The light speed admiral
Chapter 2 : Sengoku's orders
(Kizaru's point of view)
Kizaru and Momonga had left his office and was nearing sengoku's office on the top floor.
"Sooo what did Sengoku wish to speak about?" Kizaru asked
"He mentioned something about some pirates on an island making trouble south from here, sir." Momonga replied
"Hmmm, it is quite strange that regular pirates would cause such a stir for Sengoku to personally ask you to get me." Kizaru said
"I know, it seems very strange to me. Something big must be happening I just don't know what." Momonga said
"We will just have to wait for a briefing won't then" Kizaru said with a smile.
Kizaru and Momonga reach Sengoku's office to find him going over the documents spread across the table in the centre of the room. He notices Kizaru and Momonga and walks over to them.
"Ah Kizaru there you are." Sengoku said
"Yes I'm here as you requested sir." said Kizaru
"Well then come take a seat, you as well vice admiral this involves both of you." Sengoku ordered
Kizaru took his seat at the table facing Sengoku with Momonga on his left.
"Now the reason I called you here is because a large pirate crew have been station on an island south of here and they have been harassing many local traders in the area." Sengoku said
"How many pirates are we talking about sir?" Momonga asked
"Roughly over three hundred." Sengoku replied
"That many on one trading island?" Kizaru asked confused
"Yes and I've gotten an emergency report from a marine ship posted in the area before the connection on the den-den mushi was broken. He said that there was roughly over two hundred pirates on the island and roughly fifty to a hundred pirates on the main beach alone. Along with two large ships and one smaller ship. He also has suspicions that the captains and or some of the crew members are devil fruit users judging the amount of power required to keep a large group of pirates at bay." Sengoku explained
"Sir with that many pirates they might be looking at trying to claim the island and putting pressure on the locals. I must say it is quite bold move to do so in marine territory." Momonga said
"Ahhhh that is troublesome. I assume you wish for Momonga and Myself to head out and deal with this problem?" Kizaru asked
"Yes I need you to head out immediately and keep them from harming innocents and claiming the island as a new hideout. Normally I would not send an admiral, but the sheer numbers alone and with the distance the island is to Marineford they're either really brave or have some sort of power that seems to give them so much confidence to set up shop there so I'm sending you in. So try not to use too much force, if you have to kill them then kill them otherwise bring them back in chains and we'll transport them to one of the prison facilities." said Sengoku
"Yes sir." said Kizaru and Momonga in unison
Sengoku heads back over to his desk to continue on with his paperwork as Kizaru and Momonga leave his office.
"Well I guess this day just got interesting. From boring paperwork to pirate hunting." Kizaru chuckled
"Yes well it is still very alarming over three hundred out of nowhere." said Momonga
"I guess the Navy has been slacking off more than usual." Kizaru said
"Regardless, we should head for the ship, sir." Momonga said
Kizaru and Momonga Headed for one of the ships currently docked at the harbor, the marines around the ship gave a salute towards their superiors as they prepared to set sail for their destination.
"Sir, we are prepared and ready to set a course for Hookbait island." said one of the marines.
"Ohhh good well let's leave then shall we." said Kizaru
"Vice Admiral do you have any suggestions on what we should do? I mean we should strategize especially for the numbers we're facing." aksed Kizaru
"Hmmph, considering we only have one ship that Sengoku allowed us to use I think he wanted us to complete this task with just the two of us, sir. In saying that we should find a place to dock so that our other comrades do not get themselves overwhelmed in the conflict." Momonga responded
"Well there is a spot on the western part of the island that has a small rock bed we can use for a makeshift port, so we'll head there and both you and I will head forward to assess the situation." said Kizaru
"Understood, Sir." said Momonga
The trip between Marineford and Hook bait island was not a long journey due to the distance. Probably less than four hours with the crew working as hard and as efficiently as they could. Kizaru could see the island from this distance clearly now, taking out a telescope he sees Two large ships and a smaller one too.
"Just like what Sengoku said during the briefing. Well no matter, I'll get to the bottom of this" thought Kizaru
Just as he finished his thought the ship was nearing the western half of the island and out of possible view of the ships.
