Third Person POV
Sabaody Archipelago, First Half of Grandline.
...
...
The ship began to sink as the entire marine ecosystem filled all sides, with the Black Pearl descending further every moment.
"This is incredible!" Chopper shouted excitedly.
"So these are the roots of the Sabaody trees..." Robin said in admiration.
"So my home is down here...?" Shirahoshi murmured, looking at the scene before her.
"Yes, princess..." Hachi muttered, familiar with the region.
While everyone marveled, Nami noticed Luffy silently appreciating the marine ecosystem as well. "Luffy, do you know if they will succeed before they find us?" Nami asked.
"Yes, the information I got was from Kuma. He has all the government communications, and he provided some very valuable intel..." Luffy commented.
"I hope this will be necessary. We'll have to deal with an even more enraged government," she complained, but Luffy shrugged.
"Well, our arrival at the war should be impactful, so it will be necessary," Luffy smiled.
The ship continued descending after that, reaching 2,000 meters below the surface. The crew kept admiring the fish and everything they encountered in that place.
"What a funny fish!" Yamato laughed at the shapes of the underwater creatures.
"Shirahoshi." Luffy called the mermaid who was looking off the side of the deck.
"Yes, Luffy-sama." She looked at him.
"I want you to summon the Sea Kings. It's time for them to pull us to Impeldown," Luffy said, watching Nami manage the direction.
"Alright, I'll try!" Shirahoshi said with some determination, then flew to the top of the deck.
"Sea Kings-sama! I need your help to carry our ship!" she shouted with all her might, her hands cupped around her mouth to create an echo.
The sea fell silent as the entire crew waited, trying to detect any change in the darkness ahead, but no response seemed to come.
"Our ruler is calling us!" Suddenly, a voice emerged from the depths of the ocean. The crew seemed oblivious to it, as if they hadn't heard it, except for two—Shirahoshi, who was surprised, and Luffy, whose eyes widened.
"Is this the voice of all things...?" Luffy was quite surprised by this. He had this dormant ability within him but had never managed to control it, even when he used it on that poneglyph in East Blue.
"Are you alright... Husband?" Alvida asked, noticing Luffy's strange behavior, although there was no visible change in the sea.
"I am... it's just..." Luffy gave up trying to explain and looked at Shirahoshi with a confused yet astonished expression.
"Did you hear that, Shira?" he asked, while the crew remained puzzled by his words, having heard nothing.
"Yes! They responded... I am the ruler...?" Shirahoshi was surprised by this.
"Yes... You are Poseidon, of course you rule all the seas," Luffy said with a smile to the girl, who nodded. He turned his attention back to the crew, still not understanding what was happening. "The Sea Kings are coming. Let's put the chains out," Luffy instructed.
"Right." Usopp began to get the chains on the deck with Hachi, Chopper in his muscular form, and even Yamato, throwing them outside the coating.
A moment later, shadows began approaching the ship, with eyes opening as large as 50 times the size of the Black Pearl.
"We're going to die!" Nami and Vivi hugged each other in fear as Usopp and Chopper ran scared across the deck. The others frowned as more and more creatures of the same size appeared.
"Hey, Luffy, I hope this plan of yours doesn't kill us!" Lami immediately complained.
"Shira, explain to them." Luffy turned his attention back to the mermaid.
"Yes, Luffy-sama!" she said, focusing on the immense Sea Kings. She didn't feel fear but rather a certain familiarity, a sense of belonging.
"Hello, Sea Kings-sama! We need you to push our ship there!" She pointed while holding the Eternal Pose to Impeldown.
The monster remained silent for a moment, then opened its mouth as several bubbles of air emerged. "YES!" it said, forcing Luffy and Shirahoshi to cover their ears from the nearby sound.
"DON'T SHOUT!" Luffy exclaimed with his Moa Moa no Mi amplifying the sound.
"DON'T SHOUT!" His crew shouted back at him with grimaces, as they all had to cover their ears from Luffy's yell.
