Chapter 14 - Chapter 15

Ginrei and Bradley was standing on the islands beach and watching the water together.

"Bradely, i have a mission for you. It will be long and highly dangerous. Are you willing?" Ginrei asked without looking at the man that was revealed to be his own son.

"Yes, Father. Whatever the mission, i will complete it to your standards." Bradely said with a respectful tone. Both him and Byakuya worshiped strength and power. In their eyes, Ginrei had everything that was needed for a leader so they both worshiped him. As a leader and as a father figure.

"Good. We need eyes inside the marines and i have no subordinate with eyes better then yours. This mission can only fall onto you. You shall do whatever you deem necessary to get yourself to the admiral position."

"Understood. What if i need to kill another admiral. Am i allowed." Bradely asked with the same respectful tone.

"As i said. If the situation calls for it, you are allowed to do anything you want. No restrictions, just try to be a little discreet if you do decide to kill and admiral. And of course, hide that badge from view. Any other questions?" Ginrei looked at his son, which felt weird since they didn't become father and son through the natural process.

"No, Father."

"Good. The next island over has a marine base and also many pirates. Make contact with the marines there, and use them to get to headquarters in the Grand Line. From there, work your way up to the admiral position." Ginrei put his right hand on Bradley's shoulder.

"Make me proud Bradely." He looked away and continued staring at the ocean after that, completely ignoring Bradely.

"Yes, Father. I will be on my way." Bradely walked forwards and with the use of magic he located the island that Ginrei was talking about.

As his "son", Bradely had inherited things that Ginrei had. A mind boggling amount of magic power was one thing that Bradely had inherited. He comprehended things fast enough to make people think he had instant mastery, even though he didn't. Using Ginrei's version of magic sense depended on your amount of magic power you had. That's why he could locate islands from such extreme distances.

Bradley took his first step into the water and then at a speed that made it look like teleportation, he vanished. He could no longer be seen. Only by using magic sense could Ginrei locate him now.

'Now that Bradely has gotten his mission, it's time to set up the main base.' Ginrei knew that his main base should be one that floated above the clouds. He actually wanted one for every captain, and then the biggest for himself. Simple hierarchy.

Ginrei flew up into the air and didn't stop until he was thousands of meters up. Approximately he was 6k or 7k meters up in the air right now, somewhere in the middle of that he stopped moving.

'Open up the base section. I want to look through the list.' In front of him, a window appeared like usual where he could see thousands of buildings with all kinds of funny or badass designs. He looked through and found the one that he would use for himself and his division.

A few hundred feat in front of him, a massive black portal appeared and out from that portal floated an island that had a building on it. The island was triangular and so was the building. It had 250 floors and each floor could hold 120 people at most. The ceiling was entirely made out of reinforced glass. The wall were made out of reinforced stainless steel.

"A beauty. This will be the base for the zero division. My division." Ginrei watched the base float there while sporting a proud look. The entire thing was kept afloat by rune magic. An ancient magic from some immortal realm. All this information came from the system.

'Now the rest of them.' Ginrei said and continued to flip through the different bases.

--------------------

On a random island in the West blue an elderly looking man was standing at the docks looking at the pirates loading their ships with goods. Apparently the marines on this island were pathetically weak as they just stood ways away spying on these pirates.

'Pathetic.' Bradely scoffed at the marines. He would gladly kill them all, but they had a use for him since they were currently monitoring this very pirate crew. He walked up to the pirate crew with quick and steady steps. The marines started paying extra close attention to him now, which was exactly what he wanted.

"Excuse me, young one. Are you and your crew perhaps pirates." Bradely said to a member of the crew that was standing with a clipboard in hand and counting the goods they were bringing in.

"Eh, what off it. Piss off." The guy barely looked up to meet the elderly man's eyes. He just yelled and went back to his clipboard because he had a deadline to keep, and he didn't want his captain's punishment.

"May i take that as a yes?" Bradely said. He didn't do this for a very good reason. He just wanted the marines to think of him in a positive light, and not some brutal slaughterer like Sakazuki is. It would hopefully make it easier to win some favor from Kong, Sengoku and Garp when he met them.

"You may. Now what off it? You a marine, old man?" A young man with long brown hair that hanged loose, and two crossing swords on his back walked up to Bradely. He had green eyes and he stared straight into Bradley's brown ones.

"I am looking to become one, yes. So i was looking for a pirate head that i could take in as offering." Bradely said and flashed his usual king's smile. The pirate captain looked shocked at this revelation and put a hand on one of his swords.

"Wanna try?" The captain said with loathing. He upped his guard and waited for the old man to move.

"I don't have to." Bradley said and they heard the sound of a sword being sheathed. Both pirates stood still and after 2 seconds, the two bodies separated into three pieces. The heads fell to the left and the torso fell to the right, and the legs fell backwards.

"AAAAH!" A woman who stood at a distance observing this fainted. It appears she hadn't seen much gore in her days.

"Quickly, contact the base commander. This guy said he wanted to be a marine. QUICKLY!" One of the marine rookies yelled at the other one that still hadn't recovered from the shock of seeing that spectacle.

'Appears to be working. Now to finish of these pirates.' Bradely looked at the rest of the pirates that all thought their captain was gonna kill another marine. How wrong they were.

"Stay still." Bradley took one step forward, and every step he took after that, another head would fall onto the deck of the pirate ship. No one here even saw him remove his sword. If a Vice admiral were here or an admiral, they would be able to the least, see his sword move. For the current people present at these docks, it was just impossible to track his movements.

Bradely walked towards the town and just waited for the time the marines would approach him with the request to join.
