The show begins.
"All systems are go doctor, you may proceeded." A female spoke. She was a young woman with wild light brown hair. She wears a pink full-body jumpsuit that bears her designation of Punk-02 on the left breast; she also wears a purple coat, purple boots, black gloves, and an earpiece and antenna on her left ear. "Excellent work Lilith the test will begin immediately!" Came the excited voice from the doctor. He was a relatively tall elderly man with slender limbs and red cheeks.
He has a noticeably elongated but neatly sliced head and has a shaft driven in to support a structure resembling the top of an apple-core and its leaf. His forehead is remarkably wide, his tongue is very long, while his eyes are close to his potato nose. He has a bald head on top, but has spiky white hair on the sides, as well as a thick mustache. He wears a short white coat with SSG on the back, a pink shirt with red polka dots, purple pants, and purple DOM shoes.
Well this certainly wasn't what anyone was expecting. "Hey weren't we supposed to be watching some pirates. Why is it showing us some random scientist?" A man turned to his friend who could only shrug. "Maybe he's going to be attacked by the pirates and that's our introduction to them." Was his only guess causing them to watch on in confusion.
And while most of the world was at a lost of who this was, only knowing he was in attendance with them some in the audience knew exactly who the man was.
"Vegapunk huh?" Onigumo grunted as he took a smoke. "This can't be good if we're starting with him." He muttered getting a nod from Momonga. "Indeed he always has been unpredictable and I've always been worried about his loyalty to the government." He admitted before looking over to where the man himself was sitting. "Not to mention that fact it's likely that everyone here is about to learn of his identity and the storm that will bring." He let out a long sigh with a shake of his head.
Not even ten seconds in to this and the trouble was already building.
Meanwhile Vegapunk himself was tilting his head as he tried to figure out what his other was working on. "Any ideas Doctor?" Shaka asked getting shake of the head from Vega Punk. "It's too early to tell and considering we haven't been given a time frame it could be anything." He said with a shrug completely at a loss. York however just shrugged. "Eh what ever it is I'm sure it'll work itself out." She said between mouth fulls of food. "It always does after all." She waved off with the rest of the satiates sighing as they turned their attention back to the screens.
Jewelry Bonney however just growled at seeing him while also stuffing herself with food. 'Murderer!' She thought before glancing sadly towards where the revolutionaries were sitting and could just make out a familiar bear shaped figure sitting in the back with tears threatening to fall.
"Beginning the test now professor!" An incredible tall girl shouted. She had a young appearance with floppy downward ear and a short curly hair that is white on the left and pink on the right. She has a very long curl of hair on each side of her head that runs down to her belly. She appears to have a long, bushy tail on her abdomen. She wears a short pink dress with her number on it as well as a downward-pointing arrow on the front. She also wears pink boots, brown gloves with white sleeves attached.
"Excellent work Atlas make sure to keep your eyes on everyone. Tesla's research was invaluable to getting this to work and I'm not going to squander what he did for us understand?!" The scientist shouted getting a shout back "Yes Doctor Vegapunk!"
"THAT'S VEGAPUNK!" Came the shocked yell from across the stadium as people of science from all over the world finally had a face to put with the name of the best scientist in the world while some who were close enough peered into the section where he was sitting and were watching him like he was an exhibit at a zoo.
One of the most excited to see him however was Franky who was grinning from ear to ear and shaking from excitement, "So that's Vegapunk huh? It's so super to finally see him in the flesh, especially after 2 years of studying his old research notes!" He shouted with stars forming in his eyes. "Oh yeah that's right, you spent the 2 years on Vegapunk's old home island right?" Ussop remembered getting a nod from Franky.
"Yup and it was super! But it looks like it can't compare to what we're seeing now!" He shouted seeing all of high tech machines on the screen causing his shaking to increase especially after spotting him a few sections away. "Man I gotta pick his brain when I get the chance!" Franky declared getting a laugh from Robin.
"That might be more difficult than you think. Almost every scientist in the world and many others want to speak to him and I can only imagine the government workers are going to section him off the instant they have a chance to keep him from being mobbed. Not to mention there's our host who will stop any foul play. You'll have to get pretty creative if you want to get close to him." Robin challenged with Franky grinning not bothered by those facts in the slightest.
Sanji meanwhile smoked in silence before briefly glancing and seeing both his bastard father Judge and that shitty cyborg Queen as well that piss ant Caesar shaking in rage in jealousy at the attention Vegapunk was getting. 'At least something good was coming out of this.' He thought with a smirk.
The 5 elders sighed as the watched their screen but also heard the reactions from the people of the world. "It would appear that we were indeed correct in our decision to remove Vegapunk from then board." Saturn the elder of science rumbled, having been on a ship heading to Egghead before everyone was brought here.
"We might have to change tactics though. The eyes of the world will be on Vegapunk now. Should something happen it's possible it could be lead back to us." Warcury muttered getting grunts from the others who could only growl in frustrated.
"This really is nothing more than a nuisance." Nusjuro growled as they continued to watch the screens.
Vegapunk meanwhile was scratching his chin in thought. "Something wrong Doctor? Edison asked while tilting his head. "Just curious, My other mentioned a name, Tesla I believe. I'm curious just who that is. Because from the sounds of it they had a hand in the experiment currently being worked on." The smartest man in the world explained getting nods from Shaka and Pythagorus having picked up on that as well.
I wouldn't worry I'm sure they'll be shown soon enough." Atlas predicted getting some unsure glances as they went back to watching.
"We will begin now Lilith. Slowly raise the power until the machine is working at maximum efficiency." Vegapunk requested getting a nod from the evil aspect. 'Wish we had the others here with us though.' Lilith thought having wanted to wait for the other satellites to return to work on this. But Vegapunk was insistent on wanting to move forward as quickly as possible.
Vegapunk could feel the dry looks from his satellites on him and could only cough into his hand. "I'm sorry." He muttered even though he wasn't the one who did this. "I promise I won't do it again." He swore getting sighs from his satellites. "Frankly I'm more concerned about who exactly we were being revealed to the pubic." Shaka said knowing that if that little detail got out things were going to get complicated.
"Alright now, let's begin the first test." Vegapunk said as he looked with both hope but also nervousness at what could be one of his crowning jewels.
A teleportation device.
For years he had been trying to succeed in getting this device to work on to be meet with a failure after failure with each attempt. But he couldn't give up and he didn't because of what his success would bring to the world. Getting supplies to war torn countries evacuating citizens from crisis while providing back to marines and government agents that desperately need it. There was no end to the good that could come to the world once he had perfected this technology.
A stunned silence filled the arena as everyone sat in awe at such information. To think such a device could even exist even if it was a different version of their world.
"Now that's a super idea!" Franky said, his eyes shining brighter than ever and a megawatt smile on his face his mind actually trying to start and building one himself.
Vegapunk himself had tears falling down his face. "So it's possible, I can actually accomplish it!" The old scientist bawled not even trying to fight it. Sure it wasn't him-him that was doing it but it was another version of him and considering that the technology surrounding his other didn't look any different from what he used he was sure he could do it too!
"It appears so professor, but keep in mind that we haven't even seen if this worked yet and even if it does this Vegapunk seemed to have had help from this Tesla fellow." Edison reminded him getting a nod from the original. "I'm aware but I have to know if it is possible. And if it is I might just have to go and find this Tesla in our world to get his help on this matter." Vegapunk declared more resolute on this project than he ever was before,
Meanwhile Sengoku felt his headache grow worse as he watched the discussions going on across the stadium. Some were marveling over the idea of a teleportation device while others were nervous about what it could be used for especially if it fell into the wrong hands. And unsurprisingly there were others discussing on how to get their hands on such a device. Either by having one build on of their own or steal one when it was actually invented.
"And I thought it would be hard to keep Vegapunk away from the public before." Garp chuckled with a shake of his head. "After this it's likely the only place he'll be able to work in peace is New Marineford." He laughed getting sighs of annoyance from Tsuru and Sengoku.
"Well it's not like we don't have rooms set aside from things like this, but with the lack of space he's used to it might hamper and set his work back." The former fleet admiral muttered. "Less than a minute in and we're already going to deal with more problems than we've had since the war." Tsuru spoke her tone filled with annoyance.
Kong through out all of this was silent. As the commander and chief he knew what the elders had planned for Vegapunk and that there was no point in planning for his future projects. Still it's not like he could say anything, especially if it meant giving Garp and Sengoku the last push they need to quiet the marines for good.
The machine whirled to life and as a low hum started to grow in tone and volume hope began to bloom in Vegapunk's heart. "Come on, you have to work." He muttered as he quickly pulled levers before typing commands on the keyboard. "Power levels stable." Atlas remarked her eyes unblinking as she read all the charts and instruments looking for any sighs of trouble. "Test subjects are ready for transport as well." Lilith said as she used the monitoring to keep sight with what they would be trying to move which was a simple tool box.
"A tool box?" A little girl with a tilt of her head getting a nod from her father. "Of course honey. This way Dr. Vegapunk can check for any problems with out hurting anyone." He explained getting a smile and nod from the girl showing she understood.
"Alright than." Vegapunk said sweat dropping down his massive forehead as he finished punching in commands. "Is everyone ready?" He asked the two satellites who nodded. "Well." he said with one final gulp. "Let the experiment begin."
Everyone in the stadium held their breathe. Either wanting to see such a landmark moment succeed or for the more greedy to see if it's pozsslibe so they can steal it for themselves later. "You've got this Vegapunk." Franky muttered as she watched the man on the screen finish his preparations and begin the experiment.
An emerald green light shot high into the sky from the top of Punk Records. "All symstems stable on this end." Atlas said. Second transporter ready." She announced getting a nod from Vegapunk as he quickly turned on the second one. Like the first an emerald light shot high into the sky.
"Any Changes Lilith?" Vegapunk questioned towards the evil aspect who furrowed her brows. "Nothing yet sir." She muttered as she kept her eyes unblinking on the tool box which so far showed no changes. 'Come on, come on." She thought frustrated.
