Chapter 521 - Consequences

Archibalds body went soaring through the air. Head caves and ruptured like a melon before literally splattering across the far wall. A demonstration of the true physical force that a punch from one like Leroy delivers. Body broken and mangled against the wall. 

Many of the Patrons did not see it. But they heard and only could guess what happened from it. Others though… "Shit! He's Dead! A Celestial Dragons Dead!" A Man spoke as the other two dragons quickly began to make a run for it 

Leroy leapt as he turned just a moment too late to miss the Dragons. Their position was covered by the smoke! Lucky, they were. If not, they'd have faced a similar grizzly fate. Leroy Teeth grit, taking a deep breath and yelling 

"Get out of here! You can only free yourselves together! Run! Get out!" He was screaming to the slaves that he could not see. But they did hear him. They heard him well. He knew he had to say something that would get them moving. Something he believed in… 

Leroy then looked behind him, ready to move to Sujikiki only to see that he was gone! Everything around him indicated that he was no longer in the building. He whipped around and began running up the rest of the stairs. He had to find Sujikiki! 

His shoes slapped against the floor as he suddenly rushed by Howl! Leroys eyes turned behind to lock onto the other Pirates. Before turning back and breaking through the door. He quickly looked for his crew and spotted them! All of them were out of the building. And Dezzi was already quickly at work with Low, who himself was a Doctor and Surgeon, on the unresponsive form of Sujikiki 

The two muttered medical jargon to one another as the worked quickly. What looked to be a small glowing and translucent Octagonal Pyramid whose wides created small 'Walls' as a elevated Perimeter 

Leroy ran up to the 'tent' and crouched "How is he?" 

"He's doing better than before, Captain. Low and I are keeping him stable" Dezzi said as they worked 

"The tent is constantly disinfecting the wounds and our bodies. I can only do so much. My Fruit allows total control within the Theater. But I can't regenerate wounds. Such a feat is impossible unless a fruit has the capability. So we are having to be manual in this operation where I would usually be able to just 'get rid' of the ailment if it was bacterial, internal foreign objects and the like" 

The Ope Ope no Mi. Or the Op Op Fruit. A fruit allowing the user to create a 'Area' in which they have total and absolute control over the basic foundations of everything around. While not being able to change the fundamentals of an object, such as changing water into, say, iron. But they are able to change that water into ice or steam or move it around. As for living beings they can manipulate their shape, but not change its overall geometry. He can do things such as removing and replacing arms telepathically, or dismantling them apart. Just not turn a person into a horse unless it just 'shape' and keeping the same mass of such a macabre abomination

The Op Op fruit is widely regarded to those that had read the Devil Fruit Book to be one of the most powerful fruits with the most utility of all. 

Stomping came thudding and thrumming towards the auction house. An entire platoon of Marines came rushing from one of the nearby Swales, having gotten a distress call from the marines that the Red Sashes had dispatched before the Incident with the Celestial Dragon. 

Leroy stood and walked over to face the Marines head on. His shoulders rounded and his fist clenched. The Red Sashes were spread out ready to engage. 

"Doctor. Can you handle this from here?" Low asked to Dezzi as he pulled his hands away, Dezzi continuing to work "Yes. He should be ready to seal up." 

"Good. Hands." Low spoke, causing Dezzi to recoil their gloved hands. And a floating chunk of Suji's body that was literally floating in the air like a puzzle piece, exposing his ribs and organs that were being patched up. A quick gesture with his fingers, the chest returned and slid into place. No actual wound having been formed to create this, as the supernatural ability allowed the skin to be sealed back as if it never happened. 

Low then clenched his fist in front of him. Collapsing the Theatre. Right after, Dezzi leaned back in to begin bandaging Suji. His breathing was shallow. But he was stable. In the current condition if it did not worsen. He would survive. 

Low raised to his own feet and walked over to Leroy. Standing next to him but a distance away. "What are you thinking?" Low asks "Get Sujikiki out of here after we kick these guys asses. We've gotta place to head to. And we're not gonna abandon that." 

"Sound fine." Low said plainly. 

A stepping and crunching on the ground sounded next to them, causing both Low and Leroy to look to the left. Seeing Bartholomew Howl stop next to them. Eyes looking over to the other two as well. He held no real emotion on his face. He only gave a small breath before saying "Don't get in my way, God Killer." Howl eyed Leroy specifically with narrowed eyes. No hint of reverence or even awe. If anything a tone of annoyance 

"Whatever you say shorty." Before Howl got the chance to act on that insult. The Marines were here. All three standing in front of them as the Red Sashes were spread, Akane up on the roof like a gargoyle, and Low standing lone. 

At the same time that Leroy made his way out 

"Haff…Hafff…Hafff…One of you! Quick! Brace me!" The old man Celestial Dragon, Charleson said. Having felt fear in his heart for the first time in decades at the events that unfolded within that building. The Holy Guards came over and lifted the Dragon up and used their flexed arms at a 90 degree angle to serve as a seat. 

"You! Get Archibald! We cannot allow any of these humans to see this! Guards! Kill anyone you see within a 50 meter radius!" The Female Celestial Dragon, Jezebel said 

Charleson rummaged in his ornate clothes to pull out a small object and palm it in his hands. It was a Snail. A Den Den Mushi! It was made out of diamond! Jagged and shimmering in colors in the air! Charleson pushed the button. And it wasn't even a single second before another voice picked up 

"What is your location and the severity of the Situation." The Operator on the Other Side spoke. "Ihle Desamare! A Celestial Dragon has been killed!" Charleson spat, spittle coating the inside of his helmet. 

The voice spoke immediately and with rushed seriousness "Roger! Admiral Inbound!" 

The Den Den that was held had a singular purpose. Direct access to the Marines, and Particularly the Admirals at any time, for any reason if deemed severe. As well as being able to order, not request, any amount of Marines to command 

A transmission came in directly after. A secondary operator communicated to the Marine Base on Sabaody. Issuing a Threat Level Maximum on the Island. This meant that anyone in and out would need to be cleared through a blockade that was already being mobilized. 

The Sheer military might of the Marines meant that just the Skeleton of this operation would be established in T-Minus 10 minutes. 

"Alright. This is as good of a time as any!" A Man in a brown leather jacket with furlining bound to his chest, baggy military pants and calf high boots 

The man wore a full coverage golden mask with a fin on the top. Two slanted eyes, and a 'grill' of many slits across the front. Standing at 7'8, this man was known as Kinjiro. 

"Operation: Sea Scourge is now in Effect! All Harbingers are to be brought to operation in 5 minutes! Move!"
