New World, Whitebeard Pirates.
The Whitebeard pirates were surprised to hear that Whitebeard had a biological son, all of them were gathered together in front of Whitebeard.
"Pops, the marines are saying that, he is your son."
"I don't have a son."
Whitebeard said to the crew, but he regretted it immediately as he looked at the sad face of the crew.
"What I want to say is that, I don't have any biological son, you guys will always be my sons."
Whitebeard looked at Edward Weevil with anger.
"Then who is he?, why did the marines claimed him as your son?"
All the Whitebeard Pirates were full of questions.
"I don't know."
Whitebeard looked at Edward Weevil closely, suddenly he saw Bakkin, who was with Weevil. Whitebeard remembered her, she was also one of the member of the Rocks Pirates. Thinking of Bakkin and what she used to do in the Rocks Pirates, Whitebeard face turned pale.
...
Kaido and Big Mom also recognized Bakkin.
"Wororororo.."
kaido start laughing, he never thought that someone would do something like this to Whitebeard.
...
"mamamama.. I never thought that Bakkin would stole Whitebeard's gene. This is a good show." Big Mom also laughed.
Whitebeard was angry, he already knew what had happened, he was angry and drank several barrels of sake, he was unable to quell the anger in his heart, he wanted to explain it to the outside world but exposing will even make this even more embarrassing.
The Whitebeard pirates were also angry at this.
"Pops, what should we do?"
Whitebeard looked at his sons, and looked at Edward Weevil in the screen.
"Kill him."
...
The identity of Edward Weevil made a huge uproar all over the sea. No one knew the truth about this, so everyone were thinking that Weevil was really Whitebeard's biological son.
Sengoku, who just reached Sabaody, was busy answering many calls from different kingdoms, many of these calls were related to the Doflamingo and Dressrosa.
All seven names of the Shichibukai were announced, and now it was his turn to show up.
Sengoku checked his uniform and walked towards the stage.
The camera moved towards the Fleet Admiral of the Marines. No introduction wad required, everyone knew about Sengoku.
Sengoku came to the stage and looked at the Seven Shichibukai.
"From now you are allied with the marines and world government, remember your identity and don't cause any trouble in the sea."
All seven have different expression, but they didn't dared to say anything to sengoku.
...
"As expected of the Fleet Admiral, the Shichibukai doesn't even dare to say anything to him."
"No matter how terrifying the Shichibukai are, they are under the marines and the World Government."
Many people were sure that the Shichibukai system will be best for the sea, and with the marines and world government above them, the Shichibukai didn't dare to do anything to the innocent peoples.
...
Sengoku didn't take his seat to sign the agreement with the Shichibukai, instead he walked towards the Koch gravestone.
A Marine followed Sengoku, carrying a den den mushi.
Sengoku looked at the den den mushi.
"It's here, right under my feet is where the corpse of Koch was buried."
Everyone looked at Sengoku, who was standing right above koch's grave, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Everyone knows that Koch died on Grove one of the Sabaody Archipelago, but this small island was heavily protected by the marines, no one was allowed to see the Koch gravestone. This was the first time the people were watching the exact place where Koch died and was buried.
Many people looked at the screen, they were feeling sad, although Koch was a pirate but for these normal peoples he was a hero.
"Koch, he has done many evil things but at the end, the marines killed him right at this place."
All the pirates were looking at sengoku.
...
"Sengoku didn't have to this." Whitebeard said as he looked at sengoku standing above Koch's grave.
...
Red Haired Shanks drank sake silently as he watched the show.
...
Kaido looked at the high spirited sengoku.
"Inform the newspaper, if Gion and the others are willing to join the Beast pirates, then I will destroy that island."
...
Sengoku continue his speech.
"Many people think koch as a hero."
As soon as this word comes out, the sea was in an uproar. Although many people also think Koch as a hero, but they didn't dare to say it loud. Koch was a pirate after all, but this sentence should not have come out from the Fleet Admiral of the Marines.
Everyone can't figure out what Sengoku meant to say.
"No, he doesn't deserve to he called a hero, he was a traitor, a small minded criminal."
Everyone were puzzled, just what Sengoku was trying to say.
