Chapter 308 - War 02.

[Chapter Size: 1900 Words.]

Third Person POV

Marineford, First Half of Grandline.

...

...

Mihawk walked calmly forward, while grabbing his sword and with a quick movement, he launched it in front of him, with a green energy quickly exploding from it, as it advanced at high speed.

"He's attacking Whitebeard!" The marines exclaimed, seeing the energy quickly heading towards the ship in the center of the place, with Newgate still looking at it calmly.

The energy continued rushing forward, digging into the ground towards Newgate, breaking the ice floor and making any pirate in the path of the attack fly backward, some unable to react while others moved out of the way to avoid being hit.

"DAD!!!" The pirates shouted, seeing that slash advancing towards the Moby Dick.

However, someone intervened between the energy of the world's strongest swordsman and the world's strongest man, appearing quickly and taking all of Mihawk's damage.

He immediately took the attack and broke the ground while standing there, enduring it, trying to deflect it, while everyone watched. The man in the middle of the slash still stood firm for a few seconds until he shouted and immediately threw the green energy upwards, making it disappear into the air.

"That is…" The marines immediately recognized the man as one of Whitebeard's division commanders. A silence took over the place for a moment, while everyone watched in awe as this man stopped Mihawk's slash.

Mihawk looked at him for a while as Whitebeard nodded, seeing his son there half-transformed into diamond.

"It's the third division commander, Jozu, the diamond!!" The enemies immediately exclaimed.

After that, the war continued as swords clashed and cannon shots continued, "Don't let them get close, finish off all the pirates!" Sengoku exclaimed on the Den Den Mushi.

"This war is going to be very bloody…" Kizaru suddenly said while starting to get up from his chair that was aligned with two others. Akainu was still sitting, while Kuzan was fighting on the front lines.

Kizaru kept walking forward, leaving his chair, while keeping his gaze on Whitebeard, who was watching the battle below him, "Why not end this by defeating the head behind this war…" He commented and suddenly glowed, disappearing from the place.

On the battlefield near the main ship where Newgate was, a glow appeared as Kizaru appeared and crossed his arms, before launching his attack towards Whitebeard, launching a direct attack.

Whitebeard narrowed his eyes at this. "Hey hey, that's very bright, man…" He complained while all the attacks still advanced against him.

Suddenly, a shadow emerged again against the attack coming for Whitebeard, while his wings burned in blue and yellow fire, beating against the attack, preventing it from advancing as blue flames emerged on impact, stopping the light.

The attack finally stopped as Marco, the first division commander, flew in the air while constantly healing with his flames.

"So you appeared… as expected from a fruit even rarer than Logia… a mythical Zoan…" Kizaru commented lazily while looking intently at Marco.

"He is Marco, the phoenix!!!" The marines shouted, seeing Marco transform into a complete phoenix while advancing against the admiral in the air.

Even with Kizaru attacking him again, Marco approached and delivered a kick as he got close, with Kizaru flying backward and exploding on the ground while everyone watched in shock.

A moment later, Kizaru appeared calmly, looking at Marco, "How scary…" His gaze turned back to the marines behind him, "Giant squad…" He gave the order while all the giants began to leave the square, shaking the ice with their weight, advancing against the pirates.

"Go, for justice!"

"Let's go, for Ace!"

Pirates and marines continued in a bloody dance with everyone dying at every moment. This continued for a while until suddenly the ground shook a bit, and everyone saw Jozu himself hitting the ground while grabbing a huge block of ice and with his own strength, threw it against the marines.

"The square is being attacked!!" The marines shouted while the huge block of ice created a huge shadow over everyone.

"Looks like I'll have to act…" The last admiral, Akainu, was raising his head, looking at that block. In the next moment, he launched his fist towards it, with the ice exploding as it was melted by the power of magma.

The magma didn't stop there; as it exploded the ice, it advanced directly against the frozen bay. "Run!! It's coming for us!!" The pirates immediately exclaimed as the place exploded with the power of that Devil Fruit.

The bay became chaotic for the pirates, as Akainu had aimed far from the reach of the marines, burning the place while some couldn't even react before turning to ashes. The ships beside the Moby Dick were hit, turning into flames and being destroyed, the lava meteors falling directly on Whitebeard were easily caught by him as he simply blew to extinguish the lava, leaving a rock in its place.

His gaze fell on the admiral, who stared back at him as a challenge, while the fight continued, with various Devil Fruit users fighting against each other, even Whitebeard and the commanders were launching themselves, gaining ground, and trying to reach the plaza.

Giants, men, people dying everywhere, Coby was in the middle of it, trembling with fear, not wanting to be there in the midst of that chaos. When a huge sound came from the sea, and an even larger shadow emerged.

"What is that thing!!!" The marine officers stopped to see it.

