82 Pay your Father Debt.

The yellow light was so fast like a flash moving away from the platform location.

"*RUMBLE*" But behind it a bolt of golden lightning moving even faster following him all the way.

The golden lightning suddenly stopped and revealed a woman holding her spear in one hand aiming at the yellow flash that is moving away.

"Go*Rumble*" With all her power the woman threw the spear which flew even faster than the flash. Everyone only felt a flash of golden yellow shadow passed on top of them.

*BOOOOM**RUMBLE* The spear was so fast and penetrated the yellow light and finally hit the ground behind it. Which made a huge explosion.

The light also fall down after being penetrated on the ground beside the spear and which made another big explosion.

"This woman..... So strong... Almost like a monster naaaa" from the explosion, a group of yellow lights gathered and Borsalino who's glasses were already broken and said with his usual wretched tone. But his eyes were so gloomy at this moment. He doesn't like this fight, his best adventure doesn't work against Mary which made him annoyed.

He raised his eyes up but then turned his eyes back looking at the place where the spear fell.

On the spear golden lightning generated and soon the lightning formed a golden woman holding the spear with her left arm while looking at him with an evil smile.

"You are so fast... Yellow lamp" Mary said this and pulled the spear from the ground.

But she suddenly found that Borsalino disappeared.

Seeing this Mary directly fixed the spear back to the ice she's standing in.

*WIIIIG* From behind her, Borsalino gathered himself again and raised his leg and attack toward her head.

Mary already noticed him and didn't dodge.

Because at this moment, under her, the ice color turned to gold already and shined as if it's about to...

*BOOOOOOOM*

A yellow lightning energy column exploded under her eating both Mary and Borsalino.

Everyone in the war looked at the sadden column that just appeared.

"It's Mary and Borsalino fighting!" "Are they monsters!" Both sides of the navy and pirates looked at this scene with more or less with fear!

Not far away, Tauriel and Kuzan also stopped and looked at their direction, but that's only for a second and the battle continued.

Taureil situation still the same, not daring to get close to Kuzan while kept moving around and throwing slashes from time to time.

But soon a flash appeared on her eyes. She jumped back and took the black sword back to her space pocket.

Then she held only Aduial with her both hands.

Then she raised the sword to the top of her head, while the sword is pointe to the ground. After this, she slowly turned around her self in a circle.

While she's doing this Kuzan already used his ability and tried to freeze her.

But as his attack was about to reach her, Taruiel circle already ended.

As she turned around herself, the sword on her hand shined a stronger blue light.

"This is?!" Kuzan felt threatening from Taureil at this moment and tried to freeze her even faster.

But she already needs her circle. So it's already late.

She slashed the sword towerd the monstrous Ice that was about to devour her.

From her sword, a small sword wave ejected.

*ROOOOOGH*

But this small swing slash moved in a circle and became a huge tornado as its advancing completely destroying everything in its sight!

"Bad!" Kuzan knows that he shouldn't be hit by this slash, so he used his Logia ability and changed his body to ice so he can dodge this sword slash.

"*grin*" But Tauriel at this moment learned from Mary and gave a silly smile.

Seeing this smile Kuzan knows that something wrong will happen. But can't do anything at this pointe.

Because the slash already reached him, But weirdly he found that it didn't hurt him.

But... Carrying his destroyed ice flying away! Because of the sword opposition around him, he couldn't recreate his body again and get out of this sword tornado!

"Since I can't cut or reach you... Then simply I shouldn't fight with ya :3" Taureil looked at the sword tornado leaving further and further away from her sight and said with a silly smile.

Tauriel's way of fighting is so unique, her skills are already one of the peaks of the world, but her physical body strength is nowhere to be compared with them. So she's relying on her skills and the strength of the sword in her hand.

Her sword Aduial allows her to do what she usually can't do. She doesn't need to use her physical power so much, she only needs to focus on what she wants to do by relying on her skills only. And that's the reason why she was able to fight with Mihawk before.

Besides she wasn't able to use such a weird attack before. But after Gray copied Mihawk sword skill and merged together with her own skills.

With her new 49GB Sword skill, Taureil can do more than what she just did. It's just there is no need. After all, it's useless against Kuzan, since she can't get close to him.

...