[Hookbait Island]
"Sir, we have ancored and are ready to move out." said the random marine
"No that will not be necessary, you will all remain here until both myself and Vice Admiral Momonga return understand? Though if we do not return by sundown call for reinforcements." Kizaru ordered
"Yes sir." responded the marine
"Okay are you ready Momonga?" Kizaru asked
"Yes, I'm prepared to show these pirates that we marines uphold justice no matter the numbers." Momonga replied
Kizaru and Momonga stepped off the ship and down the boarding plank and began to make there way to the small jungle path a little further inland from where the ship was docked. Twenty five minutes later they reached the outskirts of the village where they were soon surprised with dead bodies that lay on the ground with some strange substance shining off in the sunlight.
[Outskirts of Hookbait Village]
The two marines had made it to the outskirts of the village when the came across a large pile of bodies stacked against the outer wall of the village.
"What is this? They looked to have been poisoned but it looks like they were beaten, no tortured first beforehand." said Momonga as he continued to observe the body in front of him.
"Well this is not good, not good at all. Momonga look closely at the uniform on the body over near the wall on the right. He is wearing a marine uniform." said Kizaru
"Oh my god, he must have been from the marines stationed here but…" started Momonga as he turns to face Kizaru who was looking at a group of corpses to the other end of the wall.
"Sir?" ask Momonga
"Look at them, One woman and a small child." said Kizaru
"The same injuries as the rest of the other corpses." Said Momonga
"No, this woman's clothes were torn to shreds and there appears to be bruises around her lower body from her stomach down to her thighs. There is also rope marks around her wrists, whoever did this not only tortured these men and poisoned them, they also most likely raped this poor young lady, then she suffered the same fate when they were done with her." Explained Kizaru with his smile slowly fading.
Momonga clenches his fist in anger and rage, but keeps calm because if he wants to deliver justice to the monster who did this so he needs to remain focused.
"Whoever did this to these people will not leave this island alive." stated Momonga
"I know, but we must save any survivors that we can it is our job to uphold justice and we shall. Now the main square should not be too far from here." said Kizaru
Upon discovery of the corpse pile towards the outerwall Kizaru and Momonga head forward to the town square to see if they can find survivors. But along the way that idea seems near impossible as the further they moved to the centre of the town more bodies continued to appear along with burned down houses.
"This is madness these pirates have been only recently reported and within less than two days this town seems to have been massacred ." said Momonga
"We need to have faith that there are some survivors, but if there isn't then we focus on the pirate horde. Said Kizaru
Momonga took a step forward to continue walking, though stopped in his tracks as he felt someone watching the two marines.
"Sir, do you sense it?" said Momonga quietly
Kizaru only nodded his head and then tilted it towards the pile large of rubble in the corner.
"Soru!"
Momonga disappeared from where he was standing faster than the eye could see, but for Kizaru he could still see him because to him it was extremely slow in comparison to his speed. Momonga draws his blade and slashed the stone debris in half revealing a frightened man with burn marks on his face and two small children, one with black hair and gold eyes and another shorter girl with black hair and brown eyes shaking behind the man Kizaru presumed to be theri father. They looked like they had been through hell.
"Please, Please, Please don't kill us! We promise not to tell don't take us away please I beg of you." said the frightened man mistaking them for the pirates who burned half the town to the ground.
At that moment the children shook violently and began to cry. Momonga seeing no danger sheathed his blade and placed his hands in the air as a sign of peace.
"Listen were not here to harm you or your family, We are marines sent from headquarters I'm Admiral Kizaru and this is Vice Admiral Momonga." said Kizaru with a friendly smile.
"Marines? Oh thank you god, thank you for not forgetting us. An admiral and a vice admiral that makes me feel slightly better." said the man
"Sir, may I please ask for you name." asked Kizaru
"Oh yes my name is Morgan, Morgan Kenchi. These are my children Kallai and Chiyo" said Morgan
"I am sorry, you must be feeling ragged but can you tell us something about the crew that did this and if there are any other survivors?" asked Kizaru
"Ah yes some of the remaining civilians decided to hide at the Sunflower Orphanage because it was large enough for the adults and multiple children. There's about two thousand people living in this village but I think there is around half of them left alive now." answered Morgan
Momonga looks down in shame for not arriving sooner to stop this. Kizaru places his hand on his shoulder, reminding him that this scum will be brought to justice.
