《One Piece: World Traveler》 Chapter 1 - Reincarnated "Ugh... my head is spinning and my stomach hurts!" grumbled a 10 year old kid as he struggled to open his eyes. The young boy was laying above a tidy bed, but the strange thing was that the room he was sleeping at was in constant movement. The little boy finally succeeded getting rid of his headache, opening his eyes in the process. The boy eyes were strangely ?uster black not soulless nor lifeless. Instead they were like two pristine stones of onyx, that lit up with a purple flare when touched by candle light, his hair was jet black such as the inky night while moderately long that it cascaded over his shoulders. His skin was strangely pale white in contrast with his previous features made it appear like there is an air of mystery about him while his taller build only make him appear more elegant and perfect. The boy eyes were full of doubts and uncertainty. "What happened to me?" The boy asked himself while he tried to organize his thoughts and remember a little about himself. "I''m from Earth, Orphan, University student, I don''t remember much about my own personal life other than this. Still what was that golden light?" The little boy eyes started regaining its clarity, but there still a lot of doubts that was left unanswered. "I''m sure that I died. Although I don''t remember the process, I still remember the pain of my soul leaving my body." As the boy was lost in his own thoughts, the room door was opened, and a slender woman with a revealing pink attire along with a white coat came into sight. The woman watched the boy with guilt-ridden expression, but she hide it almost immediately as she saw the boy eyes turned towards her direction. The woman didn''t understand why his expression was that strange, but she couldn''t handle the silence, so she hurriedly broke it. "I''m sorry little boy, we didn''t make in time!" Said the woman with a sad expression on her face, while her voice brought the young boy out of his reverie. "You are?" Asked the boy with small voice, while hidden in his eyes were a myriad of complex feelings. He was scared at the thought, excited at the same time, while unbelieving and suspecting what he was witnessing in front of his eyes. The woman white clock that keep fluttering without a wind with the kanji of ''Marine'' at her back, along with the golden epaulets only made his suspicions solidify to facts. If the appearance of the woman and her attire didn''t really shake him that hard, then her next words made his mind blown. "I''m Gion, Known also as Momousagi, a marine Vice Admiral!" Answered the woman while her eyes never left the face of the boy. She was inwardly ashamed. If not for her carelessness, she would have been able to made it earlier and save the boy island from being butchered. Alas, her overconfidence in her power and her willingly walking to a trap cost her more than she anticipated. "Excuse me, but I really don''t know you, and I can''t even remember who am I!" The young boy answered, only deepening her conflicted emotions. "I see" Answered Gion with a sad tone, but her sense of justice wasn''t that easy to crack. It wasn''t the first time that she witnessed this kind of massacre, but the fact that her decision was a partial reason made her feel quite guilty. "Where are we now?" Asked the young boy as he looked around him. "We are currently on my warship, heading back to the Marine HQ!" Answered Gion while her eyes seems to be unfocused. "Vice Admiral san, if I''m not mistaken, it seems that my home was raided by pirates?" Asked the boy again neutrally, while his body seems to be a little shaken. ''only he knows why'' "Sadly, yes, The pirates are taken care of, so you don''t have to worry!" Said Gion while watching the boy in front of her with a pitying expression. "It seems that the world is very chaotic, only the strong can survive." mumbled the young boy, but the lady seems to have keen senses, as she couldn''t help but marvel at the boy maturity. Rather than crying or feel fear, he already analyzed the crux of the problem, and found that the only way to survive in this world was accumulating power. Until now, he still didn''t get a glimpse of his golden finger, and the fact that he was currently under the protection of a guilty Vice Admiral that would do anything to atone her sins was very tempting to him to just ignore. For the little boy who was thrown to the marines and pirates world, justice and freedom conflict, couldn''t care less, what he need now, is to survive, get stronger, until that time, he will be able to choose a side that align with his benefits. "Vice Admiral san, I want to be strong, strong enough to protect everything!" Said the boy with a red eyes while he gave a look at the woman that was watching him with appreciation. Gion currently was feeling light-hearted, the boy didn''t bother to accuse her, rather he choose to protect himself and everything he deemed to be worth-protecting. She was still guilty, but the boy decision given her a new outlook and lessened her guilt. her failed mission could only be explained by her lack of power. Gion entire bearing suddenly started to change, from her guilt-ridden and ashamed bearing, she transformed into a sharp sword that beamed with intensity and vigor surprising the boy. "Then I will help you become that kind of person. Call me ''Master'' from now on!" Said the woman with an aggressive tone that accepted no denial, totally different from her indecisive tone from before. The young boy show a joyful look, and he hurriedly shouted! "Yes Master!" "Hm, rest well tonight, because this will be your last chance to do that. It will take a month to come back to the HQ, if you survive this whole month, then you will be qualified enough to join the training camp!" Said the young boy master with a smile that send shivers to the boy scalp. The woman left the room with a beaming smile, while the young boy was left with a bemused expression. "Sigh, now where are you my golden finger?" mumbled the boy as he looked around him, but he found nothing. Next Day. The young boy was guided by his master towards what she called a training room. The curious and suspicious eyes of the female marines never left him, and soon gossips started making their way into his ears. "Gion big sister is in a good mood!" Said a female marine that watched the duo master and disciple. "Hm, I didn''t know that big sister had that kind of fetish!" Added a female beside her. "Tokikake san chances of getting her heart seems to decrease by a huge 99%, didn''t you see how cute that boy look like!" Said another female marine with a big grin in her face. The young boy was sure that his master heard them, but she didn''t seem to care, so he could only follow behind her while suppressing his raging feelings. It didn''t take a long time to the duo to arrive at the destined room. "Little boy, how about thinking about a fitting name for you?" Said Gion as she inspected the boy in front of her. "I''ll be happy if you do that master!" Said The boy, while inwardly, he was a little bit apprehensive. What if she choose some weird name. This world sense of naming seems pretty weird, for god sake who would like to be called Monkey, dog, pheasant... "Hmm, how about black eyes? black hair? pale face? Gion''s disciple?" Gion started thinking of all kind of weird nicknames that the young boy who heard her monologue, almost started tearing. "Master, those aren''t names, those are pirates bounties titles!" Said the boy with a despairing tone. "He? you think so too? I''m sorry, master never really had a chance to pick a normal name, I only give nicknames to pirates..." Said Gion while avoiding his line of sight, while her cheeks were having a little hue red. She was really suck when it comes to naming. The young boy closed his eyes and started desperately thinking of a familiar name that looked cool, suddenly he was reminded of a favorite anime character that he liked a lot, not to mention that his features were strangely similar to him if not for his pitch black eyes and hair. "Master, I remembered my name! my name is Aizen, Aizen Sosuke!" Said the boy hurriedly afraid that he would end up with a comical name that would follow him all his life. Just the fact that he will be called ''pale face'' general in the future almost broke all his motivation to become stronger. Gion was a little surprised that her disciple was able to recall his name, not to mention that she found the name quite domineering. "Aizen Sosuke, what a strange name!" Commented Gion, but she wasn''t really bothered. "Little Aizen, let''s start our training!" Said Gion with a smile. From that day onwards, Little Aizen saw hell. Chapter 2 - Training Training Room. Aizen was breathing heavily while running around the training room, his whole body was perspiring that his training attire soaked with sweat. It has been 4 hours since he started his so-called training. Gion only asked him for one thing. ''Run until you faint.'' She looked very beautiful with her overbearing attitude if only he was not her target. Gion who was watching from the surrounding was totally astonished. The boy stamina was huge compared to his peers. You need to know that recruits in the HQ, could only run for two hours to four hours after a strenuous yearly training, but the boy only started training and he was already on par with a veteran recruit from the headquarters. Gion kept monitoring Aizen that kept running for another more hour, before he fell down fainting. Aizen who didn''t find his golden finger until now was forced to put all his efforts and whatever order Gion gave him. He knew very well that the world is dangerous and if he didn''t become stronger enough, he was sure that soon he will become a corpse. After inquiring Gion, he knew that he was at the twelve years after the great age of pirates, ten years before Luffy embarks and started his journey, and that was one of the reasons that he didn''t stopped running until he lost his consciousness. For Gion, it looks totally different, she only thought of him as a genius with great preservation power and crazy stamina, failing to fathom the great sense of danger little Aizen felt. Aizen woke up the next day and was surprised at how refreshing he was feeling. He thought that he would awake to some endless muscles pain, strangely, he felt stronger. He didn''t forget to look for his golden finger again, sadly, it was the same result. He didn''t find a sh*t. Aizen did the same routine training his master told him about, but this time he was able to run 5 hours without trouble, only to faint at the 6 hour. It may look like a diminutive improvement compared with those monsters that can fight for 10 days or a month without sweating, but for a beginner like him, it was an impressive feat. Gion watched his improvement day by day for a whole week, and was impressed at his power of adaptation as the end of the week, Aizen was no longer fazed by merely running. Other thing that surprised her again was his regenerative capacity, as he always woke up with a refreshing look, as if the training didn''t tire him at all. Aizen only thought that the reason behind that was the one piece world laws, as his master never really showed any impressed expression in front of him coupled with the grinning female marines that make fun of him calling him sleeping princess, the fact that he was a special being never come across his mind. Today, Gion stopped Aizen from his running task. "What is it Master?" Asked Aizen as he breathed moderately. "I just thought that it''s the time I''ll start training you seriously." Said Gion nonchalantly while Aizen who heard her sentence almost fainted from shock. He knew that he wasn''t some real genius, but to actually think that this hell week that he passed was merely a warm up almost destroyed his little confidence to survive until the beginning of the plot. Gion seeing his distressed expression seemed to enjoy it, as she would never tell him that he was a genius, that will only bring him more harm than good. "Aizen-kun, what do you think about the sword?" Asked Gion ignoring her disciple unsettling feelings. "Hm, sword?" Aizen of course knew, but he knew that this question wasn''t for him to answer as his unreasonable master didn''t really bother with him, as she continued. "In this world, there are three supreme roads that every powerhouse tread upon, first, the Devil Fruit path, second, the Haki Path, and third the Sword Path" Aizen listened closely to his master speech, as he wondered inwardly why only the weapon used a lot in one piece was the sword and not any other weapon. "You may be wondering what is a Devil fruit or Haki? Devil fruit is an external power that although gave you immense power, had a couple but fatal of weakness such as (sea water, sea stone), as for Haki, it''s a power that you could only touch after growing up as an accomplished warrior, so you don''t have to ask about it for now!" Aizen could tell that his master had some grudges when she talked about Devil fruits. It''s no wonder as a woman who followed the sword path, she must have come across a lot of people that urged her to forsake this ''manly'' path, still, she clenched her teeth and continued her journey. He couldn''t help but look towards his master with a newfound respect. "I will be teaching you the basics of Sword Path!" Gion said overbearingly without really caring about his feelings or opinions. Yet, Aizen wasn''t really that bothered because he was also interested in sword fights. Because it''s the most effective and efficient way of combat, a mere slash could end a fight that may take other Haki or fruit users on the same level weeks of time. Gion was glad seeing that he disciple seems interested, and she started teaching him the basic stances. "Keep your stance firm" "Your hands are shaky!" "There is no power in your strikes" "Fix your stance!" Such commands could be heard the entire day as Aizen kept waving his wooden sword. The training was very arduous as the stances took from him a lot of focus and raw power just to keep it right. By the end of the day, Aizen whole body was aching and threatening to fall apart. Gion blank expression as she watched Aizen leave the training room soon changed to a joyful one. "He is really a genius, It seems as if he was born to wield the Sword!" Said Gion proudly as she watched her pitiful disciple. In just one day, he as able to master basic stances that should at least take a normal person years of hard training. Other than the lacking raw power, his basics already entered a moderate level of sword user. The following days followed as Gion abused Aizen and destroying his little confidence everyday, but what surprised her was that Aizen didn''t really show any bad expression. Aizen know that he didn''t have the time to throw a tantrum. If he missed a day of training because of his so-called pride and bull*hit, he would end up impaled by a pirate sword. Aizen body regenerative power helped a lot in his training, as he always wake up with a refreshing feel, his basic stances only got more refined, and he could even feel a strange aura that from time to time spark off from his wooden sword. According to Gion, it was what swordsman called Sword Qi, apparently it wasn''t something big. If only he knew that generating this kind of power meant that he was already at the verge of breaking through the next level. Gion knew that soon her disciple would discover her trickery, but she would never approve it. She will always look down on his improvement until he became strong enough to protect himself. The month soon come to an end, and the sword training also drop its curtains. Aizen was able to easily manipulate his Sword Qi, but following his master advices, he didn''t stop training his basics. Aizen grow a little bit taller and his body was full of defined and exquisite muscles, but the thing that draw a lot of attention from Aizen was the raw power he possesses now. Doriki measurement machine that he discovered by chance. A common armed marine soldier power as he still recalled was 10, while Aizen current power was already 110. That only meant that he was able to go from 1 or 2 Power level to 110 in a mere month, but soon he was deflated, as he knew very well that he still a small character in the whole scheme of things. The warship finally made its last sprint towards the MHQ harbor, and Aizen started preparing to join the training camp that his master promised him. "Aizen-kun, I knew that you got stronger in the previous month, but it''s not only you that keep improving and getting better. If I''m not wrong, you already measured your Doriki!"Said Gion while watching her disciple with her overbearing character, inwardly, she won''t get enough of his stressed expression, she found him very cute. "Your 110 Power Level won''t even get you a place in the Recruit Elite Training Camp!" Continued Gion while keeping her full attention towards her little disciple. "What? then how much power needed so I can join them?" Asked Aizen, he knew that to get more resources and protection, he needed to show his worth, plus his clean background, he knew that he can have a worthy rank in the marine corps. The fact that he is a genius or not, Aizen couldn''t really sure, after all, Coby was able to grow up to a strong marine in a mere months. "At least 300 Doriki, if you were able to triple your current Doriki in the coming years, you would have a chance to join and learn the core superhuman martial arts style - Rokushiki, not to mention the mystical Haki." Encouraged Gion while keeping her neutral expression. What she didn''t tell him was that a 10 years old like him with this kind of power is already off charts. After all, if he was 16 or 17 years at the spurt of his growth like his ''peers'', she didn''t know what level he would achieve. Chapter 3 - Marineford Marineford - Headquarters. The Marine headquarters situated in a crescent moon-shaped island that is composed completely of bricks and steel, it also has a huge harbor that could accommodate hundreds of thousands of ships, additionally there is a place for the soldiers families to live and that is the city surrounding the most conspicuous and towering Japanese-style like fortress that Aizen ever saw. Gion noticed his expression couldn''t help but smile warmly towards her disciple. "That would be your home from now on!" Gion always believed that even though the boy had an amnesia, he still longed to a place to call home, and she wasn''t totally wrong. Aizen eyes reddened a little, at least, now he could power up without fear to lose his little life. After all, this was the most secure place in the planet next to Mary Geoise for a whole decade. Seeing the overflowing tears that threatened to escape Aizen eyes, Gion patted his head a little consoling him. The warship finally entered the port, and Aizen knew that his security from now on would be guaranteed. Bidding his goodbyes with the reluctant female marines, he followed Gion to the training camp. The journey wasn''t that long, but he met a lot of strong looking marine soldiers that only show respect and awe towards his master which made him feel a little proud, as he stuck up his head up while thinking inwardly that even if he doesn''t really have some talent, he would use his teacher fame to live a peaceful life. Gion who saw through his thoughts couldn''t help but sneer. It wasn''t really Aizen fault, then again, when you found yourself in a world where a person like Kaidou could survive a 10.000km fall from a sky island, and you are pretty much sure that you aren''t the protagonist nor you are special, you need to start being pragmatic and think about a peaceful future life where even if there was a war that will burn this world soon, you could still make it alive. The duo soon made it in front of a grand looking training yard. Gion asked him to wait there, and not much time after, he was convoked to a building to register his informations and validate his will to join the camp, only to be thrown in a trashy looking dorm. He didn''t even have the chance to met his master again, he knew that she must have seen through his intentions, so she encouraged him using her ways. "Sigh, she could have at least take me to her home, we''re master and disciple after all" Grumbled Aizen as he tidied up his bed. "Tomorrow 7am in the central square, if you are late, then you could only blame yourself!" Shouted the marine soldier that showed Aizen the way while glaring at him, before closing the door. Aizen was a small kid, so for the marines here, he was a mere nuisance. There were a lot of people similar to his age ''13-14'' that came here to train believing that they were some geniuses, in the end, they couldn''t even become normal soldiers. Aizen sigh again while he lay on his bed thinking of way to ?ssure his life. Sengoku Office. A muscular middle aged looking man with a long, braided goatee and a mustache, a cap covers his hair coupled with a black-rimmed glasses and a white and gold full Marine admiral uniform that is adorned with medals was sitting there drinking his tea while inspecting multiple reports in front of him. He was Sengoku The Buddha, the fleet admiral, the one even above the three admirals. ''Knock Knock'' The door was knocked attracting his attention away from the stack of papers. "Come on in!" The door opened and Gion could be seen there, as she slowly approached the man. "Good Job Momousagi, I heard about what happened, to destroy the pirates of the one-eyed demon in a full charge, as expected of you!" Said Sengoku with appreciation as he looked towards this young Vice Admiral. She was one of the vice admirals that have the potential to attain the admiral level. "But a whole Island was destroyed in the process!" Said Gion with a deep remorse. "It wasn''t your fault, those rotten pirates and their damn pirates era are the one to be blamed, you only have done what any dependable marine have to do in your place. Although it was a trap, it was an accurate decision!" Said Sengoku, for a person like him that look through the nature of the world, bad and good, are something they decide. Gion was a marine with a full potential, if she was to be hindered by such a small matter, it would be a great loss. Gion was silent for a moment, before she stated the reason she came here. "Sengoku-san, I found a genius in my way back" Said Gion, if Aizen was here, he would have been shocked, because from what he knows he was never praised by his cheap master. "To actually called a genius by you? what is special about him?" Asked Sengoku, he was very interested, he knew very well what kind of woman Gion was. For her a genius, was at least in the same level as the three new admirals. "He is 10 years old, a survivor from that ''destroyed'' Island, had an amnesia, in a month under my training was able to increase his power level from a non-existent one to 110, has a crazy stamina and an insane regeneration, sword genius, but that''s not what made him great in my eyes!" Said Gion with a prideful hint, as she got even more smug looking towards the gaped mouth of the fleet admiral. "The reason I choose to take him as a disciple because the first thing he said after discovering about my blunder and lost family, he didn''t blame me nor made a scared expression, rather he was m?tur? enough to think of a solution, he choose to become stronger to protect everything he deemed worth to protect! although, he started to show sloth the moment he felt safe, he is deemed to greatness!" Gion didn''t hold up in her praise, that even Sengoku was a little bit doubtful. The Marine force was really in a bad situation lately, as other than the three admirals that showed monstrous talent, the other could only classed as subpar, and the fact that such a great talent appeared, it eased Sengoku mind a lot, but because of the series of the letdowns and betrayal, he couldn''t help but hesitate a little. "You don''t need to do any favoring Sengoku-san, the boy in question is thinking that he is only an average person, if not even below-average!" Said Gion as she could guess that Sengoku was thinking if he should go full nurturing. Sengoku was surprised. "What do you mean?" "You only need to let him struggle and made his way all the way to the top without any helping hand. The reason I didn''t want to tell him about his talent was all for the reason to mold him to a true powerhouse!" Gion eyes shined while speaking of her true purpose, if only they knew that it wasn''t that profound, she only enjoyed her distressed expression. Sengoku was amazed, and was even more interested about this youngling. "Let''s monitor him then" Sengoku also liked the idea. It was also to appease himself as he would seriously saw through the nature of the boy. For him people like akainu, a justice maniac, Aokiji the lazy bum or Kizaru who hates troubles all have their defaults, but the reason they were still able to become admirals was their belief in the system. It doesn''t matter for him what a personality the boy had, what he needed to see was that if the boy has that belief or not. Chapter 4 - Sparring In the marine headquarter, Marineford. A large number of the headquarter''s recruit were running and training in a wide square. The recruits were differing in age, but the only common thing between them were that the fact that they all look like teenagers except of Aizen that seems to stand out with his small build and small age. Under the jeering and the scornful eyes of his seniors, he continued to run while he was thinking inwardly. ''Strange, it''s been two hours since we started our running session, and they already started breathing heavily!'' The recruits who saw that Aizen was still in a good shape couldn''t stop looking down on him. "This cheater know no shame!" Said a recruit in white training attire. "Don''t bother, he is a mere child" Answered his colleague back. Then again, the only explanation to this was the fact that he was cheating, still, the recruits didn''t really care nor mind. Aizen who heard them seems to understand a little that his current performance seems to be quite the feat to be labeled as a cheating. He couldn''t help but rejoice that he seems to be talented, only not that much in his master eyes. Ignoring the ''weak'' recruits, Aizen started to widen the distance while looking with disdain towards his seniors. The recruits were pissed off, but they could only wait to take their revenge in the second training session. "Ok, stop running, you can have a break for ten minutes" Said a mentor after seeing the tired expressions of the recruits. Aizen stopped running and imitated his seniors by sitting on the floor to take a break. The confident Aizen turned back to the ''weak'' recruits and flashed a disdainful smile. He just couldn''t swallow the fact that they called him a cheater. Strangely enough, the other recruits looked at him as if he was some idiot. It was quite the dumbfounding matter for Aizen, but soon he understood his plight. "Break time is over, let''s start the second session, Sparring!" The rest time was over, and with it came the trashing time. Aizen who heard the announcement of the mentor, his face paled with fright as he could see the ridiculing faces of his ?ssociates. "Little boy, let''s have a fair and square sparring!" The marine that called him cheater before approached him while giving him a sinister smile, while instigating him to accept. "You want to fight a child, and you call it fair and square?! how dare you call yourself a justice guard with this kind of temperament!" Said Aizen with black lines in his forehead. The marine recruit was a little surprised, but soon he was enlightened. "You are scared aren''t you?" Said the marine soldier smugly while his friends started jeering at the little boy. totally what you would expect from teenagers bullies. Aizen face was red with rage, of course he is afraid. those recruits even though they look like teenagers, everyone of them have the power to be called superman in his world. "I warn you, my master is Sengoku the fleet admiral, my uncle is Akainu the admiral, and my father in law is Aokiji! if any of you touch me, death is the only outcome that awaited for you!" Said Aizen with a straight face while warning them. The recruits were really apprehensive under this threat, and already started thinking that maybe he wasn''t lying. "He is lying, I''m his roommate, he only arrived yesterday, and he didn''t even take a glimpse at what the headquarters look like!" Shouted a teenager that Aizen found him a little familiar. The recruits that almost got tricked by Aizen were boiling with rage. Without any warning, they lashed at him. Everyone of those recruits had a power level between 80-160 as they are headquarters recruits, they were totally different from the marines trash that you would find outside. Aizen knew that he was screwed, and even though he was reluctant to being beat up, he didn''t know how to Shunpo like the real Aizen. As the recruits approached him with multiple fists and kicks, Aizen suddenly felt a strange feeling. even though it was faint, it existed. His legs suddenly blurred, and unconsciously, he was away from his recruits about 10 meters. The recruits didn''t notice any change and lashed at his afterimage, and because there was nothing there, the excess of power in their fists and kicks broke their stances, and they ended up hitting each other while also harming themselves. Aizen watched the sight in front of him with a bewildered expression. ''That was shunpo'' Said Aizen inwardly. but soon he shook his head, it wasn''t a real shunpo, rather a strange power moved his legs forcefully and followed his internal d?s?r?. He felt a little bit tired, but soon he was refreshed and that only deepened his confusion. Through the eyes of the den den mushi that was planted by Sengoku to monitor Aizen, there was faint bulging expressing its shock. Sengoku along with Tsuru and Gion were watching the first day of Aizen training in the sake to understand more about his qualities and genius and they weren''t really disappointed. The fact that he used Sengoku as backer along with two other admirals pissed Gion a lot, while Tsuru and Sengoku didn''t now how to react. Tsuru admired his mischievous character, and the fact that he used his head to protect himself as he can''t do it with force, while Sengoku was having troubles hold his laughter imagining the reactions of Sakazuki and Kuzan. But soon their reactions turned to shock! "Was that Suru?!" Asked Sengoku with a shocked expression while turning his face to Gion. Gion shook her head "I didn''t teach him that!" Her expression mad eit clear that she also was surprised. "It''s not Suru" Said Tsuru with a wise look. "Hm? Then what was that?" Asked Sengoku, he very much trusted Tsuru deductions. The screen at that time showed the recruits beating the crap out of Aizen while he was trying his best to avoid or to block, strangely enough, he would take the less threatening hits, while avoid the fatal ones. Aizen himself only followed his intuition and the red dots that started to appear in front of his eyes along with the slow motion mode that he was strangely on. "It was just an unintentional reaction of his body, the boy is an innate genius, only his combat awareness without the other qualities that Gion mentioned is enough for him to make his way to the Admiral Rank, call it an intuition, but this boy is deemed to greatness." Said Tsuru while she watche the screen. Aizen also started attacking the bullying recruits from unpredictable directions that seems unavoidable. but soon he wasn''t able to fight them due to their sheer number. So, in the central square, a strange sight transpired, a bunch of teenager were kicking the shit out of a small boy. Gion forehead was bulging with blue veins, if not for the mentor that hurried up to stop the fight, she would sure destroy those trashes. Sengoku could only sigh in relief as the boy didn''t seem to be that heavily injured. "I''m leaving Sengoku san" Said Gion with a cold tone, as she left the office. Seeing her expression, Sengoku didn''t know what to say, but Tsuru face on the other hand was unfocused as she looked towards the screen. The boy seems to have a scary regeneration, even though he was injured a lot of times, his body would be healed in the next moment, but it seems that his healing take a tax on his stamina, the reason why he fainted at the end of the fight. The square was full of bloody recruits as the fight with Aizen was really brutal. They didn''t thought that the boy was that ruthless, now that they calmed down, they finally understood that they provoked someone they shouldn''t pissed off, coupled with the cold look they got from Gion Vice Admiral, they knew that they were f*cked up. At the distance, there was a youth in his twenty, a marine recruit, he had a tall and lean build, a reddish brown hair coupled with a scar on his broad chin. He was one of the recruits that didn''t attack the boy, and only watched from far away. "Interesting..." Said the youth, while he left the square. He was Drake, the most talented one in the recruits of the headquarters, and also the one that was expected to join the Elite Camp, by the end of this year. Chapter 5 - Golden Finger Aizen opened his eyes and was surprised that he was in a dark place. He was a little apprehensive, but soon he glimpsed a holy golden light come in from the deep darkness. Aizen moved slowly but surely onwards, he was cautious as he still don''t understand what is he doing here. He still remembered being trashed by the recruits due to causes he himself can''t fathom. Was it because he was overly handsome? was it because they thought he was a cheater? or maybe because he made up a white lie of him having ties with the higher up? Aizen continued advancing, and soon he was able to take a clear look to what the golden light was. A Golden Orb was hovering there, it was familiar. The more he approached, the more he found it warm and close. Soon, a stream of memories downed his brain, and he was reminded of the golden light he saw at the end of his life. He was enlightened, so it was like that. At the moment his soul left his body, he could still remember how it was shackled with multiple chains. it wasn''t only the soul, even his body was tied by the world rules. He was reckoned to vanish from the river of existence. But something crazy happened. He was able to break his chains with only his will, his soul seems to be stronger and was able to warp the universe laws and bypassed its judgement. Still, he wasn''t able to return back to his body, rather he choose not to, because the moment he returned, he will be suppressed again. His Soul Characteristics was somehow able to manifest his imagination and turned to reality, Anything he imagined, anything at all, becomes reality. Alas, that was only effective outside the world laws, so he could only took refuge in void. He was lost in void for eternity, until he met the golden light. It was a mere touch with the orb, but his internal d?s?r?s were fulfilled. He d?s?r?d a body, and he got one, it was even with the same features as the person he always admired. He was also able to bypass the world laws and transmigrate to his favorite world. The Orb was currently analyzing The One Piece world laws and trying to hack its Quintessence, the reason why his power was faint and almost no-existent and that was presented in front of him as he could see a Bar with 0.4% "So you are my golden finger." Said Aizen happily, while the orb shined for a couple of times as if it understood. "Then what about my other wishes?" Asked Aizen curiously. The Bar suddenly turned to 10% before returned to 0.4%, but Aizen understood. His golden finger fitted his power that was repulsed by the laws. Aizen power could warp reality and turn what he imagine to reality, but that also required him to understand the conceptual laws of the world. A mortal being from Earth like him was totally disadvantaged comparing to other people that were born in other worlds like cultivation or magic where understanding laws was possible. The Orb use was certainly take control of the world laws to ignore the master power other than suppress it, besides that, the Orb helped the master to understand the conceptual laws and even manipulate it. Per example, the conceptual law of time if cracked by the orb, could be used by Aizen to stop Time, or go back in time, but the crux problem right now in front of Aizen was the most potent way to accelerate the Orb Hacking process. As Aizen was focused in his own thoughts, he felt that the black space around him started to crack, and instantly, he found himself back in the real word, but this time there was a little change. "You''ve finally woken up!" A soothing and familiar voice awakened Aizen from his daze. "Master!" Said Aizen as he looked towards the troubled face of his master. "Thank god! I thought that you will sleep for at least two days or so!" Gion was really worried, after all, he was surrounded by more than ten teenager, the weaker of them was in the same level with him. Hearing her concerned tone, Aizen heart was warm, and although he was mad at his cheap master lying about his greatness and talent, he somehow understand her intentions. "I wasn''t that badly injured, I only lost a lot of my stamina in the fight!" Said Aizen while trying to ?ssure his master. Gion gave a him an inspecting look, and it was true that he wasn''t that injured, other than his weary expression, even the small injuries that she saw before totally disappeared. "From now on, you don''t need to go to the camp, I''ll be teaching you the basics of combat and the sword way!" Said Gion overbearingly, still hidden in her eyes was still a little guilt. She didn''t thought that those trashes would gang up on her cute disciple. "Is that ok master? I mean you told me that I should join the elite camp, and if I wanted to do that, attendance is a must!" Aizen didn''t really wanted to leave the camp, because he thought that maybe fighting and stimulating his body is the only way to accelerate his orb bar process, along with discovering his other powers. Until now, he could count about three : Secondly : Perception, he could feel that he understand a lot of things easily, and could master it with only a moderate effort. Thirdly : He could see through weaknesses and fatal points in the opponent body, beside that, he somehow have a weird ability just like the ''Sharingan'', he can copy other martial arts, slow down the time and predict attack intentions. And lastly, his own soul energy which able to warp reality and manifest his imagination, but he could only use a 0.001% of it. Gion knew that he was right, but she wouldn''t let him be bullied there, not under her watch. "What about this master, I''ll attend the training camp in mornings, and train the basics of combat and sword in the evenings under your watch!" Asked Aizen with a hopeful look. Gion could only sigh in approval. She wanted to protect him from the bullies, however it seems that he wan''t that afraid. Taking a look at his eager expression, she was once again proud at how fearless her disciple was. Aizen that discovered his unlimited potential already started thinking of all kind of approaches to accelerate his body stimulation. He didn''t mind trashed and bullied if he was able to get stronger and protect himself. He need to work harder to unlock his other wishes... Chapter 6 - Sword Path Gion Vice Admiral Private Courtyard - Training Room Inside a training dojo-like room that its flooring was wooden solid while its walls was built by a strong metal only a little inferior to sea stones, equipped with all kind of dummies and measurement power machines, stood a boy with a wooden sword. He kept waving his sword up and down while keeping his stance firm, he seems to be focused, but he wasn''t actually. His eyes never left the bar that kept changing the more he waved. 