"White soil." Adam would mumble to himself as he would make it. Descending from the heaven's to reach this, unholy, place. It was truly strange, but not the strangest, place Adam had come to. He could though say this was the first time he had traveled to suck an Island without anyone. This wasn't his younger days when he had traveled around the Blues, as well as grand line, with that Marine Derous. Or with those people. He was all alone right now, but he did not plan on dwelling long on this. As his arrival to this place was to return what had been taken, and never come back. Right now he was in the middle of nowhere, but when he had come from the sky he saw where he needed to go. he saw the beckon of light on this Island, but he decided against going there first. There where a couple of reason for this. One being that he simply wanted to get a lay of the land; maybe meet some regular people that decided against being in the city, or even just travelers heading there. The second reason being that he just didn't think it would be a good idea to just land there, right now. Even though on the way here was talking to himself, to mental prepared for what he was going to do, he still wasn't done having this conversation. And the last reason was because this place had hidden treasure all over.

Hours would go by before he would make it to any for of life, white soil for miles. It was a small village, simple and primitive. No one was out at this time, and were most likely sleeping. There though were some guards that seemed to be patrolling this village. And they would spot the all white Adam, him only sticking to his red mask. The light from the moon also aided in their vision as it was high in the sky, and there was no cloud in the sky. It was actually a beautiful night.

"Halt! State your name and purpose, strange!" One of the two Guards would say as they would raise their rifles. They would begin to slowly move toward Adam, guns raised and fingers on the trigger. From the looks of it these people weren't killers.

"Relax, I come in peace. I'm just traveling." Adam would say as he raised his both hands, and didn't move a muscle. They seemed anxious. So he didn't want them to accidentally miss-fire. And he didn't want his journey to end from some fool with an old rifle.

"O-okay." One of them would begin to lower his rifle.

"Idiot! Raise your gun! He could be one of them!" The other would say.

"Who?" Adam would inquire.

"Someone from that damn RED CITY! You can't be that guy or lady's solider, you don't have that mark. B-but..... I know. I know you plan to come and attack us." The Second Guard would say.

"Relax." A voice would call out from behind the two Guards.

"Elder?!" They both would say in unison. Also turning around to see that a old wrinkly old man brandishing a cane.

Avoiding needless dialogue. Adam would be saved from trying to be attacked by one of the guards. He would bring him to his stone hut and he would begin to explain to Adam the situation with Baltigo.

Baltigo once, in his time, used to be one of the headquarters  to the Evolutionary Army. How he knows this is because he used to be a member. This place back then wasn't such a lavish hub. Not many had even knew it existed until those two had come. It wasn't just their forces but those that came shortly after. the Revolutionary also at that time where at their weakest due to many of their strongest members being gone. The Old man also would tell Adam that the person to betray them was one of the individuals that had come here to take part of it. The Shichibukai Wayland.


Adam would then be told about each and every section of the Red City, and also given a map. A great start to his journey, there was something though. He was told that going there would bring back old habits.

"Listen, I must warn you. I see in your eyes that what I've told you hasn't swayed you away from heading there. Please, young man. Don't go. No one that goes there ever comes back, no matter what they promise themselves before going there. " But what he said would fall on death ears as Adam would leave the stone hut without saying anything as he knew what he was going to do. But once he had reached the Red City it seemed his sins had actually come back to life. And in four months Adam someone that had been a great man, had actually becoming a hush of his former self. Well, in the eyes of others he was. Adam came off more as a shady drunk.


Adam no longer stood that much out as a noble man in white, but as just a regular joe. He now has extensive black fingernails and a noticeable scar across his face, neck, and left pinky finger. But that is if they are revliaed as he coverd his face with his bangs and his collar his neck.  His robe is predominantly black; additionally, his attire includes an incredibly long top hat, and a gray scarf strapped across his chest and knotted by the hips. He wears an emerald ring on his left index finger; he wears a band of prayer beads around his neck, and he formerly wears a chain with six mourning lockets around his hip. His wings are also hidden underneath his robe. At first glance you would think he was just a human.

In all actuality though Adam had changed on purpose, to blend in. It was the only way he would make it in this place. This home, or bar, he resided in wasn't his a month ago. The owner was someone no one would miss and Adam took advantage of that, and disposed of them. And from his understanding things like that actually happened a lot around here, as this was the Red District. This place had the least security in the whole city. But, that doesn't mean the law doesn't take care of big nuisances. Or if you taxes aren't paid. Adam though just hasn't paid what he owes at this moment, but he is just waiting on the Peacekeepers to come and collect the payment. As he indeed collected the amount needed. But something would happen, something that he didn't expect.

