For the next few hundred years or so Nature continued to cleanse herself of the filth that existed with the occasional few were accepted and protected within the sanctuary.

Continents slowly broke apart into islands and water took over. Weather was erratic and people tried to cope. Soon, nations started to rebuild. New kingdoms rose, the creation of the log pose came about and spread though the seas making navigation easier, but there still wasn't order.

Then twenty families came together and formed the organization that became known as the World Government. The original purpose of the organization was to lead, govern, and protect the masses. But as it was with balance, to counter order there was chaos. That came in the form of piracy and corruption.

The twenty families, nineteen now as the Nefertari family left, became known as the Creators of the World. Their descendants became drunk on power, daring to call themselves Celestial Dragons, putting their lives and demands above that of everyone else. The corrupt government bent backwards to accommodate to the demands of the drunken fools. The Marines, the ones that were supposed to protect, became the lapdogs of the government.

Corruption

Genocide

Slavery

All carried out in the name of Justice and the World Government.

They tried so hard to cover up their atrocities. Manipulation of the media, propaganda and more even genocides. Soon it became a normality for all those to exist. The masses went along, praying daily that they do not catch the attention of the World Government and those affiliated with it.

Through the power and influence of the World Government, history was buried and the rest of the world moved on.

Knowledge about the world that existed before the formation of islands was also lost to the majority except for a few. Those that became known as the Gorosei, the Five Elders, still knew about the world that existed before the islands. The island of scholars, Ohara, never forgot. They came to a mutual understanding and to an extent, friendship, with one another. At times their leaders got together to talk and reminisce together about the lost history they both still knew about.

But then the World Government killed off the scholars without the consent of the Gorosei. An Admiral who was known for his preaching of Absolute Justice realized that the Oharians were able to read the dead language of the previous age and panicked at the thought of the knowledge and power that they could gain. The only thing that prevent Elders from executing all those that took part in the genocide was for the sole fact that a child survived. They tried to protect her and aid her in discrete ways. A random but not unwelcome lady taking pity on her and giving her a bag full of beli, food and some extra clothes. The lack of marines in the areas that she found shelter in. Recent photos of her that were taken to update her bounty photo were mysteriously lost or accidentally burned. So time passed and they mourned the loss of the Oharians and the loss of a D.

Then came the problems of the Pirate Age that was set off by Gol D Roger, the Pirate King. Not all pirates were like the Whitebeard pirates or the Red Hair Pirates who did not carry out atrocities like many others. With an influx in crime rate across the seas, so did the number of marines and as a by-product, corruption and power. But despite the chaos raging throughout, there was still a semblance of order.

Yonko, the Four Emperors of the Seas. They commanded and protected their vast territories.

Admirals, the highest tier of the Marines. All three were the Marines' final stronghold, and enforces of Justice.

Shichibukai, the Seven Warlords. Fearsome pirates that were protected by the Government but were to obey orders.

Then came the Revolutionaries. The World Government were prepared for riots against slavery or corruption, but they had not been prepared for the scale that the Revolutionaries operated at. There was no island that they did not operated on, no organization that they had not infiltrated, no street where even the most average looking person may be a spy and just casually listening in on the conversations of passing Marines . The man leading it, Monkey D Dragon, was labelled with the title of "World's Most Dangerous Criminal" but some could not help but feel indebted to him, even within the World Government. Despite bringing several nations down and directly opposing the World Government, they had freed slaves and removed some of the rotten roots from the world.

Each generation had someone who stood at the top. First it was Gol D Roger, then it was Monkey D Dragon. Finally, the one who will come to be at the forefront of the Worst Generation, Monkey D Luffy. The only son of Revolutionary Dragon, holder of the Pirate King's hat and legacy and most importantly, he was someone who strongly carried the Will of D.

The Gorosei knew of his birth almost immediately as they did with all D's. But they did not interfere, no, they are not allowed to interfere with the fate of a D. The Elders can only interfered with something if it was of paramount importance to the world. But the actions of the marines were sometimes out of their control. Ohara was one instance, the slaughter of mothers and newborn babies was another as the fear of someone existing with the Pirate King's blood terrified many.

Yet the dead cannot be brought back to life and thus time passed again. The child of the Pirate King and a runaway noble met each other and become friends. Then another D joined and they drank to brotherhood. But the Celestial Dragons brought death and destruction in their wake, causing the D's to lose a brother and gain a newfound hate for the nobles.

Years later the older one set out to sea, determined to blaze a path brighter than his father's. Instead he gained a new father and joined one of the largest families to exist.

The younger headed out several years later, creating bonds and bringing about a never seen before change in his wake.

As the older brother sailed under his father's flag, Pops as they so fondly called him, he thought he knew all of the powers that existed in the world he lived in. What he did not know was that there was another power that existed. A power that only the Gorosei and a few other know about, the last remining Oharian, his Pops, and the late Pirate King included. He, along with so many others, did not know that they called this power 'brother'.

The power and influence now known as Marco the Phoenix.

Previously known as Harry Potter.

The Master of Death.
