Chapter 6: Marineford, Part 1 of 3
-0-0-0-
Before…
When something came hurling out of the sky towards the battlefield in the bay of Marineford, for a few moments the pirates thought that this was some new part of the strategy that the navy had concocted; maybe even a flying ship that was landing to attack. Yet as the ship crashed down into the sole exposed patch of water, it became clear that the marines were just as confused as anyone. In fact, the situation was more surreal than anyone could have imagined.
That the ship was largely intact, aside from splitting in two, was a miracle in itself. That the hundreds of figures that had come with it were still moving of their own volition, despite the sheer fall, was a sign to all the hardened veterans present that the newcomers were no weaklings. The presence of a Supernova who had captured the world's attention, an ex-Warlord of the Seas, and another Warlord who had been conspicuously absent from the ranks of the World Government's forces, only gave further testimony to this. Jinbe? Crocodile? And… Ace's little brother!? Marco blinked in surprise.
Taking advantage of the confusion, Crocodile blurred into motion to attack Whitebeard, but before he could land a blow, a surprising figure stepped in.
'Ace's brother is pretty good,' Marco smiled as the lithe figure whose face he and his brothers had all recognized kicked a Warlord away from Pops, 'Guess I might owe my brothers money on whether or not he beat Crocodile after all.'
Levity aside, the First Division Commander was also carefully assessing the sudden shift in the battlefield at Marineford between the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates and Co. Hundreds of men and women (with all of the latter pleasantly dressed in revealing outfits…along with a bunch of men unfortunately, Fishnets? Really!?) had literally fallen down into the center of the fight, all armed and ready for action. The vast majority of them were also wearing prison uniforms. Jinbe's here too, Marco verified with his Observation Haki, which was strange since last they had heard he was locked up in Impel Down, with the Sun Pirates bolstering security for Fishman Island, But then so was Crocodile last I heard, and I recognize others here from Wanted Posters…
Obviously there had been a prison break, a massive one. A historically unprecedented one from the most secure prison in history, so heavily fortified against invaders or escapees that its reputation had gone unblemished for eight hundred years against all forms of pirates, dissident groups, or nations who had futilely opposed the might of the World Government. And how'd they get past the Gates of Justice, because that was the only way to come so fast, and a quick glance showed the nearest one on the horizon was open, while we're at it? They'd have had to get through two different sets, and Navy HQ would have had to let them in through the second one, which makes no sense!
Never mind the impossibility of their arrival, somehow all of those pirates were cooperating despite the fact that the vast majority of them would have to be violence prone alpha male personalities if they had risen to be worthy of being sent to Impel Down. And if that's Ivanko or Ivankov or whatever, they're also fighting alongside a Revolutionary Army Commander even. As the 'Will of the People,' the Revolutionaries killed pirates as part of their mandate of protecting the very public that the weaker, more pathetic pirates raided and preyed upon. That was why Dragon the Revolutionary had not offered any assistance despite how Whitebeard was off to crush the very World Government the enigmatic man had already been all-but at war with. And yet, again, they were all cooperating. Somehow. It makes sense during a prison break, but why come here next? Many of them were rivals when they were sailing, but somehow worked out how to come here of all places. Heck, how'd Jinbe end up working with Crocodile, if the man went after Pops first chance he got?
And last but not least, what was Ace's kid brother doing mixed up in all this!? He came right with them, but he's not dressed like a prisoner, but not like those…okama is it? Ask Izo later. So he's not with them, but he was standing up front where Jinbe and the other big names were before. So what's his connection?
Yet the commentary from the assembled marines as they took all this in and yelled to each other about the 'crimes' of the newcomers was only serving to confirm what Marco was struggling to wrap his mind around. Did the kid really break into Impel Down to try and save Ace!? Alrighty then, let's get our prioroties straight…
Priority #1: Save Ace.
Priority #2: Get out of Marineford without giving Pops a chance to make a dying last stand.
Priority #3: Get some beers into the kid and get him talking.
Priority #4: Check feasibility of getting the kid tattooed with the Whitebeard's Pride.

