[Chapter Size: 2000 Words.]
Third Person POV
Marineford, First Half of Grandline.
...
...
"What are you saying? That 20 Navy ships have lost contact with this thing?!" Sengoku shouted angrily into the den den mushi.
"Yes, all the ships just disappeared..." The G-1 officer spoke from the other side of the line.
"Tsk..." Sengoku gritted his teeth before hanging up the den den mushi.
"It seems Whitebeard has started to act... I don't think it was Luffy doing this." Garp's voice was heard from the side as Sengoku sighed.
"We've lost many men and warships even before the war has started..." Sengoku murmured as he stood up. "First the disappearance of the Tenryuubito, an investigation found wreckage at sea, all the ships were blown up without a chance to attack..." Sengoku reported the autopsy he received from the Gorosei.
"It seems things are getting bad for the Marines." Garp commented, he no longer had his usual humor, his face somber with everything that was happening.
"Yes, but this was always a risk we would run as soon as the war was proclaimed with Ace's capture and execution." Sengoku commented as he walked past Garp, who remained silent and stopped at his side.
"And you, Garp, will you betray this organization when the time comes?" Sengoku asked directly, meeting the eyes of his old companion.
"I will fight for justice, and even if that moment comes, I will accept it..." Garp spoke with some determination he found within himself.
Sengoku accepted his words and nodded. "Now, I will go to a meeting with the Shichibukai." He said, leaving the room.
Sengoku continued walking through the corridors of Marineford while the place was bustling with people running in all directions as they prepared for battle, many of them stopping to salute the fleet admiral.
He headed to a specific room, Tsuru was at its entrance. "You finally arrived." She commented.
"I had some issues reported from G-1. We'll talk about it later, now let's see our guests." He said, and she nodded, with some marines opening the door as they entered the place, which had a huge table.
There were 6 people there, of different sizes, some giants, others small, talking to each other while mocking one another. These were the 6 Shichibukai who came to fight in Marineford.
"Kishishishi. Doflamingo, look at you." Moria mocked Doflamingo, who was still covered in bandages.
"Do you want to die, Moria?" Doflamingo growled.
"..." Hancock sat in silence, ignoring everyone.
"..." Kuma also remained silent.
"Ziahahahaha. I heard you provoked this, calling them all to attack you at once." Teach couldn't help but mock, seeing Doflamingo's state covered in many bandages.
"Say one more thing and I will kill you." Doflamingo growled at Teach.
"Kishishishi!" Moria began to laugh.
"Sorry, sorry..." Teach raised his hands as if he was apologizing, but still showed a toothless smile.
"Moria, you got beaten by Monkey D. Luffy, I don't know why you're laughing so much at Doflamingo..." Mihawk commented.
"Tsk. I almost won." Moria commented.
"..." Kuma remained silent.
'These bastards, I will kill them as soon as I can for speaking about my husband...' Hancock had her eyes closed while thinking about Luffy like the lovestruck girl she was.
"I see you are getting along," Sengoku approached at that moment with Tsuru.
Everyone fell silent with Sengoku's presence. "Well, let's begin..." He said as the meeting started.
Sengoku began to go over all the points they expected from this group. While everyone who had already fought the Straw Hats had different thoughts.
"Ziahahahaha. Will he really show up? This will be very interesting, Ziahahahaha!" Teach began to laugh and speak loudly, but also knew that Luffy's presence could destroy his plans, so he had some doubts in his heart.
"Tsk." Doflamingo gritted his teeth.
"Mu-Gi-Wa-Ra...." Moria said angrily as he pronounced that name.
"Let's see how much you have grown, Roronoa Zoro..." Mihawk commented.
"..." Kuma had undergone his surgery, he no longer had an opinion on the matter.
"..." Hancock remained silent, but in her mind, she was boiling. 'Luffy, when you arrive, we will fight all our enemies as a couple!' She screamed.
The meeting continued, meanwhile, beneath the waters known as the Tarai Current, several Sea Kings continued to escort the Black Pearl heading to Impel Down.
In the air, a ship made of gold continued following the vivre-card while Enel steered.
"How are the false gods?" Enel asked.
"Imprisoned and beaten, they're screaming that we're going to die in the worst possible ways. But I started beating them." Hugo commented.
"Woolf Woolf!" Chouchou barked.
"And Chouchou bit some of them too." Hugo added.
"That was quite easy..." Enel couldn't help but speak arrogantly.
"We eliminated everyone involved, even that CP0 agent didn't stand a chance." Hugo commented and looked curiously at the ex-god of Skypiea. "Your ability also restricts a person's vital field, preventing the vivre-card from finding them... it truly is a terrifying ability." He concluded.
"There is nothing that a god like me cannot do..." he said.
"HOOO." Chouchou mocked.
"Want to die, mutt?" Enel asked while sparking with electricity, Chouchou doing the same.
"..." Hugo just rolled his eyes at their argument, which was quite routine.
In Sabaody, Bartolomeo finally docked at Sabaody but was crying over Luffy's departure, which was announced in the newspaper, believing he had gone to the New World.
"Luffy-Sempai...!" He cried while his entire crew did the same.
"Who are those weirdos?" Bege looked from a distance, seeing the crew in tears, and mocked.
"Just another random pirate." Basil said, shrugging as he continued with his group to another place.
