chapter 17 MARINES PLANNING

after the attack on the kemetism pirates all the powerhouses were either fatally injured or dead there were some of the stronger members like sung Ra hyung who ate the slip slip fruit , gunner our vice chief sniper and night rul our helmsman . askansa guarded our ship to prevent pirates from attacking us . since we were in coma a lot of pirates were getting cocky and thinking they could defeat us ,askansa absolutely crushed them with her commanders ,she didn't even had to partake in the fight her conquerors haki was enough to make the captains pee Thier pants and give up Thier will to live ,women pirates were the most miserable because they knew what would happen so they usually jumped to the sea with Thier hand cut ,attracting seakings and making them eat them ,they'd rather get eaten by seakings than get r*****.

the cocky marines were another thing they weren't even remotely strong it they were fresh of the academy so whenever a marine came and they had the air of naivety around them all the pirates started chanting "FRESH MEAT !!"to them and they would capture and torture them to death .

After 6 days in coma XEBEC was out of the infirmary and he just had to rest and not get involved in anything ,the next day pops was out and that day at night lincoln was out of the infirmary. all of them had bandages all over them making them look like mummies ,they looked at each other and laughed drinking away liquor and falling asleep .

the enemies stalking and attacking them were taken cared by the commanders and askansa all of them were barely trying tho. since the absence of emperor's the marines have been more bold and attacking the places and settlements where our influence doesn't reach out ,even though we gained the territory we were one crew and it was just too much land mass to cover and look over ,so since we didn't plan to fight Henry right away so we spread out our numbers and made them station on most of our territories but the border ones were still under marine rule .

the whole world had Thier eyes on us ,buggle was making big bucks due to our accomplishments and he was squeezing us out of all the information he could get our bounties got updated and it was real stressful to keep bounty hunters pirates and newbie marines away from us .the new bounties were

1."BLOOD DRAGON REBORN" ROCKS .D.XEBEC-4.56 BILLION BERRY

2."TUNER OF EARTHQUAKES " EDWARD NEWGATE -4.009 BILLION BERRY

3." BLADE OF HEAVEN "EDWARD LINCOLN-3.8 billion berry

GARP pov :

it's a brand new day and I've just recovered from my fight with roger . I have taken under several new privates I see promise in but the one I'm most expectant is in kuzan a tall young man who is around 14 years old ,he is upright and honest but he is too lazy everything other than training he prefers to sleep and laze around .and since he is one of zephyrs best students he is well known in all of the powerbalance and so on .he is really talented in armament and I am a armament master so I took him under. last year there was another promising recruit who ate the glint glint fruit ,he is already under Jennings and nest month he will receive his marine rank .there also was another recruit named akainu who ate the magma magma fruit he is under Kong sensi since he has the same mentality as Kong sensei the absolute justice bullcrap.

it's been two months since Amun died and rocks has been laying low except for the small skirmishes between rocks and Henry pirates ,either one of them have yet to fight for the title "the strongest Man in the seas " .claro San wants them to fight but he will end Henry not rocks and by his judgement rocks is only as strong as Dalia ,Henry's wife . so I think XEBEC is laying low and growing in strength but I believe that Henry won't lose he has decades worth of experience and is just better in ki and sorts .

me and my shipmates are sailing towards the meeting place of Kong sensei , SENGOKU , and Jennings San . we are going today to fight the rocks pirates and gather info on them like Thier troops and sorts . this will also be a good fighting experience for the newbies and it will also relieve some stress from my back.

after 2 hours ,we reached our destination as we stepped into the island what we saw were looks of hostility from all sides.

SENGOKU - GARP you imbecile you were supposed to come 6 hours ago !!

GARP - BWHAHAHAHA REALLY? LETS JUST IGNORE THAT SENCHAN !

Jennings - with how late you are it's not even fashionable.

kong - there's a transponder snail for a fucking reason GARP use it you dumb blade !

garp - sorry sorry ,now let's discuss

while they were discussing Thier attack on the rocks pirates the newbies were taking amongst themselves too

rookie #1- I'm so scared but at the same time I'm pumped for tommorow . I know that the seniors won't let us die !

rookie #2- you can't say they might be busy with fighting and by the moment he comes we would be dead. ten times over .

rookie#3- true true ,but you can't say you're not excited aren't you kuzan ?akainu ?

akainu - I will kill all of them and bring them to true justice .

kuzan - maa maa~akainu don't get too excited for the fight ,one mistake and we will be killed or be made a plaything for the gay commander Arnold .

akainu - they won't be able to touch me I have the strength of absolute justice on my side

kuzan - wow akainu I didn't know you were so fucking cringey dude ,leave out the stress and just chill bro .

rookie #4 -its easy for you to say you guys have logia fruits and it is impossible to hurt you guys you will survive while we will be cannon fodder .

akainu - it is because you're weak nothing else blame your parents for being weaklings

rookie #5 - fuck you akainu ,now I really hope someone kills you tommorow.

kuzan - dude ,he wasn't serious or anything so chilll~~

**back with the adults **

kong - how are going to proceed ?

SENGOKU - I say we wait for the 36 ships and go rather than going earlier and fighting and when we nee backup by that time they will come.it is too risky considering the backup isn't really outstanding ,I woulve appreciated if claro San sent out Franny or Pearlie from the vice admirals rank they would make this a whioe lot easier to escape .

Jennings- if we go together with them Newgate will use his fruit to make an earthquake and destroy all of them in one fell swoop .and don't forget if we lose our ships we lose our footings we can't fight in air using geppo all the time ,so we will have to lure them to an island and conaidering those battle junkies they will follow us and fight .

kong - so who will fight who ?

GARP - I want to fight Lincoln!

SENGOKU - Lincoln is a person whom is closer to Newgate in power and If we manage to kill him we will be able to cut off a future threat .and Lincoln is really strong since we have to fight at our full strength against him.id even say he is stronger than the roger pirates captain garo has been fighting with .

Jennings- so GARP and SENGOKU Vs Lincoln , Kong Vs whitebeard and me Vs XEBEC is it finalized

everyone : yes !

after the meeting Kong and GARP went on to teach Thier respective students and SENGOKU started polishing his abilities and Jennings got drunk and oasse out with a finished meat bone in his hand .
