A/N This chapter turned out way longer than I expected but I had to hook yall up!!! MORE TO COME you already know!!!
Revolutionary Fleet, Grand Line (Present Day)
The time was just passed midnight as the revolutionary fleet, led by dragon, moved quietly through the Grand Line. Their destination...
"Alabasta. DEATH has to go through Alabasta to get to the shinobi world, so that is where we will station our first line of defense, the King's Royal Army and hundreds of my Revolutionaries." Dragon informed, "DEATH then has to go through the Sand to get to any other village. Only my top Revolutionaries and the Shinobi will take it from there."
Aokiji, Sabo, Shanks, Tsunade, Ay, Garra, Mei, and Onoki, sat at a large round table inside Dragon's captain cabin as Dragon pointed at a map.
"DEATH's military is a joke. They only recruit anyone willing to die for something, but they have numbers and a lot of them." Dragon continued, "They specialize in overwhelming their targets, flanking, surprise attacks. Something that hits hard then send in the fodder to clean up the mess."
Garra looked down and grit his teeth slightly, remembering DEATH's attack on the sand only days ago.
"We understand DEATH attacked your village to get to Princess Vivi, Mr. Kazekage. DEATH attacked Cherry Blossom Kingdom the exact same way." Sabo said.
"We don't know why Psycho chooses this method so often but it doesn't matter. It will be his downfall." Dragon said, "We hope to decrease their numbers severely before they even get to the sand. All villages and the Kingdom have already been evacuated. How will Psycho ambush a city or village with "no one" in it? We'll hide in the evacuated city and ambush them before they can get us."
"Speaking of that Psycho brat where the hell is he?! He hasn't made noise since that war in the paper!" Ay yelled.
"Word got back to me earlier from some New Blackbeard Pirates that Vasco, Devon, and Shiriyu got arrested in the North Blue. They were all hallucinating something, sounds like Psycho's work." Aokiji added.
"The North Blue? What the hell would he be doing way out there?" Sabo asked, "Away from his headquarters? That's not even in the Grand Line anymore."
Dragon stared at Sabo.
"The answer to that question is the same reason we know Psycho is going after the shinobi world next." Dragon said.
Sabo and everyone immediately began paying closer attention.
"Through the tremendously brave actions of King Nefertari Cobra, I have obtained a note." Dragon said, pulling out a piece of paper.
Everyone was confused and extremely curious at the sight of the note. What was on it? Who was it from?
"Shinobi, you have only known our target as "Psycho" correct?" Dragon asked.
The Kage all looked at each other with nervous glances and looked back at Dragon, nodding.
"We know him as Psycho too.. but some of us.. know him as someone else." Dragon said, still holding up the folded note.
Shanks, with his head low, spoke softly.
"Tore.." Shanks said.
The Kage all looked at the red haired man.
"T-Tore?" Tsunade asked.
"WHO?!" Ay yelled.
"Tore.. is that his real name or something?" Mei asked.
"You talk as if he's an entirely different person entirely! So you've found out his real name, so what?!" Onoki yelled.
"Calm yourself, Lord Tsuchikage.. there has to be more to this, don't you think?" Garra asked.
Dragon stared at the Kage.
"Tore is more than just his real name.. Tore is one of the friendliest men I've ever met. Always helping someone, or trying to. Respectful, manners, and flawlessly fights without killing." Dragon said before pausing.
Everyone in the room grew tense.
"He might as well be an entirely different person.." Dragon said.
The Kage were shocked to hear this information.
"So, you're telling me this murderous mad man who caused THREE of our FOUR shinobi world wars is this sweet and cuddly guy underneath this Psycho facade?" Onoki asked.
"THIS DOESN'T MAKE A LICK OF GOD DAMN SENSE! YOU THINK WE CARE ABOUT A SOB STORY?! HOW MANY SHINOBI HAVE DIED BY HIS HAND?! ANSWER THE QUESTION!" Ay yelled at the other kage.
