----------------------------------------------

[Grove 1]

"Ladies and gentlemen, friends and folks, welcome to this month's special recruits auction!" a man's voice boomed through the large halls.

The walls were nicely finished and cleaned up, with a well-lit and rather loud atmosphere.

"I kid you not, we have some incredible goods here today!" 

The audience was mostly male with some higher-class women involved.

The rows were neat and filled to the brim; people of vast professions, of all classes: government employees, merchants, citizens, businessmen, and nobles.

Though at the very front were the true VIPs. The ones surrounded by black-suited men. 

They were dressed quite flauntingly.

Four astronaut-looking people. 

They had glass domes on their heads for their own air to breathe and wore white suits all over their bodies.

Their eyes held great pride as if everything around them was all but worthless. A noble of a major country? Just another ant in their eyes.

They are the Celestial Dragons, four of them.

The auction was about to commence while the early proceedings were wrapping up. 

What the people involved didn't know was that a wanted man was traversing through the storage area.

The long hall was dark, lit by some large lamps above the central walkway. It was dry and damp, a few droplets of water trickled from the roof and onto a puddle.

The atmosphere was humid and simply void of both noise and vibrance, it was like walking through a field of dead and withered flowers.

.

Damien's red eyes glanced through the tens of cells with hundreds of soon-to-be slaves. Many expressions clouded their faces: anger, despair, rage, and pain.

'I thought I had moved on from my previous life and completely committed to this one,' the young man thought as he stood lost.

'Slavery? A heavily frowned-upon notion. Age, gender, and race are all up for cash. Something like this happened in my previous life and people would rise against it, and yet it's the norm here.'

Damien wasn't questioning the truth of his new life, but rather himself. 

The One Piece world, under the adventures and vibrant lands, was full of tragedies and broken people.

Damien had tapped into his past persistence to train like hell, but his mind had yet to graduate from that kindness.

*Tap*

Dull footsteps broke out as Damien reached for the cage.

He looked in and saw some eyes. One emotion shined through, the brightest of them amongst them: hope.

Such silent and helpless eyes left the pirate to ponder.

Damien had committed himself to reaching the peak of power. And yet he lacked an opportunity to leave it all behind.

From what he could see, his past life was getting in the way of his choices and perspective of this ruthless world.

It needed to be left behind; a necessary evolution.

*Clatter*

A dull clattering resounded in the quiet prisoned halls as a bundle of keys fell before the one hopeful prisoner, a child.

"To bid farewell to my old life, I will free you all," he muttered. "It can be considered my final act of kindness and pity to fully accept my new existence."

.

The prisoner's hand shot out as the keys wildly jingled, as if fearful to waste even a second. 

*Click*

The locks clicked open as the child ran out from the chains and the collar around their neck, rushing out.

The keys were passed along as the would-be slaves plagued out of the halls.

*Rumble*

The ground shook as a handful became tens and tens became hundreds; the prisoners all running out and grasping and clawing every moment to escape from their misery.

.

Damien just watched from the side, seeing all kinds of desperate looks from the would-be slaves.

Such weakness left them prey for the predators.

BAM!

The doors blasted open as eight guards came in, rifles drawn.

If they couldn't recover the 'goods' then naturally they would need to put them down.

They cocked their weapons and aimed to shoot.

Yet under all the chaos were two crimson eyes. Slowly but surely, they began to clear up and become firmer than ever before.

Damien's mind had let go of some chain that shackled him down, as the churning ambition began to blossom.

"From now on, I am Einar D. Damien, a pirate, and nothing more."

*Rumble*

Upon his words came a screeching wave of energy, the ground under Damien's feet cracked as the waves rippled out.

The guards suddenly felt the weight of the world pressing down on their shoulders and very minds. Their eyes rolled back into their skull as their knees weakened.

*Thud* 

One by one, they all fell. Dropping like flies, swept away.

"Hmm?" Damien felt the release of some inborn power, his hands subconsciously reaching out to bathe in the feeling.

The emptiness and relief left a need to breathe. A need to revel in his evolution.

"This is Conqueror's Haki?" the young pirate muttered to himself.

Damien was about to leave but soon felt something afoot.

A shadow of a child remained in a cell.

'Dead in sleep?'

He then heard the heartbeat, and something else.

*Yawn*

It was an awfully comfortable yawn. One you'd make after waking up from a nap in school.

"Is it morning already?" a dull, young voice broke out.

*Jingle*

The boy soon got up from the ground and slowly walked to the front in curiosity about the changed environment.

