Chapter 4

Everyone in Marineford really didn't expect a visitor gonna come and interfering the war especially if that person is Red Haired Shanks himself. Shanks heard how bad the war after watching the live footage at visual dial and decided to end this war.

"Akagami! That's the man who made Luffy takes the pirate path" Garp growled to himself and gritted his teeth

"Akagami…" Whitebeard looking at the one handed pirate

"That man just fought Kaido yesterday and yet he still able to arrive in here?" Sengoku said in disbelief

All the Akagami pirates come down from their ship and catch up to Shanks. Lucky Roo notice Luffy body got covered by Shanks coat and…

"Boss, Is that?" Lucky Roo pointing at Luffy body

"Ahhh… That's Luffy. He's dead of course" Shanks said

"I can't believe he's dead" Ben Beckmann close his eyes while holding his rifle

"Also where's your Mugiwara hat? Didn't you give it to Luffy?" Yasopp said to Shanks

Shanks already knew that his Mugiwara hat isn't near Luffy body anywhere until Ace sees Shanks and shouting something to get his attention.

"SHANKKKSS!" Ace shouting from distance

"Hmmm…? What is it Hiken no Ace?"

Ace shows Luffy Mugiwara hat and he jump from the ship with his injured body and give Shanks the Mugiwara hat.

"Here's Luffy Mugiwara hat. He told me to give this hat back to you" Ace handed the Mugiwara hat to Shanks

Shanks stare at the Mugiwara hat that Ace gives to him. He quickly remember the time when he gave Luffy his strawhats 10 years ago.

"One day I will form a big crew and find the greatest treasure!"

"AND BECOME THE PIRATE KING!"

"Ohhh! So you want to be better than us huh?"

Shanks takes of his hat and put it on Luffy's head

"I will give this hat to you"

"This is my favorite hat you know?"

"Promise me Luffy, When you finally become King of Pirates, return that hat to me"

Luffy immediately cries after Shanks put the hat on his head and his promise to him. Luffy then raise his head with a smile in his face and said to Shanks

"Uhmmm…! I will!"

"Luffy… I guess I can't see you become the Pirate King anymore like you said to me long time ago." Shanks deeply thought and raise his head to the sky

Shanks really wanted to cries because of Luffy's dead but he hold his tears back because he know this is not the time. For now he only has one job, to stop this bloodthirsty war and clean all this mess up.

"AKAGAMI! How dare you interfering our business!" Akainu shout in anger

"Ararara… Right now thing starting to get more complicated eh?" Aokiji said and coming down from the iceberg

"Hoooo…! What business do you have in here, Akagami?" Kizaru said with his usual tone

Shanks look at the 3 Admirals with serious eyes. The truth is He really can't control his emotion after he looks at Luffy lifeless body, but for the sake of the Whitebeard Pirates and other Marines, he suppressed his personal feelings.

"This war have been caused both physical and emotional feelings to both side"

"If only I hadn't come, the damages will increase significantly"

"So if any of you still want to continue this chaos…"

"THEN DO IT! WE'LL TAKE EVERYONE WHO STILL WANTS TO CONTINUE!"

After Shanks said his word, all the Marineford is covered in silence. From the Marines side they just speechless, didn't know what they're going to do after Shanks statement. On Whitebeard Pirates they're speechless too but some of them cries because of Whitebeard extreme injuries and Ace little brother die horribly right in front of their face.

The silence is broken by Shanks because he still have things to said

"Luffy's body, you will not take him. Leave his body to me for proper burial"

"What are you talking Akagami! Mugiwara bodies will be our great trophy to indicate Marines victorious" One of the Vice Admiral said

The Vice Admiral words really make Shanks angry. He unleashed Haoshoku Haki on the Vice Admiral and immediately fainted

"ANYONE WHO STILL WANT TO TAKE LUFFY'S BODY, THAT PERSON SHOULD WALK OVER MY DEAD BODY FIRST!" Shanks shouted again

"Tskkk… That Akagami!" Akainu gritted his teeth in anger

Shanks then turn into Sengoku who just stand in middle of Marineford rubbles

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, do you have any objection on my statement?" Shanks asked to Sengoku about his statement

Sengoku pause for a moment but he respect Shanks decision. Also he wanted to end the war because the casualties of both side is many and the war is really brutal

"Fine Akagami, you may take Mugiwara no Luffy body. Meanwhile I will take the responsibility of this war" Sengoku said

"You have my gratitude, Fleet Admiral"

