Chapter 4
'The weather patterns, the raging seas, the stormy wind, which was not there a while ago, this all indicates to one thing: The 3Cs are here. And it all started after the rookie, Straw Hat Luffy with his other brother, landed on the battlefield.' Sengoku eyes Ace. 'The duration in which Cole disappeared and Portgas D. Ace appeared seem to be same. The same goes for Cyra and Cyane. When they both disappeared, Straw Hat Luffy appeared and The Revolutionary Army got a Chief Of Staff.' Sengoku looked at the other blonde brother of Ace. 'This man looks exactly like the rumours of the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, the right-man hand of Dragon.'
"Fleet Admiral!" A marine saluted. "We have got information that we have Chief of Staff of The revolutionary Army, The Blue Gentleman,fighting in the war."
Sengoku nodded and raised a hand as a sign of dismissal. So, his doubts are perfectly clear. The 3Cs were indeed a revolutionary group, which acted as pirates and two members of that group: Cyra and Cole, left to become infamous pirates, while the other became the right hand man of Dragon.
Sengoku gave a very, very sweet smile to Garp, keeping his breath steady. "Garp!" But he hissed. "Did you know your grandsons were the members of the 3Cs? Fire Fist Ace as Cole, Sabo as Cyane and Strawhat Luffy as Cyra!?" He sees Garp chuckle and Ace glare at him and it confirms his suspicions.
"Garp!" Sengoku roared. "I swear I'll kill you myself." All those years they had been searching for the identities of the masked 'pirates' and all those years, his idiot best friend knew them. Damn it, it's always his family which are the core of the troublemakers! He gives a sharp glare at Garp, who have the audacity to laugh, 'cause he knows he would never kill him!
Sengoku holds the den den mushi in his hands as he sees how pathetically the marines are fighting and are freaked out.
"What do you think you are doing, allowing some brats to shift the flow of battle?!" Sengoku yelled in his pissed off voice. "Those men are another dangerous elements! Not only were they raised together with Ace as their adoptive brother, 'Straw Hat' Luffy is also the flesh and blood son of the Revolutionary Dragon!" Sengoku could hear the gasps of the marines and pirates alike.
"Not only that, Sabo, is the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, The Bloody Gentleman. Moreover, the trio monster brothers, were also the assumed 'pirate' group The 3Cs. Cole being Ace, Cyane being Sabo and Cyra being Luffy! We need to eradicate these future threats," Sengoku could hear the growling coming from Ace, who looked ready to pounce on him any moment, if not for his chains.
The marines panicked at hearing those words. They can now understand the fate of the ones who were trying to harm the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army's brother. The Chief was whispered to be strong, and ruthless, with no pity or empathy for his enemies. No one had known his name up until now. In the eyes of the World Government, he was more mysterious than even Dragon. At least they had Dragon's name, but for the Chief, they had nothing. Except for the fact that the dying people, always told with their dying breaths, about him wearing noble clothes and having blonde hair.
Meanwhile, the news reporters in Saboady freaked out and started calling here and there, announcing the freaking news.
Luffy faced against a giant and uses 'Gear Third' to make a giant fist. Sabo used his pipe and claws to crush the skulls of the marines. They could care less of the information, moreover, the 3Cs have disbanded the moment Ace had left.
And for Sabo, whose status and face was revealed to the world, it didn't matter anymore. Sabo's love was always to live in shadows, to work and experience all the world's worst, which it had to offer. But Sabo didn't mind throwing it all away for his brothers, who are more precious than anything the world has to offer him.
He stayed in the dark, keeping his existence like shadow to make sure that when he struck, he wouldn't be noticed. He is the assassin in the family, the only one who didn't appear in the light. But for his brothers, he would do anything. Even if it meant to participate in a war and throw away his identity for the marines to see. He would do it. For he knew his brothers would do anything for him likewise.
"Luffy!" Ace shouted, one last attempt to get his brothers out of this mess. "Sabo! Leave!" Ace didn't like how things were going. 'Sorry, Sabo! It's 'cause of me, you were exposed. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry, Lu! 'Cause of me, you are in risk of being discovered too!'
"I don't care what you say I'm going to save you even if it kills me!" Luffy yells loudly and charges with his giant fist to the giant marines and also gets a smack on his head from Sabo for talking about dying.
"Marco," Whitebeard grins. "Don't let the boys die."
Marco nods and a small smile graces on his lips.
"ACEEE! GET YOURSELF TOGETHER! OR LUFFY WILL DO SOMETHING IDIOTIC AGAIN!" A pissed off Sabo yelled to Ace, who stiffen up his lower lip, to stop himself from crying. But wait- what does Sabo mean again?! He will ask that later for sure.
