Enter Shanks! The Great War Ends At Last

"Akagami…The one who put Luffy on the path to become a pirate!" Garp clenched his fist in anger.

"Zehahaha! So, you've come…" Blackbeard was enjoying the whole situation as the Red Hair Pirates ship appeared in Marineford.

"It's the Red Hair Pirates!"

Shanks walked by the remaining Whitebeard Pirates.

"Akagami…" Marco said with a look of defeat in his face, the last thing he expected is Shanks to show up.

"Marco, stop fighting back. Just back out nice and easy" Shanks said to him with a commanding tone of voice.

Immediately after that, Mihawk who was watching Ashen's fights for a while without interfering turned back and walked away, since he knew the war was coming to an end.

"Hawk-Eye, where are you going?" A marine asked him.

"I agreed to fight Whitebeard but fighting the 'Demon' and 'Red-Haired' is not in the agreement" Mihawk calmly replied.

Seeing the situation, Shanks slowly walked towards the center of Marineford where the fight took place, almost everyone looked intimidated by his presence.

"If you keep on fighting…all sides will suffer more pointless casualties" Shanks held his sheathed sword hilt "If anybody still wants to fight…" He said taking out his sword as his crew suddenly appeared behind him "Then come! We will be your opponent!"

All the lower ranking marine soldier looked intimidated by those words.

"What do you say, Teach? No, Blackbeard!"

"Zehaha! You're looking more handsome than ever, Akagami. That scar suits you nicely!" Blackbeard responded, and both sides pointed weapons at each other.

After a moment, Blackbeard's laugh broke the silence.

"Zehahaha--ZEHAHAHA!!...Let's stop this, then!" both sides lowered their weapons upon hearing those words "I already got what I wanted, and we're not ready to fight you guys yet"

"Let's go, guys!...Zehahaha!" Blackbeard left after that

Shanks immediately turned his attention to Ashen who was sitting on a boulder near Shiki watching everything play out, he clearly remembered this scene of Shanks and Blackbeard played out in the anime. Shanks and his crew were more careful and on guard this time.

"If it isn't trash of the sea Shanks and his band of milksops!" Ian said with a cocky smirk in his face while standing near Ashen and the rest of the crew. The Red-Hair Pirates flashed a hostile look towards him when they heard that.

"Stop trash talking anyone you see blockhead!" Diana yelled at him, a little irritated by his attitude.

"Shut up! I only take orders from Ashen you dumb looking witch!" Ian replied with an arrogant look while standing near Prometheus and Zeus who are flying next to him, he did a few swings with his metal bat before he rested it on his shoulder.

"Such a bold words, you think you can do that? Fight us I mean...*Smile*…" Shanks didn't respond to those words "I should fix that cocky attitude of yours apparently" Ashen said while pointing his sword at Shanks.

"Is that what you wanna do?" Shanks replied.

*CLICK*-*CLICK* Immediately after that both pirate crews pointed their weapons at each other.

Calvin / Benn Beckman

Enel / Yasopp

Yamato / Lucky Roux

Moria / Building Snake

Urouge / Gab

Ian / Limejuice

Yamamoto – Diana / Bonk Punch – Monster

Amber / Hongo

"You still want to keep going, Ashen?" Shanks asked him with a hostile look in his face while gripping his sword 'Gryphon'.

"You think I'm gonna back down just because you said so?" Ashen calmly responded while holding his unsheathed sword 'Shusui' before purple fire ignited from it all of a sudden.

"Very well…" Shanks said as black lightning with red hue surged from his sword before he coated with a fiery aura.

"We're really fighting, aren't we?" Yasopp said with grin while pointing his rifle at Enel.

"Yahaha! Time to kick your ass, Yasopp!" Enel said pointing his golden staff back at him.

"These guys don't have any limits" Beckman remarked before he aimed his rifle at Calvin.

"This wasn't your business to begin with, Red-Hair Pirates! Are you trying to play heroes or something?" Calvin said while glaring at Beckman.

*SWOOOSH* without a noticed both Ashen and Shanks dashed at each other, leaving everyone else speechless at their speed as no one else even noticed them moving before the loud sound of their weapons clashing was heard across the battlefield. Of course, that wasn't only because of their high speed…

Both Ashen and Shanks were using an advanced Conqueror's Haki technique called the <Observation Killing> that allows them to control their own presence preventing anyone from seeing the future.

"Devine Departure!!" Shanks held his sword in his right hand, infuses it with Conqueror's Haki, and then swung his sword horizontally, creating a powerful slash attack.

"Celestial Cleave!!" Ashen struck back delivering a powerful slash to Shanks strong enough to leave an impact of the slash on the surrounding terrain.

*Lightning*-*Lightning* Both Ashen and Shanks swords were barely touching each other, as waves of Conqueror's Haki were shot from their position that brought even some Vice-Admirals on their knees.

