Chapter 12: The Collective Gathers
Marineford
"This is an outrage!" Shouted a fierce dominating tone as a violent fist struck down on a table cracking it on impact. The owner of the voice was a large man in his late sixties with a towering and dominating height of over eight feet with short, unruly white hair. Dark brown hues glared out across the room looking down in disdain upon the gathering of marines as if the owner felt they were better than the rest. Thick muscles bulged against his uniform threatening to split the material with the slightest movement.
"Calm yourself Vice Admiral Orrin there is no need for such an outburst." A soft heavenly voice, like the sound of sweet music that could soothe the fiercest of souls followed, the owner of the voice was the young Vice Admiral Momousagi. The woman one could describe as a heavenly flower sat across what could only be called her opposite in every way.
Orrin sneered at the woman, climbing to his full height in an attempt to show dominance over the others.
"A woman has no place to dictate to me!" barked the giant of a man as he clenched his fists, "You should be by your husband's side gratefully spreading your legs!"
Orrin's words came out full of disdain for the woman, his eyes glaring at her, attempting to light her temper. To him, women belonged in the home, not on the battlefield or even in positions of power. His gaze moved slightly towards Vice Admiral Tsuru glaring in her direction.
Momousagi held back a sneer from gracing those beautiful features as she flexed her might. Wills clashed as the beauty and the beast fought against one another, "And you are nought, but a sexist old pig caught up in his glory days. Oh, why don't you regale us with how you captured the pirate king? Oh, wait you didn't, you failed every time you tried! Why are you even here? What do you have to offer? You are all brawn and no brains. I'm surprised you can even spell your own name!" spoke the young woman small licks of venom spiking her words, a mocking smile making its way across seductive supple red lips. Her words only seemed to anger Orrin, especially at his failed attempts to capture Gol D. Roger. The giant's temper was at its erupting point like a volcano, and without warning the giant lunged forward across the table, hands out with a clear desire to strangle the woman.
"ENOUGH!" a powerful hand grabbed Orrin and forcibly pulled him back, throwing said giant back into a seat. Towering next to the sexist Marine was none other than Monkey D. Garp whose hand was now firmly clamped down upon Orrin's left shoulder. Garp applied pressure forcing the larger man to submit.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku could only shake his head, seated at the head of the table. His gaze fell upon the marine's; all loyal and available Vice Admirals and lone Admiral had been gathered in this room. Many had gathered from far and wide to assemble. Moving to sit directly on his left was none other than his loyal friend Monkey D. Garp. To his right was the only available Admiral Kuzan. Beside Garp was Vice Admiral Tsuru followed by Vice Admiral Momonga, Vice Admiral Issho, Vice Admiral Orrin, Vice Admiral Strawberry, Vice Admiral Claire Dufour, Vice Admiral Momousagi, and finally Vice Admiral Comil.
Sengoku rubbed the side of his temples, contemplating on how to begin. With a sigh, he came to the decision to get on with it, "I would like to ask Vice Admiral Orrin to contain himself especially during this meeting." Sengoku brought out a single remote and as he did an eight-sided screen descended from above, a new feature that was recently implemented, which settled in the middle of the table. With another flick of a button, the eight den den mushi's inside the screens opening their eyes and came to life projecting the image of a desert island onto the screens.
"To those who are unaware of its existence, this was the island in which operation 'Second Birth' was being conducted; this island happened to house our research facility for prototype weaponry that was being designed to be used against the Yonko and the Revolutionary Army." With a click of a button the Island disappeared revealing nothing but a clear blue ocean, "Up until a week ago the island existed, now its remains rest at the bottom of the sea along with the deaths of over one thousand marines and over three hundred researchers. We have also lost a facility that billions had been invested into; this was a substantial loss." Sengoku dared not to inform the gathered marines about the true purpose of operation 'Second Birth' fearing the consequences especially with Issho and Garp in the room. The two would definitely not stand for such vile experiments to be conducted.
Sengoku clipped another button bringing up an image of Admiral Borsalino. The man was lying in a white hospital bed, hooked up to all sorts of machines to aid his recovery, one even dedicated to the task of assisting his breathing, another to provide him with the necessary nutrients his body required. The man was wrapped from head to toe in bandages, an I.V drip with a seastone tip in his right arm constantly administering a dose of morphine helping to ease the pain. Sengoku proceeded to pull quite a large medical file in front of him and opened it up.