0.4119% - 0.412001% ... There was a 6 number behind the zero that kept changing the more he tire himself. Through his training he discovered one way to accelerate the Orb Analysis. First, through watching strong people making a move, the Orb could register the ''action'' and ''copy'' it augmenting the percentage of the process. Second, through training and breaking the limits of his body, The Orb data bar will increase. If he wasn''t wrong, a month ago, he was merely 0%, but through his devilish training with his master, he was able to elevate the process percentage. Aizen stopped waving his sword as his eyes trailed towards the machine of Doriki measurement. He approached due to some of his doubts. After being trashed by his ''friends'' this morning, he felt as if his power was strengthened. Clenching his hand on the sword handle, he exuded a sword Qi aura and coated his sword with it, exerting all his power through the wooden sword, he attacked the testing machine. Boom, Crack. Surprisedly, the wooden sword crumbled under the sheer force of his uncontrolled sword aura along with his unaccustomed fleshly body. 267 That was already a level of power that could allow him to be ?ssigned into the Elite Camp. Aizen started to thought of the reason behind his power up, and other than being injured and healed almost depleting his ample stamina. he couldn''t think of any other thing. Zenkai? Masochist? But there is one thing he understood, his body that was built by a godly cheat like the golden orb, capable of bypassing a world law wasn''t to be belittled. The more his body was pushed to the limit, it will breakthrough it, it was as if he has no bottleneck like his peers, thus, the name of this power was called by Aizen - Limit Breaker. it seems more high handed than Zenkai or M! The sounds of footsteps could be heard from behind the boy, as he turned his face he was surprised by his master surprised expression, and he couldn''t help but turn smug. Seeing his expression, she hurriedly composed herself, and turned in Master mode. "Not bad, you already doubled your power since the first day of the training, I''m relived, you won''t be trashed again I suppose!" Said Gion while emphasizing the trashing part ruining his smug feel. "As I informed you before, This lesson will be about the basics of combat and sword way. Only, you need to comprehend more about the system power as it''s highly probable that you will met devil fruit users in the future, maybe there are ones in the camp too. Logia devil fruit users, they are the most annoying and troubling opponent to deal with as they could manipulate elements or nature force to their bidding, except what make them fearsome are the ability to turn to the said element. they are untouchable if you aren''t a Haki user or a Sword Master. The three current Admirals are one of those. Paramecia devil fruit users can affect their body, manipulate the environment, or produce substances, but don''t be mistaken to think that it''s weaker than the Logia type, the strongest man in the world W.B is one of those users. And lastly, the Zoan devil fruit users, They acquire the ability to transform into another species or an inter-species hybrid forms at will. The fleet Admiral Sengoku is such an example." Aizen faked his surprise and excitement, but he didn''t miss an important part in her speech. "Sword Masters?" Asked Aizen which brought a big smile on Gion face. "Yes, Sword Masters are people that could use their sword intent to bypass the devil fruit queer abilities, and harm the adversary without the use of armament Haki, which is also a power that could bypass a devil fruit unbreakable defense. Only, a Sword Master would still learn Armament Haki to protect and fortify his sword." Aizen was a little surprised, from what he remembered even though Zoro was able to cut Daz Bonez, but that was steel cutting. Dracule Mihawk wasn''t able to scratch Diamond Jozu in the war at all. Did he got something wrong? Seeing her disciple confusion, she continued. "Let me explain the sword stages for you: First - Sword novice, and that is someone that only wave his sword like a bat. Second - Sword Qi/Aura, the sword user is enlightened in the sword way, and it''s the first step. Third - One with the sword, only a sword user that can use his sword just like any part of his body can be called a Sword Master, in this stage, the sword user can even generate cutting air attacks and use his sword as a range weapon. This stage is divided into four big chasms - Beginner / Intermediate / Top / Master I''m currently at the Top stage, while the the number one sword user that came into existence some years ago Dracule Mihawk is at the Master stage. Fourth - and it''s called the sword heart, it''s a fabled level that no one really knew if it was legend or truth." Finished Gion, but unconsciously her face was full of pride. "But Master, why is it only Sword? why other weapons aren''t included?"Asked Aizen, he was really curious, that was something new he didn''t heard about in the canon. "Lost, I heard there were a lot of martial arts and weapon arts that got lost in the past, no one knew why or when, but currently only the sword legacy that still exists. A weapon master could only be enlightened in the aura or Qi, but to take the step of one with the weapon, he would need a martial art to take that step and even if he succeed, he would need a lot of time to do so, so no one bother. Anyway, you are going to learn the sword, don''t ask about other weapons!" Said Gion strictly as she felt that her disciple wasn''t passionate enough towards the sword. "As you command Master!" Shouted the boy. "Good, let''s start our training session!"Said Gion with a satisfied expression, as she suddenly took out her sword, that Aizen recalled its name as Konpira. Attracting Aizen attention, Gion entire bearing transformed, and Aizen could swear that he felt like he was admiring a sheathed sword. Gion sword moved and the world seems to move along with it, the feeling of the reservation that she gave away a moment ago turned fierce, and the sheathed sword turned to a sharp one. An air current with a bluish aura invaded the atmosphere as it move in an arc like path, impacting the measurement Doriki machine. 5700 Seeing the number that seems not her all power, Aizen was amazed, he still remembered that Rob Lucci power was at the 4000 threshold and he was already at the marine Vice Admiral Level, No wonder it was mentioned that if not for Fujitora and Green Bull, the next Admirals would have been her and Tokikake. Other than this, The bar in front of his eyes seems to increase magically from 0.4% to 0.7%, along with a great amount of understanding towards the sword path. He could even feel that his body grow more stronger. It seems the more the percentage increase in numbers, the more he could grow stronger while ignoring the limits of the world laws. Aizen Passed the next two months under the tutor of his master having an intensive training, but as no one provoked him, he felt in a bottleneck, so he could only torture his body and push it to the limits. by the end of the two months, Aizen finally turned 11, and soon the Assessment Promotion to the Elite Training Camp is about to begin. Chapter 7 - Qualified To Join The Elite Camp. "Have you heard the last news? the promotion ?ssessment of the elite training camp is about to begin, I don''t know if I''m able to pass." "What the hell are you talking about? pass? with your power level of 170 you can''t even make it to the list of the challengers, maybe four years or so you would have a chance, Hahahahaha!" "Sigh, why are you so ruthless? At least let me dream peacefully. Then again, to be trained personally by the former Admiral Z, the one that meticulously trained the three Admirals. Only true geniuses would have such a privilege." "Do you have any idea who are the lucky bastards that make it this year?" "I heard that Drake from our group is qualified enough to pass the ?ssessment. The lucky bastard ate a Zoan devil fruit, he is unstoppable, maybe even those elite recruits would be trashing by him." "Really? that bastard, he passed years in the training camp without any improvement, to think that he would luck it out in the last year ceremonial ?ssessment" Such conversations were everywhere inside the square, Admiral Z seems to have a big hardcore fan base in the recruits camps. Praise and glorification could be heard here in there. Aizen didn''t really have any friend because of his small age and build, and although he was about 160 cm tall and looked more m?tur?r and attractive in his white training marine attire, in this world of one piece where humans are about 3-8 meters, he could only described as a cute little baby. Drake name was a famous name in this group of recruits, they would talk about his old age and luck, and even Aizen got to met him more than one time, and every time he would whisper about them being rivals. Aizen knew very well that even Admirals such as Kuzan and Borsalino didn''t join marine until 18-19 years old, and those teenagers although thought that they have advantages, other than fighting pirates every year, there was none. The moment a genius started training, he would easily bypass his peers, and that''s why although Aizen show a great leap in power no one was really shocked, other than appreciation from the higher up. The bottlenecks started to appear only after the 1000 mark - Captain (Taisa). And that''s one of the requirements to graduate in the Elite Training camp according to Gion Master. Aizen was different, for him, talent could be described with the world laws suppression. If you were blessed, you are genius, if not, no matter what you do, you will never even broke through the 300 mark. His body that was created by the miracle orb was a body that even true gods would kill for it, he could bypass laws and get stronger only by breathing, not to mention his warping reality soul force. So he wasn''t really that eager to show his worth to his friends and get complimented, that explains why even he was already in Elite recruit level, no one know about it. Today was the day their mentor would inform them with the names that were qualified to join the ?ssessment, the only difference was that the central square was full of different faces that seems to come from other camps. some looked nervous, other seems hopeful while a bunch of them look over confident and arrogant. The moment the mentors appeared every one calmed down, while watching them heedfully. "The names that were qualified to join the ?ssessment would be announced : - Drake from Camp 1 - Candre from Camp 2 - Glove from Camp 3 ... ... - Aizen from Camp 1 ... ... " The moment the mentor finished, he turned around and left after notify them to come to the harbor Dock N¡ãX at 7.am tomorrow. The square soon turned chaotic, some were shouting that they did it, others were having troubles to accept that they weren''t qualified. Other than some from the Camp 1 that heard the name Aizen, no one really care about his existence. As Aizen was leaving the square, he could still hear some of his fellow trainees that were debating who Aizen was, after all, he didn''t really tell his name to anyone. "Isn''t that brat name Aizen?" Said his roommate as he suddenly remembered the plate name on Aizen room. The moment they heard that the brat was qualified, their face turned pale with fright, not because of his qualification, rather they feel that there was some behind the scenes actions and to be able to do that, he must be really connected to the higher ups. There was only one thought in their trembling minds! ''Our future ceased to exist!'' The next day, in front of the Marineford huge harbor, Large warships were docked there and the qualified troop of recruits were boarding them with excited expressions. As the qualified troops have enough talent, they were of course treated with care, and the higher ups decided to sent Vice Admirals to guard them in their journey. Aizen of course was ?ssigned to his Master warship, but he was surprised as before he could board on, he met with two of the most superb characters of One Piece. Garp The Marine Hero along with Zephyr The Former Admiral, the two of them stand there peacefully while joking around, but Aizen could feel a monstrous power hiding deep inside each of them. "Garp-chan, Zephyr sensei, He is the disciple I talked to you about!" Said Gion proudly while presenting her disciple towards the two old geezers. Zephyr showed a warm smile, while Garp with his nonchalant expression kept dug in his noise while inspecting the boy in front him. From what Aizen heard, they were talking about Garp''s grandson that was almost corrupted by some red hair, but because of his Garp''s intelligence, he was able to save his grandson. Aizen even though didn''t really care, but to stand in front of those characters, he couldn''t suppress his admiration as a ''fan'', but that was taken by the others as a ''personal'' one. "Nice Meeting you, Garp sama, Zephyr sama, I heard a lot about your greatness from master!" Aizen greeted them politely while showing an elegant bearing. Gion was really satisfied with this part of him. "What a polite young man!" Said Zephyr with a surprised tone. It was his first time seeing something like that, as all his disciples were a bunch of troublesome kids. "Hahahaha! I like this boy! so you do know about my greatness! Hahahaha!" Garp was really pleased with the way the boy in front him showed respect, he was suddenly reminded of his two impolite grandsons. he didn''t get any thing similar to that from them. "Little Boy, Do you want to become my disciple? Hahahaha!" Asked Garp. "Garp chan, How dare you try to steal my disciple ?!" Gion faked her anger. The recruits around were watching the conversation with trepidation, for them to stand in front of such characters without fear was a great feat. Aizen didn''t really stay much with those two geezers, as he knew that their stage was still far away for him, so after sharing some pleasantries with them, he boarded on his master warship without looking back. Other than getting gazes of respect, awe and challenge from his fellow trainees, he was also labeled as ''not to offend character'' "Hahaha, this boy is really a talent, he wasn''t fazed at all!" Said Garp while laughing his ?ss off. "Garp chan, Sensei, you should have at least hold up a little, the other recruits almost lost their will to live!" Added Gion from the side. "Hm, He is really a good seedling. Didn''t you notice that it wasn''t that he was unfazed, he totally ignored our pressure unknowingly, If I''m not wrong, there is a great chance that he is a ''King''''" Said Zephyr with deep meaning while watching the back of the boy that vanished inside the warship. Although they weren''t conqueror Haki holder, they were able to pressure people weaker than them, but the lack of reaction coming from the boy can only be explained with one thing. "Hahahaha, what are you worrying about, isn''t Sengoku similar? King or not, what matters is how strong your fist hahahahaha!" Garp wasn''t really bothered, he knew that ''Kings'' were troublesome, but if he was guided properly, he could be like another Sengoku. "You are right! I can''t wait to train him to be a strong man. That brat Borsalino will soon understand what is a true powerhouse, depending on his fruit, someday he would end up dead!" Grumbled Zephyr as he remembered his idiot disciple. Gion that was watching the conversation from the side couldn''t help but let out a stifled breath that she didn''t knew she was holding. Her ample br??sts jiggling around coupled with her relieved appearance made her look beautiful. She didn''t know what to do if Zephyr and Garp didn''t approve him, but she was relieved, as he was able to left a good impression on both of them. The warship finally left the harbor at full speed and soon there was only the blue sea with nothing else in the surrounding. The next destination was a small island not that far from the marineford. According to his master, it was a private island that was full of monsters used to test the contestants. Chapter 8 - Assessment Start "I wonder if we gonna fight some villain pirates?" Said a recruit while he admired the blue sea. "Pirates? I say brother, It must be your first time I suppose" Answered another that seems to be a veteran with quite the knowledge. "Yes, How did you know?" The recruit was surprised. "Other than the fact that the test didn''t change since the last couple of years, saying the word ''pirate'' lightly only show how soft of a person you are. Pirates are even worst than monsters, a monster would still be predictable, and if you aren''t able to kill it, you could still run away, but if you were to face with a pirate, you won''t ever know how did you die. Only graduates and Elite Camp members have that kind of power and privilege" Said the Veteran with a deep voice. Aizen sitting at the side was reminded again with the danger of this world. This was a ''real'' world, pirates were even worst than monsters in the eyes of those recruits. People like Luffy that spare their enemies only appear in the stories. It didn''t take much of a time, an Island started to lay across their sight. The island seems to be an artificial one, and the recruits couldn''t help but gasp in amazement and gaze in pride at how resourceful and powerful their faction was. "This Island was founded personally by Z-sensei, the dangerous vibe that the island gave may bring trepidation and fear in the hearts of the recruits, but the truth is, this place is the most safest one!" Aizen didn''t know when Gion appeared behind him, but through her look, he could deduce how of an overprotective man Zephyr was. Aizen choose not to answer, as his master eyes seems to ponder her reason of life. The warships soon approached the dock, and the recruits started preparing to their coming test. "Aizen chan, take this" Gion who started calling Aizen with a chan suffix, passed him a fine looking katana. "It''s not some legendary sword, but I can ?ssure you that it won''t lose the great grade." Said Gion as she saw his strange look. What Gion didn''t know was that the reason of his strange expression, other than feeling warm, the Katana reminded him of Aizen Sosuke Zanpakuto. "What''s the name of this sword master?"Asked Aizen with a unfocused expression. "I got it specially forged for you, so it''s not named yet, You know master is really bad with naming, how about you give it a name?" Asked Gion with an eager expression, she very much wanted to see his joyful expression. "Ky¨­ka Suigetsu, That would be your name!" Said Aizen, as he could feel that the power of his soul started seeping to recreate a real Zanpakuto, "As expected of my disciple! your sense of naming is very imposing!" Said Gion with a surprised expression. Aizen who was using his soul power, already started to ignore ''truth'', for him such a concept didn''t exist at all. Maybe when he was till mortal, he would never think about such a strange thing. Then again, he no longer care. All he needed to do was to believe in his own ''truth'', he could create his own ''reality'' while ignoring and warping any reality that didn''t align with his own interest and deemed it as a mere imagination that can''t exist or even subsist in his own realm. Sadly, his own Truth still didn''t made it to that level. The suppression of the world laws stopped it, but that doesn''t mean he didn''t succeed in fortify his sword. From now on, he would be able to generate illusions with his sword at the same level of complete hypnosis along with Ice damage, the only detriment is that the moment he sheath his katana, the illusion and the ice will disappear, so it''s not handy for long-term scheming, but it''s quite practical as no one will discover they were under an hypnosis if they didn''t use their observation Haki. Seeing his power able to recreate the sword abilities brought a huge smile on his face, while Gion seems to be pleased as she got what she wanted. She may act cold and haughty, but she really dote upon her one and only disciple. The recruits soon left the warships, and according to the sheet given to them by some mentors that lived in the island, they started heading towards the the forest. The mission was about killing monsters and accumulating points, there was no conditions or restrictions as people could team up. The monsters were divided into 3 Levels. Firstly : Monsters with 300 Power Level, Level 1, if you are able to kill 5 of it, you pass. Secondly : Monsters with 600 Power Level, Level 2, Killing one of them in team, you pass. Thirdly : Monsters that shouldn''t be provoked with 1000 Power Level, Even Elite Camp struggle in teams to kill them. Level 3 - Better avoid. For Aizen, the first two Levels weren''t a challenge, but he didn''t really kill before, and it seems that this is the real test. a marine with only talent with no backbone can''t survive in this dog eat dog world. Aizen moved forward inside the forest, his right hand was at his waist never leaving his katana. Every recruit seems to choose one side of the forest, so it didn''t seem like he would meet one of them any soon. Suddenly Aizen ears perked up, as he could feel a malicious presence approaching him. That wasn''t him using haki, rather, his perception and battle awareness that could only be described as abnormal. Aizen didn''t bother to look behind him, as he unsheathed his katana, he generated a sharp icy cold aura, and sent a flying slash towards the red dot light that appeared in his line of sight. Slash, the sound of something being cut resounded in the air, followed by a thud. Aizen turned his face to look towards the ''hunter that turned to a prey'' and he was a little appalled by the sight. In front of him was Level 1 headless tiger. the tiger build was nothing to scoff at, bringing the tiger to the giant tiger level. about three meters tall and eight meters wide. there was still a white mist that kept seeping from the ice damage. In a place not that far from the forest, inside a building, Z, Garp and Gion along with some staff were watching the clean kill with an amazed eyes. "What a clean cut, He is already one with the sword at the age of 11! but what is it with the ice, did he eat some kind of devil fruit or something" Zephyr expressed his appreciation while wondering about his fruit power. "It''s not a devil fruit Z geezer, that''s his sword intent, isn''t that right Gion chan? Hahahahaha!" Garp was very pleased with this seedling, although there were some talented people, but no one could hold a candle in front of the boy. "That''s correct, Garp chan! I didn''t even thought he would delve this deep in the sword understanding!" Gion was really impressed, even her, wasn''t that lucky to understand an elemental intent, but at the same time, she was very proud of her disciple that didn''t cease to amaze her. The screen in front them showed them how Aizen hurriedly calmed his mind, and started looking for another prey to hunt. Aizen was still the modern human he is, as even killing an animal was quite the challenge for him, strangely enough, there was a cold power that kept calming and soothing his mind, that''s why he was fast in recovering his tranquility and calm. Aizen discovered that killing the tiger boosted his bar by 0.01 strengthened his body in the process. He felt as if he was gaining experience. He couldn''t help but comment inwardly if the orb wanted to make him some kind of Massacre Bringer. After that, Aizen gone in full mode hunt, Level 1 - Level 2, nothing took more than one slash with his sword. His Power Level that was at 600, coupled with his sword art boost, along with the increasing stats every time he killed a monster already brought his bar to 0.93% while the stress of killing seems to vanish as he adapted to killing (monsters). Aizen who discovered about the great use of killing monsters started getting greedy, and he already put the Level 3 monster in his sight, as he started going deeper inside the forest. Chapter 9 - Fighting Level 3 Monster At another side of the forest, Groups of recruits were either teaming up against monsters, or hunting solo with confidence. Those teams often attack Level 1 and play it safely. It would take a lot of time and effort so that all of them can pass, but that doesn''t stop them as the ?ssessment deadline was three days. Drake with his devil fruit Zoan was one of the recruits that showed a lot of talent in this trial, as his dinosaur jaw could even tear iron apart. Rooooar A desperate roar ranged out, and a monster corpse fall helplessly under the ruthless grip of Drake. "Another one down, with this, it''s counted as a pass!" Said Drake calmly, still his eyes were shining with confidence. He believed that he was the first to ever hunt five Level 1 creatures and passed the test. "Not enough! if I wanted to get enough resources and attention, I need to break my limits and risk it on a Level 2!" Said Drake with determination. His background wasn''t that clean to begin with, and if he wanted to be given some respect, he need to show his capabilities and worth. Aizen was still the same, in his way he met a lot of Level 2, but with his rising power and skillful sword, he didn''t wave more than once. Meanwhile he discovered a rather interesting thing. He was gaining insight to some of the rokushiki martial arts from the monsters. At first he was clueless about the reason, but soon he was able to make his deduction. The Orb seems to refine the monsters souls and extract their memories along with experience increasing the pace of its analysis, and as the bar filled, he was getting stronger, if he wasn''t wrong, he was about 700, and he power up in a rather undemanding manner. Tap, tap, tap. Aizen ears perk up as he heard foot steps approaching. He could guess that the person approaching him was a female just from the sound of her hurried steps. Meantime, the hurried breath coupled with thick sweat that fall in the ground only help in confirming her scared demeanor. Aizen finally could see a pink haired female teenager recruit that seems to be running away from something. The girl also was able to see him, and her expression changed to her worst one. "Run!!" Shouted the female, while heading with even more speed towards him. Aizen finally discovered the reason behind her fright. A relatively enormous looking snake creature was tailing her, however with his enhanced senses, he could feel that it''s toying with her, as the creature Level was the max that could be found in this island, and could swallow the girl effortlessly. Aizen put his hand on his katana, preparing himself for his first real struggling fight, but he was surprised, as the girl who approached him lift him like some sac of potato, only to run crazily once again while carrying him. The girl was a teenager version of Hina, using her combo ''devil fruit and guns'', she was able to hunt monsters easily, and her success started making it in her head inflating her with overconfidence. She choose to hunt some Level 2 creatures alone, but her bad luck just lead her to one of the overlords of the island. It was as if a cold barrel of water thrown at her while she was scorching with power and conviction. What made it worst was that she met one of her juniors while she was running away. A person with a strong belief of justice such as her won''t use her fellow trainee as a bait to escape, what leads to the current scenario. Meanwhile, Aizen was very distressed. "Big sister, can you please put me down, I want to fight that snake" Said Aizen with a soothing tone while looking at the girl with a calm expression. "Crazy Kohai? Level 3 overlord, Elite Recruits teams hunt ! Hina can''t understand!!" Hina almost fainted from shock, she looked towards her kohai with an incredulous look. Before Aizen could answer this mentally ill senior, they were already intercepted by the big snake that seems finally bored from teasing them. Aizen at the moment felt an intense throbbing coming from the orb, it seems if he was able to slay this monster great things would happen to him, he may even broke the 1% in a single breath. (0.94%) "Over ... Over ... Hina die v?r??n!" Hina started to mutter chaotically, while Aizen finally made his escape from her bosom. "I think this is where the hero show his power, and the princess fall in love" Said Aizen while looking at Hina strangely. He was already thinking about how she will throw herself in his hug after the end of the battle. Hina who heard him looked towards him not understanding what he was talking about, but behind the video dun dun mushi, a certain master forehead was bulging with blue veins unconsciously, while the two old geezers were laughing their ?ss off at his ???ky line. Aizen moved his sight towards the snake like creature that seems snarling at them while skillfully sheathing his katana. ''Ky¨­ka Suigetsu, shatter!'' Mumbled Aizen while posing his katana vertically in front of him. A glimpse of light went by unnoticed, and every being in his range was put under his complete hypnosis. The serpent creature was provoked by the action, and lashed out at Aizen while bearing its fangs maliciously. "Watch out!" Screamed Hina in horror as Aizen was frozen in his place without moving. The serpent made its way towards Aizen almost instantly, and in a flash, the fangs teared apart his head. Silence. Horror. Gion was the most affected as she saw her disciple head flying, and unknowingly a tear slid from her eyes. Her eyes turned hollow, and her bloodthirstiness exploded. Z and Garp stand up as they couldn''t understand what happened in front of them. To put it simply, someone of Aizen calibre could easily evade this attack, strangely enough he didn''t move. Hina face was shocked as she saw the frightening sight occurring in front of her while her eyes were reddening. She was desperate, only if she was strong enough, she wouldn''t have let that to happen. Everything happened quickly, but as the Vice Admirals group were about to move, they were shocked as the serpent was sent flying with a trail of bloody mist, destroying a couple of trees in its way. Aizen appeared magically behind the serpent, but he had a frown in his face. ''Haki?'' Murmured Aizen. Everyone were one again taken back as the boy was intact, still keeping his head. "Hahahahaha! This brat really knows how to make us worry!" Laughed Garp happily, as he returned his finger to his nose expressing his relief. "What was that?! Clone? Illusion?" Asked Zephyr with an incredulous face. No one answered as they were all the same. "Just you wait stinky brat! how dare you worry your master!"Shouted Gion while watching the screen with red eyes. She really thought that she lost him. Aizen was looking towards the serpent that started shaking ready to move, and something inside him broke. He was no longer the ''modern'' human that was skeptical when it comes to violence, his blood was now boiling as the fact that he found a worthy ''prey'' to hunt. "Big sister, it would be better if you leave this place, that guy is only slightly injured!" Said Aizen calmly while his eyes never left his ''prey''. Hina''s happy face was soon frozen, as her ears detected the sound of the serpent hissing. Hina was quivering as she retreated back, while inwardly, she was conflicted. The fact that she need her kohai to protect her, only made her beliefs and values broke, similar to a cheap glass. Aizen could tell, that it was using observation haki, but he was confident that even if it was so, he could still took that head off. Aizen was the one to move, using his soul energy, he imitated a shunpo-like movement, while used the other excess of power to strengthen his cutting and ice damage. The serpent was able to predict his attack, and what met his katana, was a sharp looking fang that was fortified with a black coating. ''Armamanet Haki'' Thought Aizen, as he redirected his katana path towards the creature eyes, taking it by surprise. For others it may be impossible, but for Aizen with his abnormal combat sense, predicting his movement wasn''t really a hindrance, instead, a possibility. His katana moved as he generated a loud air cutting noise, plucking the serpent eyes. Alas, the serpent was fast in defending as it closed its eyes and fortified its eyelid with Haki, nevertheless, his katana was able to injure it heavily, sending the serpent flying again. Seeing this, Aizen relaxed a little, but what he didn''t expect, was that the serpent used his own momentum as it waved its fortified tail, injuring him badly in the process. Thud, Boom, Crack. Sounds of explosions could be heard, as the level of fight between the two monsters were in another level compared to the recruits. Aizen destroyed a lot of trees under the sheer power of the serpent attack, but other than cowering, he only felt his power grow stronger while his regeneration perk made its work. Aizen coughed a little blood, his face was calm, but his eyes were shining with ardor. It was his first time taken such a damage. The Power of the serpent was about 1200, along with its haki boost, if it was another recruit, he would have turned to mincemeat, but his strong m?s??h?stic body only become stronger. He moved his eyes towards the bar only to find that he was already 0.99%. He supported his body to stand up, while trailing his eyes towards the serpent over there that was even more miserable than him. Aizen smiled a little, feeling the newfound power inside him, he smirked at the serpent, as it had no more value. "You did a great job little snake, Let''s end this!" The moment he finished his sentence, he was above the laying serpent head, exerting all his power on the sword, he channeled all his Sword Qi coupled with his weak haki coating that gained enlightenment to through watching the snake and the orb help. His Soul force boosted his attack even more, and in terrific sword slashing, he launched a flying slash towards the center of the serpent forehead. The crippled serpent couldn''t move its body as the last attack damaged its nerves. It could only watch as the slash passed through it, disappearing deeper in the ground. Aizen fall from the sky elegantly, as he sheathed his katana slowly. The moment his katana turned to his sheath, a magical scene appeared. The snake started to split slowly in two along with the ground, leaving a large crack in the forest that extended to a whole fifty meters. Aizen who saw this couldn''t help but whistle as he admired his destruction level, and soon the bar turned to (1.3%) Hina who was hiding a little back, was flabbergasted at her Kohai strength, but soon she recovered her calm. "Hina won''t lose!" Said Hina, as she run away, she didn''t have the face to meet the boy. In the observatory building, the staff were dumbfounded! even Elite Camp didn''t seem to have this kind of power. "Hahahahaha! what a scary little monster, he already touched upon