"So are most of the survivors at the orphanage now?" asked Kizaru
"Only a few families could fit and hide in there and like I said we were on our way but it was too scary to move in case they came looking for survivors, we hid behind the debris." said Morgan
"If that's the case then, there is at least over a thousand people unaccounted for." said Momonga
"Most of the people or the women and children were taken to the beach to be sold as sex slaves, while the men were almost all killed in the initial assault including the marines stationed here. All I heard was a man going by the name Sliver is running the crew or is at least one of the higher ups given the way these pirates were talking about the man." said Morgan
"Hmmmmmm is there anything else about him that you know of?" inquired Kizaru
"No sir that was all I could hear, I was more focused on hiding." said Morgan
"Where is the orphanage? we'll escort you and then we will head to the beach to deal with the pirates." said Kizaru in a slow tone
"It's not to far from here, it's the building with the yellow sunflower over there." said Morgan as he looked towards the roof of a building with a large flower painted on it.
"Well then let's go." said Kizaru as he begins the walk towards the Orphanage.
With some luck the two marines found three survivors of this massacre and are now currently escorting the man named Morgan and his two daughters Chiyo and Kallai. The walk is very quiet and few words are spoken until they reach a spot near the fence on the side of the orphanage to sneak in through.
"Thank you both so much for helping us make it here really thank you." said Morgan with gratitude
"Aaahhhh it was no problem, it was good to help out now if you'll excuse us we must get going." Kizaru said with his carefree tone.
As Kizaru and Momonga are about to make their departure from the family, the two little girls jump from their fathers arms and proceed to run up and hug Kizaru's long leg.
"Ehhh what is this." said Kizaru as he looked down to see the children clinging to him.
"Please be careful." said Chiyo
"And show those monsters who's boss!" said Kallai with a strong look in her golden eyes.
"Hmm that Kallai has the look worthy of the marine corps at such a young age." thought Kizaru
"Don't worry you two Momonga and myself will show these pirates the true power of justice." said Kizaru
"Justice what is that?" the girls said confused
"Justice is what gives us marines the power to protect the innocent and destroy those who wish to harm innocents and their lands for their own pleasure. We uphold those ideals in different forms, though most marines follow absolute justice I personally follow my own sense of justice, Unclear justice. Because I believe in viewing both sides of the spectrum and try my best to prioritize the safety of civilians rather than let them suffer and focus solely on pirates. In my eyes, pirates can be evil though the innocents I protect will always be more important to me than some degenerate though there are some pirates that do need to be hunted in advance for the protection of the seas." said Kizaru with an almost prideful tone in his voice.
The two girls looked at Kizaru in awe, especially Kallai and are wondering maybe if they could have their own way of justice to follow when they grow up. Morgan looked at the admiral with a smile on his face and was glad to have him here. Even Momonga looked at Kizaru with admiration and despite his carefree attitude he is very fit to be a marine in his eyes.
"Girls, come on we need to hide let's go." said Morgan
"Yes daddy." said the Chiyo and Kallai
As trio was leaving Kallai stopped for a brief moment and looked back at Kizaru, Smiling she continued to walk with her family silently praying that their saviors returned in one piece. The admirals proceeded to the beach to confront these monsters and to find this man called Silver, that Morgan mentioned before.
[Hookbait Main Beach]
Kizaru and Momonga had finally made it to the main beach where they looked on in shock to see blood covering the sand, women in cages and laughing pirates.
"Morgan was right, there are women and children locked up in those cages." said Momonga
"Yes and there are probably more people locked up on the ships." said Kizaru
"Well what is the plan sir?" asked Momonga
"I'm going to make an appearance, then i'll distract them while you unlock the cages and quietly lead them away from here. Then I will engage them and lure out any others and possibly the captain as well. It's the quickest thing I could think of on the spot." said Kizaru
"I'm ok with that plan, just give me the signal to free the prisoners or if you need assistance sir." said Momonga
"Don't you worry about old me, but as for the signal you'll know it when you see it." Kizaru said with a grin.
(Mysterious Pirate point of view)
"Hehehehehehe I wonder how much we can get if we sell this one, she looks like a good enough whore. Maybe I'll throw kid in with her and get some more money." said the mysterious pirate
"Captain Silver, Sir we have some new meat to taste tonight." said the pirate with a disgusting grin
"Well then tonight will be very interesting indeed. This was one of my best ideas, so many people to use at my pleasure hehehehehe I love it with all my being." said the man known as Silver
"So how was some of the product, the last I checked half of them were still crying when I left them. If they know what's good for them they will shut the fuck up. If they can't do that then what good are they worth. A decent toy but too noisy. Said Silver annoyed at his so called "product".
"I'm sorry sir, well have them trained and ready for delivery sir." said the pirate
Just as he finished talking Silver grabbed the pirate's faces with his hand and smashed the back of his head into the wall.
