Some would wonder why one of the Three Admirals was on a ship being escorted by a Rear Admiral. The deep gravity on the ship led to no one talking, not a single soul. Haba D. Hilfiger was a woman who got annoyed very quickly and it usually followed with the death of someone or destruction of property. The latter having happened only a few days ago. When she had destroyed her own ship in a blaze of flames due to the ensigns having a dance battle. She had killed at least twenty of them in the process, but no one dared to say anything about it. Crying to someone wouldn't help as she was a Admiral, only under the Gorosei and Fleet Admiral. Some would say they were the Generals of all the marine forces.

At the moment her arms were laying on the rails of the ship as her piercing purple eyes stared into the Sea. She wasn't seasick or anything. She simple hated being on the water for too long. Having eaten a Devil Fruit during her child years, she had grown accustomed to it, but she still didn't want to fall in the sea. She could just fly if she failed, but she still hasn't mastered the ability of having wings, so she doubt that would work. She couldn't depend on any member within her fleet as they would hesitate to let her die. She was the embodiment of Absolute Justice for the World Government. And that meant not letting anyway get away with anything.

Absolute Justice, in this sense can be served to a criminal in many ways from time in prison to execution. The classic view of how a criminal should 'receive justice' is thought of as "an eye for an eye", which means if they have done something wrong, they deserve a punishment as great as the crime they committed. If a person murders someone, then according to this term, it means they themselves should face the death penalty as a suitable form of justice. However, Haba takes this to another level as a form of Dark Justice. Meaning that if anyone does something that she deems as a crime then they are viable for execution.

Still leaning on the rails, something would come into view. Before she could alert the others by saying her signature "Yer" the screaming of the Rear Admiral had already taken place. "You fuckers! I told you we were heading in the correct direction. I'm not known as the best Navigator in the world for nothing!" This would cause Haba to roll her eyes. The insolent fool was only a Rear Admiral. No one knew his name and she sure as hell didn't. She was only using the fool's ship so that she could travel to Marineford, but it seemed like they had gotten lost and it ended up with them being stuck at Sea for days. Even for a Admiral it was a daring thing to endure. The Seas of Paradise were lurking with all types of monsters and humans. Although she could take anything easily. There were still things here that even rivaled her in power. So that meant being cautious everywhere she went. Her predator eyesight honing in on the island, she would come to see that it was about a mile away. A small smirk would come to appear on her face. She had maintained her straight face for a couple of days so it felt good to move it, even it was slightly.

"You insolent fool! Stop all of that ignorant screaming and take me to Land before I have your head!" said Haba, the words rolling off of her tongue was enough to make the small fish that had been following the medium sized ship to dive beneath the water's surface. Upon hearing her words, the Rear Admiral would force the ship to go faster. This would cause water to sprinkle all over the deck of the ship. Her flame like hair becoming wet. Turning her head slightly, her eyes would come to pierce those of the Rear Admiral. "Maybe you should go for a little swim yourself." The words were calm and collected, but they had enough power in them to send the Rear Admiral running to the rails of the ship and jumping in the sea as if he was a Olympic Swimmer. Due to how fast the boat was going, it would quickly leave him to be wading in the water where he jumped. Him screaming for help. Everyone looked at Haba in surprise and fear. She had just talked a man into jumping over board. She was known as a Lady of Many Abilities and that was could easily be the most powerful.

Ignoring the stares that she was receiving. She would only stare at the land as it would slowly come into view. Only a couple hundred feet away until she could touch the soil of the earth. She had began to throw her leather jacket around her shoulders as she made sure her sword was safely strapped to her waist. Looking back at the members of the Fleet, she would wink as she jumped onto the rails. Holding her balance, her mind would begin to count Sub consciously for her. At the count of five, her knees would bend as she springed forward off of the ship just as the ship would impact the hard outer rock of the island. Due to her momentum, she would come to land perfectly and softly on land as if nothing had even happened. Looking at the members of her small fleet who had been thrown around everywhere, a tick of a vein would become to appear on her forehead. "Maybe if you fools learned how to battle instead of having Dance Battles then you wouldn't be over there doggy paddling for your lives." About one or two members of the fleet had did the same as Haba. These two were Red Rose, her trusted right hand woman who she cared for, although she didn't show it. And her left hand woman Neko Yama, a Mink who could be as powerful as the Admiral if she put her mind to it.

