Ascension Or Journey From World To World

Sabaody Archipelago. <Shakky's Rip-off Bar>.

Three months later.

A man with white hair was sitting on a bar stool and reading a fresh newspaper.

In his right hand was a glass of red wine … or maybe it was gr.a.p.e juice?

"Ah, quelle merveilleuse boisson," the man said happily.

"What does this phrase mean?" a man with blond hair asked.

"That means, "Ah, what a wonderful drink." I don't understand why I like to drink gr.a.p.e and pomegranate juice so much?" a man with white hair answered.

"Hahaha, you are probably the only person who enjoys regular juice. Aren't you a pirate? Shouldn't pirates drink sake right out of the barrel?... Or maybe right out of the puddle on the floor? Hahaha, pirates are different," a man with blond hair laughed.

"Interestingly, Does Whitebeard also drink sake right from the puddle?" a man with white hair asked.

"Everything can be. Hmm. Earlier, Whitebeard had magnificent hair, but now he has become bald... maybe he drank sake from a puddle and got some disease?" stroking his beard, reasoned a man with blond hair.

"It's good that this old man does not hear your words," a man with white hair said.

"Fufufu, Ray is right. You, like no one else, should know the character of Whitebeard," the woman with short black hair giggled.

"It seems to me that if Whitebeard heard your words, he would chase you across all the seas," the girl with pink hair said.

*Nods*

*Nods*

"This is entirely possible," a man with blond hair replied.

"Bonney, have you finished training with your new sisters?" looking at the girl with pink hair, a woman with black hair asked.

Bonney's body began to tremble, and her face became pale.

"They are Monsters !!! They are real monsters! Especially Gabrielle! I thought she was the calmest and kindest. But she made me run through the desert with a huge uncomfortable backpack behind me," Bonney began to complain.

"It's good endurance training. The harsh desert conditions should have hardened you," she said, looking at Bonney.

"Running through the desert was not so difficult. But Gabrielle flew after me and threw hundreds of <Holy Spears> at me! It was the rain of spears! She said: "I have to purification your body." I almost died… Uwaaaaaa. This was so hard. They forbade me to eat pizza! Ray take pity on me. I want you to spoil me," Bonney jumped into the arms of a man with white hair.

Ray hugged Bonney and put her on his l.a.p. Bonney immediately hugged Ray and buried herself in his c.h.e.s.t.

He began stroking her head.

"Hehehe. They did all this just for you. Now you've become much stronger than you were three months ago," Ray smiled.

"I know that they did all this for me. Thanks to Gabi, I was able to improve my Observation Haki. I just missed you," Bonney said quietly.

"Ara ara, Bonney is so brave," covering her mouth with her hand, Shakky said.

"Well, she always showed affection for Ray, but at that time she looked like his little sister and it was not so noticeable. But now, she looks like a young woman and they have become like real newlyweds. Hahahaha," Rayleigh laughed.

Bonney was a little embarrassed.

"Hehehe, newlyweds. Bride, bride. Hehehe. Now I can learn from Albedo-nee. She is the most experienced young wife," Bonney began to imagine different scenes.

"The most experienced young wife?" Ray whispered.

Bonney continued to dream, being in the arms of Ray.

Shakky looked at Ray and asked: "Ray, when are you planning to meet Zephyr? And why are you so sure that he will agree to follow you?"

Ray simply waved his hand and a white folder appeared on the table in front of Shakky. There was an inscription on the folder, <CP-0. Reports>.

Shakky opened the folder and began to read, after a few pages her eyes widened, she continued to read further. After reading, she handed over the folder to Rayleigh.

Rayleigh began to read the report and his face immediately became serious.

*Sigh*

"I would never have thought that it was not the pirates who killed the Zephyr's family, but Cipher Pol's agents. He was an Admiral. His strength was never in doubt. But these bastards decided to kill his family so that Zephyr would not have any attachments and he continued to serve the <World Government>", Rayleigh said with a sigh.

"Twenty-three years ago, CP-0 agents received an order from the <World Government>. The order said, "Kill all the inhabitants on the island where Admiral Zephyr's family lives." And then they distorted all the information. Having written in a newspaper, that pirates from the New World attacked the island," Shakky said.

"If you show this report to Zephyr, then he will hate <World Government> even more. But are you sure that he will not want to begin to take revenge, but will follow you?" Rayleigh asked.

Ray nodded confidently.

"If he follows me, he will have the opportunity to take revenge on the <World Government>," he said.

"I still can't understand. Why did you choose Zephyr and not Garp or another Marine? Garp also hates <World Government> and now he is much stronger than Zephyr," looking at Ray, Rayleigh asked.

"Zephyr believes in Moral Justice, and he's a great instructor who trained most of the Marines, including the three future Admirals. And most importantly... he's not such an idiot as Garp. You yourself know how Garp behaves," Ray said.

"Hahahaha, you're absolutely right. Garp is a real D and his position as a vice-admiral does not affect this," Rayleigh laughed.

Ray looked at Shakky.