"A ra ra! Things look a lot different from how they were a few hours ago."

He had a sleeping mask pulled over his forehead, and the scruffy afro-like hair seemed dirty. Droopy eyes still waking up.

.

Damien felt something familiar about the boy's demeanour but he couldn't put his finger on it.

"The keys are right there, you can walk out of here if you're stealthy enough," Damien casually said.

The child looked at the ground and saw the bundle of keys, "Ehhh, it looks like a lot of work to go through them, can't you just pop off my shackles? You look quite strong, Mr. Pirate."

Damien smiled with intrigue and walked to the cage.

*Creak*

The metal bars groaned as they were bent without difficulty and ripped open.

Boom!

The door was thrown into the wall and they crashed into a cloud of dust.

"What's your name, kid?" Damien asked.

*Tap*

All the while his left hand grabbed the cold collar around the boy's neck.

*Ring*

A subtle ringing broke out as the device seemed to activate. The ringing was getting faster every second.

The child woke up fully as some tension overtook the lazy eyes.

"On second thoughts, I'll take my chances with the ke-" 

Damien hummed at his words before he could finish as a mass of crimson energy bubbled in his palm.

The energy wrapped around in a string and was quickly inserted into the device.

*Grrr*

The inner gears growled as their core was crushed and destroyed.

*Zip*

The air whistled as the collar crumpled from its solid form and off the child's neck. 

Damien casually tossed the metal scrap behind himself as it went off in a resounding explosion! One echoed in the now-empty halls as the dust and debris rained down.

The kid fell to the ground with a thud, his forehead swamped with cold sweat.

.

Damien smiled at the physical response, "No need to thank me."

The boy raised his face with annoyance, "Thank you!? I almost became the youngest documented case of a heart attack victim because of you!"

Damien showed an innocent face and gave a small shrug in return: "Hey, you're the one who said I looked strong enough to free you."

He then walked out from the dull cell and readied himself to leave.

The kid ran out with some excitement, "Wait, how'd you rip metal like that, that was kinda cool!"

Damien was walking out of the hall at this point as the young stray peppered him with questions.

"Are you really a pirate?"

"Do you have a pirate crew?"

"Why'd you save us?"

"Are you an ability user?"

"Can I do that too?"

Damien massaged his temples and gave out a sigh, "Maybe I should have left you in there."

.

The pirate soon stepped through the doors back into the auction hall and saw an unexpected sight.

Even the kid trailing behind him paused in his steps.

*Gulp*

The young boy gave an audible gulp as his eyes frantically blinked, "Hey-hey, Mr. Pirate, this is a big deal!"

And it was.

Some of the freed prisoners had found themselves here, no, rather they especially wanted to come here.

The halls were empty and certain individuals were targeted by the prisoners.

Ones with enough prestige to even cause Damien to pause.

.

"Damn Celestial Dragons, you took my daughter and chained me up when I came for answers, this is what you deserve!"

"Give me back my wife!"

"My son came back broken because of you, pay for it with your lives!"

There were at least fifty of them.

The men in suits were long dead. They looked as if they'd been mauled by a pack of hungry wolves.

It was incredible what a group of enraged individuals could do.

Having their lives ruined or their parents and children ripped away from them, leaving broken minds living off vengeance.

"Ahhh!"

"Damn ants, you know who I am!?"

"My arm!"

The World Nobles endured the slow and painful torture as the freed prisoners simply clawed at them with every ounce of anger.

.

The boy shook slightly, his breathing spiked as he saw the display.

"Such anger can turn them into monsters, animals…"

Damien hummed at the display and nodded in agreement.

The kid was about to ask something again but this time Damien answered before he could even speak:

"They've resolved themselves to die once the marines arrive, if anything, they're treasuring every moment they get to torture these Nobles."

The child nodded, some grief in his eyes.

Damien watched the expressions of the boy who interested him.

"You didn't tell me your name yet, kid."

The black-eyed boy with the scruffy hair was awfully familiar. A name came to Damien's mind but he waited for the confirmation. And it too, came.

"My name is Kuzan, just Kuzan."

----------------------------------------------

[Marineford]

[Fleet Admiral's Office]

"Katcha~"

A transponder snail hung up.

A different roar soon broke out.

"How could this happen!?" 

Kong clenched his rusty and scarred fists.

*Boom!*

The desk of the Fleet Admiral was soon reduced to dust as its owner's fist descended upon it.

