The Path of the Great Sovereign 183 Kaze Kaze no mi!

Years went by as Garp showed his new son off to the world. Lion D. Tatsuo, the young prodigy that was said to boast more talent and potential than Garp and scary enough even Sengoku. As Ace, Sabo, and Luffy played, Tatsuo Trained.

Kenbunshoku Haki, Busoshoku Haki and even Haoshoku Haki(Conqueror's Haki), until one day he ate a fruit that seemingly fell from the sky called the Kaze Kaze no mi. The Fruit originally was going to go to a small-time pirate called Marie Reid but Siri deemed her unimportant.

The Kaze Kaze no mi used to have rather debilitating weaknesses, for example, the user is only able to manipulate air in a roughly 30-meter radius, Other weaknesses lie in the fact that it is highly affected by environmental temperature change, making a user's air-transformed body expand quickly and rendering it difficult to control or even move at all when exposed to a large heat source or cold temperatures.

Yet Siri is almighty and changed the ability to complete Wind Manipulation, including the temperature, pressure and other variables.

The Kaze Kaze no mi is of the rare Logia type. A Logia Devil Fruit is characterized by giving its user the ability to create, control, and transform their body into a natural element.

Using his devil fruit ability Tatsuo is flying through the air to get back home, the year is now 1511 and Tatsuo is now 10 years old. Garp made him a promise that if he was able to force him to get serious during a duel he would let Tatsuo join the Marines.

"You ready boy?"

Garp stood tall with a T-shirt and some shorts on in the middle of a small clearing in a forest. Despite his age, his body was not neglected as it gave off a powerful vibe.

Across from him, Tatsuo stood in a similar outfit as Garp's, his small boy didn't look intimidating in the slightest yet his presence was no less than Garp's as his Haki and Garp's collided.

"I've been ready, old man."

"Then attack! Let's see the fruit of all that training."

Instead of attacking with his Devil Fruit, Tatsuo coated his left arm in Haki and struck forward with great speed.

Garp intercepted with a fist of his own when the large and small fists collided the Spiritual energy within the impacts blew away the surrounding trees. The wind cried and howled as dark clouds formed above them. Thunder clapped as Lightning stuck the lands, even the mightiest of animals fled the scene.

"Ho ho? You've been hiding a lot more power than I thought."

Meanwhile, Tatsuo was inwardly surprised.

'Sure I'm too young to harness all of my power but I'm sure I put enough force in that punch to knock him back slightly. Damn weak human body.'

The two started exchanging blows, fists for fist, the ground beneath their feet shattered and broke, sending shockwaves throughout the land reaching the ocean. The ocean roared as the shockwaves split the seas causing ships to sink as their hulls were pierced.

A Nearby Marine ship thought Foosha Village was under attack by powerful Pirates and used a transponder snail to ask for help.

Admiral Kizaru who happened to be near the Gao Kingdom responded quickly and headed towards the Village.

Meanwhile, Tatsuo and Garp begin using more and more powerful attacks. Garp's control over Haki was more deep and profound than Tatsuo's which forced Tatsuo to use his Devil Fruit.

Tatsuo swung his hand forward, sending out an invisible yet extremely powerful blade of wind towards Garp. A second later a sonic boom resounded so loud all the windows of Foosha Village were shattered. Yet before the sound was made the wind blade left a scar in the earth from the forest to 50 miles away in the middle of the sea.

Yet there is something odd about the scar, it does travel in a straight line like you would think but travels in a straight line for about 5 meters before taking a sharp turn to the Left in a 90-degree angle.

"Boy."

Standing tall looking out at the 50-meter deep 50-mile long trench created in an instant Garp spoke in a voice an entire octet lower than usual.

"Anyone below the Rank of Admiral would have died from that attack."

Then he looked at Tatsuo and his eyes softened as he looked at the black hair blue eyed child before him.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA MY SON IS STRONG!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!"

Running up to Tatsuo, Garp grabbed him then started throwing him in the air while laughing. After indulging himself a bit he put Tatsuo down as he looked at him with loving eyes.

"Boy I said that if you bested me in a duel I would let you join the Marines. However, that was a lie. I had no thoughts on letting you join the Marines so early, I wanted to spend a few more years with you! Spoiling you because you are my youngest and last son."

Garp rubbed Tatsuo's head, rustling the bird's nest he called hair while speaking.

"But it would seem that your power is far beyond my expectations."

As Garp was speaking Kizaru arrived.

"Oya, Oya, Vice Admiral Garp. I thought there were Pirates here according to the reports."

"No, my son and I were having a little sparring match."

"A little Sparring match you say."

Kizaru looked up at the sky which was clearing up and the debris scattered around along with the scar in the earth.

Garp noticed his gaze but offered no explanation before completely disregarding his existence.

"I'll speak to Sengoku to get you into the next Boot Camp, with your abilities it shouldn't be long before you move up the ranks. Plus knowing you that's the best way to approach it, you will start off as a Chore boy then you have to work your way up the ranks."

And just like that Tatsuo was off to boot camp, due to him being overqualified he was reassigned to be a Marine officer and was transferred to Headquarters after being promoted to the rank of Lieutenant.

At headquarters, he was trained then assigned to be the Executive officer of Captain Smoker who was currently assigned to be the protector of Loguetown, the city in which Gold D. Roger the pirate King was born and then later executed in.

Standing on the ship docked in the Harbor of Loguetown the now 12-Year-Old Lieutenant Tatsuo stood to the left of Captain Smoker. He wore the Standard officer's coat with Gold and red epaulets and the word Justice Written on the back of it draped over his shoulders like a cape. Under that, he wore a Black Suit with a matching tie and a white button-down shirt. His Long hair was styled into a bun with the sides faded. Standing to his left was Sergeant Tashigi.

"Good Morning Marines! As you may have guessed I am your new commanding officer Captain Smoker, to my Left is my Executive officer Lieutenant Lion D. Tatsuo and we have been assigned to oversee the local Marine Base in the city of Loguetown here on the Polestar Islands. As this City is extremely close to Reverse Mountain and the Redline many pirates use this as a resupply hub before they head to the Grand Line. Our job is to reduce if not eliminate the Pirate groups that travel through the area!"

As Smoker was speaking all the marines looked at their new commander and his EXTREMELY young lieutenant. Smoker noticed the stares and whispered in Tatsuo's ear.

Tatsuo raised his hand and swung it downward in the direction of an incoming pirate fleet.

There were no survivors.
