Chapter 8: Confrontation

Totto Land

Smoothie was currently walking towards her mother's room with a lot on her mind as for the past year the entire crew had been busy preparing for a fight mostly making more chess soldiers to fight, as she got to her mother's door, she calmed herself and walked in. "Hello mama, I have been wanting to talk to you," she simply said.

"What is it, Smoothie you are disturbing my snack time" responded Big Mom a little curious as to what her daughter wanted to talk about.

"I was thinking instead of fighting the Whitebeard pirates for my son. Why do we not make some sort of alliance to where Luffy can spend time with us and them as well instead of starting an entire war between our crews" she asked as she did not want to attack her son's current family as they had raised him.

"Mamama, we are pirates Smoothie. The only reason I want my grandson is because he seems powerful. His bounty has increased a lot in 2 years. He would be a powerful subordinate of the crew. Why would I go through the trouble of getting him back if he isn't loyal only to me, when we get him back, I will make sure to break his will and use Pudding's devil fruit to take away the memories he has had with their crew so he will be a loyal powerful asset."

Smoothie just grit her teeth Luffy was her son not some sort of tool. 'I wonder if this is why he took him away from here, because he knew this would happen. I'm sorry mama, I will protect my son even from you she thought to herself. "So, you are making your move now mama?".

"Yes, from the information I got Whitebeard has sent out his 4th division commander to check on some of the islands under his protection so it is the perfect time tomorrow we set out and it should take around 2 weeks to get to Whitebeard" she simply answered to which Smoothie just nodded and left.

On the Moby Dick

"Ughh, how long is Thatch going to be away?" asked Luffy looking out into the ocean.

"I don't know, he has to go check up on some of the islands under our protection to make sure everything is ok yoi. You do know if you do become a commander you are going to have to do that" answered Marco looking at his little brother to which Luffy just nodded.

"Oi Marco think we can train a little bit right now? I don't know but I have a feeling something is going to happen and I just want to be ready" Luffy asked, to which Marco just nodded and moved on to the deck to have a little spar.

Navy HQ

The 3 admirals and Garp were currently all in Sengoku's office as he had called them.

"So why have we been called Sengoku-san?" asked a man in a yellow striped suit in a lazy tone blowing out smoke.

"Damn it Kizaru I have told you to not smoke in my office" responded Sengoku.

"It is not my fault that this job is stressful and what better to help you stay calm than weed" Kizaru responded before taking another deep hit holding it in before blowing out slowly "One of the top reasons I'm here is because I can smoke as much as I want for free and not get in trouble" he said while puffing.

Aokiji just nodded "It's not bad I only use it for better sleep".

Garp just laughed "It's good every once in a while" he said before taking the blunt from Kizaru puffing twice and passing it back respecting the sacred rule "Common Sengoku you got to get a hit, back in the day me and you smoked so much the entire base was filled with smoke and the ships to, Bwahahaha" he laughed.

Akainu just grit his teeth at the stupidity as he believed in 'Ultimate Justice' not any stupid games like the rest were doing right now.

Sengoku just got mad "That was a long time ago Garp! Now we have to talk about something important." he said, mostly getting everybody's attention. "Cipher Pol has reported that Big Mom is on the move and is reportedly moving towards Whitebeard" he finished causing Garp to just take back the blunt from Kizaru and hitting it again.

"Why?" Akainu simply asked.

"We don't know why; all we know is that she is on the move most likely for a fight since she is taking all of her commanders and some other children". The admirals and Garp just nodded as this was actually serious.

"Well, it's most likely for not an alliance Newgate is not the type of person to ally himself with someone like her risking the safety of his family he already learned that lesson back with his old captain" Garp answered head low Sengoku nodded in agreement.

"I want to send some marines to go scout from a distance to see what happens. Aokiji, Garp you 2 will go, but do not make a move under any circumstance this is just to scout so we have information" Sengoku said.

"Why don't we attack them and take them out at once!"Akainu roared, not liking the plan as he wanted to be at a distance in case, they fought so they could take both emperors down.

"Don't be an idiot Sakazuki. Whitebeard could still kill you even if he was on death's door you are underestimating him, the durability of your devil fruit won't mean anything to Whitebeard's or Big Mom's haki. I am sending Garp and Aokiji as I know they will listen and are not an arrogant loose cannon like you" Sengoku answered leaving no room for argument. Soon the meeting finished and they set out to their respective duties.

A couple of Weeks Later

The Whitebeard pirates had barely arrived and docked at an uninhabited island as they wanted to relax and party, as they were currently getting everything to set up camp on the island until the crew member in the crow's nest yelled.

"SHIP INCOMING! BIG MOM INCOMING!" As soon as the crew heard they started running towards the deck and getting their weapons ready for whatever was going to happen as Whitebeard grabbed Murakumogiri and went up the stairs to the top of the whale in front of the ship as Big Mom and her ships got closer.

"Mamamama, it's been some time Whitebeard" said Big Mom while on top of Zeus floating in the sky in front of her ship with her commanders in the ships next to hers as they pulled up next to the island to dock.

"What do you want Linlin?" he asked, eyes narrowed dangerously looking at his former crewmate as she rarely ever left her territory.

"Mamamama, that's not how you are supposed to greet a friend and a former crewmate Whitebeard. To answer your question, I am here for my grandson, Monkey D. Luffy, to take him back to Totto Land " she finished while Smoothie went to the front of her ship.

When the Whitebeard crew heard this all of their eyes widened and Luffys even more as he was looking forward wondering if it was true and the commanders were all looking at their little brother not particularly concerned of his loyalty but curious at what was about to happen.

"Gurarara, do you really think you can come here and say you want me to hand over one of my sons Linlin?" he asked in a dangerous voice, the grip on his weapon tightening trying to figure out where this was going to go.

"You were never the person to hold back a person from following their dreams and doing what they wished Whitebeard so why not let the brat talk to his mom and decide if he wants to come with us or not" she said as she brought Smoothie up to Zeus with her.

When she was up there Marco decided to tell Luffy to go up to where pops was so he could talk to his mom and see where things were going to go. When Luffy got up there he got an even better view of his mother and he suddenly wanted to let out a little cry as he had always wondered who she was, but he held it in as this was not the place for this to happen and he just looked forward.

Smoothie was just looking forward with tears in her eyes at finally being able to see her son in person for the first time. "Hello Luffy. I know you don't really know me as your father took me when you were little. I'm here to see if you want to come with me my son I know you might hate me for never being there and I am sorry.", she said trying to keep her voice from faltering.

Luffy was just looking forward trying to keep a calm expression on his face and emotions in check. "I have wanted to meet you for a long time mom. I don't hate you or blame you for anything. I mean my dad took me away after all, but I can't go with you. I already have a family here, I have brothers and a father that I can not abandon." he said, his voice faltering at the start but back to normal at the end.

"You have your answer Linlin" Whitebeard followed looking forward, if Luffy said he had wanted to go he would it would hurt letting one of his sons go, but as long as he was free he would be happy.

"Mamamama, you little brat. Unfortunately, this isn't a choice and I will take you back and make you, my subordinate. I will break your will and take away your memories!" she roared out.

When she finished all the commanders and crew members had pulled out their respective weapons ready for a fight to protect their little brother and blue flames were starting to engulf Marco ready to start fighting whenever. "You threaten my son with taking away his freedom and taking him away from his family in front of me" Whitebeard said while the sky was darkening and the seas started getting rougher.

"I didn't threaten him, I told him I was going to do it" Big Mom answered while pulling off her hat ordering Napoleon to turn into a sword and holding Prometheus with her other hand.

