one piece world building

Over a great century of peace and tranquillity, great catastrophe was steadily brewing. Leaving the Afghan war after the bloody massacre, seven officers of the then Afghan government turn rogue. They move to South Africa where they operated the largest underground shadow government the world had ever seen. Several years of activity with lots of experience meant that not all who wished the downfall of this gang could get their hands on whatever they wanted. Out of the blues come Fiona and her group called the Pacesetters, who clear the deeply rooted organisation from it roots. Determined never to give up, the Alpha Lords turn their attention to the one area of crime where the criminals always gain the upper hand - tech crime. Their new methods and determination baffle even the most talented intellects and force governments all over the world to prepare their minds and heart for a complete overthrow, and to disobedient citizens, the most feared consequences. Gradually, these men do not accept that man should still exist, but that humans evolve to the next stage of existence - programmable code. Would they prevail, or would the witty and most determined forces of light conquer the powers of darkness?

A warm blush bloomed across Cole's cheeks as she became acutely aware of their intimate position. But Vincent, with his steady composure, seemed entirely unbothered, simply relaxing into the bed’s softness. "Get some sleep," he murmured, his voice a soothing rumble that resonated in her chest. Sensing her gaze, he added, "The power will be back on once the damage is repaired. So… just stay close to me until then." Cole took a deep breath, willing her racing heart to calm.