the haki essence!" Said Garp without caring about the staff pale faces. "To think that a 11 year old boy already surpassed an Elite recruit, nevertheless, he is still tender!" Added Zephyr while his eyes seems to shine with unfathomable light, thinking of different training courses to mold this brat to an even stronger powerhouse. "That power just know already surpassed the 1000 mark!" Said a staff that was shaking, as he read the reports from the measurement machine. "Incredible!" "As expected from Gion Vice Admiral disciple" One of them didn''t mind ???k?n? some boots while possible. Gion face was mildly amazed, but the expression that seems to dominate her face was a prideful one. The Test continued for Three days, but Aizen wasn''t that interested, he got what he wanted, he only need to go in seclusion, and absorb his gaining. Soon, the test ended, and the recruits starts going back to the island harbor. Some were injured but happy, others were intact but gloomy, but that doesn''t matter anymore, as the warships already left the island. The ones who succeed were already apparent. Chapter 10 - Combat Assessment The Assessment time was finally over, while the sirens all around the archipelago reverberated all around. The recruits shadows soon started to lay in sight, as they returned to the harbor, some with triumphant while others crestfallen. "How much monsters did you hunt?" "Not much, but I expect some good news!" "What about you?" "None" "He, don''t worry, you still have a chance the next year!" "I heard that someone hunted a Level 3, is that true?!" "Bullshit! none could do that in the recruit camp, even Elite aren''t that powerful, it''s merely a rumor." The recruits were gossiping all around, but through their conversations Aizen that was the first to go back to the harbor, already guessed the true basis behind this test. It wasn''t just power level, it''s more about if you dare to draw blood or not. After the Orb broke through the 1% mark, Aizen got more informations about his orb, as it seems that the power of the this cheat allow him to break rules and cheat laws. Totally a fitting power for his soul type. The only detriment was that his soul power was innate and not trained, his body wasn''t stronger enough to harmonize with it and extract all its power, so he could only exert a portion of it. But he wasn''t really bothered. Currently, he can cheat 1 law, per example, break the curse of a devil fruit, ability to eat double fruits, awakening of a fruit, Immune to sea stone, Resurrection, Gravity control, Air control, Fire control... things that this world logic didn''t differ a lot from in his past world. As for Elementalization, it was something that didn''t have any data about, he didn''t see any one of the admirals in action. The more his bar percentage increased the more he will be able to negate more laws, and even manipulate. Aizen wasn''t interested in eating devil fruits, nor did he care about cheating the laws, but he didn''t mind gaining a new superpower such as Gravity to call upon meteors or Air Control to generate Disasters. Aizen that was focused in his own phantasy suddenly was pulled by the ears. "It hurts, it hurts .... Master, please stop!" A mad looking Gion was currently pulling him by his ears, while her eyes side were red only demonstrate how worried she was to the point of crying. Just the fact that he made this woman cry made Aizen felt proud. After all, who wouldn''t be happy to have someone that cared about him that much. He may have been looking to the characters of this world as imaginative, but the more he understand his powers, the more he treated them as ''real'' people, because for him, real or false, he is the one to decide, and the warmness in his heart was real. "You unfilial disciple, how could you make your master this worried! now spill it, what was that?!" Asked Gion with an irritated expression, while denied his request. "Ugh, please master, I''ll talk, I''ll talk!" Gion finally let him off after seeing his ''pained'' expression. "Hmph! Go on!" As she said that, two other geezers joined the conversation while looking to the boy as if looking to a jewel. that gaze brought the chill down his spine. "It''s my sword intent, I can use water to create either ice or mist, ice for attack and mist for illusions!" Said Aizen with a miserable tone, as he felt that he was mistreated here. The trio were somehow convinced, as it was the only explanation, but the cold look that his master still gave him left him unsettled. Soon, The results were revealed with Aizen having the first place. It brought a huge uproar, as he wasn''t that famous other than him having ties with the higher up, but the fact that he was a strong Vice Admiral disciple convinced the people here. They knew that Garp and Zephyr weren''t people that would employ underhanded tactics just to cheat them. "His name is Aizen? I heard he is only 11 years old! he must be a true genius!" "I heard about him, It said that that two months ago, he was brought to the recruit camp by Vice Admiral Gion, meanwhile, some recruits wanted to bully him, but he was still able to beat them up without any injuries!" "As expected of a Vice Admiral disciple! I envy him!" "Hmph! so what if he got the first place here, the next sparring trial is all what it counts!" "Right! I will make him look for his teeth!" "Hina Perplexed! you death seeker?" A lot of people weren''t convinced, other were mad with envy, some found the whole ordeal interesting such as Drake. He was a person with an overconfidence in himself, he only look towards Aizen as a stepping stone to show his worth. The Warships left the artificial island with the recruits on board, and made its way back to the headquarters. The people that got qualified will be joining the last trial - Combat Assessment. Marineford. Through the white stone pavement of the city, Gion dragged Aizen with her, as she refused to let him go. She was very perturbed as she almost lost him back then. "Master, are you ok?!" Asked Aizen worriedly. He knew that he was monitored, but at that time, he didn''t really thought that even the snail would be hypnotized. Gion didn''t bother answering him, she took him all the way to her private courtyard, throwing him in her bedroom. She carried on as she took away her marine attire. Aizen almost got a reaction down there while admiring her s?xy black lace und?rw??r, that ?r?t?? body. As expected from a sword master, every part of her body was carved, those white tights, that plentiful ?ss, and those jiggling b??bs ... Aizen lost his focus as he admired the creation of god. This peculiar scenery only fueled him to work harder and to master his power. "I''ve never thought that my little disciple is a pervert!" Said Gion, that was currently in her pink revealing pajama. From her tone rather than expressing letdown, Aizen that brought back from his reverie could only feel her delight. Presently, she was about 30 years old or so, but she still have the air of twenty or so maiden. Aizen really couldn''t scoff at her extreme self-regarding. "You are really beautiful master, when I grow up I''ll marry you!" Aizen didn''t mind play the child role that she regarded him as. He already knew that his master never really thought of him as a man, so even after he was laying in her bed, and maybe he will join her once again in her sleep just like the previous two months (If Tokikake knew about this, he will kill him), he wasn''t expecting more than that. "Fufufufu, Marry me? you are really getting bolder, aren''t you Aizeeen chaaan!" Gion giggled as she found her disciple getting bold lately. When she met him for the first time, she was really attracted at how cute and otherworldly his appearance was, plagued with her self-remorse and guilt, she took him with her. Later his m?tur? conduct made her find a way to atone her guilt, but the more she passed time with him, she like him more and more like her own little brother. But to conquer her, a haughty arrogant sword master, Appearance isn''t the right approach at all. Aizen also know this, because of that, he wasn''t really bothered at his master mocking. ''There will be a day when I''ll make you mine, master!'' Murmured Aizen inwardly, while he was hugged like a pillow by her. It was the same thing that happened to him the previous months, the trigger was the bullying, he still don''t know how to thank them. ''I wonder if Hina fall for me?'' following the world laws, princess always fall for the hero. Aizen didn''t take a lot of time before he slept as he was very tired. The next day, Central Square. Today the square was lively, The Combat Assessment will start soon, and all the recruits, City Civilians, some VIP characters, what''s more, Admiral Borsalino, Sengoku, Garp and Z also were there. A lot of recruits come from a marine background, children of Commanders, L.Commanders, Captains, Commodores, Rear Admirals, Vice Admirals ... The last time there was such a gathering was the time when Smoker with his logia fruit passed the test. Only, until now, Smoker didn''t really show any good sides other than depending blindly on his fruit, while showing a lack of discipline. It was one of the reasons Sengoku was doubtful after hearing about a ''genius'', this word only brought him bad memories. The Central Square was transformed into an arena like shape, as the crowd seats were divided into recruits area, civilians area, and VIP area. Meanwhile, the highest and imposing looking seats were of course reserved to the Higher ups (Admirals power Level). Sitting on a purple golden impactful chair, Borsalino was watching everything in front of him with a dull eyes. "It''s very lively down there, don''t you think so, Z sensei!" Said Borsalino with an excited tone, but his expression remained uninterested. "You brat! if you didn''t want to come, you shouldn''t have done so!" Answered Z with a cold tone. He wasn''t really comfortable around this arrogant disciple of him. "Stop making troubles!" Said Sengoku with black lines forming in his forehead. Hr didn''t really want to hear their couple bickering. "Z-sensei scary! Sengoku san, you know I hate troublesome things!" Said Borsalino with a scared appearance, while Z forehead were full of blue veins. "Hahahahaha! You can''t win against him at all Z geezer, Hahahaha!" Garp said with a mouth full of cookies. "Shut up Garp!" Sengoku appearance right now was quite the sight to behold. "Hahahahahaha! Sengoku, you aren''t fun at all!" Added Garp while teasing his comrade. Aizen down there in the arena, was looking towards Borsalino with fervor in his eyes. If he was able to make him take an action, he would be able to record his light element procedure and even manipulate it. He already thinking of plans to activate his ''Elementalization'' "Quiet down!" Z sound was heard through all the arena, and soon the noise stopped, and everything was calm, and that only demonstrate how respected he was. "The combat ?ssessment is a little bit different from the previous one, this one is to give a chance to the other people that aren''t convinced. A lot of you may be thinking that they were unlucky in the previous trial, so here is your one and only chance to prove your worth, power and talent!" The recruits started to shout happily. Still some of them were bewildered. That kind of line-up (Hero of the marine - Fleet Admiral - Borsalino Admiral) no way was here to watch them. Nevertheless, they were disciplined marines, and they wouldn''t question the higher up aim. "This ?ssessment is based on ranking, the recruit with the lower rank can challenge any other one above his rank. Of course, the challenged recruit won''t be challenged immediately after the fight." Z turned to the side and ordered a staff member to project the ranking list. Soon, the ranking list was on sight. It was the same ranking as yesterday, with Aizen at the first place, followed by Drake, a veiled man that his name was Shu, Hina in the fourth place ... There were 15 recruits that were able to qualify, and only the first 5 will be allowed to promote to the recruit camp, as for the the losers, they may wait for the next year, or graduate. "Let the competition begin!" Shouted Z, and following his order, The 15 challenged 14. The crowd then started the uproar. Chapter 11 - Blank The crowd in their seats were boiling with excitement as they watch the two strong looking recruits that ascended the arena. The referee in the center recited some ceremonial rules. "No killing, No heavy hands, let the match begin!" N¡ã14 lashed a at N¡ã15 as he felt that his own dignity was challenged, later a ''grand'' combat started. The fight in the eyes of the normal ''crowd'' looks heaven shattering, and every punch echo would draw cheering. Aizen at the side, couldn''t help but lament. If it was the past ''him'' of three months ago, he would have the same reactions as the scammed mob, maybe even more intense, as every punch of those recruits could even kill the strongest man of his former world. For the current him, their intense combat could only be described as ''kids brawling''. Aizen let his eyes trailed towards the other contestants, other than the veiled guy ''Shu'' that he recall his ability to rust swords, Drake the dinosaur and Hina with her iron shackles, others seems just to there fill the blank. There was another one thing that Aizen didn''t stop doing, and that was giving internal commands to his orb to scan Borsalino. The scan seems to be successful, but he will need at least hours if not days to be completed, and Aizen didn''t have that luxury, thereby he closed his eyes and with a calm and dull expression and started forming all kind of plans inside his mind while ignoring the clatter of the crowd. There were a lot of eyes on him such as Sengoku, Garp, Z etc... "The boy seems to be uninterested!" Said Sengoku meaningfully, but he was impressed, that only meant the boy was that confident. "Hahahahaha! of course he would! with his power even a fart could sent those two to their demise" Laughed Garp as he stated a simple ''truth''. "Only, this kind of attitude isn''t allowed! He must no belittle his opponent, or he would end up dead in the battlefield!" Z wasn''t approving, but he let it pass, as he would instruct him ''well'' in the future. "As serious as always Sensei, no wonder we couldn''t get along!" Murmured Borsalino from the side with an upset tone, but his dull face never changed. He never took his so-called sensei advices seriously even since they had a fight because of his devil fruit dependance. "Brat, someday, you will ended up with your ?ss kicked!" Warned Z from the side. The fact that Borsalino became an Admiral only by abusing his devil fruit created an internal conflict inside Z. Was he wrong? for him devil fruits must never be the main power, it should be an auxiliary system that only boost your main body prowess, but the fact that Borsalino was doing well, in addition to attain the Admiral rank, shook his beliefs was only an understatement. Back to Aizen. The moment he closed his eyes, he could feel that his analytical skills were off charts, he could come with different plans and situations, attain more than one goal with merely one action, he could even deduce repercussions that may tag along behind ''his'' every plan. That was something he never felt before, either was it because of the orb help, or because his soul was no longer that suppressed, he wasn''t bothered by the source, as it''s his ''own'', and that''s plenty enough for him. The fact that Gion was away from the island to complete some mission would help him a lot, as she was the only one currently that could see through his hidden intentions. Aizen thought that if he wanted to increase the scan, he may take a direct approach or an indirect one that may bring a lot of benefits. The direct one, was through manipulating a fight with one of the contestants, he would use the flow of combat, and attack Borsalino with a flying slash activating his passive Elemntalization. Such a plan would have been great for the ''past'' him, adding a simple sentence such as : "I just wanted to know the difference of power between us!" with a hotblooded tone, may bring the approval of Z and even Garp, but such a lack of discipline would end up offending a narrow-minded Borsalino and even Sengoku. Borsalino was described as a narrow minded person that would take his revenge on the smallest of things, coupled with his blatant nepotism, it wasn''t a wise action to take. Sengoku may not be bothered that much, but such an act of not putting an Admiral in his eyes and attacking him in front of the crowd, would only give birth to a lot of negative feedback, and Sengoku as the crafty person he was, he may turn wary of him. That left Aizen with a risky plan, but along with it, came a lot of benefits, and even a ''future ally''. Aizen commanded his orb to start passing him the control of ''Gravity Law''. Gravity was the same concept with earth, which made it easy to crack with the current 1% ability of the Orb. Calculating the stamina needed, he came up with the conclusion that he would end up with low level stamina after launching his move. but that was expected, he already have a plan. This action may be dangerous, but he was confident in the power of the marine to alleviate the threat and protect the innocent populace. As everything was planned. Aizen started his first performance in this World. "Winner N¡ã14" The referee announced the result, and the crowd cheered. As the referee was about to announce the next battle, a sharp scream was heard all around the arena, taking everyone by surprise. Turning their heads towards the source, everything was baffled as a young man from the recruit batch was hugging his head while screaming. His face was pale, and it seems as if he was having a grievous headache. Garp, Sengoku, Z and borsalino were taken by surprise. What happened to him? The ''screaming'' boy was of course, Aizen, he already depleted every section of his stamina to call upon his gravity law. It was a wonderful feeling as he was able to see the ''planet'' from an eagle eyes, even the outer space, and that was the moment he ?ssimilated that knowledge. Hidden from the crowd, his jet black ''irises'' eyes gained another dark purple circle, that surrounded his dark pupils, and that the insignia of ''Gravity Law'', but soon disappeared as he was already disconnected. Aizen supported his body, and with a scared expression, he look towards The Admiral section Seat. With a despairing expression, he shouted with a frightened tone. "Admirals Sama ... Help ... it''s ... Coming!" Stuttered Aizen dramatically. "Hm? What is this boy talking about?" Said Borsalino with a scary tone, but inwardly, he was on guard. He could tell that something creepy is going to happen, call it his instincts, but he was sure. The only doubt was that where is the attack coming from. "The boy, seems to awaken his Observation Haki, The question is -" Said Zephyr while his hands was clenched. He was also having a bad foreboding. He knew the boy senses were high, and the fact that he was this alerted, only meant a great danger stimulating his body. "What kind of trouble is coming!" Said Garp solemnly, while Sengoku clenched his teeth. he could feel the air around him solidify. Aizen moved his finger while trembling, and signed towards the sky, that started to turn dark, as if the sun was setting. The uneasy crowd that felt the sudden change, turned their sight towards the darken sky, and their eyes couldn''t stop bulging, while sweat started falling in buckets! "Me.. Meteors!!" Shouted someone of the crowd with good eyesight, and the arena turned chaotic. Some were screaming in fright, others were paralyzed, There were even some pissed their pants at they felt themselves doomed. God''s Wrath! that was the only thought inside their minds. "Scaaaary! Sengoku san, It''s not just one, there are 7 meteors, that will be troublesome! What kind of monster are we facing?" Said Borsalino with a scary expression, but he wasn''t fazed like the crowd, he was overconfident in his power. "Damn! How dare they attack the headquarters!!!" Shouted Sengoku with bulging blue veins in his head. He felt as if the marine dignity was humiliated. "Shiki? or another monster? those fire trails, it seems that they were summoned by some devil fruit powers from the outside space!" Added Garp solemnly, he was already arming his love fist with haki. "There are 7 meteors, the other two, would be able to sense the change, and join us soon!" Z deduced calmly as the flaming meteor could be seen reflected in his eyes. The first one to move was Borsalino, as an Admiral, and also under the unintentional urge of Aizen, he just couldn''t back down. Borsalino body turned to light photons, and Aizen orb started recording crazily. Fuut. Borsalino disappeared from the audience platform, only to appear in front of the first meteor. Yasakani no Magatama - ''Comma Jewel of Eight Shaku'' bypassing the destruction, he already started charging to the next meteor. Behind him, Sengoku Turned to his gigantic buddha form ''Golden Buddha'', his abnormally large arms were put in defending pose, while his relatively tiny legs were exerting power, as if he was preparing to charge, the moment the debris were on sight, he unleashed a strong shock wave from both hands, sending all the debris away from the marineford Island. Garp passed by his side, as he treaded on air itself approaching one of the other incoming meteors, Clenched his black colored hand, and intercepted the meteor in a frontal attack. no tricks, only a fist, the flaming meteor turned to dust. Z on the other hand stood in front of the shocked crowd, alleviating any danger approaching. The atmosphere suddenly turned cold, as an incredibly tall, slim, yet muscular man made his appearance, stepping on frozen air as he approached the other meteors, who is it other than Kuzan? The moment he came into contact with the falling meteor, he hugged it strangely while muttering. "Ice Time" The Meteor flames started to release smoke, as its flame shell disappeared, and what was there after seconds, was a giant ice boulder. Kuzan distanced himself from the falling ice boulder, and joined Garp and Borsalino, taking care of other Meteors. Great Eruption -Daifunka! A sea of magma in the shape of an arm appeared from one side of the headquarters turning the whole Ice boulder to crystal rain. Sakazuki stood there in his red attire, while gazing at the sky with an angry expression. "How dare you shame our Justice!" Shouted Sakazuki towards the sky. He didn''t know who was the attacker, but he swear that he will find him. The attack formation of Borsalino, Garp and Kuzan, coupled with the defensive one, Sengoku, Z and Sakazuki alleviate the threat, but everyone of them was burning with anger. The crowd that saw the mythical power of the admirals, couldn''t stop cheering and shouting all kind of praises and eulogy. Some even look towards the sweating Aizen with gratitude, and was even hailed as the little hero of the marine, as he was the one to alert the admirals. Coupled with the fact that he awakened his ''Haki'', no one forced him to attain the combat ?ssessment, as they knew in their hearts that he was qualified. Chapter 12 - Aftermath The ?ssessment continued, but the crowd weren''t that impressed at all after seeing the power of the admirals. The Admirals won''t normally reveal their power, but the threat level of that ''Meteor Shower'' forced them to. Sengoku left the square along with Borsalino and Kuzan the moment they succeed in defending that ''Disastrous Attack''. Sengoku was ?ssured that whoever attacked must be nearby, so he hurriedly move to inspect every suspicious civilian in the island, and secondly, he wanted to conceal those disgraceful news. If people knew that the headquarters were attacked so blatantly by an unknown criminal, trampling their dignity and face in the process, their reputation would be on the ground. Sadly, They weren''t able to find any suspicious person, so Sengoku could only declare a hunting warrant to every one with gravity-based devil fruit. None even thought for a second that the little ''hero'' was the ''criminal''. Despite Sengoku efforts in hiding what happened, The spectacular ''Meteor Shower'' was even seen by some passing-by pirates or merchants. "Big News" Morgans with his influence and relations was able to get a wind of the exact news, only to be printed at the first page of the next day newspaper. The News Coo flying around the world shared the specifics of the incident. Titled as ''Big News : The Navy Headquarters under Attack, who is the culprit?'', the rest of the article was all about how seven meteors fall from the sky, and almost destroyed the whole Marineford if not for their readiness. The article also mention, rather, predict about to the '' probable motives'' of the attacker. Aizen also got his small space in the article as a brave and talented marine recruit that helped saving the marineford, his otherworldly appearance made the maiden all around the world fall in love with him, and keep his portrait. "Oyaji.. did you hear the latest news?" Shouted Marco towards the Whitebeard, his tone could only described as " schadenfreude". "Gurararara! Sengoku, that bastard must have offended some monster!" Whitebeard laughed uncaringly, for him, it doesn''t matter, because he is Whitebeard. It''s that simple. There were different reactions all around the world, as even though the incident was shameful, the power to call upon meteors and the power to stop it, let the normal people, and even some inspiring pirates to be frightened. Fish-Man island. A large blue whale shark fish-man, stocky build and an ''Oni'' face, was sitting in a palace like building, in front of him was a coelacanth merman, the king of the Ryugu Kingdom on Fish-Man Island. The both of them were reading the newspaper with hardened expressions. "Did you finally decide, Jinbe?" Asked Neptune, as he knew precisely the reason behind this ''person'' visit. "Neptune Sama, I agreed with W.G Terms, I will be soon leaving to the Navy headquarters to accomplish the Shichibukai final Procedures." Answered Jinbe with a determined expression. "Then, I could only hope luck for you!" Said Neptune as he watched Jinbe gratefully. Grandline - Juruiqa Island. This was an island that was famed with its gambling attractions and black market, a Paradise for gamblers and people that look for rush, p???sur? and entertainment. It was said that it was under a very influential person in the underworld, and even marine won''t lay their feet inside this ''holy land''. In one of the darken streets of this Island, the sound of a staff tapping on the earth could heard, as a short dark hair, a mustache, and a beard blind man appeared there. he has an X-shaped scar centered on the left side of his forehead that stretches over both eyes. The blind man suddenly opened his eyes showing his peculiar white eyes that lacked pupils. "To think that someone has the same fruit abilities as me, I think I should lay low this days!" Murmured the blind man, as he continued diving deeper in the black street. Marineford, Convention Room The room was intense, as every one of the higher up (Admirals - Vice Admirals ) present people were showing a solemn look. The staff behind them were already gulping their saliva under the sheer pressure they were releasing. ''It was hard to breath!'' "Damn you Morgan!" Shouted Sengoku with loud tone. "Calm Down Sengoku, The matter was very hard to conceal, not with that meteors formation that everybody could see from miles. Well, it''s not bad thing, It may look like we were defeated, but the admirals power capable of stopping this kind of Disaster class attack will cower a lot of pirates." Said Tsuru wisely. she was the only one, except for Garp, that looked unperturbed. "Any news?" Sengoku turned his face towards one of the staff, but other than sweating hard and shaking his head, he said nothing. "The ?ssailant must not be a pirate, pirate won''t made such a haphazard movement, rather, they wouldn''t even approach the HQ. That left us with the Revolutionary Army, but even them aren''t our direct enemies. Hm, another faction? but if so, they would have declare themselves. A personnel matter, revenge maybe? or rather a probe? I just can''t fathom the reason behind this attack at all!" Tsuru showed a puzzled look. She can''t come up with any logical explanation. She already started to suspect that maybe it''s a coincidence. "We won''t go anywhere if we didn''t find the culprit first, it doesn''t matter, we are here to discuss a more important matter, I just got a report from the Gorosei, Jinbe accepted the offer, and he will be coming soon to end the last procedures." Said Sengoku, while throwing the matter behind his head. "Ara ra, Jinbe? he agreed?" Said Kuzan with a strange tone. "Jinbe, Sun pirates captain? another frightening individual, scary!!" Added Borsalino from the side. "It doesn''t matter, he only need to act his role, the dog he is!" Said Sakazuki, for him, as long as he was loyal to the system, he wouldn''t bother. The W.G already accepted his candidate, even if he didn''t like it, it would still happen, why would he bother. Garp by the side suppressed his laugh. Hearing Sakazuki talking about dogs, coupled with his nickname as the ''red dog'' sounds hilarious for him. The meeting finished, but the investigating process never cease. None of the people inside the meeting could forget the shame of what happened. Gion Courtyard. Aizen was laying in his master bed comfortably, the bar in front of him made quite the jump. From his previous 1.3% all the way to 4.6%. He got a lot of informations from the performance of the admirals level geezers. He was now able to understand the ''Elementaliztion'' Law, and even the light that was obscure for him, Garp Haki complexity and one of it''s last application: Ryuo. The moment Garp blasted the meteor, he channeled his haki outside his body, and plus armoring his fist, he charged some of his haki inside the Meteor destroying every particle of it, turning it to dust. Sengoku shockwaves, Sakazuki magma, Kuzan Ice, Z martial arts. The only detriment, is that his power increased crazily, that he wasn''t able to use it efficiently. If he wasn''t wrong, he was already at the peak Rear Admiral and newbie Vice-Admiral Level with 3900 soon 4000 power level. Aizen then used his Orb to seal some of the excess power of his body to help him adapt in the next days, months or even years leaving only about 1600-1700 near Commodore Level. Powers with Laws as source would be easily ?ssimilated by the orb, and he would be able to understand it easily. such as Gravity, Air, Magma, Sock wave, Ice, Light, Darkness .... But for Martial Arts or Sword Arts, he would need to use his own perception, the orb would help awaken and stimulate his body, but the later, needs his own perception. He also discovered that Haki has a great relation with his own soul, so the moment he would awaken his Conqueror Haki (Haoshoku), he is afraid that he may end up destroying this planet. For Sword Arts, he was already at the peak level Beginner, almost intermediate. If he met some Sword God that used law, he may be able to understand it instantly with the help of the orb, but as the most stronger person in this world is not even a sword heart expert, he would need to work hard. Aizen was already informed that he was accepted as Elite Recruit, and was ordered to report a week after the end of the competition, so he could only train in seclusion in this week, and harmonize with his power. Seriously, he already registered Suru, Geppo, so the other four arts are his target. Aizen didn''t belittle any art, he already have a plan to accumulate all the martial arts - swords of this world, and create something that never heard or seen before. Per example suru, sonido and shunpo, what kind of footwork he would end up with. Now with his 4% filled bar, he could already rewrite a part of the Law, and upgrade his Kyoka Suigetsu to a ''real'' complete hypnosis, bypassing even the Haki system. But he wasn''t in hurry. There are still a lot of things to learn. He didn''t plan well what would happen in the future, so from now on, he would only show a part of his power, and copy the three admirals achievements, so to not bring wariness from the higher ups. After all, if he shows a great power that couldn''t be controlled by them, he would not know if he would grow up easily. The three admirals may look strong, but to be treated as dogs by the Tenryubito while the admirals are happy to work for them can''t be explained by shrugging. There must be a terrifying power hiding in the shadows, and he wasn''t ready to face them any soon. The week passed peacefully, as other than waving his sword and training his body, studying haki and testing some of the newfound laws such as light that he found cool. There was some news that Jinbe was accepted as a Warlord, Boa Hancock ignored the navy call-up, so other than Mihawk and Kuma none came to the meeting. Along with it some fish man prisoners were released from impel down. Arlong included. "If I''m not wrong, the next year would be Doflamingo. Through blackmailing the W.G, he would be settled as Warlord, while the year after, Arlong would Attack Nami village. If I''m able to graduate early, I wouldn''t mind use Arlong as way to accumulate merits." Aizen started planning his future, and decided to use the knowledge of timeline to climb up the ranks. But first, he would need to graduate. Chapter 13 - Elite Camp Marineford HQ - Fortress. Aizen stood in front of the mighty fortress, only amazement and appreciation could be seen from his deep black eyes. Today was the day to report to the elite camp, and coincidently, the camp was located inside the fortress. Aizen finally understood the meaning of ''Elite'' before ''camp''. Elites are already counted as the core of marine base and its future powerhouses. Sadly, The mightiness of the fortress and its lavish training centers didn''t attract young people, as every talent choose to walk the pirate road, leaving the marine corps with only average talented people. Aizen in this week grow up a lot, as his body muscles were chiseled, and his height already surpassed 170cm (160cm before), and his tender face started to roughen. His current appearance made him appear like any other teenager in the training camp, Aizen himself was a little surprised at the fact, maybe when he turn 18, he wouldn''t wonder if he already passed the 190cm mark, not that he mind, after all, his master was about 185cm. Every s?xy woman in one piece world was that tall, if he wasn''t taller, he would be ashamed. "Aizen kun?" As Aizen was watching the giant fortress with an unfocused expression, he heard someone calling him. Turning his head, he was surprised as he met with another interesting character. A slender, curvaceous young woman in a navy mentor attire. Reddish-brown eyes and dark blue hair that cascaded over her shoulders while framing her face. She had a serious look on her face while eying Aizen. From what he understood from her eyes that spoke volumes, was that she wanted him to validate his identity. "Yes, and you are?" Asked Aizen, but inwardly, he was reminded of the massacre that will happen in 4 years of time. Z passed his whole life accumulating merits and training disciples, a former admiral, but at the end, he wasn''t even spared when he lost his value. "My name is Ain, I''m a disciple under the care of Z sensei, and also a mentor!" Answered the meticulous Ain with her poker face, but deep inside, her admiration couldn''t be hidden. After all Aizen was the little ''hero'' of the marines. "Let me guide you to the elite camp training ground!" Ain started walking inside the fortress, and Aizen tagged along. The inside of the fortress were even bigger than what appeared from outside. There were multiple floors, and it seems that every one of those floors had some kind of utility. Inquiring Ain, she told him that the higher floors were the offices of the Admirals, the fleet Admiral along with the Vice Admirals,Training facilities, resting rooms and conference rooms. The middle floors were for the Rear Admirals and Commodores while the lower floors were for the Elite camp and the intelligence network (bounties, reports, communications monitoring...) As the elite camp was in the third floor, it didn''t take much, and as Aizen suspected, he saw one of the early presented marines in one piece, Smoker with his cigar. He was currently getting reprimanded by Z. "Idiot disciple, I told you thousands of times that there are plenty of ways to kill you, your smoke ability may make you feel invincible for now, but that''s it, the moment you enter the real world, you would ended up as a corpse!" Z shouted the last line, it was full of meaning, but Smoker didn''t really buy it. "Sensei, I''m confident in my ability, I heard that there is a rare metal that''s called ''sea stone'', If I was able to accumulate merits and get some forged to a weapon, I would have advantage against pirates even if they were devil fruit users!" Answered Smoker, Sea stone was something that only the navy and the W.G have in hand, there is of course sea stone in the black market, but as it was pricy, not many people could buy it, while the government could produce it easily. (Vegapunk) Z forehead was full of black lines as this disciple don''t seem to