*BOOM* Sengoku smashed his huge golden fist which clashed with Whitebeard fist making him stepping one step back but Sengoku also took two steps back.

This giants war is not what normal humans can join.

Even Garp didn't attack again and stepped back.

Sengoku ate The Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Daibutsu(Human-Human Fruit, Model: Buddha) a Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit that allows its user to transform into a Daibutsu (a giant gold Buddha) at will.

Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit is ever rarer than Logia-type fruit.

Sengoku not only able to become a Buddha, but his transformation also has a unique feature like every Mythical Zoan-type, that is, his attacks will carry a shock wave blast!

Sengoku's shock wave and whitebeard Quake clash is not something that can be muddled with normally. Even Garp stood back.

After this clash, Whitebeard didn't attack again but looked at Sengoku. Or to be more specific what behinds him.

"DARE YOU!"*BOOM* Whitebeard screamed and hit his weapon on the ground.

With his words, a monstrous tyrant's mental energy exploded from his body. Which affected the mood of the world as if it's about to end.

With his conqueror Haki rage, almost everyone on the battlefield stopped their actions.

No one dared to even move.

Even Taureil and Mary who's fighting with Borsalino stopped their actions and looked at him.

In the execution platform. Sakazuki's right hand already turned to magma and was only a few steps away from Ace.

Sakazuki felt a huge pressure on his shoulder not allowing him to even move one step forward.

He can feel Whitebeard gaze on his back. He knows what that gaze means.

It means death!

If he dared to move a little step forward, that old man will probably try to kill him no matter what!

Sakazuki strained his body and looked back.

His eyes met Whitebeard's eyes.

But he didn't dodge it and even smiled weirdly.

Seeing this smile, Whitebeard already knows what will happen next.

Sakazuki really turned back and even made his magma fist even bigger and directly punished towerd Ace.

All this happened so fast that no one could do anything.

No once expected Sakazuki will act against the rules like this.

"Sakazuki you bastard! STOP!" Not whitebeard, but Garp himself screamed seeing this scene.

But will Sakazuki stop?

Ace is a criminal who should die today.

Killing him now will only shock the spirit of those damn pirates. Which will give more advantages for the navy.

As for the mad whitebeard after that, he belive that Garp and Sengoku can deal with it. After all, they are the navy hero and the fleet admiral. Ther strength should be enough to stop him.

Ace looked at the magma fist that coming toward his face and closed his eyes as if accepting his fate.

His heart at this moment is so calm and clear. Many memories flashed inside his mind.

It's a shame that he couldn't see his brother for the one last time...

*BOOOOM*

A huge explosion occurred on top of the execution platform.

The pirates who saw this couldn't help but fall to shock... Ace was killed!

Almost everyone on the battlefield couldn't help but stop and look at the explosion!.

Not only them, but the entire world entered a silent moment at this time.

"Aceeeeeeeeeeeee!" The whitebeard commanders couldn't help but scream with pain.

Even some already cried with tears!

But weirdly Whitebeard was so calm at this moment looking at the smoke that is about to be cleared.

Not only him, but even Garp and other strong people also looked there with deep eyes.

The smoke slowly went away revealing what happened up there.

Ace still the same looking at the two people who appeared around Sakazuki, with wide and shocked eyes.

Not only him, but almost everyone had the same reaction.

"Gurararar, Sengoku looks like am not the only one who came to save Ace here! Whitebeard said with a funny tone.

"...." As for Sengoku, his face already turned color many times after seeing who just appeared.

In front of Ace is an old man wearing round glasses and long white hair, holding his sword defending in front of him.

But weirder is that Sakazuki didn't reach this old man sword, but was actually stopped by a black huge hand coming from the ground that was already turned to black under.

"Looks like... I worried for nothing..." Rayleigh looked at the dark hand in front of him and said with a revealed smile.

"Well... for you to appear here that's so surprising" From behind Sakazuki, Another long white-haired man with bright silver eyes shining, looked at Rayleigh with a funny smile.

Gray placed his hand on the struggling Sakazuki who's about to break free from his shadow bondage.

As soon as his hand touched him, Sakazuki felt weak and couldn't struggle again.

"This sea curse is really useful... I should keep some and use them when I want to catch someone!" Gray thought while looking at Sakazuki who's looking at him and Rayleigh with shock.