'Please. Please. Please.' Vegapunk thoughts his hands clasped together in prayer with his hands interlocked. 'Please let it work!' He cried mentally.
After a few seconds however her eyes lit up. Vegapunk come quick! You'll want to see this!" Lilith squealed with excitement as the man rushed over as fast as his legs could carry him. "Is something happening?!" He asked with excitement coursing through him. Lilith just turned to him with a smile that he was sure matched his own. "just take a look for yourself sir." She invented as Vegapunk looked towards the monitor.
As did most of the audience with some even leaning forward to try and get a better look,
The monitor showed the tool box slowly breaking down into the same green energy that was being launched into the sky before nothing remained and a couple of seconds later the machine in the room they were currently in started to rattle as something started to materialize in it's chamber.
And after a few seconds of the 3 holding their breathe before their very eyes the tool box appeared completely in tact.
The stadium erupted into cheers and shouts at praise at the success of the experiment. "SUPER!" Franky roared doing his signature pose while Ussop, Chopper, Brook and Luffy went stary eyes (Or would if Brook had eyes.) and let out a shout of "AWESOME!"
"Incredible." Law muttered in awe at seeing such a such a feat accomplished with Corazon smirking besides him as he lit up a cigarette. However it turned to a frown when he heard a snicker from the section next to him. "Something you want to say Eustess?" He questioned with Kid smirking. "Not really just that well" Here his smirk grew wider. "If the old man keeps this up that fancy little power of yours will be rendered obsolete." He finished with a chuckle.
Law's brow twitched with annoyance but managed a smirk. "That's funny coming from you considering I can buy a smaller scale version of your powers at a convince store." Law shot back getting a twitch from Kid as the two glared at each other with Corazon now laughing fully as their crews tried to stop them from fighting.
Vegapunk meanwhile was jumping around like a mad man. "It works! It really works!" He cried clapping and babbling without a care how it looks a sentient shared by his satellites. However Shaka and Lilith had their eyes narrowed as they saw the likes of Queen, Judge and Caesar were glaring darkly at the large headed man.
The two shared a quick glance and nodded. While they were pretty sure their host would stop anything from happening it never hurt to stay cautious.
With the 5 elders Garling hummed. "Despite what you think, one must admit that was impressive." The crescent haired man muttered before turning his head. "Wouldn't you say so sirs?" He questioned. "I will say that was quite the feat and one that I'm sure given time our own Vegapunk could accomplish as well. Saturn sighed at such a loss. "But it's too late now. His death was sealed the moment he started researching the void century." He muttered getting firm nods from the others.
It would be a heavy loss but a needed one if it meant preventing that accursed time from being researched.
"It...worked." Vegapunk muttered as if a trance before he threw his hands up high and shouted to the heavens. "It really works!" He cried seeing the experiment actually be a success! "Congratulations Dr.Vegapunk." Atlas cheered rapidly clapping her hands. "I knew all those hours of research would pay off!" She exclaimed getting a happy nod of agreement from the scientist.
"So why isn't it turning off?"
At the sudden question the two turned and saw Lilth at the counsel, a frustrated look on her face as she tried to get the deceive to deactivate only for each command to be denied. "Damn it, at this rate all of Egghead is going to go dark!" She hissed as Vegapunk himself ran over to try and get the machines to go dark.
This development took some of the cheer and excitement out of the audience as they turned to each other unsure. "So something did go wrong?" A marine asked a little disappointed that it wasn't a complete success while his friend shrugged. "Well from the sounds of it this was a first attempt. Seems like a pretty good one all things considered his friend responded with a shrug.
Edison meanwhile turned to his creator. "Any ideas sir?" He questioned while Vegapunk rubbed his chin in thought. "A few but considering I never made it this far myself it's impossible to tell for sure."
"Uhh Professor you might want to have a look at this!" Atlas said having tried to monitor the beams only to notice what could only be described as a crack suddenly appeared in the sky.
"Well that's not good." A resident of Egghead gulped nervously, not wanting to see himself or his loved ones in danger.
This was a sentient shared by most of Egghead and along with most of the world. Considering that while it may be closest to Egghead, a crack appearing in the sky can't be good for anyone.
Seeing this the 3 raced up to the top of the building and could only watch in growing horror as the cracks seemed to grow and grow more pronounced with a dark purple glow coming from the cracks.
"What should we do sir?!" Atlas pleaded completely at a loss as more and more citizens were coming out to see what was going on.
"THOSE POOR PEOPLE! I CAN'T IMANGE WHAT THEY'RE THINKING OR FEELING RIGHT NOW!" Tile stone shouted as Paulie grunted as he took a deep puff of his cigar. "Probably something similar to what the people of Water 7 thought during the first Aqua Laguna." He guessed with many from the city of water grimaced at what that must have been like.
Vegapunk watched the sky for several seconds with sweat rolling down his face before his face became resolute. "Shut down all power to the island immediately. I don't know exactly why the transporters aren't responding to commands but they'll be harmless once all powers is cut and we can dismantle them."
This would of course mean that Egghead would be without power for at least a few hours but considering that his mistake seemed to be be breaking apart the sky it seemed to be the right call to make.
"A wise decision, a reckless one but wise." Dragon muttered seeing his the wisdom in his friend's line of thinking despite the risk that come with it.
"Of course Professor." Lilith said taking out the deceive needed for such an act.
To shut down power on Egghead all of the satellites along with Vegapunk himself needed to put in each of their own security codes to completely the shut down in the event an invader arrives and manages to take a satellite or Vegapunk himself hostage.
Atlas and Vegapunk each took out their own devices and to their relief they could see the other satellites already in the process of putting in their own security codes. "Well I'll be damned. Even that slob York managed to get her ass up for this. Color me surprised." Lilith muttered underneath her breathe.
York turned to glare at Lilith who only raised an eyebrow. "Tell me I'm wrong, go ahead and prove me wrong." She challenged while the taller woman just growled in annoyance but could only cross her arms.
After placing in their security codes and a few tense sections the entire island went dark and the beams of energy slowly faded. However Vegapunk's eyes didn't leave the sky as his eyes kept on the cracks until finally to their immense relief the cracks started to fade.
As one the stadium breathed out a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness. It's over." Chopper muttered slumping over in relief getting a nod from the rest of his crew. "Honestly I was worrying the sky was actually about to fall." Nami complained as Robin smiled as she tilted her head. "Do you think something could have emerged from the cracks? Like some other worldly being?" She asked sounding genially curious.
"Don't stay something like that Robin!" Ussop shouted getting a humph from Zoro. "Even if something did I'm sure we could handle it." He shrugged not that bothered by that idea.
"NOT HELPING ZORO!"
"Right now, get in contact with the other satellites and tell them to get some of the vital buildings power back as quickly as possible." Vegapunk ordered. It would still get take an hour or two for the power to come back but this way the vital buildings such as the hospitals and labs containing fragile and delicate experiments would be restored as soon as possible.
Atlas gave a salute before running off to try and get the information to the other satellites. "Lilith head to the other transporter and scrap it. I don't care what you have to do just make sure it doesn't turn on again once the power comes back on. I'll mange the one here." Vegapunk ordered getting a nod from the evil aspect.
"Well that's the end of that." Vice admiral Strawberry muttered glad that the world even if it wasn't their own wasn't any in more danger at the moment.
"But than why was it shown?" Momonga questioned his eyes narrowed at the screen. "We are watching 'The Einjerhar Pirates'." Momonga reminded them. "So why is this being shown if it doesn't have anything to do with that group?" He questioned getting unsure looks from the rest of the vice admirals.
However before she could leave something caught Lilith's eyes that. "Vegapunk! Look!" She shouted as one of the cracks seemed to glow brighter and brighter before something seemed to burst from the cracks and sail through the air in an emerald arc just as the last of the cracks disappeared.
Jaw dropped at seeing that and nerves were at an all time high. "Holly shit what was that?!" A random pirate screamed his nerves at an all time high. "No idea but I'm sure as hell glad it's in that world and not in ours!" His captain grunted getting nods from the rest of the crew who were in complete agreement.
"So something did come out of the cracks." Robin marveled her eyes full of wonder along with most of the other crew with some notable exceptions.
"Robin why'd you have to say something?!" Nami cried while absently pushing away a love struck Sanji and his vows of to protect her from any shitty aliens." Luffy meanwhile was brimming with excitement. "Guys we gotta find that alien and get him to join our crew!" Luffy shouted. "Yohoho an alien would fit right in with our merry band!" Brook laughed and Franky nodded. "Yeah bro! Getting an alien on board would be awesome!" He laughed while downing some Cola.
"Hate to break it to you but there's a couple of problems with that plan of yours." Robin told them with a smile causing Luffy to pout as he turned to the archeologist. "Aww what's wrong with it?" The rubber man whined getting a laugh from Robin. "Well for one this isn't our world so it's impossible to the alien to join us." She pointed out the biggest flaw in her captain's plan.
Luffy went silent for a few seconds before his face lit up. "Well than they can join the me of that world!" He answered with a nod as if it was settled. Robin did give a nod. "That could work but unfortunately given what we're watching is called 'The Einherjar Pirates' I believe the alien will be involved with that crew." Robin told her captain.
The straw hat wearing man blinked several times before crossing his arms and pouting childishly as he sat down like a child. "They better be awesome." He muttered before whispering under his breathe about stupid alien crew member stealing jerks.
Robin could only giggle at her captain.
Vegapunk and his 2 satellites watched as the object sail through the sky until it disappeared over the horizon. "What was that?" Atlas muttered in awe as Lilith typed away on her device. "No idea but what ever it is it's heading straight towards the North Blue."
At this many residents of the North Blue tense up slightly not sure if they want an alien in their home sea or not.
"Captain." Bepo muttered concerned along with Penguin and Shachi while Law glanced towards them. "I wouldn't worry. While it's not impossible I doubt it that what ever it is will effect Swallow Island." The surgeon of death tried to reassure his cremates.
Meanwhile Bellamy grunted with a frown. 'The north blue huh?' He thought as his new boss nudged him in the side. "Thinking about your hometown huh?" He asked causing the spring man to nod. His bad feeling only grew worse when he over heard his former crew wondering if it would hit their home town of Notice and finally have something interesting happen there.
