Luffy Died When He Set Sail, And At The Beginning, I Become The Sun God?

In a certain airspace.

Luffy held Vivi in a princess carry and flew rapidly towards the direction of the Alabasta Kingdom from an altitude of over 4,000 meters.

Whenever a white flame appeared beneath their feet, they would instantly burst into an extremely fast speed, leaving a trail in the air.

Afterwards, the speed would decrease, and they would enter the next jump, repeating this process.

For the Going Merry and the Thousand Sunny, it would take them two days and two nights to travel, but for Luffy in his Gear Second form, it would only take twenty minutes.

This was still the result of him intentionally slowing down. If he disregarded his physical stamina and went all out, he could arrive in as little as five minutes.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah~~~"

Vivi tightly closed her eyes and screamed in fear.

She buried her head into Luffy's chest and said, "L-Luffy-san, can you slow down a bit? It's too fast!"

"If you don't hold on so tightly, I can go even faster."

He joked, but Luffy still slightly slowed down.

If the princess wasn't in a hurry, then he wasn't either.

Feeling the weakening wind blowing against her, Vivi gasped for breath and slightly opened her eyes.

The first thing she saw was the face of the man holding her.

His gaze was firm, his forehead covered in sweat, and he was breathing slightly heavily.

Vivi bit her lip, feeling as if something soft in her heart had been struck.

For him, this journey was extremely dangerous. As a Devil Fruit user, if he exhausted his stamina and fell into the sea...

The consequences would be unimaginable!

But even so, after realizing the urgency of the situation, he didn't hesitate and brought her along without a second thought.

"I'm sorry, Luffy-san. You must be tired."

Vivi unconsciously held on tighter and spoke in a gentle tone, like a spring of water. "I'm causing you trouble, but I'm scared myself."

"I'm not tired."

Luffy laughed and shook his head. The reason he was sweating was because it was hot. You're holding on too tightly, so anyone would feel hot.

But when Vivi heard this, it had a completely different meaning.

He was being strong, not wanting to worry me.

Vivi was deeply moved, and if it weren't for the national affairs she was pretending to be concerned about, she would be even more touched.

"I understand now, I won't be afraid! This height is nothing!" she said, taking a deep breath and sounding more determined.

"Mr. Luffy, please accelerate to the fullest, I can handle any speed!" she continued.

"Are you sure? Even I might not be able to control it if I go all out, I might end up hurting you," Luffy replied.

"Please accelerate!" Vivi said earnestly.

If you run out of stamina at 563, I'll carry you! she thought to herself. She knew the Moonwalk technique, although she had never tried carrying someone while using it. But if something unexpected happened, she would definitely endure it.

"In that case, I'll speed up," Luffy said.

With a thought from Luffy, Haki formed an invisible shield around him. In an instant, a white flame cloud appeared beneath their feet, larger than before.

Boom!!

After a loud roar, their speed reached a new limit.

The sound couldn't catch up with them at this moment and was left behind.

Supersonic speed!

But it only lasted for less than a second before quickly fading.

Vivi nervously held her breath and looked down at the sea below. In the blink of an eye, the Sea Kings that had surfaced disappeared.

But she didn't feel the wind pressure; it was blocked by Haki.

Vivi's eyes trembled slightly. She gradually withdrew her gaze and stared blankly at the face that was close to her. Then she closed her eyes and rested her head on his chest.

In silence, time passed.

"I see it, Alabasta," Luffy said softly.

The distant island rapidly expanded in their field of vision until, with a loud crash, they collided with it directly.

To be precise, it collided with a building.

A port city, rapeseed flowers.

A restaurant.

Ace suddenly raised his head, his face covered in grains of fried rice from the desert.

He rubbed his eyes and became slightly more awake.

"Not good, I fell asleep again. Huh? Where's the boss?"

Not seeing the boss, he didn't pay much attention and lifted the spoon to his mouth.

While chewing the delicious fried rice, he silently released his observation haki.

He heard many sounds.

The panicked voices of the people, sweet words from some individuals, the sound of the military running in formation, and in the distance, the sound of horse hooves.

"It's really chaotic. When will Luffy come? Maybe he didn't take this magnetic route? Only a one in seven chance."

