292. War Starts

The Execution Platform was placed and all the high ranking Marines, all the members of Cipher Pol and Shichibukai were called in. In total, they numbered more than a hundred thousand. This was supposed to be the biggest operation to have ever been conducted by the Marines and World Government.

Ace was brought to the platform and made to sit on it. Beside him stood Garp and Sengoku. The admirals were sitting on their thrones and the Marines were waiting for Whitebeard to show up.

Just then, Sengoku started to speak. "Today, we are not just executing a pirate but ending the son of an evil man. Portgas D. Ace has a very famous father. Tell us your father's name, boy"

Ace smirked, he had lived with his mother his whole childhood and had heard stories about his real father. He had even seen photos of him. And to be honest, he had a very strong doubt that the Robby guy was actually Roger, his father.

Because the way Robby treated him was so... fatherly. But he was smart, he kept up the facade. He was really hoping to see how the Marines would react when he comes. Not to mention, his father in all but name was also much stronger now and healed. He was looking forward to him destroying the Marines.

"Heh... I have two fathers. Which one do you wanna know?" Ace spoke.

"The real one." Sengoku bellowed.

"Well, both are quite real. There's Whitebeard and Gol D. Roger...ah, I remember, the world government had changed his name to Gold Roger because they feared the D. in his name." Ace nonchalantly announced.

Ace just stepped on the tail of the World Government. He did not just announce his father but also their plot. Sengoku was now regretting even speaking.

But the beans were spilled. The whole thing was getting broadcasted live. Not to mention, Alexander had his bases on every island and his Kindheart malls in every town. The whole thing was being shown on huge projectors there too.

Rouge in Foosha village smiled hearing Ace's declaration, "Hahaha... that's my boy, Makino. Look, he's looking so handsome"

Around her, all the people of Foosha village and Dadan were sitting and watching.

"Rouge san, aren't you scared?" Dadan asked.

"Why would I be? I told Robby that if something happens to him then I will kill him. Don't forget, the old man will be there too." Rouge confidently said.

...

Back in Marineford, they were waiting for the imminent attack from the Whitebeard pirates.

Soon many ships were seen coming towards the base. But still, the Whitebeard's flagship was missing. Everyone in the area was looking left and right.

*BOOM*

Then suddenly his ship came from under the water straight into the bay. Whitebeard was standing on its figurehead with his manly demeanor and mustache. The people were surprised to see him, mainly because of his looks.

He didn't look any bit old. Instead, he had blond wavy hair and a face full of life. It surprised many people there.

"I AM WHITEBEARD, Release my son if you don't want to die." He roared.

*BOOM*

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOUR SON? HE'S MY SON!" A loud voice suddenly came and another ship came from under the water and landed just beside Whitebeard's Mobi Dick.

Whitebeard felt like he had heard this voice but he couldn't remember where. He looked to his side and his eyes widened with shock, he even rubbed his eyes to make sure he was not hallucinating.

The ship was the world-famous Oro Jackson, recognizable by every marine and pirate, and at its helm was a man standing in a red overcoat and a red hat. The man had a wide smile showing all his teeth. Just the way Whitebeard remembered.

"Roger?" Whitebeard muttered.

"HAHA...Yes, it's me, White-chan, I'm back and you look much better." Roger greeted him loudly.

Whitebeard's jaw dropped. Not just him but every single person in the Marineford had the same expression. Everyone that was alive during that era instantly recognized Roger.

Ace on the platform smirked. "Haha... both my fathers are here it seems. I feel pitiful for you Marines now."

"Bwahahaha... So that's why the old man was smiling on execution day. I knew something was fishy." Garp laughed loudly on the execution platform. He ignored the glares received from Sengoku.

Back at Mobi Dick, Whitebeard looked at Roger and laughed, "How did you survive that execution?"

"Haha, old man Universe helped me," Roger informed.

"Gurarara... only he can do something like this," Whitebeard laughed.

In the field, the Marines were terrified and screaming that the Pirate King was still alive. Roger decided to stop them from spreading any rumors.