Looking around her vicinity, she would see the members of the fleet start to climb from the water. Bleeding caused by the destruction of the ship making blood deep into the soil of the earth. Well that went her only way off the island. She would look within the left jacket pocket as a glimpse of gold would reveal itself. She could always use that to get a fleet or two rolling in. As she thought of pressing the button she would see countless blood red flowers bloom where the blood had seeped into the earth. That was weird? Maybe it was one of those new types of Photosynthesis. Whatever it was she needed to find out where they were located. If she was gone for too long with no connection to a Marine Facility then they would probably label her MIA. Now she couldn't lose her Admiral position due to lousy connections. She would look around, rather a peculiar island indeed.

Spoiler:

How long had it been? A few days maybe? Probably a week? Haba didn't know, she only knew that her and the members of her fleet had been traveling close to the only water source that they could find on the island. A river that seemed to be endless, but full of water that was as pure as the Heavens above. No, she wasn't dehydrated. She was hungry. She hadn't ate in seven days. Sure she could go way longer due to her Kuja metabolism, but a week without eating was only the starting point. Having to only run on water wasn't pleasant, nor was it good for the members of her fleet. Looking around, she would see as they began to carry one another on their backs. Pitiful humans. She could care less if any one of them died, but that would mean her fleet would be wiped out. She couldn't be the weakest amongst the Admirals.

Staring at the humans, she would deliver a frown. They had been walking for a day now and hadn't taken a break yet. Maybe she could show a bit of mercy if she was to keep her fleet intact. As she walked in front of the group of marines, she would thrust her hand into the sky, signaling that they were coming to a stop. "Take your rest. We will only be here for thirty minutes. We need to find us a source of food. Whether it is civilization or plants. Try to get as much rest and water as you can because we will be back on our feet when the time is up." Upon saying this she would hear groans of pleasure. Unlike her fleet members, she would keep walking along the bank of the river. She had taken out the thing that she wanted to press, but could not do to the effects that it may cause. It may be their only way off of the island, but what if the island had more secrets than she had realized? She could probably claim it for herself?

Thrusting the Golden Snail back into her pocket, she would stop walking and look at the members of her fleet. It was indeed a small fleet. Around thirty or forty members, they didn't even have a ship to transport them to other islands. Her Fleet was known to be full of bad luck. One day they could be 20,000 strong and the next they could be down to only ten men. Haba liked Battle and the thought of killing. Fighting is what led them to their predicament on this island. She had finally located the Revolutionary Submarine, but due to her junky like attitude. Their ship had blown up in the process. Causing multiple members of the crew to die as well as their form of transportation to be non existent.

She would come to take a seat in the sandy dirt like beach. Small miniature waves hitting her body as they impacted the shore. As she sat there, waiting. She would hear the jingle of bells. She had thought that they were the signaling of the Gates of Heaven opening for her, but she doubted that would be the place where she went to in the after life. She was literally Hell. Upon hearing the bells, she would see almost everyone jump up and look around in both panic and joy. She did not display any of those emotions. Who knows what those bells meant. For all they know they were about to be attacked by gremlins. Still on her spot in the sand she would scream saying "Don't look so happy. Get ready to fight!"

