For the lives of the the gray terminal to be uplifted from their current deplorable state, intervention was a must. Itachi ventured into the Foosha village to make some deals and some other arrangements.
Medical help and food security was the primary concern. Making deals with the mayor who was Woop Slap, Itachi made arrangements for the construction of a temporary settlement that included a tent city where the residents of gray terminal could be moved to. The permanent settlement would be another village that would also have to be constructed from scratch but the tent city and supplies would suffice for now.
"Your intentions are pure kid but castles are not made of dreams. Some serious cash backing would be required, for this is quite large endeavour. Plus nobody wants to go to the dump. Who would convince the people of that dump to move.",replied Warp.
"Leave that to me. You just do what i asked for, Warp-san.",Itachi replied and took out a package from his shirt.
"Here is the initial money to get you going.",Itachi replied.
The mayor looked stupefied at seeing the amount of money he was being offered.
"These are 21 million beri in total. These will be enough to get the project started. And don't worry about who to send to the terminal. Just forward me the supplies. I will get you more capital once I procure it.",replied Itachi grimly.
The mayor looked shocked at such a selfless act. A lone tear began to fall from his face.
"You know Luffy, I always knew you were someone unique. In this dog-eat-dog world, you have decided to build a dog shelter.",said the mayor with wavering voice and then started to laugh like a maniac.
"Someone has to look after the little guys.",replied Itachi simply giving the old mayor a small smile which had become so rare that it even shocked the mayor and he was left speechless.

A week later, the denizens of the gray terminal woke up to a different morning. A line that zigzagged along the junkyard, but so great in length that it dwarfed even the tallest pile of junk in the gray terminal had formed.
Ace and Sabo seeing the commotion asked a random guy what was happening.
"A guy is giving out food and medicine for free. Get in line kids before it runs out.", replied the guy sounding a little too gleeful.
Ace and Sabo looked at him dubiously.
"Let's go, Sabo, we will check it out.",Ace said. Running as fast as those legs could take him, Ace ran to the front of queue.
"What are you doing here, Luffy. Dadan has been looking for you for days", demanded Ace seeing none other than Itachi there.
Itachi raised an eyebrow, promptly ignoring Ace and continued to distribute soup and bread to the residents.
"What does it look like. Extra hands would be appreciated.", replied Itachi after a moment.
Ace and Sabo reluctantly agreed and went on to do so.
Itachi continued to distribute the goods until there was none left.
Itachi then jumped on the table and began to address the audience.
"I am free of all prejudices, for i hate everyone equally.",Itachi smiled at the joke internally.
"The history of the past is but one long struggle upward to equality. One that sadly hasn't been achieved, yet. We have fought for it since the dawn of time and would continue to do so, for the minuscule chance that our children may live in a more free world than we did.", Itachi said.
"If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals. By that logic, you have and character so unbreakable that even the stench of this place can't break it. I have seen some of you, helping your fellow man, even in these dire times when you had to scrounge for every little piece of junk just to survive.",Itachi said feeling sad at the at the conditions of gray terminal.
"They claim that we filthy the air by being in their presence." pointing towards the high town.
"Will you love with me, without prejudice, for i love everyone equally.",finished Itachi.
His speech was met a thunderous applause and some people even had tears in their eyes. Itachi explained the relocation plan to the residents and was met with a positive response from the majority.
Some of the unsavoury elements like the thieves and pirates decided to stay here since their livelihood depended on cheating and robbing each other after. And proximity to the rich was a necessary aspect of their livelihood, they decided to stay.
:::::::
Seeing the blunder that Itachi had made by ignoring a problem so close to his own home, Itachi realised that he needed information which could only be procured from the heart of the high town. He knew the basics since he read the news every day, but he had been oblivious to certain topics of information such as the exact geography, history and other vital aspects of the world he currently decided. The news was also often biased since the media was controlled by the world government.
It was time for an infiltration mission in the heart of the Goa kingdom.
:::::::
Raiding the Libraries of the nobles of the Goa kingdom, Itachi came across various topics which were unknown to him beforehand. Itachi had to filter out the bullshit propaganda from the information.
The world was split into 4 oceans where the majority of the population liked on various isles and archipelagos-East, West, North and South Blue with a supermassive continent called Red line the ran around the circumference of the world acting as the prime meridian of the world. The grand line was an equator ocean current which divided the world into the north and south while red line which towered thousands of metres above the ocean dividing it further into east and west, hence forming the 4 blues. The grand line was surrounded by the calm belt on both sides which had no winds and was filled with sea kings and other gigantic monstrosities of the world. The rest of the information was highly redacted and Itachi had to use conjecture to fill the various gaps in. Perhaps the information had been regulated by the upper echelons of the world nobles.
Only the east blue had been completely mapped and the rest were only partially mapped. The west blue was the most unknown of the four oceans where Shanks had originated from, if Itachi remembered correctly.
After sorting out this mess of grey terminal, he had to venture out into the oceans if he wanted to bring about some change into the world.
Despite there being thousands of books in the library of the nobles, Itachi only looked at the essential info. One needed to see the people, to judge what their sufferings were and one could not learn that via books which were propaganda driven and highly redacted as it is. So after exiting the, library Itachi morphed into a noble via his genjutsu.
Itachi entered the royal family palace.
:::::::
"Who are you and how dare you enter the royal palace, you lower noble. I haven't seen you here. So, you must be from an off-shoot branch right?",Outlook III said to Itachi who was currently disguised as a noble.
Instead of replying crows flew from the silhouette and it was an Itachi whose dark robe bellowed behind him.
"You are not a noble. You are trash from the gray terminal, aren't you. Those rapists and thieves dare to come and steal from our high town."
Thinking back to the pains and trampled on denizens of the gray terminal, Itachi's eyes morphed to the three tome sharingan and further morphed into a pin wheel like pattern.
"What are you doing? No matter, soon those trash people will burn along with the trash they live in. Isn't it ironic."laughed Outlook in a maniac fashion.
"Tsukuyomi!", said Itachi in a barely a whisper but the effect was immediate.
Author's note: I am free of all prejudices, for i hate everyone equally. This is a quote by W. C. Fields. Basically, Itachi means to say that, Itachi hates someone not because they are rich, poor, human, fishmen etc., but because he hates them indifferntly. The love everyone was a twist on the earlier quote that i thought that was witty at the time.
Someone asked how Itachi has chakra or the Sharingan in the one piece world. Here's my explanation. Itachi's soul reincarnated, and as he grew, his chakra network also started to expand via a central core. In my fic i am taking the soul as being synonymous with the chakra flame at the centre of the chakra network. And if you are wondering on how genjutsu is working on the people of the one piece world; this is my theory= [People of the once piece world have the potential to use haki. It is similar to an energy that exists in every living being. Just like how in Naruto's world genjutsu manipulates the chakra in the brain, genjustsu similarly affects the energy (that haki utilises)].
