"Please Vice-Admiral Garp you have to calm down or else Fleet Admiral Sengoku said he'd throw you in the stockade" Pleaded a young muscular pink headed man.

His name was Coby and his dream had been to join the Marines but now he was trying to restrain his commanding officer and idol Monkey D. Garp 'The Fist'.

"I Will Not Calm Down, that sun of a bitch killed my grandson!" argued Garp

He was of coarse referring to Admiral Akainu, the man who dealt the death blow to his adopted grandson Portgas D. Ace. When he saw him do it, it took Sengoku to keep him from killing his fellow Marine (yes he had temporarily forgotten his hatred after digging himself out from the rubble of Marine HQ, you would to if you had been buried alive for a few days) but it came back to him when he had seen that Akainu had also survived the war. The only thing that kept him from killing him now was that Akainu was sailing on the opposite side of the Grand Line looking for the White Beard Pirates with Sengoku and the two remaining admirals where keeping an eye on him.

"Please vice-admiral Garp calm down, our mission is to get Boa Hancock to come with us to hunt down the remaining White Beard Pirates"

The battleships under the command of Garp were anchored just outside of the no sailing zone surrounding Amazon Lily. Sengoku didn't want to anger Hancock so he ordered Garp to wait for some one to notice them. He hated waiting but if the marines sailed any closer to the island it could lead to war with the Kuja.

"Damn woman she has to know where here waiting for her by now were is she" muttered a bored looking blond marine with a visor over his eyes.

"Helmeppo don't talk about her like that she's one of the Warlords" Coby pleaded of his visor wearing blond friend.

"I don't care who she is we shouldn't be wasting our time…"

"Calm down you too here she comes" interrupted an unknown sailor

Indeed a ship was approaching from the island. It held no sails and was pulled by two large sea serpents called Yuda. The ship was filled with warrior women and on the head of on e of the Yuda rode the 'Pirate Empress' and queen of Amazon Lily, Boa Hancock.

"What do you men want with me, the war with White Beard is over and I have fulfilled my duties as a Warlord and now wish to rest on my homeland so leave" demanded the busty queen of Amazon Lily.

Hancock was standing at the head of her ship on top of one of her Yuda with her entire pirate crew ready for battle should the Marines make a move. She had no intention of helping the marines any more and was trying to intimidate them into leaving.

"Wrong, the war isn't over until Sengoku says it's over so you still need to help us hunt down the White Beard Pirates"

"Well I no longer care what you do to my title as Warlord so you men are on your own" she turned to leave

Garp smirked at her attitude. He didn't care that she had refused like he had guessed she would but he was annoyed at the time he had wasted. He was about to leave when he noticed something about her. On her left wrist was a bracelet that he knew for a fact was one of a kind in the world because he had made it himself.

His anger flayed slightly and he leapt onto Hancock's ship. At once all her Kuja pointed weapons at him but he ignored them. He walked up to Hancock who had turned to glare at him and stared at her bracelet.

"What do you think you're doing" Hancock pointed and arched her back in a way that only she ever did, so much so that she was looking down on Garp so much that she was staring at the sky.

Garp could only stare at her bracelet, he was sure that it was the one he made.

"I suggest you all leave unless you want to fight two wars" Hancock warned

"Maybe we should just go Sir" Coby asked but Garp ignored him

"That's a nice bracelet" he commented "were did you get it"

This Question surprised her as it wasn't one she would've expected but she instantly thought up a cover story.

"I'm a pirate so I stole it"

"Liar"

Hancock's eye twitched in annoyance and Garp stood so he was face to face with her. Both stared into each others eyes trying to get a psychological advantage over the other. Garp leaned in a little closer so that only Hancock would here him before whispering.

"May I tell you a secret Misses Pirate Empress; that bracelet is one of a kind, I know this because I made it. I then gave it to my son Monkey D. Dragon who gave it to his son, my grandson, Monkey D. Luffy"

'Oh shit' ran through Hancock's mind

"So when you say that you stole it you can see why I would have a problem with that; so I ask you how, exactly, did you come into possession of that bracelet"

Hancock mentally swore and thought of a way out of her current situation but didn't show her stress on her face. If she told Garp that Luffy had given it to her he would know that he was on the island and may tell the other marines but he was Luffy's grandfather if what he said was true so he may just want to make sure that Luffy was okay. She had to test the waters.

