- The Great Pirate Boss from the East -

Sitting on air itself with his legs crossed he observed the gathered armada with a contemplating expression, certain events must play out the same it seems, while he did not doubt there will be ripples from his actions and unseen butterfly effects going forward he wasn't expecting this.
“I swore an oath two years ago that nothing shall harm my friends and family ever again…tell me do you have what it takes to live by those words?” Mugiwara demanded with an uncharacteristically Serious expression that exuded command over his crew and the ones who brought forward the idea of the Straw Hat Grand fleet.
He is testing them? I wondered with surprise, that sort of thing is usually reserved for the ones he deems worthy to be his closest friends.
Bartolomeo seemed to understand what his Idol was implying and stood forward with a decisive step and with a focused look.
“Your enemies shall become mine, your family and friends will become my own and if someone dares to even lay a hand on them I will have their heads!” Bartolomeo the Man-eater declared with a dangerous smile full of teeth to his idol.
The rest of the representatives were finally able to shake away their shock and surprise and began stepping forward and follow on Bartolomeo’s steps.
He decided to throw a wrench at them just mess with their heads.
“Even if his enemies are the Gods themselves?” He gave his best impression of the Voice of God he could make and throwed a little bit of conquerors haki to give them a taste of what sort of monsters they were signing up to fight.
The gathered group froze, above them what sounded like the rumble of Thunder spoke with the authority of Nature itself. Control slipped from them as the dominance from a Will so unfathomable pressed down and demanded-no Commanded an answer to be given.
Only two people seemed to not have been shocked from his Will, a Man who desired the Throne of the Pirate King and Another who desired to become the Greatest in the world at his craft.
The Captain and his First Mate of the straw hat pirates stared both at him with different expressions.
“Ohhh its you The Lightning Guy from Marineford!” Mugiwara no Luffy pointed out, at his words the rest of the gathered group seemed to regain their wits and look at where their Big Boss was pointing at and found a Man wreathed in a Storm.
“Oi oi isn't he…”Cavendish muttered to Orlumbus concernedly.
“The Natural Disaster himself?” Ideo mussed.
“Hey robin isn't that guy who the newspaper had as their main page?” Usopp asked his more knowledgeable crewmate.
“Marius D. Fyrefray, architect of the Marineford downfall and the declared “Archenemy of the Gods” by none other than the Celestial Dragons themselves for bringing ruin upon their colonies and stealing their tribute ships after they were on route to Marie geoise.” Nico Robin stated unflinchingly, with an unreadable expression on her face.
“They call me all sorts of names for helping the people of those poor islands that were meant to be turned into slaves, the food and riches of common folk turned into tributes by incompetent kings who have no idea how to govern their islands. Let me make one thing clear, I haven't once harmed innocent people. Those colonies I helped to escape, I gave them a new chance in life to become part of my own nation and granted them true freedom and order as a citizen of the sky island I have claimed and Currently using as a base for my operation. I accepted responsibility when I took them from their cages, and as for the tributes? Those I returned back to the poor islands they were stealing from for their sick pleasures.” He answered the unasked question.
“You have an island all to yourself?!” Franky asked in shock.
“Indeed I have, while there are countless small drifting sky islands in the sky thanks to my powers I can pull them into one giant mass and keep them connected very easily. The only difficult part was to transport dirt and stone some five thousand meters in the sky which is still work in progress as the population grows and demand for wood and land grows as well.” He shrugged, it has been easy for him to scout the skies with his power.
Blitzing from one piece of sky islands drifting aimlessly to another all while creating a chain-lightning to carefully bring them all together had been a very eye-opening experience. The cloud-like-material did not require too much to fuse with its broken pieces again.
“We have diverted far from the point, you there, you still haven't answered my question.” He waved away his wandering thoughts and returned his attention upon the people who needed a wake up call.
“If I make a Vow I will stand by it.” Stated Orlumbus confidently.
“I will blow them to smithers with these fists of mine.”Ideo continued.
“I will slice them to pieces!” Cavendish exclaimed arrogantly as always, durandal unsheathed and pointed at the sky.
“I will smash them.” Hajrudin nodded powerfully as he flexed his giant fists.
“Gods? Fuck them, Their holiness can suck my DICK!” Completed Bartolomeo, as usual he was the most crass amongst his brothers in arms.
“Well at least you don't lack the resolve to stand by your vows…what about you Don Sai?” He turned to the silently observing 13th leader of the Happo Navy.