"Listen up! You will pay us for protection, got it! You don't want people coming in here and just doing as they please." A large brutish man would say his arm being robotic, as he and his men came into the establishment. The entirety of this floor was 60 feet wide and eighty feet long. Tables and chairs were scattered around, and the place had somewhat of a run down feeling to it. But it was getting better, Adam just stole the place. He was making a much improvements as he could. It wasn't like he was a carpenter, as he was just winging it. But this is probably why they were trying to hustle him, cause people did indeed fill this place each and every night. Around eighty people all crunched up together having a good ol' time. Shit even at this moment the max capacity was over the amount, this being ninety people in the bar. His staff was comprised of hookers who also sold their bodies here, as well as any poor folk that needed a job. Adam's whole thing was that they would need to give him his share of what they made tonight. Whether it from them selling ass here or selling drugs. As some of the floor on the upper floors, as this was a five story building, were used for many illegal activities. Well, illegal on any other Island.

"Well. I *hiccup* can't say I've had any problems with that. But even if I did I could handle it myself, so don't worry. How about *hiccup* you guys just relax and have some drinks, on me." Adam would try to say. He honestly didn't want a fight to break out, but if it would be would end it. Hopefully before the Peacekeepers came.

The whole reason Adam was here right now and looked like this, was to gather information. Many people would say anything to their bartender, and Adam knew that. As he used to do the same thing when he first came to this city, telling the previous owner his whole plan. And that is when he made this knew one. Using the teachings he got from Derous to play a whole new role, as if he was an actor.

"What happened here?" A peacekeeper would say as he would enter into Adam's establishment. In total there where twenty human like being in the establishment at this moment, but they weren't human. How they spoke was more artificial. Adam would look around and see that due to what had previously transpired within the establishment the Beli that he was supposed to pay was missing. He had failed in stopping them all and he was going to pay the price. He knew though that fighting the Peacekeepers would do nothing but make more come. Finding that out a while ago. Once one Peacekeeper, living or artificial, would be killed a beacon will be sent out and more will quickly swarm that area. Killing a regular person wasn't something they would usually swarm to, unless they are special. Adam for a fact though knew that once you killed one of them, you would be in deep shit.

"Just the usual bar fight. May I help you?" Adam would say, trying to act as normal as he could. As he knew the danger he was in right now. He had to find a way to get out of this, as he doesn't know what will happen to him. Those that can't pay their taxes aren't heard from again.

"We know you are the owner of this place. We have come for what you owe. So, do you have it?" One of the Peacekeepers would say as they all would begin to brandish their weapons. Adam couldn't tell anything they were thinking from their facial expressions, as they had on masks.


"No." Adam would quickly tell them as he couldn't think of anything to say that would get him out of this. His smile though, through all of this, stayed on his face. Smiling in the face of defeat or death, whatever you wished to call this.

"Then you are under arrest. Come with us. Or pay with your life now." One Peacekeeper would say as he would reach over the bar and grab Adam by his collar, and lift him up and over the bar. And onto the ground hard. Some of the guys from earlier that had been knocked out earlier had awoken, but didn't leave. "All of you are under arrest for being in this illegal establishment. " One Peacekeeper would say. Many people would begin to run, but those that ran would be shot down where they stood. Other that knew they couldn't run away, like Adam, would be placed in cuffs and walked outside of the establishment. Everyone would then be taken to either two places, the Middle tower or the Employment House. Adam would be taken to the Middle tower due to not paying the taxes. It would take a while though for him to make it there.

The corpse of the Peacekeeper that had been killed would begin to beep. Though, the beeping wouldn't be able to be heard by the average person. But every Peacekeeper within the Red City, or outside, will get this message. The message that one of their own had been killed. This had been the second Peacekeeper to be killed within a week, and that was bad. Order was something that needed to be kept. So, all Peacekeepers would begin their search for the criminals.

Erzeal and Adam weren't the only law breakers to be captured today, a decent size group of prisoners would be made in hours. All that stayed on the streets due to the alert being some of these people. Only those that could buy their way out of this or had special permission wouldn't be roped in to this round up.  

"All of you will be divide up and sent to a specific place, for your crimes. Any of you act out of line now, we kill you. So PEACEKEEPERS GET STARTED!" The Man that spoke wasn't like the rest, he was completely different. These little guys android or humanoid could've been taken out by Adam alone, but not this guy. He was cut above the rest. So, he must be a high commanding officer or something, well that is what Adam though. That would be the only reason he felt this strong presence from this guy. All those captured would be encircled by a a large amount, eighty, of Peacekeepers. The prisoner number though was only half of that.