Just a simple touch from sea breath attribute made such a strong man kneel..... Good thing he doesn't have such a thing inside him!

"Since you are here, I think a retired man like me shouldn't appear, so I'll leave things for you!" Rayleigh smiled strongly and said to Gray in front of him, then he looked at Ace behind him with weird light in his eyes.

"You..... doesn't resemble him at all!" Rayleigh said heartless thing for Ace and jumped all the way to the sea direction.

"Huh? Who's that old man? Doesn't resemble who?" Ace couldn't' understand what just Rayleigh said, after all, he doesn't know who's Rayleigh is!

Seeing Rayleigh left the war, Sengoku somehow felt reviled. Face one leaving legend is enough, two is not what he wishes to see. But looks like... They lost this war!

Somehow Sengoku couldn't help but hope that the support reaches soon!

"Damn Pira...!!!!!!!*BOOM*" Sakazuki who already awakened from shock screamed loudly and wanted to say something, but Gray gave him a good punch which also flew him far away.

"Annoying dog..*WIIIG*... Finnaly got a good look at the real you Ace....*RUMBLE*... How is it? are you satisfied with everything just happened here?*BOOM*" Gray Lowered his head to Ace level and asked him with a weird smile. While he's talking, Borsalino appeared behind Gray, apparently want to stop him from helping Ace, but Mary followed him like his own shadow and kicked him away.

"You...." Ace heard Gray's question and understand what he means. But he found himself can't answer.

"Yeah... I also think so, it will be ridiculous if you're really satisfied. You brothers are dying to save you because you didn't listen to them and wanted to follow a dirty traitor, while you're staying here with no power to do anything, just keep watching them fall down one by one. Those navy soldier down there are fighting to save the justice that most of the world believe in, sacrificing their life, even though most of them have families waiting for them out there.... *sigh* War is not a funny thing if you think about it" Gray said so much and even said some of his real thoughts.

Not only Ace, but everyone in the battle calmed down hearing Gray words.

"Well, well... Don't look so sad like this, it's not like I blame you, in fact, am more messed up than you somehow, believe it or not, I had a chance to prevent all this from happening, but I didn't and even wished for it happen, or my goals won't be achieved so easily like this!" Gray placed his hand on his shoulder while talking.

Gray said what he said just now, but he didn't feel guilt on his heart. Even though he left the empty dark fruit before which made everything happen till now. But in fact, most of those things including this war, are the fault of others. So he won't hold a mentality of "It's all my fault" or the like.

From Ace's shadow, black smoke climbed and wrapped the sea stone handcuffs behind him.

"Aceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!" In the weird mood suddenly a scream from the sky came awakened everyone.

Everyone looked at the sky not far away from the war.

What they saw is a ship, a huge ship flying at a very fast speed crashing directly to the ice field. And form the ship a group of people came out!

"Luffy!" Ace saw Luffy and stood up with shook.

Yes, he can already stand up because Gray already removed the handcuffs from his hand.

Luffy directly left the ship and run to where Ace is! This boy is so excited to see Ace is still alive.

No only Luffy, but his crew and a group of prisoners who run away with him.

Jinbe and Crocodile, the two former warlords were also with them.

"Well... I did what I should do... Now it's time to pay your father's debt..." Gray said this and put his hand on Ace's shoulder.

*Extraction* Gray extracted Ace body two times, which takes both the Fire source and sea curse attribute from Ace.

Feeling that he lost his ability, Ace was shocked again, But Gray didn't explain to him and disappeared from the place.

Seeing Gray leaving him between all those navies who are looking at him with dangerous eyes, Ace panicked, this man abandoned him heartlessly. At least gave back my ability!

But from his shadow, a hand wrapped his leg and pulled him down to the darkness.

When Ace come back to his mind again, he was already beside Luffy who hugged him with a big smile.

...

With this, the navy and pirates became more violent than before. The pirate trying to make a way for Ace, so he can come back to their side. While the navies are trying their best to stop the pirates and Ace who's already running away.

"You can't go!" Sakazuki scream came from behind Ace and his first became magma, shooting at Ace back.

But a fast arrow almost like a bullet flew at a very fast speed and hit his first.

*BOOM* Weirdly the arrow power was so big which made an explosion hitting Sakazuki magma fist.

