"So another one of your Brats is here! Jack." Nokotori jeered at Jack at the bottom of the scaffolding as the three admirals continued to sit in the thornes on the patio connected to the Scaffolding.
"Shut it!" Jack snapped back
"What's wrong, Jack?" Kuroryu leaned forward "Upset that only a few of your students turned out well while your own blood turned into this?" He furrowed his brow, locking gaze with Jack
"Enough!" Muromachi ordered. The Admirals abided and leaned back. Leaving Jack staring up at the three. His fist tight. Knuckles turning white from tension
Muromachi was deep in focus. His eyes watching as Falcon D. Leroy slammed a fist into a marine who attempted to grapple him! Leroy screaming in his face as he held himagainst the ground with his forearm
"Give up! You wanna die? Then what! Get a fuckin' medal or some shit!" The marines eyes looked at Leroy with terror and fear. Leroys teeth grit as he snarled "They've betrayed you. Laying your life down for this…"
Leroy ground his teeth as the Marine raised his hand in surrender. With a harsh slam of his forearm, he leapt from the ground and suddenly leapt into a trench! Foot slamming into marines, fist shooting them out of the air! Dust, debris and mud of the trench shattering!
'I need to think about this quickly.' Muromachi thought to himself. His brow focusing as the wind of battle rustled against his beard and chops. 'Red Sash…The Man whose been burning to quickly. To brightly…The world knows about his Grandfather. But if anything happens at his hands here. That could reflect badly on the Marines and Government. It could waver their belief in us if they know only about Jack…'
Muromachi's eyes lock to Jack, his arms crossed as he looked out to the Battlefield. 'There far stronger people here than that brat. But the media is watching' He turned and looked to the room in the Main Base that was currently filming and broadcasting this War.
The Fleet Admiral Breathed a sigh. 'If he continues to soar…Garnering all this infamy without something to tarnish. A man like that could become far more difficult to smear and dissuade the public from…Especially those who don't have faith in the Marines-'
'Yet.'
'Not only would it sow Dissent. But it would also allow people to think that they can get away with becoming a Pirate and getting in the way of Order and Justice.' The Fleet Admiral closed his eyes. Breathed. And began to speak through the PA System
"Attention!" He began! "All Marines! Another Pirate has entered the Battlefield!" He raised his hand as he shouted
"Falcon D. Leroy! The Man who killed a Celestial Dragon! He's come to sow more destruction!" He raised his hand in a command
"That Man! What else do you expect!" He breathed.
"Than from the Son of The Revolutionary Tiger!" The Whole world now knew that Leroy. Jack. And Tigre were all related.
"What? Did he say that- Red Sash is the son of Tigre the Terror?" A Reporter suddenly stopped writing and looking over to another beside him.
Mutters filled the entire world. There had been nothing that said that Tigre had a Son?! From back water islands, to advanced technological paragons. War Torn nations all pausing to listen to the reports of the war, to Rich gaudy government aligned islands.
All were left in shock
"That means that- The Hero Of The Marines…His sons Tigre…And his Grandson is Red Sash!" Another Reporter said
"You didn't know? It's been well known and thought that Red Sash and Jack are related. It just was never a fact if Tigre was his son…Leaving the father and Jacks son a mystery. Till now!"
There'd always been rumors and whispers of such familial relations. But the world government had done well to cover up Tigres name. Given that he did not start with an enormous bounty. Or a bounty at all when the Militia was Formed 15 years ago. And when it was issued. They were able to scrub it given the threat and actions he had done.
But for someone like Leroy. Who'd already had former bounties. There was no hiding it. Just as it was with Gol D. Roger
"Did you hear that?! The Fleet Admiral Just declared a massive revelation!" Spoke the News Caster broadcasting the War to the entire world!
"The Notorious Pirate, the Man who is said to have slain a Celestial Dragon, the Infamous Terrorist, Falcon D. Leroy, is the son of the Revolutionary Tigre!!"
"Tigre…" A Marine spoke "I know that asshole! His militia burned my island to the ground!"
