Chapter 166 - Chapter 168

Three months passed since Amell's meeting with Whitebeard occurred and to say it shook the foundations of the authorities of this world is an understatement. Not only did they not fight, but they also seemed to have left the meeting with somewhat of an understanding. This was at least what the reports said and Sengoku felt another headache coming on. As usual, he was sitting at his desk reading the Admirals reports. Those were currently the only ones he cared about, he couldn't give less of a crap about super rookies and the like, he had emperors to deal with and not enough men to go around. He had now a very good idea why Kong left this job as early as he did.

A knock came from the door and they opened and Bradely walked inside. "You summoned me!" His tone stern and steady like a military man. He walked forward and stood in front of Sengoku without sitting down and making himself comfortable.

"Yes, I did indeed do that. I need to know how confident you are in beating Big Mom." Sengoku looked at him with seriousness written all over his face. His tone made it clear he had a good reason for asking.

"Very. I could most likely kill all sweet commanders as long as Big Mom does not interfere. Against her in a one on one, I have a seventy per cent chance of killing her. And to be clear, the other thirty per cent representing my death only comes into play should her commanders join in as well." Bradely had always hidden his strength from the Marines and showed just enough to make people wonder if he could beat Garp and Sengoku alone. No one in the world had ever seen his true power revealed.

"Good, because I need you to deliver a message to her. We as Marines must control the sea rather than these despicable pirates. This mission will be highly dangerous."

"What kind of message are you looking to deliver?"

"More of a statement! We need to reassure the world that we still have a say in what happens in these seas. In the New World, there is an island best known as Candy Land. It gets its name from being one of Big Mom's main supplies for her candy. At this moment, Cracker is residing on this Island. Do I need to say more?"

"No! Only want question." Bradely said.

"Yes?"

"Do you want his head on a silver or gold platter?" Bradely got a small chuckle out of the fleet captain. "A silver will do fine, we haven't won yet so let's save the gold one for Amell." He said and went back to his reports.

"Yes, Sir!" Bradley's tone didn't change but in his mind, he was planning out all the different torture methods he would try out on this fleet captain. He said nothing more and walked out of the room.

***********************

A few days later a few miles outside Candy Land, a blur was crossing over the ocean at the speed even faster than lightning. It took but a few seconds for that blur to reach the shores of this Island. The blur stopped on the island at last and now on the rocky shore of the Island stood, Bradely, one of the Marine Admirals. Tasked with hunting down and killing Cracker, one of Big Mom pirates sweet commanders.

Bradely straightened out his suit and put on his marine coat as he was forced to take it off when moving at that speed or else he would never see it again. After that was done with he started walking towards the location where Cracker was last seen.

Bradely came upon a small village that from appearance alone looked to be sixty years behind this world's most advanced technology. The housing was simple, wood, but only some houses used brick. The village was dead with no sound nor any people around. That was until the sound of multiple gunshots was heard and Bradely performed several dodges to avoid them all. Suddenly countless people with funny candy dressed outfits came rushing out from everywhere and surrounded him.

"It was brave of you to come here alone, Bradely. And you suck at sneaking." A large man with biscuits dressed on his body said as he stood behind his army with a mocking smile.

"Who the hell told you I was sneaking? I don't give a crap if you knew I was coming from the beginning. Nothing was gonna stop what is about to happen." Bradely raised his hand and gestured for the army to charge.

"Kill him!" Cracker said angerly. At his command, his army charged Bradely with weapons in hand. Bradely titled his head to dodge a bullet and then charge into the army. "Too fast!" A pirate said as he saw the blurry figure of Bradely show itself for a second before his neck was snapped. Another four necks were snapped after that unfortunate pirate met his fate. Bradely stopped in the middle of the army. "Ready for death, Cracker?" He punched a pirate in the chest so he flew and crashed into Cracker. Nothing happened except the pirate got even more hurt from crashing into Cracker's hard body.

"Let me make this quick!" Bradely raised his eyepatch to reveal the Sharingan he possessed. The eye started changing the pattern and as it did, he drew his sword and sliced another pirate across the chest, killing him. "Zone magic: Pierce" Bradely voiced the magic to life, and then he used his Sharingan to mark the chest area right above the heart of every pirate in the army. He then raised his sword and performed the piercing motion in mid-air. All the pirates spit out blood and fell on the ground with a pierced heart.

"WHAT!?" Cracker stumbled backwards after seeing what just happened. He had seen it, so now he was just working on believing it. But time was not something he had a lot of now, Bradely had already appeared before him and with one solid punch Cracker exploded into dust.

"Come out, Cracker or I will just come to you, and you know I know where you are," Bradely said and looked towards one of the houses in the distance. Suddenly dozens of biscuit soldier appeared from thin air around him. The real Cracker came walking out from behind the house. "I will show you the meaning of pain!" He created another doll around himself, and together with the other dolls, he rushed at Bradely.

"Let's see you try!" Bradely sent a sword slash at one of the dolls destroying it instantly. He looked to the others and they all had used haki to cover most of their bodies. Cracker could use remote haki on his dolls so they were all jumping at Bradely with their black blades raised high.

"For someone weaker than me, you would indeed be right in acting so confident, but unfortunately for you, I was stronger than the current you when you were just a little kid." Bradely caught one of the dolls blades in his hand and swung its body around knocking every other doll away. He slashed apart the doll he holding and looked at the others. "How about this!" Bradely started changing suddenly. A massive armour appeared from within him and covered his entire body. It was silver in colour and had twelve arms. "Feels good to get to let loose after so long of holding back everything." Bradley's new body started moving and all the arms started extending and flying towards the dolls.

When they caught them in their grip, the silver arms crushed the biscuit dolls without effort. Bradely looked at the real doll that the real Cracker was inside of. "This is the end for you." He summoned a spear to his hand that was made entirely out of the silver fire. In one powerful thrust, he threw the spear at Cracker, and the spear beat the speed of sound as soon as it left his hand. It pierced straight through the doll and crashed like a meteor down on the island and the spear fully split the Island in two. A massive crack appeared from one side of the island to the other because the spear had pierced the entire island and split the Island in two in the process.

"Hm, I thought I adjusted the power accordingly." He sighed out loud, "No matter, I can easily blame all civilian death on Cracker and his men." Bradley's Susanno dissipated and he fell on the ground again.

"I promised Father I wouldn't destroy any more Islands as a Marine Admiral, how should I explain this? Hm, maybe I don't tell him." He placed his hand on his chin. "Yes, that works. I simply won't report the existence of this island, hopefully, we don't have records of it either." Bradely started walking towards the ocean while the Island was falling apart around him.