"Admiral Borsalino was found dropped off at the Marine base in Loguetown last week. From the analysis, he was suffering from head trauma specifically in the parietal lobe, frontal lobe, central sulcus and cerebellum areas. The attack resulted in severe brain damage which also led to bleeding of the frontal lobe. Until he's fully recovered, we must keep a close eye on Admiral Borsalino. Dr Vegapunk believes he will show signs of confusion, lack of concentration, memory loss, partial or even total vision loss, seizures and possibly even physical changes such as asthma, sleep disorder and even lack of stamina. So please be wary and keep a watchful eye on your fellow Marine."
"Borsalino suffered damage to his skeletal structure, specifically around the spinal cord and rib cage. Borsalino experienced a total of seventeen fractured ribs nine on the right and eight on the left side of the cage. One of the ribs dislocated and impaled the left lung, filling it with blood, by the time we got to him he was breathing blood bubbles. Damage was suffered to the T1 through to T12 vertebra, not to mention damage to the C8, L1, and L2 vertebra. To be honest, it's a miracle he's not paralysed, we can thank Dr Vegapunk for that." Sengoku raised a hand to his lips coughing to clear his throat before beginning once more.
"Of the two hundred and six bones in the human body, more than sixty percent have either broken or cracked. Scarring to eighty percent of Borsalino's back, including tissue scarring on both arms. Skin tissue and muscular structure have been compromised and require multiple surgeries with months worth of time to heal, followed by rehabilitation. It appears as if he took some drill to the back. Dr Vegapunk is doing all that can be done. We have been informed Borsalino will remain in care for the next year or two and will require regular physiotherapy and perhaps even counselling to process what he has gone through. Before you ask who could be capable of such an act, I have another subject to cover so please hold all questions to end."
Sengoku pressed the button again moving away from Borsalino to reveal Sakazuki who like Borsalino was bound from head to toe resting on a white hospital bed. The man had bandages around the right side of his face while being hooked up to multiple machines, what shocked those who were unaware of what happened the most was the sight of his missing arm.
"Sakazuki received twenty-four fractured ribs, all of which are thoroughly shattered, a miracle he lives we can thank his Akuma no Mi for that. Sakazuki suffered a blow to the chest which seemed to move in a drill like matter scarring, twisting skin and muscle, similar to Borsalino, the impact is what we believe caused such damage to his rib cage. Sakazuki suffers from damage to the parietal lobe and frontal lobe; including several hairline fractures along the length of the skull. The right side of Sakazuki face has been heavily scarred, burned to the point that none of our measures has been able to repair the damage. All sight has been lost from the right eye, the eye has been removed due to complications. Dr Vegapunk is currently working on a replacement eye." With a click of a button, Sengoku zoomed in on Sakazuki's left shoulder where all remained was a stump.
"As you will all notice our Admiral is missing his left arm. We do not know how, but it appears as if a sharp blade sliced through the clavicle while it was cauterised at the same time. Admiral Sakazuki is not taking the loss of his arm well, every time he awakens he begins screaming about a wrathful God whose dark flames shall burn us all. We have had to sedate him more than a dozen times. Like Borsalino, Admiral Sakazuki shall require therapy for his ordeal. The rest of the injuries these two received are listed in their files."
Sengoku proceeded to close his file, before moving onto the next image. As Akainu faded out the picture of the deadliest man alive appeared on the screen, "The one responsible for all this is the man nicknamed the Rubuniiru no Oni (Demon of Lvneel). As you are already aware of his previous crimes there is no need for these to be mentioned, however, he is the culprit behind the attack on Borsalino and Sakazuki. From what we have been able to gather from Borsalino during the brief times of consciousness, this man goes by the name Otsutsuki, Hagoromo."
There was whispering around the table; the marine's finally had a name to go with the face of the strange looking individual. On the Grand Line it was not unusual to find those who held a unique appearance, but very rarely did they ever seem as human as this Hagoromo, most were so different in appearance they were new species.
"Our salvage teams closed in immediately to the location of our operation to retrieve whatever could be salvaged. However, it appears someone beat us to it as we were only able to recover five percent of the material that was on the island; these include only a set of blueprints for some of the prototypes being tested. Seeing as our two Admiral's are still in intensive care, we have been unable to discover what transpired, until now thanks to Doctor Vegapunk, Doctor if you would be so kind." Addressed the Fleet Admiral folding his arms together drawing everyone's attention to a shadow behind him.
