CRAACK!
A punch with a fist on the table immediately caused it to crack, with various papers and reports scattering from it the next moment.
"Those damn pirates!" Atop the table was a man with a cigar clenched in his teeth, displaying an extremely irritated face. His gaze was fixed on the newspaper he had just removed his fist from. He immediately felt a sharp pain in his nonexistent arm, as he read once again that word he so hated, as if it were a new curse.
The officer standing in front of the fleet admiral, Akainu, trembled slightly with the action, and when the superior's gaze, blazing with fury, turned to him, it immediately made a sailor shudder and swallow dry, since Akainu was known for killing all the sailors who disobey and fail miserably, with no second chance for this superior.
"Speak," he said in a dangerous tone, being frustrated.
"Sir, we have received reports from Dressrosa. The country is in chaos, because years ago, it was enslaved by Doflamingo when he arrived. The user of the Hobi Hobi no Mi was a crew member of the late Doflamingo." He spoke as Akainu raised an eyebrow, but the sailor continued.
There are names of sailors that we found strange in recent years appearing in the reports while no one even remembered them... we always found that strange, until we had numerous reports of people calling HQ saying they had a relative or friend within the navy who disappeared for years... Including our own sailors began to remember their old companions! Now, after what happened in Dressrosa, we received those same long-lost sailors, saying they were trapped for a long time living as a toy and working forcibly!" The officer gave his report.
"Damn pirates... all a plague, even those hired by the government!" Akainu exclaimed.
"What should we do... whether we like it or not, these pirates ended up saving the country..." The officer murmured as he immediately froze, while the room got hot the next moment.
"What do you mean by that?" Akainu roared as his powers began to manifest. "Do you want me to say that a pirate saved the country? That the navy should thank the Straw Hats? The same ones who appeared at the old HQ over a year ago, and devastated all of Marineford in the war against Whitebeard?! You want to make him a hero?" He said each word as his arm began to turn red with his lava almost manifesting.
"No, sir, of course not," the man said fearfully as he sweated trying to move away as fast as possible from there. He couldn't even make an excuse after his words.
Akainu, despite his anger, did nothing more than scoff. "Just because one scum killed another scum, it does not make them not scum... remember that. And if you haven't noticed, it is very likely that Dressrosa will fall into the hands of another pirate... Now you may leave this room, and stay alert for new orders, after all we can't leave Dressrosa like this." He said in the end.
"I hadn't thought of it that way, fleet admiral, I'm going!" He said quickly as he left the place.
"You wouldn't kill him just for making a silly suggestion, right?" A new voice emerged while there was a man sitting there the whole time watching the sailor leave.
"The navy is for the strong and those who follow absolute justice, there is no place for the weak." Akainu growled before looking at this person, who was leaning on a cane and with his eyes closed.
"You know I don't agree with these two ideas so severely, but my justice is strong enough to destroy evil in my path and when I say this, I am referring to the Shichibukais too..." Fujitora commented in a dangerous tone.
"Even so, you must obey my orders!" Akainu growled at him, but continued. "But I agree with you on this part... the Shichibukai program cannot continue to exist... they must be destroyed as well." Akainu said.
"We'll have to fight those guys then... scary..." Kizaru responded, sitting on another sofa. "But now we also have a new fish in the sea, one much bigger than them." His gaze fell on the newspaper crumpled by Akainu with a certain gleam behind his glasses.
"That's true... those bastards locked me in a fish for months at the bottom of the sea, I only survived because of my akuma no mi..." Another person spoke, and it was none other than Green Bull, who also became an admiral after being invited by the government as soon as he returned from the sea bottom and reported his mission failure.
"We will indeed fight them..." Akainu spoke again. "We cannot leave Dressrosa like this, so I want Fujitora to go to Dressrosa. We have only 4 crew members apparently, and with the princess being a pirate from that crew, it's not good news." Akainu spoke swiftly.
"Understood." Fujitora said with a serious tone as he stood up. "I'll be arranging a ship for there." He left the room after that.
"Well... now let's talk about the meeting that will happen among the kingdoms that are part of the World Government that the government is advancing due to current events..." Akainu moved on to the next topic. "As you know, we will take advantage of the meeting to discuss a specific topic. As we were saying, we want an end to the Shichibukais." Akainu said as the meeting continued.
Fujitora went to arrange his ship, while walking easily with his Observation Haki being a blind man, advancing the ship out of the new HQ.
