One Piece : Herald of the Abyss

The night was silent. The island where Kael Draymour had hidden himself remained still, unaware of the monstrosity that had just been reborn within its borders.

Kael opened his eyes, his body unmoving, yet the air around him shivered with unseen force.

His meditation had pushed him further.

His Haki was more refined. His soul was tempered. The Night Abyss Dragon no longer felt like something he wielded, it felt like a part of him, as natural as breathing.

He slowly stood up from the jagged rock where he had meditated. His breath came steady, but his Conqueror's Haki crackled faintly in the air, responding to his undeniable will.

"It's time."

He turned his gaze toward the horizon. He had lingered here long enough. The world awaited its destruction.

.

At Marine Headquarters, chaos rippled through the ranks.

A month has passed after Zephyr and Kael Loguetown battle, Vice Admiral Zephyr stood before Fleet Admiral Kong, his fists clenched, frustration burning in his eyes.

Zephyr : "Kael Draymour… he's no ordinary pirate." Zephyr's voice was grave. "He fought me in Loguetown, and I barely walked away from that fight. If we let him go and he keeps growing at this rate....we need to search for him now"

The room fell silent.

A single name was enough to send a chill through the highest-ranking officers of the Marines. Rocks D. Xebec.

And now, rumors are spreading. Had Rocks taken an interest in this rising force of destruction?

Zephyr : "We need to act now," Zephyr declared. 

Zephyr : "I'll hunt him down myself if I have to."

Kong remained quiet for a moment before responding.

Kong : "No. This requires more than just you."

His eyes hardened.

Kong : "If Kael is aiming for the New World, we must be ready."

Kong : "And we must be prepare of the event that coming up" 

Garp : "Tch… The God Valley event huh" muttered Garp

Sengoku : "Garp, watch your mouth"

Kong :" Enough, we need to prepare our forces to guard the celestial dragon at the event… we know that Rock's are not going to be silence through this event's"

Kong : "And Zephyr… The Elder Stars are already sign the proposal of your Admiral promotion, your inauguration are going to be couple days from now… so be prepare and congratulation" exclaimed Kong

Zephyr : "Thankyou Marshal…."

Garp : "Bwahahaha congrats Zephyr… i know you can do it" Laugh Garp

Sengoku : "Tch… Garp, why you always declined the position of admiral that should have been yours" 

Garp : "Bwahaha… you know me sengoku…."

Kong :" Alright…. Let's us prepare for what is coming"

New World

Deep in the New World, aboard a massive, fortress-like ship, the Rocks Pirates roared with laughter and excitement. Rocks D. Xebec sat upon his throne-like chair.

Shiki leaned forward, intrigued. "Think he'll join us, Rocks?"

Rocks' grin never faded.

Rocks : "He's already proven he has the strength to shake the world."

His eyes glowed with dark ambition.

Rocks : "Now, we see if he has the will to defy the gods."

The crew around him stirred.

Shiki stroked his chin, thoughtful. "Are we gonna bring him into the crew?"

Rocks : "I want to see what his ambitions are. If he truly wants to rule, then he'll find his way to me. If not…"

Rocks :"Has Linlin and Kaido returned yet ?....."asked Rocks

Newgate : "They are on their way with the devil fruit…"

The Rocks Pirates' flagship, a behemoth of iron and wood, drifted ominously in the New World's most treacherous waters. The waves crashed violently against its hull, as if the sea itself resisted their advance.

Rocks : "another thing that i must discuss ....let's wait until the other returns" 

his fingers tapping rhythmically against the wood. Before him, a confidential document lay open, retrieved from the hands of a now-dead World Government agent.

The words written on the parchment confirmed what he had long suspected.

The Celestial Dragons are gathering at God Valley.

A place shrouded in secrecy, a sanctuary of the so-called gods, hidden from even most of the world's elite.

A slow, wicked grin spread across Rocks' face.

Rocks : "Heh… so that's where the rats scurry when they feel threatened." smirked Rock's

.

Days Later

.Linlin : "Rock's… here's the devil fruit you asked mamamma" smirked Linlin

Rock's : Good job…." says rock's

Kaido :"Tch …. We should go and look for that kid Kael.."muttered Kaido

Linlin : "Mamamam whats up with you and that kid….do you like him mamamama" laugh Linlin

Kaido : "Bastard … i just want to beat him to let him know who's the strongest" angry Kaido

Rock's : "enough…. Now tell the other to gather at the war room now…" ordered Rocks.

Linlin :" Mamamam … is there any new movement that you are going to take?" asked Linlin

Rock's : "You will know by then…."

.

Moments Later

Newgate leaned against the wall, arms crossed. His eyes, full of suspicion, locked onto the document. 