Upon saying this, the bells would ring again. This time her senses allowing her to pinpoint the direction in which they were coming from. Looking behind her, she would see a large canoe type boat traveling in her direction. First it would pass the Fleet. The tip of it would stop in the water where she was sitting in the sand. The boat was long, appearing to be about 50-60 meters in length. However it wasn't that wide. Only wide enough for maybe a garbage can to fit in it. However it had exactly one hundred seats. Which were more than enough for her crew to sit on. As the boat would come to a stop, she would hear the jingle of bells once again. This would cause her to slowly rise as she was met face to face with someone dressed in robes as dark as the night's sky. "Do you need a ride to the Door of Hell."

The words that came from the cloaked figure seemed to be that of a man with an accent. Was he mocking her or were her and her Fleet members truly dead? As if instinct, a blue fire would blaze on the tip of her index finger. If she died then she wouldn't be able to use her Devil Fruit abilities. However, she decided to try and test her luck. "Who are you and where are we?" Said Haba as she began to interrogate the cloaked figure. The man would remove the hood from his head. Revealing a face made of a skull. "I am Charon. The Ferryman of Zerene. The Island of Solitude." Haba would only state at the man. With the removing of his Hood, her crew members would gasp in horror. She had seen things more horrific, but it still shook her. "I will not repeat myself for a third time. Do you need a ride?" Haba was about to say a ride to where, but she could ask when her Fleet was on the boat. And if the man tried something she could just turn him into bones for pups. Motioning her hand, she would signal for the people to hop into the boat.

Though she would come to sit right behind the man Charon. She needed to ask him more questions. She hadn't heard of a Island called Zerene before. Upon the load of her fleet members. She would see the skeleton head's mouth move into maybe a smile? The head would nod as he moved an ore through the river. "The Inner City is where we are going. It is where all of our newcomers first go. How long have you been here?" said Charon as he faced the direction of the boat. Haba would look back at her Fleet Members then to Charon as she would say "A week or so. Why?" She would hear a small laugh from Charon as it seemed like he was about to say something, but was rudely interrupted by horrific screams coming from the sky. Looking above her head, she would see a large group of winged women coming their way. She had heard of the Sky Island before and had even met their race of people, but she had never seen these types of females. Where their arms were, were wings. And where their hands should be were talons. It was as if they were birds.

As they flew downward at high speeds towards the ship, she would see that their talons were painted black. Almost a purple color. Haki!? "Man your stations!" Screamed Haba as she would take her sword from her hip and throw it to Red Rose. The Right Hand of Haba knew instantly what to do with the sword of her leader. Having lost her sword within the flames of her ship, she hadn't been able to produce the flames of justice anymore, but if those fury of ladies wanted to attack them then she would show them justice. Haba would watch as Red Rose made a swing with the sword as she would scream Flying Flame. An arc of fire would shoot from the sword and head towards the bunch of flying women. From the size of it, Haba knew that it wouldn't be enough to take out all of the women. As the flame sped forward faster than her eyes could track, she would see them impact multiple flying women, causing about 5 of them to go plummeting into the river. With Red Rose still holding her blade, Haba would form her left hand into a gun like posture. She wasn't a Marksmen but her Hand Scope was still quite good. The winged women were 20 meters away from the ship which meant that she had to be smart about this if she were to not destroy their only form of transportation.

A flame would appear on the tip of her index finger as she fired a single shot. The shot would veer to the left and cause five of the winged women to bunch together. Upon seeing this, she would fire another shot. However this one would be aimed at the winged lady in the middle. Upon impact with the lady in the middle, the flame bullet would explode creating an explosion of three meters in diameter. The explosion would quickly envelope the five flying furies. And as the explosion disappeared, so did the bodies of the flying women as they had been burned to a crisp. She was the manipulator of the Holy Flames. Flames lasted forever and turned people into dust even if they slightly touched skin. The flame would fall to the water of the river as they would continue to blaze. The boat however would pass harmlessly over them as Haba commanded them to not do any harm. Though there were still more flying ladies left. Which meant they were now on the boat. Haba looked in enjoyment as her fleet members had began to fight them.