understand at all. But Aizen was a little bit confused. The way smoker spoke could only mean that he has no idea that a power called ''Haki'' exist. Z turned away to look towards the coming duo, and his face couldn''t help but turn delighted. He turned again towards Smoker and said. "The new elite recruits, did you met them in the training grounds? what do you think?"Asked Z strangely. "Weak, They couldn''t even touch me, there were two interesting recruits, one with a Zoan fruit, but other than defending for some minutes, he couldn''t guard more than that. The other one with rust fruit damaged my weapon, that''s why I thought about forging one with sea stone to cover my weakness." Said Smoker, the last part surely made him pissed. either way, he was the same as the dino boy, he couldn''t take a beating. Smoker was like the king of recruits here, with his logia power, he was someone with good future, under such an environment, it was no wonder that he was arrogant, still he was not a bad person either, just flatly honest. Aizen turned towards Ain and asked her the question that bugged his mind. "Ain Sama, this white haired boy, isn''t he a little idiot? he don''t know about haki?" Asked Aizen in a weak voice, only for Ain to hear. Her calm facade was almost destroyed hearing such a cute boy calling her ''Sama''. She who could control her emotions quite well almost lose it all, but she didn''t deny it, she quite like it a lot. "Aizen kun, it''s not strange, one at least need to comprehend the superhuman six style martial arts to get to know about haki, not everyone is knowledgable or talented to awaken his haki, so a lot of elite recruits graduate and they still didn''t master the six styles!"Answered Ain without showing any annoyance. Aizen finally understood, the six arts truly seems to be haki basics. Tekkai for hardening, Kami-e for dodging, while the other arts focus on footworks (Suru Geppo) or swordsmanship (Rankyaku, shigan) Seimei Kikan for better controlling the power. The more he thought about it, the more amazed he look. It may look random, but every art accomplish the other leaving the one without shortcoming or weaknesses, no wonder rob lucci was that overpowered. "Aizen boy, come here!"Z suddenly shouted towards Aizen, who walked towards him. "Yes Z sensei?" Asked Aizen, while inwardly he could guess that Z would use him to trash Smoker. "At the island ?ssessment, you seems to be able to use that ''mystical'' force, right?" Z asked profoundly. "Hm? yes, although I''m not really skillful, I still have 50-50 chance!" Aizen answered ''truthfully''. He would never say that he already master the basics, and could harden a part of his body. It wasn''t some great achievement, but for someone of his age, having 50-50 was already top genius. "Smoker, how about fighting Aizen?" Asked Z with meaningful look. "Ho, so you are the one that was called ''hero'' lately, I heard that you awakened some mystical force that could allow you to sense danger? a power that could only obtained by Vice admiral, but that''s it, even if you sense danger, you would still get beaten up." Said Smoker not putting him in his eyes. It was a teenager jealousy, as even though, he said that, his side eyes never left Aizen. Aizen of course wouldn''t put a weakling nonsense such as smoker in his eyes, he could faintly understand why Shanks would listen to other people insults while not showing a reaction. He was an emperor and yet. It was that simple, no one would care about ants. Smoker may be a good character in one piece, but currently he was only a brat with a narcissistic disorder. Aizen still didn''t change his expression, but the ''Sama'' that he liked to use, was degraded to ''kun''. "Smoker kun was it? I don''t really know why you are so arrogant, but it should be better to tune it down, Z sensei didn''t ask us to spare, he is blatantly asking me to beat you up!" Aizen said calmly while still keeping a polite smile on his face. Z and Ain were both taken back. Z was impressed how ruthlessly honest the boy was, along with the fact that he added a kun in his talk, that only shows how Aizen look down on Smoker. Not power, but character. Gion always praised her disciple as polite, and would always add sama to anyone he respect or appreciate. The fact that Smoker was labeled with a kun, already put him beneath his respect. Ain on the other counterpart, was shocked, she never thought that the polite boy would have a second facade. Smoker hearing Aizen words, almost lost his calm, it wasn''t because he knew the secret behind the suffix, rather, he could feel a degrading intent. The boy was deliberately looking down on him. Turning his head towards Z sensei, he didn''t hear a retort, quite, he seems to approve. Losing his last shred of calmness, his waist suddenly turned to smoke, and his upper body moved with a fast speed. It didn''t take more than second to appear in front of Aizen, smirking ruthlessly, he launched his arm like a missile towards the boy ''pretty'' face. Aizen calmly raised his finger, and stopped the fist with a simple finger. the finger was imbued with black mystical power (Haki). Smoker failed to understand what happened, He is a logia, how could he be touched? did the boy finger armed with sea stones, that must be it! His feeling was like a roller coster as he was apprehensive, confused, as inexperienced he was, just the fact that something that he didn''t know appeared in front of him throw his whole body in chaos. Ain was amazed, it seems the observation Haki wasn''t the only merit of this boy. "confused? scared? is that your all?" Asked Aizen calmly, but his taunt was clear crystal. The young smoker face turned red with shame, he took his hand back, while his teeth clenched hardly on his cigar, almost tearing it apart in the process. He started launching all kind of attacks. This time Aizen didn''t move from his place, he only titled his head. Smoker attacks focused on Aizen face, because, that calm face pissed him off. He wanted to punch it. "Your attacks are even getting weaker than the first attack, Smoker kun, aren''t you a little bit shameless thinking that you only need a sea stone weapon, and you could rule the world?" Taunted Aizen, but the way he said it could only described as friendly advice. His calm face and polite smile on the other hand only appeared like a demon from Smoker point of view. "Aaaaaah!" Screamed Smoker as he launched his most stronger attack. "Ok, let''s end this, I still have some lessons to take." Aizen calmly raised his leg, predicting his attack pattern. Smoker only saw a black shoe in front of his face, then it was dark. Smoker body that crashed in Aizen right foot, was sent flying towards the training ground, destroying a lot of dummies and tools in his trip. Ain gasped, that was smoker the ''king'' of the elite camp, he couldn''t even put up a fight? Z wasn''t surprised as he expected, but he didn''t thought that it was that easy. ''The brat Observation haki is strong, he got even stronger this week!'' Exclaimed Z internally. "Z sensei, I think some merit points won''t be much, right?" Aizen said towards Z with a polite smile, Z was a little bit dumbfounded, but he soon started laughing. "Little brat, I think I owe you that much!" Z said happily. not minding this audacious side from this little prodigy. Z wanted to use Aizen as a sharpening stone to get Smoker stop being arrogant and train his martial arts more. Aizen didn''t mind as he knew that Z didn''t really think badly of him, it was an unconscious move, without bad intentions. Aizen didn''t mind to help, and he may almost broke Smoker in the process. But if he was that soft, It''s better to be broken. Ain blinked her eyes as she couldn''t understand what the two of them were talking about. Z took Aizen towards his office while Ain left to tend her own tasks. The two chatted a little, Z was really a kind hearted man, he explained everything about the camp to Aizen, and answered his doubts about ''merit points'' that heard Smoker talk about. Merit points could be redeemed as martial arts, devil fruits, weapons, informations... It seems that every month, there would be recruit combat ?ssessment / speed competition etc... (something similar) and the winner would be granted points. Every recruit that showed a good character, discipline and improvement would be granted some too. Z was the one responsible of distributing those points. Also every year, Z would take them out to hunt some pirates, to get a feel of a true battlefield. Aizen merit points made him able to redeem 4 martial arts, so he choose the lacking ones. Precisely : Kami-e - Tekkai - Rankyaku - Shigan Haki Training wasn''t really something to be teach in the elite camp (Vice Admiral classified knowledge), but Z promised him that he will personally train him. The Camp didn''t ask the recruits to come everyday, you can use the training center freely, and Z would only guide from time to time. Only people with potential that could catch his eyes would be treated as true elite disciples. (Smoker - Ain ...) It may be favoritism, but the resources are there for talented people, wastes aren''t that privileged. The world laws may differ from a world to other, but there is always one kind of rule that doesn''t change. (Jungle Law) Aizen left Z sensei office, and went back to Gion empty house. The people looked towards him with awe and respect. All the glory that Smoker accumulated in years was stolen in a blink by him. Pathetic... Aizen smiled politely while nodding. The bar in his sight seems to come into a bottleneck, as the scanning seems very slow. It would take at least a year or so to broke through the 5% mark. He may have to go look for islands with weird climates or probe the Whitebeard quakes, or Big Mom Soul Fruit. He was also interested in Marco phoenix power. Having those blueish wings would look cool on him. Aizen couldn''t help but smirk, but the people that passed by his side thought of it as the most innocent smile. And just like that, a year should soon pass by. Chapter 14 - After a year Aizen passed his year meticulously, and his gains were plentiful. His sword training, just focusing on his basics pushed him all the way to the intermediate level, while his sword intent only grow steady and powerful. He already upgraded his Kyoka Suigetsu Complete Hypnosis to the ''seven senses'' level while adding ''Ice law'' to his sword. But that wasn''t all, he exchanged some of sea stones using his merit points, and the result as expected, he was able to ignore it completely, because what he manipulate was the pure laws not a power with ''price''. The fruit seems to brand the soul of the ''eater'' with a curse, and that''s why sea water and stones would be its ban. It''s kind of a system that keep balance. Aizen didn''t really understand what is it about, but The orb bar seems to show some distinct increase. (5.3% Currently) His upgrade also used the data of Sea stones and other metals to fortify his katana to the limit. Currently, he was confident to say that his katana didn''t lose to any of 12 Saijo ? Wazamono swords in sharpness, or even surpass them. His soul power that nurtured his sword, and even imbued it with a law and a foreign power from other world would surely be the best. He wouldn''t be surprised if the Katana turned to a real Zanpakuto any time in the future. Fortunately or unfortunately, he still didn''t test it yet. But, he was pretty sure that every swing of the katana would freeze a large part of the sea just like Kuzan. The only harm was the fact that he needed a lot of his stamina, but that won''t be a problem in the future, as the more his body broke his limits, the easier it would become. After all, this is an Admiral class attack. His six style arts was also trained to the extreme. He even created fusion between Armament Haki and Tekki fist, that power could only described as frightening. Observation Haki with Kami-e accomplished each other, as he could avoid the moment he predicted, but he wasn''t really interested. He had a mystic eyes that could slow the flow of time, and detect weaknesses and fatal points. To improve his haki, he needed more data. Suru, Geppo and shunpo along with sonido were also brought to existence by his own warping power. His footwork now was like a teleportation, and although it sounds epic, he couldn''t control it at all, not with his suppressed power under 2000 power level. 5%, coupled with his strong body that could now harmonize a little bit with his soul made that technique creation possible. Aizen soul was really mysterious, he would have been able to do what he wanted, but the moment he was discovered, he would be suppressed. Thanks to the orb, he could bypass the laws alert system, and this is only by 5% of the world understanding towards the world. Still, he could be described as a lucky bastard. If he wasn''t in a place where stronger people common, he would have need to make great efforts so that he could record some Law data. not everybody is Admiral level in this world. Aizen appearance didn''t change much. He choose to seal his (Vice Admiral Lv Power 5000) and only use what he could control (1800), and he suspected that was the reason. But for others, he only appeared as a great genius with an Admiral potential. Gion Courtyard - Training room Klang! Klang! The sounds of swords clashing could be heard all around the room. Gion was donned in a dark brown shorts and black heels along with a frilled collar and an open neckline that exposes her cleavage, on her left th??h was the familiar black spider tattoo. "Little Brat! where are you looking at?!"Shouted Gion at her disciple, while sending him flying along with katana. Aizen stand up from the ground using his katana as a support while smiling wryly. Gion left for about a whole year to tend her own tasks, and she just returned today. Aizen was very happy to met her again, sadly it seems that her way of showing her feelings seems very forced. What he didn''t know was that Gion almost throw away her tasks when she heard about the accident that happened in the HQ, but after reading the part where he was hailed as a ''hero'', she finally took a breath of relief. "Not bad little pervert! Already Intermediate level!" Said Gion calmly, but she was very happy to see her own disciple progress. "I''m not a pervert master, you are! Who would wear such an outfit and not want others to look at!" Aizen mumbled while finding his master quite unreasonable. Gion heard her mumble and her face darkened. "Little brat, I see that your boldness just climbed another height!" Said Gion menacingly but Aizen could only describe her pose as a cute. Seeing her intimidation was inoperative, she couldn''t help but sigh in defeat. "When?" She asked while trying to control her emotions. "Tomorrow!" Answered Aizen nonchalantly. "Stop act like it''s nothing, I heard that you bully your seniors in the elite camp, it must be great having confidence in your power, but do remember Aizen chan, if you show weakness, hesitate, or even have mercy ..." She didn''t continue, she didn''t want to think about it. "Enough being dramatic Master, and stop raising flags will you? plus there is Z sensei there, and although I didn''t kill a human being before, I''ll work on it!" Aizen knew very well that tomorrow, he will be forced to take a human life. Any show of weakness would cost him his life. He also understand that his master thought that he was traumatized by his past, not only her, Z sensei and every higher up that pried on Aizen ''past'' informations was concerned. If there was a shock, it would be better to be discovered early and be treated immediately. Aizen ?ssured his master that he wasn''t really traumatized, and that his memory wasn''t blocked because of some kind of trauma, Gion then was a little bit relieved, but that''s it. The master and disciple that night shared the bed together. Aizen felt that his master was abnormally clingy, but he didn''t mind. The warship left the Marineford harbor under the lead of Z sensei. There were a lot of people that come to watch the fun, and there were a lot of maidens that expressed their love towards the little hero. Aizen only smiled at the soothing scene, and he was finally able to calm his troubled heart and mind. "So, you are finally able to calm down?" Asked Z from behind. "Z sensei, since when did you find out?" Asked Aizen. "What are you talking about? this whole month you seems unfocused, even your master came to me this morning and asked me to give you Xtra protection. I know that you aren''t afraid of a fight, but rather, seems that you''re troubled about something! What is it?" Asked Z. "I''m not really afraid of fighting, I even doubt that any of them could even injure me, I''m bothered by the fact of taking lives." Said Aizen while sighing. He was still a modern man from earth. He may have called upon meteors, but he knew that nothing bad would happen, as even if the Admirals couldn''t do a thing, he would have stopped the whole operation. "Hahahahaha, You''re really a brat, aren''t you?" Laughed Z in appreciation while sipping from his liquor. Z was also a man that wasn''t really violent, he would even spare lives, and believe in justice. (If you didn''t get justice now, you''d still get it later) he had a firm belief. Seeing his expression, Aizen couldn''t bring himself to destroy his fantasy. Aizen wasn''t interested in Justice and Evil, he knew that such concepts are broad. He only fear the feedback from taking a life. Wouldn''t he turn to a psychopath at the end of the day. Aizen soul was strong enough to destroy worlds if he choose to, but he didn''t, he only took refuge in the void. It''s just like fearing to break a toy. Feeling the uneasiness of his master, the orb, started sending soothing energy to calm his mind. Suddenly Aizen laughed a little. He felt the whole thing ridiculous. ''Why is he even thinking about all this? let''s kill first, and question life later!'' Seeing Aizen laughing, Z that ended up with his own ideas also laughed along with him. "Don''t worry Aizen boy, the pirates that we are raiding are the trash of society, the worst of the worst, if you kill one, then you have saved a lot of people. I don''t say that you must kill every pirate, everyone has his own belief, everyone has his own justice. But this test needs you to take that step, because in the future, if you were to face this choice, you may lose your life in the process!" Aizen nodded as he felt that his words held quite the wise vibe. Only, Aizen doesn''t pursue Ideals like Justice and stuff, he only pursue power, immortality, and his own satisfaction. why have power and limitless life span if not to enjoy yourself? He took his decision, and he felt as all those previous thoughts seems nonsensical. ''I do what I want to do! even concepts can''t stop me, what are a bunch of ants life count in the whole scheme of things'' At that moment, the planet seems to stop. His Conqueror Haki awakened for the first time. Aizen raised his eyes to meet with Z eyes, only to be surprised. Everything seems still, the only thing that seems alive other than Aizen was the orb itself that seems to congratulated the owner, for taking his decision. The Orb scanning jumped strangely 5.4% 5.6% 5.7% ... only to stop at 6%. Only at that moment, the planet returned to its track. It was the most magnificent Awakening Aizen ever seen. No one lost consciousness, they were all under his mercy, trapped in the concept of time. Aizen knew that to duplicate such a sight, he would need to work harder, his current Haoshoku would only be more strong than others, he didn''t know what level, but he would test that later. Z felt something wrong as if his eyes blurred a little. but as he was drinking liquor, he shrugged it, as he continued advising Aizen. Mary Geoise ... IMU sama couldn''t sit still. He was one of few that felt the turbulence. To think something ''he'' could not understand was happening inside territory. For a person like ''him'', that was completely privy about everything, and always felt as the god of this world. that was unacceptable. He hurriedly called for his five dogs, he needed to find an ''answer'', sadly, he will only be disappointed. The warship soon approached the island that would be raided. It seems that island natives seems to be slaughtered, maybe even enthralled. That was this kind of world. The debris and the ruin could still describe how of a cheery place the island was before the cancer known as pirates invaded it. The recruits seems to change their expression. Tense, nervous, angry, bloodthirsty... a mix of emotions. As the recruits were seniors and juniors, the seniors seems to be more experienced, so they weren''t shaken like the new ones. Aizen let his eyes trail on the ruined island. He was different than his recruits, with his haki and senses, he could see more. "Z sensei, I think this is a trap!" Said Aizen as he looked towards Z sensei. "I know, and you need to walk head on to it!" Answered Z with a smirking expression. Some of the recruits already started to cower back. walk directly to a trap? wasn''t that crazy. They weren''t sure they would survive even if it was fair fight, if they walk towards a trap, only death awaited them. Z didn''t mind, he already told them to back off if they didn''t want to, but who would be able to throw his dignity and do so. Seeing that no one choose to retreat, Z started speaking. "Black Sparrow Pirates, Captain Black Sparrow, bounty: 45 Millions Berry, the others are merely trash, but as I said before, don''t let your guard down, even trash can kill you if you blinked an eye in the battlefield!" The recruits started to walk inside the trap with trepidation. Aizen choose to go alone, while others choose to create teams. Smoker as he was trashed all the year by Aizen still didn''t want to admit defeat, so he choose to go alone also. It wasn''t just him, Hina, Shu and Drake all suffered under his hand and they all came to the same conclusion. Only by passing this test single-handedly could they be call him a rival without shame. Aizen first searched for explosives in the island. he can ignore them if he turn to light, ice or magma, but what if they were monitored. He can''t believe Z would send his students to their death. Aizen doubted that this pirates were forced to come here to play their roles and dies for the good being. Strangely, he didn''t find any explosives, rather, he found pirates hiding in the ground with cheap knifes and rusted swords. There was no way that they were a pirates crew with 45 Million Berry bounty, this must be a role game when the recruits disguised themselves as marines while the pirates get slaughtered in the process. It was merciless, but to actually put into this game, those pirates must have been really unlucky, but they may be the dangerous type also. a mad dog was a hard opponent to deal with. Aizen took his katana out, and waved for the first time towards a human being with the intent to kill. Splash, a head was sent flying leaving behind a trail of blood. The pirate didn''t even know how he died. Aizen watched the sight of the head rolling in the sky, while his eyes shone with determination. He felt like those cultivation main characters that swear to kill buddha and gods if they come their way. ''Killing, it wasn''t that of a big deal I suppose, maybe just because rules prevent us, that''s why we don''t lashed at each other, now that rule gave me the right to kill, I don''t feel bothered at all'' Aizen sound out like some psychopath in the making, but he totally believed that humans were really that type of creatures.If not so, how did they rule the world? The monitors in the observatory cabin showed the scenes of the recruits struggling against pirates, or beheading them. The pirates were weak, starved and thirsty. It was impossible for them to kill any recruit, even the so-called 45Million Berry leader was only better than the rest, and soon he was also slaughtered by Drake. Z couldn''t help but sigh in relief. "Everyone passed the test!" Said Z as he look towards the monitor. He could see Aizen reaping heads like a farmer. He didn''t know if that was good or bad, at least, he didn''t show any crazed look, he was very calm and composed, but that even scared him more. Chapter 15 - Apply For Graduation Grand line Sea. A navy warship was sailing slowly towards the HQ. The ambiance inside the ship was at its max, cheery and merry. The recruits that just passed the yearly ?ssessment were celebrating having a banquet, even Z joined the fun. They danced, singed, feasted and drink liquor. Aizen stood at the deck of the ship while watching the blue sea in front of him. From time to time, he would take a look towards the recruits and sigh helplessly. He didn''t know if they were idiot or simply didn''t care, but a large part of them, even some seniors still thought that they really fight a dangerous death match against the pirates. Of course, not everyone was that moronic. The whole ordeal was for them to gain confidence in their power and experience through an artificial death like situation. Aizen was approached by Smoker who didn''t say anything, and only enjoyed the sea breeze beside him. "Aizen brat, I think I''m gonna apply for a graduation." Said Smoker. He was also someone that passed a lot of years in the Elite camp. Such ''fake operations'' weren''t new for him.In his earlier times, he was also tricked, later he suspected, but now, he was sure. He felt that the only thing that was valuable in the camp was trashing by Aizen, maybe, embarking to the real world is the answer. He didn''t blame Z, rather he respected him more for protecting his disciples, but, he wanted to face the real world by himself, not with Z behind protecting him. Aizen saw the maturity and determination inside Smoker eyes, and couldn''t help but tease him. "Ho, Smoker kun finally grow up to Smoker san! I''m proud of you Smokey, Trashing you wasn''t for vain after all sniff sniff" Aizen started feigning proudness and ecstasy while crying tears of joy. Drake in the distance, Shu and Hina also seems to think about the whole experience. Everyone had their own thoughts. The moment they heard about smoker intention to graduate, they were a little bit surprised. "Hina Confused!" Said Hina by the side. She didn''t have any informations about the graduation process. The other two were the same, they knew that the lowly rank a graduate can have was a captain. but that only after having breaking through the 1000 mark. Under Aizen trashing, everyone of them improved by leap and bounds. The fact that their pride and confidence shattered again and again, put them in no place to show off, so the whole year was passed in training and sparring. Even Hina wasn''t spared from Aizen, he always believed in equality. "Let me explain that for you!" Said Z from the side with tipsy tone. The attention of the recruits focused on Z, as he continued. "Why do you think Elite Camp is called ''Elite''? The camps are there to estimate and ?ssess an individual talent. and only a talent that show some characteristics could be promoted. Common camp recruits that graduate without making it to the elite camp, are already counted as somehow talented people, so their lowest start point would be Lieutenant, Lieutenant Commander, Commander and may promote to captain due to a large accumulation of merits or ''seniority''. Elite camp batch are different, you can graduate the moment you achieve the 1000 mark, but that''s not all, Elite camp recruits can stay in the camp for years if they want. Ain per example, do you know why?" The recruits were also confused,''yes why?'' "It''s because Elite camp recruit had a special prerogative, the more you grow in strength, the better your rank turn to be. Aizen per example if he graduate now, he would end up with up with Commodore Rank, only under Rear Admiral, which is by the way the max you can achieve. To promote to Vice Admiral, you need merits and commendation." Explained Z to the surprise of everyone. "What is the process of graduation Z sensei?" Asked Aizen, he was now a little bit interested. He always had trouble thinking of how he would accumulate merits from a captain to Vice Admiral, but now with this privilege shown in front of his eyes, it would be a lie if he wasn''t tempted. "The graduation is divided into two steps (three) - Fitness Test, and that''s the easiest one. - Defeating or securing a draw with the Marine Rank you apply to. (Captain - Commodore - Rear Admiral) - Hunting a Pirate with bounty of 40 Million Berry for Commodore, and 60-100 Million Berry for Rear Admiral. Captains are exempted from this test, and that''s why a lot of people choose to only take the easy road, and amass feats slowly to promote." Said Z, while he continued sipping his liquor with a happy face. "Sensei, I still insist on taking the graduation test!"Repeated Smoker. "As stubborn as always brat! fine, when we come back, I''ll help you apply for it!"Z sighed, he really couldn''t think of any thing to convince him against it. What a shame! he was supposed to have a potential of an Admiral, sadly not all Logia that impressive. "Z sensei, I think, I would apply for that too!" Added Aizen too from the side. There is no way he would waste his years in the Headquarters under watch. "I think you should wait until your power reached the Rear Admiral, you are only 12 years old after all!" Z refused letting this gem waste such a chance. "And why do you think that I''m not at that level yet?" Aizen smirked with a dubious look, taking Z by surprise. Aizen already conciliate with the excess of power inside him, he can at least attain the Rear Admiral Level without any control troubles. The other recruits gave Aizen an envious look. To think that he was only 12 years old, but he was that strong. Talent only deepened the inequality between individuals. Hina, Drake and Shu also showed a slight dismay, but soon, they steeled their determination. They won''t give up! "Hahahaha! I didn''t think you were that secretive brat!" Z smiled happily. He wasn''t that shocked, but still amazed at the progress of the boy. The feast continued, while Smoker and Aizen were both promoted to ''honor guests'', where the recruits done their best to lick their boots. It was one of those calming and soothing situations which Aizen liked the most. It didn''t take much of days to the warship to return to the headquarters. There were already people waiting for them to congratulate them! "Aizen Sama, Please look this way!!" Shouted a cute maiden, as her eyes darted out to form a heart shape. "Aizen Sama, congratulations! I love you!" "Welcome back little hero!" Under the maidens confessions and the males malicious eyes, Aizen smiled warmly while greeting everyone. He was already promoted to the marine mascot boy. Z already told him that he got some hardcore fan bases all around the sea. Aizen felt like cavendish, only, he was s?xy and manly while the other one was beautiful and girlish. ''Heavenly Yaksha! What is he doing here?!'' All the recruits were trembling in fear at the presence of this man. Smoker was sweating hard while clenching his fist, he could feel his body tremble under the mere glance of the man. The others weren''t doing any well, it wasn''t that the man was pressuring them, it''s only his unrestrained regal aura. some of the recruits already arced their back to bow in front of the man, their eyes tremble at the thought of meeting his eyes. A light blond-haired, pair of curved, thin white sunglasses with red-purple lenses. He was very lean and muscular man with tan skin, dresses in flamboyant flamingo animal theme type clothes. his clothes are brightly colored, with his light pink feather coat most distinctly of all. He walks with an odd, bow-legged waddle towards the bunch of recruits with a nefarious smile on his face. "Fufufufu, ''Black Arm'' Zephyr, Former Admiral! glad meeting you!" Said Doflamingo while totally ignoring the trembling recruits. "What are you doing here Doflamingo?!" Asked Z with a tense tone. he already have some doubts, but he choose not to believe in them. "Fufufufu, It seems that you lost more than your family -" Doflamingo was immediately interrupted by a man with a black mohawk and a mustache. He wears the standard marine uniform, consisting of a purple and white pinstripe suit with a coat draped over his shoulders, along with a flower-shaped katana in his right hip. "Shut your filthy mouth, Doflamingo!!" Shouted Momonga in rage. Momonga Vice Admiral was really started to get pissed off, he didn''t know the reason why the W.G would made this kind of dangerous person as warlord, but there must be some deep intentions that he wasn''t informed about. But, that''s is it, the pirate didn''t seems to care about their marine at all. He could feel a despising and degrading look from him although his eyes were covered, even so, he didn''t mind, but to actually talk with this manner to Z a former Admiral. He couldn''t ignore him anymore. "Fufufufu, And you must be the famed little ''hero''?" Doflamingo totally ignored Momonga sudden outburst, as he trailed his sight towards the calm person within a bunch of scared rabbits His tone was as if he was talking about some joke. "I''m surprised you know about me Mr?" Aizen answered with a calm innocent look, while questioning the identity of the clown looking man. Doflamingo forehead bulged as vein after vein started appearing, but soon, he calmed himself. "Fufufufufu, It seems you aren''t a joke after all, I''m Donquixote Doflamingo, a current warlord better remember it in the future!" He thought about skinning the boy, but he didn''t want to offend the marine any more. He shouldn''t push his luck anymore. "Nice to meet you Doflmaingo Sama, I''ll remember you!" Answered Aizen with a polite smile on his face. Doflamingo finally understand why would Monet and Sugar keep his portrait. He was Damn handsome to the point that Doflamingo feel troubled. (Gay Doflamingo? shiver) Doflamingo passed by the recruits group, and left towards the harbor accompanied by some Vice Admirals that escorted him. Z face was black, he hurriedly left the group, Aizen suspected that he must be looking for Sengoku. Aizen knew that it was the time Doflamingo would make his move on the Tenryubito Heavenly tribute, but he didn''t expect to met him this early. Aizen found him as an interesting character. by this time, he already started to concoct and devise his great plan. One of the characters that knew a lot about the one piece world, and the most scheming bastard of them all, hard to deal with with due to his multiple layers of protection. He must have already start executing his plan. First overthrowing the royalty in Dressrosa and hailed as a ''hero''. Aizen suspected that the reason ''he'' find the whole ''hero'' thing as a joke, was because of his plan. Second, expanding his underground business, relations, and influence under the protection and the help of the W.G, he was unstoppable. Z soon returned to the training grounds with an ashen face, he was day by day losing a portion of his trust in the justice that he always believed in. Other than that, he already bring some good news, Smoker and Aizen requests were approved, and they would start their graduation process two days from now. Chapter 16 - Top Swordsman Gion Vice Admiral Coutryard - Training room. "Little Brat, I heard that you already applied for graduation, are you that confident?" Said Gion a she moved to meet his katana wave. Klang! "I am, master, don''t you feel the force behind my offensive blows?" Said Aizen while rolling his eyes. "Little brat, you know that what I meant is hunting a 100 Million Berry Pirate, I still think that you aren''t prepared enough, why don''t I go to annul your request? Sengoku san wouldn''t mind." Reassured Gion while redirecting his attack. If there was someone in this world that could make Aizen smiley appearance crumble, that would only be his master. Her overprotective behavior that was developed since Aizen''s Island Assessment, only got worse with time. Aizen who already unsealed a whole (1300 power) bringing his raw power to 3200 (Rear Admiral) was able to control the newfound rush of power easily. His body grow up by (6-7cm) and his face m?tur?d also and that''s only in a mere day. No one really was alarmed as his change went unnoticed. He currently look like a 16-17 years old, he got more s?xier and comely, as he also discovered that his body didn''t have a so-called ''age'', the more he got stronger, the more his body would grow up and his muscles would only get more defined and chiseled. At first he was alarmed to end up like Edward Newgate with large build and no beautiful woman to ''appreciate'' other than Big Mom, but it seems that he could decide his ''suitable build''. The training ended with Aizen convincing his master about his capability to protect himself, as he was able to take more than 500 moves from his master. Gion left with satisfied expression. She was now more relieved, at the fact that he could drag it all this time in a fight with her. His armament Haki was impeccable, his instincts were sharp, his footworks seems to be refined and most importantly, he was approaching the ''Top'' third level of the sword. Her disciple almost approached her sword level. Beside feeling prideful, she also felt a sense of shame, as she left mortified in a hurry. Aizen suspected that she will go into a long seclusion to breakthrough