"GURARARA, then you can try Linlin. It will end just like last time we fought just, but this time I might chop of your head instead" Whitebeard responded as the seas were now restless and the sky filled with thunder and lightning hitting the island off to the side.

Big Mom's ship suddenly fired their cannons towards the Moby Dick but before they could reach Luffy used his devil fruit sending out a shockwave destroying all of the cannonballs coming their way.

Both crews suddenly got off their ship on to the island as they didn't want to destroy their respective ships. Marco turned into his Phoenix form and went flying towards the rival first commander who was about to attack a large group of Whitebeard pirates but brought up both his arms blocking Marcos kick. "You're fighting me yoi" Marco said in a nonchalant voice to which Katatkuri responded by attempting to hit Marco but was blocked as they traded blows moving away from where most of the crew was fighting.

Oven rushed forward, going to take out a large chunk off the opposition until he was hit sending him flying off to the side into the jungle. "I'm going to take care of you," said Jozu walking forward looking down at Oven who was on one knee.

Smoothie did not want to fight but had to so she sent out a slashing attack just wanting to get this over with but was quickly countered with another slash attack. "I can't let you do that" answered Vista with both swords in hand with Haruta next to him. Smoothie looked at her opponents before going forward to clash with Vista while Haruta stood back for now.

Daifuku let out his genie to go and attack while he stayed back but was quickly blocked by Kingdew as the two got into a match trying to push each other back but staying at a stalemate. Daifuku just snickered at having his attack stopped and was even more mad when he saw Jiru next to him. "You can hold off the strong ass genie while I rush from the sides and attack him"Jiru answered, making Kingdew just nod in agreement at the plan.

Luffy was currently taking out a lot of the chest pieces and cannon fodder of Big Mom's crew until a flying slash attack came his way from behind making him jump away and dodge. When he looked back he saw a man with a big sword in his hand with the word Snack on his yellow woolen jacket and next to him was what seemed to be a man made of biscuits with a long beard and a helmet with horns on the side.

"You're coming with us brat" said Snack with his sword in his hand.

"You're going to have to kill me before I ever go with you and betray my family you stupid knock off samurai" Luffy answered the grip on his swords tightening suddenly bringing them up blocking Snack as he had rushed forward attacking. Luffy continued to engage Snack trying to figure out a weakness to his style but suddenly jumped to the side as Cracker came down from behind slamming 2 swords to where he was.

"When are you going to get out of your armor?" he said, looking at the Cracker man as he recalled what Marco told him about it, just being a devil fruit power and the real person either hiding inside or close to the fight. "Oh you know the truth, it doesn't matter I'm just going to knock you out and take you away" he said leaping towards Luffy with his swords and shield. Luffy leaped back to dodge and quickly made a quake bubble at the end of his sword and as Cracker rushed him again he swung it causing a shockwave destroying the armor forcing the real cracker to come out. "My devil fruit can destroy your little biscuits" Luffy replied.

Cracker just grit his teeth as his biscuit armor was destroyed so easily Snack rushed forward again but was suddenly blocked by Teach who came out of nowhere. "Zehahaha, I can't let you gang up on my little brother" he said with metal claws strapped on both of his hands. "I'll help you Teach, I believe Luffy can handle the other" said Izo coming from behind a tree with guns in both of his hands and a sword tucked under his sash. To which Luffy sent a wind blade towards the cracker which he blocked but was forced to block as Luffy rushed him and pushed him back away from Teach and Izo.

Near the coast away from anybody else Whitebeard was looking at Big Mom who held Napoleon engulfed in Prometheus's flames. The two looked at each other before rushing forward, weapons clashing causing the sky above them to split down the clouds not crossing over but seeming to fill into the rift. Whitebeard pushed her back and rushed forward with his bisento swing it down destroying the ground as Big Mom flew back using Zeus and pulled down and used Prometheus to send a fire blast forward to which Whitebeard just spun his bisento blocking the flames making them go off to the side. "GURARARA, I hope that little cloud and warm little flame are stronger for your sake Linlin".

Daifuku vs Kingdew/Jiru

Kingdew was currently engaging and holding off the genie while Jiru rushed Daifuku using his superior speed and jousting lance. Kingdew infused his fist in haki and punched the genie pushing him back before picking him and body slamming him into the ground to which to which the genie easily got up from and pulled out his Halberd and increased in size.

"I will crush you" the genie spoke now several times bigger and brought down his weapon cracking the ground. Kingdew quickly jumped off to the side before launching himself at the genie hitting him in the stomach bringing him to the ground and got on top of him infusing his fist in haki and kept punching the genie in the face cracking the ground underneath.

Jiru was off to the side before disappearing in a burst of speed and thrusting his lance into Daifuku's chest pushing him back and damaging him. "You have to be on guard, Daifuku you have no time to worry about your genie," he said, looking at the man who was on one knee with blood coming from his mouth. Daifuku just grit his teeth as this was bad matchup Kingdew was one of the physically strongest people on Whitebeard's crew which could hold of his genie and on top of that Jiru was off to the side rushing him at random times when his guard is down and he could not keep up as he relied on the strength and not speed.

"You can't win Daifuku you should just give up" spoke up Jiru and soon infusing his lance in haki now seeking either to immobilize him or go for a kill shot until Kindgew came crashing down next to him and when he looked back up the genie was now even bigger than before.

"That's an annoying ability" spoke Kingdew standing back. "I'll take care of the genie for sure this time, Jiru try and keep him down permanently now" he finished before rushing forward to attack the genie.

Jozu vs Oven

Oven was on one knee looking forward at his opponent "Do you think you can beat me?" he asked.

"It ain't much of a challenge Oven you are to arrogant your devil fruit will also not do much against mine as I can turn my body into diamonds not even magma can melt diamonds" Jozu answered before bringing his hands up to block the punch as Oven had rushed him and tried to catch him off guard before grabbing his hand and throwing him threw a tree.

He then soon rushed forward trying to punch and crush him but ended up just hitting the ground, cracking it as Oven had moved out the way. Oven heated up his hand and went to punch Jozu across the face but was blocked by a Diamond covered arm and then punched back with a haki infused punch.

"You will have to fight me differently if you want to win Oven you can't over power me" he said before punching the ground cracking it making Oven lose his balance to which Jozu used the opportunity and went forward infusing his diamond hand in haki and punching him back through dozens of trees. "You should leave nobody here is letting you take our little brother" he finished as he walked forward.

Snack vs Teach/Izo

Snack was currently holding his sword looking at his opponents, the 16th division commander of the Whitebeard pirates and what seemed to be just another random member but he knew he was different as he seemed stronger than just a random lackey.

"You should leave our little brother alone" said Teach coating his claws in armament haki. 'Of course, you can't take him the brat has the power that I am going to take and losing him would be a wasted opportunity' he thought to himself with a grin on his face.

"Even if you do take him pops and all of us will go into Totto Land and burn down all of Big Moms territory then take all of you down so we can have our little brother back" Izo said both his guns in his hand before shooting haki infused bullets at snack which were blocked. "I'll cover you Teach if you need help I'll go in with my sword and we can switch" he said before firing more shots forward to which Teach just nodded and rushed forward forcing Snack to block him with his sword.

"Zehahaha, let's see how strong a Sweet commander really is" he said laughing before swinging pushing him back and rushing forward using his power to push back and barely missing cutting him across the face. "It looks like my haki is stronger than your own so I wonder what you will do commander" said Teah smiling.