Departing from Cape Gemini, among the seven magnetic routes, only one route passes through Alabasta.

"Just a few more days... Huh?"

Ace was about to put away his observation haki when suddenly, a tremendous aura entered his detection range, as if a sun had appeared in the dark night, impossible to ignore.

His eating motion froze.

"What is it?"

He looked up in astonishment, towards the position above and to the side.

In that instant.

Boom!!

The ceiling of the restaurant shattered, and a figure fell, raising a cloud of dust.

Everything happened too quickly.

From sensing the intruding aura with his observation haki, to looking up towards the position above and to the side.

In just that short motion, the other party had already arrived in front of him.

The bar counter in the restaurant shattered from the impact, and the food on the table fell to the ground.

"So fast!!!"

Ace maintained the motion of lifting the spoon, stunned for several seconds before suddenly snapping back to reality, his sharp gaze fixed on the back of the bar counter.

The dust gradually settled, revealing the figure of the intruders bit by bit.

There were two of them.

One man and one woman.

The man held the woman, maintaining a landing posture, with slightly bent knees, dissipating all the impact.

What was incredible was that despite enduring such intensity of impact, the ground was unharmed!

No, the ground had softened!

Like rubber, it sank in, but slowly bounced back, returning to its original state.

Ace's mouth hung open in astonishment, his gaze slowly shifting upward, all his attention focused on the man.

"Lu...,"

His eyes widened, and he instinctively called out Luffy's name.

But the word "fly" couldn't come out and he stopped again.

The silver figure resembled Luffy from his memory, but also different.

"?"

Luffy also paused for a moment, only then noticing that there was someone sitting next to his landing point.

"Luffy?!"

Ace blurted out in disbelief, "Is it really you?"

Luffy was equally surprised to have run into him.

Vivi, trembling with her two delicate eyebrows, slowly opened her eyes and happened to see Ace.

"Mr. Luffy, have we... arrived?" she asked in a low voice, still shaken.

It was only when she spoke that Ace finally shifted his attention to her.

The man held the woman, and the woman held the man.

Anyone would think the same in this situation.

"Is this my sister-in-law?"

Ace was first taken aback, then grinned.

After three years, his idiot little brother actually had a woman, no, it should be said, a woman who liked Luffy?!

Unbelievable!

As the older brother, it is important to have manners at this time and leave a good impression on my sister-in-law. I can't ruin my younger brother's relationship.

Thinking of this, he quickly stood up and bowed ninety degrees:

"Hello, I am Ace. My incompetent younger brother has been taken care of by you."

"F..."

Vivi looked confused and instinctively waved her hand, saying blankly, "I am the one who has been taken care of by Mr. Luffy all along."

After speaking, she looked at Luffy with a bewildered look for help.

Luffy was silent for a while before speaking:

"Why don't you come down first?"

"Ah, sorry~"

Vivi blushed and quickly got out of Luffy's arms.

"This is Ace. I mentioned him briefly on Drum Island. He is my sworn brother from when I was a child."

Luffy explained to Vivi first, then introduced Ace: "She is Princess Vivi of Alabasta."

Princess?

Pirates and princesses?

Ace looked surprised. Could it be that this guy kidnapped her?

One of the things pirates love to do is go and capture princesses.

It's not uncommon for princesses to be kidnapped by pirates and sold as slaves.

However, upon closer inspection, these two seem to have a good relationship and a close attitude.

I'm overthinking it.

How could Luffy do such a thing!

"Long time no see, Luffy!"

Regardless of whether she is a princess or not, it doesn't matter. Ace grinned and reached out his hand.

"Long time no see."

Luffy slapped his hand and shook hands with him.

At the next moment, the two began to compete in grip strength.

But obviously, facing Luffy in his Niko form, Ace was no match at all.

"You've grown, Luffy. By the way, what's with your appearance?"

"It's a long story, and I doubt you're interested."

While saying this, Luffy released his Niko form.

Ace didn't ask further, "I'm tracking a man and happened to come nearby, so I thought I'd drop by to see you. It was you who triggered the Summit War! What kind of strength do you have to dare to go after Blackbeard..."