"SILENCE, I never called myself the pirate king. It was the world government who gave me that name to make me look bad. Now, I am the senior commander of the Golden Justice Army." He revealed.

Whitebeard nodded, "I too am not a yonko anymore. I am a senior commander of the Golden Justice Army, serving directly under the Supreme Commander Universe."

The revelations were huge and fear welled up in the hearts of 'elite' marine soldiers. Alexander was a nightmare for them, no smaller than the World Government in power. The man ruled half of the world for god's sake.

Whitebeard then continued, "Release Ace or face the wrath of Golden Justice."

Then, to the shock of the Marines, Buggy ran from the marine's side and joined Roger. In fact, he hugged Roger with tears as if he had met his long lost father. Buggy was a Shichibukai but in no way was he going to go against Roger.

Then Boa Hancock also jumped from her place and landed on Roger's ship. Soon Bartholomew Kuma also followed.

Only one Shichibukai was left on their side now. And that was Edward Weevil, the self-proclaimed Whitebeard's son.

Mihawk was already with Alexander, Crocodile was dead, Gecko Moria was dead, Marshall D. Teach hadn't come yet.

Roger laughed, "Bwahaha... you still wanna fight?"

Sengoku was supposed to make the shots now. He was conflicted about whether to fight or not, because he was sure that they would terribly lose, and even if they won then most of his people would be dead. Not to mention everything was being broadcasted live.

They could have handled one weak, sick Whitebeard, but now, not only was he in perfect health but the legendary Gol D Roger was also there.

But then suddenly he heard one of the admirals charge forward to attack Whitebeard.

"Justice will not be delayed today. CHARGE!" Sakazuki roared.

Sengoku gritted his teeth at that fool. He was about to shout to stop everyone but he again heard someone say the opposite of that.

"DON'T STOOOOP, CHARGE FORWARD!"

Sengoku looked to see who it was this time and his eyes nearly fell out. This was his first time seeing or hearing those guys coming down from Mary Geoise.

"Four Elders," Sengoku ran up to them.

"No need to stop. We will execute them all today. Roger, Whitebeard..." The bald elder with the katana said and looked at the traitor Shichibukais.

"And the traitors will fall. Proceed as planned." He added and unsheathed his sword.

Roger saw them and mocked, "Hah, so these are the dogs of that shy girl Im?"

Not many people understood the meaning behind his words.

"He knows, we need to kill him." The blond elder angrily spoke to his fellow elders, his face looked all red.

He then loudly ordered, "Concentrate on Gold Roger and Whitebeard. They must die today."

"Dammit, it is GOL D. ROGER, stop butchering my name," Roger roared.

And so the Great War started. Live in front of the world. Many saw the elders who run the world for the first time that day. Alexander's men were sure to project the Elders' wanted posters on the live telecast.

...

"Zehehahaha... looks like they have already begun. Let's go and show them hell." Blackbeard spoke while looking through his telescope.

"Mamamama... we will rule the seas after this." Big Mom added.

They were near Marineford and had no idea that not just Roger but the Elders had shown up.

...

In the New World, Dobby was on his conquering Spree and took over kingdoms and Islands with speed never seen before.

He apparated to each island, defeated the opposing force, erected a fort, and left behind the Droids.

He had already taken over Totto Land, the base of Big Mom Pirates and he was now heading towards the last island in Grand Line.

"Ah, this is too easy." Dobby sighed and apparated to the next island.

...

Justicefort, the moving headquarters of the Golden Justice Army,

*Peruperuperuperu...*

Dragon picked it up and he received orders from Alexander, "Yeah, go ahead and encircle the Marineford with the fleet. Big mom and Blackbeard will be appearing soon. Take all the commanders with you."

Dragon was just waiting for this and shouted the orders to start moving. He was really itching for some action after seeing the whole mess currently going on at Marineford.

...

Alexander was already sitting in Sengoku's office all alone in Marineford and looking down at the ongoing war. He was just making sure that the high percentage sinners died and innocents survived on both sides.

"All right, I'll get Robin to read out the Rio poneglyph to the world. But where is the Strawhat group?" He mumbled.
