19th Division Commander and 10th Division Commander
"As far as the 19th Division and might as well bring up the 10th Division since they are both stuck in a predicament, we have to organize a search and rescue party. We'll talk about it more later after the assignments are revealed." Kuro closed his eyes and rubbed his temple, he just hopes his friends are okay.
...Wano Kingdom
"Chances of survival is 2%" Two men were hiding behind a giant mountain that lay outside of the main town. They have been running for hours as they managed to escape the prison that was holding them.
"Shut it Hawkins, we need to find a way out." The red haired man with a missing right arm said the person beside him. He was trying to catch his breath as they have been running non-stop.
"1% chance with that attitude Kid." The probability of survival goes down when they stop working together.

"Okay fine, but how do we get away from this place? I can't even think right now." The lack of sleep and proper meal was getting to him. How would they get out indeed.
It had been some time since they were captured by the Beast Pirates, what day was it? What time was it? They could not even keep track. They have been locked in a solitary confinement style prison. "That stupid X-drake, why couldn't he just join Mugiwara like everyone else! Same goes for that Bege fellow although he turned out alright I guess."

"In faith one does not decide the outcome for the outcome has already been decided. Chances to defeat X-drake 50%..." Hawkins pointed at a dinosaur in front of them, it was none other than X-Drake, the supernova who now works for Kaido of a hundred beast.
"Surrender so I won't have to hurt you." Stated X-Drake with a cocky smile on his face. Angered by the cockiness of the supernova, Eustass Kid took him up on his challenge.
"Try me!" Eustass Kid pulled some metal mineral from the ground underneath, using his magnetism to do so. He fashioned a makeshift spear with it. "Fuck your chances, I'm going to win this."
"That may be, but what then afterwards?" Hawkins is referring to what would happen next after the fight. If they come out victorious, the noise will certainly attract more unwanted attention.
"Damn it you're right!" Kid threw the spear right in between the dinosaurs head. X-Drake simply swiped it with his tail. By doing so, Hawkins entangled his legs with some straw strings that came out from the ground. This momentary distraction gave the duo enough time to run away.
"Just you wait Drake! I'm coming for you!" Yelled Kid as he kept running. Hawkins punched him on the back of his head. "The hell was that for!"
"Stop making noises." Hawkins told him and the two just kept running. They had to, it was for their life.
They just had to survive until the Grand Fleet arrives, they will come, they will.
Though will they get there on time. The duo stopped mid stride as a menacing presence stood before them.
"It's fucking King." Kid felt it and so did Hawkins this was a whole different level
"0% now Eustass Kid..."
"I will enjoy your cries of agony!" The giant man known as King yelled at them, flames escaping his back. He looked menacing in his attire, but Kid and Hawkins had little choice now.
"Screw you!" He released his own aura although it was smaller compared to the man known as King. The man smile behind his mask, this was going to be fun.
18th Commander Strawhat Grand Fleet
"Then onto my good friend as you all may know, Gin will lead the 18th division and he will integrate the Ideo pirates within his crew to create the Fighting Pirates Alliance."

"So you are going to lead our group huh?" Ideo was speaking to him, a champion of the Corrida colosseum, the captain of his own crew after the end of Dressrosa. But now, he was suppose to take over leadership and integrate his current crew with the strong figures within his crew.
"I suppose." Gin found the whole situation unnecessary, after all this was going to be a something that does not need to happen.
Ideo got behind him fairly quickly, he was a strong warrior in the ocean after all, and Ideo was going to get a clean hit, he was very agile. But Gin was no pushover, no, Gin brought out of his tofa and blocked the man's attack. The incoming punch was strong, packed with a powerful force that followed through his punch, but Gin absorbed the impact with his Tofa, by simply blocking it. Ideo's eyes widened, that was one of his signature attacks and this man just took it like it was nothing. What was he?