"As for when exactly I will meet with Zephyr... this will happen in the next two days. At this time he should conduct training for his students at sea," he said.

"Be careful with his students, there may be rats among them," Shakky said seriously.

Ray nodded, he looked at Bonney and saw that she was sleeping peacefully.

A gentle smile appeared on Ray's face, he lifted Bonney like a bride and carried her to his room. Ray walked slowly, trying not to wake Bonney

Shakky looked at his actions and smiled. Then she looked at Rayleigh.

"Old goat, you need to learn from Ray. Look at how tender and loving he is for each of his wives. You will never have your own harem unless you learn how to care for women like Ray does," looking coldly at Rayleigh, Shakky said.

Rayleigh began to sweat.

[Heck. Ray, it's all your fault!]

_____

Grand Line. Marineford.

At the port of Marineford, a large battleship anchored.

Battlesh.i.p.s are the main combat power of the Marines.

This ship type is the mainstay of the Marines in the Grand Line, and it is also the one used during a <Buster Call>.

These sh.i.p.s are used by higher-ranking Marines, such as Admirals and Vice-Admirals.  

These sh.i.p.s have three distinctive triple-barreled guns on their front and sides, which are powerful enough to completely destroy smaller vessels and even obliterate an entire island, though only in groups.

The battleship that was anchored was slightly different from other battlesh.i.p.s. On his sail was written <Zephyr>. This makes it clear to whom exactly this ship belongs.

At the bow of the ship stood a tall man.

The man was wearing a gray suit. A white Marine coat with the words <Justice> was dr.a.p.ed over his shoulders like a cape. He wore small glasses.

This man was Zephyr the <Black Arm>.

Zephyr is a large, muscular, tan-skinned man, standing around twice the height of a typical man. There were short purple hairs on his head.

Zephyr simply looked at the sea.

[I have a bad feeling. Something must happen, something really terrible.]

"Zephyr-sensei, we are ready to sail," came a female voice.

Zephyr turned and saw a slender young woman in front of him.

The woman had reddish-brown eyes and dark blue hair framing her face. She had an indifferent expression on her face. Looking at her face, one could easily think that she was an absolutely unemotional woman. She was a real "cold" beauty. Very often, people like this beauty just try to hide all their emotions so that no one offends them and does not hurt them.

The woman wore a standard, for Marines, sleeveless shirt with a blue tie.

Zephyr nodded and answered: "Ain, pass my order to sail."

Ain nodded, she turned and left to obey the order.

"Raise the sails! Zephyr sensei gave the order to sail!"

Zephyr heard her voice.

He turned and continued to look at the sea.

No one knew what their sensei was thinking about right now.

Ain looked at Zephyr's figure. There were many thoughts in her head, she felt some unknown threat.

Most Marines continued to do their own thing, they did not know that this trip could be their last.

_____

Grand Line. In the sea.

The ship of Instructor Zephyr.

On the deck you could see a group of Marines, they talked to each other and laughed out loud.

"Hahahaha, what wonderful weather," the Marine said.

"We are very lucky. Usually, the Grand Line weather is unpredictable," another Marine nodded.

"This is our last sailing on the same ship. After that, we will be divided according to teams and we will sail on different sh.i.p.s with other officers," another Marine said.

"I would like to get on Momousagi-sama's ship, she's so cool and beautiful," the Marine said.

"Ah, she is so s.e.xy, she has such long and beautiful legs," said another Marine with a red face.

"I would like Gion-sama to step on me with her s.e.xy legs. I want her to trample my body and say that I belong to her and I am her little dirty slave. Aaaaahhhnn, what a wonderful dream," said another Marine. Blood flowed from his nose. He wrapped his arms around his body and began to wriggle.

The Marines looked at this pervert... and... began to nod approvingly.

"I see that you are a man of culture, this is a good dream, I hope you will fulfill it."

Another Marine patted the pervert on the shoulder.

The pervert turned around and began to sob "male" tears.

"Thank you! *Sniff* Thank you for believing in me!" pervert said.

Another Marine approached them and said, "We, perverts, must stick together. Otherwise, this world will swallow us."

From a distance, a beautiful woman with blue hair looked at this group of perverts. Her face was empty, but her eyes were filled with contempt.

"Tch, a bunch of perverts. You must die. The Sea King must eat you," she said coldly.

The woman began to move away from the group of perverts.

She went to the side of the ship and looked into the distance. The woman saw a ship sailing in their direction. The ship was too far away and she could not understand exactly who was on board, pirates or ordinary citizens.

The woman turned and walked toward the tall man with short purple hair.

"Zephyr-sensei. The ship is on the horizon," she said.

Zephyr's eyes widened, a cold rushed through his spine, he felt danger.

Zephyr immediately went to the side of the ship and began to look into the distance. On the horizon, he saw a ship with a pirate flag. The flag depicted a skull with a large white mustache.

"Someone from the Whitebeard crew? No, this flag is not the same as Whitebeard, it's a little different," Zephyr whispered.

Zephyr looked at Ain.

