[Chapter Size: 2400 Words.]
Third Person POV
Impeldown, First Half of Grandline.
...
...
Above the ship, Luffy reappeared with his sword generating red lightning using Ace's akuma no mi. He moved his sword quickly, creating a cut with lightning and flames, resulting in a huge slash over 10 meters long, tearing through the water and heading at high speed towards the gate.
Yamato appeared next to Luffy, concentrating her power into her Kanabo, which began to generate lightning. She swung her weapon, creating a white energy that became a serpent, swiftly advancing over the water alongside Luffy's attack.
Zoro also appeared, unsheathing one of his swords, which began to emit a dark red glow. He moved, launching a slash like Luffy, cutting through the sea.
The same could be said for Kuina, generating a cold, white slash. Usopp aimed his rifle and fired a white beam of light. Nami immediately created a windstorm, and the same could be said for Vivi. Robin crossed her arms, and numerous hands sprouted from the ship, making a gun signal before launching hundreds of shigans. Shirahoshi flew up and pointed her trident, generating a water drill.
Hachi grabbed his swords and launched slashes, Lami also launched a slash, Reiju kicked out fire blasts, Chouchou unleashed various elements after transforming into Cerberus, Hugo launched a punch that turned into a flying stone hand towards the gate, and Enel struck his drums, releasing lightning like a laser. Baby-5 transformed her arms into weapons and fired multiple shots and missiles.
Finally, Buggy seemed to join the attacks, jumping as high as he could to imitate the Straw Hats. He managed to reach 2 meters from the ship's deck, grabbed a knife, and aimed his arm, launching it directly at the gate like the others, with his arm holding the knife flying behind the other attacks.
Nojiko, Alvida, and Chopper didn't have such powerful long-range attacks and just watched the rain of attacks advancing, as the very sea was dug out by the passing attacks.
Lucy, Jinbei, Crocodile, Mr.1, and Ivankov with the Okamas could only watch as that group of light advanced until it exploded at the gate, creating such a large explosion that the water turned into steam, spreading in all directions, even reaching the ship.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!
The explosion was so loud that even the surviving marines in Impel Down heard it while semi-conscious.
"Ahhhh!!!" Buggy screamed as his hand entered the attacks. "It's burning!" he exclaimed as his hand returned, charred, while he blew on it to ease the pain.
The smoke still covered the entire area, and Luffy looked at Vivi, "Clear this." He requested, and she nodded before raising both hands and creating a wind that cleared the area, revealing where the gate should be. However, part of the side was still intact, attached to the sea, but the lateral part was red from the burns of the attack.
"That was quite useful, the path is now clear..." Luffy commented, landing on the ship along with the others.
"Incredible!!" Lucy exclaimed. "Wait, you destroyed the Gate of Justice!" she complained immediately after realizing what they had done.
"We can't fight against them..." Mr.1 commented next to Crocodile, who just frowned and nodded. How could he fight someone much stronger than he had seen in Alabasta? Now there was a huge group that possessed the Haki of the Conqueror.
The marine ship soon passed through the gate and entered the currents leading straight to Marineford. "So, we are finally heading to war." Zoro commented with satisfaction. The rest of the group nodded and just watched the ship sailing through the sea in a specific direction.
In contrast to the rather excited group, except for Buggy who still seemed scared but had no choice, in Impel Down, specifically in the lowest part, the prisoners of the sixth level had returned to silence, not knowing what had happened to the prison. However, not seeing any guards coming meant they stood no chance against that group infested with the Haki of the Conqueror.
That changed as shadows began to appear, and a new group emerged, surprising everyone there.
"Ziahahahaha! Finally, we are here!" Teach exclaimed excitedly, no longer having any poison in his body at this moment, as did his companions who followed him.
"Who is this...?" Someone asked, not recognizing the group.
"Another group invading the prison or prisoners from other levels?"
"You see, they are not wearing prison clothes, so it must be another group."
"Hey, you! Get me out of here! I will follow you!"
"Come on, help me escape and I will be your subordinate!"
"I don't care if I follow him as long as I can see the light of day again!"
The prisoners immediately began shouting, pleading for freedom.