Adam and Erzeal would be grouped together along with two others, and they would be lead by the guy that was giving orders. In total twenty other regular Peacekeepers would accompany the Commander while he escorted these four prisoners. If you didn't walk as they instructed you would be attacked, but the Commander himself. Who can even capture Devil Fruit users if he had to run into one, equipped to deal with their kind. He was in front of the four prisoners and the other guards formed a formation around all of them. Also the alarm that was sounded was turned of and everything was returned back to normal and the treats were filled with life again. But, no one within their right mind would stand in the way of the Peacekeeper group as they marched.

Under the impression Erzeal was walking without causing problems Adam would stand beside him. Adam would notice that this man was a bit banged up, nothing serious, and he was probably a poor soul wrapped into this unneeded madness. Well, that was Adam's first thought. He though knew who this man was, a Noble. Adam didn't get to introduce himself at the Reverie, nor did anyone pay him mind, but he remembered a couple faces and names. And this guy was one of the people that was there. "So, how do you plan to survive? We are going to be heading to the Middle Tower. Wh-" Adam wouldn't get to finish as the Commander would stop in his tracks and back hand him. Sending Adam to the ground, a bit of blood trickling down from his nose.

"Listen, no prisoners get to talk while we walk. Okay?" The Commander would say as Adam began to get up. Adam wouldn't say anything back or attack, as at this point he would lose. Anyone would lose if they tried to fight this man right now. But, Adam would begin to plot. For what this guy just did there will be no turning back. As he had signed his own death wish.

Adam would nob his head to Llyod, agreeing to stick with the guy. Not because he need someone but because he wanted to be partnered with someone. As it came into view. The building that towered over everything within this City stood tall in front of them, and it was impressive.

"This is it boys!" The Commander would say as he would then place collars on each of the prisoners, and then remove their shackles. "Remove these you die. Not just because they are explosive collars, but because you are still going to be watched. BUT! You no longer need any shackles. So go on then! Oh and one more thing! You guys need to find a partner to be with for your fights. And any questions just as one of those things." And the doors to the Middle Tower would open up.

Adam wouldn't wait at all to enter, "Amazing." This place was something that he didn't expect at all. From the outside he thought it would look extremely well dirty and from the rumors bloody. But it wasn't this place was more like a palace if anything. A place that royalty would stay honestly.  


Before Adam would get far he would be stopped, "WELCOME!" A Woman with a robotic voice would eagerly say as she jumped into the face of Adam, "This the Colosseum. I see you have a collar! EXCELLENT! Your next fight will be in five hours, so have a partner by then. Or you will be eliminated. Also please make yourself at home, but don't cause problems or you will be eliminated. Also YOU guys are too dirty. So if you wish I can have you fixed up and in new garments in no time. "

"Ugh, sure. But if you fix me up give me a red mask also." Adam would say and the Woman would get to work. Moving at speeds that where unable to be watched by Adam, but in mere minutes he would be fully clothed in white garments. He was now wearing a mask that resembled a crow's beak and also a completely new outfit.



"This will now your outfit, I also dyed your hair. I hope you enjoy wearing it rather than those dusty rags." The Woman would say. There was another one with her that would help Erzeal if he wished to be changed into something more fitting, as his clothing was also dirty. This was only optional though and just so those around, that weren't participating in fights, wouldn't have to look a bums.

"If that is all I will be going. Please, be ready for your first fight." The Woman would say if no one had a question for her.

Adam wouldn't have anything to ask and was fine with having his clothing changed, he didn't really enjoy long hair anymore. And his short hair suited him better, as well as his white attire. Also his wings now where out and able to breathe, something that he has wanted to do for a while. If Erzeal didn't ask the Woman of anything other than a clothing change, he would speak with his partner. "I already understand we will be partners, so we need to speak over there." Adam would point over to the bar that was within this large lower level. This place being extremely large and spacious, hundreds of people just on this floor alone. Adam would begin walking over and hopefully Erzeal will follow him. He would sit at a table in the corner, since it was the only one open. And only speak if Erzeal sat across from him.

"So, before we get into a plan I want to introduce myself, I am Adam. "

Adam would slam his hand on to the table, extremely loudly. This was to make it so no one would be able to hear anything after Erzeal said his first name. This drew a bit of attention to them, but soon no one would pay them mind once a waiter would come over to them.

