In a large hall many people sat in the seats that face the huge screen, images moves across it as a man stood to one side talking loudly. Those is the seats listened carefully to any speaker that came onto the platform below the screen.

This place was one of the four meeting building that the Four Blue Seas came to talk about their future.

They planet was a water world, every corner of the Four Blues Seas had been explored many many years ago, there was nothing new.

"Forty years ago," A middle aged man boomed out over the people, "We saw what looked like the start. We thought that it may not happen in our lifetime however, we seen strange trails that could be thought to believe that the mist is moving."

Everyone began talking, some shouted over others. Some got up and left the room unable to listen to what was being said.

Because even though they live in a water world that to them only have four seas, the were two other seas. The Grand Line which travel the length of the planet at it's middle, the place that let not been seen since five hundred years ago.

Five hundred years ago when their world was in the time known as The Age Of Pirates, a mystery mist called 'Rainbow Mist' suddenly spread across the Grand Line and all the Calm Belts. It happen during a mighty war that took place in the second part of the Grand Line, between marines and pirates.

This Mist was different from a normal mist, the thick fog like clouds held no concept of time.

While five hundred years had passed in the Four Blue Seas, within the Grand Line and Calm Belts only five weeks had gone by.

"Please calm yourselves!" A elderly man shouted gaining the attentions of those still in the room, "We have everything in place to deal with this!"

Since that time the people build man made islands along the Calm Belts, large cities came out over the years.

"But the pirates!" A person shouted back almost in angry, "Our time has never faced pirates!"

"Only those in the sailing in the seas will get through," The old man replies to him, "And do not forget Marines ships will get through as well, be carefully not to attack them."

"We need to start showing the film again!" Another person shouts from their seat.

"Yes, we have began airing the film," The old said with a nod, "If they are back in our time frame then they should be viewing it as we speak."

The people began to settle talking with low voices about this.

The film was made for the people trapped inside the Mist, explaining what was happening to them.

During the time when the Mist came and the war roar on, three hundred marines and forty pirates managed to travel get out before the it covered the Calm Belt. These forty pirates were prisoners and after three years being captured they were executed. The film also served showing the pirates within that their crew mates or captains were no longer with them.

This film was seen over and over during the years, there was not a member of the Blue Sea that did not know it.

"We must not let the common people know of this," The old man continued, "Until we firmly established connect with those within. So far with as still getting men returning to us."

The Mist was like a large wall of fog but when anyone or anything tries going through it they would come out next to the place they entered. Sometimes they would come out right above and fall into the sea or even under the sea and float to the surface. For the first two hundred years, The Four Blue Seas did not have much contact with each other, apart from the Den-Dens. They found a way over it and use hot air balloons to travel.

"What about the rebirth?!" A woman shouts as she stands from her seat, "Do we know if it has happened?"

More people started to talk once more.

"We have looked however we have not found," The old man on the platform says much quieter than before, "We still do not know if this is true..."

There was something that hidden from the public, a dark secret that they never wanted the pirates of old to know about.

Three years after the execution of the forty pirates that came escape the Mist was said to be reborn just before the Mist raises. This was thought to be an myth, because in this time and age fruit people as they are known, do not exist; one so called fruit person was said to be able to carry their souls and any soul that died in the last twenty odd years of the fruit person's time. A list filled the names of the pirates was found, a list that caused them more fear and worry.

"Ladies and gentlemen!" A person shouts as he hurries onto the platform, "I just received images from the Calm Belt!"

Silence seemed so loud as they waited for this man to catch his breath.

"Trails of Mist is coming off the main body!" He shouts at them, his voice carried over the hall. "Our front island in the North Blue reports of seeing a fishing boat!" He continues, "One that looks over 500 years old!"

"Anything else!" Another man screamed when no one said a word.

"East and West Blue reports the same, normal fishing boats." The man went on as he stares down at the papers that he was holding, "They're all saying the same thing; 'That there wondering about the fog for six weeks; not able to see where they were going; unable to see even the sky; unable to get to any land.'" The man looks around and turns over the papers, "It seems anyone on the water during the time of the Mist coming over them got stuck at sea, that means every pirate ship that was not docked will have the change to come out from the Mist!"

"Anything from the main lands?" A woman calls out from her seat as she wrote everything that was said down.

"None as of yet." The man answers as he pulls the papers about, "We are working on that now."

"This is it people!" A man screams out from the back, "Prepare yourselves! The Mist has risen!"
