Chapter 239 – Visit at the Marine Headquarters

  Jayr POV - Blue Star, Grand Line, Fish-man Isnd - 21 GAP

  A heavy silence falls on the Sea Forest after Robin finishes narrating the true history of this world, finally revealing the truth hidden behind the so mysterious Void tury.

  Some of the things that Robin just revealed are so shog, that I'm still trying to digest them, 'Holy shit... that was for sure... quite illuminating in many different ways... first of all, p Blue Star was encircled by 8 smaller satellites ps, which were the homeworlds of the many different races that now live here... then for some reason that Imu caused all these satellites po collide against oher f the moon f the species to move to p Blue Star... the existence of this very powerful race called Lunarians... The Creation of the Great A Kingdom of Dion... JoyBoy, the Warrior of Liberation with the title of Sun God... his close friends the Earth God, the Rain God, and the Forest God... The ari Family was allied to the A Kingdom... but more important of all, is the existenu who now that I think about it is very likely to be the st boss of this universe and the in of the Devil Fruits and the very likely existance of a Devil Fruit Tree... that is a LOT!'

  While I'm thinking that, I suddenly focus on Robin standing beside me as she mutters in a choked voice while her body shakes and tears fall from her eyes, "Finally... hic... after so many years... hic... I have finally uncovered the true history... I have finally fulfilled Mom, Professor Clover, and everyone else's wish! I finally did it...!!"

  Looking at Robin like, I 't hold myself back from unsciously ing my arm arourembling shoulders to pull her closer to my body and give her some form of fort and support, in response, Robin hugs me back burying her head into my chest as she mutters, "Thank you, Jayr... thank you for helping me in fulfilling my wish and dream... thanks for everything you have done for me... for being here with me!"

  In the peaceful atmosphere of the Sea Forest, we remain hugging each other like that for quite some time as her is willing to let go of the other, and then after some time, we separate and Robin looks at me with a pure, bright smile on her face as she says, "Thank you. Let's head back to the pace, I'm sure that some of the information we have dug up will be useful to the members of the Revolutionary Army, and I think we should at least warn Sorrento about the possible presenu hidden somewhere in Mary Geoise, especially sidering its presumed immortality..."

  The beautiful image of her smiling face leaves me stunned for a few moments but then I snap back to reality and finally register the words she just said, and I agree with her suggestion with a nod.

  But before leaving the Sea Forest, I make sure to teleport all the replicas of the Poneglyphs to the ste of the Athena's God Bidoof to keep them as souvenirs and reminders of this adventure, and after doing that, we head back to the Ryugu Pace to inform the others about what we have found out.

  Of course, Dragon and the others were shocked to learn about the truth behind the Void tury, but what is surprising is that Kuma and Bonney already knew about the existence of the Sun God, Nika because apparently Kuma is actually a Bueers, a nearly-extinct special race of humanoids taller than average humans but smaller than giants.

  The legend of the Sun God Nika has been passed down in bueer folklore for many geions, as Nika is revered as a divine figure who will bring joy and freedom to the world as per Bueer beliefs, moreover Bueers are said to have itted a great crime against the world in the past, due to which they are forced to hide from the Wovero avoid persecution and if discovered, a Bueer and their family may be forced into svery for the World Nobles.

  But with the revetion of Void tury, it is clear that the "great crime" that they speak of was simply standing by JoyBoy's side as they fought against the treacherous 20 Kingdoms and their evil ways.

  Ahing that worried them was Imu's existend its presumed immortality, but as soon as he heard about it, Emporio Ivankov hypothesized that Imu may instead be one of the First Twenty from 800 years ago maybe even their leader, a member of the Nerona Family named Saint Imu, who would have received the "Perennial Youth Operation" and not this incredibly powerful being that we just learned about, he even brought out a book about all the twenty World Nobles families to prove it, but in the end, we e to the clusion that the history described in the Poneglyphs is the more reliable source betweewo.

  But before they could start to panic I quickly reassured them that even if Imu really has some form of immortality, it still isn't an insurmountable problem because Sorrento's signature teique, the Dead End Symphony, in which he pys a song on his flute that is able weakens his oppoo the point that they are uo fight back should be more than enough to deal with him or her.

  The reason for that is that the music directly resonates within the oppo's brain, meaning that even if the oppo ot physically hear the song, he would still be affected, moreover, the Dead End Climax, which is unleashed once Sorrento reaches the climax of his song, will kill his oppo by destroying their mind meaning that even if Imu is physically immortal he or she would still end up at the very least brain dead, in addition, if Sorrento unleashes all his power he is capable of even targetting the oppo's soul instead of the brains, which obviously makes this teique even more deadly.

