Hello everyone, I hope you like this chapter.
Chapter 20
Naruto's eyes narrow at seeing the marines resume to shooting at them but not before Ace spoke.
"Stay sharp, you two! Let's take 'em all out!" Hearing his words the two could only agree which both Naruto and Ace's arms are consumed by there respective element.
"ENKAI/WATER NEBULA!" The two yelled unleashed a combination of attacks the combined to create a large cloud of steam to block the eyes of the marines as well as the Pirate allies.
"HIBASHIRA!" Word that one word a large pillar of fire came down from the steam cloud, only to hit the ground and spread out hitting all the marines that were within its area making it appear as an upside down mushroom cloud. The marines caught in the explosion were sent flying while others such as the Pirates withstood the impact while being a safe distance away.
"Damn..." Was all Naruto said as he stood behind Ace who had his left dust on the ground next to a smiling Luffy.
"THEY'RE STRONG! BE CAREFUL!" One marine yelled just as the flames cleared to reveal the threes standing in an area of no flames, a small inner circle.
"Can you fight, Luffy?" Ace questions Luffy who responds with an answer the two liked to hear.
"By the way, who's your friend?" Ace asked Luffy while he was glancing at Naruto who does the same.
"I am one of Luffy's subordinates, you may know me as the spirit of "The Going Merry" I was with Luffy up until my time was up as there ship." When Ace heard that, he tried processing his words and could only say a single sentence.
"THAT MAKES NO SENSE, WHAT ARE YOU, THE SHIP VERSION OF PINOCCHIO?!" Ace yelled in clear disbelief gaining a sigh from Naruto while Luffy just smiles at he scene.
"I'll explain later on how to make what I said easier to take in. But right now welllllllll..." He stops there with the three going back to back, surrounded by the marines with about two dozen guys aiming there guns at them.
"This is your execution stand!" With that said they all opened fire but the bullets just couldn't pierce Luffy's rubbery body but stretch out while both Naruto and Ace just stood there with there body parts turning into there respective elements with bullet holes, much to the shock of the Marines at witnessing it up until Luffy sent most of the bullets fired right back at them.
"NOW! TAKE HIM DOWN!" One marine yelled with another located on Luffy's right while he was on his left, seeing and hearing this the straw hat captain didn't do anything because Ace pushed his head down while balancing on his head with the swords just passing through him.
"He's my little brother." When Ace said that, the two where sent away by a powerful blast of water with Naruto standing in front of the two.
"And my captain, back off you assholes." Naruto said before drawing his right leg back.
"WATER SLICER!" The ocean King yelled as the swung his right leg to unleash a wave like blade of water that form out of thin air, sending it at the many soldiers drawing blood as it slashes past and stops when it hits one Marine head on.
"HIKEN!" Ace yelled with his right fist I leading a large blast of flames that consumes many Marine's painfully. Seeing those two attack, Luffy activates Second Gear and countered three high speed marines by appearing on top of the three while spinning.
"GOMU GOMU NO JET STAMP!" Luffy yelled with his feet slamming into the three, faster then they could see.
"HIGAN!" Ace yelled with his fingers pointing outwards as he fired flare like bullets, acting as a machine gun with his flares hitting the soldiers. Behind him a marine held a large club, while being a few feet above him.
"DIE!" He yelled but could not do anything after a cost like impression appears on his left ribcage and was sent flying after that. Seeing this, Ace looks to his right to see Naruto with his right arm extended where the guy was hit.
"Watch your back better." Naruto told the fire user who smirks while breathing out; the marines could only stare at the three in shock while taking steps back.
"Get moving, Luffy! Let's hurry up and get out of here!" Ace told his brother who just smiles.
"YEAH!" He yelled in excitement.
"I'll lead the way this time!" With those words spoken from Naruto, he was the first to start charging followed by Ace then Luffy.
Naruto takes a great inhale of air soon to show his cheeks puffing out.
"Water... SEVERING WAVE!" When he yelled the last part, Naruto spews out a high pressure stream that is powerful enough to cut cleanly through the Marines who now lost an arm or a leg, leaving them to fall on the backs and holding there missing body parts in pain as well as horror.
"HOTARUBI!" Ace yelled jumping over Naruto with both hands glowing light green to release small light green orbs at the soldiers in front of them.
"HIDARUMA!" Ace yelled with the balls exploding and once again consuming the panicking soldiers.
