"We are here today because of a pirate that has caused trouble in the sea. Portgas D. Ace, the captain of the Spade pirates and known associate of the Whitebeard pirates. He has caused trouble in every town he's been on, killed innocent lives, and now we are possibly facing the entire fleet of Whitebeard finding a way here despite our overwhelming forces." Sengoku continued to speak on the platform, he was alone for the moment standing before the thousands of marine soldiers before him.
"Here we have our greatest force we have ever amassed, facing arguably the most dangerous man of all. But we will not falter, we will not show any fear, we will proceed with the execution as scheduled and face Whitebeard head on." He pointed at the eight people under the platform.
"We have gathered our strongest allies who were once considered to be so dangerous that they were offered a deal where they will assist us in our cause against their fellow pirates. The royal Shichibukai." The marines erupted in a loud hoorah, staying true to their military code. Doflamingo was enjoying the moment waving at everyone in the audience.
"Comeon people, seep in this moment, this is the happiest these bastards will be." Doflamingo said to his fellow shichibukai. There order from left to right were Crocodile, Kuma, Moria, Jinbei, Doflamingo, Hancock, and Mihawk. He nudged Jinbei who didn't seem to budge, not bothered by Doflamingo's childish nature.
"Shut up Doflamingo, you're annoying." Said Hancock who looked away from the man. "Such disgusting behavior." She huffed.
"Oh hush princess, loosen up a little." Doflamingo replied.
Returning back to the Fleet Admiral, he continued his speech. "We also have our high ranking officials amongst us, some less experienced than others but they are all deserving of their ranks!" Sengoku pointed at the Vice Admirals and Rear Admirals in the crowd. She was disappointed to find that Vice Admiral Monkey D. Garp was not present.
Kelsey felt an overwhelming sense of pride at her progression. From the time that she was promoted into a commodore, she quickly climb the ranks. She has now earned the rank of a Rear Admiral for putting hundreds of pirates in impel down. Her abilities and power have grown from her first meeting with the strawhats, who she has been obsessed with since her initial meeting with them.
"Lastly our final line of defense and our greatest weapon. Admiral Kizaru, Admiral Akainu, and Admiral Fujitora!" The largest hoorah was heard in the crowd, glad to have the admirals on their side.
"I will also reveal something to all of you that will further justify our execution here today." He cleared his throat, finally the executioner led Portgas D. Ace up the steps of the execution platform. He slowly made his way up, holding his head down. As he took the slow steps up the platform, Sengoku continued his speech. "Portgas D. Ace is not just a notorious pirates, he is also the son of the most dangerous pirate to ever exist in the world. Portgas D. Ace is the son of Gol D. Roger!" Ace finally arrived on the platform, kneeling down in the middle of the executioners blade. He looked up confirming the news.
Not everyone was ready for the announcement, a collective gasp filled the air. Everyone froze up unable to swallow what Sengoku just revealed. The pirate Portgas D. Ace was the son of Gol D. Roger.
Suddenly the ground began to shake, what the entire marine force didn't anticipate was the Moby Dick emerging in the bay of Marineford. Whitebeard emerged in the biggest ship facing directly at the execution platform, two other ships right behind the main ship.
"Don't blame the child for his father's sin!" Exclaimed Whitebeard looking directly at Sengoku, behind him were the two executioners along with Ace between their two blades.
"Whitebeard! What are you doing here!" Exclaimed Ace in desperate attempt to tell everyone to go before they get hurt.
"Son everyone is here to save you, my family! Your crew! We will not leave until you are safe Ace! Mark my word!" Exclaimed Whitebeard, slamming his bisento on the deck of his ship. Everyone, despite the distance , Sengoku could feel his resolve.
Sengoku felt good making sure they gathered their full forces, he was glad they were prepared. Suddenly a man jumped in the air, impressively covering the distance between the Moby Dick and the wall before the main plaza. His eyes were focused on Ace trying to make a quick end to the battle.
Admiral Kizaru had different plans, smiling. He disappeared in a flash appearing before the Whitebeard first commander. "Hello." He said meeting Enel in the stomach with a light kick.
Enel was surprised by the man's arrival, but he was able to control where he landed sliding on the east side of the wall. He immediately went to work hitting every marine in sight with his lightnig, quickly making his mark on the east wall.
"Let's go, lets go save Ace!" Everyone cheered along with Whitebeard, Whitebeard. They had a problem, nowhere to step in order to get close to the wall. Suddenly everyone's wish was suddenly answered, the entire sea of the bay froze over, creating footing for the entire Whitebeard Pirates.
Newgate looked around finding a curly haired man with a white v neck shirt and black pants. His hands were touching the ocean as the person beside him suddenly disappeared in a blur making his way to the west wall, causing havoc in his own right. The man seem to have went into the war blind, not knowing where he was going.
The man who froze the ocean saluted Whitebeard, who nodded his head back in return. Seems like new allies have joined there effort.
"Now go my sons." Exclaimed Whitebeard, his entire fleet and the three crews joining the battle. The marine weren't going to back off, especially with the backing of the shichibukai, and the admirals. The whitebeard pirates engaged with the full force of the marine.