  And even in the small eventuality that Sorrento or the other Marina General are uo deal with Imu, there is aloseidon behind them, and at this point, no type of immortality or mysterious power save Imu from his divine wrath, the gap between their power level is just too wide.

  After inf everyone of the new information, and reassuring the members of the Revolutionary Army, I spent the rest of the day having fun and pying with Kharna, Galen, Python, Bonney, and Kuma of all the people, but I admit that it was nice seeing the always serious and intimidating Bartholomew Kuma pying and dang with his adopted daughter with a big smile on his face, showing his ki and peaceful nature, making me even more disgusted of the Wover and the current state of this world that turned such kind man into nothing more than a on of fear aru.

  At the very least the idea that such a corrupt and twisted Wover has its days numbered brings a satisfied smile to my face.

  Jayr POV - Blue Star, Grand Line, Marineford - 21 GAP

  I calmly walk ourbulent waters of the Tarai Current with Koby on my shoulders as I expin to him, "These waters are the Tarai Current, a giant spiral o current that flows between and ects the Wover's three major facilities in the first half of the Grand Lihe judicial isnd Enies Lobby, the uer prison Impel Down, and the now former Marine Headquarters Marineford..."

  As I give him a brief rundown of everything he o know, I already see the very famous and iic Gates of Justi the distance, which is a massive structure that opens into a water current called the Tarai Current leading to either Impel Down or Enies Lobby, it looks like a rge gate built into the air with the symbol of the Wover on them and decre, "We are almost there... Hold thigh!".

  And without wasting any time, I start to fly over the Gates of Justice giving me a clear sight of our destination, Marineford, a crest moon-shaped isnd that is posed pletely of bricks and steel, with ons on the edges.

  At the back of the isnd, standing rge, tall, and proud is the Marine Headquarters building, the building is a rge multistory a Japaylized pace, with the base bearing the kanji for "Marines" (海軍), with the Marines symbol iween.

  Around the building's four cardinal ers, there is a small mountain with a small building on top and a fg with the Marines' symbol pced on top of the roof.

  Marineford is the isnd of the base of operations for Marine Headquarters, it is where Fleet Admiral Sengoku and the Admirals reside, along with many Vice Admirals and lower officers when they are not assigo another base, while the city surrounding Marineford is inhabited by the families of Marine soldiers.

  The isnd is situated he Sabaody Archipego and id directly eoise on the Red Line.

  The only safe way to reach Marineford is usually through the Gates of Justice, but of course when one fly and teleport whenever he wants and is able to make himself uable by basically any possible means ience makes most of the prote and natural hazards pretty much useless.

  The reasons why I and Koby are heading there are somewhat plicated and simple at the same time, on one hand, I simply want to show Koby the main headquarters of the Marihe pce that will very likely be his new home once I'm gone from this universe, oher hand, the most important reason why I'm here is to talk with Sengoku and the other pilrs of the Marine and vihem to fully abandon the sinking ship that is the oppressive, tyrannical Wover and join forces with the Revolutionary Army and Poseidon's Marinas allowing them to maintain a form of order in the world even as it goes through the ining ges.

  At first, Kiune suggested that Dragon or Kuma should be the oo get in tact with the Marine.

  Dragon because of his identity as the leader of the Revolutionary Army, and a former Marine could help in tag former rades making it more likely to be successful, while Kuma, being still a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea would find it even easier to get in tact with the upper echelons of the Marine.

  But both of them quickly shot down this suggestion, Kuma expihat even if he has an "official" means to get in touch with both the Admirals and the Fleet Admiral, they are mostly one-way, meaning that the Admirals or Fleet Admiral iion, or those uheir and, have to tact him first and even in that case, it is very uhat they would listen to the words of a "pirate" or even find them trustworthy.

  Meanwhile, Dragon quickly decred that his current identity as the "Revolutionary Dragon" would make it impossible to have any kind of versation with any of the Marines as he is beled as the "World's Worst Criminal", he added that his former rade wouldn't listen to any of the words he would say, and even revealed that the only person he could tact within the Marine is his father, Monkey D. Garp but he is way too stubborn to listen to reason and any attempt at ving him would end up in a fist fight in one way or another as it has already happened many times before.

  Of course, the revetion that the "Revolutionary Dragon" is, in fact, the son of the "Hero of the Marines" Monkey D. Garp shocked the shit out of almost everyone present, even more so, when they found out that despite one being a Marine and the other the leader of the Revolutionary Army, the two of them tiurly keep in tact.

