The Temporary Island of 'Tsukanoma' is an island the size of only a few kilometers that was with in the Calm belt of the South Blues side. It was a simple plain island. But after the destruction of the Citadel, the World Government needed an immediate place to continue the operations of Judiciary sector of the Governments business
Through paying local Corporations to use their labor forces to begin construction while then using Government funded Construction Crews to not only get the materials, but then have outside companies ship it, guided by Battleships, and then in tandem both began construction after flattening the entire Island in a day.
A few of the Working Class journals had scoops mentioning that thousands of workers were on the site. And were using the strongest amongst them to flatten the entire thing in a singular day.
Through this overworking and low wages, the Island had infrastructure built within only a week. And then after two, material was laid down, three weeks, it began to be built up. And then in a month. Before Barbary even made contact with the Red Sash pirates.
It was known as 'The Ridge' a monstrous building a hundreds of feet tall and over a hundred meters wide. The tent colony that had been formed from the workers was torn down, And the Building that served as lodging for any Government worker.
Leroy walked through the dock with guards behind him. Marines with large fire arm semiautomatic rifles. Guards with Dogs that were as tall as to meet some of the mean at the hip barked loudly. Leroy in turn-
Barked back "BARBARBARBK! GRRRRBARK!" It was guttural, primal, surprisingly…Scary. It caused the Dogs to quiet down "Yeah shut the fuck up. Dumb ass dogs." Leroy loved dogs. But man, did he hate when they barked toomuch. It was also to act out as much as possible
"Keep fuckin movin!" The Marine said behind him, pushing the Captain ahead. The streets were clear but unlike the Citadel, there seemed to be no other buildings around but merely a large arch that went from being exposed to the air to being encased as two large literal giant sized doors opened to reveal blue and gold carpet embedded into the ground. Electricity and window shining light in as many carvings and decorations were in the walls. More dogs, and Marines walking around.
There was a noticeable lack of CPA agents. This was due to the fact that the World Government chose to partially Decentralize their Judiciary branch, splitting it from the Intelligence Agency's island.
Well dressed individuals walked the halls. Office dress as many would consider it but in the colors and style of the World Government. At the far end of the Hall as they went through another large set of doors. A man bouncing his leg wearing a olive green suit. The man had slicked back brown hair with white streaks on the sides. He wore square wire glasses. A Suitcase next to him.
Two marines stood in front of him. Clearly badgering him. Insults spewing and the like "Wow couldn't imagine a mill rat coming out this far? Who knew that they actually had lawyers! Hahahah!" The Man Ignored him. He spotted Leroy and stood "Gentlemen, if you would excuse me. My client is here. And Unike some who wish to ignore their duties, I have mine to attend to. Good day" They looked shocked by the sudden sharp tongue from a man who had stayed quiet
"Gentlemen! Thank you for escorting my Client. If you wish you may follow, butas per the agreement of the Laws the World Government has in place, I am allowed moments with my client before the trial." His eyes looked from one to another
"Alone." He stated
The two looked to one another. And the nodded their heads up to gesture them away. The Lawyer put his hand on the back of Leroy and guided him down the hall. They stopped. They were not allowed to be too far away
"Silence." He said under his breath, snapping his fingers. A strange haze for a moment appeared around them and then dissapeared. "What do you mean Sil-"
"I wasn't talking to you. My Devil Fruit. The Calm Calm fruit. Allows just as the name says, in addition to allowing for me to create an area that allows no Sound leaveit. But you can hear the outside just fine. Notice the lack of echo?" He said. It sounded as if they were in a confined space. No echo what so ever.
"Falcon D. Leroy. I am a Lawyer. Your Lawyer, specifically. I am a friend of your fathers. And I share rank with him as being a member of the militia.Specifically, I am the head of Law. And the Commander of the Trois Division. The South Blue Branch of the Militia."
Leroys eyes widened. His dad? The Militia? They were here? For him? Why? What were they planning for him here? And Law Division, that fascinated Leroy. He really enjoyed the notion of the Militia. A revolutionary force. Liberators. He even found it quiet enjoyable that they were Labeled terrorist. Because so was he…
"My…Dad?"
