Chapter 198: Entrance
The battle has already started. The bay was entirely frozen by Aokiji, creating an icy battlefield. The vice admirals have Marine Headquarters jump down and line up, all holding swords.
"What's up with his body?! He took Kizaru-san's attack head-on but he's still standing! Could the rumors of his devil fruit be true?!" A Marine shouted while looking at the person who blocked a shower of light bullets from Kizaru.
"The Whitebeard Pirates sure are scary~ Mythical Zoan, the most powerful and even more scarier than Logia." Kizaru who is floating in midair commented with a voice that sounded like he just smoked twenty blunts of weed.
"Oh look, I'm hurt." The person with the Mythical Zoan, Marco the Phoenix commented with a smile on his face while having a few holes on his body and even one on his face.
Marco is the 1st division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates. He is a tall, lean, muscular, blond-haired man with a rather sleepy look on his face and some stubble around his chin. His head looked like a pineapple.
He wears an open purple jacket and a light blue sash adorned with an elaborate golden-yellow belt around his waist. He has dark gray knee-long pants and black sandals, and on his left leg he wears what appears to be some sort of straw decoration, in a similar fashion to Arlong.
While his chest was bare in his initial appearance, in his subsequent appearances he has the cross and crescent moon mustache symbol that resembles a black silhouette of Whitebeard's Jolly Roger tattooed on it.
Marco ate the Tori Tori no Mi, Model: Phoenix, which bestowed him the power to transform into a phoenix (and phoenix hybrid) at will.
"You're lying man. You can recover from any attack with those flames of yours. " Kizaru replied to the first division commander. Marco flew towards Kizaru in his phoenix form while dodging a barrage of light bullets from the Admiral.
He then went up close before entering his hybrid form and using his leg to kick Kizaru who blocked it with his elbow. That kick sent him crashing into the ground.
Kizaru was unharmed. He yawned before looking at the line giants standing behind the human sized Marines. "Giant Squad! Expect attacks from the sky too!" He warned them.
"YESSIR!!!" The row of giants, men and women alike answered, heading towards the Whitebeard Pirates.
"The big boys are coming! Stand back you guys!!" The pirates of Whitebeard shouted while preparing themselves for the 'big boys'.
"Is that Jozu?!" One pirate shouted while pointing at 'Diamond' Jozu, the 3rd division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Jozu is a big, very muscular, broad-chested, heavily-armored and dark-skinned man. Even when standing in a hunched position, he is roughly twice Crocodile's height.
Jozu ate the Kira Kira no Mi, a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit that allows him to transform any part of his body into diamond.
While transformed, both Jozu's physical attack power and defensive might are significantly bolstered by his diamond body's unparalleled toughness (diamond being among the world's hardest substances, alongside Seastone).
"Haaaa!!!!!" Jozu yelled as he lifted up a gigantic piece of an iceberg that was big enough to easily cover the Giant Squad of the Marines. He then hurled it towards them with no difficulties at all.
"TRY AND STOP THIS!!!" Jozu shouted.
"All of you are out there, yet you still couldn't protect this place. Incompetent." Sakazuki, also known by his admiral alias Akainu muttered before standing up from his seat while his arm turns into what appears to be black smoke.
As the iceberg approached him, Akainu stepped forward before raising his smoking right hand which actually transformed into pure magma.
Akainu ate the Magu Magu no Mi, a Logia-type Devil Fruit that allows him to create, control, and transform his body into magma.
"Dai Funka!!!" He shouted before throwing his expanded magma fist towards the giant iceberg, evaporating it while also sending magma projectiles towards the Whitebeard Pirates.
It was like watching the apocalypse. One of Whitebeard's ship sunk. A flaming rock was caught on Whitebeard's naginata.
"You think you look cool with your fire huh? Why don't you go light a birthday cake instead, Magma brat? " Whitebeard taunted while grinning broadly at Aokiji.
Whitebeard was an abnormally large man, with a height of 666 cm (21'10"). Unlike other large-sized humans, however, he was well-proportioned.
He had a long face, ploughed because of the advanced age with many wrinkles around his eyes, and many scars running along his chest, and was very muscular. He had yellow eyes.
And like all of his men, he had his own Jolly Roger tattooed on his back. He wore a black bandanna around his head and adorned himself with a white captain's coat, which hung loosely from his broad shoulders and bore his Jolly Roger symbol.
He was always seen bare-chested, and wore light, loose pants tucked inside his large black boots, and a dark pirate sash around his waist.
Whitebeard looked at the flaming rock caught on his weapon, one of the 12 Supreme Grade swords Murakumogiri. He took in a deep breath before blowing at the flaming rock, putting it out easily.
He grinned as he heard loud stomping in the background, he head his men cheering loudly at the newcomer.
"Go get em!! Little Oars Jr!!! Break their battle formation!!" He heard one of his men shout loudly. The Marines looked on with fear in their eyes while the Vice Admirals and Admirals were calm.
"So he's the descendant of Oars the Continent-Puller. He's huge, bigger than any giant. " One of the Vice Admirals muttered.
