97 96. The Great War 7

Blackbeard have come, and he bring his crewmates, the old ones and new ones.

"Zehahaha, i'm glad i made it in time for Whitebeard's last moment."-Blackbeard

Sengoku ask why Blackbeard as a Sichibukai leave the war, and go to Impel Down. Now he come back with more crewmates and some dangerous escapees from Level 6.

"Zehahaha, i become a Sichibukai only to get an access to Impel Down, so i can get some new strong members, just like what you see."-Whitebeard

Sengoku have a dark look on his face, because level 6 prisoners are the ones that pose very big danger. They are the most dangerous criminals with attrocious crime that can't be forgiven. So their escape will create more chaos that marines can't handle at once.

"Arara, these are some dangerous people. Sanjuan Wolf, Alvaro Pizaro, Vasco Shot, Catarina Devon, and even head jailer Shiryuu."-Aokiji

"Ex-head jailer"-Shiryuu

Blackbeard laugh and then he look at Whitebeard's bloody figure.

"Teach!"-Whitebeard

Whitebeard say that with low and calm voice, but it is very clear that he is very angry right now. 'Blackbeard' Teach have made a sin that Whitebeard despise the most. He have killed his own friends, his own crewmate, Tatch. It led to an order for Ace to capture Teach, but then it come to Ace's defeat instead. Then Ace is sent to marine and it led to this war.

"Zehahaha, long time no see, pops."-Teach

"Teach, only you that i will not call a son. Your sin is the greatest crime in my ship, and it is unforgivable."-Whitebeard

"That can't be helped pops, he have the devil fruit that i search for a long time ago."-Teach

"Hmph, just for a devil fruit you kill your brother."-Whitebeard

"Captain, that damn brat is not here."-Devon have angry and pale face

"Your new mates didn't seem to be in their worst day."-Whitebeard

"Hmph, it's because of that strange red eyes brat. He spread poison in the whole level 6. He even explode the whole floor before he left."-Teach

The level 6 escapees seem to be very pale and have blueish color on their skin. The worst is Devon, because she is the one that take most damage. Jon take her devil fruit and she is unconscious, so she inhale more poison that the others. Sanjuan Wolf is the only one that didn't really affected, because of his size. But they are very strong, because some prisoners are in comatose state or even die.

"Strange red eyes?"-Whitebeard

Whitebeard then remember Jon and their talk on the ship before. He have watch Luffy and Jon the whole time in this war. Whitebeard didn't know why Jon did that in Impel Down, but he have a guess. He have many sons and met many people, so it's easy for him to judge someone's character. He can guess that Jon didn't like the idea of letting those level 6 prisoners alive.

"Gurarara, as i thought, the both of them are really unpredictable."-Whitebeard

"Enough of that! Pops, i really respect you, greatly. But you have become too old, that you can't save Ace, even tough i capture him alive in Banaro Island."-Teach

Whitebeard also decide to end this useless talk and attack Teach with his quake punch. Teach catch Whitebeard's punch and the quake power disappeared. Of course this surprised everyone there, because Teach can negate Whitebeard's devil fruit power.

But Whitebeard is not so weak that he can't fight without his devil fruit power. Whitebeard attack Teach with his bisento and pin Teach on the ground. Then he use his quake power with his bisento to choke Teach.

"Guh, are you really going to kill your son?"-Teach

Whitebeard got angry at this question, so he punch Teach with his quake power at Teach's head, damaging Teach's skull greatly.

"AARGHH, JUST WHAT KIND OF MONSTER ARE YOU? IT'S BETTER IF YOU DIE, ATTACK!"-Teach

All Blackbeard pirates attack Whitebeard mercillesly, and Whitebeard take their attack head on, without faltering. All of Whitebeard's pirates are crying as they watch their father is getting killed on the other side. Jon also see this when Jinbe carry him. He immediately command his clones.

'Yes boss?'-Clone B

'Take the picture of Whitebeard properly, and also those escapees. Tell the world, that WG and Marines have made terrible mistake by accepting Whitebeard as a Sichibukai. Tell the world, that many of the most dangerous criminals have been released because of this. Tell the world about level 6 and their threat. This war will not be won by Marines, because they have let many of the most evil people to come out freely, through Blackbeard, a Sichibukai.'-Jon

'Understood.'-Clone B

Jon didn't have resentment toward Marines because he know Marines are important to maintain order. Altough he have hatred to Akainu for killing Ace and almost killing Luffy, but it's Akainu's job, so it's not Jon's reason. Jon just feel that the world need to know the truth about this.

