"You disgusting scum!" Akainu was trying to defeat the eldest prince, but he wasn´t having any luck, as heat gave him strength. Back in the ruins of the stand, Sengoku was seeing everything he ever worked for going to hell. Portgas D. Ace was escaping execution in front of the World, Shirohige was in full health thanks to that redheaded maniac and he kept being mocked by the eldest Ren. "Come back here so I can kill you!"

"No, thank you" Kouen continued stealing heat from him, powering his own attacks against the garrison with the lava ones the admiral sent his way. He really grateful for this enemy, as he didn´t need to change his djinn equipment as Sinbad had. Valefor was very effective against Borsalino in first instance, but once he managed to keep his distances so the stagnation didn´t affect him, the conqueror king was forced to change to Baal again to use lightning.

"The Marines are getting weaker" commented Newgate, safe under the protective shield of the raven. His children were still fighting and he was dying to join them, but he also knew that Sengoku was waiting only for an opening to attack and wound him again. This was the least his crew need in this moment.

"You want to join the fight, don´t you?" he heard from behind. He turned his eyes only to see Judal, who was holding the shield. The magi was also looking at the battlefield with a strange expression of longing, as if he was desiring to join his brothers in there. "What´s stopping you? Leave the borg to me."

"Yunan…" the younger magi stared at the oldest, who just smiled at him in a peaceful way. Normally, he wouldn´t encourage someone to go into a battlefield, specially a magi, who can do a lot of damage, but now he would make an exception. "Alright, I´m going" he waited until an equally powerful borg replaced his to fly away towards the Fleet Admiral, who was trying to reach the D brothers in his gold Buddha form. "Keep the old man safe for me!"

"Of course" the sand blond nodded, then stared at the place he was flying to. Titus chose that moment to join him, holding his own staff close to his chest.

"Why did you let him join?" the Reim magi asked, frowning at the carnage. He never liked this kind of view. And the rukh that was flying around… "We magis are not supposed to directly intervene in wars of our king candidates or other men."

"Don´t you see it? The rukh of this world" the other knew he saw it. Hell, it would be a wonder if they didn´t. In fact, they were sure that Judal was also seeing the rukh in this moment. And other things, darker things… "That man Kou´s first prince is fighting has a black rukh unlike every other I have seen before. It also spells evilness."

"In that I agree" the other answered. Meanwhile, the Fleet Admiral cursed as he was showered in salt water, followed by ice. He was about to lash out at Aokiji for not being able to control a bratty girl when he noticed that it was a totally different person to blame. Judal was now floating in the air, a wicked smile much like his demented adoptive little sister´s in his face. The blue admiral tried to distract his enemy by shooting him ice arrows, but the shattered once they made contact with the borg.

"Do you think that is ice?" he mocked the devil fruit user, distracting him enough to be hit by a water spear, courtesy of Kougyoky. "You know…" there was a loud thud sound near him and, when he turned, he saw the bodies of Kouha and Koumei on the ground, a laser shot through their bodies. "No!"

"Kouha! Koumei!" Kouen also noticed that, leaving Akainu free to go heal his brothers. Judal was making his best effort to keep them alive, as the shots went right through the chests. The admirals were free now, making a move to attack Shirohige. Meanwhile, the eldest Ren worked on the wounds under a borg, using Phenex to make it quick. Soon, the two of them were back into the fight. "Are you alright? What happened?"

"That man in yellow, he attacked us from behind" said Koumei, standing up. He was sore, but won´t leave the battlefield. Kouha, by his side, was ready to engage Kizaru in single combat. That if Kouen didn´t beat him to it. "We were occupied with the cannonballs and didn´t see him shooting at us."

"Do you need to rest?" asked their older brother. The wound was hard to heal, especially with the burned edges. The other two simply shook their heads, getting up again.

"No, we are ready" both of them got into the air again. Judal gritted his teeth and flied high, conjuring sea water and freezing it to form his speciality. And how great it felt to be able to do it again. All the marines present stared at his ice spears in fear, Akainu quickly stopping his attack to send a wave of lava towards them, trying to melt it before it could kill his troops. Unfortunately, magic ice was not so easy to melt. "Thalg Al-Salos!"

"You were right, little girl" Aokiji conceded, stopping for a second his fight with Kougyoku to send his own ice spears and intercept the deathly projectiles that threatened to kill all his men in seconds. Not losing time, the empress decided to break away from her fight with him and hit the marines with all her might. Overkill, someone might say, but it was necessary in this occasion.