"Get out of the way! I'll take the reign as the captain!" Blue Gilly was next, harassing Gin with a flurry of kick. Just as a kick seemingly made contact with Gin, it was a miss. Blue Gilly was going for a good five minutes, not a single kick was connecting.
"This is nothing compared to Sanji's kicks." Gin caught Blue Gilly's left leg and tossed him towards the ground.
"Alright enough you bastards!" Gin brought out both weapons as both Jeet and Abdullah were about to go after him next. "If you won't listen to me, fine, but you'll learn to respect me." He pointed his tofa at the four men who challenged his control; Blue Gilly, Ideo, Jeet, and Abdullah. Each men looked ready for business, not a single man ready to take a back seat to him.
"Good." Gin got in position, for now he was the 18th division commander, and he had to beat it in the men's head that it needs to stay that way.
They jumped after him, he jumped after them, resulting in a clash.
Who won that day? You'll get four different accounts, but who truly won that day?
Ideo stood, but not for long as he dropped on one knee.
"Good...Let's pick it up tomorrow." He was sweating profoundly, his clothes was ripped and his arms were bruised, and yet he was the last man standing.
'The Demon' Gin prevails.
17th Commander Strawhat Grand Fleet
"Dalton has formally stepped down from his position within the Grand Fleet. He says that he's had fun but it was time to return home to Drum Island for the upcoming Levely. That is another subject to handle, later though...for now the 17th Commander is going to be Sai of the Happo Navy. I understand that Sai will participate in the Levely as well, so look out for each other. Again more details on this later."

"I love you darling." Baby 5 clutched the arm of her new husband. Everytime she was proposed to, she always said yes because she was obligated to do so. Her own mother called her useless, her father was missing, and she had to fend for herself. She had to mean something to someone or her existence would be invalid.
That was until she became his bisento, metaphorically speaking of course. She was a weapon, yes, but she didn't feel like an object, she finally found a partner, finally found meaning in her life. Sai took care of her, not because he wanted to take advantage of her fragile personality, but because he truly cared. And now she was the queen of the Happo country, representing her country along with her husband. Don Chinjao and the others are back home preparing for the Levely. It was only the two of them that made the trip to Enies Lobby.
She had to let go of her newly wedded husband's hands in order for him to attend the meeting but she did not go a second without missing him. Although the people in Enies Lobby kept her entertained. Bon Kurei was such a funny fellow along with Hatchann. They were strong fighters in their own right yet they knew how to enjoy themselves, despite the dire situation they experienced they remained positive. Why?
"To make sure nobody loses hope!" Replied Bon Kurei with a tearful smile on his face. Kalifa would path him in the back as he continued to comically cry massive tear fountain.
"Nobody will lose hope." The old man that Baby 5 was familiar with fell asleep mid sentenced causing a round of laughter. Lao G was an old man yet he was as spirited as he was in his youth.
This was a good place to be.
"You can count on me to uphold the responsibility of the 17th Division." Sai stood up, his hands missing the heat of his wife's touch. They yearned for one another, but later, for now world changing decisions to take care of.
Luffy's Inevitable Meeting: Wanda
He felt like a shrink, it was like he was being asked to solve everyones problem, listen to everyone. But this was his responsibility it was something that came with his title. But what he really wanted was to spend some more time with his wife. Hopefully she is having fun at the Commander meeting. He already knew the positioning as he helped create it as soon as he returned home, he did not even have time to rest. Kuro and the other Grand Fleet commander started to catch him up to speed. There was a lot that goes into being a Yonko, oh well, it felt good being on top.
He opened the door that revealed the first person he needed to speak with.
"Hi." Luffy sat across from the Mink. She had been requesting for a meeting with him since she arrived and here they were.
"You are Monkey D. Luffy. My name is Wanda of the Mink tribe and I need your help." She got on the floor and bowed before the man begging for his help.
"No need for that, please have a seat." Luffy signalled for her to have a seat which she did so.