He's not foreign with the practice of Goverment hiding their dirty hand. So he believe that they will hide about level 6 escapees, as level 6 itself is a secret. Jon want people to judge it by themselves and not just blindly believe in WG and Marines.

Back with Whitebeard, he remember about his past when he have a drink with his rival, Roger. Roger told Whitebeard about his own death. Roger also told Whitebeard about the true meaning of the 'D' name.

Blackbeard pirates run out of bullets and stop their attacks. Whitebeard look at Teach for sometime before he speak.

"You're not the one Teach. The one that Roger is waiting for, is not you."-Whitebeard

Whitebeard said this because Teach full name is Marshall D. Teach. He have 'D' name, but Whitebeard think that the one that Roger meant in the past is not Teach. Then Whitebeard turn to look at Sengoku.

"Sengoku, as long as the bloodline of those who carry the Will of Roger still burns, then one day, a grand battle that will engulf the whole world will begin. When someone finds "that" treasure, the world will be turned upside-down."-Whitebeard

"Don't tell me... STOP IT, WHITEBEARD!"-Sengoku

Whitebeard inhale a lot of air before he speak his last words with loud voice.

"ONE PIECE IS REALLY EXISTS!"-Whitebeard

Sengoku is very furious at this remark. This is 'The Strongest Man', Yonkou Whitebeard's last word. He die proudly while standing on his two feet.

'Whitebeard' Edward Newgate dies standing on his feet, after having been stabbed and slashed 267 times, shot 152 times and hit by canonballs 46 times. Despite his grievous wounds though, when his coat falls down after his death, it reveals his back to have been untarnished by a wound of retreat.

Today in The Great War of Marineford, 'Whitebeard' Edward Newgate and 'Fire Fist' Portgas D. Ace have died.

~~~

On the other side of Marineford, all of Whitebeard pirates rushes to their ships. They need to follow their captain's last order for them. The escapees from Impel Down also retreat after they see Buggy retreat. These guys are really attached to him.

Meanwhile, Blackbeard and his crew suddenly close Whitebeard's body with black cloth like curtain. Then Teach enter and his crewmates are standing guard around the curtain. Everyone are confused, but the pirates need to get away fast. The Marines though, should've stop them, but they just stay on their place and want to know Teach's plan.

Jinbe is still running toward the boat while carrying both Jon & Luffy. He ask them to hang on, especially Luffy that is very critique physically and mentally. Jon also tried to talk to Luffy but he doesn't respond at all. Jon can only move his right hand, and he try to shake Luffy, but it's not working. Jinbe also try to talk to Luffy and beg him to hang on for the sake of Ace.

They almost reach the sea, but suddenly the water around them freeze. Aokiji has freeze the sea from far behind them. They're focused on Luffy as Dragon's son. Roger's son has died, so now Dragon's son need to die too.

Despite what happen to the sea, Jinbe keep running to the boat. But then another trouble come again. Akainu burst out from the ground right behind them and re-declaring his intention to not let Luffy get away. He demand Jinbe to hand Luffy over to him.

Jinbe refuses, and he vow that he will keep Luffy alive no matter what. Jon is very pissed of by this dude, but he can't do anything right now. Akainu keep walking to them, but suddenly Iva appear.

"Jinbe, step aside for me, Hell Wink!"-Iva

Iva use his Hell Wink and hit Akainu. Iva's attack make Akainu's magma body splattered around and Jinbe run again. Iva and the okamas that suddenly appear run together, with the okamas guarding Jinbe's back.

Meanwhile, Blackbeard have come out from the curtain and he laugh loudly. A few marines try to attack him, but he knocks them with his darkness power.

"Zehahaha, look Marines, this is my Yami Yami no Mi's (Darkness fruit) power, and this is my new power."-Teach

Teach cover his right hand with darkness power, then suddenly, he cover his left hand with quake power. Everyone that see this are surprised, because not only they didn't know Teach's method to extract the quake devil fruit (Gura Gura no Mi) power from Whitebeard's dead body, they also surprised that he can withstand 2 devil fruit power at once.

Marco that see this say that Teach have abnormal body, and most likely that's what make him can withstand the effect of having 2 devil fruit power at once, which is death. Everyone there, are in disbelief, they will face the terror of Gura Gura no Mi again. This is the power that make Whitebeard to be said as the strongest.
