A New Path - Chapter 211

“It’s that Straw hat again. That boy is quite the handful, and he has some powerful friends.” Kizaru said as he was remembering his beatdown on Sabaody by that mysterious shape that turned out later to be Vaatu in physical form.

“Let’s hope those friends aren’t here,” Aokij said calmly. He didn’t wanna have to deal with anymore Whitebeards. One person of such freakish strength was enough for him.

“Those kids are barely wet behind their ears. They won’t last against a vice-admiral, they can’t even use haki.”

“Oh, you know about them, Bradley? I thought you didn’t care about rookies.”

“You’re right in assuming that. I do not care for any of them, but that crew has some decent talent, plus, that captain is Garp’s grandson.” Kizaru and Aokiji looked over wide-eyed. They had no knowledge of this, which showed on their expression.

“You don’t say. I wonder how that old man is taking this then,” Kizaru looked up at Garp, and his expression said it all. He wasn’t happy about Luffy showing up here. Garp couldn’t protect Luffy from being arrested or killed here, much like with Ace.

“Let Sengoku worry about that. We are responsible for Whitebeard.”

“True enough, but it looks to be going well. Those warlords are doing a pretty fine job as well.” Kizaru saw Doflamingo slicing up hundreds of pirates, there wasn’t even a challenge for him. His relationship with Amell was known, but not to what extent so the Marines kept him as a Warlord, hoping to get to Amell through him.

Doflamingo sat upon a small pile of bodies with a smile on his face. He was observing Hancock killing pirates with a pleasant expression on her face. “You look as beautiful as always.” He said casually while controlling different pirates and using their bodies to cut up other pirates.

“Shut up, you scum! Do not talk to me!” Hancock, believe it or not, was still running on that anger from when Sasuke and Naruto invaded her ship. That, to her, was the greatest insult and she barely wanted to come here because she was busy looking for those two.

“Why so serious? Loosen up, this is like a vacation away from all that official business. Enjoy it a little, might do you good.” Doflamingo showed his sadistic smile while cutting people down using other people’s hands.

“Don’t you have anyone else to go and annoy?” Hancock turned a pirate to stone with her kick. She turned to Doflamingo, “I’m not in a mood to chat to a madman.” She went on her merry way, leaving Doflamingo on his pile of bodies. He glanced up with a smile, “I wonder when the boss will get here,” He said and chuckled to himself.

Up in the sky above Marineford, a few islands floated stationary beside each other. Each one looked unique and they all were ruled over by different people. On these islands, hundreds of thousands of pirates combined ran around preparing for something. They wore uniforms matching each boss of their island. Some of them were dressed like old classing samurais and wielded nothing but swords, while others were dressed as clowns.

On one of these incredibly large islands, a small group of people stood together at the edge overlooking the world below. “Are we ready?” Asked Byakuya a man standing behind him.

“Yes, Sir! The troops are ready for deployment.” Answered the man seriously with a touch of respect.

“Then there is nothing delaying us. Deploy now!” Byakuya said. After the man behind him signalled someone with his hand, the bottom of each island opened up. Each of them had a hatch attached to its bottom side which all opened up simultaneously. What came out of them were hard-to-believe-in massive ships. On these ships were a mind-boggling amount of pirates. All of them with the skill slightly above a New World veteran. This was the Gotei army. In fact, the scary thing was, this was only three islands out of the thirteen that existed. Meaning, Amell by a very large margin controlled the biggest army in the world. The world was about to be in for a rude awakening.