"Pass my order to get everyone ready for the enemy attack. We will battle the pirates," Zephyr said seriously.

Ain nodded.

Aboard a pirate ship.

"Captain, we are approaching the Marines ship, this is a battleship," said a man with black hair and a scar under his eye.

"Aww, uh. I'm the real son of Whitebeard. My mustache is white! So we'll attack this ship," replied a huge man with a disproportionate figure.

He had a muscular figure with many scars, his height was very high. He had bushy blond hair with two braids coming down either side of his face. On his face was a white crescent-shaped mustache. His legs are disproportionately small for his build.

The man was armed with naginata.

"Mommy told me not to battle the Marines, but I'm the son of Whitebeard! I have to kill them all! After all, my mustache is as white as that of Whitebeard!" said the man.

Aside from this strange man, there were members of his crew, they were talking about something.

"Hey guys, after this sailing I will leave this crew. I can't obey such an idiot as our captain," said a man with black hair and a scar under his eye.

"But ... Jack, what will you do? Our captain is stupid, but he is very strong. We got our devil fruits only because of his strength," said the white-haired man.

"You're right, Arnold, we got our strength only thanks to him, but we don't need him anymore. I will create my own pirate team!" Jack answered.

"You are right. We can create our own team. You own the power of the Okami Okami no mi fruit and I own the power of the Ropu Ropu no mi fruit. I can tie the enemies with my rope, and you can finish them," Arnold said.

"We will follow you!"

"Yes!"

"But, what shall we do with Edward? Do you think that he will let us go?"

"When we start the battle against the Marines, we will be able to escape from Edward. I will tie all the Marines with my rope and Edward wants to kill them. He loves to kill helpless enemies. This will give us the opportunity to escape. We will take this ship and begin our own journey," Arnold answered.

"Yes!"

"Let's do it!"

"We will rob and kill!"

"That's right! After all, we are Pirates!"

"Hahaha. Damn right!"

While this group made plans, they did not know that Edward had heard their whole conversation.

"Mommy said that if they want to betray you, you must kill the traitors. Should I kill the members of my crew? Yes! I will kill them all. But first, I will kill the Marines. Hahahaha. No, it's wrong. Mommy said that I have to laugh like Whitebeard. Gurarara. Gurarara! I am the real son of Whitebeard! I have the same white mustache! "

Sabaody Archipelago. <Shakky's Rip-off Bar>.

"So the time has come," Ray said.

He looked at sleeping Bonney, she was sleeping with a happy smile on her face.

Ray smiled and raised his hand. He began to poke Bonney's soft cheek.

Ray leaned over to her face and whispered, "Bonney, wake up."

Bonney began tossing and turned the other way.

Ray raised his hand and brushed Bonney's hair from her little ear. He leaned over and 

... whispered.

"Entoma ate all your pizza."

Bonney instantly jumped out of bed and began to look around. Her eyes were wide open.

She looked at Ray and realized that he had deceived her.

Bonney pouted and turned away.

"Mou, I wanted to sleep longer. Why did you wake me up? Let's sleep some more hours... get back to bed, I will sleep on you," Bonney was indignant.

Ray smiled and began patting Bonney on the head.

"I thought you wanted to test your new strength in the battle against the pirates. But if you don't want to..." Ray began to say.

"I want it! Come on faster! First, we need to have breakfast," Bonney grabbed Ray by the arm and started pulling him into the bathroom.

_____

30 minutes later.

Four people sat at the table.

"We'll leave after breakfast," looking at Rayleigh and Shakky, Ray said.

"Is he already at sea?" Rayleigh asked.

"Yes. And in the next few hours he should run into the pirates," Ray nodded.

"Zephyr are very old and in poor health, but I don't think he will lose in the battle against ordinary pirates," Shakky said.

"He will fight against a pirate who calls himself the son of Whitebeard. His name is... I don't remember his name..." Ray said.

"Edward Weevil. This man is really capable of defeating Zephyr," Shakky said.

Ray was surprised.

"Do you know about this son of Whitebeard?" looking at Shakky, Ray asked.

"Yes. I know about him and his mother. His mother was a member of the <Rocks> pirates. But I do not believe that Weevil is the son of Whitebeard," she replied.

"Are you talking about this shorty? I didn't know that she was a member of <Rocks> pirates," Rayleigh said in surprise.

"She was the treasurer. She managed the money very well. And as you know, my former captain wanted to be the <King of the World> and he needed people like <Shorty> Bakkin," Shakky said.

"Now I understand," Rayleigh nodded.

"Ray, be careful with this man. He is very dangerous," Shakky warned him.

Ray nodded and stood up from the table.

"Bonney, we gotta go."

Bonney went to Ray and grabbed his hand.

*Flash*

The couple disappeared from the room.

"Well, I don't think Weevil can defeat or even hurt Ray. Can't you feel his strength? His strength is already equal to that of the Admiral," Rayleigh lifted the glass of whiskey and looked at it.

Shakky smiled and nodded.

"Yes, he gets stronger really fast."