"Water ballon." Naruto said as bubbles form the air's water to appear at his sides and were suddenly launched right past Ace who only witnesses them move with such speed and force that they caused great blunt-force traum's since every time one connected with the ground it caused caused an explosion that sent them flying.
"Why didn't you use that before?!" Luffy asked Naruto who shows a sad smile.
"Because... These techniques are Juvia's." When Luffy heard that, he was surprised at the new techniques he's now revealing but putting that thought aside, he looks onwards with Naruto running in front of him and Ace leading the way.
"You've gotten strong, Luffy." Ace commented with a smile to his brother who only smiles, remembering the past.
"Someday, I'll even surpass you!" Luffy said but the three stop after seeing who stood in front of them. Ace moved his arms up to block there path.
"Well then, seems I still need to protect you for the time being." Ace said but he saw Naruto flick him in the side of the head, gaining the Pirates attention.
"Now, he's my captain so it's my responsibility..." Naruto told Ace who just smirks, the three ignoring the admiral.
"There's no way you'll escape from here, is there?" Kuzan said, standing in there way with other marines near him. The admiral's right arm turns to ice.
"ICE BLOCK!" Kuzan yelled, drawing his right arm back while both kings look at one another, both having this sudden and odd urge to try a new attack.
"LUFFY, GET BACK!" Ace yelled with him bringing back his right arm while Naruto bring back his left, when he saw that the admiral froze for a split second at feeling something, a new aura that gave him a cold yet warm chill.
"RAAAWWWRRRR!" Naruto and Ace screamed with both of there arms pulled back fists suddenly being consumed by there own elements to create large orbs that began growing in size, shocking many but mostly Kuzan who could only stare at this in shock since the two didn't appear to have said anything but knew what the other was planning.
"Whoa..." Was all Luffy calculus say at seeing the two orbs colliding yet no steam was seen. The orbs themselves were five times there height, they had swirls of there elements happening within it. The two men themselves eyes started to glow, Naruto's left eye began glowing light blue while Ace's began glowing light red; there orbs suddenly disappeared, replaced by smaller orbs that began creating a single orb of both water and fire that began growing in size to be as large as them.
"OCEAN KINGS BLAZING ERUPTION!" The two yelled in sync as as they extended there fists forwards, unleashing a terrifying combo that turned into a large bean of fire and water. Kuzan had no time to make an attack so he jumps out of the way but his left leg was caught up in the attack but as it connected the admiral hits the ground screaming in pain as his missing leg was not regenerating but instead bleeding a lot.
"W-What... Was that?!" Kuzan asked himself with wide eyes as he was staring at his missing left. As this was happening, both Naruto and Ace were indeed shocked at what they have done since they were in a trance like mode aware yet unaware of what just happened but even so they continued running and past the injured Kuzan.
"DON'T BE AFRAID! TAKE THEM ON!" One marine yelled with others charging straight for them but they all notice Whitebeard's ship come crossing on land. Naruto looks up and surprisingly it's Squardo steering the ship.
"OLD MAN! GUYS! RUN AWAY! WE'LL STAY ON THE BATTLEFIELD AND COVER YOU!" The guy yelled with the Pirates behind him agreeing. They were all heading towards the execution ground but it was stopped by a subdue person shockingly it was none other then Whitebeard himself. Seeing this, the three Pirates stop to clearly see what was happening.
"Whitebeard..." Naruto thought, looking at the scene with a passive look on his face.
"You guys go on ahead, I need to see this." When he said that, the two look at one another but start running without a complaint.
"LISTEN CLOSE, WHITEBEARD PIRATES! THE ORDER I AM ABOUT TO GIVE, WILL BE MY FINAL CAPTAIN'S ORDER!" Hearing that, Ace stops running and looks back while Luffy took out the two guys in front of them.
"YOU AND I WILL BE PARTING HERE! ALL OF YOU, MAKE SURE YOU SURVIVE, AND REUNITE WITH EACH OTHER IN THE NEW WORLD AND FROM THIS DAY FORWARD, PORTGAS D. ACE IS CAPTAIN OF THE WHITEBEARD PIRATES!" Whitebeard yelled at the top of his lungs, shocking everyone but most of all Ace himself who could only look at him in shock.
"Old... Man..." Was all Ace could say as watched the strongest man in the world bring back his left arm.
