Alright I'm jumping on the bandwagon! Another first in a category! One Piece x Hazbin Hotel Crossover! Newgate in the world of Hazbin Hotel/Helluva Boss, and yes both stories will involve him in some capacity.

"It's not you Teach. The one Roger was waiting for, it's not you." The mighty Whitebeard said, two holes in his chest, blood covering the whole front of him. The very act of him being able to talk shocked everyone, pirates and marines alike.

"W-what! How? How are you still alive?" Blackbeard, otherwise known as Marshall D. Teach asked in shock, pretty much demanding the answer. "And what do you mean it's not me?!"

Whitebeard let out a mirthless chuckle, "It'll never be you Teach. You'll never become Pirate King, that rubber brat is more likely to be it than you. Like Roger, there are others who will inherit Ace's will, MY will. It doesn't matter what you do Teach, you'll never find it, and even when you think you're on the cusp of reaching it, someone will stop you from ever reaching it."

The old, dying man took a deep breath as Sengoku glared down at him. Whitebeard look up at him with a smirk. "Sengoku… you and your world government are afraid, afraid of the man that will challenge the world to a fight, and you know you won't win. He'll turn the whole world upside down upon finding that treasure. And he will find it."

Sengoku growled, a vein crossing his head. "Don't you dare…"

Whitebeard took a breath and yelled as loud as he was still able to, "ONE PIECE! DOES EXIST!"

Sengoku growled. "You bastard!"

Whitebeard smiled somberly. 'I am sorry my sons. I didn't mean for any of you to be harmed, but a father must let his family fly the coop and grow on their own. Ace, Thatch, I'm sorry I couldn't bring Teach to justice.'

And on that day, the Worlds Strongest man had died. The territories that were under his protection would weep in sorrow for the man, the father, that saved them and protected them. But our tale doesn't end there.

Purgatory

Whitebeard had found himself not falling but floating down until he hit the ground. He noticed that he was younger, about the same age as when he used to clash with Roger. He looked around and walked, seeing a blank open area until he came to a desk. He saw there were two people arguing there, an angel from the looks of it and a demon as he raised an eyebrow. "Excuse me, could one of you perhaps tell me where I am? I acknowledge the fact that I'm dead, but where is here?"

Lucifer and Michael turned to the new arrival, putting their argument on hold. "Ahh yes, Edward Newgate. Great pirate of the 16th century, world changer, emperor of the seas. It's nice to meet your acquaintance, I am the Archangel Michael."

The angel took a bow, which made Newgate raise an eyebrow as Lucifer scoffed. "Kissass. I'm Lucifer, ruler of hell. That twit making himself look like a fool is Michael, right-hand of God and the leader of angels. As to where you are, you are in purgatory."

"Purgatory? Why?" "Well that's where our little argument was going. You see, me and the big man upstairs can't decide where to send you. You've committed soooooo many sins while you were a part of the Rocks pirates- "Newgate flinched at the mention of his old captain. "But after you left him, even while with him, you committed a great deal of heroic deeds. Some that can nullify your sins, hence why you're here."

Newgate's expression softened. "Thatch, Ace, Roger, where are they?" Michael sighed softly. "For the crimes that Roger committed against your government, even though that the government couldn't even be called that, he was sentenced to hell. Thatch, the only sin he really committed was being on your crew, so he is in heaven."

"And Ace?" Newgate muttered, slightly glaring. Lucifer walked up to the giant of a man, making his size decrease to seven feet tall as to better talk to him. He proceeded to place a hand on his shoulder with a somber expression on his face. "They forced me to send him to hell." Newgate growled.

"Before you start, I understand why you feel the way you do. I have a daughter myself; my wife Lilith just gave birth to her. Ace's sins consist of murder, abandoning your orders, letting his pride in himself and you get in the way of seeing what needed to be done, and abandoning his brothers, Luffy and Sabo, along with the many sins he committed as the captain of the Spade Pirates."

Newgate's gaze became fiery. "No. No child that has suffered as much as he has should be sent to hell." Michael's expression softened as he smiled. "And with that attitude of yours Edward, you are permitted to entry to Heaven."

"NO!" He roared, shocking the archangel, and fallen angel. "I will not leave my son in hell!" He glared fiercely at the archangel. "That place is not meant for me. I lost many of my children at Marineford, all to save one. I broke my promise to Roger to look after his son. In all of my strength and wisdom, Roger had more of it. I demand that Roger and Ace takes my place, I know Rogue is there waiting for Roger already, but I will not stand here to see a family be separated."

