Third Person POV
Marineford, First Half of Grandline.
...
...
The sea shifted as Whitebeard activated his power, reshaping the entire environment. Luffy was calmly pinned to the ground, but that couldn't be said for some of his companions or even the marines falling into holes created as the ground cracked, or pirates trying to protect themselves from the fury of their captain.
This continued for a while until everything began to stabilize, as Sengoku was crouched on the execution platform, he stood up. "Destroy Whitebeard!!" Sengoku shouted as everyone prepared to attack Whitebeard like ants, but he grabbed his weapon that he had stuck in the ground before facing the giant vice admiral.
He moved his weapon quickly and launched a blow toward the square, advancing through the battlefield and destroying the ice in his path. Luffy saw Akainu appear at this moment as he raised his hand with haki, making Whitebeard's attack stop because of him.
"So he finally decided to show up...?" Luffy commented, looking at the situation while not too worried about everything happening, his limbs finally seemed to stabilize.
Whitebeard launched another attack, but Akainu alone held it back once more, Luffy narrowed his eyes. 'It seems they don't have the Wapometal to protect from Whitebeard's attacks and the admiral himself must take care of this...' Since Wapol was dead, he could not sell the metal he eventually created, indeed, no one could create it, after all Luffy bought the system fruit when he left Enies Lobby, using the ransom money, it cost 2 billion, though it did not seem like a powerful fruit... It was very useful.
'As soon as this war ends, I'm going to start a large production of metal in Skypiea, create a real weapon factory to distribute to the allied kingdoms. But who should eat this fruit...? Maybe Lola?' Luffy debated internally, but soon had to cut those thoughts before turning his attention back to the war.
Boa Hancock was still clinging to him, and he calmly let her go as she made a dissatisfied expression, but Luffy had a war to continue.
"Just stay safe and don't strain yourself, leave the rest to me." Luffy spoke as he passed by her again.
"Stop Straw Hat!!" Sengoku exclaimed as all the Shichibukais had their own opponents and some apparently were defeated, which even gave an opening for Whitebeard's pirates to advance and gain the upper hand.
Luffy was walking as a form of ice formed in front of him with Kuzan stopping fighting one of Whitebeard's commanders to challenge Luffy.
"You finally showed up Kuzan, you know that of all the admirals, you're the one with the least advantage to fight with me." Luffy taunted the man as his companions remained alert.
"..." Kuzan said nothing and raised his hand, before creating ice arrows and launching them at him, Luffy responded with his flames quickly launching fireballs, while the ice arrows and fireballs exploded in the air, but Luffy's fire had the advantage as he advanced against the admiral.
As he created an ice barrier soon after, the flames exploded on it while Kuzan protected the marines behind him.
'This is getting tough... we need the vice admirals here... has ______ not started yet?' Sengoku murmured, as the situation became increasingly difficult, however at that moment thousands of pirates began to run to the shore coming from Whitebeard's fleet, not with euphoric faces, but with fear of a group of pacifistas coming from that side, destroying everything they could and killing as many enemies as possible.
"So it started..." Luffy murmured as everyone watched stunned, all the pirates and captains from Whitebeard's fleet were coming to the middle of the bay while they were defeated by a group of pacifistas much like Luffy remembered from the anime, there were at least about 100 of them.
"Are the marines retreating...?" Robin commented next to Luffy.
"Yes..." Luffy commented as the marines began to enter the square leaving the bay aside. Only the admirals had stayed with more groups fighting each other on the ice and sky.
"Is this getting dangerous?" Shirahoshi asked worriedly.
"Yes, but nothing we can't handle," Luffy said, looking at Kuzan behind the ice wall as he protected the retreating marines. He created a fireball with his hand and launched it again to attack Kuzan, this ball was even more powerful than those that had shattered part of the ice wall.
The wall simply exploded as soon as it was touched by flames, and Kuzan was consumed by the flames, becoming melted ice. The next moment, some distance from there, Kuzan emerged from the frozen ground with a frown.
"You have strong defense, but you're slow." Before Kuzan could do anything, Luffy appeared next to him and Kuzan crossed his arms as he defended against Luffy's haki punch, sending the admiral flying powerfully into the wall and shattering it, with Kuzan falling to the square with the debris, stunning all the marines there.
"Admiral Kuan?!!" They shouted in shock.
"Start the plan!!" Sengoku saw this and quickly shouted as the pacifistas began to become more aggressive, invading the bay, forcing the pirates to retreat even further into the middle of the battlefield.
