CHAPTER - 22 { War! Part-2 }

Marine Headquarter___

200 thousand soldiers were stationed here, 24 Vice Admirals were leading their teams and the 3 Admirals were yet to come.

"Where are they?, " Asked Ryujin, coming next to him a soldier informed about the Admirals.

"Admiral Mia is flying over here after her treatment, Admiral Yoru is doing a last check about the video connection. About Admiral Wild… He seems to be missing, " Reported the Soldier but as he came to Admiral Wild, he was a little scared.

"Leave, " Commanded Ryujin. After the soldier left, he looked at the soldiers below in thousands.

Marine Experimental Island___

Inside the laboratory, sitting on the chair was a young looking man. Sea blue eyes, white coloured hair, but his arms…

They were replaced with mechanical arms made of sea stones. Looking closely, one could see blood on his fingertips.

"Next time, don't make me late, " Said the man as he stood up and pulled a white coat from the table next to the chair.

Putting on his coat, he walked out of the room. On his back was the symbol of Marines…

Justice!

Inside the room, only five scientists were left alive and the rest were all killed. Each body had a small hole on their forehead, the size same as a finger.

High in the sky, after the clouds, flying were ships in hundreds. Led by a big ship with a devils head, on the bow was a man sleeping.

"Captain, we are just at the right spot, " Said Jessica, all the ships stopped floating forward.

"How much time is left before the execution?, " Asked Akuma while opening his eyes and gazing at the white clouds below.

"Four hours, " Answered Jessica. She was really bored and wanted to play some games with Gerry and Laurens.

"I want my first soul to be a big pirate, " Muttered Akuma. Standing up from the bow, he jumped on the top of the Main-mast.

Looking, he saw 6 hundreds of pirate ships with the flags of a human skull with red horns and two bones behind.

"Laurens, create the atmosphere, " Said Akuma, to him a boy on the deck nodded and started using his devil fruit powers to create a storm around them.

* * *

Flying in the sky, Mia saw the outline of the Marine Headquarters. But in the sky, she saw dark clouds forming.

"Looks like a storm is going to appear, " Muttered Mia, increasing her flying speed and almost bursting in air.

"What's that?, " Asked a soldier in the row, following his gaze the others looked as well. A small golden figure was flying towards them.

"That's Admiral Mia, code name 'Angel', " Answered the Vice Admiral who was the incharge of the team while looking at the flying Admiral.

*Thud!*

Landing in front of the golden coloured chair, Mia glances at the sides to see the missing Admirals.

'Still late, " Thought Mia, she took her coat off and placed it behind the chair. Sitting, she could see the entire army of marine soldiers.

"On time?, " A voice came from below, Mia not surprised. She looked at the dark shadow that passed through the concrete floor.

The dark shadow changed into a blacked haired man with a very tall height. He then did the same with his coat as Mia.

"It's quiet, " Said Yoru as he sat on the chair in between and observed the surroundings.

"The calm before the storm, " Replied Mia with a worried expression. She used her observation haki to look closer.

'How many will really survive this war?, ' thought Mia as she saw the scared soldiers who didn't want to fight but had to participate.

"Who knows, " Said Yoru, Mia raised her eyebrows and looked at Admiral Yoru who was leaning on the chair.

"Please don't read my thoughts, it's weird, " Said Mia, she crossed her hands over her chest and leaned on the chair like Yoru.

"Just instincts, " Replied Yoru, he closed his eyes and went in a meditating mode. Mia just kept observing the army.

"Looks like he won't come unless he get some profitt, " Said Ryujin while looking at the only Admiral chair that was empty.

'Really like you, ' though Ryujin, he looked at the dark clouds that were offering in the sky.

"Everyone! Attention! We will now start the execution!, " Said Ryujin in a very loud voice that was clear to everyone present.

All the streaming den den mushies were streaming the war live to the audience which were the people all around the world.

"Bring the prisoner Midnight!, " Ordered Ryujin, following his orders, two men in gray uniform came with a man in chains.

The man was at least 2 meters tall and looked weak, mainly because of how he was kept in the prison.

On his right cheek was a black circle with a human skull in the middle. He wore a blacked striped shirt and pants in white.

"Marine, you will pay! And 'Wild! I will fucking kill you!, " Shouted Midnight. But as he looked at the empty Admiral chair, he was almost out of control.

"Bastard! Where are you!, " Shouting again, Midnight tried to struggle but was punched on his stomach by a powerful fist.

"Stay quiet, it's your goodbye hours, " Said Ryujin, he pulled him in the middle of the stage and cleared his throat.

"Midnight is what most of you call him but even I don't know why! His real name is Barbaric D Noman. The Vice Captain of the Dark Pirates!, " Said Ryujin with a calm voice but enough for every single one to hear him.

"There is st-, " Before Ryujin could finish his sentence, a loud explosion was heard in Marine Headquarter.

Amongst the soldiers, five to six soldiers exploded and took dozens of soldiers with them.

"Kekekeke! My son! Daddy is here!, " The area that was blasted turned into a dark shadow and many pirates emerged from within it.

In the middle was a man in his 50s, long black messy hair, black beard and black irises. He was 187 centimeters tall.

"Dad! Get me out of here!, " Shouted Midnight, but suddenly his vision turned blank.

Midnight, an extremely dangerous pirate that scared the entire world. Having a billion bounty on his head.

Was killed, his head crushed by a powerful dragon palm. His body dropped down on the stage cold.

Everything happened so suddenly that no one had time to adjust their mind with the situation.

"My son?, " Said Daifuk, he was in a daze as he saw his son's headless body fall on the stage without moving.

"D-Did you, j-just kill my son? O-Old man?, " Asked Daifuk while he had tears in his eyes. Rubbing, he looked at the large man standing on the stage.

"I will kill and make sure nobody leaves this place alive".
