Chapter 330 – War 24.
[Chapter Size: 1900 Words.]
Third Person POV
Marineford, First Half of Grandline.
...
...
The sound of chains falling onto the platform stood out amid all that chaos as everyone present looked towards it, the hands Robin had created disappearing.
Ace suddenly felt free, staring ahead in disbelief that he had finally lost his bindings. "I'm free..." he murmured as he finally removed his arms from behind his back, looking at his hand.
"ACEEEEE!!!!!!" He heard Lucy shouting from below the platform.
"Lucy..." He murmured as he finally seemed to understand what was happening there; he was finally free.
BOOOOOOOOOOOMNMMMMMMM!!! Explosions occurred shortly after, while Luffy continued to fight Garp and Sengoku also got involved nearby.
"What are you doing, get your band out of there and let's return to the sea!!" Luffy's voice echoed through Marineford with Ace looking at his brother.
"Yes...!" He commented as flames began to emerge, finally showing the whole of Marineford and the world that he was free.
As all the forces of the Navy and the World Government gritted their teeth, all the pirates and their allies opened their eyes to see Ace stand up before raising his fist upwards with flames and creating the Whitebeard flag in forms of red flames atop Marine Ford, as he exploded for all to see.
A silence lasted only a second before everyone opened their mouth.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" The sound was heard throughout the square as all the pirates in unity made their collective cry, overshadowing all sounds of Marineford, making the place tremble, while the pirates of Whitebeard exclaimed in a joint union of emotion and joy, for finally the one they were here fighting and losing their brothers for was free, was finally free, their goal after all the sacrifice, was finally achieved.
"We did it, Ace is free!"
"We showed the Navy what happens when they try to execute one of our brothers."
"Now we can return to the New World, let's go folks!"
"We did it, Ace is free!"
Exclamations echoed throughout the place as everyone celebrated and the sailors looked on in a state of defeat as the flames consumed the place until they disappeared.
"Looks like that kid is finally loose," Whitebeard murmured with a smile, while Kizaru still had his mouth open and forehead furrowed next to him.
"Coby!!! This is bad!!!" Helmeppo shouted with his hand on his head at a distance.
Coby looked dazed at this. He had just woken up after being knocked out by Lucy, and as soon as he saw the battle he was shocked. "You really did it Luffy..." He murmured, despite seeing many comrades dying in this war, he couldn't not say that this was amazing.
"Boss Buggy!! They did it..." A prisoner murmured.
"They really managed to rescue Ace from the fist of fire..." Another murmured equally surprised.
Everyone in the group looked at it dazed a little near the entrance of the square while filming the flames in the sky.
"They did it..." Buggy commented in front of the group as he turned the camera to the whole event.
"He did it..." Someone murmured at that moment in Sabaody...
"This is amazing... the Navy is going to lose all the face it had after this war..." Another commented.
"Those damn pirates... how can they win..." Another citizen spoke, clearly on the side of the navy.
The whole world was watching this shocking scene where Ace of the fire fists gained his freedom while the pirates maintained morale, the navy and the people who believed in it had the opposite effect.
"ACEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!" Dadan exclaimed from the Goa square next to the ring as she screamed crying. "He's safe... Ace managed to get free!!! Thank goodness!!!" She continued exclaiming.
"..." Woop Slap didn't shout like her, but smiled satisfied with the direction of the war, though he didn't want to show his satisfaction publicly.
The same could not be said of the queen. "Luffy and his friends did it!! This is so good!!" She exclaimed joyfully while clapping and her ministers tried to get her not to show so much favor openly.
The whole world was watching this scene, while they discussed whether it was good or bad, while in the war, the one who was the center of attention at that moment, looked at the battlefield.
Ace smiled while enveloped in flames around his body and placing his hand on his hat, he finally jumped from the platform, landing at her feet the next moment, while smiling and looking at all of Marine Ford.
"ACEEEE!!" Lucy exclaimed as she jumped into a hug with him.
"It's good to see you too, Lucy!" he spoke, affectionately touching his sister while looking at the marines around them, with some still being held by the captains of Whitebeard's fleet and the Straw Hats.
"We should get out of here now," he said as Luffy nodded and Robin was also ready to start leaving.
He quickly prepared his flames and launched them at the nearby marines who were raising their weapons against Ace, as they exploded and flew away the next moment.
"Come on, the path is clear!" the pirate captains exclaimed as they cleared the way for him, Tsuru had been buried in the ground after so many captains fought against her.
The giant Straw Hats also quickly threw some defeated vice admirals to the ground. Nami, Bebo, and Shirahoshi managed to defeat their opponents, while Chouchou and Hachi still had some difficulty.