"Ziahahahaha! You want freedom? Very well, I will release everyone, and I want you to fight each other. Those who survive in the end will join my crew!" Teach exclaimed as everyone was surprised. Then the cuffs of all the prisoners began to be removed, and all the cells opened. A bloodbath would begin on that floor in the next moment.
In Marineford, Sengoku finally began to hear about what had happened in Impel Down alongside Ace and Garp via communication.
"Those bastards... now there's nothing to do, and they probably did something to the Gate of Justice..." Sengoku commented, a little frustrated.
"Luffy...?" Ace murmured, surprised to hear Luffy's name on the communicator, with the marines on the other side mentioning that he had escaped from Impel Down on a marine ship.
"Your brother is a reckless criminal..." Garp said to Ace.
"Tsk..." Ace gritted his teeth at that.
"He went to get Lucy out of prison. We were lucky he didn't attack while you were there; otherwise, it would have been even more chaotic..." Garp commented.
"Don't worry, he is coming here, and he will be eliminated too," Sengoku remarked.
"Luffy... Old man, don't let Luffy die here...!" Ace suddenly exclaimed to Garp.
"..." Garp remained silent and didn't respond to that. However, he seemed to have some sort of internal conflict.
"I don't pity criminals... but family is different..." He began, with Ace looking surprised at him.
"Why, Ace..." He started. "Why did you and Luffy have to enter this life?" Tears began to stream down his face, falling like a river.
"Ace, you bastard... Why didn't you follow the life I told you to follow!" Garp cried next to Ace, while Ace gritted his teeth, looking equally frustrated with the reaction.
"Old man..." Ace murmured, gritting his teeth.
"Garp... I hope you don't switch sides now..." Sengoku commented beside him in a dangerous tone, and despite Garp's tears, he maintained a firm look.
"I will choose justice, don't worry about that..." Garp commented and remained silent after that, waiting for Sengoku to continue.
The marine ship with Luffy continued sailing towards Marineford in the meantime. The prisoners began to wake up, especially after hearing the explosion at the gate, while they looked confused at the new group, questioning Buggy, their leader.
"They are our allies!" Buggy said, sweating with his bandaged hand while everyone looked at him. He didn't want to offend this group that could kill him in a few moves.
"Incredible... Boss Buggy can even make an alliance with a group worth billions..." Someone who knew the Straw Hats commented.
"The Shichibukai, a commander of the Revolutionary Army, and even Straw Hat..."
"Boss Buggy is so amazing!!"
"Hooray for Boss Buggy!!"
"I will follow him for the rest of my life, no, and in the afterlife too!"
People began to cheer excitedly for Buggy, while he didn't understand for a moment, until he realized what was happening and simply accepted all those comments with a big smile.
"That's right! The great Buggy can make alliances with anyone..." He said and looked at the group behind him, with Luffy crossing his arms at him, with his crew behind him.
"..." Luffy remained silent, looking at Buggy.
"Isn't that right?" Buggy murmured, with a snot running from his nose, and his gaze was terrified, thinking Luffy might be offended by such a thing, but Luffy remained silent, saying nothing because it wasn't worth it. However, Chouchou still had some desire to kill Buggy.
Meanwhile, the people continued celebrating until a sound from a Den Den Mushi came from the mast, making everyone fall silent, looking towards the sound.
"It looks like communication is back, let's see what the marines want..." Luffy said, moving towards the mast, opening the compartment of the snail and answering it while everyone watched him.
"Hello," he said.
"You are Monkey D. Luffy, aren't you?" The voice on the other side immediately spoke, and Luffy nodded.
"You are good." He praised, being recognized just by his voice.
"Well, we know this marine ship was taken, and I know you are coming to Marineford... So, I am announcing something very important..." He began. "First, we consider only two people important in this escape... you, and the other being Buggy." He said, and many on the ship looked surprised at Buggy.
"Incredible! Boss Buggy is considered one of the main members of the escape!" One of the prisoners exclaimed.
"He is even above the Shichibukai and the rest of the Straw Hat crew!"
"Boss Buggy has no limit to his reputation!"
"Me...?" Buggy pointed to himself, surprised by this, as he didn't expect this coming from the marines.
"Second, especially about the second name, Buggy... You went unnoticed by us because you were a low-bounty pirate from the East Blue, but now seeing your history... we were fools not to notice this..." He began while everyone remained silent.
