Kapitel 256: 256. I Resign

Alexander appeared at Ohara. It was already burning red. The tree had fallen down.

He was on the southernmost side of the island. There he saw a marine sitting alone for some reason. Alexander was out of his field of view.

A little girl came running towards there, crying. She seemed shocked seeing the man there. Soon they started talking.

"...but consider yourself lucky to still have your life. Try to live as plainly as you can... I left a line of ice on the sea. Travel straight ahead with this small boat, and you'll reach an island... And the... Always remember. I am not your ally. If you do something, I'll be the first enemy to come capture you." The man said all that and started walking away.

The girl scaredly turned around and shouted, "My mom is on the island."

"No one will be saved... If it's so painful that you want to die, you're free to do so." The man said.

The little girl looked down, desperate, hopeless, powerless, and sad, all these emotions going on in her young head. Knowing her mother and everyone she loved would die soon and she had to escape. It was killing her.

Alexander walked towards her and patted her head softly. She looked up to see who it was. "Don't worry, little one. Let's go and save your mother."

The man heard him and looked back cautiously. Alexander continued speaking.

"If the Marine and World Government can make a small child like you feel so much pain that you want to die. Then they should be the ones to burn. Not Ohara." He said and picked her up and put her on his shoulder. He then looked at the man.

"Who are you?" He asked.

The man knew who Alexander was so he saluted, "I am Vice Admiral Kuzan, sir"

"Hmm, I heard about you from Z. He said you are his favorite student. A bit lazy but still a man with a good sense of justice. I didn't think someone like you would be involved in this." He disappointedly stated.

Kuzan felt bad as Alexander was his role model. "Even if I wanted to, I was helpless. I cannot go against them. I did the most I could by letting her go."

"I know, I don't blame you for all this. You will someday become an Admiral and then you will have the power to make decisions. I hope you don't blindly follow every order without thinking then. Here, take this and hand it over to Sengoku." Alexander handed him a folded paper.

"What is this?" Kuzan asked.

Alexander's cloak, which was white according to Marines standard, suddenly changed its color and turned golden.

"That is my resignation letter and also an official declaration of war against the world government.

"Tell them to expect me... every breath they take from now is a loan from me. A loan that I will come to claim myself, with due interest.

"Repeat these words to them. Now go away, I don't want to kill a good man like you." He ordered, releasing a bit of his Conqueror Haki.

He walked towards the raging fire with the little girl on his shoulders, "What is your name, little one?"

"I-I am Nico Robin. Are you really going to save my mama?" She asked.

"No," he replied. She quickly turned sad.

"I am going to save everyone on this island. Not just your mother." He added. Now Robin looked at him with hope.

"But they are very strong." She warned worriedly.

"It's alright. I am also a little strong. Haven't you seen my face in the newspaper?" He asked as he showed her his biceps.

She was so stressed that she didn't even think before. Now she looked at him closely and recognized him. "Y-You are Marine Admiral, Alexander Maxim D Universe."

"Perfect answer, Robin. You are the first person in years who remembers my full name. You must be very intelligent." He praised her.

"B-but why would you go against your own people?" She asked, and it was common sense asking that.

"Because I am disappointed by the Marines and the World Government. I joined the Marines because I wanted to help people and do good. But lately, they only ask me to do bad stuff. So I have decided to protest." He explained.

"They will come after you then." She worriedly said.

"Hahaha... I feel happy that you worry about me little Robin. But don't worry. As I said earlier, I'm a bit strong. Now, do you want to see magic? I can make that big tree become just like it was before falling." He told her.

"Really? Then please do that. My mother is in there." She requested.

Alexander suddenly flew in the air, making Robin wince a little in shock.

"Haha, calm down, Robin. Just watch."

Alexander used his devil fruit ability and specifically reversed the time of the island and its people. Leaving only the Marines unaffected.

Things started to happen in reverse. The fire started to die down, the fallen Tree of knowledge again started to stand up. The people running into the Tree of knowledge to save the books started to come out backward.

The ship filled with civilians that the Marines destroyed was also brought back to good condition. Finally, after 30 minutes completed, the huge crowd of Oharan scholars was again standing in the open field and all the civilians were yet to board the ship. Alexander then implanted information into everyone about what happened. The ones who were running towards the evacuation ship stopped.

The Marines were looking at everything with shocked faces.