A Rear Admiral ran in and saluted.

"S-Sir! I just checked and most of our forces are deployed! S-Should I recall some?"

Kong eyed the marine and slowly shook his head.

A deep sigh escaped his mouth as he uttered, "Basara is responding to the Golden Lion's rampage at G-1 and Masao is deployed to keep Borealis in check considering his recent antics."

Kong then reclined into his chair while dialing a number.

"Puru," "Puru," "Puru," "Puru." 

"Katcha~"

"Kong-san, did something happen?"

Kong hummed with a low growl, "You recently took on the mantle of Admiral, I never meant this mess to be your first endeavour."

The voice on the line paused for a second and came back on, "I'm ready to depart right away."

Kong nodded in satisfaction, "Sail to Sabaody immediately, we lost contact with Celestial Dragons."

The voice once again paused.

"Kong-san, we've received news on the Rocks Pirates also making waves there."

The Fleet Admiral shook his head.

"Yes but the priority has changed, your mission is the Nobles."

.

The leading marine then leaned forward to the snail.

"Sengoku, no matter what, we can't lose face with Celestial Dragons at Mariejois, do what must be done; I'll send that unruly brat to head your way too!"

The reply came fast as the call soon ended.

----------------------------------------------

[Grove 1, Sabaody Archipelago]

The entire surrounding zone, and even the nearby Groves had been emptied.

Not a soul left, only tracks of running and escape.

"Got it, Shakky-nee, I'll head there right soon."

Damien hung up his snail.

He then gazed at the kid in front of him.

[Image of Kuzan (in Discord)]

The two stood near the edge of the grove, right next to the open sea.

.

"You got over the mauling of those Dragons quite quick," Damien said as he glanced at the boy.

Kuzan looked at Damien and slowly said, "I did some stuff to get chained up, and saw some bad stuff too."

He then looked to the sea, "My father was gonna sell my sister and me, he died before it could happen but I got caught nonetheless."

Damien sat beside the boy.

"He died?"

"...I killed him."

"But he had already contacted the buyers, I was able to get my sister to a small family who lived on the same island, but not myself."

"She's only two years old and probably will forget about me in a few years… but at least she can grow up in a nice house, right?"

The boy soon wiped his face with his sleeve and shook himself out of the old memory.

"Even under those chains a part of me wanted to become a marine one day, give the oppressed a voice."

"And yet you were saved by a pirate," Damien chimed in. "Now, you're lost."

He nodded silently.

"..."

A few moments passed as he then asked, "What is your reason? Why become a pirate?"

Damien shrugged, "You're the second kid to ask me that. I just want to be the master of my own fate."

"Even if you have to kill for it?"

A determined light flashed by the pirate's eyes as he said, "If they get in my way, then yes, without hesitation."

"..."

Damien slowly stood up as he patted the non-existent dust off his attire.

"How about I give you the chance to find your path?"

The boy's lowered head soon shot up to meet Damien's in question.

Damien just smiled, "I'm no saint but I do what I want. I intend to gather some like-minded people one day under my flag. As long as you don't go against me, I'll let you figure out your moral compass."

The boy blinked in thought, but he was a little too young to fully see the big picture.

'Perhaps it's a little risky to invite a future Admiral but it is a power I rather not go against. I also got his devil fruit before, is this another quirk of fate?' Damien thought.

.

"Kuzan, don't think too much, I won't give you any handouts, just a place to train, hellishly at that. You can choose your path from then on."

The boy's eyes soon began to clear up.

"W-What if I choose to leave?"

Damien just shrugged, "No handouts, you get what you earn. I'll show you what the world hides from its everyday people, you can decide your fate then."

Though at this point, his calm tone turned sharp: "And if it goes against me, well, you would be wise not to get in my way."

The seven-year-old broke out with an audible gulp as he saw Damien's smile.

He then cleared his throat, "I agree! But I can at least rest often, right? Maybe fourteen hours a day?"

Bam!

A fist slammed onto the child's head and he rolled on the ground in pain.

"Eight hours of sleep is enough, this training guide should help you understand what's to come."

Damien unconsciously showed a rather sadistic smile as he handed the sheet of paper that appeared out of nowhere.

Kuzan skimmed through.

Each line, each training routine brought an increasing amount of fear and apprehension to the boy's eyes.

"T-This should be the torture routine, are you sure you're not insane!?" 

Damien shrugged.

"A wise man I once knew, like myself, would say, 'A small price to pay for salvation', you'll get used to it."