"All strong pirates were well know all over the sea, but no one knew about Koch before, who is he?, where did he came from?, why was he unknown to the sea even with such strength?, but Koch was not stranger to us, Koch was a Marine before he decided to betray us and become a pirate."
Koch used to be a member in the recruit camp, and this identity of Koch was completely covered up by the marines and they were unwilling to reveal it, because Koch was still alive and if exposed, it may damage the reputation of the Marines.
But now Koch is dead, Sengoku has no other worries. Sengoku want to destroy koch's great reputation. Everyone thought that Koch want to help people, but now he will be treated as a traitor. The people will start to think that Koch did all these things just to take revenge against the World Government and the Marines, not to help these people. This will destroy the influence that Koch brought to the sea.
Sengoku's word shocked the world again.
"Koch used to be a Marine."
All people that were watching the show were shocked. Although Koch died three months ago, but Koch was still famous. From the day of the invasion of the Holy Land to until now, everything releated to Koch gets the attention of the sea, and one of the thing that the world wanted to know about Koch, was his true identity. Because no one on the sea knew anything about koch, it looks like Koch appeared out of thin air.
"So Koch was a Marine. Were the marines secretly training a genius."
"Since Koch was trained by the marines, why did he left them and become a pirate?"
"Just what happened between Koch and the Marines?"
Everyone were curious, they stop talking and listening to Sengoku carefully, they don't want to miss any information.
"It's true, Koch used to be a Marine, he was a student in Marine's recruit camp and was taught by instructor Zephyr."
When the people heard that, Koch was the student of Zephyr, they were even more shocked. Three months ago, Koch fought with Zephyr, and Zephyr was almost killed. That was the battle between a student and teacher.
...
"Why is Fleet Admiral saying these world?, The marines won't achieve anything from it."
Smoker said to Hina, they both graduated from the recruit camp and with their talent and strength, they both were given Lieutenant rank.
Hina was also confused, Koch was indeed a member of Marine's recruit camp, but he was fired from the camp, so saying these word will only bring bad reputation to the marines, unless.
"Fleet Admiral want to increase the reputation of the Marines by using Koch's strength. when the world learn that koch become so strong because he was trained by the marines, many young people will definitely joined the marines, and the reputation of the Marines will also increased."
Hina said to Smoker, but this was definitely a shameless method, she just hope that her guess was wrong.
Sabaody Archipelago.
Sengoku was still giving his speech. Koch was dead but his influence has not disappeared, the peoples were not afraid of Celestial Dragons and the world government any more. After Koch death, few Celestial Dragons went to the sea but all of them were attacked by the pirates.
So, the Marines and the World Government decide to remove the influence of Koch from the sea, just like they have done to the Rocks Pirates and Roger Pirates.
No-one from this generation knew anything about the Rocks Pirates. And many people hate Roger for starting the great pirate era.
Sengoku want to remove all the influence of Koch by making him the criminal, and a bad person in the eyes of normal people and at the same time increasing the Marine's reputation.
Sengoku was proud of himself for creating such a great plan. His few words will create a huge damage in koch's reputation, and the Marines and world government will cover up everything releated to Koch and within few years, the sea will forget about Koch.
Sengoku then explain about Koch's past, how his hometown was destroyed by the pirates, and how Koch was saved by the marines.
...
"koch's hometown was destroyed by the pirates, so why did he become the pirates himself, shouldn't he hate pirates?"
Many people start to judge koch's decision, and his character.
...
Sengoku continued.
"Marines rescued Koch, who was only eight years old and brought him back to the Marine's Headquarter, and he became a member of the Marine's recruit camp. I used to think that Koch, whose hometown was destroyed by the pirates, would hate the pirates and will become a great Marine, but I never thought that he would betrayed the marines and become a pirate himself."
...
"I never thought that Koch was rescued by the marines, but he betrayed the marines and became a pirate."
"Marines saved Koch and trained him, without marines, how can a eight years old survive the cruel sea."
"Don't make conclusion just from one person's words."
Sengoku plan was already taking its effect, many people that respect Koch start to be suspicious, and this is what Sengoku wanted.
...
"Hina, is this true?"