Elsewhere, a naval battle was happening at this moment. A man with pink hair advanced through the air above a pirate ship that was launching its cannons trying to hit him, but he quickly dodged the bullets easily. As he quickly reached that pirate ship and fought against several pirates.
Their captain removed the sword from its sheath before exclaiming. "You damn sailor!" He shouted as he lunged at Coby, before receiving a kick in the face, which sent him jumping from the deck to the other pirates, defeating all the enemies. In that year, he had undergone severe training with Garp, becoming stronger than he ever was.
Navy ships appeared at that moment, as they began to arrest those pirates as soon as they arrived on the scene after Coby had defeated all of them while the night took over the sky.
"You were amazing, Coby!" a blonde girl with a big blush on her face holding a rifle approached Coby, praising him as he smiled at her, scratching his head.
"Thank you, I guess," he said.
"Buahahahahaha, very good, very good, Coby, but still not strong enough. Need to train more, and for that we'll take advantage of some island before returning to HQ!!!" Garp commented laughing while eating his cookies.
Coby approached his current master and showed him a newspaper. "I found this..." He said about the pirate group they knew well as they were starting to act in the new world.
"You see, boy, it looks like my grandson is committing crimes out there, we have to bring him to justice soon!" Garp declared, despite some things being a little strange. After all, various memories began coming back from sailors he had forgotten, but he is a smart guy and quickly began aligning the events with the facts.
Coby looked again at the photo of Luffy's crew members and couldn't help but wonder if he could one day fight against them. After all, he still wasn't at the level needed to fight against such giant creatures.
Elsewhere, Buggy the clown was in the middle of a circus. "Haha!" he laughed while eating and drinking. His old companions from East Blue were with him again.
This clown was now known as a Shichibukai, thanks to his past and incredible luck, while turning hundreds of prisoners into his loyal subordinates, who saw him as a star and a powerful pirate in the seas. Even his group grew to thousands, becoming a fleet.
"Boss Buggy, look what we have here," some members approached with the newspaper. "The events in Dressrosa by them!"
While Buggy was surprised by this, his surprise turned to anger the next moment. "Straw Hat is acting, that damn!" Buggy looked with hatred, as he realized more than a year ago that when he entered the New World and was finally going to search for Captain John's treasure, he no longer had the map.
There was only one moment when this could happen, losing his precious item, which was in Impel Down, while he was knocked out by Luffy and woke up later without the Straw Hats in that corridor. He blamed himself for not having noticed this earlier, and now the treasure map was with Straw Hat and he had to get it back.
"I swear I'll have my treasure back!" Buggy exclaimed in the middle of the circus, while everyone watched.
"Long live Captain Buggy! He can even challenge the Straw Hats! He is incredible, untameable, the man who will get the One Piece, and we will follow him to the end!" The voices of his subordinates echoed, while the crew members from East Blue looked around, a bit lost. Since they had found Buggy again, an entire fan club had come with him. These original members knew the real capabilities of their Captain and that they couldn't face those monsters holding a newspaper.
Elsewhere, other figures also looked with interest at the newspaper. Mihawk was one of them, being one of the Shichibukai, and Bartholomew Kuma another, but he did not care much after all, he was just a machine at this moment.
Three more Shichibukai also looked on, but without revealing their true identities, while each had a different opinion about what was happening at the start of the New World.
At a higher location, the newspaper was crumpled in the hand of an elderly man, who looked at it frustrated.
"We have a delicate situation," said one of the Five Elders, frustrated, while there were two Sacred Knights in front of him, following him to a room in a quite technological facility.
"Is it time to use them, Saint Topman Warcury?" one of the Sacred Knights asked, curious.
"You should not ask such questions to the Five Elders, you fool!" another Sacred Knight exclaimed to his companion.
Nevertheless, Warcury answered the first Knight. "No, we are not going to use them yet. But we are getting close. After all, they are almost ready," the Elder replied. They spoke and finally entered a room where several tanks filled with green liquids appeared in their sight, and inside them were people, more specifically, small people, while they slept, breathing through an oxygen tube. Despite their small size, with peculiar features, the World Government knew their value very well. After all, they had dark skin and black wings, while flames burned around them inside that liquid, just waiting to be released.
"Soon we will start to initiate the project," the Elder said, looking at the first capsule, then the second, third, fourth, and moving on to dozens more until reaching hundreds of them in this room.