Stepping out of the shadows was someone one could only describe as, an old geezer, who wore a long white trench coat, long latex yellow gloves all the way up to his elbows, black trousers and white, yellow and purple striped shirt. The shadows covered his face hiding much of his appearance from those present.
"Thank you. With the aid of this, my mind probe!" began the doctor as he held out his right hand revealing a strange helmet-like device with wires coming out of the sides. Small sparks of electricity would arc between two antennae parallel to one another on top, "I have successfully entered deep into the psyche of our dear Admirals! Though just a prototype it provided me with what I desired!" announced the dear doctor as he moved to the control centre for the den den mushi screen. He hooked the mind probe up to a rather large den den mushi in the right corner of the room behind Sengoku, with cables attached to it's back that ran up the walls, into the roof and down into the eight mini den den mushi's by the screens.
"Gensui (Fleet Admiral) if you'd be so kind."
"Of course doctor" With a press of a button the screens came to life again as appearing on the screen was a mountain-sized orange fox with rabbit-like ears, human-like hands and nine long tails. Immediately it began to play out the battle between who they could only assume was Sakazuki as balls of lava sailed through the air from their perspective.
"This is the memory from Akainu; we are watching from his point of view. As you will no doubt notice in this battle, our dear Admiral clashed with a monstrous fox tens of metres high, if I were to estimate I would guess the beast is around eighty metres tall, over two hundred and sixty feet. With its length from head to tail being anywhere from one hundred to one hundred and fifty metres. There have been recordings of sea kings as large if not larger, the only other recording of a land beast of such titanic proportions is the elephant Zunisha who carries Zou on his back."
As the video played the marine's in the room were astounded by the fact that the giant fox was capable of not only keeping up with Akainu but match him blow for blow. The Fox was surprisingly fast, faster than it's size should even allow. Its strength could only be described as ungodly as with a single blow the Fox was capable of leaving craters on the ground. Not just only that but it breathed fire as if it was part dragon.
"As you can all see this nine-tailed fox was capable of matching Akainu, showing its impressive POWER!" dramatically shouted Vegapunk causing one or two of the Vice Admiral's to jump at the sudden rise in volume. "But it gets even better as not only is this fox tamed by this Hagoromo Otsutsuki, but the best is yet to come."
The Doctor gave them a knowing smirk as he turned the volume up. As he did Hagoromo stepped into the fray and commanded the fox, whose name was revealed as Kurama, to stand down saying it was his turn to fight that was when the beast opened its mouth and sent all the marine's into a frenzy.
"And here I was just getting warmed up. I expect you to make this up to me, Hagoromo!"
Even the usually laid-back Kuzan was taken by the beast's ability to speak. The marine's present couldn't believe their eyes, this fox was intelligent, even though it only said two sentences; each sentence was clear and precise revealing an intelligent being behind those demonic red hues.
Orrin climbed to his feet slammed his palms onto the table, "THIS IS ABSURD! A talking beast! I demand we hunt this creature down and discover its secrets! Send me after this beast, Gensui-sama I shall retrieve its head for you!" barked the hot-headed Vice Admiral, earning a cold glare from Vice Admiral Momounga.
"You wish to experiment on this wondrous creature? While it is most unusual, this Kurama is intelligent and has the right to his life, not to be hunted down like some dog! Besides even if you were allowed to do so, do you think you have a chance at capturing it? This Kurama can stand toe to toe with Admiral Akainu, and would most kill you before you had the chance to blink. What a complete imbecile, as I said too much brawn, not enough brains, only able to think with that sad peanut sized tool between your legs" spoke the young woman, she always enjoyed putting Orrin down. He was nothing but an oaf, a foolish old man who thought with only two things his muscles and dick.
"What did you say wench!" barked Orrin as his fingers dug into the table denting it.
"ENOUGH! Settle down the both of you" barked Sengoku; it was just too much having these two in the same room as one another, of course, that wasn't to say he didn't agree with Momounga, "How did that idiot even get to be a Vice Admiral? Even Garp has more brains than this imbecile, and that is saying something."
"Doctor if you'd please continue" came the soft elderly voice of Vice-Admiral Tsuru drawing everyone's attention to her, "I wish to see what happens next. So please no more interruptions especially you Orrin." The old woman levelled a glare towards the giant muscle-bound fool a glare that promised unrelenting pain if he dared to interrupt the meeting once more, it was obvious the old woman had not intentions with putting up with the man any longer.
