Event The Sovereign War

[Kaka]

The emergence of the Neo Navy

For a long time now, the world was governed by a careful balance of three great forces - the Yonkou, the Shichibukai, and the Navy; or rather, their greatest fighting force, the Admirals. Such a balance was important to keep the world from boiling over, and it worked. For a long time. Until today. Finally, the actions of a certain few destabilized the world. All it took was something small. One small action that was placed at just the right time, at just the right place, by just the right person. The execution of Vice Admiral Tsuru, Vice Admiral Gion, and the New Hope of the Navy, Captain Coby; at the hands of Landayan Morrow and the Silver Vampirate Pirates. The same pirate crew that Sephiroth ''the Apocalypse'' was associated with, and with him, the defeats of two Vice Admirals, as well as Admiral Fujitora. A grave imbalance. A grave consequence. The tipping point.

Nations around the world watched trembling, wondering what their fate would be. They themselves were not directly involved, perhaps - but their fates were equally intertwined. This was not about those who were getting executed. Nay. This was about a message. A direct challenge to the World Government - and there was only one outcome. The World Government would either squash the revolution, or they would be sent reeling back; the world plunged into chaos.

Amidst all of this was a man - a famous one, he would be a wildcard in this war. The former Hero of the Navy, Vice Admiral Leonard Burns. A man of Absolute Justice, who normally, would side with the World Government, against the pirates. And yet, Hero of the Navy he was no more. Vice Admiral of the Navy he was no more. Instead, he was bound to a wheelchair, retired from his duty. So thought the world.

The Silver Vampirates' fleet, 30,000 strong, manned the waters east and west of the Sovereign Island, split equally in two forces of 15,000 strong. The Navy sailed through the Calm Belt, appearing on the horizon, both east and west. More than 35,000 strong, 18,000 were coming from the east, and 18,000 from the west. Cannonfire opened and roared, and the war had begun. A few kilometers off shore, on the side of the Sovereign Island that was terraformed from the lands of Dressrosa, in the waters off to the side and away from the barrage of cannonfire, the surface of the sea began to bubble. Six massive silhouettes appeared beneath the surface of the sea. Suddenly, the surface erupted, and the silhouettes came to light. One massive warship after another surfaced, and in a matter of seconds, another fleet graced the frontlines. Six warships strong, each vessel of legendary status and power - carrying a flag that had been forgotten in the eyes of the world, ever since the death of Z.

The Neo Navy was here.

​

Ichiban. Niban. Sanban. Yonban. Goban. Rokuban. The six legendary warships, making up the core of the Neo Navy's fleet.

Commander of the Rokuban, Bang, was present.

Commander of the Goban, Hiro, was present.

Commander of the Yonban, Dr. Megapunk, was present.

Commander of the Sanban, Tetsuya, was present.

Commander of the Niban, Jirou, was present.

*whistle* Would you look at that, what a war...!

Jirou said, smiling.

Mmm... It's gonna be fun to fight all of these people...

Tetsuya said, biting on her favorite toothpick.

Dr. Megapunk... I still think it's a really good name I gave myself.

Dr. Megapunk said - it seemed this was an ongoing discussion.

Yea, very innovative. How'd you come up with it?

Hiro asked, going along with Dr. Megapunk's shit.

Bwahaha! I wanna test out our warships!

Bang shouted.



From the Ichiban, the Neo Navy's flagship, and a ship that Admiral Zephyr had once sailed - or perhaps this is a lookalike; loud footsteps could be heard. The sound of metal hitting wood came with every footstep as a silhouetted man walked up and onto the deck. The Commanders all looked over toward the walking man, smiling. His deep, booming voice could be heard across all of the six warships, he gave his command.

You will stay here. I will go alone.

I do not yet know... where we stand in all of this.

Roger that... General Burns.

Sovereign War – Alabasta #1
@Ichimonji

​

“Wwwweeeee haveeeee arrrivvvessss….”

A lich aboard the Oceanus called out into the ship quarters in a creepy, slithery tone. A fragile-looking skeleton hiding its bony frame within a cloak brims with spiritual energy, eyes and chest glowing in this turquoise-like energy. The lich stood still, as if awaiting a response or command from whoever it was speaking to.

Tuk tuk tuk tuk

Sounds of footsteps stepping onto the wooden planks of the ship could be heard coming towards Lich, only separated by a singular door. As the footsteps became louder, the Lich started to step aside to give space as the door opens. Dark. The being that the Lich spoke to did not respond, quietly only walking forward as light touches the entity. Black hair, yet streaks of red highlights several parts of the hair. A strange combination of colour, even for someone whom may not care about fashion and beauty – the red strands of hair are… random.

The back of the entity, a male figure – a young boy could be seen. While his face isn’t seen well, black bandages wrapped around his head alongside his black outfit could only be implied to be the Shadow of the Grim Reaper. It has been quite a while since the events of Whole Cake Island. From the Rise of La Spada to the betrayal of Akira. The end of the events, the specifics of the broadcast. No one knew what truly happened. Not even to their own crew. To the world, all that could have happened is the sudden arrival of an Assassin attempting to eliminate La Spada, only to fail. To the Spada Pirates, all that happened after the broadcast is the punishment of Akira, but not for the betrayal – they would not know.

“Send mah’ dear Shadow tah’ Udon! Punishment for yah’ failure! Kuhahahaha!”

Yet, only to be released once more by La Spada, as if absolving him of his punishment with new orders but only because Akira could still serve a purpose for the Grim Reaper - that he still have utility. Achieved they were. Now, a new order is given – to join the war and eliminate as many as he could, alone. Without Kyria or even Feltyrosa – not even a single person that is allowed to. A terrible punishment – it is a suicide mission to join the war alone, one that any of them knew about. Yet for the punished, it is probably easier alone than not. A war would bring about chaos and no matter which side they are on the chaotic mess would allow Akira to eliminate as many as he could. Vampirates, Revolutionaries, World Government. Three birds in one stone. This war benefits La Spada greatly, as the aftermath of this war would greatly weakened her enemies. Akira’s new order isn’t just about causing greater chaos and confusion in the war, but to prolong it as much as possible, causing further casualties.

His identity is much of a secret, his bounties – hidden behind unknown entities that are faceless. Even with the raid suit - Alone, this makes it far more difficult to just chase him down as a singular entity, who is to say in the war that Akira is helping either side to the eyes of many? His objectives set – Oceanus would finally anchor down in the middle of the sea, the Calm Belt. Beyond here, the boy has to get to the battle on his own. An island that would set the stage for war, proudly broadcasted for everyone to get a piece of the pie – to come out victorious. Beside him is Twilight’s Edge and all that he would bring apart from his blade, the Raid Suit that became known as ‘Kurai’. The boy has set his sights on several objectives – but one that he would achieve is ensuring one of the three targets would be on time for their meeting with death.

The boy is quiet, but he is highly focused towards the horizon – transforming into his full beast form – the Pteranodon. The boy took flight with a single flap of his wings. In just mere seconds, the large flying beast flew towards the incoming war with great speed. To those on the ship they would only observe Akira for only a short while before he would disappear into the horizons.

Spoiler

OOC: Kinda want to note that I spoke to Ichi, and I would be allowed to have Devil's Might as long as I bought it during the introductory phase of the event (essentially I will be able to get it once Valley of Peace is done, which should be done within the next 2 weeks, so in about 2 posts or so).

What is Justice?
Arabasta - Ichi's Group
@Ichimonji @Sea @Infinity​

Somewhere in an undisclosed location deep underground, where time was repeating itself as it included the very same people and setting as before. Somewhat similar to a private prison cell with a chair placed before the prison, shackles of the chain were heard as footsteps approached as someone would take a seat.

The lightbulb above would flicker then illuminate all below revealing the individual who took a seat was none other than the World Government, Commander-in-Chief, Kong.

[Kong] "We need to stop meeting like this"​

It was unusually quiet, refusing to speak, still holding resentment at the events that transpired at Delta Island.

A flashback of the events that concurred at Delta Island would flash before me, from seeing old foes Gidlarts and Ichiryu of the Dragon Pirates, then seeing old faces such as Gambit, having the Admiral attack despite he knew there would be casualties in my response when confronting Douglas Bullet and then me confronting Fujitora to wounding him.

[Kong]: " Link i know what you did most marines would wanna do, but you need to understand what Justice is. Many of us hold weight on our shoulders and we must do things we don't like, including even collateral damage as long as the mission is accomplished. For that reason i am here before you, that very Admiral you attacked has fallen now and we are down on strong soldiers. For that, i am setting you free, but i don't want the SLEEPING WEAPON but THE WANDERER! ... The one that first joined the Silver Hair's and then blew a storm of a trailblazer behind him when he was part of the Devil Pirates. "​

Hearing this i remained quite as Kong tossed a file at my direction then stood up and unchained one of the locks of the shackles as i grabbed hold of the file seeing bounties and actions that were taking place in the world.