Snack grit his teeth and moved and brought down his sword to the right bringing Teach's claw with and was about to punch him back until he got shot in the shoulder by Izo making him fall back and block more shots headed his way. 'Damn every time I try to do damage he's just going to shoot me I was lucky he didn't just go for the kill shot' Snack thought to himself.

He was quickly brought out of his thoughts as he was rushed again but wasn't fast enough to completely dodge the claw and got cut underneath his right eye. "You shouldn't let your guard down, because of that you are going to have a scar" said Teach, making Snack angry.

Snack brought up his sword and brought it down sending forward a flying slash towards Teach forcing him to dodge and he took this to his advantage and quickly went for Izo to try and cut him down but was met with a sword blocking his own. Izo grit his teeth and quickly started parrying the rival commander using the training he received in Wano.

Izo jumped off to the side before sending a wind blade towards Snack which he easily blocked but was cut off guard as the attack was followed by a haki infused shot which hit him in the knee making him stop as the pain was excruciating but had to roll to the side as Teach came from the side still managing to cut him across the chest.

'This is a perfect opportunity to advance my haki' Teach thought to himself. "Commander Izo let me take him on myself" he said before rushing forward clashing with Snack and pushing him back and attempting to cut him down which was easier now as Snack had been shot in the knee and he used this advantage well as Teach kicked his leg and then stabbed Snack in the stomach and punching him through a tree. "Zehahaha, this is disappointing for a commander of a yonko" he said looking at Snack and continuing to attack him.

Smoothie vs Vista/Haruta

Vista was currently attacking Smoothie, pushing her back using his sword skills and experience as a swordsman. Smoothie was struggling as she was not as skilled as a swordsman but she had superior power and that was what was keeping her in the fight as Vista and Haruta switched attacking patterns from time to time staying unpredictable.

"You should let me take my son" Smoothie said before pushing Vista back and sending a massive slashing attack forward forcing Vista to dodge to the side as he didn't have time to counter it before sending one of his own.

"If you really cared about your son, you should let him live how he wants and have his freedom" Haruta answered before sending a slash attack of his one which was easily blocked and thrown off to the side. 'I know, but he is still my son' she thought to herself before rushing forward and attacking.

Vista and Haruta both rushed at the same time forcing Smoothie back as that was the first time they both rushed at the same time almost managing to hurt and slash Smoothie before she kicked Haruta back catching him off guard back sending him flying as her kicks were powerful she was part of the long leg tribe and parried Vista off to the side and punching him,

"Luffy is my son and he will come with me. It's not my fault Dragon took him away and didn't let me raise my son!" she said towards the 2 commanders with tears in her eyes. She loved her son and wanted to bring him with her, but she was still conflicted at heart as she wanted him to be happy and be free and he knew he wouldn't be free if he went back with them and he knew he would hate her for taking him away from the people who raised him and considered as family.

"We're not letting you take away our little brother!" yelled Haruta as he was one of the closest to Luffy as he was one of the commanders who took care of him as a baby feeding him tucking him into bed and changing his diapers. "I would rather die than let you take him away from his family and take away his freedom" he followed as he rushed forward again clashing against Smoothie.

Marco vs Katakuri

Katakuri was currently blocking Marcos' kicks with his weapon Mogura using his advanced observation haki. "You should just let us take him and save you the trouble" he spoke before using his devil fruit and sending a giant haki infused fist forward making Marco dodge.

"You're going to have to kill me before you can take him yoi." Marco said with narrowed eyes still flying in the air. "You're also going to have to do something other than just use that advanced observation" he said rushing forward managing to kick him in the chest pushing him back. Marco was about to rush again until he had to move to the side as a couple of Big Moms subordinates jumped up and tried to attack him from behind which he kicked away easily.

Katakuri just stared forward a little irritated as his fight was interrupted. "We should just get rid of the weaklings around here" he said to Marco in a monotone voice. Marco just landed on the ground and both stared at each other before both of them released their Conqueror's haki sending out little shockwaves and knocking out the people around them.

Both rushed forward clashing in the middle Katakuri blocking Marcos punch and then soon engaging in a fist fight but soon Marco's hands turned into his wings and took off into the air before coming back down with a kick which Katakuri blocked but was pushed back but quickly using his devil fruit to send out a gigantic kick up which Marco easily dodged by flying to the side.

Marco quickly went forward infusing his legs with haki to which Katakuri brought up his weapon spinning it extremely fast and thrusting it through Marco but didn't care as he delivered a strong kick to Katakuris face sending him crashing through trees before Katakuri flipped before his back touched the floor.

Marco simply pulled out the weapon before being covered in blue flames over the area starting to heal himself like nothing happened "You know if you don't hit me with haki these attacks aren't going to do anything yoi, and your going to have to hit me a lot to even damage as my armament is still better than yours" he said before throwing his weapon back to him.

Katakuri just had a stoic expression on his face before making several arms of mochi from his body infused in haki punching forward at a fast pace making Marco fly up to avoid them, but Katakuri had expected this and as he was doing this he concentrated "Unstoppable Donuts Power Mochi" he called out as circles of Mochi formed midair with arms infused in haki catchin Marco off guard and punching him into the ground.

Marco quickly got up but was further surprised when the ground suddenly started moving and then went forward towards him surprising him even more as he took off to the sky but quickly turned his wing snack to his normal arms and infused his arms haki punching the large arms coming forward and pushing them back. He then quickly dived back down and tried to attack Katakuri but was blocked but he soon started fighting him hand to hand went in forward letting himself get him in not as important areas as he could heal them later and punching Katakuri in the face and body to cause the most damage before finally jumping up and kicking Katakuri in the temple throwing him to the side and drawing blood.

"So, you awakened your fruit yoi. That's a surprise not a lot of people manage to do that, but you and I both know that's not enough and you will lose if we keep going and I won't hesitate killing you if it means my little brother stays here" he said now in a dangerous tone he quickly turned into his full Phoenix from and dodging all of Katakuris punches before kicking him back again with his talons and rushing forward again not giving Katakuri time to retaliate as Marco was on top of him again punching him and kicking him back drawing more blood, but as Marco came in again he sent forward a gigantic punch hitting Marco head on.

"Oh this is getting interesting yoi" said Marco wiping a little blood coming out of his mouth it was still far less damaged than Katakuri currently was as he was not used to taking damage as he relied on dodging opponents hit by looking into the future and morphing his body to avoid all attacks.

Luffy vs Cracker

Luffy was currently holding off 3 of Crackers biscuit warriors as they had been fighting for a while and he hadn't even got close to the real body as he just stayed back and made more warriors. 'If this bastard does not come fight me I will just destroy this side of the island' Luffy thought to himself cutting in half another warrior as Cracker clapped his hands and made 8 more now being 10 in total.

Luffy just grit his teeth as he had been fighting the biscuit warriors for 10 minutes, he jumped away from all of them and then got in a stance with his left leg in front and right leg behind while holding his swords of to the side 'You're going to have to fight me your warriors aren't going to protect you' he thinks to himself before pouring haki into his swords "Tengoku no katto!" Luffy calls out before disappearing in a burst of speed towards all of the warriors cutting all of them and the trees and rock in front forcing Cracker to jump into the air to avoid being cut in half.

'I thought this brat was weak what the hell he's beat all of the biscuit warriors I've created' Cracker thought frustrated as he hated fighting because he hated feeling pain and even being in a situation where he could get hit, but was cut out of his thinking as Lufy jumped up into the air and with both his swords above his head sent forward another flying slash attack forcing Cracker to pull out his own sword Pretzel and add haki to it to block it.

