Gunfire rang out from around the No Mans Land as Pirates were barricaded into buildings of brick, wood and Desmarete. Marines sat entrenched in the ground of swales and the stand. Fire from all positions slammed away at the bark of the trees around.
These pirates thrived off of Chaos. The utter turmoil, disorder, and upheaval of all around. They had no goal. They had no agenda outside of such. It allowed them to plunder, kill, and hone their skill in ways of violence.
The blue tinged building that sat attached to a Desamare Tree where the inside was hollowed out and used for flooring and vantage points that connected all around. The Marines having specialty militarized monobikes
"Commodore Maynard, Sir!" A Member of Task Unit 66 'Gladiators' saluted behind the tall man with long lion's mane-esque orange red hair. Large Rectangular googles on his face large bushy mustache and small goatee on his chin ruffled as he gave a hardy sniff. He was on the roof of the blue tinged brick and cement tower that held the logo of the Marines on the front
"At ease." He gave a toothy and jovial smile as he turned back to face the lower ranked infantry. Commodore (Previously Captain until 3 months ago) Maynard Ramon was a very loud and joyous marine that fit a standard believed archetype of the 'Lively Soldier' that was often thought about in the Marines as one of many personalities to strive for
"Report." Maynard said as he held his large hands behind his hefty naval blue Surcoat that had double breasted buttons like a waistcoat in the front. White dress shirt that clung to his very large arms and biceps creased as he held position
On top of his Surcoat was dark metal armor that covered his chest and had a 'lip' that came up and slanted forward from the armor. Two arched shaped pauldrons on his shoulders
"Squad 20 has made headway into Downy Street. The Calculators estimate we now control 56.3% of Stand 99! Sir!" Desamare as a Whole was 1295 km^2. 35 Km wide and 35 long. With the Average stand being around 2.5 km. And swales being a general 1 km in size. The Largest of which was the 'Capital' in the middle. Stand 1 was about 7.3 km wide and long.
"Good." Maynard said as he walked in and looked at the map of stand 99. Many circles and 'x''s on the largepaper that showed the currently held territory of the Marines. Taking a small pusher, Maynard pushed up the small blue studs that represents squads of 5 up.
"Push this through to the front lines." He said as he moved three studs to the left of downy street, then moving 5 studs down the middle and having from the right split into two companies of 3 squads to incircle them "Sir!"
The Marine rushed out as Maynard looked over the tactical maneuver map
He was a man that was once a slave to a country far off. Where he and many of those in his main Squad that was known as 'Task Unit 66' were once Gladiators
Afterwards they joined the Marines and proved themselves to be an Incredible patrol and Task Unit for virtually any task that took place in Paradise, operating mainly out of Leviathan Base
Leviathan Base. One of the Largest Marine Bases with in paradise barring Marine Ford. This base is also referred to as G-4.
With nearly 25,000 active personnel. This is an intense collection of the world's super power. Many commissioned officers are stationed at this base. With many recruits actively trained here before being sent to one of the many blues. Rather this be in the east or one of the many wars happening around the world on islands that the general population doesn't know about.
From an armory, to a ship harbor, barracks, a training field, and an entire large town. This Base is the size of an entire island. Stretching many kilometers long.
This as well is where many operations are headed and kept track of, from documents to navigations. Missions from marineford come to Leviathan and down chain of command.
The armory of leviathan is home to many advanced weapons. But these may only be deployed to Marines of sufficient rank. As it would cost to much money in the Eyes of the world government to arm everyone with sufficient weaponry.
Leviathan Sits somewhere near the middle of the Grand Line. Past Jaya Vanem, but before Water 9
Currently the Rest of Task Force 66 was spread through the Isle of Sabaody handling different things that pertained to the Agenda of the Marines
Elsewhere around the island were many individuals that were also rising through the Ranks of Piracy.
From a Woman Named Benitez El Adela. A hard headed and hair triggered woman that was a secret admirer of one Falcon D. Leroy given she had arrived on cactus island after Leroy had nearly died at the hands of one Rango Scotch. She'd moved quickly through the world to hopefully one day become in her own word 'The Most Beautiful Woman in The World.' though that would take quite a bit of work to accomplish…She was a Fire haired Red. Standing at only 5'0. Wearing typically seductive but casual wear. Which was to describe most of her supple appearance which she took great pride in as a woman.
She was known as the 'Love Dove'. A woman with a bounty of 136,360,000. She was typically under the radar in terms of action. Acquiring a Bounty so high due to her reputation of pulling the strings of politicians to get her way. Honest, Confident, Compassionate, Ambitious, Straight Forward, Arrogant Prideful, Anxious, and Short Tempered. There was a reason why she could utilize her Love Love fruit so well and that was one of them.
Almost on the Exact opposite side of the Island.
The Music of a high pitched and strained vocal cords, lyrics of how the world doesnt truly care about those that are on islands like these. 'They don't really care us' was one of the lyrics that screamed across a crowd of thousands on a stage as the Diva that was on stage.
Magnus Aria. The Devils Maestro or more Commonly known as The Virtuosa
A Icon, Diva, Idol. She was one of the most popular musicians in the entire world that was also a famous pirate with a bounty of nearly 260 Million. Though she is never pursued by marines due to her lack of real violence but given her quick growth as a 'Pirate' they had to do something about it
Her goal was simple. To compose the greatest song that will ever be heard and be marked in history
'A Feast for the eyes' as many of her fans so diligently described her. Straight Raven hair that flows to her lower back and faded into a dark teal. Long eyelashes on a small but sharp face with blue eyes where one held a black dot beauty mark under her right. Both eyes were sharp and burning. A she wasn't the most 'Buxom' of women as so many cared for in appearance. But her general figure was slim and was quick and lithe. She hopped and skipped around the stage as she sang her soul into the microphone.
Sing Sing Fruit was one thing that definitely helped her vocal prowess. But another term for it made it obvious as to why she had it 'Diva-Diva fruit'. Fiery, Sassy, Uncarding for others yet still managing to sing in a way that spoke to the opposite. Paranoid, anxious and even a joker. She was a strange one to say the least