Luffy looked at Akainu jumping on one of the walls, preparing to attack the entire bay, even though there were still some marines around, while at that moment, the vice admirals leapt into the air, returning to the square after passing through the ongoing fights.
"Everyone retreat immediately!!!" Sengoku yelled as even Kizaru began to leave his fight and Kuma, Doflamingo, and Moria, fighting against the Straw Hats, also began to retreat. Whitebeard frowned at this and the next moment everyone could feel Akainu's movement, with his arms beginning to transform into lava.
He pointed upwards and began launching his attack with hundreds of fists being fired one after another.
"THIS?!" The pirates were immediately stunned by the attack flying into the sky, before it began to descend into the middle of the bay, while the fights in the sky had to stop fighting each other to dodge the attacks.
"Hey, you damn inferior!!" The Tenryuubito could not help but exclaim angrily at Akainu, almost attacking them, he did not hear this.
"It's coming for us!!!" The pirates were in a very difficult situation.
"I will help..." Luffy spoke as he removed something from his back. "Shirahoshi, I need you to use your powers after I make my move." Luffy said as he took the trident from his pocket and handed it to the girl.
"Yes... hm?" Shirahoshi was surprised as her body began to grow at that moment, as Luffy set her to normal size.
"Bepo, I want you to help me with this too." Luffy spoke approaching Bepo and Hachi, as Shirahoshi emerged with her size of nearly 20 meters, but not attracting much attention due to everyone looking up at the sky. Luffy cast his moa moa no mi on Bepo and Hachi, with them also growing to 20 meters, he could increase their size up to 10 times, Luffy still had a limitation on the number of people he could do this to, after all, he would put his crew of giant people even without their transformations.
Both grew, shattering the ground. Bepo knew very well what to do, as he focused on the ground, Luffy did not stop there, after all, he had to at least lessen the impact of Akainu's attack, as he began to explode in a pillar of fire away from his companions and his transformation into an Ifrit as he opened his mouth with a roar and accumulated flames there.
Things happened so fast that no one could react when all this happened and Luffy simply launched his accumulated flames from his mouth and they spread rapidly in hundreds of flames flying against Akainu's fists.
Sengoku, Garp, Ace, the admirals, vice admirals, marines, and all of Whitebeard's forces saw the flames collide with the lava fists, which quickly exploded against each other, but that was not enough, as they were not extinguished, just slowed down as they fell to the ground, but that was just the beginning, because suddenly the ground of the bay began to have something similar to the power of the gura gura no mi, with it cracking and the next moment flying into the sky with several immense rocks, with the power of the fuwa fuwa no mi.
"Ahhh, we have to get out of here!!!" Everywhere, pirates exclaimed, running to get off those rocks flying into the sky, with the terrain becoming filled with various holes.
The ice blocks soared into the sky and cried out with the flames, rocks, and lava, catching fire quickly, but not to the point of descending to the center of the bay as they were suspended in the air.
Luffy looked on satisfied, as he returned to his human form, falling to the ground beside the giants and Robin.
Even so, flames began to fall across the bay, with Bepo unable to catch them all, but with a much lesser impact if the Straw Hats hadn't acted. Shirahoshi saw this and flicked her tail before rising into the air with everyone paying attention to the giant mermaid for the first time, the entire world watched as she swung her trident and began to create water in the air all along the edge, while the place was enveloped in a vortex of a water curtain extinguishing all the flames in the area, while the sky was still enveloped by blocks of ice melting with the flames.
"Did she extinguish all the flames?!" The pirates looked up at the mermaid in the air with admiration.
"Have we failed?!" Sengoku growled, but his confused gaze went upward, after all, that giant mermaid shouldn't be able to extinguish the hundreds of blocks of flames in the sky? Until a bad thought came with it.
"You're turning the navy's strategy against itself..." Robin commented, looking at Luffy with admiration.
"You can say that again." Luffy commented smiling, as he saw a giant Bepo flying in the sky. Everyone in Marineford saw him stand in front of those blocks of flames, before he pointed towards the bay and all the navy members widened their eyes as they saw all that attack beginning to fly towards them.
"May the gods save us..." Sengoku murmured as he saw all those small flaming rock and lava meteorites flying towards them.
Luffy was being ruthless with this, many people would die at this moment, but he could not mourn for soldiers that his grandfather was a part of, he turned to the other giant. "Hachi, get ready to create holes in the walls, we're finally going to enter the square!" Luffy spoke as they were the closest people to the place while there was no one else to stop them.