Vegapunk cleared his throat as the video resumed, "As you all see this Kurama dissolved into some strange red energy that was absorbed into Hagoromo the moment they bumped fists. Up until now, Hagoromo had been in the research facility, doing who knows what as all surveillance tapes were lost. We were already aware of a fraction of Hagoromo's abilities, but this truly opens the eyes. Documented so far have been his enormous physical strength, high-speed movement, metal repulsion, earth manipulation, fire manipulation, water manipulation, wind manipulation, explosive force generation, lava manipulation and of course high-speed regeneration. To what extent do his powers reach we have yet to discover, but this video unveils deeper into the menagerie of the man's abilities."
Vegapunk remained silent allowing the audience to watch the battle play out. As the movie played it revealed Hagoromo being replaced by a dead marine, deeper revealing his control over lava and perhaps showing an even higher control over the fire with the production of six odd spheres each looking like a miniature sun. It was by this point Vegapunk jumped back in as Sakazuki and Hagoromo clashed as a specific scene played out, the very scene one where Sakazuki magma consumed limb was engulfed by orange flames.
"If you pay attention you will take notice of the fact Akainu is registering pain. And as Akainu retreats there is no mistaking the appearance of third-degree burns on his right arm. There have been many theories when it comes to logia fruits if two logia users with powers of parallel aligned elements were to clash which power would overpower the other. An example would be Akainu's Magu Magu no Mi and a consumer of the Mera Mera no Mi (Flame Flame Fruit). The Mera Mera no Mi is inferior to the Magu Magu no Mi in the Devil Fruit hierarchy. Magma is of a naturally higher order than fire allowing it to overwhelm the Mera's powers. It is because of this I suspect that whatever those strange light orbs are they exist on an even higher plane than the Magu Magu no Mi. As we continue to watch, we see that these miniature suns if you will, with a single touch evaporate the liquid within the body leaving behind a mummified corpse."
"As the battle continues Hagoromo was able to counter each and every one of Akainu's moves with relative ease demonstrating his extensive arsenal. Only at one point do we hear him name these odd flames, Shakuton: Kajousatsuryu meaning Scorch Release: Extremely Steaming Murder Dragon. Scorch the very name is precise for such techniques, such powerful flames capable searing everything they touch. This makes him an incredibly deadly foe, but as the fight goes on, more of his unique traits are revealed."
Soon the screens became split screen as Borsalino entered the fray barely saving Sakazuki's life. Now they would be viewing the fight from two different points. By now they were watching as Hagoromo moved at speeds that rivalled Borsalino's Pika Pika no Mi, becoming a flash of white. The surprise that registered on the faces of all present was clear as day; some even showed disbelief, other's outrage while the rest fear.
"By the expressions on your face's, you have all come to realise that this Otsutsuki, Hagoromo can not only see but move at light speed, as he managed to avoid Kizaru-san more than once, showing it was no fluke. What is remarkable was his ability to catch Kizaru's kick and to seem to drain all his powers. While distracted by Kizaru, Akainu managed to land a single blow upon Hagoromo damaging his facial structure, but it was fruitless as he was able to regenerate from such a fatal injury, showing that this Hagoromo is more than meets the eye, as no one should be able to survive such an attack. I am curious to discover what makes him so unique. But I put my curiosity aside so I may continue. This strange new technique that takes the form of a spiralling sphere with rings was named the Suiton: Rasengan, Water Release Spiraling Sphere could bypass Sakazuki's defence penetrating not only his Haki but his Magu Magu no Mi. And so it should with a name so adequately put as 'Water Release'. Meaning this Hagoromo can harm all Devil Fruit's without the use of seastone or haki, as I am firmly in the belief that he is not using Haki, as to what it is I have yet to discover."
Vegapunk cleared his throat as the battle played out coming to a draw as Hagoromo displayed his power over the lava element unleashing a tsunami of molten rock that dwarfed Sakazuki's own.
"It is evident from viewing this that, Akainu's control over magma pales in comparison to Hagoromo's as he was effortlessly able to create a wall of lava greater than Akainu's own. Though not only do we witness two new abilities, but a third, control over sand so high it puts the Suna Suna no Mi (Sand Sand Fruit) to shame as Hagoromo was able to control a vast amount of sand without breaking a sweat. He effortlessly commands it to attack Kizaru and Akainu, showing his deadly prowess with it by catching Kizaru unaware and crushing him, luckily our Admiral is a logia user and was unharmed."