Whitebeard's commander immediately made their mark on the battlefield. First division captain Marco was making a small dent on the east wall forces, clearing as much enemies as he could. Third division Captain Jozu led a hundreds of his own men and other's are in the frontline clearing a narrow path to the north wall. Fifth division captain Flower Sword Vista followed the third division closely providing back up.
Sixth division captain Blamenco, Seventh division captain Rakuyo, and Eight division captain Nemur protected Whitebeard, acting as his shield incase some marines thought it would be a good idea to go after the head.
Ninth division captain Blenheim, Tenth division captain Curiel, and Eleventh division captain Kingdew created a path the to east wall to back up first division captain Sanji in his attempt to thin out the enemy numbers.
Twelfth division captain Haruta and Thirteenth division captain Atmos were making their way to the west wall to back the new arrival in his effort to clear as much marine as he could.
The remaining three captains were Speed Jiru the fourteenth captain, Fossa the fifteenth captain, and Izo the sixteenth captain. They were all making there way back to the entrance of the bay, creating a path for their allies to enter the bay through the new frozen ground created by Kuzan.
Outside
Outside the main bay were Whitebeard's allies, trying to claw their way through the hundreds of marine ships stationed outside of the base. Their allies were numerous in number but they could help if they were on the other side of the real battle.
They were all trying to create even a small gap to no avail, that is until Oars Jr. joined the battle.
He was slow in his approach but once he reached a marine battleship, he made quick work of it like it was just a piece of paper. He pushed two marine battleships out of the way, creating a path for the allies to dock and enter the battle.
East Wall
Back to the east wall, Jackson just kept kicking everything in sight. Not one to use his hands for combat, he relied solely on his legs. What seemed to be an easy tasked at first seemed impossible now with the number of marines coming at him with the intent to kill him. He continued to move though, little by little making his way back to the north tower. But he was moving at a snails pace because of the marines in his path. Lucky for him, Blenheim, Curiel and Kingdew joined him in the east wall restoring his lost momentum. With the new allies in the fold, Sanji regained his moral and eliminated more marines at a faster rate.
"Sup Jackson, look like you're struggling a bit." Blenheim made a clean sweep on a row of marine, not really struggling in swinging his huge sword.
"Just look forward brotha' we got your back." Curiel was providing cover fire in the middle, getting everyone who were getting too close for comfort.
"Aye." Kingdew agreed punching one of the marine officers sending him flying backwards to his allies.
"Thanks." Jackson, more determined than ever looked forward, the execution platform was so far but they were getting there.
West Wall
Sabo was the man mowing through the marines of the west wall, but all his training with the revolutionary would not prepare him for the marines' mighty resolve. He was not prepared for their non stop mentality of the marine officers present. Where was Ace anyway, Sabo just went head strong not really having any plan. If his logic was any good though, his best guess was Ace was somewhere North and he's moving in that direction.
Haruto, Perona, Bonney, Mapel and Atmos joined him in his effort, making it a bit easier to clear waves of marines approaching him.
"New guy, you friend or foe?" Haruta was quick with his saber, and despite his small stature, he was very powerful in his precision and agility. The man with him was Atmos, and he was anything but graceful, slamming his dual sword at enemies creating enough force to destroy the stone flooring.
"I know you guys, Whitebeard's people, well I'm a friend." Sabo was impressing the Whitebeard commander by using his full skill set in display. He was using his steel pipe as a weapon, channeling haki through it. "I'm here to save Ace, so we're on the same side for now."
"Cheaky bastard, but for now." Atmos chuckled while clearing a path for Sabo acting as their tank in the front lines.
North Wall
"Here they come men, this is our most fortified wall of all, do not let them pass!" Yelled Marine Vice Admiral Strawberry, who enjoyed front row battles. He wielded his identical blades in hands, holding them in reverse.
"Oi Vista, take care of that annoying bastard." Said Jozu who was leading the way to the North wall.
"With pleasure." Vista was surrounded with flowers and made a jump for Vice Admiral Strawberry. There blades clashed causing sparks to fly all over the place. They traded blows after blow causing some pirates and marine alike to watch in aw. "Everyone get back to the task at hand." Vista said with a smile, continuing his battle with Strawberry.
Jozu looked ahead, seeing Ace in the distance. Just a little more and they will break the plaza somehow.
Back in the bay entrance
"Welcome to the party." Said Izo as he ushered everyone through the entrance of the now frozen bay.
"Glad to be here, but our rear is taking large damages from the Marines. We're surrounded on all side. Oars did a good job creating a path to here, but now our back is taking massive damages." Said Captain Doma, a primary ally of Whitebeard Pirates.
"We should hold for a bit, Mcguy and the Decalvan Brothers are holding the rear." Said Captain Squard.
"Alright everyone lets join the main battle." Said Speed Jiru leading some of the pirate alliance back to where Whitebeard was.
"Are you seeing this Izo?" Fossa was holding his own against the marine who were trying to surround them.
"Yeah something is coming quick!" Izo was at awe for a moment. "Are they friend or foe?"
