"Dorry!! Get your big bearded ass over here!! This little snail phone is making strange noises!!!" Brogy, the co-captain of the Giant Pirates shouted to Dorry, the other captain of the Giant Pirates.
"Oh really?!" Dorry shouted as he sat down on the ground, creating a giant shockwave. He looked down at the Den Den Mushi set down on a very giant boulder.
"Brogy, I just woke up so can you confirm that it was Captain Luffy's orange haired navigator who gave us that phone?" Dorry asked Brogy who nodded.
"You're right, Dorry. She said that he would only call us when something big is gonna happen. You better pick it up then! " Brogy rushed Dorry who gently picked up the Den Den Mushi which was extremely tiny in their eyes.
"Do they not have this Giant sized?" Dorry grumbled as he tried his best to answer the call while the snail made annoying ringtone noises during the process.
"Got it!"
"Kachak!"
"Hello, Future Pirate King Monkey D Luffy speaking!" Dorry and Brogy grinned as they heard their Captain's voice.
"Hey!! It's been a while!! How have you been captain?!" Dorry asked him enthusiastically.
Luffy laughed. "Shishishishishi!!! I'm doing just fine! Where's Brogy, Dorry? "
"Right here!!" Brogy shouted while he was eating a giant apple.
"We've read what happened with the Tenryūbito on the newspaper. I have to say, 1,547,600,000 Belly on your first year of piracy, that's insane." Brogy added.
"Thanks, insanity runs in the family. I think we should get to the reason why I'm calling you two." Luffy's tone suddenly changed into a serious one.
"We're all ears." Dorry grumbled while Brogy sat up straight, listening attentively to what their captain has to say.
"Long story short, I just broke into and out of Impel Down with a bunch of prisoners. Now we're joining up with Whitebeard to go to war against the Marines in Marineford."
"I need familiar faces with me in all of the chaos is what I'm trying to say. Are you two still fighting it out in Little Garden?" Luffy asked them.
" Nah, we've wrapped up that stuff long ago. I tripped on the river and Dorry beat the shit out of me after. GABABABABABABA!!!!" Brogy replied to him before laughing loudly.
"We're back in Elbaf and we've been spreading your name. All of Elbaf knows about you now." Dorry added.
"There's also the New Giant Warrior Pirates now which is the spiritual revival of our original Giant Warrior Pirates."
" But now the new joined up with the old, it's still called the New Giant Warrior Pirates though because it's a new start and all of that. " Brogy explained.
"Tell us, captain. Where do you want to meet?"
"Near but also not near Marineford. If you see a Jolly Roger that has a pigeon sitting on tip of a leopard skull, that's where we're at."
.

"Alright, captain. We'll be there in a second." Luffy sighed as Dorry ended the call. He looked at Jinbe who was looking at him weirdly.
" If my memory serves me right, Dorry and Brogy are the co-captains of the Giant Warrior Pirates right?"
"Yup, and they're one of two crews apart of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet." Luffy explained.
"How in the Blues did you even find them, they're thought to be dead?" Jinbe wondered. Luffy laughed a little.
"Hehe! It's a pretty long story, Jinbe. I'll tell you about it after the war is over." Luffy promised before he looked up at the Gates of Justice in front of them.
"Mugiwara-boy, is it me or is that opening?!" Ivankov shouted from the deck. Luffy widened his eyes.
"Guess I don't have to force it open. But question is who opened it?" Luffy asked out loud.
"So it has started already. " Jinbe whispered before looking at Luffy.
" Luffy-kun, this will be a very weird question to ask but could you possibly find a way to accelerate the ship?" Jinbe asked him. Luffy hummed as he thought about a solution to Jinbe's question.
" I got it!" Luffy shouted before using Geppo to start walking on the air. The prisoners looked on in awe at his seemingly impossible actions.
He walked to the back of the ship before cracking his knuckles. He raised his thumb before opening his mouth to shout out a warning to everybody on the ship.
"Hey!!! Everyone hang onto something!!!" He shouted before he corked his mouth with his right thumb. He then bit into his thumb joint, making a small opening and blows hard into his bones, which inflated his right arm.
"Gear Third!!" Luffy who now had a gigantic right arm, started pushing the warship while running in midair. The ship was going at blinding speeds.
"Holy shiiiiiit!!!!!" A flying Buggy screamed as he grabbed onto Jinbe's clothes while Jinbe himself remained unfazed at this sudden change of pace.