"This is perhaps where we now see our foes most powerful ability, the power to create life!" declared Vegapunk as he swung his arms out to the side dramatically as the video revealed Hagoromo bringing his hands together.
"Mokuton Hijutsu: Jukai Koutan (Wood Release Secret Technique: Nativity of a World of Trees)!"
Before the eyes of all marine's present, through those of two Admiral's, they witnessrf what could only be called the act of a God. Before them, they watched as life was given to a barren wasteland, as a thick, lush forest of giant oak tree's came to life. Trunks and roots were bursting up from the ground rising high up into the heavens, reaching higher than anything they had ever seen.
"How is this possible? To create such life in a barren wasteland?" Came the voice of the third female in the room. Her voice was soft with a unique accent towards it, one could only describe as foreign, yet it was pleasant to the ears one could even say it was alluring as if one was visited upon by a siren. The alluring vocals belonged to Clare Dufour a woman in her early thirties with long locks of gold that flowed like a river down to the ground. Her face was heart shaped with big blue eyes, defined nose, rosy red lips, snow white skin and bright teeth, wearing a long black dress, frills around the edge. A Vice Admiral coat sat on her shoulders while she sat cross-legged, giving the appeal of a dainty woman in black gothic clothing.
"We...do not know. I can only theorise that whatever power Hagoromo possesses he is capable of harnessing it to create life itself. The sheer size of those magnificent trees unveils how truly terrifying this man is. With his power, he can create such dense, lush forest in a barren land. Scientists for years have conducted countless experiments to accomplish this, all have failed." Vegapunk turned back to the scene, eying the giant forest created by Hagoromo, if only he could harness this power, he must discover the secrets behind this man.
Vegapunk brought his focus back to the meeting, nodding a head to Sengoku who pressed play. The scene startedd playing as a great blaze encompassed the forest, followed by a blade of lightning piercing through Borsalino's abdomen and slicing him in half. As for the Admiral's attack, Hagoromo was struck by molten rock only to vanish in a cloud of smoke. Sakazuki was suddenly hit by surprise and covered in water, in that instant, a strange spiralling sphere hit him. As the scene continued the appearance of two Hagoromo's caused a rise from the Marines.
"THERE'S TWO OF THEM!" shouted Orrin as he rose from his chair fists slamming onto the table, eyes widened in disbelief.
Vegapunk resisted the urge to roll his eyes at the big oaf's antics, "Yes there is two. My theory is Hagoromo can make doppelganger, clone himself if you would. How? Again unknown we do not have enough information on this individual even with all that has been revealed. The source of his strength we are clueless too. " It was during Vegapunk's words that a scream tore all marine's to the screen.
On the screen was Sakazuki from Borsalino's perspective screaming in pain, as Hagoromo held onto the right of Sakazuku's face, flames burning away at the Admiral's skin. As the Magu Magu no Mi user attempted to break free his left arm was claimed in a vice grip from the horned man. The screens merged allowing them all to see from the terrified eyes of Sakazuki. They could only watch as Hagoromo summoned two sets of flames, black along his right arm and orange along the left. The orange flames moved across his body coiling around the man's right arm fusing with the fires of hell.
"Shakuton Enton: Kyokudo Shoukyaku Yaiba (Scorch Release and Blaze Release: Extreme Incineration Sword)!"
They all watched on in silent horror as those twisted flames shaped into a double-edged blade, and with one swing, it was brought down. In that instant, they all watched through Sakazuki's eyes as the blazing sword relieved him of his left arm. Their eyes widened as the amputated limb wrinkled before crumbling away into dust under the power of the intense flames. The sheer brutality the man possessed, even going a step to stomp on Sakazuki stump made a few of the marine's wince.
"Listen and listen well! I'm letting you and your comrade live, not out of mercy, but because I have a message to deliver. I'm strong enough to take two admiral's on and nearly kill them without any effort. This is my power! I will use this strength to destroy the World Government! Understood! I will crush the World Government and the Marines! I will wipe out the Tenryubito! I will destroy all evil in this world and this so-called 'Absolute Justice'. I will bring about peace by eliminating the current regime! This era will be purged so that a new one can begin!"
All marine's present listened carefully to the message. Some gawked at this man's sheer audacity proclaiming that he would destroy the World Government. Few raged internally at the goal this man had, while others simply sat and reflected on his words.
