6. Truth of The World

On Sabaody, Rava see an unbelievable thing that make his body shake. He feel angry, disbelief, shock, simpathy, hate, and other indescribed feelings. He see something that he never thought to exist in the world, slavery.

"What the hell is this?"-Rava widen his eyes

"This is what people who stand on the top of this world like to do, slaving others."-Garp seem to have hatred in his eyes too

"The one who stand on top?"-Rava

"The World Nobles, descendants of 'Gods who create this World', Celestial Dragon (CD). They're the ones who control the World Goverment."-Tsuru say, make Rava grit his teeth in anger

"Scums like them are controlling WG who control Marine? They're the creator of our so called justice? I won't accept this."-Rava grit his teeth and his veins bulged

Rava got angry, very very angry when he hear this. The justice he believe is not something like this. If these guys create the justice system, then justice will just become a joke. He is no saint, but this kind of thing is beyond his toleration.

Now there's nothing in Rava's mind except killing those scums. He never want to kill someone to this extent. In fact, he never ever want to kill and never kill anyone. But these guys make him willing to kill for the first time.

Rava have a strong killing intent now, and this trigger another thing. Without his knowledge, an invisible pressure come from Rava. The pressure spread and make many civilians faint, the slaves & Celestial Dragons also faint. The ones who stay awake are just some stronger people.

"!? This is...."-Tsuru

"This is bad."-Garp

Garp flashed behind Rava and chop his neck, knocking him out. Then Garp take Rava and run away from there with Tsuru. They slip through many alleys and Grooves to escape from any detection. The Celestial Dragons always have CP agents going with them after all.

After they think that they're safe, they sink the cloak in the sea by putting a big stone in it. Then they go back to their ship by taking a long route and different direction from where they met the CD. It's to to avoid any suspicion or detection from the agents.

They get on the ship and only tell Gion of their arrival. They tell her to not tell others of their return, and Gion understand that there's something important.Garp & Tsuru put Rava on his bed and then tie him with seastone chains.

"I never thought that he'll have that power."-Garp

"We need to keep this as a secret, WG won't like someone with this power in their organization, just like what happen to Dragon."-Tsuru

(a.n: i make Dragon as an ex-Marine that leave after knowing the real face of WG)

Tsuru have a concerned expression, and Garp also clench his fist.

"They don't want someone that they can't control in Marine. Conqueror haki is a proof that the user have the will of a King. They might follow others, but won't become sunmissive to others."-Garp

"C-haki users are unstable factor in an organization after all. They follow their own heart and can suddenly oppose their organization. WG didn't want unstable factor in their body that can destroy them from inside."-Tsuru

"What should we do, Tsuru-chan? It's good that we find out about it this early and without anyone knowing, but it will be hard to let him become a Marine."-Garp

"We'll think about it after he wake up. I won't force him to be a Marine and let him do what he want. For his power, i want him to be able to control it, because it will be dangerous if he can't control it. Can you help with that?"-Tsuru

"I'll ask my son later."-Garp

"Thank you."-Tsuru

Just when they finish their talk, Rava wake up. He look around and see his mom & Garp beside him. Then he also find himself being tied on his bed.

"Ugh, what happen?"-Rava

"Sorry, but we need to make sure you won't create another trouble."-Garp

"Trouble?"-Rava

Rava remember the previous incident and try to free himself. Tsuru sigh, & Garp hit Rava's head again.

"CALM DOWN!"-Garp

"OUCH! HOW CAN I CALM AFTER SEEING THAT?"-Rava

"Then what will you do? Attack them and free the slaves? DON'T BE NAIVE! You won't even get close to them with many guards around them, you are not strong enough for that."-Tsuru

"But how can i stay silent when something like that happen in front of my eyes? That is not something that humans should do."-Rqva grit his teeth

"You can try to find a way to save them as you grow up to be a strong person. But now with your meager strength, you won't even be able to touch those people's hair. What use of saving some slaves when there are a bunch more up there?"-Garp

"Furthermore, those slaves have explosive collar on their neck that will explode if they go too far from their master. You'll only kill them if you don't have the key or method to take off the collar without exploding it."-Tsuru

Rava widen his eyes in shock, he almost kill them because of his impulsiveness. He also seem very pissed & sad that he can't do anything. He is grieving on how weak he is that he can't save some people.

Garp is right, without strength & great power, he won't be able to save anyone. He thought that he is strong enough, but it's just a naive thinking. He is strong enough for his age, but that's it. He is not strong enough to face anyone in the world alone.

