288 288. A War is Brewing
"Come and sit here boy, I don't bite," Alexander stated, easing the tense air.
Silver Rayleigh smiled and sat beside him. "So, this must be your last stop in Paradise."
"Haha, absolutely correct. The world will know tomorrow that the World Government is just Half World Government now." Alexander joked.
"Ah, Roger would have loved to see this day. A smack on the World Government's face is always enjoyable." Rayleigh commented.
"So, What's the first mate of Roger Pirates doing here?" Alexander inquired.
"Nothing, just living my retirement peacefully. Coating ships is a pretty satisfying job." He replied and drank from his glass.
"And what would it take to bring you out of this retirement?" Dobby asked.
"Never thought of this, maybe if Roger was to miraculously come back to life." Rayleigh looked like he was taking a trip down the memory lane.
~Haha, he's in for a big surprise then.~
*Ring Ring*
Alexander's phone rang, which was rare these days. It was from Roger.
"Old man, I think I found the Ancient Weapon, Uranus. Though I am not sure but whatever it is it's pretty huge and strange. Come fast." Roger sounded excited on the other side.
Alexander quickly got up. "Dobby, let's go. Important stuff. Okay, Rayleigh and Shakuyaku. See you later maybe."
They both went out and through the Anywhere Door, they reached Roger. Alexander looked around and saw that they were on an uncharted Sky Island.
Roger had probably come to the sky island on the flying carpet he had given him.
"Ah, Alex, follow me." Ragnarok was also there.
"What are you doing here?" Alexander asked.
"I was getting bored so I decided to help him a bit," Ragnarok answered. Alexander just remembered that Roger and Ragnarok had struck up a very good friendship.
"So, what did you find?" He asked. In front of them was a huge temple-like building.
"Come in and see it for yourself."
They followed Ragnarok in and came to an open area. In its center was a humongous ship, bigger than any ship he had seen on the planet till now. Even his warships looked like ants in front of it.
*BOOM*
Roger jumped down from the deck of the ship with a loud thud, "Hahaha, have you ever seen this, Ancient old man? This looks like it's from your time."
Alexander rolled his eyes at the lame joke. ~My Ironheim is bigger than Solar Systems.~
"Hmm, this could be Uranus. It's probably a flying machine/weapon." Alexander remarked.
"You tried to start it up?" He asked.
Roger shook his head, "No, I did see the place from where it gets operated but I couldn't understand a thing. So, I called the smartest person I know."
"I am flattered..." Alexander couldn't complete his sentence as Roger again messed with him.
"So I called my friend Ragnarok. He told me to call you."
"Then boy, this makes you the dumber one. All right. let's go to the ship now." He moved in.
Inside he saw a huge control panel with strange symbols on it. "Ghost, translate it, and project the translations."
Soon everything became clear. It really was a flying ship with very strong weapons. Mainly the central cannon which Alexander estimated could destroy a small satellite like the moon, no wonder it was feared
But he couldn't power it up for some reason. He went to where its engine was and saw a simple electric engine but there was no place to put gas in it. Instead, there was a metal seat with various wires connected to it.
"Dobby, come here and sit on it and try to send as much electricity as you can to the ship." He instructed.
Dobby did as asked and ejected electricity from his body and just as he had guessed the engines started up.
"Of course they would use a devil fruit. The world doesn't have fuel engines even right now, forget 800 years ago." Alexander muttered.
"Where do we take this huge ship, old man?" Roger asked.
"Where else than Raftel? You go with Ragnarok and bring Shirahoshi-chan."
"What about Pluto?" Roger asked further.
"Ah, it turned out. That shipbuilder Tom, that made your ship had designs of Pluto. Pluto was built in Water 7 800 years ago so it must have been passed down from generation to generation. I gave him all the stuff necessary to make it so it should be ready by now." He revealed.
Roger got really excited, "Hahaha, we are so close to knowing the truth now. I'll see you at Raftel then"
Once they left, Alexander looked at Dobby. "Keep Supplying electricity. Let's move it,"
...
Somewhere in the New World,
"Zehahaha... You thought you could kill me? How wrong you are. Didn't Whitebeard teach you anything? The Dark Dark fruit I ate is one of the strongest Devil fruits in the world. Now, I am the strongest.
"Thank you for coming to me. You made my work easier, Portgas D Ace." Marshall D Teach aka Blackbeard spoke. He had Ace pinned down under his foot.
"What the hell were you planning all this time Teach?" Ace asked.
"Zehaha... Your, Whitebeard and that old monster's funeral." Blackbeard confidently claimed.
This time Ace laughed, "Hahaha... You are too naive, Teach. You could maybe kill me, I'd even consider pops dying but not Grandpa. He hasn't even shown 1 percent of his powers yet and the world government shudders at the mention of his name. Imagine what will happen when he gets serious?"
Ace still remembers the incident from his childhood. When Luffy somehow fell into an underground river system in a cave. Luffy was already a Devil Fruit user by then so he and Sabo were helpless. They cried for help and Alexander appeared.
Right in front of them, he ripped out a part of the whole island with a simple move of his finger and they found Luffy in one of the air pockets underground.
That day they truly understood that their Grandpa was not called the strongest being in the world for no reason.
But Blackbeard didn't know that. He still had his confident laugh. "Zehahahaha... Who said I am alone? Big Mom and all the Marine Admirals will be there too."
"That still won't be enough." Ace mocked him. Blackbeard took him to the nearby Marine Base and handed Ace to the Marines.
Blackbeard was still a Shichibukai so he had the luxury of going anywhere.
...
Marineford,
*PERUPERUPERUPERUPERU*
Sengoku picked it up, "What?"
"Okay, escort him to Impel Down. Keep 3 Vice Admirals with him at all times." He ordered and hung up. He looked back at his friend eating rice crackers.
"Garp..." He called him. He knew it was going to be sad news for him.
"I told you before to keep an eye on him. Ace just got arrested and he will surely get executed by the orders from above."
Garp suddenly stopped eating and his always friendly smile vanished.
"I gotta go somewhere, Sengoku. Give me a leave." Garp got up.
"Don't think of going to save him." Sengoku bellowed.
Garp showed him his serious face, "I'm not going to, and believe me Sengoku. But remember one thing, the old man treated Ace like his own Grandson. Imagine what he would do when he finds out. I wonder if there will be a Marineford left."
Sengoku shuddered at the thought of that. "Dammit, I should take retirement."
...
Sphinx Island
"POPS! Bad news. Ace got caught. It was Teach. They are going to execute him in a week." Marco informed Whitebeard.
Whitebeard had now fully recovered from the disease and his magnificent blond hair had also grown back. He stood up and picked up his lance.
"Prepare to sail. A family always watches each other's back. Ace will not die, not as long as I am alive." He sternly announced.
...
The World Government, Marine, and The Blackbeard-Big Mom alliance were all strong. But they were underestimating their enemy a lot. They didn't know that Whitebeard was in perfect health. They didn't know that Roger was alive and they certainly didn't know the scope of Alexander's power. In short, they had dug a hole for themselves and now were just waiting to die and fill those said holes.
A huge war was brewing now and its smell would reach the whole world in no time.