"Friend!" Exclaimed Captain Squard who got word from Captain Mcguy. "Captain Mcguy says they're a strong bunch helping them clear some of the troubles in the back row."
"Great, the tides of battle are in a favor for now."
With Whitebeard aboard the Moby Dick
"Thank you for creating footing for us Kuzan." Said Whitebeard, standing beside the Ice user.
"Don't mention it, I'm here with a stubborn friend." Said Kuzan as he watched Sabo in the west wall. Then his gazed switched to the king Wapol, who still hasn't made a move.
"How's that bastard Dragon doing?"
"Getting old like you."
"Gurarara If you didn't help me out I would kill you!"
"Whatever old man." Kuzan replied with a smile.
"How was your journey to get here?"
"It was pretty easy actually, driving a small ship really helped out stealth through the heavily guarded fortress. But there was a bump along the way."
"Oh?"
"Yeah we ran into a God, who just converted into a pirate recently. It was actually humorous how he told us a summary of his history."
"I feel that this is important." Whitebeard looked at Kuzan who shrugged his shoulder.
"He was just a guy looking to help out." Kuzan replied but unable to finish his story.
His smile disappeared when a powerful slash came there way. Kuzan created an ice wall to block the slash, luckily it was enough to stop the attack. He looked once again to where the shichibukai stood and found that Dracule Mihawk had made his move, drawing his giant sword and attacking directly at Whitebeard.
On top of the North Wall with the Shichibukai
"Finally someone did something." Exclaimed Doflamingo who was getting bored from the lack of action. Despite the countless deaths happening around them, he wasn't even bothered by it. He only cared that he was entertained.
"Hmm, that didn't work as expected." Dracule Mihawk was getting hot blooded, jumping into battle with the poor pirates in his way. His only goal was to find a worthy opponent who can stop him.
"Anyone else? No? Okay bye!" Doflamingo followed Mihawk but he went to the West Wall to hinder their plans.
Hancock also joined the battle, indifferent whether she was hitting Marine or Pirates, turning everyone she hits into stone. "You bunch of swines, I ought to destroy you all." She was disgusted by the way the lustful men looked at her.
Moria was enjoying himself, a battlefield was perfect for him, creating hundreds of zombies at his disposal. "Kishishishi! More Zombies! More for my army!" He kept gathering more and more soldiers as people continued to drop like flies.
Jinbei, Kuma, and Crocodile remained unmoving.
Kuma watched as Kuzan joined with Whitebeard for a chat, then followed Sabo in the west wing, both thinking the same thing. "Those damn fools."
Jinbei had too much respect for Whitebeard and what he's done to Fishman Island, that he doesn't move any muscle.
Crocodile was waiting for the right moment to make his move, waiting for his allies to arrive.
With the three Admirals
"Seems that the First Division Captain is causing havok in our east wing Admiral Kizaru, why didn't you finish him." Said Admiral Akainu, stern as ever.
"Eh, didn't feel like it." Admiral Kizaru slouched back on his chair.
"Hmmm, such troublesome sight to behold." Admiral Fujitora looked around the battlefield, his eyes troubled by what he was seeing. Pain, suffering, death, all occurring all at once. "Times like this I wish I was blind." He said continuing to watch everything unfold.
"They really are doing all this for that one man huh?" Admiral Kizaru looked up at Ace, who was watching everything as they were happening. He could see the man was speechless, unable to utter a word watching his friends die one by one.
"This is the nature of war, the only way for us to deliver on our promise of True Justice." Admiral Akainu doesn't see silver lining, there is bad which are the pirates, and good which are the marines.
"At what cost." Said Admiral Fujitora.
Back at the platform
Monkey D. Garp slowly made his way up the platform, finally sitting beside Ace, who still looked at the battlefield.
"Why'd you become a pirate Ace..." Said Garp, his eyes were looking at the platform, unable to bring his eyes to look at the prisoner. "You would've been a good Marine you know, most likely my protege."
Garp looked away knowing what comes next, this was the plan all along, he knew of it but he couldn't do a damn thing about it.
"Proceed on the execution of Gol D Ace." Sengoku commanded while Garp turned his head away, unable to make eye contact with the poor boy. This was part of their plan, to execute Ace ahead of time and to eliminate the Whitebeard Pirates.
The executioners lifted their blades above their head. They were going to drop it, causing an end to the pirate's efforts. But they stopped midway from feeling a strong presence from a distance.
Sengoku looked at the entrance of the bay, where the allied pirate forces were making there way through the bay. Everything seemed to be working as planned until something broke free from there line.
"Who the hell is that?" Exclaimed Sengoku pointing at the entrance of the frozen bay.
A jolly roger of a smiling skull with a tophat waved high above on the mast of a red and black ship like a cross between Kuro's and the Oro jackson. In between them were nine people standing beside each other.
"Sir the Phantom Pirates have somehow bypassed our security and entered the bay through force. They have joined forces with the Whitebeard Pirates and allies. They have also brought with them about 600 pirates." Said a person who radioed Sengoku.
"What!" Exclaimed both Ace and Garp at the same time. "THE PHANTOM PIRATES!"
