Sabo gazed at the horizon and luck was on his side today for he was in a hurry. The sky was clear and no signs of any coming the back of his mind he felt guilt for leaving Ace and couldn't help but feel like he was a bad brother.
He quickly tried to put that out of his mind for it wasn't like him to act this way he was a big brother and he knew if Ace was on the island than Luffy will look after him while Ace would do the same.
"Luffy, Ace please be alright I know you have friends who are with you but I have a bad feeling and I hope I am wrong." Sabo sighed for he tried to put on a brave front and leave all doubt out of his mind. He knew that he would have to be of sound mind since a battle was ahead.
At the same time Luffy finally made it to where Doflamingo was and openly attacked him causing him to stumble which Law just smirked.
"Go help Ace Tra-guy and leave him to me." Luffy glared at the warlord as he laughed thinking that a rookie could take him on.
"None of you will leave this island." Doflamingo had set up as a trap from the start and he knew that Law couldn't help but fall for it.
Law knew that Corazon and him both wanted revenge but Luffy was a miracle worker and even though it pained him to admit it he was the only one who could truly bring down the warlord.
"Let's go Corazon, Straw Hat has this and we will be better off helping the mission." Law told him which at first Corazon didn't want to budge for he needed to do this but Luffy's expression changed his mind.
"Lead the way." Corazon told him and as soon as they started running away they both heard a loud bang and Law turned with his eyes widened in shock.
"Corazon!" He yelled as his old friend hit the ground and he ran over to him immediately. Blood was coming out fast which Law quickly tried to bandage it he heard a laughter in the background.
Luffy punched Doflamingo again sending him flying for now he was real serious.
Corazon turned to Law "Go now you must finish this and know this I'm so proud of you." He shut his eyes and Law noticed that he took one last breath than he was gone.
Law saw red and was about to go after Doflamingo right than and there but he was pulled back by Zoro who gave him a voice of reason of going to help Ace find Marco.
"Kick his ass Mugiwara." Law yelled as the battle continued in the distance.
Law signaled his crew to meet him on the other side of the island and than made his toward Ace's location he just hope that the kid wasn't in any major danger.
Meanwhile Ace had just entered the underground tunnel and he felt a strong pull coming from up ahead. "Marco?"
"Ace is that you?"
"Yes I had came to save you. I felt some pain earlier are you alright?" Ace was honestly afraid that there was something wrong with his friend.
"I'm fine Ace just follow the connection and you will find me." Marco smirked a little for the kid had came to his rescue but deep down he was afraid for him.
Ace continued to walk through until he reached the dungeons and soon he heard someone behind him. He thought it was an enemy so he summoned his magic.
"Relax Ace - ya it's just me. Luffy had me come down here to help you." Law had his hands up in surrender and a smirk on his face.
"Good I think I will need help." Ace and Law started checking the cells and soon they found the one Marco was in.
"Do you have the key?" Law asked and he shook his head no.
"Well looks like I get to destroy more of that bastard's property." Law used his cursed sword and attacked it but there was no damage.
"Seastone cells." Ace wasn't surprised and he could tell that Marco didn't look well.
"Find the key and we must set him free. Looks like he needs help." Ace motioned Law to start searching.
At the same time Black Crusader ships spotted the Moby Dick and the Red Force which Burgess smirked. "Fire!"
Shanks and Thatch both were able to dodged the cannon balls but barely. Than they ushered orders to return fire. A battle started at the docks and Shanks only hoped that they hurried up so they can leave this island.
"Hurry up guys." Shanks whispered under his breath.
Thatch yelled over to Shanks "We should split up and move so we aren't sitting targets."
Shanks didn't think it was wise but he nodded anyway for this might be the only chance.
At the same time Garp and Sengoku had intercepted Aokiji and Kizaru trying to stop them from going to the island for they knew that Ace had arrived on the Isle of Roses.
"You brats should turn around while you can." Garp warned them but neither one was going to back down.
"Oh they are scary." Kizaru said and Aokiji sighed for he didn't want this to happen because he had respected both while they were marines.
"I think we can avoid battle." Aokiji made the message clear and Sengoku understood for he had respected both of this admirals unlike Akainu.
"We have orders and I'm not going to tell the new Fleet Admiral that we failed." Kizaru knew that Aokiji wasn't in the mood to fight but he was more afraid of Akainu deep down than Garp and Sengoku combined.
"Turn around and we will forget we even saw you." Sengoku gave them this warning in order to avoid the useless fight but he couldn't help but feel that Akainu had planned this.
Before anything else could be said two warlord ships appeared which Garp laughed knowing exactly who came to crash the party.
"Surrender now for you are outnumbered or fall make your choice." Garp told them and soon a stand off started between them.
Back on the island Luffy was fighting Doflamingo with all his might. "You will pay for what you had done to my nakama."
Doflamingo laughed "You will never leave this island alive Straw Hat and neither will that brat of the prince or my other prisoner."
Luffy's rage was growing and he punched him sending him into a building which collapsed thanks to the impact.
"My nakama aren't yours to control and you will not stop us." Luffy knew that this was a trap and he looked down to see his allies fighting in the city. Than he saw that the Black Crusaders had found them as well.
"My nakama makes me strong and we will succeed for we will burn the world to protect our friends." Luffy told him which Doflamingo saw the fire behind his eyes.
"Dreams are for fools and you will not survive the world government for Akainu is out for blood and he will not stop until all of you are dead."
"Shut up!" Luffy made his move again but Doflamingo dodged it with his haki.
Luffy turned and went in for the attack again but as Doflamingo tried to dodge it again he actually was hit and he was shocked.
"Your haki skills are good Straw Hat but you still have a lot to learn." Doflamingo counter attacked which Luffy easily dodged.
"The pirate age will stand as long as there are those who believe in it and I will find the greatest treasure ever." Luffy's dream is what drives him and he will put down anyone who mocks him.
"You are a fool your dreams will end here with your death." Doflamingo smirked and soon explosions were heard all over the island.
