Supernovas Report

Supernovas Report

Under the direct monitoring of Fleet Admiral Sakazuki.

From B4 Base in the New World to Headquarter Marineford.

News from Grand Line related that two crews of the "Worst Generation" trying to reach Raftel have been definitely destroyed.

Capone "Gang" Bage (138.000.000 Beri), Firetank pirates' Captain, has been arrested offing Coral Island.

Even thought missing, we consider defeated also Jewelry Bonney (140.000.000 Beri). Her ship, the Pink Tornado, is been found in Haldon Bey, totally destroyed.

No information about the other "Supernovas".

That damned trip seemed infinite. Bagy began to think that was better to stay in Impel Down rather than to playing around.

"Ehi you! Where are we going?" moaned, looking at his absurd travel companions. From Marineford's war he had obtained a ship and many men certain that he was a powerful pirate, and it wasn't a bad thing: what a shame that he had also inherited the "Candle-man" with strange ideas.

Mr. Three, from his point of view, continued to sip his cocktail in a lounger with a laid-back attitude "Don't look at me, it isn't an idea of mine".

Bagy snorted "So, what-" but, before he could end the phrase, the other queer dude of Impel Down appeared whirling like a spinning top.

The bad feeling about his destiny returned to him "I can't belive it… oh you! It's your fault our change-route?"

Von Clay turned to fix at him and grinned "Who, me?"

Obviously, it means "yes".

Bagy decided to not kill him just because he needed to know which was his plan, especially after Marineford: he doesn't give a fuck about Emperors and wars, he had to search John's treasure and that was all. It was his dream from forever and in no case he would change his mind.

But unfortunately he had now many men fully convinced about his important place in the world's fate, so he needed to string them along. And then there are the two…

Bagy turned to look at and Von Clay that argued about something and sighed; if the first didn't have no intention to go away, the second was a total enigma. In fact, Bagy doesn't understand why he was on their ship.

"Ehi you, why you don't take your ship for you and go whatever you want?" Bursted.

"Gahahahah, my ship was sunk in the ocean many years ago!" Said Von Clay with a laugh.

Mr. Three sighed "Screamingly funny…"

"I don't give a fuck of your ship, get off of mine!" Said Bagy, losing patience.

"This is not your ship. It's a Navy's ship that you have stolen… if you want, we can lead it back…" hinted at him Von Clay.

"Okay, okay…" Bagy give away to him, the he saw a seagull that pointed at them.

"It seem a message…" said Mr. Three, taking the letter. "It's for you, Bagy".

"Really? Give it to me!" Bagy pulled out the letter from his hands and read quickly, without believe his own's eyes.

"From who?" Tried to ask Von Clay.

"Form a certain Trafalgar Law".

"One of Marineford's Supernovas?The Heart Pirates' Captain?"

"That guy…"

"And what he want?" Mr. Three, confused.

"An alliance".

The New World wasn't so complicated if you understand how to act. You have to remember that it was a little more dangerous and crazy that other places. And Kidd lived in all that like a God.

"Which are the orders, Captain?" Said Kira and saw Kidd lick slowly his lips as a cat. They had reached that strange egg-like island for an unknown motivation, but it seemed very important for the Captain. From many days Kidd had a mysterious behavior and Kira knew that now they had reached the point.

"Few days and he will know exactly where to go" answered Kidd, while he read a mysterious message: the meeting was at three o'clock on the beach; he looked at the hand clock that signed the two.

"It's time to go. Few minutes and he will have the levelling route form here to One Piece. Nobody could stop us".

Kira's eyes ignited under the hood "Yes! I call the crew!"

The place of the meeting was disquieting like the whole island: it was a huge egg with pale and clay soil, no vegetation and dark air. If it wasn't for some birds, it seemed deserted. The only abodes were made of straw and mud.

"Captain…" said somebody, frightened.

The caw of crows in the silence seemed menacing.

"Shh!" Said Kidd, keeping an eye out the air. He doesn't trust nobody out of his crew and sure he doesn't trust in the cheapskate pirate that he had to meet. However it's worth the trouble: the object that he must deliver to him was so important that he would risk many battles to have it.

"Be ready for everything, guys" said to his crew, looking around. Other few minutes and he would know.

A quarter to three, ten minutes to three, five…

At three o'clock something exploded and the crush ran over them, throwing many to a great distance.

"Somebody attack us!" Some men with strange masks appeared from nothing.

"Bastards! Who the hell are you?" Hurled Kidd, trying to use the Devil Fruit against them.

"Your power isn't enough, Captain" answered one of masked men that seemed their boss. He had appeared among the smoke of the explosions and had hit him with a long wood stick, on which there were some chains, feathers and mysterious symbols. Kidd stopped the hit with difficulty "I don't want to repeat it: who the hell are you?"

The man was tall and thin with the bare chest full of symbols, while the shoulders were covered by a leather cape; the mask on the face was on wood.