Luffy shook his head, "I don't have time to chat right now. There's something important I need to do."

Saying this, he glanced at Vivi.

Vivi, who understood the signal, immediately spoke up, "I'm sorry, Mr. Luffy, Mr. Ace. You've just reunited, and I'm sure you have a lot to talk about..."

She explained the situation in Alabasta.

Ace couldn't bear it when he heard this!

His sister-in-law's matter was his matter!

Crocodile, huh?

A Shichibukai, huh?

We'll fight the Shichibukai!

"Let's go, Luffy! Vivi! That bastard Crocodile dared to do such a thing, it's unforgivable!"

He took the lead and walked towards the door.

Vivi blinked her eyes, wondering how there suddenly was another helper, and why they were more enthusiastic than her...

"Mr. Luffy, is your brother very strong?"

"He's a Logia user with the Mera-mera Fruit ability, with a bounty of 575 million berries."

Luffy laughed, "He's just average, not as strong as me!"

"I can't let that slide, Luffy. After we deal with Crocodile, I'll have a match with you to see how much you've grown in these three years!"

Ace's voice came from outside the door.

"Let's go."

Luffy smiled slightly and pulled Vivi along.

It was a completely subconscious action.

Vivi was completely unaware and naturally followed along.

The three of them walked side by side on the street.

Noticing that the two were holding hands, Ace nodded silently.

Hmm, so she's his sister-in-law after all. Luffy misunderstood. This kid wouldn't do something like kidnapping a princess.

But then again, how come I didn't notice before? This kid has this kind of ability?

Men really change after being apart for three days. I have to look at him with new eyes!

The strength that came down from the sky earlier was enough to shock him. He might not even be able to beat Luffy now.

"I say, Ace, you're the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' Second Division now, right?"

"That's right, what about it? Are you coming too?"

Hearing Luffy's question, Ace smiled and extended an invitation.

I'm not interested in being someone's son.

"Listen to my advice, quickly resign from the position of the Second Division captain," Luffy said seriously.

"Why?" Ace was taken aback.

"Do you know who the previous Second Division captain was?"

"Kozuki Oden."

When Ace first took over as captain, he didn't know who the previous captain was, but someone later told him.

He looked at Luffy in confusion.

"Kozuki Oden. Do you dare to take on this position? This position is cursed!"

Luffy shook his head.

How did Kozuki Oden die? He was boiled in oil and shot.

How did Ace die? In the Summit War, he was punched through the chest by Admiral Akainu while protecting the original Luffy.

But this is just superficial!

In reality, both of them are "stupid" to death.

If Ace didn't block that attack, Luffy definitely wouldn't die. How could the protagonist die? Maybe he would awaken the Sun God on the spot!

He doesn't have to die either.

The position of the vice captain of the second team must be cursed.

The two of them chatted along the way, and Vivi just listened silently, not daring to interrupt.

It wasn't until this moment that she realized that Luffy had been holding her hand all along, and her face turned red as she started to daydream, losing interest in interrupting.

"Speaking of which, where are you taking us?"

After walking for a while, Luffy suddenly asked.

"I've only been in this country for a few days too. Where is Crocodile?"

"If you don't know and still lead us around, Ace, you're an idiot."

"Hahaha, don't worry, that guy's goal is to steal this country, right? He'll definitely show up in the capital. Let's go there directly and wait for him."

Ace laughed, "By the way, we can also meet Vivi's father. You should behave well then, good luck!"

Upon hearing this, Vivi finally came to her senses and immediately remembered her father being assassinated yesterday.

"I'm very worried about my father's situation. If we go to Alubarna from here, it's in this direction...."

She pointed to the north.

"It's about 220 kilometers to reach the capital. Mr. Luffy, let's go to the capital first!"

Luffy had no objections to this.

"Then let's go."

Immediately, the three of them headed towards the direction of the capital on foot.

Thinking about Vivi's father... Nefertari Cobra.

No, the correct name is Nefertari D. Cobra.

Luffy also happened to have a place he was very interested in and wanted to ask about it.

This question was more important than Crocodile.

(Note: According to the information I found, Alabasta is approximately 140,000 square kilometers in size. It's roughly equivalent to Anhui Province or Greece.)
