"It's not so bad..." Usopp had begun to warm up to the idea of mortality. He was once the unceremonious leader of an entire nation and now, well, now he had what he considered a friend in Charlotte Zoro. Ever since their battle that lasted several days, in which resulted in his lost, he has reverted from his over the top godly image into something more humane. Although he won't admit that out loud.

In the present time, Usopp is laying under a tree, watching the peaceful water of the ocean. It was a good sign for the day of his new friend's wedding. He wasn't a big fan of fancy events that doesn't revolve around him, his ego would not allow it, so he elected to watch the pier. Along the coast, below his vantage point, his loyal guards were very avid in watching the surrounding. Despite their new role, they remained loyal to Usopp. "It is definitely not bad at all..."

Suddenly, the hair on the back of his neck stood as from the horizon he could make out a jolly roger of a smiling skull wearing a straw hat.

"Alright boys, someone needs to let Big Mom know." Usopp shot up from his position and his loyal guards immediately appeared beside him. The fastest one of the group volunteered to go in which Usopp nodded in approval. Before Usopp could blink, a bolt of lightning went by his head hitting his runner. Then the bolt of lightning manifested into a person, more specifically, Enel of the Strawhat pirates.

"Long time no see Usopp." Enel had a charismatic smirk on his face as he held the fallen runner by the waist. Usopp knew the extent of his own power and he knows in his mind that he can stand toe to toe with the best of the strawhats, but the problem is they have multiple people that are strong enough to stand against him. The men beside him tried to engage but Usopp held out his hands.

"Stall the Grand fleet with our full force, it is the only thing we can do." Usopp pulled out both of his kabuto staff preparing himself to deal with the problematic thunder logia, Enel. His men dispersed covering as much of the port and beachside as possible. But he only had 200 men under his command, four of which are his top commanders against what is possibly the grandest armada in all four seas. "I'll make quick work of you Enel like I've done before."

"Not this time Usopp, I've grown far stronger than I was back then thank you for the training as well." Enel twirled his staff generating a bolt of lightning that shot in the air. They were referring to the time where Usopp strapped Enel's broken body to the arc maxim then for the two years apart with the main crew, Enel had tagged along with Usopp in order to grow stronger.

"I thought you everything you know...we've spared countless times and you never beat me."

"I know that, but today is different." A giant lightning bolt in a shape of a dragon swirled around Enel. "Today I feel lucky." The lightning dragon launched at Usopp causing a massive explosion.

With the main crew, aboard the Iron Maiden

"Everyone knows what they need to do. Head out." Strawhat Luffy stood before his crew as well as the commanders of his fleet. Enel had already gone ahead as he noticed a messenger trying to break away in order to warn the Big Mom pirates of their arrival.

"Captain, I want to go with Sanji." Tashigi spoke up regarding her job in the upcoming war.

"Well if you want to, just let Sengoku know. I have no doubt of your abilities Tashigi but are you sure? You will be right in the middle of enemy lines along with Sanji."

"Yes I'm sure Captain." Tashigi made her exit and Luffy returned his gaze back Whole Cake Island.

The strategic division are aboard the iron maiden's meeting room, coordinating positioning and ensuring that everyone is united. Amongst the strategic division are Kuro and Hawkins along with 20 personnel relaying messages to the other ships which also housed 20 of their own strategic personnel. They have outlined everyone's responsibility and everyone is in agreement.

The core of their strategy is overtaking the port in order to ensure that Big Mom's people can't escape. Then five of the grand fleet commanders and strawhat members had been chosen to stay behind and guard the exit path,two by the sea,two in the sky, and ten are going to be on what's deemed as halfway point and two will infiltrate and retrieve Vinsmoke Reiju. After Sanji's sister is safe, all hell will break loose as Strawhat Luffy will fully declare his intent to overtake Big Mom and remove her from the Yonkos. That is the plan anyway.

"First wave let's clear the beach!" The first wave consisted of Jozu, Kidd, Magellan and Jinbei, they worked well together and was trusted to clear the wave along with the people under them.

