Scene 1: Prologue to War
***VRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE***
Sirens were blowing extremely loud as the the whole Island of Doringur was put into a huge uproar. Civilians were screaming and panicking in the streets as fires spread from building to building, building to tree, tree to forest consuming the whole island in a blaze of destruction. The local marine base immediately dispatched units to all of the island's major communities to ensure the safety of the civilians as they made their way to the shore to pile into boats and flee to the sea. Meanwhile, three marine battleships and one of the land divisions made their way to the other side of the island. They had been receiving reports from the officers at their sister base, located on the opposite side of the island, of a attack from a pirate fleet consisting of five vessels. The boats were small however, and as the fire fight ensued it became apparent that they could be easily brought down by the defensive firepower of the marine battleships.
"Sir we have information on the pirates attacking us." said a panting marine lieutenant to the commanding officer of the islands forces, Captain Lorad. The man was walking with his men towards the battle zone where the pirates had begun their assault on the island .
"Good work soldier, now who are we dealing with?"
"Sir, the identity of the crew members is unknown, but we identified the captain leading them as Captain "Firefox" Lorenzo with a 25 million bounty on his head."
"Lorenzo? Never heard of him."
"He was a pirate that terrorized the East Blue for years until the Pirate King ruthlessly destroyed his crew and then disappeared for five years after wards."
"What's that bastard doing in the Grand Line!"
"I don't know sir, but there's more." The captain then turned and focused his eyes on the lieutenant with stern intensity. "It seems that-"
"DOTON: DEVOURING EARTH!" yelled a male voice. Suddenly the earth began to shake and the soil underfoot of the marines split apart into a massive gaping maw that immediately swallowed up the men behind the captain, closing up behind them with the sickening crunch of bones ground to dust. Of the many men who had managed to avoid the jaws of death turned only to find that their fate was sealed nonetheless.
"Captain we're surrounded!" yelled on of the men. The courageous man swiftly picked himself up to confront this threat and his heart filled with righteous rage, finding that what was left of his unit was completely surrounded by masked men wearing headbands bearing metal plates emblazoned with various foreign symbols.
"Men prepare to fire!" commanded Capt. Lorad. Acting quickly, the men righted themselves into firing positions and cocked back the hammers of their guns while they backed into each other to cover their flank, forming a defensive circle. Suddenly however there was a distinctly unhinged laugh coming from behind the masked men.
"Grrhehehehe! Now settle down boys let's not be to hasty yet." said a sadistic sounding voice, grabbing the captain's attention. Walking towards them was a man roughly 6'3'' wearing strange purple clothes that looked like something out of propaganda manga the navy circulated concerning ninja, with long red hair and fierce red eyes. He had two swords sheathed across his back, each scabbard decorated with a fiery design.
"'Firefox' Lorenzo I presume." said the captain sternly.
"You presume correct marine, I see the world hasn't forgotten me after five long years." maliciously chuckled Lorenzo.
"The world would be grateful if you and all your vile kind would just disappear."
"Ah yes disappearing. Into myth or into legend, people will always remember the greats." pridefully smiled Lorenzo.
"If I recall, the only great thing about you was that you thought you were so great you tried to take on the Pirate King and failed miserably, being left to drift on a dingy in the Calm Belt." retorted the lieutenant, stepping in closer to the defense of his captain.
"Ah yes, that highlight of my life. The one that put me in my position today." said Lorenzo as he gestured towards a grove of nearby trees that had escaped the blaze, out of whose treetops emerged several men. He then approached the captain and lieutenant and placed a hand on each of their shoulder leaning in close to their ears so that they could feel his breath against their napes. "Where I'm in-charge of the very humans that the World Government tried so hard to hide from the rest of the world."
"What?" shouted Capt. Lorad confused about what the man was talking about. The lieutenant couldn't understand it either.
"I've been to the Demon Island." whispered Lorenzo sending the captain and lieutenant into shock.