the next stage ''Master''. HQ - Sengoku Office. Today Sengoku office was lively. Garp was there eating his cookies while Tsuru was discussing about something along with Z that seems upset. The three Admirals were also there. They were quite curious about the little ''hero'' achievements. "Z, stop sulking there like a broken hearted woman, and elaborate!" Sengoku shouted towards Z that seems to ignore him. He felt as if he was speaking to a moody child other than a solemn Former Admiral. Z refused to look towards him, and continued to chat with Tsuru, while Garp was laughing his ?ss off. Sengoku face was soon filled with all kind of weird shaped veins that threatened to explode. It was a clear sight that showed how pissed he was. "Damn Z! do you think I was the one that went to recruit him?! I''m merely acting upon orders from the higher ups! I''m even more helpless than you!" Sengoku shouted with an indignant tone. After all, he was the one that killed Rosinante. Sengoku was more upset than Z, but he could only act upon orders. He already started to understand why the former fleet admiral kong seems in hurry to gave him his position. Z face finally eased a little. "Sigh, that little brat just passed the Fitness Test, His raw power already on Rear Admiral, his speed is even more exaggerated, that I doubt he will lose to any new-pointed Vice Admiral. His Sword Level is approaching the Top / Vice Admiral Level, his stamina already neared the admiral level, as for his regeneration perk wasn''t tested, but it must not be any worse than any admiral." Said Z while ignoring the astonished faces of the others, he continued smugly. "His Armament Haki is already at Vice Admiral Level, but it seems that he doesn''t use his observation haki that much, he told me that he trust his instincts more than some half-baked observation haki, but I suspect that his Observation ''Haki'' quality must be that rare one ''Glimpsing in the future''!" Finished Z his rapport, while enjoying the gaped mouth of Gap and Sengoku. The other three admirals were surprised too, but they were also similar, the only difference is that they joined the marines with bigger ages than him (20-26). "What a terrifying Kohai, I presume!" Said Borsalino while feigning extreme horror. "Arara, to think that he was able to make this progress in a year, soon, he will start having bottlenecks, 10 years or so, he will already able to stand on the same level as us if he continued working hard!" Kuzan expressed his admiration and appreciation towards the boy talent. "I heard that he had a bad past with the pirates, why don''t you appointed him under me, I''ll be sure to teach him the might of justice!" Added Sakazuki from the side, frightening every one there. ''One maniac is enough!'' Everyone on the room seems to come to the same understanding. "How was his first time killing look like?" Inquired Sengoku while totally ignoring Sakazuki as if it was natural. "Well, that is the interesting part, he was troubled for a whole month, when I asked him, he told me that he wasn''t afraid of fight or pirates, rather it was the weight of taking lives. But it seems that he ended up with his decision. He was the one with the higher killing rate in the mission, his eyes when he was beheading pirates seems devoid of any emotions as if he was eying insects, it''s may be worse, and that''s a little bit troubling!" Said Z with a deep tone. "That''s the most dependable way to stratify justice!" Said Sakazuki. "Coming from you Sakazuki, I''m only more troubled!" Answered Z, drawing an explosive laughter from Garp. "Don''t worry Z, the fact that he was troubled only speak volumes of his true nature, the incident with his eyes devoid of any emotions must be his way to lessen his guilt by taking their life classifying them as eyesores, insects, or even savage monsters" Tsuru reassured him for the side. She was very close with Gion, and she heard a lot of things about her disciple from her, she even met him several times. The boy was polite and peaceful, never arrogant, even his bullying was under the command of Z, and more importantly such a talent, even if he was troublesome, it wouldn''t matter. Look at how rotten the three admirals look like, comparing with them, he was more amiable. Sengoku by the side also nodded his head. Suddenly as if he remembered something, he couldn''t help but show a strange look. "Hm, what is it Sengoku?" Z was the first one to react. "I just remembered that one of the Tenryubito princesses asked the Gorosei to appoint him as her guard for sometimes after graduating." Said Sengoku with a twitching lips. Garp at the side almost choked on his cookies, looking at Sengoku incredulously. "Puuuf! Sengoku, you bastard! There must be something more to it!"Said Garp, he knew that his comrade wouldn''t have accepted something like that. "Well, The Princess Royal father seems to have a Zoan Mythical devil fruit - Dragon - Amphitere Model with unknown capabilities and would be glad to pass it, so I thought maybe it would be great if the boy have it." The last part was said in small tone. As he felt that everyone was looking to him with unbelievable eyes. "You bastard! You sold a talent for a devil fruit!" Z lashed at him. "What are you talking about? the girl seems to be spellbound and enchanted by him, it''s his fault for having a good-looking face." Mumbled Sengoku. He was also surprised that one the world nobles, the descendants of ''God'' would be interested in ''him''. "Sengoku Fleet Admiral, the recruit Aizen seems to have some problems, he won''t be able to finish his graduation process."Z immediately thought of putting an end to the graduation. Sengoky lips twitched more intensely again. "You don''t have to worry, he still have some years ahead before he could be appointed at Marie Geoise, at least until the Vice Admiral Rank!" Said Sengoku weakly while his head started aching. The three Admirals were having different feelings. Isn''t this a little bit damaging? They were in the marine all their lives, they were heroes, and yet, they were only able to meet the celestial dragons after becoming Admiral. A trifling kohai was able to get a princess (CD) guard job. Just the sheer of relations and influence he would have may even surpass them as Admirals. ''So it was all about the face'' Sighed the three, as if they pry upon the truth of the world. Aizen was having his combat against Momonga Vice Admiral. Aizen opponent wasn''t even able to take a mere blow, which lead to this scenario. Vice Admiral Momonga that was here as a witness to the fight was dragged by Aizen to the ''ring''. "Not bad, little boy, Your bravery is commendable, but you are still faraway!" Said Momonga as he waved his coated haki sword. Aizen didn''t bother talking to him, from his Pov, Momonga was a mere sharpening stone to use. The Katanas kept clashing, and Aizen seems to get better and better, the more they clashed. Momonga was powerful with a great raw force and skillful mastery of the sword, but Aizen was better than him in footwork, and that was the reason that Aizen could still keep up with him. For Aizen, improving was the only goal, as for Ranks and what not, he only found them as a efficient way, to increase the process. Momonga face started to redden, and his head started sweating. He could end the fight in a second, but he didn''t want to injure the boy in the process. He could only continue to be manipulated under the combat flow that Aizen set. Aizen could behead Momonga in an instant if he wanted using one of his trump cards, but that wasn''t interesting, he wanted to max all his capabilities, and evolve to a perfect being. The Sword Qi in both Katanas were lashing on each other, while Aizen was overwhelmed and thrown back every time he met Momonga sword. The recruits and the beaten up Rear Admiral watched the fight with awe. Smoker beating a Captain class was overshadowed with what was happening in front of their eyes. "Ok, Stop!" Come the sound of Z, as he choose to save Momonga from the flow he was thrown in. Momonga still couldn''t accept that the whole battle, he was under total control of his opponent, the shameful part was that the other contestant was weaker than him. Aizen smiled politely towards Momonga, a genuine smile. Top Swordsman. He could finally called himself a Sword master without shaming the katana in his hand. Z send Momonga away after consoling him, and passed a batch of bounties rewards towards Aizen. The next day, Aizen left the navy headquarters in a marine warship. Grand line Sea - Drubak Island, that was Aizen destination. Chapter 17 - Blank Aizen was presently laying on a sun lounger while bathing in the sun light. He would from time to time take a sip from the fruit juice in his right hand. The life of a marine higher ranking was a relaxing life, pirates would run away at the mere sight of the navy flag. The warship was build with the most advanced technology, there was the better chefs ever along with some beautiful nurses that would inspect their body periodically. Seriously, why would all those people struggle in the sea and live a life full of running and fear, other than joining the marine and have a good time. Aizen was still not graduated, yet, he was treated with care and respect. Sengoku personally conferred him with the best warships there, coupled with more than three captains ranks and hundreds of marines that were under his command. Aizen expected them to throw some tantrum being under a ''brat'', but it seems that they were very disciplined. Suddenly, above in the sky, a News Coo appeared with a bunch of newspaper, the ensign hurriedly took some, paid the bill, and passed one news paper to Aizen respectfully. Aizen opened the first page of the newspaper, and he was surprised. It was news about the sea train project, and there was even praise about Tom and was hailed as genius. Aizen sighed helplessly. It was only the start of another tragedy tale. Turning to the second paper, his eyes corners couldn''t help but twitch. There was a new portrait of him half n?k?d waving his sword. What surprised him was the fact that it seems that he already have his own weekly space on ''Morgan News'' as one of the s?xiest men in one piece, and his pictures were a very good selling product. ''Morgan, you bastard, you must have gained a fortune!'' Mumbled Aizen with annoyance. to think that his pictures would be this pricy. "Aizen Sama, The island is on sight!" Shouted a marine ensign from the observatory. "Ok, stop here!" Said Aizen while ordering them to stop. The warship soon stopped. The marines on board were having confused look. Aizen was wearing his White Arrancar suit, the only difference is that there was a black navy symbol in the back. He looked valiant and imposing to the point that the confused marines didn''t dare to question him. "This is my own task, it would be cheating if I had to get your help!" Said Aizen calmly with soothing smile on his face, blowing the apprehension of the marines that looked more relaxed now. They were giving him respectful gazes, even more than before. Aizen nodded, and soon disappeared from the board of the ship, leaving everyone baffled. "Strong!" that was the only thought that they had in mind right now. Aizen footwork was very powerful, he was able to cut half of the distance, about 3 miles in a blink of eye. "Let''s test ''that''" Murmured Aizen. Soon his body turned to photons of light, and he disappeared from the blue sea, only to appear in the sky above the center of the island. Gazing down, he was able to understand a little. The Captain ''Iron Head'', Iron Head Crew Pirates, they were acting like ''hidden'' royals in this island. The Captain seems to be a very shrewd and very careful person. Always securing his way out, and have more than one ''plan B''. Activating his observation haki, he could feel that there were tunnels underground to facilitate running away or hiding from the marine patrols. Turning ''Invisible'', a power that was called upon by his soul force, he easily pass through walls, and approached the base of those hiding pirates. He ignored the small fries and knocked them out with his Haoshoku silently as he headed towards the big head. The moment he approached, he was surprised to hear the mention of a name. ''Crocodile''. a candidate that would join the Warlord soon this year or the next. After getting his ?ss owned in the new world by the White beard, he returned back to the paradise to lick his injuries. The W.G approached him, but he still didn''t give an answer. To hear his name called here was a big surprise for Aizen. "That Damn Crocodile! To think that he would play us!" An enraged scream could be heard from inside a room. Aizen entered the underground room, and was surprised again, as he saw one of the most s?xy women in One Piece. Devil Child - Nico Robin. "Captain, I still don''t understand, What is that map refer to? One piece treasure?" Asked an idiot looking guy, as he looked towards his Captain. "More precious! It''s the location of one of the most powerful Weapon in the world!" Said The Captain while his eyes were red with rage. The Iron Head started talking about The Poneglyph and some secrets that he only knows. Robin beside him acted clueless, but her ears seems to perk up. Aizen find her actions very cute. She was about 20 years old, her hair was long and framed her eyes. She wears a black robe with a big white hat in her head. From the actions of the Iron head, it seems that he wasn''t aware of her Identity. Robin suddenly stand up, and went out towards a liquor trunk. Aizen found her actions suspicious, but soon he understood, as she took a purple looking bottled liquid from her magical br??sts, and started calmly tending the unaware pirates. Robin seems to finally able to get the piece of information needed, and this group no longer useful to her. The same result happened to the others pirates. Aizen finally felt that a powerful heroine must look like that. She doesn''t need the prince to save her. And she didn''t finish yet, she took a detonator from her magical br??st again, and bombarded the whole base. She already surrounded the whole base with explosives. None was spared. As Robin sighed in relief, and was about to leave the base, the sound of clapping could be heard behind her. Robin face turned pale, and turned hurriedly. In front of her a rather ''famous'' person was standing there. He was hailed as the s?xiest marine in the world. She know him very well, her heart skip beat in fright as the thought that the marines surrounded the whole Island. Her eyes that flashed with myriad of thoughts, only to be stopped when she found out that he was alone. Calming her mind, she looked towards the teenager that was about 180cm tall. "How can I help you little boy?" Nico Robin decided to play it safely, but hearing his next sentence throw her in another fit of dismay. "Nico Robin, Should I call you Robin Onee-sama?" Said Aizen with a teasing tone. To think that this woman would made his mission that easy. Not to mention, that he didn''t mind help her, he was also curious about the part that they were desperately trying to hide. "Don''t worry Robin Onee-sama! I mean no harm to you, rather I''m interested in you, How about you join my own ''Faction''?" Said Aizen with a warm smile, but that only confused Robin even more. "Little boy, are you mistaking me with someone else? I''m not the one you look for!" Robin forlornly denied. "If I''m not mistaken, your next step would be looking for Crocodile, you will try to use him, getting closer to your goal : Poneglyph. Am I right?" Asked Aizen again. Robin felt as if she was n?k?d in front of the boy that stands beside her. She didn''t even thought of attacking him as she felt she would lose in a second. her intuition as a woman never disappointed her. Seeing that Robin still silent, he continued. "I''m sorry to disappoint you, but other than a'' boring'' weapon location, there is nothing of value written, I was there before." Said Aizen, well he didn''t lie, he saw everything. "What? you can read them too?!" Robin Lashed at him dramatically as she lost her calm, and her eyes were red as if she was shaken by something. Memories of her past that haunted her. "Come with me! I will break that curse of yours, I only need your loyalty!" Said Aizen while giving her his hand. "Loyalty? are you ridiculing me? didn''t you just see how I ended the lives of my own ''crew'' mercilessly?" She could only see his words as joke. "Do I look like your own ''crew''?" Asked Aizen dumbfounding her. "What is it that you want Nico Robin? Is it protection? I can easily do that for you! History? even that is possible besides me, the question is, Nico Robin, Do you have the loyalty I need to trade this privilege?" Asked Aizen. He was really impressed more and more. She didn''t accept readily which means that she was taking his offer seriously. If she said yes, ok! He will have to wait readily for a knife in his back. "How would you Protect me?" Asked Robin with a downcast eyes. "Take this!" Aizen created a ruby like necklace that was imbued with his Complete Hypnosis. With this necklace she could move freely all around one piece world without being detected. "What is this?" As an archeologist, she found that the ruby like ornament was quite peculiar. "I called it ''Freedom''! with this ruby you can even go to Marineford and no one would know you are Nico Robin" Aizen explained the uses of the necklace to her taking her by surprise. She was in shock, if that was true, she could follow her passion without fear. Truly a befitting name ''Freedom''. Aizen wanted her to act like his secretary, he found the whole ordeal exciting. Nico Robin moving as she wanted inside the Marine Headquarters, and even getting respected by Justice maniacs. That would be quite the sight. Nico Robin was more excited than him, to think that she will be able to rummage all the knowledge hidden inside the marine headquarters and even Marie Geoise. On the way, Aizen let her test the power of her power on the civilians, and she was excited like a little girl. playing tricks on people. she felt as if she tasted the true freedom. Aizen hugged her and turned to light shocking her in the process. That was an Admiral ability, to think that her boss was that resourceful. She was more and more certain that her boss was a mysterious person that would someday shook the world. Her woman intuition never let her down. Aizen took her to the warship, and ordered the marines to fetch up the corpses. No one ask about the beauty in board. Robin was excited as she was able to ignore the marines without fear of being caught. The marines hurriedly finished their task, and Aizen also reported his achievement through the den den mushi. From now on, he will be called Rear Admiral Aizen. Chapter 18 - Promotion - Rear Admiral. Aizen and Robin already returned back to the Headquarters, Robin was all tense at first, but as she caught on the lack of hostility from the marines, and rather, the envy of the females and the respect of the masses, she breathed in relief while still in disbelief. To think that a day will come for her to be respected by navy soldiers. The headquarters was lively as ever, and as Aizen was an eye candy, he was greeted by the happy cheers and the love confessions wherever he passed. He already dismissed the three captains behind him, and started walking towards the fortress along with Robin. Sengoku already told him to come to his office after his return, so he was doing just that. "Captain? are you sure no one will notice my disguise?" Robin was very tense and excited, at the same worried if someone could see through her cover. "Don''t call me Captain, Robin Onee-sama! just call me ''Aizen'', adding a Sama, would be more than I could bargain for!" Teased Aizen while choosing not to answer her doubts. He was that confident in his power. The duo advanced towards the fortress, and under the salute and greeting of the officers, they made it to the higher floors. Fortress Highest Floors. "Please this way!" Sengoku was already informed about his arrival, so Aizen didn''t even need to ask and was led by an officer to a door. And in a a couple of minutes, he was already led inside a vast looking room. Robin tagged behind him, while keeping her eyes lowered. The moment she gazed upon the interior of the office, she was frozen solid in her place. She already started to suspect if she was led to a trap. She felt like crying. Turning her head with difficulty towards Aizen, she could see that his lips was twitching. Sengoku ''office'' today must be the most packed ever. All the higher up officers of the marine force were present here. The moment the door was opened, everyone of them turned to gaze towards the ''Honor Guest''. It seems as if there was a feast today, as the lavish dishes and liquor was all around the room. "Brat, hurry up! they will eat your share!" Garp said with a face full of food. He didn''t sound convincing at all. "Congratulation little pervert!" Congratulated Gion, with a glistening tears on her eyes. She was very proud of her disciple. "Nice outfit boy, you look very imposing on it!" Added Momonga from the side. He already forget what happened, and didn''t mind building some good will with the boy. Sengoku couldn''t help but nod. He also didn''t mind having a ''cool'' looking uniform similar to that. The others also showed a taciturn smiles while nodded their heads towards the boy. They weren''t familiar with him, and they were also afraid of offending him. "Arara, who is that young lady behind you?" Asked Kuzan with a strange tone, he didn''t know why, but he felt as if the girl trembled more the moment she heard his question. Robin only changed her appearance, so her clumsy reactions didn''t went unnoticed by the monsters here. Aizen was unperturbed. He answered casually. "She was kidnapped by the pirates I killed. It seems she lost her family, so I asked her to become my secretary!" Aizen prideful tone that changed to blinding sense of justice convinced everybody. Yes! they are the justice. Even Sakazuki found the boy pleasing to the eyes. The feast continued as Aizen and Robin joined on. People from time to time would try to leave a good impression baffling Aizen. He didn''t understand what''s going on. Turning to his master, he asked her quietly. "Master, why are they acting strange?" Asked Aizen. Robin by his side also seems to be curious. She already calmed down after seeing that no one saw through her disguise, so she was more relaxed. "Sigh, It''s because you are that talented little pervert, do you know that you are already scheduled to become an Admiral in the future? that''s why they would try to gain your favor now that you are a mere rear admiral, rather than wait for you to become vice admiral and lose that chance." Said Gion with contempt, but her tone was very smug. "Master, I already breakthrough to the Top sword master level." Teased her Aizen by the side seeing her that smug. Gion brows twitched, and she was about to stand up to leave and train, when she heard his next sentence. "I told you master, soon I''ll make you mine!" Besides Robin that was near, none heard him, but the two women faces were red with embarrassment. Gion who always take his parley as drivel, couldn''t retort this time. He was already turning to the perfect man. "Hm? It''s not that I don''t want to train it Sengoku Sama, It''s because it hinders me. I can already predict people movement without depending on it. There was a time when I unconsciously took a glimpse of the future, but I don''t really knew how to control it!" Aizen directed the flow of conversation towards what he needed the most, and while putting a troubled face, he waited for someone to took the bait, or to be forced to. Aizen didn''t believe that no one in the marine officers here could see glimpses of the future. And he was totally right. His master, Garp, Sengoku, Z, Tsuru, The Three Admirals all look towards one direction. Following their gaze, he was confronted by an ugly drunkard looking middle aged man. His thin eyes, and a sharp nose coupled with an angular jawline made him look like a suspicious Ossan. Feeling the gazes of everybody on him, his eyes twitched. Tokikake would rather die than help that ???ky brat. He didn''t like Aizen at all. "Tokikake san, Jealousy may bring your health to the drain" Commented Borsalino with a faked concern, but his dull expression never change. Tokikake mouth shook a little as the cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground. He could only sigh helplessly. His beloved was looking at him with fire in her eyes, if he refused, he would only looked down upon ever more. "Alright, I will help!" Mumbled Tokikake with discomfort. "Thank you Tokikake Sama!" Said Aizen Happily and innocently, not minding at all the different gazes he got from all around the room. Even Robin could draw several conclusions from what happened now, but Aizen was unperturbed. For him, even if his master was that old man wife, he would still take her away. He do whatever he want, and don''t care at all what would others think. The feast soon was drawn to conclusion, and Aizen was informed that 5 months from now, he would be conferred as a ''Rear Admiral''. Aizen didn''t know if he would be sent to some base in the Grand line or to one of the four seas. But he would work on it. The five months was so that Aizen would work on his observation Haki speciality with Tokikake, and also to pick a good base for him. "Attack me!" Said Tokikake with a a fed up expression. Aizen smiled, and sent a punch towards that ugly looking face. Strangely Tokikake poke his right shoulder before he could even charge the punch. He wasn''t fast, rather, Aizen''s movement in front of him was a replay like scene. The Orb was already recording the process, and it increased from 6% to 6.4%. It seems the ability to glimpse at the future was a precious data. Tokikake used all the time to bully Aizen, and didn''t really teach him anything other than fooling around. Aizen didn''t mind because he already got what he wanted, and choose to continue honing his abilities using that ugly looking man. He already gave Robin green light to rummage through all the informations in the marine headquarters, and she would report to him every day. She seems getting happy day by day, and although she found some hidden secrets behind the real reason of Ohara destruction, the young woman didn''t said ''revenge'' word at all. Aizen also informed her to monitor Arlong pirates, and the moment they made it to the East Blue, she was to inform him. Having Robin as his secretary made Aizen feel like he was the fleet admiral, as everything happened was reported to him. He didn''t have time to use his complete hypnosis at all, and he followed the rules like a law abiding citizen, but Robin was very fitting to Kyoka suigetsu. Unfortunately, other than general knowledge and shameful incidents that was hidden and covered from the world, nothing with value was found. Robin was more and more disgusted, and asked him to leave this place as it find it worse than ''Pirates Den'', but Aizen refused, and ask her to rummage even deeper, maybe they could find something that would become handy later, also ordered her to pull some strings to be sent to the East blue. He wanted to grow up in power away from the peering eyes of the higher ups, a place where he will not show more a lot of power. Specially, he would be exposed the moment he power up because his body would grow up and get taller in seconds. This five months, the ugly man had a very heavy hand as if he was having a grudge, but the more Aizen was injured, the more his regeneration perk kicked on. Aizen was now sure that whatever ''Kaidou'' body was, it must not be natural. Aizen regeneration and stamina was already out of the world, he could cut half of his body, and he would recover the next second, but he wasn''t that though yet like kaidou. Benefits of the orb, his body was peerless. The glimpse in the future was already mastered, as he could now look for about 4 seconds in advance. The orb also started diving in analyzing space and time of the world, but he doubt that it will be finished any soon. By the end of the five months time, he already unsealed some of his powers (900) bringing his level to the Vice Admiral Level (4000). Central Square - Marineford, in front of the Fortress. Reverence and solemnity, was the only description fitting to the scene in front of Aizen who refused to wear any other outfit other than his Arrancar suit, but no one really was offended, as justice wasn''t just some uniform. The soldiers stood in queue, while casting fervent, adoration and envy looks towards the two proud figures standing in the center. Smoker and Aizen. The both of them today were officially promoting to ''real'' marine officers. The new recruits that come this year also watched the ceremony with hope and expectancy, while gossiping. "Isn''t that Aizen Senpai? He is so manly! is his age really 13?!" Asked a weak looking recruit while gazing towards Aizen (185cm) in shock. "I heard that he lost his memory when his island raided by pirates. no one really know his age, they only said 10 because he looked like one!" Added a recruit from the side. From his informations, it was clear that he has an intern and close relationship with some higher up. "13 or 17! isn''t he overpowered! he is a true monster, just like the admirals! so this is what they meant by Admiral Potential!" Said a recruit with envy in his eyes. He hoped he could be in Aizen place. The poor smoker was totally overshadowed. But as the grown up person he is, he no longer acted like a child. This months he took some missions, and even though, he wasn''t injured, that couldn''t be said about his subordinates. To put it simply, he can be untouchable, but he can''t bring down his enemies down either, specially the devil fruit users. The three admirals also watched the platform center with a sense of urgency. It may not be a surprise, if they had to give up their positions in the future. Admirals are the symbol of power, if any Vice Admiral except (Garp) find out that they weren''t convincing, and thought he had the power to replace them, he can use his exploits or merits points to challenge them to a duel. No one will die, but the shame would be suffocating. Everyone of them was brought back again to the days where they would compete against each other. Exchanging glances, every one of them was full of belief that they won''t lose. Each one of them started to eye Sengoku seat. Soon, the noise stopped, as the Fleet Admiral made his way to the platform. Seeing the three admirals eying him with starving looks brought an unease to him. He didn''t understand what made those troublesome guys so fired up suddenly. Sengoku started solemnly speaking about the goal of the marines, eliminating evil from the world, and spread safety all around the world. Aizen found his speech convincing, but Robin almost throw up. She couldn''t retort completely as the world needs marine, but the state of marine today don''t look much different that any pirate emperor system. Robin gained a lot of informations this five months as she discovered more secrets that what Aizen know, but as Aizen show his lack of interest and total support, other than feeling grateful and warm, she also started to question ''The world justice''. If she wasn''t Aizen confidante, she would have already joined the Revolutionary army and resist against the atrocious system. Robin soon was brought back from her thoughts, as she saw Aizen stand up on the platform with a warm smile on his face. He looked dashing and neat, coupled with his sole unique uniform, he attracted more attention than Sengoku himself. Aizen spoke about his ''deceased family'', about losing his ''home'' and how ''Gion Master'' brought him from the darkness to the light of justice. She gave him a ''home'' and he was grateful to her for all his life. He also emphasize that he sees the whole marine corps, no matter the rank, as his family members and would always be there to protect them. His monologue was way emotional that it brought tears to Sengoku eyes along with a warm mood that surrounded all around the square. Everyone was touched. Aizen mixed some lies and truth that he almost swindled Robin that looked at him with wet eyes, demanding him to give her back her honest tears. The ceremony ended with a good atmosphere, as Aizen moved towards the harbor to his warship. His next destination was - East Blue. Depending on Robin meticulousness and slight hand, he was appointed as the big lord of the East Blue. ''It would be a waste leaving that trio beauties harassed and killed by fish'' Thought Aizen as he board on his warship. Chapter 19 - Calm Belt Calm Belt The Warship equipped with sea stone at the bottom made the trip relaxing, coupled with the lack of wind and the scorching sun, it would be a waste if not having a sun bath. Aizen as a newly appointed Rear Admiral had his own array of marine soldiers : 2 Commodores, 4 Captains and hundred of soldiers that he didn''t bother inspecting their ranks. At his side was Robin in a black two pieces swimsuit, she wasn''t derelict in anyway fulfilling her tasks and also gave a big bonus to her boss. Watching her slim waist and hourglass figure, Aizen only sighed in appreciation at how s?xy the girls in this world. Robin feeling his gaze didn''t shy away, rather she continued teasing him by asking him to put some skin care cream on her. The soldiers tending their tasks by the side drooled as Aizen got his chance to ??r?ss that hot body. "Why? do you want me to defect or something?" Asked Aizen back in wonder. "I already reported to you all the shameful and disgusting feats that the marines helped covering, the corruption and evil that would make any small time pirate blush in shame!" Said Robin, a little bit agitated. They say ignorance is a bliss. The past her wouldn''t have bothered because she never trusted the marines, but that, and getting a first look at what is happening were different. "And?" Aizen was still unable to understand her motif, or rather, he was more focused on her soft skin. It was now Robin time to show a confused look. She didn''t understand why she is asking him this "Robin Onee-Sama, so you see me as a good guy, huh?" Said Aizen, while his eyes never left her smooth back, he was approaching her lower back, so he couldn''t be distracted. Robin face blushed with shame as her pervert boss saw through her confusion. "You see, Robin Onee-sama, Things aren''t really that simple, Justice and Evil aren''t easy to distinct. The world, would never ever be white or black. Things aren''t that simple. Marines may be bad, but without them, there would be chaos in the sea and innocent people will perish. Celestial Dragons my appear trash like, but do you really think it''s that simple? if they were that stupid, why are they still in control? Pirates are supposed to be evil, but you already know that their territories are safe to live within if you pay the tribute. Truth aren''t always what we saw through our eyes. You are labeled as the devil child, a calamity bringer, but in my eyes, you are my cute Onee-Sama. This is why when I met you before, I asked you what you d?s?r?. I don''t care less about the world rules and its principles, because I made my own rules, that''s who I am Robin Onee Sama, so stop imagining me as a prince with a white horse, I''m the Demon Lord that will rule the world one day, Hahahaha!" At the end of his dramatic monologue, his hands were only a little bit above that bountiful rear, he even laughed intentionally to distract her, but Robin succeed in running away from his deceit. "Pervert Aizen Sama!" Said Robin with a red shameful face, but her eyes show more clarity. Aizen didn''t want mindless followers that only follow orders. He gave them their full freedom, he only demanded for one thing. ''Loyalty'' Muttered Robin in daze, while she was finally able to understand what type of man was her boss is. She wasn''t mistaken, he was the best. Aizen already saw through her change this months, the pure white environment of marineford coupled with the justice drivel everywhere affected her mind a little, and as she was a pure kind hearted woman, her sense of justice run deeper than Sengoku himself. He didn''t mind letting her enforce her newfound sense of justice that appeared in her five months of safety, but he also needed her to understand that he wasn''t some messiah, and from her clear eyes, he understand that the crafty robin was still alive somewhere there inside her. "What is your goal Aizen Sama?" Asked Robin, it was the first time she asked this question. All this five months she was evading the subject unconsciously. Did he need her to read some Poneglyphs? did he look at her as a tool with distinct use? Aizen smirked mysteriously, ''goal'' was big word that would describe his far sight ambitions, still, what he was doing presently was just fooling around while enjoying this life. "At that time, you can play the saint you are, until you get bored!" Aizen patted Robin in the head, He only cares about his own power. Ruling wasn''t really his fort, so having talented people under him would be great, and Robin was one of the best. Robin felt her body shivering under the huge amount of warmness that invaded her body and made her feel internal peace. She quite enjoyed this feeling. The soldiers at