When Cracker landed back on the ground, he quickly got to clapping creating more warriors. "Your stupid warriors are getting annoying!" Luffy said irritatedly, making a quake bubble on his sword and swinging it forward creating a shockwave destroying everything in front forcing Cracker yet again to dodge. "Stop running and fight me."

"I don't want to fight and embarrass a brat" Cracker responded and was about to speak again but before he could Luffy rushed him forcing him to bring up his sword and block both of Luffy's katanas. Luffy kept on the offensive going after Cracker trying to cut him and get this over as Cracker kicked him across the face drawing blood before leaping back. Luffy just sent forward 2 wind blades to distract him and give him time. "You aren't going to beat me, my haki is still slightly stronger than yours," Cracker said, blocking and throwing the wind blades off to the side.

Luffy was now focusing on his haki trying to let it flow freely throughout his body he still wasn't even close to mastering Ryuo, but he could still use it to some extent although by the end his armament would be drained and would need time to use it again. "Hahaha, why are you standing still? Have you given up? It doesn't matter you are going to serve mama either way" Cracker said in a mocking tone.

Luffy just grit his teeth at being even more irritated 'Might as well and try and give this a shot in this fight I will try it later' Luffy thought to himself finally letting his haki completely flow freely and further more into his sword. He quickly took off towards Cracker who just brought his own sword to block but was shocked when his sword cracked a little bit when he clashed with Luffy.

Luffy kept going forward on the offensive as now he had limited time he used Soru and started attacking Cracker from multiple sides using his speed and forcing his haki outwards into Crackers sword overpowering his haki and cracking the sword from the inside. Cracker was irritated now as he had to be high on guard dealing with Luffy's speed.

Luffy quickly went back in front pushing him back now holding Sulu in his reverse grip so he could put more power into it he quickly started going forward with more power in his attacks wanting Cracker to focus in front and let his guard down Luffy then called out his next attack "Rakuen no kou!" he said before quickly disappearing yet again.

Cracker quickly brought up his sword up to block from being cut in the face and was quickly blocking as Luffy was on top of him disappearing right afterwards surprising him as he was just a blur he quickly hissed when he got cut on his arm as he could not keep up, even though he tried his best to. Luffy was currently moving as fast as he could attacking Cracker from multiple directions managing to cut him all over his body 'I guess now is the time to try it' he thought to himself. Remembering what Rayleigh said about being able to use Conquerors to make your Armament stronger he focused trying to force his will onto his armament he forced all of haki into his swords. Suddenly what seemed to be black and red lighting started coming from his swords; he then quickly went up into the sky and came back down at full speed. Cracker noticed Luffy suddenly stopped and he sensed him above and quickly brought his sword to block Luffy coming down. Luffy had his sword above his head "Tengoku no ha!" he called out and then brought his swords down with all his power against Cracker managing to break his sword and cutting him cut him over his right eye.

Cracker screamed out at the pain he felt before falling on one knee and putting his hand over his face trying to stop the blood. Luffy was now off the the side on one knee breathing hard as he had put all of his armament into that attack trying to end the fight, but from it seemed Cracker was in pain but not down completely. "You brat you cut me I hate feeling pain!" Cracker yelled out standing up. "You're lucky I can't kill you as Smoothie would kill me, and mama wants to use you, and unfortunately for you I can still make more biscuit warriors he said clapping his hands spawning 20 biscuit warriors."

Luffy just grit his teeth still on one knee breathing hard he quickly wiped the blood coming from his mouth and grabbed his sword in a tight grip 'I might be out of armament, but I still have my devil fruit and I won't fall until I know your down to' he thought to himself making a quake bubble on each of his swords. He quickly rushed forward his observation working overtime so he could dodge the attacks from the warriors and he could get close to Cracker, before rushing forward again he swung his sword straight into the stomach of a warrior sending out a shockwave destroying the warriors and the group behind him and quickly sheathing his sword afterwards now only having one sword with a quake bubble on it. He quickly used Kami-e to avoid getting hit from behind before quickly jumping away and swinging his sword back at the group, destroying the warriors.

Cracker grit his teeth now even more mad as the kid somehow still had enough energy to destroy his biscuit warriors, he was about to make more until he felt a shockwave of power distract him. Luffy now took advantage and rushed Cracker making a bubble around his fist and using Soru to appear in front of him while he was about to clap his hands to make for more warriors causing Crackers eyes to widen, he quickly punched him in the face causing cracks to appear and sending Cracker flying back through trees and a cliff to the opposite side of the island. Luffy now dropped to both knees panting as he was exhausted before falling face forward not even able to grip Sulu in his hand.

"I can't move but at least I beat him now if nobody from Big mom's crew find me whenever Oyaji beats the old hag they will find me and I won't be taken away from my family" he said out loud to himself.

"I wouldn't be so sure about that" spoke Smoothie coming out from behind the trees and a couple of cuts on her body.

Luffy eyes were now wide open but he felt multiple different emotions firstly he was scared of being taken away from his family the second was shocked as to how she was there, finally he was kind of happy but sad at seeing his biological mom happy because he is seeing her after wondering who she was but sad as he might take him away from his brothers and pops.

Smoothie just went forward and picked Luffy into her arms before picking up his sword up and putting it in his sheath. She noticed she was trying to struggle and get out of her grip. "Let me go mom, I don't want to leave my brothers and Oyaji behind. I promised them something and I can't break it" he said tears in his eyes.

Smoothie just smiled but her eyes still helped some pain as she saw that her son really loved the people, he was with but sad as he didn't want to come with her but she understood. "I'm not going to take you away Luffy" she said shocking Luffy as she walked over to a tree and sat him down on her lap while she sat leaning back into the tree.

"Why not I thought that you were here, because Big Mom wanted me to be her subordinate and be part of her crew?" he asked.

"That is what she wanted. I just wanted to see you and see how you were doing. I wanted to know if you were ok and happy if you were free" she said with tears in her eyes. "I also came because I wanted to see what you thought of me and if you hated me for not being there for you, but most importantly I came because I wanted to make sure you ended up being ok and able to do whatever you wanted. I wanted to make sure that if you decided to stay you were going to be able to so I came so I could watch over and make sure. I love you my son" she said playing with his hair tears rolling down her cheeks.

Luffy was just shocked as to why his mother came. He thought she came to just take him back but he realized that she really cared about him and cared about him being free and happy. "I never hated you mom. I always wondered who you were. I always wanted to see you and hug you and finally meet you so I could spend time with you. I could never hate you" he said with tears in his eyes. "I wish there was a way where I could be with you, but I know there isn't and I can't just leave my brothers and pops now as much as I love you, I can't leave".

"I know that plus I have to protect you from my mother so I have to stay there so I know what move they are going to make. It's a mother's job to protect her children and also to let them be happy and follow their dreams", she said kissing him on the forehead.

Luffy just nodded thankful that his mother understood as much as he knew it pained her "We could always try and talk someway" he said as he still wanted a way to talk to her.

Smoothie just smiled before pulling out a little black transponder snail and putting it in Luffy's pocket "That line is only connected to my own transponder snail that nobody can track or tap to listen so you can always call me through there" she said with a smile on her face. "I have to go my son before anybody comes by and sees me here," she said standing up and laying Luffy down hugging him one last time.

"Thank you for understanding mom. I will call you whenever I can and someday, we are going to be able to spend time together and beat up dad for taking me away without telling you." He said crying trying to lighten up the mood.

Smoothie just smiled and kissed him on the forehead before getting up "I'll hold you to it Luffy take care and be free and happy my son I love you" she said before walking away with tears in her eyes but happy that her son was going to able to choose how to live his life. Luffy was both sad and happy at finally getting to talk to his biological mom and seeing that she was a good person but sad as he knew she was sad as she left him there 'I really have 2 good moms' he thought to himself.