"I DID NOT ASK FOR A FUCKING APOLOGY I WANT SOME RESULTS YOU IDIOT." said Silver who's mood changed almost immediately.
"Oh great you got blood on my fucking shoes! Oi someone get in here now and clean this idiot of my floor." Silvers ordered
A guard walks in sees the unconscious pirate and quickly gets to moving him. Silver looks at both of them and thinks of one word "weak".
"Man, is there no one around here who isn't a big fucking coward. I need a challenge, Ah who am I kidding the only challenge I could get is out in the new world." said Silver as he stepped on the unconscious pirate and into the next room to get some rest for tonight's feast.
(Kizaru's point of view)
"Ok Momonga hide behind the barrier over to left and wait on my signal then free the prisoners, remember to be as fast as you can be." said Kizaru
"Yes sir." said Momonga
Momonga quickly takes his position while Kizaru calmly walks down the stairs to the beach.
"These pirates don't know what there in for." Kizaru thought
The pirates took notice of Kizaru and ran forward rifles aimed at his head.
"Hold it there old man what do you think your doing?" demanded one of the pirates
"Oooohh well it is my job to deal with you cretins, after all I am a marine." Kizaru responded
Kizaru saw more pirates, just his luck that all of them are in the same place. At least if he kills them all he could do in one location and not have to search the rest of the island for anymore of them.
"Oi, someone get captain Silver out here!" shouted one of the pirates
One of the pirate grunts went to alert the captain of Kizaru's appearance. Kizaru had deduced that they must obviously be a new pirate crew or at least one not familiar with these seas if they could not recognise him or his coat that shows his officer ranking.
OKAY WHICH ONE OF YOU DECIDED TO WAKE ME UP OVER ONE MARINE, ONE MARINE! I SWEAR I'LL TEAR YOUR FUCKING HEAD OFF AND FEED IT TO THE SHARKS!" said Silvers angrily
Slivers jumps high into the air and lands on the sandy surface, Kizaru wonders if it is a natural ability or if it is a learned one instead. Walks up until he is in front of the tall man and looks up to see his face.
"Heehehehehehe you're one tall bastard." said Silver laughing
Kizaru still has the same smile on his face as he looks down to Silver.
"Ooohh so your Captain Silver then, I expected a little more but nevermind." said Kizaru
"Hehehehehe your funny, I wonder how funny you'll be after I cut your tongue out." Silver threatened cheerfuly.
"Trust me when I say that won't be happening today." said Kizaru
"Hehehehehehe sure it won't. I like you, let me see if you can handle these weaklings then I'll let you humor me eh?" said Silver with a broken smile on his face.
Kizaru smiles and nods his head at the challenge.
"Alright boys we got ourselves a marine who thinks he's top shit let's show him how we handle maggots who get in our way, Hehehehe first guy to kill him gets a reward and any whore here of their choosing." Said Silver
"YEAH!" said the pirates
The pirates surrounded the Admiral with some pulling out their blades and guns, there was even a large pirate with a giant cannon taking aim at him. All that ran through Kizaru's mind was that they were only delaying the inevitable. Kizaru steps forward to one of the pirates in front of him and the rest aim their weapons to his head, while he had his hands in his pockets.
"Hello there, can I ask you something?" inquired the Admiral
"What." said the pirate grunt
"Have you ever been kicked at the speed of light?"
The pirate looked confused until all of a sudden it seems as if the world had gone dark and the only light being emitted from Kizaru's left leg as he pulls back with his hands in his pockets and kicks the pirate off the island. Let the battle commence.
Next Chapter: Silver's Demise
Authors note: Hello again. I hope you enjoyed this chapter of the admiral of light. Now the story is beginning to kick off against a new bunch of sea outlaws. Now this chapter has mentions of abuse, murder and course language to show the really horrible side of pirates in comparison with some the more easy going straw hat adventures.
It won't always be gloomy but it also won't always be pretty either it will be a mix of the two. But don't worry if you are offended from some of the mentions of rape in this chapter there will be no explicit scenes revolving around it more or less only mentioning it. And it won't appear that much in the story from now most likely.
Now some may have been expecting a fight scene and don't worry that will be coming in the next chapter as we see our favorite Admiral face off against Silver and his crew.
I do not own One Piece, it is owned by Eiichiro Oda.
Please comment and I hope you enjoyed this chapter of the light speed admiral.