Lucifer looked shocked as Michael narrowed his eyes. "So that's your answer. The Father will be disappointed in losing you." "I don't care! You will redeem Portgas D. Ace and Gol D. Roger now!"

"You forget your place Newgate! You think you can command the Holy Lord on who he choose to accept and to send to hell?" He brandished his sword (think of the swords used by the Archangels from Heroes of Might and Magic 5). "It's a quick way to earn your second death!"

Newgate looked at Lucifer. "If you're able to pull anything from the living realms, give me Murakumogiri." Lucifer nodded and with a snap of his fingers, the infamous blade of Edward Newgate appeared as he gripped it.

"In time I hope that you and God will forgive me for what I will do to you, Michael. I hope Thatch will be okay in Heaven and that no harm will come to him, or any of my children that end up there. But I will not stand here and let a great man and his son reside in a place that they do not belong."

Newgate jumped with Murakumogiri in hand as Michael charged at him, the angelic weapon and the legendary blade clashed, causing a great shockwave to be felt throughout purgatory. What they didn't know, was that the clash was felt outside of the realm of waiting.

Hell at the same time

Lilith looked up, nuzzling her baby princess. "Lu Lu, what's going on in purgatory?" She asked softly in worry.

In Heaven

God looked down at Purgatory and sighed softly. (picture Zeus from God of War) "You would've been beloved here Edward Newgate. Your parents were here waiting for you, as was the crew that was waiting for you. I am not a vindicative man, but I will not let this clash occur." He stood up, grabbing a blue blade (picture the Blade of Olympus, once again from God of War) and disappeared from his place.

Purgatory

Newgate glared at the Archangel who was holding back his blade. "I will not back down Michael, send Ace and Roger to meet Rogue." Michael growled. "Never! They will never see her; they will spend an eternity in hell!" Newgate's expression turned outright murderous at the archangel's words.

"ENOUGH!" A booming voice said, his blade clashed with the two and launched them both back away from each other. "Michael, this is not what you sent you do." The angel stood up slowly before kneeling. "My lord I- ""I do not wish to hear it."

The king of the heavens looked at the great emperor, seeing that he only slid him back and not knocked him back. "Edward Newgate, I've heard your demands. Why do you wish to give up your chance at paradise for these two?"

Newgate's slightly pained expression turned into a soft one. "I'm sure you're aware of my life, lord. Roger was one of the few that held my respect and didn't wish for his son to be seen as his spawn. He wanted Ace to live his own life, breach out on his own and not live in the shadow of Gol D. Roger. Ace, he died young. He didn't deserve what the Navy was going to do, he didn't deserve to die for the sins of his father. You saw it yourself; he gave his own life to save that Straw Hat brat of a brother."

God nodded his head softly, frowning softly. "Aye, I understand. I gifted Humanity my son and they killed him for what he was able to do. He died for their sins. You were willing to sacrifice yourself to save him at any cost. I will grant you your request, Edward Newgate. But the price for that request is grave. This clash against Michael was felt by all denizens of Heaven and Hell. The angels have mobilized for war in case Michael was defeated. I will have to damn your soul to hell for all eternity."

Lucifer was shocked by the words of the Lord as Newgate nodded. "I will do it. I'd like to have a last word with Thatch, Ace, and Roger before I'm sent to hell Lord." God nodded. "You can speak with them. I'll allow it."

The Holy Lord and Michael left, leaving Lucifer and Newgate there. "You clashed with Michael, something I haven't done in many, many years. Edward, by all accounts, that's impressive."

A man with a pompadour hairstyle ran up to them and hugged Newgate. "Pops!"

Newgate laughed softly. "It's been a long time, Thatch." He wrapped an arm around him and hugged him softly. "How have you been son?" Thatch had tears streaming down his face. "I'm sorry pops! I let my guard down! If it wasn't for me, you and Ace wouldn't have died!"

Newgate let him sob, smiling softly. "It's not your fault Thatch, it's mine. If I had known that Teach was after that fruit… I should've known that there was something sinister in his heart."

Thatch wiped his tears away. "So you'll be coming up with me to Heaven, right pops?" Newgate shook his head, shocking the former fourth commander. "I'm sorry Thatch, but I won't. I told them all at Marineford that there was no ship for me that would take me to the New World. This includes even here; I'll make sure all of you are reunited in Heaven. I'll atone for the sins I've committed in my past, as well as the sins of my crew, to ensure you're all together."

