Chapter 127

Title: Jaw… Arrives...

….

As the battle along Marineford, the Marines with the combination of Garp, Sengoku, and Aokiji can injure Kaido as injuries keep adding upon him. Marco decided to retreat as Vista was heavily injured. So now with the complete retreat of the Whitebeard Pirates, the Marines were able to have a slight advantage against the Beast Pirates, this advantage made all the difference as Jack is killed, King is also killed as Aokiji freezes him for a split second, and Garp smashes the flying creature to smithereens. 

The fling five are also in bad shape and Ulti is also heavily injured. The Beast Pirates are on the losing side, though the Marines are still in bad shape and seemingly heavily injured amongst them. Though the top combatants were still okay and had the energy to fight for days so they weren't even truly tied.

"Rorororororo…" Laugh Kaido, though he is losing and is almost dying, this is the best time in his life, he fights crazily as the feeling of fulfillment makes him feel complete. 'So this is how it feels being close to death. Is this how you felt Oden?... Yamato… hope that you live a good life.'

As this was thinking this he looks at the Marines and says. "Come fight me you scum. Worororororo…"

Swish!

But suddenly he feels something pass through his neck and he seems to slip. 

Plop!

He falls on the ground and sees a muscular body with tattoos just standing there… headless. 

'Oh wait… that is my body.,' Thinks Kaido as he sees Jaw just kick his body to the ground, and the last thing Kaido can think before his life flees from him is. 'That bastard…'

And so… "One Hundred Beast" Kaido dies… not the death he wanted, but the one he got. There was no Legendary death, just a simple decapitation by a sneak attack.

…

Jaw has a cold look in his eyes while looking at Kaido, he then looks at the marines and says. "Welp, I didn't expect him to kill Akainu and Kizaru, this is better than expected."

"Expected?" Questions Sengoku, his eyes narrowing as he looks at Jaw. "What do you mean by that?"

"Hm?" Jaw is seemingly confused by this. "You haven't figured it out yet? This was all orchestrated by me."

"You bastard!" Yells Garp as he goes to punch at Jaw.

Pew!

But contrary to the old man's expectations, a laser hits his arm, piercing straight through. 

"What?!!" Every Marine is surprised at this. They look towards where the laser came from and they see a spiky-haired young man standing in the air. 

Jaw smiles and looks at him. "Jiraya, did you manage to learn a little control over that new fruit of yours?"

Jiraya nods. "Yeah… though I won't be able to fight against Admirals yet since I don't have good control over the fruit at this time."

Jaw nods at this. Sengoku goes to attack Jiraya. "That fruit would bring shame to the previous wilder in the hands of a pirate."

Jiraiya is absolutely calm at this. "Well, it doesn't matter what you think old man."

As he says that, Sengoku feels something strange, he sees that his body is reverting back to his human form.

He looks behind him, he sees a man with long spiky black hair and cold dark eyes.

"Thanks for that Madara." Says Jiraya. "I really need to get used to this fruit when moving."

"Hm." Madara nods at that, not say8ng anything. He uses the Yami-Yami no Mi to create a dark vortex that pulls Sengoku towards him.

Aokiji goes to attack the kid and stop him from hitting Sengoku.

*bzzzzt*

But in a lightning flash, a man appears in the air behind him and stabs a sword at his stomach.

"Damn…" Says Aokiji, as he was distracted for a split second and Kakashi took advantage of that. 'They are all scarily coordinated. They wanted me to panic and dull my Observation Haki for a split second before they attack.'

As siblings, all of Jaw's children grew up together. They can work together with no problem, it's an almost instinctual understanding of each other.

The Marines are already on their last legs as Jaw smiles at the Marine Soldiers. He had already cut connections with the news from Marineford, so no one is seeing anything.

"Now, Marines… time for all of you to go down! Jajajajajaja…" Says Jaw as he laughs out loud.

….

At the same time, inside one of the empty houses inside Marineford, Naruto and Itachi are looking at each other. They both have nervous looks on their faces.

"What is happening?" Asks Naruto, he had always been left in the dark about Jaw's plans so he doesn't know what is the plan here.

"We can't interfere in a battle of this caliber anymore." Says Itachi, as a chill of fear goes through his body. He can't help it, he is scared as hell about this.

Itachi gets up and looks through the house for any food, he wants to ease Naruto's worries with some good food. But as he looks through the kitchen he sees a strange red fruit with swirls on it. 

"Naruto…" Calls out Itachi softly. "Do you have Dead Cat inside your inventory space?"

"Hm? Yeah. Why?" Answers Naruto, still not knowing where Itachi is going with this.

"No… nothing… just asking." Says Itachi smiling when he hears that. 'I guess Dead Cat's Leprechaun Fruit really increases one's luck.'

…

At the same time, Coby and Helmeppo were running around the now desolated living area on Marineford.

"N -No way we can survive this!" Exclaims Coby, his face morphed into a look of terror. "This is a battle way out of our league."

"Y -Yeah… we wouldn't be helpful even if we stayed." Says Helmeppo, being just as scared as Coby too. They saw Whitebeard and Kaido, they were monsters, what could they even help with. Even giving it their best wouldn't be enough as they wouldn't be able to slow them down for even a split second.

As they walk around they see Itachi, who is just walking around without his shirt on. 

"Vice Admiral Itachi!" Exclaims Coby out loudly. Itachi only turns to look at them and blink.

Itachi looks at them and says. "I am only a clone, how is the battle going now?"

"G -Good…" Says Helmeppo, unsure of what to say, but he said that in a split second and didn't think about what he was going to say.

"You should go back now." Says Itachi simply. Coby and Helmeppo nod at this, not daring to refute Itachi as they don't want to get killed, after all, they already saw what Akainu did to a running marine before the battle.

Itachi is known to be cruel against pirates… so they don't want to try their luck with him.

Itachi looks as the kids turn around and start walking away, a frown adorns his face as he sees this. 

'We must win at all costs today.' Thinks Itachi. 'Every little bit helps.'

As he thinks that, he uses <Soru> and appears behind Coby and Helmeppo… <Shigan>...

Pow! Pow!...

He uses his finger to pierce both of them in the back of their skulls. Killing them before they knew what was even happening. 'Better not leave such things to chance…"

....

A/N: MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
