Pangean Plains
“Black Arm” Zephyr. A name who heroes and legends called Sensei. A hallmark in Marine History. Out of all places, this is where the legend ended up after the Impel Down breakout - in Pangea, fighting for the wrong side. Now, they stared the Pangean Army of thousands.
Everyone was surprised by Zephyr’s Entrance, but it was Leo who questioned the legendary Instructor. He answered.
[Zephyr] “You runt. I told you once that I had seen all the darkness this world had to offer… I had not. They taught me much. There is only one way, and it begins here.”
Words to remember. Had seen all the darkness the world had to offer. Zephyr had said those words in their last encounter. With a roar, Zephys commanded the Army, and thousands begun their march, They were so many, the very earth shook.
The last words of Zephyr hit Kizaru deep. His face changed. Tsuru, who had been watching Zephyr, turned by the aura changed. The one calm man was serious.
[Kizaru] “Led astray, allowed his work to be stained. No more! No one touch him but me. Today, Zephyr-sensei‘s memory will no longer continue to be tarnished. I’ll bury his exemplary memory here.”
If Leo felt some hostility from Kizaru towards him before, it all made sense now. Kizaru looked up to Zephyr like a father, like a legend. Above all, he wanted to protect his legacy, perhaps because it shaped his own. Leaving him rampant, as Leo did when he chose to incarcerate him and not finish him, further allowed his legacy to ruin. Kizaru would end that today.Suddenly, Tsuru called with a tone of dissent.
[Tsuru] “Borsalino-boy. I can’t imagine how you must feel to see him like that. But please reconsider. We are blind here. Without intel, we would not even know where to start.”
[Tsuru] “I am the Commanding Officer now. We capture Zephyr-san.”
The roles were reversed. Now, it was Kizaru who wanted to kill and Tsuru who wanted to capture. Tsuru had a point. Kizaru had a point, riddled with emotions. But if there was anyone who could empathize, it was Tsuru, who grew up shoulder to shoulder with Zephyr. Kizaru scoffed and turned his gaze to the Army. He did not reply. What would he do? Onigumo made an ill-advised joke that it would not matter, as they would likely die at the hands of the army.The joke was met by a very particular reaction from Kizaru, Tsuru, and likely Leo. Kizaru disappeared, appearing over the advancing Army in a bright light. Dozens of lasers rained down, creating chaos in the front lines. Tsuru slammed her hands into the ground. From the air above the Army, the air was “washed” causing small tornadoes to rip through the Army. Dalmatian and Onigumo, inspired, roared. They jumped off the cliff, transformed, and advanced on the Army.
The Great Pangean War had begun.