"You are rather powerful I see. Maybe you will become the person this island needs?" Said Charon as he would begin small talk with Haba. Looking at the man just as a claw would come towards her, she would place her hand on the claw and smite the winged lady who dared tried to touch her. "What do you mean?" Asked Haba as she had no idea what the man was talking about. "Just remember who you are." Said Charon as he would turn back to face the river. He would continue to control the boat as if nothing was happening and in reality nothing was happening. She had just killed the last of the winged women which meant her and the everyone on bored was safe. "Clean this mess up people. We wouldn't want Charon to throw us off of his boat due to the filth that you have created." Looking at the litter of bodies on the ground. She would come to face the same direction as Charon. "Having killed members of her tribe I am sure Happy will come her for revenge. If I were you I'll begin to prepare." Said Charon as he continued to row the boat.

Haba would only look at him, was he setting them up? And if so why was he being so calm about it? This island gave her the creeps and that was actually quite rare. Turning around, she would say "Rose, keep the sword I fear more fighting will come our way, but lose it and death will be on your plate." Her play with words would cause Rose to visibly shudder as she hugged Michael's sword to her chest. Everyone knew the outcome of Hana's words if Rose was to fail to protect the sword. However as for Haba she would only prepare mentally. She didn't know who this Happy was or how powerful she may be, but if it meant unleashing one of her various forms to fight her then that is what she must do. She would feel her back aching as something was ready to come out. Something evil and demonic that would cause the very earth to shake if she were to ever release it. She had done it once before, but it had led to the destruction of a whole island. Did she dare to do it again?

Spoiler:

It was quite the dilemma. As the group of marines headed down the river on the Ferry of Charon. They sat in silence as they waited on any sign of someone or something coming to attack them. They were as scared as bugs when you move something towards them. However the Admiral wasn't as scared as her fleet members. Hell, she could care less if someone would try to come and attack them. At the moment she was lying on her own bench as her eyes were covered by her eyelids. At the moment she was thinking about awakening new forms of her Devil Fruit. It wasn't long ago that she had eaten the mysterious fruit. If her memory was correct, it was only a week ago. She had easily uncovered most of its abilities, but she still hadn't perfected the use of it. Before she had been a renowned Swordsmen or Swordswomen within the world.

She was known to be the Reaper of the Marines. Able to cut down any opponent that dared to talk against the World Government, but now she was a woman who had just gained newfound abilities that probably made her the strongest Admiral. She was quite sure that she had mastered the Fire aspect of the Devil Fruit. Being able to cast un dying flames upon her opponents and the earth. She had even gained some sort control on the emotions of her enemies. As seen when she persuaded the Rear Admiral to go on a diving contest. The thought of it would cause her to smirk. She didn't know what type of Devil Fruit she had eaten, but it was quite mysterious. It wasn't a Logia that allowed her to transform into a element. She tried turning into Fire but it didn't work. And she was quite sure that she couldn't become the embodiment of emotions. The only two options were Zoan and Paramecia. At the moment she was leaning towards Zoan as she hadn't seen any sort of Paramecia with more than one complex ability.

And if it was indeed a Zoan what type of animal would be able to control emotions and fire? No type that she had never heard of in her life. And she had come across all types of animals. She could conjure angelic wings on her back, but those wings didn't resemble any animal she had seen or heard of before. Her abilities were almost mythic in nature as if they were a gift from the Heavens. However, she didn't believe in Heaven or a God that chose where someone went in the afterlife. Her life was full of misery, pain, and insufferable death. She knew where she would end up in the afterlife. In the fiery pits of Hell. It wasn't a secret that she enjoyed the thought of killing. She was said to be the most cruel of marines and her Admiral status didn't help that title at all.