"How do I know what you say is true, this could be some marine trick of yours" Hancock began the game of cat and mouse.

"The inscription on the inside says 'the will of D will never die' doesn't it" Garp retorted

Hancock blinked because she didn't know of any inscription on the bracelet, Luffy had just told her that this was something his grandfather (he didn't say who) had given to him to give to someone special. She looked down and turned it over exposing the back of it to both her and Garp and indeed the prophesized inscription was on it.

Hancock's jaw dropped but she quickly regained her composure and looked at Garp. He was indeed who he claimed to be, Luffy's grandfather. His eyes were filled with rage like a bull seeing red. He had lost Ace and now thought that he may have lost Luffy to one of the Warlords, he wanted nothing more than to lash out at anything. Not wanting to get into a pointless fight Hancock decided to tell him the truth.

"I think we should discus this in private" she motioned her head to her room

Hancock led Garp to her room for the two of them to talk. Some marines tried to protest their commanding officer being alone on a ship full of pirates but he waved them off.

"First of all" started Hancock once she and Garp were alone in her room "yes I lied about stealing it, Luffy gave it to me as thanks"

"Liar"

"It's the truth; it was for all the help I gave him"

"Help with what"

"Saving Ace. Think about it how can anybody get past the impregnable defenses of Imple Down without help. Plus he just happened to do so while I was visiting, he got in because I snuck him in, that's the only reason I agreed to fight against White Beard, to give Luffy a chance to save his brother"

Garp stared into her eyes. He didn't sense any lies from her but her story didn't add up. She was the man hating leader of an all woman island why would she help a man.

"If what you say is true why would you do this?"

"Why? Because he is the first man I've met to show compassion to women, to put others above him self. That is why I…I…" she couldn't believe she was telling this to him "love him and why I am hiding him and his friends on my island. Besides why would I make up such a lie that all but guarantied that my island would be attacked?"

This time it was Garps turn to drop his jaw. She loved Luffy? She was hiding him and his friends to keep them safe from the Marines?

"You're hiding him here, is he alright, can I see him"

"Yes I am; he doing fine, losing Ace was hard for him but I'd like to think that I'm helping to lesson the pain and no you can't see him, it would raise to much suspicion if I were to let you on the island, I am the man hating queen of Amazon Lily after all"

Garp wanted to argue but knew she was right about the danger in seeing him. Only his men would keep quit about such a thing the rest were solders Sengoku gave him as reinforcements incase he came across Black Beard or any of the White Beard Pirates, if he went ashore someone was sure to blab.

"Can…can you give him a message from me" he pleaded. His eyes were desperate like a dog that was starving to death and wanted scraps to survive the cold night

"Yes I can, what is it"

"I'm proud of him for what he did to save his brother and that I want him to stay safe. After the destruction of Enies Lobby, his punching of a World Noble, the breakout of Imple Down, what he did in the war and the fact that he's Dragons son he'll probably end up as one of the world's ten most wanted men. So I want him to do everything in his power to make sure that he survives because if he dies on me I'll beat his corpse so bad he'll jump back to life just to beg for mercy"

"I'll make sure to tell him" Hancock smiled ever so slightly

Garp got up to leave but stopped as he gripped the door.

"You said you loved Luffy didn't you"

"Yes I did"

"Does he return your feelings?"

"Yes he does"

"Then I ask the two off you not to go after Black Beard, he's to strong for Luffy and I've already lost one grandson so I refuse to lose another"

"I think you underestimate what Luffy is capable of"

"I trained him, I saw him fight in the war, and I know what he's capable of"

"No you don't, what you saw in the war was a tired and wounded Luffy that had already fought his way into and out of Imple Down so what you saw wasn't his full strength. Besides next time he meets Black Beard I'll have finished training him in how to use his Haki"

Garp looked at the woman before him and shook his head.

