Heart

"Ace! I am here to save you." The silence on the Marineford was finally broken by a scream from the sky.

Everyone looked up in the sky and saw a ship falling from the sky with many people on it or prisoners.

Garp and Ace's faces turn ugly when they hear the shout. They were even speechless when they saw him falling from the sky.

"You moron!" Ace screamed in worries

"That damn kid." Garp bites another cookie and gambles in anger.

But few things have already changed because of Edward's appearance. There is no empty place on the ice field where Luffy and others will fall.

Nor did Whitebeard care. Luffy will survive the fall as he is made of rubber. Some few strong guys will survive too. But the rest will die for sure.

As he thought, the first to fall was the ship and it broke like glass.

"Aah!" Many fell after it and died on the spot.

Luffy survives as expected of his plot armour. Crocodile survived using his devil fruit power Mr 1 also survived because of his help.

That transgender also survives with her ability. She also saved a few of her followers in the process.

But surprisingly that clown survived too. Whitebeard didn't notice how he survived but he survived nonetheless.

"Gurararara…." Whitebeard continues to laugh. His eyes never left Luffy. Until a few days ago he was seeing him in anime but now here he is in front of him.

Suddenly a storm of sand shot towards him faster with the intention of attacking him. Whitebeard didn't even look at him. This angered Crocodile even more.

Before Crocodile could make contact, Luffy appears between them and kicks him with all of his strength. His leg is wet.

Whitebeard raises his eyebrow and looks at the goofy guy closer. He looked at Luffy's wet leg and thought 'Plot armour is really powerful. If it was any other logia fruit then Luffy would have been fucked.'

"We had an agreement, did we not? Why did you defend Whitebeard?" Crocodile asked in anger.

"So this guy is really Whitebeard. Then you are not touching him. He is the one that Ace cared about a lot." Replied Luffy.

"Gurararara... Are you here to save your brother, boy?" Whitebeard asked, knowing the obvious answer.

"Yeah, I am here to save Ace," Luffy replied. He then takes a long breath and screams "Aceeeeeee Iiiii am here Saveeeee youuuuuu."

He jumped and started to run towards Ace. But unlike the show, the Marines aren't so enthusiastic about stopping him. They are not even sure if they should continue this fight.

Why are they fighting? Wasn't it for justice? But did they really achieve any justice? If that was truly the face of Marines behind the scene then was it worth it to give their life for such filth?

Sengoku isn't stupid. He knows what Whitebeard is trying to achieve. Even he had the same idea to do with Whitebeard and his crew.

He would have succeeded if it was the Whitebeard he knew. Who is too prideful and doesn't give a shit about political affairs.

But this Whitebeard not only recovered and reached even higher but also started to be shrewd like him (Sengoku).

Sengoku took a deep breath and said "Nothing is perfect. As long as there's light there will also be shadows. I won't say among the hundred Marines all hundred will be good. There will always be corrupt people."

Sengoku then looked at Garp and continued "But there will also be some who will fight for justice, fight for peace, someone like him. Someone who will give their all for justice."

Sengoku then look at every Marine and said loudly "So instead of thinking about what others are doing ask yourself 'Will you stand and watch injustice? Will you see the pirates looting and killing? Or will you go and face them, die fighting for justice?"

Sengoku raised his voice "Even if it meant saving one life, that one life is worth fighting for. Justice is in our hearts. It depends on us, ourselves, to fight evil."

He then looked at Whitebeard who was still smiling showing his white teeth and said "Even if it is I am alone on the side of justice, even if the whole world is against me I will fight it head on. I will fight for justice, that is what my heart is telling me to do."

In the middle of his speech, the Marines started to regain their motives. By the end of the speech, they were looking high with their previous spirits.

They all have this one thought 'Yes, even if I can do a little justice before my death, that would be enough for me.'

"Haaaa" Who knows who shouted first but everyone followed him and ran to face the pirate. This time they don't care if it's any plot or psychological war. They just want to kill at least one pirate so that it would lessen the suffering of the world's civilians.