Well, he's entertaining at least, Whitebeard conceded as the snot-nosed rookie kicked that upstart Crocodile away, the arrogant man's words confirming that the Emperor's 'savior' was indeed Ace's pipsqueak brother.
That trick with falling from the sky alone will be enough for my Sons to laugh about for years.
And then he saw the hat.
Seeing it for himself without a bounty picture to distort the image, Whitebeard now recognized it immediately from far too many battles in bygone years. He had even held it once, while in his other hand he had gripped its former owner: Red Hair.
To wear that hat…especially given who originally gave it to him…and Shanks lost his arm about the same time in the East Blue, Whitebeard realized. He asked the brat brother confirm its origins, but frankly it was only a formality by this point.
-0-
It was an unprecedented meeting between two Emperors, and both of them were trying to keep it cordial, if only because neither of them wanted to waste their time fighting each other.
'Now I can ask you face-to-face: what enemy did you give that left arm to?'
'This huh?' the other Emperor asked, pausing as if in memory. 'Let's just say, I made a bet…on a new era.'
-0-
So Red Hair marked this one who would be among those defining the new era? As the one to surpass him…?
For Whitebeard could think of no other reason for that man to bestow his most priceless possession. It was the same act of faith he himself displayed whenever a new Son took up his mark: the hope that with his example and guidance they would become greater than their Father.
Throughout this epiphany, his expression never shifted as he stared down at the unassuming child. Too young to be sailing these seas already, Whitebeard decided he needed to test Ace's little brother. Just to see what Shank's had seen ten years ago, Bet the kid was still slurping down juice and learning to tie his shoelaces. Even Ace always emphasized that while Luffy was tough, he was nowhere near Ace's skill. And yes, he burnt down Enies Lobby, but that wasn't a military installation, and they were doubtless complacent after centuries without challenge. Marineford is another story, and no matter how skilled he might be, this is no place for a rookie.
Off to the side, there was a very curious observer to this conversation. As he hurried by to get to the communications room after an urgent summons from the men left on duty for tapping into Marine broadcasts, Marco's eyebrows rose in an uncharacteristic display of surprise. He was older than Pops, and also remembered how Red Hair Shanks felt about his hat. To hear that the boy was holding onto it for the man was…interesting. More and more surprises from this kid, Marco silently smirked.
The aged Emperor called upon his vast authority, knowing that with hardly a gesture he was now vastly more intimidating as he stared down at the interloper, 'Have you come to save your brother?' he asked with his gravely voice.
'That's right!'
'Don't you understand what you're up against!?' Whitebeard angrily growled, slamming the butt of his prized bisento down on the deck, sending out a small shockwave of air, his loud words now drawing the attention of the nearby marines and pirates as they stopped to watch this confrontation between the newcomer and the leader of one of the clashing armies.
The air between them seemed to ripple, with the boy bowing his head. Disappointing, Whitebeard thought, still glaring down, was I mistaken? Or did something happen to him after Red Hair gave him the hat?
Then the face shot back up, forehead veins throbbing with rage as he shouted up with wildly gesturing arms and fists, 'Shut up! That's not for you to decide!' and Whitebeard's eyebrow twitched, 'I know perfectly well! You wanna be the Pirate King, don't you?!' The next words echoed across the battlefield as nearly every combatant froze in disbelief, 'I'm the one who'll be the Pirate King!'
Interesting! Whitebeard thought, not that he would ever show his respect to the rude punk. But is it just a bluff? Veins on his own head visible with fury, he lifted up his bisento and twirled it between his fingers to create a miniature hurricane, and when the end of the weapon came down on the deck this time the force knocked over unwary men down on the ice from dozens of meters away.
The kid never blinked.
And Whitebeard's glare turned into a smile, 'You're pretty damn cheeky…I won't show mercy if you slow me down, you spoiled brat!'
'I'm doing what I want to do!' And then he braced himself to run forward, 'I'm gonna save Ace myself!'