Dragon just stared at Ay.
"THAT BASTARD... THAT BASTARD KILLED MY OLD MAN!! I'll NEVER FORGIVE HIM!!" Ay yelled.
Shanks walked over to the Raikage and placed his hand on his shoulder.
Dragon stared at the Raikage.
"Lord Raikage, Psycho has hurt us all very deeply.. some of us in different ways than others. Some of us were even collateral. Many of my men and women of revolution were killed during one of his attacks. They weren't even the main target." Dragon said.
Raikage slowly calmed down as Shanks patted his shoulder.
"We understand your pain, Mr. Raikage." Shanks said with a soft smile.
"But.. believe it or not.. when I reveal what's on this note.. you might forgive him." Dragon said.
"What's.. on the note.." Tsunade said.
Dragon looked at Tsunade.
"This note.. is what made Cobra decide to reach out to you all. This note, is the first step to DEATH's downfall. This note.. is an apology from the first Queen of Alabasta." Dragon finally revealed, opening the note.
The entire front was filled out with beautiful cursive writing.
"An apology to who, Mr. Dragon?" Garra asked.
Dragon looked at Garra, then back at the rest of the room.
"Shinobi, the place DEATH made their HQ was called, "Marineford." It was attacked once before, twenty-two years ago. Psycho was behind that attack as well." Dragon explained, "six hundred men died."
The Shinobi were taken back.
"That bastard!" Onoki yelled.
"Is he just killing for the sake of it or what?!" Mei raised her voice.
"YOU SEE?! WHO GIVES A DAMN ABOUT WHY HE'D DOING ALL THIS? ALL THIS KILLING HAS TO STOP!" Ay yelled.
Tsunade just looked at the ground in pure shock and disbelief.
Tsunade and the other Kage had already in the World Economy newspaper that one hundred thousand people died, and even more in the war that followed.
"Wait a minute... if I remember reading correctly, that would have been after the Second Shinobi World War correct?" Garra asked.
Tsunade looked at Garra with slight shock.
"That's right.." Onoki said, "That bastard really came back to these lands and killed six hundred more people after that?!"
"Didn't he.. kill four hundred Lead Shinobi after his first lady was killed..?" Mei asked softly.
Tsunade shook even more as Sabo and Aokiji ran to comfort her.
"He.. killed her.." Tsunade said.
"What?!" Ay yelled.
Dragon stared at Tsunade.
Shanks couldn't believe it.
"Wh-What...? Tore... Psycho..." Shanks conflicted.
"Psycho's attack on Marineford was retaliation as well. Ohara had been destroyed only hours before Marineford was attacked. When Psycho's WANTED posters were issued I sailed to Ohara immediately. To look for any sign this man was in the area." Dragon said.
Everyone looked at Dragon with anxiousness.
"I ran into a good friend, Dr. Vegapunk, he also frequented Ohara when it still stood tall. I asked him if he ever saw this man around and thankfully, he said yes. But that isn't all he said.." Dragon continued.
"He told me, and I quote, "Tore loved Olivia to death, but to say he killed six hundred people on his own is own is obsurd!" Dragon said.
Dragon slammed down the note for everyone to see.
"Queen Lily wrote this note apologizing to "Tore" immediately connecting him to the "Psycho" that is roaming around today." Dragon said, ".. I never expected to find out what I've had from this note.. shinobi.. this will be tough for you to hear, but it is neccessary." Dragon said.
The Kage looked at each other with determined looks but also hid nervousness behind it.
The Kages looked back at Dragon and each nodded.
Dragon stared at them and nodded slowly as he lifted the note to his face and began reading.
"My name, is Nefertari D. Lily.. and I made a terrible mistake.."
Ba Sing Se Outer wall
Tore and Robin stood at the wall seperating the vast farmlands and the land outside Ba Sing Se's first wall. Tore had his sharingan active with three tomoe.