“You are implying something else when you speak of the Gods, aren't you Divine Tactician who beat the former fleet admiral Sengoku the Budhha?” The Don asked carefully as if trying to bait him to react and prove some hypothesis he had come to.
“Would it change your answer?” He replied calmly with a wide D shaped smile.
The Don’s Composure broke first when he tried to match his gaze, the collected persona disappeared as a rumbling chuckle broke through and he began laughing.
“No. I do not care what might attack us someday, I will fight to the bitter end and leave my mark On their bodies to remember me forever.” The Don answered.
“Hm. So my Vision was 100% correct huh, you guys are truly mad HahahahHAHAHA!” He blinked in surprise and began laughing with the others who then turned to the Final Person who was the one to have the most impact on this conversation expectantly.
Monkey D. Luffy was an enigma, one moment he may be the most deep thinker and the next he was the most wild Person to have ever lived. He truly was the freest person to live in this era, he lived and breathed freedom.
Pure unshackled chaos.
“Shishishishi! Then I accept your vows!” From this moment he was an official yonkou contender.
As if waiting for this moment the sake cups appeared magically in the hands of the representatives of the fleet and the Mugiwara as well.
Yo did that green haired freak just now…blink in and out of existence for a moment?
Comedically breaking the rules of reality aside…i think it's time I move on.
No. Not yet, there is a third D present and he hasn't reacted at all.
“Oi Trafalgar law…” he rumbled.”Did you say you were a D too or were my ears doing tricks to me.”
The silent shadow who had made himself comfortable on the enormous center sail of the ship regarded him with an alarmed look on his usually poker face.
“I was observing if you are wondering, truly that was some master tier baiting you did to the Heavenly Demon. Pulling up the D card was the Cherry on top but I digress, tell me Trafalgar D. Water Law are you aware of why the island of Flevance suffered a sudden amber lead poisoning?” He struck a chord on the young Man with that question judging by how he flinched.
“How did you…” Law managed to blurt out.
“I have made it my goal to cause as much political, infrastructural, economical and reputational damage to the People who founded The World Government 800 years ago…your enemies and my own are one and the same Trafalgar D Water Law, to exterminate our Bloodlines the Five elder stars Orchestrated the Poisoning of your country to kill your family and two years ago they tried to Kill me by throwing me into the calm belt where I would either drown or end up as food for the Sea Kings.” He explained, vitriol filling every syllable he spoke.
“To go so far as to kill even others who knew nothing…” Law tightened his grip on his sword as he growled slowly.
“Hehehe you actually think they care about us “mere mortals”? Hahahahaha you stupid Boy!” He laughed out loudly at the words spoken by one of the most dangerous brats to sail the seas.”...No no, you still have no frame of reference to what sort of madness those fuckers operate on.”
He turned his head towards the only people who were paying attention to their conversation, the rest were partying and having the long awaited barbeque after battle party they usually threw.
“Law I am gonna just say this once and leave you to forge your own path, this World is Doomed. You will see it soon. If I were you I would make sure to have a transponder snail around and keep an eye out for the sudden appearance of The Person I introduced to The world two years ago, he is tied to your fate.” He whispered his last words to the younger D and began walking towards the Only other person with an inkling to what he had been talking about.
Nico robin stood between the two oldest members of the crew, brook and Franky the most world savvy amongst their younger nakama.
“You made the cool-headed surgeon of death break his mask so easily, Eater of the Rumble Rumble fruit.” Nico robin stated with a chilling smile on her beautiful face.
“And you were eavesdropping. why I am not surprised, Demon Child Nico Robin.” He fired back.
“Ara ara we using titles now, Lord of Heavens Marius D. Fyrefray?” The Archeologist asked pointedly with a strained smile.
“Lord of Heavens huh, That Morgan really wants me to suffer after I plucked his feathers…no matter, I can deal with him later.” He murmured demonically under his breath a whole slew of profanities and things he will do to the Albatross Zoan user.
O. O. O.
On a certain Island…
Morgan sneezed suddenly a shiver ran down his spine, his ass feathers were tingling and he had a bad feeling that Something very evil is after his feathery ass.
O. O. O.
Back with the plot.
Franky blinked as he processed what this dangerous man had said to them.
“–do not allow her to fall into the hands of World Government Straw Hats, even If you have to break your morals do not absolutely allow them to get her at all costs. The things they will do to her if they manage to achieve such a thing will be beyond belief. Rape and torture are only the first things that will be followed by far far worse…and death isn't on that list that I assure you.” The Lightning Logia had indeed kept his word when he said that he would make them shit themselves by the time he was halfway done.
