Chapter 1
The War Begins
AN: I DON'T OWN ONE PIECE
Alright this has idea has been bugging me for a while now. In this story Whitebeard never ate the Gura Gura no Mi, but instead is just really good with his haki. Luffy will be really overpowered of course now that he has the power to destroy the world. Also this will pick up starting at the War with Marineford. Everything up till this point is pretty much canon except Luffy is more serious and deadly. If you don't like don't read, but do not flame. So without further ado here's the first chapter Emperor Luffy.
((((( Marineford )))))
The Marines were waiting for the convoy that was carrying Ace to arrive. On the island the citizens were being evacuated for the upcoming war. All around the world, people are watching the Navy transponder snails. Everyone at Marineford could just feel the tension building. After the citizens had been loaded up on the ships and left, the ships with Ace arrived. Suddenly a voice came on over the intercom.
"To all soldiers! Report to the gulf! Get ready for the public execution of Portgaz D. Ace! I repeat! All soldiers, report to the gulf!"
Once the ships docked, Ace was escorted in and placed in a cell until it was time for his execution. At noon they got him ready by cuffing his hands.
"Stand up." said one of the two executioners that were going to be escorting him.
After walking for about two minutes, they came to a large set of doors guarded by two Marines that opened it. Once they opened it, an extremly large staircase was revealed.
"Climb." and with that they began to ascend.
((((( South Blue )))))
"It's in 3 hours now! I wonder if Whitebeard has arrived yet."
"I don't know. Do you think he's really gonna be there? He's a big deal but isn't he too old?"
"You think so?"
"He was around before the Great Pirate Era. He must be senile by now."
"We haven't heard his name in any big news for years."
"How can you guys take this so lightly? Because he's unignorable, the Navy HQ has called up its elites and is expecting him with all their forces. I'm almost certain that Whitebeard is going to appear." said an old woman.
"And then what's gonna happen?"
"I don't know. How am I supposed to know?"
((((( East Blue )))))
"He's a pirate of a different era. Is it possible for him to beat the Navy HQ?"
"It's not possible for any pirate to attack Marineford."
"That's not true. I think it was 20 years ago, a pirate called Shiki the Golden Lion invaded Mrineford and left the Navy HQ half destroyed. This time it's going to be worse. No matter who wins, a lot of people will die. It'd be better if he didn't appear. If nothing besides the execution happens, that'd be for the best."
((((( North Blue )))))
On a snow island, some guys were trying to get into a bar.
"Hey, we want drinks, old man!"
"Are you asking me to open the bar on a day like this? We're expecting a big war in any minute! Go home! If the world's still here tomorrow, I'll open it!"
"Then just sell us some drinks! It feels like we're the ones who're on the scaffold!"
"We can't do without drinking!"
((((( West Blue )))))
Inside a bar.
"He's not just another old man. He hasn't lost at all! It was just a year ago, when we saw him sitting right there... we thought we were dead."
((((( Grand Line )))))
"Is Whitebeard that outrageous? Even those kids know it. They're singing as they jump rope."
Over with the kids jumping rope.
"The pirate Whitebeared is scarier than a devil!"
Up on a cliff a woman was on her knees.
"Oh, God! Where is this world headed?"
((((( Sabaody Archipelago )))))
At Sabaody Archipelago at the evacutaion site, residents are watching the proceedings of the execution on monitors. Reporters and Cameramen from various places are standing by here to break the news quickly to the world.
"That's really the best of Navy HQ."
"I assume that Whitebeard knows about this. But still, will he venture to be there?"
Every look-out ship that the Navy sent has been swiftly sunk and there has been no report of a sighting of Whitebeard. So tension at Marineford continues to rise. And there is less than 3 hours left until the looming execution.
((((( Marineford )))))
We find Garp sitting across from Sengoku. Whatever had been said upset Garp as he slammed his fist on the desk spilling a cup of tea.
"I have a problem with that. Is that really necessary?" asked Garp.
"This public execution is not just an execution of a pirate. It has great significance for the future of the world. That's why it's necessary to..." Garp started to walk away but Sengoku continued. "You are responsible for this matter since you are one of the parties involved. Don't forget that, Garp."
Garp stopped for a moment before he slod open the door and left.
