[Mariejois]

[Pangaea Castle]

Mariejois was located on the Red Line on the opposite side of the world from Reverse Mountain and served as the official route for people to cross between the two halves of the Grand Line.

The other path was under the Red Line by coating a ship.

The capital of the World Government’s interest was here, 10,000 meters in the sky. 

It was here that the very top members of the Government, alongside the Celestial Dragons, reside.

Even beyond the city is the Pangaea Castle which was allegedly home to the Supreme Authority of the World Government—the Five Elders.

Mariejois was protected by the Commander-in-Chief, Chief of Cipher Pol and Cipher Pol ‘Aigis’ Zero and the mysterious God’s Knights.

[Pangaea Castle – Room of Authority]

Brilliant light entered through the wide-open windows, gracing the chamber with incredibly clean air.

Gold-plated walls, white furniture and grand architecture; an air of authority concentrated amongst the Five who sat at the majestic room’s center.

The Elder with the sword, Saint Ethanbaron V. Nusjuro, sat on the sofa and placed a single bounty poster on the table.

“Einar D. Damien, are we surprised the chaos was caused by a D.?” he sarcastically said.

The Blond Elder, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter, the youngest-looking one, also gave his thoughts: “Not only that, this Damien has now joined under that Rocks’ flag. Alongside another troublesome young pirate named Kaido.”

“This is no longer about the unruly pirates, it’s about the constant challenges to the World Government’s authority… it has been questioned again and again,” the Scarred Elder, Saint Jay Garcia Saturn, chimed in.

The Long-Bearded Elder, Saint Marcus Mars, also spoke, “It’s best to keep a tight lid on the news, we cannot allow things to get out of hand. Keeping them in the chaotic New World is best; let them kill each other.”

“And this ‘Sin Incarnate’? His father was a problem and it seems the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. The death of three Celestial Dragons is on his hands.”

The last Elder, Saint Topman Warcury, clenched his fist.

“It is best to nip them in the bud before they can truly sprout and blossom,” he said in a tired tone, “however, the Overlords of the Seas and the other bad names are draining our forces, focusing on the future threats while allowing the present one to thrive is not without mistake.”

Shing!

The V. Nusjuro unsheathed his blade just enough for his reflection to shine at the razor-sharp metal.

“Let Cipher Pol surveil them at Fishman Island, have the Navy ready to catch them when they resurface to the New World.”

“Outside of that, we need to curb the ambition of that Xebec, he’s far too dangerous to be left alive!”

[The Same Day]

The ship was a little overcrowded.

Damien was given a small room, just large enough for him to lie down in, unfortunately, Kaido and Whitebeard did not have this luxury.

The dive to Fishman Island would take a couple of hours.

Damien had just walked into his room to take a nap but suddenly felt a familiar tingle.

*Purrup*

His shadow seemed to grow fluid as a figure jumped out, an instance of deja vu.

Damien’s hand was instantly locked on the arm of the attacker and began to flail in the air.

“Even if I can’t sense you when hidden, you’re just too slow!”

Damien used this moment to examine the one attempting to take his life while she struggled in his grip.

The body was covered in a black shawl, a dark hood covering the face.

“Now, go to sleep.”

Bam!

“Trouble?” Shakky’s voice echoed in the hallway as Damien looked by the door that was ajar.

“A stowaway.”

Shakky eyed the knocked-out assassin and hummed, “Looks like one of the Bounty Hunters who terrorizes cocky pirates, the ‘Terror of Sabaody.’”

“Preys on either the fools who want to haphazardly waltz into the New World or those running from it, suspected of having a rather special Logia Fruit.”

“The Aether Aether Fruit.”

Damien scratched his chin in intrigue while pulling up the fruit’s details in his mind.