Smoker asked Hina, he didn't knew anything about koch. Although they used to be in same class, there was no communication between them, and when Koch become a pirate, every things related to koch were covered up by the World Government and the Marines. so, smoker asked Hina, who used to a good friend with koch.
Hina frowned slightly, she knew about Koch, almost all words that came out of Sengoku's mouth were false.
"Koch and Gion were from the same island, and when their island was destroyed, Gion was already eighteen years old and she already has the strength of the Rear Admiral. With her strenght, she can easily survive in first half of the Grand Line, they didn't need any help from the marines. And the Marines didn't even find him, It was Gion that brought koch to the Marine."
Hina said to Smoker, she used to be good friend with koch and Koch has told her about his past.
Hina looked at Sengoku, she just realised, what the Fleet Admiral was trying to do.
...
Sengoku continued and many people were listening to him silently, they wanted to know, why did Koch betrayed the marines and become the pirate.
"Koch performed very well in recruit camp, I value him very much and wanted to train him into a future Admiral."
Sengoku didn't dare to tell that the marines fired Koch from the training camp, it would be hard to believe that, instead it will damage Marine's reputation, the marines fired such a talented and strong person from their training camp, the people will think that marines were blind.
"I value character more than the combat power, if they had bad character, not only they will not protect but, they will be danger for the sea. I wanted to train Koch character but I didn't expect that something like that happened."
People were curious, just what had happened between Koch and Sengoku. In the whole world, the most fearful thing is the cliffhanger.
Sengoku didn't explain anything about this, he let the people guessed themselves, people imagination is wild. Sengoku method was indeed effective.
...
"I am leaving."
Smoker said to Hina, he didn't want to watch this anymore.
"Hina want to keep watching." Hina shooked her head, and kept watching.
...
"Good job."
The Five Elders were in a good mood, when they saw this, especially hearing the responses from the major kingdoms. This event was very successful.
"Although Koch's reputation was damaged, but this is not enough. There are many people who didn't believe all of these without any proof."
"No need to worry, all of them will forget about Koch within few years."
...
"Captain."
Yasopp and other member of the Red Haired pirates looked at Shanks, they met with koch before and knew about him.
"Sengoku want to damage Koch's reputation and reduce his influence on the sea."
Benn Beckman said to the crew.
"If one day we were also killed by the marines, the result will also be the same."
...
"Good or bad, who cares. He was already killed by the marines."
Kaido said, and start to drink again.
...
"History is written by victors, the winner will become the king and the looser will be treated as a criminal."
Doflamingo said as he looked at Sengoku, although he didn't know much about Koch, but he did know the methods of the world government.
Bartholomew kuma looked at sengoku, who was still standing on the grave of koch, he can only pretend not to see, he didn't have any choise. Just like Koch sacrificed for his crew, he is also ready to sacrificed for the revolutionary army.
'Even if Gion stands up and speak for Koch, it won't change anything.'
...
"Koch is dead, and everything about him has also ended, so I have forgiven him. However, the remaining members of the Sun and Moon were deceived by Koch, and many of them were innocent. They even left him alone to die, when Koch face the Admirals."
Sengoku seems to care about the remaining members of the Sun and Moon Pirates.
...
Many people start to think about sengoku words, the pirates were cruel and if they left their captain to die, it can only mean that they are not loyal to their captain.
"No wonder Koch fought alone against the three Admirals, and the remaining member escaped without care."
"Even the Vice Captain Gion didn't support Koch and escaped, looks like Sengoku is talking truth."
But there are also few people who still support Koch.
"Koch fought alone against three Admirals, because he knew that the chance of their survival was zero, he fought alone so that the remaining members can escape alive."
...
Whitebeard was also thinking the same, if he was in koch's situation, he would also be willing to stand against all enemies by himself and gave his sons a chance to escape.
"Pops, even at such moment, we won't leave you, even if it meant death."
"No matter how powerful the enemy is, we will not leave you."
Whitebeard looked at his sons and was moved, and thought about Koch and the Sun and Moon Pirates.
...
Sengoku let out a long sigh of relief, he was proud of his performance, it was perfect. He didn't say anything else and went towards the Shichibukai, and took his seat.