'Yep,' Haruta deadpanned, 'definitely Ace's little brother.'
Apparently suicidal stupidity was somehow genetic. How else would you label staring down their Father's wrath with iron defiance, while loudly declaring that he was a rival of the mighty Whitebeard!? Right up there with daily attempts to assassinate the man despite consistent, and painful, failures. Of course that begs the question of how their parents lived to reproduce.
'Kid's got guts,' one brother commented.
'Yep, ain't backing down. And since Pops hasn't backhanded him yet, that means that he's really got something special there!'
In fact, the two of them seemed to be having a quiet conversation now, casually talking with each other as if their earlier mutual outbursts had never happened. Then, 'Ace, I'm coming now!' and the little Supernova was on the move. Racing across the icy battlefield head-on at the confronting army, who were all eager to cut down the newbie.
'Get out of my way!' screamed the teenage fury as he tossed aside a pack of marines with a single strike of both arms, stretching like Ace had described his Devil Fruit.
'Well he's Aces brother all right,' Jozu rumbled with a grin at the reckless charge to save someone precious to them, 'Third Division, let's get moving! Keep up with the boy and try to follow his lead!'
'YAAAAH!'

'One rookie daredevil suddenly takes the lead, and they're acting like a whole new army!' Fleet Admiral Sengoku groused as 14th Division Commander Speed Jiru got into the act, clearing a path while Jinbe and the strangely dressed Revolutionaries followed behind. Yet then the marine leader calmed down, 'Not that it matters, our strategy is air-tight.'
-0-0-0-
What are they going on about? Jiru wondered as he stabbed another marine while drawing his men away from Kizaru; taking on an Admiral without more of the Division Commanders was too risky. Yet what was distracting was how the various navy officers charging towards Ace's little brother were yelling about a lot different stuff, and why it was so essential that they kill the rookie. The parts about the jail break implies that he's responsible for all these prisoners, but how'd he pull it off? Last we heard he was busy punching Celestial Dragons and holding nobles hostage! Never mind how he escaped that, how'd he pull something like that off so quickly!? Even the Golden Lion took a year to break out of Impel Down! What in the six seas happened while we were traveling underwater?

In the New World
'So the old man gave the go-ahead, huh?' Shanks casually asked.
'Yes,' the fishman master coater tersely answered, trying to hide his nervousness, despite how his team had started working on the Red Force even before it had fully docked into place.
'Alright, we'll stay out of your way,' and with that the Emperor turned around and leapt right back onto his ship. Given the timing of Whitebeard's actions, this new process was doubtlessly far faster than conventional coating methods, probably involve some secret from Fishman Island.
'Any problems?' first mate Benn Beckman asked.
'Nah. For all his tough talk, and despite how we clashed, Whitebeard will still want to end this with as little bloodshed as possible for his sons. If another Emperor shows up the marines will cave in, and he can take Ace and go without hurting his pride or any more deaths. He's counting on how I don't want this to escalate any further, and he knows that I know I'm not in the mood to attack him and his crew while they're weak. Especially after we pushed off Kaido.'
Beckmann modestly nodded, having been the one to predict when and where the third Emperor would try and make his attack. Having ambushed the ambushers, the Red Hair Pirates had been able to drive off the Beast Pirates, especially by damaging their ships enough to make it impossible to pursue either Whitebeard or Shanks. For any other crew, specifically targeting the rudders and keels of the enemy ships over rough waters would be next to impossible, but Shanks only had the best under him. After that, the weary victors had rushed towards the Red Line for their next major battle.

Back in Marineford
Murmurs of surprise echoed through the battlefield at the revelation of Straw Hat's parentage, although reactions varied.
'Y'know, in all those hours and hours Ace blathered on about his kid brother, I don't think he ever mentioned that,' Curiel noted as he reloaded his bazookas.
Going along with the humour, another brother who was covering his Division Commander chirped in, 'In fairness, we could've fallen asleep when he finally got to that part.'
The son of Dragon, eh? Whitebeard thought with interest. What exactly happened, what was Ace and the kid's childhood like? Still, maybe we can use this to help convince Ace to get over being Roger's son.

