Supreme Council room.

All the presents had approving smiles, as they looked at the screen:

"It went good

-Now, all we have to do…Is to watch and wait."

C.C had a wide smile:

"It's up to those two children."

The Emperor laughed lightly:

"I am ready to gamble on their success…And besides, it's not like we will not help them~"

Shahrazad had a little complain:

"Is Lelouch always that grandiloquent?

-Always! He is a pretty narcistic man after all…"

The emperor leaned backwards:

"So…What do you think about introducing 'this' kind of religious system?"

Schneizel gaze narrowed as solemn expression on his face:

"It is a pretty risky gamble to take. As shown by the events in this world, logic is pretty fickle and any variable could happen. We are talking about 'Spirits' and 'Gods'. And if use that technique…."

Shahrazad added worriedly:

"And most importantly. 'that' world seems extremely dangerous. All of them seem to be on the realm of you and The God of Destruction you mentioned to Prince Vegeta."

Marek nodded:

-But, you do understand. It will not be us who come find them. 'They' will come find us…

-I understand…If 'he' can be chosen. There is no reason for you to not be.

-Let's me think about it a little bit more.

They all nodded.

-Good…Schneizel you are in charge of the whole building project and also-

Schneizel already knew what he was about to say:

"-I will make sure that Motohama and the Agares Princess are in regular contact.

-Good! Do a thorough job at planning out the whole diagram of the country we will be working on that system for the years to come.

-It's my honor, your Majesty.

He deeply sighed; Shahrazad talked first:

"It's time to start 'that plan', isn't it?"

The Emperor nodded:

"C.C, are all the kids prepared?"

She nodded:

"They are all quite excited. You are popular with your people, your Majesty."

A Blue Portal opened up:

"Tell them to wait, I need to get my 'staff'. Schneizel, I leave the Empire in your hands until Lelouch returns.

-Yes! Your Majesty!"

One Piece World. Marineford. A bulky man was eating crackers as he grinned at a Wanted Poster:

"Already the strongest in East Blue… Not bad, not bad Luffy!"

"Indeed, your grandson is one of a kind, Garp The Hero."

An ominous doubled voice sounded as a person who looked like a king appeared in front of him. He slowly sat in the ground as he did. Garp felt his Kenbunshoku giving all kind of warning signals. The same signals he had when he was still a rookie.

'This person is strong. Way too strong. Perhaps the strongest I have ever see.'

His expression slowly became solemn. The mysterious being in front of him attracted to his hand one bottle of sake and two cups. He gracefully poured a glass for the two of them. Marek took the cup in his hand:

"Let me introduce myself. I am Marek Vega, the Emperor of the Atlas Empire.

Garp drank from the cup as he narrowed his eyes:

-You seem to have a goal in mind.

Marek had a distant gaze:

-I do. I have a lot of goals. Plans that may concern this planet or not. Emperors have a lot on their plates, Garp-san.

Garp sighed still the flavour of the sake in his mouth:

"This planet, huh…"

"But yes. I came for something, especially someone."

He reopened his pupilles eyes a slight smile on his face:

"You see I have this project and I need you for it. "

Garp opened widely his eyes as he saw his dark gem of eyes manifest three Star Tomoe.

"Infinite Tsukoyomi"

In the illusion the Marine Hero saw

The end of the world.

The oceans where evaporated, island reduced ashes, the red Line completely shattered.

Marines, civilians, pirates, everyone had the same horrid expression as the end drew near. Only one person caused havoc on the world, the world he worked so hard to protect. Way stronger than Whitebeared, Roger or Xebec...Something that couldn't be reached by human might alone.

Finally, the cause of all the suffering obliterated the planet, ending every trace of life as we know it.

The illusion, the suffering gave the impression of lasting whole decades as Garp slowly refocused. He was still calm as he understood who he was dealing with:

"What do you want?

-I want 10 years of your time.

-I am not going to war for you. Even if-!"

Marek laughed lightly:

"That's not what I want. I want you as a teacher."

Garp narrowed his eyes:

"So you want me to train your people.

-Yes. And also even if you go. The ten years will only have passed for you. For this world it will be 2 or 3 days. "

Garp closed his eyes as he sighed:

"I see, but if I go through with that, will you promise that our world won't be under the threat of your Empire?"

Marek sneered:

"Because you think your world is doing well alone? A world ruled by self-centered tyrants who only care about themselves."

Garp has a grave expression on his face.

"Brave warriors who think they are fighting for peace around the world, when they only fight for tribute to the Celestial Dragons and Supremacy over the oceans.

Honest Higher ups who slowly sink into deviousness as they make they peace with it. Thinking that this is the least of two evils. The evil that provide order must be 'the least evil'. The evil that wears suits, that preach justice is it any less evil?

And people who have good engraved into their own soul like your son and grandson get to be criminals .

If you think my Empire could be any worst than that, you are gravely mistaken."

He stood up an expression between pride and compassion in his face.

"You will spend 10 years in my company old man. If you think I can't find a 'right' order for this world. You could try stopping me."

He stood up a blue portal appearing beside him:

"I am only promising you not to destroy this planet, Garp-san. Make your peace with that. Cross the portal when you feel ready."