"Luffy, who are you talking to?" Nojiko asked, confused, while it seemed that only Shirahoshi and Luffy could hear something none of them could.
"That guy is talking. But only Shira and I can hear him," Luffy commented.
"Only you two can hear?" Robin approached Luffy, curious.
"It's hard to explain, but the good thing is he agreed to take us to Impeldown, so don't worry about them eating us," Luffy said to calm the more frightened members.
"Can he hear us?" The Sea Kings were surprised by this.
"This happened almost 20 years ago..." Another spoke calmly.
"In any case... Let's obey our ruler." The Sea King said, and they all began to approach the ship, biting the tiny chains with their immense mouths that could fit hundreds of such ships.
As soon as they grabbed the chains, without saying much, they started swimming in the direction Shirahoshi requested.
"Now it won't take long," Luffy said with satisfaction, as the crew looked on in admiration while the Black Pearl was surrounded by immense creatures and began to disappear into the darkness of the sea.
Meanwhile, kilometers above the sea, the golden ship began to round the Red Line at a much higher altitude, passing it unnoticed behind the clouds.
"Woof!" Chouchou was playing on the deck, trying to bite the clouds.
"The mutt is just wasting time..." Enel mocked, sitting in his chair in the middle of the deck.
"Grrr!" Chouchou growled at Enel while Hugo crossed his arms, looking down.
"Somewhere over there is Mary Geoise..." he said, trying to locate the sacred city, but the view was limited during the day with all those clouds.
"We could pass by and destroy the city where the false gods reside," Enel suddenly suggested.
"As much as I'd love to do that and want to find that Tenryuubito who killed my family, it's not the time yet," Hugo spoke, though with a tone of frustration.
"Tsk. You overestimate the mortals," Enel said arrogantly.
"And you underestimate them. Do you think we have any chance of facing the power of that city? Don't forget that in that place, they control the entire world," Hugo spoke as if Enel were an idiot.
"..." Enel didn't respond.
"Anyway, let's catch some fish. Soon, we'll meet those people before finding the captain and the others," Hugo commented.
The ship continued, with Enel still seated, Chouchou trying to bite the clouds, and Hugo continuing to look off the side of the deck, until they finally passed the Red Line and began to descend, entering the most dangerous sea in the world.
"The captain gave us this Eternal Pose, so head in this direction," Hugo said, tossing the compass ball with the direction while Enel caught it easily and followed the indicated path.
They continued at a high altitude, with no one below them able to guess a ship was sailing among the clouds.
It was at night that they spotted a large glow coming from the sea in that direction. This was the Treasure Ship, the user of the Gold Gold Fruit. "We shouldn't get too close... The captain said if he senses our ship, it could bring us trouble," Hugo warned.
"..." Enel didn't respond as he stopped the ship some distance in the air. "What do we do now...?" he asked.
"We'll wait. According to Luffy, a ship with those bastards will be leaving the place, escorted directly to Mary Geoise," Hugo said, knowing from their captain that they would be returning to the sacred city to witness the war.
The ship continued floating for the rest of the night as they rested. It was in the morning that a group of ships left that place—a ship surrounded by six Marine and World Government ships. Hugo stood up, looking at them with interest.
"They are our targets then..." Enel sensed with his Observation Haki.
"Yes..." Hugo looked at the decorated ship, reminiscent of the one they encountered at the end of East Blue, symbolizing wealth and power, as that group liked to flaunt their status.
"We will follow them from afar and attack as soon as they are in the middle of the ocean..." Hugo said as Chouchou woke up, ready to fight as well.
Enel's ship continued following them, while all the ships were heading to Mary Geoise, unaware that they were being watched.
"I will act. It's time for them to know the power of a true God!" Enel said as Hugo and Chouchou rolled their eyes.
Enel then shot down from his ship, running in the air as a lightning bolt.
"What is that? A thunderbolt?!" The government members around the main ship were surprised, hearing thunder descending from the sky, while a member in white with a mask on the main ship frowned. He was from CP0, in charge of that ship's security.