"I AM THE ONE AT THE TOP OF THIS ERA... FOR THE NEXT ERA, THE ONES TOO TAKE THE SEATS OF THE CURRENT YONKO'S WILL BE THE FOUR ELEMENTAL KINGS!" Whitebeard yelled as he swing his left arm causing large cracks to be made in the air.
"GO, MY MEN!" Whitebeard yelled as the cracks he made started to cause mass destruction angering Sengoku while his sons were filled with disbelief.
"So this is where he plans on dying huh..." Naruto thought to himself, staring at the old man who looks back right at Naruto. Even he could tell that old man was looking directly at him and saw a smile form on his face. What the old men saw was a young smiling Kisame. An image of Kisame and Whitebeard drinking sake appeared in his mind.
"Without a doubt in my mind, he has the power to rule the entire world if he finds out about what Samahada can really. Eheheheheh, to think someone like him prefers to be a Yonko instead of King of the Pirates. Hoshigaki D. Naruto, Beast D. Daimajin, Gol D. Ace, and Linlin D. Mayuri... You four, are destined to become the next Yonko's." Whitebeard thought to himself since not only are those four kings but there children of Yonko while Ace is the child of the last King of the Pirates. The old man looks forwards, away from Naruto.
"I've had quite a long journey..." Whitebeard thought with a smoke appearing on his face.
"Now let's settle this... NAVY!" Whitebeard said loudly knowing this is the end for him.
"POPS!" All his Pirates yell from behind him.
"I don't wanna leave you! You gotta come with us!" One pirate yelled with all of them agreeing. The old man looks back at all of them.
"Do you disobey your Captain's final order?! Why dint you just go, fools?!" He said and could see most crying.
"NOW IS OUR CHANCE! KILL WHITEBEARD! HE'S DYING ALREADY!" One marine yelled and before the marines could open fire multiple explosions occurred due too bubbles craving down at there feet. Seeing this, they look back seeing Naruto facing them.
"YOUR CAPTAIN WONT EVEN SURVIVE IN THE NEW WORLD! EVEN BEFORE THIS WAR GE DIDN'T HAVE MUCH TIME LEFT AND NOW HE MAY ONLY HAVE A FEW HOURS LEFT SO FUCKING LEAVE ALREADY! IF YOUR HIS SONS THEN YOU MUST UNDERSTAND A FATHER WANTS TO PROTECT CHILDREN SO JUST LEAVE SO HE CAN GO ALL OUT!" Naruto yelled at all the pirate's but even so many were refusing to leave the captain who has just made Ace leader. One by one the Pirates run past him while behind him but not really far was Ace refusing to move while his brother tried telling him to run. As all this was happening, Naruto just watched the strongest pirate fight. Without knowing, time has passed and what brought him back to reality was Ace's fire heading towards Whitebeard where it sent the marine's that were about to attack him flying. Naruto turns back to see Ace bowing on his knees. Naruto looks back and forth between the two until he saw Ace looking back up at Whitebeard. Seeing this he starts running again without turning back; as he was running he began thinking about Juvia which he stops running, knowing only one thing he must do so he started running once again.
"Naruto!" Hearing that, he turns seeing Luffy looking at him.
~~~~~~~~~FEW MINUTES LATER~~~~~~~~|
The three were running once again with all the rest of the Pirates too but some got shot down. Naruto was further in front of the others but even so the two could see Naruto leading the way.
Naruto could hear Akainu egging on the Whitebeard Pirates until he said one comment that struck a cord.
"Well your captain is that guy so you can't help it, can you? Because after all, Whitebeard is just a...loser from the old times!" With those words, Ace stopped running and gaining the attention of the two Pirates.
"Ace!" Luffy yelled to his brother who was unmoving.
"A loser?" Ace repeated, gaining a confused "huh" from Ace who turns to the admiral pissed off.
"Take back what you just said!" Ace demanded, ignoring the yells of his comrades.
"Hey, don't, Ace! Don't stop!" An Iron Man jaw pirate yelled while another tried to pull Ace away but he just shrugs him off with his body igniting from fire.
"He mocked Pops!" Ace said with anger, gaining the worry of Naruto as well as Luffy.