​

[Kong]: " You'll see now that very friend of yours has placed our soldiers at risk with a public execution, we need you to help us get rid of another one of your past. "​

I'd chuckle at hearing this then gaze at Kong then speaking

" I'll go under a condition or two, one i want a pardon for no matter what i do, and the second being able to challenge any Admiral(s) whenever and wherever i want. "

For what was to come outside we will see but the outcome would be me donning my tunic, beige pants and a marine jacket that would flutter with my arms crossed in front of my ship as orders being yelled

Sovereign War #1​

The world was in turmoil. During the 169th's adventure in East Blue, three countries decided to challenge the World Government's absolute authority. After what happened on Delta Island, some insects chose to rally behind the Vampirates. With Kaido and Big Mom's death, they believed Gambit was the solution to break the Government's hold on the sea. The Vampirates were able to capture three officers of the Marine and planned to execute them. Among them were the Legendary Vice-Admiral Tsuru and the Hero of Rocky Port, Koby.

The world was in turmoil. The Marine had assembled it's strongest army. Thousands upon thousands of soldiers, from the ensign to the Chief Admiral. They were ready to crush the rebellion, all the high-ranking soldier had their missions put on hold. The war prevailed, the briefing at Marineford was concise. They had to prevent the executions by any means. The soldiers had different opinions on the incoming battle. Those under the Absolute Justice's flag were happy to be proven right. The Navy had been negligent with the pirate threat. If Fujitora had done his job correctly, he would be alive and there would be no war in sight. A failure here would destroy everything they worked for. Even if they won, the higher-ups would force Chief Sengoku to retire. Whispers were already traveling the base. They did not need any discourse between them, they needed to fight together...

The world was in turmoil and every story needed a hero and a villain. Our hero, the Festival Hero (The other was six-feet under) arrived from East Blue, bandaged from head to toe. He had succeeded in his last operation. They had no time to congratulate him, his peers were happy to see him. Like another hero, the Vice-Admiral hit first and asked questions later. The how didn't really matter, he accomplished what he was asked to. Shaarib Hassan was one of the soldiers deeply engrained in the Absolute Justice faction. He consistently killed every pirate he met, things changed recently and he mellow a little. Admiral in Chief Sengoku made him realize he needed more to become an Admiral. During the Festival, he helped the Marine flee Delta Island; he prioritized his peers over Bullet. What nobody said was that Shaarib was in partly guilty for all the shit happening.

The world was in turmoil and our hero wasn't brave enough to announce that he couldn't use his devil fruit powers anymore. Shaarib The Phoenix was no more. The VIce-Admiral faced the legendary Seiryuu and lost badly. He had been blessed by the dragon, he could feel it in his bones. He was sturdier, he could feel the world around him better, but still, woke up with no Devil Fruit ability. His injuries were barely healed when he arrived on the base. By the time he would be on Sovereign Island, he would be 100% back. Doubts clouded his mind, he got used to the healing ability he had. Now he would have to be more cautious. Shaarib climbed the ladder without a Devil Fruit. He just had to get some of his old groove back.

The world was in turmoil and Vice-Admiral Hassan, a mummy with red eyes, a Marine coat on his back, black pants and black boots landed on the West Front. His arrival was completely hidden by the smoke and sound from the cannon fire. He cracked his neck and stretched for a bit. The day was going to be long. He just hoped they would win the war.

- " Ma ma.. Fucking pirates... "

 

[Larsi]

Sovereign War #1
Dressrosa
@Gambit​

The powers of the world were converging, following the proclamation of Landayan Morrow, chief of the Silver Vampirates. His seat of power in the Calm Belt was about to be anything but calm, as tens of thousands of warriors and some of the biggest names on the seas gathered for what was to be one of the greatest battles ever seen. And Larsi was late.

The great force of ships under the flag of the Vampirates already had their sights on the fleet of Marine vessels as they approached in force. Commands were shouted on both sides as they prepared to join battle, yet the pirates were low on numbers comparatively. Silver Hair Larsi and the fleet he had led to Briss had not made it back in time. They were supposed to be here now! The captains of the different ships cursed under their breaths, but prepared to dig in for defense.

And then, mere moments before the two fleets were close enough to engage in battle a mirage to the south faltered, revealing four more ships and a submarine. Leading the charge, moving rapidly despite the still sea was the Silver Bullet. The second largest ship in the entire fleet of the Silver Vampirates, it seemed to move on its own accord, pulling with it the other four vessels. Standing at the prow of the great ship was an imposing figure, left hand resting on the railing and looking straight at the advancing fleet of marines. The silver hair that had given the namesake to the former iteration of their crew flew freely behind him, and he raised his right hand and pointed at the enemy. Fire.

A cascade of cannon-fire sounded as the Silver Bullet unleashed a barrage towards the marines, followed by the other four vessels firing their own cannons. Smoke and the smell of gunpowder filled the air, choking out the smell of salty sea water as metal flew across the surface to bear down on the invaders. Even as the marines shot back the cannonballs were directed mid air, faltering uselessly in the water around the ship. Even as they fired their cannons the new arrivals settled at the head of the pirate fleet, acting much like a shield to those behind.

Kaladin, Kelsier, Vin! Larsi called out, moving away from the front of the Silver bullet. The three he called for shouted out their recognition of his voice. You are one defense duty. Make sure their cannons will not sink a single one of our vessels!

The three pirates nodded, shooting off the deck towards other ships to split their attention, while Larsi turned his attention towards another man who stepped up. Dark hair laid over a purple coat, not a weapon visible. Zahel smiled towards Larsi, who kept the worried look on his face. I leave you in command, friend. I need to go, Gambit needs me.

Of course. We will hold them off. Zahel reached up to touch Larsi's arm, a dark energy passing from the former king to the giant. If he noticed, Larsi did not draw any attention towards the action. Instead he stopped in the center of the ship, pausing for a moment while drawing a deep breath.

Men and women of the Silver Vampirates! I leave this front in your care! Keep these dogs of the government out, let none of them past! His voice boomed across the waters, reaching each of the many ships cluttered, breaking through the sound of cannonfire. Bending his knees, the giant seemed to fly off the Silver Bullet, causing the ship to shift temporarily. As he flew through the air, several of the other ships he passed above rocked and moved, as if he used them as anchors to push off. Give them hell!

Having passed overhead of all the ships, Larsi finally crashed into solid ground, landing feet first. A loud crash sounded as he touched down, dirt blown outwards as if from an explosion. Climbing out of the hole he had created, Larsi stood for a moment and looked over the remnants of Dressrosa. His eyes fell on the colloseum, great and ancient in the near distance. As the arena it looked like, ancient and magnificent, Larsi figured it was a good place to start. He needed to find Gambit, to find out what had made him do something like this.

 

[Magimasterkarp]

It could really be considered a peaceful sight. A veritable flight of pouty cherubs, ready to spray, pour or spit (and in one case, pee) pearly water by the hectolitre, all carved out of a single block of marble in a masterful fashion that gave it a levity belying the heavy material.
But the impression of arresting beauty quickly fades once ones gaze wanders down a bit, to see the base of Dressrosa´s most impressive fountain covered in sandbags, both to protect it from incoming canon fire, and as a temporary fortification. A symbol for lost innocence.
Yasashí te Dō had to stop staring at it. He had already been distracted enough after he arrived in Dressrosa, and the war was looming. When he had found out about the plans the Revolutionary Army's top brass hatched with The Gambit, head of the Silver Vampirates, Yasashí had requested to be sent with the small unit supporting the newly emerging Sovereign Nation. He just had to see for himself what kind of justice this war would hold. He had tried to become a marine himself once, so the execution of three prominent marines didn´t sit right with him.
He had hoped to be able to quiz the higher ups in the supporting unit on why these marines deserved to die, but he had spent the entire boat ride from Baltigo being seasick in his cabin. When their ship made landfall, the last reinforcement to arrive before the marine fleet showed up on the horizon, he was glad to finally have solid ground under his feet again. As they were hurrying through town his mink ears heard a child cry out:
"Mama, what's gonna happen? Are bad men gonna come?"
His pointed ears swivelled on his head, pinpointing the direction the sounds came from, and he immediately separarted from the group, to secure these civilians. Somehow, a 6 foot tall black tiger mink coming right at them at immense speed didn´t seem to inspire much safety. Seeing this family cowering in fear of him and the impending war almost awakened Yasashí´s primal hunting instincts. But he got himself under control right away. He tried to look as nonthreatening as he could while he pointed out to them the shelter he had seen a little further down the road. He ignored the weird look the child gave him as he hurried away and across town again.
"Mama, I want a stuffed Tiger toy!"
Yasashí had just finished being stunned by the barricaded fountain he came across while trying to catch back up to the rest of the Revolutionary Army's delegation when all the public den den mushis across town spoke up simultaneously.