This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.
“You truly don't mince your words do you Young Man?” The usually cheery afro Skeleton Man stated chillingly as he digested the horrifying image he was told if his crewmate fell into the hands of The World government.
“They would go to such lengths?” Franky spoke for the first time.
“You of all people should know how far they are willing to go, Cutty Flam, didn't you learn a lesson when they used your own creations to fabricate a false crime that your Master, Tom, paid the price?” At those words Franky's memories swam back in time.
Master Tom was charged with crimes he didn't commit…
“Good it seems the memories are still fresh as an opened wound, never forget that image Franky or the next person may end up being her.” He pointed at the visibly shaken Robin who had given up on the pretense of not being shaken at the revelations.” I have been tracking your progress as you forge your own path, wanna know which island will be your next destination?”
The three straw hats looked at each other with wary expressions before returning their eyes back to the Dangerous Logia.
“Which will it be?” Asked franky.
“Whole cake archipelago. I hear a certain emperor of the sea is throwing a tea party and another wedding for one of her daughters…” He replied with a knowing glint in his eyes that spoke a thousand words.
A chill ran down the whole crew's spine at those words, something about that wedding sounded ominous.
“Another proven fact this time…” He whispered to the three of them just to make sure nobody else heard any of what he was revealing.”Your plan is known to Kaido, There is a certain Painting-brush wielder who has revealed it all to the Current Shogun Kurozumi Orochi. His name Is Kurozumi Kanjuro.”
The three straw hats wore expressions of shock, disbelief and outrage. Franky was the most vocal as he tried getting up and going towards the traitor in their midst.
“Franky don't.” Robin intervened, she locked her gaze with the cyborg and shook her head.
“Indeed franky-san, If we deal with the Spy now it may have the opposite effect on our allies. They might think we are turning on them.” Brook added.
“Tch this is so not super…” the cyborg ground his teeth as he glared at the back of the Traitor.
“This is why you should invest in transponder snails, it may end up saving your lives one day. Information is power and guarding it is the key to Winning against more powerful and well-established Rivals.” I pulled out a paper from my pocket and handed it to the Archeologist who took and read it carefully.
“If you are going to fight Kaido, then I have one suggestion for you. Train your haki, it will prove invaluable and it may end up saving your asses one day.” He stood up from his cross-legged position and floated up while maintaining his gaze on the staring Monkey D. Luffy who hadn't stopped for a moment focusing his observation haki on him.
“Otherwise you are nothing more than baggage to your Captain, First mate and the Cook. This is the New World, there is no place for weaklings in this Sea.” Just as he finished his declaration, mist began clouding the area in great quantities without any warning.
Unseen went the great ship that flew from the sky and landed a few meters away from the gathered fleet.
“Well that is my signal to leave, we will meet again soon straw hats and I hope I find you As I left you.” He declared, the flying ship became visible as the mist lessened in density around the area where he flew.
“Hey Isn't that…” Usopp pointed at the flying vessel that was flying on the same level as the railing of the great Ship they were staying on.
“Enel's ship…” Zoro stated as his one eye tracked the lightning Logia’s presence.
“So he beat Enel and took his fruit and ship?” asked chopper Shockedly.
“Probably killed him without any sweat judging by how well maintained that ship is…”mussed Zoro as he contemplated the Fate of the one Man he hadn't been able to cut.
The ship and the mist flew up and disappeared into the clouds, leaving the straw hats to contemplate what it signaled.
“Hmm…Marius was his name huh? Never got to thank him back then shishishishi!”
.
.
.
O. O. O.
“So why did you come without sending a message beforehand?”He asked the woman who was staring daggers at him.
“Why? Why, you ask…” a vein popped in her beautiful face at the question.
‘Is it that time of month already? Shit I may have fucked up.’ He sweat dropped at the fire that suddenly lit up in the eyes of his…wife.
“You have been gone for two months and haven't called as you usually do and the damn news keeps saying you are being hunted down by the entire World Government military force! What the hell am I supposed to think about the father of my child you asshole!?” Doll demanded with tears building in her eyes.
Aw fuck…pregnancy mood swings damn, fuck me fuck! He cursed mentally, he really didn't have anything against her as it wasn't her fault but goddamn. Everything is amplified in this goddamn world, strength, skills even the damn hormones and the resulting mood swings were upped to eleven here.
Comfort her, you jackass! You have been so self-absorbed and focused on the world's workings that you forgot you got a kid coming soon!His inner self slapped him mentally.
