It has already been 3 days since Vox arrived in Sabaody Archipelago, by now everyone from his family was there. Aside from that, the super rookies were also there. From all of them, Law was the only one that interested Vox, but not so much for him to use a fruit on him. Bonny is a better option.
Vox was not interested in the little fights here. His only interest would be the Dark Prince, Silvers Rayleigh and Admiral Kizaru. The truth is, after his training, he could already be marked as a top tier admiral, which is equal to the tree marine admirals. With his devil fruit, he can fight 2 of them and not lose.
'Maybe I should annihilate Marineford...But what then? The world will be in utter chaos and the WG will send all of their strength to every corner... I don't feel secure with my enemies in the dark.' As Vox was still thinking of what he should do, Night Wing came behind him.
"What's on your mind, master?" She said softly, with a gentle gaze on his back.
"Just thinking." Vox looked at her and his heart skipped a beat. Lately his feelings were getting out of control, and it did not help when Night Wing now could were whatever clothes she liked. They say the clothes make the man, well, the clothes also make the woman. She looked so radiant with her milky white skin and purple hair.
"Everyone is waiting for you." She said as she flashed a brilliant smile seeing his reaction. Oh how she longed to see him like that.
Vox hurriedly walked inside to calm his raging heart. Inside the make up then, there were the 17 chairs. Everyone else was outside waiting. Vox his spot on the head of the table. On his left sat Night Wing and on his right Galactic Queen, which was a surprise for most of them, as they had not seen her before. Forma, Psy and Curran each had a chair of their own as well, as they were part of the family.
Aside from them, the Samuel, Samantha, Kahn, Eric, Lucy, Lena, Wendy, Wright, Alan, Inara and the new addition Enel himself was there.
"Good to see you here Enel" Vox smiled at his old friend.
"Likewise, you never cease to amaze me." He said when he looked at the others at the table. Each and every single one of them was at least as strong as a vice admiral. The 4 he personally trained were even approaching the admiral level and in a year, they will be high ranking admirals, just with their strength alone. Not to mention the others were also close to being one.
"How is your mother?"
"She is fine, I made a visit last month. She was very happy to see me. She she said she had found me a woman as well. Hahahaha" Seeing him laugh so joyfully, Vox pictured the old Enel, the original one with this cheery version. He could not help but snicker as the old picture shattered in his mind.
"Maybe you should get married, someone needs to help her, you will be very busy after this war." He said to Enel, who immediately became serious.
"It is as I thought, It seems i will have to invite you to my wedding soon."
"So, who is the girl?" Vox asked a bit curious. which woman did Enels mother find for him. To his Question Enel shrugged his shoulder.
"She said I knew her and she knew me and we used to play together a lot. Though, I don't remember any of it. Sometimes, love develops inside a relationship. As long mother is happy, I am happy." He said then dismissed the topic, all in due time.
"Now, for the plan during the war. I will kill Akainu and Kizaru. You should try to hold off Whitebeard, but don't kill him, not that you can."
"Oh, I have gotten fairly strong, now tell me, how will you kill 2 admirals?" Enel thought he was joking, to kill w admirals, especially someone as fast as Kizaru, he would need to be so much stronger.
"It will be a surprise. But remember, don't fight me, just stay occupied with Whitebeard." Vox then looked at the Fullbring siblings.
"As for the 4 of you, You are to fight on their side and show your merits. Remember to stay near each other and have each others backs. With 2 admirals gone, they will need more strong people to take those positions to raise the morals of the marines. The 4 of you are to become these admirals." He then looked at the rest, his eyes shortly rested on Kahn and Sam who were sneakly holding hands, he just smiled and ignored them.
"The rest of you will fight in groups of two, your job is to kill as many high ranking officers as possible. The plan is to infiltrate the marines and make the marines our force under the nose of the world government. As long we have people in high positions, we can do that without problems, I will provide strong people who have been training with the revolutionary army and are more than capable fulfilling roles such as captains, commodore, Rear Admirals. But that is all for later."
Vox then looked at his summons, most of them were listening quietly.
