"It is time! Take him to the machine!"
Hamburg clapped his hands and looked at Jimmy with a smile.
"Very well."
Jimmy opened his right palm and a small vortex formed in the room.
Then, Akuma's body entered the cylinder filled with green fluids.
Few wires charged up on Akuma's back and connected to his spine.
"Start it! And remember, don't stop until all the energy is exhausted."
Hamburg walked next to the controls and said to the one who was incharge of the machine.
"Yes."
The researcher nodded and replied to Hamburg. His focus went back to the controls.
"How long until father wakes up?"
Bella held her son, Yios, and stared at Akuma who was inside the glass cylinder.
"Maybe… thirty minutes or so."
Hamburg calculated and came with an approx answer.
"So, guys. My work is not needed anymore it seems. Can I leave? I have to teach the children in school about medications."
Beauty raised her hand and asked with a little hesitation.
"You can."
Maba sat on the seat where Akuma had laid before, and replied to Beauty.
"Okay bye!"
Immediately, Beauty walked out of the room with light footsteps.
She looked excited whenever she thought of teaching the cute children in Earth Realm.

Earth Realm___
In the middle of the huge town, there's only one school for children to learn.
It was very huge, almost the tallest building in the entire town.
Well maintained toilets, large playground, cafeteria, a separate auditorium, mini hospital, etc.
It could be said the best in the entire world with every facility a school must have.
The college was exactly opposite to the school, with very similar facilities.
In school, class 12, section B. Irish stood before the whiteboard and looked at the students.
"So students, did you understand what I taught you today?"
Irish pushed her glasses and asked. The students all nodded and gave their affirmatives.
"Hm. Now remember to complete your homeworks and show it to your teacher. I will come very little this year."
Irish sorted her books and held on to her cane as she walked out of the classroom.
"Miss Irish! Wait for me!"
A man called out Irish from the next classroom. He looked not much younger than her.
"What's it, Borry?"
Irish rolled her eyes and waited for the man named Borry to come out.
"Did you think about my proposal?"
Borry asked with a bit of redness on his cheeks, he darted his eyes off her seductive body.
Irish stared at Borry, and then turned around to head to her office with a sigh.
"Hey! Miss Irish! Please consider it again! I will give my best to keep you happy!"
Borry was very unstable as he tried his best to make Irish accept his proposal for marriage.
Stopping on her track, Irish closed her eyes as she thought.
"Will you be afraid of me if I tell you that I enjoy killing people?"
Irish opened her eyes and said. Borry was a little startled by her sudden words.
"Definitely not! Why would I be afraid of you, Miss Irish. I saw how you love playing with children. How can such a person who is loved by those cute children be a psycho that enjoys killing people!"
Borry didn't care about what Irish had said and walked before her.
"Please, Miss Irish. Marry me!"
Borry bent on his knee and extended his hands which held a diamond ring.
Irish pushed his hands back and walked past him, this time she didn't stop on her track.
'All of you are the same.'
Irish, the Eight Division Captain, also an archeologist, historian, geologist and psychologist.
She read in Borry's eyes, which was dusted with lust and greedy for her body.
Sitting on the chair in her office, she removed the glove on her left hand.
"What exactly is the purpose of my life?"
Muttered Irish as she picked a pen from the table with her left hand.
Slowly, the pen corroded to extremes and vanished in the air with some tiny particles.

Arabasta Kingdom___
Arabasta is an established kingdom with a long history. It is located on Sandy Island; roughly half-way through the first part of the Grand Line.
Sandy Island is a Summer Island.
Alubarna, the capital city of Arabasta. Alubarna is built on a plateau near an oasis, to the northeast of Arabasta.
It is located north of Nanohana and west of Tamarisk. Like several other cities in Arabasta, most of Alubarna's structures follow the conventions of Islamic architecture, such as domed buildings and towers.
Access to the city is done through five long flights of stairs located to the west, southwest, south, southeast and east.
Inside the inn, a tanned woman sat on the bed in her reserved room.
She held a newspaper which was the latest. It was the one where the news about the fall of Devil's Pirates in Drum Kingdom was published.
"You guys."
The woman shook her head and dropped the newspaper on the bed beside her.
What was she upset about? Nobody knew.
"I still remember that day. Will I ever be able to forget that memory? Eight Division Captain of the Devil's Pirates, Irish. Can I avenge my mother?"
The woman was none other than the once small girl, Nico Robin who had seen her mother getting killed.
No, wiped out.
She grew to become a fine woman, but her life wasn't easy to describe.
She fled from one location to another, joining one gang to another, but at last.
She was always chased by the Navy and Marines.
Currently, Robin hid in a secret criminal organization in Arabasta called Baroque Works.
Their objective, or the leader's, was to find and get his hands on one of the three ancient weapons.
The ancient weapon which was the target is called Pluton, the rest of the information was unknown.
"But I didn't expect the Straw Hats to actually defeat Kitta in his own territory."
Robin was greatly surprised and didn't anticipate this outcome from Luffy and the crew whom she had met once.
"Were they hiding their strength?"
Robin pulled out a wanted poster which belonged to Luffy, and pondered.
'They are coming here if I am not wrong. Princess Vivi is also with them now."
Robin crosses her legs and starts making different plans for the upcoming situations.
She had an advantage against the leader of Baroque Works. That was the advantage of knowledge.
From the very beginning, Robin didn't want the leader to get his hands on Pluton.
That would just cause mass destruction on Arabasta and other places.
Her goal for working with the leader was only to learn more about the history which was lost in the passing time.
And it seems, a chance was soon going to arrive here in Arabasta in the form of Straw Hat Pirates.