"Mugiwara-boy!!! This is insanity!!!!"

In the middle of nowhere near Marineford....
"They're already starting. Whitebeard's ship just appeared." Bege muttered as he used the spyglass to look at the Marineford.
" Ugh, he's late!!!" Bonney shrieked loudly before munching on a pizza to calm her nerves. Law who was standing on his own ship, sighed and palmed his face.
"Why did we agree to this?" He grumbled.
"To turn the world upside down." Kid replied while mocking Luffy's voice, making Law smirk a little.
"Wait captain, what's that?" Bepo asked Law who hummed and looked at where the bear pointed at.
He widened his eyes as he saw a Marine warship advancing on their positions at blinding speeds.
"Enemy incoming!" Law warned them. The alliance of rookie pirates quickly got on guard. But then Law saw something, he saw a giant hand pushing the ship from behind.
"That hand....Mugiwara-ya?" Law wondered as the giant hand suddenly disappeared but the ship was still advancing towards them. Suddenly he saw somebody zoom through the sky and appeared in front of the ship with pure speed while standing in midair.
It was Luffy. He cracked his knuckles before holding out his hands. The warship slammed into him but was held back with the pure strength from the straw hat wearing pirate.
"Ah, safe and sound." Luffy patted his hand while the escapees on the ship groaned weakly. Some vomited while some fainted after everything was over. Jinbe was still unfazed.
"So, what did I miss?" Luffy asked his pirate friends who all deadpanned at him, including Lucci.
" Where were you?! We've been waiting on this spot for days!" Bonney demanded as Luffy got onto her ship.
"I got sent to an island on the Calm Belt, Amazon Lily to be exact. Then I took a ride of Hancock's ship to Impel Down, snuck in there, destroyed everything and broke just about everyone out of there." Luffy explained while pointing at the escapees on his warship.
"We don't have time for recounting. Let's get this started already!" Kid shouted excitedly while punching his palm.
"IS THAT A TSUNAMI?!!!" Buggy shouted loudly as he pointed at two tsunamis on either side of Marineford advancing towards it. But then it was suddenly frozen entirely.
"That must be Aokiji." Lucci whispered before he looked at Luffy.
"Captain, what are you waiting for?" The ex CP9 agent asked him. Luffy appeared beside him and whispered about Dorry, Brogy and the New Giant Warrior Pirates in Lucci's ear.
"I see, then I'll stay back and rejoin you." Lucci whispered. Luffy nodded before getting off his ship and jumping back to the Marine warship he stole.
"Let's go everybody!!" He shouted as the ships advanced forward. Law's ship which was a submarine named Polar Tang, sunk into the sea.
"Bro! Why aren't you moving?!!" Apoo shouted at Lucci whose ship stayed unmoving as the others moved away from him.
"Don't tell me you're chickening out now!" Kid shouted while grinning at Lucci.
"I'm staying back to wait for someone." Lucci explained stoically, unfazed by their taunts.
"Who is this someone huh?!"
"People that will change the tide of the war with their mere presence alone." Lucci replied mysteriously, causing Kid to scowl.
"Leave him, Jaggy. It's probably his orders." Bonney grumbled while looking at Luffy who was busy talking with Jinbe.
"Jinbe, interesting. What will he bring to the game? Just how did Mugiwara have allies so easily?" Bege whispered. Hawkins looked at Luffy before he drew a tarot card.
"Hmm.... King Of Wands, representing initiative, ambition, drive and desire. It perfectly suits him." Hawkins whispered before subtly looking at Luffy while remembering the meaning of the card.
The card traditionally represents the energy of a dynamic King, this card also represents the classic conquering hero. The King is a charismatic leader, entrepreneurial and ambitious, always creating new adventures.
He does this because he doesn't like to stay home or to have to 'mind the store' -- he gets to feeling restless and bored with the predictable. If you need a crusader, or someone to take on a big challenge, he's your man. He needs a big assignment, and would rather lead than follow.
A bit of a performer, he overachieves in situations where it will be noticed, but in private he wants to be served and adored like the head lion of a pride.
A benevolent dictator, he makes life wonderful for those he loves and just the opposite for those who displease him.
It suited Luffy perfectly, too perfectly that it scared Hawkins a little. He sighed and put the deck of tarot cards away into his pocket.
"What will happen now?"
