"Eh? Why are you guys following me? I'm just searching for a place to have a nap" Spoke Yuki with a shrug and Smoker simply snorted at him and said "I can't leave a pirate like you alone... and I guess Vice admiral Garp feels the same way"
"Eh not really… I'm just here to talk with him" Spoke Garp suddenly and Smoker who was staring at him seriously couldn't help but freeze as the air between them grew awkward before Smoker coughed to hide his embarrassment and said "Anyways, I will keep an eye on him!"
"Oy Garp-san, doesn't it feel like he simply doesn't want to work with the rest of the people to clear the rubble?" spoke Yuki with a cunning grin and Garp appeared as if he was enlightened as he said "AHH, that's probably true, go clear the rubble you slacker!" Then Garp kicked him away sending him flying into the distance and leaving Smoker's butt red like the tip of his ignited cigar..;
Finding themselves alone, Yuki suddenly smirked and said "Now then, slacker-san what do you want to talk about?"
"It seems like you already realized I didn't want to work, HAHAHA" Garp laughed loudly, in fact, he was loud enough to the point that he let everyone hear him prompting them to start throwing stones at him which he simply shrugged off before he stared seriously at Yuki and said "Now then… we need to talk young man…"
Yuki's eyes narrowed slightly, although anyone close to him would have seen the ignited greed in his green eyes…
…..
Meanwhile, above the ocean not far away from Alabasta, Doflamingo was jumping in the air with blood seeping from the corner of his mouth and countless injuries covering his body… Cuts, bruises, corrosion, burn marks… It almost felt like he went through every natural disaster in existence…
Cough cough
"That kid really got me good… where in the hell did someone like this emerge from? Someone with a body more durable than even Kaido!"
Doflamingo wondered fearfully and he couldn't help but rush away even faster, especially when he recalled how that guy kept growing stronger during their fight!
...…..
"You want to be a warlord huh? I guess it's possible considering what you did here, but it will put a huge target on your back, are you sure you still want to do it?" Spoke Garp calmly and Yuki replied with a nod and said seriously "I'm 100% sure"
"Well, If you hand over Crocodile and restore Alubarna as you plan to do to further showcase your immense power, I'm sure it will be easy to convince those old fouls… But I better not hear that you are using that authority in a similar way to Crocodile"
Yuki could see the hidden rage under Garp's casual appearance, this was a man that didn't tolerate evil and pirates, in fact, the only reason he was even considering Yuki's proposition is because he didn't want a worse pirate to end up filling that position…
"Well, you don't need to worry about that" spoke Yuki with a warm smile, a smile only those who knew him would know that he was in lying mode, but no matter how skillful Garp can be in Observation Haki and even if he could sense emotions, he would still not be able to sense Yuki's true emotions thanks to his ability, Master Of Self!
….
The following day, Yuki observed as Yurei worked tirelessly with the people of Alabasta and the marines to clean the rubble in Alubarna.
Yurei would from time to time throw a giant rock at him as he was feeling jealous with Yuki getting to rest and being treated as a hero while he had to work all night long, and the marines would cheer him every time he did so…
"Yuki-san, we got the blueprints of the city that you requested" spoke Cobra who suddenly arrived with his guards only to witness a giant rock smashing into them…
"Y-you, you killed the king of Alabasta!" Yelled the marines at Yurei whose face turned completely blue and quickly tried to deny "No No NOOO! You guys were all cheering me, you are in this with me you motherfuckers!"
"Get back to work you idiots!" Yelled Smoker while shaking his head as he could see that Garp who was napping beside Yuki had suddenly woken up and the rock ended up smashing and shattering right on the back of his head causing him to start bleeding, and in turn, he was going to make some people bleed!

"You little brat! How dare you throw a rock at me?" Yelled Garp before he rushed at Yurei and started beating him up despite the latter trying to phantom phase away, and Yurei found to his shock that it was to no effect against Garp's fists of love that were coated in Haki…
"I thought I was going to die for a second there" Spoke Cobra while heaving a sigh of relief and his retainers felt the same way while Yuki who was covered by the rubble slowly stood up and dusted his clothes before he said "You got the blueprints?"
"Ah, that's right, here you go" the shocked Cobra quickly recovered his calm and handed the blueprints to Yuki.
Some contained the general layout of Alubarna while some had specific plans of certain structures such as houses, the royal palace, markets, and hospitals… A blueprint for everything needed was contained in the stack of paper that Cobra handed him which surprised Yuki by how fast they handled everything.