"Call for reinforcements, we are under attack!" he immediately shouted when he sensed the power of that lightning bolt and who was in it. Enel of the Straw Hat Pirates, known for killing and beating Tenryuubitos.
However, from the lightning, an almost invisible static explosion occurred, while the agents grabbed the Den Den Mushi, they started to fall limply. "The Den Den Mushi are not working!!!" the man shouted as everyone grew scared.
"What is happening!" An arrogant voice demanded from the deck, asking what was going on in his astronaut-like suit.
"This is bad..." The CP0 agent saw the situation getting worse.
As Enel descended with lightning, Hugo and Chouchou followed behind, though they couldn't match the speed of the Logia user.
The battle had just begun in that area with the static field, while the world was preparing to watch the battle, Marineford was in full swing preparing for the fight.
"How is he?" Sengoku asked an officer.
"He is still in a bad mood, but he is adapting," he replied.
"I had a conversation with him, so he will help in this war with a chance for revenge," Sengoku said. "How are the others?" he continued to question.
"Dracule Mihawk is coming... Bartholomew Kuma is finishing his surgery with Vegapunk. Hancock is being escorted by Momonga here, Jinbei is being sent to Impel Down... those already here are Donquixote Doflamingo, Gecko Moria, and Marshall D. Teach...." The officer informed the status of each of the Shichibukai.
"I see... Unfortunately, we had some issues with Jinbei since he refused to participate in this war, so we sent him to Impel Down..." Sengoku murmured, he had been sending many people to Impel Down lately.
"You may go." He dismissed the officers as they left the room, his gaze returning to the port, where dozens of ships were approaching every moment, and others were leaving Marineford, carrying the families of the marines.
He looked for a while when the Den Den Mushi began to ring at that moment. It was none other than the Five Elders. "Let's see what reinforcements you will give us for this war..." Sengoku commented as he approached, it was time to have this kind of conversation with the Gorosei.

[Chapter Size: 2000 Words.]
Third Person POV
Marineford, First Half of Grandline.
...
...
"Sengoku." The voice of one of the elders was immediately heard as he opened the Den Den Mushi.
"Elders..." Sengoku murmured.
"How are things going? We want reports," they asked impatiently.
"We are organizing the entire base. Our estimate is that we will have at least 100,000 elite Marine soldiers coming from all parts of the world. We will have the majority of the Shichibukai and the entire Marine force along with a batch of Pacifistas that you have provided us," Sengoku said.
"Great. How are you handling the New World?" they asked.
"We have stationed large forces in that sea. We know how agitated they will be and how the other Yonkou will be making moves... We have also left 20 ships at the entrance of the Red Line," he said.
"Yes, it seems that Shanks and Kaido are moving, Big Mom is also moving, sending some of her ships," the elders said.
"Yes, we have many vice-admirals in the New World to control the situation, like Vergo, Gion, and others," Sengoku reported.
"Great. We will send Kong and a batch of a special force. We cannot send more because that pirate launched an attack on Mary Geoise," they said.
"Yes, a newspaper came out yesterday that he went to the New World and that he really left Sabaody..." Sengoku said, looking out the window.
"That's just a ruse. That boy is doing this to try to confuse us, but he won't let his brother die, not after sending a meteor at us, threatening to do it again if we attack any island of his crew," they reasoned.
"Yes, we will wait for him anyway. I expect your reinforcements," Sengoku said.
"In any case, we know that he is stronger than the admirals, so use everything you can to destroy him. And even if you can't... after all, he may very well escape the battlefield with his abilities to move at the last moment, I want you to eliminate at all costs two members of his group, Usopp and Bepo. One of them has Shiki's ability," the elders issued this order as important as eliminating Whitebeard and Ace.
"Yes," Sengoku agreed. He already had photos of the two on his desk as a priority in this war.