"May I take your order? Just give us the best of everything." Adam would say to quickly have the waiter leave them. He would then turn back to Erzeal, as he looked away to make eye contact with the waiter.

"I know who you are. But, we can't allow anyone else to know that. You are let's say extremely valuable, if the wrong people try to take you. So, am I. But, they won't have a reason to see that value unless we make it known. So we will stay on a first name basis, until we are in a safer environment. And sorry for interrupting you like that." Adam would say as he would shake Erzeal's hand, if he still wanted to. Though, under the slim chance someone would try anything that would put Adam on edge he would devoid this world of what it valued above everything. That thing being what is always around us and allows us to continue to stay within this world.

He wouldn't keep shaking Erzeal's hand either, but would stop after one shake. And then he would place both of his hands on the top of the table, and he wouldn't say anything. As it didn't take anytime for the waiter to come back with their food. Even if Erzeal wasn't hungry he could just save it for later, or just not touch it. It was a feast honestly, and smelled delicious. They each also got three drinks, some alcohol, water, & tea. Probably to give them a choice between drinks without asking.



Adam would slowly remove his mask, and place it in his seat, right beside himself. "Don't fear the food." Adam would say as he would actually dig in, as he hadn't eaten all day. The time, from the clock in the corner, let them know it was 5:00pm. So, at 10:00pm they would have to report to their fight. From the rumors he heard that people only die in their fights. All he wanted to right now though was to make sure he was feed and would have the energy for their own fight. If Erzeal didn't have anything to say and they would just eat, Adam would stand up once finished.

"I think we should go and watch a fight, so we know what we are up against. Okay? " Adam would ask his comrade. Hopefully he would follow him and they would be able to leave this bar. Adam would go alone though is Erzeal didn't go with him. If he did though Adam would lead him out of the bar. And then into a passage where other people began to flock into. From the sign above the entrance it was obvious this was the entrance to the arena, for the spectators. Adam would head to seat high in the rafters, so he could not only see the stage, but also other notable things.

"No matter what, don't do anything. " Is all Adam would say as he would tke his seat.



"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! WE HAVE AN AMAZING SHOW FOR YOU TONIGHT! TWO GOLIATH'S WILL ENTER THE RING AND DUCK IT OUT FOR YOUR PLEASURE! BUT BEFORE THAT PLEASE PULL OUT THE DEVICES UNDERNEATH YOU SEATS AND VOTE TO DECIDED IF THIS WILL BE A FIGHT TO THE DEATH OR UNTIL ONE OR BOTH CONTESTANTS ARE NO LONGER ABLE TO CONTINUE!"

So, at this moment he was only a spectator. He would reach under his seat and pull out a the small device that simple had two options. "Death" Or "Shame".

'So if they lose they are basically living in shame, for being at the mercy of their foe and the crowd.' Adam would think  to himself as he would press the button for 'Death'. Simply because he didn't care if anyone here died or lived. He hadn't even seen the fighters yet, so he didn't even have any connection to them to care. After he pressed the button his attention would then turn to the screen above the stage, as it showed the results as they came in. In the beginning it was neck in neck but 'Death' ultimately came out on top.

And with the results the fighters would come in, and instantly Adam would be regretting his decision. As he knew one of the fights, "Gabriel." He would mumble under is breathe at the sight of someone that used to reside in Skypiea came out. That man used to fight a long side his Father. Adam couldn't believe that he had just condemned someone he cared for. And now he had to sit here and hope whoever his friend was fighting wouldn't be killed.

"AND OUR NEXT FIGHTER IS SOMEONE SAID TO BE HAVE BEEN KILLED! THE FALLEN NOBLE JADEN WINSOR!" The Announcer would say as someone, would walk out. Have of his head was completely bone. No one knew this, but maybe Erzeal, but Jaden had eaten a Devil Fruit that wouldn't allow him to die so easily. The Yomi Yomi no mi.

Arena:

Tasks:

Adam couldn't do this, he couldn't let Gabriel fight to the death. "Not enough!" he would yell.

"What are you yelling about?" Someone in front of Adam would say.

"What am I say? I'm saying they haven't given us enough, more people could fight in that ring. those two look impressive, but they aren't the cream of the crop. AND YOU KNOW IT! SO DEMAND WHAT YOU ARE OWED! GET YOUR FUCKING MONEYS WORTH, FRIEND!" Adam would say this with the utmost confidence, and the fool before him would begin to think. Think that he paid more for this and should get a better fight than what was being present to him. And he would stand to his feet, along with others that stood next to him. They would begin to chant.