"In this grave hour, perhaps the most catastrophic in our history, I convey this message to all the members of our alliance, both at the terrestrial waters of the Sovereign and within."

"For centuries, the entire world has been under the Civil Society Triangle. A system that endlessly put a siege on our common folks. Yes, leaders are needed to establish a great nation but oppression and slavery, create havoc and bureaucratic manipulation of the threads that link the growth of society."

"For centuries, the World Government has been manipulating the history. A void whereby conceals the parchment of truth. And for centuries, many people have attempted to combat their organisation only to lose a number of times."

"Roger could not do it nor the band of brothers before him. Did they lack power? Resolve? or Time?"

"For me, it's the military power, alliance, and the common ground shared by different nations that was missing. And today, we successfully assembled that."

"This is the Sovereign Kingdoms, an alliance of nations bound by common interest to destroy the manipulative forces of our enemy in which they call themselves Gods!"

"There are NO GODS! For if there is one. Many people would have not perished and succumbed to the most brutal agony of our lives!"

"Sovereign! Vampirates! All 30 thousand of our combined forces!"

"For the nth time in our lives, we are at war! And like the wheel of fate, we have tested the depths of the waters and the height of all the mountains only to find peach and harmony. We could not achieve it without the conspiracy of the leaders before me. Those differences between us and our enemies must be put to an end."

"We have been forced into a conflict and pushed to wage this war. And war we bring upon them!"

"May the doctrine of our forefathers bear witness to how our resolve could usher a generation of new buds that would blossom across the evergreen mile of grass and flowers. May all the pledges of your kings bestow strength and willpower to prove to the world that our enemies could be toppled."

"And if this war would be futile, then all hopes would be crushed to nothingness. An eternal void lingering in our souls. So we fight! And strip the government of all their false guise!"

A great uproar made the entire Sovereign tremble. The ground beneath seemed to have rumbled in conjunction with the percussion of the plaza. Ships of the Vampirate Empire started to surround the bases and shortly came the enemies of the states. As they all approached from all sides of the siege, came bombardment through their respective warships. Gambit grinned and spread his arms wide open.

"MUAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"It has begun! Protect the entire Sovereign!"

"Let no man forget how menacing we are. We are the Vampirates! Build your own legacy. Let them remember your names. Make them immortal! Take it! IT'S YOURS!"

"DESTROY OUR ENEMIES! RETURN FIRE!!!"

A terrifying speech. Military might and success in war as the cornerstone of a new Sovereign State. It was as he thought. Yasashí had no time left to dilly dally. He made his way towards the direction of the Bridge of Resolution. It was too late to stop this war and the accompanying bloodshed, but he was hoping to be able to have a talk with the marines slated to be executed, and maybe even with Lord Gambit himself. He by his lonesome lacked the strength to tip the tides, but maybe he could convince the big players to take less violent paths, such that maybe at least the civilians could be safe.

Sovereign War #3
(Alabasta / Ichimonji's Group)
@Sea @Dream @Infinity​

The Sovereign War had begun. A pincer-like attack sandwiched the newly created island from both sides. East and West saw the most clash. The invading Marine ships let no doubt as to why they ruled the seas. The bombardment blanketed the bay to such a degree the air became thick with black smoke. One could not tell who was friend and who was foe. In the East, the Buster Call Warships overran the Vampire ocean fleet with sheer firepower. However, the ground assault was another story. The Vampire soldiers had stood the ground and not allowed the Marines to gain entry into the island. Many stories ended that day on the beach. Storming for a place in history, to tout out what they believed was justice.

Half-an-hour into the assault, the Marines made an unexpected move in order to break through the Vampirate lines. From the sky, hulking figures rained down, seemingly floating on air with specialized boots. Destruction followed as soon as they touched ground.

[Hina] "Hina surprised! Above us! Its the PACIFISTAS! Take the bay, men! Hina excited!"​

The sounds of Marines roaring from their ships echoed. From the sky, dozens of Pacifistas rained down, using specialized bubble boots. Explosions from lasers of light soon followed, tearing apart the Vampire line. The pacifists were so numerous, the officers of the Vampires called for the soldiers to regroup back at the Pathway of Fate, a large plaza that had two roads: one to Rainbase City and one to Alubarna City. The first real battle would be fought in that plaza. To take over the road to Rainbase City and Alubarna City was essential to allow the brunt of the Marine forces to advance. As such, specialized teams were sent out, allowing the rest to rain down mortar shells on the chaotic battlefield.

A few of the specialized teams for the Marines consisted of Cipher Pol agents, the Science Division, the Giant Squad, SWORD personnel, three stronger Pacifista-X models, and Rear Admirals. A few coats with Vice-Admirals could also be seen. Likewise, the Vampires had sent their specialized units, all clashing with the Marines at the plaza. This included Elite brawlers, Elite NBA players (as weird as that sounds), Elite Germa soldiers, Dark Wizards, and Dark Rooks. Our heros, or anti-heros, would have a plethora to engage.

From the sky, Akira had the best view. Yet, gunfire would soon rain up on him. Specifically, pacifists, with their auto-aim, would shoot lasers at the sky. Rockets with guided aim would follow the man to down him. The first stand would be at the plaza.

For a certain Lunarian, he would be ordered to double-back to the plaza and hold it. The first he enountered were fodder Marine, but the hulking specialized units, led by the Science Division, came next. Cipher Pol agents separated at the plaza, looking to establish a path to the roads. He'd have to be careful not to run into the highest ranking Marine seen so far, who was leading the charge, Link.

For our Sleeping Weapon, he would be leading the charge against the Vampirates into the plaza. He was the most decorated Marine, or highest, seen so far. His punishment was to carve the way. The first that stood in his way were Germa soldiers, many donning Raid Suits. He'd have to be careful not to run into the highest ranking Vampirate seen so far, Cletus Sol.

Sovereign War #2
(Alabasta)
@Ichimonji

The two fleets engaged in an intense exchange of heavy fire, polluting the air with a thick dark smoke that made it impossible to tell friend from foe. However, the warring seas was of no concern to Cletus. The lunarian dropped anchor on the shores of Alabasta, hopping over the railing of his personal boat, he landed on the sand with a soft thud. He took in the land, his hoodie blowing in the the desert wind as stood. After some time, he had finally caught sight of his fellow Vampirates. The ground troops had already began engaging with the enemy, standing their ground and not permitting the Marines any entry into the country. Cletus smirked to himself.

"As long as I'm here, this'll be a piece of cake."

30 Minutes Later....

Since his arrival Cletus had set up camp at the back of the Vampirate forces, and as he had promised, everything had run smoothly the entire time.

"Rain down bullets on that platoon coming in from the left! Tell the men at the back to reinforce the front lines! As for the injured, pull them out and tend to their injuries! Don't falter for even a second or our defense will fail! After all, the marine military isn't anything to laugh at!" The Lunarian barked orders left and right, ensuring the defensive line had no cracks. To the frustration of the marines, the Vampirates had successfully managed to hold them at bay for half and hour and they had had enough! They had thought it was about time for them to lead the dance! The Marine's voice echoed as they roared in contentment.

"Commander! What is that!?"A Vampirate questioned, voice dripping with fear and confusion. Cletus watched grimly as hulking figures floated in the sky, raining down onto the sandy lands before tearing apart front line with ease with their explosive laser weaponry. "Pacifista."
He hadn't seen one since they were under development years ago on Egghead. The end result he was witnessing today was more terrifying than he could ever imagine.

With their great numbers, they continued to plow through the Vampirate forces like nothing. Soon enough, the Vampirate officers called for a retreat to the Pathway of Fate, there they would regroup and form a better defense line there. It was there the first real battle would take place. The rest of the Vampirates would take the lead charge towards the plaza, while the Lunarian backed them from behind. There, Cletus encountered marine fodder who were fighting tooth and nail to push back the Vampirate forces.

"GET OUTTA MY WAY!!" Cletus roared angrily, punching every marine in sight. It wasn't long before he encountered the very demons that tore apart their forces before. Their hulking figures blocked the path into the plaza, he knew he had to deal with them now before they became a nuisance for his friends inside. "Their explosive power is too dangerous as a group! Time to split up the party!" The lunarian cocked back his right fist, black sparks spilled as he imbued it with Busohoku Haki. Then it happened. Cletus brought his fist forward, delivering a massively powerful punch that aimed to decimate the hulking figures in a single blow. His very first display of brand new might. A weighted shockwave of a punch.

