Actions have Consequences

As Tenshi was serving customers, the war continued.

After a while, Luffy and a ship of prisoners fell from the sky!

Tenshi let out a breath, finally something normal!

He waved and said happily, "Luffy!" Luffy waved at him before disappearing and slamming down on Crocodile, stopping him from attacking Whitebeard. Tenshi watched the famous scene and smiled to himself, ah yes, this familiar taste!

His purpose here had already been achieved!

He brought the cart to the battlefield and pushed it around, serving customers, but all these people didn't have any money! Well, at this point, it didn't matter too much. What mattered was the exposure!

He, Tenshi, didn't care about the war!

He would still sell coffee in any situation!

Truthfully, this was insanity to the people watching.

After a bit, Galan said suddenly, "Execute him."

Whitebeard grabbed the air and Luffy roared "STOP!" as a burst of Conqueror's Haki blasted from his body, knocking countless pirates and marines unconscious! Tenshi felt this Conqueror's haki and was startled, so this is what it felt like!

It was a mixture of heaviness and a wave of fear flooding him.

But, it wasn't too bad. Tenshi looked at the people around him dropping like flies and he had a big question mark over his head.

The people watching were dumbfounded, he took it just like that!?

Good guy!

What the hell!

Suddenly, they were even more dumbfounded as Marineford and the sea around it started to tilt all over the place, shattering the island as Marineford crumbled.

Tenshi flying into the air and looking down as his wings spread out over a crumbling Marineford was the last thing everyone saw before the Visual Snails cut out!

Tenshi heard Whitebeard laugh, "No more cameras! The Real war has begun!" Tenshi was startled, real war? He flew back to his ship, putting the cart down as he touched his chin thoughtfully.

Tenshi watched as Galan tore his white suit right off, revealing tactical gear underneath! He charged at Whitebeard and their punches collided, wiping out a portion of the marines and pirates, but strangely, none of Whitebeard's fleet were wiped out!

Only the new ones that Tenshi didn't recognize… He gasped, a conspiracy??? He watched the fist fight as Luffy saved Ace with Mr 3.

But Tenshi didn't care about that, he stared at the battle with wide eyes.

Every collision blasted apart Marineford itself, destroying the island and buildings, by the end… There wasn't a single Marine left, nor any of the pirates Whitebeard sent first. They were all dead, barely even a corpse left!

Tenshi swallowed, this was unimaginable!

Galan and Whitebeard fought hard and the Island of Marineford was in ruins, there were cracks everywhere and sea water peaked out from them, parts of it even sank into the ocean!

But…

Galan did kill Whitebeard with his bare hands!

Tenshi watched in a daze.

Just like this?

Ace lost his mind and shot at Galan as Tenshi jumped in shock, feathers shooting out and pinning Ace to the ground quickly.

Galan looked at him and Tenshi shivered, oh my god!

Galan raised a fist and Tenshi's feathers pulled Ace away quickly!

Galan put his hand down and forgot about Ace, turning to the rubble strangely as a loud laugh was heard!

Blackbeard appeared with his crew, Galan went after him.

Tenshi tossed Ace to the side with his feathers as Ace went absolutely ballistic, Tenshi said quickly "Karin!" Karin sealed and chains wrapped Ace up, stopping him in his tracks.

Luffy ran to Ace and pleaded "Ace! Stop!" Ace was mental, struggling intensely but Luffy punched him in the face, knocking him right out.

Tenshi let out a breath, Ace saved!

Good!

He turned back to see Galan scaring off Blackbeard as Whitebeard said the classic line…

"THE ONE PIECE IS REAL!"

Tenshi smiled sadly, Galan stepped towards the Whitebeard pirates, seemingly on his last legs. But at this moment, Shanks appeared.

Tenshi let out a breath of relief, he couldn't even move his legs in front of this terrifying guy… This was unbelievable! This guy was OP, Tenshi swallowed in fear… He was sure that this guy was the strongest guy in the world!

But that begs the question, what was the conspiracy here???

It's impossible that Whitebeard happened to have all these extra sons and that every single Marine died. So there was something fishy going on here, but maybe only Galan himself knew now.

Tenshi was curious and wanted to ask but he was honestly scared of this guy… But… Galan looked like he was going to die at any moment… Tenshi struggled as Shanks stopped Galan before stopping the war as everyone left.

