Chapter 25 -To the Grand Line!
In Marine Island.The four marines,three admirals one fleet admiral were talking.”Should we employ Plan X and Plan Z?” A Admiral said.”No,employ them a year later,first gather the marines,at least twenty hundred thousand,two million to be exact.”
After nine years the total number of marines had risen to thirty million,exploding after the sixth month.Now they could sent more soldiers in the islands and even more Avengers who reached an exploding number of a hundred million people!
But the pirates were even more with an unknown number.No matter how many people the marine had,the pirates were even more.Thus they probably are experimenting heavily on pirates.
But no person knew.They had no facts.

In the boundless sea,a huge ship was moving.It was the Shirokuro pirate’s ship.A huge ship enough to fill a hundred people easily.”Miru,when will the food be ready…”Kuro was muttering.”Wait a bit,It will be ready in two minutes” Miru replied in a shout from the kitchen.
“Two minutes?!”Kuro was smiling.Two days had passed since they had sailed into the sea again.Kuro loved Miru’s cooking.It was heavenly,and even better than his previous personal cook in the island.
They were three days away from the Red Mountain which was also called the Red Continent.But then they’d have to face great danger.Kuro’s appetite was growing each day and if not for him mastering the Greed Devil Fruit it would’ve been even worse.
“I got a cook,swordsman,nagivator and shipwright.The people I now need are archeologist,musician,sniper,doctor and maybe other random places like chronicler,another warrior and fisherman?”Kuro said loudly,Miru and the other heard him.”This ship may be big but not for random people…”Ketsu said with a sigh.
“The food is ready!” Miru said as the crew immediately stood up to their feet and entered the kitchen.It was around twenty to thirty meters big.Enough to hold a lot of more people.Before them was a grand table of delicious dishes.
“Captain,no I mean Kuro where are you?”Miru said,” I am here”Kuro answered,he looked around and saw Kuro,he was already seated and had started eating.”FAST!”

Two days later.They were just one day away from the Red Mountain but they could already see it.Haken could see it even more clearly with his postion,at the crow’s.”Guys...There is something wrong!” Haken shouted.

“ I can sense at least ten thousand heartbeats at the top of the earth.They are all headed towards us.I can smell iron and other materials!Are they trying to ambush us?!”
It was true.After all these battles,Kuro’s bounty had surpassed 70.000.000 Beri.It was extremely rare to leave such high bounty pirates leave.It would raise the number of casualties in the Grand Line a lot.
The Vice Admral,Suwen himself updated the bounty.Suwen was a vice admiral under the command of the Fleet Admiral,Shiroyami.He was one of his intermediate tier vice admirals.”It will probably take a few hours before they start firing.”Kuro said.”If we take a change of directions now it may take a while to enter the Grand Line again.” Yuki said.
“What about using our newest weapons?” Ketsu said,”Weapons?”Kuro asked.”Yes.I created twenty rooms where twenty weapons resides.Five are empty.The best weapon for the current situation is the Sonic Burst,which may help us pass the Red Mountain in one shot.”
He explained what Sonic Burst is.It was a weapon which raised the speed of the ship for a certain amount of time by 500%.It was almost half the speed of the sound.When used,the back of the ship changed to a huge cannon supported by two smaller cannons forward.So that the pressure doesn’t destroy and smash the ship.
But it needed a lot of fuel to be activated,and that fuel was a devil fruit’s power.It could only work for people with devil fruits.It would be hard for one person to do that,but for Kuro it was easy.Three hours passed.Kuro,Haken and Miru were playing cards.
The marines with some tools could see them and were dumbfounded.How could they be so calm in such a situation?Let alone 70 million even a 100 milllion bounty pirate would be anxious against ten thousand marines.
As the ship came closer and closer the marines realised.They realised that even if the pirates did nothing,they would do something.Their leader,a Commander was furious,even he felt a bit scared.”ATTACK!SHOOT!”He roared.The marines raised their guns and shot.The hard sharp metals flew towards the ship.
“Two Cuts,Of the Earth!”Haken muttered as he swung his sword once,unleashing two cuts which looked like they rose from the earth.The bullets were cut in two.”Unleash the cannons!”The marines got ready for a cannon attack.But yet again they were cut in two by Haken.
“Dark Tremor!”Kuro muttered as dark energy shot towards the core of the mountain.Crash!The core cracked and a part of the mountain where the marines stood slightly fell,at least two meters.Although the total damage was small,half of the marines were either dead or injured.