Sengoku looked at the Seven Shichibukai, and many people also stop talking about Koch and looked at the screen, the main part of this event was going to start, signing the agreement between the world government and the Shichibukai.
Everyone's attention immediately shifted to Shichibukai, many people didn't want the Shichibukai system be to established, even some marines didn't want the Shichibukai system, they can't trust these pirates, how can the marines trust the pirates.
Sengoku obeyed the order from the Five Elders, he trust the world government and their methods.
"I know that many people were afraid that, the Shichibukai will misused their power, but you don't have to be worried, if the Shichibukai dare to misused their power then, the marines will capture them."
Sengoku said as he looked at the den den mushi.
The normal people were happy to hear this, this was the most worrying matter to them.
"What?, you will arrest me. Didn't you promised me, that you will never arrest me, if I joined the Shichibukai."
Edward Weevil, who was not that smart, said to Sengoku.
Sengoku's face was instantly ugly, are you an idiot?, that was the private agreement, how can you just exposed that.
Doflamingo and the others looked at Edward Weevil speechlessly
"Shut up." Bakkin reprimanded her son angrily.
Sengoku then looked at the den den mushi again.
"Everyone should be curious about, why did the marines didn't support Dressrosa and let Doflamingo become the king of the country."
Doflamingo was a pirate, and when he become the king of the Dressrosa, the marines didn't send any support. So, many kingdoms were afraid that the Shichibukai will attack their kingdom next.
"We have investigated this matter, and I like to show you the result of the investigation."
It was the video from the video den den mushi, the marines send some reporters to Dressrosa and record everything, about the evil thing that the previous king has done, who slaughtered many innocent citizens, and about Doflamingo, who saved the country and become the hero of the Dressrosa.
After looking at the reports, many people were convinced that the Shichibukai can bring peace to the sea.
"We send the marines to capture Doflamingo but the citizens of Dressrosa didn't let up capture him, so we gave him the position of Shichibukai."
...
"That Joker is a good person?."
Kaido laughted at the stupidity of the Marines, he knew about Doflamingo, and knew that all of these were false, but many normal people who didn't know the character of Doflamingo, think that all of these was true.
...
"Shichibukai system will be great beneficial to the sea, and if they did any harm to the normal citizens, then I will be the first one to go against them."
Sengoku said to the sea, with Sengoku's word, many people start to belive in the Shichibukai system.
Except for the pirates, other people have no resistance to the establishment of the Shichibukai system.
...
New World, Dressrosa.
Robin and lily have already found the previous king Riku, and they all were gathered at the same place.
King Riku looked at the screen, where Sengoku announced Doflamingo as the King of the Dressrosa, he clenched his fist.
"Okay, I will help you."
The girls came to him and ask to support them, but he was already feeling hopeless, he killed many innocent citizens by his own hand, but looking at the current situation, he saw some hope. He finally can bring this country to its previous state, he can finally destroy the darkness that surround this country.
"Then, the only thing left was to turn every toy back to normal."
Robin said as she looked at Sugar, after sugar was knocked out everyone will return back to normal and everyone will also remember them.
"Violet, did the captain reached the Sabody?, I didn't want to watch his show."
Robin said to Violet, she was running from the world government all her life and she knew just what kind of methods they can use. Koch saved her and gave her a home, where she can be free from any worry. She doesn't want to hear anything bad about Koch from Sengoku.
Violet used her spying ability and looked towards the Sabaody, after searching for few minute, she found Koch and the girls.
"They already reached the Sabaody Archipelago."
Sabaody Archipelago, Grove One.
Sengoku and the seven Shichibukai were ready to sign the agreement.
A marine came and gave the agreement paper to all seven Shichibukai, all the paper has the signatures of the Five Elders and there was also the signature of the Fleet Admiral Sengoku.
The whole world is watching, after the seven sign the agreement, the Shichibukai system will be officially established.
Sengoku watched at the Seven people, who were reading the agreement paper. There was a smile on his face.
Koch is dead, the Shichibukai system is formed to balanced the strength of the sea, the sea will be calm in the future, as the Fleet Admiral, this will be his greatest achievement, and this will also decreased his work load.