Thatch had tears running down his face. "B-but pops… we're not a family without you!" Newgate grinned softly. "I can't keep you all from being yourselves. Everyone has to leave the den when they grow old enough, I made the mistake of keeping you all for too long. Thatch, I want you all to be happy and live your afterlife without me. The others will be joining you soon, I want you to look after them. I'm unsure if Marco will ever join you, but if he ever does, he'll help you. Once Ace arrives, I'll give you and him my final farewells."

Ace arrived soon after, being flanked by Roger. "Pops! Thatch!" He hugged the both of them, the wound he had suffered in life was gone in death.

"Ace…." Newgate started, looking down at his wayward son. "I'm sorry. I was a terrible father. I let you go after Teach; I should've stopped him myself as soon as I could. I wrote it off as an issue I could deal with at a later time, only for the time to pass me by and it ended up with you being kidnapped by him and sent to Impel Down, and summarily dead at the hands of Akainu."

Newgate had a few tears drip down into the void-like room, shocking his two sons. "Now I'm here, and I'm worried that Teach will kill the rest of my crew, using my power no less. I'm sorry boys."

Ace had tears streaming down his face and bit his lip. "No pop, it's my fault! I should've listened to you! I was so blinded by Thatch's death, and the pride of being your son that I was overconfident in dealing with Teach. I didn't know he had researched that fruit through and through, thinking I could handle him since he didn't have the fruit for very long!"

Newgate stood up. "No, it's not your fault Ace. It never was. I've bargained with God; you can finally meet your mother." Ace was shellshocked. Newgate looked out at Roger. "You too Roger, Rogue has been waiting to meet you both I presume."

Ace looked back and saw Roger walking towards them. "Newgate." He took off his hat, sniffled softly. "Thank you, for watching over Ace. And thank you for allowing us to ascend to heaven. It'll be nice to see Rogue again after a long 20 or so years." He slammed his blade down in the ground, putting his hat on it.

Newgate nodded softly, the clear sign of him being done with his past. "Roger, we've had many clashes throughout the years. It's the least I could do, for an old friend. Rogue will be glad to see you again, I just wish I could've prevented her from seeing Ace so early."

Roger draped an arm around Ace's shoulders. "You did your best, Shirohige. I think it's about time we all headed home, I've got someone who wants to meet you after all, son." Ace bit his lip softly and nodded.

Newgate grinned softly. "Knowing who we are Roger, we'll clash again someday. But for now, enjoy the time with your family, you've earned it." Newgate looked at Ace and Thatch, smiling. "Goodbye, my sons."

The three men vanished as Lucifer was silent throughout the whole thing, letting Newgate bid his farewells. "Hell has been a mess lately; I could use someone to try and organize it a bit. How would you like your old powers back, Newgate?"

Newgate grinned and laughed. "I'm fine with that, and do not worry. I won't cause you any unnecessary troubles with my stay! Gurarara!"

Lucifer shook his head and despite himself, he smiled. "You'll have the highest authority under myself, my daughter and my wife. How about I allow you retain your title of Emperor?" (1)

Newgate smirked softly. "I can work with that Lucifer. I won't look to overthrow you or anything of the sorts. All I have ever wanted is a family, and I got that in life. In my new afterlife, I will rebuild that family in whatever way I can."

And thus, the mighty Whitebeard became the first and only Emperor of Hell. Only second to Lucifer and his family. The great chaos of hell was quelled by the Emperor, bringing in a more civilized version of Hell. Over the years, Hell would face great challenges: The attempted coup of the former French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, the arrivals of Whitebeard's former emperors Charlotte Linlin and Kaido and the war that followed, the beginning of the overpopulation of Hell and the subsequential introduction of "Extermination Day", the grand resurgence to Hell from both of the World Wars and the rise of the Overlords. (2)

With the changing of times in the human world, the times changed to match them in Hell. The introduction of radio, television and many other modern-day inventions was something that the Emperor had to become adjusted to. Speaking of the Emperor, upon his arrival to Hell his giant form changed to that of a demonic gorilla: protective and family orientated, as well as suiting his capabilities of changing size at will, the power of his now literal devil fruit, and of course, his trusty weapon: Murakumogiri. His usual height was that of ten feet tall compared to the almost twenty-two feet that he was in life, he wore a green suit with a red tie, with a white and red jacket that hung from his shoulders. With his new attire, and the changes that had happened in Hell throughout the years, he had a finger or ear in everything of the seven rings of Hell. His main office of Newgate Industries was founded in the Ring of Wrath.

