Time Skip

Two months later...

Tori and the others finally leave the New World and arrived at the first half of the Grand Line.

On their way from the New World, they would encounter pirates and navy the same and fight against them. Fortunately, they didn't encounter someone strong enough to stop them.

And with the events that happened, Tori's bounty increase and reach 200,00,000 berries.

Pony now has a bounty of 89,000,000 berries.

While Baby 5 has a 70,000,000 berries bounty.

"Captain we will be arriving at the Sabaody shortly. We need to fill up supplies this time" Pony said.

Tori just listen and said, "Sabaody is near to the Marine Headquarters. From our clashes with them in these past months. I'm sure that they know we will arrive at the Sabaody shortly. They should be planning something for us"

He then turned to Pony and said, "You and Baby 5 will buy supplies. If the marine is really planning something for us, I will take their attention"

His lips then turned into a smile and said, "And I am confident that their target is me"

A chill runs in Pony's spine when he saw the smile on his captain's face. He had seen this smile before, and he knew his captain is planning something terrible.

Marineford, Marine Headquarters

At the port of the headquarters, a dozen of the marine battleship was preparing to set sail. Soldiers run across the field carrying supplies and weapons with them.

"Move quickly! We can't let those pirates escape again!" a beautiful tall woman shouted at the marines.

The one who shouted was Vice Admiral Momousagi. Beside her was her fellow Vice Admiral Tokikake.

Earlier, Fleet Admiral Sengoku received a report from the Sabaody that the Young Beast Pirates appeared there. At first, he wanted to send an admiral to stop and capture the pirates.

But at this time, the admirals were all in a mission away from the headquarters. He can't just order them to abandon their current mission, which is quite important just to capture the Young Beast Pirates.

So, he decided to send both Vice Admiral Momousagi and Tokikake to subdue the enemy pirates.

In terms of strength and abilities, the two vice admiral could be considered a quasi admiral level strength.

Sengoku was confident that the abilities of the Young Beast Pirates are still not at the point where they can defeat even one of the two vice admiral.

However, just to guarantee the success of this operation. He decided to let both of them go.

"Killing the marines, I will capture those evil pirates" Momousagi holding the hilt of her sword said coldly.

Tokikake beside her said, "Fleet Admiral decided to capture them even knowing that Kaido was behind those pirates. It seems that the fleet admiral had been planning something"

He then jokingly said, "How about you go out with me?"

"Never" turning around, Momousagi headed to her battleship.

"Ahh, another rejection" with a smile on his face, Tokikake said and followed behind her.

Sabaody

Tori was walking around with his whole figure covered in a dark cloak. Just under the cover of the hood, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "You guys have been following me since earlier. Why don't you all show yourselves and let's talk about what you want"

After he speaks, all around him appeared a group of people also wearing dark cloaks covering their bodies.

When they took off their cloaks, their marine uniform was revealed.

A tall man carrying two swords steps out of the crowd and said icily,

"Young Beast Tori, quickly surrender yourself calmly as to avoid any unnecessary fight. If not, I promise you won't end up well"

Silence covered the place, but under his cloak. Tori was trembling.

The marines naturally noticed this and begin to think that the enemy was scared.

When suddenly...

"Kahahahaha!"

Loud and crazed laughter breaks the silence and Tori removed and throws his cloak to the side. His body was not trembling because he was scared. It was trembling because he felt he had heard the greatest joke in his life.

"A weak and lowly marine like yourself dared to say those words to me. I don't know if you're really confident in your strength or are you just simply an idiot who knows nothing"

The marine captain only stares at Tori's tall and muscular figure with hate-filled eyes.

He knew who the man in front of him is, and naturally knew what he'd done these past months.

But, he thinks that news about Tori was exaggerated to a high degree. He believes that with his strength, he can defeat Tori.

Although he believes it will not be an easy battle. He was confident that in the end, the victor will be him.

"Pirate! You will be brought down today!" the captain turned to his men and shout, "Shoot this criminal!"

Hearing the order, the marines open fire.

Bang!

Bang!

"Go to hell!" a marine holding a bazooka shouted.

Boom!

Smoke and dust filled the area and the marine captain ordered them to stop. "Stop!"

His eyes frowned staring intently at the place where Tori was. He wanted to see if the pirate is already down or blow into pieces.

Suddenly, a cold voice came out from the dust, "This kind of thing...can't even tickle me"

Without waiting for the marines to react, Tori already jumped into the air holding his club staring down at the marine captain.

"Darkness Falls!"

The club in his hand was suddenly covered in black flames and slams it to the ground.

Boom!

The ground suddenly erupted and exploded directly. Everyone was blown away directly and spit out a mouthful of blood.

The marine captain who was nearest to the explosion didn't even have the time to protect himself and was directly blown into pieces.

In a different location on the island, Pony and Baby 5 who were both covered in cloaks heard the explosion.

Pony casually said, "Seems like the captain is having fun by himself again"

"Maybe the captain needs me!" Baby 5 replies and was about to turn around to run.

But Pony quickly stopped her and said, "Baby 5, I need you here. Also, the captain needs you to gather supplies with me"

Listening to him, Baby 5 didn't know what to do. But in the end, Pony finally persuaded her, and continues their job.

Back to Tori, he glances at the scattered marines around him with an uninterested expression on his face.

Dead or alive

He doesn't care about the conditions of these marines who bothered him and just simply walk away.

Looking at the distance mangrove with the number 13 on it. An incredible excitement filled his heart.

'The right hand of the Pirate King, Silvers Rayleigh. I want to see how much gap is there between us. So please, don't disappoint me' he whispered in his heart.

At the grove #13, an old man drinking alcohol said, "A troublesome young man has come. I just hope that he doesn't come here'

This old man is no other than Silver Rayleigh himself. After the disbanding of Roger's Pirates, he retired here in the Sabaody and rather live a peaceful life.

Now, it seems that his peaceful life is about to be broken by a raging pirate.

Thinking of this, a sigh escapes from his mouth, and continues drinking.