"Did you receive any news about the Sun and Moon Pirates.?" Sengoku asked the marines and the World Government agent, that were standing next to him.
The agent shook his head, there were many Marines and world government spy, all over the islands, every place was covered by them.
"They didn't came."
Sengoku frowned slightly, he thought that the remaining members of the Sun and Moon Pirates will come to stop this event.
Sengoku knew about Gion's character, she would definitely not stand when the marines humiliate koch's death in such way.
He knew that, this may be the last chance to kill the remaining members of the Sun and Moon Pirates, if they didn't came then it will be impossible to find them.
Sengoku looked at the den den mushi, he didn't want to miss this chance.
"Koch is already dead. If the remaining members of the Sun and Moon Pirates are willing to surrender, I will give Gion a chance to be a member of the Shichibukai, this.."
"I am not interested." A cold voice interrupted sengoku.
Sengoku was surprised to hear that voice, and looked at the sky.
The seven Shichibukai, who were ready to sign the agreement also stopped and looked towards the sky.
...
Shanks was surprised to hear that voice.
"Why did Gion went there."
That was the stupidest move, there was Fleet Admiral Sengoku, and many Vice Admirals, she can't survive.
"Koch was humiliated by Sengoku, how could the remaining member of the Sun and Moon Pirates do nothing."
Benn Beckman said to shanks.
Red Haired Shanks gritted his teeth.
"Captain, if we were in their situation, we would do the same." Yasopp said to shanks.
...
The den den mushi was faced towards the sky, everyone saw a beautiful phoenix appeared in the sky that flew towards the Sabaody Archipelago.
The remaining members of the Sun and Moon Pirates were here.
...
"Why did she went there?, if she joined my crew, I could have destroy that island."
Kaido said with anger in his voice, he knew that Gion will die and the devil fruit will be lost.
...
Bartholomew kuma looked at Gion, he was afraid of this. He was not sure, what to do, should he help Gion and help them escape or should he pretend not to know them.
'Boom'
Gion landed with huge force, and Hancock also jumped from Phoenix back, Shakky also flew down with Stussy and Belo Betty.
Sengoku looked at Gion, Hancock, Stussy, and Belo Betty, they were the strongest member of the Sun and Moon pirates after Koch. He then looked at shakky, who seems around twenty years old, he thought that she was a new member with zoan bat devil fruit, so he didn't take her seriously.
"Thr Sun and Moon Pirates have some strength even after Koch death."
Sengoku looked at Gion, others were weak and rookie pirates infront of him, Sengoku was not afraid of them, there were thousands of marines and ten Vice Admirals, and now there were seven Shichibukai on their side, and with his strength, he alone can defeat all of them.
Sengoku looked at the Seven Shichibukai.
"From now, you are the member of the Shichibukai, and also the subordinate of the world government, it is time to show your strenght, why don't you help the marines to capture the remaining members of the Sun and Moon Pirates."
Sengoku thought of another brilliant plan, if the seven Shichibukai capture the remaining member of the Sun and Moon Pirates, it can improve their reputation.
"There was not such agreement today, and I haven't signed the paper yet." Hawkeye Mihawk said coldly, he was not interested in fighting the Sun and Moon Pirates.
Bartholomew kuma also put down his pen and looked at sengoku.
"I also haven't sign the papers yet."
Jinbe also put down his pen, and didn't say anything but, Sengoku understand the meaning.
Crocodile also put down down his pen, but he was neither agreeing nor denying.
"I am not interested in fighting with Gion or Stussy, but I can help to capture others."
Doflamingo said to sengoku, Gion and Stussy were strong and he didn't have confidence to fight against them. When Doflamingo attacked them previously, he guessed that the Ope-Ope devil fruit was eaten by Belo Betty, and no one know about that, so he want to capture her.
"Son, this is a good opportunity to make a name for yourself."
Bakkin said the her son.
Edward Weevil took his naginata and stood up.
"Leave this fight to me."
..
"Sengoku." Gion looked coldly at sengoku.
Sengoku also looked at Gion, but he felt something was wrong, suddenly he turned back and looked at the huge saber that was coated in haki coming towards him.
"KOCH"