"Great. We will speak until the war," the elders said while Sengoku sighed and returned once again to the window, as this was his only therapy amidst so much pressure on his shoulders.
The port of Marineford was bustling with activity. Hundreds of Marine soldiers moved in sync throughout the day, preparing for the imminent battle. Powerful warships, with their reinforced hulls and iconic white sails, began docking at the port. The atmosphere was charged with tension and determination among all the soldiers disembarking.
One specific ship arriving at that moment was a batch that had been training for the past few months on one of the Marine training program islands. On its prow as it docked at Marineford, Smoker stood there, looking intently at the HQ. "It seems we have finally arrived..." He returned to the deck as the sailors on board lined up in perfect formation.
"Commodore Smoker!" They saluted, as Smoker had gained a new rank, moving from captain to commodore, learning the six styles and Haki.
By his side, Tashigi approached and stood next to him, with a serious face while she kept a high-grade sword at her waist. Both had undergone intense training and were ready to contribute with their new strength in this war.
"I heard rumors that Monkey D. Luffy will appear," Tashigi commented, despite seeing newspapers saying he left for the New World yesterday. But there were still rumors, even though almost no one knew that Luffy was Ace's childhood brother, rumors began to circulate as the command prepared to deal with the Straw Hat Pirates in this war as well.
"In Alabasta, they were very close. I feel he will come," Smoker said. He had always suffered defeats from Luffy and his crew since the East Blue, hoping to handle it better, although with Luffy being stronger than an admiral, he didn't have much confidence that he could defeat them, although he would contribute to the Marine's victory both against Whitebeard and the Straw Hats.
"Everyone, prepare to disembark!" Smoker ordered in his hoarse voice after speaking with Tashigi. The sailors nodded in unison, their expressions resolute, as they adjusted their equipment and prepared to disembark. The sound of boots hitting the deck echoed through the air, mixed with the sound of waves breaking against the hull and the walls of the HQ.
Right behind, another immense ship was approaching. Vice-Admiral Momonga was on the prow, observing with keen eyes. Inside the cabin, Boa Hancock was alone, isolating herself from everyone, resting while gently stroking her belly.
"Let's disembark!" Momonga gave the order as the sailors, no longer petrified, began to position the ship behind the one Smoker had docked.
"Miss Hancock! We've arrived!" A sailor knocked on Hancock's door, hearts in his eyes.
"Tsk." Hancock appeared, and the man flew after being kicked with the door. Hancock walked out without speaking to anyone else as she headed toward Marineford.
"I want to know where my room is." She stopped to speak with Momonga as he nodded.
"I'll ask someone to take you," she said, ignoring his arrogant and hostile tone. His only job was to bring this woman here, and he succeeded after she agreed to the Marine and government's request. She then followed to the place where she would stay until the war.
As more ships docked, the soldiers continued to disembark. They all had faces of fear and determination. Some whispered prayers, others sharpened their swords, but all shared the same mission: to defend Marineford at all costs.
Amid the organized chaos, atop the main building, the Marine Admirals Aokiji, Akainu, and Kizaru observed from above, despite the latter still using band-aids from his last fight with Luffy.
"The time has come... the Marines will not fail..." Akainu spoke with a determined tone.
"Well, well, this fight will be difficult..." Aokiji commented, looking at the Marines, thinking about how many of them would die in this war.
"..." Kizaru remained silent; he didn't even have the humor to make his usual comments.
"No matter what we do, even if we need to sacrifice everyone here, we will destroy those two entire groups!" Akainu growled.
"There will be no justice if it's destroyed along with it..." Kuzan said to his colleague.
"You are weak, Kuzan!" Akainu growled at him. "Destroying that group will send a message to the whole world that this era will end!" Akainu did not sympathize with Sengoku's ideas, which were similar to Kuzan's, but he couldn't deny that the current Fleet Admiral's idea of destroying this era by killing the world's strongest pirate was quite intelligent, and he strongly agreed with it.
"I hope you are right..." Kuzan said, ignoring the offense Akainu gave him.