"Kyokudai Mahou: Vainel Ganezza!"

"Dammit" Kuzan prepared himself for a deathly hit, along with every devil fruit user in the place. He used Ice Age again to try and freeze the wave, leaving the icy spears of Thalg Al-Salos to fell on the earth. And he couldn´t completely contain the wave, not with how tired he was. The ice walls shattered and the bay was unfrozen. The water came in, a lethal force for every Devil fruit user in the vicinity. He was barely standing when the water passed, nearly falling to the ground if his men´s hands have not being keeping him straight.

"Surrender"

"…" Kuzan lost consciousness in that moment, as did nearly all the devil fruit users that were caught in her attack. It was a miracle no one was sent to the deeps of the ocean, specially the D. brothers, who were somehow still running towards freedom. Akainu, who was saved from the wave by Kizaru, shot them a nasty look. He obviously was aiming towards them… that if he could get rid of Kouen and Judal, who were after him and his friend. Sengoku, looking the predicament his best men were into jumped into action. He was intercepting by Sinbad, again in Baal djinn equipment. And a new ship appeared.

"Zehahahahahahaha!" Teach´s laugh freeze the blood in the present people´s veins. Titus and Yunan immediately took an interest to him and his men. That concentration of dark rukh was not usually seen. It somehow reminded them of All Tharmen. He didn´t wait one second and made a move on his former captain. He crashed harmlessly against the borg, making the two magis inside of him take a look at the pit of darkness that conformed his body.

"What… have you all done?" asked Yunan to the man, who stared at him. This was so similar to what Judal used to do to protect the Moby Dick. How could that be? There were no devil fruits with the same power. And, like him, Yunan took an instant interest on him… no, it was mistrust. "I see" behind him, Titus revolved uncomfortable. The man was so corrupted that not even Aladdin would be able to pull him out of that spiral of darkness. "Tell me… How long have you been planning your adoptive family´s demise?"

"Why do you want to know?" the pirate simply stared at him. At his back, Sinbad wanted to help Shirohige, but Sengoku decided to make him his target after he managed to completely freeze Kizaru, using Garufor Kirestal when he was paying too much attention to the ice spears Judal created. Now, back in Baal´s djinn equipment, he tried to get rid of the golden Buddha while listening to the conversation of magi and pirate.

"Humour me" Yunan continued to stare at him. Behind him, Titus prepared a sphere of Aberrant Magic in the tip of his staff. He was about to shot when an extended hand from his elder stopped him. "Well?"

"If you are so eager to know, I will tell you" his smile widened. "Since ever! I only joined his crew because it was the best way to survive until I got the fruit I was searching for! I knew that probably one day I was going to be forced to kill them… so what?! My ambition is becoming a reality! And no one in that damn crew was clever enough to see that I was always deceiving them! Zehahahahahahaha!"

"In that you are mistaken, Judal noticed right away that you had no good intentions" he declared, the black rukh spinning more violently. Teach made a face of confusion. "We magis see the world in a different way and when I see you… I can only catch the image of a huge black spinning tornado."

"What are you talking about?" Kurohige was now deeply interested. Magis… he never heard that word, but those powers of Judal and this blondie did not come from Devil Fruits. If not, he would be able to absorbe the shield to weaken it. Yunan didn´t answer, only took a step to the side, letting Titus hit the pirate with his destructive spell. The impact left him hurt, something that hasn´t happened before when he was using his powers. How amusing. How… useful.

"We shouldn´t have talked with him" the Alexius walked towards him, another spell in the tip of his spear. "Normal people doesn´t need to know how their rukh looks like"

"Normal people doesn´t have that kind of rukh. I only saw that kind of rukh in…" Yunan turned his eyes to Sinbad, who was trying to shake off Sengoku. His wish came true when Kurohige chose another target, catching the attention of the furious Fleet Admiral. For his part, Akainu was getting more and more angered, as he saw everything go to hell. Aokiji and Kizaru were out of combat, as both have been hit head on by the wave Kougyoku made, plus a hit from Judal´s ice spears in case of the light admiral. Kouen made him impossible to help and Sinbad… where was he? Well, doesn´t really matter. Not when a whole squad of pacifistas was…

"Bararaq Saika!" there he was, completely obliterating with lightning a whole squad of the things. Sengoku was in a rage, the Gorosei was going to kill him. Then he saw Garp, who finally stopped chasing his wayward grandson… well, one of them… and directed his rage towards one of the pirates in the island. Finally! He just needs to…

"EN-NII!" Kouha and Koumei were having some problems in other side, as some of Blackbeard´s new allies engaged them. Kouen cursed and turned, flying quickly and calling his extreme magic to terminate the problem in one go. Akainu, for his part, took that moment to start badmouthing Newgate, attracting Ace´s attention. The fire user began to turn, to fight with the admiral, but… "Kyokudai Mahou: Astor Inqerad!"