"Did you say "take it back?" Not in a million years! I'll tell you why. Your father Gold Roger conquered the Grand Line and opened the door to the new era called the Great Pirate Era by sacrificing himself. As a Navy Admiral, it's not my place to say so, but he was true to his name-The King of The Pirates! In contrast, what had Whitebeard done? I wonder if he really has the intention to fight Roger. I assume that he established a large family in a safe place and was satisfied behind a big fish in a little barrel. There are some fools in the world who'd say that his name is keeping peace on various islands but if you ask me, he's just keeping lightweights in fear of him and he thinks that he's a hero which makes me laugh! When Roger was alive, Whitebeard had second billing and even after Roger's death, he couldn't become a King. That means he'll never be better then Roger and he'll be a loser forever! That's who Whitebeard is and that's the truth." After saying that, Ace began approaching Akainu.
"He's a poor man when you think about it. He gathered some punks who call him Pops and roamed around the sea with his fake family." When he said that part, Ace asked him to stop quietly but he continued speaking.
"And although he reigned the sea for years, he couldn't become a King and gained nothing and at the end, he was stabbed by a fool, one of his sons who fell for my line and he will die to protect that son. Don't you think that his life is so empty?" With that said, Ace continued walking towards Akainu without stopping.
"Stop it!" Ace said much louder not hearing the others tell his name.
"Pops gave us a place to live! I don't want to be Captain I want to be just his son! YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND HIS GREATNESS!" Ace yelled in anger at Akainu who continued speaking.
"People don't deserve to live if they can't live justly! Punks like you guys don't deserve a place to live!" Akainu said much louder with his right arm turning into magma.
"STOP IT!" Ace yelled in anger and that caused Akainu to yell back.
"WHITEBEARD WILL DIE AS A LOSER! IT'S FITTING FOR A BIG FISH IN A LITTLE BARREL!" Akainu yelled back at the man who refused to believe his words.
"WHITEBEARD IS A GREAT PIRATE WHO SHAPED THIS ERA! DON'T MAKE FUN OF THE MAN WHO SAVED ME!" Ace screamed, consumed by fire much to the shock of everyone as they watched him go on the offensive.
"THE NAME OF THIS ERA SHOULD BE "WHITEBEARD!"." Ace screamed, unleashed an eruption of fire from his left fist while Akainu did the same with his right which both connect against one another, releasing even more heat. Ace just yelled in anger yet Akainu didn't bother using his full strength.
"Both Whitebeard and you guys who call him Pops are the same after all-losers!" He said loudly, in leading more magma that sent Ace flying where he lands away from Akainu on his stomach unmoving.
"Dammit..." Naruto thought with narrowed eyes at seeing Ace cannot win but before he could interfere he falls to one knee, seeing Juvia appear in his mind and how she died. Her death even now still affects him greatly.
"Are you careless be dates you are a Logia type fruit which is the most powerful or all? You're just fire but my magma cab even burn fire! My power is far stronger than yours." Akainu said just as Luffy falls to his knees from the after affects. Seeing Luffy fall he grits his teeth.
"Juvia... Tell me..." Naruto thought, to himself while standing up again.
"Gold Roger the king of the Pirates, Dragon the revolutionary. I was amazed to hear that sons of those two are step brothers. You two have bad blood in your veins. I don't car if the others get away as long as I get you two! Watch what I do." When he said that, Ace's eyes widen all the way realizing what he's planing.
"WAIT!" Ace yelled while Akainu jumps over him towards Luffy who was reaching out towards the paper that fell from his pocket.
"LUFFY!" Ace yelled just as Luffy looks up to see Akainu extended his right fist towards Luffy. As this was happening, everything began slowing down once again.
(Please... Survive... Find people you can rely on and protect... Remember... I lo-...)
"I love you too... That's why..." As those words pass through his head he saw Ace now in front of Luffy with his arms act extended, planning on protecting Luffy he could see an image of Juvia doing the same thing. Suddenly a water clone of Naruto appeared in front of Akainu with his entire body covered in Haki which he grabs the extended arm, stopping Akainu much to the shock of the admiral.
"NEVER AGAIN!" The scream of Naruto reached Akainu's ears which he turns fast to have a Haki fist being slammed directly into his face, sending him flying away from the two. The two were looking at Naruto to see he was crying with an insanely pissed off look on his face.
"I WON'T LET YOU EVER AGAIN TAKE AWAY ANOTHER PERSON'S FUTURE! THAT'S...(I love you.) A PROMISE OF A FUCKING LIFE TIME!" Naruto screamed with veins appearing all over his body.
NEXT TIME, NARUTO VS AKAINU! THE CONTROLLED WRATH OF A KING! LEAVE A REVIEW AND TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK.