"Raging Impact!"

Spoiler: Damage

Cletus' Base Punches=120: 5. Town Level

Raging Impact: The user imbues their fist with Busoshoku Haki before delivering a massively powerful punch with shockwaves that project forward.

DRESSROSA
@Larsi @Kaka @Emperor Cross @Magimasterkarp @Ichimonji

An old blue-grey parchment dances in the wind and underneath the mad rays of the sun and blue sky. It unveiled three interconnected isles. The map reads: Sovereign Island. The parchment zoomed in to the west and the letters materialised one after the other: Dressrosa. An unnamed pirate catches the map with his sword, cutting it into two. The pirate catapulted along with many others dressed like civilians with their variety of weapons in tow. They roared, "VAMPIRAAAAATES!"

As they run raising and swinging their weapons, an epic orchestra of grand collision music plays in the background, uplifting the spirits of the pirates. They continued to scream their hearts. "KILL THE ENEMIES!", they growled.

The music keeps on playing, gently fading whilst an old raspy voice narrates, "This world stands still. Endlessly brimming with riddles and invoking the danger. Crammed with thousands of isles, bestrewn across the oceans. It would never seize unless─"

"DARK KING RAYLEIGH"​

Ships of different trades sit their anchors across the coastal areas of the United West, another mouth voices, increasing his tempo. "And throughout these treacherous waters traverse those who brave the bestial waves. They live and are bound by their own accord. Living according to their own rules. How can one stop those who seek a life of freedom? How can one stop the unloosing of those who see a life of adventure?"

KING KALAKAB MORROW "The DARK ELF"
The biological father of Landayan Morrow​

Cannonballs rupture through the barrels of their ships. Trading fires until the entirety of the coast is obscured with smoke and gunpowder. A clamour of people from both sides erupted like those guns and drops of blood: those who bear the coat of justice against the men who adorned themselves like enemies of the Gods. The background music crescendoes once more, fueled by the percussion and trombones played by the knights of Camelot. Prince Landayan Morrow emerged, standing on the balcony of his empire with his arms wide open. His figure was shown on multiple screens spread across the Sovereign Isles. He roared!

"This is a World of Pirates!"

"VAMPIRATES!"​

"We are the strongest fleet that roamed the seas. Burn the witches to hell!", the mad blacksmith says. The Marines responded in kind. "RAAAAAAAAAH!"

The Navy breaks through the first line of defence and onward they would till the Vampirates hold their own ground. Led by their own will, 2,000 brave former Impel Down Convicts rallied the west, pulling the triggers of their guns against the skull of the ensigns they encountered. Gunfires and warcry ballooned at the near capital.

"The Navy surely brought their forces here. We are outnumbered significantly.", said the platoon leader of the Convict Troops, 1st Fleet Maritime Division.

"Say no more, idiots!", the platoon leader of the Armoured Division said as he stood on a wall separating the coastal area and the Colosseum. Enter the Kenzan Street Fighters.

2,000 street fighters muscled themselves against the enemy rally, breaking their spirits to advance to the Colosseum. "This is our territory!"

Guarding the Smile Factory, 2,000 Camelot Knights with their horses are on stand-by while 2,000 Mafia Goons addressed the uproar of the Marine Corps.

Approximately 30 minutes have passed since the invasion, and the Vampirates were able to decimate the ranks of the soldiers. They rejoiced and the Camelot Knights blew the trumpet and played the percussion. Until.

A loud series of thuds and booms overpowered the orchestra of the knights when a number of Pacifistas blew past their defences. "PACIFISTAS!", screamed the pirates.

"T-th that's─", the pirates choked and cowered in fear when a group of Pacifistas took the bay and started auto-casting their energy beams.

"SENTOMARU!", the marines triumphed.

​

"I still have the strongest defence. We would not allow these scums to annihilate our ranks.", he said as he held his dual axe on his left shoulder. His defences started to ram the pirates and decimated the line of Mafia Goons who held the wall of the Factory.

"This is your cue!"

The horses the knights carried neigh in fear and defied even their own masters. Injury after injury was suffered by most knights as their beasts stampeded against the enemy lines and of the Pacifistas. The latter would massacre the poor horses who bore the flags of Camelot Kingdom.

"MOVE OUT!"

​

"SUMMON THE MARRIONETTES!", gaped the squad leader of the armoured ladies. "Let those cyborgs deal with their own kind."

"Yes, Lady Lancie!"

Both parties returned fire. Barging each defence. Numbers from both sides keep on reducing as the marines try to edge into the plaza. Meanwhile, the situation already reached those who commanded the troops and began to fashion their own tactics to deal with the enemies.

"WE can't allow the Navy to break through the bridges.", a shiny golden figure said to his red reptilian companion. Indeed my twin brother. For once, let us kill and deal with these insects. My eyes ache every time I hear the crowd screaming.

@Kaka
Should General Burns choose to land at the Smile Factory perimeters, a familiar face would welcome him to the war. A man whom he met during the raid in Onigashima. If he chooses to land at the Colleseum area, a fated meeting with a former member of the World Government would face his ideals. Two former dogs of the Gods. A chance to unveil the curtain of mystery and legend.

@Emperor Cross
The world was in turmoil. The world was in turmoil. The world was in turmoil. The world was in turmoil. Perhaps, it's true that the world was in turmoil. At least a wise man once said. For the turmoil of the world continued to boil down the earth full of turmoil. Little did Vice Admiral Sharrib know, when he landed discreetly, that the marine fodders were ready to fall back until the arrival of the Pacifistas from all corners of Dressrosa, particularly this place - the colleseum. A certain soldier during his cower saw his huge silhouette and voice, "That expression!"

"IT'S THE HERO OF THE FESTIVAL!"

"The Vice is here!"

"The Vice is here!"

"The Vice is here!"

"VICE ADMIRAL SHARIB!!!", the Navy gloried.

Many pirates heard this jubilee and immediately they died laughing upon his arrival. They knew what he did last Festival.

"COWARD!!!"

"He ran from the fight!"

A certain officer of the Vampirates heard this as well and he tensed his jaw and swallowed. "The Hero of the Festival huh?"

Should Shaarib dart his eyes around, he should be able to gaze at a towering figure who landed at the same time as his. Enter the Big Eye.

@Larsi
Having his feet landed at the Colosseum, the possibility of meeting a Vice Admiral or two is pretty high. One from his past encounter and one who only ever dreamed of bruising his big mad eye.

The pirates could not believe what they saw. "Is that─"

"HE made it!"

"HE made it!"

The Impel Down escapees that he dragged from that prison, bloodied but still kicking all triumph the moment they saw the hulking Captain who founded the crew. "BOSS LARSI!"

"WE GOT THE KEYS FROM THE FACTORY. WE HEARD THAT THERE ARE GOLDS IN THERE."

"Idiots!", one Kenzan Fighter yelled after hearing them. "This is our own territory. We ain't looting nothing here."

"Captain! We must report your arrival to the Chief."

@Magimasterkarp
Meanwhile, amidst the fated war, a lone young tiger mink strode in the direction of the Bridge of Resolution. The young mink has a special pass or access to the island courtesy of his allegiance. Nonetheless, whatever his objectives would be, he needed to encounter the toughest line-up to hinder his mission. Whatever it costs.

Standing out of the crowd, several members of the Vampirates noticed his attempt to enter the bridge. "You!", said a member of the 1st Fleet of the Vampirates dressed like a prisoner.

"What do you think you're doing?", he continued, not presuming any speculation about which side Yasashi was part of. "This is a restricted area. You cannot pass!"

Another convict approached the mink misjudged to be a mere civilian. "What do we have here? A cute cat!"

However, as they converse, they are interrupted by the sudden arrival of the Pacifistas. In order to gain the trust of the Vampirates Fleet, the young revolutionary has to make a decision: fight the marines or slither through the Vampirates' defence.

Another figure appeared just several metres from his location, directing the low-ranking marines to breach the defence that led to the bridge. "Take advantage of the Pacifistas offence!"

Finally, the man behind that mysterious voice was revealed. A stunning bravado and a hulking physique, Vice Admiral Lacroix.

"This is the same crew that killed many of our men back in Raijin. Avenge our fallen comrades!"

