[Chapter Size: 1900 Words.]
Third Person POV
Marineford, First Half of Grandline.
...
...
The divided body of Doflamingo fell as Vivi, Nojiko, Bab-5, Crocodile, Baby-5, Vista, and others watched the scene in silence, with Lami landing on the ground a moment later.
"You finally showed up and in a rather unexpected way..." Nojiko murmured.
"Well, I've been wanting to kill this guy for a long time." Lami spoke in a calm tone.
"We have to go help Robin and the others." Vivi came up beside and commented while everyone nodded.
Baby-5 looked at Doflamingo's head for a while and shrugged in the end, she saw all the women heading towards the middle of the square after all the destruction that the Shichibukai's awakening created in this area and followed them shortly after.
"Another Shichibukai has fallen..." This was the phrase that occurred all over the world.
"No... he was killed..." Someone else reminded because unlike Kuma and Moria, this one was eliminated like a dog by a member of the Straw Hats.
The elders were also not happy about this at all, after all, Doflamingo was one of them, and they were almost roaring from the castle of power.
But the place most affected in the world by this was Dressrosa itself, people watched the screen of the ongoing war paralyzed.
"Hey hey... Doflamingo has fallen..." A citizen asked.
"The boss is dead...?" A member of the shock organization was wondering if what he was seeing was real.
"Doflamingo... Died!" Dellinger exclaimed.
"This can't be happening?! Joker is dead?!" Trebol couldn't believe what he was seeing.
"This is not possible!!!" Pica exclaimed in his characteristic high-pitched voice.
"He is really dead...?" Princess Viola looked at it speechlessly from a distance. "This really happened... what will happen to this country now?!" She also couldn't help but feel skeptical and worried at the same time.
She quickly left there and went straight to find her niece, after all, she didn't know what could happen to this country now that Doflamingo was dead.
Meanwhile, the news of another Shichibukai's fall soon spread everywhere. Sengoku stopped punching Luffy at that moment and looked frustratedly in that direction.
"First Kong defeated and now Doflamingo, can this get any worse?!" He growled, and the next moment, he looked up with a huge shadow emerging from all that destruction.
"He is coming!" Garp commented, and both Garp and Sengoku jumped before that part of the ground was destroyed with a huge body breaking the ground.
Luffy emerged from the destruction a while later, looking a little surprised with Whitebeard appearing there to fight him, he stood beside the man.
"You seem to be having trouble, Kid." Whitebeard said.
"I'm a little tired, really, but I can keep doing this all day." Luffy gave a bloody smile, but looking tough.
"You are just a brat, don't get cocky." Whitebeard commented, and the next moment, Garp and Sengoku charged at the two while Luffy charged at Garp, Sengoku was attacked by Whitebeard.
As the four impacts destroyed even more of that place, raising all the dust in Marineford again.
"What should we do?" The men fighting Whitebeard before were lost, they could only watch the fight from a distance without being able to get involved without getting hit. There were still the Straw Hat pirates who had now gotten rid of the vice-admirals and were now using their giant forms to attack the marines. The admirals were busy, while Yamato appeared beside Kizaru fighting Enel and quickly received a blow from her, sending him down. Kuzan was dealing with a great force attacking him, and Akainu had disappeared.
Hugo and Kuina also appeared on the battlefield, entering their beast forms, beginning to devastate the whole place, Whitebeard's pirates were also running out of opponents, starting to attack the navy from all sides.
The marines were all lost, their will to raise their weapons was at the lowest point of the war, and they could only try to survive. Ace was running with Robin and Lucy, passing through the legs of his crew's giants, heading back to the destroyed bay.
"Come on, Ace!!" The pirates exclaimed, starting to follow him.
"Guys..." Ace murmured as they continued on their way.
"Let's get back to the sea together!" Some captains joined the run amid all the explosions.
"It looks like they're getting out... do you want to help them?" Luffy commented, looking at Ace and Lucy.
"I think you're right..." Whitebeard said and raised his hand, they had just attacked the two marine elders while everyone flew to opposite sides and Whitebeard made his move, exploding the air in the next moment.
The place suddenly started to shake, as giant cracks began to appear all over the area.
"What is this? What is Whitebeard doing?!" The marines saw a huge gap appear between the pirates who were getting farther away and the marines chasing them.
"Father?!" The pirates were surprised with only Whitebeard and Luffy fighting on the other side of the divide, while they remained with some marines, but all the pirates were on this side.
"Listen everyone! Everyone, go back to the Moby Dick and your ships!!!" He exclaimed, and despite the surprise, everyone understood the order.
"The pacifists!!!" Some marines pointed out as there was a group of them that were attacking the entire time from the rear while only a few captains continued to fight against them.