Kuzan shook his head and dashed away.

Unfortunately, a vice-like grip grasped his jacket as he flailed around in the air like a dying fish out of the sea.

"Don't worry, if you meet my expectations then I wouldn't mind giving you a suitable prize."

He then kicked something into the sea.

*Splash*

It was a wrapped-up, bloodied figure of a Celestial Dragon that Damien had borrowed from the prisoners.

"…"

"Rawr!"

A Loch Ness monster-like Sea King soon popped out from the water as it roared its arrival.

The giant figure of the beast was gnawing away at the white-clothed Noble all the while it glared at the two in front of it.

Damien eyed the beast and a burst of overwhelming weight soon fell upon it.

The Sea King shuddered and whimpered as it swallowed the Celestial Dragon whole, though stuck in place.

Damien just glared at the sea monster and gave out an order:

{I want you to send this kid to Mortem Island a few days away.}

It was a mixture of Damien's newly conceived Conqueror's Haki and Voice of All Living Things which allowed him to command the weaker Sea Kings.

Mortem Island was one of the many less-than-ideal locations Damien found through his years of study.

No inhabitants.

Unforgiving weather.

Countless monsters.

Endless threats. 

Perfect place for a near-seven-year-old to thrive in their youth.

But some precautions were needed for him to get there safely:

{If you in any way allow harm to the boy then I will personally feast on you in front of your children.}

The beast seemed to make a familiar audible gulp and it comically nodded its head.

.

Damien hummed at the response and tossed the boy in his hand as if he were a sack of potatoes.

"Hey!"

Kuzan landed on the Sea King's back, barely keeping himself on board.

"I swear I'll sue you for child abuse one day!"

Damien waved at the whining boy, "Good luck on the training, I'll make sure the Sea Kings properly 'educate' you if you don't put your all into it."

Kuzan gulped once more as he began to question his life choices.

He saw them disappear into the horizon, leaving the lonesome Damien behind.

A white paper that inched forward was soon pulled out, leading the way to his next destination.

"Looks like it's time to go meet up with the rest, I wonder what hell will meet us soon…"

To Be Continued…

----------------------------------------------

Author's Corner.

Damien would fit well to align as chaotic neutral. Giving up his past kindness and embracing his new life as a pirate in the Rocks Era was needed to ever stand a chance of fulfilling his goals.

Chương 17: [17] Trouble in Paradise

[2040 words]

----------------------------------------------

*Ding Ding*

The cabin door creaked open, ringing the bells at the top. 

The 20-feet tall doors were quite the sight.

It was the first time Damien had seen such an 'inclusive' door design in the One Piece world, well, to an extent.

.

Damien made his way through to a dimly-lit bar, under the noisy interior.

Damien scanned the audience and it didn't take long to see where he needed to be.

It wasn't just the ginormous 19-foot tall Kaido who was gulping down alcohol, or the tiny Shakky who was sitting beside him leaving quite the physical contrast.

It was instead the other man who sat at the same table.

He was seated but it wasn't hard to see that he was even larger than the 17-year-old Kaido!

He had loose, grey trousers, an open green shirt that showcased his muscular upper chest, and a durag over his long, blond hair.

The giant pirate boasted a glorious moustache in the shape of a wide-U shape. 

An equally large glaive leaned by his table as he drank some saké.

Damien paused for a second as his mind instantly clicked on a name:

'Edward Newgate – the future World's Strongest Man, aka Whitebeard!'

[His Image (in Discord)]

.

The pause only lasted a second before he continued to the empty seat at the same table.

"You're here, Damien-chan," Shakky smiled. 

Whitebeard leaned forward a little as he lowered his alcohol barrel.

Narrowing his eyes, he said, "You're the kid who made all that noise just a while ago, Rocks really sees me as a babysitter for the brats that interest him."

Damien looked at the giant in front of him. Even though he said some annoyed words, his smirk carried another meaning.

The young pirate simply shrugged, "The Marines knew of our meetup here, trouble was bound to appear anyway."

*Tap*

The saké cup in the overpowering man slammed on the table.

"..."

An eerie silence broke out that even the nearby pirates began to sweat.

And yet something unexpected followed:

"Gurarara!"

The nearly 22-foot-tall pirate broke out into a rambunctious laugh.

"You're right, I'm sure Sengoku's golden ass was waiting for us anyways, I wish I could see his face when he sees what you did!"

.

Shakky sighed at the mess and shook her head, "Boys will be boys."

