Before this starts, I need to say that I did not create the first 5 chapters of this story. They were created by a writer by the mane of GodsWorld. The original Idea came from one of his friends and he had given me permission to continue on with the story.

I do not own the plot of this story until after Chapter 5.

I don't own One Piece. All rights go to Eiichiro Oda

Now to start...

"THAT BOY DID WHAT NOW?"

Shouted an extremely intimidating fellow. He had unruly maroon locks that stuck out in many directions and eyes that were ice blue. The height of his body was over two meters and his trained arms looked as hard and robust as steel. His whole body was so muscular that you would think his clothes would rip on the slightest movement. He wore a long green captain's coat. Beneath his coat, he wore a dark red shirt and had a yellow sash around his waist. He also wore black pants and what appeared to be black sea boots.

Near him was a lean young man standing there with an impassive look on his face.

"Hai Captain, it seems like Monkey D. Luffy and his crew rampaged through Enies Lobby, declared war on the world government, beat the absolute living crap out of CP9, rescued their crew member Nico Robin, survived a Buster Call and escaped Enies Lobby with no casualties. Honestly, I am impressed that they were able to get away with it." The young man reported.

The Captain's eye and mouth twitched at the mention of Luffy's increadible but stupid accomplishment. He looked at his First Mate in annoyance since he could see the twinkle in the young man's eyes that were filled with nothing but amusement.

"That kid is unbelievable. First Alabasta, Now this! Does he even know what the hell he is doing?" The Captain pointed out with a sigh.

A few silent seconds ticked by and before the young man, who opened his mouth, could speak, The Captain raised a hand and said, "That was a rhetorical question, Enzo"

The first mate whose name was now revealed as Enzo had a small grin on his face. He looked at his Captain who grumbled about idiotic brats and stupid marines.

His identity was Lokstar D. Enzo, a master swordsman only bested by the likes of Dracule Mihawk in terms of swordsmanship. He joined the Neo-Rocks Pirate as First Mate after suffering a humiliating defeat from the Captain of the Infamous Pirate Crew.

Enzo in appearance was a handsome man with dark skin and long, white hair that was mostly tied in a ponytail. He also had green eyes and is considerably tall and handsome. He was wearing a long, black trench coat over a black dress shirt and black pants.

"So where are we heading now, Captain?" He asked tersely.

The Captain hummed and rubbed his chin. He then went to walk towards the table where a large map was placed.

"Now?... Hmm… Tell me Enzo, where is Straw Hat's next destination?" He asked which surprised Enzo at the mention of that particular pirate crew.

In his opinion, The Straw Hat Pirates are incredibly lucky and also incredibly naive but surely worthy of respect. Not many people have the courage to confront a Shichibukai like Crocodile and tear down a marine stronghold in Paradise like Enies Lobby and live to tell the tale. Enzo was aware that there was some history between his Captain and the Captain of the Straw Hats Pirates, Monkey D. Luffy but what history? That he or any other member of the crew didn't know.

The only thing they knew was that this Luffy is a highly important person in the Captain's Life.

Enzo looked at the map before answering "Oh…. Captain, They are inside the Florian Triangle so it's hard to tell where their next destination will be.."

The Captain nodded "Florian Triangle? Isn't that where that Bastard Moria is hiding?" There was an edge in his voice at the mention of that Shichibukai.

"Yes.. Captain" Enzo affirmed with slight hesitation.

There was a tense silence between the two before the Captain broke it with a sigh and waved his arm in dismissal "No matter, forget about Moria. We both know where the Straw Hat's final destination in Paradise will be."

Enzo looked at his Captain in confusion before gasping.

"Sabaody Archipelago!… Wait? Aren't they rushing it… I mean from the Intel I gathered, these kids don't even know what haki is" He exclaimed in bafflement.

"Easy there, Rumi…. Besides, I think their trip to the New World is going to get delayed. Something big is going to happen soon, I can feel it in my blood and it ain't gonna be pretty." He drawled as he stared at the open waters from his window with his eyes narrowed.

"Does it…" Enzo tried to ask but his Captain interrupted.

"involve Teach? Yeah… Do you know what happened to Ace?… Last I heard he confronted Teach at Banaro Island"

"Hai..Captain. it seems like Blackbeard got the upper hand in the two's clash." He answered with slight distaste as he said Teach's epithet.

"So..you are telling me Ace is-"

"-dead? No. Beaten? Absolutely. The worst part is that Teach gave him to the Marine in exchange for becoming a Shichibukai."

The Captain stayed silent for a few seconds before smashing his fist at the table resulting in it cracking in half.

