Vice Admiral Leo, Admiral Kizaru and Vice Admiral Tsuru walked through the door. The raging fire that clad Leo's fists illuminated the area somewhat, and the shadowy, skeletal, monstrous figure hiding in the room was exposed. An explosion went off diagonally above the strange creature, and Enki wailed, clearly damaged by the explosion. Tsuru, immediately realizing the threat, asked Kizaru to deal with the explosives. But the creature's instincts told it to use this opportunity to attack. After all, Kizaru, one of the strongest men in the world, would be busy, and Leo would be on his own. A perfect time to strike. Or so the creature thought. Little did it know, Leo was not a man that was ever caught offguard. His eyes glowed a red color once again - in the shadows of this room, the glow of his eyes was even more pronounced. He saw a few moments into the future, an extremely rare ability that even the Admirals did not possess, and in that future, Leo saw his gruesome fate sealed. A strange device appeared out of the shadows cast by his own fire, right on Leo's stomach. That device would erupt, sending condensed sea shrapnel to rip through Leo's otherwise intangible body.
However, with that knowledge, Leo was able to act.
Tsuru-san, guard yourself.
Leo said before the attack even came, perhaps to Tsuru's surprise. In that moment, using Kamisori, Leo disappeared from the spot, and the strange device appeared, erupting. Whether Tsuru was in range or not remained to be seen, but Leo was out of there before the attack even came. He appeared in front of the creature, and with Leo's arrival, came a powerful burst of Conqueror's Haki as Leo's eyes met the creature's. Still utilizing his Future Sight, Leo would attack witht he knowledge of how the creature would react, allowing him to massively increase his chances of landing the attack. Leo's right hand came forward like a lion's claw. The claw raged with fire, and Leo aimed to rip it into the creature's abdomen, and straight through it. The physical damage itself threatened to be great, but the burns themselves would be severe as well.
Fire Claw...!
81-100: 5. Large Building Level + S:+4 + COA: +1 (invisible COA) = 10. Island Level
Fire Claw:
Leo transforms his hand into fire before using any variant of Shigan. This allows his Shigan to burn the insides of whatever the fingers stab, as well as unleash a blast of fire that blows the target away after the Shigan connects. Rank S.Severe burn.

Vice-Admiral Leo saw what no one else did. He warned Tsuru, who widened her eyes in surprise, but complied. In front of her, a barrier of wash was erected, and like clockwork, the attack dissipated in it. Tsuru stayed protecting the entrance. Kizaru found himself tracking now hundreds of spheres. Even at his speed, he was taking time. Vice-Admiral went for the gut punch.
Leo pursued the Trackers, finding his trek to be much, two football fields, as noted earlier. The tracker was surprised, but the distance allowed him to react. The tracker took a stance with both hands in a kamehameha move. It was a stance Leo would be familiar with.
[Tracker] “Sun Fist: Light Mirror Kata!!!”
The two palmed fists would clash against the Fire Claw, stopping it it’s tracks. The explosive and concussive power went into the hands of the Tracker, seemingly going from one hand to the other, as if in a loop, coming out the other side, releasing the concussive force right on Leo’s hand, intent on blowing it away.
A technique similar to Tekkai counter, but much more elaborate. The Sun Fist style. Where had Leo seen that before….?
Whether by attack, counter, or by shock on the style used, the tracker was pushed back, crashing against the wall. Appendages came from his back and moved him through the wall, now skittering away, spheres forming around him. Though survived the blow, burns were on the Tracker’s hands, though not severe, given his unusual body and elemental resistance.
For the first wave to be this, what was awaiting them? Leo may realize, this was the real deal. Without an additional power, could they even survive the mission into the Old World?
DPS Defense: 81-100: 5. Large Building Level +3 A Rank + 2 Hardening +1 Elemental Resistance = 11. Small Continent Level
DPR 2 or more below dura: Not very effective
DPS Attack (return): 10. Large Country Level [Note: has haki]
It reminds me of military jargon that something has landed. Or that's what I got from it at least. That's why i'm waiting patiently for him to clarify.