 

[Kaka]

The war had begun, marked by the cannonfire. Explosions started to rumble off in all directions, and it looked like outright mayhem right off the bat. It was to be expected - after all, it was a fortress style war, where the invading forces had to start off with an all out push, if they aimed to break through the defensive fortress and land ashore. Leo would go alone, taking advantage of the chaos. Stationing his six legendary warships relatively far out at sea and keeping them there, Leo walked up to the edge of the warship that he was on, named Ichiban. Each and every one of his steps was hard and heavy, the sound of metal clanking against wooden deck.

Bwahaha! There he goes, this is gonna be good. We're getting a front row seat to this spectacle of a war!

Damn what a man. Makes me fucking hot.

Tetsuya commented, clearly having the hots for Leo's ruggedness. He jumped off of the edge of the ship and landed on a fast personal boat stationed just in front of the warship. When Leo landed on the fast personal boat, he almost pushed it into the water - the weight of his landing quite astronomical. But, the vessel withstood it and bounced back to the surface. Leo kicked a lever and the fast personal boat took off, moving at fast speeds toward the shore. Right as Leo took off, eight flying drones took off right after him, flying through the air and quickly catching up to Leo. If things went uninterrupted, Leo would ultimately arrive ashore, jumping off of the boat and landing on solid ground.

The eight drones were flying close to him and Leo looked around. If still uninterrupted, he would walk inland, making his way toward the colosseum area.

 

[Larsi]

Sovereign War #2
Dressrosa
@Gambit @Emperor Cross​

Larsi landed atop the high walls of the coliseum, his feet breaking stone as he settled down, steadying himself against one of the higher stone walls next to him. The structure was crowded, filled with both pirates and marines, the fact that it hadn't come to blows yet was surprising. Well, it was about to change. Proceeding forwards he dropped off the edge and fell to the top level of the visitor stands. A loud crash sounded as his feet hit the surface, breaking the stone even more, threatening to fall through but just barely holding.

"Is that─"

"HE made it!"

"HE made it!"

The Impel Down escapees that he dragged from that prison, bloodied but still kicking all triumph the moment they saw the hulking Captain who founded the crew. "BOSS LARSI!"

"WE GOT THE KEYS FROM THE FACTORY. WE HEARD THAT THERE ARE GOLDS IN THERE."

Larsi turned his attention towards the former prisoners, seeing the keys dangling in the air. Then, as if thrown by the man, the keys would fly through the air and land in the giant's hands. Securely tucking them inside his coat, he nodded to them. If anyone wanted to easily get inside the factory, they would need to go through him.

The other source of disturbance drew Larsi's attention, and not much to his surprise he saw that the marines were gathered around a man of higher rank. Vice Admiral it seemed like. He heard a name called out, Shaarib. The name sounded vaguely familiar, he remembered having read the name in some news article at one point. A hunter of small fries and ruthless killer. Yet he also could have sworn having read that the man had a grudge against Larsi himself for some reason. His eyes narrowed, looking at the man from a distance, though he was momentarily interrupted by one of the pirates.

"Captain! We must report your arrival to the Chief."

You will also tell the chief he is to contact me immediately, I have questions he must answer. Larsi said, then seemed to shoot of the ground like a projectile fired from a ballista through the air towards the group of marines. Crashing into the ground a short distance away from the enemy, his weight sent shockwaves through the stone floor, throwing up chips and creating a small crater beneath his feet. His legs crouched to break the fall, the giant rose to his full height to tower above the soldiers. In both hands he held a jutte nearly as tall as his body, around each of his wrists were wrapped long chains.

You marines are not welcome here! Larsi said, speaking to all of them though his eyes locked onto Shaarib.

"He ran from the fight!"

Shaarib stopped walking, he had made a rookie mistake. What he assumed to be a deserted area was full of world government soldiers and pirates. Even though he was covered in bandages, his voice and mannerisms caught up to him. They revealed his identity and the soldiers began cheering. The Hero of the Festival was present and they trusted him to do want ? Erase all the pirates ? Teleport to Koby and the others ? He had wanted to be lowkey, to observe things and walk to the Coliseum without a hitch. He was in the limelight and he wasn't alone. A man he had looked for arrived at the same time as he, Silver Hair. The original captain of Gambit. Shaarib had wanted to capture the man but they were defeated by another pirate.

The Vice-Admiral winced when he realized who it was, what was he doing here instead of the main castle ? Wasn't he one of Gambit's close friends ? They arrived together so maybe he could consider the giant as an independent group.

Larsi said, then seemed to shoot of the ground like a projectile fired from a ballista through the air towards the group of marines.

The giant interrupted our hero train of thought by jumping and crashing into the ground just meters away from them. That asshole knowing full well what it would cause. The Vice-Admiral held up his hands, invisible haki already covering them, he emitted a blast to shield the soldiers behind him from the shockwaves. Larsi wanted to serve as warden. If SHaarib had been alone he would've tried to find another way. A damn shame, he couldn't transform into a bird anymore. But now he had parasites he needed to protect. He had hoped to meet and repay the supernovaes but who was he to refuse a brawl ? One with a bounty superior to a billion at that.

- " First thing first do not disrespect me, I am Justice itself ! "yelled the Vice-Admiral with a childish voice, he smiled before speaking again " I need to save Koby and them before leaving, with an arm that big, you can throw me to the execution platform right ?"

Sovereign War – Alabasta #2
@Ichimonji @Infinity @Dream

​

The boy took flight, being of a powerful flier allows him to quickly cross the seas with very little effort. It would not take long before the sounds of battle would ring across the seas, sounding the start of a large-scale battle. Smoke and fire stoke the island as well as the seas as artilleries and cannon fires rages across the horizon. Gliding above the Frankenstein of an island, each side of different island agriculture, architecture and the like. Akira recognises some of them – though most specifically Dressrosa which was once under the control of Spada Pirates, only to be eventually given away to the Vampirates in exchange of full control over Wano Kuni, the remaining half of Onigashima in particular. Regardless of it, the closest ‘island’ to Akira is Alabasta, only known by Akira to be a desert country. However, as he approaches inland, just past the Alabasta defense line with a fleet of Vampirate ships exchanging fires with the Marines – lasers and bullets quickly made their way up into the skies, prompting the Zoan user to quickly swerve. The bullets aren’t a problem as Akira took height, eventually gravity and drop off would quite literally prevent any from reaching him.

However, the Pacifista lasers and the guided rockets are another different thing, though given the distance – the boy is more than capable of dodging the lasers and swatting away the rockets with ease. At one point upon the shores of Alabasta a line of defense was quickly broken by the Marines. A small break in the defense line that allowed the Marines to slowly break into the city itself. The fight would take place just beyond the shores into the plaza where a large-scale battle between both sides for control over the town. The fight inland originally was Vampirates favoured, after all they are the defenders and as such held better advantage against the World Government. However, with the appearance of Pacifista, the fight has started to slow down into a crawl. Something has to change.

Descending down towards the plaza, Akira landed just a distance away from the main section of the battle of about 500-600 metres away – dodging whenever he is being shot at. As Akira landed, off a roof on a tall-like tower smoke would arise from the impact of the Pteranodon’s landing. Yet within the smoke, Akira reverted from his Beast Form as a canister taken almost immediately off from his pouch into his hand begins to unravel, like a gel swirling around Akira as it quickly forms into a Raid Suit – one made of black armour, deathly in appearance. The smoke surrounding Akira starts to transform into jet black as black-like smoke emits limitless from the armour. Upon the formation of the raid suit, the boy immediately press a couple of buttons on the raid suit as it undergoes minor changes, such as the retraction of several suit parts as Akira transforms into his True Hybrid form, wing webbings and claws forms fittingly with parts of the suit retracted.

​

Wielding Twilight’s Edge – the boy stared down the battlefield. It is time to tilt the scales for one side. Without wasting too much time, the boy suddenly swung Twilight’s Edge horizontally left to right and vice versa, creating two air blades. Large and powerful – they would aim not at either side of the war, well not directly anyway. Instead the two air blades would attempt to made their way behind the Vampirates, which thanks to where Akira stood towards the side from the battle, allowed him to likely take the Vampirates even by surprise given the chaos and confusion they find themselves in. With the air blades, they would likely hit the buildings behind them if not guarded and given the skills that Akira possessed, they would most likely destroy such buildings and cause them to collapse – with the Vampirates holding within the plaza, these collapsing buildings would serve to break their formation, giving the Marines the much needed help to push down against the Vampirates.

Spoiler

Name: Crescent Moon
Rank: C
Description: The user can generate an air blade with a swing of the sword. (31 Shuurin, 31 Strength)

Akira's DPR: 6. City Level (121+, Zoans only) + A: + 3 (Sword Rank) = 9. Small Country Level

Such attack serves a much greater purpose, Akira needed the marines to funnel themselves deeper into the city. But not too fast of course, for the Agent of Death and Chaos has now began to attempt control of the flow of the battle in Alabasta for time being.

