[Chapter Size: 1800 Words.]
Third Person POV
Marineford, First Half of Grandline.
...
...
Whitebeard spat blood as Squard drove his sword into his chest. "Pops!!!" Marco exclaimed next to Luffy, immediately moving toward Whitebeard.
Marco, Jozu, Vista, Blenheim, Rakuyo, Namur, Blamenco, Curiel, Kingdew, Haruta, Atmos, Speed Jiru, Fossa, Izo, and the rest of Whitebeard's crew members exclaimed at the same time.
"A betrayal?!" Nojiko asked.
"He hurt Mr. Whitebeard!" Shirahoshi murmured as the rest of Marineford looked on confused, not understanding why Whitebeard was being struck like this.
"It seems your plan worked..." Sengoku nodded, satisfied with the admiral's action in trying to undermine the enemy allies.
"Akainu managed to convince a puppet." Luffy commented, looking at the scene, talking to his companions. "Anyway, things are going to start shaking up here, so let's keep moving." Luffy gave the order and they began to walk amidst everyone frozen, after all, he knew Whitebeard would handle it.
"Nojiko and Vivi, deal with Doflamingo," Luffy said. "Jimbei and Alvida, you can easily defeat Moria... lastly, Chopper, help Usopp!" Luffy ordered, and everyone nodded.
"The rest handle the marine officers who try to stop our way." He spoke, and immediately a group of Geppo users kicked the air, summoning _______ for them, and Hachi was quick to launch his swords with it, he launched the same attack he had learned to do with swords, and dozens of them collided with those of the commodores.
Luffy didn't even need to stop as he continued on the path, even the commodores were surprised after their attacks were nullified, with Nami emerging and striking them as they fell to the ground defeated.
"Chouchou, I want you to help Nami," Luffy said, and his dog barked confirming while running to Nami's feet.
"Robin. Stay alert, I need you to use your power on Ace as soon as we get the key, understand?" He spoke, while the woman continued to accompany him along with the others.
They were already approaching the square when Doflamingo decided to attack the group, but Baby-5 began shooting at the Shichibukai.
"Tsk." Doflamingo started dodging and looked with a furrowed brow at the woman who did not return to Dressrosa, which frustrated him.
"Are you really going to betray me, Baby-5?!" Doflamingo exclaimed.
Baby-5, smoking a cigar while her hands were guns, "I don't see him as my master, after all, my new master is much cooler!" Baby-5 spoke and pointed one of her guns at Luffy's head. "NOW DIE!!!" She exclaimed, firing a shot, and Luffy exploded while people who didn't know about it were shocked by Luffy exploding.
"She attacked him!!??" Lucy shouted with a grimace.
"This is common..." Robin commented at the side.
"Hm?! This is interesting..." Luffy's voice emerged from the smoke as he was enjoying it well, but looking ahead as if he had something fixed, it was the system, while he received a message from it, that Baby-5 was officially a schemer of the crew.
"This is very good." Luffy commented, and Doflamingo felt someone coming at him at full speed after an explosion.
Nojiko appeared in front of him at high speed after blasting the ground below her, and she swapped places with Doflamingo putting her only arm in front of her. While he felt an explosion coming the next moment and he immediately flew backwards, cracking the ice below him, alongside Nojiko Vivi reappeared invoking hurricanes, blowing up even more the ground where Doflamingo arrived.
Usopp started a fight with Kuma nearby, as explosions echoed across the battlefield, the Straw Hat's sniper continued dodging paw-pad attacks while striking with rays of light shots, while flapping his wings and Kuma moved at high speed disappearing and reappearing in that field being blasted with Usopp's attacks.
Chopper transformed into a reindeer leaving Luffy's group while running to help his friend, and as soon as he got close, his form began to change, growing and growing, while forming another shadow on the battlefield.
"What is this?! Another monster has emerged!!" the marines pointed to a 20-meter-tall Chopper, walking into the battle of Usopp as his hooves destroyed the ground.
On the other side of the battlefield, something similar was happening as Chouchou reappeared next to Nami, in his final beastly form of Cerberus, launching attacks as they destroyed the battlefield with various elements.
Kizaru finally reappeared, his face slightly bloodied, launching an attack on Nami and Chouchou, who had to shield themselves while being hit and thrown backward.
"This guy, always troublesome..." Luffy commented, looking at Kizaru in the air.
Kizaru noticed a presence arriving from the other side as Vista leaped into the air trying to cut him, Kizaru appeared at a distance after dodging the swords. Meanwhile, Garuda and Cerberus reappeared slightly burned but clearly alright.
Luffy mentally thanked Vista for showing up and noticed Kuzan still fighting Jozu, who was transforming his body into diamond. "Let's go, we're almost reaching the square..." Luffy said as the Shichibukais were already surrounding him, fighting some crew members, and the wall of the square was close to them.