"I just really want to protect my home..." She began but Luffy cut her off.
"I will help you but it will be something that needs to wait..." Now it was her turn to cut him off.
"No! This can't wait, Jack could wipe out our whole country as we speak he released a massive posionous substance that made our entire country sick!" Wanda mentioned the name Jack, and Luffy's ears perked up at this. She described the poison and it could only be made by one person.
"The calamity? Kaido's commander Jack?And that poison sounds familiar." Plans immediately filled his head as to what he could do with this information. "What do they want?"
"They want information on Raizo, he's a loyal follower of the Kozuki family, the family of the late King of Wano, Kozuki Odin..." Wanda was spilling a lot of information towards someone she barely knew. Hopeful her trust was well placed.
"This is indeed troubling, and we owe the Beast Pirates a favor. Alright Wanda I will pick a select group of people that will act as your help in Zou, and also we need information from Jack in order to save our comrades in Wano Kingdom."
"So you're not coming with us?" Wanda was getting worried, Mugiwara was truly her only hope, failure was not an option.
"Trust me Wanda I will assemble the best crew that can further assist you in this mission." With that Luffy patted her in her back and left the room, only time will tell who he selected.
A couple of hours later, Wanda was summoned, immediately she found that the room was filled with seven people, eight counting herself.
"Hi Wanda." A familiar person gave her a massive hug, it was Brulee. They have gotten close throughout their time in with the Grand Fleet.
"Hi Brulee, are you going to be part of the team?"
"Yeah! It's my first mission assigned by Captain Luffy. My mirror fruit will come in handy, not just escape and travel but also to help you train your new door fruit." She called him Captain, completely tossing any connection with Big Mom, she was no longer with the Big Mom Pirates, no longer.
"Oh yeah I have the door fruit now." She look at her paw wondering how she was suppose to go about her life with this new devil fruit in her body.
"Why do you have the door fruit." He was stern and yet he was gentle. She pushed him away in order to gather her own footing.
"I ate something strange, it tasted funny, who the hell are you anyway!" Wanda stood up and brushed herself off.
"That fruit belonged to a friend…" He looked hurt, sort of lost trying to find an answer, although she did not have an answer.
"I'm sorry for your lost, but I have to go now, by mister…?" She had to asked, there was something in the air that made the entire situation feel different, not wrong, just different.
"Lucci. Just be careful next time okay..." With that Lucci disappeared into the crowd. Come to think of it, she completely missed the crowded street, not a single person took a second look at what she was doing. They were all busy, the entire Grand Fleet were busy.
"Bye…." That was weird...she thought with a giddy smile on her face.
"Hi, the name is Vergo, I will be the lead in this mission to save your home country." Vergo had a bone to pick with Jack, specially after what he did to him during the Whole Cake Island war. It also helps that he was a member of the Strawhat Pirates. Then the next person to come up was a weird greasy haired dude with the number three on his head.
"My name is Galdino, hopefully my wax will come in handy." He shook her hands and she smiled back at him. He looked strange at first but everyone looked strange in this place.
"Hello, I am Perona, the Strawhat Pirate Spy, I will also partake in this mission. To be honest I been thoroughly bored from all the resting! I had to get away from the healing quarters!" Perona was hyper from some medication she was taking. Vergo would protest but he shouldn't talk, he too wanted to go despite not being completely cleared.
"I will go along with this boy Killer, we will help you so we can save Kidd and Hawkins." Appo wasn't going be left behind and Killer needed to save his Captain.
"I'm here to clear up the poison I made..sorry I was not a good person before…" Caesar was the last member to be revealed. He did make the poison that was used by Jack, he can fix that. For now Wanda would have to welcome him, but he was still angry at him and his work.
That rounds out all members of the Zou party.
Wanda, Brulee, Caesar, Killer, Appo, Galdino, Perona all led by Vergo. Let's go team Zou, go!