It is an introduction. While the identity of the Akira isn’t known in regards to his own face. Both the World Government and the Vampirates themselves would recognize the raid suit in which Akira donned.

@Ichimonji @Infinity @Sea​

Spoiler: Flashback

[Kong]: " Seeing as you still are after an Admiral position, you haven't changed prior to the events of Delta Island. Do you still yearn to be Admiral? "​

Hearing this I'd remain mute still remaining disoriented and conflicted at the entire ordeal. However, i wouldn't remain in that state for that long then raise my head and then speak back.

" Of course, though i do realise i am not a favorite or a candidate with the likes of Shaarib, Sasaki, Kallavan, and Aramaki ahead of me. Though i ain't gonna lose to them. "

Kong hearing this would give off a faint smile then rise to his feet then approach me and release me from the cuffs as i'd smile, however, remain to keep the cuffs around my wrists.

" I'll keep these as a souvenir to remind me not to return back like this "

[Kong]: " I hope so, though if you'd like to be promoted to an Admiral, show us that you can strike another face from your past. Though right now, I've got a ship and soldiers ready for you and are ready to depart. "​

[Kong]: " Also before you leave, we've studied your former crewmate's actions and he's used his Devil Fruit. So we have a specific destination for you to go in specific. The area that is familiar to you, Arabasta "​

With the ship making full haste to its destination, i remained stood right at the forefront of the ship fully focused yet still conflicted yet nostalgic of not just the area but feeling used. I wondered why was it that whenever a past of mine would show up, i'd be sealed before anything and then set loose to confront that very past. Though my goal of being an Admiral was far greater than my confliction at this point which would like a tide wash away any conflict that I'd have on my mind.

It wasn't long before the sight of Arabasta would befall me, like a grand entrance as explosions would stench and coat the entire area.

" why is whenever something happens it's always a bad memory or pirates behind it? " ... speaking out load but not enough for any of the lower ranking marines to hear as they'd stop and gawk at what they were seeing for a second.

" Get back to work, what you gawking for. Your marines aren't you!? " ... immediately disciplining them for their lapse of focus.

A lower-ranking marine would come directly before me saluting then inform me that the pacifista's have broken past enemy lines and have begun their next act of thinning the lines. Hearing this i'd dismiss him with an action of the hand then turn my focus back to the main event, i'd reach into my pocket to pull out a little green ball and then allow it to drop to the floor. A large flower, lettuce-like would blossom that was double layered with a bubble that would form in the circle, feeling it the bubbly feeling under my feet as it sent me flying in the direction of the enemy lines.

" Midori Boshi: Trampolia "

Spoiler

Midori Boshi: Trampolia (緑星・トランポリア , "Green Star: Trampolia"): The user throws a Pop Green on the ground that launches anyone who gets close to it up into the air. It is shaped like a big flower with a bubble at the center. (31 Mastery)

Nothing right now beats making a grand entrance as i land in enemy lines and familiar terrain of Arabasta, creating a small crater. With my raised up i'd spot Germa 66 soldiers all around with the terrain rocking with the Pacifistas performing their duties from one location. Grinning at the thought of releasing some stress would be now.

" Now now, will it one at a time or all of you at once? "

My eyes would glimmer and glisten in red, keeping in mind the whereabouts of the germa soldiers that surrounded me as I let out a burst of aura specifically targeting them.

Sovereign War #4
(Alabasta / Ichimonji's Group)
@Sea @Dream @Infinity ​

The Pathway of Fate, a large plaza that had two roads: one to Rainbase City and one to Alubarna City. The first real battle would be fought in that plaza. Specialized Marine and Vampire forces converged on the locations, spreading to the area. The fighting had intensified, bringing in some elite troops in the advancement, both pirate and Marine alike. The spearheads of both the Marines, led by Vice-Admiral Link, and the Vampirates, led by Cletus Sol, begun their assault. The third party wildcard, the one who killed La Spada, swooped down from below.

And so the game was set.

Cletus D. Sol was the first to make a move, staring down some of the Pacifists that had broken through the Vampirate's line of defense. Three stood in his way, led by a specialized man in a white coat, this one not of an officer. The roaring young man burned with passion, hurling forth a punch that silenced the whole battleground, for it shook the whole plaza. The shockwave literally cut two of the three pacifists in half, hurling their bodies to the distance. The third, narrowly avoiding a direct hit, was pushed back, slow to get up. The Vampirates roared at their officer's offense. However, it made the young man a target. The Vampire made his attack in full view of vice-admiral Link, stepping into the battlefield.

Vice-Admiral Link landed next to the third pacifists, surrounded by Germa soldiers, at least two dozen. The Weapon, sleeping or awake focused his eyes, glowing with that Demon red. Suddenly, a burst of haki fluttered the airwaves. Not as flashy as Cletus, but just as effective. All two dozen Germa soldiers saw their eyes roll back, falling unconscious like logs. This allowed the first Marine contingency to file in. The Pacifists, now finally getting up next to Link, would target Cletus. The Vice-Admiral jumped into the fray, and found himself right in the thick.

Yet, neither of them was the one who broke the fight in one's favor.

[Vampirate #1] "Watch out! The buildings are collapsing! Who did that?!"​

​

[Vampirate #2] "OUR FOMATION BROKE! THE ROADS ARE CLEAR! DOUBLE BACK!!!!"​

The Shadow, evading the oncoming fire from lasers and guns alike, appeared like a thief in the night. While the bulk fought each other, the Shadow decided to go after the structures. Airblades that once clash against Miahwk's own in Kuragaina Island sliced through air, cutting the buildings surrounding the plaza into pieces. The collapse of these buildings, not only caused uproar for both Marine and Vampire alike, but they exposed the Vampirate's formation, holding the plaza through fire from the buildings, like towers. This left the road open, found behind the buildings. Where once was a tactical battle, became a rush. Vampirates struggle to double back to the roads to hold them. The Marines sought to use this opportunity to take the roads. It was chaos - everywhere one looked fighting came.

Link and Cletus both had their sides. Would they engage the swordman who caused the tip, Akira the Shadow? Would they engage each other? One thing was certain, everyone wanted a piece of the action now that the roads were exposed.

[Cipher Pol Agent] "I-I-I-It's Capone Bege from the Firetank Pirates! He has a bounty of over $350,000,000! One of the Worst Generation!"​

​

Appearing in the battle-filled path leading to the road to Rainbase, a short man with black attire and black hat appeared, the smoke billowing from his cigar. The man was surrounded by Vampire Dark Rooks, by the dozens, each holding guns and cannons. Some Cipher Pol agents surrounded him, disguised as Vampirates. The man seemed lost. Suddenly, firepower enough to rival a warship shot out all around him, putting down Vampire and Marine alike - there was no differentiating. The camera zoomed in, showing the mafia-boss with a grin, his golden tooth shining. Behind him, newly escaped from Wano after Big Mom's fall, the 22nd daughter of the Ex-Yonko, Charlotte Chiffon, covered the captain's rear. A spitting image of her mother. A grisly family affair.

A guess on whose side Bege was on. Capone Bege was conquering the area to the road to Rainbase City.

[Capone Bege] "In terms of military power, you're all at a disadvantage."​

​

Appearing at the battle-filled path leading to the road to Alubarna City, a pink-haired gorgeous woman gained control. Sporting asporty shades, a tight red dress, and a Marine officer coat hung around her shoulders, Rear Admiral Hina appeared. Vampire NBA players had decimated the Marine troops trying to take the road. However, they now faced the Rear Admiral. The taller warriors all but surrounded her. Suddenly, the woman moved at blinding speeds. Chains appeared on their bodies, pinning the into the ground as Hina phased through them. The strength and beauty did not disappoint. Even the ground became binds, pushing the Vampirates back and creating a path. Behind her, a white pacifists, never before seen, watched her back. PX-Z.

[Rear Admiral Hina] "Hina disappointed. Who's next?"​

Read Admiral Hina was conquering the area to the road to Alubarna City.

​

 

[Magimasterkarp]

A roadblock. Of course. This place was at war. He'd been stopped by a group of pirates, dressed in prison garb. These must be ex convicts, escaped from impel down, violent criminals once again roaming the world. And now they were in his way. Truly inconvenient existences.

"What do we have here? A cute cat!"