Sengoku then turn into the all marines left and he shout to them

"You all who still standing, tend the wounded. Also…"

"THE WAR IS OVER!" Sengoku shout to all the Marines left in Marineford

Shanks then walk to Whitebeard who just come down from the ship to meet with Shanks face to face

"Akagami… I think I owed you one for this"

"Don't mind it Shirohige, for now take all your crew and get out from this place"

"Gurararara…! All of you let's go! We're going to get out from this island" Whitebeard said to all the Whitebeard Pirates

"AHHHHHH…!" All of the Whitebeard Pirates shout in happiness because of their "Father" words

Marco and Vista who worried about their "Father" injuries come to him and check on the injuries

"Oyaji… What about your injuries? I'm so worried about you" Vista worrying about his "Father" injuries

"Gurarara… Don't worry about me Vista. Physical injuries can be healed but if one of my sons is injured my mental injury is hard to heal.

"Oyaji… I'm glad that you are my father" Marco said to his "Father"

"Gurararara…" Whitebeard laugh in happiness

Shanks then notice Ace down to his knees crying over Luffy dead body. He come to him and talks to him

"Ace… it's inevitable. Your cry can't make Luffy alive again" Shanks put his hand on Ace shoulder

"It's all my fault. If only I didn't chase Teach, I won't get captured and Luffy won't died" Ace said with broken voice

"Don't worry Ace at least Luffy didn't die in vain. Just look at his face" Shanks said with little smile on his face

Ace then opens the coat which Shanks used to cover Luffy body. He saw Luffy face is smiling with blood around his lips and forehead.

Ace starting to cry more because he has flashback of Akainu hit Luffy and the moment after Luffy dead. He really blamed himself, because of his selfishness his "father" is heavily injured, all of the Whitebeard Pirates fight to death just to rescue him and more importantly his little brother was killed right in front of his eyes.

"Luffy… I'm really sorry. This is all my fault" Ace said with a tear from his eyes

Shanks then give back the Mugiwara hat to Ace. Ace confused by Shanks action.

"Shanks… Why do you give me back this hat?" Ace asked

"It's not my hat anymore. It's belongs to Luffy now and since he's dead, I think you're the one who should have this hat"

"But…"

"I'm sure Luffy's Nakama really want to see this Mugiwara hat because this hat will always remind them of their captain"

After Shanks word, Ace take the Mugiwara hat and he put it on his head so it always remind him of Luffy then he cover back Luffy body with Shanks coat.

"Also Ace, I'm not gonna bury Luffy back in Foosha Village"

"Eh? Why? That's Luffy hometown. He should be buried in there" Ace object to Shanks decision

"If I bury him in there, his grave will be vandalize by pirates and dirty marines. It will cause a big trouble if that happen" Shanks said his reason to not bury Luffy back to Foosha Village

"Oh I see, you right. So where did you plan to bury Luffy?"

"There is an island in the New World that I visited once. It's a peaceful place, I'm sure that's gonna be perfect place for Luffy grave"

"Can you give me the island location later? For now, I need to go to Sabaody to meet someone that Luffy told me"

"Right. I will give you the location later. Now I'm gonna take Luffy body to safety first"

"Yasopp… Beckmann… Help me carry Luffy body to the ship" Shanks orders 2 of his crewmates to help him

"Ahhh…" Yasopp and Beckmann nodded

Shanks with Yasopp and Beckmann then proceed to carry Luffy body to the ship

"Ace I take my leave then. I hope my best for you and Shirohige"

"Thank you for your help Shanks"

"No problem"

Shanks then remember 10 years ago, how Luffy really wanted to ride in his ship along with him and his crew for an adventure

"Shanks, take me along with you when you're going for an adventure"

"Luffy, how many times that I told you you're still kid. Also you can't swim right and what if you fall of from the ship?

"I don't care if I can't swim, just take me with you"

"Hahaha… Luffy ask me again after you learn how to swim"

"It's a promise then. After I learn how to swim you have to take me with you"

"Let me think about it again… Nope, you still can't go with us Hahahaha…"

"Mooo… Shanks…"

"Hahahaha…"

"Luffy… Did you remember what you said long time ago about riding on my ship with me along with my crew? Looks like you got your wish now…" Shanks looks at Luffy body with a weak smile on his face

Ace then watch Luffy body get carried by Shanks, Yasopp and Ben Beckmann. This is going to be the last time he saw Luffy with his own eyes. With little tears in his eyes Ace said his final words to Luffy.

"Sayonara… Luffy."
