Garling's Pov: 

I walked out the main building and towards the sight of a small penthouse. 

Stationed on it was a group of marines who wore marine uniforms .

They opened the door the moment they saw me and I entered the penthouse. 

I momentarily looked around before I walked to a door I opened that led to an empty hallway.

The hallway was empty but its walls were adorned in numerous paintings of different figures.

I walked past numerous ones before I stopped on one that had an empty picture .

I pressed the entirety of the empty portrait with no picture and the wall it was hanging moved aside. A sound of something coming up fast resounded for a couple of seconds before it stopped as a small platform appeared in my sight. I stepped on the platform and it moved downwards a second later. 

I calmly and silently stood on it and I arrived at my destination a minute later. I was greeted with the sight of a golden-haired man adorned in golden armor sitting on a golden chair with a golden set of gauntlets on both of his hands. 

A golden helmet was set on the table beside him. He looked up from the book he was reading as he slowly stood up while putting the book away. He kneeled and waited for my order. I said ,

"At ease Kogane, I have orders from above." He stopped kneeling and stood up as i continued to say in a clam and even tone,

" Gather one God knight and the best CP0 agents available. After 15 years of inactivity, it's time for us to fulfill our majesty's will once more." A small temporary smile  graced his face before he schooled his expression as he said in a cold tone mixed with some excitement,

" Understood, Captain Garling.I'll get to it right away". I nodded in satisfaction before I took his empty seat as he walked to the platform and dissipated in the same manner I arrived. I sighed as I took a small bottle of wine from my outfit and drank some while thinking,' Let's hope this doesn't end in the same manner as god valley, although i doubt it seeing as roger is no longer in the world of the living.

  Narrators Pov: 

While people reacted and plotted due to his actions, the cause of all this was currently taking a long nap after an intense training session consisting of making sure the waves and other weather phenomena of the New World didn't destroy his ship and kill his crew mates.

He was currently napping as snot bubbles kept forming and popping. As one was about to pop for the nth time, his left eye opened as he tilted to the side in time to avoid some bird poop. A tick mark formed on his head as he directed his gaze on the bird that was flying away. A wave of haki emanated from him and the bird was falling towards the water as if its wings were cut. As it was about to hit the ocean, sharp teeth emerged from the water and the bird was no more a second later.The teeth rose up as the figure of a sea king towered on the still moving ship.

The sea king looked at the ship and a second later, its jaws opened wide up as its jaws came down on the ship, intending to swallow it up. Just as it was about to do just that, its instincts flared to lids in an extreme manner as it felt the cold feeling of a blade pressed on its neck. 

It twisted its head to look at who was holding its neck hostage only to be met with the sight of a red-haired teenager who was wearing a straw hat on his head and a white shirt with brown pants. The teen had an extremely menacing expression as the saber in his hand almost dug into the sea king's neck. The teen looked at the sea king for a moment before he then said,

" Piss off. I'm not in the mood for sea king meat for breakfast''.

An extreme amount of killing intent solely directed towards it was emitted by the teenager as soon as he finished his sentence. And the sea king did not have to be a scientist to know it was out of its league as it scurried off to the bottom of the ocean, happy the human at least let it live.

The red-haired teen on the other hand simply jumped in the air as he moved fast and he landed on the deck of the ship a minute later. Just as he landed, he heard the sound of a door being opened. A smile crept to his face as he heard a soft voice say,

" Glad you're awake captain, breakfast ready and Levi's sleeping in. Yesterday's training session seems to have been too grueling for his body to handle at the moment.'' 

The red-haired teen said nothing as he simply went past the opened door into the kitchen of the ship. He was met with the sight of his vice-captain,Kenny, cooking eggs and bacon. He hummed as he then said,

" That's fine, today's a rest day anyways. We'll pick up training in two days. Also take a rest, although your body can handle the training without much strain, taking a break once in a while never hurt anybody."  The vice-captain simply scoffed as he flipped a piece of bacon over as he said in half-serious half joking manner,

" Don't worry about me captain, you should take your own advice though captain. Afertall, you train the hardest and our current workout seems like child's play compared to your's." 

" I'm serious kenny and that's an order from your captain by the way. I'm used to training my body and skipping even one day of it feels so wrong."

" And you're the one telling us to rest. I'll do it anyways, it'll give some time to relax.Now you should read the newspaper, it contents will surprise, i guarantee it captain.'' The captain yawned in response as he said in a slightly lazy tone, 

" i'll do that after eating breakfast, nothing like a good morning meal before a workout session.''  The vice-captain just sighed,shook his head,smiled and went along with the whims of his captain as he served him breakfast, with some wine that he always insisted every time he cooked eggs and bacon.
