(Vol 2) CHAPTER - 40 { Seven Warlords of the Sea! }

Heaven Realm___

White House was as always in darkness, but today it was having visitors from far away.

Akuma sat on his throne and looked at the man in front of him sitting on a portable chair.

"Haha! It's really a mysterious place! The town has become even bigger and much more advanced than the last time I came here!, " Said Shanks, drinking his bottle of sake and laughing.

"But why are the trees here full of spikes!, " Said Beckman, sitting on a safe spot after finding for so long.

"That's because father likes it that way, " Replied Wick as he drank his sake and shook his head.

'It's really strong!, ' Thought Wick, he raised the sake bottle and looked at the name of the place it was made.

"What a rare day! We finally have a returner!, " Said Maba, he sat on the side of Akuma and sipped some sake.

"At first I thought that Sphinx became a statue when she didn't move a bit!

Even now I can feel that she is strong as hell! I wish Yasopp was like her!, " Said Shanks showing some regret and looking towards Yasopp in the process.

"Hey! She was made to be strong! And I am not a fighter, but a freaking sniper!, " Replied Yasopp grunting but Shanks kept looking towards him.

"Hahahha!, " The Hall was filled with laughter and jokes of the Red Hair Pirates.

Akuma didn't talk much but still, he came to know that Shanks was a very lively person.

"You can take some things you like from the town, " Said Akuma, resting himself by leaning on the throne.

He was prohibited from drinking sake or any liqueur because of his health by Jimmy.

"Really! Then I want that thing that looks like a small cloud!, " Said Shanks excitedly to Akuma while the other Red Hair Pirates also shared their desires.

"I will prepare all of them, " Replied Maba standing up from the spot and crawling out of the White House.

After a few more talks, Shanks decided that they should not stay much longer and disturb Akuma.

"I really wanted to know, what is your goal in life?, " Asked Shanks, standing up from the chair and staring at Akuma with curiosity.

"My goal?, " Muttered Akuma, his body almost stopped moving then and there.

"It's okay if you don't want to say. Ha ha ha, " Shanks smiled and was about to step out of the door with his crew.

When the voice of Akuma sounded from behind, making them stop on their path.

"To create a history where people learn about me and know that I am real, " Said Akuma with his deep voice, black eyes on Shanks that looked really scary.

"That's… a good aim in life!, " Said Shanks, nodding his head and looking up at Akuma.

"I hope you can achieve that!, " Then, the Red Hair Pirates left the White House.

New World___

Not long after the Red Hair Pirates left Devil's Home, the news of this was spread.

Making the World Government tense, leading to the once again voting of the Seven Warlords.

And the majority voted that the Seven Warlords are needed to maintain the balance.

But balance between whom and for what?

Morgans, in the latest news described that the New World, GrandLine, was now taken over by Big Pirates.

The Four Emperors- Whitebeard, Big Mom, Kaido and Shanks.

And, Wholeheart Akuma, The Devil of the Sea!

These pirates took over the New World and had their own Territories and also controlled the many small pirates.

The World Government came to the conclusion that the world really needs balance.

Marines Headquarters, Seven Warlords, Four Emperors and the Devil.

The Four Strongest forces in the world, to maintain balance all around.

The news of the World Government finding seven strong pirates, who would serve them came out.

Of course, coming with the profits of getting their bounties frozen and no actions from Marine even if they did extortion.

But obviously extortion to a limit, and bounties frozen meaning that the Marine Or Bounty Hunters won't target them.

The World Government would also not interfere with the side works of Seven Warlords, unless it came to their nose.

Amazon Lilly___

The huge building for the Empress came to view.

"Empress! Maba has called! He wants you to take a place in the Seven Warlords, " Said a woman running inside the room and bowing.

"Did Godfather speak?, " Asked the woman who sat on the throne, around her was a long snake circling her.

She was none other than the little girl who once wanted to ride Sphinx.

Boa Hancock, now the Empress of Kuja Tribe also known as 'Snake Princess', of Amazon Lily and rules over the Kuja tribe with her two younger Gorgon sisters, Boa Sandersonia and Boa Marigold.

"Amazon Lily also needs protection, did they sent the invitation?, " Asked Hancock, stroking the neck of the snake that had a skull over it's head.

"Yes! They sent it a few days ago!, " Said the woman as she presented her respect like never before.

"Tell them, the Empress will accept their offer!, " Said Hancock, she looked at the back of the leaving woman.

"I really want to see, Godfather! Now that I have become strong, " Muttered Hancock, her eyes having the flash of memories in her mind.

Two months later, all the invitations for the seats of the Seven Warlords were taken.

The World Government Elders called for a meeting, where they would discuss some rules.

Then, another month went by for the time of the meeting to arrive.

Red Line, Mary Geoise___

Inside the huge hall, joined by an open balcony. Fleet Admiral Sengoku sat in the front of seven figures.

The first, Seven Warlords of the Sea!

Dracule Mihawk, better known as Hawk Eyes, is sometimes hero or sometimes villain. He is currently the 'Greatest Swordsman in the World'.

Donquixote Doflamingo, the captain of the Donquixote Pirates, the king of Dressrosa and the most influential underworld broker.

Bartholomew Kuma, ate the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi that allows him to repel anything with the palms of his hands. This Devil Fruit is very formidable as it can deflect almost any attack (including sword slashes), air, and even pain itself. He can also use this Devil Fruit power to send people away to where he chooses.
