Third Person POV
Somewhere at sea, East Blue.

...

...

In the vast waters of the East Blue, beneath an expansive sky, the current Straw Hat crew occupied the Navy ship they had "acquired." It was a day after the revealing conversation with Nami, and the atmosphere hummed with a mix of each member doing their own things in their free time, as Luffy had given everyone a longer break on this day.

Zoro and Kuina, on the deck, dedicated themselves to their sword training. Calculated and precise movements indicated their intense focus as they continued to hone their skills. Closed eyes revealed deep immersion in the training.

Nami, in the lounge, now officially part of the crew, was in her own room, immersed in maps and navigation instruments. Her focused attention on routes and coordinates demonstrated the seriousness with which she would begin playing her crucial role in the crew. Agile fingers traced lines on the maps as she planned the course ahead through the weaker sea routes.

Usopp, in his workshop, worked on his weapons. His slingshot had been replaced by deadly weapons that Luffy handed to him with their manuals. These weapons were secret projects of the World Government to enhance their strength in the future. Luffy acquired the designs and prototypes through some millions, but he didn't even come close to the real equipment, which were worth hundreds of millions or even billions. With Usopp now part of the crew and adapting to his new fighting approach, much deadlier than before, his expression revealed enthusiasm and passion as he explored new creations and refined his weapons. Skillful fingers shaped the crew's future.

Shirahoshi and Megalo were on the deck, both watching the horizon and enjoying the sea breeze. The mermaid princess seemed fascinated by the vast ocean and the sight of the surface, while Megalo displayed a content expression.

Chouchou, the loyal crew dog, was beside Yamato, both on the deck. Chouchou sniffed the air, taking in the new sea scents, while Yamato trained her skills with determination.

The rescued couple, now free, was on the main deck, observing the crew with a mix of amusement in one of the chairs. Luffy let them do as they pleased, as long as it didn't interfere with the group's training. The man and the woman, still recovering from the shock of the turnaround in their lives, exchanged silent glances; the woman occasionally commented, but no one understood.

While each crew member performed their individual tasks, the collective spirit of the Straw Hats permeated the ship. The atmosphere was charged with a unique energy.
On the mast, Luffy sat, lost in his thoughts as he explored the system with a determined and curious expression. His gaze, fixed on the possibilities unfolding before the crew, as he closely examined a crew screen on the system.