"Okay then second wave clear the ships!" This team consisted of Ace, Marco, and the entire 21st division of the grand fleet. Their task was to destroy the hundreds of ships docked in the port in order to prevent escape.

"Third Wave you know what to do." The third wave passed the first division as their primary mission is to clear the forest that separated the beach with the main territory of Big Mom pirates. They were tasked on snipping out potential escapee from the beach as well as those who happened to be in the forest. This group consisted of the entire 15th division led by Rob Lucci as well as Kuzan and Crocodile.

Namur and Arlong are ofcourse tasked with covering the sea as that is their strong suit.

Then Monet and Moria are in the sky, overlooking the entire island for the strategic division.

The infiltration team was suppose to be Sanji and Sengoku but Tashigi volunteered to replace the buddha so now the infiltration team is Sanji and Tashigi. Katakuri decided to tag along to ensure the safety of his comrade. Not that he doubted her abilities, but he was sure that being in the center of enemy lines will be extremely dangerous.

Now Sengoku had been reassigned as halfway marker which is basically coverage for the first and second wave. The rest of the crew are hanging back watching everything unfold. Their time will come as soon as a need arises.

Mugiwara Luffy awaited the emergence of Big Mom Charlotte Linlin then he will join the battle.

Land: First Wave

"Alright boys conquer and maintain the beach. You know what to do." Jozu led the way as the other three commanders followed behind him, then the rest of their own crew ran closely behind. Usopp's men did their best to defend the beach but it would take less than an hour for the grand fleet to overtake it.

"That was easy!" Kidd had his entire body covered in metal as no man was able to come close to him.

"Now the second step is to hold and defend." Magellan was using the lowest dose of his poison as he tried to revert from killing.

"Shouldn't be a problem, I'm going to join the ocean group." Jinbei jump straight to the ocean and joined Arlong and Namur.

"Men! Hold and defend!" Yelled Jozu as he raised his mace. The men yelled back in glee as they won their first major victory of the war.

Aboard the Iron Maiden, Strategic group.

"That was first blood. Great job land crew." Kuro marked their map of the entire Whole Cake island, crossing out the beach area as they have overtaken it. The map they were able to gather of the general landscape of Whole Cake island came from Nami who happened to have access to some top secret marine archive.

Sea: Second Wave, Ocean Group

The giants stood above the sea as they slammed their weapon to destroy ship after ship while Marco and Ace set everything on fire. It wasn't long before they were able to destroy the ships docked on the port eliminating escape from any of big mom's pirates. Even the Kraken, Surume was causing havoc, enjoying the moment it could finally let loose.

"This is great exercise, now where are the Big Mom pirates?" Dorry looked around and even in his giant stature, he could not see anything across the forest. Broggy looked on the distance as well, spotting movement in the forested area.

"We got movement in the forest." Broggy announced causing the Third Wave to move out to their mission.

"Good find Broggy!" Ace gave the giant a thumbs up while he and Oars Jr. combined their effort to destroy more ships.

"I see what you're talking about." Marco flew beside the head of Broggy and noticed the movement as well. "Oi, we got movement about 50 km from where I am." Marco spoke on his ear piece which relayed a message to the Third Wave, more specifically to Crocodile.

Forrest: Third Wave

"Got it." Crocodile continued to smoke his cigar as he was using his sand ability to float through the forest. "Eyes open boys we're getting close to our destination." Although the group was sent to a massive halt when Kaku received a sword right through his chest. He yelled out in agony as the impaler tossed him to the side. Rob Lucci immediately was by his side and brought him behind the group.

"Well well, some bugs in Mama's land." A man stood before them that had a distinct look of a brutish-looking warrior with a prominent nose, a large pointed beard, disproportionately thin limbs, and a prominent scar on the right side of its face. It is also fitted with a vest made of crackers, a Spartan-style warrior's helmet, and horns worn on the side of its head.

