Chapter 20. The Guardians

Flying aimlessly with void. After a few hours, I saw an island with an active volcano. Void with his invisibility landed near the top of the volcano. 

Leaving void relaxing at the top. Starts walking down and in doing so I spotted a hot spring. Entering the hot tub and relaxing, leaning at the end of the and start relaxing

After a while, someone comes in and starts relaxing " Ara? Isn't it former admiral Aokiji? What are you doing here? So relax"

"Oh demon Neo nice meeting you here" he paused and looked at me, before proceeding.

Now I think about it aren't this the movie film z? But the straw hats are not here. Maybe it's a Butterfly effect? Stopping my speculation. 

Using my observation haki and feeling if there are any strong presence. Feeling two admiral levels far away I said "Are you here to witness your former teacher aokiji" I chuckle

"Hmm yes, I was here to witness what can Z achieve. Will he destroy the new world and the one piece or is he going to fail?" he felt lost in his thought. Remembering why he joined the marine. His youth is full of ambition to end the pirates and make the civilians more safe. As a Marine, Kuzan was a faithful follower of the World Government.

But the incident about hunting any possible rogers child. The Marines were kidnapping and potentially killing pregnant women and young children in the street in broad daylight. He starts having doubts about the justice Marines follow. After that, the Ohara incident happened. His motto used to be Burning Justice before switching to Lazy Justice.

"In this chaotic world, your own belief matters. Everything has its opposite, civilians might think you are justice but from another perspective, you are protecting evil. You who once had the passion to serve justice, now contemplate what path you should follow. You know I admire Monkey D. Dragon for standing up. While you and Garp are cowards, complaining in your mind but still following orders" I laugh "At least even if Dragon doesn't succeed in his plan, he won't regret standing up for what he believes is right" I stand up and get dressed 

"What are your plans now Kuzan? Why don't we watch them? Aren't you interested?" I keep asking

"I will" standing up with an icicle in his right leg.

Me and Kuzan started walking and arrived at the end of the island where the battle was happening. Kizaru and z are facing each other.

"Who do you think will win Neo?" Kuzan ask

"Hmm, it's not hard to see. Z with his big arms and asthma can't follow Kizarus's speed. But it's still dangerous to let your guard down" 

Z in disadvantages, use the dyna stone to scare Kizaru off

Looking at the determination of the people for a change sparked an idea in Neo "Say kuzan"

"Should I make an organization?"

"What kind of organization are you planning to create Neo?" curious 

"I will create an organization that will sever the darkness covering this world. It's time to make a change" I said

"wanna join? Looking at the determination of these people, sacrificing for the betterment of the world truly is beautiful."

"Only powerful individuals are needed. I don't need quantity, I need quality"

I keep talking not caring if he will join or not.

"And what will be the mission of this organization you want to create?" intrigue by my boldness 

"Kill any corrupt marines or pirates even kingdoms that abused their power. I will name this organization the Guardians"

"How do to know if they are corrupt or evil?" 

"Are you interested? I will tell you where my confidence comes to judge others if you are a member " appearing mysteriously 

"I will join you. But if you said isn't true or going to happen I leave immediately" Kuzan looked at me with a serious face

"You can leave anytime you want if you feel that nothing is changing" Looking at the battles "Maybe Z will be interested"

"With teacher Z's conditions he can't do much," Kuzan said 

"Ah? Is that your concern? No need I have my ways. I can even restore your foot if you want" looking at his popsicle foot" 

"You can do that? Please do that. Look at my severed leg, I always remember that bastard akainu"

"Let's go and invite your old teacher. I hope he joins us. With 2 admiral combatants " using kamui I bring aokiji where the battle is happening. Z two students are knocked out. Z battling all the marines alone with many vice admirals just watching withe sad faces. They are here to witness Z's last moment to give him the respect that he deserves for teaching them.

Even Kizaru with the most laid-back personally feel sad. He and teacher z don't get along very well. Nonetheless, he was the one who taught him how to use haki and the six styles of the marine. 

Dyna stone scattered all over the place "What a spectacular battle you have there Kizaru. Pika pika no mi is really strong, don't you think Kuzan?" 

Hearing this voice marines Pause to look at us. After spotting who is speaking all the vice admirals who are only here to witness Teacher Z's last moment start preparing for the worst

"Speed and offensive power plus its logia. I he can surpass akainu if only Kizaru is slightly ambitious" Kuzan who's on my side commented

"Ara, what are the fifth emperor of the sea doing here?" Kizaru said slowly. He looks normal but you will feel that he was readying himself if the worst came to worst.

"Demon Neo one of the emperors"

"Former admiral aokiji"

"What are these two people planning by coming here?" Vice Admiral Doberman

"Don't be so tense we're not here for you marines hahaha" looking at Z with many holes in his body, nearing his end

"Hello to you. You have admirable credentials, Former marine admiral, former marine instructor, instructor of the three strongest admirals in the history of marine, and now a fugitive. Wanted by the world government and trying to destroy the new world with one piece in it so pirates won't exist anymore. Truly admirable dedication" Z's eyes burn with determination but his body is deteriorating. His body can't keep up with his ambition

"Say Zephyr no, you abandoned that name already. Z Do you want to join us? We plan on killing every corrupt and evil. Pirates are not the only evil in this world, right kizaruuuu? Hahaha" Marines that done evil deeds all paled.

"Kid you have an interesting idea, I focus too much on pirates that I overlooked the simple problem. But even if I want to join you my body won't be able to. Maybe in another life kid" Z said with a sad tone

"I don't care about your body, It's a simple problem to me. I'm more concert with your answer if you are willing to join us"

"Let me join you, kid. I still want to accomplish something in my life. I want to be remembered for accomplishing something and not to be remembered as one of the stepping stones of this government" z said with his new goal and conviction in his voice