"MORE FIGHTERS!" Quickly, more and more people jumped onto this wave and the whole stadium, in minutes, would begin to demand more fighters. Did they need more? No, who was presented to them was enough. But, people always felt entitled to more, especially if they spent money for something. It didn't matter if they knew the deal was fair, they would still try to get more. This was something that most, if not everyone entitled, would feel. Honestly, Adam was just the same way at times.

The Announcer would notice this and shake his head, as they were putting him in a tough fight. "OKAY! THERE WERE A FEW LITTLE TRAINING MATCHES WE PLANNED TO HAVE IN A FEW HOURS. BUT I THINK THIS WOULD BE THE PERFECT CHANCE FOR THEM TO TRAIN! SO, GIVE ME JUST A MOMENT!" The Announcer would say as he would pull up his sleeve and reveal a device. Only if you had a good eye would you be able to spot it, and also that he would press a button. This button would sent a light shock to everyone wearing one of those collars. And after word a brief message. That message being that they needed to report to Arena X for their match within the next ten minutes with their partner, or their collar would explode. The voice being similar to that of one of the robotic women Adam and Erzeal ran into upon entering this place.

"The plan is simply then. We head down there and protect, but also make sure we come out on top." Adam would tell Erzeal as he would begin to head down from the stands. As even though he could survive the explosion he didn't want to let them know his abilities. That would just put a big target on his back, or draw too much attention.

The ring was exactly 40X60 meters, but the announcer would only allow twenty-five fighters at a time to be on the ring, not including the two already in the ring before the change. And it seemed many of the fighters that would have been fighting later where also in the crowd, but didn't sit up as high as Adam and Erzeal. Only about four others sat up as high as they did. It showed Adam that only a few knew how to scoop out this place, before their own fight. But, yeah once Adam and Erzeal would make it down to the area floor the amount for the ring would already be filled. This gave them time to just watch though and also draw up a strategy.

Once the two where down there, as they would be the last to make it, the announcer would speak once more. All he would say is that only four fighters can make it out of this match, alive. So to Adam what they needed to be done was clear. They need to just make sure they didn't die, and the people they cared about didn't as well.

"You see how big the ring is? We should each take a side, once we can enter. I only say this because what I can do might harm or hinder you, if you are too close to me. Also, this helps us figure out who among these people truly are strong." Adam would tell Erzeal. Standing a bit closer than he has ever done, just so that what he said could only be heard by Erzeal himself.

The fighting too no time to start and slowly more and more people where eliminated, which mean't killed. But with the more deaths, that were being kept tracked of on the screen above, the more cheers from the crowd. These people, no matter what race, where showing their truly barbaric side, and it was saddening. He couldn't understand what people saw in the deaths of others, as it didn't help with anything. He wasn't someone afraid to kill someone, but only if they deserve it. That is the only reason someone should be killed, not for fun. But his ideals wouldn't be pushed onto these people, as it would be a waste of his time. All he could do right now was save someone close to him, as well as protect his partner. Those were his only two goals at this moment, and the only things that would make him kill today. As he watched more and more of the fights he would try to figure out where Gabriel was at, and then he saw him. He was getting ganged up by a group of fighters, but he was holding his own. He was also pretty far so Adam would either have to fly over the other fighters or just push through.

"NEXT GROUP!" The Announcer would yell, and Adam's and Erzeal's collars would shock them. It seemed they would be the next ones to head into the ring to do battle.

Adam wouldn't take anytime to do this, and would push through. But not fight his way through, and he would begin to remove it all. Activating one of his deadliest moves, hopefully Erzeal had already gotten away from Adam, as he didn't want that man to get into danger. Everyone around him would been to feel the effects, immediately. All Adam needed to make sure was that if he did get Gabriel in the middle of the attack, he releases it on time. Or alerts him, and then the idea hit him.

"GABRIEL TAKE TO THE SKY!" Adam would yell, and his voice would immediately he heard by Gabriel. Gabriel would know the voice of Adam, as it was the only familiar one. He wondered though why the Prince, as he didn't know Adam was God at this moment, was even here. He didn't even know if Adam was within the crow or was sadly within this group of fighters. He hoped though that isn't wasn't the latter, as he would have to kill him.


No one seemed to be able to even lay a finger on Jaden, as his skill with his blade was above all in attendance. Added with some strange freezing ability, fighting him would be extremely difficult. Something though was off about him, but only Erzeal would know this. Since the two know each other before this whole thing, but Erzeal would only find this out when Jaden attacks him.