Seeing someone take down a Giant, particularly a trained naval Giant, was not really too impressive a sight for the assembled New World Veterans. Not only had their Father's earlier demonstration been much more awesome, but in past battles several of his own sons had beaten such foes with equally casual ease as the rookie.
Still, it was pretty interesting to see a scrawny punk grow a fist about the size of the Giant himself and take him down with a single hit-K.O.
As a bonus, it had gotten Ace to shut up with all that stupid and depressing 'Go home, Luffy, I don't want you here' stuff. Frankly, it was uncomfortable for the pirates to hear their favourite brother sounding so…vulnerable.
'Hey Ace!' Straw Hat roared as the Giant collapsed, 'SAY WHATEVER MEAN STUFF YOU WANT! I'M STILL GONNA SAVE YOU!'
'Oh hell, yeah!' Jozu smirked.
'Your brother speaks for every one of us, Ace!' someone called out.
'Yeah! We're all a part of your family, too!' chimed in another brother.
'And nothing's gonna stop us!' Jiru finished, while their Father smiled in pride.
'Don't you let him die, Marco,' the Emperor grinned, with respect he would never let such a little snot-nose see.
With a small chuckle, the Phoenix stepped forward, 'Roger that.'

The tide of battle had shifted once more as the Marines pulled out a hidden ace: an army of duplicates of Kuma the Tyrant, who were all armed with powerful weapons that strongly resembled Admiral Kizaru's Glint-Glint powers.
Sensing how his men were starting to feel demoralized by the appearance of these impassive foes, Whitebeard roared: 'Don't lose faith! March on! Charge the plaza with all of your might!' Blunt yet full of emotion, just like the man himself.
No longer restraining himself to fighting with just his fists, Marco formed his wings and rocketed forward to kick his way through another brace of enemies, using only his human feet since that would defeat them without killing the weaklings. Breaking their pride by showing how unimportant they were, was just another bonus. 'The only retreat I know is death,' he declared, grim determination brushing aside his sleepy appearance. 'But I'll rescue Ace before they send me down that road.'
Out of earshot of the First Division Commander, the allied Captains voiced similar words as they rallied themselves against these new enemies. For Ace, their friend and brother, they would all lay down their lives if necessary.
Still, what else is going on? Marco wondered. He was no strategist, his skills lay in fighting tactics, navigation, people management, and other skills, leaving the more complicated planning to his Father. But he was a lot older than he looked, and had learnt a thing or two over the years, and something was off with this battle. The Admirals were keeping back for the most part, laying low while watching for the perfect time to enter the battle to shift it in their favour, while also being mindful of big picture and not getting caught up and distracted by the small stuff. Just like Pops is. And luring us into the bay makes sense since a lot of their cannons are still working, but the Warlords are hardly exerting themselves, and there've been no surprises except for these new human weapons, despite how they knew we were coming. That was why he was sticking close to the Moby Dick while his fellow Commanders advanced, to act as a loose bodyguard for Pops, What else do they have? What's the Buddha schemed up?

In defiance of Marco's assessment, one of the Admirals was on the move now. Izo was leading some of his fellow Division Commanders, Kingdew, Haruta, Fossa, Blenheim, Speed Jiru, and Namur, when they all saw the flash of light ahead that signaled the arrival of Admiral Kizaru.
Ace's little brother had drawn ahead of his fellow pirates, enough that one of the World Government's Ultimate Powers had decided that he had to personally eliminate the rookie while he was exposed. Again the kid is a target, why? Izo wondered. Aside from a few failed attempts to kill their Father, the Division Commanders, veterans who were feared as monsters across the world, were largely only dealing with the small fry. Do they fear his blood that much?
Without hesitation, one of Kizaru's infamous kicks sent the boy flying back, only to be caught by Jinbe who had been following right behind.
Lining up his pistols, Izo took out a sniper aiming the kid, Seems a bit winded but the rookie's getting back up, but not moving forward anymore, he noted. 'Ace's little brother,' he snapped, aiming to provoke the kid back into action, 'Are you exhausted already!? Well!?'
Both men gasped in surprise, but Jinbe did so with pleasure as he took in his friends suddenly in front of him and Ace's brother, 'Whitebeard's Commanders! We won't find any better backup than that!'
'Don't let those admirals stop you! Come with us! The Navy is retreating! Now's our chance! We'll break through their lines!' Izo continued as he drove his message home, 'Now follow us!'
'Yeah, let's take 'em!' the kid yelled in agreement, his defiance restored as he charged after the Whitebeard pirates.