"I see that you have some things on your mind?" Said the voice of Charon as he tried to start small talk with Haba. At first she would ignore him as she didn't everyone who talked to her, but she would reply with her signature "Yer." Of course a single word wouldn't explain if her answer was a yes or no, but maybe it would send the skeleton man off to some other inquiries. She couldn't have him around her asking questions all of the time. Especially when he kept saying weird things as if to warn her about something. Charon would begin to speak again, annoying her beyond she had ever been before. She liked the skeletal man, so she didn't really want to end him as he was her only sort of transportation. "Charon I really don't want to turn your bones to dust right now. I suggest you just keep rowing your boat."

Her words were fierce, but they will send a hidden threat to the Ferryman. She didn't know what it was about the man, but she felt as if he wasn't like the other measly humans. Almost as if he had been sent here by someone to guide her. Though, she tried to ignore this thought as she didn't really want to think of someone being thrusted into her life to lead her to the correct path. As she continued to the ignore the man as he talked, she could hear something coming from her sky. At first she had ignored it, but then she had remembered that she had already gained enemies on that place. And that meant they were coming for her sooner rather than later. Opening one eye, she would look to see a horde of wings approaching from the heavens. Gradually a lot more than the ten she had encountered only an hour before. Had the whole tribe come this time? If so it would be quite the pleasant fight. Maybe this Queen Charon spoke of would put up a fight.

Opening both of her eyes, she would speak saying "Now, isn't this what you all have been waiting for. I mean surely you don't expect me to go and fight this women. I've already taken care of the previous ones." She would hear gasps of fear as one of the ensigns would say "But Admiral Haba, they have Haki and we don't. They can fly and we can't. You destroyed our weapons along with our ship so how will we fight." There would be a pause of silence as the horde of flying women continued to head their way. It seemed that she truly was to blame if the whole of her fleet would die. Even if it wasn't that many of them. Letting out a sigh, she would remove her hands from under her head and stand up.

"Now I'll handle them, but if they land on the Ferry. I won't help you fight them." As she stared into the sky she would begin to analyze the women. Each of them appeared to be the same except for one of them who was dressed in a green shirt and green hair. The leader was always the oddball out. Reading the green one's shirt she would see that it ready "HAPPY". The name of the lady maybe? Testing her luck she would say "What do I owe the pleasure of encountering the leader of the Flying Women Tribe." There would be a screech of anger as the female winged woman would say "How dare you insult my tribe's name. We are the proud race of Harpies and you will respect our title."

Harpy? She had never heard of that race before. However they sure did have distinctive features that she would remember in the future. Specifically their chicken hands and feet and their wings. Chicken ladies she saw? "I'm sorry, but Harpies is quite a mouthful of a word. Do you mind if I call you Chicken Lady. I mean that is what the literal personification you are. I'm sure you wouldn't be offended." Said Haba as she would run up the wall of the Ferry and jump into the air. Her sheer strength would tear tear the top of the boat off, but it will allow her to jump several meters into the air. She just needed to take out as many of them as she could while she was in the air. "Dammit! My Blade!" She had forgotten she had gave Rose her blade and that meant having to use her Devil Fruit abilities and having just eaten it it meant that it took quite much from her Stamina.

She could use one of her more powerful fire abilities, but that meant ending the battle before it could even start and everyone knew how much that she liked a good fight. Heading for the ring leader of the all, Happy the Harpy which was quite ironic and lame. She would easily come within the vicinity of the woman and attempt to punch her and the gut which would be quite easy seeing as she didn't have any hands or arms to stop her. Or so she thought.....As soon as the punch was coming at average speed. The Harpy's wing arms would go from that to those a human with wings on her back. Scratch that. Her whole appearance had changed to the point where she appeared as if she was an Angel. White, almost silver wings were on her back. Her short height that was previously around five feet had grown to that of seven feet. She had gained human arms and even legs and feet.

She hadn't seen anything of the sort before? The Harpy would catch her arm and grip it with a fist imbued with Armament Haki. Her grip would cause huge amounts of pressure on Haba's hand. "You fool! I am the eater of the Hito Hito no Mi! I have the power to turn into that of a human! You thought you were going to take advantage of my Harpy Form! Well....you thought wrong!"

