Marco pov
"MARCO!"
Her voice made my body stiffen. My eyes trailed up the platform until I saw her. She was restrained and exhausted. Dirt and blood stained her pale skin. Her clothes were tattered and barely held together. Yet… she looks so beautiful.
Ace poked at me, "talk to her, I bet you have something to say." Izo and Thatch pushed my body up front next to Pops. My captain nodded to me, all of them knew I suffered the most from Red's disappearance. They all think i should be the one to talk first.
I took a deep breath and pondered on what to say, "Eustass Red, your request to leave our crew has been denied! You are still a full-fledged member of the Whitebeard Pirates!" Red shifted in her cuffs as more tears trailed downwards. I can't stand the sight of her crying. Pops tapped his staff against my back, "come on, say it son. We all have been waiting for this."
Another breath poured into my lungs, it's now or never, I won't let another chance pass. "I LOVE YOU RED, AND I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU!" Every commander smiled at my confession. I didn't have to turn around to see Izo's 'about damn time' look.
Third pov
Red couldn't help but let out a laugh, "y-you re-ally think now is the time for that?!" she choked on her tears. The water sprouting from her crimson eyes was pure happiness. It's so weird that I'm so happy when a war is about to start.
She heard Marco chuckle at her response, "is that all I'm going to get, yoi?"
Red's heart slammed against her chest, a warm sensation spread through her body. "I LOVE YOU TOO MARCO!" Red has never been this happy in her life. Her nightmare has twisted into her dreams, just because of one Pineapple head. But, of course, the moment didn't last long.
"So, you did come, Whitebeard." Sengoku hissed.
Red snorted, "no goat face, it's an illusion. No shit it is Whitebeard!"
Sengoku snapped his head towards the prisoner and snarled, "silence you! What gives you the right to speak!"
It wasn't a question, yet Red answered it as one. "I don't know… maybe my mouth?! That stuffed bird on your head has more brains than you! And if you don't want a sarcastic answer, don't ask stupid questions! And don't ruin my cute moments with my boyfriend cock sucker Sengoku!"
Garp's laugh echoed through the area, along with Whitebeard. Marco and Izo rolled their eyes, she'll never change. Ace and Thatch struggle to contain their laughter from the nickname. While the rest of the crew didn't know if they should be shocked or concerned for Red's mental health. SHE SAID THAT TO THE FLEET ADMIRAL! WITH NOT A CARE IN THE WORLD!
Whitebeard balled his hands into fist and shot a cheeky grin at Red, "are you ready to be saved? My child." Even though he was far away, Red still heard him. She nodded her head with vigor as her captain punched the air. The air cracked against his fist and caused a tremor. The waves shook along with the island. Suddenly, two large tsunamis appeared on the sides of the area, but if that wasn't all, Kuzan jumped up and froze them. "Ice age." he whispered. The man disappeared into thin air after freezing the humongous amount of water.
He reformed by Whitebeard's side, but before he could do anything… "Fire Fist!" Ace released a cluster of flames the Admiral's way. A snicker stretched on the second commander's face, "you're going to have to try harder than that." Ace tipped his hat and nodded to Marco for their next action.
Marco threw his fist in the air, "BRING RED BACK!" Nothing else needed to be said. All fifteen commanders and all allied forces rushed off the ship. Kuzan froze the ground too? That is a little strange. I'll have to thank him. Ace's smirk was interrupted by two gunshots, "get your head in the game! We are at war, second commander!" Izo shouted from behind him. The fifteenth commander slid on the ice, shooting four more bullets at Marines.
A large crash was heard behind them, Ace turned his head to see who it was. He wasn't surprised to see Thatch punching the ice ground with her fist, penetrating a marine's face. Thatch is never serious, but right now, she is more fired up than ever.
"Ace, I'm going to take your position if you keep slacking!" Jozu hollered. Half his body was covered in shimmering diamonds, while the other stayed in his muscular form. Ace tilted his orange cowboy hat down, letting it lay on his back. His right leg shifted behind his left, and his right hand drew back into a fist. "No way! You can keep being our back up disco ball! Fire fist!" Another ball of fire hurdled towards approaching enemies.
