The Path of the Great Sovereign 189 Harsh Truths

Taking a sip of his tea Tatsuo continues reading through his reports as he formulates his thoughts.

'Whitebeard has recovered to his peak Physical condition as his body has been reverted to what it was 50 years ago. The East Blue operations are moving smoothly as my subordinates have infiltrated the North, South, and West blue along with Paradise and the New World. The 1,000 Marines that came with me to the East Blue have all moved up in the ranks and spread throughout the world with subordinates of their own expanding my forces even further. Marshall D. Teach was killed in an attempt to steal from Whitebeard, the chessboard has been set.'

Looking at a report a word came into his view that triggered memories he had forgotten.

'Charlotte Huh.'

*Tap* *Tap* *Tap*

Tatsuo's pen tapped on his desk as he went deep into thought.

Big Mom, the only female member of the Yonko and a Pirate that is actively seeking to be the King or in this case Queen of the Pirates. Honestly, I admire her dream of making a place where all races could live in harmony but her way of doing it is less than acceptable.'

*Tap* *Tap* *Tap*

'There isn't much for me to do as of now but wait...maybe Big Mom would be a great target. Her attitude makes it impossible to reason with her with the exception of Whitebeard and Kaido. Kiado is another one that I need to remove.'

*Tap* *Tap* *Tap*

'This Plane has far more people that are clinically insane than people that listen to reason.'

*Tap* *Tap* *Tap*

'Also the ruling powers are so ineffective they have allowed these tumorous individuals to manifest and grow to this level.'

*Tap* *Tap* *Tap*

Feeling himself becoming flustered, Tatsuo stood up and looked out the window at the calm sea below.

'A lot of these pirate groups need to be exterminated but it is still a bit too early to do so.'

So Tatsuo begins living a more quiet and secluded life as he did his duties until the day Ace was taken into custody.

As he already passed down instructions to his subordinates he was not worried but as expected Whitebeard flipped out. The world doesn't know that Whitebeard is no longer the sick man he once was but a Young man once again in his prime ready and willing for any encounter.

As Whitebeard prepared to Attack Marineford Tatsuo went to Whole Cake Island at the center of Totto Land.

Unlike when he went to Whitebeard's territory, Fish-men island Tatsuo was attacked as soon as he was spotted.

Flicking his wrist all attacks were negated as he stood in the air leisurely.

"An Underling shouldn't be so quick to throw away their life."

Tatsuo looked down at the Chess Soldiers, Homies, Officers, and Sweet Commanders that gathered below him.

"I Forgot that Katakuri can see into the future so you already knew I was coming, isn't that right Big Mom?!"

"Mamamama, Admiral MokuKaze! It seems you haven't come with good intentions!"

Activating her Devil Fruit the Soru Soru no mi Big Mom tried to use her abilities on the Admiral yet it had no effect.

"I should have expected a Man like you to not fear me or death."

"Why would I fear death when even the god of death has been killed by Me?"

The Weather around whole cake Island changed drastically when Tatsuo made his appearance, the original beautiful sunny day turned overcast as winds blew so hard the weaker folk of the island were forced inside.

Laid out in front of Tatsuo was basically an Army, he stood in the sky with his arms crossed as he looked down at them with disinterest before making eye contact with Big Mom.

"I admire your dream that all races should be able to live together in harmony."

Big Mom's eyes lit up for a moment but the next words caused her mood to sour.

"What I do not admire is the methods you used to get there. Ignoring the fact that you had a child every year because of your body, your choice. However, you practically raped 42 men then, forced them to live here or in a prison. Doing research on children that will destroy their bodies and limit their life spans all so that you can have this fantasy of sitting at a table surrounded by the different races all at eye level with you. It's Pathetic."

Looking at Big Mom as she got angrier and angrier along with her children Tatsuo felt nothing but repulsion.

"No wonder your crew is only made us of your children and people too afraid of your power to speak up about."

"Zeus!"

A Dark Cloud was summoned out of Big Moms Left hand.

"Don't Speak that name in my presence."

Snapping his fingers Tatsuo Pressurized Zeus himself along with the Homies and foot soldiers below. This wasn't a gradual change but an instantaneous one, so those with fleshy bodies unable to adapt to the quick change in air pressure popped like confetti.

The Ground below which was once filled with lush green grass and confectionaries of all kinds became reminiscent of a slaughterhouse as body parts, organs, and bones were thrown in many different directions.

"Look at that, all that hard work, gone. Just like that. However, look and listen closely, are any of the regular citizens crying? Screaming? Cowering in fear?"

Big Mom was far beyond reason at this point in time but her children followed the Admiral's instructions and looked around Whole cake Island and even the surrounding Isles. Like MokuKaze said the residents were instead looking out of their windows, door cracks, or whatever they could to not be seen but seeing everything.

"Isn't it amusing that only your children Love you?"
