This story was created when I and my co creator, DefectiveDecoy decided to make the story of Marineford in advance. But as new ideas starting coming up, we have a completely different idea of how to write that. So, Decoy thought of sharing with you guys. So, here it is!


Chapter 1


On the Island of Marineford, where Marine Headquarters is located, there's a large city that houses the families of marines. Those residents have been evacuated. They watch on monitors at Sabaody Archipelago. As the execution draws even nearer, reporters and camera men from all over the world gather at Saboady. They stand ready to send word to the world at a moment's notice.

The patrol ships which were sent out by the marines have all been sunk and Whitebeard and The Spades are yet to be sighted as the tension at Marineford runs high. Only three hours remain for the execution of Portgas D. Ace, The Captain of The Spade Pirates.

In the Marine Head Quarters of Marineford, well-known marines have been gathered from all over the world. In all, over 100,000 elites are there waiting for the final battle. 50 battleships are stationed around the crescent-shaped bay and Island. Countless heavy cannons are set up along the coast, At the very front of the troops, visible from the port, stand the five warlords who hold the key to the battle: Boa Hancock, Dracule Mihawk, Donquixote Doflamingo, Gecko Moriah and Bartholomew Kuma.

And at the rear of the place atop the towering execution platform, the center of the incident, Portgas D. Ace is kneeled down in front of the crowd of marines, which stood there to witness their 'execution'. Ace won't say that he is confident that he will make it alive of the damn show of the marines. But he is certain and the feeling that his brothers had already invaded Impel Down, clarifies that he won't be dying today. He is bloodied, tied down by sea stone hand cuffs and have not taken a bath since ages. But all Ace wants is that his stubborn, stupid brothers if arrive here, make it alive of it. Ace can already feel his adoptive father, Dragon, through his weakened haki in the shadows.

Before his eyes, protecting the platform, are the marines greatest military force, the three Admirals. All of the forces of justice imaginable have gathered to prevent Ace's rescue and wait for the Whitebeard Pirates, which are a major threat.

"I'm going to tell them everything, all right, Garp?" Sengoku side eyes his best friend who stands beside Portgas D. Ace.

Garp looks at Ace, and gives a soft smile, "Do what you want." He knows and beliefs that Ace won't die today. He just can't.

Sengoku stands in front of the plaza and side eyes the criminals, the ones to be executed on this fateful day. He doesn't see any sign of fear in the men, instead there is a bit of awe in Fire Fist, as he looks at the people gathered below him. Sengoku scoffs and grabs the den den mushi.

"Gentlemen, I have something to tell you," Sengoku starts as a seagull rests on his cap and a den den mushi on his left palm. "Portgas D. Ace, this man will die here today and there is great meaning in his death." He hears the said man scoff at those words, making him glare at him in return.

"Ace, tell the world, the name of your father," Ace gives a glare to the man and then a cocky grin stretches across his face. His eyes lit in mischief as he answers.

"I have two Dads: one biological and one adoptive, which one you wanna hear about?" Ace's grin stretches on his face. The crowd is silent and Sengoku feels himself getting mad. Ace seeing Sengoku, continues speaking again.

"My biological Dad is the Late Pirate King, Gol D. Roger." The crowd plus the people watching the execution gasps in shock. Reporters drop their notepads in shock at the huge news of the Pirate King's bloodline which still lives.

"My adoptive father is The Revolutionary Dragon." That earns more horrified gasps, but the proud grin on the face of Ace never ceases.

Sengoku scoffs as he held the snail a bit tighter, "As you can see, we are here to execute Gold Ace, today. We must eradicate the cursed bloodline."

"You can't execute me," Ace says with a smirk and the confidence in his voice doesn't seem fake. "You can't execute me unless it's for my own crimes. You can't execute me for the crimes of my fathers."

"Shut up!" Sengoku growled. "You have to be executed today, whether you like it or not! It is essential to end the Pirate-"

Ace rolls his eyes and looks at Sengoku with a deathly glare, "Dare speak that again and I swear to break your damn mouth." Ace spats.

Sengoku chose the ignore the words of the feral man and continued speaking, "As for how, this 20 year young man is Roger's spawn," Ace growled, "Is solely due to his mother's immense willpower and determination. Portgas D. Rouge carried the child for 20 months in her womb. She succeeded in deceiving the whole world. All of it for giving birth to the spawn of a devil."