Kidd looked at him for long time, then he saw a big "M" on the belt and began to understand "You are Big Mom's pirates" said and it wasn't a question. The men approached at them and the man throw off the mask: he had disturbing gaunt and grey eyes that lightened al the face and dark skin; he spoke with deep voice, strange for a so slander man. Very disturbing.

"What do you want?" Said Kidd, tired to repeat it.

"I am here for you, Eustass Kidd. You can choice to follow me by hook or by crook, it's the same. The orders are clear: your crew isn't necessary".

The other masked men approached again to the crew and Kidd could feel the tension of Kira and is lust of blood, but Kidd was sure that Kira couldn't win; he was smart enough to know that.

A grin appeared on his face when he said "So the "Emperess of the dead" needs me?"

The man looked at him without batting an eyelid ans just said "So, what is your answer, Captain?"

Kidd began to think quickly: now it was impossible to meet the man that must to deliver him the key of his trip, however he could contact him another time… in life. If he had refused the courteous invitation of Emperess, maybe he would have had half of crew decimated or worse.

"Okay" he answered with a grin: a meeting like that could be very interesting: usually Big Mom was a solitary pirate. Kidd looked at Kira and his crew, before to follow the men on the Emperess'ship; it was spectral, halfway between a ghost ship and a raft. He had seen other strange ways to move, like the submarine of that bastard surgeon, but that ship was the "best": the sails were torn in many points and dangled like cadaveric lianes on the rotten wood; the deck wasn't better, between a cannon hole and deep slashes.

It seemed impossible that the ship could tread water.

Kidd looked significantly to the boss, but he just made a grin to answer "Go".

"No, really: that thing can sail?"

"We not need to sail…" said the man and Kidd heard Kira swear at the sky, while the ship pinched from the soil. It was easy understand that they were flying.

"Holy crap…" murmured Kidd, glancing down where the sea was passing many meters below. How it was possible that nobody, in many years, had noticed a flying ship?!

"Captain…" Kira and Kidd looked at each other for a while, then they understood that they weren't alone anymore: around them, other six ships similar for degradation and flying in the same way.

A damned fleet!

And then he was there… Kidd observed with shock the man on one of Big Mom's deck: he was tall, with long blond hair and imposing bearing.

"Basil Hawkins…" murmured Kidd, but the Emperess' man followed his glance and shook the shoulders "He is just the third Captain of the fleet".

Just. Hawkins' bounty was of 249.000.000 beri and was one of the higher in the world.

How much powerful could be that woman if a strong and imperturbable pirate like Basil Hawkins was just one of her captains?

The guards moved with a deference that bothered him. There were many years that he didn't set foot on the Headquarter of Navy.

"Sir…"

And all these "sir" irritating him because he knew that, beyond all these smiles and bows, there were the evil plans of the Fleet Admiral. The corridor he was going through seemed infinite and he had all the time to think about the possible implications of that call, before arriving in front of a big door.

There were many years that he didn't see Akainu, or better Sakazuki, however he was ready to beat that he wasn't change at all. And in fact, despite of the look became older after the war, he had the same cool eyes and bad grin.

"Drake, it is a pleasure to meet you again" said with ironic tone.

The other snorted, especially thinking about the courteous way that navy soldiers had used to convince him to follow them: in the Shabondi bay they had stopped hi ship before he could sail with the other Supernovas and now his men were in the Marineford Bay under arrest and he was here to remember ghost of the past.

"Why am I here?"

Sakazuki looked at him, while his cape fluttered on his shoulders; the capital letters hurled "Absolute Justice", a thing that Drake would never forget as long as he lived.

"You're here because I have a mission for you" replied Akainu, impassible,

Drake felt each muscle of his body quiver in rage "I'm not a man of Navy anymore, you know it" answered, ready to return to his crew.

"Not so fast, X" said Sakazuki and Drake stopped: that letter was a part of his new pirate name, of his new identity; he showed it with proud, but he knew that Sakazuki thought other things.

"I am happy to note how you had been so shameless to show your chest without any problem" continued, looking at the big cross on his bare chest.

Drake grinned "I've nothing to do with that life, Sakazuki. I've say goodbye to her many years ago and I've not problems with it".

Akainu pretended to be thoughtful "It was easy for you to arrive at this point, considering your powerful and your deep knowledge of the Navy and his secrets, Drake…"

He waited for the jab, while the eyes were searching some proofs for the mission.

"… but if I decided to open some old files now missed… maybe it will not be so easy for you anymore".

Drake shook his head "It will be the same thing! I'm already wanted by the Navy and another accusation wouldn't change anything".

"It wouldn't change anything if I talked about the deserter rear admiral, but we know that there is something more" replied, throwing on the table the red file. Drake didn't need to see it to know how it was write. His infamous past was returning to kill him.

"You can't have these informations!" Exclaimed, but he knew already the truth through the big grin on his face.

"Oh, I guess it is easier for the Fleet Admiral of the Navy…" replied, tilting his head on the left.

Drake could see a part of the big tattoo on Akainu's neck and had a deep breathing "That tattoo… it was you, all the time…" murmured as he had suddenly understood something.