"Such conviction. It makes me want to believe that Hagoromo will achieve his goals." The blind marine leant back in his chair, right hand resting on his cane. His eyes shut as he allowed himself to soak in everything he had heard, "Hagoromo is not someone the World Government should underestimate. Not only is his power great, but also the power behind his words. He has such conviction, truly believing in his cause. The world has changed. The world was one big gamble between fractions. Those that held the most cards held the most power. The World Government, the Tenryubito, the Marines, the Pirates, the Shichibukai and the Yonko. Now a new power has shown itself, and Otsutsuki, Hagoromo holds all the cards in his hands. He is the house, and we are all playing on his table on his terms. He has already started making ripples in the water that will soon turn into waves. I look forward to seeing if you will achieve your goals." Issho forced back a smile, keeping his expression stagnant not revealing an inch of emotion.
"After much deliberation with the Gorosei, it has been decided that this 'man's' bounty shall be raised. We have decided that due to the threat this man possesses his bounty shall be increased and be marked with a 'Do No Approach' order for all marines. As of this moment, Otsutsuki Hagoromo has a bounty of five billion beri on his head! He has been given the title of the Strongest Man Alive. Under much deliberation he has been nicknamed The Natural Disaster'" announced Sengoku allowing a quiet hush to fall upon the marine's, as they allowed this information to sink in slowly.
At the sheer size of the bounty, many of the Marine's present had to stop themselves from falling out of their chair's. Orrin was the first to rise climbing to his feet, "Surely this is a joke! To give this man such a bounty and an obscene title is too much!" Argued the sexist marine.
"It is not your decision to make Orrin. The Gorosei have put their foot down and have already begun printing the new posters. Aside from Otsutsuki, Hagoromo the fox Kurama has been given a bounty, two billion beri and the title Youko Kurama (Demon Fox Kurama) the 'Strongest Creature in the World'. If there are no more interruptions, I would like to continue to the next object of our agenda!" Sengoku flexed his might to force his Marines to regain themselves and retake their seats for the next agenda on their meeting list.
"Due to the rise of Otsutsuki Hagoromo, numerous pirates have begun to increase their activity seeing him as an example to live up to. Notable amongst these, is the Yonko (Four Emperors) each has grown considerably in operation in an attempt to outdo the other, and this Hagoromo seeing him as an up and coming rival. As such the Gorosei has decided to increase their bounties as well. First Edward Newgate 'Whitebeard' has claimed countless territories under his flag and recruited numerous Rising Stars into his crew. His bounty shall be raised from seventy hundred and fifty million to, two billion. The second Pirate to break the billion beri threshold." Announced Sengoku, but was cut off as his Marines began to release cries of outrage.
Sengoku slammed a fist on the table silencing them, "I was not finished." Sengoku awaited for silence to reign again before he deemed to continue.
"Second Akagami no Shankusu (Shanks of the Red Hair) has pilfered the Marine's rum stores from bases G10 through to G25 and caused millions in damage. His bounty will be raised from six hundred and twenty million to one in a half billion beriā¦" He levelled a glare to keep everyone silent knowing that an outburst was soon to follow with the announcement of the third pirate to break the billion beri barrier, "Third the Beast Pirate's Kaido and Jack. Kangai no Jakku (Jack the Draught) former bounty of four hundred million Beri will be raised to five hundred and seventy thousand for the destruction of a Marine Battalion. Hyakujuu no Kaidou (Kaido of the Beast's) who has miraculously survived execution again has had his previous bounty of six hundred million raised to one in a half billion beri."
Sengoku paused as he raised the last of the new bounties to eye level. He let the pause continue allowing everything to sink in.
"Finally Biggu Mamu (Big Mom) Charlotte Linlin Captain of the Big Mom Pirates. She has wiped out some small islands off the Coast of the East Blue for not delivering the agreement set with her. Her bounty will be raised from half a million to one billion beri." Sengoku finished his briefing and sunk into his chair, feeling exhausted. All these Pirate's were giving him a headache.
"The Yonko and Hagoromo are all individuals who surpass common sense. They are beings who stand above all others. Some more than others. The Yonko we have a chance to stand against, but Hagoromo, I fear that we have truly angered some God who has decided to descend from Heaven to wipe us from existence." These thoughts filled Sengoku with fear, did he or anyone within the Marine's have the power to stand against this mighty giant. If the time came, he would have to organise the strongest Marines to accompany him into battle against this monstrous beast.
"Hagoromo Otsutsuki, where did you come from?"
