Chapter 122

Grandline, Paradise, Water 7

After packing and boarding the ship Robin waited for Azul to join her on the softly swaying ship made of mahogany coloured wood with beautiful carving along the railing and front of the ship.

Azul meanwhile had disappeared with Iceburg into a small room from which scratching sounds began to echo after a few minutes of mysterious silence. When Azul came out of the room with the major in tow the two of them carried three wooden planks with words carved onto them in their arms.

Two of the carvings were secured at each side on the front of the ship while the largest of them was put up at the rear of the ship. After the name of the ship had been revealed to all eyes still watching Azul couldn't help himself but grin in satisfaction.

Even though he had to make up his mind fast about a suitable name he was satisfied with his choice. To his surprise Iceburg pulled out a bottle of alcohol from somewhere and motioned for Azul to smash it into the ship, as was tradition when baptising a new vessel of the seas.

"Don't let me down buddy. We'll be sailing till the we reach the world's end and thus I give you the name 'liberated Revery'!" and following his words he smashed the full bottle against the hull of the ship where it cracked into a thousand pieces while the waves seemed to crash stronger against the shores of the port as if in agreement.

"So long guys, I got a ship to ride!" Azul called out after which he unfastened the tows chaining the ship to the shore and jumped onto it with an enormous grin plastered onto his face.

"Farewell and thanks for helping me out!" Azul called back while waving once in goodbye after which he turned around and steered the ship out into the open seas, sails unfolded, the wind howling in greeting while the waves took the ship into their open arms, through which the ship furrowed without difficulties to the delight of its captain that was grinning like a loon all along.

While Azul and Robin had entered the open waters once again the world government had begun to mobilize the first wave of their troops in preparation. The first contingent was to head towards Sabaody Archipelago with a single purpose in mind and that was to build a military wall that served a lot of purposes.

Number one was to take any newcomer pirates that could be potential crewmembers of the emperors into custody while also stifling future problems in the bud even if said crews would not join the emperors.

Reason number two was to cut of any supplies that were being delivered towards Fishmen island and thus forcing Whitebeard and his crew to possibly surface once again. Of course that plan was only in the beginning stages since Fishmen island still had a lot of supplies so they would need to wait some time until their plan could cause any problems but it was always good to pile problems onto the heads of your enemies if you had the chance to do so.

Reason number three was to interrupt the supply chains the revolutionaries had built over the years, thus strongly limiting their movements.

Reason number four was nothing else but publicity as the world government showed the world that they would be the ones that could guarantee prosperity and security for all the people on the grandline simply but stationing many warsh.i.p.s on one of the main hubbubs of the grandline.

The world governments actions though were being received with scrutiny as all the onlookers began to speculate on their motives immediately and were beginning to wonder if the world government would be the first to make a move which would ignite the great war.
