Start To Everything

Same Day

Marineford- Kong's office

In the current fleet admiral Kong's office sitting down at two couches at the two ends of the room are six of the highest-ranking officers currently in the Marines. They were wearing their uniforms indicating their ranks being that of Vice Admirals and Admirals.

" Are the reports true? Why would pirates like the Golden Lion, World Ender, and the Mad Titan all met up in secrets now of all time?" Kong asked in a heavy voice to the room.

Everyone sat there in silence before one of the Admirals with a black hair afro and a mustache took a deep breath and spoke up, " Somehow all of three had met up without us or CP-0 knowing anything about it."

" From some of the information, CP-O gained yesterday, all three of them fought against each other, why they would do that right now is currently unknown to us along with who won the fight as well. We don't even know what island they fought on."

" We also received a report that Rocks had met up with several other top pirates as well. Kong-san I'm afraid if all those pirates ally together, it could rival the World Government itself." Sengoku spoke as the room turned even colder after what he said.

" We can't yet be 100% sure all of them are going to form an alliance, don't forget nearly all of them have bad blood between them. Their pride won't allow them to work together either. ", The only female in the room named Tsuru spoke after Sengoku.

She was one of the few female Vice Admirals in Marineford. She had turquoise blue tied in a ponytail. She is well known for her skills as a tactician but is still a powerhouse.

" Tsuru-chan you're taking this too seriously, the chances of those guys working together is way too low...Bwahahahahah, you guys need to loosen up a little." Garp laughed as he opened up a bag of crackers offering them annoying everyone in the office.

" Garp, shut up would you," Kong yelled out as he slammed making Garp shut up as he ate his crackers a lot quieter.

" Now Rex, you fought against Lance, one of the three tyrants, did you notice him getting weaker? He's nearly 70 years old now." Kong asked the other Admiral in the office.

Rex is a tall human with broad shoulders similar to all other Admirals. He has a scar across his forehead along with multiple scars all over his arms and a beard as well.

"It's just like Tsuru-san predicted, Lance has gotten a lot weaker because of his age, in a couple of more years, he won't be able to use haki properly anymore. I would have captured him had his crew not been there."

"The other two tyrants are most likely in a similar situation. After all, they are around the same age." Rex answered after Kong asked him about the results of his fight against Lance.

" Even if they are slowly losing their strength, all three of them have ruled the New World for over 15 years now. We can't underestimate their strength and influence." The last Vice Admiral in the office said known as Black Fist Zephyr. He had purple hair cropped back and wore a Marine cap on his head unlike the other admirals in the office.

He was the youngest in the office and one of the Two Admiral candidates along with Garp. It's just that his strength hasn't yet reached that level. And Garp keeps refusing the promotion.

" We must likely don't have to take any actions concerning them. For the past years, there weren't any major battles that the three tyrants fought in but now that peace is about to be broken. Rocks and Roger won't allow them to rule anymore.

" And all the other pirate crews now have a grown where they can dethrone them as well. We just have to watch that battles rage on and we could take them all down once they are weakened from their battles." Tsuru said after thinking through everything.

"It's for the best that we aren't that one that breaks the balance in the New World. It's just like Tsuru said, pirates, will be pirates. They will fight and kill each other, we just have to watch from the sidelines and capture them once they are finished. I have CP-0 and CP-9 to watch any moves that Rocks makes."

" And Garp make sure you catch Roger this time. Lately, he's gotten interested in the red poneglyphs. We can't allow that Roger pirates to keep letting them do as they wish." Kong ordered Garp making him stop eating his crackers.

( Roger didn't directly confront the World Government at this point until now that Roger wants to reach Laugh Tale. So the Marines and the World Government left the Roger pirates mostly alone except for Garp. But this is just my guess so Im making it an AU.)

Garp wiped the crumbs on his face before he started laughing, " Bwahaha, whenever I'm this close to capturing that bastard, he and his crew always escaped somehow.

