Three Times The Jeopardy

An Alliance With Tragedy
They were still kids, and these kids showed no concern to what was in front of them. The comical thing is, they could easily be deceived if one wanted to. These powerful, provoking teenagers at sea had stirred up the world for almost months now, and they had already became famous across the world of Paradise as some of the youngest pirates to sail the blue sea.

A tired Pluto leaned against the railings of his ship. The boy's eyebrows continued to fade as if he was sleeping, with his face that continuously stared at the upcoming island they were sailing to. The young Alcory Pluto did not care the slightest about what it looked like, and if he did, he hadn't shown it for such a long time. His only goal was to make his captain the great Pirate King and conquer the seas, but even someone with determination like that still procrastinated.

"Hey, you just had a long nap, Pluto. Go see what sort of land we hit upon!" Peratrix Mizzen called out, waving her hand from one of the ship's decks. The young vice-captain just pouted at her for a few seconds before hopping off the railing and towards the main deck, in which their sharpshooter and captain watched as the island came into view. Pluto yawned in exhaustion, he hadn't been this bored in a long while. Paradise was a great place to go to, but the amount of islands they've explored was close to zero.

"So what do you think is gonna be this time? I hope it's not some weird island with mutated creatures like last time." Pluto murmured.

"Oh yeah, what was it called again? Mervule? Mawile?" Odyssey asked.

"."

"Yeah, it was a floating island too. The strange creatures looked so abnormal I almost thought I was back home." The large Fish-Man joked.

The two turned around, watching as the ship closed in on the island. Within an instant, like ice in the depths of hell, their excited expressions immediately disappeared. Odyssey groaned and Pluto sighed, both of them annoyed instantly as they realized what kind of island they were about to dock towards. Even their already angry captain, Omnis D. Xeno, gave such a huge sigh. His narrowed, earnest expression was enough to intimidate people. Xeno folded his arms, he hadn't said a word this morning, Pluto guessed how bad of a day it had turned out to be. The island was not what they had expected.

A Marine base.

"Well, have fun venting your anger out on this place. Mizzen wants us to grab some food there, and I'm sure you can infiltrate that Marine headquarters by yourself." Pluto complimented, patting Xeno on the back before heading back towards bed. He left his two crew-members and casually strolled off.

"Big guy," Xeno mumbled out of nowhere, which made both Pluto and Odyssey jump as soon as they heard the quiet guy speak. "You scared me, man. What is it?" The vast Fish-man asked, his face turning towards his captain. Xeno acted like this all the time, staring off into the distance and accompanied by nothing but silence. He was always a angry, serious fellow but they liked him for that.

"I need you to get me one of your planets. A large one, please." Xeno demanded, not turning to look at them. Odyssey gladly complied, he raised his left hand, and just like that, a large meteorite about the size of a mountain appeared. He lifted it with ease, then handed it towards his captain, who took it with a hand. This 'planet' Odyssey had made was so vast, it could probably have the same width and length of an entire island. Its mass was bigger than the ship even, standing above the masts, covering the sun like some roof. Nobody was surprised that Xeno had enough strength to lift something so heavy with a single hand.

Xeno lifted the meteorite with his right hand, straightened his position by taking a few steps back, then launched the rock into the air. He couldn't even hear the sudden yelp from Pluto as the celestial body was tossed towards the Marine base like some kind of falling comet. Darting so fast, the meteorite crushed the entire island, and all of its buildings in one single, fell swoop. The meteor that Odyssey had made just absolutely annihilated a Marines headquarters, the island was no more, its land mass and geographical features crushed by the planet. Both the vice-captain and sharpshooter knew, a pissed Xeno could result into the destruction of an entire continent.

"What the HELL!" Mizzen cried out, appearing from the back door, "I ask you to gather supplies and you just erased an entire island off the map? Do you know how much food we could've had for the next month?" Xeno shrugged, "It was a Marine base, it served as no good to us, to anyone really. Let's just wait for Callis to come back and we'll sail to the next island." He responded, Mizzen rolled her eyes.

Speaking of the devil, a red-haired man swam out of the sea and jumped onto the ship, startling the crew. Callis walked over with a pile of wet papers, soaked by the water. He had a large, crimson blade around him and purple eyes, smiling calmly at the crew. "Why the sudden silence?" He asked, still grinning, "let me guess, you destroyed another island because it pissed you off. Control your anger sometimes, Xeno."

"Don't tell me what to do." Xeno threatened, in which Callis shrugged. He walked past Odyssey and handed Mizzen the pile of papers. They flapped in the dawn wind as she read through them. "News Coo from yesterday, and I was given a letter too." Callis explained, Mizzen examined the letter first, she stared through it and blinked a few times. Xeno looked at her, then took the papers from her, he read it himself.

"An alliance with The Bloody Demon?, the one who's pretty famous amongst the Grand Line for his swordsmanship. How interesting." Mizzen mumbled. "What do you say, Xeno. It would seem he wants to meet in a day to discuss the matters. Shall we trust him?"