"W-what?" stuttered both
"That's right and this is what I was rewarded with." the pirate said as his voice grew louder. He stepped away from the captain and waved to all the men. "An army of demons, the unholy children of death and shadow! Who feed upon the souls of men, their skin seeped in the blood of their victims, born and raised in death's fatherly embrace, as feared as Whitebeard himself!"
"H-how?" asked the lieutenant.
"Ah! That's not your purpose." spoke a male in a high pitched masculine voice that was raspy, as if his tongue was to long for his mouth. Before the lieutenant could get the chance to say anything, his head was completely sliced off at the third neck vertebrae, staining the retinas of all the marines with a horror they were not prepared for.
"Lieutenant!" shouted Capt. Lorad and many of the marines. The man appeared next to captain Firefox in a blur of movement. He laughed at them as he held a sword covered in the blood of the captain. The man stood about 5' 10'', and had slightly tanned skin. He wore a cowhide print tee-shirt over a bizarre looking shirt of netting, and holding up his long tan pants was a thick purple rope tied in a large knot at the back. His short, messy blonde hair hung over the headband on his forehead, the metal plate of which had a music note imprinted on it. He had a shallow nose below aquamarine eyes whose pupils were slitted like a reptiles, and his grin showed that all of his teeth were long, narrow and pointed.
"That seemed unnecessary." said Lorenzo unconcerned about the death.
"Maybe to you, but I've been itching to kill." said the blonde to the redhead.
"Whatever, did our message get through?"
"Ah! Yes, the marine is doing his job as we speak." bowed the blonde hair man.
"Good. The plan begins." smiled Lorenzo pleased with the outcome.
"You monster!" shouted Capt. Lorad catching the snake-like man and Lorenzo's attention. "What are you planning with these demons!"
"You know, I may be a cruel man, but even I find demon insulting." growled the snake-like man as he pointed his sword at the captain. "I think I'll just kill you now!"
***BOOOOM*** ***BOOOOM*** ***BOOOOM*** ***BOOOOM***
"Finally the battleships." smirked the captain while many of the 'demons' were distracted.
"Men Fire!" On command the marine soldiers acted, as they pulled their triggers and fired upon the 'demons' killing many that were caught off guard as a result of the explosions. Capt. Lorad also took action revealing a mini pistol and aimed for Lorenzo. Unfortunately, before he could fire the snake-like man threw a strangely shaped knife right into the barrel causing the gun to implode in the captains hands.
"Tch, tch, that wasn't very smart." mocked Lorenzo while waving his finger. The captain just glared at the two men with a great fury in his belly.
"Now I kill you." said the snake-like man as he raised his head up his sword ready for attack, but then Lorenzo halted him.
"Not yet Hosja, let's show him what our power is compared to the three battleships they sent." evilly smirked Lorenzo. Hosja also smirked, knowing what he implied. He then placed his hands together in a rapid succession of contorted formations, and with the final hand signal formed suddenly the ground around the three men began to rise above the tree line. The pirate and the 'demon' then looked out toward the opposite side of the island, the captain did the same seeing his three battleships sailing strangely.
"I guess you can't see what's happening from here, you think there is any way to see the terror?" asked Lorenzo to Hosja. He smirked and threw another of those weird knives in the air, but this had a tag of paper attached to the hilt. Hosja then formed another hand symbol and suddenly a bright flash was seen in the sky.
Meanwhile on the opposite side of the island.
"Hey there's the signal." said a masked man dressed identically to the others to another man who was sitting patiently next to him.
"Finally!" said the man as he got up and began walking onto the ocean, seemingly walking upon the water itself through some strange power. In front of him the three marine battleships were all trapped in the current of a massive maelstrom whirlpool made by several of his fellow 'demons'.
"Oh! It's time!" said another 'demon' as he spotted his comrade coming from offshore. He then released his hands, and at the same time the whirlpool dissipated.