Whitebeard vs Big Mom

Big Mom was currently up in the sky before she pulled down Prometheus "Ten ho hi!" she called out Whitebeard simply brought up his bisento before swinging it in a downwards motion splitting the fire making it go off to the side. "GURARA, the fire feels perfect," Whitebeard said laughing.

He then quickly rushed and swung his bisento at Big Mom trying to decapitate her head but was blocked by Napoleon he quickly started engaging Big Mom with his bisento out maneuvering her as Big Mom was not as agile as he was, and managed to cut her arm drawing first blood.

The skies were now thundering even more and the seas looked as if they were going to sink some of the ships, she quickly flew into the sky with Zeus but had to dodge a slash attack from Whitebeard that when it went up to the sky it made it look like it was cut open.

"Heavenly Dominion Shiva's Wrath!" Big Mom called out, making Zeus release large amounts of lightning bolts towards the ground, making Whitebeard dodge. He suddenly jumped into the air with his bisento above his head Big Mom quickly moved Napoleon to block and when they clashed Whitebeard sent Big Mom crashing back down into the ground.

"This is going like that last fight Linlin you still can't beat me" Whitebeard while walking forward.

"Mamama, don't worry I'm not done yet" she said quickly rushing forward clashing Big Mom now had combined Napoleon and Prometheus and had sent Zeus into the sky ordering him to shoot lighting down towards Whitebeard while she engaged him on the ground.

Whitebeard was using his bisento blocking all the attacks while using his observation to dodge the lightning strikes from above he suddenly got struck by lightning but quickly had to bring his bisento up to block a strike from Big mom pushing him back a little. He pushed her off to the side before infusing his arm in haki and punched Big Mom across the face sending her flying back.

Big Mom was bleeding from the mouth but was about to rush back in as she was durable but stopped when she felt what seemed to be Conquerors haki "Who was that Katakuri and Marco already clashed and we felt there haki" Big Mom spoke questioning Whitebeard curious as to who else possessed Conquerors on his crew.

"GURARA, he's not the only one of my sons who can use it" answered Whitebeard with a grin on his face before slamming his bisento on the ground cracking it before engaging in the fight again managing to damage Linlin even more but taking slight damage himself what was the most frustrating to both was that they could both not use their full power unless they wanted to destroy the island causing their crews to fall into the ocean. They kept trading hits until they both felt something heading towards and leapt back Big Mom was shocked as he saw one of her sweet commanders crashing on the ground bleeding from the right side of his face knocked out.

She grit her teeth. 'He was supposed to go after the brat don't tell me he lost to the kid' she thought before seeing Katakuri come from behind injured covered in some blood.

"Mama we have to retreat Snack, Oven and Daifuku have all been beaten" he said before leaping the side dodging Marco who came from above attempting to kick him before leaping back next to Whitebeard. Marco was inured as well, but just a couple cuts on his body with some mild damage but significantly less than Katakuri.

Big Mom grit her teeth before quickly bringing down Zeus picking up Cracker and jumping on it with Katakuri. "I will get him and take away his memories and make him my subordinate Whitebeard" Big Mom said before telling her crew to retreat.

"GURARARA, you will have to kill me before I let that happen Linlin. I will not let you take away one of my sons and most importantly his freedom". Whitebeard spoke before walking away from the side of the island they fought on to go check where he felt the presence of most of his sons and daughters.

When Whitebeard and Marco arrived where everybody was they saw Jozu relatively fine carrying crew members to the nurse tents and Jiru and Kingdew getting checked on by the nurses as they had minor injuries. Teach and Izo were also helping the injured crew while Vista and Haruta were getting treated by nurses as they were mildly injured.

"Where's Luffy yoi?" Marco asked worriedly, thinking the worst as he didn't see his little brother.

"I don't know. Both Snack and Cracker went after him, me and Teach fought Snack while Luffy fought Cracker but we got separated and we don't know where he is" Izo answered.

"Well Cracker came crashing through a cliff onto the ground knocked out so I think it's safe to say the brat won the fight" spoke Whitebeard with a grin on his face proud of his son for being able to defeat a commander of a rival crew, when the crew heard this, they were all shocked as Luffy had defeated a commander of a yonko. Whitebeard then told Marco to fly up into the sky to look for Luffy to which he simply nodded before flying away towards where Izo told him in the rough direction of the island where they last saw him.

Marco flew for a couple of minutes until he finally saw Luffy under a tree sitting down against it. "You alright yoi?" Marco asked worried as he saw Luffy just sitting barely moving.

"Yeah, I'm alright just tired I used up all of my armament in the fight, shishishi" he said happily. Marco just smiled before picking him and taking him back to where everybody else was.

When they arrived, they saw a lot of people in tents but the rest were just drinking partying like originally planned. When everybody saw Marco and Luffy they all broke out celebrating Luffy proud of their little brother for his win. The commanders were now just sitting next to Whitebeard all smiling. "How are you feeling, my son?" asked Whitebeard as Marco put him down against a rock.

"I'm alright just tired and sore I" he said laying back closing his eyes. Whitebeard just nodded in understanding 'The Red-Haired brat recently became recognized as a yonko. I might have to establish a new 2nd division commander" he thought to himself looking at Luffy smiling.

On a Navy Ship

"Bwahaha, my grandson has gotten stronger did you see what he did to that commander Kuzan" said Garp as their ship was moving away from the island where the battle happened as they had been told to keep a distance and lucky knew where the battle was going to happen as a Cipher Pol agent in Big Moms crew had told them the information.

"He is strong for being so young and has a powerful devil fruit as well" answered the admiral lying down with his sleeping mask over his eyes tired as they had been off in the distance watching everything occur.

"Of course, he is my grandson after all, but it looks like Whitebeard hasn't lost his touch as well" Garp said smiling looking off into the distance.

"So, what do we tell Sengoku?" asked Aokiji.

"Just tell him that they fought and the results, but if he asks you why, just say we don't know. He is probably going to get another bounty increase he has been fighting a lot of marines and beat some vice admirals over the 2 years" Garp said to which Aokiji just nodded 'That troublesome brat of mine' Garp thought to himself.

1 Week Later

"Oi Luffy can you do me a favor yoi" asked Marco as they were both on the deck and had barely finished sparring.

"Yeah sure. What is it?" asked Luffy, curious as to what Marco wanted.

"I want you to cut off my arm" Marco replied to which Luffy were now wide open in shock and at how stupid Marco sounded. "I mean when they are transformed into my phoenix wings", Marco replied but Luffy was still confused and hesitant. "It's just that I want to try something out. I have been thinking about" he finished Luffy just nodding and pulling out Sulu and Marco transforming his arms into wings.

"I'm not going to use haki so you can regenerate easier" Luffy said to which Marco just nodded. Luffy gripped Sulu harder before bringing above his head than performing a downwards slash creating a wind blade that cut Marcos' wing, but then Marco suddenly brought up his fingers and suddenly he was controlling the flames that got off to some extent and sending them towards Luffy which he blocked but was surprised when he felt a little shockwave almost making him lose his balance as he had not expected it.

"So, I can do it yoi" spoke Marco with a smile on his face but noticed the confused look on Luffy's voice. "I always just turned into a phoenix to help me regenerate, fly and it also gave me extra physical power I could control which part of my body I summoned the flames at but I could never control them once they got cutoff or separated and the making shockwaves things is new that I have been trying to develop".