"Beat it, Shanks!" Ashen raised Shusui into the air followed by a burst of Conqueror's Haki, before slashing Shanks with a downward slash that produced a huge shockwave. Shanks proceeded to blocked it before he thrusted Gryphon forward which emitted a shockwave as well from the tip of the blade.

"Are you really intending to go all out here, Ashen?!"

"'If anyone still wants to fight, bring it on we'll be your opponent' You shouldn't have said those words if you didn't mean them. Now take responsibility!" Ashen said.

"Jihahaha! That brat from Roger's crew is actually that strong" Shiki said, while watching their fight in interest "And that Devine Departure, it's actually Roger's attack" Shiki didn't like the idea of someone taking the attack of Roger, a strong person whom he respected to so much.

…

"It's been a while Calvin…I'm not going to hold back" Beckman calmly said before he shot several Haki coated bullets using his rifle.

Just like Calvin, Benn Beckman is an extremely efficient Haki user who has all three types of Haki.

"Hold back? Unless you want to lose your head" Calvin easily dodged the bullet before he punched Beckman from a distance while emitting Haki and a Hasshoken shockwave, creating an explosive wave of force that forced Beckman to dodge.

*SWOOOSH* Beckman is a very fast person, so dodging Calvin's attack wasn't a problem.

…

"You think you can land a shot?" Enel asked Yasopp who pointed his rifle at him with a confident look in his face.

"I never miss a target" Yasopp replied with a cocky smile.

"I heard you missed your wife's death though" Enel said mocking him. Of course, Ashen told his crew all the information he knew about the Red-Hair Pirates, that's why Enel knows about that. Yassop smile faded hearing that and was replaced with an angry expression instead, and he immediately shot Enel.

*GUN-SHOT*-*GUN-SHOT* Just like Enel, Yasopp is extremely efficient at Observation Haki, he can even see more that Enel into the future. But Enel can cover that with his high speed.

<Flash>

Enel used Soru and his lightning to dodge the bullets, while using his future sight to dematerialize the areas where he was going to get hit as well, letting the bullets go right through him.

…

"I'm not a fan of beating up girls, but this is a very different situation" Lucky Roux said while holding a piece of meat in his right hand and a flintlock pistole and his left. Suddenly he disappeared and reappeared beside her at a blinding speed.

"--What?!!" Yamato was very surprised at his speed, he managed to sneak up beside her in a split second with her barely noticing.

*GUN-SHOT* Lucky Roux didn't hesitate to fire a bullet at her head with the intent of killing her. Yamato tilted her head back and avoided it before her Kanabō crackled with lightning as she swung it vertically at Lucky Roux.

"Raimei Hakke!!"

The muscles in Lucky Roux's legs are very strong and surprisingly flexible, which allows him to dodge attacks easily along with his speed. He's possibly one of the fastest people in the world.

After dodging Yamato's attack, he proceeded to curl himself into a ball and then rolled towards her at a high speed.

"Non-Samurai Ice Fang!!" Yamato immediately turned into her hybrid form before she reared her head back, took a deep breath, and then abruptly exhaled forward a dense blast of cold air at Lucky Roux, ideally freezing him solid.

"Devine Swiftness" after that she imbued her Kanabō with Conqueror's Haki, causing dark lightning to emanate from it. Yamato then dashed toward the frozen Lucky Roux, swinging her club horizontally with two hands and delivering a powerful blow that knocked him back a great distance before he crashed into a wall and coughed some blood.

…

"Go to hell you crazy monk!" Gab roared at Urouge while using a technique where he generates several air blades from his mouth capable of cutting buildings.

*SPLASH*-*SPLASH* The air blades were very fast, Urouge managed to deflect some of them, but the other ones managed to cut through his skin leaving some injuries.

"Hoi, hoi. That was dangerous…" Urouge said with his usual smile, and then he used his devil fruit ability to convert the damaged he received into physical strength, expanding his muscles and enlaring his body size many times, before he charged at Gab and punched him many times with immense force "Inga Zarashi!"

Gab didn't dodge or back down, but he clashed with Urouge head on, Gab's muscles, body size and height were almost equal to Urouge in his base form and his mastery over Advanced Armament Haki makes him a formidable opponent for someone like Urouge who fights with brute strength.

"Heavenly Smash!" Urouge jumped in the air and used the momentum to deliver a massively powerful punch at Gab. The latter punched Urouge's fist back, and their fight quickly turned into a pushing contest trying to overpower each other.

…

"Kishishi! Let's see what you've got" Moria said while laughing manically before grasped his sword with two hands and charged at Building Snake, before shadow bats came off him and surrounded Building Snake before they turned to dozens of black spears "Brick Bat...Black Spears!"