'As if my life wasn't complicated enough recently." He groaned in his head.
The emerald streak soon faded leaving Vegapunks to stand and wonder just what did they bring into this world.
"Hopefully nothing scary." Chopper hoped with Nami and Ussop in complete agreement.
Line break.
The screen now showed 3 marine warships sailing through the seas as a small storm raged around them with a standard transport ship sailing bit behind them. However it was clear that each of the warships had quite noticeable damage done to each of them.
At once all marines and government officials were on high alert. "What the hell happened?" Tsuru questioned, eyes narrowed dangerously as she saw the ships sailing through her home sea. Garp snorted. "it's obvious what happened. The question is just who could have caused such damage to those ships outside the grandline?" Garp muttered trying to think of any enemies capable of doing that.
One the ships themselves it showed many marines battered in bruise and covered in various amounts of medical equipment. "What a disaster." Momoga thought his head wrapped in bandages and his arm in a sling. He's a man with a black mohawk and a mustache. He wears the standard marine uniform, consisting of a purple and white pinstripe suit with a coat draped over his shoulders, like . Underneath his coat lies a dark blue shirt and a light blue tie. He is of relatively tall height and very well-built. He carries around his weapon of choice, a katana, either attached to his right hip or on his shoulder.
"To think we went at them with the force of a buster and they managed to 7 of our ships by themselves." He muttered before reaching for his sword only to pull out out a handle with a broken blade to which he scowled and threw it away in disgust.
"What did I just say?!" Momoga shouted standing right up in his seat uncaring that he was now in screen. "He said that you charged in with a buster call and lost seven of your ships." Doll muttered in complete disbelief. "But who could possibly be capable of something like that? One of the Yonko maybe but the north blue doesn't really hold any relevance to any of them." Vice admiral Lonz rationalized. "It could be a warlord but only a couple of them could be capable of that and out of the ones that are Doflamingo is the only one with ties in the north." Comil tried to think of any possible options.
As this was going on various discussions were going on either by citizens who didn't know what the buster call was to those such as those from Ohara who did know and were shocked that someone could withstand to that degree.
None more so than Nico Robin who after being haunted by it for over 20 years and having lived through it twice was shaking at the thought that someone could fight against it instead of just running from it, "Robin?" Nami asked looking concerned for her friend. Robin managed to get a grip and after a deep breathe managed a small shaky smile. "I'm fine Nami. It's just when ever the buster call is involved I-." She trialed off and Nami and Chopper hugged to confront her.
"It's not like it anything to be ashamed of." Zoro sighed causing his crew to look towards him. The Buster Call is a monstrously, one that I doubt even now we could face without getting out unscathed. The fact the you fear it is not something you need to feel bad about."
"He's right Robin. I get terrified when ever I think about it. I can't image what you must have felt having gone through it when you were 8." Nami reassured her releasing her from her hug. This opening the flood gates for the rest of the crew from the calm and composed Brook and Jimbei to the overly affectionate Sanji, each reassuring her in their own way.
Robin could feel tears start to fall which she quickly wiped way. Truly grateful for the friends in her life.
Meanwhile Kizaru was scratching his chin. "Well by the looks of Momoga and a few other recognizable faces I say it can't be more than a couple of years ago from around the time Strawhat became active." The light man guessed with Sakazuki grunting as he kept his eyes locked on the screen.
"I'm more troubled who we fought rather than the damage they caused. Vice admiral Doberman spoke with bitterness while beside him Vice Admiral Dalmatian scowled and clutched his fist in anger. Doberman has four X-shaped scars on his face and two on his neck, a split, curling mustache and brown flowing hair, reaching down to his shoulders. He has no pupil in his left eye.
His Marine coat, draped on his shoulders like a cape, is more elaborate than the ones worn by other high-ranking officers, and the stripes across his cap are in a zig-zag pattern. Underneath his coat he sports an outfit composed of a loose shirt with rope-like ornaments on it and suit pants.
Dalmatian meanwhile with his powers always active takes the form of a muscular, bipedal dalmatian-human hybrid. The top part of his head from his nose up and his arms and legs are that of a dalmatian: a white dog with black spots all over the body. He also has a long tail. However, the bottom half of his face is human just like most of Zoan users, and he has a blonde-white beard on a wide chin. His torso and neck also seem to remain human. He has yet to be seen in his default human or full dalmatian forms.
Like all other vice admirals and other high ranking officers, he wears a double breasted suit, dress shirt, and a tie, with a Marine jacket draped loosely over his shoulders like a cape. His suit, in particular, is dark green in color. He wears a light red shirt underneath, with a darker red tie.
Both were injured however neither showed signs of injuries as severe as Momoga's.
"The sting of betrayal is a harsh wound." Dalmatian muttered his voice mixed with anger and sadness, a feeling shared by his fellow vice admirals.
As for the marines watching their eyes went wide as their hearts grew heavy. Betrayal? It wasn't some pirate or other infamous outlaw but one of their own that attacked them and sunk 7 of their ships as well as killing who knows how many friends and comrades?
And with that came another horrible thought. Just who in the marines was cable of something like that?
More than a few eyes went to the sections that housed the old guard of Sengoku, Garp and Tsuru while others went to he box holding the admirals. A few even looked over to the Blackbeard section were Kuzan was sitting and drinking with out a care in the world.
All marines and government officials grimaced. Regardless of who it was they knew they weren't going to like the answer.
Unlike the pirates who were hooting and hollering while congratulating who ever it was one a good try and wished them better look on their next attempt.
"But unfortunately I can't say it was unexecuted." Vice Admiral Yamakaji interjected as he was being pushed to them in a wheelchair by a nurse. Yamakaji is a tall and broad-chested man. He has a slightly wrinkled face, a round nose with prominent nostrils, thick lips, and a wide, round chin. He has brown buzz cut-styled hair which connects to a thick beard that covers his entire chin.
He is always seen with his eyes closed and with a cigar in his mouth. He is also often seen with a cheerful smile. He wears a dark brown double-breasted suit with a black tie underneath, all over a yellow dress shirt with a red polka dot pattern. He also wears brown pants and brown shoes. Like most high-ranking officers, he drapes his standard Marine coat over his shoulders like a cape. He also wears a standard Marine cap.
Yamakaji seeing his on screen self in such a state couldn't help but grimace, hoping that the injury wasn't permanent. Meanwhile others picked up on the whole 'Cant say it was unexpected thing.' wondering just what he meant by that.
Momonga let out a sigh. "When I heard what the celestial dragons were up to I told Fleet Admiral Sengoku I wanted no part in it." He told the other vice admirals who grunted in agreement. "But if I knew the exact details I would have done everything I could to try and stop it. Especially after everything Admiral Leonidas had done for us."
"ADMIRIAL?!" Was the shout coming from around the stadium at the fact that it was indeed an admiral who was responsible and an unknown one at that.
"Leondias?" Nami questioned towards Jimbei, Brook and Robin. "Have any of you ever heard of him?" She asked knowing that if any of the straw hats would have heard of him it would be one of those 3. Sadly all of them shock their heads. The furthest Robin and Jimbei had heard was Admiral Zephyr.
Brook could recall the names of the admirals form when he was sailing with Yorki but he had never heard of one named Leonidas.
"Well on the bright side at least our others won't have to deal with him in the future." Zoro gave a shrug of indifference towards the act while mentally giving the man a round of applause for both having gone against the celestial dragons and turning his back on the world government.
Meanwhile those that had once been enslaved by the celestial dragons were in awe at the fact that one of their greatest defenders while mentally praying that he killed as many of them as possible before he was captured. None more so than the Gorgon sisters.
"So what do you think pushed the man to snap?" Fuijtora questioned with Kizaru and Akainu grunting not having any idea but Ryokugyo just snorted. "What ever it was he must have been a disgrace pissing off the Celestial Dragons." He spat in disgust getting looks of annoyance from the light and maga men.
Kizaru while viewing himself as a cog in the machine knew each man had their limits and when push comes to shove a job is just a job.
Akainu himself while silent wasn't exactly condemning this Leonidas. "He absolutely despised all evil and when he enlisted in the marines resolved himself to destroy and eradicate all the evils in the world.
However as he raised in the ranks and learned of the celestial dragons he knew that was truly impossible. And while his rise to the rank of Admiral and than Fleet Admiral while his power and influence increased so did the chains that held him
So to hear that the actions caused an admiral albeit one that he didn't know to snap didn't surprise him in the slightest.
"One top of him, Vice Admiral Brunhilde and Vice Admiral Geirölul went rouge with him." Doberman reminded them with a grimace. "Though that's not that surprising. Given that Geirölul was Leonidas's student while both Leonidas and Brunhilde has always shown their hatred for the Celestial Dragons openly." Dalmatian added on.
"So we have two new vice admirals gone traitor too." Smoker grunted his arms crossed as he bit his cigar so hard he was afraid it might brake.
"Well like the Dalmatian of that world said one was this Leonidas's student while the other shared and was openly showing their hatred towards the Celestial Dragon. Though I'm not sure how they did that and got away with it so long." Doll muttered with a hint of envy in her voice at the thought of getting away with it.
"Uh excuse me sir's." A meek female voice spoke up hesitantly as the 4 men turned to see a new comer hesitantly approach.
"Another new face." Momonga muttered as he studied the girl. "She's probably a new recruit given her uniform." He guessed given that she was wearing a cabin girl uniform. Trying to get some humor going to ease the tension Vice Admiral Gion spoke. "You know I can't help but feel pity for that poor girl, getting put into the care of one of your four." She told the 4 vice admiral before shaking her head. "Poor girl never had a chance."
This managed to get a few snickers and laughs from the rest of the vice admirals and even the four cracked the smiles though it was clear Doberman was trying to keep his off his face. "Give us some credit Gion. I'm sure our others will prove fine teachers for her." Yamakaji tried to smile and managed to succeed somewhat, though it was still strained from seeing himself wheelchair bound.