"Stay still Kaku we'll take care of this." Rob Lucci stood up slowly letting Kalifa hold onto Kaku. "You'll pay for this!" Lucci disappeared within a blink of an eye appearing beside the assailant. What was a surprise was the quickness of the stout man. Rob Lucci's body could not react fast enough to the swing of the same sword that impaled Kaku. Even Jabara could sense something was wrong but could not move. Lucky for them, Kuzan and Crocodile blocked off the strike simultaneously with an ice sword and golden hook respectively.

"Stay head strong and you don't make stupid mistakes Lucci." Crocodile was grinning even at the face of adversity as he held back the soldier along with Kuzan.

"What are you?" Kuzan gazed into the eyes of the lifeless soldier. He tried to extend his freezing ability through his sword and into the arms of the soldier and yet it remained unfazed at the sub zero temperature. Yet despite their joint effort, the soldier pushed them back with it's sword.

"We can't be diplomatic with this guy I suppose." Crocodile said as he readied his golden hook.

"No." Kuzan responded doing the same with his ice sword.

"Diplomacy! You attacked our land and you want to speak about diplomacy!" The Soldier stood firm not even attempting to dodge. Crocodile went for the legs and Kuzan sliced off the head. "You bastards will get it now!" The head of the soldier continue to speak as an army of similar soldiers surrounded the third wave. Galdino, Bon Kurei, and Daz Bones surrounded Kalifa and Kaku while Jabara, Fukuro, Kumadori, Nero, and Blueno formed an outside circle in order to act as a second line of defense. Crocodile and Kuzan took two opposite fronts in order to act as the defensive frontline. Crocodile surrounded the group with a sand wall that collided with Kuzan's ice wall that encompassed the group.

"The name is Cracker! I am one of Big Mom's sweet commanders!" Behind the army of soldiers was a slender man with a similar sword as the soldier.

"Must be your ability then." Crocodile looked around to see that every single one of them were made of crackers. Very tough to crack but doable.

The sea of cracker soldiers were tough to handle as Crocodile and Kuzan fended off as much as they could before a couple would leak into the second line of defense and the Cp9 agents san Kaku and Kalifa were defeating as much as possible. The last line of defense was barely touched with the Baroque works agents doing work against the cracker army. Lucci held the absolute last line of defense where Kaku and Kalifa was right beside him. Kalifa was trying desperately to stop bleeding to the best of her knowledge. Kaku was coughing up blood and they needed to get help fast.

"Blueno switch out with Kalifa, bring Kaku to Law and Chopper!" Lucci jumped to the front line while Blueno and Kalifa switched places. Blueno took Kaku and opened a doorway bringing Kaku to the med bay to get treatment.

Sky: Monet and Moria

"So you and Katakuri huh?" Moria said teasingly. This caused the 14th commander to blush.

"Yeah I think we are a thing." Monet replied proudly as Katakuri was such a dream.

"When I met the guy he was as hard as stone, good on you for breaking his shell."

"I always thought that I would be glad to die for Doflamingo's cause as he gave me purpose. But meeting Katakuri showed me that you can be thankful for someone but you don't have to be blind in what they are doing to you such as taking advantage of your loyalty." She has not told this to anyone even Katakuri as she thinks that he will tease her for being over dramatic. It was easy to talk to Moria.

"Well as for me I always thought that everyone just ends up dead, no use on trying to enjoy your time with the living when you can create an undead army. That was until I joined up with this group finally believing in something is worth fighting for." Moria shared something personal himself. "Plus I have a personal grudge with Kaido and after Big Mom we should be heading that way."

"Like Katakuri once told me, there's nowhere to go but forward." Monet said with a smile.

Chopper's Submarine: Med Bay

"Hurry up I need that IV fluid!" Chopper was keeping the patients stable while Law was performing the more complex surgeries. Choppers quick thinking and knowledge allowed him to stabilize the patients while Law's ability allowed him to dissect the patients effortlessly and perform surgery as needed.

"Help us!" Blueno went through his door with a bleeding Kaku in his arm. Luckily Chopper had just finished with a patient as was immediately taking Kaku to a hospital bed.

