A/n: In response to some reviews, Apoo and Hawkins are definitely not with Kaido hehe.
Anyone have a guest with who is in Kid's crew? And he is not a rookie as he's been a pirate for years, more on that later.
-There's a special place in the heavens for people who review every chapter...you are the real MVP!
-I have Luffy at Third in Cannon bounties but second in my story bounties, more on that later. Hehe but he has the bounty only second to Roger in my story.
-this one, this one made me shiver, wooh.. anyway enjoy!
Sphinx
"You see this pops?" Whitebeard was laying on his back, enjoying the sun. It had been such a stressful year especially with that damned Weevil after his children. 'Damn you Bakkin..'
Marco walked casually to where Whitebeard was resting. They were now the same age since Luffy had him changed to his younger self, and it still freaked out Marco.
"What is it son?" Whitebeard sat up and took the paper from Marco, the image of his defeat in Enland plastered against the front page. "Ah! Look at that, I did not know Morgans had an image of this war. But what good is publishing this image?" Whitebeard asks, failing to read the rest of the article. Marco pointed at the paper, for Whitebeard to read some more. "Ah, okay fine. Mugiwara is back, and his bounty was raised exponentially, to 5,021,000,000 beris, a bounty just below the Pirate King, and above the one who is dubbed as the strongest.
Monkey D. Luffy is the true King of this world." Whitebeard read out loud and jumped to his feet. "Gurarara! That damned brat was actually alive!"
"Aye pops."
"Alright then, get the Moby Dick ready, we are paying the Strawhats a visit!" Exclaimed the Yonko, although he hasn't felt like one since his defeat at the hands of Luffy. But people dubbed him as such so he had to act his part. "We have to make up for lost time! Nine years I have been waiting to exchange sake with Mugiwara."
"So pops, are we really doing what you told me all those years ago."
"He is the one Marco." His eyes never wavering, backing up his resolve.
"Right Pops." Marco said with a smile, although their father and son moment was quickly interrupted by the sound of alarm.
For in the distance, a screech of terror erupted. Whitebeard and Marco shared a look, this was not normal, who would be foolish to attack Sphinx. Was it Weevil? If so he was going to die! "Go Marco!" An explosion filled the air as the after impact was enough to destroy the Moby Dick.
Marco nodded and flew in the air, turning into a phoenix within an instant. Whitebeard grabbed his bisento and immediately went into action.
Although what he saw made him freeze for only a moment, for before him a massive floating ship launched a light beam straight through Marco, knocking him out of the air.
"What the hell!" Exclaimed Whitebeard as around him light beams escaped the massive ship, eradicating any and all of the people of his island.
"Fuck." Marco was sent through several buildings, finally slowing down as he went through a deli.
"What is going on!" Jozu had gone outside and realized all hell's breaking loose.
Whitebeard immediately went into action, despite not knowing what was going on. All he knew was that a giant thing was in the air and shooting power beams straight through his Island.
He leaped into the air, punching in the general direction of the massive ship. Crackles in the air began to form as Whitebeard launched a quake infused punch through the monstrosity.
Though in the path of his own quake, two pacifistas absorbed the strike and was shattered into a million pieces.
Whitebeard's eyes widened as hundreds of Pacifistas emerged from the massive ship and began to descend on his land.
The cyborgs unleashed a hell fury in their world that they have never experienced, not in their lifetime.
All around him there was pain and suffering. "Pop's help me!" Screamed one of his daughters. "Pops.." Said another one of his son. Their pain was echoing in the air and all he could do was fight for them, for their lost and sacrifice. He could not save everyone, that much he knows.
This may be the end for Sphinx, the end of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Newgate launched himself upwards once more, with his entire crew fighting for their life, there was no time to rest. The damn monstrosity of a ship floated completely over his island and there was nothing he could do to even dent it. It was hopeless and yet he had to fight. Though a beam of energy was struck him head one, launching him straight to the ground. And it did not stop at that either as it continued to force him lower and lower into the earth.
"GAH!" Whitebeard forced himself to his feet, struggling at his attempt to do so. But he was able to get up on his feet, absorbing the beam with his haki infused forearm. As the strike finally ended, Whitebeard was finally able to launch his own attack.
Whitebeard brought both hands outward grabbing on the air and pulling it together. Crackles in the air cause a quake to erupt unleashing the ground to violently collide and erect a massive stone pillar, while performing his powerful move, all he could think of was the safety of his people. And yet he could not keep up, as the Pacifistas were wreaking havoc, the ship was destroying everything.