"Guess we'll have to wait and see than." Doll challenged with a smirk.
"Yes Göll, what dod you need?" Dalmatian asked seeing their newest recruit walk up to them "Sorry to bug you sirs! I was just wondering about the prisoners! I've heard rumors for sure about Adam- Former Admiral Leonidas but nothing concrete and next to nothing about the other two. And I'd appreciate a little information of you can sirs." She requested with the 4 looking at each other before looking back at the cabin girl who squirmed under their combined gaze.
"Come on tell her and by exception us!" A civilian shouted wanting answers about these renegade former high ranking marines. "Yeah! First the alien and now this! We need answers damn it!" Another one cried.
And while the marines and government officials were silent each and every one of them were in agreement with the people. From the newest recruits to Kong himself each wanted to know just who these 3 were.
With a resigned sigh Momonga nodded. "Very well young one." He said as Göll leaned forward eagerly to hear this.
As did the audience who wanted to get some answers already.
"To begin Leonidas comes from a country that is not allied with the world government. It's known as Sparta and the whole island is basically one giant city." Momoga began his explanation. "Wait so how did he end up joining the marines?" Göll asked getting a small smirk from Dalmatian. "It's all thanks to Vice Admiral Garp. He was near Sparta when it was fighting off some invading pirates and intervened. Admiral Leondias was so impressed and inspired that he immediately enlisted and was taken by Garp as his personal student."
Garp hearing this swelled with pride at the fact that the other him both in spired and trained a man who would become an admiral. 'Just like Kuzan.' A part of him whispered causing Garp to instantly from at the reminder of one of his failures. A brief glance towards the Blackbeard section he easy spotted Kuzan sitting out from but the man was clearly not looking at him.
"It's not your fault." The sudden admission from Sengoku honestly startled the old hero who turned and and saw his old friend giving him a sad smile. "You did your best with Kuzan and I'm sure your other did your best with Leonidas. But those two picked their own paths and are simply walking them the best they could." Garp still looked unsure causing Tsuru to scoff.
"Would you cut the pity party crap. It's pathetic, especially considering you haven't lost all of your students just yet." She said pointing to where Coby and Helmeppo were sitting.
"So how about you reattach your balls and start looking towards the future?" Tsuru asked causing Garp's eyes to go wide before he leaned back and let out a mighty laugh which left for a few seconds before he managed to calm down.
"Thanks Tsuru." He said he said once he got his laughter under control. "I think I needed to hear that." He told the woman who merely huffed. "Any time you old money, any time."
Göll's eyes lit up in awe. "Really, Vice Admiral Garp?!" The cabin girl shouted, having never heard of the hero of the marines taking a student. Yamakiji nodded. "It's true and from the rumors I heard it was nothing short of utter hell for Admiral Leondias. Running drills until he passed out on his feet, using our retired battleships as their sandbags. I think I even heard about Garp tying his legs together and throwing him into a ravine and Leonidas having to climb out with just the strength of his arms." The wheelchair bound vice admiral managed a smirk.
"And through it all, Admiral Leonidas never complained just kept grinning madly and in defiance as his strength and experience grew more and more."
Once more Garp smiled and pride as he crossed his arms and gave a proud nod while besides him Senkgoku sighed and facepalmed while Tsuru snorted and muttered "Something's never change." Which didn't bother him in the slightest. However not everyone felt the same.
Across the stadium pirates, marines and civilians were shuddering at the mere idea of such brutal training. "What the hell? What kind of human is capable of surviving something like that?" A civilian questioned getting a shrug from his wife. "Who knows. Maybe he's not human at all, like a fishman or something like that." She suggested.
"Damn do you Captain Coby has to go through training similar training?" A marine commodore questioned getting a hum from a fellow commodore. "Maybe. I saw both him and lieutenant commander Helmeppo when they first arrived at Marineford. Training such as that might explain such rabid and noticeable growth." He muttered deep in thought.
Meanwhile the pirates were shaking in their seats as sweat trickled down their faces. "Hey, hey you don't think that the rest of the marines over here go through training like that do you?" Eboshi, the captain of the Jellyfish captains asked from where he was sitting with various other pirate crews. The question was directed towards the captain of the Long Long Pirates who shock his head.
"Not a chance, just check out the other marines." He muttered and after seeing that the marines from new recruits to even rear admirals turn a little pale at the thought of the training Eboshi had to agree.
However the ones that had experienced Garp's training first hand are affected the worst. "The old man's even worst other in that world." Ace hissed a mix of horror and outrage coming to his face much to his crew mates amusement.
Luffy meanwhile was shaking. "If I wasn't absolutely sure about being a pirate before, this just cements it further." Luffy muttered under his breathe while with the revolutionaries Sabo couldn't help he got off easily having only been trained by Garp for a bit.
Coby and Helmeppo were the worst however as the blond turned to his pink haired friend. "Hey, hey Coby you don't think that Garp's going to make us go through training like that do you?" All he got was a smile that seemed to be frozen on his face. "I think we better just prepare for the worst Helmeppo." He warned which didn't help in the slightest.
Göll was shaking and a little pale at hearing this. "Well that seems a bit overkill." She managed to squeak out while shaking slightly.
Cue most of the audience nodding in agreement.
"That maybe true but it did help him rise in the ranks until at the age of 22 he had reached the rank of Vice Admiral. Making him the youngest in history." Dalmatian continued on a note of pride in his voice at the accomplishment.
This caused many of the audience to gasp with a few of the marines actually giving a a round of applause for such an accomplishment.
Doberman however gave a frown as he took the next bit. "However his rise to fame came 25 years. During the Battle of Edd War."
Now this got a lot of people's attention. Most noticeably the Golden Lion pirates and his allies and the Roger pirates that were scattered around the arena. Roger just grinned wonder what this mysterious new admiral brought into the battle.
"Battle of Edd War?" Göll repeated having never heard of that before. Momonga nodded. "Edd refers to a sea in the new world, and one where the Golden Lion Pirates were supposed to have a meeting with the Roger pirates." Momonga revealed getting a gasp of shock from Göll who had never heard of that event.
As did most of the audience who were muttering amongst each other and the reporters who were among the audience were writing down notes to try and find information on this battle once they leave.
The government officials were groaning as they could just feel their work pile up once they got out of here.
"However that meeting never happened" Yamakiji told the girl. "For some reason or another Roger never showed." He muttered as he glanced towards the sea.
Shiki narrowed his eyes while hearing this, trying to think of any thing that could cause Roger to miss that meeting for. Meanwhile Rayleigh turned to his old captain who could only shrug having no idea what could have kept him from meeting Shiki.
"However at the time when he was a Vice Admiral Leonidas decided to take advantage of the situation and being stationed close by at the time. So going against orders Leonidas stole a ship and sailed out alone to meet the Golden Lion and his armada." Momonga took over again as the scene changed from the 4 vice admirals and shore girl to an image of pirate ships surrounding a marine transport ship.
Many in the audience gulped at the image as it jogged memories of just how powerful the Golden Lion pirates used to be.
"Honestly none of us thought we were ever going to see him again. Such a student was nothing short of suicide." Momonga exclaimed as it cut back to them with Göll gulping in fright. "So what happened? Obviously Admiral Leonidas survived but how exactly was he able to get away or something?" She questioned and Dalmatian actually snorted. "Get away? Admiral Leonidas doesn't know the meaning of retreat." He laughed before shaking his head. "No that truth is even more unbelievable." He told her before straightening up with pride as did the rest vice captain.
"He won."
Dead silence covered the stadium. Did they actually hear that right? Almost everyone had at least heard of the Golden Lion Pirates so to hear such was completely laughable.
The scene changed again to the battle again as a figure was seen jumping into their and on to an enemy ship casing a massive explosion and the ship to sink. Pirates were yelling and charging while the others were firing guns as the figure charged charged forward as more explosions followed.
"The battle was long and brutal but evnetually it all came down to Shiki and Leonidas." It now showed a young looking Shiki and the figure still hidden but could only be Leondias standing across from each other before charging forward. Shiki raised is swords but Leonidas managed to dodge before kicking Shiki away who only stumbled slightly before charging again.
"By the end of it both were near death but eventually."The figure Leondias who was clutching a wound managed to straightened up managed change froward, his fist raised high while Shiki charged to meet him the final result was the two blades going straight through the Vice Admiral.
Terrified gasp rang through the arena at seining such a brutal hit while some of the pirates cheered at seeing the injury dealt to the marine. Luffy himself gulped as me absently rubbed the part of his chest that had been impaled by Crocodile while Squard flinched in guilt and horror as it forced him to remember what he did to Whitebeard.
Shiki himself allowed himself to smirk in satisfaction at dealing such a blow despite knowing what the outcome was going to be.
"All though he was on death's door and had blood pooling out of his body." Leonidas's assault didn't stop as he rammed his fist into Shiki's face a mighty crack being heard before the pirate was launched back and slamming into his destroyed ship the steering wheel which and been laying harmlessly on the ground implanted itself into his head.
"Leonidas emerged victorious."
Cheers rang through out the stadium at the navy victory and as did many of the marines while the older generations smirked in pride at seeing such a legendary pirate being taken down by one of their own.
Shiki himself meanwhile was grimacing both at the defeat and the way he got the little addition to his head which thankfully had been removed from his head.
"So Shiki was taken down here huh." Garp he grunted before glancing over towards Sengoku. "Think we can avoid an attack on Marineford?" He asked getting a hum from the former fleet admiral. "Possibly, the only. reason he did it was because he became obsessed with Roger because of this very battle. With him being captured here Shiki it's more appropriate to say he can't if he's taken to Impel Down." The Buddha reasoned only to groan. "At least until he breaks out."
Garo could only let out a humph as he smirked a little. "Guess they aren't going to get off easy either when it comes to Shiki either." to which the other 3 could only grunt in agreement.
"Holly crap! One marine managed to take out the entirety of the Golden Lions!" Ussop shouted shaking in fear at the very idea of fighting such a foe while remembering what happened when they faced the crew 2 years ago.