Tehe, maybe they weren't that bad. But Yasashí still had to get past them. He had hoped to get access to the castle as a member of the Revolutionary Army, which had been supporting the war effort from the shadows, but he wasn´t sure if these guards knew about that.
"I am Yasashí te Dō, part of an envoy from the Revolutionary Army. I would like to enter the main Castle to interrogate the prisoners for possible intel and serve in advisory function to Lord Gambit. Although... Anybody could claim to be from the Revolutionary Army..."
He began patting the pockets of his green robes.
"I don´t really have anything to prove I am who I say I am. Would be kinda bad if us Army members could be easily identified."
...
"Should I have just kept quiet about that part?"
...
"Oh wait, there was that bounty poster of me... Which I don´t have.."
It was almost a relief when the attack of the Pacifista cut the awkward conversation short. Emboldened by their reinforcements marines began moving towards the bridge towards. They were being commanded by a giant! His heavy footsteps could be felt where Yasashí was standing like miniature earthquakes and his booming voice pushed his soldiers forward.
"What a bind, the middle of a battlefield, not much I can do here. But these guys called me a cute cat, I can at least protect them a bit even though they are dangerous criminals. Maybe slow both sides down a bit." Yasashí's thoughts burbled free without care who would hear them. A bit louder he continued:
"You guys better fall back further up the bridge, away from the town. I have an idea."
He would turn his back to the guards, facing the marines. He´d back up until he´d be able to feel the incline of the bridge under his bare feet, and raise both hands above his head.
"Marines! If you don´t want to get hurt, stop now!"
His shout, while loud compared to his normal speaking voice,´would echo somewhat feebly around the area, especially compared to the natural timbre and volume a giants chest can produce.
Still, hopeful that the marines would heed his warning and not get hurt too badly, Yasashí would bring both his arms down onto the ground as if trying to pull the heavens down to earth. After an almost imperceptible delay, a shockwave would erupt from his position, tearing up the flagstones around the opening of, and a bit up the bridge.

Hesitating Fist: Fibrous Root

(61 SoftPaw Style Mastery, 61 Musicianship, 61 Strength)
An extra powerful strike on the ground, executed with both hands in a similar way to the Ballochory. Creates a weak AoE effect (DPR B), and messes up the floor on the battlefield, making it harder to move on it, unless you can use the Softstep ability.

"Giant-San, if your soldiers were to march over this terrain, they´ll break their ankles and be sitting ducks for the pirates' rifles. You best seek your glory elsewhere if you care for their lives!"
He´d shout, hoping to deter the Vice Admiral from charging his men towards the bridge guards.

Sovereign War #3
@Ichimonji @Dream @Infinity ​

The boy’s attack went unhindered, likely due to his sudden surprise off from a distance away from fight happening in the plaza. With the attack striking at the buildings, it would cause the collapse of the structures down onto the Vampirates – breaking their defense line that would allow the World Government to further push into island. From there, nothing else seems to be needed to tilt the scales, no sense weakening the defense further. The slow but inevitable push from the Marines would cause more casualties than Akira weakening the Vampirates further. Now is not the time yet for Akira to dive straight into the heat of battle.

As the battle continues, the road opened up for the marines fairly quickly thanks to Akira’s intervention. Here the boy would notice that the roads were split from the plaza. One side, the marines seems to have headed towards the road that would eventually lead them out of the plaza and towards a city, the other – Capone Bege whom seem to have taken a similar stance to Akira, having picking no side, taking out both marines and pirates alike. The boy thought for a moment as he watched uninterrupted. This is where the fight would more than likely split into two points in both cities. It would also be deep enough for the marines to find escape very unlikely. Despite this would seem more of a disadvantage for the Vampirates, a split offensive and the further they are away from the shores, the easier is it for Vampirates to cut them off.

But no matter, there is no reason to follow Bege for now, whom seem to be doing Akira’s job for him. This means that Alubarna became Akira’s decision, it would seem like a powerful Marine force is headed for Alubarna, a perfect chance to weaken both sides. Sheathing Twilight’s Edge onto a holster, Akira’s arms transform into a large bat-like wings as he undergoes transformation from his True Hybrid Form into the original Hybrid Form that King is known for. Unlike the marines, he has flight, thus he is less affected by the battle upon the roads which is more than likely where the attention of everyone would be. Akira would fly straight to Alubarna, there he would first aim to weaken the defense of the Vampirates to further lure the Marines in, and from there – both sides would come to face upon the power of the Grim Reaper herself and her crew.

@Magimasterkarp
"Yasashí te Dō, part of an envoy from the Revolutionary Army!", the Tiger Mink proclaimed. "He's an ally!", dozens of Vampirates ex-cons validated.

"BUT... Th- that's beyond our call, my cutie. That's all the way up.", another pirate expressed concern.

"And besides, your commanders.", the pirate's face became serious as he paused briefly before resuming his statement, "They are already here to speak on your organisation's behalf."

Suddenly, their conversation was cut by a large sum of marines led by a hulking figure, "Push!", Vice-admiral Lacroix screamed.

"Raaaaaaaaaargh!", cried out the ensigns as they tried to muscle their way into the surrounding alleys of the Colosseum that connects to the bridge that connects to the main island.

Dozens of uninjured ex-cons from the 1st Fleet went over the front, reporting an incident from the nearby block, "Silver Hair has arrived! Don't panic! The big boss is here."

"Got it!", they bravely answered grinning with happiness and relief.

"You Tiger!", said the man he conversed with a while ago. Why don't you help us here at the moment?

As early as he requested that to the Revo, he roared, "Marines! If you don´t want to get hurt, stop now!"

"Let's see what we got here", the same pirate murmured only to be wildly shocked after seeing what the mink had done to the road. The white of his eyes seemed to have separated from the pupils as he kept gazing with the strange ability.

The mink's voice boomed across the battleground and every pirate in attendance bore witness to the incredible ability! "The ground unloose a shockwave?! How did he do that?!"

"He was just a cute pet a while ago." The man cried while the others rejoiced. Their eyes beamed as they raised their arms, clapping. "Tiger! Tiger! Tiger! Tiger!"

The other man voiced himself out, "Easy on the bridge!"

"Don't worry you, idiot! We all got the raid suits!", The other contested.

"Giant-San, if your soldiers were to march over this terrain, they'd break their ankles and be sitting ducks for the pirates' rifles. You best seek your glory elsewhere if you care for their lives!"

The mink finally addressed the Hulk as his comrades submitted themselves into the almost ravine the mink created out of his palm pound.

"I wasn't aware that even a mink has finally decided to join forces with a bunch of goons!", Lacroix voiced out his anger after injuring many of his men from the fall.

"That's Vice Admiral Lacroix of the Navy. He's a big one."

"Can Tiger beat that one?"

Those are the whispers ringing in the field. "We'll back you up!", said most of them.

Lacroix would order still a bunch of marines that survived the ground mine to push forward and deal with the ex-cons while he himself addressed the mink. "Why don't we see what you really got?", he said to the mink before he kicked the ground multiple times and vanished in front of the Revo only to re-emerge behind him with his fist outstretched on his right, aiming the entire body of the Tiger for a downward punch coated in Haki.

"Behind you!", screamed the ex-con.

"Too late!", Lacroix declared.

"JUGON!"

@Kaka

"You cannot defeat him. Even with your combined efforts, my little brothers.", a voice said coming from the den-den mushi that is blue in colour with black fur on the snail's surface.

Arthur answered, "We will try our best to prevent him from entering the plaza."

The other Atlantian concurred, "If we die here, I don't want to be buried alongside this man called Arthur.", he turned to Arthur and spat, "Barbarian!"

"Enough!", the man shouted and finally revealed himself. Enter Prince Namor of Atlantia.

"Prove yourself to be my blood and stop him from getting here. I will back you up.", he attested before hanging up.

Meanwhile, Leo finally had his feet entered the shorelines. It was at the same time the Marionettes were battling the Pacifistas and Sentomaru. Leo would probably have a sight of the guy controlling the clones of a Kuma since they are about the block. Having been made of machines, the battle between the robots from both sides kept going on and on.

"Ship Guardians!", Prince Ohm called one of them. "We are heading to your locations. Deal with Leo Burns, you know his profile before we arrive there."

"Roger!", the marionette answered happily.

After that, 10 out of 20 marionettes left the Pacifista units and flew their way towards the location of Leo. Appearing before the way of the former Vice-admiral, they all pointed their respective weapons against the lone powerhouse.

"Good morning, sir! I hope you're doing well." Luna, the lady from the most left greeted Leo, smiling. "We were ordered to stop you from going to the plaza. Sorry for that. Hehe!"

"Ladies!"

"Yes!"

"Attack! All at once!"

"Yes!"

