Shank's Thoughts
Well, this is it. My first ever fanfiction. Pardon me for the mistakes, plotholes I might have made, as this was done on the spot. No planning, no nothing. I thought up of making while re-reading the marineford arc. Hope you enjoy it. Toodles~ RnR please
Shank's face was already fraught with worry. Given his large network of contacts, he had already heard that Luffy was already participating with the war. Worse still, it was revealed to the world that he was the son of the Revolutionary Dragon himself, not to mention the step-brother of Portgas D Ace. What was Luffy thinking? With that kind of bloodline, the stronger marines, namely the Vice-Admirals on that battlefield would chase him like bloodhounds, to say nothing of the Admirals themselves. Akainu especially. Anyway, he knew he couldn't be distracted as he would be at marineford any time now.
"Boss! We have reached Marineford!" Benn shouted.
Shanks simply nodded grimly as he felt the chaos of the war, and sheer bloodlust from the marines… And Teach? That was unexpected. And then he felt a great power die. That was when he realized what exactly was happening. The traitor went back to murder his captain. He gripped his sabre as he prepared himself to fight in case Teach wished it to be so. And then, after a few seconds, he saw it. The body of Portgas D Ace. Not only that, the battle was continuing. While the marines fought for victory, the pirates fought for revenge. This was why he came, to stop this senseless madness before it became worse for both sides.
While he was musing over the faint chance of the survival of Luffy, it hit him. A faint sense. Broken, but alive. Luffy. While he was silently happy for the survival of luffy, he had more important things to look to. To stop the war.
As he finally reached Marineford, he saw something he did not expect. A young marine, trying to make peace. Shanks was impressed with the young man's determination and empathy for stopping the war. Perhaps the code of Moral Justice thrives still in the heart of young marines. But he had little time to appreciate that as he saw Akainu going after that boy. Charging forward, he managed to block the fiery fist of Akainu as he commended the courage of the young marine who managed to change the fate of this war and the world, for good or for ill.
Retrieving his fallen straw hat, he took a deep breath and proclaimed, "I'VE COME TO END THIS WAR!"
Ok. That's my fanfiction. Now, I know its pretty disorganized, a crap ton of plot holes, and dear oh dear, an unfinished beginning. But it's my first crack at fanfiction so go easy on me okay? I promise I'll do my best to be better on the next one shot =)) Thanks for reading everyone, hope you had a great day.
