[Port Everdeen, North Blue]
The kingdom of Everdeen, rested in the North Blue, known for its advanced medical field and impressive speeds of ships. The kingdom was truly a prominent power in the North. Sadly, all that prowess was reduced to smoke and ash by the German force. The superhuman mercenary group led by Vinsmoke Judge, ruler of the Germa kingdom, and an exceptional scientist in his own right. Everdeen is just another conquest for the ruler; his recent destruction of his neighbouring kingdoms is just a show of his military power and scientific advancement in the form of his clone army, mindless troops made to kill, and as overkill, he orders his superhuman children to reign chaos on the kingdom.
The painful pleading of Everdeen citizens looped across the kingdom, this was to death's ear as Judge's main enforcers laughed at the need for mercy, shooting whoever was near and destroying buildings that housed futures.
Reiju Vinsmoke, the only daughter and poison raid suit user released more toxins into the air, reducing the pleading to coughing messes of blood. Her face was emotionless. Her brothers enjoyed the mayhem, moving freely, picking victims to kill in whatever way they found most creative.
"Oi! Yonji–watch where they spill're brain matter, my shoes aren't made to step on filth." Niji scolded, whipping someone's remains on a wall.
"My bad." Yonji, half-assed apologised, shooting a mother and child, trying to run to the port.
Ichiji noticed his brother's carelessness, "Hey idiots–make sure they don't make it to the ships, we need to take all the parts since we raided all the medic supplies." He announced.
"Sure thing." Niji responded, grinning like a madman," These weaklings have some impressive advancements; father will not be pleased." He chuckled.
Yonji laughed with him.
Smoke engulfing the kingdom as more of its beauty parishes, another kingdom has fallen to German rule.
Tashigi watched with utter defeat in her eyes, sent by Lady Tsuru to investigate recent activity in the North Blue, her and Hina assumed this would be a manageable task but once their ship was attacked by the Germa vessel, all hell broke loose, officers slaughtered by bullets that tore through bones, the ship sunk to the ocean in under a minute, Tashigi remembered boarding the emergency boat with Hina and a few survivors, the dire situation became ten times worse by the reality of Germa 66, not the myth they speak of in the academy, actual monster soaring in the sky while laughing and the attack was devastating, fire, lightning and wind all at once. Not a storm but a man-made force. At full display, Tashigi has seen the destructive nature of Ramos and the Admirals, but that was controlled; this was just pure chaos. Their expressions reminded her of François, the way he took joy in toying with human organs left her sleepless for many nights.
"Don't hurt her!" Tashigi yelled at the soldiers holding Hina roughly by her hair, her Captain was brutally beaten by the raid suit users, a coordinated attack that they could barely react to. Tashigi barely felt her haki the minute the poison hit; all function in her body was gone. Even now, she can barely move, no restraints, just biological warfare.
"Please...don't hurt her." Tashigi pleaded, her voice breaking through the words, glasses broken, face wet with tears. All she can do is cry.
The Germa soldiers continued torturing Hina, treating her as a toy by shoving her between them, kicking her side, and the most sickening act was licking her neck.
"You sickos!" Tashigi spat out, veins bulging on her forehead, gritting her teeth so hard that her gums started bleeding.
"I swear once I get up–I'll kill you all slowly," Tashigi promised.
The soldiers halted in their fun, turning to her.
"Oh–it seems like glasses still has some fight to her. Hehe." A soldier mocked.
"Yeah, one toy is no fun, bring both of them." Another clone suggested.
Like a hive mind, they moved to Tashigi, still holding the unconscious Hina, and they were ready to play a more twisted game.
"W-wait. Noooo! "
"L-let me go, you bastards –" Tashigi protested, not merit as they dragged her neck to Hina, ready to commence a new game. "
Wooosh
Before they could touch her, the wind abruptly picked up, and a strong current pulled the clones to the ocean.
"Aaahhhh!" Screams of men died in the waves, the clouds darkened, and the wind continued its violent dance. Tashigi looked in awe at the turn of events. Soldiers dragged to sea as if owned by the water, the raid suit users froze as if sensing a threat greater than themselves.
"Retreat. " Ichiji begrudgingly said, giving his siblings a serious expression, they moved to the Germa vessel.
Tashigi was left on the emergency boat with Hina, her captors now off to wherever. She felt a sense of relief until a pair of boots stood in front of her, looking up at the person, a tall man in a dark trench coat, face hidden by darkness.
Doom
Lightning struck, illuminating their face and Tashigi froze, blood going cold at the person who saved her.
"This can't be..." She trailed off.
Her saviour was no other but the most dangerous man to the World government, the leader of the Revolutionary Army and thorn to Garp's legacy, Monkey D. Dragon.
The most wanted man loomed at her, wind calming at his presence, "Marine. " His voice was deep, no emotion at all." I can't assist you fully since we're enemies but I can heal you two." He stated.
"Why help us?" Tashigi questioned, heart still beating.
"I do not hate Marines...I hate the ones you serve."
Tashigi knew exactly who he was talking about. The Marines were created for two purposes: apprehension of pirates and protection of the Celestial Dragons, the descendants of the 20 Kings who formed the world.
"Ivankov. We have two injured. "
"On it!" A flamboyant voice responded.
Tashigi bowed her head in shame, "T-Thank you."
"Do not thank me for kindness, just being grateful you weren't assisting in the slaughter of a kingdom. " He clarified. Moving with the wind, he vanished from her sight.