the side were already under Aizen and Robin full control, so they only saw Aizen teasing his secretary and envied him to the death. If they heard what the two were talking about, they would have jump away from the ship without a second thought. It was that appalling. Suddenly the sounds of hurried footsteps could be heard. "Aizen Sama, We have some troubles!" The worried tone of a Commodore could be heard as he approached. Aizen didn''t recall their names as he felt that they were spies to monitor him more than subordinates. "What is it? a sea king?" Asked Aizen with an dull tone. "Huf, huf, worse, It''s the Kuja Pirates! one of the Shichibukai, Empress Boa Hancock is intercepting our ship!" The Commodore relayed what is happening with a shaken appearance not fitting at all with his own rank. Aizen turned towards Robin, and gave her a sign to not leave her place. he didn''t want her to become infatuated, although he doubted that, because her fetish seems to be different than normal people. Aizen moved to the deck, and sure enough he could see the The Kuja''s Jolly Roger, a skull with nine snakes appearing from behind the skull. "You avoided their ship, but they still follow us?" Asked Aizen, he wasn''t surprised. The captain was that unreasonable woman. "Yes Aizen Sama!" Answered one of the Commodores while sweating. "Ok, stop the ship, I''ll go and inquire their aim?" Aizen didn''t know a shit about navigation, so he was a little bit nervous, what will happen if those fools turned to stone. He didn''t want to be the main character of some ''Lost in the Sea'' blockbuster. The Warship came to a sudden stop, and by the time the Commodores wanted to inform Aizen, he already disappeared. Kuja Pirates Warship. "Onee-Sama, wouldn''t we ended up offending the navy if we attack one of their ships?" Said Marigold, a muscled, fat, large woman in a pink bikini with Kuja designs and gold tassels that trail down to her pink loin cloth and purple flaps. Her expression was one of worry as her Onee Sama seems about to do something unreasonable again. But the one in question, didn''t change her expression, she still had a cold look while gazing at the warship. "No matter what I do, I''ll still be forgiven!" Said the most beautiful woman in the world, Boa Hancock, without a change in her expression. For her no matter why she did. Kill, loot, bully. No one would would blame her, nor question her. As she ended her phrase, a somehow tall looking teenager in white pants with a scabbarded katana in his hip and a n?k?d upper half, magically appeared in front of the three sisters like a ghost. Every woman on the ship were taken back, as they couldn''t feel him at all. Thinking that they were under his mercy until he show his face brought sweat on their forehead. "I heard rumors about your unreliability more than that of your beauty, I must say, I''m even impressed that you excel more at both of them!" Aizen give a small bow to the three sisters while giving them a smile. The women on board were all taken back at how handsome the intruder was, even the three sisters that have terrible hate towards men generally couldn''t help but flinch. If it was to say that Hancock was the most beautiful woman, then he would be the most handsome teenager, as he still gave a lack of maturity and his face was still tender. Hancock hurriedly recovered and composed herself back to her unreasonable character. "Who are you! and how dare you stand in front of me?!" Hancock took her ''I looking down on you'' pose as she addressed to him. "A little advise Hancock Sama, Don''t repeat it again in front of any other man, it only give them advantages, your br??sts are in sheer sight!" Said Aizen while not shying from appreciating her revealed bust, if only she go back a little, he could see her pink n?pp?? in all its glory. Hearing him calling her with her first name sent Hancock in a fit of rage, but hearing the second part, her face turned crimson as mist started appearing just to declare how ashamed she was. She didn''t understand a lot about male and females matters, but to be talked like that, somehow made the matter clear to her. So her br??sts shouldn''t be shown like that. The women on board also shown some amazement, it was the first time they saw Hancock this flustered. "How dare, how dare you!!!" Screamed a red faced Hancock, while bringing her hand in front of her to heart shape. "Mero Mero" a pink heart shaped light launched towards Aizen, but he didn''t move, rather he took the full blow without blinking. His soul was strong, and his body wasn''t fazed by even laws, a mere charming fruit wasn''t enough to made him under any ''state''. Hancock was about to talk about the results of offending her, only to be thrown in confusion again, as she saw the man was still standing there without any change of his expression. Her sisters showed a worried expression, while some of the females looked to the boy with heart shaped eyes, they finally knew who he is, after taking a good look at him. "Hibehime Sama, He is the ''rising star'' of the marines, Aizen Sosuke Sama!" Said one of the fans (former Kuja crew member) as she looked towards him with love. She didn''t mind if he would take her now. The others also started to show similar reactions, followed by the two sisters. Aizen already ?ssimilated her fruit and gained a huge charm stat in the process, only boosting his appearance. Hancock started to show some nervousness in her expression as her crew started to act strangely in front of the man. She knew that he was handsome, but why are they looking at him like that. She felt jealousy because he stole her ''privilege''. But as she was an ''empress'', she steeled her heart and ignored their reactions, as she put her eyes in direct contact with Aizen. "What is it that you want from this empress?!" Asked Hancock with a downcast expression. She could have attacked, but the fact that he easily ignored her charm made her lose any sort of fighting intent. She already knew that he must be the warship leader, and hearing her crew, she knew that she couldn''t afford the price of harming him. Still, she won''t yield that easily. She wanted him to ask for it, so that she could keep her dignity as an empress. The big reason, was the fact that his crystal baby like eyes that was full of appreciation, tranquility and lack of hostility and annoyance made her classify him as different person than the race known as ''Men''. "I would rather please ask you to not intercept my ship, I''m a new graduate rear admiral, and I''m not privy about the territories classification and division, so if it''s possible, I would have ask for your mercy and pardon if I offend you somehow!" Aizen saw through her dilemma, and easily consented. "I will allow you that at the condition of returning my ''crew'' back to their nature." She answered as she could tell that they were charmed now that she calmed down. "I''m sorry, my charm sometimes acted unconsciously when I stand in front of strong character such as yourself Hancock Sama!" Said Aizen, but even though he dismissed his charm aura, they still looked towards him with crazy looks. "Hmph! I forgive you!" Harrumphed Hancock, but inwardly she was happy at the praise. The boy attitude, age, appearance made her quite weak towards him. She felt as if she was a little girl throwing a tantrum while he acted like a pampering ?du?t. Before Aizen go, he looked towards her with a deep look as he said:"Hancock Sama, you are really a splendid woman! Don''t let others determine your worth, it''s a mere tattoo, if you want it erased, you only need to pay a price!" Giving her a last calm and warming look, he disappeared back from the ship. "Wai..." Before she could stopped him, he already vanished. She wanted to follow his ship, but soon decided against. She was a little dumbfounded at first as she couldn''t get what he was talking about, but hearing ''tattoo'' almost took her ''soul'' away from her. The next part of erasing it, throw her emotions in chaos. That day was the first time ever her heart skip a beat for the favor of a man. She felt herself n?k?d in front of him, but it wasn''t a repulsing feeling, she quite enjoy his unrestrained glances when he was checking on her. "I think I need to have a trip towards the Navy headquarters some time soon." Strangely, even though she knew that he saw through her secret, she was reassured that he won''t let it spread. A man that would claim his capability to erase that heinous mark with a light tone wasn''t a lackey of the marine style. The man from now on would haunt her dreams. The inexperienced Hancock didn''t know that Aizen from the start was planting a seed inside of her, just like what he did to robin and his master. A seed that would soon grow up to sturdy tree of passion and love. Back to The Warship! Aizen appeared again, and ordered his lackeys to continue onwards. Seeing that he was back without injuries, those subordinates eyes were full of respect and awe. To think that he would negotiate with a warlord! The Warship continued its trip, only to leave the calm belt towards Loguetown. Chapter 20 - Marine Base - Loguetown The warship cruised along as it left the calm belt. There was no need for any resupplying as the destination was one of the most famous places where ''sea drifters'' marines and pirates alike would visit to supply their shortage of water or food. "East Blue, It will be interesting!" Murmured Aizen as he looked towards the blue clear sky. His plan all along was to amass exploits, merits and more importantly worth and trust. It may worked wonderfully if he just got a placement on one of the Grand Line bases. Yet, he choose the east blue for different reasons. First, because he didn''t like some third rate character of the sea ordering him around the place. It may not be that excessive because no one would choose to offend him, but he still choose to avoid such event. Secondly, Arlong pirates, the reason he choose them as a target wasn''t just for saving Nami and her family, it''s more deeper, and may generate a lot of merits. Think about it, Arlong was someone that was part of Jinbe crew. They may have a fight or a disagreement, but Arlong still used Jinbe fame to run amok the east blue. Aizen always thought that Arlong, or even Hody Jones were victims of the ugly sides of humans. If he a ''human'' could see that, then Jinbe must be similar too. Using Arlong and his crew as chip to force Jinbe run some errands to the world government may elevate his worth a lot. Thirdly, Taking down a legend on the process and that was his biggest reason. "Hm, thank you for informing me, Robin, any news about those fish man pirates?" Asked Aizen without turning his back. "They are still lurking on the Grand line. Why is it that you are sure they would come to the east blue?" Added Robin with a doubtful tone. "Because it''s the weakest of all the four seas!" Answered Aizen with a small tone, but Robin still heard him, and couldn''t help but nod her head. She got her hands on some files that describe the misery that fisher men suffered all this years, now that Jinbe is a warlord that have a dubious green light from the W.G to do whatever he wanted as long as he pay the tribute and follow orders, a ''revenge'' arc in the story could be predicted. Robin only failed to predict their next move location. She looked towards Aizen with admiration as she appreciate his thought process and wisdom. The warship entered the port of Loguetown, and as Aizen suspected, whoever the captain that was in charge, must have put some great efforts on it. There was no sign of any pirates jolly roger on the port, rather, he could already glimpse at a marine soldiers formation that stood in queues respectfully waiting for him. The Navy headquarters already informed them two or so months ago that they will have a rear admiral coming to take charge. The captain also made his inquiries and using his relations, he already know that it was a fortune god that was coming to his base, so other than try to sabotage the process and show displeasure to his power that was taken, he seems in glee. Aizen smiled a little, it seems the world wasn''t full of idiots after all. It would be over estimating his worth if he thought that will encounter no opposition, but that was destined to disappear the moment he enforced his ''justice''. He already planned to exterminate the captain if he showed any resistance, using jolly rogers of pirates or criminals as a tool to frame him. No one would care about this kind of people, but it seems, that the captain that was full of smiles in front of him was reliable. "Welcome, welcome Rear Admiral Aizen, I heard a lot about your exploits! I''m very moved, the headquarters actually send such a talented person like you to such a place, I''m flattered!" a fat looking middle aged man that look like a merchant, a modertae heigh (170cm) clad in a captain uniform, he put a marine cap on his head, but Aizen could see that he was uncomfortable in his uniform. ''It must be some years since he wore his marine uniform'' Thought Aizen inwardly while watching the middle aged captain in front of him with a smile. He looked towards the tense looking marine soldiers that didn''t dare to meet his eyes. Their foreheads were full of sweat, and their breathing were haggard. ''Hm, well at least he did a good job in disciplining those marines'' Aizen could tell that this captain used fear to control them, but he didn''t mind, as long a he did a good job, turning his head towards the brainy robin and his mouth corners twitched. She also ended up with the same conclusion, but it seems that someone is going to be unlucky. The captain seems distressed, he finally understand that made a great blunder ignoring those big bosses behind the youth. Captain Rank in East blue wasn''t even at the level of elite recruits, so showing such a blatant disregard to his superiors, it appears that he isn''t that bright after all. Aizen and Robin moved around the town, it was peaceful and a lively one. They passed by shops and restaurants, the civilians that saw his exotic look and the marine logo behind his back showed respect and admiration. He even got some free apples from a gentle looking old man. The center of the town, Execution Platform. Aizen stood there while looking towards the imposing looking platform while lamenting how much innocent lives and families got ruined because of Roger selfishness. He tricked the whole world to believe that he had a great treasure, nobody know what it is, but they still throw their lives away to search for it. He felt that the way he used it was a little similar to the cults back in his world. Convincing people that there was a god there in the sky. no one saw him before, but he exists because somebody says so. "Will of D, What a ruthless way to pass his will!" Mumbled Aizen. "You also know about that?" Asked Robin in an alarmed tone. Did he really have the ability to read Poneglyphs? "Yes, I didn''t thought that you knew this much about them!" Said Robin with an agitated tone, she was really an history fanatic. "Not that much, only much to act mysterious, hahaha" Said Aizen while leaving Robin behind him with a pouting face. "Let''s go, I''ve already thought of something good for you!" Said Aizen while he moved away from the platform. Robin reluctantly followed him, but a small smile face could be seen in her lips. It didn''t take much of time to the duo to find the marine base. It was the most imposing and colorful looking building in the town, maybe the whole islands, coupled with the marine seagull like symbol, it wouldn''t be that hard to found. Aizen made his way inside the marine while inspecting it with interest. The guards were looking at him with high esteem and reverence. They didn''t know much about him, but seeing that his ''weaker'' lackeys treated their captain like trash without even being able to retort, gave them a clear picture how high ranked the handsome man before them. Puru puru pruurup The Den den mushi ringtone suddenly could be heard inside one of Aizen pocket. Aizen answered the call under the wide eyed marines soldiers. It seems they don''t have ones here in the East Blue. "Sengoku sama?" Asked Aizen in wonder. "Aizen boy, I heard that you met that unreasonable woman, are you alright?!" The worried tone of Sengoku could be heard from the other side of the ''phone''. Aizen finally understand, it seems that one of his ''spies'' finally got the chance to inform him with what happened. "I''m good, she seems very gentle and easy to talk to!" Aizen reassured him. The sound of someone coughing and spurting could be heard, it seems chaotic on the other side. Garp crazy laughing, Sengoku bulging eyes, he could swear that he also saw some malicious expressions that belonged to the three admirals. After some seconds of infighting, finally there was calm. Sengoku face finally appeared on the Den den mushi. "I see, well take care of yourself!" Finished Sengoku the call. The Empress was hard to reason with, for Aizen to be able to negotiate with her, it only means that ''his face'' played a big role. So he wasn''t bothered with their faint killing intents. "it''s called ability not just face, bunch of geezers that understand nothing about picking up girls! Hmph!" Aizen put a disdainful face while Robin behind was taking p???sur? in his misfortunes. Aizen office was still under building process. After all he won''t use a trashy captain office, not to mention that his subordinates were even more arrogant than him, so he asked a small time marine guard the direction of training room, and took Robin with him. Training room. "Robin, I''ve said before that I need your loyalty, but to be worth of giving it to me, you need first to get stronger" Said Aizen seriously as he watched Robin expression. There was still about 6 months before Arlong made it here, so he would first train his first follower, and at the same time test something that he always wanted to do. Robin was little bit tense, she knew that she wasn''t strong enough to stand by her ''lord'' side, but that doesn''t meant she would give up that easily, if a mere training would make her worth to stand by his side, she would do it gladly, she would even do much extreme things if it''s to stay by his side. She doesn''t know about love and stuff, but she knew that if he told her to go away, her heart would be broken to pieces. He is already that important for her. Aizen didn''t know much about her hidden feelings, but he could feel the determination in those eyes. He wanted to use his power to pull away her devil fruit, but she seems to like it, so he didn''t delve in the topic. He asked her to approach him, and Robin gladly accepted. "Close your eyes, and tell me if there is something that changed!" Said Aizen as he touched her head, trying to send Haki knowledge inside her brain. "Nothing!" After some seconds, Robin opened her eyes and look towards Aizen with nervous expression. was she not talented enough? is he already thinking that brining her with him was mistake? am I going to be thrown again? "So it''s not like that? then what should I do?" Aizen was focused on other things, as he couldn''t pass his knowledge with a touch. Suddenly the orb throb a little, sending a message to his head. Aizen eyes suddenly showed Enlightenment. If he used his soul automatically on her, he might pulverized her soul at the first contact, he wasn''t that adept with controlling his soul, that''s why his soul unconsciously refused to budge. But what if he change the medium to another way. his liquids per example. Aizen bit his finger dumbfounding a near despairing Robin, then he put his finger inside her mouth. Robin showed an incredulous expression at first, but soon it seems as if some knowledge was passed towards her, so she stopped resisting, and caught his finger as she su?k?d it more. The scene was quite ?r?t??. He choose his blood as medium other than his drool or s?m?n to avoid those kind of endings, but he still ended up with a hot scene. Robin tongue didn''t stop su?k?n? his finger even after the transfer ended long ago. ''Is it that my blood that tasty or something?'' Aizen passed her a part of his stamina and regeneration, haki knowledge, and Air Law teachings. With that, she could protect herself, but what Aizen didn''t notice was that having his blood inside her already deemed her as loyal follower until eternity. his d?s?r? for loyalty ended up creating a blood contract. Robin also got the notice about that, the reason why she su?k?d more intensely is to show her lord her resolve, besides feeling turned on, that won''t admit. Pulling his finger from her mouth, he couldn''t help but gulp a little, that was too damn s?xy. He was already a saint for not attacking her right now. Robin returned back from her bliss, she kneeled in front of him with a content expression and little red hue on each of her checks. "Thank you for your own grace, Aizen, my lord!" Said Robin with a happy face. she who often felt insecure, this contract only made her more happy. She lost a part of her '' freedom'', but she didn''t mind, because her master guaranteed it. The fact that he used his blood and all this ''mystery'' was ignored by her, because she know, that someday, her master when he deemed her worthy of trust, he would answer her inquiries without even asking. Aizen didn''t get what happened at first, but later, he understood. It seems he was more op that he imagined, at least, he won''t have someone backstabbing in him, that would be shameful. Aizen from that day started to train Robin to a super soldier. In 6 months, using her ''master'' exclusive perks and Haki training, she was able to boost her power in an alarming pace, and following her master advices after he analyzed her devil fruit, she improved by leaps and bounds, and also learned his footworks quite easily. The benefits of having a blood contract with the lord was that baffling. If at first she was only able to fight a captain class with 600-1000 power, she was now at the Commodore level already approaching Rear Admiral. (3100 raw power) She enjoyed her training and the result was her nickname. ''Angel of Justice'' In those 6 months, other than training her, Aizen used her wisely to accumulate merits. She would go and hunt pirates all around the East Blue with her white wings. Her status elevated to the point that Sengoku showed a lot of interest towards her talent. Nico Robin was now a Captain Level, Aizen wasn''t stingy and he pressured Sengoku to do his bidding, and it''s not like Robin cared about the Ranks, but, creating such facades could make the higher ups ''appreciate'' her more and more. The 6 months of waiting soon came to an end, and soon a report about the fisher men invading East Blue appeared on his office. Chapter 21 - Dealing with Arlong East Blue - Loguetown. The town within this 6 months passed through great changes and modulations. The most important thing was the highest level of security and safety, as no pirates crew dare to approach about 5Km radius of the Island. It wasn''t just the town that know this kind of change, rather the whole East Blue seems to enter an era of pirates hibernation. Every crew pirate with a little bit of intelligence, choose to lay low as they couldn''t afford to offed the newly appointed Rear Admiral. Depending on rumors, the Rear Admiral was a powerhouse that came from that legendary place ''Grand line'', and no matter what kind of devil fruit pirates that challenged him in his stay here, no one lived to tell the tale. But some of the witnesses spoke about a mere glance from him could kill the strongest in the sea. He was revered as ''The White Knight - Haku Ryuu Kishi'' by civilians, loved and respected while the pirates and criminals labeled him as ''The White Demon - Haku Ryuu Akuma'', feared and resented, his black eyes that could swallow souls coupled with his unperturbed smile made him fitting to be acknowledged as the embodiment of demon. His white and elegant suit, coupled with his katana and imposing manner that was full of honor and justice, made him to a loved and famous figure in all of the East Blue, as from time to time, he would move personally to slay any pirates, or suspicious people that could endanger ''justice''. He didn''t even spare ''Captain Morgan'' as he deemed him unworthy to present justice. What made things even worse for pirates, was his so-called right hand. A beautiful female captain that had white wings like angels. She was fierce and ruthless. According to witnesses, she danced wittily and beautifully as she reap souls of wicked pirates. Her weapons suspected to be hidden daggers. 6 months until now, no one was able to made it to the reverse mountain, and the Grand line stopped welcoming any pirates from the east blue. The both of them, Aizen and Robin, played their roles to perfection. While The East Blue celebrated the resplendent ''Marine Era'', with Aizen as its King! Even the Revolutionary Army seems to be troubled by his oscar-like performance. They tried to contact him several times, but Aizen wasn''t interested in talking with weaklings. He would wait, until ''she'' couldn''t wait anymore. Marine Base - Aizen office. "Rear Admiral Aizen! we detected a potential pirates crew that seems to be heading towards Conomi Archipelago!" Along with the report, came the voice of the officer that was resounding with power and belief. They were no longer scared and weaklings, with the help of the other staff that came with Aizen from the HQ, they were trained to splendid soldiers. As for the former captain, Aizen didn''t question his disappearance as he was suspected in a lot of corruptions and scandalous events. "They finally came? huh? you can go, I''ll be moving personally." Said Aizen while ignoring the startled look of the officer. It was a normal reaction, the rear admiral moving personally? for them it was similar to Sengoku moving personally. They look at Aizen as if he was a ''God'', so the fact that him moving personally was either the threat level was higher, or there is some complicated thing about to happen. Aizen left his office while moving towards Robin resting room. He was now about 189cm (14-15 years - unknown), he grow up both in height, build and power, as his breathtaking appearance only got boosted to the extreme, that may take women life with just a wink. For others they may not notice anything, but for him, Hypnosis doesn''t work on him. Inside the room was Robin releasing stifled m??ns as lubricious sounds could be heard with his name called often. As his curiosity kicked in, he approached more to the door, and used his eyes to look through the room, only to be amused. In front of him appeared a rather s?uttish and ??wd scene. Robin was sitting on her bed n?k?d, ??r?ssing her br??sts hardly while trying to kiss and suck them from time to time. a little white hand was protruding from the bed playing around with her ???t?r?s. Aizen thought no wonder she liked her devil fruit power, she won''t be frustrated at all. Aizen was really tempted to intrude her room, and give her some lesson about the ''Will of D'', but break in may turn this whole situation to a more awkward incident. So he turned away and left, while suppressing his bulging rod, while thinking. ''She is a girl after all!'' He didn''t know if she was doing it intentionally (seducing him) or not, but he need to leave now, that hot body could be enjoyed soon anyway. Conomi Islands. The Fish men barged on the island, and they threatened the civilians, as they blackmailed tributes from them. The moment Aizen made it to the islands using his speed of light, it was at the climax. The battered Belle-mere stopped Arlong Pirates that seems to swagger away with confidence. "Hold up, who says that was my share?! that 100.000 is for my own daughters! I''m short on mine!" Said Belle mere without care towards her life, as she emphasized the part of ''daughters''. Genzo show a terrified look, not understanding why would she do that? Seeing his look, Belle-mere could only ask for pardon from him, as she wasn''t the one to lie about her not having a family. Her stance as she choose to sacrifice her life without blinking, that would have made even Aizen who watched the anime shed a little ''Tear''. To think that even though they didn''t share blood with each other, they made up a great and true family that shared bonds, something even thicker than blood. "Belle-mere!!" X2 To think that for even a second, they doubted their mother, they felt shame and remorse as they drown in the warmness of their mother. It was even worse for Nami as she still remembered the last dispute between her and her mother, while crying that she didn''t mean any of those words! Belle-mere who prepared herself for death, coupled with Genzo last strife that only got him scarred. The villagers was soon shown as they run to resist the invader fish men. "huh, They''ve become bloodthirsty all of sudden? Don''t kill them, Just show them what we are made of!" Said Arlong with his mean looking face, as he approached the injured Belle mere. Belle mere didn''t back up, rather, she throw her little Kids inside the house, and faced the death with bravery. "You''ll die for your pathetic love!" Said arlong, as he was prepared to pull the trigger. The sounds of screams and battering could be heard as the fish men with their above average power could be seen hitting the the civilians. "Die!" Said Arlong with a bloodthirsty intent as he was prepared to pull the trigger. At that moment, a strong wave energy was released from a place not far away from the battered civilians. The power seems to warp space and lock time. The energy was released masterfully as it bypassed civilians and locked on Fishmen, knocking them of one after the other. No one was spared expect for Arlong that didn''t seem to fare any well. The villagers looked around them, not understanding what happened. Suddenly the fish men stopped hitting them, their eyes turned white, as they fall one after the other. The whole scene was weird and creepy, but soon, footsteps could be heard, as a tall, handsome looking face in a white peculiar uniform with a katana scabbard-ed in his right hip. He moved leisurely as his right hand was laying comfortably above his katana. Arlong body was locked under a strange power, as he couldn''t budge from his place at all. He felt fear from a lowly human?! unbelievable, unforgivable... The footsteps was clear and clearer, as Aizen finally stood near Arlong with a disregarding look as if he was looking to an insect. Arlong was about 240 cm but in front of Aizen, people could feel all his grandeur vanish, and only the white clad man was the focus. "I will be troubled if you kill someone under my shift! I may have ignored you if you didn''t pull that trigger in favor of Warlord Jinbe, but this and that are different, if you pull it, no one can save you from me, even Jinbe could only watch as I skin you alive. Is it bad being enthralled by humans saw-shaped nose? Then why don''t you go to Marie Geoise and take your revenge like what fisher tiger did? a spineless coward!" At the last of his condescending speech, he moved with an unbelievable speed. in a blink of eye, Aizen Knee was in front of Arlong nose, pouring a bit of strength in his attack, Arlong face was deformed as his nose was in weird looking shape, his eyes were white, he already lost consciousness, as he was sent flying from the recoil. The villagers watching this happened were shocked! wasn''t fish man a legendary race that stood on the chain peak, why are they so weak in front of this human. Aizen turned his face towards Belle-mere, she was watching him in disbelief, as her eyes trailed towards the symbol behind his back. Aizen merely smiled while nodding to her, and signaling that she could go to her children. Belle-mere gave him a grateful look, as she joined her two daughters in an intense hug. Some of the villagers already knew his identity, but they were still in shock. To think that he would kill opponents without even looking at them. The scene of Arlong standing there with terror in his eyes, made them truly understand what a monster this marine officer was. Aizen took his Den den mushi, and under the eyes of the villagers, he started to talk. "Aizen boy? why are you calling at this time?" Sengoku answered, but it seems that he was within something important. "I think I''m in a little trouble" Answered Aizen with a smile while faking his tone to troubled one. "I don''t think you are the one troubled, what kind of trouble did you make this time?" Asked Sengoku with fed up tone. Aizen already told him that he was approached by some folks that called themselves revolutionaries. They even gave him secret files about the reason his ''island'' was destroyed because of his ''master'' lack of discipline. Yet, Aizen wasn''t fazed at all, even if his master was the one to killed them personally, what that had to do with him? but Sengoku was shaken hearing about this. Aizen didn''t know if it was scheme of Cipher Pol or truly the R. Army, but he was careful, and played his role to the extreme. Even his speech was thought of, if he was any other marine soldier, he may not attack Jinbe followers at all, or mindlessly kill them all. But he was different, he used ''kill civilians'' as a reason to enact his justice. Even Jinbe wouldn''t be able to save them, if he didn''t choose to pay a price. Diplomacy can make life easier. "I just met with some Warlord Jinbe pirates on my territory (the East Blue), I wouldn''t have cared about them, but they wanted to ''kill'' civilians Sengoku sama, I can only knock some senses on them!" Said Aizen with a calm tone. But he could feel that there was a strange atmosphere on the other side. "What is happening there Sengoku sama?" Aizen was surprised as he could hear a lot of noises. "We are discussing Crocodile Profile, he accepted to join the Warlord system, and there is someone here that want to talk with you!" Answered Sengoku. Sengoku Place, the conference room was lively today. Empress Boa Hancock that always refused to come to this place was actually present while looking around her as if looking for someone. Doflamingo with his sick smile and creepy tongue was sitting above the table, Kuma was reading a book, while Mihawk was laying on his chair not bothered. Jinbe seems the only one who took the whole thing seriously. Crocodile accepted to join the warlord system, and there was even other potential candidate Gekko Moria. It was at that time that Sengoku den den mushi made a noise. He gave Aizen this number only to call him in times of urgency. So he answered directly. The content of the conversation looks very satisfying to some of those Warlords (Doflamingo), after all, marines won''t bother with their subordinates, and although they were about to kill civilians wantonly, they would still be released. Hancock face was red, as her heart flutter with beating, she felt sweet as she heard the voice of the one she came to look for. ''East Blue!'' She already got what she wanted. Jinbe was the only one that had his face ugly, as he could guess what happened. He took the Den den mushi, and started talking. "Rear Admiral Aizen, I''m really sorry! There have been a dispute between us, so they must have gone their without me knowing about it!" Jinbe was a decent man and easy to talk to, he didn''t mind apologize as to show how much he was serious about joining the Warlord system. "I''m not really that bothered, I only thought of giving them a lesson after seeing them bullying civilians, but after the one called ''Arlong'' wanted to kill, I couldn''t control my self!" Said Aizen with a tone full of justice, that fooled everyone there. Doflamingo snorted, Kuma only nodded his head while Mihawk show a strange look in his eyes. Although the boy seems to only follow the rules and justice, Mihawk could feel a strange feeling from the one talking. it''s the same feeling when talking with shanks, it was a mysterious air that only little of people could have, the boy was suppressing his true personality, but Mihawk could still tell see something fishy, but he didn''t care, it wasn''t his problem. Empress Boa could no longer stay still, she wanted to immediately leave this place full of disgusting men, and look for that man. The fact that she was here, only fortified her belief in him, as he didn''t talk about her secret to anyone. "I would be thankful if Rear Admiral Aizen could make me a favor, and let them be!" Said Jinbe while showing his will to protect them. "I wouldn''t mind that" Said Aizen, as the people surrounding look towards him with a confused look. If he wanted to let them go, he didn''t need to talk in front us. what is it? he wanted to destroy his reputation? Even the trio mother and daughters looked towards him in confusion and disbelief. "But I have my own conditions, First of all, If he put his dirty fins and scales again in the East Blue, I would take his head without any notice, as for other conditions, you could discuss it with my superiors, Have a good day!" Aizen didn''t give Jinbe any chance to haggle with him, He trusted that Sengoku would understand his intent, and appreciate his effort. At the same time, the happy looking faces of the villagers as they could hear Aizen stand up for them in front of a warlord made their eyes wet with gratitude. "Don''t worry, this trash won''t appear again in your life!" Said Aizen with reassuring tone, as he made