"So, now that we're all comfortable, let's talk about why we're here." He frowned at the Odd-Jobs trio, who just continued to dig into their food like no-tomorrow.

"HAHAHA! Don't worry about them! They're future marines after all!" Garp laughed.

"If you insist…" Shepard frowned and continued. "Vice Admiral Garp, it's been two years since the great Marineford War; both the Navy and the Pirates had suffered tremendous losses, and just now both sides have started to recover. But the Navy is still in its disarray of chaos within rank and membership, so we need our veterans to stand up once again-"

"Four criminals." Garp interrupted.

"What?" Repeated Shepard.

"Four criminals were released by Blackbeard from Impel Down during the great war, due to the lack of manpower guarding the place. Had the Navy and World Government handled itself respectfully, we wouldn't have four dangerous criminals loose, but the world government wouldn't need to cover its ass." Garp continued. "Also…I haven't forgiven myself for what happened in the Marineford War. My grandsons are finally strong enough-"

"Exactly. The pirates are regrouping and getting stronger, with the new generation ready to replace the current one at any time." Governor interrupted. "Personally, I don't care what your blood ties are to the pirates or revolutionaries; that doesn't change who you are to the Navy, as well as your obligations to Absolute Justice."

"My obligations were completed when I betrayed my grandson." Garp replied.

"No. Absolute Justice dictates a marine's life the moment he signs up till the day he dies. You're a hero to everyone in the Navy, Vice Admiral. Please don't forget that." Governor replied.

"…Even so…I cannot take up your offer." Garp sighed. "I retired two years ago, and I intend to stay that way."

"I see." Governor sighed. "Well, we didn't want to have to do this. But you leave us no choice." He check on the Odd-Jobs group, seeing as how they were so immersed in their meal, he continued.

The Odd-Jobs trio, on the other hand, had picked up on the change of atmosphere and tuned into the conversation. Listening in, they heard Shepard start speaking. "We understand that a resident on your home island is well-acquainted with Red-Haired Shanks."

Loudly putting down his silverware, Garp replied. "He's the bastard who corrupted my grandson; I the only acquaintance desire I have is for my fist to meet him."

"I see…then you won't mind if we explain to the Fleet Admiral about his lover." Garp tensed at this. "We heard she just gave birth to a strong, healthy boy; send Red-Haired our congratulations."

"Hmph! The sea water's gone to your brain! Red-Haired hasn't been around my island in years!" Garp proclaimed.

"I see…how long did it take you to go back to your home island?" Shepard smirked.

"About a year after the war, why?" Garp raised a brow.

"So the young girl was left all by her lonesome for a year, while she got along well with that Red-Haired?" The pale man sneered. "We all know that Red-Haired went back to Dawn Island to protect it from pirate invasions before you worked up the courage to face everyone there. And we also know by now, that Red-Haired had contributed raising your grandson with this woman until you took him into the mountains. With how long you were gone, I can only imagine when Red-Haired became smitten with this woman."

"Where exactly is this going?" Garp growled.

"It's simple really." Governer pulled out a folder and handed it to Garp. The old man opened it, and his eyes widened slightly at what they saw. "We know that you allowed Red-Haired to pass in order to see the child, and even allowed him to stay long-enough to make sure his woman was all right. These pictures and geographical recordings prove his relationship to this woman, Makino-san, was it? Also, we're aware that Red-Haired is on the island, and you're merely covering for him for the sake of the mother and child. The Fleet Admiral has been generous in shielding you, but with the new developments blooming, he was forced to give you up."

"You people…" Garp clutched the folder. "What is it exactly you want?"

"Now that we have your cooperation, we'll explain." Governer petted his Iguana. "You see, we're merging with this organization that is working with a police force of some sort. This organization has weapons and technology beyond anything we've ever seen; due to the recovery-stage of the Pirates, we must act now. Trafalgar Law was disbanded as a Shichibukai for this; the project is only for veterans and the people the Navy can truly trust."

"So basically the plan is to reinstate the war." Garp sighed. "The Navy really plans to hunt down pirates with these?"

"That's the plan. Martial Law has been declared, so this is merely another step." Governer explained. "You may take that folder to Red-Haired, we already have our copy in the vault. Make sure he gets the point- which is simple."

"Cooperate, and no harm will come to the woman or the child." Shepard smirked, and continued eating. "Now that the unpleasantness is complete, let's continue this meal."

"Indeed." Governer continued and started eating as well. While the two bastards enjoyed stuffing their faces, Garp and the Odd-Jobs trio just stared at their food; that whole conversation was nauseating.

3hrs Later

At this point, Gintoki knew it was inevitable they were going to get involved in whatever was going on, and regardless if they didn't, Gintoki couldn't let what those bastards said pass. A child deserves to be raised in peace. He was staring out in the docks form the restaurant, having shirked his cleaning duties. Shinpachi and Kagura were out gathering the information they could out of the villagers. "A nice night out isn't it?" Turning to voice, Gintoki noticed it was Garp.

"Ah. Where I come from, you don't get to witness the sea and stars together much." The permhead shrugged.