Out on the ships surrounding Marineford, they were making their last preperations. Over on the island itself, Marines were waiting at their battle stations. Elite soldiers are summoned from all over the world totaling almost one hundred thousand. The crescent-shaped bay area and the whole island are surrounded by 50 Navy ships and numerous cannons have been set at the bay area. And in front of all the marshaled forces that can be seen from sea... stand 5 ruffians who hold the key to the war. Pirates- The Shichibukai! Bartholomew Kuma, Gecko Moria, Don Quixote Doflamingo, Dracule Mihawk, and Boa hancock.
Guarding closely below the scaffold are the Navy's greatest powers... the three Admirals! Navy Admiral Aokiji Kuzan, Navy Admiral Akainu Sakazuki, Navy Admiral Kizaru Borsalino.
Every force of justice imaginable is now waiting for the Whitebeard Pirates to stop them from rescuing Ace!
Back with Ace
As they neared the doors leading to the scaffolding, he had a flashback to when he and Luffy were kids.
((((( Quick Flashback )))))
"Listen, Luffy. We have to live without leaving any regrets."
"Uh-huh."
"We gotta go out to sea someday and live as we like. Freer than anyone else."
((((( End Flashback )))))
With that they reached the doors annd walked outside. After making it to the scaffolding he was cuffed to it.
"This is the man... who may trigger a war that will shake the world!"
"And he is the one who holds the fate of the world now!"
Garp and Sengoku arrived beneath the scaffolding.
"Okay, Garp? I'll tell them everything!"
"So be it. I'll be downstairs."
With that Sengoku made his was onto the execution platform.
"Step aside for a minute." he said to the two executioners.
"Yes, sir!"
down below
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku!"
"What's going on?"
back with Sengoku
"Give me a Transponder Snail."
"Yes, sir."
with the transponder snail in hand he moved to stand next to Ace.
"I have something to tell you all. Portgaz D. Ace... It's about the great significance of his death today. Ace, tell them the name of your father." he spoke through the transponder snail for all to here.
"My father is Whitebeard."
"No!"
"Yes, he is! Whitebeard is my only father!"
"We looked for you with our eyes wide open at that time. Because we heard that there might be a child of that man on some island. Based on a small amount of reliable information from Cipher Pol, we checked all newborns... and preborn children... and their mothers but we couldn't find you. No wonder. Your mother risked her life to bear you. She used a trick that can be called mother's pride. That has misled us... Indeed, the whole world. There is an island called Batelira in South Blue. Your mother's name is Portgaz D. Rouge. She did something that completely defied the natural law... for the love of her child. She kept her baby inside her womb for 20 months!"
By this point Ace was pale and sweating bullets.
"No way."
"And as soon as she gave birth to you, she lost all of her strength and passed away right there. A year and 3 months after the father's death, the child was born with the blood of the world's most heinous man in his veins. That was you! You know it, surely? Your father is... the King of the Pirates- Gold Roger!"
Silence
((((( Sabaody Archipelago )))))
"Your father is... the King of the Pirates- Gold Roger!"
"'Fire Fist' Ace is a son of Gold Roger?"
"This is huge news. Call the head office! Let's issue an extra!"
Most of the reporters took off to make the report.
"Does it continue? Still? The bloodline of the King of the Pirates?"
"I can't believe that the arch villain had a kid!"
"The legend of Gold Roger continues!"
"I'm so relieved that they got him! If he's a son of the King of the Pirates, he must be atrocious!"
"If I'd caught him and put him up for auction, I would have made a fortune!" said a guard from the auction house.
"This execution is turning into quite a show!" said a rich asshole.
"So the strength of "Fire Fist" is in his blood."
"Then, he has the One Piece, too?"
"'Fire Fist' is as food as dead anyway. He will be wiped off the face of the earth soon."
((((( Marineford )))))
"He is not the biological brother of Luffy, then?" Hancock asked herself.
"Roger's..." "...Son?"
"His biological son alive! This must be a miracle! All people connected to Roger should have been executed at that time!" said Moria.
"Since his brother is Luffy-san, I thought his father was Dragon, too!" said Coby to Helmeppo.
"I tought so, too! What's the deal here? They're not biological brothers?" asked Helmeppo.
"It was 2 years ago. You took over your mother's name and rose up in the world of the sea... as the captain of the Spade Pirates with your exquisite speed and power. And that's when we noticed... that Roger's bllod still flowed! But Whitebeared also noticed that at the same time. And to make you the next King of the Pirates, he let the son of his old rival onto his ship." said Sengoku.
"No! I got on the ship to make my dad the next King!"
