White Tiger

Kimimaro nodded, "I see, so with the right use, he could even get Whitebeard's shadow and make the shadow with Whitebeard's strength, his subordinate." 

"Exactly, his recent defeat might be of use to us, if we send him an olive branch." 

"The next is...." 

"......"

After gruelling brain storming session, The meeting between Marines higher-up finaly concluded after midnight, everyone dispersed from the office right away, except Sengoku and Kong.

"What do you think of Kimimaro?" Kong stood behind a window with his hands on his back.

Sengoku stood right behind Kong with subtle expressions.

"He's driven, powerful, and had heart." Replied Sengoku.

"....I wonder..." Kong whispered. 

"Why do you ask?" 

"We're old Sengoku, you might not notice this. But i felt like i couldn't move as i used to be..."

"Nonsense, you're only 56 and i'm only a year younger than you." 

"About Kimimaro, make sure you keep your eyes on him, i felt that we couldn't control him completely..." 

Sengoku paused as he understood the underline meaning behind Kong's speech. By "..We.." Kong's mean World's Government. 

He knew that World's Government need a reliable and powerful allies, however if those allies couldn't be controlled, they won't hesitate to nip him in the bud before he grew much stronger.

However Sengoku felt that Kimimaro loyalty right now was in line with Marines, so he only nodded at Kong's words and just threw it to the back of his mind.

Both of them finaly kept their silence seeing Marineford scenery at night.

Next morning, 

Kimimaro had already stood on standby in one of Marineford docks, he saw an enormous Galeon type of ship was slowly coming closer from distance. 

The massive ship could be intimidating at the usual moment, however, Kimimaro along with his soldiers saw the huge Galeon was so battered it seems like it just escaped from a cyclone in Grandline!

*Bzzzzt.....

"Weird, that's Moria ship right?" Enel who suddenly appeared beside Kimimaro asked.

"It looks like it." Nodded Kimimaro.

The ship's owner was supposed to be Gecko Moria, the man with Kage-Kage no Mi(Shadow Fruit) ability, he was once a commander of a fleet consisting of numerous pirates before he went to challenge the Beast Kaido in New World.

After docking, a man with tall stature and yet slim built stood at 692 cm/22'8½" in height slowly decending a gangway. He wore an open black leather jacket showing his chest and stomach which covered by bandages.

He has two horns protruding from the sides of his forehead, Moria's hair is red, and his skin is a pale blue, matching his lips, his forehead and body could be seen covered with bandages while his right hand hanging by bandages in front.

Moria glanced at his surrounding which he saw Marine Soldiers complete with their weapon stood by his left and right forming a long path. In the middle of such formation there stood 2 young Marines with peculiar clothing stood side by side looking back at him. 

One of them has peculiar long earlobe, stood barechested with golden belt wrapped his waist and wore white bandana. as for the other man, he was wearing traditional white haori, pale skin and white hair smiling gently at him.

"Gecko Moria from Gecko Pirates?"