Meanwhile, in Shakky's bar, Rayleigh was drinking a bottle of wine. "So it will start in a few days..." he commented.
"How do you think the war will end?" Shakky asked, putting a hand on her chin.
"I don't know, but it will definitely change the world." Rayleigh commented thoughtfully.
"I hope it ends well for Mugiwara-boy." She said, looking around her bar. "He scared away all my customers, no one has come since the fight after hitting the Tenryuubito..." she complained a bit.
"You still have some customers..." Rayleigh smiled as there were still two more people in the bar.
"They'll be cheering for Mugiwara-Boy." Shakky commented with a smile, as Camie was drinking juice and Bonney eating pizza.
"That's right!" Camie shouted with her starfish on her shoulder.
"Don't forget to pay the bill later... 100 million for the juice." Shakky warned.
"WHAT?! 100 MILLION?!" Camie screamed with a shocked expression.
"100 million?! That's robbery!" Bonney also shouted.
Another day passed, and the world was increasingly focused on Marineford. The World Government had dispatched its group to assist Marineford, flying in the sky towards the Navy HQ.
Meanwhile, Sengoku was in his office, tapping his finger on the table. He looked directly at the den den mushi. Everything was ready as they finalized everything for the battle to begin.
"The time has come." He said finally, as he moved his hand to the communicator and dialed a number.
"Hello! The director is busy in the bathroom at the moment." A female voice came from the other side.
"Tell Magellan to start moving the prisoner to Marineford." Sengoku said, as the ships were already passing through the Gate of Justice heading towards the prison.
"Understood, Fleet Admiral!" The woman on the other side spoke.
The chief jailer, Domino, saw that Sengoku had hung up the den den mushi and went to the bathroom door, which didn't have a pleasant smell.
"Director Magellan, an order came from HQ! We have to escort Portgas D. Ace!" She shouted.
"Understood! Wait another 5 minutes, I mean, 20 minutes!" He shouted as a farting sound was heard.
"..." The woman remained silent as she stepped back and waited for the director to come out.
The Navy ship continued sailing with Kuzan and Akainu escorting it.
"Is something wrong, Kuzan?" Akainu noticed Kuzan's strange behavior, looking at the sea as if trying to see something within it.
"I have a strange feeling..." He murmured, but his haki couldn't identify anything there.
"Let's just focus on the mission." Akainu advised, while the ship continued heading to Impel Down, and Kuzan stopped looking at the sea and focused on the escort mission.
Ace was not having an easy time... Imprisoned alongside people he knew very well, while he remained silent with someone beside him still trying to break free.
Then there were sounds of footsteps on that sixth floor, a floor not known to most people for housing the world's worst criminals.
The director of Impel Down himself appeared with an escort, and immediately all the cells started mocking Magellan as he passed by, breaking the silence that had been there.
While some people remained silent, being the most dangerous of all, an ex-Shichibukai watched the scene unfolding in front of him in silence.
"..." Even members of Roger's former crew watched with a calculating look.
An ex-director of this prison clicked his tongue seeing the scene.
Many other prisoners, as dangerous as the last, watched in silence while their colleagues shouted at the director.
"Shut up!" Magellan said as his body transformed into poison, making everyone fall silent the next moment, after all, Magellan could kill them there with them chained.
Magellan continued walking until he reached the cell with three people, with one trying everything to escape. "Portgas D. Ace, you will be escorted to Marineford." Magellan said as his agents began to open the cell and remove the chains that connected Ace to the cell wall, with Ace remaining silent the entire time.
They simply took him, and Ace didn't seem to show any resistance as he continued with them. "ACEEE!!" A voice came from behind him, but he ignored it as he walked out.
It didn't take long for him to enter the elevator and return to the surface, as Ace was escorted to the Navy ship with 2 Admirals and 10 warships around to escort them with Vice-Admirals.
"Portgas D. Ace, your death will be for the good of everyone in this world." Akainu greeted him calmly, while Kuzan remained silent.
Ace did not respond and went to the ship's prison, as the Navy ships finally started departing, disappearing on the horizon as they headed for HQ.
"Finally they left!" A Marine commented, sighing in relief as he watched the ships disappear on the horizon.
"Yes, at least the war won't come to us..." Another colleague commented.
Everyone in Impel Down was fearing a possible war between them and Whitebeard attacking the prison to rescue his son. However, what they didn't expect was that the clouds of war wouldn't spare them either.
Because underwater, immense shadows began to appear, but without anyone noticing them.
"We have arrived." The voices of the Sea Kings were heard by Luffy and Shirahoshi.
"Thank you very much, Sea Kings-sama!" The mermaid said as everyone realized they had arrived.
"Prepare everyone, we will start our plan as soon as Enel begins! Give me the den den mushi." Luffy said to everyone while grabbing the den den mushi that Robin kept on her table next to the chair where she was reading a book.
After some time in the space above Impel Down, Enel had arrived along with the submerged ship. "The paper points downward, we have finally arrived." He said as his den den mushi began to ring.
The operation to invade the prison had finally begun.
At Marineford, Teach was with his companions. "So they are escorting the commander here, Ziahahahaha." Teach laughed as one of his crew members intercepted the Navy's channel while hiding.
"What do we do now, Captain?" Burgess asked with a smile.
"We will start our plan, Ziahahahaha. Let's go to Impel Down!" He said as everyone nodded.