“I am sorry, terribly so. I have been so focused on the current events and the consequences that I got tunnel vision my dear. My future sight keeps me so focused I forget I am even human sometimes to be honest with you.” He apologized, he truly meant it as it was the truth.
Future information+future sight+a bad propensity for manipulation= ultra hardcore tunnel vision and a Hard murder bonner.
Doll made a face that was between angry and exhaustion, it's not like she didn't get his thought process but it still irked her that he forgets about their shared responsibilities.
“Hmph, you are gonna have to make it up! Three hours of care and three days worth of babying or else…”there was an ominous silence at her last words, the threat was more dangerous than all of the CP0 attempts to try and kill him these past two years.
“I am gonna just double that just to be safe…” I muttered pathetically at the stares he got from his lieutenants and the ship crew who gave him varying levels of disappointed looks.
That doesn't mean I will let you off the hook once I calm down this beast you fuckers! How dare you betray me and bring out the only weakness I have, you absolute morons! Just before he entered the cabin he will be staying for six days he turned around and blasted his minions with the most intimidating Conqueror's haki blast he could muster.
He got the reaction he wanted when all of them lost a few shades of color and began sweating profusely.
.

[Six days later…after 144 hours of comforting.]
The crew all had varying levels of giant smoking bumps on their heads, some were crying and some were trying to mask the black eyes and bruised lips they had gotten for following the orders of the Mistress(which were absolute since their boss said so but they would never dare bring that part up or he may just end up using them as a test subject to some new ability he has found out from his fruit or even magic skill.)
“Now, Goto, since you are here I need you to cause a large-scale mist zone that encompasses at least fifty kilometers radius of that fleet down there.” He ordered his only logia fruit user of his group, a tall man built like a swimmer he recruited after helping out him and the entire slave ship break free from the tribute fleet from a certain country in the north blue.
He has eaten the mist mist fruit and as a result he is a mist human.
In his opinion one of the most versatile fruits out there on par with Ope Ope fruit, it can control weather to a limited scale compared to my fruit but it can also micromanage what it creates and build on them. Creating mist isn't particularly draining and as the density builds up the user can then put all his creativity into creating mirages, illusions that can look so real your senses will be fooled. It grants total immunity to poison gasses since mist is lighter than gas itself.
The only Natural weakness it has is cold based powers, but that's to be expected since all logias have a counter in nature.
Sand can overpower magma, magma beats ice and fire beats snow and turns sand into glass just as it melts snow, snow can fuck up mist and mist can make it hard for fire to exist. Ice beats mist, ice can be shaped into reflective surfaces which reflect light, and wood can theoretically absorb light, wood can also absorb mist but fire can burn it just as lava can.
Lightning beats them all tho.
Lightning's one and only weakness is rubber.
…I got sidetracked there.
“I will pay Doflamingo a visit. You guys make way back to the Sky island and prepare the pens of all the aquatic and amphibious beasts for release. We are gonna hit an Emperor's domain soon and I really wanna cripple her outdated system she is so proud of.” He informed his now healed crew, they are all hand picked users of biofeedback after all and such love taps would be gone without any trace as no injury can remain on the body of a user of that skill if they have nutrition saved “in” them.
He turned to his wife and nodded before Transforming into a bolt of blue lightning and began following the mist's trajectory towards the warships of the navy who were transporting a high-level individual who ?osed a danger both in strength but also politically.
There were at least three fighters who could give him some trouble but in the end he would kill them and get to his target.
But he knew none of them had the Will to fight anymore at their advanced age.
Sengoku the Buddha.
Vice Admiral Tsuru.
And the Admiral issho who he already gaslighted.
Easily the fastest win he had ever gotten to this day.
Winning crocodile over with money doesn't count, Crocs is untrustworthy by design of Oda since he was introduced far too early.
He was already inside the place where Doffy was being held by the time he finished with the previous thought process. That's how fast he was in his elemental state.
“Well well well…Donquixote Doflamingo, fallen so low as to be chained like a Mad Dog. Truly my warning two years ago fell into deaf ears huh, I told you didn't I?” He mock-greeted his chained archenemy by appearing cross legged floating above him from out of nowhere.
The fallen noble face was already full of visible veins by that point, anger and rage, a wrathful visage of a mad tyrant who was being mocked by someone he deemed lesser yet held more power, influence and wealth then he had ever been able to imagine.
“You damned inferio-” before he could manage to spit out whatever profanities he had in mind a lightning hand shoot forward grabbed him by throat and pull him up like he weighed nothing, except for the choking, he did not harm the beaten mongrel in anyway since he had feeling he had still a role to play.