A gust of wind flashed past him; it was Haruta. "If it's a competition you want, you got it." Haruta slashed two marines with his sword midair. He jumped on one of the falling bodies and pushed himself towards another group of marines.
Nimble as always. Ace rolled his eyes and brought his right leg to a line with his left, and shaped his fingers into pistols. "You're on! Heat Gun!" Fire bullets shot out of his pointer and middle finger. His body turned to hit approaching targets.
Whitebeard turned to his first commander, "you're not going out there?"
Marco shook his head, "I have someone to take care up." The blonde's sharp eyes spotted glimpses of light particles coming this way. "Light beam." Kizaru materialized and sent two kicks of light towards Pops. Pops didn't have to flinch; Marco activated his devil fruit and took to the skies. His blue phoenix wings blocked the attack and healed afterwards.
Kizaru grew a smile, "did that even hurt?"
Marco let out a cocky smile, "a little."
"Now you're just trying not to make me feel bad."
Marco maneuvered in the air and strike the man with his talons. Kizaru flew across the area and crashed into the building behind the platform. The two of them began to fight in the skies, while the rest battled on the ground.
Sengoku compressed his teeth at the display. Two of his admirals are fighting with commanders. Whitebeard came with more forces than anticipated. "Hahaha! You should see your face! You surprised my brothers are here?!" Sengoku snapped his head towards the cackling prisoner. "Brothers? I thought Kid and Dr. Vega punk were your only brothers."
Another laugh came from Red, "You remember the children Corazon saved?" Red pointed to Law, who was dominating on the battlefield. Sengoku's eyes widened. Corazon was like a son to him, when he heard the man died, he was filled with guilt. He knew why he did, he was protecting children from Doflamingo, but to think that one child is still alive.
Doflamingo floated up onto the platform with a sinister smile. "Your Law's sister ay? I thought his twin died a long time ago?"
Red scrunched her nose, "not by blood, you walking fur ball. Not like it'd matter to you."
Doflamingo chortled, "I could kill you right now girl! Watch your mouth." His voice changed mid-sentence as he grabbed Red's face and brought it closer.
Red cracked a smirk, "and when you do, you'll have two emperors coming to kick your ass. I dare you to kill me, if you have the balls to." Red gathered the saliva in her mouth and lunged it at Doflamingo. That was the last straw. The warlord's lips turned into a snarl. His fingers turned into string. It shaped into the sharp blade of a sphere.
"DON'T DO IT! SHE IS PLAYING YOU!" Sengoku's warning was too late. Doflamingo sliced his blade across her neck. Her head bounced on the metal platform. Blood sprouted out from her neck and flooded out of her severed head. The collar was shattered as well, doesn't matter, she's dead.
Whitebeard's eyes went wide when he saw his child beheaded. The rest of the commander's and marines froze from the sight. "RED!" Thatch shouted. "Hold your breath." Dagger interjected. He jumped off the top deck and landed on the figurehead of the ship with Whitebeard. He twirled his knife around his fingers and blew some strands of red from his face. "If it was that easy to kill my sister, she wouldn't be where she is now." He muttered with a cocky smile.
Doflamingo froze when Red's necklace started to glow. It materialized and started to spin out of control, as if it was alive. I knew it! She wanted him to react like that so her collar would be off! Now her weapon is going to go out of control from her blood! That sneaky bitch!
A smile snuck onto Red's lips, "thank you fur ball, I guess your stupidity was worth something." She muttered. Her scythe slashed against the shackles on her limbs. Her arms reached for her detached head and placed it back onto her head with a snap. Sengoku wanted to reach out and grab her, but he couldn't. Not with the scythe still reacting to her blood on the ground.
I need to use it… even if i go out of control… I need to protect them!
The ends of Red's hair turned black. Her nails sharpened into claws, and a thin black tail sprouted from her backside. Six-inch-long curved horns sprouted from her head and her teeth became sharper. Black lines and marks circled and twirled around her body with a glow. All her wounds from the prison healed in an instant. Red narrowed her flaming orbs to trail around the battlefield. Until they stopped at Whitebeard. A sinister smile perched onto her lips. Her hand balled into a fist and smashed against the platform. The platform crumbled under her monstrous strength. She bounced herself into the air and sored through the sky. Her scythe followed her and fell onto her hand.
