One piece : Celestial Rose

Mark wanted to build his crew and he needed people, for this he was going to Navy Hq to get one person, this person was someone who had a lot of potential.

'The devil fruit this person has, it's something which can shine in the hands of a scientist.'

'I want to get this person and show them how to use their devil fruit, in the most scientific way possible.'

'If this devil fruit is used correctly, it will become one of the strongest devil fruits in existence.'

'All I have to do is find someone who knows about this fruit's element, I am sure I can find someone who has research into this field.'

This world had many people researching a lot of different things, not only in the present but also in the past.

It was pretty obvious, or the ancient civilization wouldn't have the technology to build three different kinds of ancient weapons.

Be it devil fruits, cyborgs or the biggest killer named ancient weapons, Mark had reasons to believe that everything was created by ancient kingdom using technology.

As for Vegapunk? He was just inheriting and rediscovering a lot of things that has already been discovered before.

'The world government knows this as well, it tries it's hardest to destroy any technology breakthroughs or tries to master it for themselves.'

This was why Mark decided to take the most brainless sounding path, collecting a crew, it was all a ruse of course, to let the world government lower it's guard against him, a man who had intelligence rivaling vegapunk.

But all Mark needed was a chance, technology wasn't always about labs and metal, technology can show itself in various ways, devil fruits for example had infinite potential and possibilities.

It was something which can be called a rule based weapon, and Mark would use science and devil fruits to catch Im off-guard.

'And when that happens, I shall sit on the empty throne.'

Mark had already decided what he needed to do, a plan was already in place, his father and mother both were a part of it too.

Who's who meanwhile could sense the sheer will emanating from Mark, and his beast instincts was making his hair stand on end.

He could feel it, it was as if the leader of his pack was showing his majesty.

It was as if Mark was preparing for a great hunt, and Who's who's instincts made him all but ready to tear apart anyone standing in his king's way.

*Foosh*

And just like that, due to sheer urgency and desire to help his king, Who's who managed to unlock his observation haki.

It was still subtle, but it was there, and Who's who couldn't be happier, he could help Mark to the best of his abilities now.

"Good job Who's who."

"I don't know how you managed to sense my willpower, but it seems to have helped you unlock observation haki."

Mark turned towards Who's who and praised him seriously, Mark was practicing observation haki for over ten years now, he could sense the state of Who's who very well.

*Growl*

An animalistic growl came out of Who's who's throat, he accepted the praise and showed off his power at the same time, his instincts in animal form demanded him to show his strength to Mark.

Mark just smiled at the show and then ignored Who's who, he was currently focusing on the faint land that was becoming visible in his observation haki range.

"We are finally here."

Mark exclaimed, they were still multiple kilometres away from navy headquarters, but Mark could sense it now so it felt a lot nearer.

And just like that, time passed quickly, Mark's ship was soon visible to the navy headquarters.

A man standing on guard looked through the telescope and quickly called up the highest person in the navy headquarters.

The fleet admiral, Sengoku.

"Sir, a ship with pink rose figurehead is coming in."

"I don't recognise the flag, but this looks like a world government ship, should we let them in?"

Fleet admiral Sengoku was looking at his transponder snail, which had taken the shape of the soldier calling him.

He sighed heavily after hearing the report, it seems he already knew who was visiting them.

"Prepare to greet the ship, it's a celestial dragon visit, I'll come down as well, do not make any mistakes soldier, give them the highest respect."

Ending the call after he heard the soldier's nervous gulp, Sengoku rubbed his head and muttered.

"Why are you running to Navy headquarters all of a sudden? I don't know how much damage the celestial dragon will cause, shit."

Sengoku cursed angrily.

When the Elder's informed him that a celestial dragon was about to visit, he was shocked, they mostly don't visit the navy headquarters.

Truth be told, navy works for celestial dragon's but celestial dragon's aren't exactly the most reasonable bunch, any damage they cause here would hurt only their rule.

So celestial dragons normally try to stay away from the Navy Hq.

"The Elder's have really done it now."

Sengoku murmured, he got up and began walking out of the office, he had to meet the celestial dragon in person.

He had notified everyone important about this visit too, Tsuru had taken care of any soldiers who would be meeting the celestial dragon during this visit.

Everyone who stayed here was warned to not act rashly and give the highest respect to Saint Mark.

"Garp! Why aren't you picking up the call!?"

But there were some people who didn't pick up his call or see his reminder, Garp being one of them.

Sengoku cursed Garp in his mind, he tried for the 15th time to contact him but Garp didn't pick it up..

Because of this Garp didn't get the news about the Saint Mark's visit, he dosen't know that a celestial dragon was visiting the Navy Hq.

Now Sengoku can only hope Garp doesn't do something too big to anger the celestial dragon.

His hero status can help him but even that had limits.
