Erwin was feeling an emotion he hadn't had in a long time…extreme anger. Not even a week ago everything had been going fine, his people were happy, thriving under his rule and living the best moments of their lives.
It was a stark contrast to what things were like now. Now they were scared, on edge, frightened of their own shadows as the looming danger grew closer. The reason for all of this panic was because of a single pirate crew.
The Titan pirates. They were a prominent crew in the new world, and the captain's strength and brutality had been so great to be given a bounty of 300 million by the World Government.
In all honesty, he had no idea why they were here, attacking a small country at the edge of south blue. Why would they travel so far just to overthrow a small kingdom?
He requested backup from the World Government and some neighbouring kingdoms, but all he got was silence in response. It was then he believed something fishy was going on.
He was well aware the World Government didn't care who ruled as long as they were loyal to them, which he mostly was. Aside from his open distaste of slavery and other immoral acts, he was completley loyal.
He paid his tribute, and often maintained a neutral stance in the Reverie, so why was the World Government refusing his aid? Surely they knew having a pirate rule a country would not benefit them…Unless…
He shook his head, banishing the thoughts before his mind before they cause more stress. If they were any normal kingdom then the Titan pirates would have already put his head on a pike and achieved their goal, but they aren't just any normal kingdom.
He had walls.
His ancestors who had built this kingdom had 3 large walls constructed to protect them from any unwanted dangers. The walls of these walls were Maria, Rose and Sina. While he had no way to confirm how these walls were constructed, he had a strong hunch it was through the powers of a devil fruit.
Sady wall Maria had already been breached by the invaders. Now they were raiding the land behind those walls and killing whoever they crossed paths with.
He responded immediately and dhad managed to evacuate everyone possible to the land protected by wall Rose, but the damage was already done.
This caused another issue, overpopulation. With people evacuating further into the walls and the Titan pirates slowly destroying these walls, they would retreat further and further into them.
Food and grain mainly came from the large area of farmland on the outskirts of the kingdom. Now that this land was being raided, not much food would be imported.
They would soon breach wall Rose, and be forced further inwards where they would suffer from overpopulation and starvation, raised like pigs for slaughter. It would be a bloodbath.
He needed to think of something quick, and now. The normal population stood no chance against battle hardened pirates who ventured the grandline and fought all kinds of myths and monsters.
"Looks like you need some help, King Erwin."
He didn't bother turning around, but took a deep breath. This voice would either be his saving-grace, or his demise. Whatever the case, he needed to take it.

CHAPTER 2
As August read the documents sent by Dragon, he let out a surprised whistle as he was reminded of another popular anime show.
Was it a coincidence? There was no way to know.
He read the other documents, which mostly pertained to the Titan pirates. They were a crew in the new world who had established themselves as a very strong group of people.
The captain Darius had managed to amass a bounty of 270 million due to his brutality and strength. He also had a vice-captain by the name of Galliard who also had a high bounty of 150 million.
According to the report, Darius went off the grid some months ago and had disappeared into thin air. It was largely speculated he was dead, but it seems with his latest appearance in the south blue that he was just laying low.
The crew was 700 members strong, each of them veterans in their own right and much stronger than the ordinary person.
They had arrived on the island a few days ago and already breached Wall Maria, and it didn't seem to be very long before they would breach the rest of the walls and achieve their goal. With a crew 1000 men strong Erwin was facing an overwhelming opposition he wouldn't last long against.
He needed to stop that from happening.
"Joe, full speed ahead!"
=====
With his team 40 men strong, Ursus marched through the plains of Eldian Kingdom. They were tasked by their captain to raid as many small villages and farms as possible. Their goal was to slowly destroy the Kingdom's morale and make it much easier to take over the kingdom.
They had already ransacked multiple villages in the past couple of days, and his men had their fair share of fun with the women which was enough to keep them happy.
His men, they were his men. Most of the crew were strong members in their own right, but Ursus stood out from the rest, enough for the captain to give him command over a small number of men. It was an honour.
When their captain told them a month ago that they would be overthrowing a kingdom, most of the crew thought him crazy. A few months prior to this, Darius was defeated by a member of Kaido's crew who had been trying to convince him to join under Kaido.
Darius rejected the offer, and he barely managed to escape with his life. Darius spent the time after that brooding until he called a meeting suddenly and discussed his plan.
Ursus noted that the fire that had left his eyes previously was back.
So Ursus went along with the plan, and had been doing his captain's bidding.
"Village up ahead!" One of the scouts shouted.
Ursus smiled, along with the rest of his men. All of this thinking made his head hurt, he needed a good fight and then a good fuck.
"Burn the village boys!" He shouted, and his men roared in approval and ran towards the village.
He was about to follow them from behind, eager to get dibs on the prettiest women, but a strange feeling in his stomach stopped him.
'Something is wrong.' He thought, and a few seconds later his fear was founded as a massive tsunami of rock and earth consumed his friends.
The sounds of the earth barrelling towards them drowned out the screams of the pirates as their bodies were crushed and contorted in ways he thought not possible. The construct seemed to grow larger with each victim and soon stood over him, blocking out the sun.
He could only watch in horror as the nightmare consumed him.
