End of the Marineford War!
He turned and slowly took steps as he said "Stop… Criminal… Scum!" The Whitebeard pirates fell to the ground with blank expressions, unable to believe it.
Ace looked at Whitebeard in shock and held his head, muttering "Ah… AH… AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" His lower body exploded into flames and he shot off the ground, flying at Galan and screaming "I'LL KILL YOU!"
Galan looked up at Ace with difficulty and said "Silly child… I'll reunite the two of you!" he raised a fist and flashed as Ace punched a hole in the ground!
Galan suddenly uppercut Ace!
Under everyone in the world's stunned gaze, Galan's hand poked through Ace's chest and out his back!
Ace froze and his eyes widened!
Luffy froze and collapsed to his knees, as his eyes blurred.
Galan raised his other fist and punched down hard, kicking up a cloud of dust in a massive explosion!
A cool breeze blew by and revealed Galan with blood all over him, standing over a mangled corpse with red beads scattered all around it.
The Whitebeard Pirates couldn't even vocalize their grief, opening their mouths only for nothing to come out.
Galan stepped over the corpse and shakily walked to the rest, saying "Come on… Bastards…" Jinbe grabbed Luffy and ran off quickly, diving into the water and escaping!
The Whitebeard pirates glared at Galan, intense rage exploding from every single one of them!
Galan raised his fists, only seeing blurs as the Conqueror's entanglement had been gone for a while now… before the broadcast resumed!
Suddenly, an eerie laugh was heard, "Zehahahaha! Finally! The Old man is dead!"
Everyone turned to see Blackbeard appear with several criminals from Impel Down!
He jumped down with them and walked over leisurely, as though nobody could do anything to him.
However, this guy didn't realize there was still a wolf prowling around!
Galan held out his hand, saying "Blackbeard, what are you doing here? And you released these criminals from Impel Down?" Blackbeard stopped and laughed "Oh! Zehahaha! Yeah! Why else would I need a Warlord status?!"
Whitebeard seemed to have mustered some energy and said "Teach…?" before chuckling. Teach looked at Whitebeard saying "You're alive?!" Whitebeard laughed and said "You're not him. You're not the one Roger was waiting for… Will can never be extinguished… eventually someone will inherit Roger's will…"
He glanced to the side and added "Ace's will… someone will inherit it and challenge the world… shouldering centuries of history… The World Government fears that this day will come! But…" he glanced at Galan secretly "It's inevitable!"
He looked forward and continued "I have no interest in history… nor the treasure that lies at the end of the world… but one day… the war will come! That great treasure will be found!" he raised his head and shouted "The One Piece…."
"THE ONE PIECE IS REAL!"
The people around the world, watching, froze in shock, staring at the screen with wide eyes, unable to believe what they just witnessed!
Every single person watching felt chills down their spines as if the world shook from Whitebeard's words!
Countless people shook and trembled at the declaration!
A new era will dawn on this world after today!
However… he would never see this era.
He would only spark the tinder and create a raging fire!
The Strongest Man in the World…
Fell today.
At the hands of the Fleet Admiral.
But his will carried on!
His coat flew off his body like magic and revealed to the camera, a clear and unblemished back! Of all the wounds and damage to his body over the years and during the fight today, not a single wound appeared on his back!
He never ran away!
The man who died standing tall!
A pillar for the new era and all those who flourish in it…
Edward 'Whitebeard' Newgate.
Galan walked in front of Whitebeard, saying "So, I can understand that you are forfeiting your title, is that correct?" Blackbeard laughed "Yeah! Zehahahaha! Now get out of the way, old man!"
Galan nodded expressionlessly, "In that case…" he clenched his fist and threw out a punch!
Blackbeard and the criminals were horrified as they were blasted across Marineford, smashing into rubble!
Galan slowly walked towards them, swaying slightly, barely maintaining consciousness. The only thing keeping him going was…
Protecting Whitebeard's corpse!
He wouldn't let some bastard desecrate it, no matter who it was!
Blackbeard was shocked and scared "Why is this guy still so strong!? He's barely hanging on by a thread!" Shiryu pulled his sword and said "Let me take care of him, I've been tired of this asshole for a long time!"
Galan swayed and stomped on the ground, saying "You want to desecrate his corpse, you'll have to kill me, scum!" as his hands mustered as much strength as they could.
He charged at Blackbeard with closed eyes, throwing a fist!
Blackbeard covered himself with his arms, screaming as the rest of his crew attacked in fear!
You know! This guy just killed Whitebeard!
This was a huge psychological shadow!
Galan grit his teeth and his entire body turned dark gray! He wasn't going to die here! Not at the hands of these punks!
He swung his fists wildly, grunting fearlessly!
The Blackbeard pirates were smashed around and sent flying through rubble!
Shiryu flashed over and slashed down on Galan, cutting across his chest as blood sprayed on Shiryu's face! Galan didn't even flinch, grabbing Shiryu's face and smashing him into the ground, shaking what was left of Marineford!
Galan kicked Shiryu in the face and sent him flying into Catarina Devon as he roared and charged at Blackbeard, tackling Vasco Shot and hammering his face with his fists! He jumped off him and lunged at Blackbeard, grunt roaring!
Blackbeard punched with his Darkness Fruit powers, but it did nothing!
Galan punched him in the face and roared, twisting his body and smashing Teach into the ground, turning him a full 180 degrees!
Teach's eyes blurred as he laid in the pit.
Galan was breathing heavily but he couldn't keep up anymore… he took too much damage from Whitebeard. He needed to recover, badly!
His strength was getting weaker and weaker, he didn't manage to kill any of the Blackbeard pirates unfortunately…
But they didn't know that!
Galan grit his teeth and swung his arms, roaring as the Blackbeard Pirates picked up Teach, Shiryu, and Vasco Shot before running away quickly!
Galan chased after them until Sanjuan Wolf grabbed them and pushed a raft quickly, escaping as fast as possible!
Galan stood on the edge and roared before turning around, mustering all his strength!
He ran back and went to fight against the Whitebeard Pirates again, but suddenly a red haired man appeared, blocking the punch with his sword!
Shanks was here!
Shanks was going to say some threats to get Galan to stop but he felt the power behind the punch and understood instantly.
He didn't reveal anything and said firmly, "I'm here to stop this war! If you want to continue fighting, you can fight us!"
The Red Hair pirates walked out onto the plaza and Galan clenched his fists, his entire body covered in blood as he declared loudly "This war… is over!"
The weaker pirates fell down and sweat covered them!
Shanks looked at Galan and turned to Buggy, who's men were holding a snail. Shanks grinned, "Hey Buggy! Long time no see…" as the snail suddenly fainted. Ending the broadcast.
Galan nearly fell over, but Shanks held him, saying "You can't fall now, Fleet Admiral… Just a bit more." his voice was barely above a whisper.
Galan stood there and said "Take Whitebeard's body, sorry about Ace's." Shanks looked at Ace's mangled corpse and sighed before saying "It's…" before sighing again. He turned around and waved "Load the ships! We'll escort the Whitebeard Pirates back to the New World!"
Shanks reclaimed Whitebeard's body and passed Galan, who was standing tall with his fists clenched. Shanks gave him a deep look before leaving with his crew, sailing away.
Galan stood tall as the ships left, all around him was a shattered island with blood and guts all over the place.
He was the only living person left on the plaza!
He suddenly swayed and fell to the ground face first.
Suddenly, Olvia appeared and caught him. She hugged his body and smiled gently "I'm so sorry, Galan…" Galan was completely passed out and she held him before disappearing into the shattered Island.