Meanwhile somewhere in the North Blue…
There was a story…
Sanji landed gracefully on the plaza of the massive floating island. He looked around, trying to find the people who invited him over.
...of a group extraordinary assassins…
"Well well, if it isn't Vinsmoke, Sanji former First Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates." A small man was smoking his cigar, his hands was embezzled with expensive jewelry.
"Capone Bege of the Fire Tank Pirates...why are you here?" Sanji did not remove his hands from his pocket, if it was going to be a fight, he was still not going to use his hands.
...success is inevitable once the money's right…
"We escaped together you know...but there was a problem...my wife and my kid were left behind! So whatever you're doing. I want in." No beating around the bush, straight to the point for the supernova. One will go through irrational lents for their family, even joining the enemy.
"Bege! You fool!" A giant man jumped from the highest building of the floating island. His voice echoed in the air as he fell from several stories in the air. "He wants something and we were suppose to negotiate!" The man landed gracefully on the ground, stopped by the shock absorbers equiped in his raid suit.
...they were the best in the business…
"Shut up Vinsmoke Judge! You do not talk to me that way!" Capone Bege had his pistol infused with Haki, pointing it directly at Judge.
"Don't test me Bege!" Judge was not one to back down and he held his spear to his side, he cut bullet in mid air before, this will be no different.
...rate of completion was perfection…
"Relax..." A pink wearing woman graced the people present with her appearance. She held the Tip of Capone Bege's gun, white she put her hands up in front of her father.
"Reiju get out of my way." Amidst the genetic modification in his children's body was the work that modified their mind that they had to listen to all his order, though this time, Reiju did not move. Red, Blue and Green streaks surrounded Sanji.
"Ichiji.." He looked at the man in red first then the man in blue. "Niji..." Then lastly the green haired man. "Yonji."
"Sanji." Says Ichiji. Niji and Yonji remained silent.
...and their name, well it was…
"So what did you all want then." He did not regret his decision to visit. After all if anything, he'd just beat the shit out of all of them, he could if he wanted to, he was sure of it. Well except his sister Reiju, he has a special place in his heart for her kindness towards him in his youth.
"Your Captain almost killed Big Mom, we were going to be killed by her if we did not get away. First of all she invited our Reiju to be wedded to his son though the whole time they were going to assassinate us! Capone Bege told us of this! So we want revenge." Said Judge, Sanji was surprise that his father was asking for help.
"I just want my family back Vinsmoke yellow, and I heard from a good source that you're moving against her..." Bege smoked his cigar, it was like he was never going to run out of one.
"What the…?" Sanji could not believe that Katarina's leak was further than they anticipated, oh well they were ready for it. At least that was the plan anyway.
"World travels fast Vinsmoke yellow..."
"My name is Sanji, Bege." Reiju dropped her hands and Judge relaxed, so did the other three. Sanji was listening to them now.
...their name was...
"Whatever, what do you say?" Capone asked.
"Don't expect a sorry from us weakling." Yonji thought he was being funny, trying to get a reaction from his brother, but all he received was a smack of the back of his head and a knee into his stomach. This caused him to collapsed on the ground.
"Don't you see Yonji, we are asking this loser for help! As shameful as that is, we have little options left." Although he was a bit harsh, he was right. Sanji thought he could use without the word loser but it wouldn't be his family if they didn't try to bring him down.
"How fast can this floating country travel?" Sanji looked up with a smile on his face.
"We can get to the Grandline within two days, why?" Answered Yonji who was laying on the floor but his skin was like metal so it could easily be fixed with a hammer.
"Set sail for Enies Lobby, we will help you…" Although there was more and Reiju caught it.
"But…?" Reiju had to ask, in her heart she was very happy, hopefully her family feels the same way.
"You will both join to the Strawhat Grand Fleet!" Sanji proclaimed. Both Judge and Bege looked at him in shock.
"What?!" They both yelled at the same time.
...Germa double six.