Suddenly, one of them was taken off the ground with a bite from Chouchou among his three heads, and he bit him so hard that he turned into scrap metal in the next moment. Nami grabbed two with her claws, destroying them, Hachi simply cut them with his swords, Shirahoshi easily pierced them with haki while they exploded, Bepo managed to launch his six-style techniques at that height, Hugo crushed them just by stepping on them, Kuina exploded them with huge ice spikes, easily destroying them. Nojiko, Vivi, Baby-5, Chopper, Jinbei, Crocodile, and Ivankov also went to help them. The commanders, now free from their battles, also began to destroy everyone along with the Straw Hats.
Usopp and Lami hadn't made any move yet, just watching the battle from above. Since Kuzan and Kizaru were at a disadvantage in their fights.
"Father... Luffy..." Ace commented, looking to the other side.
"Come on, Ace!! We must return to the sea, Luffy will take care of everything!" Lucy exclaimed, and despite the frustration with Luffy having to take care of him, after all, he was the older brother, this role should be his.
"Yes..." Ace said in the end as he continued running, but as soon as they took the first step, they felt something coming towards them, and the ground turned red at that moment, with an explosion of lava hitting the three in the next moment.
"ACEEEEEE!!!!!!" Everyone who saw that shouted in concern.
That place became a lake of lava, while the admiral, still hurt from the fight with Luffy, appeared from the middle of the lava, his frustrated look gazing upwards.
After all, he was in a bluish field, with Lucy, Robin, and Ace appearing in another place after being teleported by Lami, who quickly acted as soon as she sensed the admiral coming with her haki.
Akainu had planned to catch Ace from behind on purpose and even provoke him if it didn't work, but it seemed his plan failed as he looked frustrated at Ace getting away.
"You get out of here." Lami shouted to the three, who nodded and started to run away.
In the next moment, Akainu looked up, before a rain of light rays, Usopp also made his move, despite looking a little scared, he needed to do his part against an admiral, while Akainu returned to his normal body after getting a bunch of holes.
Lami and Usopp appeared in front of him at that moment, blocking the admiral's path, while the pirates resumed fleeing.
"Looks like everything is okay... soon they'll be out of this place..." Luffy commented calmly.
"..." Whitebeard, despite being satisfied with this, remained silent as he looked at a corner of Marineford.
"You finally noticed them... they've been there for a while..." Luffy commented calmly as a giant appeared behind the platform.
"What is that?!" The marines also noticed.
"Teach..." Whitebeard murmured in a somber tone as Teach appeared on the execution platform with a group of soldiers.
But he did not have the expression Luffy remembered from the anime, as his face seemed cautious and frustrated. Teach came to the war expecting to find Whitebeard in a near-death state or even dead, but he didn't count on how easily the Marines were losing to their enemies. Despite Whitebeard being injured, Luffy was by his side, which greatly complicated his plans after the fight they had in Impel Down.
"Teach..." The members of Whitebeard's crew looked at him stunned, gritting their teeth in anger at this man appearing here.
"The Marines look so bad... to think these guys would cause so much damage..." Shiryu said as he saw the fallen Shichibukais, except for Hancock and Mihawk fighting at a distance with Zoro, neither of them stopping their duel of swords, which seemed like it would take days to be decided.
"Captain... what should we do...?" Burgess asked, a little lost with the dire situation.
"We should... Hm?!" Before Teach could answer, the platform suddenly exploded, catching them by surprise. It was Whitebeard who did this, pressing his fist in the air.
"You want to deal with them? Go ahead, I'll handle these two for a while." Luffy said as Whitebeard nodded seriously. He intended to help Monkey D. Luffy, but Teach was a matter he had to handle personally.
Whitebeard jumped, leaving Garp and Sengoku just watching, also frustrated with Marshall D. Teach after everything he did.
"Well... looks like it's us again..." Luffy smiled at the two as Whitebeard jumped near the destroyed platform, while Teach began to get up with his group, looking at Whitebeard facing them.
Luffy was about to resume fighting the two when he stopped and looked at the sky, stunned. "What is that?!" He felt a bit shaken by it.
Garp was also surprised, while the golden Buddha looked with wide eyes in that direction. "What is he doing here?!" His voice was filled with nervousness.
"Who is that?!" Whitebeard turned, even leaving his attention on Teach as he felt a very powerful being coming to Marineford.
The pirates continued running to the broken wall, while the pacifists were all defeated by those who fought them easily, and Sentomaru was lying unconscious on the ground.
"They are fleeing..." said a marine with a look of defeat.
"What else can we do... look at the size of that hole..." another murmured.
"We're almost there!!" In contrast to the marines, the pirates were finally seeing their escape.
"Let's go!!" Lucy shouted hopefully.
But then the other Haki users quickly turned their gazes to the sky, all feeling danger approaching.
"Who is it?!" For the first time, Zoro and Mihawk stopped fighting to look at it.
Suddenly, a meteor fell at high speed towards the front of the marine wall, colliding with the ground and exploding the area.
"What is that?!" The pirates exclaimed, all stunned, as a shadow emerged and an old man appeared, an elder finally showing himself to the world for the first time in this era.
