Animeverse Slayer!

Luffy kept running.

Many memories flashed through his mind.

For a moment he fell in confusion, but his eyes restored clarity in an instant.

"Grandpa! Move out of my way!"

Vapour started to pour out of his body. He stretched his fist far behind him and punched at Garp with incredible strength.

Garp also raised his fist. However he found it difficult to bring it down. His eyes contained innumerable thoughts before he closed them.

Sengoku narrowed his eyes.

Garp!

Luffy's fist connected.

Garp was punched and throw from the bridge down to the plaza.

Luffy closed his eyes for a moment and opened them.

"Ace!"

Sengoku shook his head and said, "You're their parent after all, Garp."

Luffy jumped through the crumbling bridge and landed on the scaffold.

"Ace!"

Luffy showed an innocent smile and tried to unlock Ace's handcuffs.

Suddenly golden light shined upon the scaffold.

Sengoku was glowing with a golden light. His body was starting to swell up as his skin turned gold.

"Look, the Fleet Admiral is using his ability."

"I've never seen it before."

The marines and the pirates looked at the scaffold.

Sengoku was now several feet big. He was like a golden buddha.

"You can't get away from me!"

Luffy ignored Sengoku and trying to put the key inside to unlock the cuffs.

"You even have such a thing, Strawhat Luffy."

Kisaru watching from down below raised his finger and fired a laser.

The key was struck and snapped in half.

"What...

Luffy was stunned.

As he was wondering what to do one of the executioners woke up.

"What happened? I passed out all of a sudden."

The man grumbled. However the first sight he saw after waking up was Luffy.

"San! Why are you here?!"

The man code named San was about to react when he saw the giant golden buddha behind Luffy.

His soul almost flew out his body when he saw the giant buddha punching in his direction.

"Oi, San, protect Ace with a wall!"

Luffy bit his thumb when he saw Sengoku attack.

Gum-Gum no Giant Balloon!

Sengoku's fist slammed into Luffy who blew up like a balloon.

Sengoku was shocked for a moment. However the strength behind that strike was so strong that Luffy coughed out blood and lost his balloon form.

The scaffold they were standing on couldn't hold on and broke in two.

All four of them were free falling.

San said, "I will make the key! Uncuff him right away!"

Luffy was stunned and immediately nodded.

"Oh, no!"

Suddenly a rain of canon fire hit them.

Boom!

An huge explosion took place.

"Strawhat!"

"Ace...

Smoke and fire filled the scaffold area.

"Fire Fist was wearing kairoseki cuffs, he shouldn't be able to dodge that."

As the marines were confidently speaking to themselves the smoke was burst open.

A tunnel was formed inside.

"You always do reckless things, Luffy."

Ace surrounded by flames rushed out of the smoke with Luffy and San.

"Stay alert, Luffy! Let's split up for now!"

Oh!

Flame Commandment!

Ace bathed in flames crashed into plaza.

The marines couldn't stop their decent and was blown away.

"Let's hurry, Luffy! We gotta get out of this place!"

"Alright!"

The Whitebeard Pirates cheered and confronted the marines to make a way for Ace and Luffy.

Suddenly the last remaining ship of the Whitebeard Pirates rushed through the battlefield.

"The ship's running on ground!"

Squard and his crew were on top of the ship.

"What are you doing, Squard?!"

Squard was looking through the marines at Whitebeard's figure.

"I can't let things end this way. What I am about to do won't make amendments but I must do it!"

He said to himself.

Whitebeard who was besieged by the marines looked at Squard, his eyes turned into one of rage.

Boom!

He stood before the ship and stopped it with one hand.

Raising his head Whitebeard roared, "Do you understand how ungrateful it is for a child to die before his parents, Squard?!"

Whitebeard didn't wait for a reply and said, "Children make mistakes, you made one, that's all Squard."

Pop's...

Squard hung his head down.

Whitebeard took back his hand and faced the marines and roared, "We accomplished our goal here!"

"Listen here, you brats!"

"This is my last order as your Captain!"

"All of you and I will split up from here!"

"Everyone, survive at any cost and go back to New World safely!"

The Whitebeard Pirates were stunned.

"No way, you are joking, right? old buddy?!"

"P-Pop's, are you planning to die here?!"

"I refuse to obey!"

Voice of discontent rang among the pirates.

Whitebeard raised his fist and said, "I'm a remnant from the old era. There is no ship that can bear me in the new one!"

His arms were starting to tremble. Incredible amount of strength was being focused on his fist.

The air was cracking and it spread like a spider web.

"Go, you fools!!"

Bang!!

The cracks shattered like glass.

The walls of the fortress, and the plaza was broken and split in half!

"Pop's...

"No...

Whitebeard looked lonely as he stood before the marines.

He glanced back, "Don't look back! The era is changing."

His eyes contained vast emotions as he said, "I've been traveling for a long time."

Suddenly his eyes turned sharp and a cold smile climbed on his face, "Let's get it over with, Navy!"

Whitebeard's momentum increased. The shockwave he set off before started to take effect.

The whole island was starting to rumble.

"He is gonna sink the island!"

"Kill Whitebeard!"

The marines started to attack with abandon. It's either they die or Whitebeard does.

"Pop's!"

"Hurry, let's get out of here!"

"How dare you?! You don't mind leaving Pop's behind?!"

Some of the pirates were holding down their companions from rushing to Whitebeard. All of them were crying as they were being held down.

"Shut up and move! Don't step on Pop's determination!"

One of the commanders yelled with misty eyes.

With the commanders pushing them along the Whitebeard Pirates started to retreat.

Whitebeard laughed wildly and clenched his fist before punching towards marineford.

Leo hadn't moved since the battle started. He didn't know what to do.

If he chose to help the marines then a great man and his crew will die.

If he chose to help Whitebeard then the symbol of justice will fall.

Sengoku obviously knew what was going on with Leo and didn't ask him of anything. It was fine as long as Leo didn't do anything that would tarnish the reputation of the marines.

Finally after seeing Ace free Leo stared at Whitebeard and came to a decision.

He took a step forward and instantly appeared before Whitebeard.

A terrible blast wave was sweeping through the marines and crashing towards marineford.

"Merciful Rain!!"

A bright blue sword ray swept through the ground and clashed against Whitebeard's attack.
