The future Marine Admiral… Fujitora Issho?
A true monster.
After the Marineford War, Akainu rose to Fleet Admiral, while Aokiji—crippled in their duel—left the Marines, leaving two vacant admiral seats. Fujitora, through a world draft, became one of the Admirals. So powerful was he that the Marines broke all precedent, promoting him directly to Admiral—an unprecedented leap.
And unlike others, Fujitora's justice was true justice.
He despised pirates, but valued civilian safety above capturing them. He loathed the World Government's lies and cover-ups. If an order clashed with his sense of justice, even Akainu's commands meant nothing.
A Marine of pure conviction—protecting the people above all.
That such a man stood here now was beyond expectation.
"I've heard whispers of a blind swordsman," Lieutenant Allent thought to himself, "a righteous man who fought not for bounties, but to free islands oppressed by pirates. That must be him."
Creed stepped forward, smiling. "What you've done is the duty of Marines. Still, I thank you."
"Marines? In the New World?" Issho tilted his head. "That is good news indeed. Losing these eyes… only allowed me to see more clearly the world's evils. What I can do is little—this age feels endless."
Creed probed his strength.
[Name]: Issho
[Strength]: SS+
[Agility]: S-
[Defense]: SS
[Spirit]: SSS
[Abilities]: SS+ Armament Haki, SSS+ Observation Haki, SSS Swordsmanship, SS+ Sound Location
[Devil Fruit]: Paramecia—Gravity Fruit
[Overall Power]: SSS
Creed's eyes narrowed. So this was the man destined to be Admiral. His spirit power alone—SSS—was the highest he had ever seen. His Observation Haki, SSS+, made him terrifying. Blind yet able to perceive everything—the flow of clouds, the weight of gravity, the goodness or evil within a heart. With his fruit, he could alter gravity itself—summoning meteors from the heavens, making warships float, or deflecting attacks with repulsion.
A terrifying ability, a terrifying man. No wonder the Marines broke all rules to raise him to Admiral.
Issho turned to leave, stepping toward his small ship.
"Join us."
Creed's words made him pause. "Join… the Marines?"
Issho shook his head. "Your branch in the New World serves only as the World Government's eyes and ears. You watch the Yonko, but dare not act."
Creed laughed. "We are not G-5. We are G-K."
"G-K?"
"Correct. G-5 watches. G-K acts. We came to the New World for one purpose: to stir chaos. The bigger, the better. Join us. Alone, you can't shield civilians from every battle's fallout. With us, that burden disappears."
Creed's words struck deep. For Issho, civilians meant everything.
Creed raised his voice. "I, Monkey D. Creed, grandson of Garp, swear—if you join, I grant you the rank of Vice Commander of G-K, second only to me!"
Issho turned his blind eyes toward him. "The one who defeated Crocodile, Iron Fist Zhem, and the Marine Hunter Pirates… Creed?"
"Exactly."
"Very well. I will join."
Creed blinked in surprise. He had expected a long argument, not instant agreement.
Issho smiled faintly. "I once saw your grandfather's kindness. My homeland was saved by him. And though I lack eyes, my heart sees clearer than ever. In you, I see the one who may end this age of evil."
Creed grinned. "Then welcome. From now on, you are Vice Commander of G-K!"
"Vice… Commander?" Allent gasped.
Creed silenced him with a glance. "If you doubt him, challenge him. Beat him, and the position is yours. Issho, you have no objection?"
"None."
Allent stepped forward. Their unit had always respected strength above all. Creed had proven himself—there was no complaint. But this blind man suddenly placed above them? That was harder to accept.
"Then I'll test you!"
He launched forward, fist blazing with Armament Haki, a punch screaming through the air toward Issho.
The blind man did not move.
At the last instant, he drew the blade hidden in his cane.
"Gravity Command."
The air bent. Allent's body staggered, crushed as though a mountain had landed on his shoulders.
