Chapter 90 (1/2)

Redline, Mary Geoise

Akainu, after his short trip to the gate of justice had received the instructions to rush after Aokiji to Mary Geoise and with a disbelieving mind he did just that.

Soon they had arrived at the redline after some time of travelling and entered the elevator with readied weapons, even though they knew it would take some time until they would reach the holy city. Still, the tenseness of the crew was so palpable that it was nearly possible to grip it with b.a.r.e hands.

Akainu meanwhile had had a conversation with Sengoku and was told what the guardians on Mary Geoise had reported to him while he waited to arrive at Mary Geoise.

It seemed as if Aokiji was in battle with Azul, leader of the escapes from Impel Down, and was trying to delay him. Not more could be expected as Aokiji had been bested by Azul once before already making Akainu gnash his teeth at the besmirching of the marines honor when he thought about Kuzans failure.

Though soon even those thoughts came to a stop as the elevator finally arrived in Mary Geoise and what greeted them shocked the troops to the core. Destroyed buildings and infrastructure as far as the eyes could see, burning or frozen while corpses of dead Tenryuubito littered the ground. Obviously the ones that had decided to not listen to their leaders. Stupid morons that they had been...

Walking forwards Akainu stretched out his haki and soon found the two fighters making his eyes widen at the strength of Aokiji's opponents aura.

'So Azuls fame isn't baseless it seems. I'll still incinerate him!' Akainu thought before he dashed forwards, only one goal in mind. Azul, dead at his feet!

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

”Sir! We couldn't find any more slaves. All the remaining buildings that haven't yet been burned or frozen are empty!” One of the members of the Kamabakka kingdom reported to Ivankov who nodded and swiftly gave the order to bring the elevator down to the new world where a group of revolutionaries would pick them up not much later after Ivankov had contacted the army.

Robin meanwhile had turned around towards the still fighting Azul and Aokiji, not able to step near the fight as the pressure alone was enough to send her to her knees. Though she couldn't just stand there and do nothing! After all they were about to leave Mary Geoise and Azul needed to know about that. She knew he could walk on air but that didn't mean he had to be left behind on his own.

After speaking with Ivankov they decided to send a few men to tell Azul about their soon to be journey. The few men rushed out, though Robin couldn't help the worry that lurked at the back of her mind after watching them disappear in the ruins of Mary Geoise...

While Azul was fighting with Aokiji his haki picked up on a strong aura that had just appeared in Mary Geoise, stronger even then Aokiji himself.