"Goddamn it! Me and Shanks warned that Old Fuck to not fucking send Ace after that piece of shit, Blackbeard But Noooo, Bloody Prick has too much pride in his old bones. Look at what happened now! It's now going to cost him one of his sons' life." He yelled in anger.

Enzo watched from the sidelines as his Captain took his frustration out. Normally, he would've stopped it but he too was displeased at the circumstances.

Everyone from their crew hated the man known as Marshall D. Teach with a passion but that man isn't someone who should be underestimated. Shanks learned that the hard way.

He was snapped out of his thoughts when he noticed the Captain had slightly calmed down.

"Enzo, Has this news been made public?" He heard the Captain ask to which he quickly responded with;

"Not yet Captain, The world government is currently trying to keep things under wraps. They are still not ready to face Whitebeard"

The Captain looked down and closed his eyes shut, he then said;

"That's where you are wrong… Enzo. They are not just going to face Whiteboard alone"

This made Enzo blood freeze. He didn't want to believe what his Captain was implying.

"What? I don't understand."

"You are not stupid, Enzo. You definitely understand. With Ace's lineage on the line, there is going to be a damn war, at best or a pandemonium, at worst. We are going to get involved in this war. Contact Marco, I want to make an official alliance between Whitebeard Pirates and Neo-Rocks Pirates" He said as he exited the cabin and walked his way to the deck.

He then leaned on the railings and watched the open seas and looked at a dolphin jumping in the air with a small smile.

Enzo was right behind him looking at him with some uncertainty as well as concerned. He knew that his Captain wasn't the impulsive type when it comes to confrontations, especially big ones, so to make a decision like this… it made him slightly restless. He needed to understand what his Captain was thinking.

"Permission to speak freely, Captain" He asked and he watched his Captain roll his eyes.

"Permission Granted"

"Captain, Why are we going to war in the first place?" He questioned.

"Tell me, Enzo. What will happen if Newgate falls"

"..."

Enzo clamped his mouth shut and his blood turned to ice. The assumption that his Captain was making was absurd but highly possible especially given the current climate of the Grand Line. If Edward Newgate dies in this upcoming war then his death will be going to open a new can of worms like the likes of that bastard Joker whose shenanigans in the Underworld as a broker has caused many unrest or Admiral Zephyr who last he heard, had created a splinter faction of former Marines aptly named Neo Marines.

That's not even mentioning the likes of the Emperors or worse Dragon. He shuddered at the thought of the "World's Most Heinous Criminal" and what he and the Revolutionary army would do after Whitebeard's death.

"That's Right." The Captain started to speak as he looked at the Open Waters.

"Whitebeard's presence alone has deterred many powerhouses from going overboard. No matter what people think, the New World is his playground and if he dies… then that place is going to have a power vacuum. The other Emperors, World Government and the Revolutionary Army aren't gonna sit on their buttocks and act like nothing happened, they are gonna take advantage of his fall to gain more influence in the New World. This war will end the stalemate that Roger created on his death. Whitebeard's death will bring the worst monsters to light and…." He paused for a brief moment before continuing.

"Calamity will make itself known right around the corner and we will be too late to stop it." And ending it with that.

The Captain watched as his First Mate left the Deck and went inside the Cabin with a troubled look. He sighed knowing how his First Mate thought about the situation.

He might have said that he was getting involved to prevent Edward's death but that was just an excuse. The only reason why he wanted to take part was him.

His blood nephew and surrogate son; Monkey D. Luffy

That boy will definitely fight especially since his brother is the one who's in Marine Custody.

He loved that boy from the moment he met him, he loved him like family. The boy reminded so much of how his friend, Roger, was like.

It has been 20 years and even in death, you are still mocking us with that damn smile…, The Captain thought with a serene smile as he remembered the Pirate King.

If Portgas D. Ace shared blood with the Pirate King, then Luffy shared everything else.

Hell! The boy had the same wide smile and wore the same Straw Hat as Roger's did.

It was obvious that the Boy was born to do great deeds… He was unquestionably sure that his sister would be proud of what kind of man his son had become.

Thinking about his sister, his thoughts became more jumbled. Don't get him wrong, he loved his sister but he dearly wished that she didn't fall in love with the son of one of the men who killed his father.

….

He knew that he was being a hypocrite since he became friends and joined the crew of Gold Roger, the other person who killed his father.

Who is he? You may ask.

He is the Captain of the Neo-Rocks Pirates, One of the Five Emperors, Former member of Roger Pirates, Uncle and Surrogate father of Monkey D. Luffy, Brother-in-law of Monkey D. Dragon, Son-in-law of Monkey D. Garp, brother of Rocks D. Maria and son of Rocks D. Xebec.

His name is feared by many since he had a reputation of crushing his enemies with brutality, earning him the epithet "Impact King"

His name;

Rocks D. Judas…..