"That's going to take you to a new level" Luffy laughed excited at the possibilities Marco could do with his devil fruit. He already knew his devil fruit was one of the most if not the most useful it gave him logia like abilities at the way he could regenerate. The only way you could basically damage him was if your devil fruit caused damage faster than he could regenerate which was not easy or if your haki was that strong and potent which was very few as a majority of people did not have haki at that level and also let him fly which was a good way to travel and not fall in the ocean and drown.

"What are you going to right now yoi?" asked Marco as he wanted to develop the control of his flames.

"I was going to train my haki and swordsmanship than after I was going to work on my speed and lift some weights, but I can work my speed and swordsmanship if you throw those flames at me as fast you can" Luffy simply said to which Marco just smiled before summoning more flames to start the training session.

{III}

Couple Days Later

"Thatchy is finally coming back" Luffy said happily jumping around on the deck as it had been some time since Thatch had gone out for a mission. "There's the ship" he said pointing out towards the horizon where a ship was barely visible.

A couple of minutes later the ship finally pulled up next to the Moby Dick "Oi Thatch your finally back I've missed you. You're never going to guess what happened" Luffy said, jumping forward to hug his brother.

"What did I miss? Did you pull an awesome prank?" Thatch said with stars in his eyes as he wanted to prank everybody there as he had been gone longer than usual.

"No, we just fought the Big Mom pirates, shishishi" Luffy said with a grin making Thatch's jaw drop.

"Why would we fight them?" asked Thach curious as to why they fought and concerned as he was not there to fight as he was one of the commanders.

"Can you believe the hag is my grandma, my mom is even one of her sweet commanders. I even fought and beat one of them," Luffy said happily, making Thach's jaw drop again and face pale.

"Sounds like yall had quite a time when I was gone" Thatch said, looking at the rest of the commanders looking to see if it was true and sighed when the rest nodded their heads letting him know it was true.

"Did you find anything cool on your mission?" Luffy asked with stars in his eyes as he wanted to know.

"I actually found a devil fruit," Thatch said opening the chest he was holding and pulling out a purple looking fruit with small teardrop shaped components with swirl patterns and green leaves sprouting from the top. As soon as Luffy saw the fruit he stepped back a little as he felt an extreme dormant power from inside behind what felt like some sort of barrier while Teach's eyes were wide open and had a grin on his face excitedly as he thought his time had finally come.

"Oi you alright Luffy?" asked Thatch as he saw Luffy step back a little and his eyes were stuck on the fruit.

"Huh oh yeah I just felt weird a moment. Are you going to eat it?"

"Nah, I don't want to be an anchor like some of you somebody has to save you all" Thatch said with a smirk on his face as he saw the devil fruit users all have tick marks on their forehead. "I'll probably just sell it or something. I'll look in the devil fruit encyclopedia later to see which fruit it is, but right now let's have fun" he said looking at Luffy ideas for pranks going through his head. The rest of the commanders and crew all got caught up and the day went on as it usually would.

{III}

Couple Hours Later

Thatch was currently in his room tired as he had barely come from the galley preparing everything for breakfast the next day as he wanted to cook extra for the crew since he had been gone for some time. He was about to turn off the lights and head to bed until he heard a knock on his door 'Who can it be at this time?' Thatch thought to himself a little bit annoyed.

When he opened the door he saw Teach standing there "Hey commander mind if I talk to you a bit. I have something on my mind" Teach said and Thatch simply just nodded and let him in worried about his brother but he failed to notice the grin on his face as he walked in.

Luffy was currently in his room barely had finished cleaning as Marco had told him his room was too dirty and needed cleaning he was about to go to bed until he had a sudden bad feeling in his stomach and he looked toward the front door wondering what it was 'Why do I feel like this? Now I can't fall asleep, I wonder if Thatch is still up might as well go see I have an idea for a prank either way and if he isn't it might as well prank him then go get food from the fridge so he gets mad' he thought to himself exiting the room and heading towards Thatchs room.

Luffy soon arrived at the door and knocked "Oi Thatch you wake? I'm coming in" he said as he opened the door but as soon as opened it and walked in he was grabbed by the throat and slammed against the wall before getting punched across the room. Luffy's head was spinning at what the hell happened. He spit the blood from his mouth and was about to get up until he felt something grab his arm.

When he looked off to the side his eyes were now wide open in shock as he saw Thach covered in blood. "Oi Thatch what the hell happened are you ok? Who did this?" he said in a panicked voice and looked off to the door and saw Teach "Oi Teach go get some help someone attacked Thatch he needs help!" Luffy said, panicking, putting pressure on Thatchs wound.

"Zehahaha, you're still a naive, dumb kid Luffy. Let me ask you who else is in the room and who attacked you as soon as you came in" Teach asked with a smirk on his face.

"Stop messing around Teach your family and Thatch is injured so get some help so we can find out what's going on" Luffy said not wanting to believe anything else wanting to believe someone with a tricky devil fruit snuck on the ship he wanted to believe that his brother wouldn't do this that they would never betray the family.

"Zehahaha, you're still too naive. It was me who did it brat I'm the one who stabbed Thatch and I'm the one whos going to kill you both" he said grinning before rushing Luffy kneeing him in the face knocking a teeth out drawing more blood before he grabbed him by the throat and pinning him against the wall. Teach was about to punch him again until Thatch grabbed his feet.

"L-Let him go; he has nothing to do with this. He's our little brother" Thatch said, blood coming from his mouth gripping Teach's leg as hard as he could with his injuries.

"I can't do that commander he has something that I want, and I never saw him as my little brother to me he was just a brat, but he did become a special brat that I needed to take out because of the devil fruit he ate and to get that power I need to kill him" Teach said grinning about to kick Thatch's head into the floor until he got punched across the face sending him back.

"YOU TRAITOR" Luffy yelled with tears in his eyes he was about to rush in but Thatch had grabbed him by the leg not letting him go. Teach was about to say something but saw a chest under the floorboards and suddenly had a more evil glint in his eyes.

"Luffy get out of here he's going to kill you" Thatch said.

"I can't leave you here, he betrayed our family and if I leave, he's going to kill you" Luffy responded with tears in his eyes.

"Zehaha, I finally found you hid it well Commander Thatch" Teach spoke, opening the chest and pulling out the devil fruit. "I finally have it after searching and waiting all these years" Luffy's fist balled up at Teach betraying them over a devil fruit.

As Teach was about to eat it Luffy rushed him "You bastard you betrayed us over a stupid fruit!" Luffy said as he punched him across the face sending him back and causing Teach to let go of the fruit and Luffy catching it 'Damn I can't use my devil fruit without destroying the ship I just need to send out a blast of haki or something to wake everybody up' he thought to himself and as he was about to do it Teach rushed him and kneed him in the stomach.

"You might be strong, but you are still weaker than me without your devil fruit brat" Teach said, kicking him and sending him back but Luffy still didn't let go of the fruit.

"You traitor! You won't get away with this!" Luffy screamed out. "If you betrayed us for this fruit, I'll be damned if I let you eat it and you're not going to get away!" Luffy said before shoving the fruit in his mouth shocking both Teach and Thatch. Luffy knew what was going to happen but he didn't care as long as Teach didn't get what he wanted as soon as he swallowed, he released a powerful blast of conquerors haki. "I might die Teach, but you aren't going to get away with betraying your family" Luffy said before grabbing his stomach screaming in pain blood coming out his mouth.

"LUFFY!" screamed Thatch trying to crawl forward but could barely move because of his injuries.