"You're a natural Robin! All those years of studying and um.. we'll call it "experience" got your chakra moving right away!" Tore said with a big smile.
Robin smiled.
"So what's next?" Robin asked.
"Next!" Tore said, pulling out a small piece of paper.
Robin was confused.
"We get to find your chakra nature!" Tore said excidedly.
Robin chuckled.
"Why are you so chipper?" Robin asked.
Tore continued smiling.
"I've... I've always dreamed of this day! I can't wait to see your chakra nature. Your mom's was wind. Extremely rare!" Tore said, "But I expect you'll have fire, like your old man! Or I guess I'm young.."
Robin laughed and looked at Tore with a soft smile.
Tore handed Robin the paper.
"Alright, Robin, cover the paper and focus your chakra to your hands. The paper will react depending on your chakra nature!" Tore said, his fingers crossed.
Robin nodded and covered the paper, focusing her chakra to her hands.
Fwoosh!
Robin yelped as Tore ran over.
"Robin! You okay?" Tore asked as he looked at Robin's hand and began jumping around with excitement.
"Yes! Yes!! I knew it! Hahahahahaha!!" Tore yelled happily.
Robin smiled at Tore as she looked down at her hand to see the paper had caught fire and turned to ash.
"Does this mean my nature is fire?" Robin asked.
Tore stopped bouncing around and nodded happily.
"Yep!" Tore said, cheesing.
Robin smiled once more, looking at her hand.
"I never expected any of this from this trip... it... it feels like a dream.." Robin said, looking up then becoming shocked at Tore's disappearence.
"D-Dad!!!" Robin yelled.
"I'm up here!" Tore yelled.
Robin looked up with shock to see Tore standing on the wall.
Robin was immediately taken back to seeing Psycho walk on water while fighting Luffy.
"Next lesson! Chakra control! You already did a small version of it with the paper! Just do the same with your feet and keep your focus!" Tore said.
Robin gulped slightly.
"I'm here for you Robin." Tore said, crouching on the wall just above Robin's head, Tore held out a hand.
Robin smiled big and nodded, placing a foot on the wall and grabbing Tore's hand.
North Blue Ocean
Iwataka, Zoro, and Amaiya sailed Amaiya's Marine ship in the direction Iwataka instructed. The night was cool and calm.
Iwataka and Zoro stood the deck as Amaiya approached from behind.
"Hey, Mr. Iwataka?" Amaiya asked.
Iwataka and Zoro turned around.
"Hm? Yes, Amaiya? Are you alright?" Iwataka asked.
"I'm fine. Thank you for asking. I just-I just haven't asked you.." Amaiya said.
Iwataka smiled. Zoro looked at Amaiya with confusion.
"What is that you would like to know?" Iwataka asked.
"How.. how exactly did you.. beat my father?.. and Psycho?" Amaiya asked.
Zoro's eyes widened as he slowly looked at Iwataka.
Amaiya continued.
"You told us.. step one was realizing we can't beat him.. and step two was to ask ourselves why we're putting our lives on the line for this.." Amaiya said, locking eyes with Zoro, then looking back at Iwataka.
Iwataka continued to face the Ocean.
"...Why are you doing all this?" Amaiya asked.
Zoro stared at Iwataka, awaiting an answer.
"We know about your history with the World Government.. what's your history with DEATH?.. Why are you.. putting your life on the line for this?" Amaiya asked.
Iwataka continued to face the water.
"It's just.." Zoro started.
Amaiya looked at Zoro with surprise.
"You've been through a lot already.. with the Government. Why take on this burden too?" Zoro asked, looking at Amaiya who smiled softly.
Iwataka breathed in very slowly and exhaled at the same speed, as if he was preparing himself for something.
"Cyclone.." Iwataka started, shaking his head slowly.
Amaiya tensed up, Zoro's kept a cool face, but his eye twitched with anticipation.
Iwataka slowly turned towards the two.
