One Piece: Reborn as Enel

_________ POV Narration_________

Enel's ship cut through the clouds, as he sat on his golden throne, legs crossed and a book in front of his face.

Sabo and Ivankov were currently busy partying with the rest of the Revolutionaries abroad. Their mission had been a complete success, and now they were heading back to base.

Enel ensured they weren't being followed, turning on his radar every 30 minutes and scanning the area as far as his Observation Haki allowed.

Thanks to that, Enel was confident no one was following his vessel. Which was good, as he was designated as the first ship to return to Baltigo, of which he was given a piece of Larthy's Vivre Card in order to navigate properly.

Larthy and her team couldn't do much to help the situation after the initial planning was over.

Robin was also in Baltigo studying from their library. After all, even with the training from Enel, she wasn't exactly someone they wished to risk on the frontlines.

For now, their duties were to prepare for the few sleepless weeks that would follow after Enel delivered the Poneglyphs to them.

Dragon and everyone else had also split up, they were to all head back to Baltigo after doing a few loops and confusing anyone that was set to follow them.

A few of the revolutionaries also stole some of the vessels, as they were useful ships and could either be destroyed for parts or fully resold to the right buyers.

They also scattered in different directions, fleeing with some of the original Poneglyphs and new warships for the Revolutionary Army.

The ships that couldn't be taken from each convoy were simply sunk, letting some of the original Poneglyphs also reach the bottom of the seas.

'Better for the fish and sea kings to have them than the world government...' Were Dragon's exact words when strategizing how to cause as much damage as possible.

There weren't many occurrences for Enel along the way.

The only interesting thing to happen was Ivankov turning into a woman and inviting Enel for a dance, and calling him a 'Boring Party pooper' when refused.

Although he was called that, the party still continued, and Ivankov even ended up hosting Enel up in the air by his chair and parading him around the ship.

In doing so, he had basically ripped the chair from its initial spot and ripped all of the golden tubes connected to it.

All was well, with Enel continuing to read his book as his chair moved around in the dancing crowd.

All until the ship's engines started going slower for a bit and Enel punched him in the head for disrupting his connection to the ship's 'electricity' system.

Ivankov woke up after a few minutes and continued to party without bothering Enel after that.

Enel's giant vessel reached Baltigo relatively quickly, as its high-powered engines flew high above the clouds with speeds far exceeding any regular sea-faring ship.

Enel's eyes scanned the clouds once more before descending into the mist and landing his vessel near the main base on the island.

The residents had already spotted them before the landing, they had already come out to greet them. Including Robin and Larthy, who seemed to be conversing about something as they watched Enel's ship stop its engines completely.

"I'm telling you! You look exactly like her." Larthy said as her finger twirled around a few golden strands of her somewhat messy hair.

"... This is not exactly what I expected to hear this morning..." Robin rubbed the bridge of her nose in frustration as she looked at Enel's ship with a tired gaze.

For a while now, Larthy had been going on and on in her own mind about finding Robin familiar for some reason.

Even during the whole mess with the war, the thought didn't quite leave her mind. She had been subconsciously interested in Robin ever since meeting her for some odd reason.

It was just something about her mannerisms and calm demeanour that she found extremely familiar and quite soothing.

And finally, after searching her mind a bit more, she finally remembered why she seemed so familiar.

"You look exactly like Mother!" Those were the exact words Larthy screamed at Robin when she burst into her room.

Robin was taken by surprise, as she had actually been sleeping like a regular person and not staying up the entire night trying to remember things.

"...What?" Was the only thing that came out of the groggy and half-asleep Robin.

Larthy then actually explained herself, thankfully.

"Ok, so, when I was small, there was this lady running our orphanage. She looked really similar to you, but she had white hair. She wasn't really there a lot, but she's the one that raised me basically..." Larthy patted herself on the chest with a large smile on her face.

Robin just stared at her for a bit, blinking a few times as her sleepy mind tried to process whatever it was that she was hearing.

"...What?"

And so, Larthy basically followed Robin around the entire morning, up until some members of the Archeology team dragged her off elsewhere.

Robin didn't really know what to think of that at all. For most of her life, her mother was actually missing from her, as she travelled the world a lot.

She had no idea what Nico Olivia had been doing with her spare time. But from Larthy's words, Olivia was apparently acting as a caretaker for an orphanage at one point.

Well, she had funded and built the orphanage, giving street urchins a place where they could sleep comfortably and some warm food on their plates.

Orphans of war were common in the world of One Piece, and Olivia had likely encountered quite a few disasters in her time as a traveller.

The fact that she had ended up creating an orphanage and taking in various children didn't bother her...