Another nodded and added on "Yeah! The radicalist! He's killed a bunch of people! I heard he wants to give shit away and steal from people like a worse kinda pirate!"
"Then we gotta kill that Red Sash! He's just like his father!"
Muromachi finalized it all. With a final Decleration "Today we will end two damnedable Bloodlines! And keep the world safe!"
"Yeah!" The Marines all cheered! Locking eyes onto Red Sash as he ran threw the front line of the battlefield! But-
Leroy was not threatened at all "Bring it on!" He screamed
"I'm not letting any of you stop me from getting my brother!" He roared!
"Hear that Azar! You're my!"
"Brother!" He shouted so loud that his voice shot through the entire island! Brushing over Azars body! His eyes widening!
With a squat, Leroy put his hands on his knees! And forced Gear 2nd to come out! In full throttle!
"Rahh!" Dozens of Marines all from Ensign all the way up to Commodore Leapt towards Leroy! All getting closer and closer in strength! He was surrounded on all sides! Their shadows looming over them, devil fruits activating as even a 30 meter Giant looming over them all! A massive hammer in hand and ready to slam it down on Leroys head!
'I'm not!' Leroy thought
'He won't!' Azar thought.
They both were thinking of the same thing at the same time!
'Let another sibling die!'
In both of the brothers minds. They thought back to the first time they met Sara. How she was just a young thin girl. Covered in dirt and scratches. Wandering in the playgrounds of Copper Way everyday. Swinging alone. With every other kid avoiding her until it was Azar and Leroy who approached her.
Offered her friend ship!
And it was the three of them together that were brothers and sister! No matter if they were related by blood! Leroy had always blamed himself for that day…But he wasn't the only one. Azar did too!
Azar didn't want to put that on Leroy! Dying just like Sara had!
And Leroy didn't want to falter when he had the power to try!
Try and save his sibling now!
"Gum Gum! Hyper- Barrage!" Leroy suddenly Exploded in furry! Hundreds! No! Thousands of punches being thrown a second! Slamming up into the ait at all the Marines descending from the air upon him! He leapt up to meet him as he threw all his punches! Blood exploding as muscles tore and bones broke! Dozens of Marines were sent flying!
But Leroy was not done! "And now! Gum Gum….! Titanic…." His hand began to grow and grown! Muscles pushing against rubery skin before twisting taught into a tight wind!
"You're going down here! Red Sash!" The Giant Commodore screamed! Bringing down his hammer, only for Leroy to throw his enormous attack
"Javelin!" The Attack Launched forward! Unwinding in such immense force and power that it caused a literal localized hurricane around his limb from the wind alone as it slammed into the Giant! Slamming into his face! Crushing his skull and launching the 100 ton Marine threw the air!
At the same time however. At front of the first layer city, Rowdy Row, Stern, and Bailey Wall were all Struggling against a wall of Marines being fortified by by three VIce Admirals! Sardonyx against Rowdy, VIce Admiral Uma against Bailey! And Vice Admiral Havlock against Stern!
"Cmon!" Bailey screamed as he pushed against the Stern buzz cut marine against him! Only for a giant shadow to loom over them, catching their attention
"Shit! Incoming!" Rowdy shouted! Leaping backwards right as the Massive Body of the Marine Giant slammed into the crowd! Including Havlock, Bailey having pushed him before he could react!
The Explosion was massive! Debris shattering as the body cratered and excavated the ground from its impact! Sliding across the ground only stopping once it slammed into the stair case leading up to the second layer, shattering it!
The Vice Admirals were not too injured. But had been dazed momentarily. But other marines were left dead from the weight of the giant going at such insane high hypersonic speeds.
"Where the fuck did that come from!" Stern asked. His helmet cracked in two!
"From me!" A voice caused them to spin around! Leroy slamming his foot down as he finished ascending the stairs to the first laye! An angry look on his face, shoulders squared as he was leaned forward, and covered in debris. Fist balled.
The Path to the Second Layer was now Clear!
And an hour and twenty minutes remained…