"En-nii…"

"That idiot" the oldest redhead cursed when he saw all the effort to free the hot head thrown to the trash. "If he does that, he is not going to survive"

"Then we have to act quickly" Hakuryuu appeared near them, exhausted. This war was taking too long. "I just left Hakuei in the ship… Kougyoku too. They didn´t have much magoi left and their djinn equipment was about to give up" he breathed in. "And me too. I used it too much… in too much people…"

"And in how many of them did you use the Brain Plant?" Hakuryuu smiled. Despite their past together, Kouen knew him very well. He extended his flesh arm and revealed the dreaded seeds. "Well?"

"Without the power of Belial they are quite useless, but those robots they called Pacifistas… I found out they can be quite the assets. Specially the original one" he got higher, making a completely enraged face. The being that before was Bartholomew Kuma, was obliterating pirates… enemy pirates, making Kurohige deal with him personally and leave their allies alone. And he… he didn´t want to be here… this was not the place he should be in… except for Judal. "Damn Judal, always in trouble" and them to get him out or follow him into them. Well, that was what siblings did. "Kouen, I´m giving you a pass. After that, my djinn equipment will give up. You do the rest."

"You got tired very soon… I can understand it, there is no plant life around us and you haven´t a way to recharge yourself" he stared at the front. "Very well. Koumei, prepare for an emergency teleportation."

"Right away"

"Kyokudai Mahou: Zaug Al-Adhra!" he screamed, his forces finally giving up. His cousin teleported him into the ship, where Hakuei and Kougyoku helped him up. "What a way to spend the months before my wedding, no, nee-sama? Not planning, but fighting a war… should be back in Kou."

"Yes" his sister answered, smiling. "But here you did a great thing. See, Kouen-sama and the others are making their way through the people" and it was true. In the battlefield, Hakuryuu´s monsters were decimating or scaring the hell off every marine in their way, permitting the siblings to pass after them, directly to Akainu, who was about to punch a hole through Ace´s back. Sabo was also running towards his brothers, but through a different pathway, one that was not so direct.

"Koumei, prepare to teleport again. Kouha, you with me. Let´s hit him with all we have" both of them nodded. They were also too tired to continue much more and soon… soon this was going to end. "You go, I stay. I can stand his attacks better and that will recharge me enough to continue in the battlefield."

"En-nii, no" the second prince stopped him. "If you do it one more time, your body will suffer a tremendous damage. I will teleport us all out of here after we safe Ace´s life, then… then we leave everything to Judal and Sinbad."

"Koumei…" there was no time for further conversation, because end was really nearing their ally. "Kyokudai mahou: Astor Inqerad!" Kouen´s spell also released all the energy he absorbed from Akainu, overbearing even the volcanous admiral. Unfortunately, it took more of him than he thought, because his djinn equipment threatened to banish after that move. "Kouha, now!"

"Right away. Lelazzo Madraga!" from the sky, just above Sakazuki, the hammer hit him with all it´s force, turning him into a stain of lava on the ground. Jimbei arrived at that moment, picking up the D. brothers and running with them. Kouha lost his transformation too, so Koumei got them out of there and also became himself again. Akainu, seeing this, decided to attack immediately. Of course, his body won´t move for some minutes, until Jimbei and Sabo managed to almost get the two exhausted pirated into the Moby Dick.

"I´m going to kill you!" his half formed body propelled itself to cover everyone in lava. Unfortunately for him, Judal saw the attack too. With his instant movement, the magi transported himself into the tiny space between the lava man and the pirates, putting a borg around them. "What…?"

"I´m not used to this kind of spell, less alone to do it twice a day, but…" Jimbei, Sabo, Ace and Luffy disappeared along with the magi to appear in the deck of the Moby Dick. Judal collapsed on the wooden ground, barely conscious. The pirates retreated as fast as they could, with Sinbad keeping the enemies away. All the others were completely out of magoi… well, even he was feeling his djinn equipment won´t last long.

"They should have brought the Seven Seas Alliance too" he muttered, positioning himself almost over the ship. "Well, here goes nothing" he lifted his sword, not remembering to be so tired before in his adult life. "Kyokudai mahou: Bararaq Inqerad-Saiqa!"