Luffy left, looking back at Galan and Shanks. He smiled to himself and passed out from exhaustion. Jinbe brought Luffy to Law, who sailed away. Hancock disappeared and Ace was taken back by the Whitebeard Pirate remnants.

Tenshi hesitated before flying over to Shanks and Galan, making two coffees, smiling gently, "Well… This coffee will help a bit." Shanks looked at him and laughed, "You're the madman?" Tenshi looked embarrassed, "Just trying to help."

He walked over and helped Galan drink the coffee with milk, Galan looked at him and Tenshi swallowed, saying gently "Please drink… no more people have to die today…" Galan looked at him for a few more moments before closing his eyes and drinking the rest of the coffee, feeling his wounds healing quickly!

Galan was startled inwardly.

Shanks pulled Tenshi, who shivered with intense nausea. Shanks dragged him away, saying "Come on, Kid… Leave him alone."

Tenshi was dragged back to his ship as the Red Hair pirates took Whitebeard's body and Bisento, leaving Marineford.

Tenshi sailed away, looking back at Marineford, hoping that Galan didn't die. So many people died today, it made him feel extremely uncomfortable… He saw a woman appear next to Galan, who stood up straight, looking out to the sea.

Tenshi felt his scalp go numb!

This guy… that wasn't his full strength?!

Tenshi squinted, staring with his enhanced eyes to see the woman had a flat nose bridge with short white hair… Tenshi froze and stared at the woman in a daze, N-N-Nico Olvia?!

Tenshi held his head in confusion, what the hell was going on here?! What sort of crazy One Piece timeline is this!?

Shanks' ship came to Tenshi's and they boarded it.

Tenshi was startled as the Whitebeard Pirates' ship docked on the ship as well.

Marco walked over saying "Thanks, Tenshi-yoi…" Ace was unconscious, being held by Jozu. Tenshi waved his hands and muttered "Um, nothing… Don't worry about it…" He was in a state of confusion, trying to figure out what was going on…

One Galan sent Tenshi's entire being into confusion, where did this guy come from? Why did he want to know more?

Shanks looked at the ship and grinned, "New ship. You have a cafe?" Tenshi asked in shock, "You know?!" Shanks pointed his thumb at Marco, who sighed, "Wanted to have a coffee one more time…"

Tenshi looked at them and smiled sadly, "Come in… It's on the house today." he sighed and walked into the cafe, waving at Karin and Haku.

Tenshi wasn't very happy, he liked Whitebeard a lot. He even talked to him before in the cafe and the old man was really nice, it was a shame he had to die today… Tenshi thought the Lon Lon Milk would be enough… You know, according to Whitebeard he healed his old wounds up to 65%!

Against the Original Navy, this would simply be peanuts!

Whitebeard sweeps!

But against this monster…

Tenshi shivered and shook his head, saying "Haku, make Cold Coffee for these guys." as he started making Coffee for everyone as they sat in the cafe.

Shanks consoled Marco and the rest, chatting softly in the cafe as Karin served their coffee, handing out Pastries…

When Tenshi was done, he walked over to the piano.

He sat down and scratched Mocha's ears, opening the key cover before starting to play.

Everyone paused and turned to Tenshi, who sighed softly playing 'The Name of Life' on the piano.

Despite actually only knowing Whitebeard for a week, Tenshi respected the old man a lot. It really took a lot to manage so many territories and protect so many people as an Emperor, not to mention having the strength to do so in the first place.

Tenshi had a deep feeling that he wasn't really taking things seriously enough. People could still die in another world, just because he crossed here didn't mean it was all fun and games.

In Konoha, Tenshi didn't feel any disconnect because he had never actually seen Naruto all the way or even thoroughly, but he had seen all of One Piece. This was the disassociation from fiction and life.

How could you take actual people seriously after reading everything about their lives in a book? The problem was that Tenshi had the slight feeling that everything was a joke for him, but his actions today…

What he saw made him change his opinion… Whitebeard died, that was real. All the sadness from his crew was very real. He also saved a life that should've died today as well.

Not to mention, Blackbeard didn't get the Quake Quake Fruit.

Tenshi's actions had indeed changed things. Ace was alive!

How could this be a fake world where everything is a joke? Things were different now… These worlds weren't fake places where he could do anything he wanted! His actions and inaction had consequences…

Tenshi finished playing and decided to stop taking things as a joke. He was going to treat every world from now on as a real place with real consequences. No matter where it was.

Lives weren't something that were meant to be played around with!

He let out a breath and everyone fell silent.