“Hush Dog, hush before I skin you alive and hang it in front of your ancestors grave on Mary Geoise itself. Tell me, fool, how does it feel knowing fate itself ordained your ass-beating?” He goaded, my grip on his neck tightening to the point he could feel the blood pumping under the skin
The only answer he got was the choked gurgles of a mongrel who styled himself as a tyrant.
“Tch, it would be so satisfying killing you right now but it would defeat the purpose of sending a message to your betters.” He scrunched his nose in disgust but released his grip on the neck and allowed gravity to take course once more as the former floating body smashed down like a rock on the ground.
“Tell them their days are numbered, I will destroy them once “He” returns.” He whispered before passing through the sea prism prison bars of where he was being held and began walking away.
He still must put the fear of God into the minions of his enemy after all, little things like this cause Rebellions to happen and whenever he decides to invade a location held by the marines he will have the upper hand in the psychological warfare as fear of him becomes greater the more those fools give him publicity.
“What was that noise?!” An elderly woman's voice demanded from a corner in front of him.
.

[Pov : Marines]
.
.
“Sir! It came from the cell holding Doflamingo!” Brian answered his superior, one of the three legendary marines from the Era of anarchy, where pirates like Roger and whitebeard roamed the seas.
Her name was vice Admiral Tsuru, Great Staff Officer of the Navy and an important figure to all marines who work under her. She provides them with accumulated wisdom of a half century she had gathered and to few she is even a mother-like-figure.
She had come down to check up on her prisoner who she had finally gotten into chains thanks to no small help from the former fleet Admiral and the actions of a pirate brat and his band of lunatics and maniacs.
“My, oh my Where my evening walk brought me across~!” A Voice that no marine desires to hear from distance let alone a few meters away from you spoke from where they were walking to.
Then as if some higher being was fucking with them there was light and they saw the face of their Enemy, tall and broad shoulders and now being even bigger then he was two years ago the Logia user struck an imposing figure even though they were in a elevated position.
The longer they maintained eye contact the more his Invisible Aura pressed down on them with increased strength and ferocity.
“Hmm…color me surprised, I expected at least you to be causing more trouble with the reverie coming up but to find you in my ship's cells is something unexpected.” Tsuru tried to play it off, but he could see her eyes dilating at the mere sight of him, she was shaken and controlling her reactions.
Then the Logia did something even more surprising, he shrugged off and began walking towards them with no fear on his expression.
He did not stop even when they brandished their weapons and instead smiled and put his hands in his pockets and continued through them as if they were no threats at all.
He saw two of his fellow marines swing their swords even as tsuru shouted something yet all he could see was two glowing orbs of blue and then–
…Nothing happened, he was still alive and not missing anything in his body. The logia passed through them like water and completely ignored them. They were no threats to him, not even the vice Admiral could harm him judging by her hand passing through him without hitting anything on the way.
Brian understood it then, there were monsters in the world in human skin and they didn't care enough to act as human, no fear or apprehension in the slightest, no twitch of muscle or dilating eyes to actually recognize their existence.
Nothing, not even the smallest bit of care was given as he lay there in the ground watching him climb the stairs with the same carelessness he showed when he walked through them.
“He didn't even acknowledge us as a threat…to him we are insects.” One of his compatriots vocalized what they were thinking, he truly didn't give a crap if he stepped on them or not to check.
Vice admiral Tsuru seemed of a mind with them, she too was looking at her haki coated hand with a faraway look that spoke a thousand words.
‘There wasn't even a clash of resistance? Is his mastery of Haki so high that he completely negated my attempt without any visible strain? What sort of Monster has this unknown brat become?’ Tsuru thought as she tried to gather herself and give chase to the…
‘Can he even be called a mere Logia with the mastery he had shown? Was this all an elaborate show of strength meant to cause more divisions? No. He already made that clear when he destroyed the HQ of Marineford and then killed the largest giant in history with one attack. He was here for only one reason and that is…’Tsuru came to a conclusion that she feared and turned her back on the Logia and made haste to her prisoner's cell to confirm her fears.
Donquixote Doflamingo must not die or Released at all costs, He was a High priority prisoner and reputation destroyer if he has gone even more insane then he already was.
The world government couldn't risk such threat free reign now that he had lost all his credibility , all that remained as a card for him to gain some affluence back was Information.
Information like Navy secrets, ability Training manuals, marie geoies safe house, noble's vacation Islands and…
That last one is damning evidence of their sins.