Then as his spike erected towards the ship, a powerful blast erupted once more from the ship, decimating the stone pillar into dust. In fact, the blast was so strong that a hole was now created in the center of his island, where the spike used to be. Whitebeard cursed as the charge time for the damned beam was so quick that it could annihalate his island in a matter of minutes.
His mouth hung agape as he looked to his right, his people were being massacred. Then to his left he looked directly into the eyes of Blenheim as he met his end at the hands of two pacifistas. Even his commanders were no match. Marco was doing his best, Vista and Jozu were doing what they could. This was truly the end.
So Whitebeard gripped his bisento and unleashed hell on earth, launching quake infused bubbles straight to the core of the pacifistas, just on his rampage alone, he managed to eliminate 50 but they kept coming and coming.
"Ahhh!" Yelled Whitebeard, cursing the world for his faith. And yet, as he looked up, the ship which had been causing total annihilation was exploding. The ship itself stopped moving and its mechanical integrity was all shut down. Then a massive nail zoomed past him and collided with the core of the ship.
The Yonko was too shocked to move a muscle, as a pacifista got near him, its beam mouth projectile ready to fire and yet it never got to launch its projectile.
A man whose skin glowed pink punched the Pacifista out of the way, smashing its metallic skull into itself.
"We got here as quickly as we can." Commented the man, for Whitebeard turned around and realized that several doorways and mirrors were created, with people coming through.
The Strawhat Grand Armada came to their aid.
"Long time no see old friend." Said Monkey D. Luffy, and just as faith would have it, Newgate recognized Douglas Bullet manipulating the mechanical integrity of the massive ship. Shiki 'the Golden Lion' had suspended the monstrosity in thin air. Then Byrnndi World unleashed a flurry of driver nails at the ship.
"Mugiwara, how..." Began Whitebeard.
"We'll talk later, we have something to attend to." Luffy engulfed himself in smoke quickly emerging into his Bound Man form. He then launched himself forward, going towards the massive ship. Whitebeard smiled, finally realizing that the god of dead does not require his presence quite yet. And he leaped after the man who returned from the dead, and enjoyed the utter destruction of the object that caused him so much pain.
Marco had destroyed two pacifistas, burning them to puddles of metal. Although his charging period to launch his devastating blue flame ended up being his shortcoming. As four more pacifistas launched themselves at him. Marco gathered all of his strength inwards, he was going to self destruct as a last ditch effort to destroy as many of the bastards as he could.
"The hell are you doing?" The voice was a familiar one, someone who he fought against many years ago. Dogtooth had emerged beside him, unleashing spiked mochi out of his body and piercing the tough exterior of the pacifistas.
"Aren't you late." Marco joked as he was helped up to his feet.
"Hn." Katakuri shrugged while going forward, destroying another pacifista with his hammer arm made of mochi.
"As cocky as ever Dogtooth." Said Marco though deep down, he was very thankful for the arrival of their allies. Even though two years ago, when invading Big Mom's territory, they were unavailable for them.
"Damn you!" Jozu slammed two pacifista's heads in and tackled another one and ripped it into pieces. But there were so many of them that it had become a hopeless situation.
"Need some help?" A golden man sat along a pillar of gold, launching the other golden pillar straight through two pacifistas.
"Get to work, Gild." Commented the thunder user as he shorted a couple of pacifistas out of their max voltage.
And last to arrive was Mihawk who cut through eight pacifistas with one swing of his sword.
"Jozu." Greeted Mihawk. It had been some time.
"Hawkeye." He acknowledged the swordsman and then the Golden Emperor and Thunder God. "Gild, Enel."
"You're lucky to have a quick thinker like Izo 'of the Blazing Ember'." Said Mihawk as he launched a wave strike from the tip of his blade and dealt with another set of Pacifistas. "If he did not call for help, where would you be now."
"I didn't think you all would come." 'Flower Sword' Vista stood back to back with Sir Crocodile as they worked in conjunction to deal with the pacifistas.
"Tsk you think to little of us." It was unspoken, but Crocodile hinted at his disappointment when the Whitebeard pirates were not present when they needed help. But let bygone be bygones.
"Thank you." Vista unleashed a tornado of flowers white Crocodile filled the Pacifista with sand to the point that it imploded.
"Whatever." Crocodile said with a smirk, it had been awhile since he was able to let loose. It was nice to have some cyborgs to destroy and go all out.
