War of the best: Akainu is injured (7/?)

As Whitebeard charges into battle, all of his crew and subordinate crews follow behind and tries to open a path for him. John Giant the marine's vice admiral, then appears on the front line, ready to stop or rather delay Whitebeard and his crew as his and Whitebeard's weapons clash with the old man yelling at him to move from the way.

Whitebeard then surprises the giant by causing an earthquake so massive, after letting go of his weapon and grabbing the air with two hands, that the entire island tilts to one side. As the Marines starts panicking, Doflamingo laughs about how insane Whitebeard power is, while Hancock continues to care only for Luffy's safety. Whitebeard then delivers a quake-imbued punch to John Giant's chest, defeating him.

That single punch was so strong that it unearthed the ice on its way to the execution platform. But dust was raised and people couldn't see anything for a few seconds.

As onlookers wonder why the quakes are not effecting the execution platform, they see that the three admirals are somehow holding it together while holding both their hands outward, as the three of them banter about how it is each other's fault that the wall is not up yet to trap the pirates.

Aokiji looks to the side where Ian was and sees him continuing to destroy the Pacifista as if the old man had done nothing. Truly a warrior, he did not stop in the middle of the war to see stupid events unfolding.

He had been ordered to go take care of him, but at the last second when Sengoku saw the old man attacking he ordered him to stay his place.

As the pirates finally make it towards the city, dozens of walls shoot up from the ground, blocking their path. As much as the pirates try to attack it, the wall will not budge. Cannons emerge from the walls, preparing to fire. However, one wall near the front remains open; Oars' body is blocking the wall's path, and his blood has interfered with the system. Although the situation is not ideal, Sengoku commands Akainu to attack anyway; Akainu then uses 'Meteor Volcano', causing a storm of flaming fists to rain down upon the pirates.

Back to Ian. Since he noticed Aokiji was not coming, he doubled his speed, and proceeded to devastate the Pacifista completely.

At first he still considering how much to show off of his strength at this point, but to avoid the worst he would double his efforts for now. He knew things were about to get real soon.

With his now faster speed he continued destroying them with one slash of a sword and attacking the farther ones with flying slashes. In a minutes he cleared the same as he had done before while avoiding the fat guy, who incidentally until now was still not giving up on stopping Ian.

He also noticed as the three admirals stopped the old man's attack and how Aokiji looked at him.

Now only seven were left. He proceeded to finish them off while occasionally stepping sideways and avoiding an axe attack that came suddenly.

Once he was done, he turned to look at the guy who made him irritated.

"Bastard, if I wasn't pressured for time, do you think I will let you chase me around like a dog?" Ian muttered as he raised his hands and Pulled at the fat guy.

[Pull]

Instantly the fat guy was suspended in the sky in front of Ian with a look of horror on his face. He couldn't move a muscle. Earlier he thought Ian was weak and kept taunting him to stop and fight… only now did he know that he was the weak one.

Ian considered making him feel some pain, but shook his head in a second. He was not a bad person like Doflamingo and Enel… he didn't deserve that much pain. And Ian was not an evil person…

[Throw]

So he just made him lose consciousness by a chop at the neck. He then threw him at the far side away from the pirates and near the marines. This way he wouldn't die, but would be given medical care.

He then came to witness Akainu's ongoing godly attack.

'Truly the war of the best' Ian couldn't help but think to himself as he witnessed the sky turning red.

A storm of flaming fists was raining down upon the pirates. It covered the whole area the pirates were standing on. And the same area the other admiral had frozen at the start of the war.

However Ian was not going to let Akainu do as he pleases at this time.

First he started with their secret weapon, and now he was going to stop this attack. Discreetly though.

[Shave]

He used 'Shave' and stepped back on the Moby dick. Then he sat down and started breathing roughly. Of course all of this was fake. He was going for this tactic to divert the attention, of what he was going to do next, from him.

Then he released his Energy to the max, he even used his scaly mode to boost his power. Then he started controlling the flaming fists and directed them with slight difficulty towards the far end of the sea he could see.

However, Akainu was still shooting the flaming fists into the sky. As such Ian closed his eyes for a second as he tried to sense for Elene's whereabouts. Once he found her, he saw she was on the top of the mast in the crow's nest hiding and shooting discreetly from the shadows. He gave her the signal they had agreed upon from before.

She then nodded.

She focused quite a bit of shadow energy into one bullet, then she aimed at Akainu's shoulder and shot it. The bullet had the effect that it will slow down the person shot, until he losses feeling in the place it hit. Of course there was a time limit of one minute. Which is much higher for weaker people. Of course the bullet was infused with Haki in order to be able to hurt him.

Once the shot was made, Akainu lost his focus and cancelled his attack as he tried to dodge the attack he felt but didn't know from where would come, but it was futile as he suddenly clutched his right shoulder in pain. He even slowly started losing the feeling in it. He frantically looked around for the culprit as he stepped back wary of another shot made.

Ian then finally channeled all the remaining Meteors towards the sea where they solidified into rocks and sank into the bottom.

All of this happened in a few seconds, leaving none the wiser. Except the old man who knew of Ian's ability.

Meanwhile, Sengoku was raging around trying to find the culprit who was destroying his plans. He even considered Ian, but Aokiji stepped up and pointed at Ian who was roughly breathing at the ship. Aokiji told him that he had been keeping an eye on him and saw him as he was tired from the fight with the Pacifista. Sengoku tried looking for other suspects, but didn't forget to tell Aokiji to deal with Ian so that he would not deal them more damage, as even the act of destroying the Pacifista should have been stopped.

'Ian really have done us a huge favor this time…' Whitebeard thought to himself.

'They trapped us in these fortified walls, and were going to open fire on us with the cannons, along with the sky attack that will destroy us and leave us with no place to stand on, while simultaneously being destroyed from the back by those robots… I will make sure to thank him well at the end of this' He then promised himself that he will be an ally towards Ian from now on.
