Chapter 55

"How come you are working him, Dragon." Kizaru said after deflecting a barrage of wind and lightning. The Storm Storm Fruit was a very powerful Logia Devil Fruit. But it was not that great in 1v1's, it works more as a supportive type of devil fruit when fighting such battles.

It's strength shines when in a war, where a single use of the ability can bring the enemies devastating losses. But such skills can naturally not be used on a large scale right now, as it will only create casualties on their side as well.

'So annoying...' Dragon though, it is very hard to hit a land on Kizaru if he did not want to trade blows or was caught if guard as with Vox. If Kizaru wants to run, no one can catch him. Light works wonders when going in a straight line, then he can go at the maximum speed. But in a fight, where he needs to maneuver, his speed is limited, otherwise he will be easily defeated by a simple prediction.

"Kizaru, be careful, or you might lose the other hand." Dragon grinned as he taunted him. He wanted to just keep him busy, as long as he father does not join, everything will go perfectly.

'Never thought the 4th admiral was so strong, to be able to fight evenly with that monster... Just how did he survive..' He thought as he saw Vox and Enel fighting evenly.

"Hey, hey, my eyes are here." Kizaru slashed his light sword at Dragon, who dodged it as he expected it with his Observation Haki.

Back to Wright, he was fighting off 2 Whitebeard Commanders and standing his ground.

"Marco, you are a disappointment. A Phoenix that does burn it's enemies to ashes, how weak, hahaha" Wright laughed as his whips danced across the battle field. Blocking Marco and Blennheim in a defensive position.

'I can kill them 1v1... but together..' Wright was thinking in between his taunts. He knows his current situations is dire, although he is sure that he won't die, he did not wanted to be saved. He wants to show the world to not mess with him!

"Let me show you my Dance, Sadi was very happy when she saw me use it before." He grinned as both of his whips split in two. He had these whips specially made, normally splitting the whip in multiple would weaken it, but he can easily do it and keep its hardness with his diamond powers.

The best part of it is, that Vegapunk had added some of Kizaru's powers to it as he had done with the Pacifista. Once the whip splits in to, a small holy is opened at the top of it that can shoot up to 100 beams of light before needing to be recharged at the laboratory. But 400 shots is more than enough.

Flicking his wrist, the whips attacking Blennheim encircled him like snakes ready to pounce. Blennheim tried to get out, but Wright was a step ahead.

"Quadruple Whip Style: First Dance!" Flicking both of his wrists, the 4 whips lashed at Blennheim at the speed, not capable of being dodged. No, Very hard to dodged.

This was a modification he personally added with the help of the scientists. The stored Light can be used to control the lashes. Making the speed of the Whip exponentially faster.

"AAAAAAAARRRRGGGGGH!!!" Blennheim screamed atop his lungs. Deep wounds from the lashes were on his body in just under a second. Both of his arms and legs were cut off.

"BLENN!!" Marco's eyes become red as he rushed to Blennheim to heal him.

"No you don't." Wright grinned as two whips blocked marco while the other two went for the head for the now defenseless Blennheim.

"Bye bye!" Wright said as Blennheims head was thrown into the air. leaving the whitebeard pirates seething with anger and killing intent.

"Now, let's keep dancing. If you were a beautiful woman it would have been more fun. Tsk." Clicking his tongue, Wright used the 4 whips to attack Marco, who was having a hard time dodging all of them.

But because of his healing, his damage was healed back up. Wright did not bother sealing him as he did not want to kill him as Vox had already given a list of who should not be killed, Marco was one of the lucky few.

Similarly, Alan, Ina and Reniares were fighting against Kuma. Alan was doing most of the work with Ina and Reniares acting as supports. Every chance she gets, Ina goes and slashes her sword at vital areas. But his body, together with the modifications and Haki blocked all of her slashes.

Reniares on the other hand was using her Wild magic to support the siblings. Her wind magic was too weak to do any damage to Kuma, not to mention she has barely learned the basics of Haki.

Because of the body requirement, her Armament Haki is fairly weak and she can't integrate it into her Wind, making it very hard to fight against Kuma.