Around the battlefield, the Strawhats were dealing with the Pacifistas, while protecting Whitebeard's people.
Haruta obtained the assistance of Usopp, Brook, and Galdino. Usopp gave them perfect coverage while Brook and Galdino dealt with those who got close.
As a wave of Pacifistas surrounded them, Magellan came in to melt the damned things.
"You are the head jailer of Impel Down." Said Haruta recognizing him from the news report. The breakout of Impel Down four years ago. Usopp covered them, unleashing a deadly combination of different plant life and explosive combinations. Galdino created a wall of wax that pushed the pacifista away from them and Brook unleashed a cold strike through a pacifistas, freezing the cybord in their core.
"I was, but this Mugiwara guy is not so bad." Said Magellan with a smile. For a long time, he has not been happy. His job was redundant and draining. But with the Strawhats, he could truly let loose. It also helped that his gastric issues were resolved by the doctors of the crew. When one doesn't need to shit all the time, that one person is truly happy.
For how the doctors of the strawhat figured out how to counter the effect of his devil fruit, you would have to ask Chopper.
Speaking of Chopper, he was in his horn point as he rammed straight through a pacifista. Then Law removed the core of the pacifistas within his area. Daz Bones and Vergo went through the cores and destroyed every single one of them. He quickly got to Blenheim and began resuscitating him. There was still hope for the fallen man, it was just very thin.
Baby 5 and Wyper were a tandem, it seemed like there was something there. Wyper had Baby 5 turn into a tracking missile in which he launched her forward, unleashing a devastating blow at a pacifista. Atmos looked up as he was nearly squashed by said pacifista and gave them a thumbs up.
Then Trebol and Bonclay worked against an enemy Pacifista. With Trebol swallowing the Pacifista in snot, slowing its mechanical movements, while Bonclay hit it so quickly that it was no longer functional.
"Good job snot man!" Exclaimed Bonclay as he struck a pose.
"Not so bad yourself Bon-chan!" And the two exchanged a spirited high five.
Senor Pink and Dice went through an enemy. Senor Pink dragged a pacifista into the ground while swimming on it while Dice rammed straight through the immobile pacifista.
Baccarat, Machvise, and Ohm worked together to eliminate another. Machvise embraced the Pacifista while Ohm cut it's mechanical arms. Baccarat then launched a lucky rock through its core, shutting it down for good.
Speed Jiru was finally able to plop down on his butt, as he had been so tired from constantly having to speed up against so many pacifistas. He was so glad they had reinforcements
"Excellent work if I do say so myself." Commented Ohm as he placed his sword over his shoulder. Machvise nodded while Baccarat smiled at the job well done.
Gin and Kuro combined together to destroy a pacifista. Kingdew was going to be at the receiving end of a light beam but it could not release it's beam as Kuro pinned it to the ground and Gin unleashed a flurry of strikes with his tofa.
"I don't think we've met." Gin helped Kingdew to his feet. "I'm Gin, grumpy over there is Kuro."
"Hn." Scoffed Kuro, ever so friendly.
Zala, Satori and Tanaka were able to destroy another. Satori created spheres that limited the pacifista's movement while Zala pinned it's limbs with her spiked abilities so it could not activate its beam hands and mouth and last was Tanaka who went through it with his phasing ability, and pulling the core out of its chest. Blamneco had a smile on his face as he dropped his mallet, exhausted from the constant fighting. Lucky they had allies come to the rescue.
Jabra used his wolf form to maul a pacifista with Kaku slicing it down.
Bonney could not do much as she could not turn the cyborgs into babies or old people, but she can fight. Plus she had the combined explosive energy of Gladius and Gem fighting alongside her.
Namur was doing his best as he too would get overwhelmed, though lucky for him, Jinbei came to the rescue. And Jinbei was widely regarded as the second strongest of all the Fishman. Powerhouses such as Fisher Tiger and King Neptune have fallen down the ranking with age. Namur was glad to have Jinbei there by his side.
The numbers of the pacifistas were numerous and yet, the Strawhats and the Whitebeard pirates eventually dwindled the numbers of the enemies by a handful.
Hancock observed along with Robin in the corner of their eyes as Sanji kicked a pacifista straight to the sky, while Nami electrocuted another one with her weapon, and finished it with an air palm. Then Zoro cut up two pacifistas with his three sword style which impressed Shura and Gedatsu. Sugar and Monet watched the swordsman as well, also acknowledging his growth.