"Let's go!" Robin commented as they began to run through the space opened by their comrades.
"This isn't going to happen!!!" Sengoku exclaimed as Luffy exchanged blows with Garp, but he quickly moved to stand in front of the fleet admiral, even taking a hit, he wouldn't let Ace be stopped, as his body exploded against the ground, but successfully preventing Sengoku from advancing against Ace.
Kong was also having a very bad situation, starting to lose the battle a while ago and even in his most powerful form, he couldn't deal with all those pirates.
"What?!" He felt a blade enter him, with Lami using her awakening, as the other Straw Hats found an opening in his defense.
He barely had time to react as an internal shock was made by Lami at that moment and he felt immense pain. "AHHHHH!!!" He couldn't help but exclaim as the sword grew towards the still frozen bay.
Enel, Hugo, Yamato, and Kuina didn't stand still as they launched their attacks downward as well, as he hit the ground exploding, all the other attacks immediately exploded at the same point, making the whole bay crack and even the ships there from Whitebeard begin to be dragged with the force of the elements and even the bodies of the defeated Tenryuubitos flying.
"That mortal is defeated," Enel said feeling his unconscious body with Haki.
"Luffy managed to save Ace, we should help him now!" Yamato commented as everyone nodded and immediately went to the square with Enel advancing faster.
"That damn guy is planning something..." Luffy was holding Garp and Sengoku while still learning to control his king's haki more, but he was looking over the battlefield searching for Akainu who had yet to appear, keeping hidden somewhere.
"Garp..." Sengoku was frustrated and looked grimly at his partner fighting against his grandson together.
"Yes... this kid... he's getting stronger and stronger..." Garp murmured with surprise and dazed eyes at a battered Luffy in front of him, his arm broken and his face all bloody, but he had that damn healing that always brought him back to the battle a moment later.
Luffy was taking advantage of all this as much as he could to gain as many benefits as possible before leaving. Even while holding against those two and learning, he could already feel his body beginning to reach its limit, after all, he has been fighting since Impel Down and abusing his haki, while taking hits and using healing, something that consumed his great stamina.
He had to engage in combat again as Garp and Sengoku advanced against him. Meanwhile, Whitebeard still stood in front of Kizaru, but he saw that at that moment, Whitebeard felt a twinge in his heart, after all, he was already quite wounded and his body was no longer young.
Kizaru took advantage and transformed into light while disappearing from there, heading towards Ace, Robin, and Lucy.
"You won't get very far..." he spoke and crossed his arms.
But at that moment a light surged behind him with a bang and he had to transform into light before moving out of the way of Enel's punch with haki.
"That was dangerous!!" Kizaru spoke and advanced against Enel, who used his lightning to fight against the light logia, so thunder and light clashed against each other in the sky, although Enel was losing a bit in this fight, but he still held firm.
Another admiral who was having a tough time was Kuzan, as he felt the pressure from Reiju, Marco, and some other pirates fighting against him.
Explosions started to appear at that moment in the square, with Kuma defeated and fallen, Usopp and the others went to help deal with Doflamingo causing chaos with his awakening, as the whole place turned into strings.
Even with his awakening, he was losing the fight against so many opponents, until he noticed the space turned bluish, "Long time no see, Doflamingo..." Lami's voice emerged behind him, and before he could react, everyone there saw Lami's sword pierce his heart with her awakening as she immediately launched her internal shock.
"AHHHHH!!!!!" Doflamingo screamed in pain as he began to lose consciousness with that attack.
"She finished him off so quickly?!" Vista murmured in surprise as he saw the ground return to normal and Doflamingo falling to the ground.
"It's time to end this..." Lami spoke and quickly advanced to cut Doflamingo's head off once and for all, and finally execute her revenge after years.
'Corazon... I will finally avenge you...' Lami had some flashbacks of her past life, the death of her little brother, of her parents... Doflamingo would just be the first, because her revenge now extended to the government that wiped out her entire city.
She moved seeing her blade getting ever closer to the neck and everyone there really was surprised by it, The blade began to touch the skin, as it started to make the cut, with blood beginning to accumulate on the sides, she began to bury the blade even deeper, cutting through Doflamingo's entire neck as he had his head there removed, in front of all the people of the world.
"I said I would kill you one day..." Lami said as she saw Doflamingo there, in two lifeless parts suspended in the air as he fell.
Everyone who kept their gaze on Lami was in shock at that moment, no one imagined that the life of that Shichibukai would end in that way. Doflamingo was the third Tenryuubito who had died in this war since it began.

I tried to keep Doflamingo alive, but there was no way he could hold out until the end of this war.