"No one believes that except you. In fact, it made it harder for us to catch you. You were protected by Whitebeared. If we let you go free, we know you'll use your abilities to become the next King. That's why it means a great deal to execute you here today. Even if it means risking an all-out war with Whitebeared!"
This received a thunderous cheer from the Marines.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku! I have a report! The Gate of Justice is opening without any order. And we can't make contact with the control room!"
"What?"
It's quiet." said Hancock as everyone was watching the sea.
"But it's almost unnatural." said Doflamingo.
After about a minute the alarm sounded.
"There they come!" shouted the look out.
"Everyone, battle stations!"
"They appeared so suddenly! Where did they get in?" said Sengoku as he saw the ships.
"It's a vast fleet of pirate ships!"
"Where's Whitebeard? Look for him!"
"43 ships in total! We can't find Whitebeard or the Commanders! But they're all allies of Whitebeard!"
"Ididn't expect them to come!" said Ace.
"Shall we attack?"
"Not yet. Whitebeard should be somewhere near, too. And he must be up to something so keep an eye on the sea!"
"This is fun! I'm getting excited! Just come on, Whitebeard!" said Doflamingo.
Suddenly the water in the bay started to spread out and ripple.
"No way!" said Sengoku.
"I see a shadow in the bay!"
"No way!"
"I get it now! They got all their ships...coated and approached from undeerwater!" said Sengoku.
That's when the bay exploded and the Moby Dick appeared. As the coating disappeared and the ship came to a stop, the commanders appeared on the deck. But not before 3 more Moby Dicks appeared in the bay.
"Th-There are 3 more Whitebeard Pirate ships!"
"They've infiltrated the bay!"
"Th-That's the... 1st division commander- Marco! 14 commanders- they're all here!"
That's when Whitbeared walked onto the bow.
"It's been awhile, Sengoku."
"Whitebeard."
"You better tell me that my beloved son... is all right."
"I can't believe that we let them get this close!" said Sengoku.
"Give me a second, Ace."
"Pops!"
Suddenly the sea started to splash like crazy.
"What? A seaquake! There's only one person who could of caused that, but he isn't here!" said Sengoku.
'Hmm, What's going on? I guess we'll just have to see what happens.' thought Whitebeard.
( Earlier with escapees from Impel Down )
"Move aside, I'm going to warn them that I am coming." said a man as he cracked the air.
( Present )
After about thirty seconds the ocean calmed down.
"Is it over?"
"What caused that quake?"
"Pops. Everybody. I ignored your advice and took off! Why didn't you just give up on me? I'm the one who caused all of this!" shouted Ace.
"No. I'm the one who told you to go. Son."
"That's a lie! Cut it out! You told me not to go but I..."
"I'm the one who told you to go. I'm the one who told him to go. Isn't that right, Marco?"
"Yes, that's what I heard. I'm sorry that we put you through so much, Ace. Everybody in this world knows. What wil happen to someone who messes with... our crewmate!" said Marco.
"We won't let anybody who hurts you get away with it, Ace!"
"Count on us! We will save you!"
"Prepare yourselves, Navy HQ!"
"We brought this upon ourselves." said Aokiji.
"It's too late to say such a thing." said Akainu.
"That's so hideous." said Kizaru.
Moria started laughing.
"On this side, we, The Shichibukai, the Navy's greatest powers- 3 Admirals and a hundred thousand elite soldiers! On that side, there are the Whitebeard Pirates and more than 40 allied ships! Now, how do you wanna do it, Whitebeard?" said Moria.
"It's so exciting!" said Doflamingo as he licked his lips. He looked over at Mihawk. "Do you wanna be on the sideline as always? I know that you just came to kill some time." Mihawk just continued to stare out at thte front. "So be it."
Suddenly the sea level started to lower.
"H-Hey!"
"What's wrong?" asked the Marine.
"The water is receding!"
"What does it mean?"
"It means that somethings wrong!"
Now it was just a waiting game, to see what would happen.
"They've quieted down all of the sudden." said Jango.
"Are they waiting for Whitebeard's command?" asked Fullbody.
"I can hardly breath!" said Coby.
That's when the sea started rising.
"The water level is rising again!"
The other Marine looked out to the sea through a pair of binoculars.
"Wh-What's that?"
That's when the whole island started to shake.
"I can hear the ground rumbling!" said Moria.
"Now it''s coming! The seaquake that heset up before! Coming in the form of tsunami!" said Garp.
"Look! What is that?" the Marines shouted as two giant waves formed on the sides of the island.
"It's a giant tsunami!"