Suddenly, their weapons became barrel-like iron, radiating as deafening sound resonated from it. Like a whirring machine, it went on with the noise. And as they all reached the needed energy to launch the attack, they all roared together! Their attacks were all clad with Haki.

"BLUE NOISE CANNON!"

The Block between the Colosseum and the SMILE Factory
@Larsi @Emperor Cross

In the midst of the heated battle between the front liners of the Vampirates and the Marines, the founding captain of the Silver Hair Pirates emerged. The goons that he gathered inadvertently from Impel Down rejoiced after seeing him and handed them the keys to the Factory which is just nearby. For Larsi, it could have been just a dozen of steps. He commanded the goons to contact the man who connived with the Revos to execute the hostages as he had questions that needed answering. "Roger, Boss!"

Shortly, through his acrobatic landing the sheer force of his descent sent a couple of dozen pirates away from the scene. Some of them were saved by the other figure staring not from afar.

You will also tell the chief he is to contact me immediately, I have questions he must answer. Larsi said, then seemed to shoot off the ground like a projectile fired from a ballista through the air towards the group of marines. Crashing into the ground a short distance away from the enemy, his weight sent shockwaves through the stone floor, throwing up chips and creating a small crater beneath his feet. His legs crouched to break the fall, the giant rose to his full height to tower above the soldiers. In both hands, he held a jutte nearly as tall as his body, around each of his wrists were wrapped long chains.

Larsi announced to the Navy that they are unwelcomed here but who are we to blame? Those are their comrades getting executed. The Vice admiral's resolve was absolute at that point in time. After that, Vice-admiral Shaarib declared his intention to save his comrades but to do that, he has to get through the colossal Larsi, the man who escaped all by himself from Impel Down and just recently invaded using his military genius all of Briss Kingdoms ─ now united under his name. The low-ranking marines cowered in fear after seeing him.

"He─ he's the one who took down the fearsome kingdoms of Briss Island!"

"Th- That's!"

"SILVER HAIR LARSI!"

The rest of the Vampirates rallied behind him as if telling them to unloose their bravados.

Suddenly, two figures also arrived at the scene, stopping the triumph of those who cheered for Larsi. "That man is dangerous as well.", Frieza said, pertaining to Shaarib.

"Indeed.", agreed Janemba, Frieza's twin brother. "Never underestimate your opponent."

"All of you!", Frieza addressed the low-ranking Vampirates. Get your ass off here. I am afraid you'd all die if you stay near between these two. The pirates agreed. The ex-con Larsi spoke with earlier started contacting the base. "A word with the Chief. Boss Larsi is here."

"Copy that.", the receptionist said.

[The Sovereign War] - [Post #3]
@Ichimonji @Sea @Infinity​

The exertion of my willpower was enough to get the germa 66 soldier's eyes to roll back and fall unconscious like logs. The marines that were situated around were shocked and then shook themselves as they roared knowing full well they broke past the first line of defense of the Vampirates. Despite the marine soldiers roaring in excitement, knowing full well that this was just nothing but an early win the real monsters were just creeping behind the shadows.

This was war after all.

Gust that would be followed by dust would blow in my direction from the nearby battle. The head of a pacifista would hurl then roll right before my feet with static electricity reverberating that the war machine was blown to smithereens but someone with immense or destructive power.

Scoffing as i was disappointed at the sight of the head of a pacifista, then raised my leg above the pacifista then stamped my foot down, and destroyed the pacifista's head.

" There was no saving you "

I turned my attention in the direction where the head of the pacifista rolled from, though from another direction dust would travel towards me as the ground shook after the "shadow" had structures collapsed to the sandy terrain.

The sound of the sand being trampled from behind as a pacifista would walk then lean forward revealing it's lock on feature. Then reveal the name of the individual responsible and state the name, alias, and bounty in an electronic speech.

[Pacifista]: " Cletus D. Sol, the Son of Science. Bounty: 365,000,000 "​

I'd raise my right hand to signify calling over a marine, who'd run to my right.

" Do we have any reports of what's happening to the other sides yet? "

The marine saluted and then stated that Vice-Admiral Shaarib Hassan was assigned to the other side and a ship that belonged to a one named Leonard Burns, who was once hailed as the hero of the marines.

Hearing the name Leonard Burns, it piqued my interest but for what reasons they won't be known until much later.

" Thanks and you're dismissed "

Then I took my time to inhale deeply before yelling.

" All marines halt, I'd like a little chat with this one "

A very unusual order, but right now i wanted answers and who best to ask that one who serves under my former crewmate.

" Cletus was it? ... before we end up throwing punches at one another. I want some answers "

@Ichimonji @Sea @Dream

Post Azure City....
His eyes finally opened. The Lunarian was groggy and disoriented, having been unconscious and dancing near deaths door for days now. Bandaged and in pain, he leaned forward and looked around, slowly taking in his surroundings as his sight returned to him. The lunarian was in the Armageddon Med Bay, last he remembered he was locked in battle with Leviathan Pirates.

"So you're finally awake! You almost had us there. KG thought you wouldn't pull through."Cletus' eyes widened in surprise. He looked around wildly, following the sound of the voice until his view locked onto a familiar face. It was none other than Desert Rebel Koza, laying in a patient bed not too far from his left. With a warm smile, Koza continued. "With Manaka and Gambit's guidance, we had to perform a last minute operation. I guess with this, I've finally returned the favor for saving me back in Sunspear."

"What happened? To tell you the truth, I thought I was a goner."The Lunarian said holding his head. Something about him felt different, but he couldn't put exactly place what it was.

"Your injuries were...extensive, and you lost a lot of blood. We had managed to stabilize you for a while. At one point you were even awake, undergoing psychiatric tests. However, two days ago your conditioned worsened. Manaka explained to us that your lineage factor was collapsing on itself. Whatever was done to you, wasn't a perfect process. As a result, your biological blueprint had been deteriorating for years without you knowing." Koza paused, allowing Cletus to take in his words. And took them in he did, the Lunarian was in disbelief. "There were massive traces of Humandrill DNA eating away at the Lunarian portion of your linenage factor. Manaka explained that the signs would've been subtle. Uncontrollable fits of aggression, hallucinations, changes in appearance like your tail etc. You had kept speaking to yourself, mentioning somebody named Vidarr. That stopped once we gave you antipsychotic medicine, however after that well...."

He had alot of questions, one of them being, if Vidarr was a mere hallucination, who was the one who helped him train his Haki? However, the Lunarian closed his eyes, accepting the truth of his condition. He was just grateful to be alive."So then, how did I pull through? With the humandrill DNA eating away at my life and everything?"

"We replaced it, and stabilized your lineage factor with a human one. Courtesy of me of course. We also had to give you a blood transfusion courtesy of me. You're such a pain. But I'm glad you're alive. Now KG can shut the hell up about you dying..."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Present...

Cletus had spent all this time preparing for this moment. Thanks to his emergency operation, the Lunarian had lost the ability to Ignite and copy techniques through sight. As a result, he had been brought right back to square one in his quest for getting stronger. However, this time, he didn't spend his time chasing dragons. Nay, he shaved his hair and was subjugated to intense, bone breaking training by The Raging Bulls, who aided KG in teaching Cletus the art of Boxing. The lunarian's fists were stronger than iron, unleashing a terrible shockwave that hurtled towards three Pacifista standing before him. The bodies of two the machines ripped in two, sending their remains flying into the distance.

Cletus entered the plaza, his facial expression grim as he stepped in just in time to witness the fall of their formation, yet again. The buildings hiding the roads had collapsed, the once tactical battle had become a rush as the Marines tried to barrel their way through the Vampirates. The fighting had intensified in an instant. Cletus failed to see the culprit, but considering the sudden appearance of Capone Bege, he could only assume it was another vulture trying to steal the spoils of war.

"Hold them off! They mustn't get through under any circumstances!" He shouted towards his crew, the Vampirate took a step forward, preparing to advance and intervene himself. He was the only commander present strong enough to turn the tides of this defense, and he fully intended to show out. However, fate had other plans, as it usually does...

" Cletus was it?"

Cletus stopped in tracks. Turning around, his eyes fell upon a Marine of average stature. He sported a light blue tunic and a beige colored jean-trousers. Betraying his innocent, youthful face, his eyes illuminated with ferocity of a lion. His golden hair and marine's jacket blew gracefully in the wind."... Before we end up throwing punches at one another. I want some answers."

The Vampirate towered over the Marine by five feet. He looked downward and raised his fists in preparation for a fight. This Vice Admiral was unbelievably strong. He could only imagine what would have happened if this one had managed to attack him while his focus was elsewhere.

"What answers do I owe a Marine? Especially during the middle of war?" Cletus replied, glaring menacingly.
