Post-War
After Ace's death, a shattered Luffy takes refuge on Amazon Lily; the war's aftermath reshapes the world as he decides to postpone the reunion with his crew by two years to grow stronger.
The post-war is Luffy's darkest period: broken by Ace's loss, he is nursed back to health at Rusukaina and Amazon Lily. Sneaking back to Marineford to ring the bell, he sends his crew a coded message — the '3D2Y' tattoo — asking to postpone the Sabaody reunion by two years. Meanwhile the world shifts: Blackbeard becomes an Emperor, the Marines reorganise and the Straw Hats begin their training.
