On another island away from the Love Pirates, a man wore a pure white suit with gold edges and a cape-like design. Underneath the suit he wore a purple shirt. He had a monocle over his right eye, as well as a thick golden neck brace. He wore polished, black shoes and had a gold-covered book in one of his hands.The man had black hair, which was covered by a small golden helmet. He had a black goatee and black sideburns. He was sitting down on a chair.
He had an orange orb in his other hand. He smiled.
"Well done Din," the man said. He laughed, "Fuhahaha."
"It was no trouble for me, Captain Simon," Din said. Din had short blonde hair. He wore a green coat, with a light green, long-sleeved shirt underneath. He had a green and black hat with goggles on it. He wore an orange scarf around his neck. Din had dark blue pants, and black shoes. He had a pistol in his pocket.
"I helped as well, Captain Simon," said another man. He was a short man with fair skin, beady eyes, thick lips, a large chin, and ears with large, round openings. He had short, curly black hair. He wore a light blue jacket with two big pockets. He wore a gold armband, white gloves. The man had a headband with microscope heads and a microphone on it. He also wore light blue shorts, black leggings and brown shoes.
"Yes you did Niphtal," Simon said. He paused. "But you lost our prized robots and a number of your men are out of commission," Simon added.
"But Din was there," Niphtal tried to defend himself.
"Din took it down in the end while you stayed away," Simon said. His voice got louder and louder.
"I apologies for my mistakes," Niphtal said. He looked angry. He gave Din the look.
"I don't need your apology, I need results," Simon said.
"I will personally get the other orbs," Niphtal said.
Simon looked at Niphtal. "I need you to focus on making more of those prized robots," Simon said.
"Also how is the Mark II coming along?" Simon asked.
"We are making progress however the software is not working which we used in the Mark I version," Niphtal replied.
"You are such a fool," Simon shouted.
"We are trying our best," Niphtal tried to make his case.
Simon put his book down and aimed his hand towards Niphtal. He fired a paper sheet shaped bird towards Niphtal. It hit the ground right in front of him. "Let me make it clear, failure will result in your head coming off," Simon said.
"Yes, I won't fail you," Niphtal replied.
At that moment, a pirate came running in the room. "Captain Simon, Gad and Zabal have returned," the pirate reported. He was out of breath.
"Did they bring the orb?" Simon asked.
"No sir, Zabal and Gad lost. Aua Ra Aa has been destroyed," the pirate said.
Simon slammed his fist down. "Fools," Simon said.
"Captain, Gad in particular is in bad shape," the pirate said.
Simon got up . He walked over to the pirate. The pirate looked terrified.
"Let's go and see my second in command," Simon said. Simon added, "Din, Niphtal follow me."
"Yes Captain," Din replied.
"Right away Captain," Niphtal replied.
They all followed the pirate to the medical lab. They entered and saw Zabal standing back up. He had a few bandages on him.
"Captain," Zabal said.
"You failed me," Simon said.
"They got the best of me. I will not let that happen again," Zabal replied.
"I would expect so," Simon said. Niphtall smiled. He looked happy that someone else was getting scolded.
"Don't be so happy," Din said.
"Why you?" Niphtal said.
Simon looked back. "Lets go and see Gad," Simon said. They both nodded.
They walked to a bed on the other side of the room and saw Gad lying on the bed.
Gad, a fishman, once robust and sculpted, now was a shadow of his former self. His body was withered away, leaving behind a frail and shrunken figure. The skin, stretched and marked by the traces of past strength, now hangs loosely, accentuating the loss of muscle mass. His limbs, once powerful, appear feeble and weakened. The spark of vitality, replaced by an aura of vulnerability and fragility.
"What happened to you?" Niphtal asked and added, "You look like some old frail man." Niphtal laughed.
"He used that pill," Zabal replied.
Din looked at Gad. "Fool," he muttered.
"Indeed. The pill was unstable and was very expensive. We needed to refine the pill," Simon said.
Simon looked at Gad. He was furious but thought. Gad looked at his Captain. He could not talk, he had no energy.
Simon smiled. "You will be perfect for our new soldier upgrade. A fishman is stronger than a human," Simon said.
"You mean we can do it to him," Niphtal said.
"Yes, he will be the perfect candidate," Simon said.
"Fuhahaha," Simon laughed.
Zabal and Din looked at Gad. Their facial expressions did not change. Niphtal was happy that he could do his next experiment with a fishman.
"Where are those three girls?" Simon asked.
"We don't know. They were not on the island when we searched for them, Captain," said a pirate.
"Find them. They are weak but being fishwomen, they will be perfect for what our beloved Gad will be going through," Simon replied. "Fuhahaha," he laughed.
"We must get those orbs at all cost in order for him," Simon said.
He added, "Our plan to take over this world, to take down the Yonkos, the World Government, is right within our grasp."
"Captain, there are people with suits coming to meet you," a pirate said as he came running into the room.
"Suits?" Zabal asked.
"Who are they?" Simon asked.
"They said they are from CP6 and have an offer," the pirate replied.
"Offer?" Simon smiled.
"Let's go," Simon said. Simon, Din, Zabal and Niphtal headed to meet CP5.
Scene Change
Meanwhile on the coastal waters near the island, LeMay was sitting in the Captain's room. He had several white bandages on his head, arm and leg. The ship was made with steel plates in the hull, but the bow was made of wood. It had three large sails. The figurehead was of a white cheetah. There were several cannons on either side of the hull.
LeMay looked at the Den Den Mushi. It had black glasses and purple hair. "Admiral, we were attacked by an unknown group and took heavy losses," LeMay said.
"Who were they?" the man asked.
"I don't know, they attack us. There were three girls," LeMay said.
"You lost to three girls?" the man asked.
"One of them looked like a demon," LeMay replied.
"Excuses," the man said.
"We will secure the weapon Admiral," LeMay said.
"This is clearly above you and now that CP6 has arrived, it will make things more complicated," the man said.
"CP6?" LeMay asked.
"Yes, with Crocodile defeated, they are looking for his replacement. Pirate scum," the man said.
"Leave now, we don't want others to know about us," the man ordered.
"Yes Admiral," LeMay said. The Den Den Mushi cut off.
LeMay got up. "Those girls!" he shouted.
LeMay walked outside the Captain's room and saw his soldier. "Take us back to our base," LeMay ordered.
"Yes Captain," the soldier said as ran off.
LeMay stared through the window and saw the island. He gritted his teeth and went back to his room.