"Cover yourselves!" Sengoku, knowing what kind of power the purple haired king had. And he was right. In matter of seconds, the whole of Marinford was obliterated by a lightning. Fortunately, there was few people really inside and not many were killed. The admirals chose that time to wake up, but it was too late to prevent the enemy´s retire. Even Teach was retiring, seeing his plans banish… and another ship appearing. The flag was the one of the Red Haired Pirates.

"I came to stop this war" Shanks said, putting a foot in the Marines Headquarters, eyeing the mess Luffy and the other has made in the place. "And I think you need that"

-In the Moby Dick-

"Well… that went as well as anything can go" Sinbad commented, breathing tiredly as he stared around himself. Ace was safe, Luffy too, his friends were with him and, even if their loses were terrible, everyone was happy. Even his generals, who didn´t knew the crew. "Jafar, remember me to train more. I need to get back into shape soon."

"Don´t worry, as soon as those papers in your desk are taken carry of, we are getting a nice warm up session" chills creep up his back. Those papers… Jafar was going to have him confined to his office for days. He tried to find another conversation theme to divert his mind and perhaps give him an escape, but as soon as he turned his golden gaze met the Empress of Kou. "Kougyoku…"

"Your Imperial Majesty to you" she glared at him. "Hand it over"

"What?"

"You know what I mean!" this confused Sinbad for a second before noticing that Kouen also was giving him a hard stare, especially at one of his rings. He frowned, hiding his hand behind him, but at the same time he understood them. Zepar was a continuous temptation, one he himself failed to ignore in the past and used against them. He looked again at the djinn he inherited from Serendine.

"Drakon" he called his general, who approached. He carefully put the ring in his hands, stepping away from it. The dragon man only looked at him without really understanding. "Take it away. That should soothe their insecurities."

"What was that?" asked Ace, who was panting near them. Sinbad suddenly looked a bit uncomfortable. Zepar was difficult to explain to most allies, as most of them were prone to think he manipulated them after learning of his djinn´s powers.

"Well… this is Zepar, one of my djinns… you knows, those things I was using on the battlefield" he swallowed, better to get on with this. "This one is a djinn that used sound and other kind of waves to… to completely knock out the enemy" Drakon made the ring disappear in his belt. "I have never used it on you, I swear."

"Why are you telling us that?"

"Because it´s special move is… mind control" they all stared at him as if he has grown a new head. "Like I said, I never used it on any of you. Judal is my witness, he had my djinns all the time and…" Everyone was beginning to calm down, but Tatch chose that moment to appear, happy to see everyone on the deck.

"Hey! Ace, you are back!" he hugged the man, who smiled at the cook, who was deemed too injured to participate in the war. "And you!" he eyed Sinbad, who miraculously recovered after the Zepar incident prompted by the Rens. "Why aren´t you with Judal? I thought you said that if you both came out of this war alive you were going to ask him out."

"WHAT?!" Kouen screamed. the King of Sindria saw the danger and started running, with a fuming Kouen behind him threatening to start political problems or even war in their world. Whatever came first when they returned. Behind them, Kouha joined the persecution, balancing his big sword from side to side, screaming too.

"Bad moment?" asked the fourth commander. They all nodded. Koumei put his face in his fist and shook his head. This was going from bad to worse. "Who…"

"Oh, Tatchy, let me introduce my family" Judal walked in, the resulting chaos making him smile. "This are my siblings Hakuei, Hakuryuu, Kougyoku, Koumei… and the ones that are running are Kouen and Kouha" he stared at the youngest woman, who was completely pale, mouth open and catatonic. "Don´t mind the old hag, she is not in her right mind now…"

"WHY DOES ALL THE MEN I PLAN TO MARRY CHOSE MY BROTHERS?!" the Empress suddenly screamed, her sword materializing on his hands. "HAKURYUU IS MARRYING THE MAN I WAS ORDERED TO MARRY! JUDAL GOT THE MAN I LIKE! IT´S NOT FAIR" and she joined the persecution.

Hello! Sorry for taking too long, but I was a little busy. Well... Marineford is over! And, of course, next comes the victory party in the Moby Dick. There it´s going to be a few surprises, so stay tuned. And, should I make the Marines and World Government explore the world of Sinbad and company? It would be really like them to show up and do research about djinns and how to get them, but I don´t know if they should be capable without the djinns. What do you think? Review!