"So it was like when Hawkeye sunk the Krieg Pirates." Sanji muttered recalling his meeting with Gin and the armored pirate and how his armada was sunk. Nami however just tsk'ed. "I don't think it's fair to compare a thug like Kreig to a pirate like Shiki." She muttered recalling her own experience with the ancient pirate.
"Admiral Leonidas destroyed an entire fleet?!" Göll shouted in total awe at such an accomplishment. Doberman nodded. "Indeed though don't misunderstand. He was mere inches from death's door and spent a month unconscious after days of ongoing surgeries." Doberman explained not wanting the girl to be under the impression it was an easy fight.
"It was also due to the fact that he was able to awaken his devil fruit and advance his Haki during the fight. I have no doubt that had that not happened Leonidas would have fallen in during that battle." Momonga further explained with Göll tilting her head at the part of devil fruit awakening and Haki part and made a note to ask later.
As did many of the audience who had never heard of such terms and made plans to research it later.
"Wow so Admiral Leonidas was the one who put shiki away for good?" She marveled and missed the troubled looks from the vice admirals.
Seeing the looks those that knew the truth about Shiki inwardly scowled knowing that this world will probably have to deal with Shiki in the future as well.
"It was after this event that earned Leonidas the rank of Admiral and for the last quarter of a century inspired countless marines who were inspired by Admiral Leonidas, the black ram and his rebellious justice." Dalmatian finished with a smirk of pride on his face as he spoke of his friend and fellow marine.
The marines in the audience couldn't help and showed their support and gratitude in their own way either by giving a round of applause while the more spirited ones stood up to salute the soldier.
"As for Vice Admiral's Brunhilde and Geirölul. Their stories are more simple. Geirölul joined Leonidas and quickly rose through the ranks until she was his right hand woman. She and Leonidas are similar in so many ways both filled with pride and quick to anger when ever they're looked down on." Momonga shuddered at the memory of some of her rampages.
"However what they had the most in common was their choice of weapons. Leonidas was almost always seen with a shield and spear while Geirölul went into combat with 2 spears." Dalmatian explained as it showed a woman hidden in shadows a deranged smile on her face as she held two spears. "She was known the bloody spear."
More than a few pirates and outlaws gulped down their nervousness at the idea of fighting such a woman.
"Oh my darling Geirölul, you must dance around the battle field like the finest of dancers!" Sanji said going into luck struck mode getting annoyed looks from his crew-mates and Zoro even started developing twitching vein in his head as he grew more and more annoyed.
"As for Brunhilde she was found and taken in by Vice Admiral Tsuru when she was a child."
Quiet muttering rang through the area as both Tsuru and her granddaughter Kujaku straighten up having suddenly grown more interested in this.
"Raised along with Rear Admiral Kujaku she proved herself to be a natural born strategist having been taught by the woman herself that and her devil fruit has gained her the tittle of The Valkyrie" Yamakaji explained as a another woman hidden in shadows where shown her back to the screen but her head turned just enough for everyone to see her confident smirk.
"Oh Lady Brunhilde please take me to-!" Suddenly Sanji went silent despite the fact that his mouth was still running a million miles a minute. "Yeah I wasn't going to deal with that for this entire viewing." The straw hats turned and saw Cam sitting there. "Once he stops whatever that is, his voice will return. But he'll go silent when ever he goes into simp mode as I call it." He explained getting nods from the rest of the Straw Hats.
"Is there a way to keep him like this when we go back?" Zoro asked as he watched the cook noddle dance before turning around. "Please?" He asked with desperation shining in his eye. Cam was silent for a few seconds before answering with an "I'll see what I can do." Before vanishing leaving a hopeful swordsman.
Kujaku meanwhile was grinning as she leaned forward. "So grandma took in stay in this world?" She asked with a giggle. "Guess that means I got a sister over there." She laughed easily ignoring the fact that said sister is now a criminal.
Tsuru herself was unable to though as he frowned as it seems the other her failed in a certain regard. "It's not your fault Tsuru." She turned with a raised eyebrow towards Garp. "You're other did the best she could, but this Brunhilde has her own path to walk and she can only walk it the best she can." Garp told her causing Tsuru to stare at him for several seconds before cracking a small smile.
"Throwing my own words back at me huh?" She questioned getting a laugh from Garp. "More or less but you can't say that they don't fit." She challenged any Tsuru had to agree.
After their explanation Göll was in complete awe. 'To think the marines had people so amazing in their ranks!' She thought with her respect of the 3 growing and growing.
Something that was happening with the most of the audience and especially the new recruits who only just joined were more inspired than ever to grow stronger to protect their homes and loved ones.
"So what happened?" Göll couldn't help but question. "Why did such amazing marines throw away everything by going up against the celestial dragons?" She like everyone in the world hated the celestial dragons and the cruelty they showed to the world and like many wished she could do something to take them down once and for all.
Almost as one the audience especially those personally effected by them nodded as one while those the revolutionaries, the straw hats and other Yonko felt immense satisfaction knowing full well they now had the power and influence to accomplish something like that.
The four vice admirals gave each other unsure glances as they noticed that by now many of the other marines were listening in to the conversation. Deciding it was to just bite the bullet Dalmatian decided to answer.
'Finally!.' Was the general consensus from the audience wanting some answers though many were starting to grow bored and wanted to see some action.
"The celestial dragons were planning on starting something that hasn't been held in nearly 36 years. One that they tried to start again 20 years ago but due to a certain incident was called off due to another incident." Göll could only blink in confusion at such the vague answers.
As did the audience as many tried to piece together what the incident once. However there are many in the audience who were making the connections. "36 years ago. That would be 38 years to day." Ivankov muttered darkly. "And an incident that involved the celestial dragons." He muttered his tone growing more and more grim as he turned to an alive again Ginny and now restored Kuma.
"Didn't they say Leo boy's home wasn't affiliated with the world government?" The queen of the new Kama's asked. "He sure did big bro." Ginny muttered while taking glances every few seconds towards one of group of pirates in particular before glancing back towards Kuma. "When these doors open you and I are going straight to see Bonney, even if I have to drag you got it?" She asked getting a started look from Kuma. "WHAT?!" He asked only to flinch back at Ginney's glare.
"Is there a problem?" She asked causing Kuma to quickly shake his head. "NO, but it's just that there's going to be so much going on I'm not sure we'll be able to get any privacy to-." "I can give you 3 a private room." Cam interrupted suddenly popping into the room startling everyone but Ginny recovered quickly. "Did you hear that Kumaichi, Camichi here is doing us a favor isn't that great?!" She quested while slapping the host on the back.
Kuma gave a nod while Cam shrugged. "It's no big deal. You all deserve to have this meeting." Cam said before disappearing as the rest of the revolutionaries were congratulating the 2. All except Dragon who kept his eyes locked on the spot the being that brought them here once stood.
"Okay but what was that event?" Göll asked and Momonga opened his mouth to answer when something caught his attention. "What is that?!" He asked questioned as he turned and saw an emerald streak hurtling through the sky right towards them.
"The alien!" Many in the audience shouted having forgotten about that and were now freaking out as they were heading towards the marine ships. The ones freaking out the most were the ones who caught a glimpse of themselves on ships and were no in danger.
Many of the soldiers started to panic shouting about bracing for impact while trying to finding the best place to hunker down frustrating the vice admirals "Compose yourselves!" Doberman roared so everyone could hear him. "Stop running around like children and prepare for battle! I don't know what that thing is but if it proves to be hostile I want it taken down immediately!" He roared as many of the soldiers looked incredibly nervous but gulped as they went to their proper battle stations.
Doberman in the audience nodded as he saw his onscreen self take command and while the other marines were worried for their others they knew they had a job to do.
"You two, get Yamakuji somewhere safe!" Momoga ordered to which he quickly protested. "Who do you think you are Momoga?! I'm not so weak I'll let something like this stop me!" He shouted in defiance with Momonga glaring back. "Do not argue, you are in no condition to fight right now and would only be a hindrance to us!" He told the cigar smoker before looking towards him pleadingly. "Please. We've already lost Chaton during this operation, I don't want to lose another friend." The man pleaded towards the injured vice admiral.
A sharp intake of breath ran through both the marines and civilians as Chaton himself took a drag of his cigarette. "Well that explains where the 5th Vice Admiral was." He muttered offhandedly as if he hadn't just learned of his own other's passing. This naturally got raised eyebrows from those around him. "You seemed to be taking the news of your other's demise rather well." Gion noted getting a helpless shrug from Chanton.
"It's not me-me for one and also it's better when I don't have to see it myself." He explained. "Besides in this line of work you need to kinda of prepared for something like this." He explained before taking another drag as he turned his attention back to screen.
"He speaks the truth Yamakuji, but at the same time that goes for you as well Momonga." Doberman informed the mustached man. "Your arms broken and your without your weapon. You'd be a liability right now and one we don't need." He spoke his eyes never leaving the thing hurtling towards them.
Momonga grunted but nodded as he started towards the interior of the ship while Göll took hold of Yamakuji's wheelchair and wheeled him in after the mustached man.
With that both remaining vice admirals were able to give their full attention to the projectile. "So what is it were dealing with exactly do you think?" Dalmatian asked raising his hands to fight as the object was getting closer and closer until the entire area was covered in a emerald green glow. "Not sure." Doberman asked as he raised his sword. "But we need to be on guard no matter what it is."
And wit that the Object slammed straight into the deck of the center deck. "At the ready!" Doberman shouted as the marines drew their swords and prepared their guns. As the smoke covered what ever it was that had just crash landed.
The audience was at the edge of their seat. Most were nervous about what they were about to see while some where excited to see what the alien would look like while a couple of paranoid individuals were already prepping their anti-alien gear in an attempt to defend themselves.
As the smoke started to clear they could already make out a humanoid form through the smoke and they appeared to holding something. "Identify yourself!" Doberman demanded again as the marines readied their swords and guns. The response they get however was a pressure slamming down on them knocking many of the marines unconscious as green lightning seemed to emit for their form.
'HAKI!' Both vice admirals thought sweating under the pressure as the smoke finally started to clear.