  But before the discussion could move further away from the relevant topic, I stepped forward and proposed myself as their envoy, expining that it is something easy for me to read ehe Marine Headquarters in Marineford, in addition, I also told them that I already personally know both Admiral Borsalinon's father, Vice-Admiral Monkey D. Garp, and eve Admiral Sengoku knows about me, moreover, different fron and Kuma, I'm teically still a civilian that is on friendly terms with the Marine as I did give a hand in ing their messes a few times which means that they are more likely to take what I will tell them more seriously.

  My proposal earhe approval of both the Royal Family and the Revolutionary Army and so here I am, flying over Marineford Bay as I head toward the Marine Headquarters building, while at the same time, I tio expin Koby everything I know about it, "This is the Mariford Bay, it has the Encirg Wall installed all around of the isnd, which is posed of thid high steel walls that emerge from uhe sea, surrounding and trapping anyone who is ihe said area, these walls are resistant to even Whitebeard's shock waves, and have ons installed in windows at the top, allowing the Marie the entrapped targets. It is a simple but at the same time effective solution against possible attacks, after all, most of the ehat would end up trapped in this area could only arrive here on ships, making those thid durable walls a very nasty obstacle as it makes them uo nd and if they insist on remaining in the area, they would only be a sitting duck waiting to be shot down by the ons..."

  We calmly tinue our advandeterred as I fly above Marineford Town and tih my lesson, "As you see, the majority of the isnd is occupied by Marineford Town, which as you ote is quite a bit rge, especially pared to most other towns and cities in the world. It is mostly home to the families of the Mariatio Marineford but not every Marine chose to move their families here, because despite being safer and more peaceful than many other towns and cities in the world, you have to remember that first and foremost, this pce is the headquarters of the Marine and as such, a prime target for the most dangerous and reckless pirates. On the ter of the isnd is aion scaffold, and around it is a small town with trees around the area. The front of the scaffold, which is a pin ay area, is known as the Oris Pza, where the Ox Bell stands at the front which is one of the most important pces on the isnd. The Ox Bell is a sacred bell that was inally on the a warship Ox Lloyd's. The ringing of the bell sighe end of one year and the beginning of another. It is ru times to give thanks for the old year, and anht times to wele the new year. If it is rung twice, it signifies some sort of disaster or distress."

  As I tio teach Koby, I finally nd in front of the Marine Headquarters building, and without wasting any time, I put down Koby and together we walk ihe building while everyone around us ignores our presence.

  Seeing that se, Koby 't stop himself from enting, "As expected... Jayr-san just walk inside one of the most heavily defended pces in the world and no one even take notice of it..." which makes me smirk as I say, "This is nothing, I just making so that these marines ignore our presence by messing with their senses... I know of people whose presence is so unnaturally thin and feeble that even Gods ignore and sometimes even fet their existence if they take their gaze away from them for even one sed... Then there are people who are able to rehemselves unseen and unfindable by anything, making them uo be visually, physically, ceptually, etc. detected by any means including magic, teology, divine beings, etc."

  As I tio expin to Koby about the existence of people like J'onn J'onzz/Martian Manhunter from the Diverse, Yu Il-Han from the Everyone Else is a Returnee Universe, Marie Adler from the Infinite Dendrogram Universe and Meleoron from the Hunter x Hunter Universe, we advandeterred until we reach the office located at the highest level of the building, the office of the Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

  Standing in front of the closed door of the office, I quickly use my seo check what is happening oher side and sehe presence of 6 people and one animal.

  Among the people present two are very familiar as I immediately reize the presence of Garp and Borsalino, which means that it is very likely that a meetiween the upper echelon of the Marine is currently ongoing, and realizing that, a smirk forms on my face as I think, 'Lucky!'

  I tio manipute everyone's seo hide our presence as I open the door and calmly walk ih a nervous Koby following behind me, close the door behind me, and start to take a look at the people present in the office.

  I briefly look at the goat sleeping on the floor, at Garp calmly sitting as he eats a cracker, and at Borsalino who is standing together with the other two Admiral before I focus ohers.

  The first ohat catches my attention is a tall, fair-skinned, and muscur man with a long, braided goatee and a mustache, his cap covers his hair, which is set in a rge afro as I know thanks to the anime, he is the Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

  Ironically, despite already being an elderly man of 76 years old at this time, thereby making him a year older than Garp and Rayleigh, Sengoku dispyed little to no physical signs of his actual age, with his hair still not having grayed while Garp, Rayleigh, and Tsuru all are showing signs of their advanced age, this is most likely an effect of the Devil Fruit he ate, the Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Daibutsu (Human Human Fruit, Model: Great Buddha), a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows him to transform into a giant golden Buddha and a human-Buddha hybrid at will, in fact, it is possible that Sengoku is currently staying in his hybrid form so that he won't show any weako his subordinates.