"Cyclone killed my best friend.. right in front of me." Iwataka said sadly.
Zoro and Amaiya looked at each other then away slowly.
Iwataka lifted his head up towards the sky.
"DEATH attacked my new home once before.. when I was just seventeen years old.." Iwataka started.. "That was thirty-eight years ago.."
"They killed.. mutilated.. and hung any and everyone they saw.. anyone who wouldn't join their cause really." Iwataka said, "That's the evil truth as to why DEATH has all these "average joes" working for them.."
Zoro and Amaiya couldn't believe what they heard. Both were under the impression DEATH members truly believed they were fighting for peace. They didn't have any choice at this point. They already lost everything.
Zoro grit his teeth violently, trying not to snap.
"My walks through that beautiful island were now filled with ash and ember.. blood stained trails.. and.. sometimes there were still bodies.. just off to the side." Iwataka continued.
Amaiya shook with sadness.
"And of course.. many DEATH members.." Iwataka paused, "One time.. I came across a younger lady.. and an old woman.. the-the lady.. told me to check out the "mysterious boats" in the harbor, just off the cliff.."
Zoro and Amaiya tensed up.
"...There weren't any boats.." Iwataka said.
Zoro and Amaiya's eyes widened as far as they could.
"When I turned around.." Iwataka paused.
The wind blew softly as the small waves moved under the ship.
"The young woman violently killed the old lady.. with a katana.." Iwataka said sadly, "Tax for DEATH" the lady called it... it was a robbery.."
Iwataka looked back up at the sky.
"The woman.. then tried to rob me as well.. and.. I killed her.. I-I had never killed anyone before.. I didn't know what to think or how to feel.." Iwataka started.
"This damn organization... I'm sick of them!" Zoro thought.
Amaiya just continued to look at Iwataka with sadness.
Iwataka looked back at the two once more.
"Enough was enough.." Iwataka said.
Zoro and Amaiya could feel Iwataka's strength shake the boat.
"My friend and I.. decided we would take the island back.." Iwataka started, "..I ran into Cyclone multiple times during this period, and almost died each time.."
Iwataka breathed in and out.
"But he "admired me" his words.. not mine.. but I didn't fall for it.. I already knew the truth.. he just wanted to recruit another young, angry, fool.." Iwataka said, "My friend and I.. ended up being kidnapped in our sleep... when I... when we..."
Iwataka paused for a moment.
Amaiya wanted to intervene but Zoro stopped the Vice Admiral, shaking his head. Iwataka needed this.
"When we woke up.. we were tied to posts.. at a DEATH camp.. Cyclone stood directly in front of us and asked us.. one more time.. if we would work for him.." Iwataka looked away, tears falling softly.
Zoro and Amaiya never thought they'd see this happy go lucky swordsman down like this.
"When we said no... he-he... ripped my best friends head off..." Iwataka finally said.
Zoro and Amaiya were immediately filled with fear and nervousness.
"Oh-Oh my god..." Amaiya said to herself, trembling.
Zoro was completely taken back, but turned it into boiling anger.
Iwataka had hung his head low now.
"I'll never forget what Cyclone told me.." Iwataka said.
"Great... now I'll have to find someone else you love.. and you'll have to choose again.." Cyclone said sarcastically.
Iwataka stared at his friend's corpse completely blacked out with rage, sadness, despair, killing intent, just about every negative emotion imaginable.
Iwataka looked up again.
"It was right there. I decided I would never, ever stop fighting them... until this organization was put to rest.. once and for all.." Iwataka said.
Zoro and Amaiya held sympathy on their faces as they listened.
Iwataka cleared his throat.
"I.. stole a map during my escape and was able to find out their attack patterns. It turned out they were attacking kingdoms, countries, anything associated with the Government.." Iwataka continued.
"Their next location would take them to the West Blue.. to a place called.. God Valley.." Iwataka said.
Amaiya's eyes blasted open once more.