'So that's Haki!' Many of the audience thought in wonder as they wanted to know more and more than a few wanted to learn it for themselves. However more of critical thinkers were thinking of other things. If this 'alien' is cable of using Haki does that mean it's actually someone from their world and if so were exactly?
As the smoke cleared the figure could finally be seen. He was a heavily built and muscular young man with green spiky hair and emerald green eyes. In one hand was a mighty looking axe.
In his other hand however was what drew much more attention which was a severed head of a man with Snow White hair, red eyes and dry and wrinkled skin.
Children all over the stadium screamed and began to cry as their parents covered their eyes and attempt to sooth them while the marines and pirates were examining the man more closely. "A broad axe huh?" Zoro muttered while examining the weapon and seeing the blood drip from it. Clearly having been used recently.
"So do you think he's going to be friend or foe?" Doll said looking the young man up and down to try and evaluate him. "Had I not known the title of what we're watching I would like to say it's possible he could side with us, but given what it is I fear his role is a forgone conclusion." Stainless muttered with regret.
"Wrorororo. He looks strong!" Kaido grinned at seeing the Haki radiating off him. "I wonder if he can put up a good fight." The commander of the beast pirates grinned hoping for the chance to see his other going up against him should he prove himself strong.
Seeing the head in the hand of the stranger caused the marines to tense up even more as they began to shake though the vice admirals kept their cool as they watched the man look around his eyes going wide while muttering under his breathe and when he caught sight of Doberman and Dalmatian, a look of pure disbelief hit his face.
"Vice Admiral Dalmatian and Doberman?" He muttered in disbelief causing the two to briefly glance at each other.
"So he's heard of them." Robin muttered whiles brought out a notebook to keep notes in as the mystery just kept getting deeper and deeper.
"Indeed now identify yourself." Doberman ordered causing the stranger to sigh and open his mouth, however before he could start a message came over the den den sushi. "Attention all ships in the area. Be on the look out for an unidentified object hurtling through the sky. It is to be secured and brought to navy headquarters. Use any amount of force required to bring it in." The message called and suddenly the entire ship went silent as the marines and stranger just stared at each other.
As did the entire of the arena as almost everyone even the civilians knew what was going to happened and everyone's thoughts were unknowingly summarized by Garp who slammed his forehead in exasperation and grounded out "God damnit."
Dalmatian just looked to the stranger with pity in his eyes but still got into a fighting stance. "Well you heard him. You're to come with us to Marine ford. Luckily we were heading there any way." He told the stranger as Doberman raised his sword. "So will you come with us peacefully or will you force us to use force?" Doberman questioned.
"What a wonderful sit of options." Kid muttered bored and hoping to see some carnage soon.
The young man just sighed. "Damn marines." Before absently tossing the head lazily towards Doberman who knocked it aside only for the stranger to appear inches away from him and slamming his fist into face sending him flying off the ship and crashing into the battle ship that was sailing beside them.
"Take him out!" Jesus Burgress laughed as he, the rest of the Blackbeard pirates and many other pirates cheered on the stranger's attack on the vice admiral while the vice admiral himself grimaced at the sight of him flying. "Well what ever happens I can't say I blame the stranger." Stainless muttered knowing that while marines have to follow orders he doubted anyone would be willing to come in willing given the situation.
Dalmatian charged forward with a roar as he swiped wildly at him only to dodge each one before blocking with his axe. The stranger than delivered a kick to Dalmatian's legs forcing him down before backhanding him away.
The dog zoan user winced as he rubbed the cheek that had been hit.
"Capture him!" A marine captain ordered as marines each charged forward or shot at him. The stranger ducked and waved around the bullets effortlessly and as they were reloading the marines with bladed weapons charged at him from all sides and even some from the air.
"Alright we got em now!" A marine who saw himself in the charge cheered along with the other marines.
The stranger just glanced around bored before twitching his hand. The marines felt something impact their weapons before each and every one of them were cut to pieces.
"Or not." The same marine squeaked not pale at seeing such a sight while others were curious just what kind of power caused that.
The marines on the ship shouted in fear as they dropped the remains of their weapons and scrambled back. "Devil fruit powers!" The same caption shouted as each of the marines moved to get some distance while two of the cannons were all aiming at him now.
"Stand down now or be fired upon!" A marine ordered though it was clear he was nervous. The stranger raised his hand as if surrendering before once again flicking his fingers and a moment later the cannons were destroyed. "Damn it what is that power?!" Dalmatian shouted as he and Doberman had recovered by now and were once again charging towards the stranger. As for the green haired man He hurled his weapon towards them but the two vice admirals dodged it easy.
"He's mocking us now." Dalmatian growled at the perceived insult.
Doberman and Dalmatian went in for another attack which the stranger dodged by twisting his body back. However than he extended his arm and opened his hand. There was a whirling sound and to their disbelief the axe sailed back into his hands. The two men's eyes widened at the sight but that turned to be a mistake as the stinger used the moment to twist back up right slashing Dalmatian clear across the chest as well as Doberman, slicing apart the scared man's sword.
Dead silence covered the arena as everyone tired to process what just happened. "Did..did he just?" A pirate muttered his tone filled with disbelief as almost everyone was eyeing Blackbeard who was gaping in disbelief at what he just saw. "Only one who can do huh?" Shiryu asked recalling how the traitorous captain bragged about the only person in the world who could use two devil fruits.
Blackbeard leveled at glare at his titanic captain. "Shut the hell up! There's no proof that was a devil fruit! We saw him falling out of the sky!" Blackbeard reminded him as he pointed towards he screen. "And for all we know that was some special feature of that fancy axe of his rather than another devil fruit!" The duel fruit user challenged.
And as much everyone hated it they had to admit Teach did have a point. They didn't have to enough information right now to judge the situation fully.
Seeing the action as well as the vice admirals drop caused shouts of panic to ring out all over the ship! "Damn it what do we do now?!" One of the captains demanded frantically only to get slapped by a rear admiral. "Pull yourself together man and look at him!" He ordered as they look to the invader who was breathing heavy. "It's clear he's still exhausted from what ever fight he just came from." He noted as he saw state the young man was in and grimaced slightly at severed head laying in the corner.
"He's right." Dalmatian said as he shakily stood up while clutching his chest as Doberman managed to stand up straight and draw his pistol. "We just have to push him enough until exhaustion puts him out of commission." Doberman planned his eyes shining with resolve.
"Not the worst plan, but still a little two risky for my liking." Vice Admiral Komei commented getting a growl from Doberman, "I'd like to see you do better in the heat of the moment." He challenged as Komei glanced towards him. "I'm not saying I could do better. I'm just saying there's two many variables for a plan such as that to work at the moment."
Dalmatian was in complete agreement. "Prepare to engage!" He ordered getting cheers from the marines as more of the cannons were now aimed directly at the young man who could only sigh. "Really stepped in it this time." He muttered before looking at the cannons that were ready to fire resulting in the stranger to shake his head. "Can't be helped I guess."
"And fire!" A marine over the loud speaker ordered as cannon balls flew through the air on both sides with marines watching this in hope it'll be enough to finish the fate.
"A nice thought but a naive one I'm afraid." Borsalino drawled along with Issho whose sight had been returned to him for the viewing.
The cannon balls seemed to be moving in slow motion as they approach whose only response was to roll his eyes. "Good grief." Was all he said before going into horse stance and throwing a punch with each fist resulting in cracks in the air to appear on either side of him.
It was as if the entire realm came to a stand still as jaws dropped in complete and utter horror. "That's-that's-that's..."A marine who had seen himself on the screen stammered in absolute horror as he was sure that he was about to watch himself die.
"The Tremor-Tremor Fruit!" Blackbeard shrieked in absolute horror at seeing his plan in that world go up in flames.
"As if we don't have enough to worry about from this monster!" Akainu growled as he watched the impossible of seeing this alien seemingly use not one, not two but 3 different devil fruits! And one of the most dangerous ones there is!.
Robin was writing a mile a minute as she didn't want to miss a thing while Law was tapping his finger on his head in thought on how to take down such a threat should it reveal itself in their world.
Whitebeard hummed as he took downed another bottle of rum. "Interesting." The former yonko muttered before noticing the uneasy looks on the faces of all his sons. "Something wrong boys?" He asked. Marco hesitantly approached him. "Pops he has your fruit. Don't you understand the implications of that?" He demanded getting a snort from the legendary pirate.
"Don't talk to your father like that brat. I damn well know what that means but it's not like it matters." Whitebeard muttered. "It has nothing to do with us so it really shouldn't matter. Besides we're pirates. It's plunder or be plundered. If he was able to best me and take my power well that's the way it went." He noted before taking another swig.
"And we don't even know if I had the Tremor-Tremor Fruit in this world. We already know there was another admiral that doesn't exist in this world, who's to say I didn't get another fruit. Hell I might not even be an emperor in that world." The Whitebeard pirates gasped at this as if the thought never occurred to them.
"The point is we don't know what occurred in this world and even if we did it's not like there's anything we can do." He muttered before gesturing to the screen. "So all I can say is that we sit back, relax and enjoy this brief time we have together before we're forced apart." The captain told his crew.
Each and every one of the whiteboard pirates shared a glance and although parting again pulled at their heart strings managed to stay strong and give their father a nod causing him to smile with pride.
The shock waves tore through the ship and impacted the cannon balls sending them flying back towards the cannon with the cannons going up in flames. The marines screamed in horror as they tried to put out the flames as Dalmatian actually dropped to his ass in shock. "That..that was the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!" He shouted in full panic mode. "But that's Whitebeard's fruit! How does this brat have it?!"
Hearing this all of Whitebeard's crew and his allies collectively breathed out a sigh of relief. Both at the fact he still has the power and is still alive.
"I have no idea but it looks like we got our chance!" Doberman shouted seeing the stranger drop to his knees. Dalmatian and Doberman took their chance and after Haki'ing up their limbs before slamming their first into the young man's chest bringing him down. The stranger's version went blurry as he glanced towards the two vice admirals even as his vision begin to fade.