"Don't think that our superior forces will guarantee us victory." said Sengoku.
As soon as the two waves were close enough, Aokiji jumped into the air with his arms out.
"Ice Age!" thus freezing the waves as well as stopped the panicking Marines.
"Th-That was close!" said Helmeppo.
"Admiral Aokiji did it!" said Coby.
"Partisan!" said Aokiji as he launched what appeared to be 3 tridents made out of ice at Whitebeard.
Whitebeared just blasted them apart with his haki. However the blast continued into Aokiji who turned into ice and was sent careening into the ocean. He stopped on the surface and placed his hand on it, freezing the entire bay.
"The whole bay is frozen!"
"The ships can't move now!" said a pirate as he looked over the rail of the ship he was on.
"W-We have the greatest force of the Navy HQ the admirals- on our side!" shouted a Marine trying to boost moral.
"Th-That's right! There's no reason to be afraid of the Whitebeards!"
"Fire! Destroy the Moby Dick!"
The war has begun.
"Let's go!"
"We've got a good foothold now!"
"Show them what we're capable of!" shouted Vista.
With that the pirates started their charge.
"The commanders came out, too! Don't stop firing!"
"Mount a counter-offensive!" said Smoker to Tashigi as he too charged.
"Hai!" said Tashigi as she ran and saw Vista. "He must be the 5th division commander- Flower Sword Vista!"
She was so focused on Vista that she didn't notice a pirate attacking her from behind, but luckily Smoker saved her.
"Stay alert, Tashigi! They're all mighty soldiers- not just the commanders! Don't forget it!"
"I-I got it, Smoker-san!"
The sounds of swords clashing together, cannons, and gunshots could be heard everywhere. There was no letting up on either side. As the pirates continued to push on until they ran into the Vice Admirals.
"It's not that easy, huh? Here come the Vice Amirals of the Navy HQ!" said a pirate.
"It's so rare to see all of them together at the same place!"
"It's like when they have a Buster Call. But when it comes to Pops and us, it won't work that way!"
That's when Mihawk jumped down onto the lower level.
"Dracule Mihawk!"
"Is the Warlord on the move?" asked the Marine.
"That's very unusual!" said Kizaru.
"The capricious "Hawk-Eye" seems like he's willing to fight." said Akainu.
"What? Do you wanna fight?" asked Doflamingo.
"I just want to figure out the true distance... between us and that man who seems like right in front of us." he said as he drew his black sword and with a swift downward strike, he sent out a blast of green energy towards Whitebeard.
The bast cut through the ice as it made its way towards Whitebeard, but just before it reached the Moby Dick it was blocked by Diamond Jozu.
"He deflected the blow of the world's greatest swordsman! H-H-He must be...! … 3rd division commander- Diamond Jozu!" shouted a Marine.
Jozu smiled.
Kizaru feeling bored attacked Whitebeard but was stopped by Marco.
"He warded off the admiral's attack!"
"What's that? He's engulfed in a blue flame!"
"Blue flame?" asked Kizaru.
"You can't reach...the king... so easily!" said Marco.
"So fearsome, these Whitebeard Pirates." said Kizaru.
"What's with his body? He took Kizaru-san's attack directly but didn't fall!"
"So he has the power as they say?"
"It's even rarer than a Logia. Zoan type- Mythical Creature." said Kizaru.
"So he's the 1st division commander..."
"No matter what kind of attack he absorbs, he recovers by flames... Marco the Phoenix!"
Marco landed a kick that sent Kizaru crashing into the ground.
( Alright I am tired as hell so everything up till Luffy's arrival will be canon. )
"Did you just hear that, Helmeppo-san? Their strategy..." said Coby.
"Yeah..."
"They're gonna forget the schedule and execute "Fire Fist" Ace. If they do that..."
"What's that?" asked Helmeppo looking in the sky.
All over marineford the fighting paused as they watched a ship land in the hole that Jozu made. There was silence until footsteps could be heard. Out walked Jinbe, Crocodile, Ivankov, and the two hundred escapees. Once they stopped another set of footsteps could be heard. The pirates made a path for a young man dressed in ( see profile link )that walked to the front with his eyes shadowed by a straw hat. When he got to the front he looked up revealing a sinister grin.
"You think you should fear Whitebeared, you aint seen anything!"
"Th-Th-That's the superstar rookie... Monkey D. Luffy!"
Sigh I just had to write this chapter because the idea had been stuck in my head for a while. I am tired so I hope it was at least ok for you.