She landed on the top of the figure head with a large crash. All eyes darted towards the area. Red showed her crazy orbs and devilish grin once the dust cleared around them. But before she could do anything, Dagger popped a pill into her mouth. "This should stop you from losing control." Red's eyes flickered to their usual color.
"Why are you here Dagger!" Red snapped at her older brother.
Dagger rolled his eyes, "we have bigger things to worry about kay? By the way, everyone knows the truth. Including Blue."
Red turned her head to face Whitebeard, she bowed her head and crushed her teeth. "I-I'm so sorry Pops! I- don't deserve your kindness!" Pops chuckled, "you are one of my children, I will do anything for my family."
Tear's flooded Red's eyes from his statement, "thank you Pops! I will make it up to you!"
"If that is the case, you want to help me deal with some friends of ours?" Dagger pointed at some of the marines approaching on the ice. Both siblings readied their weapons and analyzed their foes. Whitebeard stared at the two, they look more alike than her and Kid. All three of them are the spitting image of their father, in strength and spirit. I have a feeling the Dagger brat meant those words he stated before.
"I will never let anything happen to my sister again! I just wanted her to be stronger!"
Whitebeard stroked his chin, the oldest might be the most like Shanks. You have some interesting children brat.
"Let's go." Dagger said, jumping off the ship.
"On it."
Both siblings zoomed through the Ice. Dagger duck and dodged bullets on the way, he jumped onto two dead bodies and sliced two snipers aiming for him. Red expanded her scythe, "devils clash." she whispered with a smile. Her blades cut their upper bodies clean off. While she was smiling, a marine snuck up behind her. A dagger punctured his skull and flying metal pounded into his body. Red snapped her head and saw Dagger taking his knife from the corps, and Kid flashing a smirk.
Kid cracked his knuckles and puffed out his chest, "should we do the red demon?" he suggested. Dagger bounced up from his crouch and flicked the blood of his blade. "I'll take the right wing." The older brother zoomed past his siblings without another word.
"I'll take left, that leaves you in the middle Red." Kid dashed to join his older brother.
Red rolled her eyes, "they never change."
The red demon is a triangle type formation. Dagger takes the top right, Kid takes the top left, and Red takes the back middle. Dagger only uses his weapon on his right hand, so his position is to kill anyone on that side. Kid's job is to wipe out anyone on their left and collect metal weapons from the front with his right hand. Red has the sharpest senses, that is why she is put in the back to cover. Plus, her weapon is long range, mid-range, and short range depending on it's shape.
Their formation is called the red demon from their nickname back at their village. Whenever kids would mess with Red, they would face the rath of her brothers. Soon enough. They were called the red demons of Foosha village because of their sinister actions.
The other children used to tell each other stories about what the family was capable of. Even though most were to horrific to be true, it didn't stop any of them from bullying Red. Which earned them a beat down.
Shanks would turn livid when Red returned home with cuts and bruises, so would his crew. So, whenever he could, he would train his children and show them how to defend themselves. Which only lead to more fights, but less injuries for his children.
Their father has always taught them how to be strong and fearless. But most importantly, he taught them how to work together. Makino didn't like the thought of her children fighting, she was the disciplinary if you couldn't tell. Shanks got an ear full when she heard of their secret training sessions, but that didn't stop their father.
I never thought we would ever do this move again… I can't believe I have both of them. Kid and Dagger. My brothers. I'll never let them go again.
Speaking of brother…
"I'MMMMMMMM!"
Red stopped, so did the other brothers when they heard the familiar voice. "What was that?" Kid asked. He turned his head to scan the area, but saw nothing.
"COMINGGGGGGGGG!"
Dagger smiled, "I think we missed someone." His finger pointed to the sky as he spoke.
"REDDDDDDDD!"
Red's eyes widened when she saw it. A massive navy ship was falling from the sky! Along with Jinbe, Ivan, Crocodile, Buggy, Mr. 3, Impel Down prisoners, and… Red squinted. "LUFFY!?"
