No Title

Next Day

Susan: So Mihawk and Kuma became Warlords. So they need two more positions for this.

Minatour: Want me to send someone out.

Susan: No. We'll need all hands on deck for the Tournament. With so many powerhouses coming We'll need to restrict them from doing to much. Especially the Drunkard Kaido and BigMoms disorder. Who knows when that woman may just turn crazy. Where is Vivian?

Ronnie: She went to Fishman Island to visit Otohime.

Susan: Alright we need to prepare for the Tournament. I want a diamond screen to be around the stands. Also combine the stages into one huge one. We need recorders everywhere along the arena and in the sky. We need large screens and speakers on all Island's. Also reserve a section for the Elders and various allies.

One Year Later

Atlantis is in a state of high alert. One could see a person wearing Ace Division clothing on every Island scattered about. All soldiers are also on duty. The main islands with the most security is farm island, Plant Island and obviously Atlantis itself. The other three although important it could be sacrificed in case a fight broke out.

Ship after ship docked at the harbor. Morgans and his team seemed to be in high heaven. Constantly snapping pictures of the powerful people showing up. Inside the castle several Big names are sitting around and drinking. The WhiteBeard Pirates, Red Hair Pirates, Former Roger Pirate's, Shakky, Neptune, Otohime, Ganfall, Birka Chief, Shandia Chief and former King Odin.

WhiteBeard: Gurararara It's been a long time sense I've seen your sorry faces.

Rayleigh: I'm to Old to be fighting these youngsters.

Scopper/ Shakky: More like rusty.

Rayleigh unable to go after his wife went after scopper.

Rayleigh: This coming from a guy who likes to use his elder status to get free things. Poor guy

Scopper: Atleast i dont go off selling myself.

Shanks: Teacher you

Rayleigh: Get your mind out of the gutter.

Shakky: He wouldnt be a man if he sold himself that way.

WhiteBeard: Gurararara

Shanks: Hey Bullet are you competing in the tournament?

Bullet: Obviously. I've spent the last year inside the tower. So you better not disappoint me. Otherwise you'll be arm less.

WhiteBeard: Why dont you just get a prosthetic?

Shanks: Nah makes me look cooler without one. Besides if i can be mentioned in the same breath as you with one arm it'll only be worse if i had two.

WhiteBeard: Brat are you looking for fight?

Otohime: You guys have plenty of time to fight in a week

Scopper: Yeah while you two sit here all your competitors are inside the tower training.

Bullet: Even those guys Redfield and Mihawk are inside.

Neptune: I saw someone leading the three admirals and Garp inside as well. That was three days ago

All: Garp

Shakky: The WG has been funding the marines heavily since the fight.

Odin: With Garp being the Hero of the Marines they would obviously want him to participate as well.

WhiteBeard: Things just got fun.

Shanks: You know on second thought i might just get the prosthetic. Excuse me

Shanks got up and left as laughter spread.

Shakky: By the way Queen Otohime where the prince's and princess.

Otohime: Vivian took them to Entertainment Island to play.

WhiteBeard: Susan will be bringing Fishman Island to the surface.

Neptune: Thats right. We'll be in the calm belt on the new worlds side of the Redline.

Rayleigh: So thats why they made a seastone coating company on Sabaody?

Otohime: Thats right.

WhiteBeard: So it'll be close to the hole they made.

Outside the castle

At a bakery Bigmom was eating to her hearts content.

Bigmom: Mamamama i can finally seriously enjoy the sweets here.

There was another sentence in her head about Sarah. However she wasnt stupid enough to say it here.

Katakuri: This place is simply on a another level of strength. Even the weapons on the regular soldiers are above what you can see on most people with power.

Bigmom looked at her son then eyed the surroundings. She had to admit unless you saw it for yourself. Atlantis was an island of monsters through and through.

Bigmom: What do you think your chances are in the Commanders fight?