Both Vice Admiral Tsuru and Admiral Kizaru were shocked to see Leo, a man widely considered to be a Marine Hero, wounded so early in the mission - and by the first enemy they encountered to be precise.
This prompted them to act quickly. Vice Admiral Tsuru blocked off the exit using her wash powers, while Admiral Kizaru intercepted the creature, aiming to attack it together with Leo from front and back. In fact, that was exactly what Vice Admiral Tsuru called onto Leo to do, telling him to get it together and that they had to catch the creature here. However, likely to Vice Admiral Tsuru's and Admiral Kizaru's further surprise, calling onto Leo did not wake him from his shock. Leo was deep in his mind, recalling certain memories. What was it that shocked him so much?
What happened next would shock both of his fellow Marines. Leo, who had crossed his arms and hidden his fists inside his sleeves, now uncrossed his arms. His fists were completely uninjured, and Leo reached into his pocket, pulling out a Den Den Mushi. A Den Den Mushi that Leo had not dialed in a decade. The Den Den Mushi had blond hair, a female face and an annoyed facial expression. The Den Den Mushi started to connect, and Leo was trying to contact someone. Would she pick up? Would Leo's complete abandonment of the battle cost the group? Or would Admiral Kizaru manage to finish the creature off on his own?
Without a doubt, the mission was quickly going off tracks.
You know for a moment I forget Leo had the pheonix, so when i read that his fist healed I was like "WHAT THE FUCK???"

A shock to all. Leo had such a prominent reputation, this was nothing short of unbelievable. The Marine Hero, frozen. Inside the smoke, the Tracker finally saw the figure of Leo. The vice-admiral had an opportunity to strike, but he was frozen.
The Tracker appeared in front of Leo, Arms cocked back, whispering that unique style of attack, haki brimming. The hands flew forward, but, like Leo, stopped frozen. The hands stopped an inch from the den den mushi. The creature stared at the hair on the den den mushi, that strand of blonde, clicking it’s tongue warily, in recognition.
Suddenly, a flash of light took the creature to the ground, face-down.
[Admiral Kizaru] “Now’s our chance! Leo! Help me hold him down! The cuffs! Put them on him! We need to interrogate him!”
Kizaru held the Tracker down. Every second, Kizaru’s body shot out small lasers against the travker’s body, preventing him from moving. The creature screamed in agony. However, it struggled, slowly turning.
[Vice-Admiral Tsuru] “Capture?! He’s the reconnaissance! We need to kill him now! Leo, do it!”
Tsuru chimed in, now coming from behind. Her right hand was clad in haki and water, whirling like a wash. Both had good points. They knew nothing about the enemy, getting information about them would potentially be crucial. However, at what risk? This was no normal fighter. If he was reconnaissance, could they risk it?
I have started to write my post in the pirate festival, but I might not be able to finish (my internet has started to disconnect a lot, don't know why) Hopefully I will be able to post

OCC Note: A butterfly effect was triggered!
Inside Enki
All eyes on Leo. The Tracker was immobilized, but a decision had to be made. Capture or kill? Kizaru told Leo to capture the Tracker. Tsuru told Leo to kill, alleging he was reconnaissance. Lost in his thoughts, frozen, Leo was even more perplexed on the figure stopping his attack. The decision was nigh.
Leo asked the Admiral to let him go. Leo chose not to kill the Tracker, instead to capture. The Admiral grunted, seeing Leo’s spirit. Because Leo took his side, if anything else, Kizaru let him go. The Admiral stepped back, now searching for his cuffs.
[Tracker] “Kill… kill… kill… kill?”
The Tracker stood up. He stared at Leo. The words he kept muttering since they saw him, of kill, now ended with a question mark. Leo wanted a chance to address the being, now was the time. Leo would note the beast had his undivided attention. However, almost without intent, the being’s right eye bleeped red twice. It was subtle. Leo or Kizaru would not know it, but the Tracker had sent information back to Pangea.
Floor to Vice-Admiral Hero Leo.
Decision: Kill or Capture the Tracker
Leo chose to capture the Tracker
Butterfly Effect:
+ Valuable Intel
Contemporaries will gain valuable intel on the weaknesses of the Primordials and hints of their true origin.
- Lost Element of Surprise
Tracker sent information to Pangea. Pangea now knows of the Contemporaries’ roster, powers, and imminent arrival.
- Relationship with Tsuru
Tsuru lost trust with Leo
+ Relationship with Kizaru
Kizaru gained trust with Leo. The boost in trust allowed Kizaru to let the Tracker loose and trust Leo and his request.
What the hell is going on with this thing bruh. This story is interesting as shit.
And the butterfly effect thing, i really hope i see more of in other story arcs. Because its cool and shakes things up, i have no idea whats going to happen lol