"Fun's over brat!" Dalmatian roared and with one final kick knocked the kid unconscious as the screen faded to black.
Many of the marines broke out into cheers seeing the vice admirals win but said vice admirals couldn't help but feel hollow. Their opponent was clearly someone that didn't want to be there and every action was clearly a reaction to what ever move they made.
It also hurt their pride that their opponent was clearly exhausted and still gave them as hard of a time as he did.
But what was eating them the worst was what they knew was coming next. This young man would clearly see the navy as his enemy and if he managed to escape would no doubt seek revenge against those that wronged him.
"What ever comes next." Dalmatian started. "Is on us." Doberman finished with a grunt knowing fill well that what comes next definitely won't be easy to watch. 'That and who ever ordered his capture in the first place.' They thought in unison, hoping it's revealed so they can deliver a punch to face for putting them in the mess in the first place.
When the scene came back it showed the stranger laying in the brig of the battleship, his arms and legs chained to the wall. The stranger grunted as he regained consciousness. Slowly he sat up as he rubbed his head. "Where am I?" He questioned as he looked around. "Last thing I remember was finishing off Shigaraki and than there was this light and than..." He trailed off before his eyes widened as he recalled what happened after the sudden light that hit him faded.
"Izuku." He groaned. "You have really stepped in it this time." The now name Izuku grunted as he scraped the back of his head in annoyance.
"Not exactly the reaction one would expect when they find themselves in prisoned." Jabara chuckled as he gulped down some booze. Rob Lucci spared the wolf zoan a glance. "One would think that by now anyone with a functioning brain would realize this isn't a normal situation." Lucci spoke getting an eye twitch from the wolf zoan who wanted to shout at the damn cat but he had already turned his attention back to the screen.
Others meanwhile were writing down this newest bit of information. "So his name is Izuku.' Was the general thought among them.
Izuku turned his head to see the sun just over the horizon. "So it's either sunset or sun rise." He muttered before his stomach grumbled. "From the sounds of it, sunrise." He muttered before shaking his head. 'I can worry about food later. There's more important than food right now.
"Lies!/Blasphemous!" Luffy and Bonney both shouted at the down play of food's importance. The straw hats were concerned thought Sanji did get a little twitchy at the prospect of hungry young man in front of him.
Izuku closed his eyes as he activated his Haki. 'There's two more warships out there and a ton of more marines.' He thought with a frown. 'This is going to make things difficult.' Izuku thought before his eyes drifted towards the 5 marines that were guarding his cell.
"Samson, Patrick, Abe, Jonathan, Marcus." He greeted the 5 marines who stiffened up at them being called by name. "Q-Quiet criminal!" Marcus shouted holding up his gun. "Those are sea prison stone cuffs you're wearing! There's no escaping for you!" Marcus declared trying to put on a confident smirk only for it to die as Izuku to chuckle.
"Well just be careful with that gun. We don't want that bum leg of yours to give out thanks to the recoil." The boy told the marine who began to shake as his he grew more and more rattled.
As the marines in the audience. "How does he know about that?!" Marcus yelped. "It's bad enough he already knows our names! But how the hell does he know about my leg?!" He demanded his cries getting and more desperately as he looked towards the screen. "Just who the hell is this guy?!" He demanded falling out of his chair and asked the question everyone wanted to know.
"I said quiet!" Marcus screamed his hands started to tremble. However before he could make another move, a loud laugh came from the cell to Izuku's right surprising everyone including Izuku. "How the hell did I know sense him?!' Izuku roared in his head.
"Hey captain, doesn't that sound like" Ben Beckman muttered towards Shanks who spared his vice captain a glance.
"Observation Killer?" Shanks muttered before looking back at the screen. "Could be but it's a little too early to tell."
"What's the matter Marcy? Don't tell me you're pissing yourself because a kid knows your name and about your condition." He laughed as Marcus went red with embarrassment and the other marines looked at each other unsure. Izuku however was in shock. 'The voice. I don't recognize it at all!'
'And why would that be an issue young man?' Vice admiral Jonathan thought while brushing his mustache with his fingers as the questions in his mind just kept piling up. Meanwhile with the admirals Kizaru hummed. "So do you think that's him? Former Admiral Leonidas?" The light man questioned. "Most likely." Issho muttered. 'Now let's see what kind of person you are.' He thought as he glanced towards the screen.
Izuku didn't have time to process this however as the man seemingly turned his attention. "Hey boy, what's your name?" He asked and Izuku after a moment of hesitation answered. "Izuku Midoriya." He told the stranger. "Ah nice name, you can call me Leonidas!" He introduced himself with Izuku gasping. 'Leonidas like the king of Sparta Leonidas?!' He thought before shaking his head. 'No can't be, probably just a giant coincidence.' He tired to rationalize.
'Don't think that's the case.' Robin thought while she wrote down in her notes
Leonidas-> Former King?
"Any Izuku what's your story, how'd you end up as a resident on this fine ship of ours?" He asked with Izuku thinking it over before glancing towards the marines who were listening intently.
"I was fighting in a war." Izuku began his tale. "For the last year and half I was enrolled in a school where I was training to be a soldier for my country." Not the complete truth but one that would do for now. "The war was brief but it completely destroyed our country and it was lead by the man whose head I was holding and his army of living corpses." Izuku explained as the marines shivered at the reveal while Leonidas clicked in disgust.
"Living corpses?" Chopper muttered his tone filled with disgust and dread as he recalled what happened on Thriller Bark 2 years ago and what he discovered about the zombies there.
Robin noticed the reindeer shaking and scooped down to comfort the doctor. "It's alright. I'm sure Izuku and the others helped lay them to rest." She tried to reassure the reindeer who managed a shaky nod though there was still tears in his eyes.
However not everyone was disturbed this as doctor Hogback laughed. "My my. It seems I'm not the only one interested in examining the deceased. Perhaps we can see them action if given the chance." He wondered hoping to see how these other zombies compared to his.
"When I finally killed the bastard I thought it was done, only for some light to shine upon me. Next thing I know I'm here fighting for my life and chained to the wall." Izuku finished getting a laugh from Leonidas.
"Not bad kid, not bad at all." He told him getting a shrug from the green haired teen. "What about you? How'd you end up here?" Izuku questioned. "Not much to tell actually. I was a marine and I was proud of it. Than the celestial dragons forced me to make a choice, "My career or my home. I choose my home and I stand by it." Leonidas declared getting a nod from Izuku, the respect for the man growing.
As were many of the spectators, their respect for the former admiral reaching an all time high with many not knowing if they had to determination or the courage to make the same choice he did.
"So what's your plan kid? I mean things are looking pretty grim right now but should you get the chance what do you plan to do?" Leonidas asked and that left Izuku stuck. 'What can I do? It's not like I can just fly or warp home.' He thought a little helplessly as the reality of the situation began to sink in.
'But why thought?' Sengoku thought. 'You seem to have multiple powers that would make traveling the world quite easily. So why can't he return home?' The buddha thought, his bad feeling growing worse and worse.
Absently Izuku turned his head towards the marines watching him. 'Poor bastards.' He thought, 'They have no idea what's about to happen, and they look like they're right around the ages they were when-.' Eyes wide Izuku bolted straight up and turned frantically towards the marines who flinched back at the sudden moment.
"The date! What's today's date?!" Izuku asked them causing them to look at each other. "Why do you-""Just tell me damn it!" Izuku ordered causing them to scream. "It's May 5!" They screamed in unison.
"Hey!" Luffy cheered. "That's my birthday!" He laughed. "That sure is funny!" The rubber man laughed.
"And the year?" Izuku asked with Marcus quickly giving that out as well.
"Huh, that was only two years ago." Nami noted before blinking. "Hey wait a minute, that means this is the same day your leaving to start your own crew right Luffy?" She questioned causing Luffy to grin and give a nod. "Well how about that?" Zoro smirked. "looks like ours won't be the only crew that starts today."
Izuku sat there thinking. 'If that really is the date than I might have my way home.' Izuku thought as his mind started going a million miles a minute as an image flashed through his mind.
'The grail.'
"Grail?' Was the general muttering through the stadium many were becoming frustrated with all the questions piling up with little to answers coming in return.
There were some however who knew exactly what Izuku was talking about. "So he knows about the grail." Raleigh muttered as he poured himself another drink as Roger laughed. "The lad just keeps getting more and more interesting, And besides going home isn't such a bad use of it.
"It's a couple years too early for it to be used but if I can get to it." Izuku muttered before grunting in resignation. 'But it's my best option right now.' Izuku thought before letting letting out a sigh. "Would you believe me if I said I was going to go after the One Piece?" Izuku asked getting a hum from Leonidas. "So you're going to become a pirate?" He asked a little tensely.
Izuku grunted. "I was thinking more of a bounty hunter/ treasure hunter thing, but let's face it the second the discover I'm after the One Piece the government's gonna slap the pirate label on me. Though it's not like it's gonna matter once I break out of here." Izuku admitted getting a laugh from Leonidas as the marines started to sweat more.
"He's gotta a point there." Garp muttered while munching on some crackers. Tsuru and Sengoku meanwhile more more focused on the other information. "He makes it sound like he could break out at any time." Tsuru muttered. "I'm more interested in what this grail has to do with the One Piece." Sengoku voiced his concern. "Maybe the grail is part of the of the One Piece." Garp theorized causing Sengoku to growl. "Than how would he know that?!" He demanded only to get a shrug in return.
"Y-You're not going anywhere!" Jonathan tried to be brave said only getting a bored look from Izuku as Leonidas asked his next question. "So who are you gonna target during this little of hunt of yours? You're going to need a top notch crew if you want to survive the new world and gather the One Piece, and anyone worth their weight isn't going to be cheap. So what's the plan to make money?" Leondias asked and Izuku could hear the warning in his voice. There was more to this question than first appeared and it all depended on how Izuku answers.
The pirates in the audience had been nodding along with what Leonidas had said fully agreeing that to become the pirate king one needed nothing less then the best for their crew. Everyone than leaned forward both curious and worried to how Izuku would answer.