Sakazuki stepped back a few steps and looked at his fist that was almost destroyed.

But then he jumped away from the place he was standing in.

*BOBOBOBOBOOOM* Many arrows flew from the sky directly bombed the place where he was standing in.

Not far away, Legolas holding his bow aiming at Sakazuki who's dodging his arrows with a smile.

But from his back, he suddenly felt a cold chill hugging his back.

*Sword slash* But before he moves, Tauriel appeared behind him, and cut all the ice that was about to hit Legolas. And stood with him back to back.

"Like the old days! (Elvish language)" Legolas saw Tauriel appeared behind him and took his two unique short swords.

Both of him and Tauriel smiled while looking at both admirals who are standing not far away from them.

Kuzan at this moment is so angry, the anger he's feeling right now is so... funny.

What happened just before? Why he didn't appear till now? That damn tornado slash sword energy was so strong which didn't give him any chance to even recreate his body. And because of this, he couldn't stop it, just by relying on his freezing ability he finally managed to freeze it and stop it

And soon as he came back to the war, he saw Legolas, who's aiming at Sakazuki, naturally, he attacked him, but the woman who played him before appeared again!

...

"TIGGG"

Mary's golden spear and Borsalino light sword clashed together.

"Hey monkey, let's make a deal! How about we both stop fighting and just keep watching form the side?" Mary looked at Borsalino in front of her and said.

"That's a good suggestion, but I can't do this as a navy admiral you know*BOOM* So how about you just surrender? This will make things easier for both of us!" Borsalino said and raised his finger and shot another laser gun which penetrated Mary's heart and made an explosion behind her while talking.

Mary looked at the ugly face in front of her and started to get annoyed. This *teeeet* is so getting into her nerve, in fact, she can't hurt him, nor he can hurt her. But like this, she will lose. Every time she uses her ability, her strength is drained away.

While thinking about how to defeat this ugly monkey, she suddenly saw black smoke rising from Borsalino's shadow.

"*Evil smile* Hey... tell me, What will happen if you lost your ability?" Mary looked at Borsalino and asked.

"What?" Borsalino didn't understand Mary's question at first, but soon he understood.

Without even noticing, Gray already appeared behind him and put his hand on his shoulder.

*Extraction!*

With Gray thought, Borsalino's light sword suddenly lost it's power and disappeared, and Borsalino himself felt extremely weak!

"This time... Really caught ya" Mary took the chance and threw her strongest punch directly hitting the monkey face throwing him away.

"The last goal" Gray didn't look at Borsalino who's looking at him with shock and fear not far away, But looking at the bluebird that is flying not far away from him.

Then he raised his palm that already turned to dark and emitting dark smoke from it.

"Come!...

....

In the air, Marco looked at the scene around him, and finally, his heart calmed down. Looks like this war is their win...

But the only problem is...

Marco looked at his father(whitebeard) and Sengoku's fight and didn't know what he should do.

It's as if.. his father is enjoying this fight!

But Sengoku and Garp is.... Wait... were is Garp?!

Marco didn't have the time to think and felt absorption power attracting him to the ground.

"What is this?!" Marco tried to struggle, but he couldn't do anything and helplessly was sucked to the ground.

"Marcooo!" Many whitebeard's pirate notice Marco's situation looked where he's falling to, and soon they saw Gray who's looking at Marco flying to his side with a smile. So they guessed that this should be because of him.

"Bad!" Some nearby pirates tried to attack Gray, so Marco could get free, but Mary beside Gray turned them to gold. Even Borsalino used to shave and run to Gray's side and attacked him with his strong Haki.

Even though he lost his power, and Borsalino is so reliable on his fruit ability. But being an Admiral is not just a fruit ability. His skills are already at the top of many fields.

Gray of course protected himself and jumped away, but his hand wasn't lowered and kept sucking Marco to his side.

Gray ignored the people around him who are trying to stop him, whether it's navy or pirates, and focused at Marco who's about to be caught by him.

But suddenly Gray felt a crisis. Looked around he saw what this crisis source.

Whitebeard holding the space in both hands, then he turned the space upside down.

Yes... Letterly upside down.

The problem is. that he himself felt the world changed around him at this moment.