"What the heck!" yelled one of the marines as he and many others peered over the side after battling a whirlpool and many masked men who moved faster than wind and wielded foreign knives. All of them saw the two men standing on water, all wondering how they did it and what atrocity they were going to perform next.
"Suiton: Water Beast!" said the man as he did many hand signs. Suddenly the water in front of him began to twist and turn, surging upwards and away from the level surface of the ocean as it took form of a titanic wolf-like beast. All the marines gaped at it with disbelief as the water creature stared at them with empty eyes of water. The man smirked, then the beast attacked.
Back inland:
"That's... that's not possible." gasped Capt. Lorad as he saw the water beast ripping through the seastone fortified hulls of the marine battleships with the ease of a predator through the flesh of a small child.
"Oh, but it is." smirked Hosja evilly. Then looked down. "Just like it's possible to kill off your entire unit."
"What!" The captain immediately looked over the edge of the risen earth to see that all of his men were being killed with relative ease by the lighting fast 'demons' in a flurry of stab wounds and slit thoats.
"You see, I've gone far beyond the World Government's hands. I'm practically the devil himself." smiled pridefully at his own comment.
"Doesn't matter." said the captain gaining the other two's attention. "You're still just a weak pirate captain that failed miserably at the hands of the true devil, Pirate King Monkey D. Luffy!" At this point, Lorenzo's temper went off and he punched the captain and grabbed his collar as he hung him over the edge of the cliff formed from the wall of earth.
"Don't You Dare Say His Name In My Presence!" shouted Lorenzo in rage. As his rage grew, it seemed as if he himself was growing and becoming more animalistic.
"That Bastard And His Crew Destroyed My Life And Sent Me To Drift In That Godforsaken Sea Called The Calm Belt! Well I Survived, Gained New Allies, And Now I'm Going To Raise Some Hell The Likes Of Which Would Make "Golden Lion" Shiki's Plan Look Like A Trip To A Zoo!" He then threw the man to Hosja, who held him in line of sight of his marine base.
"Now let me show you what I acquired in that land that makes me truly fearsome." The captain grew confused at that part until he saw the man jump off. But he was soon staring after a huge figure that overshadowed the two men. While Hosja only smirked at the figure, Capt. Lorad was absolutely horrified.
"Prepare Yourself Marines and Pirates, Because I'm Raising Hell Like No Other!" said the voice of Lorenzo. Then the figured moved and fired a huge stream of fire that impacted the base immediately setting it a blaze and destroying it.
Marine HQ:
"Hello? Hello! Report Soldier! Report!" shouted Marine Fleet Admiral Aokiji as he held the receiver from a Transponder Snail, hearing nothing but static. He then angrily slammed the receiver. "Dammit!"
Headquarters had received an SSS priority alert from their marine base located near the forbidden zone. A regular soldier had called in an attack by a missing pirate known as "Firefox" Lorenzo and a crew said to be the very demons they had feared since first knowledge came about this island. He was able to send pictures of the men, and they matched the description they had for the people on that island. Masked men and/or women wearing metal headbands with symbols. They believed that the symbols represented the various clans of the demons. The higher ups knew better, but it was the only way to keep civilians and idiots alike from going there themselves. Before transmission ended the soldier became frantic over a monster that appeared in front of the base quickly describing as a red-furred, multi-tailed, beast. Their worst fears had been realized, and he knew that news about this won't be kept quiet for long if nothing was done. The World Government wouldn't stand for this, even with the little knowledge they had about the island. Aokiji sat back down in his chair and rubbed his forehead in frustration. Nothing had been this difficult since he took back what was rightfully his oh those many years ago when Akainu finally got what he deserved.

"Set Sail! For Demon Island!" shouted Mika with excitement as she pointed out to sea where a small landmass could be seen. All around the Draco Bliss, the crew looked determinedly from their spot as the ship began to sail forward away from the nearly lifeless isle. Meanwhile at the head of the ship, the newcomer looked towards the island with hope, wondering if he will ever regain his memories.