Newgate had spread the corporate decisions throughout his board of directors, ranging from various demons of shapes and sizes and backgrounds, but all of them knew that he was the head honcho. No one could override his decisions, especially not after one such CEO tried to and was swiftly dealt with. Newgate found that his devil fruit powers could expel souls, much like the Exorcists. Having taken out a few to protect his employees, he found some of their angelic weapons and managed to combine their metals into Murakumogiri and made it even stronger.

He was walking in town, keeping his infamous naginata in a pocket dimension as he was on the phone. "No I'm not accepting any interview requests from that damn Katie Killjoy. I know what she wants and how she operates, she can screw off for all she cares about." He stepped out onto the road as a car speed at him. He turned his head to see the oncoming vehicle and held his hand out as the car slammed into him. "Give me a minute Courtney, someone ran a light and nailed me."

He pocketed his Voxphone and saw a little imp coming out of it, cursing obscenities. He walked towards the imp. "Are you okay sir?" He asked in his boisterously loud voice.

The imp shook it off. "F-fuck yeah I'm fine. A-anyone got the number of the asshat I ran over back there….." He looked towards the demon he ran into and had a look of panic and fear on his face. "M-mister Newgate, sir!" Newgate laughed heartily. "It's fine my boy! What happened that you were speeding through my fine little city here?"

The imp shuddered softly. "This girl that I was dating told me that she loved me, and I took off in her car. I just maxed out her credit cards in a panic because I don't know what to do! My ex said the same thing to me when I was on trial for a crime I didn't commit, and the facts came out that she was the one who actually did it and not me!" He sobbed softly, falling onto his knees.

Newgate, the kind soul that he was, even for a demon, knelt down and patted his shoulder softly. "There there, it happens. At least you're okay. Tell me son, what's your name?" The imp sniffled softly. "B-Blitzø sir, but the O is silent."

Newgate smiled. "Tell me Blitz, look back that way and see all the damage you caused." They did so, looking back at the street that Blitz rampaged through in the car, spotting several dead demons. Blitz cringed slightly as Newgate laughed. "They'll be reborn since their souls aren't impacted by this kind of shit, but you did an excellent job. Tell me Blitz, how would you like to start up an assassination business? I've had many of my employees complaining about unfinished business in the human world and I feel with your killstreak cred here, you'd be perfect for it."

Blitz's eyes widened and watered. "Y-you believe in me sir? I won't let you down!" The little imp shook Newgate's hand rapidly, causing the gorilla demon to laugh. "Great! I've got just the place for you to start out at, it's in Imp City. If it goes well, I'll provide you with better equipment and possibly a bigger workplace. You've got to start somewhere right?" He said with a grin as the imp nodded, not wanting to disappoint him.

"The way I work Blitz, I'll let you have full control of it and I'll get you started up with basic equipment and a flow of contracts. Once you've been at it for a while, I'll let you take full reigns of the job with me only checking in every now and then. While we may be in Hell Blitz, I do expect honesty." Newgate said before his expression turned serious, which made Blitz cower. "Because if you lie to me, you won't like the results. Understand that son?"

Blitz nodded his head rapidly before Newgate smiled. "Great! All of my employees are granted access to all of the rings for business and personal reasons, just don't abuse the personal too too much." He laughed loudly, causing Blitz to laugh with him in nervousness.

And there's that! Whitebeard takes Roger's place in Hell, as well as redeeming Ace for his past deeds. I understand that God is all powerful and whatnot, this is only a fanfiction, so no one come at me with their religious beliefs and crap, but he is seen as forgiving. So yes, Lucifer has Newgate in Hell, Newgate's the big man in Hell right after Lucifer of course since ya know, Luci's the top guy there. Before anyone asks, yes Teach was dealt with by Newgate, and is perma-dead. No coming back. And we got a start-up to the Helluva Boss part of the story, the next chapter will be more of the Hazbin side with a few others.

(1) Yes I know, Emperor is technically a ruler role, but as Lucifer is literally the only person Newgate has to answer to, I made it a higher-ranking role. And until we get more of a hierarchy from Vivzie, this is how I'm going with it. At the top is Lucifer and his family, and then Newgate. Then it's the Seven Deadly Sins and their respective rings, with the Overlords being the fifth power and the royal families, such as Stolas and Charlie's ex-boyfriend's family being the fourth power.

(2) Expect this in most of my writing, but for those who require a voice for every little thing, the narrator voice is Gaia's voice from God of War.

If you haven't already, I have a poll running on my profile on what story ideas I should do, as well as my other stories such as Outworld's Black Hole and An Impactful Quirk. You should check those out too! You wouldn't want to make Charlie sad and make her fetch Alastor on you would you?