"I-I-Iwataka... was at the God Valley Incident?..." Amaiya gasped.
Zoro, of course, had never heard of God Valley.
"DEATH were still attacking Kingdoms, Countries, anything associated with the World Government at that time. However the Government still wanted to hold their triennial slave hunting competition..." Iwataka said, shaking his fist with rage.
Amaiya was confused.
"Wh-What? Sl-Slave hunting? B-But we were told... Roger... Rocks..." Amaiya felt completely confused and betrayed.
Zoro stared at Iwataka, trying to think if he heard what he thought he just heard.
"Slave hunting competition?" Zoro asked.
Iwataka faced Zoro.
"It's exactly as it sounds, the Celestial Dragons forced the Government to hold the event on an unaffiliated island to try and hide from a possible attack from DEATH... and... I found out... there weren't just slaves.." Iwataka said.
Zoro and Amaiya couldn't believe what they heard next.
"...There were shinobi as well..." Iwataka said.
Zoro and Amaiya were both too shocked to speak. The only sounds that could be heard were the ocean breeze and the warship passing through the water.
"It was there.. at God Valley.. I learned everything I needed to know.." Iwataka said.
38 Years Ago, God Valley
A, now eighteen year old Iwataka, looked out at the chaos on God Valley with sadness and despair in his eyes. DEATH, Roger, Rocks, and Garp had all disrupted the already chaotic slave hunting.
God Valley was a complete war zone.
"GIVE UP THE ISLAND!!! NOW!" A DEATH member yelled.
"Who the hell are you fools!? Get the hell away from me!" Whitebeard yelled, slamming his fist into the air and sending a shockwave through the island.
"OH MY GOD!!!!! RUN AWAY!!!!!" A Celestial Dragon yelled before being killed by a pirate.
"PLEASE!!! STOP THIS!!!!" A slave yelled before a Celestial Dragon stomped on their head.
"SLAVES LIKE YOU ARE THE REASON DEATH IS AROUND!!! LOOK WHAT THEY'RE DOING TO US!" The Celestial Dragon spat until he himself was killed by a DEATH member.
Iwataka's tears fell violently. All he had seen was death and destruction... but this was on another level. Iwataka came here for Cyclone, but everything was out of control.
Iwataka, slowly shook his head and turned to run, but ran into someone, who stood with a group of people.
The man had short white hair, a nose ring, and small red lines painted on the corner of his eyes.
DOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!
JIRAIYA "THE TOAD SAGE" (19 years old)
"You! You a slave too?" Jiraiya asked Iwataka.
Iwataka continued to stare at Jiraiya with fright.
"We're not gonna hurt you! We're recruiting everyone we can, we're getting the hell out of here!" Jiraiya smiled.
"YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" The men and women behind Jiraiya yelled, raising their make shift kunai and swords, made from sticks and stones.
Iwataka couldn't believe there were actually people with hope in this chaos.
Iwataka had been fighting for months before now, training in any free time he had, Iwataka had never had more motivation, Iwataka was the strongest he's ever felt, so why? Why wasn't it enough?
"I-I..." Iwataka stuttered, before remembering his friend and snapping.
"HOW CAN YOU HAVE HOPE IN A SITUATION LIKE THIS?! I'VE FOUGHT MY WHOLE LIFE AND IT'S NEVER BEEN ENOUGH! HOW CAN A FEW ROCKS AND STICKS MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE?!" Iwataka yelled at the group of men and women.
Jiraiya stared at Iwataka as he cried.
"I-I'm so tired... of all this fighting..." Iwataka cried.
Jiraiya put his hand on Iwataka's shoulder, Iwataka gasped, locking eyes with Jiraiya.
"Brother.. in situations like this.." Jiraiya started.
Iwataka made sure to heed this man's words closely.
"Hope is all we got!" Jiraiya laughed, "Not a single one of us have fallen since all this broke out! We refuse to die here!"