You can judge a man by his enemies, Vista thought as he traded blows with the legendary Mihawk, and that kid's sure got an impressive array of enemies. First Kizaru, and now Hawkeye himself personally targeting him. Even heard some guys yell that he took out Pirate Empress Hancock with a submission hold, the lucky guy!
But the most impressive fact was that Pops had ordered his sons to keep the kid alive. Of course, with every moment it becomes clearer to see why Pops told us that, to keep an eye on him even while we're fighting a war to save Ace, when it would be easier to just leave the his brother hogtied back on the Moby Dick where he'd be safe.
'Shall we put this match on hold, Vista?' Hawkeye asked in his calm yet unnerving voice after disengaging from another clash with his fellow swordsman.
'Much as I'd hate to, we do have other matters to worry about,' Vista conceded, and then charged to rejoin his advancing brothers.

The War had stalled as Whitebeard was ambushed by one of his own allies, only the Pacifista and those already locked in life-and-death battles failed to have their attention pulled back to the sight of a living legend fall to his knee.
For those who had been raised to believe that this man, no this monster, was the boogeyman that would eat them up if they failed to behave, it shattered many a marine's composure to see that Edward Newgate was no longer an unstoppable force.
For the Whitebeard Pirates, it was the ultimate fear. That one of their own had betrayed them again.
Hating Squard almost as much as he hated himself for letting his guard down, Marco tried to offer help to his Father even as the traitor regained his breath and started his nonsensical rambling: that Pops had betrayed the allied crews, that Marco himself was in on it, and other garbage. Then the upstart Crocodile got in on it, yelling his disbelief that the great Whitebeard had let himself be injured.
It's true. He coulda easily blocked that if he was as tough as he used to be. It wouldn't have mattered that it was a surprise attack, or that it came from one of his allies. Has Pops gotten weaker than we thought, and I just didn't notice? He remembered how Pops had ripped off the last of his medical instruments after sending his nurses away. He's letting his health get worse and worse!
And then all of Marineford bore witness to the equal and uncompromising love Whitebeard held for all his sons, as he forgave and hugged the unruly Squard. Despite this, Marco's attention was turned to sensing for any further threats while hampered by his own guilt at failing to notice how close Pops was to dying.
He was shaken out of his dark thoughts as Squard gave a name: Akainu.
The man responsible for twisting the thoughts of a brother, for making him forget how much Whitebeard loved his family, his entire family, and making him hurt Pops, both in body and pride. You'll pay for this, Akainu! Marco vowed.
Whitebeard stepped around Squard as he moved forward, ready to tear down Marineford for this insult alone, 'You think I would ever sell out my sons!?' he growled so loud that everyone heard it, and then punched the air. To the sides the encircling glaciers were shattered, allowing for his allies to escape if they wanted to. I'm too old, I should have seen how that hampered them beforehand. Everyone's depending on me to keep an eye on the big picture, and I blew it! But we can't stop now! His next words tore deep into the hearts of his sons, shredding their final doubts.
'IF YOU'RE PIRATES, THEN DECIDE FOR YOURSELVES WHAT TO BELIEVE!'
He ignored Squard's sobs out of respect for his dignity, even as the allied Captains cried out their loyalty.
A weak man, you say? Whitebeard thought at Crocodile the former Warlord and past enemy. Give me a break, Alligator-kid! I'm only one man, with one heart. They may call me a demon or a monster or whatever, but I won't be the strongest forever. If I can help just one young life rise to the future, then it will be enough for me. No more standing back, now was the time for him to take action to save Ace and protect the lives of all his other sons, and his words thundered out with the ferocity of a storm.
'THOSE WILLING TO COME WITH ME, FOLLOW ME EVEN IF IT COSTS YOU YOUR LIVES!'
And the world's strongest man leapt into the fray.