"You stupid brat you ate it after planning and waiting all this time" Teach hissed out venom laced in his voice he went forward punishing Luffy even more and killing Thatch on his mind but before he could do anything the door burst open with all of the commanders rushing in stopping in their tracks when they saw Thatch on the floor bleeding from multiple areas with Luffy under a pool of blood face down unresponsive on the floor.

"Teach betrayed us!" yelled Thatch still on the ground tears in his eyes. As soon as the commanders heard this, they all rushed Teach who was still putting up a fight using his armament haki until Marco came in with armament of his own punching across the face through the wall into the hallway where some of the crew that had woken up was. The rest of the commanders quickly jumped on top of him holding him down until a crewmember who had woken up handed them season cuffs and they managed to cuff Teach.

"Oi help me get Thatch and Luffy to the infirmary now!" yelled Marco breaking everybody out of their daze as they quickly rushed over to pick them up before rushing down the halls toward the infirmary. "Oi Luffy get up" yelled Marco running as fast as he could while carrying him with a crewmember carrying Thatch behind him "None of you better die yoi" Marco said with tears in his eyes as kept running. When they got to the infirmary, they quickly put them both down on the beds were the nurses who had recently been woken ran in and started checking on them and treating Thatch and try and find out what happened to Luffy.

"He ate a devil fruit" Thatch said as loud as he could barely whisper anymore but luckily enough Marco heard it.

"What do you mean he ate a devil fruit?" he asked, getting the attention of the nurses who were checking on Luffy.

"Teach betrayed us, because he wanted the devil fruit I found and Luffy not wanting him to have it he ate it before he released his haki to alert everyone," Thatch said before drifting off into unconsciousness making all of the nurses and Marco's eyes widen at the information with Marco falling on his knees knowing if someone ate 2 devil fruits they would die, but the nurses had no time for that and kept working to try and stabilize Luffy and perform surgery on Thatch to stop his blood loss more than the crazy amount he had already lost.

A couple of hours later the sun was barely rising Marco, the rest of the commanders and Whitebeard were sitting down outside of the nursery waiting for news on how their brothers/sons were. Whitebeard had ordered for Teach to be taken down to the cells and for guards to be there watching him in case he tried to do anything. They were all on edge worried about the condition of their family.

Suddenly the door opened and out walked the head nurse. "We managed to stop Thatchs bleeding and stitch him up he's now stable. As for Luffy we managed to stabilize him and he is now in what seems to be a coma barely showing any sign of life he has the slightest show of a heartbeat" she said as the commanders and Whitebeard took in the news.

"Then the only thing we can do is wait and see if he gets up" spoke Whitebeard. "Is Thatch awake?" he asked to which the nurse nodded simply nodded her head confirming that he was awake so the commanders all went into the nurse to speak with him.

"How are you, my son?" Whitebeard asked with concern evident in his voice.

"I'm ok oyaji I'm just worried about Luffy. If I hadn't been off guard Teach wouldn't have beat me as bad. He completely broke my ankles so I can't even walk". Thatch said, looking at Luffy across the room with ivy's all over his body. The commanders and Thatch all kept talking for hours until Whitebeard spoke up

"Well, it is time to deal with Teach" Whitebeard said standing up and walking out to the deck the commanders following behind.

{III}

Once Whitebeard got to the deck, he sat down in his chair the commanders sitting next to him and he called for people to go get Teach. 2 crew members brought out Teach and sat him down in front of Whitebeard. "Teach why did you do it?" asked Whitebeard while looking down pain and disappointment clear in his voice.

"I did it, because I wanted the power and to be the pirate king, I never considered any of you as family, you were just a way to get what I wanted. '' Teach hissed out staring straight into Whitebeard's eyes.

Whitebeard eyes softened a little "I raised such a foolish son" he finished with tears in his eyes. "I love all of my sons, but I cannot let you get away with this Teach" he followed the skys darkening.

"You're not going to do anything old man I will get away and kill the-" Teach said but before he could finish Whitebeard pulled out his bisento slicing his head off.

"Throw him overboard" Whitebeard said as he left the deck and retreated into his quarters, tears visible in his eyes at feeling the betrayal and hatred one of his sons felt while one of his sons' future remained uncertain as he had eaten a devil fruit.

{III}

With Luffy

Luffy opened his eyes and immediately felt pain and fatigue all over his body he laid down for some time until he noticed he was surrounded in darkness. He got up slowly looking around trying to find out where he was "Where am I it's all dark" he said out loud to himself.

"You're in your mindscape, boy" someone spoke, getting Luffy to immediately turn around and on guard but all he could see was darkness.

"Who are you?" he asked on guard.

"My name is Tezcatlipoca I came from the devil fruit you ate" he simply answered, stepping out of the darkness so Luffy could see him.

"So, you're a devil fruit then how can you talk?" Luffy asked, stepping back a little.

"Well yeah basically kind of. I am technically the god of darkness and the night sky and other things" he said whistling in what seemed to be a playful tone. "I usually don't allow people who eat the fruit access to its full power if the other person Teach or whatever his name was ate it, he would not have full access well because it's a dangerous power but you are worthy and you are going to be the person who will eventually take part in a battle that will determine the world and see if I can get revenge for my family or not, you D's are always interesting " he said in a serious tone but amused tone.

"Oi what do you mean get revenge and you're a god and all of that? I already ate a devil fruit and this didn't happen. Am I not supposed to be dead" Luffy said in a confused tone.

"You would be if you ate any other devil fruit than this one" he responded laughing. "You are an idiot just stuffing your mouth with devil fruit after you already ate one, but the thing that I mean for getting revenge is that I used to have a family. I even had a brother his name was Quetzalcoatl we always used to fight all the time but at the end we still cared and loved each other. We were happy and a normal family, well as normal as you can be when you are a family of gods residing your power in respective fruits but it all changed when that bastard Huitzilopochtli turned. He was obsessed with power and wanted to rule everything he came and killed my family, my brother he even killed Coyolxauhqui, his own sister because he wanted power.

"He is the god of the sun and his sister was the goddess of the moon so of course you would expect a rivalry to be there but his sister only saw it as a sibling rivalry but he saw her as opposition, the bastard was always power hungry he even required human sacrifices if you ate the devil fruit he resides in he wanted to be the king of the world and well he is now, he killed everybody else and now the only gods are me and him luckily his sister before she died managed to give me some of her powers so now so I kind of am the god of the moon to and get an even bigger boost in power during the night than originally" he explained his hands balled up in a fist.

When Luffy heard his eyes widened in shock at what he heard he could not imagine losing his entire family and being essentially by yourself. "So, you think I can beat him? Can we even kill him after he killed all of those gods?" Luffy said, his hands trembling.

"Of course, you can't you're still way too weak even I wouldn't be able to by myself after he found his perfect vessel and has been working with him for longer," he said, chuckling pain still evident. "But since I have the power of his sister I can and also since if you ever awaken the fruit which is totally up to how you do, we definitely can. After all, Mictlantecuhtli put his power and some of his spirit in here since before he passed, I mean I was the only one who could take and store all of the power since darkness is infinite and me and him were closely related" he said looking down.

"I mean who would I be to not try after they gave their lives to save me and power to use in the future. They knew I was the only one they could give their power to without it destroying me. Mictlantecuhtli was the god of death by the way he can essentially kill anything he wants even gods but he was peaceful and stayed out issues and couldn't bring himself to do anything when his wife Mictecacíhuat was captured so he gave his life thinking she would be spared but before he did, he gave me his power to store and he made it to where it can only be used when you awaken the fruit so until then the only one you can talk to is me" he finished.

Luffy was just trying to absorb all the information. "I'll try my hardest as long as you help me, but you need to explain everything you know to me, and I need something else to call you no offense but your name is hard to remember" he said looking forward.