"I thank you for making him stronger but he'll still be out of his league, after you all left something terrible happened. Black Beard used his Powers to steal White Beards from his corpse so he now posses the powers of the Yami Yami no Mi and the Gura Gura no Mi Devil Fruits"

Hancock's eyes grew wide in shock with this revelation

"That's…that's impossible, how can it be possible for one person have the powers of two Devil Fruits"

"I don't know but some how it is and now that bastard has the power of two of the strongest Devil Fruits in history; Oh and here's some more good news, Sengoku is putting a lot of effort into the Pasifista project. Right now there are 163 and they should total 1000 in two months time so he plans to unleash them on pirates across the world, starting with Black Beard, the remainder of White Beards army and Luffy"

"I'll give him your warning"

"Thank you"


"Ze ha ha ha ha ha ha, I wonder if those idiot marines have dug themselves out yet" laughed Marshall D. Teach, the man better known as Black Beard

"What do you mean dig themselves out captain I thought we killed them" argued his helmsmen Jesus Burgess

"I'm sure we took out the small fries but I'll bet that the big guns are still in the game"

"True" added his navigator Lafitte "but that is not a problem, right now we have to figure out how to get to the New World considering the state of Fishman Island"

The Black beard pirates had sailed to the Red Line, the great continent that divided the world in two, and planned to sail into the New World via the route in Fishman Island but when they dived to it they found that the tunnel that housed Fishman Island had collapsed, trapping them in the first half of the grand Line.

"Guess we have to climb over it and get a new ship in the other side" said Black Beard

"We can't do that what are the odds of us finding a ship big enough for San Juan Wolf" argued Jesus

"Calm down there's a simple solution to this, if we can't go under the Red Line and we can't go over it then all we have to do is go though it" snarled Black Beard

Black Beard walked to the front of his ship and stood proudly at the very edge of it. He took in a deep breath taking in the salt air around him and slowly drew back his right fist.

Immediately his fist was covered in a quivering bubble of blue energy. He threw his fist outward in a powerful jab and cracked the air like glass. A powerful invisible force erupted out of the cracks and flew across the water and slammed into the wall of the Red Line. The impact caused all the dust that wall on the cliffs edge to blow off and drift into the wind. When the dust settled several doze shallow cracks could be seen in the cliff side.

"Ze ha ha ha ha ha, looked like this could take awhile"

Black Beard drew back his fist for another punch and the second one deepened the fissures and caused several large boulders to fall into the sea.


*Rumble* *Rumble* *Rumble*

"Father, Father what's happening" cried a young blond woman

"It's an earthquake Shalulia calm down it will pass"

"But it has been going on for more than a minute is that normal"

"Father! Where are you!" shouted a male voice in the distance

"Your sister and I are in the throne room Charloss"

*BOOM* *CRUMBLE* *CRASH* *RUMBLE*

"Wha-what was that" cried Shalulia

"It was probably a tower falling" spoke her father

"A to-tower" whimpered Charloss

"Calm down you two; we live in the holy city of Mariejois, the center of the world, we are the descendants of the creators of this world, nothing bad can or will ever happen to us do you understand"

The world nobles Saint Charloss his sister Saint Shalulia and their father Saint Roswald were gathered together in the thrown room of their own castle. Despite his boastful claim Roswald was worried because bad things had happened to him and his family before. In the past month his son Charloss had been assaulted by and unnamed swordsman before killing him and then punched out by the pirate Monkey D. Luffy. He himself had been knocked out by a member of Luffy's crew and two off his slaves had escaped, a mermaid that his son had paid 500 million for and an ex-pirate captain.

*RUMBLE* *RUMBLE* *RUMBLE*

"The shakings getting worse" wined Charloss

*Crash*

"AIIIIII" screamed Shalulia. A chandelier had fallen from the ceiling and nearly crushed her and now the paintings where falling off of the walls and the suits of armor that decorated the castle were all rattling at a deafening level.

"Oh god…" Charloss stood at a window and wet him self at what he saw "Father! Father Look at the city it's…it's…it's the end of the world!"