Iwataka was completely moved by these words.
"And that ain't all we got. This group behind me, are all former shinobi kidnapped by this enemy from outside our homelands!" Jiraiya said, "And unfortunately for these guys, we shinobi of the Hidden Leaf Village, have got far more than just hope... we've got the will of fire!" Jiraiya finished his speech as the shinobi behind him roared in admiration.
"Kidnapped.. from home? Sh-Shinobi? H-Hidden Leaf Village?... These-these brave people..." Iwataka said softly.
"This... this is bigger than me... DEATH..." Iwataka's head shot up as he looked back through the island, through all the chaos, and found his target.
Cyclone and Psycho floated above Garp, Rocks, and Roger.
Iwataka's eyes were fixed on that location as all the memories came flooding in. The bodies, the torture, his best friend's death. This had to end. Now.
Iwataka felt his haki surge, black and red lightning leaking from his cane sword.
"Woah! What's going on with your sword friend?" Jiraiya asked.
Iwataka looked back at Jiraiya with determination. The most determination he's ever felt in his life.
"I'm going to make a move.. will you follow me?" Iwataka asked.
Jiraiya looked at Iwataka with surprise, then back at the others. Jiraiya smiled big at them, then turned to Iwataka, still smiling.
"Why not?" Jiraiya said, extending a hand.
Iwataka smiled and shook the man's hand.
"The name's Jiraiya!" Jiraiya said.
Iwataka smiled.
"Iwataka!... Tokisato!" Iwataka said happily.
Iwataka turned towards the direction Cyclone was and began running, the shinobi behind him.
Celestial Dragons, Marines, and Pirates who tried to intervene were taken out by the shinobi as Iwataka focused on his target, getting ever so closer.
The closer Iwataka got, the more painful the memories, but with a new meaning, a new motivation.
Iwataka unsheathed his sword as wind violently picked up around his hand, black and red lightning blasting from the sword. Iwataka and the shinobi jumped into the main plaza.
Roger, Garp, and Rocks looked back as Psycho and Cyclone stared with shock, especially Cyclone as Iwataka leaped towards him.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!?!?" Cyclone asked, genuinely shocked.
Cyclone could see a certain man in Iwataka and began to sweat, looking over at Psycho who was shocked as well, not knowing who this young man was or why he was brave enough to rush into this plaza with so many big names.
Cyclone continued to stare at Psycho with shock.
"I-Impossible... That's NOT HOW IT WORKS!!!" Cyclone yelled, looking back at Iwataka.
"LOVE OF THE HEAVENLY DRAGON!!!!!!" Iwataka screamed, sending a vertical slice up, sending a massive air slash towards Psycho and Cyclone.
Psycho's eyes widened as the slash ripped through him and cut up Cyclone's body.
Wind sucked the blood out from Cyclone's wound and advanced conqueror's haki blasted from his chest.
Iwataka's wind slice passed through the island and cut up God Mountain's iconic mountain, slicing it completely in half.
"WHAT THE HELL?!" Rocks yelled.
Garp was completely shocked.
"YEAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Roger yelled.
"Th-That's Iwataka Tokisato!!!! Take him down!!!" A Marine Vice Admiral yelled.
Jiraiya and the shinobi were completely shocked.
"Wh-What?... Iwataka?" Jiraiya said softly.
Roger, Rocks, and Garp, all stared at Iwataka who had fallen on the ground.
Psycho was presumed dead, his body sliced completely in half. Cyclone.. was dead as well.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA ALL THAT TALK AND LOOK AT YOU NOW! CYCLONE!" Rocks yelled, spitting on Cyclone.
"You're strong, kid! How's about you sail with old Roger?!" Roger yelled.
"I don't know who the hell you are, but you've done the Government a great service!" Garp laughed, "Roger! You're under arrest!"
"PSYCHO AND CYCLONE ARE DOWN! I REPEAT PSYCHO AND CYCLONE ARE DOWN!" Marines celebrated.