The new recruits were too much in amazement to do much, as they did not have to really do anything. The former members of the World Pirate, and Golden Lion Pirates looked at one another and finally realizing, that they are Strawhat Pirates now.
Up in the sky, the world shattering combination of Luffy's level 6 escaped prisoners in Byrnndi, Shiki and Bullet, Whitebeard the Yonko, and himself was a sight to behold.
Whitebeard unleashed his frustration on the giant ship, as Shiki floated him to the deck. There were hundreds of pacifistas aboard and yet the combined effort of Luffy and Whitebeard were enough to eliminate the pacifistas in mere instances.
Luffy unleashed a flurry of his signature python with one strike destroying a pacifista in its path. While Whitebeard shattered the pacifista with his quake infused bisento. He was not holding back either as Luffy limited his after shock by making the deck of the ship into rubber. Therefore minimum after effect, maximum the damage.
Bullet joined in on the fun by assembling the fallen pacifista and made them go into the ship, destroying it from the inside. Though he used his good old fashioned fist to annihilate any pacifistas that got close to him.
"Newgate! I can't believe you lost to Mugiwara!" Exclaimed Shiki as he caused two pacifistas to slam into each other, destroying it. Keep in mind that Shiki still held the massive ship into suspension, unable to use its weapon to rain hell into Sphinx island.
"You lost to him to our Captain!" Added Byrnndi to which Shiki tossed a rock at him. Instead of getting angry, Byrnndi instead redirected the rock and increased its size and tossed it against a pacifista. "Barororo!"
"Oh? They have joined you now?" Whitebeard said as he tossed another quake infused sphere towards three Pacfisitas.
"Yeah, isn't that crazy?" Luffy delivered a jet stamped to the center of two more pacifistas.
"And you made them young as well huh? Excellent. What are you planning Mugiwara?"
"Well going into Big Mom's territory and waging war on her. But this damned "
"I'm in." Said Whitebeard with a smile.
"Isn't this crazy Newgate?" Bullet stood beside Whitebeard as he punched the neck out of a pacifista. "Gathering under Captain?"
"Yeah Bullet, the last time I've seen you tame, Roger's kicked your ass."
"Kahahaha! Yeah he was one strong bastard, but Captain, in my opinion, is stronger."
"I agree." Replied Whitebeard.
"You guys talking crap?!" Asked Luffy in jest as he was now in Bound Man form, launching a King Kong gun at a Pacifista.
"Hell yeah!" Exclaimed Bullet. As he sent another one flying to which it was sent straight to the deck of the ship by Shiki.
"We're talking mess, I'm in!"
Though the ship suddenly lost its integrity as it began to rapidly descend. Shiki directed it to the ocean water beside Sphinx, the side where a massive mountain would protect the island from the impending tsunami. But just in case…
"Galdino, Katakuri, Gild, I need a wall on the mountain range, a tsunami is coming in." The trio heard their orders loud and clear and went to work. "Zoro and Mihawk, standby on any water that passes the wall." Though Luffy knew that Mihawk could deal with it by himself, he just wanted to see how far they've all gone.
Sure enough, Galdino created a wax wall, Katakuri made a mochi wall, and Gild made a golden wall. Though Katakuri's wall was higher than the other two so therefore it looked like it was flipping off someone. "Excellent job," Whoever called in this damn strike, they now know how the pirates felt.
A fitting imagery, really.
The massive ship began its slow descent and crashed in the ocean. The impact caused a massive tsunami to make its way to Sphinx. The waves eventually crashed against the walls created by the Strawhats, and those which were able to get through, were cut into droplets by Mihawk and Zoro combined.
"Impressive." Commented Whitebeard as the group slowly descended into the ground, celebrating their massive victory against the destruction machine.
Marine HQ
"They are all gone...Pluton is down." Said Sentomaru, as all of the Pacifistas he provided for the Gorosei were destroyed. Initially they were slowly being destroyed but quickly overwhelmed the Whitebeard Pirates. Pluton was a magnificent weapon of mass destruction able to level an island in a matter of minutes. All the feed showed that they were succeeding, until their view was interrupted which was followed by the rapid decline in operational Pacifistas. Then, Pluton was down.
Who would be able to do such a thing.
"It's Mu~gi~wara." Admiral Kizaru entered the viewing room and recognized his handy work. "He is the only man willing to aid Whitebeard, and would be successful in doing so."