"Really? You're from an island, aren't yah?" Garp asked.

"Yeah. Kabukicho Island; it's far, far in the Grand Line, where no one's ever dared gone before." The permhead said semi-sarcastically.

"Okay, I won't ask where you're from." Garp sighed. "Thanks for taking the news with me, I kind of had a feeling of what was coming."

"And this is also yours and Crazy Chef-san's way of collaborating with each other." Gintoki sighed. "That is why you agreed to come to this, right? You knew you were being called out here to take up active duty due to this weird merger happening with the Navy, and that crazy old man told you about what me and kids did back on the last island."

"Can't deny you sounded interesting." Garp shrugged.

"Ah. Got to say that I'm surprised though, you don't sound like you like the Red-Haired guy." Gintoki observed.

"Can't say I'm too fond of him but…he's the closest thing to a father my grandson has ever had…he fell in love the with the emerald of my island, and…he's now a father. A baby actually came into this world because of him, and the mother couldn't be happier. I already let one man down, I can't live with myself if I do it again." Garp sighed.

"So you want me to get these guys off the island and that info packet right?" The permhead clarified. "How do you know it's the only one?"

"Hmph! These idiots are horrible at research, the only reason why they got a hold of that information is because they broke into Donflamingo's vault!" The old man explained. "And he's got men everywhere."

It took the samurai a minute to comprehend the situation. "…I see. This bastard attacked your island awhile ago, and tried to take that woman and child, and this Red-Haired guy got into a nasty fight with him."

"Ah. Red-Haired's recovering, but he had his gut split open, so he's been on bed-rest with Makino." Garp explained. "His crew's been there helping him, but it's been a month since the attack, and six months since the baby's been born. I thought I had covered all the intelligence networks with his crew, but apparently I ad missed some."

"Hn. So if you hate pirates, why you helping this guy?" Gintoki asked.

Garp was silent for a moment. "Let's just say…I've had to do this before. But unlike last time, I won't make the mistake of choosing duty over family." The samurai didn't ask, it wasn't his business.

"Okay. So how much is the pay?" The samurai scratched his head.

"All the rum you can drink! My treat!" Garp proclaimed, patting Gintoki's shoulder.

"I want 10lbs worth strawberry parfaits, steaks, and curry as payment. Nothing else." Gintoki said bluntly.

"It's a deal! When will you start?" The old sea dog asked.

"Tomorrow night. The kids are still collecting Intel." Gintoki waved it off.

The Next Day

It was chaos. Cocoyasi awoke in a start, marines were running around, and bodies were falling left and right. Gintoki and Shinpachi awoke with a start a window crashed in Genzo and Nojiko's house. Quickly dressing themselves, the Odd-Jobs trio rushed outside to face whatever was happening.

"W-Who did this?!" Nojiko grabbed her face, and stared in horror. Bodies of marines were scattered across the island, some ad trauma injuries while the others had slash-marks. Gintoki narrowed his eyes, those weren't the marks of an amateur.

"GAAH!" Looking up, the group followed the screams up until they reached City Hall; Zeff and Garp stared with equal looks of horror. It had looked like the old men had took a few hits themselves. Gintoki eyed the bloody folder in Garp's hand.

"It's the documetns I wanted, but I sure as hell didn't want them this way." Garp sighed, staring at the City Hall entrance. "We were about to have breakfast, but this crazy man and woman came in out of nowhere on a hovercraft of some kind, and started attacking people. Governer and Shepard were the first on their hit list; after the guy killed them, he handed me the folder and assured me that he didn't go after weak men. The woman said that the World Government no longer needed pety methods like blackmail, and that they'd hunt them down anyways."

"Oi, old man." Kagura's eyes were wide. "Did the guy…look like me at all?"

"As a matter of fact, he did. Why do you-" DASH! Kagura ran passed him, and ran into the banquet hall. She stopped dead-center at what she saw. In front of her was a male about the same age as her boyfriend, blood all over his hands, wearing a black male Chinese outfit; a read parasol at his side. He was eating briskest across from a girl, munching on some doughnuts. Kagura's breath caught in her throat, recognizing the woman immediately. The navy-haired-beauty who had tried to kill her about a year ago.

"Hello Imoto-chan!" The man waved pleasantly; airing his expressionless smile. "I heard you already met Nobume-chan here."

"N-Nii-san! W-What are you doing here?!" Kagura pointed her parasol at him immediately.

"I could ask you the same thing. I didn't you know you and that samurai were apart of this." Kamui replied.

"Apart of what?! What's going on?! Why are you with her?!" Kagura demanded.

"Oh. I got over the novice; your brother is a real man." Nobume said apathetically.

Kagura froze, suddenly feeling nauseous. "…What?"

"That's right! We're what you normal people call an 'item'!" Kamui put air quotes around the word. "Right, Nobume-chan?"

"Just because you say it officially, doesn't increase your chances in bed." She replied.

"True, true." Kamui turned back to his sister, who looked like she was about to barf. "In all seriousness, Imoto-chan…" Kamui's smile widened when he saw Gintoki and Shinpachi enter the room. "What are you doing here?"

