Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Order and Departure

_________ POV Enel_________

Well, a day of waiting for my order actually turned into three, as I also have to wait for Oven to be in a stable condition to be carried around on a ship for a month or two.

It's a bit annoying, but I can't complain, there are still some things I can get done at Marineford.

I also managed to spar with Garp once in the past three days, he was rather pleased with my progress with Armament Haki, fighting Jack might've helped with that.

He also looked at me like I'm some type of freak after seeing that I also could perform Rankyaku. It can't be helped, these techniques are easy for me since I can use my Devil Fruit to enhance my base speed.

The best thing is that constantly enhancing my speed using my devil fruit makes me stronger too, as my body needs to be strong enough to handle that speed anyway. Well, this only works if I hit something, but still.

Hina didn't really get in touch with me after I told her she can't come with me on this mission. She spent most of her time training after that and left yesterday to patrol the waters at the beginning of the Grand Line.

Momonga was also really nice, sending the details of the most high-profile members of the Big Mom Pirates my way.

It's a shame I already knew all of the details and even more.

The Big Mom Pirates were a rather dangerous group in the series, and also one of the largest groups of antagonists that the protagonists had to face.

I already have plenty of knowledge about most of them, their abilities, and their respective styles of combat in some cases.

I am a bit glad that Sengoku put me on this mission, the more time I spend at Marineford the worse I will feel later.

I also spent just enough time to find out that I won't be able to get much information on the World Government from the library I have access to.

I only found out a bit more about the Gorosei, but that's about it really...

The five elders, as some would call them, are technically the ruling authority of this world. That is what is being taught in the books that I found in Marineford's libraries.

They are just a group of the highest-ranking celestial dragons, which doesn't tell me much, since Celestial Dragons are mostly bottom feeders.

I am unsure if the five elders have any fighting strength themselves, any book I found only spoke about political power, and I don't feel too comfortable asking Sengoku more about it.

I tried to listen in on some conversations using my devil fruit and Observation Haki, I was able to learn some things from Sengoku's calls with other World Government officials indirectly.

After a bit of research and some testing, I discovered that I can spy on any conversation completely undetected as long as I don't reveal any intent towards the person I am spying on.

Other experienced Observations Haki users can easily sense intent, I was able to test this on numerous occasions with Garp during training.

Thankfully, hiding my emotions and not harbouring intent is rather easy, as using observation haki requires one to keep his mind calm at all times anyway.

I was able to find out a bit more about the political shifts in the 4 seas.

The show was extremely centred on the grand line, but apparently, more and more kingdoms across the world are having revolts, and the people are getting less and less happy with their leaders.

This is theorized to be the work of the Revolutionary army. But I can't be too sure about that, it's easy for them to blame the Revolutionary Army for all of their problems, but it may just be that people are sick of their lies and of being mistreated by nobility...

I can hear the 5 elders trying to order Sengoku around most of the time. They even told him to prevent a war with the Big Mom pirates at all cost. I'm guessing they already have some foresight that the war of the great will happen at this point.

Ace hasn't even been captured yet, but it's likely that they were planning to kill Whitebeard ever since the old man was weakened by whatever disease he's having.

Well, regardless of that, I already know that the 5 elders aren't even the actual rulers. Im, the one that stands on the throne in Mary Geoise is the one that these elders bow to.

I was unable to find a single thing about him in either history books or books praising the World Government.

He should be the one actually pulling the strings, the five old men are just the figureheads, also likely older than they appear to be. Which says a lot since they are called elders...

I know they are older because they had appeared in Robin's memories during the show, and they looked much the same as in the present... 20-something years later.

There is also a rather simple explanation for this...

Jewelry Bonney, a pirate captain from the 'Worst Generation', she has the ability to age and de-age others at will. It's unknown how long she's been alive, but I know that she used to be a prisoner of the World Government at some point.

She also hates the marines to the core, I remember that she is supposed to be getting captured sometime after the war when entering the New World.

I need to prevent such a thing from happening, her devil fruit is far too powerful, I'd rather the World Government don't get their hands on it again.

If I remember correctly, Blackbeard was the one to catch her... Heh, I guess that won't be happening, after all, I have quite a few plans for that pirate in particular...

Still, I will be paying attention to her, just in case.

I can't exactly go about kidnapping her, that wouldn't be quite right...  But if things turn out to be similar to the original story, then I might arrange a permanent residence for her in the Sky Islands...

Well, enough about that! There's no use in thinking about these things right now. Too many variables could come into play, my plan centres around my knowledge of the future, at least to a certain point.

I need things to go normally for a while, so I need to get on and finish this mission. It's still hard to believe that Akainu made such a stupid mistake, but I guess he's not the type to easily accept the fact that marines can't enforce their justice properly in today's climate.

A single word from the world government is all it takes, and the marines will be forced to drag their names through the mud.

Sengoku likely knew from the beginning, that the World Government wouldn't want a war with the Big Mom Pirates right now, so he started making decisions right away. I wonder if things will play out properly though...

Heh, I should go to the port and collect my order.

It didn't take me long to make my way to the docks, not exactly that large, Marineford.

They left the crates out in the open, simply stamping some pieces of paper on them to signify that they were mine. Pretty subpar delivery service, but hey, they're here.

No one would steal the property of a Rear Admiral anyway... Unless they're pirates, but you won't really find any in Marineford (besides special prisoners).

These crates hold quite a few metals. Well, three metals, there are only three crates anyway.

One crate is filled to the brim with White Gold. Extremely expensive, but I brought in a lot of bounties, so it wasn't really an issue.

White Gold has enough conductivity to the point where I can use it like my regular gold, even somewhat better, as its melting point is slightly lower. But, as a metal, it is also tougher than silver, which is the metal with the highest conductivity that I could find.

One of the other boxes has something else entirely, that is, bars of Tungsten, the toughest metal that could be found back on earth. Apparently, it's still a rather difficult metal to find in this world, but still extremely tough.

Now, unlike gold, this metal has around 4 times less conductivity, but if I can mix and match this and my White Gold, I should be able to make a staff good enough for me to use efficiently.

A staff made out of tungsten and white gold will be extremely tough, a lot harder to break apart than my regular golden one. But this isn't really it, at least not yet.

The third and very last box... Seastone. Mythical material, barely understood, copies the effects of the sea from what I was able to read about it.

The only person that understands a bit more about it would be Doctor Vegapunk, a former member of the MADS, a group of an illegal research group that I only know a few members of, from the series of course.

It's difficult to handle and extremely tough, its conductivity is almost non-existent as it is an actual stone, not a metal. It's a special stone, and its conductivity should be even lower.

However, I don't need to manipulate it like a metal...

To be specific, I only ordered Seastone dust, ground properly by Vegapunk's machinations.

I will use this seastone, and spread it within my staff, keeping it away only from the parts that I touch.

Since I control all other components of the staff, it will just get some getting used to, then I will be able to disable most devil fruit users by simply catching them with my staff.

The final product should wight around... 6-7 tons? That's about what I expect.

I became a lot stronger after learning Armament (and getting beaten up by Garp on a daily basis), so I should be able to handle this weight.

The staff wasn't hard to make, it's a bit less malleable than the golden one, but it's still acceptable enough.

Now, I want to keep my ship made out of gold, as I don't feel like just throwing away a good few tons of gold. So I will just compress my former staff into a permanent pair of gauntlets.

It's better than throwing away what is essentially heavier money.

Having all of this weight on me will make movement a bit more strained for a while, but I can just take it as training. I'll get used to it in a week or two.

Now... It's time to visit the prisoner and start taking him home...