"What happened?!" Chopper was using multiple absorbent clothes to block the bleeding but the blood just continued to flow.

"He got impaled at full speed by a commander of Big Mom, located in the forest." Blueno stood beside his friend watching as Chopper was doing his work.

"Sounds like a pain, we got it from here make your way back and let Crocodile know to call for backup if he needs it!" Law exclaimed running by Chopper side and begun to strip the clothes from Kaku's chest area and began cleaning around the wound.

Blueno gave his friend's hand a final squeeze before returning to battle, opening a doorway.

"Alright lets go!" Chopper carried the bed by himself into the surgery room and Law followed behind. It took the both of them to stabilize Kaku but they were able to do it.

"I could have done that myself." Stated Chopper.

"I know but the both of us took less than ten minutes to finish a complex procedure." Replied Law.

"Right well I could have done it in fifteen minutes tops. Get back to work Law!" Chopper returned to where he was as Law had the room sanitized before performing a new surgery.

Main Land: Infiltrating the Party

"See we're blending right in like I said we would." Tashigi sat in between Katakuri and Sanji as they were wearing disguises created by Marguerite. Tashigi wore a long golden dress that emphasized her slender waist and her plentiful bussoms.

"Yeah just keep a low head and we won't be noticed." Sanji was wearing a monocle and a top hat, he was also sporting an all black suit complete with a sharp black tie.

"Keep an eye out we got some attention." Katakuri was wearing his usual scarf but for the event he was wearing a blue suit and a feathered pirate hat. He was sensing that some people were looking at them but not enough to cause an alarm.

"There they are." Tashigi subtly pointed at the giant cupcake shaped carriage that opened to reveal Zoro, causing her heart to skip a beat. He was wearing a fitted black tuxedo and along his waist was his signature three swords that he will not remove from his side. For a moment, a slight moment, Tashigi could see his gaze upon her. Then within a blink of an eye his gaze returned to the altar, making his way in front of the wedding coordinator. Big Mom bounced merrily on her chair as the homies all around were jumping in excitement.

Noticeably missing from the party were Charlotte Oven and Charlotte Perospero. Sanji remembered those two from their clash in fishman island. Then a sudden rush in memory of his once friend and ally Vista flashed before his eyes. 'Damn bastard' All thought of Vista quickly diminished as the next carriage arrived.

"Here she comes." Katakuri followed the second carriage that revealed Vinsmoke Reiju wearing a traditional wedding dress with her family crest on the side. The number 66 visibly showing. She was a beauty to marvel at but the trio were there for a mission. And they will complete that mission before anything.

She slowly made her way to the altar keeping her eyes fixated at Zoro. As she stood face to face with the man she was going to call husband soon.

Then stood in front of one another, not dropping their gaze with each other.

Beside Sanji and Katakuri, they could feel a slight release of flaming jealousy from Tashigi causing them to look at her confusingly.

The ceremony was nearly finished with nothing left but the acceptance of the husband and wife. Though before Zoro could say I do, he was surprise to find that his soon to be wife stabbed him in his rib area. "What the..."

Many things happened simultaneously at this point. A giant rocket launched itself towards the giant wedding cake that big mom has been patiently waiting to consume. The explosion of the rocket caused the wedding cake to tip over causing those in attendance to run in panic as the giant wedding cake begun to fall.

"Get to work boys!" Capone Bege stood beside Vinsmoke Judge as the two seemingly created an alliance to destroy Big Mom.

Reiju mouthed the word 'Sorry' with a sincere look on her face before she jumped back as Zoro fell on one knee. She had infused the blade with her poisonous devil fruit ability. All hell broke loose as Tashigi immediately made a mad dash for Zoro.

"Tashigi stop!" Katakuri chased after Tashigi while Sanji went towards his sister effectively splitting up the group.

In the middle of all the chaos, Ceasar the Clown managed to destroy a prized possession of Big Mom's, the picture of mother Carmel.

This caused Big Mom to effectively shut down, allowing the alliance of Capone and Germa 66 to cause plenty of havoc.

It was safe to say that all hell broke loose!