All eyes on Leo and the Tracker. The tracker stood surrounded, with Leo and his impending Will holding him hostage. The den den mushi showed that golden hair. Golden hair that made the Tracker react. But how? Why? The Tracker saw his life hanging. He had quivered, as if scared to tell.
However, Leo’s spirit made him speak.
[Tracker] “…. Lia? Lady Lia b-”
Suddenly, the throat of the Tracker closed up. The monster began to gurgle, his whole body shaking. What seemed to be lights flared inside his throat, as if reacting to those words: Lia. Kizaru and Tsuru widened their eyes, covering their heads. An explosion followed, beheading the Tracker. It’s body fell forward at Leo’s feet. A silenced spy. The Tracker knew Lia. How?
Between the silence, a voice echoed. A humanoid figure clad in a shadow, very much human and not Primordial, was projected from the neck.
[Voice] “Tu-tu-tu-tu. Such unreliable beasts...”
[Voice] “Can’t believe they sent you, my dear Kizaru. I see Absolute Justice is eroding on you, Burns. Has it already been more than 30 years, Tsuru-san? Turn back. Or your graves shall be marked in Pangea.”
The projection shut off. The figure spoke with knowledge with all three, with Tsuru noted more familial. Pangea now knew they were coming. Threats of death. Their lead was gone. However, they had the body of a Primordial, likely the only one ever recovered. What could they learn from it?
The alarm had subsided. On the observatory, the voices of Onigumo and Dalmatian could be heard - they were back. Enki had reached the ground floor, 20,000 meters in the ocean floor.

The three came back to the observatory. Greeting them with a solemn look was Chimera, hands straddled above the hologram. Onigumo and Dalmatian were sitting at their side, strapping their wounds with bandages and alcohol. They were wounded, but true Vice-Admirals they were. Chimera asked for a report, and it was given, with Kizaru placing the Tracker’s body on the hologram table.
The group took a second to compose themselves. Tsuru broke the silence, answering Leo.
[Tsuru] “The voice… I do not recognize it. There are many who know us all three. Pirates and Marines alike.”
[Tsuru] “One thing I could decipher. The voice… it’s old. Only those who knew me in my youth call me Tsuru-san.”
Truth laid out in thoughts. Chimera squinted his eyes, even he did not decipher who it was. Old? Who could it be?
Chimera used his bare hands to tear open the Tracker, like one would an autopsy. Hand and feet like fishmen. Eyes like giants. A tail curled up inside like a dwarf. Scales like a Reptilian. Fur like a Humandrill. Elemental resistance like Lunarians. Fangs and claws like Minks. Primal like Sentient beasts. Everything else seems human-like. Who were these beings?
One thing was special; the central nervous system, connecting to everything, was at the nape of the neck - it had been blown half-off. The weakness of the Primordial had been revealed.
[Kizaru] “Leo. Your ’voice’ and demeanor changed when you saw it. Enough to wound. Enough to jeopardize the mission on a gamble. Justice set aside.”
[Kizaru] “This... Lia? Who is she?”
All eyes on Leo. Before they could proceed, Kizaru demanded the truth, the same as Tsuru just answered. Chimera squinted his eyes. A squint, but enough. He had his doubts on Leo’s Absolute Justice.
The part where Chimera rips open the primidorial reminds of a superior version of World Government was attempting to pull off with the Lunarians that I sent you with Cletus story lol.
Makes me wonder if the primidorials are what I think they are (without revealing that story point before it happens in the event lol) @Ichimonji

I recall Zephyr being captured or beaten or died etc. earlier somewhere when i was reading islands earlier. I dont remember.
Calling it now, the voice belongs to Zephyr. As i said i dont remember if he died. But assuming he is, because im not going to look back and check rn, this is somehow that ****a raised from the dead or saved and he was altered like the primidorial creature that just died. And he know everyone because he was Tsuru's comrade, Kizarus mentor and maybe Burn's too?
This is assuming yall didnt make up an entirely new character altogether and im just tripping rn lol