"This is more of a reason to execute Ace-" Sengoku speaks in the den den mushi, but gets interrupted by the shouts of the brothers.
"SHUT UP!" The duo brothers growl in anger. In the background, a deafening thunder cackles and clouds roar violently. Marines and pirates alike run around to save themselves from the lightening bolts falling from the sky.
The war is turned upside down by the landing of two unpredictable forces: Straw Hat Luffy and Chief Of Staff Of The Revolutionary Army, Sabo. At this point, only a few battleships remain standing, with them being attacked by giant sea kings. The battleships were already in terrible shape, and now being surrounded by sea kings, who are tearing them off, doesn't help at all.
Ace grits his teeth, in anger, anger on himself, for his recklessness. He plops his head on the scaffold and sheds tears.
"I don't care what you say I'm going to save you even if it kills me!"
"ACEEE! GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER! OR LUFFY WILL DO SOMETHING IDIOTIC AGAIN!"
"You just wait! We are coming to get you!"
"We won't leave a single one of those bastards who hurt you alive, Ace!"
Ace cries as the words keep on repeating in his head. What did he do to deserve such a family, such brothers.
"What now?" Ace sees Garp grin at him, seeing his inner turmoil fade away.
"I'll not resist anymore." Ace said, his teeth biting his lips. "I was a fool to let my inner monsters come out and control my mind. Not anymore. That's the least I can do. I owe everyone that much." Garp happily pats Ace's back, making Ace grin a bit.
The cannons fired relentlessly, the battlefield fills with the noises of the explosions and the brothers get surrounded by marines all again.
On the other side, Whitebeard orders the captains of the fleets to divide themselves into two groups: one attacking from left and another from right. No battleship remain standing at the courtesy- of the lightnings and sea kings.
"Garp!" Sengoku hissed carefully. "Care tell me, how your grandsons are showering lightening blots on the warships." Sengoku looked at the sea stone handcuffs of Ace, making sure he is tied. "And how are the waves raging when Cole is here. Wait, for another note, how the fuck can they control waves, winds and storms when one of them is tied to sea stone handcuffs!? And another notable point, isn't Ace the user of Mera Mera no mi?!" [A/n: I hope you guys remember how Senguko self assumed that Cole, Cyra and Cyane have devil fruit powers which allows them to control waves, winds and storms]
Garp chuckled. "Who told that Ace or Sabo have such powers?" Ace growled at Garp. "Oops, I was not supposed to say that!"
Sengoku feels a fuse go off in his mind. That means Cyra or Straw Hat Luffy can control winds, waves and storms, all the while being an user of a rubber fruit. That's the most confusing thing he has ever seen or heard of. Did he eat two devil fruits? Nope! That's impossible!
"How the hell does your grandson control those when he is a rubber man?!" Sengoku hissed.
"Shut up!" Ace growled.
"It doesn't matter now. Luffy is strong, he can protect himself." Garp pats Ace. But is still wary of the slip off which he did by mistake.
Sengoku held the den den mushi. "Don't let Straw Hat Luffy live. He is the one who is changing the course of battle."
"I TOLD YOU TO SHUT UP!" Ace growled, making the battleground go quiet for a second and on other side, Sabo's eyes widen as marines, vice admirals, captains everyone starts charging at Luffy. He connects the dots and understands that Lu's some of the secrets have been exposed to the Fleet Admiral.
"Capture Straw hat Luffy at any costs!" Sengoku growled.
"SHUT UP!" Sabo and Ace growled, making several marines collapse, which were surrounding them.
"Don't dare call Luffy's name with your foul mouth!" Ace growled again.
Tashigi and Smoker appear in front of the brothers but are attacked with one punch and thrown across the battlefield. Meanwhile, the brothers kept on charging full speed escaping Marines.
"Out of the way, fool!" Hancock kicks a marine captain blocking her way to the brothers, or Luffy.
"Hancock!" The captain pointed his sword at Hancock, who didn't hear anything. "Do you, too, mean to abandon the Shichibukai?"
"Silence!" Hancock stood on her one leg, with her pet Salome at her side. "I am so filled with rage that I cannot even hear your words! How dare you attack my beloved and make his blood flow?!" Hancock who had seen Luffy's blood drop, shouted and left after the brothers.
"Hancock~!" Luffy grinned at her, turning back, after hearing her voice.
'Ahh...' Hancock's face became flushed, 'He called me Hancock again!'
"Lu! We gotta go!" Sabo yelled, and cringed at Hancock's dance for Luffy.
[A/n: Yeah, Luffy landed on Amazon Lily in this story, which may or may not happen in the further future with the original story.]
