Chapter 994: Astrea vs Doflamingo
The World Government announced the public execution of Whitebeard's elite subordinate, Portgas D. Ace one week from now."
It said that Portgas D. Ace is defeated by his own ex-crew on a duel in Banaro Island, an island that was ransacked by Blackbeard and his crew. The island is very close to Water 7, but is not part of the Sea Train route.
Of course the person who defeats him is none other than Blackbeard and his crew and exchanges his head to the vacant position of Shichibukai after Crocodile went missing after taking a precious Poneglyph that the World Government was banned to see or even have.
With this opening and opportunity Marshall D. Teach, most commonly referred to by his epithet Blackbeard jumped and grabbed it by selling his own comrade Portgas D. Ace became a member of Shichibukai.
The location and date have been set for the public, they start calling all the Shichibukai to assemble for the upcoming war whether they want it or not.
On that day, in the plaza of Marineford the Marine Headquarters itself, the going to end Fire Fist Ace's life.
Of course the Marine knows the consequence for what they are going to do, they will ultimately provoke the Whitebeard Pirate and it will cause an all-out war.
The Marine with the three Admiral and the whole force of Marine adding the Shichibukai who are being summoned and the Guild of course with Xin and the Rankers.
"So they finally summoned us?" Mikako said.
"Are we really going to join the war? I dont know if the 7 Guild Pillar will accept the summon from the Marine." Hiyori said.
"If they don't want to come then don't bother them, we can just come alone, after all, our strength is enough for this war." Xin said.
"Wel;l, Astrea and Ikaros alone is already enough, having all of us come is overkill,"
Mikako looks at Xin and suddenly asks," By the way Xin, is it time for us to move forward and step to the next level?"
"....Yes, but i don't know if Grandpa and Grandma is ready,"
"Don't worry, Grandma and Grandpa know our dream and they are fully supporting us for our plan of its time…."
"Yeah…. It's time to draw the line from others.... The 2nd plan will going to start.... After the war end."
"Yes, we are already prepared for the next plan one year ago so we can proceed smoothly." Mikako said.
"And right now, we already separate from Word Government, the only organization that is binding us is the Marine but I'm pretty sure the Marine will let us go easily."
"By the way, tomorrow Ikaros and Astrea will follow me in Marineford, and all of you need to get ready."
"What about the Guild Pillar? Do you want them to follow you for additional force?"
"No need, just ask all of them to go back and prepare for the Great War, I'm pretty sure that our Island will feel the impact of the war when it starts."
"Okay."
.....
Six days remain until the public execution of Portgas D. Ace
Powerful soldiers who have made a name for themselves all over the world are arriving one after another whilst at the port of Marineford.
Marine Headquarters are now even more on-edge every last military force is gathering here at Marine Headquarters serving under the name of "Justice".
Meanwhile, at a separate meeting room in Marineford, the Shichibukai who have thus far been assembled are in the middle of their own battle conference.
But for Xin who is sitting with them….. is all too clear for these men to fight together as a team, it's entirely unthinkable.
But more importantly, they seem looking at Xin attentively while releasing a menacing aura around.
"So you're finally back after hiding for 5 years, kid." Doflamingo said while smiling towards him.
"Yeah."
"So… when are you going to take my slave back that you snach 5 years ago?"
"What slave? It seems that you forgot that Country is not yours, to begin with, while those slaves your talking about is the Royal Family,"
Xin calmly looked at him," You are the one who forced occupy that Dressrosa, you should be thankful that no one ever posts a Quest to take the Dressrosa back or else you are going to find a new base."
"Are you going to fight me?"
"He~ who do you think you are? Do you think I'm scared of fighting you, you just need to be glad you're a Shichibukai or else I already take you for your bounty, after all, the Guild needs a sustainable income."
Zooom~
The whole air trembled, the Marine Guard that was standing on the door fainted while Moria, the weakest of them all, started to turn pale.
Doflamingo look at Xin who did not even change expression after benign press by Haki, it same as they first meet, he then look at the two girls behind him and try to press them to release his anger but to his surprise, the two girls did not even bother to ressit and just casually stand there.
"Ikaros-senpai, that pink bird is looking at us like a pervert, do you want to hit him?" Astrea whispered but his voice was still pretty loud heard by the other Shichibukai.
'Pufft.' Moria tries to hold back his laughter but he can't stop his giggle.
Mihawk slightly looks at Astrea and her sword, he can feel the same aura of swordsman from the woman, and how she can casually talk while resisting the Haki is pretty excellent for her age.
"Are you making fun of me?" Doflamingo finally snaps out and attacks Astrea.
Boom!
Smoke shroud the whole room, the Marine outside alerted from the commotion outside but they only see the two Marien who fainted as being carry outside by Ikaros.
"Don't enter." She then came in again.
Xin waves his hand pushing all the dust outside of the window and sees Astrea and Doflamingo.
They were surprised to see Doflamingo being stepped on by Astrea who looked on proudly while provoking Doflamingo.
"See? You're too weak and you take initiative to attack. Are you an idiot?"