This also included Roger who watched the young man intently. "Well greenhorn, let's see what kind of man you are." He muttered as he watched the screen unblinking.
Izuku humphed as he leaned against the wall. "I've got three groups that I'm willing to attack," Izuku said as he held up 3 fingers even though the older man couldn't see it. "First is obviously other pirates. They choose to go out to sea for a life of riches and thus putting themselves at risk for those riches to be plundered as well. 2nd are marines that are stupid enough to attack us. I don't plan to go after the brave men and women who choose to protect the world but that doesn't mean I won't take advantage if they try and capture us.
and the 3rd well that's reserved for the celestial dragons. Those piece of septic shit don't give a shit about anyone and it's time some starts tearing them down from their thrones! 'Esspically that one!' Izuku inwardly scowled as an image popped on to the screen.
CLANCK
Saturn's cane dropped to the ground in shock as did Nusjuro's sword but neither made a move to retrieve them "Lord Imu" Mars muttered faintly and in disbelief. "He's been exposed for the world to see." Warcury muttered sounding close to hysterics at the turn of events. "And listen to them. Peter growled as the rulers of the world were already shouting and standing, demanding who had dared sit on the Empty Throne while the reporters were scrubbing frantically in their note books.
Nusjuro was massaging his head. "There are two many witnesses to silence them all and even if we could that itself would draw attention to the rest of the world!: He growled before sighing. "But luckily for us, nothing more than lord Imu's outline was shown. Hopefully that will be it and we can just wash it way as another celestial dragon forgetting their station and sitting upon it."
"The most pressing question is how this child!" Saturn spat the last word as if it was poison. "Could possibly now about Lord Imu." He thundered getting nods from the other elders. "Do not worry your excellencies I'm sure it will be revealed soon enough." Garling tried to sooth them to no avail.
"So that's the mysterious ruler you told us about Sabo." Dragon muttered getting a nod from his chief of staff.. "Yeah it is and their power is no joke either." He muttered rubbing the part of where he had been pierced. "Still I want to know where the kid is getting all his information from." The Flame-Flame user muttered getting a nod from Dragon. "As do I. Hopefully my other will learn about him soon and arrange a meeting.
Meanwhile with the pirates there was a spilt among them about the newest pirates choice of pray. Many scoffed his choices not understanding why he would go after targets could fight back instead of ones that could be easily conquered such like civilians.. Big Mom and Kaido were the biggest supporters of this mind set.
However there were those that did approve of this. Those that believed that pirates shouldn't attack civilians and should focus more on adventuring. Whitebeard, Shanks and Luffy were the most prominent in this way of thinking.
"Ha ha ha! I knew this kid was great! Oh I can't wait to see the chaos he stirs up!" Roger laughed before bouncing around like a child much to his vice captains amusement.
Leonidas went silent for a few seconds before speaking next. "So you don't plan to attack civvies?" Leonidas questioned wanting to make absolutely sure. "Of corse I don't. There's no reason too attack anyone other than those 3 groups." Izuku confirmed before giving a second thought. "Well them croupt rulers and government officials but I don't really think they count." Izuku told the older man who let out a laugh. "Can't say that I do either!"
"Yeah they don't really fall into the civvies umbrella." Garp sit absently while picking his nose with Sengoku turning to him with a glare. "Now is not the time!" He roared before turning back to the screen causing Garp to grunt.
"Yeah, we gotta see Leonidas join the kid's crew after all." Garp muttered with Sengoku's head snapping towards him with a gaze that could melt iron. "What?" Garp shrugged. "It's obvious where this was going." Garp defended himself causing Sengoku to sigh. "That doesn't make things easier Garp. Especially since it's an Admiral of all people becoming a pirate." Kong pointed out while trying not to glance towards the Blackbeard pirates.
Garp just rolled his eyes. "Oh and I'm sure he had such a bright future ahead of him being executed, turned into slave or being tortured in Impel Down." The fist muttered before going back to the screens.
"Well than kid, what's our escape plan?" Leonidas asked causing Izuku to blink. "Our?" Izuku asked with Leonidas giving an unseen nod. "Yup, I've decided I'm joining your crew as the vice captain!" Leonidas declared causing Izuku to blink in surprise while the marines let out a terrified "EEEEEEEHHHHH??!"
As did most of the audience as almost everyone was floored by the fact that a navy admiral had just joined a newly formed pirate crew.
"Is he serious?!"
"What kind of bullshit is this?!
"Why are all these admirals joining pirate crews?!
As most of the audience were freaking out a few weren't as expected. "Well you can't really argue with that." Luffy nodded seeing the perfect logic behind what Leonidas had just said. 'Of course he wouldn't see anything wrong with that.' His crew sighed with varying moments ranging rom amusement to annoyance.
Garp meanwhile was munching on some crackers with an annoyed look on his face. "Listen to those brats. Why are they freaking out over such an obvious out come?" He muttered only for Sengoku to snap. "Because it's not obvious you idiot!" He roared getting a shrug from his friend. "Whatever." He muttered before suddenly his eyes went wide and he burst out laughter.
"What could you possibly be laughing about now?" Tsuru questioned with Garp managing to get himself under control. "The brat's reaction when he finds out just high ranking his new crew member was in the marines! It's going to be hilarious!" He continued to laugh with the other 3 sighing in annoyance.
Meanwhile those such as Kaido, Big Mom, Shanks, Whitebeard and Blackbeard narrowed their eyes wondering how this new crew would play into everything as well as just what that grail has to do with Izuku's wish. 'Kinda wish I had asked the captain more about the One Piece now' Shanks thought with slight annoyance, wishing he had more information/
Buggy meanwhile was praying to any deity he could think of that he never run into the already monster filled crew.
"So you're joining my crew?" Izuku asked. "Yup! And I'm pretty sure I can convince the other two prisoners in this little trip of ours as well." Leonidas said with certainly.
"Yeah because we didn't have enough trouble already." Tsuru muttered and felt a small pain in her chest at the idea of having to watch a student even one from another world as a pirate.
"That right?" Izuku asked before he grinned. "Well than let's get on with it." Izuku said as he opened up the his hand. A few seconds later there was a commotion a few floors below and the 5 marines looked around nervously. Seconds later the axe Izuku had earlier broke through the floor causing the 5 marines to scream as they turned their attention to it. This turned out to be a mistake as Izuku took the chance to stand and rush towards them, phasing through his sea prison cuffs.
Eyes went wide seeing this, How did he-!?
The marines turned back just in time for Izuku to slam into 3 of them sending them flying before grabbing the other 2 and slamming their heads together and knocking them unconscious. "The hell was that? Did you just break? I thought they had you in sea prison cuffs." Leonidas muttered getting a chuckle from Izuku. "Just because I have devil fruit powers doesn't mean I'm affected by the sea."
"YES IT DOES!" The majority of the audience roared, completely done with all the mysteries surrounding this fucking kid.
"Whatever you say!" Leonidas grinned. "Not stop pussyfooting around and get me out of here!" He barked with Izuku quickly rushing over to the next cell and phasing through the bars allowing him to get his first glimpse of his new vice captain.
Many in the audience gulped. "He certainly looks crazy enough to be your protege." Tsuru told the fist with Garp grinning proudly and giving her a thumbs up. Meanwhile Kizaru, Kuzan, Akainu and Issho kept their eyes on the screen. Curious as to just how this new admiral with his rebellious justice fought.
As Izuku approached him he created a set of keys. "So you sure you want to do this, becoming the very thing you used to hunt?" Izuku asked as he undead the man's restraInt. "Yeah not like I've got much of a future with these guys anyway." Leo said getting a nod from Izuku. "Well than." Izuku Midoriya, newly made pirate captain." Izuku introduced himself with Leonidas grinning. "Leonidas of Sparta, former admiral and newly made vice captain." He introduced himself and Izuku felt his eyes go wide and he had to stop himself from openly gaping.
"Boo, boring reaction." Garp complained only to get hit by food childishly thrown by Sengoku who wanted to shut the hero up.
Still Izuku managed to snap out of his funk and extend his hand to help Leo up which the man happily took. However when he did so a green energy covered their hands before shooting up Leonidas's arm. "The hell was that?!" Izuku questioned as Leo shrugged. "Probably nothing. Might be our powers, might be something with Haki. We'll deal with it later if we have to/" He waved it off getting a nod from Izuku.
Not everyone was so quick to dismiss it as many of those taking notes flipped to a new page.
"Well than what do you say we get this prison break started and raise some hell?" Izuku offered with Leonidas grinning a savage grin. "I say lead the way boss."
Many of the marines and marine officials gulped especially those that had seen themselves on the ship while many civilians were also nervous, not trusting what he said about not attack civilians.
The pirates thought were grinning from ear to ear and why wouldn't they?
This is where the fun begins.
To be continued
And that's the first proper reaction chapter. I hope everyone enjoyed it. And I'll say this gong forward. When a scene is dialogue heavy I'll be throwing in a lot of dialogue from the audience. However when we're in a fight scene I'm going to try and keep the reactions down.
I've also got a few side stories started to build and hopefully it'll pay off.
And yes I got rid of Sanji's stupid love sick mode. I hate it, it's annoying and I don't want to write it.
Also for the Ussop fans in the audience, Just going to say he's going to take more than a few hits in this story and I'm not sorry in the slightest.
As for the story itself. To no one's surprise the Leonidas fan boy is starting the crew with Leonidas and trust me the crew will be built fast at first considering how many characters they are, but I am trying to make it so not everyone has a devil fruit.
As for the green light. It's not something everyone will like but it has to do with what I'm going to go with for Izuku's epithet and you understand next chapter. But just so you know it's not gonna affect everyone on the crew.
As for the crew. The crew is either going to have 3 or 4 non ROR characters in it. 3 are definitely in and I still have to decide about the 4th.
Oh and Izuku's axe isn't the same axe. It was made in the MHA world and will be explained later.
As for a pairing. I don't know maybe some of the girls on the crew. Not sure.
My next update is something long overdue.
Will that's it for now.
Till next time,
Bye.