"..." Kizaru said nothing during this time.
"Of course, this battle will define the future of the world!" Akainu spoke with his cigar burning.
Back at the port, the final preparations were being made. Barricades were erected, cannons positioned, and Den Den Mushi communications adjusted to ensure that no orders would be lost in the heat of the battle to come in the next few days.
Maintenance teams were inspecting all the base's cannons; the base had the shape of a crescent moon with cabins with cannons that could have the power of about three Buster Calls, intended to destroy any threat that approached the location, while new marines learned to handle the fire machines.
The preparation for war continued throughout the rest of the day, as all the ships with civilians finally left the island. Their families stayed in the square to fight, hoping to reunite with them later, but deep down, they knew there was a great chance they would not survive the conflict.
Everything seemed fine until nightfall when news first reached Mary Geoise.
"What do you mean a ship with Tenryuubitos disappeared?!" the elders exclaimed when they heard the news coming directly from the leader of the Holy Knights, kneeling before them.
"We lost communication with the ships yesterday. There was a large escort bringing them from Gran Tesoro... five ships with Cypher Pol agents and a CP0 agent to reinforce their security... They disappeared, and we investigated for the rest of the day. They really left Gran Tesoro, and it seems they were ambushed in the middle of the sea by someone who managed to cut all the ship's communications, and worse... the Vivre Cards of the Tenryuubitos are not moving!" he explained while all the elders looked at each other, trying to understand the situation.
"Even the Vivre Cards can't find them!" The elder seemed alarmed by this.
"Who would do this, Whitebeard or Monkey D. Luffy?!" one of them growled.
"Whitebeard has never messed with the Tenryuubito, I don't believe it's him..." another one said.
"So he really went to the New World..." another commented.
"Don't be hasty, they have the user of the Fuwa Fuwa no Mi... Crossing the Red Line is easy..." another reasoned.
"Then why the coating... what's happening... what is that bastard planning..." They were getting more and more confused by Luffy's actions, which didn't seem to make much sense.
"Search the entire beginning of the New World! Understood!" They gave the order to the Holy Knight, who quickly nodded and disappeared to organize the search party. There were seven Tenryuubito on those ships.
They had issued an order after the attack in Sabaody to send them immediately to Mary Geoise. However, they didn't expect that they would actually be attacked like this. The worst part is that they don't even know who really did it or where they are. They are only using the Vivre Cards to see if they are alive.
In the New World, a group of Marine ships was near the Red Line, staying still in place, waiting for anyone who approached.
"Do you think he will show up..." said a marine to his colleague.
"All indications say yes..." he replied.
"Damn... do we stand a chance...?" He swallowed hard.
"It doesn't matter, we'll do our part and sacrifice for the Marines!" He said with determination as he looked at the New World sea, which was experiencing a storm at that moment.
A lightning bolt hit the sea, and in the darkness of the night, an enormous ship appeared with the flash, displaying the most dangerous flag in the world.
The marine, who until that moment was giving a speech about sacrifice, seemed to lose all composure as he had a terrified face, sweating and pointing in that direction while trembling.
"It's the Moby Dick!!" he growled, alerting the whole ship while the others were already becoming aware of the situation.
Whitebeard was getting rained on at that moment, looking ahead on his deck.
"Pops! What will we do with the Marines?" one of the division commanders asked, his voice slightly muffled by the rain and thunder.
"Isn't it obvious? Gurararararara. The Marines came to greet us here, so let's greet them back." He announced, and before anyone could react, Newgate jumped from the deck, landing on the prow of his ship.
"Let's see how you handle this..." he said with a smile as all the marines felt a bad premonition and didn't even have time to communicate their situation to their superiors since it was too late. Whitebeard tilted his arm back with his fist clenched and launched it forward.
Hitting the space and cracking it with the sound of breaking glass, the power of the Gura Gura no Mi, which could destroy the world, was finally unleashed against his enemies at that moment.