The place where he was standing suddenly cracked and his area went down while the other parts of the island broke and started to move up. Which made him miss Marco who was very close to him.

"Damn old man! I won't let it go!" Gray screamed and flew himself to Marco this time.

...

"Retreat!" Whitebeard screamed to his sons after seeing Ace and the others already retreated to his side. There is no need to continue this war anymore.

And looked at Sengoku in front of him with a shallow smile.

"Damn Newgate!*BOOM*" Sengoku wasn't affected by the attack just now, but screamed with anger for the damage Marineford received just now! So he screamed and attacked again.

"Taking my son, naturally you guys have to pay the price !" Whitebeard said with a smile and fight with Sengoku again.

...

Gray held Marco in his hand and looked at him with a helpless smile.

"Damn Gray! What do you want?!" Marco looked at Gray with weakness, he really can't understand why Gray wants to catch him like this.

"Didn't Legolas tell you that I'll take my payment?" Gray dragged Marco with him and said while moving to the ship that Legolas and Luffy came with from the begging in front of him.

"Payment? Then why are you taking me like this!?" Marco couldn't help but remember the scene before.

Before they sail to the war, Legolas which is Gray companion came to meet them.

At first, they couldn't understand why Gray sent Legolas, But after hearing Legolas' words, they understand.

Gray offered Whitebeard youth for a few days in exchange for something they have.

Legolas didn't say what is it.

When they heard Legolas, almost everyone on the ship was excited! Youth whitebeard? They couldn't imagine such a thing. They know how strong their father was before. Unfortunately, he wasn't the same anymore.

Whitebeard wasn't ready to accept this weird offer, who is he? Whitebeard! He doesn't need the help of anyone to save his son.

But after seeing his son's eyes, he lowered his pride and accepted. After all, the stronger he is, the safer his sons will be in this war.

As for what payment Legolas wants, as long as it's not his sons life he won't care about it.

After accepting his offer, Legolas actually let another pink-haired woman help his father. And that woman they know!

A new rookie pirate! Jewelry Bonney! That woman actually has such a weird fruit ability! This surprised everyone on the ship.

Yes, Jewelry Bonney is the little girl Gray saw in Sabaody Archipelago hotel before going to the Marineford before.

Gray was thinking about what Baccarat said to him in the room at that time. So he figured out that he should do something more to be safer.

From her words, something sad will happen... He doesn't know what was she talking about. But he's sure it's not something good at all.

Even though he trusted his and his partner's strength. But because of this trust, he became extra careful. So he came up with two plans.

One of them is to power up Whitebeard. As soon as he saw Bonney and thought of her ability, Gray came up with this idea.

Reason? In case the navy was planning to betrayal them or had any other plan. Gray is not one hundred percent sure he will counterattack without any accident. After all, Sengoku's power is not a joke! Let's not say him, maybe one of his companions will get hurt or even worst...

But like this, they won't have time to focus on them!

And that's the disaster he made in Mary's mouth.

"Well, we are here! Baccarat, come help me fix my luck!" Gray entered the ship and asked Baccarat who's hiding inside with Perona. The reason he didn't extract Marco till now, because he's not sure if his luck is still enough to get what he wants.

Something like this happened before, so to be safe, he will fix his luck again, after all this is his last chance to extract in this world.

Baccarat and Perona run to his side directly.

After fixing Gray luck, Gray extracted Marco fruit.

"Wha! What did you do! why I can't use my ability!!" Marco looked at himself and asked Gray with panic.

"Isn't it clear? This is the payment, I need your fruit ability so I just took it" Gray looked at Marco and answered with a calm voice.

"You.....Damn! Gave it back!" Marco knows that he shouldn't stay here anymore, but losing his ability is not what he can accept!

Looking at the angry Marco in front of him, Gray thought of something and caught him again.

Not carrying about Marco screams, he simply copied both armament and observation Haki to him. Marco already has them, but a much lower level.

He told him about the fact that he can't eat another fruit ability because he still has the curse inside him, if he can remove it, then he can find another fruit for himself, Then Gray simply took both Mary and Perona's hands and entered the shadow disappearing from the place.

looking at Gray disappearing, Marco calmed down very much after feeling his new power.

Then a big helpless smile appeared on his face and run away from the ship.

....