"Shut up!" The chains attached to Ace, threatened to tear off. "How dare you speak the name my mother from your damn mouth! Should I remind everyone the horrible deeds the Navy committed. The genocide and infanticide which killed thousands of pregnant women and infants only to eradicate the baby me. Only to send an infant to death, who didn't even know for what he would be killed for?!"

"I said shut up, GOL D. ACE!" Sengoku growled as he began to continue his speech, ignoring a growling young man. Sengoku was getting pissed off bad, "You have no right to speak. So, shut up and wait for your impending doom! You-"

"NO I WON'T!" Ace growled, the voice resonated throughout the battlefield. Everyone stood with silence, except for the raging waves which crashed on the shores. "I WON'T! The lies, the propaganda of the World Government, which you marines spread about pirates, about my father, about Gol D. Roger and not Gold Roger. Don't you feel ashamed of speaking countless lie?! Tell everyone that Roger was not a devil incarnate! Not someone who deserved his execution. Not someone whom you captured but who gave himself willingly to the Navy! What does the fucking pompous old men of the Elders fear so much of the last Island, to make an adventure loving man, a devil, a monster, a criminal?!"

"I told you to SHUT UP!" Sengoku growled. Ace shook his head and couldn't belief these guys are the bearers of justice. "You are to be executed in the name of absolute Justice!"

"Absolute justice my ass!" Ace rolls his eyes and spat in disgust. "If justice means to sacrifice thousands of innocents for one man, for a truth, then you should die out of shame, Fleet Admiral!"

Sengoku at this point snaps and switches off the den den mushi and slaps 'Fire Fist' Ace, making him bleed from his mouth. Ace snickers at the desperate attempts of the Fleet Admiral to hide the truth and began laughing. Sengoku glares the boy and was about to say when Garp cuts him off.

"Sengoku!" Garp's calm, cold voice reaches the Fleet Admiral and he gets out of his daze. "You are not supposed to do that to my grandson."

"Refrain him from speaking then," Sengoku rolls his eyes and switches on the den den mushi. Garp nods and looks at Ace, who was happily grinning at his successful self mission. He had told the world the truth after all of those years. Now its all up to the people to believe it. But he knows certainly that Morgan would likely come for him for the news and then will be the time to strike. To present the world with proof. For people who have lost their loved ones, their sisters, their mothers, their wives, their children and so many people to come forward and present their side of stories.

Standing in the shadows, a man snickers with proud. Yeah, he has raised the brat correctly. Find the opportunity and strike. He was sure now that many countries affiliated with the World Government will question their decisions.

"Fleet Admiral! We have a report!" A marine from backstage yelled. "The gates of justice have begun to open without anybody's orders! We cannot contact the control room!"

This was just the beginning of the war, and marines have already begun to lose their control.

On the other side, in the Tri Current, the battleship, filled with escapees from the Impel Down, in reality led by 'Straw Hat' Luffy and the 'Chief Of Staff' Of the Revolutionary Army, Sabo, is being led to the war, to rescue the ass of their big brother. The ship was filled with prisoners, who merrily decided to follow Buggy the Clown, accepting him as their captain. On one side, away from the madness of the Buggy Team, standing beside the railings are the former Warlords: Crocodile and Jimbei, along with Ivankov, Sabo and Luffy.

Luffy, after getting himself poisoned with exhaustion in his body language, eyes his big brother, Sabo, who presses his lips and give a glance to Ivankov. He hopes Iva-san could handle the situation.

"Sabo!" Luffy whined. "I need it~! Please!" Sabo understands the importance of it, right now. They have a war to fight and can't stand their grounds, unless they have full power. Luffy after losing 10 years of his life, from exhaustion should not even run around freely, but he can get healed by his mother. And that would be a huge help. Sabo nodded at Ivankov, before flashing a sorry grin for the problem they were about to put him into.

Luffy grinned cheerfully and stood up and without warning, flipped in the air and dived into the ocean with a splash. Sabo quickly checked the reaction of the people, he could see Jimbei about to jump after his idiotic brother, and Crocodile stare wide eyed as the teenager jumped. The escapees freaked out on the deck and a pale looking Buggy, whose face became more paler, thinks fighting in a war without the insane strength of straw hat.

"Don't worry. I will be with him!" Sabo yells mid way as he jumps after Luffy.

Ivankov rubbed his temple. These brats will sure give others heart attack.