" ACE-CHAN'S A NICE GIRL!! I WON'T LET YA KILL HER!!!" Oars Jr shouted angrily before roaring loudly.
"Things just got interesting. Hehehehahahaha!!" One of the Warlords, Donquixote Doflamingo, the Heavenly Demon laughed crazily while having his tongue protruded.
Ace, who was tied down with Seastone cuffs on her hands and legs was watching Oars Jr with horror in her eyes.
"Stop Oars!! With your size you'd just be target practice for them!!!"
"ACE-CHAN!!! I'LL BE THERE IN A JIFFY!!!" Oars Jr shouted back determinedly. He picked up a Marine warship by the mast and before slamming it onto the ground by using it like a hammer, creating a hole in the Marine defense.
"Invade the bay!!!" The pirates started charging the Marines, killing them left and right.
"This is bad!! Fall back! Stop them from reaching the execution platform at all costs!!" One Marine shouted.
" Vice Admiral LaCroix!!" One Marine shouted as LaCroix one of the Giants from the Giant Squad was slain by Oars wielding a blade.
"Damn that Oars, he's hopeless! Seeking deat and being a hero ain't the same thing!!" Whitebeard shouted at Oars.
"DON'T STOP ME POPS!!! I WANT TO SAVE HER!! I WANT TO SAVE ACE-CHAN AS FAST AS POSSIBLE!!!!" Oars shouted while continuing his rampage.
" Alright I got ya! Do a little cleaning up around him, all of you!! We're backing Oars up!!!" Whitebeard shouted at his men.
"GOT IT POPS!!!"
A couple of pirates fired cannonballs at Hancock's way. She noticed it from the corner of her eyes before using her Devil Fruit abilities. She kissed out a heart shaped balloon before pulling the heart back with a hand.
"Slave Arrow!!!" With a pop like that of a bubble, hundreds of heart arrows fired out and started barraging the pirates, petrifying them. The cannonballs fired towards her were also frozen in place.
"Shit! Pirate Empress Boa Hancock—" A Whitebeard pirate recognized her before he raised his hand to block a powerful kick from the Pirate Empress herself. He slowly turned to stone and this meant Hancock was in action.
"Perfume Femur!!!" Hancock shouted before performing handstand and spinning around in order to deliver a series of kicks.
She was indiscriminate with her attacks, attacking pirates and Marines alike. One Marine was brave enough to voice his dissatisfaction.
"Oi! What the hell is your problem?! Why are you hurting us Marines too?!" He shouted as Hancock stood majestically on her snake, Salome. She looked down at the man with disgust on her face.
"While I did agree to lend you my aid against Whitebeard, I never said anything about becoming your ally. Enemies or allies, it matters not, all men are the same to me. All but him...." Hancock had a small smile and blush on her face as she thought about Luffy.
'Oh! Luffy! When will you be here?!~ I want to ne in your arms again!~'
"Ursus Shock." Kuma muttered emotionlessly as he launched a paw shaped ompressed air bubble at Oars Jr like a bomb. The bubble decompressed and caused a massive paw shaped explosion.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!*
The explosion destroyed walls and injured the giant greatly. Nevertheless, Oars Jr. stands, all bloodied. He dropped to his knees and noticed that his conical hat had dropped to the ground.
"Oars!!! Please!!! Stop this!!!" Ace shouted almost in tears at what her friend was putting himself through all just for her.
"Aim for Oars!!!!" One of the Marines commanded before the rest take fire upon Oars Jr who had entered a flashback about where the hat came from.
Ace was the one who made the hat so that Oars Jr could be kept cool under the hot sun. Oars remembered that he was happy that he couldn't get wet in the rain with the hat ln his head. It was the same when it was snowing.
"If I can't rescue Ace... Then.... I could at least take one of them out!!!" Oars Jr then roared and threw his fist at the unsuspecting Doflamingo who hummed as he glanced at the giant fist descending towards him.
*BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!!*
Doflamingo dodged the attack easily before flying above Oars' head.
"Oi! Don't do anything to him!! I want his corpse!!" Doflamingo who was grinning madly looked at Moria who was gritting his teeth while glaring at him.
"Who said you could tell me what to do?! You're the one that got defeated by a rookie pirate here!! If it wasn't for the Marines passing by Florian Triangle, you would be dead meat and food for the flies!" He looked and shouted at a very bandaged up Moria after landing gracefully on the ground.
" Oars is reaching for Ace!!!" One of the Marines shouted as a weak Oars stretched out his right hand for Ace.
"Just....a little.... further...." He wheezed out, his hand a couple of feet away from the Second Division Commander. Moria grinned evilly as he raised his right hand.
"Oh no you don't!! You'll be under my control now!!!" Moria laughed as he formed a shadow spear with his Devil Fruit abilities, intending to impale Oars through the stomach.
Suddenly, Moria froze in his spot, cancelling his creation of the shadow spear and started shaking uncontrollably. He looked at where the fleet of Whitebeard's ships were and dropped to his knees.
"N-n-no!!! Th-th-this c-can't be!!! I-i-i thought he died in Sabaody!!!"