another call so that his soldiers come to fetch the prisoners. Sengoku Side.... "Fufufufufu! What a domineering brat! I like him more and more!" Said Doflamingo while ???k?n? his lips, a fox like him, could easily saw through Aizen intentions. Mihawk also confirmed his guess. While Jinbe only show a wryly smile as he was prepared to be butchered by Sengoku. But the most affected was Boa Hancock. She looked towards that disgusting flamingo, as she clenched her teeth, if not for suppressing her rage, as she didn''t want to reveal the relation between them, she would have already turned him to stone. "It''s not good! I need to protect him!" Mumured Hancock internally as she felt the danger coming from Doflamingo who was clueless seeing her reactions. "Hum, Let''s end it with voting!" Sengoku said, as he was also in hurry to end this. "This Empress doesn''t care!" Said Hancock as she left the room. "Crocodile, I don''t mind!" Said Doflamingo with a malicious smile. Kuma only nodded silently while Mihawk only shrugged. Jinbe also doesn''t have any problems, he was more urgent to get his package back. "Then From now on, Crocodile will be the 6th Warlord!" Announced Sengoku as he left the room with his flapping cloak followed by Jinbe. Aizen waited for the soldiers to clean up the aftermath, after everything was done, he said goodbyes, after leaving behind him the legend of the marine that stood up to the people against a warlord. "That woman would sure visit me some time soon, I''m really interested to know, what is this revolutionary army is all about?!" Thought Aizen as he board on the warship under the love-struck eyes of the female villagers and reverence of soldiers. Chapter 22 - Robin Loguetown Marine Base, Aizen''s Training Room. The room was designed personally by Aizen to enhance more of his fighting efficiency. Thus, the flooring was all casted by sea stone making it neatly indestructible. Dummies and battle puppets were also the same, meanwhile, in what appeared to be a platform that were full of hanging erratically moving sands bags, Aizen with his eyes blindfolded was in the center wagging and shifting flawlessly, not letting any moving bag to come into contact with him. Aizen sighed a little, while mumbling inwardly. "Bottleneck!" It was about three months since Arlong incident. Robin as always, still embarrassing herself often, it escalated to the point that Aizen can''t ignore her advances any more, only furthering his decision to take her down any time soon. The orb scan process was moving slowly as ever, his body was growing steadily in power, and he won''t have any trouble until he attain the Quasi-Admiral Level, but his doubts turned true. If there is no powerhouse beside him, his orb would take at least 10 years to evolve him to a ''Yonko'' Level in physical section, as for Law utility, he would be able to bring destruction upon the world at that time. Sengoku was very glad towards Aizen intelligent way taking care of Jinbe lackeys, as he didn''t cease nor was he stingy throwing all kinds of praise and approbation. Another thing that Aizen classified as good news, was the fact that five codgers elders under imu-sama, seems to be glad with his way to enact justice. A promotion could be anytime soon, He only needed to ''fulfill Vice Admiral requirements'' Under the guise of strengthening the marine base in the east blue, Aizen started his military recruitment, and emphasize some names such as Desire, Van Augur, Bartolomeo... Desire and Bartolomeo was recruited forcefully by Aizen, and although they weren''t very supportive of the idea of disbanding their bandits group, working under Aizen was similar to a dream, as he had quite the fame in all of east blue. To threaten a warlord made a lot of people that looked down on marines show a lot of surprise and awe towards this youngster Rear Admiral. Van Augur wasn''t located yet, but Aizen wasn''t perturbed, if he was a fate seeker, then he would come to him with his own accord. Aizen removed his blindfold, and proceed towards an artificial hot spring, just a little bit from his training room. There, Robin was standing like a virtuous wife with a towel in her hand. Aizen took the towel, as he removed his sweating training attire without minding her peering eyes, ashamed red face and shivering body. Without bragging, Aizen didn''t mind say that his little brother won''t put him to shame even if the other counterpart was Big Mum, while his monstrous stamina allow him to go on to five days without sweating. The reason he didn''t attack Robin until now, was from his fear to break her additionally, because his s?xu?? urges wasn''t something that could consume his rational mind, that only seems to sharpen even more every time the orb advanced in scanning. Diving in the hot spring, Aizen relaxed his body while enjoying the hot temperature and the rising steams. His relaxed appearance made Robin behind gulp down her saliva. She know that her lord already saw through her blatant seduction, but it seems if she didn''t throw herself on him, he wouldn''t bother approach her at all. "You shouldn''t do that if you feel like you are indebted to me, it would only make me bitter" Said Aizen while his eyes still closed. He knew very well that other than her loyalty that seems to have went off charts lately, her indebted feeling played a big role in her being attracted to him, rather, choosing to pay him with her most precious thing, her body. Hearing what he said, the trembling Robin stopped her shivering, and looked towards him with a warm smile, as her body felt ever warmer than when she dived in the spring. " Is it because of that, Lord Aizen kept avoiding me?" Asked Robin, there was relief, glee, and understanding. Robin approached Aizen, and sit above his ??ps, as her back was glued to his ?h?st. She could feel his swell out rod hitting against her ?ss cheeks even with the towel protection. Her eyes couldn''t help but shine at how manly her lord was, but she needed to speak her mind. "You know lord Aizen, I don''t really understand much about love and relationships, But I know this, the only one I could feel this warm on his bosom was my deceased mother, and the other one is you, I may be trying to repay you back, but I won''t even do that by using my body as the price, not because it''s precious, because, it would be more like a reward for me. Pardon me lord Aizen for being a such greedy girl!" Said Robin with her back facing Aizen, but her eyes were already wet with tears. She very much fall in love with her lord, but the fact that she is indebted to him, only made her feelings hard to express. Using tactics to seduce him, and making it look like she was hoping to repay him was her way to get another reward from him, she wanted to be more pampered by him, but her black-belly and scheming character just won''t allow her to be honest with herself. She was pretty much able to fool her ''inexperienced lord'' to think so, but he was too good for her, that she felt shameful. To think that he stopped himself from eating her because he thought she wanted to pay the price by her body. Aizen was surprised that he failed to see her intentions. It was a strange, unfamiliar yet familiar feeling. He already started to lose his humanity as he could see through people intentions easily, coupled with the fact that he know the future plot of the whole canon and his overwhelming power, he started to look at humans with a degrading eyes without even noticing it. To think that he was actually losing his humanity on favor to his power. Trailing off his eyes towards the manipulative crying girl in front of him, he couldn''t help but laugh bitterly. She just opened his eyes. Aizen grabbed her by her chin, turning her face towards him, while throwing her towel using his other hand. Robin shrieked in surprise. Aizen looked towards her deeply, and as Robin wanted to speak, he sealed her mouth neatly. Robin eyes bulged in surprise, but soon she closed them and started to enjoy his sweet lips. the both of them unaware of their surrounding started getting intense. Robin turned her whole body to face him while throwing his towel that kept her ''beloved'' rod from poking her. Aizen peering deeply in her mouth, he started invading her using his tongue, and soon the second intense round started. As Robin was sitting above his ??p, Aizen easily performed a cunnlingus with his rod, as he kept teasing both of her holes drawing few m??ns from her. As her cave started letting out abundant nectar, Aizen picked her up from the spring, and took her to the floor at the side without stopping the kiss. Their stamina wasn''t normal so no one would ended up suffocating. Aizen skillfully put his rode on the entrance of her cave, exploiting their wet and slimy parts, he easily made it to the first barrier. "Iyaah! Lord Aizen, It hurts!" The pain awakened Robin from her ?ust state, as she pouted while looking to Aizen with pitiful look. But Aizen who was already in a raging state, only smirked sadistically, destroying her h?m?n drawing blood from her entrance. "Iyaaaan!" Robin m??n intensified, but this time because of the throbbing pain. "Don''t worry, It will soon turn to p???sur?, remember, Pain but a passing thought, and soon you will only feel p???sur?!" Teased her Aizen, while sealing her mouth again to stopped her protest. The filthy sound of her dropping liquids meeting his scalding rod aroused the both of them even more. The abnormal scent of their animalistic copulating only make them more unrestrained. "Let''s test your power shall we?" Said Aizen with a smirk, as he watched Robin face change from not understanding, to enlightened only to show a stiff expression. "Nooo!" Protested Robin cutely, but Aizen whose rod didn''t really gone totally inside her, wouldn''t accept this. He used Robin power to grow up another rod. He put both of his hands on her tights as he opened her legs widely. He could see her second wrinkled hole throbbing with excitement, although Robin said no, her body was aroused to the extreme. Pushing his second rod inside her second hole, Robin face turned to something to behold. Her eyes almost blanketed as her tongue was hanging out from the unimaginable p???sur?. Her puss? also made an opening for Aizen to delve even deeper kissing her w?mb, shocking her for a second time, but this time she was awaken again. She already started to forget how much she almost lost her unconsciousness under his pleasuring. She could tell that he was inexperienced like her, but his raw force and the easy to control thickness would even put the white beard to shame. The thrust continued and the m??ns grow higher and higher to the point that if they weren''t under control of Aizen hypnosis, everybody would know that their beautiful angel captain was ridden by their Rear Admiral. Aizen su?k?d her br??sts and left marks everywhere on her body, they changed postures more than ten times. Robin got to feel a warmness more intense than her mother, and made her fall in love with her lord more and more seeking that euphoric and maddening p???sur?. Aizen on the other side discovered the benefits of being a ''human''. He didn''t know much about his old life, but he was a hundred percent sure he was a v?r??n, if not, he would have pushed Robin or Hancock on their first contact. The intense combat finished by Robin bathing in a white liquid from head to toe as her tongue seemed to savor that thick flavor. Aizen seeing her eyes that were full of love and d?s?r? towards him, aroused him a little, but he was afraid if he continued even more, she would ended up broken physically and mentally. taking her in his arm, he let her take a bath, and after helping her wear a towel, he took her in a princess carry to his bedroom. He thought that kissing was allowed, and as he grow fond of it, they passed the whole day in snuggling in each other arms while sharing hot kisses and n?pp??s su?k?n?. Chapter 23 - Belo Betty Marine base, Rear Admiral Aizen office. Aizen was presently ?ssaying some reports with a ''serious'' expression, as he enjoyed a blowjob from the meticulous Robin that seems to have fall in love with the ''delicious'' flavor of his s?m?n and the thickness of his rod. It seems his s?m?n was abnormally delicious and had a lot of uses such as strengthening and beautifying. Through all this months of ''Treatment'', Robin skin, figure and face features wouldn''t lose even to Boa Hancock. Sitting in front of him, clueless to the fact that Robin was under his crotch servicing him, was a slim woman with short, purple hair in a bob cut adorned by a red top hat with red goggles. She wears a red tie and her torso is b?r?ly covered, as she leaves her cropped red jacket with pink outlines open. The woman expression seems to be indifferent, at least that what she appeared to be, as she was sitting there smoking with a relaxed feel, her eyes were covered by a pair of black-framed sunglasses with red lenses, so no one could tell what she was really thinking. It was about one year since he took care of Arlong, and nine months since he took Robin v?r??n?t?, and no, she isn''t pregnant. Van Augur as expected found his way towards the marine base in Loguetown, and joined the military training that Aizen was responsible of. His eyes would from time to time shine under his peculiar looking black sunglasses, every time Aizen visited the camp and guided the recruits. Other than VanAugur, Bartolomeo and Desire, others were on a subpar level that won''t have any plus to his cause, so he already singled them as useless pawns. Nevertheless, The recruits were at least strong enough, and won''t put his name to shame after he leave this base in the future. There were already rumors about the fact that Aizen would be called back to the Headquarters anytime soon, and may be promoted to the Vice Admiral level after the great results he achieved in a mere two years. What leads to the scenario in front of him. Belo Betty couldn''t sit still, and she finally choose to approach him personally before he left the East Blue. Additionally, Belo Betty also played the justice card to shake his beliefs as if to open his eyes to the catastrophic truth and the deceit he was believing at, that rotten and flawed ''Justice'' enacted by the marines and the word government. The ugly side of the celestial dragons, and the heinous slavery system that degrade the dignity of humans and other races. It was a touching meticulous report brought by care and honesty. That was of course if it was any other marine that believed in pure justice or if Aizen was really the person he played he is all along. It was true that the world government and marines weren''t any good, but the revolutionary army was even worse. He didn''t know if Dragon and his cadres were doing it intentionally or unintentionally, but the fact that they manipulate people and convert them to their side, sending them to death in the name of all kind of ridiculous and blurred slogans such as freedom and equality was crystal clear to him. Maybe that''s also why the higher ups only looked towards Dragon as a dangerous man and didn''t really use all their resources to hunt him down. Other than being an annoying bug, It was all to it, as he didn''t have a great power to endanger their great agendas. Revolutionary army, cadres and soldiers, seems like they were a bunch of people with different agendas and aim, but a large part of them were all there for a chance to take their revenge. They didn''t show any clear goal other than taking down the system. They were a bundle of suicidal people that know nothing about the true power of Marie Geoise, and they thought that if they have more votes on the kings summit, they may change something. It was the same right now, and also before when they contacted him. It was great telling him the truth about his home island tragedy circumstances, but the way they awaited for his response to join them, only made their whole sincere act appear like a detestable ploy to trick kind souls and amass pawns. "Thank you, you can leave now!" Said Aizen with an uninterested tone. "Surprised? Though, I really appreciate your sincerity act sharing the ''truth'' with me!" Said Aizen while putting a kind smile on his face. "Then, you will join us?" Asked Belo Betty with a newfound confidence. "Sadly, I don''t really favor joining a group of idiots without any concrete plans, their designated fate would be either death or tragedy." Said Aizen while keeping his smile, throwing Betty in confusion. "What do you mean by idiots? so that is your choice although you knew the truth? to be a world government dog?! I''m really disappointed." Asked Belo Betty with an incensed expression. She regretted the fact that she came personally to met him, meanwhile, she didn''t give up yet, showing a disappointed expression hoping to sway him a little, making him reconsider her offer. Through this two years, his justice performance was approved even by Dragon, but now, she couldn''t understand at all. Was that really the same guy that was full of justice? the same guy that stood against a warlord for the favor of civilians? Aizen was still a teenager, so it was easy to sway him and recruit him, but that was only what Aizen showed to this people, no wonder she would be this confused. "Hahaha, after your manipulation failed, now you would use emotions against me? as expected of a high ranking cadre or is it your devil fruit gift? but I''m really reasonable person, why don''t you answer a question first, and if you convince me, I would very much join you willingly!" Said Aizen with a smile on his face, while he watched Belo Betty expression changing from surprise, uncomfortable and finally recovered her calm. "Go on!" Said Belo Betty, she no longer used her tactics, as it seems inactive against him Belo Betty was at lost. They may be able to convert people to their use, but their eyes already blinded by hate and revenge. Dragon may be the only stable factor, or may even be worst, no one knew why did he suddenly started this movement. It should be clear that knowing the truth isn''t a sufficient motif to start a whole organization, so his goal to end the era of the celestial dragons may be even deeper than his subordinates hate and revenge. "Can''t answer? you must have never visualize it before? All of your members are people that lost their purposes in life, and only think about their revenge. How can a suicidal person care about the well being of others? That''s why I can''t see any benefits to the ''people'' by joining you! I didn''t lost that hope yet!" Said Aizen with a deep tone, that almost choked Robin that was tending his lower body. He never cease to amaze her with his capability to spout bullshit with fervor. Even Belo Betty was touched, her expression couldn''t help but turn enlightened. How could the world gave birth to such a ''Saint''?! Aizen seeing that she was easily fooled by him, he took the conversation to the next level. "Actually, I already knew about the rotten system sometimes ago, and I wanted to contact your army earlier, but seeing how your army exploited people and sent them to death in the name of freedom pissed me off a lot, and I lost all my belief in you!" Added Aizen with a betrayed expression as if he was pained at their actions. Belo Betty expression didn''t change much, but inwardly she was hurt. She and her comrades were all people with a painful past, so their lives weren''t really a precious thing to them. They had even taken pride in the fact that they could die with a smile on their face. Nevertheless, hearing it now from Aizen, she only felt shame. How could they free people when they were their past prisoners. "Belo Betty, how about joining me in my endeavor? I want to make the world a good place, I will not sacrifice anyone, I will use my own power to pull those bastards from their pedestal! but I need a worthy comrades to protect my back, will you?" Said Aizen with a hero-like tone, and even end it with a small pleading tone while meeting Belo eyes. The girl blushed under his clear eyes, and her heart skip a beat, while Robin nibbled his ''stick'' slightly as punishment seducing a pure heart lady. "I can''t - I can''t betray my comrades!" Although she was a little bit swayed, she didn''t choose to betray her comrades. "What are you talking about? Who told you to betray anyone, The army is all about freedom, so you are free to join any other organization, not to mention that you are joining me for the good will of people, I may not agree with a lot of things the Revo army made, but I have the same belief, more importantly, joining me came with benefits!" Whispered Aizen like a demon on her ears, breaking her resolve even more. After all, he wasn''t against the army, he was more like a person with the same belief, but with a clear goal. Without waiting for her answer, he took a little bit of his golden hue s?m?n from the lips of the greedy robin, and he presented in front of the baffled Betty. What she saw was a golden pill that lightened with vigor and mysterious power, attracting her whole body, she gulped down while wondered what was wrong with her. "This mysterious pill is a technology far far ahead of what the world can explore. I found those pills in a hidden cave in my home island coupled with the way to use. the moment you eat this pill you will gain great power that may put you in the same level with an admiral or even more, but the only requirement is that you would be loyal to me, and won''t be able to betray me again. This is what I meant with the power to take the world, The choice is yours now, Take it and join my pursue, or leave, and I won''t bother with you again!" Aizen found it hard to keep his smile, but he needed her ability for his coming plans. The informations channels of the revolutionary army would help him a lot finding good seeds to nurture. He may be easily create his channels if he wanted to, but it would take a lot of time, but more importantly, he needed a high cadre in the revolutionary army, and a woman would be his best target, men can''t pick his interest. Steeling her resolve, she swallowed his pill like ?um, and her eyes shined with delight and glee. "Delicious!" Shouted Belo Betty. "Hm, I know, right?" Said Aizen with crescent smiling eyes. Other than the heavenly taste, her power was boosted, and a lot of her weakness were covered. She even got her hand on a law, an interesting one at that. "Magma?" Said Belo with surprise and shock as she looked towards this master with awe and reverence. "Yes, now that you are one of my own people, I need to give you your fist mission." Said Aizen with a smirk on his face, while his eyes shined with nefarious thoughts. He couldn''t help but remember Law speech about the new era, specially the part where the first gear was broken by him, bringing with it the unstoppable swell. The only difference that Aizen now was the one to broke the first gear, the only difference is that it isn''t a wave that was coming, It''s more worse, more scary. Waves are stoppable but floods just swallow everything. No one knew if her loyalty came from the ''contract'' or her real feelings. Aizen back in his office was putting a thoughtful expression. ''I will be called back to the HQ anytime soon, I don''t know what that geezer Sengoku is thinking about, but I could tell from his tone and Garp ranting that I will be sent to an ominous place, but before that, It won''t be a problem for me to take a trip to the sky Island to record Lightning law, maybe probing the Marie Geoise in the process seems like a good idea.'' "Robin, stop swallowing my rod already, I will be taking you soon to a place you would appreciate a lot!" Said Aizen while looking towards the pouting Robin. "Bed?" Asked Robin with her swallowed cheeks. "Sky Island, Poneglyphs!" Aizen mouth twitched. He already start to think that maybe he broke her mentality. Robin showed a difficult expression. She wanted to see the Poneglyphs, at the same time, she was reluctant to part away with that heavenly rod. Robin didn''t show any shyness at all, she followed her d?s?r?s without even caring about the surrounding. Her ''Freedom'' just got unreasonable as the time passed. Aizen sighed a little and hugged her as he took her to his bedroom. It seems he would need to fill her insides so that she could reason rationally. Chapter 24 - Sky Island Grand Line Sea. An imposing marine warship could be seen cruising along the waves without any hinderance. The marine flag fluttering above acted like a deterrent scaring away any pirates lurking the sea. Aizen already left the east blue under the reluctant eyes of the populace and the marine soldiers, after all, he was a great peace guardian that made the east blue a paradise this whole two years that he treaded there. It''s been six months since Belo Betty succumbed to Aizen. The fact that she joined him was kept as a secret while declaring to Dragon that the recruitment operation was a failure. Dragon didn''t seems adamant in recruiting him too, which made it more relaxing to Aizen. It would have been annoying dealing with those bunch of fanatics. In those six months, other than approaching the accurate admiral level, his height grow up even more about 5 cm (194 cm), his Haki also improved and his sword way also got refined, sadly, he was stuck at the top level. Without any glimpsing towards the road ahead, he would need to find a worthy counterpart that have the ability to kill him in the hope of breaking another limit of his peerless body. The Orb was about 6.8%, and although there was an increase, but comparing it with the days in the headquarters it was easily neglected. Robin along with the other three recruits that interested him were also growing steadily, and soon came the call of Sengoku. Sengoku was short and clear. Aizen was summoned back to the HQ, as he suspected he would be gain a promotion, but according to Belo Betty special channels that grow magically this six months and her internal spies inside the marine base, it appeared that Aizen will be escorting a royalty towards Marie Geoise as there will be a Kings Summit discussing the atrocity of the revolutionary army. Aizen first mission to Betty was to use his hypnosis gift to infiltrate Marineford, and control the intelligence squads using the Book of End, rather a weakened version of it, as Bello Betty power was about the accurate admiral level or moderately above, as long as it''s not an admiral level power, weak vice admirals and other would be easily turn to her worshippers coupled with her peculiar devil fruit, manipulating people was her forte. Belo Betty was now the person that controlled every information and intelligence and reporting any interesting things to Aizen. But that was only Aizen first step of the plan, the next was unintentionally making an admiral under suspicion through falsified informations and even planting revolutionaries soldiers across his every trip outside the Headquarters. The actions almost went unnoticed, as Aizen didn''t want this small details to alert the higher ups, he would make it accumulate like a rolling snow ball, and the moment the said admiral entered the radar of the higher ups and turn quite suspicious, would be the time he would use ''the admiral own power'' to frame him, while finishing him personally throwing the dirt at the W.G. "Any betrayal you can see is trivial, what is truly frightening and much more lethal, is the betrayal you cannot see. The moment they discovered their rooted and infiltrated internal system state, the memory of the worshipped admiral easily thrown away by the W.G after years of loyalty, their trivial values in the eyes of their higher ups, I just can''t stop my body from shivering. The more I imagine their shaken beliefs, the more excited I grow. At that time, God''s Descent would be inevitable, while the lost lambs will found a new light, a new ''truth'' to believe in." Said Aizen as he thought about the tragic fate waiting for a certain loyal dog. "No grudge, It''s only your high value as a pawn is that irresistible" Murmured Aizen as he left his room. All around the ship, the eyes of the marine soldiers, captains and commodores were shining with loyalty and zealous. Aizen would be showing some of his secrets, so it was only fair rewriting their memories and beliefs making them his most loyal dogs. He would even order their deaths and they would do it with a smile, if it would bring a smile to his face, this price was negligible. On the deck, three recruits were standing there politely as they watched Robin with great respect. They were all waiting for Lord Aizen to come. They already witnessed the sight of Aizen stabbing others with his sword and making them loyal dogs the next moment. They were clearly terrified seeing such a sight, and that was Aizen intention, it was the stick and the carrot formula. Seeing that Aizen spared them, and rather gave them power that could bring doom to the world made their loyalty towards him through the roof. "Aniki is still not here yet? why did he asked to stop the warship in this place?" Asked a tall looking young man with green hair while putting his finger inside his nose. "Shut up Idiot! who do you think you are questioning lord Aizen matters?!" Responded a red hair young woman with the same hair cut as the man, but she was pissed at his lack of respect. If it wasn''t for lord Aizen easygoing nature as he didn''t mind, she would have already cut this childhood friend of her. The duo watched the man as if they were looking to a lunatic. He would always utter nonsense with a mysterious air. At first they would really fooled by his predictions, but soon they grow used to it and labeled him as an idiot. They still don''t understand why lord Aizen would give such a person his grace and blessing. The trio that saw through Aizen show of capabilities already hailed him as the god that would claim the world, not only those three, even Belo Betty started unknowingly looking down at Dragon, as her beliefs foundation were already established with Aizen as her worshipped figure. Well it''s no wonder, Aizen show her in just a six months what that is it mean to have power and ability to truly rattle the system. Something that their whole army was still trying to establish by recruiting and revolutions all those years. But with her lord Aizen, it was different, there was no sacrifice, only results. Robin watched the trio with a prideful expression as she smiled at their interactions. She was also quite excited, as her lord was about to show her something equaled the passion she would have on bed with her beloved as he showered her with love. "Aniki! Aniki is here!" Said Bartolomeo with an agitated tone. His face grow red as he felt flattered by the existence of his lord. "To think that I share air with lord Aizen!" Breathed Desire greedily while her starry eyes that was full of love and loyalty towards her ''god'' was shining with fervor. "As expected of my lord! ''Fate'' shiver at his mere breath!" Added Van Augur by the side while his body trembled in excitement. Seeing their blind devotion towards him made his mouth corners twitch. But he was disappointed, other than looking towards him like some kind of god, they weren''t really fazed by his devil whisper. He wouldn''t mind a scheming person like Robin that always amused him with her antics, but it seems those three were idiots. their sheer faith brought heavy weight on Aizen. To think that people trust could be this disturbing, such a pure trust and faith was hard to resist. Seeing Aizen with a stiff smile, Robin couldn''t help but giggle from the side. "Let''s go, I''ll be taking you to Heaven!" Said Aizen as he raised his hand. The warship suddenly started trembling, and soon the people on board started to feel the difference. "Flying, we are flying!" Screamed one of the soldiers with a surprised expression. "Don''t shout idiot, it''s clearly lord Aizen started his move!" Answered a commodore from the side, while his eyes burned with firm loyalty. Aizen saved his life from death and he sweared that he will follow him until death. Of course that''s only in his mind. "Cool!!! we are flying Aniki!!!" Shouted Bartolomeo. "Lord Aizen clearly is a God! why are you this surprised?! hmph!" Added Desire from the side, but her shining eyes carving for adventure were quite noticeable. "I could feel the aura of faith, I feel baptized, oh lord Aizen! following you is what any avid believer should do in this world! I decided to start a church and share your greatness and sublimity with the ignorant heretics!" Van Augur strangely seems more excited than others, and already started his ranting about becoming the first pope. Aizen thought that maybe Gol. D. Roger path was packed with destiny and fate threads. The warship soon impacted the clouds. Aizen disarmed his katana, and with a slight stroke, he created a hole in the sky that shaped a road avoiding the sea water. The surroundings watched their lord power with reverence and awe, as the warship made it neatly to the milky way without being hindered. He felt like Moses in Exodus Seeing the milky road, everyone shown an exaggerated expression. Still, this calm looking scenery was soon broken with the rumbling sound of thunder coming from the direction of the far away Angel Island. ''The God''s Overthrowing war seems about to start!" Said Aizen without minding the weird looks he was receiving. The orb already started recording the power of the lightning law, and as Aizen didn''t seems to be interested in the war, he made the warship elevate even more, bypassing what they call heavens gate, and moving towards the poneglyph top position. Seeing the zealous eyes of his recruits towards some action, he didn''t mind letting them have some fun. "You can go, but remember don''t overdo it, and don''t kill him!" Said Aizen a he was confident in their power. Everyone of them was a Law Holder along with Haki teachings, Enel would soon be played to death by them. The three of them showed an excited expression, as they throw themselves from the warship. Bartolomeo summoned barrier like boulder under his feet and flied towards the war battlefield, Desire seems to use light power as she was very interested in speed, Aizen didn''t mind gifting to her, while Van Augur just disappeared with a great speed using one of Aizen advanced footworks. His power was sound law as he could manipulate sound on whims. Aizen never accept weaklings under him, only people that had a trait that worth boosting was accepted. and everyone of them was a phantom like being as they won''t be discovered if they used their Complete hypnosis. Aizen didn''t even made it to the top of the tree, and he could already hear the wailing and the shrieking. Soon, the warship stopped just a little bit away from the Poneglyph. Robin eyes scorched with passion and soon, she was able to interpret the whole boulder. Sadly her eyes soon lost that light, only to be replaced by a wryly smile. "It seems the journey ends here." Said Robin with a forced smile, but Aizen only smiled at her expression while thinking inardly. ''Safe, At least there is another thing that excited her more than my rod, I''m a little bit jealous, but as long as she didn''t lose herself on worshipping me, and still the black belly lady she is, I''m comforted!'' Aizen raised his finger while signaling towards a golden boulder just next to the blue poneglyph. The move confused her, but soon, that passion was ignited again, wand with it the archaeologist Nico Robin came back. "Gol. D Roger!! how is that possible?! how did he learn the basics to write with this language? did he knew about what happened in the void century?" Mumbled Robin crazily by the side, soon she turned towards Aizen with fervor on her eyes. "You know something my lord, don''t you?!" Said Robin as she approached him in small steps as she reveal more of her s?xy figure. "What made you think I knew anything? I don''t know!" Said Aizen bluntly, provoking a smile from Robin. "Liars can''t have rewards!" Teased Robin as she was already clinging at him. She hugged him in a seducing way while pushing those jiggling br??sts on his ?h?st, she took his lips as granted, and soon m??ns was the only audible sound. she even used her free hand to give him a ''trial'' hand job, while Aizen enjoyed teasing her pink erect n?pp??s. The kiss soon ended while leaving a trail of saliva between their lips which only show how intense they were at it. "My lord, you wouldn''t lie again, right?!" Asked Robin with pouting expression, and this only made Aizen depressed. ''To think that I thought I conquered her? now she is using ''s*x activities'' as a chip to force me helping her, not that I hate that part of her!'' Aizen couldn''t help but giggle a little. Robin, she was really an interesting woman to pass his eternal life with, hopefully, she could entertain me to eternity. ''Lies, Truths? interesting concept to fathom, sadly there are only facts dear robin, and I don''t really mind stating them to you'' "I can''t deny your requests, can I? I don''t know very much about the void century, but I have a general knowledge on the poneglyphs probable positions, but it seems you misunderstand something, little Robin." Said Aizen as he carried her in a hugging way, and trapped her body between him and the poneglyph. That only exhibited how cute and jealous he was towards her newfound passion which made Robin feel sweet even more. She couldn''t stop her legs from