"After this war, I will make 5 of you into living beings. Psy and Forma are 2 of them. The other 3 will be Curran, Queen and whoever does best in this war." Vox really was not sure I'd it was right to make them living beings, because they will no longer be absolutely loyal to him, the only thing that still applies to them is that the system or it's functions was a taboo. The moment they even have the intention of revealing it, they will die without knowing how. He has many cards, but only a few of them he can trust.
When Wendy and Wright heard about Curran becoming human, both of them grew excited. Samuel and Psy also got very excited as Psy almost let out a tear. Forma was also happy to get a chance at being alive. Queen however was not interested.
"I wish to remain as a card Master." She said to the shock of everyone in the tent.
"Why?" Vox asked, not expecting her answer.
"I wish to be of service to master, if master were to make me human, my power would reset, am I correct?"
"Yes."
"Unlike the others, my powers used XYZ materials to use it's effect. If I were to become human, I will not only lose that ability, but also never regain it. Besides, I have no interest in being human." Her answer made Vox quite happy. Because of that he did not bother with it. He would just grant someone else that chance that deserves it. Maybe Silver? or Heli?
Vox then dismissed everyone to do what they want, truth is, he wanted to meet Rayleigh and kill Kizaru here. But if he were to do that, he might make the marines rush the execution, which would ruin his plans. He has to stay hidden until the very last moment. That way they won't request help from the WG.
"Night Wing, want walk around with me?" Vox asked the ever quite girl at his side. Who smiled and nodded her head. Vox then together with her walked around Sabaody.
The view was beautiful here, the weather, the greenery, the happy faces. All of it, was just a facade. A sham that hid the darkness under the light. The pirates, pirate hunters, slaves, murder. Everything was here. People just dealth with it, as they can't change anything.
Vox saw a few of the super rookies, but he was not interested in them. They are not in his plans, he does not need them. He will kill most of them off later. People like Eustas Kid, who kill because someone does not believe the same thing he does. Such unstable people are better fed to the sea kings. He would only let a few of them live. Bonny, Law and Luffy. For the others, they need to show their worth. Show that they can be civilized people.
Before long Night Wing and Vox reached a bar. Shakky's to be more accurate. Vox wanted to meet the man who is aware of the One Piece. Just what is this treasure? Is it knowledge as many have had hypothesized in his past life? or was it just a very special devil fruit? maybe the last piece of the grand line? What about gold and gems? No one knows for certain. Well, the man who he was supposed to meat did.
When Vox entered inside, he saw Shakky and a few of the straw hats there. Attracting their attention a bit, Vox greeted them with a smile and walked towards Shakky herself. Trying his best to to kill a certain blond experiment for flirting with his woman.
"May I know where I can find Rayleigh, I have a business proposition for him." Vox told Shakky who was a bit surprised. Not many people knew Rayleigh, those who did, did not tell further. It was never a good idea to anger someone of his caliber.
"My husband is currently not here, he should be back in a few days." Vox smiled at her response, and decided to call it a day. He was aware of where he was. But he wanted to establish a relation with his wife to make it clear he was on friendly terms. Rayleigh was one of the few Yonko level powerhouses, Vox believed that he could kill Kizaru if he wished when the fought in the original. But being retired, he was fairly *rusty* to put it in gamer terms. Not to mention old age weakening him aswel.
As Vox excited, he did not forget to give a hard kick to Sanji for flirting with Night Wing as he left. The other strawhats did not even bother.
When Vox and Night Wing had left, Nami gave Sanji another kick and scolded him for a few minutes.
When Vox was walking towards the auction, he noticed the Celestial Dragon going towards there as well. He was used to seeing slaves after his conquest in the east blue, but it did not make his rage any less intense. he just learned to control it, and wait for the right time.
Having Night Wing wear her hoody, they walked inside the auction house to wait for it to start. Vox felt a very powerful presence with his observation Haki, and that presence felt him as well. But Vox did not mind, he already knew who it was. It did not take long for the auction house to fill, the super rookies coming here.
"Let them dance." Vox softly said that only Night Wing heard, she giggled and kept her eyes at the stage.