Newgate : "If they're meeting there, it ain't for something small. Either they're hiding something'... "

.Standing to the side, Shiki the Golden Lion watched with intrigue. 

Shiki : "You think this is legit? A gathering of Celestial Dragons out in the open? That's damn near impossible."

Rocks exhaled sharply, his eyes gleaming with raw ambition.

He glanced at the corpse of the World Government informant, still slumped in his chair, throat slit from ear to ear. The man had sung like a canary before meeting his end.

Rocks : "The Five Elders will be there." exclaimed Rocks

Linlin : "Maamama~ma! A secret meeting of those pompous fools? If we crash their little gathering, imagine the chaos!" laugh Linlin

Kaido, sitting at the far end of the table, cracked his knuckles, his sharp eyes glowing with anticipation. 

Kaido : "Tch. If it means a fight with the strongest, then I'm in."

John smirked. "And if we steal whatever they're hiding? The whole world will never be the same." 

Newgate, however, remained quiet. His gut told him that whatever God Valley held, it wasn't something to take lightly.

But Rocks?

Rocks were grinning like a madman.

His Conqueror's Haki erupted through the room, sending a shiver down even the spines of his most hardened commanders.

He slammed his fist on the table, causing it to splinter.

His eyes burned with a hunger for destruction.

Rocks : "We're setting sail for God Valley."

.

Mariejois

a sense of celebration permeated the air. The Celestial Dragons, usually calm and indifferent to anything that could threaten their hold on the world, had suddenly become agitated, their meetings becoming more frequent, their guards more watchful.

And there was only one reason why, the events unfolding at God Valley.

Saint Roxhas : "Hah… saint Rose, my slave will be faster than yours in the hunting ground…..hahaha" Laugh a Celestial Dragon.

Saint Rose : "Tch… i should have just kill that lowlife the day i bought it…"exclaimed Saint Rose Angry

Saint Roxhas :"Well you will have a chance at the event next week hahaha."

.

.

Pangea Castle

The Five Elders, the highest-ranking leaders of the World Government, sat in a high-security war room beneath the Mariejois palace. Their faces were grim, their usual air of calm stoicism replaced by a palpable tension.

Saint Warcury : "The Rocks Pirates are planning to move toward God Valley," 

One of the Elders spoke, his voice heavy with dread. his fingers drummed against the table, the creak of the wood echoing in the silence as they look at the report from the spy intelligent of CP.

The room fell into a tense silence as the other Elders considered his words.

The gravity of their words weighed on everyone in the room. The Valley of the End was more than just a sacred ground; it was a place that held secrets that could unravel the very foundation of the World Government.

.

Marineford 

Across the sea, at Marine Headquarters, Kong, the fleet admiral, stood at the head of the Marine war council. His face was set in a grim expression, his hands clasped behind his back as he paced.

Kong : "Rocks D. Xebec and his fleet are mobilizing for God Valley. They know the Celestial Dragons are going to be there later this week, and their presence is no coincidence." exclaimed Kong

Kong : "We can't risk the Rocks Pirates or anyone else reaching the Valley. We need to move fast and ensure that God Valley is secure. There is too much at stake."

The room was filled with tension as the highest-ranking officers processed the orders.

The Marines quickly began preparing, mobilizing the Three Admirals, Vice Admirals, and elite units to the Grand Line and the New World. As the Marine fleet set sail, it became clear that this wasn't just another skirmish.

Admiral Zephyr : "And what about Kael? Is there any information about his whereabouts ?" Zephyr who has already been promoted to admiral three days ago

Kong : "We don't have any information regarding him since his disappearance, pray that he doesn't show up at the event"

.

(At an island in a the Grand Line)

Later that evening, in a dimly lit tavern on a remote island, Kael leaned against the back wall, watching with a cold gaze as a scruffy informant approached him. The man's nervousness was palpable, his hands shaking as he handed over a sealed parchment.

"Y-you're sure you want this?" the informant asked, his voice barely above a whisper. Kael's cold eyes fixed on him, and he barely nodded.

The informant quickly receded, and Kael opened the scroll with deliberate calm. As he read, a dark smile curled on his lips.

Kael : "God Valley… They're all going to be there…"

The document detailed the gathering at God Valley, the Celestial Dragons meeting in secret, the Rocks Pirates' likely assault, and the uncontrollable ambition of those involved. It was clear that the World Government had something to hide, something they wanted protected.

Kael : "If I'm going to God Valley, I'll need to be prepared." 

Kael's voice was low, almost to himself as he looked at a map. His fingers traced the path he would take, straight through the Grand Line to the New World.

This is the event that's hatched itself in history ....only to be erased… and Kael is going to make sure he participates in it.
