The huge sized ship approached from the depths of the fog and what everyone saw now before them. It was a an island, very broad island which was densely packed with trees surrounded by that was a dirty coloured outer wall. There were four black steel chain which ran attached to four areas of the wall and where it lend to was at the highest point of the mansion which was centered in middle of the island.
Right where the four chain connect, above it was black flag which had a skull on it, on its head was a small crown, at his side was two wavy deformed shaped and its bottom was a two curved and straight points. At the front area of the wall was a big pink coloured mouth and at the two poles which were at the back. The two white which had vertical lines running down it had a Thriller Bark written on it.
"Thriller Bark,"
"This name seem a bit familair," Motoa massage his silver beard as looks on the ship which doesn't seem like another ghost. Although the state of it is even more gloomy than the ship before it still looked like an active ship.
"This ship belongs to Gecko Moria, one of the Warlords of the sea," Joshua calmly said as he look on the island ship which was twice the size of their ship. Just by getting a mere glance of it Joshua can directly tell it was Moria's and otherwise from Brook who resides here, he is the only other person.
"Thats right, leader of the Thriller Bark pirates, Shichibukai Gecko Moria,"
"The old man must going senile to forget something like this," Motoa answered as rubbed his forehead and lightly sighed in elderly tone.
"Warlord of the sea," Guzen eyes flashed with a thin ray of red when he heard this. No-one in the entire sea cannot say they don't the Shichibukai. After all, they are powerful group of comprised individuals who work in service for the government. There purpose and the reason why they are created is the balance out the power at sea and deal with pirates like themselves through sea.
But the navy and the world who puts face above all would not just gather and start a system just for this. Absolute not, why it is formed is to somewhat balance out the Four Emperors who reign as hegemon in the new world. This so because the power of just one of the emperor is too strong, that even the world government themselves have to put in place such a thing.
"Never expected to run into a Warlord in the Florian Triangle," Laffitte smiled as he said. This was really never expected, but their was no wave, even if his bounty is 20 million more than their captain's.
Joshua did not say anything, Gecko Moria should have arrived in the Florian Triangle 12 years back and with 6 years gone, he must captured a lot of ships. Stole their shadows and then turn them into zombies. After a brief of silence Joshua moved a forward a little and the chains on his black cloak daggled faintly. Seeing Joshua move off , all eyes slowly fell on him.
"Since we have come across a warlord of the sea, why don't be pay him a little visit," Joshua sneered under he high neck of the cloak while is eyes flashed. He knows they will eventually run into Moria, so personally looking from him is a waste of time.
"The idea sounds good," Guzen grinned widely as he answered in agreement. Then Laffitte unhurriedly moved to the ship wheel and then started the ship his ever plastered smile rose a little more, Nixon was sat on the stone seat smirked a little. Motoa who stood some distance at the side of Joshua coughed lightly.
No one is stupid, the visit that Joshua speak is not mere visit, the hidden meaning behind it is as clear as daylight.
.....
Navy Headquarters-
Highest floor.
Inside a spacious room, around a round table which had the word justice written right across it, there sat many navy soldiers with the base rank being a lieutenant general. The air in the room gave off a slightly suppressed state, and with the vice admirals faces being a a little solemn also such dense environment multiplied by decimal figures.
The sound only which was heard throughout the room was, the soft furred white goat that chewed on the several shades of green leaf which had dicots and monocots vein running through them. Up to the left hand side of him, there sat Sengoku whose face was a little gloomy.
To his right, there was a seat which had the navy's symbol on, from every chair around that was the only which did not have any sited person.
"The brat actually won against two vice admirals,"
Few countable words were spoken and the room door which was closed and these such sounds and movements made everyone who sat around the table consciously look who has just come.
"Garp why are you happy for the pirate's victory!" Sengoku slammed the table as he looks on his figure who just walked in. His faint gloomy face carried a little traces of visible anger.
There walked in a tall, tanned skin individual who was munching carelessly on some freshly made crackers. He had on a light grey formal suit, on his strong built shoulders there laid a navy jacket whose cuffs had a red colour and two pairs of separate horizontal black lines.
He had grey coloured hair which had few stripes of black, the expression on his messy face was very carefree and eccentric. Just from movements he carried was not like any high ranking officer.
This is a vice admiral of the marine but no ordinary vice admiral for he was the one who caused pirate king Gold Roger be in a desperate situation on several occasion.
Hero of the Marines, Garp.
"Hahahahaaa....," pieces of chips fell from his mouth and the loud outburst he made caused the slightly tense feeling to be destroyed. He did not reply to Sengoku but continued to laugh as he but carried his untroubled self to the seat near him and sat down with his legs on his deck.
"We are about to hold a meeting, can you be attentive for once," Sengoku who had a two popped up veins in his head angrily said as he looks on Garp laid back.
"Sen....sengoku, free up, y...you sho....shouldn't be so de....dense in your old age," Garp whose words did not come out properly because of his stuffed jaws said with crumbs all over his face.
"Who is old!"
Sengoku took his angered expression off Garp, he did not just to continue argue with him, cause is he did it the meeting would just be Garp and he going back and forth at it.
Tsuru, Aokiji and all the others who were present did not say nor did they have change in their expression when the heard both Sengoku and Garp at it. This is so, because this has become normal like drinking water in a regular.
"Despite Garp saying that, even though we stretched it, and sent two vice admirals they still could not have cope with Joshua. (With him being in the grandline, its of no surprise that they information on what his name his.)
Tsuru who sat to the left hand side of Sengoku said tapped the right hand finger of hers on the deck.
"That's right," Sengoku's face which had returned to a little gloom answered in a slight dignified tone.
Although, many days have passed by size the incident and during this time period they have used many ways to eliminate the impact of this. The news is still circulating in the grandline which mean what happened was no small thing. For they have lost two high ranking soldiers that were the backbone of their entire organization.
The power each one wield is at high grade and losing any anyone of them, your basically losing a essential asset of a company. Now when this happens an immediate backfire will occur upon the establishment. As seen when the two lieutenant generals died in Joshua's hand, a pirate which was not known in the sea sprang up and instantly became one of a top supernova group.
This accident caused the navy's face to be hit a little because of the dying of two vice admirals.
"The strength of the boy grew more than just a point," Sengoku whose glasses reflected a clear haze of light said said as as he light but also heavily rests his hands on the deck. Tsuru nodded in agreement, for you to be able to take on and take down a two vice admirals at the same time either haki, devil fruit power or power overall must have levelled out or reached a higher standard than them.
This is something that Sengoku eyes narrowed for, the who have calculated and thought out what will be the outcome was not it but went in favor to the side which is not of justice.
"Odamo is really wasteful, he couldn't even deal with a insignificant pirate, now hedied in such a scoundrel's hand and that Dalmatian who is what he is, died a dog's death, couldn't even save the face of the navy, are both the disgrace of the marine."
The persons who spoke was sited at the right lower side of the table with a folded leg. He had on a straight dark red suit which had a pale pink flower located at the right area of his chest. The undershirt he had on seemed like a hawain shirt with little coloured flower, his arms that were folded hand a pair of black glove on each.
The upper chest near neck region, a not fully-made-out purple-deformed line tattoo was seen. His slightly tilted rough, despised resolute face had a huge spliff which released a smoky air and on his head he had on a cap which had the word marine imprinted on it.
This is the newly promoted admiral Sakazuki otherwise known as Akainu.
