3rd Rise of the Phoenix ஜ Action

[uccellodifuoco]

[For once Ikki has decided to try to hang around the village itself instead of going to the mountains or the forest. Even he can get bored of that, after all.

He will be seen calmly sitting at the plaza or having a drink at the Good Spirits or the Seventh Heaven, depending on the hour. At one point he will "find" the flower shop and will get a flower -only one- before heading for the forest to a more or less secluded area.

Nothing terribly curious or interesting. Though he will have his Pandora box with him the whole time, as big as half of his body. Not that that's out of normal in Luceti, right?]

Strangely, it wasn't even about him, so much as his father.

Fear is a powerful thing when people worry about the destruction of life as they know it.

[Ikki just grunts at the first part. Not about that Ace but about his father, huh? Ikki has his share of the shadow of a father obscuring everything else. He won't abandon Athena and the others, but he will never stop thinking that none of them would have ever even moved a finger to get involved in all that if it hadn't been because of their father forcing that fate on them. Not that they would have even existed in the first place without that man's scheming but still...]

And the death of that man represented that? Curious that the people in your world would consider the death of a criminal a bad omen for their lives. Or did it actually have some kind of symbolical meaning? Like burning down a flag being a declaration of war or something like that.

No, I mean they wanted to eradicated everything and anything having to do with Gold Roger, the Will of the D and anything that could revive One Piece.

Portgas was considered something of the price of blood to pay for that.

[uccellodifuoco]

I heard about Gold Roger and the One Piece, but what is the Will of the D?

[The price of blood? Like a sacrifice?]

[justicereigns]

Beats me.

Something Gold Roger, possibly Dragon and Straw-Hat all carry. It terrifies Sengoku, but since he has to deal with Garp on a frequent basis, that could be why.

[uccellodifuoco]

Well, in general terms, willpower can be a worrisome thing when it's at the opponent's side. Though I suppose it doesn't have to really be something related to willpower.

So I take this Battle of Marineford had all of you Marines gathered on it?

[justicereigns]

It could. It's also a potential for haki so it's possible.

Yes. It was to fight the Strongest man in the world and his entire crew.