"You got all the Eternal Ore?"

The eyes were soon diverted to Damien who was sipping on some alcohol.

He nodded while waving a red pouch around, "All here."

Shakky gave a small smile and then gestured to the others, "We should hurry to Fishman Island, starting a war right under Marineford is too risky." 

Newgate slowly nodded after stopping his laugh, "With the mess at Grove 1 we won't have too much trouble sneaking away."

Shakky nodded in agreement, "Mhm, the ship is coated and ready, let's go."

Kaido just gave out a loud scoff, "I'd rather take the chance to kill the Admiral right now!"

"Maybe when you can take a punch from me and not get knocked out," Newgate responded as the others stood up to leave.

Kaido grumbled but accepted the reason, ready to leave.

Damien and Shakky also made their way out to the readied ship.

----------------------------------------------

[Grove 1]

"Kong-san will not be happy with this mess," a rather tall and bulky man muttered.

He was a man draped with the usual Marine coat, rocking a black suit underneath.

He had a black afro and moustache paired with black circular glasses.

A marine Rear Admiral saluted the prestigious marine: "Admiral Sengoku, the Sabaody Forces are at your disposal, would you like us to scour the Archipelago to find the perpetrators? According to sources they have dispersed all over."

Naturally, he talked about the freed prisoners who mauled the World Nobles.

[Sengoku Image (in Discord)]

.

Sengoku shook his head, "There were four Celestial Dragons but we only found three, where is the final one?"

The marine reporting had no answer.

"We have no clue, it seems Saint Wilhelm disappeared, m-maybe kidnapped for ransom by a pirate?"

"Did you try their Vivre Card?" the Admiral questioned.

The marine in front of him looked to the ground in shame.

"What is it?" Sengoku said with a turbulent feeling.

"A-Admiral, the Celestial Dragons didn't have Vivre Cards made…"

Sengoku blinked and broke out in tension, "What?! How could that happen!?"

The Rear Admiral shook in his socks but answered immediately, "N-No one has killed a Noble in a long time… they've grown used to not needing such precautions!"

Sengoku sighed defeatedly, "...Then let's hope the Saint was indeed kidnapped and not anything worse."

"Until then secure the Archipelago, no one leaves without my notice."

"Roger that!"

The Admiral was about to leave to report but another marine soon came running over.

"A-Admiral!" he exclaimed between bated breaths, "we located the Rocks Pirates, their ship is coated and readying to leave!"

Sengoku turned his attention immediately to the tired marine.

"According to some unconfirmed rumour, the prisoners were freed by the 'Sin Incarnate' who was also spotted on the departing ship," the marine reported.

.

Sengoku, who is also known as the 'Resourceful General', naturally had some thoughts with this information.

"If he was responsible, then he may have kidnapped the Celestial Dragons… Rocks has a certain delight in harming the Nobles, there's a chance the Saint is with them."

The Rear Admiral then gave his thoughts, "Should we encircle them?"

 "How troublesome," Sengoku massaged his forehead in indecision. "Keep your eyes on them, and notify the marine unit at Fishman Island to maintain surveillance at their arrival, I already have three dead Celestial Dragons, I can't risk another dead!"

The Rear Admiral saluted the order and began to notify the marines under him.

"And where's that fool?" Sengoku questioned, though he soon felt a bad feeling.

An answer soon echoed in his ears.

"He's what!?"

----------------------------------------------

[Edge of Grove 50]

A coated ship was moving towards an open area.

Coating was a process in which a ship was coated with special resin from the Yarukiman Mangroves, enabling it to sail underwater and survive the crushing depths of the ocean, such as at the bottom of the Red Line, and therefore, to Fishman Island.

Kaido was playing with the steering wheel, earning a scolding from Shakky who was seemingly doing everything.

Damien sat at the lookout tower and soon felt his Observation Haki spike like crazy.

Something was coming, the smell of a predator rushing towards its prey.

.

"We have company!"

Newgate, who was at the main deck, had already readied his weapon.

"Back up, brat. I'll handle this one!"

His heavy glaive thudded onto the ground as if he was readying himself.

"Get ready to dive the ship."

At that, he had jumped.

The entire ship sank a few meters from Whitebeard's hop as he arched into the sky.

Thud!

The large stature of the pirate whistled through the air and landed on solid ground with a boom.

.

"That wild dog, no care for backup or his surroundings," Whitebeard muttered at the sight of the black shadow rushing at him. 

It was a man in a simple white shirt and blue pants, galloping through the mangroves.

