The Path of the Great Sovereign 192 D.

After the War of Marineford, Sengoku stepped down as Fleet Admiral and Akoji took his place. One of Tatsuo's Subordinates called Yasuo took up the Mantle of an Admiral while Issho took the other seat.

Yasuo's codename was deemed Yugana by Aokiji due to his graceful bearing despite eating the Magu Magu no mi which Akainu had as well.

The Two Admiral's let their presence be known throughout the seas as the duties of the other Admiral's were passed onto the two.

Marineford was moved to the New World by Fleet Admiral Aokiji due to the World Government giving the Marines more power after Whitebeard's attack on the base in paradise which caused his bounty to increase to a staggering 6 Billion Bellys making Whitebeard the most wanted pirate in history.

The New Generation of Pirates also showed rapid growth and were named the Eleven Supernovas consisting of Portgas D. Ace, Monkey D. Luffy, Trafalgar D. Water Law, Eustass Kid, Sratchmen Apoo, Capone Bege, Basil Hawkins, Roronoa Zoro, X Drake, Killer, Jewelry Bonney, and Urouge.

Everyone assumed Ace was dead until he became active one year later in the New World. He assembled a crew and decimated the Big Mom's pirates taking her position as a Yonko. His Bounty rose to 4.9 Billion Bellys due to his annexation of Totto Land calling it the Flame Isles.

Fire King Ace, Whitebeard, and Red Hair Shanks formed an Alliance with plans to rid the world of the forth Yonko Kaido, however, Admiral Soyokaze appeared and battled all three of the Yonko alone on Punk Hazard.

Their battle lasted for 30 days reducing Punk Hazard into a wasteland of Extreme Winds, Plains of Fire, and Everquaking Rocks. Yet neither the Yonko nor The Admiral could push each other into the void of defeat however that Battle gave the Admiral a special privilege. As long as the ideology of the World Government is not threatened they will practice a Hands-off approach, the Fleet Admiral, Commander-in-Chief, and even the World Nobles cannot Order Admiral Lion D. Tatsuo as he is the only one able to fight the 3 of the 4 Yonko and leave unscathed.

The East Blue became a Pirate free zone due to Admiral Soyokaze claiming that he defends the Seas of the East Blue as he still provided to the World Government the Elders permitted this and Even Named the Admiral the King of the East, turning the Entire east Blue into his personal property.

At First, many World Nobles protested due to the Fact that Tatsuo is a bearer of the Will of D. However the Fleet Admiral was the one that put a stop to it he said-

"Lion D. Tatsuo is the most powerful Admiral we have at our disposal, the seat of Fleet Admiral was originally meant to be passed to him but he turned it down due to the fact he wanted to continue to bring peace to the world upholding the Justice which as the Fleet Admiral he would not have been allowed to do. With that been said, even if myself and the other Admirals attack Tatsuo we could not be sure of victory."

This caused all voices to quiet down as the only protection the World Noble's have from the wrath of the common people are the Admirals, so as long as they keep this one happy he would forever be on their side making them safer.

Yet the entire time they didn't notice that the chessboard was being set, The World Government was forced into a passive stance due to the Yonko and even an Admiral, yet they felt no danger as the Admiral they put their faith in continued to bring outstanding results.

2 Years after the War that ended an era, Tatsuo, Whitebeard, Shanks, and Ace sat on Fishman Island in a circle under the stars as they chatted and discussed future plans.

"Shanks I won't ask much from you as I know that you are a pacifist, I just need you to continue on business as usual. Whitebeard, you already did everything I needed, same with you Ace. Now the rest falls on my shoulders. Luffy is doing exactly as I planned but now it is time for you all to understand why I am doing all of this."

Taking a gulp of Sake Tatsuo looked at the three in front of him an a Smile appeared on his face.

"To be honest with you three, this world is very unstable and misguided. I'm not just talking about the Humanoid creatures that live on it but also the other creatures and even the unknown. There are Dinosaurs, Sea Kings, Space Dwellers, Spirits, and other creations. Yet what guides the majority of you is something that may or may not be found or traditions based on this false sense of superiority. Yet on the hundreds of thousands of Islands around the globe, there are many humans that cannot even do something basic like find enough food to eat or have a proper shelter due to the Pirates that come along and rob, ****, and murder them."

"Which in my opinion just shows the lack of ambition you may have. Instead of wasting your time on these materialistic things that could be taken away easily why not try to understand the way your world works? Like What is a Devil Fruit? Why does it take away my ability to swim? Could I overcome this disability? If I overcome it what would happen? What are the rules of this world?"

Taking another gulp of his Sake Tatsuo looked at the Stunned faces of the Pirates around him as he continued.

"So my goal isn't something small like overthrowing the World Government for something small like power. While the power it provides would allow me to make life better for the Billions of intelligent life forms on the Planet even that is only a small part of it."

Raising his Hands Tatsuo activated the Kaze Kaze no mi to form a wind orb above his left hand and the Yami Yami no mi to form an orb of darkness above his right.

"I am the only one in the world that has 2 Devil Fruits and not only do they work independently like this they also can be combined, yet when they are fused for too long they are forced apart by some unknown force."

Tatsuo combined the orbs then like he said a few moments later they were forced apart.

"However when I add Haoshoku Haki this force disappears and the powers fuse together, and with this, it's more appropriate to say instead of controlling the wind or the Darkness, I rule over them. And finally, I am no longer vulnerable to water."

When he said that the Pirates dropped the Sake they were drinking as they started at the Admiral in disbelief.

"You're LYING!"

Whitebeard reacted strongly but in his heart, he was excited this was the first time he has ever heard of something so absurd. Yet before his Eyes, the most powerful Marine Admiral got into the sea and began swimming.

"This my friends is one of the powers of the Will of D."
