262. Shaking The World

The next day.

The world woke upto two startling news. One of them shook the very core of everyone.

Marijoa was destroyed. World Government was wiped out.

This piece of news found it's way to every corner of the world. Be it pirates, countries, merchants or the underworld, every faction shook once they received the news.

As for the other piece of news. Though it wasn't as startling as the first one, it did make waves out in the world.

Navy has disbanded! In it's place rose the Adventurers Guild!

No one knew what this new organisation represented but those evil forces out in the sea started to create trouble once they learned that Navy was no more.

Without the bounties placed on them by the Navy and the World Government these people had nothing to fear.

Chaos erupted.

A day had passed since the world received these two major news.

When the second day came another piece of news spread throughout the seas.

Revolutionary Army had successfully annexed several countries calling out for change. Tyrannical rulers were brought down and new leaders rose from the people.

Almost instantly countless missions were posted on the Adventurers Guild HQ.

Every pirate who were creating a ruckus out there reclaimed a bounty on their head.

Lead by the class A adventurers ships left the Guild HQ to every part of the world.

With the resources pooled by the Revolutionary Army and the Adventurers Guild the chaos that started to set in slowly died down.

A month passed.

In this month countless pirates met their end. Their heads were taken back by the adventurers to claim their reward.

Slowly the world understood how this new organisation worked.

With the connections the Navy had built over the years Guild branches were established in every corner of the world.

The money and resources needed for this was astronomical. However this was all covered by what they recovered from Marijoa.

Adventurers Guild was slowly increasing it's prestige over the world.

Anyone can sail the seas. If you are simply looking for adventure then everything they needed can be found in the guild.

If they lack money they can take up missions. If they lack resources they can buy it from the Guild. If they lack weapons they can buy it from the Guild, provided they have authentic reasons and sufficient merits.

A new profession came to being in this past month.

Adventurer.

An adventurer seeks out to see the world with their own eyes. Experience what the world has to offer.

It wasn't that hard for old foxes like Sengoku and Z to spread this new profession all over the world.

They were replacing freedom and adventure that pirates represented with this new profession.

The world slowly stabilized.

Countless people were fascinated by this new title.

In a month the number of Guild's members shot through the roof.

Among all that was happening around the world one piece of news was very interesting.

Akainu the former Fleet Admiral who should have been allocated a class S title had to start from a class D title.

And he had to slowly climb his way through to class S with a team.

Even more interesting fact was that Z's two remaining students were placed in Akainu's team alongside Coby and another marine named Wolf.

They were an interesting bunch.

As for the missions they took, it was mostly extermination missions.

Akainu basically left his enemies charred.

With the name of Adventurers Guild spreading through the world a lot of pirates wanted to join them.

However 99 percent of those pirates were either killed or thrown inside Impel Down after going through a background check.

What's worth mentioning was that all of the Whitebeard Pirates joined the Guild. With permission from Aokiji Marco and a few were given class S titles.

Garp was especially happy. He dragged Ace to the guild and had him join as well.

Aokiji wanted to give Ace a class A title but the old guy refused and had Ace start from the bottom.

Though this new profession is building it's name out in the world, being the son of the Pirate King can't be washed away easily.

Now the only thing worrying the old man was his own grandson.

...

Somewhere in New World.

Leo was seated infront of a red haired man. He was surrounded by several people who had their hands on their weapons.

The red haired man was the last remaining Yonko, Shanks!

"Disband your pirate group and join the guild. Or you can just retire. Anyway you guys can't be pirates anymore."

Leo spoke calmly as he took small sips from a beer mug.

Shanks held his beer mug without saying anything for while.

"And if I refuse?"

He asked after a while.

Leo stated, "We are still talking because you are a reasonable man. If you were a murderer things would be very different."

"The world doesn't need a Yonko to rally pirates."

Shanks went silent. After a long while he laughed and chugged on the beer.

"Fine. I'll join your guild."

Leo finally smiled. He raised his mug, "Cheers, then."

Clang!

Shanks yelled at his crew, "Let's have a party! In celebration of our new adventure!"

His crew looked at each other and smiled. It didn't matter whether they were pirates or adventurers, where their captain was that is where they would be.

After having a few rounds with them Leo left.

A ship was waiting for him out in the sea.

Treading through the sea he reached the ship.

Shinobu was waiting for him with Tama.

"Just one more and we'll be finished."

Leo said with a smile.

Shinobu chuckled, "Garp-san must be pulling his hair in frustration."

Leo smiled. He reached out and took Tama in his arms, "Let's go find your big brother Luffy."

Tama was wearing a cute dress and her hair was tied with a beautiful butterfly hairpin.

Hearing Luffy's name the lad raised her hand excitedly.

"Yay! It's been so long since I saw big brother Luffy."

Haha.

Seeing her smile both of them laughed.