It was almost as if Whitebeard was playing with the vice-admiral Giant, but he was merely conserving his strength for what was yet to come. It was still no contest however. Someone like Shanks might be able to force his fellow Emperor into using both hands to swing his bisento, but this overambitious punk was unworthy of even facing even the lowliest of that upstart's crew.
Up on the scaffold in the plaza, Garp and Sengoku looked on in resignation at the familiar sight of their comrades being torn apart like bugs before Whitebeard's wrath. As a consequence of the World Government's unofficial decision to leave the man alone, none of the newer generations had any real experience fighting an Emperor and his armies.
The modern Admirals? They were men who when younger had survived an encounter with an Emperor. Only the Buddha and the Fist had any real experience fighting prolonged battles with such monsters on equal grounds. And of course, this time retreat isn't an option, Sengoku knew.
Yet what kept coming to Sengoku's mind as he had prepared to close the book on the story of Edward Newgate, was the same secret, private thought he had for the man every time he thought about him: What a waste.
If only he had turned his brilliance towards Justice. Cipher Pol had dissected the man's life, they knew how he had grown up in the backstreets of one of the Blues, and how from the very start he had distinguished himself amongst the street kids for his strength and ingenuity. Sengoku had read several older accounts, of a burly young boy with a knife tied to the end of a stick fending off entire gangs. And all on his own, because he had no one else, just like Roger as child, growing up alone in the backstreets of Loguetown.
Roger conquered the seas, and Whitebeard built an empire out of riffraff and all but ruled over the pirates in their Golden Age. Someone like him could have brought peace and prosperity all across the world, like all three of our Admirals did after they clawed their way out of poverty! But no, instead both of them chose to be pirates and selfishly wasted their talents on greed and violence! Destroying whatever or whoever so much as annoyed them! Whatever good they did for those living in the New World, it doesn't balance against the threat their examples posed. But here and today, it finally ends.

The New World was fraught with unnatural and hazardous phenomena. A place where only the strong, the skilled, and the lucky survived. Yet this surpassed the worst that the Whitebeard Pirates had ever endured.
They had been suckered by the frozen water into charging in to the bay, trusting that the firm surface would endure, and now it was melting before them, turning the water below into a boiling cauldron to either drown them or scald them alive. Endlessly the burning rocks poured down at them, and they could only watch in horror as the Moby Dick, their home, their one safe harbour in the madness of this world, was consumed before their eyes. They had failed to protect her, to keep faith with her as she had done so for them.
But through all of this, one rookie kept advancing, screaming out the name of the man they all loved, spurring on others in defiance of the inevitable.
It was a Forlorn Hope, but they would not falter, they would not quit. They would follow Ace's little brother to achieve the impossible.

It was impossible.
Their efforts to reach the opening meant they were funneling themselves through relentless cannon fire, and not even the Division Commanders, aside from Jozu and Marco, could survive a direct hit from that.
Even the sight of Little Oars Jr. alive and well could only temporarily disperse their despair. And then something shot overhead.
An airborne current of water rocketed over the seemingly indestructible enclosing walls and arched down into the plaza, but even those without haki had caught a glimpse of who was riding within it.
![Marineford War Full English Sub Marineford War Full English Sub](/uploads/1/2/6/3/126361562/388100866.jpg)
The Whitebeard Pirates watched in awe as Straw Hat Luffy entered the plaza, ready to wage a one-man war against the full wrath of the Navy and Warlords, landing right before the Three Admirals themselves. A battle hidden from their view against impossible odds.
Yet all heard his defiant roar: 'Give Ace back!'

Author Notes:
For those of you who are curious, the dialogue is crafted together from the dubbed and subbed anime, along with the printed manga. I did add some lines in of course, but did not change any of the original content. Additional scenes are drawn from the anime.

When Marco thinks of Crocodile as a Warlord, yes the man is technically an Ex-Warlord, but this is the Phoenix's way of acknowledging the strength behind the title, and thus Luffy's strength. And yeah, he forgot about Shiki the Golden Lion also escaping from Impel Down, but only because of the heat of the moment.
Readers would be correct to point out that Shank's is actually the second owner of that straw hat, but since we do not know when Roger gave it him, it would not be unreasonable for Whitebeard to be unaware of this fact.
Some readers may be unaware, but Oda did pictures of the Admirals as children, and they are all clearly shown having crawled out of poverty to such august positions. Very impressive. Can find copies of these pictures on the wiki.
Sorry to leave you there, but given the sheer length of the arc, I had to break it up into three chapters.
