Vol. 04 Ch. 01 – World Power

Marineford is the operating base island for Marine Headquarters. This is where the Fleet Admiral Sengoku and admirals lived, along with many vice admirals and lower officers when they were not assigned to other bases. The town around Marineford is inhabited by families of Marines. Marineford is located near the Sabaody archipelago and is placed right next to Mary Geoise on the Red Line. Marineford is a crescent-shaped island composed entirely of bricks and steel, with cannons at the edges. At the back of the island, standing large, tall and proud is the Marine Headquarters building.

Upstairs on Marine Headquarters, where the Marines are sitting together holding a meeting led by the Fleet Admiral Sengoku. The Rear Admiral and Vice-Admiral sat quietly with their white coat uniforms waiting for Admiral Sengoku Fleet to speak.

Sengoku: "Garp !? Why did you let them escape? " Sengoku shouted while hitting the table in front of him.

Garp: "Wahahaha ... Crisp ... How do I know that their ship can fly to avoid the pursuit of a Marine battleship." Garp casually answers and eats his rice cake. "

Sengoku: "This is no joke, stop laughing. Don't you know how many problems that group has caused to the World Government and the Tenryuubito? " Sengoku snatched the rice cake bag from Garp's hand.

Garp: "Hey, that's mine, give it back." Sengoku immediately threw the rice cake towards Borsalino.

Borsalino: "Please get me a cup of tea, Itadakimasu." Borsalino immediately ate the rice cake he received from Sengoku.

Sengoku: "What made the group dangerous was the descendants of the Amenome family and Nico Robin together. Why did that little boy choose to be with Nico Robin? "

Tsuru: "Since childhood, he already has many talents, if only you could invite him to join the Marines at that time." Tsuru who sat next to Garp blamed Sengoku for failing to recruit Arthur into marine.

Sengoku: "You also know that no matter how many times you 'cleaning' Arthur, he remains firm with his wishes." Sengoku sat down and calmed down.

Zephyr: "With Arthur's personality, he will not harm the resident but certainly put the World Government in trouble." Zephyr gave his opinion on Arthur.

Sengoku, Tsuru, and Zephyr have a few stories together with Arthur in the past. Sengoku and Zephyr regarded Arthur as his student and Tsuru was like Arthur's grandmother, so they were annoyed at Arthur's behavior this time.

Tsuru: "Chances are, he will now challenge The Hawk Eyes, Dracule Mihawk from the direction they went."

Sengoku: "Garp, what about Mihawk's answer?" Sengoku continued their meeting agenda.

Garp: "I have said what you want and gave him Den-Den Mushi to contact us, he has not answered."

Tsuru: "Why did you agree to create a Warlord system? Pirates are still pirates, they can't be trusted. "

Sengoku: "This is Gorosei's decision to create balance in Paradise and make it easier for us to manage it." The meeting of the Marines high officials continued.

While on Amazon Lily, the kingdom is located on the Women's Island, an island located in the Calm Belt next to Paradise. Because of the location of the island, there is no wind or storm on Amazon Lily. The island's focal point is a large mountain located in the middle. It was carved with a giant curved snake statue and the name of the island's original tribe, Kuja, which was engraved on the cliff wall. In the middle of the mountain is a deep valley where the village of the Kuja tribe is located. They also have Kuja Pirates whose pirate crew are women chosen from the Kuja tribe in their homeland. Their captain was the Empress of the Kuja tribe, Boa Marigold. She succeeded in showing her strength and was chosen by Gloriosa as her successor. The second person in command was Marigold's sister, Boa Sandersonia.

Gloriosa: "I never thought that if the boy really challenged Whitebeard, their journey began with an extraordinary start." Gloriosa read the Kuja Pirates booty newspaper

Sandersonia: "Nyon Ba, Hancock-Nessan also got her first wanted poster." Sonia shows a wanted poster of Boa Hancock.

Marigold: "Hm, even the price of the bounty is more than 100 million B." Marigold nodded proudly.

Gloriosa: "But world governments still continue to cover up facts. I know that Arthur competed for 1-on-1 with Whitebeard, not that they ganged up on Whitebeard together. " Gloriosa only sighed while reading the news in the newspaper.

Sandersonia: "Arthur must be like that, he wants to know the limits of his abilities."

Gloriosa: "The name Nico Robin is familiar to the world, so the price of the bounty does not rise too high. As for your sister, Hancock, she has a strong logia-type devil fruit, of course, the price of the bounty is more than 100 million. And Baby-5 who are less active are only given bounty status because they are together with Arthur. " Gloriosa again explained to the 2 Boa sisters.

Marigold: "But in my opinion, Arthur's bounty price is still too low."

Gloriosa: "The World Government will not give the pirate's first bounty very high, otherwise residents will wonder why the Marines don't know information about this new strong pirate."

Sandersonia: "Arthur's identity as Tenryuubito was also kept secret by them."

On an island in the Grand Line, whose location is unknown except for those who know. The landscape has tall stone pillars and white earth looks like it is covered with snow, it is also very windy. The island has several ancient ruins that serve as the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army. An island that continues to be sought after by the World Government and Marines. That's where the most wanted person in the world is hiding, Monkey D Dragon. Together with his confidant, Emporio Ivankov, they stood on the terrace looking out at sunrise.

Ivankov: "Hey, Dragon, the latest wanted poster for Nico Robin has appeared." The figure of a big tall man with thick makeup came out to a terrace.

Dragon: "Hem, I know." Dragon nodded and already holds 4 wanted posters in his hand.

Ivankov: "Do you still want to recruit Nico Robin?" Ivankov walked closer to stand beside Dragon.

Dragon: "Of course, her ability as a survivor scholar from Ohara will really help us in overthrowing the current World Government. But I'm more interested in this man. " Dragon shows Arthur's wanted poster to Ivankov.

Ivankov: "Oh, very cute, I will gladly accept him joining my candies." Ivankov looked at Arthur's photo and immediately became interested.

Dragon: "From his name, he is probably the son of Alpha. But I didn't know that there was another woman besides Maria who was close to him, so Arthur maybe Maria's son make him also has the status of Tenryuubito. " Dragon gave an explanation to Ivankov why he was interested in Arthur.

Ivankov: "Yehaw ... tenryuubito became a pirate and together with The Devil Child Nico Robin, very interesting, Yehaw." Ivankov was immediately excited to hear an explanation from Dragon.

Dragon: "Yes, world powers will move in directions far beyond what can be expected." Dragon looked back to the sky where the sun had risen higher and smiled. 

^_^ ------- end of chapter ------- ^_^

At first I thought it would be difficult to release regularly, so I gave the 'previous' section in each chapter. My personal experience from novels that release new chapters takes a long time to make me sometimes forget the last chapter because too many novel in library. But with enthusiasm out of nowhere (cough ... too much free time ... cough) made me able to release chapters regularly, so from now on I will delete the 'previous' section. I hope I don't get bored writing, even though I think of writing a new story, I want to finish this first.
