Volume 4 Chapter 18

Somewhere undisclosed.

"I heard that the sleeper agent found the fruit you were looking for? How many years has it been" a man in the room asked the other person who stood beside him in a lab coat

"Yes, our genetically modified champion has now acquired the Yami Yami no Mi (Darkness Darkness Fruit). 700 years ago you were not there so you didn't see the power of the one we came to know as Joy Boy. This is the only way to restrict the Sun!" The scientist said as he turned around looking at the person in front of him.

"Vegapunk, you really should do something about this body of yours. Your current host is already breaking apart!" the person said as he closed his eyes in disgust.

"Dont worry, the next host has been prepared," Vegapunk replied as he tried to smile the decaying lip on his face fell off.

West Blue Academy

"Listen up recruits! Now that everyone is here, it is time we started on the actual training. You may address me as Instructor Q. As much as I would like to train you all in the old way, break you and remould you as perfect marines, I can not do that. You all have heard the news, war is about to break out! We need specialised Soldiers more than ever. We will be using technology from the Engineering Department and the new cutting-edge technology developed on the Atlantis to push your physical strength up while focusing on your special skills."

"Ussop and Nojiko! will be assigned to the Sniper training"

"Helm, Yosaku and Jonny! will be assigned to Swordsmen training"

"Zoro! will be assigned to Live Combat training. Unlike the rest, you are one fine specimen young man. We have different plans for you."

"Sanji and Coby! will be assigned to Unarmed training"

"Yellow Scarf Chopper! will be going into Live Combat training also to develop your Zoan Devil Fruit"

"Yellow Scarf Luffy! you need to understand the properties of rubber as well as going through the Live Combat training." Instructor Q looked around making sure he had not missed anyone. In the corner of the field was the last group to arrive.

"Our guest from Water 7, welcome to the West Blue Academy. I am sure you must have met the Dean already?" the instructor asked, upon getting a nod as a response he continued "Here in the Academy we have an advance shipwright workshop, harbour and port so you can feel at home here."

"Instructor Q, May I say something," Iceburg asked politely

"Permission granted"

"Would it be possible for me to join the workshop here, can a place be arranged for Kokoro and Chimney too?" Iceberg asked.

"We have considered that! Someone will be leading you to your station after this gathering."

"What about me! You kidnapped me from Water 7 and now you are pretending I am not here. What about my people at the scrap yard, why are they not here? What is going to happen to them? Mozu and Kiwi," Franky could not help but cry as he thought of the rowdy members of his organisation.

"Franky, I made sure they would be taken care of before we left. Also, I was the one who asked the marine to bring you along as this involves Tom's Legacy. You always said you would be the shipwright of that legendary ship. Look here, they are allowing us to build that ship. Will you go back on your words now Cutty Flam" Iceburg said as he held unto Franky's collar.

"Instructor Q, Can you assign this idiot to a training class. He will be going along with your team during this mission as their shipwright.

"Very well, Franky as a Cyborg the training regime we have here will do you no good. But luckily we have with us the Doctor onboard the Atlantis. I am sure he has useful knowledge that will aid your training since the Atalantis has a cyborg soldier as well.

We only have about a year to turn you recruits into soldiers. So look alive, training starts now!"

"Sir, we have compiled the positions of the Celestial Navy for your review" a secretary walked into the office with a pile of documents in her hand.

'It looks like the majority of the big names followed me here to the Celestial Navy. There should be only Garps Faction left in the Marines.'

"Linda!" He called out

"Yes Sir!" The secretary replied

"Inform the Admirals to speed up the training! I want to start the campaign in less than 18 months"

On the Atlantis

"Captain, now that we have wrapped up our adventure at Wano, where to next?" Brains asked

"ELBAF!" Ezra replied.