"MARINES, GO BACK OR DIE. YOU HAVE 10 SECONDS TO DECIDE." A loud voice resounded in the sky, making everyone look at Alexander.

Many recognized Alexander. But they couldn't understand why he was shouting at them.

"What do you think you are doing? Do not interfere with the World Government's work." Spandine shouted.

"Spandine, I told you about the curse before. You didn't listen, so here you go."

*Slash*

A sword appeared in Alexander's hand and he made a cutting motion at him. Just the airwave was enough to cut Spandine in half. Though he didn't let his body fall in two halves in a bloody mess as there was a small child with him. But Spandine was dead for sure.

"LISTEN, MARINES, I have grown tired of all the corruption and incompetence in the government. Seriously? Destroying a kingdom because they came close to finding out the secrets of the world government and hiding it by calling them terrorists? I have resigned from the Marines now and if any of you even touched a small rock in Ohara, you will die. It is under my protection from now on, feed that in your brains."

He again slashed his sword at all the Marine ships in the sea and the airwave was enough to damage them and also launch them towards the open sea.

He looked down at the CP9 people, "Take his body and throw it at the five Elders' feet. Go"

The men hastily picked up the dead body and ran away. Alexander came to the ground and put Robin down. She quickly ran to her mother and hugged her.

*BOOM*

Suddenly something attacked Alexander. It was Lava.

"How dare you stop us?" The man grunted.

Alexander scoffed, "Is killing harmless people on an evacuation ship justice?"

"No, that is absolute justice. Rather than doing it half-assed, I'd do it all the way." The man said.

"Ah, you must be Sakazuki. Z told me you had a sick understanding of what justice is. Let me teach you something."

Alexander suddenly teleported to Sakazuki, grabbed his head with his palm, and planted it down on the ground so hard that it made a small crater.

"Listen to me boy, you have no idea how corrupted the origination you work for is. If you want to talk about Absolute justice then go to Sabaody Archipelago, then to Human Auctioning House there. They sell human slaves there. It is run by the permission of the world government, and World Nobles buy slaves there. Even when slavery is banned, it is still happening. Go and bring them to justice, only then will you have the right to call it absolute justice.

"Right now, you are nothing but a sick disgusting perverted man who likes killing people in the name of justice."

He picked him from his head and threw him towards his ship many miles away in the sea now. He fell hard on it.

Alexander then looked back at everyone while calming himself. They all looked at him as well. The oldest of them walked up to him slowly. It seems his gunshot wound had still not healed.

He waved his hand and the bullet came out. He then gave him a small vial. "Drink this, it will heal your wound."

The old man didn't take it and just kneeled near his feet, "T-thank you. Thank you very much."

Following him, everyone kneeled down and started saying thank you. Even little Robin was kneeling and thanking with her eyes watering down. Probably because she finally felt relaxed and her emotions poured out. Alexander quickly used magic to forcibly make them stand up.

"Ah, no-no. Don't do that. I just did what was right. Not because I wanted praise." He said.

The old man grabbed Alexander's hand with both of his hands, "No, you may not show it but we know what you have done. You became an enemy of the World Government for us. They will come after you now."

"Haha... They have been after me for years, my friend. They just couldn't do anything because I am too strong. You can understand that from the fact that I even killed a Celestial Dragon on the stairs of Mary Geois and they still couldn't do anything to me.

"So rest assured, no harm will come to me and neither will I let any harm come to this land. Ohara will be under me now. However, I will need your help to uncover the whole history of the Void Century, so we can deal with them. Now drink this." He explained.

Clover finally drank the liquid and instantly felt good, "Oh, this is magical. I feel perfectly fine now."

"SAUL" Robin suddenly shouted and ran towards a big chunk of ice. Her mother ran after her.

Alexander followed behind. "Is this your friend, Robin?"

She nodded cutely, "Then I will make him good. But you will have to call me Grandpa from now on."

He went close to the ice and put his hand on it. Slowly it started to melt and Saul's giant body fell to the ground. He then went to his head and poured various kinds of potions. He could have used magic but he used potions. He was planning on getting the Historians to find substitute plants for potions so they can be made locally later.

"Okay, he is fine. But he needs rest and will wake up in a few hours. By the way, what was the name of the Great Kingdom you talked about, that got those old men so worked up?" He suddenly asked, making everyone feel nervous.

"I will answer that, oh I haven't introduced myself. I am Professor Clover, director of Ohara Library."