"If I wasn't going to help you, I would have never talked to you in the first-place you idiot and I was getting to it, and well sometimes they called me Smoking mirror" he finished to which Luffy just face palmed.

"I'll just call you Tezca," he said sitting down. "Now explain to me if there are other devil fruits like you other than the other god and what are my powers now?" Luffy asked.

"Well, there are only 2 god fruits including me but there are 8 other fruits who can communicate with the person that eats them if they consider them worthy. The fruits are the Pika Pika no Mi, Hie Hie no Mi, Magu Magu no Mi, Mera Mera no Mi, Mizu Mizu no Mi, Goro Goro no Mi, Kyofu Kyofu no Mi, and the Taifu Taifu no Mi. Remember they are not God fruits like us only fruits with a conscience the only 2 God fruits left is the Yami Yami no Mi which is me and the Taiyo Taiyo no Mi which is the sun fruit where Huitzilopochtli resides. As for your powers you control darkness so you can make your body intangible, cancel out other devil fruit powers with contact, travel through shadows even human ones but people can block you from using their shadow to travel through them if their haki is strong enough. You can also create weapons of darkness or coat your weapons in it, and you have a darkness dimension of your own where you can store things or go yourself into the dimension, you can also control gravity you can't control it to the extent of the Zushi Zushi no Mi but you can increase it a lot on yourself, other people, objects you can even make it to where you can fly by controlling the gravity on yourself and other things we will get to as we develop your powers. As for the darkness the natural enemy of your fruit is the Pika Pika no Mi and the Taiyo Taiyo no Mi well of course because one fruit is light and the other is the sun. Also, if you awaken the fruit, it will essentially become a mythical zoan as you will be able to turn into me and Mictlantecuhtli but same goes for the other god fruit the other user has an awakened fruit so he can turn into his god so right now you are extremely weaker than him" he finished off.

Luffy had smoke coming from his head "Those are a lot of things to take in" he said.

"There are still many other things like you can even transform into a jaguar as that was always the animal, I disguised myself as" he said his arms crossed to which Luffy just had a raised eyebrow at why that animal which Tezca noticed.

"They're cool alright don't judge me" he shouted at Luffy. "But either way you might want to wake up you've passed out for a week" he finished making Luffy's eyes widen.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN A WEEK?!" he said yelling at the top of his lungs.

"Well, your body was pretty beat up and it took some time for me to judge if you were worthy or not and to absorb the Gura Gura no Mi so it wouldn't kill you" he said shrugging his shoulders "So you might want to wake up."

"What about you?" Luffy asked.

"I'm part of you, you're always going to able to talk to me in your head or use the darkness to make an avatar of me to bring me to the real world I wouldn't have my power but it would have my consciousness we aren't one in the same yet until you awaken the fruit then you me and Mictlantecuhtli powers will be combined and you can turn into us when you choose to" he finished.

Luffy just stood up "Alright Tezca. Thank you for saving me by the way and we will definitely win when the time for that fight comes. I promise, shishishi" Luffy said with a grin on his face to which Tezca just smiled before waving his hand sending Luffy away so he could regain consciousness.

{III}

Luffy opened his eyes but was quickly blinded by the light. He groaned before sitting up careful not to mess with the wire and ivy's all over his body he was quickly brought out his thoughts when he heard something drop on the ground when he looked to the side and saw a nurse with her eyes wide open and tears in her eyes, he was about to say something until she took off running yelling that he was awake.

Soon all Luffy heard was his name being called as he was rushed and was hugged by multiple people "LUFFY!" all of the commanders yelled as soon as they walked in and jumped towards him hugging him.

"How are you, my son?" Whitebeard asked with a smile on his face.

"I'm alright, just tired and have a lot of things on my mind" he said looking down, getting the attention of the commanders and Whitebeard.

"And what would that be?" Whitebeard asked concern in his voice. Luffy sighed and just started telling them about everything that he knew but leaving out the information about the other god fruit and how he and that person would fight eventually as he didn't want to involve his family.

"That's a lot to take in yoi" Marco said sighing. "But that devil fruit just sounds overpowered" he finished.

"Well, it's not like I can use all of the abilities he did say I have to learn them and train with the fruit" Luffy said chuckling at the training Tezca was about to put him through.

"I'm glad you're alright you little devil" said Thatch with tears in his eyes sitting in his wheelchair next to Luffy.

"I'm glad you're ok to Thatch" said Luffy with a smile but had pain in his eyes remembering the betrayal from Teach.

Whitebeard just had a smile on his face before he decided to speak "I have a question for you son?" he said looking at Luffy getting everyone's attention. "I think it's time the 2nd division gets a new commander and I would like it if you took the position" Whitebeard finished making Luffy's eyes widen.

"Of course, Oyaji," he said smiling.

"Oi time for a party" said Thatch, but was quickly hit on his head by the nurses as they said they needed to do a check up on Luffy before he could leave the infirmary.

As soon as the nurses finished checking up on Luffy they all exited to go to the deck to party and celebrate the new division commander even Whitey Bay was there as she had made her way there when she heard what had happened. The 2nd division was happy that they finally had a new commander and the party went on for the rest of the day and night.

"HAHAHA, things are going to get interesting,'' said a man.

"What is it?" another person spoke.

"Nothing just that the other brat finally picked the host for our ultimate fight".

"And are you not going to go kill him Huitzilopochtli?" spoke the other person.

"Why would I? I want a good fight. It's been too long since I had one. I also just sense that he finally picked a host as I felt his power surge but I can't track him."

"I guess a fight would be good" spoke the other man.

"We are already the king of the world; nothing can stop us" Huitzilopochtli spoke. "Not a lot of people even know we exist. Most people think that the Gorosei rule the world but they bow to us" he finished making the other man laugh out loud as he sat on a huge red and gold throne with the symbol of the world government in the middle.

"I wonder what my little brothers would say if they knew I achieved my goal" the man spoke. "I mean it did hurt them when they thought they killed me but luckily I had found the man with the Ope-Ope no Mi so he could perform the Immortality Operation and soon afterwards I was finally able to awaken my fruit so we could reach our ultimate power" the man laughed.


Authors Note

Hope you enjoyed. Also I know I am going to receive questions as to how the Mizu Mizu no Mi is going to work so lemme say this rn. Yes the user is going to be able to swim but he will still be weak to Seastone and the water he produces will not weaken other devil fruit users if he hits them with it or drenches them it. It would also be weak to the Goro Goro no Mi and the Hie Hie no Mi for obvious reasons.

Yes I implemented some Aztec gods into the story but of course I changed somethings and I know the names are confusing and this is really the only chapter where I will use their full names I already gave Tezcatlipoca a nickname (Tezca) and I will give Huitzilopochtli a nickname when he is mentioned again as well. I never really had anything planned for Teach so I killed him.

I used Google translator for the translations so don't kill me.

Tengoku Katto- Heaven's Cut

Rakuen no Kou- Paradise Rainfall

Tengoku no ha- Heaven's Blade

Ten no hi- Heavenly Fire

Kyofu Kyofu no Mi- Gale Gale Fruit (Wind Logia).

Taiyo Taiyo no Mi- Sun Fruit

Taifu Taifu no Mi- Typhoon Fruit (Storm Fruit: Paramecia)

As for the rest of the devil fruits their canon most of you know them and if you don't well I don't want to make the end notes longer than they already are as I know some people don't read this.

About Marcos ability to control fire and all of that with the shockwaves well iykyk I do not want to spoil people. But let me just say Marco is a GOAT.