The Five Elders just watched everything play out from afar.
Suddenly, Cyclone's heart beat violently. A blue energy taking over his body.
Present Day
"I still can't believe that's what Cyclone actually looks like.. it was truly demonic.. it destroyed everything it saw.." Iwataka said.
Zoro and Amaiya were shocked at everything they've heard, but this discussion was all truly needed, for everyone involved.
"I was able to cut off some if it's fur and surround the case of my sword in it, go on, have a feel!" Iwataka insisted.
Zoro and Amaiya looked at each other before going to feel the blue fur. It was soft, and very smooth.
"I didn't think anything could stop it.. well.. nothing could.. all parties had to retreat, Rocks went missing, it was all a big mess..." Iwataka said.
"But one more thing happened.. If I forget anything else.. this.. is something I will never ever forget." Iwataka started.
Zoro grew even more nervous, as did Amaiya.
"In an attempt to kill Cyclone's true form... I-I don't know who... had cosmic beams bombard the island from the sky... until there was nothing left but a massive hole in the ocean..." Iwataka said, "I-I didn't see Cyclone or DEATH again for a while after that.. I left with the shinobi and lived with them in the shinobi world for a long time."
"Since that's where Cyclone originated from, I was able to scrape up things about him here and there. Not much about his past per say, but at least I learned a lot about his personality and more about who he is as a person. I realized on God Valley I would never beat him in a fight, but I now I had a new way to win." Iwataka continued.
"Eventually.. DEATH ended up attacking the shinobi world once more.. putting me back on their trail to this very day." Iwataka finished.
Zoro didn't know what to say, think, of feel. Neither did Amaiya, but everyone on board knew one thing. DEATH and their reign of terror, had to end.
"I know you asked about Psycho as well, but, to be honest with you I didn't even realize he was there when I attacked Cyclone, he just got caught up in the attack." Iwataka explained.
"Since then I've learned few things about him, but to be honest.. DEATH feels more like Cyclone's organization than Psycho's to me anyway.. as I only saw Psycho once, but Cyclone has almost killed me multiple times.. When DEATH ruled my home under Cyclone, they killed everything. Nowadays the DEATH members mention Psycho as the big boss, and all they resort to is petty robberies, hardly any killings.." Iwataka continued.
"I'm sure you know, looking into this organization can leave you with far more questions than answers.. but one critical fact I think most overlook.. is those two men.. are clearly on two different paths.. for their perceived ideas of peace.." Iwataka finished.
DOOM! DOOM! DOOM! DOOM! DOOM! DOOM!
Suddenly, Iwataka looked back to extremely bright lights, Zoro and Amaiya shielded their faces.
"Wh-What the hell?" Zoro asked, "Marines? All the way out here?"
Amaiya was confused.
"Wh-What is this? A blockade? For what? I have never heard of this!" Amaiya said.
Iwataka breathed in and out slowly with slight nervousness.
"ATTENTION MARINE SHIP, TURN YOUR COURSE NOW!!" A loud voice yelled.
Iwataka, Zoro, and Amaiya looked back at the den den mushi on the wall, talking.
"They're even on our frequency.. they're the real deal!... But who are they?" Amaiya thought.
"WE SAID TURN AROUND NOW!!!!" The voice yelled again.
Zoro clutched his sword. Amaiya looked at Iwataka.
"Iwataka... what are we going to do? We can't take down a full armada on our own!" Amaiya yelled.
Iwataka clenched his eyes tight, trying to think of something. Anything.
"They're officially in restricted waters, Head Agent Stillwell." An agent saluted.
"GOOSE" Stillwell, Head of Cipher Pol Agis Negative
"..Give them to the count of ten and give them everything we've got." Stillwell said.
Before the agent could walk away, Stillwell spoke.
"Actually, let them have it." Stillwell said.
Immediately a bombardment of cannonfire was blasted at Amaiya's ship.
