I don't care if Whitebeard comes to save you

Akainu was thrown at an immense speed but he wasn't weak and just stopped himself for taste the ground after he planted his feet to the ground in the last second and he got dragged quite a bit. He had landed straight at Marineford near Ace's execution platform. He was furious and almost was ready to head back and attack Ken but Sengoku stopped him and said.

"Did you do what was supposed to be done?"

"No. That bitch didn't allow me to even get close to the other pirate." Akainu roared as he used magma heat to dry himself off. He was humiliated and ashamed. Though Ken didn't physically hurt him but it definitely made him feel worthless. Taking help for his own subordinate and almost dying made him seething with rage. But he couldn't say it out loud. Little did he know that everything was watched by thousands of people around the world.

The bitch here was Akainu, not Ken.

Meanwhile, Ken landed in one of the pirate ships under Whitebeard. The Captain of the ship was Squard. The Maelstrom Spider Pirates. Affiliated to Whitebeard Pirates.

"You are..?" Squard was confused when Ken appeared. He had seen the posters as Ace had told him that Ken was his brother but he didn't understand why he was here.

"Ken. From Straw hats. I will make this short and precise. If you or any other pirate here backstabs Whitebeard, I will personally kill you all." Ken said and his words came as a thunder.

"What? How dare you. We will never hurt pops."

"Are you senile Punisher Kenny? How can we ever hurt father."

"You are insane."

Everyone shouted except for Squard. He was silent and looked at Kenny.

"I am not saying this to all but to Squard. You know what I am talking about. Don't you?"

"I am never going to hit Pops. You are just mad." Sqaurd shouted.

"Mad? You hated Roger and now that his son is here. Don't you wish to hate him too?" Ken asked. This made everyone in the ship and all the nearby ships remember how Squard seemed to hate Roger and Ace was the son of Roger.

"I hate Roger, not him." Squard said.

"Good to know. If by any chance I see your hatred for Roger land on Whitebeard or my brother, the first to be slayed will be you and no questions asked. And no, I don't care if Whitebeard come to defend you." Ken said and with that vanished away. Squard was angry that he threatened him.

He was a pirate to begin with and quite a reputable one at that. But he could also understand why Ken had come to threaten him, somehow Ken had come to know that he had hatred for Roger and thus came to warn him. He didn't hate Ace per se but he did have some amount of resentment. He hated Roger for what he did to his village and thus he was never going to forgive him.

Before Ken vanishing from the side, he saw a huge ship sailing towards them. The ship that was carrying Little Oars jr. Ken had to admit that the naming was definitely wrong here. How the hell was he 'little'?

Ken was back at the battlefield and saw everyone was trying their best. The marines and the whitebeard pirates clashed and it was a massive war in all directions. The scarlet sky was ablaze with the echoes of cannonfire and the shouts of warriors, as the Whitebeard Pirates clashed with the forces of the World Government.

Franky, with a surge of cybernetic energy surged forward, his enhanced legs propelling him with incredible speed. His eyes, a pulsating amalgamation of human and machine, analyzed the battlefield with precision. Armed with an array of advanced weaponry, his arms transformed into an arsenal of futuristic firearms, each shot resonating like a chorus of thunderclaps.

"New invention of Doctor Vegapunk?"

"Why is he on Whitebeard's side if he is an android."

"Did Vegapunk betray us?"

The Marines, taken aback by the appearance of this mechanical marvel, attempted to repel him. But Franky's body, forged from the finest materials, deflected bullets and repelled strikes with ease. A barrage of missiles erupted from his shoulders, honing in on Marine battleships with unerring accuracy, sending them spiraling into the sea with fiery explosions.

As the battle raged on, one the admirals of the Marines took notice of Cyborg's prowess. He sent a light attack from far at Franky. And this attack was met with his adaptive shield, absorbing and dispersing the kinetic energy. Ken was proud of it when he saw this. Taking on the attack of an Admiral and didn't get humiliated was in itself a huge feat.

The Whitebeard Pirates cheered.

Chopper had morphed into a colossal elephant, the ground trembling beneath the weight of his transformation. With a triumphant trumpet, he charged into the fray, his massive form crashing through the Marine lines like a battering ram. Marines were sent flying, their formations disrupted by the sheer force of his charge.

But Chopper's transformations were not limited to the land. In a swift sequence, he shifted into a falcon, taking to the skies with a grace that defied his current avian form. His keen eyesight allowed him to spot key targets on the battlefield. With a screech, he dove down, talons outstretched, aiming for Marine officers who posed a significant threat.

One moment, he was a towering gorilla, pounding the ground and creating shockwaves that reverberated through the battlefield. The next, he transformed into a sleek cheetah, darting through enemy lines with unparalleled speed, leaving confusion and chaos in his wake.

"Garp what kind of members did your grandson collect. How are they outrageous?" Sengoku shouted as he couldn't believe what he was seeing. Franky could be explained. But what was up with this racoon.

"Hahahah.. As expected of my grandson." Garp laughed lightly. Normally he was very proud of his grandson but this time he was really amazed.