There would be a loud pop as three of Hana's fingers would pop due to the pressure of the haki fist. Her ring, middle, and index fingers being the three victims. She would scream, but not out of pain as one would expect, but out of fury for being bested in combat. Being separated for a distance of two feet and touching the Harpy, she was deciding what she should do. She could simply ignite her sparks and cause a huge explosion or she could blow a breath of fire into the face of the Harpy. However her thinking had caused her time in the sky to give out, causing her to fall back to the Ferry. With a small plummet to the ground. She would look at the others. Useless humans. She didn't see why they were even allowed within the marines.

Ignoring her thought of distaste, she would think about what to do. She could use her wings, but she was afraid. The Mighty Admiral Haba afraid? Well she didn't want to start flying only to fall into the water where she could be easily killed by the Harpy tribe. No, she had to result to other skills. With her Persuasive voice gifted her by what she presumed was the devil Fruit, she was sure that maybe, just maybe, she could cause it to affect multiple people at a single time. "You all should just leave!" Said Haba as everyone on the ship as well as the Harpies in the sky only looked at her. "I'm sorry, but Haba I don't think talking will make these women leave." Said Charon almost as if he was mocking her.

Another vein would form on her forehead. She was tired of people mocking her. It was as if they thought it was something that they could get away with now. A light would expand from her body making a weird sound. Everyone would appear to be shaken by the light. A look of anger appearing on everyone's faces. Then this time it would happen again, but a deep dark blood red aura would expand from her body. Covering up a distance so large that it seemed to expand forever. The blood red aura was so deep and powerful that it seemed to cause waves in the small river. Everyone would look at Haba as they would begin to look at each other. Then they would look at the Harpies in the sky. Then the harpies in the sky would look at the Marines on the ship. "Haba I'm afraid something terrible is about to happen." Said Charon as he appeared to be unaffected by the veil of red.

However the bloodlust in her mind had taken over. In almost an instant the marines aboard the ship would begin to jump overboard. The Harpies had even begun their quick descent from the sky. First there was only silence then there was screaming. Screaming of pain and anger as blood spewed from the victims that fell to the bloodlust. Haba would only watch in enjoyment as the events had unfolded, but she knew if it continued any longer then her Fleet would be no more. As if on command the blood red energy would disappear from the area and those fueled by it would stop fighting. Looking at the carnage, Haba had realized that she had lost people on her side, but not as many as the Harpies. Maybe her crew had something within them after all.

Counting the casualties from her spot on the ship. She would see that only two of her men had been lost with quite a few injured. However over 30 Harpies had been killed in the process. She would smile as she stared. 20 Harpies left for her to finish off. Maybe leave one? Who knows? Maybe this was the only of their race. Surely she shouldn't wipe a whole race out of existence. The food chain that was at hand would surely go array. Forming her hand into a gun again just as she had done only an hour ago, she would begin to fire. Bullets of flames casted from the heart of the heavens would begin to impact harpies. Causing explosions to go off on whatever they hit. Her crew would be congratulated with fireworks and charred bodies as gore would begin falling into the river. She had killed all of the harpies. Well almost all of them as she had left one unharmed. The Green Harpy, Happy herself"

The Chicken Lady had reverted back to that. That of a Chicken Lady, so it was quite funny to see her expression of pain and sadness as she stared at the ashes fell into the river. With an amused look on her face, Haba would say "Sorry? What's wrong?" Tears would begin to fall down the eyes of the Harpy as she had come upon realization. Not just anyone ran up on an Admiral and expected to win. The rank wasn't one to play with. It was said to be equivalent to that of even the Four Yonko. Her eyes would be full of pure evilness as the Harpy would fly away. Looking at Charon and her crew members, Haba would say "Well that was a pleasant show was it? If only dear old Mum was here to see this spetical."