She knew her son well since the last time when Ryu came. He would take a month away from Totto Land to come here and train in the tower. She knew she couldn't beat WhiteBeard Redfield and maybe even Kaido. But she couldn't lose to others like Bullet, Shanks and Fiend. Thats why shes also been here training even if she prefers to sit at home.

Another reason is of course information. Most of the time none of these people meet. Even if by some luck they do it wouldn't be a big fight. After all you had to be cautious of hidden dangers. Atlantis helped some of these people eliminate that hidden danger and fight to their hearts content.

Katakuri: Marco and King are tough. However it shouldn't be too difficult. However this Ben Beckman is hard to guess. So is the Boogyman.

Somewhere Else

Tsuru looked at Garp who was eating excessively.

Tsuru: So you had to fight Ryu in there.

Garp: Yeah. As long as one can beat him you'll replace him as the acting fighter. Of course you can choose others who have been inside. But he's the strongest then its WhiteBeard, Laxus, Sven, Grey, Roger, Myself, Alex, Loki and now Redfield in the top ten.

Tsuru: Who was the previous tenth place?

Garp: Rayleigh.

Tsuru: How are they?

Garp: Good they improved a littlet. However no matter how much anyone improves they cant beat Ryu.

Tsuru: Those Chains are that strong.

Garp: Yeah you can only duck and dodge for so long. While you're dodging him you have to also dodge the chains. Now i understand why that IM guy ran away.

Tsuru ignored that and ate some food aswell.

Garp: You're not gonna let Gion seriously participate in this are you. She could

Tsuru: I wont stop her. She wants to prove herself and i cant stop that Garp.

Garp nodded and continued to eat.

Tsuru: By the way do you think your son will participate?

Garp: Most likely he wont. After all he wouldn't want the government to know of the people in his camp or their strength.

Somewhere else

A person in a hotel is speaking to a den den Mushi

CP: So including those on each island and based on the way the tower determines strength. They have exactly 223 people with the strength of Rear admiral or above.

Elder1: Does this list include the Saints and Commanders.

CP: Yes it does.

Elder1: Good job. Come back after the tournament is over.

CP: I thought

Sword Elder: The fact that you could know the exact number means they let you. Telling not to play any tricks and also not killing you.

A shadow extended from the CP agent

Ronnie: Hehehehehe Atleast you know.

CP: WHAT!?

Elder2: Shadow Saint Ronnie.

Ronnie: A word from Susan. Don't send a rookie. Atleast make it more interesting to catch them. Hehehehe

With that Ronnie left with a laugh.

Elder3: End the call and act with calm. Once the tournament is finished come back.

CP: Yes Lord Elders.

Somewhere else

Kaido: Worororororo that tower is amazing.

Jack: I knew that Ryu and the Sages are strong and the Saints. But to think so many powerhouses hid here. I even saw blind guy on the list.

King: Its not hard to think about the tower is accessible to all citizens. Most people just choose not to use it. But what surprised me more is Katakuri.

Queen: Its expected he spends about a week or so here every now and then. He's had time to train himself up.

Kaido: Doesnt matter what the tower says. Even if its right its better to enjoy the good fight. Worororororo

Somewhere Else

Ivankov: Dragon Vme doesn't think this is right.

Dragon: We're not fighting Iva

Ivankov: Then

Dragon: We'll be training some of the recruits here. While everyone is at the tournament we'll enter the tower for a month or so.

Ivankov: Dragon Vwe dont have that kinda money.

Betty: only Elders, allies or Atlantis civilians can use the tower for that long without paying

Ivankov: Dragon are vyou an Elder of Atlantis

Dragon: Its better not to ask? We have a visitor

The door opened as Bill came in

Bill: He said its fine. However he said if he sees you anytime in between he's gonna kick your ass.

Dragons lips twitched as he understood that he would truly say something like that.

Dragon: Tell him i said thanks anyway.

Ivankov: Vme feels that something is definitely going on here. And i will figure it out

Dragon shook his head as it wasnt exactly a secret. It was just not a lot of people knew it. However he was thankful of his father using his elder status to get him access to the tower.