hugging his lower body. The hot rod that was poking her made her feel delight and happiness. "I know my lord, You are first, Poneglyph come in the second place!" Giggled Robin while enjoying his childish side and dominating appearance. Aizen su?k?n? her pink n?pp??s turned her on even more, as she let her hands trail on his head, pushing him even deeper. He nibbled them leaving her full of marks, and soon a thrusting round of passion and delighted m??ns could be heard all around this sacred place. After hours, the poneglyph and the archaeologist were both bathed in his golden white holy liquid. Seeing her hanging tongue, flushed cheeks and glazing eyes. That s?xy hourglass figure that was bathed in his holy liquid while keeping a blissed expression finally dampened his jealousy towards the blue poneglyph. He couldn''t help but ridicule himself. ''How childish of me, inevitably, being with her make my dull emotions revitalized!'' He could hear that the sounds of rumble stopped, and the war was soon finished. He didn''t care about the result. He would need soon to leave this island, and hopefully he will met with that weakened legend Shiki. It would be a great chance to improve further. Chapter 25 - Shiki Grand line Skies - (7000m - 7Km) above the sea. Aizen and his ''vassals'' didn''t pass a lot of time in Skypiea. The moment the rumbling stopped and the three that gone to have some fun returned with variant expressions, they hurriedly ducked below towards the sea downwards. "To think that freak called himself God with that puny power!" Grumbled Bartolomeo from the side. He sounded mighty but his current state was nowhere near that. It seems that he got his ?ss burned by some lightning. he was still trembling from time to time. "Pfft, hahaha, Bartolomeo, he may have no right to call himself God, but looking at your state, his power wasn''t puny at all!" Desire mocked from the side. Her light power and element state made her ''invincible'' as no matter what the long earlobes freak tried, he would end up frustrated. The crazy part that he acclaimed that she was fit to be his Goddess, the reason why Bartolomeo seems to be on edge every time the freak was mentioned. Desire still remembered that pervert shamelessly proposing to her, while talking about world domination. "I''m lightning and you are light! We''re fated to a union, claiming the world as ours while we are at it!" Goosebumps! Desire only sighed, but Bartolomeo was different, he could only think that maybe Desire silence was her thinking about his proposal which throw him in dismal, he didn''t know why, but seeing his childhood friend about to be stolen from him, made him throw all his defenses, and attack that pervert madly. "Youth! Fate! To think that those two are tied with all those numerous strings" Mumbled Van Augur by the side while fooling around with his weapon. Van Augur also joined the fight, and he made the self-proclaimed God suffer a big loss, still, that man was strong, even without armament haki, he was still a tough opponent. His devil fruit development was simply unheard of. The three of them may be strong than him, but even with their advantages, they were only able to subjugate him after a stringent battle. Aizen didn''t question their experience. He knew that Enel was quite strong although he only used his fruit blindly, coupled with his mantra, he was quite the challenge. The warship treaded on the clouds unbounded, while the occupants enjoy the scenery. "An Island on sight!" Shouted the solider in dismay, as he also didn''t understand how did they made it on the ground hastily. On the other side Aizen was calm, and it seems as if he wasn''t that surprised, as if everything is under control. All those two years, he scanned the whole east blue looking for Shiki, unfortunately, he was never able to find his hovering Island base. Still, Aizen was never the one to give up. This whole journey, he kept probing all around him with Air law, but he wasn''t able to come up with any result, the reason why he choose SkyIsland, was for the sake of the rumble fruit. The moment he integrated with it, his observation and scouting abilities just gone off charts. Shiki base wasn''t haphazardly found, rather, meticulously and through Aizen efforts. "Call Fleet Admiral Sengoku, and report this to him ''Shiki Golden Lion is attacking our ship, Rear Admiral Aizen is already in an intense combat with him, Assistance is needed''" Ordered Aizen in a laid back manner. Everybody looked towards him with confused expressions, but soon the realization downed them. ''Wasn''t it Lord Aizen the one moving the ship?'' The soldier didn''t hesitate anymore, and soon Sengoku was reported, and the whole marine headquarters was thrown in chaos. "Robin, keep the ship away from harm, It would be troubling if it ended up destroyed" Said Aizen, as he started to hover heading towards Shiki base with an astonished speed. "As you command my lord!" Answered Robin back, as she watched the disappearing back of her lord. Robin quickly took command, and using her Air law, she already secured the ship. By that time, she could already hear explosions sounds and tearing sounds in the hovering island. "The fight must have been started!" Said Robin with a little worry in her face, after all, Golden Lion wasn''t to be trifled with. She didn''t know about her lord plan, she felt a little bad as he didn''t told her anything about this at all, but she could only follow his commands. The trio watched the explosions in the faraway island with awe and reverence. No matter who was the one that could entertain their lord all this time, it was clear that he deserved all the respect! It was a universal thought, a truth that couldn''t be denied, their lord was invincible. Marine HQ "Damn you Shiki! How dare you show your face again after what you did!" Shouted Sengoku while his veins was throbbing in rage. "Shiki, that old geezer still alive? The fact that he is alive out there is nothing but troubles." Said Garp in a solemn tone. "Arara, didn''t he lose both of legs? I don''t think he is a ''real'' threat!" Commented Kuzan from the side as he didn''t understand why are they bothered by a cripple old man. "Kuzan, you don''t understand, even if he lost both of his legs, he isn''t someone to be underestimated at all, the scary part about Shiki isn''t his strength, fleet or his swordsmanship, what''s really dangerous is his devil fruit! Do you still remember what happened when seven meteors attacked the island? It was this kind of threat, yet even more scarier. That monster can throw islands like pebbles, even warships are mere toys in his eyes. He is someone that is hard to deal with." Added Sengoku the last part while clenching his teeth. For this kind of feats, Shiki didn''t need his legs at all. Kuzan expression was surprised, He never thought of it from this angle. Just the thought of ''meteor Island'' send the shivers down his spine. What is the World Government doing letting such a variable roaming freely. "That''s why I told you, he is hard to deal with, He is a pirate that lost everything to Roger, his reputation, fleet and honor, He doesn''t have anything to lose, nor to protect, simply put, he is a psychopath. Why do you think W.G didn''t kill him? it''s because his devil fruit is so dangerous that it was decided to lock him in Impel down, killing him would only generate another devil fruit user that maybe hostile towards us. The moment Shiki run away from the prison, and we failed to apprehend him. W.G stopped all attempts to capture him. No one would want to deal with flying islands daily!" Sengoku was having hard time to express one of the most ''shameful events'' of his past. "Sakazuki is out, Borsalino would never want to go and meddle in such a troublesome thing, you are the only one available Kuzan" Said Sengoku. "Arara, I can''t refuse, can I?" Said Kuzan as he breathed white mist. "No, you can''t, and remember, if you can''t apprehend him, kill him!" Sengoku emphasized last part was said with a a cold tone. Kuzan left Sengoku office leaving the two old geezers in deep contemplation. "That kid, I hope he will be able to drag it for some time" Said Garp from the side. "Don''t worry, That kid won''t die that easily, his regeneration and stamina can put anyone to shame, It would not be easy for Shiki to take him down!" Answered Sengoku, He may not know about his raw power that he predicted may not any lower than Vice Admiral, but surviving was that brat forte. If Aizen heard him, he wouldn''t hesitate to fall out with him. Shiki Base. A rooster like man with a steering wheel that lodged into his head, donned golden traditional Japanese cloth trimmed with orange, a black robe underneath that was tied with a green sash. The man had a black goatee, and a golden weird shaped beard, but the most special feature was the swords used as prosthetic legs. The said man was currently laying comfortably while drinking his tea. His face looks focused while his whole bearing was calm and unperturbed. Suddenly, his instincts started kicking on, and his whole body moved unconsciously to the back, strangely, that sense of danger still roaming around him. The danger kept increasing only to force him to activate his observation Haki, the moment he did that, his expression turned cold, and his eyes were burning with rage. Slash! A trail of light passed with a horrible speed, only to be stopped by his leg sword! still he was still thrown to the back, only after using his sword legs as a stopper and tearing a huge part from the ground did he stopped. "Who dare to attack this king!" Screamed Shiki with a raging tone. He couldn''t fathom just who is crazy enough to offend him. Even The five elders as the world rulers would give him face. On a cue, The attacker showed himself. A youthful appearance, a white peculiar uniform and an unknown Katana the same level with the Twelve Saijo O Wazamono Grade Swords. "Who are you brat? Is it boring to live anymore, you come to find me to end your life?" Asked Shiki with blue veins appearing in his forehead. "I pass! I came to take your head, It may come up with a lot of benefits!" Answered Aizen, unaware of the raging state Shiki was thrown in right now. "Brat, Do you know who I am?!" Screamed Shiki, as the air vibrated around him. (A/N= It wasn''t written anyway that Shiki has any conqueror haki, but it would be ridiculous for such a ruler character to not have one, so I took the liberty to gave him one!) "Haoshoku? What a surprise, I also have this thingy!" Said Aizen, enraging Shiki even more, as he calmly took his Haki without any trouble. The air between the two started to precipitate, and the sky soon turned dark, as clouds blown up, and red lightnings appeared as if to witness the battle between two kings! Shiki was a little taken back seeing that a boy actually can rival his hard earned haki without a sweat, but he was more perturbed at the stormy climate, so he choose to hurriedly end up the showdown. He didn''t care about his loss, because, the boy will not live to tell the tale. Aizen on the other side smirked a little. ''So, he is traumatized by storms!'' Shiki didn''t take the smirk with a good complexion, and swiftly attacked the boy with his two sword legs. He wanted to erase that smile from his face. Shiki movement was very fast, and his swords moved elegantly taking Aizen by surprise. Aizen didn''t have a chance to respond, before he was sent flying deep in the island. Two deep cuts could be seen in his ?h?st, but they were soon coalesced and started to heal. ''What a dangerous bastard, I thought angering him would make him irrational, to think that he was this strong, I can''t understand how could Luffy even beat him!'' If it wasn''t for Aizen instincts kicking on the last seconds, he would have beheaded in one shot. He didn''t use any haki, because he wanted to be brought at the threshold of death, and it seems Shiki won''t disappoint him. Aizen could already play with Doflamingo ''without his awakening'' just by raw prowess and sword play, but to think that this rooster was that strong. He was a master of sword, the same level as Dracule Mihawk. "You dodged that? splendid indeed, but so what? your fate is already sealed!" Shiki seeing that his opponent was only talk, and couldn''t even follow his sword play, made him relaxed again. Aizen stand up from the debris, his upper clothes were red with blood and teared apart, strangely enough, there was no scars remaining. Shiki seeing that was surprised again, he failed to understand what exactly happened. "Old man, surprisingly, you are more stronger than I thought, Yet, if you weren''t that strong, you won''t be this tempting for me!" Said Aizen with a mysterious tone, while he looked towards Shiki with happiness. Shiki was thrown in dismay again. ''Is this person one of those Legendary M? What did I do to actually met someone here!'' Shivered Shiki while he looked towards Aizen with apprehension. He was now more convinced, no matter what, he would need to erase this person from existence. Shiki moved with more haste then before, but this time, Aizen already predicted the trail of swords. The fight was intense, but that was only for Aizen. Every so often, Shiki swords would draw blood and scars from Aizen body, but the creepy thing was that Aizen never showed any pain in his face, his eyes were focused, and the baffling part to shiki was that the boy was ?ssimilating his sword insights. "What is it old man? Don''t tell me that''s all you have?!" Said Aizen, this time, his face was disappointed. Although, his body was full of blood, and his stamina was decreasing in an alarming state, he wasn''t bothered, because he was pretty much sure, that if killing, he would rip off Shiki head without trouble. Why? Shiki already looked towards him with disdain, as other than mastering the sword in the fight, he was already dead meat in his eyes. that regeneration would soon stopped and at that time, he would reap his head. Shiki was already mad, every time, he would approach to take the head of this boy, he would only cut a part of his ?h?st or his arms. It may look like a coincidence at first, but as time passed, he started to get sure that the boy, was learning using his body. The more he got injured and battered, the more he would increase his mastery of sword. Hearing the disappointment in the youngster tone, He used his fruit to hover in the sky, as he looked towards the youngster, this time , he was fully enraged, Full of killing intent. Aizen could feel his body turned cold, numb. Fear and danger was approaching him, at the same time he was excited. Fear was necessary, he would only evolute to another strong form when his body experience fear, because for him fear was only a stimulus, an easy to discard feeling. Shiki waving his two leg swords, this time, it was the essence of Sword Master! a true master! If the levels before was about refining and fortifying the sword aura and integrating it with the intent, then this master level, was about fusing the two to another sort of power. Domain! A Domain like surrounded the whole Island as it started to tear apart. Dozens of swords aura could be seen hovering randomly cutting everything apart. Aizen who was also inside the domain was slashed thousands of time, as he watched the whole ordeal with fascination. He finally grasped the secret! Another Domain exploded from inside his body as the fight intensified. other than thousands attacks, he was now only sustaining hundreds. Shiki watched this with hurried breath. ''This brat is dangerous!'' Shouted Shiki inwardly. To think that he would still survive his Sword Domain! this domain took a lot of power from him. He was even confident that he would kill any admiral or heavily injuring him, but the boy regeneration was simply monstrous. He didn''t know about Kaido, but if he got the chance, he would gravely answer that the boy was more scarier. Kaido was tough, coupled with his regeneration, he was unbeatable, but Aizen wasn''t that tough, but his regeneration was more intense that would even put Kaido to shame. Aizen already surpassed any Zoan Devil fruit users in regeneration. As long as his head didn''t flew, and even that was doubtful, as he suspected that even with his head missing, he could still live. call it an instinct, but he was near-immortal. ''What Dracule Mihawk is the strongest, this old man is on another level! No wonder Whitebeard was never impressed with the new generation, they were only playing in his eyes.'' Mumbled Aizen, as his Domain was more and more refined under the abuse of the mad Shiki that seems adamant to kill him. Every sword aura would target his head threatening to take it away, but Aizen never gave him the chance, as he didn''t have that courage to bet his life, he took every sword with his own body or legs protecting his jewels and head. And soon, the crazy improvement stopped, along with the crazy attack of the old man Shiki. Aizen injuries were restored again almost choking Shiki that seems to lost the light in his eyes. He was used as a sharpening stone! the mere thought endanger to broke his last kept honor. First was Roger, now this brat! Shiki eyes turned red, as he raised his hands above his head! debris started to hover along with the half destroyed island. He was bent to take away the life of this brat. Although swords were his expertise, his devil fruit was more stronger. Aizen watched the sight with unimpressed eyes. He already deemed the old man as useless pawn. "Kughauh! Ho How!" Shiki body suddenly started to shiver, not understanding what happened. He let his eyes trail off towards his ?h?st, only to found a big hole in his heart area. He was appalled, afraid, confused! what happened?! Raising his head again, he saw the same brat appearing strangely in front of him, as if an illusion was broken. The boy was putting his index finger in his left ?h?st area, the same place his fatal injury was at. The boy finger was glowing with yellow like light adorned with Domain intent that he just learned in the fight with him. "I''m sorry Old man! You were a good mentor, that, I gave it to you, sadly, you never had a chance to win from the start." Smiled Aizen at the face of the dying Shiki, a smile that could only described as demonic in the eyes of the once, now fallen legend. A sword waving like was heard, as Shiki head flied in the air, beheaded! while Aizen other arm shined with blinding photon light power that swallowed the remaining of the legend body, only leaving his head as a proof of his existence. The hovering Island that was supported by his once power was already falling. Screams could be heard all around, humans and beasts. Aizen choose to fall along with it, while keeping his bloodied body to gain more merits. He already detected Kuzan Approaching, and didn''t mind showing a heroic performance. Holding Shiki terrified face in his right hand, along with his devil fruit in the second. It was easy feat to get it using the law understanding to form it. (7.2%) Aizen sword mastery was formally at the peak of the world, but he was pretty sure that he wasn''t, there was still the fabled heart boundary and the legendary law boundary. His body already surpassed Accurate Admiral Level, and was now at Executive Yonko Level. He won''t even be suspected, as he could use danger and mortality threat was the reason he exploded with power slaying a legend! But that''s it, his all power was now ?ssimilated, and if he wanted to get more stronger, he would need another death like battle, but he was sure he won''t have one any time soon. Marine soldiers aren''t free like Pirates, they weren''t allowed to fight stronger people on whim. Shiki could be described as a stray one, so Aizen could only defend himself, wich ended up with Shiki death. ''Dracule Mihawk, I wonder if we are the same level, or did I already surpassed him?'' mumbled Aizen, for him to think that he was bellow the first swordsman in the world wasn''t convincing, Shiki was a great sword master that wasn''t any weaker if not stronger than the later. At least Shiki could put any Admiral in death state if he go all out, something Aizen highly doubt Mihawk could do. An hour or so later, the air breeze started to get colder, and the sound of bike pedals were audible. At that time, Aizen knew that back up finally arrived. Chapter 26 - A Legend Fall! Kuzan expression currently was quite a sight to behold, particularly that gaped mouth and shocked reaction while approaching the ruins of the fallen island. He had quite the difficulties to made it here as the fall of the island made the whole sea stirring, and if it wasn''t for his ice fruit, he would have been swallowed by the angry waves. ''What a massive island, just the thought of such island falling above Marineford make me uneasy!'' Kuzan bike speed up, and as he approached the island that seems to be divided in multiple small archipelago, he was amazed again. He could tell that a sword master prowess was the only explanation to such clean cuts that tuned a large island to a huge number of archipelagos. He could already feel the aura of a familiar breath, thus he was a little bit relaxed. As long as the boy still alive, it doesn''t really matter if Shiki was there or run away. Kuzan finally made it to the central archipelago that was once the center of the island, and the moment his eyes felt upon the bloody figure along with the rooster like head in his right hand, he was shocked to the core. Battles that could affect islands already speak volumes about the level of the power that won''t be any lower than Admiral Class. The fact that the island was turned to such a state could only explain the prowess of Shiki and his sword mastery, still, the boy still survived? and he even got his head?! ''That bloodied state and that pale face, it seems his regeneration already neared its limits. Still, what a guy! to actually survive this level of battle and even slay a ''legend'' Impressive!'' Thought Kuzan inwardly, as he approached Aizen. Robin and co were also approaching the archipelago with baffled expressions. They clearly saw the state of the large island before the fight, consequently they were in disbelief, that soon hatched to pure reverence and awe. The news about the fall of the legend shiki soon made it all around the world, and the perpetrator behind his fall was soon revealed, as Aizen turned from gigolo to a powerhouse to beware of. Whitebeard Territory. "Oyaji, that Gigolo actually have some skills!" Said Marco with displeasure. He was one of the people that didn''t like Aizen at all. Why? because that gigolo was someone d?s?r?d even by female pirates, had his own space in BigNews newspaper. The picture of his bloodied state, a head in his right hand along with the ruined Island behind made him appear very manly, which destroyed every male ?ssumptions. The whitebeard whose nurses were also watching the newspaper while shrieking ''sexy, manly!'' was even more pissed off, but he shrugged it away by a sip of his sake. "Gurararara! The navy finally got themselves a little monster! To think that even Shiki would fall under his hand, he is more monstrous than those three boys. The question is, can they control him? Gurararara!" Laughed the Whitebeard with a meaningful eyes. "What do you mean Oyaji?" Asked Marco, although he was pissed with that gigolo, it was only on jealousy level, as long as he doesn''t come in their way, they wouldn''t bother with him. "Stupid son, Do you know what ''monster'' stand for?" Asked the Whitebeard. Marco could only shake his head. "Talent and geniuses are very much appreciated, no one would stand to ruin it, that will also be more intense when the talent is on your own side, but talent and geniuses could be easily controlled and subjugated. Monsters are different, They aren''t docile at all, you can only control them slightly, but to subjugate them and put them under control? Gurarararara, Good luck Sengoku!" Whitebeard continued to sip on his sake, while ignoring the confused Marco. "What a sword play!" He couldn''t help but show his admiration. Big Mum Territory. "Mama Mama, Big News!! Shiki Golden Lion got his ?ss owned by a young marine!" A chess soldier made his way inside the Big mum throne room, while relaying the news. "Hmm, Aizen boya, I really want to have a child with him" Murmured Big Mom as she read through the newspaper. Her drool could be seen flowing as she touched the picture of Aizen. Kaido Territory. "Gut Gut Gut, Aah! Shiki old man, you got old, huhuhuhuhu!" Kaido was crying helplessly as he watched the head of Shiki. "Kaido sama, nowadays, they call that brat the Immortal, it was said that his level of power isn''t much, but his regeneration is even higher than you-" The lackey was immediately interrupted by a flying spike that sent him flying out of the island. "Immortal? that kid? It should be better if he stay in his gigolo act, if he dared to appear before me, I''ll show him what a true immortal look like! Huhuhuhuhuhuhu, Shiki Old man, you died in vain!" Kaido continued his sake sipping session. Dressrosa. Doflamingo with his tongue hanged out read the newspaper, but he was silent. He didn''t knew why, but something soon is about to change. He could feel the coming wave. "The Past Era, Already started to fall apart? Fufufufu, Interesting!" Amazon Lily. "Aizen sama looks more manly in this picture!" Said The Empress Boa Hancock as she cut Aizen picture and hang it on the walls of her room. What was surprising, the way she skillfully move her hands, made it obvious it was not her first time. Gloriossa, also know as Elder Nyon standing at her side couldn''t really retort, but her internal heart was in turmoil. ''To think a 15-16 year old kid can have this kind of power, it was really scary!'' Hancock already wanted to find him when she heard about his appointment in East Blue, but Elder Nyon stopped her, and somehow convinced her. It was the same period where Hancock got to discover his BigNews space, and started to gather his pictures. Kuraigana Island "Interesting! It won''t be this boring anytime soon!" Muttered Mihawk with a shining eyes. He could tell that it wasn''t one sword master there, rather, the two of them were so. Marine HQ. After a grand feast and a promotion like ritual, Aizen was already promoted to the the Vice Admiral level. The marine soldiers were full of respect and reverence towards him. For them, it doesn''t matter if the old shiki was crippled or weaker than the past years, what was important was that their young Vice Admiral was able to take him down. Aizen already suspect it was Sengoku behind the curtains. Aizen explained to them that he was merely thrashed by shiki, and if it wasn''t for his abnormal regeneration and shiki falling in the trap of underestimating him, along with his magical breakthrough in the last seconds. Aizen also knew that they sent his blood to Vegapunk, sadly, he couldn''t tell much, and his regeneration was still a mystery until now, gaining him the nickname ''Immortal''. Sengoku Office. "Your next mission will be accompanying the Nefertari family to Marie Geoise" Said Sengoku while avoiding eye contact with Aizen. Aizen could feel something wrong with him, but he wasn''t bothered. "What for?" Asked Aizen. "The Royalty Summit, It seems that the last movement of the revolutionary army started to threat the balance of the world!" Answered Sengoku while giving Aizen a side glance. He knew that he was approached by the Revolution army more than once, and he hoped that he wasn''t swayed by them. "Threat? Can I not believe it? come on, those suicidal folks actually started to gain importance from the world government?" Teased Aizen. Sengoku was somehow relieved hearing this comment. Aizen left the office, and decided to look for Beto Belly to reveal to him his true mission. "Sigh, That troublesome kid is getting more and more influential lately!" Sighed Garp from the side. "Damn you Garp, if it wasn''t for the fact that your merits are very high, I would have execute you!!" Shouted Sengoku. Well, it''s no wonder. Although Garp seems troubled, his joyful and smug expression wasn''t convincing at all. Chapter 27 - The True Mission Marinrford Fortress - First floor - Intelligence Agency. Belo Betty that was disguised as a veteran old marine was laying above a sofa comfortably while watching the busy intelligence team in front of her with a complacent smile. It was about six to seven months that she infiltrated the Marineford island. At first she only used the necklace lord Aizen give her to blend with the civilians, but soon she targeted an intelligence marine, and skillfully turned him to dust using her Magma power. She easily made it to the first heavy guarded first floor, and using a dagger that was bestowed to her, she was able to implant loyalty and false memories inside the whole team. Henceforth, the main intelligence squad of the navy headquarters was already under her control, be it secret informations, missions distribution and even dirty files. "Old man, I see that you are already mingling well!" Suddenly, there was a familiar voice that sounded from behind the sofa, but as she was already like an omniscient being inside this floor, she was already awaiting his arrival. "Lord Aizen, It''s been a while since the last time I see you, you already grow up more graceful and m?tur?." Belo Betty in her old man appearance stand up politely while bowing with courtliness towards him. The months that she passed here like a Queen made her very haughty, coupled with her power that kept increasing magically and the magma ability, she almost forget that the person in front of her was the one that gave her such a privilege. Aizen couldn''t help but snort at her attitude. while putting his cold eyes on her. "You also grow more arrogant and disrespectful!" Said Aizen while his cold eyes made the temperature inside the room decrease swiftly, sending the chills down her spine. Belo Betty couldn''t help but sweatdrop, as her forehead started to perspire in nervousness and fear. Aizen did say that he wanted ''comrades'' to support him when he tried to recruit her, but the moment she took his ''Holy liquid'' and gain power, she was already his servant, and a servant should need learn to act as one. Aizen wasn''t really disrespected by her, but the way she was laying there with confidence and her growing arrogance that was plastered in her face was a huge detriment. She was responsible of framing an admiral. If she was this arrogant, then his whole plan may be screwed up because of her blinding confidence. "What happened with Akainu?" Asked Aizen again. She was a smart woman, and she could understand that she was going astray. "As you ordered my lord! The last mission he took was exterminating a pirates crew that took the royalty and nobles as hostages. His ''absolute justice'' killing pirates and hostages was recorded, and was used to incite other Kingdoms royalties secretly. The higher ups wouldn''t have bothered with this, but as you instructed, I used my magma power to burn the surviving royalties to cinder, while leaving plenty of loose trails behind to the Cipher Pol squads, depicting the madness and the threat he could create and may endanger the nobles status. After his leave, the Revolutionary army already claimed that island as a part of its territory! "What is it?" He was confused, what happened? did they already deduced that someone wanted to frame him that hurriedly? "I think lord may not need to continue bother with him, as your next mission would give you enough prestige even higher than an admiral" Answered Beto Belly with a strange expression. Aizen was suddenly reminded why did he come to see her. "Ho, and what is this mission?" Asked again, while he could already deduce something. Sengoku weird expression, his next mission, Garp silence. Those strange occurrences could only lead to one result. "You will be appointed as a bodyguard to one of the princess of the Celestial Dragons Nobles, Delphi Family!" Answered Beto Belly, but the worry was evident on her face. She naively thought that her lord would not be able to stand beside the ugliness of those celestial dragons, and may end up doing something excessive. Sadly, Aizen was even more in delight. What a lucky catch! He wasn''t bothered at all, even if he was to guard Saint Shalria, he would do it happily! For others, they may lose their sense of justice seeing the obscurity and corruption of the world creators, but for him, it was his road to greatness. He may even found some informations about the next sword stage, Sword Heart. "It doesn''t matter, just keep leaving suspicious evidences behind him, and made it look hard to discover, so that they would be more cautious towards him in the future. If they didn''t move against him, I will incite them to do so, and maybe I''ll even save his life and recruit him, it all depends on how the future events carry on." Said Aizen as he leave the room, leaving a relaxed Bello Betty behind. She was finally able to breath a sigh in relief. To think that she almost angered that lord! Bello Betty hurriedly moved towards the team, as she already started to design some schemes to corner the red dog. Aizen wanted to find Z sensei, unfortunately, he took the recruits out to some smelting trial, so he could only retreat back to his own courtyard to have some s?xu?? activities with Robin, and train his sword arts. Aizen already deduced the way to advance his sword level. The sword master domain was about creating a domain where cutting only take a thought from the sword wielder, but the most problematic part about this realm was the fact of its uncontrollable power. The sword slashes would also be erratic and unstable, and although it may have a great damage, it''s not really something a sword user could take pride on. Thus, the only way to improve is to control and magnify the range of the domain. The moment he was able to unleash his domain and cut with a mere thought without even taking his katana from the scabbard, would be the day he made it to the threshold of the sword heart. Soon, a half month went by, and Aizen was asked to come towards the conference room. It didn''t take a genius to derive the reason behind the summon. Some Vice Admirals were already there standing, as they didn''t seem to have enough authority to join those monsters on comparable terms. The door was opened, and Aizen made it inside the room, attracting the attentions of the seven lords. He was about (197cm), and his build was very refined as he could only described as perfect. Other than the fact that he was a famous ''Gigolo'' coupled with his last achievement slaying a legend, just his spiritual presence was already suffocating to some of them. It was no wonder as he was a conqueror haki wielder and a sword master, one of the two in the whole world. Hawk eyes watched the young marine in front of him with eyes full of appreciation, after all, with his senses, he could already come up with a conclusion of how strong and deadly the boy was. in a death and life encounter with him, he didn''t know if he could live to tell the tale. Boa Hancock eyes were full of tender and care, after all this man didn''t seems to be bothered with her being a slave, neither he use her secret to blackmail her, rather he already promised her a solution as long as she can pay a price. Gecko Moria ?usted about his shadow, while Crocodile and Kuma weren''t really people that show their expression but Aizen could tell that crocodile was wary while Kuma was very polite, it seems what happened in the east blue gained his respect. Jinbe was also watching the boy with mixed emotions, after all, he was pitted because of him, but that didn''t anger him at all, he was grateful that he didn''t kill his friend. He even respected him because from his clansmen memories, he seems to be a conqueror haki user. "Fufufufu, we met again, young hero fufufufu!" Grinned Doflamingo, as he still remember how weak the boy was three years ago. Doflamingo face turned stiff, but soon, he shrugged it by a laugh, while his hidden eyes never left Aizen. He couldn''t help but mutter "Interesting..." The boy saw through him, to think that he was this judicious. Hancock lips corners were twitching while she gave Doflamingo a stinky eye. She was really feeling danger from him, as he seems to fancy her potential husband. "Hancock Sama, It''s happy to see you again!" Smiled Aizen towards the only female warlord there. "T-This Empress too!" Answered Hancock with a flustered expression, that almost surprised everyone there. This woman actually have this kind of expression? Everyone looked towards the young man with jealousy. To think that even the most beautiful woman of the world was charmed by his meat bag!! In a moments, Sengoku made it to the room, and soon a conference started. The reunion was merely about the rights and obligations of each lord, some balance of the world bullsh!t. After some nonsense, each one of them started to leave the room with carefree bearings. Mihawk gave Aizen a knowing look, and Aizen could only nod, as he can''t really accept his challenge with his navy identity. Hancock also gave him a different look, and it seems that she was ready to pay that price. Aizen smiled towards her, ?ssuring her that he will lift that curse, breaking her stoic expression in the process. After the whole thing is over, Aizen excused himself, and left the headquarters towards the port, following Hancock Trail.