"Buggy not only has a powerful past, but our intelligence discovered that you fought against Monkey D. Luffy in a battle of equals on a small island in that sea, in Orange Town... which led to the city's destruction." He started while another murmur of shock arose in the crowd.
"Wait... it wasn't quite like that..." Nami crossed her arms, finding that a bit too much, after all, Luffy practically played with Buggy.
"It seems that marine intelligence is not that effective..." Luffy commented from the side.
"Incredible!! Boss Buggy fought the Straw Hat head-on!"
"As expected of Boss Buggy!"
"I guess I did that..." Buggy scratched his chin at that.
"But your past impresses us more. First, you were on Gold Roger's ship, being a recruit alongside Akagami no Shanks, who is considered your crew brother." The marine's voice came through, causing even greater chaos among those who didn't know this.
"What, he was on the Pirate King's ship!?" Lucy exclaimed, and even some members of Luffy's crew looked surprised at this, along with the Shichibukai and Ivankov with his gang of Okamas.
"What a pain. You've said too much, goodbye." Luffy tired of it and closed the Den Den Mushi again.
The chaos continued for a while as the marine ship sailed until a shadow appeared above them after some time, and Luffy smiled as Bepo finally arrived with the Sunny Go.
The ship landed beside them after arriving flying, while everyone was surprised at that, after all, it's not every day someone makes a ship fly.
"Finally, we are reunited... It's time to start the plan." Luffy announced as Bepo joined them and Luffy shrunk the ship that Franky created.
"First..." He said to everyone, with the whole ship looking at him. "We will go on our own ships. Now that we are in these waters past the gate, we cannot miss Marineford." He said while taking out Black Pearl and Enel's ark, making them enlarge beside the marine ship.
"We will transfer our prisoners that Enel, Hugo, and Chouchou captured and place them on Black Pearl. After that, we will only follow in our official ship. Lucy will stay with me, but I want Jinbei to guide the marine ship behind ours, and I know Crocodile with his partner and Ivankov with the Okamas will control the situation on this ship." Luffy said, not wanting to waste a group of prisoners to fight the marines in the war. They were still useful, so leaving these people on the marine ship was the best choice.
"Wait... we are still going to war, you already have a ship!" Buggy immediately complained, not wanting to participate in this.
"But Buggy... what about your plan?" Luffy suddenly asked, pretending to be confused.
"Plan?" Buggy looked equally confused, as his only plan was to escape from there, and he couldn't do that with so many powerful people to stop him.
"Luffy didn't look at Buggy anymore, but at all the prisoners from the first, second, and fourth levels. "Listen up everyone, Buggy told me he would go to war to conquer the title of the strongest man in the world. He plans to face Whitebeard to show his power to his loyal followers!" Luffy exclaimed, while the prisoners began to have stars in their eyes.
"Is that true, Boss Buggy?!"
"You're the brother of Yonko Shanks, as expected from someone of your level!"
"I will be there to witness Boss Buggy become the strongest man in the world!"
"Hail Buggy!!"
"I..." Buggy was cornered after Luffy put him in this situation, and he just smiled, trying to fake confidence, but it didn't look very convincing, only deceiving his followers.
"You did this on purpose..." Nami commented.
"Are they really useful, Luffy?" Nojiko asked, after all, they seemed like they would just be cannon fodder in the front lines of a war.
"They are more useful than you can imagine..." Luffy said, after all, in the original, they did so many impossible things for their level and even hijacked the broadcast, letting the war unfold to the world uncut. Luffy didn't want to worry about that and wanted to leave those things to them.
While Luffy boarded the Black Pearl again with his crew and Lucy, taking Enel's prisoners and starting to place them on the ship's mast, Jinbei continued guiding the ship on the path, and the others made it clear to Buggy that he would participate in the war. Meanwhile, Buggy could only stay there, listening to his new subordinates talking about impossible things for him to do, sweating in fear of those other guys on the ship.
Meanwhile, Luffy made Enel's ark disappear again and looked satisfied as everyone prepared for the war, heading towards the horizon. "The war should start soon..." Luffy commented calmly, and the black ship of the Straw Hats along with the marine ship disappeared on the horizon in the middle of the day.
