Chapter 54: Paradise
(A/N: Apologies for the sudden little drought. I was caught up in some serious Destiny 2 grinding. That game takes up a lot of time that I completely forgot I haven't updated any chapters.)
(3rd Person View)
Somewhere in the New World, a lone massive black galleon drifted in the night on the waters right outside an island.
On the deck of the ship, The Dragon Knight sat atop a massive stone throne. He merely leaned on his arm as he stared ahead through the slit of his helmet.
"Sir." A tall and slender woman approached him, "They're returning."
The Dragon Knight did not reply to this, seemingly lost in thought.
The Woman frowned. She was wearing a long black dress and had her gray hair tied in a ponytail. She was indeed a very beautiful sight to behold. Her eyes were bright silver, extremely mesmerizing.
"Sir?" She asked again
"Hm." The Dragon Knight looked at her, "Yes?"
"Is something the matter?" She asked
"No." He shook his head, "Everything is alright."
It's been a couple of days since his crew had finished repairs on the extensive damage they took from Starrk's attack.
Ever since then, The Dragon Knight has been pondering how Starrk had gotten ahold of such weaponry similar to his. This was a serious situation for him that nobody on his massive crew has even brought it up, they just did as they were told.
"As I said, they're returning." The woman continued
He looked towards his right, away from the ship and towards the island. He saw a large longboat on the water making its way to them.
"Good." He said, "I suppose they left no survivors."
Behind the longboat and on the island, there was a town that was engulfed in flames. Screams of agony were heard even ao where the ship was.
The woman nodded, "It appears that those screams say otherwise." She said, "But I doubt they'll make it to the morning."
"Let us go." The Dragon Knight said, "We have work to do."
The woman looked at him, "Where to?"
The Dragon Knight leaned back and looked up at the night sky,
"Fishman Island."

A couple of weeks later, on the other side of the Red Line, a Whitebeard ship was seen docking at Sabaody.
On the deck of the ship, Starrk was chugging down a bottle of apple juice. He then looked at his crew who were walking around, passing crates and boxes down.
"Alright, guys." He said as he wiped his mouth, "Let's be as quick as possible. We don't want the Navy finding out we're docked here."
One of his guys walked up, "Why are we docking here anyway?" He said, "We straight up skipped Fishman Island and came straight here."
Starrk shrugged, "I don't know man. Take it with the old man." He said, "He told me to get here as quickly as possible."
He walked over to the ramp that was placed down.
"Yea but Fishman Island is our turf, we could safely resupply there." one of the others say
Before Starrk said anything, Teach walked up while eating a piece of pie.
"Don't question the commander's orders, guys." He said, "Pops told us to come here because of a certain someone has a bit of intel on what we're suppose to be doing."
"What? Is Jinbei here?" one of them asked
Starrk shook his head, "nah, he's at that island we'll meet him at." He said
"So who are we supposed to meet?" they asked
"We? Nah buddy, you guys resupply." He told them, "Don't cause any trouble, you bastards. Anything comes ups, give me a call."
"I got a meeting with The Dark King."