"Juggling Two Sword Style!!"

*CLANG*-*CLANG* Building Snake wielding two swords, he utilized his 'Juggling Two Sword Style' where he fights with his swords and using acrobatic moves and stomping kicks, he deflected and parried the black spears before he jumped in the air and with an acrobatic move he landed near Moria, swinging his two swords downwards at him.

Moria coated his sword with Haki and blocked the attack before Building Snake tried to kick him away. But Moria quickly summoned a dark silhouette using his own shadow and swapped the part that was going to get hit making it appear like he wields a Logia fruit.

Building Snake would've been confused if he wasn't well informed about his devil fruit. In fact, all the Red Hair Pirates knows a lot of information about the Ashen Pirates as well, after all they consider them the biggest threat here and it would be a dumb idea to come unprepared.

Moria and Building Snake clashed swords after that.

…

"I'm going to make a juice out of you, Limejuice!" Ian said while swinging his metal bat around.

"Huh?" Limejuice raised an eyebrow, a little irritated by Ian's attitude since earlier when he insulted his captain and the entire crew "Very funny…you know? You talk too much, let me shut you up!"

Limejuice jumped mid-air utilizing a technique similar to Sky Walk and Geppo and charged his staff with electrical power before he delivered a massively powerful lightning bolt at Ian. Ian looked pretty surprised but managed to dodge the attack.

"If you're not coming down then I'm going up!" Ian said as he used Geppo to fly towards Limejuice while charging his metal bat with Hasshoken energy, generating a green aura around his weapon while coating it with Haki and with a powerful swing, he generated a massive shockwave capable of splitting the ground open.

Limejuice was taken aback by Ian's powerful shockwave, but he still managed to block it with his staff, and the two of them kept fighting midair.

…

At the center of Marineford, Ashen and Shanks kept fight. The whole world held breath in anticipation of might be the outcome of this fight.

Shanks and Ashen were clashing swords, before Ashen suddenly punched the air in front of Shanks, cracking it and sending a shockwave capable of doing internal and external damage.

Shanks quickly dodged it before he swung his sword unleashing an insanely powerful sword slash that had a red aura, the slash destroyed the entire ground along with anything in its way, it was no less strong than Mihawk's slash.

With a smile Ashen redirected it with his sword into the sky before it exploded, and then retaliated.

"I'll show you why they call 'Demon of The Sea' Ashen" Ashen said before he used Inferno Jet Steps to fly high into the sky.

"What is he trying to do?" Shanks questioned with a serious while getting in guard.

"Is he running away?" The marines looked confused at his actions.

Flying mid-air, Ashen cracked a sinister as he pointed his index finger upwards and then started gathering his purple flames as an enormous dense sphere of flames, before he let his Haki flow around.

The sphere was humongous and extremely hot, it crackled with black and red lightning of the Conqueror's Haki.

"--What is that!"

"Everyone, take cover!" Sengoku gave orders to the marine soldiers before he looked at Ashen in hostility.

"Stop this if you can!" Ashen said as he hurled the giant sphere of flames down at Marineford.

"Supernova!!"

"You crazy bastard!" Shanks tried to cut or redirected it, but the sphere had such a great force it was useless even if he did that and a second later, a loud explosion followed by a big shockwave shook the entire Marineford.

As the dust settled a giant hole was seen in the middle of Marineford island as well as thousands of charred bodies around it. Shanks suffered a few injuries and burns but nothing serious.

Of course, Ashen could've made the attack many times stronger, but he feared his crew might get caught in the attack by mistake. The point of the attack is to show his superiority to his enemies.

At this point, there were only 15.000 marine soldiers left most of them high ranking out of the 100.000 at the start, the marines suffered around 75.000 casualties. Most of them were killed after Ashen and Shiki's arrival.

"What do you think, Shanks? A cool attack, right?" Ashen said, landing near him before he put his sword back to its sheath.

"…" Shanks didn't reply but only glared at him.

"Let's stop it here, I've already achieved my goal and a fight with you won't be as easy as fighting these government dogs…Besides, even if I defeat you these old geezers might seize the chance to attack me afterward" Ashen said while glancing at Garp and Sengoku.

Hearing those word, the rest of his crew stopped fighting as well.

"Tch…This isn't the end Enel" Yasopp said in anger to Enel.

"Hmph, be grateful that you survived this time…next time you'll join your dear wife in the afterlife"

"See you later, don't forget to drink your juice Limejuice--…fuck, that came out wrong" Ian said scratching the back of his head before he turned back and walked away "Whatever…this is frustrating, I want to fight more!"

"Stop whining about it" Calvin said to him.

"Let's go!" Ashen said to his crew as he grabbed Aokiji's dead body and flew back to his ship, Shiki did the same thing and they shortly left Marineford after that.