What bothered her most was that, from Larthy's words, Olivia was visiting the orphans more than she had been visiting Robin back in Ohara...

It wasn't that she was mad at her biological mother, there was no use in hating the dead. But Robin didn't quite like thinking about it either...

She also didn't want to subconsciously start directing her displeasure in that matter towards Larthy. She didn't feel the need to be jealous outright, she also didn't want to hate Larthy because of it, the woman had been nothing but friendly to her during her time with the Revolutionaries...

Still, she felt a bit off when learning about that. An emotion that Enel of all people managed to pick up on rather quickly.

'She's a bit mopier than usual...'

Having spent so much time with Robin, he could somewhat pick up on her emotions and he could tell that she was in a relatively bad mood.

Larthy was a bit less receptive in that sense, as she was acting like her usual friendly self, only finding the fact that Robin looked like her 'mother' to be extremely interesting more so than anything else.

Enel let the revolutionaries unload everything from the ship, as he walked up to Robin and Larthy with a small smile on his face.

"Now, what have the two of you been up to?" Enel's head tilted slightly, his earlobes dangling a bit as he directed a comforting gaze towards Robin.

Robin noticed that her face mustering up a strained smile as he looked over at Larthy with a quizzical look.

But Larthy seemed to have no clue that that subtle interaction was even happening, as she just responded to Enel's question.

"Our team has been preparing for your arrival! We are hoping for good news, obviously."

Enel simply smiled at her, reminding himself that most bookworms weren't socially apt as well.

He simply tapped Robin's shoulder and leaned down quite a bit, whispering to her ear. "We'll talk a bit later, ok?"

Robin simply nodded to that, before shaking her head and recovering her stoic exterior.

"Well, the good news is that we managed to get all of the convoys we had mapped out. The bad news is we've no clue if we've missed any." Enel turned to Larthy and spoke with a smile.

"No need to cry over spilt milk! If you've got all of the ones we had mapped out then everything should be good... I can't wait to get my hands on them!" Larthy clapped her hands together as the team behind her seemed to groan in frustration.

Enel looked at them for a bit before smirking a bit. 'Heh, guess they have a lot of work to do now... Sucks to be them, I ain't helping!'

"Now then, let's all get to work, shall we?" Enel also clapped his hands, gaining more groans from the archaeology team except for Larthy, who basically ran to the ship to look at the copied Poneglyphs, unable to contain her excitement.

While that was happening, unbeknownst to everyone, a large decision was made at the table of the 5 Elders...

"So you want us to start another war?!" Akainu smashed his fist on the table as he glared at the 5 elders with rage.

"Hmph, you have no right to argue after losing so pathetically in the last one!" One of the elders said as he glared at the Fleet Admiral without any speck of fear.

"This is far too soon! The Marines have barely had a few months to recove-"

"We don't care! You saw the news Akainu! The World is twisting and turning because of that stupid newspaper!"

Akainu simply clenched his teeth, the anger in his gaze rising when hearing about the newspaper as well.

"Don't you dare protest any further Sakazuki! We haven't forgotten about your failure to act upon a Buster Call a few weeks back!" One of the elders narrowed his eyes at Akainu as he said that, making the Fleet Admiral meet his gaze defiantly.

"I already said that it was a technical issue..." Akainu said, almost in a growl.

"Hmph, as if anyone would believe that! I don't care who you do it with, but I want you to start a war. And now!

Attack a Yonko territory for all I care, throw as many lives into it as possible, the bigger the loss of life the more impactful a news story it will be!"

Akainu at that point could only grit his teeth even more, to the point where his gums were bleeding slightly.

"As you wish..." Akainu said as he strolled out and slammed the door behind him.

'These fuckers have no care in the world, do they?!' Akainu slammed his fist into a nearby wall, cracking it as his anger skyrocketed again.

He managed to calm down when seeing Aokiji, who was looking at him with a serious gaze as well.

"You heard it... We need to start a war now..." Akainu said as he crossed his arms and huffed some steam from his nose.

"It seems they just want a distraction... Maybe if we are able to find something big enough to distract the public we'd be fine?" Aokiji said as he put his hands in his pockets and started walking alongside Akainu.

"No... They specifically asked for war, the fuckers! They want some loss of life, a huge 'tragedy' so that they can sweep everything they did under the rug..." Akainu said as he finally reached his office.

"Hmm... They want a war right?" Akainu finally calmed down completely when he sat down on his chair.

Aokiji in front of him just gave him a cryptic look, before nodding his head once.

Akainu's lips parted into a wide smile, as his eyes blazed with volcanic rage once more.

"Well... Let's give them war!"
