In the ship's metting room,
A group of pirates was sitting around the table, having an important discussion concerning the future of their pirate fleet.
Each one of them looked and were monsters in power scaling except for one person. It was a kid who was around six years old. Asther was forced to attend the meeting, although he would have preferred if they kept him out of it all.
"Mama mama, What are you doing here in the meeting of adults, Kids." Big mom looked at Asther and laughed.
"Shihahaha...You must have gotten strong to attend the meeting like our equal." Shiki added to the remark.
Whitebeard didn't seem concerned, and there were a couple of more figures. Recently, Things were changing in rock pirates and for the first time, more than ever, World Government felt threatened.
"It's quite simple if you think about it, there must be one who has brains instead of muscle in the meetings." Asther calmly replied.
"Gurarara, What was your age again Brat?" Whitebeard asked. He seemed to be uninterested in conversation but when Asther said those words, he couldn't hold it.
Asther looked at all the gazes on him and could help but feel a little pressured sitting between these figures.
"Six!"
"Hahaha"
"Shihahaha"
"Mamam"
All the figures burst into laughter.
Then, A figure walked inside, It was Rocks. He called out a meeting for their plans for the future.
A slammed a map on the table as he got in, as everyone's focus diverted to the map with a mark on it.
"What is this Rocks?"
"After years, We found it, The location where World Government stored the Devil fruits collected for over eight hundred years." Rocks stated as he looked at the map.
It was a huge map with a circle around a location, It was something they never anticipated.
"You all get what I mean, Don't you?" Rocks exclaimed.
"This will be the best way to gain power before the final war with World Government." Asther analyzed.
As this piece of information landed on his ears, he knew what was about to come. Rocks pirates went to plunder the God valley and later comforted Marines and Roger pirates.
"You do have brains, but whilst puny strength...I could send you to hell with one punch, Mamama."
'I can't argue with that, but she is talking to a kid.'
Asther didn't reply to her remarks. He had a feeling that she might punch him while holding back but her abnormal strength would kill him for certain.
As he knew, It's better not to mess with Higher-ups of Rocks pirates. Each of them was an Emperor-level character that was unrivaled in their generation.
"What is the name of the island?"
"God valley...A pleasant name for us to rise to power."
At this time, Whitebeard, and Shiki still didn't have their devil fruit. Asther guessed that they would obtain it during the raid at God valley although not confirmed.
'If I am not wrong then Big mom would give Kaido his devil fruit, and his timing in Rocks pirates makes me confirm that the time has come.' Asther thoughts, He knew that going to Rocks valley was inviting trouble.
The world knew that Rocks had a child, and he couldn't think of a reason why Marines would want to spare him. Rather, they might execute him publicly and secure their position in the world.
***
After a month,
The whole fleet of Rocks pirates was approaching God valley. It was an island surrounded by tall and massive mountains with a single opening.
Whilst most would expect that they would try to go through the opening, They didn't and blew up the mountain. A combined attack from Rocks and whitebeard made an opening on the mountain that was big enough to let the ship pass through.
A few days ago after the discussion at Marines Headquarters,
Pururu...Pururu
The current head admiral Kong was having a peaceful day, a rest after completing the task at hand and wanted to rest for a while, and then the transponder snail rung.
"Head admiral Kong speaking, Which division is it?"
"I am the spy at Rocks pirates, If not wrong then the pirates are preparing for a raid at God valley."
"What?" Kong screamed and his heart almost had a heart attack.
God valley had a collection of devil fruits on them that were unrivaled in powers but it would be the least of their problems since God valley was the place where a group of celestial Dragons lived.
"Tell me their position, I repeat tell me their location and the time that might take for them to reach there."
"There seems to be a problem, let me contact you later." He exclaimed.
He could see a figure standing before him, It was a kid of six but better known as Rocks Jr.
"You are the traitor, Eh! Although I would have preferred fighting with you before you reported half of the things to the Marines, Alas, Something is inevitable." Asther exclaimed with a disappointed face.
He sighed a long and deep sigh.
"I can kill you and report it, you are just a brat with little to no power. I have mastered all Marine's secret techniques." He said promptly.
Asther had received devil fruit and that put him above Canon fodder level characters but someone of Canon fodder level character spy wouldn't gain intelligence from all the harassment. They must have possibly sent someone more capable, maybe at the level of Robi Lucci.
"Who said I would be fighting you? There was someone who was about to smash your face before I arrived here." Asther replied promptly.
"Huh!"
A figure with a club walked out and he stood a few meters away from Asther. He was in the opposite direction of Asther.
"Kaido, The new rookie everyone these days is talking about. But he is nothing but a kid like you, so what makes you think you two are capable."
Asther had a katana tucked on the back. He slowly unsheathed it, at the same pace as kaido who lifted his club.
"Gravity control: Dash" Asther lowered the effects of gravity on him and used reverse gravity to repel him towards the Figure.
"Wororo.." Kaido swung his club and dashed towards the figure along with Asther.
*Clank... Ting... * He pulled out two daggers and blocked both of their attacks from the right and left with one hand each.
Asther looked at him in his eyes while Kaido glared at him. Kaido was in a rebellious phase that would never finish or get over. If he despised anything in this world, then it would be marine and how would he let some marines infiltrate the crew he was on?
"Impressive for Brats, but not enough." He kicked kaido on his stomach and sent him a few steps behind.
Astehr swung his katana trying to slice him in half after he had just hit kaido. But, his body moved like paper and easily dodged the slice.
He swung his dagger and thrust it on Asther's shoulder. He was about to slice Asther's hand out but Kaido's club hit him on the back.
The impact sent him flying away as he crashed on the wooden pieces of furniture, which was pure strength with no Haki involved.
"Don't bite more than you can chew, this is not something for Brats," Kaido remarked giving him an unattentive look.
Asther was a kid now, even Katana was long compared to him.
"You are right, Handle it yourself." Asther picked out the dagger and walked a few meters away.
He grabbed a chair and sat on it. Then, started looking at Kaido fighting.
'I don't have anything to gain from this, It's best if Kaido does the work.'
He sheathed his katana on the back.
"You Brats think you can defeat me, What a joke!"
He dashed towards kaido while swinging his Dagger, and kaido swung his club. But, his paper-like body swiftly dodged the attack and umped towards kaido as he clashed with Kaido's club and stomped kaido on the ground.
"Brats like you should zip it." He yelled.
He was furious and now glared at Asther.
Asther's expression changed when he looked at him but suddenly a smile appeared on his face.
"Ooh Whitebeard, He is the traitor and now trying to kill us since he knows our secret." Asther made a surprised expression as he suddenly got up from his seat.
"Whitebeard! No not." He suddenly turned around with a grave expression.
A dagger was hurled towards him and pierced him on the back. It was the dagger from before that he thrusted on Asther now thrusted on him.
He had been previously stomping Kaido's head but as he turned he let of go Kaido's head and now Kaido was out of his grasp and smashed his club on the back of the dagger.
The force of the impact caused the dagger to pierce right out of his chest and it made a hole in his heart.
"That was a lie!" He couldn't see Whitebeard but could now feel a hole through his chest as blood blurted out of the hole.
He dropped dead to the ground.
"That takes out the traitor, Now there shouldn't be no interference until God valley." Asther walked towards the dead body.
"Why did you interfere? I could have killed him myself, and didn't need to rely on cheap tricks."
Asther's reply to this was a single world, "Pirates!"
He took out a gun tucked in and aimed it at the head of the traitor, he could see the light of life on him.
*Baam...Boom...* Gunshots on the head.