Alan however was going close and personal with Kuma, With his Haki and Wish Wish Fruit, he can manage to hold him off. But that is asking for too much, his Energy is running out and once he can't make any wishes, he will not be capable of contending with Kuma.

'What a Joke, it is like asking a novice swordsman to compete in a gun contest with experts.' Alan could not help but shake his head. His specialty was surprisingly support. But without having any capable fighters near him, he had to take the role as a fighter.

'If Samuel were to fight him, it would be so much easier.' Shaking his head out of his thought he again blocked a blow.

"You all are weak, but you have potential." Kuma said as he stopped attacking. The reason for that is because Whitebeard was on his last legs. He did not want to miss the fall of a legend.

Alan and the others also decided to regain some stamina while watching Sengoku and Whitebeard fighting. Both of them were bloodied beyond recognition. Whitebeard had his left arm crushed to mush while many parts of his body were deep blue. His polearm was long broken and a huge hole was in his chest. The fact that he was still alive was just a miracle.

Sengoku was not any better, similarly he had his left hand Crushed to mush. It happened when both traded full power blow and the result was losing a hand. He had many cuts across his body and many internal injuries that showed deep blue on his body.

"Edward you bastard. huuhh...huuhh. " Sengoku said as he barely stood up. He was in no position to fight, he looked at the execution platform to see garp looking at him with gritting teeth. He felt saddened and disappointed that his long time friend did not come to his aid like the old times.

"Gurarara....Huuuhh.. Sengoku....huuuh, you have gotten old as well." Whitebeard said as stood up like a raid boss Even though his wounds said otherwise, his back that everyone could see just showed who Whitebeard, Edward Newgate, was.

"ONE PIECE!" Whitebeard shouted as he felt his body losing strength.

'Damn it! can't you just live and help against the World Government!' Vox cursed in his mind but he also kept looking at him. No matter what, Whitebeard had earned his respect. His thoughts at the start, he felt like a kid now that he thinks about it.

Whitebeard did what he could with what power he had. That was already something that demanded respect from allys and enemies alike. No to mention his strength that keeps him alive with such wounds as well.

Taking a deep breath, Whitebeard once again shouted two words that shocked the whole world.

"IT EXISTS!" His shout made everyone not dare to utter a single word for a dozen seconds. Afterwards, all hell broke loose from all around the world.

"WHAT!?"

"RECORD IT! PRINT OUT! WHITEBEARD CONFIRMED THAT ONE PIECE EXISTS!"

....

...

All around the world, those spectating were in uproar. Back in Marineford, high in the skye Reim shook his head.

'So this is your choice... Edward...'

"BASTARD!" Sengoku shouted but he could not do anything. It was already out there.

"Gahahaha Pops! You don't seem to be doing so well!" An irritating laugh sounded as a fat large man came forward with a few others behind him.

"Teach..." Whitebeard said in a low voice, sadly he could not move anymore.

Sengoku also looked at him and gritted his teeth in anger, he had already received the report of Impel Down and what this man had done.

Garp finally stood up. He could not stay there when the one who caught Ace and orchestrated the war is right in front of him.

"Damn Blackbeard!" as Garp was about to rush at him, All of men behind him rushed to intercept him. Although Garp is powerful, Age is a horrible thing that saps his strength away. It will take a few minutes to kill all of them.

'A few minutes? I only need a minute.' Blackbeard grinned as he shot his flintlock at whitebeard who was close to death.

Unlike the original, Whitebeard could not resist and shortly after stood there motionlessly.

"Gahahahaha! Allow me to show you all a magic trick!" Blackbeard grinned as he pulled a large piece of cloth to hide whitebeard and went inside.

Vox saw all of that and did not interfere. He grinned instead.

'Sorry old man, but I am curious how he does it.' Flicking a card from his hand, he silently turn to golden light.

'Don't be shy, show it to me.' Grinning like an idiot, Vox stops there like the others. Ignoring the fights happening at the other places. He and Enel watched the spectacle.
