Location Marineford. 13 years ago.
- Months after the destruction of Mariejois. - (Hokurou still in hiding.)
"What can we do!?" Shouted one of the admirals in the meeting "We want those two to pay for their crimes as much as you do but we're not getting progress going on manhunts."
Things were hectic in the Marine base as the refugees from the now burned down Capital of Mariejois were sent to the headquarters to find refuge, most of those who survived were former slaves and general travelers or merchants passing through the city, but since most majority of the World Nobles had been killed be the fish and the young slave, what's left of the 'Glorious' Saints refuse to claim any of the slaves in fear of the two monsters coming for retribution.
Other than that, the Noble's have become more paranoid to the outside world, keeping to themselves and engrossing themselves to politics in the World Government more than to go outside flaunting their fake 'power' but they are giving us more financial support, pouring what was left of their rich resources to our banks and anything that survived the inferno in Mariejois were free to take for the marines.
So those slaves were given a choice, whether to go into ships and return back to their homes, of find a new life, get a workers job or enlist as Marines.
Understandably most of them had chosen to go home with their families, the Marine's involvement of giving the Tenryuubito supremacy was not our shining moment as the World Government granted them the "Holier than thou" title so callously, their riches are the only thing that we needed to help support our wide-spread influence on the world, as we cannot hold on to so many islands and create as many ships as the world thinks we could do.
While the kingdom itself is more of a meeting for kings and the nobles than a symbol of the might of the World Government than what most would believe, it would still take a toll on our resources and we cannot just let go of a home advantage that had been wretched away from us.
Though our main issue is on how to deal with the two
The first one, the fishman who was known to be a powerful pirate captain had blown down the gates of the kingdom and carved a path of death and destruction throughout the city, freeing slaves in his path, eliminating guards and nobles to and fro without issue.
The second one was a young human, who reached the gallows that was on the other side of the kingdom in mere moments, killing guards and nobles with quick and merciless efficiency, releasing a large amount of trapped slaves, using a wide range of abilities that varied from immense speed, inhuman precision, very, very destructive firepower and what seemed like summoning a large white-wolf.
Though both criminals are both guilty, the second one's unknown abilities makes him far more dangerous than a fishman.
His abilities seem so impossible that it had to be obtained through use of devil fruits.
His precision, speed and endurance had to be earned through a Paramecia fruit, that affects the physical capabilities of the person.
While his large wolf companion must be earned through a Zoan fruit, allowing him transformation and communication with beasts.
But his flame powers speak that he has eaten a Mera Mera no Mi, a Logia fruit, that manipulates the elements.
But it has been known that a devil fruit user can only eat ONE devil fruit, as the newly eaten fruit would replace the current devil fruit users powers, but this child seems to have abilities that come from all types of devil fruit, a feat deemed only capable by gods.
Not to mention the companion he had during his escape.
That shadowy man, through the words of one World Noble, was emanating an aura of pure malice, a desire of pure wanton destruction to anything that the man deemed scum, but was controlled by the younger man, even shared some form of resemblance between them, and shared a skill in the use of BOTH the Logia and Paramecia fruit.
Through some witnesses, it was also seen that the unknown man was also responsible for the destruction of the kingdom, he himself creating another inferno that engulfed the other half of Mariejois.
So we had a third suspect in this, so our decisions were tied up in who was more dangerous and needed to stopped.
A fishman who is the captain of a rather powerful pirate group who's powers and strength was already known.
Knowing the situation from the former slaves it seems that the Fish pirate's agenda was to destroy the world nobles and their home to get back at them for enslaving him and his fellow mer people, so as long as we keep away from him and his people we wouldn't need to deal with him later. Increasing his bounty would be an expected response from us anyway, though we'll have to assign a team to monitor his actions so we'd know where he stands in the conflict between humans and fishmen. Until then, options like the Buster Call are blocked off from us.
So that left the two unknown powerhouses whose locations were unknown but no reports have sighted on suspicious individuals going for the settlements or the ports.
So that meant they would still be stuck here in the Red Line and are probably planning to find a way out of enemy territory.
We needed to apprehend them assess their strength, their morals and what threat they would pose to the people in general, but with their act of freeing the slaves they earned the respect of the people and the honest men in the marines meant that they would have many avenues of escape.
We need to properly assess them to know of their intentions and threat to the world, considering their easy destruction of a large kingdom, so we needed a solution that would effectively any attempt of apprehending them would push their path's towards us.
Expectingly we have set up bounties for both individuals but we have crossed out one requirement.
The 'Alive' option isn't necessary.
This would prevent the populace from actively assisting the two while we ordered our own men that they were to be incapacitated and sent to the Marine base.
Though the bounty would garner the attention of more powerful pirates, if them hiding their powerful potential from the nobles and avoiding from our numerous marine forces while accompanied by lieutenants and captains without a trace was evidence enough they would be capable of steering clear from the sea's powerful vagabonds possibly even beat some of them.
After ignoring a one sided argument of a noble with one of our admirals (which our fellow man ignored) Garp, who had access to these meetings called my attention "So Sengoku," catching the attention of some of the other admirals with his informality "So what's gonna be the epithet of the wolf brat?" bringing up the last task needed to be done.
The nobles 'suggested' both individuals be called the "Twin Oni" or "Godslayers" but their powers show no trace of ungodly forces and was too grand for the marines tastes, while "Devil Sage" would be too much of a compliment of their abilities than to warn of their deadliness, as well as the plan of preventing the information of their capability to use multiple devil-fruit abilities to a deadly capacity would be faulted.
After a long debate, with many researching back at the witness and survivor reports about their title, we have decided a epithet for the young former prisoner, his companion will have to be researched into more before we can come up with more information, even his name would be a breackthrough.
His title will properly acknowledge his wolf companion, his unnatural speed and ferocity and his impressive aura of killing intent, a fitting name, to the point and no grandness or underestimation.
Hokurou Sephtis, The "White Wolf of Death".
This chapter was short as to show the point of view from the Marines, though I will be uploading a chapter soon, returning to Hokurou's point of view.
And as you have read, you can see that I'm changing a bit of the general outlook of the Marines, a genuine goal at protecting the innocent, but riddled with corruption and so, are more than willing to do whatever it takes to remove itself of its own evil and any threat to the innocent defeated, but will only act if the opposing force is found to be genuine in their aggression, which Fisher Tiger and my OCs are justified in their act.
I will be changing some events in the story as I have changed the Marine's attitude about pirates and its own drastically.