He was clean-shaven with short black hair.

A wide grin plastered to his face as the man raised his right hand.

*Fwwm!* A pristine-black coat of pure Haki was wrapped around, erupting with great power.

Whitebeard raised his glaive as its bladed edge too was coated in Haki.

"Bwahahaha! Looks like the party's over here!"

The carefree man broke out into a boisterous laugh as he drove his fist in a primal motion toward the towering Whitebeard.

Newgate just scoffed in irritation and shot his weapon at the coming fist, not withholding even an ounce of strength.

And thus the two collided.

BOOOM!

Damien who was watching from nearly a hundred meters away couldn't help but rebalance himself as the ship began to move chaotically from the shockwaves.

The ground under the collision crumpled and was eradicated as the cracks and rumbles spread throughout the Grove and began to shake Sabaody as a whole!

The air blew like tornadoes in all directions, wrecking nearby buildings and even tree life as the two continued their clash.

The bright archipelago was dulled out, seemingly turning gray. 

...

"WORORO! What monstrous power!"

Damien could only concur as he could only watch, 'They aren't even at their peak and a casual hello can do this…'

Boom!

Another secondary explosion resounded as the two men separated from their clash.

Newgate and his adversary stood opposite to each other, nearly 20 meters in between.

"Gurarara! Garp, you wild dog!"

The man in the simple clothes continued his smile as he cracked his knuckles.

Even with all that power from Whitebeard, not a single cut remained on his hand.

[Garp Image (in Discord)]

.

"Newgate, I can go all day!"

But his fantasies came to an end quite fast.

"Garp! You bastard, I'm in charge here and I'm ordering you to stand down!" a roar exploded through the Grove.

The cry of anger came from nearly half a kilometer away as another large marine made his way over.

Garp picked his nose as if ignoring the yell.

"Heh, Newgate, you heard anything there? I think my ears are a little blocked today."

"..."

"I know you heard me, Garp! Stand down!"

The figure of the Admiral landed on the wrecked land.

"The priority is the Celestial Dragon, you know that!"

Garp harrumphed in disdain, "Heh, I say you feed them to the Sea Kings, at least that way they'd have some use."

Sengoku grew livid, steam almost sizzled off his angered face.

The two began to argue back and forth as Whitebeard was left as a third wheel.

He saw the mess and returned to the ship.

"I guess one of the Dragons made it out, let's leave before another Admiral shows up."

Shakky concurred as the diving procedure began and the coating expanded.

"Oye, Sengoku, you really want to let them go? I thought the higher-ups wanted those two brats on the ship there."

Sengoku, who had calmed down, also grew solemn, "In the case the Saint was taken by them, it's best to save them stealthy rather than sinking their ship. I'll ask for CP-0 to take the lead."

Garp just shrugged, "Whatever, just give me my monthly rice crackers and we'll call it a day."

The Vice Admiral then walked away, probably to some spa nearby.

Sengoku was left sighing again and again, "I hope it all works out, it's been over a decade since a Celestial Dragon was killed, let alone three, I just hope it doesn't become four."

He then reached in for his snail and ordered:

"All troops! Work in full force to find news on that last Saint, no one goes off work until he is found!"

----------------------------------------------

[On the Ship]

"Shakky-nee, I take it our shipbuilder is somewhere in the New World, is that our next destination?" 

The woman, who was puffing a cigarette, nodded.

"He's someone who'll put together the ship the captain wants, since we now have the wood and metal ready, we just need to get it to him."

Damien slowly nodded.

Whitebeard then chimed in, "Show me the ore Rocks was so fond of."

Damien nodded and swiped the red pouch in his hand.

*Thwonk*

A large piece of ore soon fell on the deck with a thud. 

Whitebeard pulled out a piece of the crimson ore and examined it.

"Nothing I've seen before, hopefully, it's worth the effort."

Shakky nodded from the side as she puffed out another cloud of smoke, "Well, we completed our mission regardless."

She then changed the subject: "I wonder where that Celestial Dragon is that they're so concerned about."

Damien, who had begun to dine on some snacks, raised his hand, "Oh that, I fed him to the Sea Kings. After all, it's our responsibility to keep the cycle of life running."

"..."

"Gurarara!"

"WORORORO!"

"Ufufufu!"

"Rahahaha!"

Four types of odd laughs bellowed within the confines of the bubble as they heard the answer that could lead to the destruction of entire kingdoms and civilizations.

To Be Continued…