"Mugiwara!!!" Moria appeared as he was surrounded by zombies, but a water explosion occurred with Jimbei attacking him, the zombies soon lost their shadows as Moria was surprised by this. But someone slid on the ice suddenly and Moria took a hit with Alvida's mace, coated in a thin layer of armament haki, and he was sent flying away.
"Monkey D. Luffy is approaching the square's wall!!" The marines were frightened while the pirates raised their weapons.
"That's it, Ace's brother! Storm the square!!" They exclaimed as Luffy led the charge at that moment with the Shichibukais occupied, except for one.
"Look!! Someone is in the pirates' path!!!" A marine pointed as there was a woman standing in the middle of the way.
"Yes, the pirate empress!!! Boa Hancock, she can stop Luffy!! After all, no man can resist her charms!!" This made everyone immediately agree that Luffy would now be defeated.
"Go, Boa Hancock!!! Defeat the pirates!!" The marines began to shout, while the pirates frowned now. After all, who could deal with this woman.
"Straw Hat!!" Luffy, who was walking toward Hancock, heard a voice he hadn't heard in months and looked toward Coby, stopping a few meters away while even with a clearly fearful face, he still had determined eyes.
"Coby... it's been a while since I've seen you..." Luffy commented, but he had no time to lose. "I can see your determination, but sorry, I can't deal with you right now... Can someone take care of him?" Luffy asked the people who continued following him, and Lucy stepped forward.
"I'll fight him!" Lucy declared with determination, while Coby frowned at Garp's granddaughter. "Lucy..." He murmured, looking at the girl who was still wearing the marine uniform, but was no longer fighting for them.
"I will be your opponent, Coby..." Lucy said, though a bit sad to face her old companions as enemies, she was still determined to save Ace for that reason.
Meanwhile, Luffy continued his path to Hancock calmly, while everyone looked at them a bit surprised, after all, Luffy got so close that he was just a few inches from Hancock, while she let him approach.
"He's going to turn into stone, isn't he?" the marines exclaimed.
"They are acting strange," Sengoku commented, watching their calm approach.
"This...!!!" Garp, who was still upset by what was happening after shifting his gaze from Lucy and Coby to see Luffy and Hancock looking at each other, noticed something strange for the first time, as he could now feel with his haki that she was pregnant and how Luffy was staring at her... it made sense, and now he understood who was the mother of his great-grandchildren, he felt happy internally, but stayed silent about it, trying not to show any emotion.
Meanwhile, between Luffy and Hancock, someone made the first move and it was the woman, who suddenly jumped like a woman in love at Luffy and kissed him right there.
"WHAT?!" A collective scream erupted on the battlefield among both marines and pirates, unable to believe what they were seeing.
"He grabbed her and kissed her?!" They exclaimed in disbelief that it was Hancock who took the initiative for that.
"He really is unbeatable!!" Someone shouted.
"Even the most beautiful woman in the world can do nothing against Monkey D. Luffy, how can we in the navy stand against him?!" A marine spoke, disheartened.
Meanwhile, Hancock parted her lips from Luffy's, who smiled close to her face. "My love," Hancock commented.
"It's good to see you well," he responded, touching her waist.
"Can we be together now?" she asked, as he shook his head.
"We can't be seen together yet, my wife. So wait a little longer," Luffy said, knowing that this relationship between them could be dangerous.
"Alright, I will wait a bit more, but know that this empress might die of love soon!" she commented, and Luffy smiled.
Hancock didn't stop there, as she pulled a key from her bosom, and Luffy raised an eyebrow at this. "I got the key to your brother's chains... so keep it," she requested, and Luffy nodded, now Luffy just had to remove Sengoku and Garp from the platform and throw the key there, Robin would do the rest.
"That's great," Luffy said as he kissed Hancock while the people around wondered how he could do such a thing with the untouchable empress.
However, they couldn't ponder for long, because suddenly everything shook as the stability of the place began to change. Luffy held Hancock close and looked back at his companions, while Whitebeard now wielded the full power of his Gura Gura no Mi, causing Marineford and the sea to destabilize with his fruit.
Hugo fighting against the Tenryuubito was a bit destabilized, while Chopper and Chouchou, unable to fly, had to opt for Geppo; Nami flew with her wings, many battles continued even in a hostile environment, still internally shocked by the power of the world's strongest man.
"Even if the world is being destroyed... I feel so safe in your arms..." Hancock commented, one of those lines that even made Luffy cringe, but that was just the way she was.
"Hey... this is dangerous!!" Hachi anchored his swords into the ground to hold himself steady, while Robin used her fruit to secure herself, and Bepo simply used Geppo, and Baby-5 created a claw.
"Lord Whitebeard-Sama is furious..." Shirahoshi spoke up, and Luffy had almost forgotten her, with her face blushing after witnessing all the scenes with Luffy and Hancock so closely.