"We're here to collect that One Piece treasure that's here! Not that it's your business!" Kagura proclaimed.

BAM! Gintoki bashed her on the head. "Idiot! Don't say things like that so blatantly!" Frowning, he noted the dark-haired woman in recognition. "So I take it you white coats are now with the Harusame."

"Eh. Their cooperation along with the Harusame, is most helpful." Nobume didn't bother lying.

"Imai-san…what's going on? Why are the Mimiwarigumi working with the Harusame?" Shinpachi asked.

"It's a business merger, nothing more." Kamui replied. "This planet just happened to be our first major client; we're all very excited for this first-ever joint project!" He clapped his hands together.

"Joint-project?" Shinpachi asked. "…When did this start?"

"Nobume-chan and the others arrived about two weeks ago, so yeah…that's when the negotiations started." Kamui replied.

"Damn it." Gintoki growled. "So that's what caused the World government to come down on people. Can't say I was expecting you bastards though."

"Us either. Although…this is a pleasant surprise." The male's eyes slitted. "Maybe we'll fight in this world, samurai."

"What was the point of this slaughter?" Shinpachi asked.

"Ah. We were told to kill those two on the ground over there, and these people started getting in our way for some reason." Kamui smiled, gesturing towards the bodies of Shepard and Governer. "Didn't give us a reason, I just wanted to kill."

"Omae…" Kagura growled. "I'm going to beat the shit out of both of you!" Charging forward, she was stopped-short at a blade at her throat. "Move. This is between me and him."

"Yato-san, we meet again. Don't worry, I have no intention of going after Okita as I said. But my superiors will require an explanation. What are you and the rest of Odd-Jobs doing here?" She asked.

"None of your business! Now move!" Kagura growled and swung her umbrella at her, but the older girl dodged.

"Oi, Kamui," Getting out his sword, Gintoki stepped forward. "We'll tell you if you tell us, why are you here?"

"Hmmm…guess that's fair." He smiled at his new lover. "What do you think, Nobu-chan?"

"It's fine. Isaburo-san would find this more entertaining anyways." She shrugged. "The Mimiwarigumi is here on a business merger with the Harusame."

Gintoki narrowed his eyes. "Don't tell me…you bastards are now in league with each other?"

"Yep! And this mission is a test of loyalty!" Kamui proclaimed.

"What does that have to do with you being on this planet?" Shinpachi pointed out.

"Ah! You see…apparently there was some huge war that happened around two years ago or so, and it came to a tie." Kamui started.

"And let me guess. Somewhere around a month or so ago, one of these World Government bastards contacted you, and you set up a deal where you take the remaining threats out, in exchange for a permanent business partnership." Gintoki deduced.

"Ooohhh…you're a lot smarter than you look, Samurai-san!" Kamui clapped his hands together. "But you're right on that one! My associates and I take out the major threats, in exchange for their trust; these devil fruits will be quite the commodity."

"Those that's what you bastards want? The devil fruits?" Garp finally spoke up.

"Ah! Garp-san! Thank you for the fight! You and Zeff-san proved to be more entertaining than I thought." Kamui bit into a turkey leg. "Welp! I'm full! Ready to go, Nobu-chan?"

"If you ever wish to consummate this relationship, refrain from giving me orders." She said bluntly. "And…" After grabbing a few donuts, she stood up. "Yes I am ready."

"Great! See you later Samurai-san! Imoto-chan! Wait! What was it you were here for again?" Kamui asked.

"We're here for that One Piece treasure!" Kagura declared. "And I'll find it and bash it over your head, Nii-san!" She was being held back by Shinpachi at this point.

"Looking forward to it, see you around, Samurai-san. And Garp-san?" Kamui smiled. "I'll tell them, you said no." Without saying another word, he and Nobume left through the hole they made in the wall and left towards a Navy ship anchored a few feet away off a cliff-side.

After an awkward silence, Garp sighed. "You three are coming with me. Obviously, there's a lot of things to discuss. Zeff! I'm taking them off your hands!"

"Tch! They were nothing but trouble anyways!" Zeff huffed.

Meanwhile

"Huh? Really? You don't say. Interesting." Sougo looked at the people in front of him with a neutral expression. One was a man with long hair, another was a beautiful blonde woman, a man who look like a bull, another a wolf, and lastly a pointy nose. There were was also a man with long hair trying to commit suicide in the corner. "So this guy named Spandam and his father are trying to kill you and your group for what happened for this Water 7 incident?"

"Yeah. After the whole incident was complete, he started telling everyone the failure was our fault, and soon enough..." The wolf man started.

"We're wanted criminals." Lucci sighed. "We were caught in consequence from the business merger by you other-worldly beings."

"I see. So I help destroy the deal, and you help me find what I want." Sougo smirked.

"And what would that be?" The Cipher Pole 9 group raised a brow.

"Oh. What I want is very simple: help me find my girlfriend." Sougo smiled; his playful mannerism already melting into sadism. This game of cat and mouse was going to be fun.
