Monkey D. Luffy/History/Final

To Egghead, Vegapunk's Home
After they departed Wano Country, a beaten up Luffy was locked up in a cage by a furious Nami, who scolded him for his recklessness and carelessness in engaging in the Kid Pirates' and Heart Pirates' descent from Wano, which put the whole crew in danger while Luffy, in his competitive demeanor, did not realize the jeopardy of such a maneuver. Luffy was however, later freed from the cage after he apologized and then listened to Robin as she was reading the newspaper out loud to the crew. When she mentioned the news of the Levely events, in which Sabo was accused of murdering Cobra, Luffy remarked that Sabo would never do such a thing. When hearing upon Vivi gone missing during the Levely, Luffy suggested they would set out for Alabasta, but after being corrected by Zoro that Vivi was last seen in Marie Geoise so Luffy suggested that they head there instead, only to be once again shut down by Zoro who reminded him that they would walk straight into the enemies's dent. Luffy is then reminded of Ace once saying to him that Ace had his own adventures and that he would be trusted to handle himself until he would need help. Zoro then argued that they should have the same confidence in Vivi's, only to be taunted by Luffy, Nami, Chopper, and Sanji. Luffy was then asked by Robin if he wanted to hear more of the news, but replied that he left it in her care and only to be alerted if something big happened. Luffy then laid down and told everyone about how his dream is so no one would have to give up their freedom and have it taken away like it happened to him as a kid. He then told everyone about the day Sabo, Ace and Luffy made an oath and told everybody what he told them, leaving everyone surprised, with Usopp even telling him what Luffy wants is impossible despite his beliefs. Luffy then realized he never told anyone what he had told to Ace, Sabo and Shanks, but says that at the end of the dream that is what he wants.

Days later, the crew was sailing close to a Winter Island when a warm column of water was in the air, with a person inside. After Zoro cuts the current, Chopper, who walked outside, was swept away by the resulting wind and Luffy, who tried to save him, was swept away as well.