Roswald stumbled to the window and could not make a sound at what he saw. Their was a giant sink hole that was swallowing up buildings one after the other and the edge of the city was coming closer and closer to the castle because the cliffs were collapsing and dropping buildings into the sea.

"RUN!" he screamed

The three world nobles bolted from the room and made a mad dash to the other side of the castle. They would have gone faster but they were weighed down by the air suits they wore so that they wouldn't breathe in the same air as commoners.

Shalulia was about ten meters ahead of her father and brother because she had been the closest to the door. Roswald was faster then his son but not by much.

*Crack*

"Shalulia look out" yelled Roswald. The roof was crumbling and a large piece had nearly fallen on his daughter but thanks to his warning she was able to dodge it

The ceiling was now failing in several places and it was raining rocks on the three nobles. A small rock had shattered Shalulia's glass bubble helmet and cut her face in several places but hadn't hit her head. Roswald and Charloss had willingly taken of their helmets because their sweat was fogging them up and making it hard for them to see.

Roswald dodged a piece of rubble but Carloss tripped over it. He was about to pick himself up when a large ceiling stone fell on and broke his leg. The scream of pain he let out got his families attention and got them both to stop for a second.

"Father, sister help me" he pleaded

Roswald took one look at his son's leg and knew he would be dead weight

"Leave him" he ordered his daughter before he started running again. Shalulia stared at her father in disbelief at his abandonment of his own son and considered helping Charloss herself for a second but also ran off, more concerned for her own safety.

Charloss' jaw dropped and his eyes bugged out at his family abandoning him. They were leaving him to die.

"Father, sister comeback back" he cried "HELP MEEEE!!!"

He had tiers falling down his cheeks from the pain in his broken leg and try as he might he couldn't free himself from under the stone that pinned him to the ground.


"Father why did we leave Charloss behind"

"He was dead weight in his condition, if we had tried to help him we all would've died"

The two remaining nobles ran for their live through their collapsing castle. They each fell a few times but picked themselves up and kept on running. They ran for a few hundred feet before they saw the door that lead outside. The two burst though and could see thousands of others running for safety.

"Quickly Shalulia run for the stairs that head down to the harbor, it's our only hope"

The pair ran for the stairs but the sea of people blocked their path so Roswald pulled out his gun and started shooting. He hit several people in their backs and in the backs of their heads and at once the crowd parted for them, allowing them to run along toward safety.

"Out of our way, out of our way you filthy commoners, we're celestial dragons and demand that you make way" Roswald spate has he continued to shoot at any one who stood between him and the harbor.

"Father, father it hurts" cried Shalulia. When her glass helmet has shattered it left several cuts on her face and the flowing blood was making it hard to see where she was running.

"I know my daughter but you have to put up with it for the time being, look we're almost at the harbor, well find a doctor on the ship and hell tend to your wounds but for now keep running"


"Help me, please somebody help me" screamed Charloss. His throat was sore from screaming and he was losing a lot of blood. The bone from his broken leg had pierced thought his shin and the lack of blood was making him dizzy.

*Rattle* *Thank* *Rattle* *Thank*

Charloss looked up and saw that the earthquake had become so bad that the suits of armor were falling over, one by one.

'God damn father that bastard' he thought 'God damn sister that bitch, how dare they leave me here to die'

"DAMN THEM BOTH TO HELL" he thundered

*Click* *Clunk*

Charloss turned to the side and saw the suit of armor next to him fall over. He realized that it wasn't big enough to crush him but realized that it was holding an unsheathed sword that was aiming for his neck. He tried to scream but it was too late the blade had cut into his neck and slit his vocal cords.

He pulled away from the sword, felt the tip of the blade slide out of his jugular, and gripped his neck that was now gushing blood. He tried to scream but without vocal cords he couldn't and that only made the pain worse because with pain sometimes all you have is the scream.

He clutched at his neck trying to clamp he wound shut but it was useless. His grip continued to weaken and weaken as his eyes glassed over. The castle continued to collapse around him and the rubble became his grave. The ironically named 'Saint' Charloss died with the holy city of Mariejois in ,an event that would secure Black Beards place in history as the most evil man who had ever lived, the destruction of the Red Line.