Sakazuki grinned again "These are my conditions: if you doesn't accept, I made sure that this and other files will be open again and, at the end, you will have so many faults and crimes that you will look like the unique responsible of the world's evil.

Drake turned pale "You know that I was just a soldier! I've nothing to do with the high decision of the history!"

"Yes, funny how among the truths there is just my word" said Sakazuki and he knew that he had won. Drake became to sweat blood: to open that history meant to reinstate a dangerous past that was important for the world's destiny. It meant to bring back the Missing Story and actions that he never wanted to do… even now, when he closed the eyes, he could hear the shouts of men and women in the fire… Drake closed the eyes and had a deep breathing "What do I do?" and he didn't see the grin of the fleet admiral, because he turned the face towards the door "Ex rear Admiral, I guess you know already Jewelry Bonney?"

"Let me go, bastards!"

The soldiers let her wrists and Bonney fell in front of the shocked expression of X Drake. The girl looked at him with a disgusting expression "He had bribed you too, huh?"

Drake quickly turn the expression in ice "I don't think so, lady".

Bonney continued to look at him with an indecipherable gaze , then Sakazuki had her up with bad grace "Good, you two have a mission to accomplish. Pray to not fail".

Kishu looked through the narrow passage of the forest: the crew was stopped two hours ago and he had heard two pirates to say that they were going to stay on the Island for at least two days.

Finally a calm mission.

So Kishu got away to the beach in waiting news from other missions; rumor going around was that somebody took a deviation on the native island of man that he was following and he was curious to know. But generally it was forbidden to contact the other Generals during the missions: the danger of wiretapping was high and Dragon wanted spare useless bloodshed.

However the situation seemed calm and Kishu doubted that somebody of those stupid pirates realised of being followed.

"Kumei… are you there, stupid cat?" Tried to call. The DenDenMushi made some electric discharges, then the bothered voice of the coworker arrived broken "…don't call me cat, idiot".

Kishu grinned, showing sharped teeth "Yep, sorry. So, what's going on here? Why the deviation?"

"And what's the story of calling me? You know the rules!"

Kishu snorted: Kumei was cool, but he followed the rules too much. They were rivolutionaries not marines, for the God's sake!

"I'm in pause now" he replied, looking at On Air's pirates. "Tell me everything".

Kumei whispered and began to tell the story, but Kishu didn't understand a thing: in the New World the electric discharges were most frequent and comunications were complicated. However they didn't hazard to use cleaner channels, because they were the same of the Navy. In all the talk he understood just "skeleton-man" and "long arms".

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"I said: the Long Arms tribe are in danger and… a skeleton called…"

"Ok, I see. We'll talk to the general assembly then" gave up Kishu. He wanted to close the mission and return to Baltigo for a while. He knew that the break lasted always half a day, but it was better like that than nothing.

The strategic summit of Generals was been delayed thanks to the attack of that psycho scientist to the White Ship while they navigated near Zoltan, where the girl of Ohara was been abandoned until date to be set.

Kishu was curious to meet her, after all the rumors circulated since many years; he knew that she belonged to the Strawhat's crew, but other rumors said that she should become a General or that Dragon wanted to use her knowledge about the lost language. But as usual the truth was somewhere in-between. In the end, they were all waiting new dispositions.

"Kishu, answer me…" the deep voice of Dragon called him from DenDenMushi.

"Yes, boss. I'm here".

"Your coordinates" replied with severity.

"Mmh, Red Moon Island, a few miles from the Devil's pass. The crew is docked here since two days".

"Good. I want a complete report into next hours, then I'll ask you to return at the base: something is happening. We have to reunite".

"Yes, boss!"

Kishu returned to look through the pass in the leaves: the man with long arms had to be the Captain of the crew, Scratchmen Apoo. It seemed incredible that he was at few steps from him and he couldn't do nothing; in that way he could solve many problems, but Dragon had other complicated plans. He had to keep a check on him, even if Apoo didn't seem ready to go somewhere. Kishu began to write the report for Dragon, when a shadow arrived at his shoulders. There was something in the path behind him, the one that bolted his escape route toward the beach.

Kishu didn't worth to extract the knife, because truly few warriors could intimidate him; the only risk was that his front could be discovered as Sabo and his mission.

The shadow revealed itself as a big man, almost a giant, with wings on his shoulders and a grin on the face. Kishu didn't need to sharpen his wits to understand that he was Urouge, one of these Supernovas, the group of rookie pirates that frightened the Navy. Urouge had a big DenDenmushi "Yeah, I find him. Yes, he is here with his crew… it will be a breeze to approach him and offer him an agreement" he was saying to somebody. It seemed that his plan was to talk with Scratchman Apoo and convince him about something. That mean his mission was in danger.

Kishu waited for him to stop talk, then unsheathed the knife from the belt and blockaded him the path "I'm sorry for you, man. But I can't let you doing what you think" said.

Urouge looked at him to search some recognition signs and in the end he saw the red strip on his abdomen, the unique symbol of rivolutionaries, and grinned "Oh, my mission will be easier than predict. It will be enough catch you".

"So then, bring it on!"
