Return...

Chapter 57

Title: Return...

….

After the fight with Shiki. Jaw and his children chased him through East Blue, New World, Calm Belt, and many more areas of the world. But after a couple of months Jaw had to return home or else the other Yonko might get some strange ideas. At the same time, he also didn't allow any of his kids to go and chase Shiki. Since Mikoto already had Shiki marked by her Mark-Mark Fruit. So there was no rush currently to hunt him down yet.

Still, Jaw was also having another problem, the Marines were sniffing around his territory. Currently, his territories are very divided and he needs to go through other Yonko's territories to be able to get to his other territory. Now to him, this is extremely inefficient. True, Whitebeard doesn't really mind as long as he doesn't cause trouble. But Kaido and Big Mom get very prickly about it.

Jaw is currently in his main warship, which isn't really anything special and it's mostly used as a method of transportation of materials. Also due to him using the coating on his shop to travel underwater with fishman guards, that is why his trade ships never get stolen or damaged. One is because he is a Yonko and if someone decides to mess with him then he will destroy them. Second, it is that they travel underwater, that is also the reason Jaw doesn't mind getting better territories on the outskirts and close to other Yonko's territories. Because these underwater travel methods are his way of absolutely ruling the underwater world. He plans to open some bases in the Blues but he will need to be secretive about it.

The World Government won't like this if they know about it. So Jaw's crew and businesses will have 'accidents' as soon as he tries to establish overseas. 

As Jaw is contemplating this he is just lying down on his bed inside his main ship. 'How do I handle this situation…'

Jaw's mind goes through many different ideas and such. Though he might not be the smartest man in the world and he can definitely be tricked and even possibly manipulated by the people smarter than him. He still thinks and contemplates his future actions way longer than a genius would need to, but he should be able to come up with moderately good plans as a genius would be able to. Though the genius might need one hour to come up with what Jaw would need ten days to come up with. 

He also plans many of his future decisions and their possible derivations. 

….

While he was contemplating this, in Mariejois, the Gorosei (Five Elders) were in a lavish room waiting for someone. Suddenly the door opens and Sengoku comes in with a calm look on his face as he says. "You guys are sending the marines to sniff around Yonko Jaw's territory. You know how that guy can be. We will have all of our military bases in the New World destroyed and no Celestial Dragons will dare to step in Sabaody Archipelago, as he will kill them all. This is a stupid decision. Also, that red hair pirate who has been growing stronger in the new world is more of concern currently, if another Emperor of the Sea appears… then the balance of power will flip."

As Sengoku says this his face morphs into an angry scowl. He knows that marines will die in the thousands, and for what? For nothing that is what. 

'Jaw will slaughter them all just so he can send a message to these stuck up old brain dead fu*ks.' Angrily Sengoku curses the Five Elders inside his head. He can't stand the sight of people willing to sacrifice men and look at them as just numbers. They don't think of them as fellow humans, as men with families, aspirations, dreams, and a family waiting for them to come back. 'Garp was right staying as a Vice Admiral, he doesn't have to listen to these old fools at least.'

One of the Five Elders who is lying on the couch while holding a sword just looks at Sengoku and says. "It doesn't matter. Jaw has dangerous plans, he is a dangerous man and his influence grows stronger by the day."

Sengoku can't help it as he clenches his teeth together. "You are also god damn working with him!!!"

 The elder with the strange curls and scar on his face just shakes his head at this. "Sengoku, we never work with pirates. We are simply doing an exchange of resources."

"But you are still making him stronger. No matter how you put it, the devil fruit, Seastone weapons, and the leverage that you give him to go and just simply take two high-level scientists… WHILE WE DO NOTHING!!! HE IS YOUR PROBLEM NOW, NO MATTER WHAT I WILL NOT SEND MEN TO CLEAN YOUR MESS ANYMORE!!!"

As he says that Sengoku walks away from the people who are technically his superiors. He doesn't care what they have to say, they could ask their little pet admiral Akainu to do their bidding and go cause havoc in Jaw's territory. 

'But they know that they will be losing a very valuable dog if they decided to do that.' Thinks Sengoku, knowing that Akainu is most likely to lose if he fights Jaw on the sea. 

….

At the same time, on the first half of the Grand Line in a certain marine battleship. A purple-haired man with a mechanical arm was ordering the men around him. This man is the ex admiral Zephyr.

"You there, take a hold of the rudders." Orders Zephyr. That one of the recruits calls out. "Zephyr sir, a ship has been spotted not that far away."

Zephyr looks towards the ship and sees an insignia that he is very familiar with. The ship looks like your average marine ship and it only has a crow head at the front of it.

Zephyr smiles a little at this and announces to the people around him by saying. "Everyone! Gether up and get ready to welcome Commander Karasu."

Immediately as he says that a door from the ship is slammed open and Ain comes out with a wide smile on her face. 

"Itachi is here?!?!?!?" Exclaims Ain, and when Zephyr nods. She immediately squeals like a fangirl.

Even the other marines in the ship were surprised at hearing who it was. They are about to meet Itachi Uchiha, who is also known as Karasu (Crow). He is the youngest person to ever gain the Commander Rank, he will be the same for the Captain Rank too. He will be the youngest captain and the one who was raised through ranks. It is suspected that Itachi will become the next Admiral of the marines. Already he has a terrifying reputation and no pirate under 100,000,000 ß bounty can contend with Itachi.

One of the younger trainees in the camp also has stars on her eyes. Though she doesn't express her feelings about it like Ain just did. 

She is Isuka, a young woman with short vermilion hair, brown eyes, a bandaid on her left cheek, and a burn scar on the back of her hand. She wears a Marine uniform with a collared, buttoned shirt, a tie, brown gloves, shorts, and heeled boots. 

She is a recruit to the marines and she owes a huge debt to Itachi. 

'I wonder if he remembers me from back then.' Wonders Itsuka.

AUTHOR NOTE:

That girl apparently seemed to be a crack whòre. So I wouldn't touch her with a stick.