" Don't worry, I catch him one of those days," Garp said going back to eating his crackers not minding that multiple death stares.

" Zephyr and Rex, I'm stationing you two on G1 and G2 in the New World to watch any moves made by the three tyrants and the other top pirate crews.

" Pirates nowadays are appearing a lot more now compared to before. The Marines need fresh blood as well. Speaking of which, Tsuru, your little sister is about to join along with Garp's brat as well isn't that right." Kong asked the two as he got a yes from Tsuru and Garp. Little did they know that the upcoming era was going to be even more cataclysmic for the Marines.

" O right, Sengoku, I need you to go the West Blue and bring a brat back here." Kong ordered Sengoku to surprise to the surprise of some Admirals.

" Kong-san to send an Admiral to go recruit a kid in the West Blue is a bit too much don't you think," Sengoku asked in shock forgetting he join the Marines in the same way.

" Don't forget Sengoku you joined the Marines that same way."

" And this kid isn't an ordinary brat either. Drake Ancologia, a child born with a generational talent similar to yours and Garp.

" That kid can already use conquerors and armament haki along with him learning some of the Rokushiki techniques on his own."

"Fortunately for us, he already planned on joining the Marines couple of years from now but it's best he joins Headquarters early as he can. According to the reports we received his father was the former commander of the 1st branch before he retired from the Marines."

"The kid right now is a pirate hunter. And successful to the point, he nearly hunted down all the top pirates in the West Blue. Now all the remaining pirates have teamed up to take down the kid. We can't allow a kid like him to die to pirates."

"The only reason that kid didn't join the Marines yet is because of corruption in several of the branches in the West Blue. That's why I'm sending you since I'm sure both of you will form a connection with your backgrounds being so similar and to protect him if anything goes wrong in the operation of Iron Cell."

(It's the mission that Drake and Ethan were talking about in the previous chapter.)

"And to check out the branches with reported corruptions by the commanding officers," Kong explained to Sengoku and everyone else surprising them for a few minutes due to the potential and talents of Drake.

And just how serious the corruption in the West Blue was and why they never got any reports about it. It didn't take them long to realize that reports they received in the past were false.

It's a situation that is similar to Arlong. Ethan and Drake's dad reported the situation but for various reasons, the reports were changed somehow in Marineford before they reached Kong's office until now as Drake directly stated it on why he won't join the Marines yet.

" That only one who I can think of being so strong at such a young age is Charlotte Linlin, does that kid have a similar body physique to her?" Tsuru asked as she got a no to her question.

" Bawahahaha..." Laughed out Garp ruining the calm.

" It looks Marineford is about to have three little monsters. I wonder if that brat is stronger than my son." Garp said as he picked his nose.

" Seems like we are about to have the second coming of another legendary trio," Rex said laughing after Kong dismissed them. As the Admirals walked out, they had several thoughts about the upcoming years.

-------------------

Inkstone fucking sucks I gotta download each image and put them in the comments. I can't do it directly in Inkstone which is why I don't put up images that much, just takes too much time and effort.

1500 words, long enough, I think. I have trouble writing long chapters so usually, I don't do them unless it's required for the chapter.

And I just don't have the time to answer some of the comments saying they wanted longer chapters since just chapters around 1500 words took up 2 hours for me.

If you liked the chapter, you can drop some power stones or don't. If I made any mistakes let me know as I fix them once I have the time. If you have any valid criticisms about the story, you can leave them in the review section.

Note: Since we know nothing about Rocks and how the Rocks pirates formed, I decided to go with my own route. And I know Dragon right now is like 5 years old but this is an au so they are going to have the same age along with Gion as well and we don't know her age either. I know Gion and Tsuru aren't sisters but this is an au.

The next couple of chapters will about the major battle then will be some chapters about Marineford if everything stays the same and if I don't make extra chapters to add new things.