"Why did Straw Hat commit suicide?!" Buggy and Mr. 3 shrieked and the latter was near the railing looking down in the ocean, trying to find the energetic teen and his brother, who jumped off. The ex-prisoners pitied Straw Hat and his brother and thought that Straw hat committed suicide out of frustration that his brother is about to be executed.

"Buggy The Clown and Mr. 2!" Inazuma said in a calm voice, his hands holding his wine glass. "No one is committing suicide. Please refrain from creating panic." That made Buggy and Mr. 2 relax a bit. But not completely.

"Aren't they both fruit users?!" Crocodile asked as he still can feel the wind, which is unnatural and speeding up their boat. Specially the dark clouds.

"No, Sabo-boy isn't," Ivankov said calmly and held onto Jimbei who was trying to sneak past him and dive after the boys.

"Jimbei," Ivankov grabs Jimbei not allowing him to follow the brothers in the ocean. He doesn't want them to see anything that might lead to future problems for his nephews. "It's fine. Sabo-boy is there with him."

"These are the Calm Belt waters!" Jimbei felt a bit panicked.

Jimbei had promised Ace to keep his younger brothers safe. What was he supposed to say if the brothers die here?! At first when Ace had described his brothers and asked him to take care of them, but he had not heard him. 'Cause he only protects and takes care of people who gains his respect. Even after all the crazy stories Ace had spun about his brothers, and told how reckless they were, at least the youngest one. He had taken all those with a grain of salt. Even when Thatch had told how true it was, he had not believed it. But now that, he is seeing things live, seeing their determination to protect Ace and even ready to throw their lives in the war for their big brother, he felt them worthy of his respect.

Ivankov stood at the railings with Inazuma and tried to block anyone who dared to jump in for rescuing the brothers. He was glad to know that people care about his nephews, but sorry, he can't let them dive in.

"Shouldn't they already- AHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Mr. 2 yelled in mid sentence when three sea kings appeared behind Ivankov. The whole deck, was screaming in fear, while some escapees who were brave enough, pointed their weapons at the sea kings. Crocodile was ready to slit them open when Luffy and Sabo were flung on the deck with a large wave, which luckily didn't destroy the already battered ship.

"STOP!" Luffy yelled. "They are my friends. They will help us in getting to the war in time." That seemed to calm down many as they lowered their weapons. But some cowards still questioned like Buggy.

"How can you say they won't attack us?!" Buggy shrieked in fear. He didn't want to die by being food for sea kings. Meanwhile, Inazuma had fetched some ropes and threw them to Sabo, who threw the ropes to the sea kings who held it and started pulling the boat faster.

"Why will they?" Luffy pouted as he stood up. His bloodied and batted body was completely healed. "They always listen me!" Luffy grinned ear to ear, and said it like it was a normal thing.

"How can you do that?" Jimbei asked as he raised his eyebrow. As much as he knows only one mermaid in the whole world can communicate and order sea kings. Not any humans. But something about the youngest brother of Ace-kun did seem odd. Why does he feel the urge to obey, to listen, to trust, to respect and to love him automatically as if he is the king of the seas. He can't understand, but after this incident, he is sure their is something big, the brothers are hiding. Not that, it is his place to question. He vividly remembers talking with Ace-kun in the gloomy cell.

Ace had laughed. "Luffy, the youngest monkey, is full of mystery and surprises. He is not someone you should mess with though."

Jimbei felt himself laughing inwardly. 'Being a mystery and full of surprises is an understatement, Ace-kun.' He saw Luffy tilt his head and about to reply when Sabo jumped in."Jimbei-kun," Sabo said with a cheery smile, but he could sense the threat behind the smile. "We need to excuse ourselves, due to our wet, damp clothes."

"Sabo is the wise one among us, always pulling out of situations which would lead us into trouble." Ace had fondly smiled.

"Wait!" Crocodile spoke this time. "I can neither see a drop of water on Straw Hat nor you." That earned huge gasps from everyone. Luffy was plainly laughing his 'shishishi' while Sabo was giving a restraint smile, which meant pain, for anyone who dared to question further. Even if they would lose some power houses in the war, it would be ok, unless Luffy isn't busted.

Before anyone could question further, Ivankov took a stand in front of the brothers. "But they do need fuel in their bodies and need to change their bloodied, dirty clothes, Croco-boy." That helped the brothers from further questioning from the few escapees from Impel Down. Though that didn't stop the whispering from them, who started questioning how the brothers didn't look exhausted but full of energy and had no wounds visible anymore.