  He wears bck-rimmed gsses and a white and gold full Marine admiral uniform that is adorned with medals, the most distinctive features of this uniform are a life-size seagull on top of his cap, and his oversized Marine coat which he wears like a cape, his coat has the kanji for justice, in blue, embzoned on the back, and has unique colored cuffs, with his being white.

  [colpse]Then my gaze moves to the oldest person in the office, Vice-Admiral Tsuru, a tall, thin, and elderly woman with gray hair tied in a bun who is also calmly sittio Garp listening to what the others are saying.

  Her attire appears to be less formal thaher high-ranking officers, sisting of an untucked shirt, with the sleeves rolled up and a tie around her neck, and calves-long pants, which makes her somewhat resemble the animal of her he e, she sports earrings made of beads and wears two bracelets on her right wrist, the epaulets on her Marine coat are golden for the outer epaulets and purple with two white dots for the inner epaulets.

  (Image Here - Tsuru)

  [colpse]

  In the end, my gaze moves from Tsuru to the two remaining people standing in front of the Fleet Admiral's desk.

  One is an incredibly tall, slim, yet muscur man, at 2,98 meters tall, he is just slightly shorter thaher two Admirals, he has bck, curly hair cut to length that fans out at the tips, tanned skin, and an altogether lean, long build.

  His standard outfit sists of a white buttoned-up vest with a standing colr over a long-sleeved navy-blue shirt, with matg white trousers and bck dress shoes apanied by a matg white suit jacket, he also wears a yellow tie divided geometrically by bck lines and a green and purple sleep mask on his forehead, he is Admiral Kuzan, ame Aokiji, the you of the current Admirals.

  [colpse]Meanwhile, the other one is an incredibly tall, light-skinned, unusually muscur man, the most muscur of the Admirals and being on par with Sengoku and Garp.

  He's about as tall as his fellow Admirals, with a square-shaped face, very pronounced facial features, and short bck hair, and stands at 306 meters tall, making him taller than other massive characters like Jinbe, who is 301 bsp;

  He wears a standard Marine cap and sports a crimson, double-breasted suit, decorated with pears to be a pink rose on his left buttonhole, unlike many high-ranking Marines, he does not wear a tie, but instead leaves his light red colored flower-patterned shirt unbuttoned, showing his mused part of his tattoo, he also wears bck gloves and bck shoes, he only be Admiral Sakazuki, ame Akainu.

  (Image Here - Sakazuki)

  Spoiler

  [colpse]

  While taking a close look at Sakazuki, I 't help but be surprised by the color of his soul, it is of very deep and dark indigo, which is quite surprising as it is the same color that Lenome had when we first met, this means that he isn't the pure evil individual that I expected, but someone who at the very least had good iion but did a lot of awful shit fully believing that was the only way to save even more people.

  (AN: I know, I know. Sakazuki is quite a plicated and discussed character, there are those that simply hate him for killing Ad find all kinds of ways to easily bel him as "evil", and those who don't care about that, but still find his as wrong and pare him to Hitler, those who try to find the good in him, those that say that he was simply doing his job and following his orders, ensure pead doing what he felt right, and all that iween. The reason for that is simple, as many humans there are, there are just that many opinions and interpretations of the events. At the moment he is one of the most plex characters in the series, and so it will remain unless Master Oda decides to add something to the story that makes the scale of this character tip in one dire or another. In clusion, we all know Absolute Justice is absolute garbage, but we shouldn't look at him with just face value and say "Yeah this guy is shit". In my fanfic Akainu murdered is, but he didn't do that without a good reason or at the very least the i of actually doing good and proteg many others. He didn't do that for enjoyment or to attain power. He did it to achieve peace. At least this is "my" Akainu.)

  At the same time, as I'm looking at them, I hear the people ihis office discussing the most pressing matters, finding two new people to fill the void in the ranks of the Seven Warlords of the Seas left by the capture of Crocodile and the death of Simon, how to reduce the ever-increasing number of pirates, and of course, they talked about the strange movement of the Sea Kings and about finding more information about the threat of the new force emerged out of nowhere, the Marinas.

  At this point, it is finally time to reveal myself, but before doing that, I make sure to reinforce everything in this offid put a barrier around Koby and the goat, after doing that, I sit on the open window with a rexed posture and finally stop messing with everyone senses as I say, "Hello there..." causing all of them to snap their heads toward me with surprise and shobsp;

  In response, Akainu quickly turns his fist into magma and moves to attack me on instinct, but before he could even release his attack, I move faster than the speed of light and putting my hand on his shoulder, I use my Spiral o to nullify his Devil Fruit power arain his body, at the same time, I say in calm manner, "Calm down, Sakazuki. I mean no harm to you and everyone else living on this isnd."