"That man is torn on our side. We must deal with him immediately." Said Sentomaru.
"Soon nephew...soon." Said Admiral Kizaru with a smile. Ever since his embarrassing defeat at the hands of said man, he had improved his attitude. A perfect record since that day as he had never failed a mission, a perfect 5,299 out of 5,299. He had been obsessed with killing pirates ever since that day and he could not wait to get his hands on the Strawhat man, he just couldn't
No longer did he enforce unclear justice, his justice was now similar to Akainu, Fujitora and Zephyr. His justice was now absolute justice, all thanks to Mugiwara..
Though in the circle of the most elite of the marines, Mugiwara was on the top of their target list. Admiral Akainu, Admiral Zephyr, Admiral Fujitora and even the suspended Admiral Aokiji.
Strawhat HQ
Meanwhile in the Strawhat HQ, Zeff stood watch of their base as everyone was engaged in rescuing the Whitebeard pirates.
"Hey old man, how's it going." Sanji had just arrived from the portal, returning quickly as he needed to make a meal for the crew as soon as they returned. Plus the Whitebeard pirates were joining them for dinner.
Though Zeff was not moving, acting all weird.
"Vinsmoke Sanji, we require your presence for a wedding." Tamago the knight of the Big Mom pirates had infiltrated the Strawhat HQ as the main forces were busy elsewhere. Accompanying him was Bobbin who was the reason that many of the personnel that remained in the base were sleeping. Careless, it was carelessness that caused the surprise infiltration from the Big Mom Pirates.
"Nobody refuses Mama's invitation." Said Bobbin as he continued to bob his head side to side.
"I say fuck you, not interested." Said Sanji, his feet blazing up as he spun to gain traction.
"Then your entire family will die." Said Tamago with a smile. Suddenly, Sanji dropped his cigarette and realized what he was saying.
Sanji's family was going into the wedding party and they were going to be murdered in cold blood if he did not attend.
"I...fine." Despite how they treated him, they were still his family, and he does not want to stoop into their level.
Sanji began to follow them against his will.
"Sanji, you don't…" But Zeff fell asleep from the power of Bobbin. "...Captain will…" He said drowsily before falling asleep.
Sphinx
"Calibrated the left arms, adjusting thrusters." Franky called on his communicator. He was the last to arrive as he had to prepare his masterpiece.
"You are clear Iron Pirate Franky Shogun." Called Caesar on the other end of the line as he entered through a mirror portal at the same time as General Franky. "Ready to Tango."
Franky exited the doorway,complete in his mechanical masterpiece ready to fight the weak beings that called themselves cyborg. He looked around and then up, suddenly his knees became weak as his mouth was wide open.
General Franky deactivated as Franky hopped out of the robot. He then pointed at the sky, his massive mechanical arm trembling as he followed the ship.
"Pl...plu..plut!" Exclaimed Franky as the massive destruction device began to crash into the ocean water.
"What is it?" Caesar then looked up and finally realized what it was. And he too nearly shit his pants.
How did it come to fruition, he could tell it was Pluton, for he saw the blueprint first hand. Though his mentor, Tom, told him that a ship like this should never be created for it could destroy an entire island without much effort.
Is this why Water 7 was destroyed? Who got their hands on the blueprint?!
"Captain!Franky yelled as Luffy celebrated along Whitebeard, Shiki, Bullet and Byrnndi. "This is Pluton!" Suddenly the mood changed as the participants in destroying the massive vessel were familiar with its name.
"No…" Luffy began as his joy turned into despair. "...how...we need to go to Tom now!" Luffy wanted some answers and he was going to get it.
Strawhat HQ
Luffy entered through the portal at the same time that Sanji was being taken away. He immediately recognized Tamago from his egg shell attire.
"HE FUCKEN SAID NO!" And Luffy covered the distance, slamming his fist against Bobbin's face. Tamago was caught of guard and he too received an ax kick straight through his skull. "Tell Big Mom that she can fuck off. I'll deal with her next."
"Captain, they'll kill my family." Said Sanji, torn at the prospect of saving the very people that made his youth a living hell. His sister is savable, but the rest of them were bastards.
"Not on my watch Sanji, not on my watch." It was then that the strawhats and Whitebeard pirates began to filter in.
Gin and Caesar immediately apprehended the perpetrator.
"No let them go, send a message to Big Mom for me." He then brought up his middle finger. "Tell her to go fuck herself."