However, he could see the giant bags under many people's eyes including Cobra and he suddenly understood 'This kingdom has a good king, and good retainers as well…"
After concluding his thoughts, Yuki patted Cobra slightly and said "Leave everything else to me" Then, he started approaching the location where Alubarna once existed and yelled "Everyone, please retreat, I will deal with the rest"
The people couldn't help but pause as they were doubtful of what Yuki was planning to do, but Cobra soon started ordering them to retreat as well which left Yuki standing alone in the middle of what remained of the rubble, but it was mostly sand as everything else moved away…
"Now then, first let's organize these plans…" muttered Yuki before activating Absolute focus and Lucid mind causing his processing speed to increase to an all-time high, then he extended his hands in both directions and said "Basic Earth Manipulation!"
His earth manipulation was currently at level 5 and with his soul being level 100, he can manipulate 500 Kg of earth. The earth moved at a moderate speed, it wasn't fast, but it wasn't that slow either.
However, Yuki wasn't surprised by this as he already did plenty of tests yesterday and found out that the furthest he was from his limit which was 500 kgs the faster he can manipulate the earth…
'Does this brat have a devil fruit?' Wondered Garp and everyone else silently...
The people watched as the accumulated rubble they didn't gather yet slowly started gathering and forming into one single structure… The royal palace!
However, Yuki didn't have the time to take in the shocked looks that the people were sending him as he was in a state of absolute focus with only a single goal in mind, to complete all the blueprints he was given!
….
2 days later
A ship was slowly sailing through the sea when suddenly, a medium-sized gull came flying down, and it was actually carrying a stack of newspapers around its neck.
The ship of course was the going merry, and Nami instantly approached the medium-sized bird and directly paid for the newspaper, this was different from how she usually acted since she would try to haggle and rip off even these helpless birds out off a few berries, but now she seemed too agitated, and the thick air surrounding the ship and its members including the captain Luffy made it clear that they weren't in a good mood…
"EVERYONE, COME QUICKLY, THERE'S NEWS ON YUKI!" Yelled Nami at the top of her voice startling everyone, and Luffy instantly stumbled from the bow of the ship and arrived beside her.
Usopp, Sanji, Zoro, and Chopper also came running to hear what she had to say and they were followed by the curious Robin who recently joined their crew…
"What what tell us quickly!" Spoke Luffy and he almost snatched the paper from her, and only then did Nami wake up and said
"It said that Yuki managed to fight with Doflamingo for a whole day, their fight was said to be so terrifying that it erased Alubarna from the face of the world and it only stopped when the hero of the marines Garp arrived, however, it was said that he basically saved Doflamingo considering that he left in a terrible state while Yuki wasn't that damaged…" Then Nami showed them a picture of the destroyed Alubarna on the news…
"SHSHISHI I knew Yuki would be fine" Spoke Luffy with a happy look on his face but Usopp instantly retorted "Weren't you the one who lost his appetite for two days just because you were worried?"
"Eh?" Luffy suddenly appeared to have recalled something and directly hugged Sanji and yelled "SANJI I'm hungry!"
"Let go of me you bastard! Only ladies can hug me!"
Robin noticed how the atmosphere in the ship instantly lightened up and she couldn't help but feel slightly jealous of Yuki at this moment, however, Zoro suddenly spoke calmly after he noticed that Nami still had more to share "This isn't everything on the news right?"
"Eh?" Luffy paused slightly and let go of Sanji and Chopper whom he was threatening to eat if he didn't get food right away…
Nami nodded to Zoro and said "After the battle, Yuki did something even more outrageous… He restored Alubarna to a better state than it used to be shocking everyone to the point that he was offered the position of a warlord of the sea!"
"EHHHH" The whole crew was shocked, but then Nami showed them a picture of the restored Alubarna, and their eyes couldn't help but widen in surprise, especially Zoro who couldn't help but wonder 'Just who in the hell is that guy? wasn't he supposed to not have a devil fruit?'
"Did he accept that position?" Asked Robin and Nami nodded to the shock of the crew…
"It said here that he will travel to the marine headquarters to negotiate with them first, but he doesn't appear to be going to refuse…"
"I can't believe he will actually become a warlord…" Muttered Usopp… Meanwhile, Luffy fell silent while Sanji lit up a cigarette… As for Zoro he simply hugged his Wado Ichimonji silently...