She ran faster after remembering that.
.
.
.
O. O. O.
That was disappointing. Tsuru, the supposed dangerous vice admiral that is part of the same generation as Garp, was pathetic.
He walked through them, left himself open and kept only the bare minimum haki active to channel away any subpar attempt to pass through yet even a Veteran couldn't scratch him?
While he had been training rigorously these past two years against different enemies of varied sizes and strengths, these fools he had put in their place had done nothing but grow weak.
He had clashed with titan-beasts he had specially breed and mastered Armament to level where even micro vibration became a weapon, trained by ordering his men- Talented killers and veterans he had handpicked and trained in the six arts and haki, gifted them fruits and abilities to attack him with intent to kill so many times that he had grown used to fighting against mass infantry and grouped monsters with men commanding them.
And he had even done the same training that Garp did by grabbing navy warships and using them as punching bags until they were nothing more than rubble. No haki, no devil fruit ability, nothing but his own natural strength and resilience until his fists stopped bleeding and his bones became as hard as titanium when he tested them against the steel-plated gorilla titan-beast and bested him.
Natural Strength, acquired ability total mastery and Mastery of all three types of Haki to the point he could break people by tapping them.
He climbed the last steps of the stairs and stepped on the deck with a bored expression, he already knew what awaited him as his future sight was always active without any need for him to exert himself to achieve that state of mind.
He had trained himself to be calm in any type of situation.
Fifty marines fired their guns at him, the bullets passed through him without even doing anything, two rear admirals jumped from cabin and came towards him with haki-coated punch and Hammer respectively yet they too passed through him like a ripple in the water and crashed down on the deck where they cracked the wood and fell down with surprised faces.
He stood there just as bored as he had been and stepped forward into the deck again and caught the sword of the admiral with two fingers and stared at him with an eyebrow raised just as the former fleet admiral tried to nail him with a shockwave-infused punch from his left.
He caught his hand too and tightened his grip on the old fart until he felt bone crack and his face twist in pain.
“If I wanted to sink you I could have done it without you knowing yet I did not raise a hand until you attacked.” He stated calmly, eyes for the first time blinking as he turned his gaze on the ashen faced geezer.”You have aged drastically, It seems like your sins have caught up with you Sengoku the Buddha.”
“And you are even more brazen than you were two years ago, Boy.” the geezer retorted without any heat.
“You are running out of steam old man you should have invested on a retirement House instead of imposing unnecessary forced labor on the world just so your masters could have it easier to rape innocent people and steal their resources.” He replied with a straight face as he flung both of them like they weighed nothing into the mast where they crashed and fell down.
“Let me reiterate what I said once more, I came here to gloat and piss off doflamingo because I hate his guts enough to do so. You and your ilk weren't even given the chance for such elaborate thinking, barking lap dogs aren't worth the effort.” He did not care enough for their response as he transformed into a bolt and shot towards the sky leaving behind a light trail of purple plasma.
Sengoku lay there on the ground even after his junior offered him a hand he still did not move, those words cut deep.
‘Which is which…Rosinante, Did I Unknowingly send you to your death?’ Sengoku wondered internally, it may be his age catching up but everything was moving so fast these days and time…
Time did not wait for any Man, and he was a Man out of his time, New generation of pirates kept popping up and they seemed more dangerous. He thought the generation of roger and xebec were monstrous but he could trade blows with them but with these current ones?
Monstrous and Unknown, unpredictable and Resilient. The worst combos in an enemy that had it out for what you have built. Or so you thought but going back a few decades before you became an admiral there were…inconsistent reports, easily dismissible at First but then the inconsistency became worse and there was nothing that could hide the Massacres, the Genocides and the large numbers of slaves located on the Marie Geoies.
And then god valley happened and he got front row seats and first hand accounts from Garp on the horror that would soon become his longtime companion.
Native hunting contests?
Island harvesting?
Whole kingdoms of Slaves?
Demands for specific types of women to be transported to the nobles?
These were the sins he had gotten so used to signing off.
Bustercalls sent to destroy innocent civilians, Cipher pol headhunting and child recruiting for future agents.
Ohara…
”You have aged drastically, It seems like your sins have caught up with you Sengoku the Buddha.” The words echoed in his mind as he drifted off into unconsciousness even as blood ran from his nose.
Later when everything calmed down the doctors aboard found out that their ex-fleet admiral's heart had become weak and was no longer combat-worthy as the danger of a heart attack would rise if he was stressed.