"Wait! Luffy! Brother-in-law!" That sent a shiver to Sabo's spine. Hancock sprinted to them and handed the key to Luffy, who passed it to Sabo. "This is the key to your brother's handcuffs!"
Luffy jumps in joy at Hancock's help and hugs her and for a moment, the lightening bolts stop and the sky goes clear. "Hancock~! You really are the best~! Thanks! I'm in your debt!"
"Thank you! Pirate Empress!" Sabo bowed to her genuinely.
As Luffy and Sabo left, the sky turned all grey and the lightening bolts, the roaring clouds and, the thunder cackles all were back. The marines who believed that the weather was finally going to be fine, were disappointed completely.
"Impossible! The pirate Empress was defeated?!" The marines yelled.
'To think that he would embrace me so tightly, is this what they call marriage?' Hancock who was on her knees at the mere hug thought, with her face flushed.
On the other side, Ivankov who was fighting with Kuma, is faced with a cruel reality. Kuma, his best friend, is not Kuma at all by Doflamingo. He declares Kuma dead. But Ivankov doesn't want to believe a word of the pirate.
"Aunt Iva!" Luffy cried, who heard Doflamingo speaking from a distance. "That's not Kuma, or completely Kuma."
"What do you mean Lu?" Sabo asked.
"I can't feel any human emotions from him anymore. It's like he is a robot, not our Bear-ossan!"
"That's impossible! This is most certainly the user of the Paw Paw fruit and that's Kuma! Come on, Kuma, say something!" Ivankov yelled.
"The government scientist Dr. Vegapunk performed the final restructuring of his body. This man is the former Bartholomew Kuma," Doflamingo said with a sadistic grin.
"What?!" Sabo yelled. "Restructuring? Weapon? What the heck are you blabbering?"
"This man volunteered of his own volition to take part in the government's research, becoming a test subject for its human weapon project. First came the hands, then the legs, all while leaving the original man's consciousness intact over an extended periods of time, they restructured each piece of his body, little by little."
"You are lying to us! Kuma detests the government," Ivankov yelled in rage. "He would never do such a ridiculous thing as placing his own life in their hands!"
Kuma starts firing on them, with his laser beams, all the while Sabo, Ivankov and Luffy feel upset and Luffy's eyes become glossy. Kuma and Ivankov were their favorite uncle and aunt, after all.
"There's no use shouting at me, even I don't know what kind of deal the government made with this guy and until mere days, he still had his original personality. However, right now, he has no memory of ever being human. He is nothing more than a monster, PX-0!" Doflamingo said in his sadistic voice, having fun with a boy shedding tears.
"No memories...?" Luffy sniffled and rain started falling like cats and dogs. Making it difficult for pirates and marines alike to move.
"Lu," Sabo hugs Luffy. "We need to save Ace. We can later save Uncle Kuma. I promise! We will come back for him," Luffy nodded at that and wiped his tears off and looked at Ace, who was also crying. He is sure that he heard all about Kuma right now.
Ivankov kept on arguing with Kuma, until he went ahead and started focusing his attacks on Luffy. Ivankov got pissed off and started fighting Kuma, forgetting to hold back at all now.
"Damn it! Kuma!" Ivankov yelled. "What are you doing by attacking your own nephews?! I won't forgive you for that!"
"You can leave this to me!" Ivankov shouted to Sabo and Luffy. "Everyone! Go with Lu and Sabo and back them up!"
"ROGER!" The candies of Ivankov followed the brothers in the direction of the execution platform, taking down the marines in their path.
On the other side, Crocodile used his sand cyclone to remove the marines on his way, giving Sabo an idea, seeing the marines in front of them.
"Lu!" Sabo spoke. "Can you create a cyclone, like that?!"
Luffy nodded and said, "But it will require some concentration!"
"I will carry you, come on! We need to move fast!" Luffy hopped on to Sabo's back and closed his eyes as Sabo ran forward. A mini cyclone started ahead of them, moving forward to the marines and throwing them back. When the path cleared, Dracule Mihawk stood in front of them.
"My apologies, Red Hair. But I will not be merciful with my power," Hawk-eye unsheathed his sword, Yoru.
"Dracule Mihawk!" Sabo said in a pissed off voice. "Lu, create a bigger cyclone! We need to throw Mihawk elsewhere."
Luffy nodded at that and a bigger cyclone encompassed Mihawk, who easily cut through it and came out, but got hit by Sabo's pipe on his head. That amazed Mihawk. He didn't feel the boy coming towards him. He smirked at the worthy opponent, but right now he needs to eliminate Straw Hat Luffy.
A/n:
So, how was this chapter? I hope it was a bit interesting at least. There are many things which were not planned and this story came to existence.
Well, that is for another time!
Have a good day/night!
Over and out!
