A girl born from the ashes
10 days later
Galan was standing on the bow of a Marine warship with its cannons aimed at an Island. This island had a towering tree in the middle of it.
O'Hara, West Blue…
Galan was cloaked with his Admiral coat but he was wearing his vest with leather gloves, his arms crossed in front of his chest with his shotgun slinged around him on his back.
A old snail with a beard started screaming with siren noises as the Marines started scrambling. The Vice-Admirals looked at Galan, who looked at the island, his Observation Haki covering it nearly completely.
He saw Saul running in a direction and a little girl crying along with a bunch of scholars putting out fires and Olvia breaking down.
Galan saw the people getting on an evacuation ship and said with a tone as cold as ice "Begin." as soon as the words were uttered the Marine Warships started firing at the island, explosions going off all over the place.
Massive flames erupted around the island and Galan could hear the screams as the ships drew closer.
Aokiji was standing being Galan looking at the carnage in silence before leaving the ship and disappearing on the island.
Galan stood still for a few moments before disappearing as well, leaving behind the words "Until O'Hara no longer exists."
Galan appeared in front of the scholars of O'Hara and looked at the three Cipher Pol members.
Everyone looked at him and the leader this time saying "Admiral Galan! Chief Spandine! We aren't off the island!" Galan spread his Conqueror's haki around the group, blocking interference as he took out his shotgun, walking to Spandine and taking the snail from his hands.
He made sure it was off before asking "The Gorosei have hung up? Where's the rest of CP9?" Spandine saluted and said "They're heading for the ships! I only have my two assistants with me. We only need to bring Nico Olvia with us now."
Galan nodded and pointed at the snail, Spandine confirming "The Gorosei are satisfied with this operation!" Galan let out a breath and said "That's good." before turning to Nico Olvia on the ground, his smile fading to a blank expression as he said "You know, I knew I couldn't let this happen."
The Scholars, Olvia, the little girl, and CP9 agents were confused.
Suddenly, Galan raised his shotgun, saying "It's Admiral Black Raven." and blew Spandine's head clean off, stunning everyone. He looked up at the Tree of Knowledge, sighing "Why couldn't you all just go with Dragon… Why must you force me…" the CP9 agents turned and ran but they didn't get far as Galan pounced on one of them, smashing his skull into the ground, blowing it up like a watermelon.
He flashed and grabbed the other agent's leg, dragging him back and tossing him on the ground. He stepped on his chest and stuffed the shotgun in his mouth, saying "Now you're all dead and the World Government gets what they want…"
He pulled the trigger and blood splashed on Nico Olvia's face, petrifying the little girl and the rest of the scholars.
He reloaded his shotgun and kicked the three corpses together before digging his fingers into the ground and tossing out the chunk of land they were on, throwing them into the air.
A cannonball flew into the path and obliterated the evidence, raining blood on everyone.
Galan closed his eyes and turned to them, holding the barrel of the shotgun to Olvia's temple. She closed her eyes and the little girl ran at Galan, smashing on his leg and crying "Stop! Don't hurt my mommy!"
Galan turned to her and stared at her, the little girl looked up at him and trembled in fear at his emotionlessly blank gaze.
The Scholars ran into the Tree of Knowledge, leaving only a man with a clover haircut, Olvia, and the little girl.
Galan stared at the little girl and said "Remember this, little girl. This is the Monster in your life. The World Government. The Marines. Hate me, Hate the Government, Hate the World, there is no black and white, only good and evil."
He moved the shotgun to her face and asked "What's your name." The little girl froze and Olvia's eyes widened, "ROBIN?! NO! STOP! IT'S ME YOU WANT! ISN'T IT?!" Galan ignored her and stepped on her head, repeating "What's your name."
The little girl cried and said "Robin! Nico Robin!" Galan cracked his neck and held up his hand, the Sun pendant dangling from his leather glove, "I am the Evil of the world, Robin. And I won't stop. I'll never stop. Do you understand me? The Government created you and me, I was born in an ash heap and you will be too."
Robin sniffled in fear and Galan pressed the barrel on her chest, looking into her eyes as he added softly "As long as there's light and justice in your heart, it doesn't matter if you're a Pirate or a Marine. Remember that, always." as he flipped the shotgun in his hand, grabbing the barrel as it turned pitch black, a goopy aura covering it.
He swung it to the side, staring at Robin as a giant black fist smashed towards him.
The fist was stopped by the butt of the shotgun and Saul roared angrily "How could you?! She's just a child! We're supposed to be the good guys!" Galan looked at Robin and said gently "We're not. There are Good Marines, I'm not one of them." as he threw Olvia into Robin's arms, allowing them to hug.
Robin burst into tears and Olvia smiled gently, hugging Robin as the man sat there in the background, stone faced with his arms crossed.
Galan flicked Saul's fist away and grabbed Robin's collar, throwing her to Saul as she screamed "Mommy!" Galan flipped the shotgun back and pressed on the back of Olvia's head, saying "Remember this day, Robin! The day you were born again!" as Saul started running, Robin reached out behind him and shrieked "MOMMMMMMMMMMMY!"
Until a gunshot rang in her ears and she burst out crying, Saul taking her away and looking back as he disappeared.