"He's here!!" The pirates seemed to celebrate, as the sound of enormous footsteps continued approaching, the warships tried to stop that huge shadow, but were all destroyed the next moment.

"Little Oars Jr." Sengoku commented, looking at the giant.

"Ace's friend!" The giant's voice echoed throughout the place as he approached, passing through the ships and invading the bay.

"He's much bigger than us…" A giant woman looked up, seeing the man stepping on the ground and making the bay tremble with the sound of his steps.

"Giants!! Attack!!" The marines exclaimed as they advanced against the colossus.

Cannons exploded on Oars, but nothing seemed to stop him as he continued advancing, even picking up a warship and throwing it on the first giants that approached, creating chaos with destruction.

The giants continued advancing as the giant swords clashed against each other as they met, the enormous weapons creating a windstorm as they swung for the people below them.

Oars began to gain an advantage against the marine giants easily, cutting down all who came close, and continued advancing. "Help Oars…!" Whitebeard requested, seeing that his giant son was being reckless.

Suddenly, the other Shichibukai began to act. Hancock started attacking everyone as soon as cannonballs were thrown at her, easily stopping them as she advanced against the pirates, even the marines didn't escape her attacks, as she turned everyone into stone.

Kuma, now fully modified by Vegapunk, also made his move, creating an enormous paw that began to shrink until it was so small that he covered it with his whole hand. He saw Oars near the plaza and threw it at him. Even with that small pad moving slowly towards him, Oars couldn't react until it exploded on contact.

The plaza trembled the next moment with the force of Kuma's attack, throwing everyone nearby away.

"OARSSS!!!!" Ace screamed from the platform, as Oars appeared in the middle of the explosion, all injured, falling to his knees. "Stop, don't come here!!" Ace shouted.

And before anyone could react, all the cannons beside the bay began firing, exploding the giant's entire body, who still tried to reach Ace, as he hit the edge of the plaza and Doflamingo flew there, moving his fingers on the only arm he still had.

"Hm?!" The next moment, Oars lost his leg, as Doflamingo cut that limb. But Oars, even in pain, still tried to reach the plaza through the path he created.

"ACE…" He said, as Ace looked at him in despair, not wanting his old friend to die there.

"I will save Ace…" He said until suddenly, Moria made his move and created a giant shadow blade, piercing the giant's heart.

"Ace…" was the last thing Oars said before falling to the ground unconscious.

"OARSSSS!!!!" Ace screamed in despair once again, with the sound of his body falling.

"OARSSS!!!" The pirates immediately shouted, seeing their comrade fall.

"Those bastards!!!!" The pirates exclaimed angrily and began to advance more aggressively against the marines, trying to avenge their comrade.

"I will kill you, Whitebeard!!!" A new man emerged, attempting to strike Whitebeard, but he simply stopped his blade with his hand, and the man was defeated the next moment without anyone being able to react.

His body fell backward the next moment, dead. "A Vice-Admiral falling so easily... that's the power of the world's strongest man!" The marines exclaimed in fear.

Whitebeard looked at Oars' body with enraged feelings for seeing one of his sons falling there, "Attention, everyone!! Climb on Oars' body." He exclaimed.

The battle continued with more people falling after that, while the place remained a bloody chaos, with the pirates approaching Oars to reach the plaza.

At the edge of the plaza, the 43 pirate groups kept trying to find an opening while many groups of marines with several Vice-Admirals were dispatched to face them. All the Vice-Admirals who went to Enies Lobby were there, with more arriving at Sengoku's call for the war.

"This is getting bad..." One of the captains exclaimed while trying to open one side of the bay, but the walls were hard to break with cannon fire. Suddenly, a ship broke through the walls, being none other than Whitey Bay, known as the Ice Witch.

On the platform, Sengoku analyzed the situation next to an Ace, still desperate, watching his brothers die there for him. But Sengoku didn't have time to care about the feelings of a pirate about to die there as he looked towards a corner of Marineford.

'They are positioned there... but there are still no signs of them...' Sengoku murmured internally, but he knew they would arrive, after all, the loss of control of the Gates of Justice meant they were opened or something even worse...

'Anyway, let's continue our plan to destroy Whitebeard. If they show up, the forces sent by the government will take care of them...' He murmured internally and picked up the Den Den Mushi.

"Let's prepare for the plan." He said, while Ace looked at him without understanding.

"Yes, Fleet Admiral. Let's begin!" The voice on the other side emerged, and Sengoku didn't care about Ace hearing it; he couldn't do anything now, and none of his enemies knew his strategy.

While all this was happening, with chaos taking over the plaza, behind one of the ice blocks created by Whitebeard and Kuzan, a black ship continued moving closer to it, while the man on its prow crossed his arms with his cape flapping against the wind, emitting a characteristic smile. The people Sengoku and the World Government had been waiting for were finally arriving.