"Then i will be stronger than anyone, than anything. I'll be strong enough, so that the world will shiver in fear when they hear my name."-Rava clench his fist

"You sound like a villain you know."-Garp

"Because i'll be the villain for my those that i deem wrong, and i'll be justice for those that i deem right. Those who stand on top of this world have a clear stand, they stand on my opposite, so i will be the villain of this world."-Rava

"So now you don't want to be a marine? Well, i won't force you if that's what you choose."-Tsuru close her eyes

"No, i'll be a marine, because i will destroy this system from inside. There are too many advantage that i can use in Marine to achieve my goal. Every man is free, and i will make that a reality, even if that take years."-Rava

"Sigh, do as you please. If you think that's the right thing to do, then don't back down. No matter what happen, i will stay in your side."-Tsuru run Rava's hair

"Thanks mom."-Rava

After Rava calm himself, Garp take off the seastone chains. They go back to Marineford so they can rest after such a tiring day. Rava also make a plan for the future, which is just getting stronger & high rank in Marine.

On their way to Marineford, Garp tell Rava about his Conqueror Haki. Rava know about this haki type, but he never thought that he have it and awaken it before. Now he need to know how to control his C-Haki, because Garp say that it's too dangerous if he can't control it.

Garp then tell Rava to train his C-haki with Dragon. Rava is surprised, he know about Dragon, altough he doesn't really know him personally. Dragon is Garp's son, and he left Marine with unknown reason.

Now Rava know that Dragon have seen the CD's cruelty. He even attack some CD before, and become a wanted man. No wonder all information about Dragon in Marine is blocked. It will only drop Marine's reputation, so it's blocked.

'They block it just to save face & prestige. It seem i need to change the Marine first before i change the world. If i can get the whole Marine to my side, then i'll get the biggest power in the world as my ally.'-Rava

A day after arriving on Marineford, Rava go to library. He read a lot of books to get all information he need. He can't walk blindly if he want to reach his goal. He need knowledge, & information, and the Marine's library is the best place for it.

After reading for days, Rava know what he need to do as his first step. He need to change Marine, and to do that he need some small steps. He need to make a faction, and make it the biggest in Marine, and he also need to reach the highest rank, Fleet Admiral.

Every marine have their own belief about justice. Rava now know that most of them believe in Absolute Justice. He don't really like this belief, as the believers of this justice will do anything to uphold their justice, even if they need to kill civilians.

'Why bother become marines if they think like pirates. As i thought, this world is ruled by power. Those who have the greatest power and stand on top, is the justice. Justice have different shape based on where you stand.'-Rava

Rava decide to spread his believe in justice in the Marine. A belief that support him and have many believers in Marine is Moral Justice. The believers of this justice is 2nd only to Absolute Justice.

However, Rava know that this justice have more believers among the lower ranks. The Absolute justice believers have better chance to raise in power & rank because the WG support them. They're the best tools for WG to control & uphold their 'justice' after all.

So now Rava need to make the Moral Justice believers grow in power & ranks. He also need to convert some Absolute Justice's believers, especially those who have high ranks. He will do it as he grow in power & ranks in Marine.

'Hmm? It seems like a religion war, but this is also politic. Damn, so complicated.'-Rava sweatdrop at his own mind

Just when Rava finished reading the books, a loud emergency siren is sounded. Rava got alerted and get out from the library. He see many people are running to the evacuation site.

Some marines are helping the citizens to evacuate. As a marine apprentice, he also need to help the evacuation process, so he do just that. He know that the high rank officers will take care of the problem, so he didn't need to go there.

Rava help some people that can't move fast like the olds, sicks, pregnants, kids, etc. He run back & forth many times to help when other marines just can do it for a few times. It's not strange though, as Rava is stronger than most marine soldiers.

When the evacuation run, a big fight happen on the port. The source of this emergency situation is an attack of a single pirate. The attacker is one of the strongest pirate today, 'Golden Lion' Shiki.

Shiki attack Marineford after reading the news about Roger's execution. He didn't believe that Roger was captured by the Marines, so he attack Marineford. Rather than letting Roger get executed by Marine, Shiki will kill Roger himself.

Shiki has defeated many marine soldiers, but then Garp & Sengoku stop him. Shiki might be strong, but Garp & Sengoku is just as strong, and even stronger than him. However, Garp & Sengoku can't fight recklessly or it will destroy Marineford & kill many people. Shiki can fight using his full power, because he don't care of such a thing.

Even if they're trying to be careful, the fight still create big damages. The fight last for some hours, until Garp & Sengoku defeat Shiki. Their fight has destroyed half of Marineford into ruins. The Marine capture Shiki immediately and send him to Impel Down.

Rava look at the battle from afar, and ponder about it. He is sure that he will reach that level in the future. No, he will not only reach it, but he will surpass it.

"Old Garp is right. In the end, what's matter is power."-Rava
