*BOOM*
Two of the elders went to attack Whitebeard while the remaining two went to Roger because the two represented the biggest threat.
But there was Rayleigh too and he was stronger than the average Admiral. The war got messy quickly. Marines were being thrown like ragdolls, even Vice-Admirals who were many times considered powerhouses were helpless at the moment.
The Pirates had the strength and the Marines had numbers. However, the Pirates side could still lose as the two remaining admirals, Kizaru and Aokiji, hadn't entered the fight yet. Sengoku and Garp too.
The elders were honestly very strong. Much stronger than an Admiral or a Yonko so they were reining hard.
"Hahaha... this won't be enough, fools." Roger laughed loudly. He didn't have any Devil Fruit power but his Haki in itself was strongest in the world.
He used Armament Haki and punched the Blonde elder in the face. "Did you like that? Ah... it feels so good punching you."
Just a few feet away from him, Whitebeard was also fighting the other two elders. He was using his devil fruit ability to the fullest. He wasn't called the strongest man in the world just for his body but his fighting prowess too.
"Scums of the world should stay on the ground." Whitebeard punched one elder to the ground.However, when they thought they were gaining an upper hand, two figures fell from the sky. One was huge and one was small.
Everyone looked at who it was and when the dust settled Whitebeard showed anger. "Teach, you traitor."
On the other hand, all the Marines got anxious seeing Big Mom. But Big Mom quickly made her intentions clear. "Don't fear, Government's dogs. I came to kill Whitebeard. But what is this, Roger is alive too?"
Roger looked at her in disgust, "Damn, Charlotte Linlin, what happened to you? You used to look so good back in the days."
"Hah... It's probably Diabetes." Rayleigh joked.
Big Mom didn't say anything and jumped straight at Roger, "Just defeating you made Whitebeard the strongest man. What will killing you make me?"
"Murderer?" Roger said and got ready to fight.
But Roger also had to deal with two elders. It was straining for him now.
"WHY IS UNIVERSE NOT HERE?" Big Mom shouted. She had started this war to kill him after all.
She threw a punch at Roger's back who was busy dealing with the Elders.
*CLANK*
A sword appeared and stopped that punch. Once again everyone stopped and looked who it was.
Sengoku's eyes twitched seeing the new arrival. The situation had gotten way out of hand now. "RED-HAIRED SHANKS, WHY ARE YOU HERE?"
Shanks smirked, "What kind of question is that? I came to help my captain."
Shanks looked at Roger and found a moment to give him a good hug quickly. Roger was like a father to him back in the days, "Haha, you have grown a lot stronger, my boy. I'm proud of you."
Shanks felt really good from getting recognition from Roger. "When you are just a chore boy and are being hunted by the Marines, World Government, and Bounty Hunters. You either get stronger or die."
Soon the fight started again. With the addition of Red Hair pirates, the tides of war had changed. The Marines found themselves cornered, which is why Sengoku and the other two admirals also jumped in.
Sengoku fought Shanks alone while Akainu and Kizaru went to fight Whitebeard and Kuzan went to fight various Defected Shichibukai.
With the addition of Admirals, Whitebeard and Roger were on the back foot. Fighting 2 Elders was already tough.
Pirates and Marines were dying in the whole field. Alexander was doing his best to minimize the loss of innocent life.
"ACEEEEE!"
Out of nowhere, a loud voice resounded in the sky and a man was seen flying towards the execution platform. It was Luffy and he had somehow launched himself into the air.
He fell directly in front of the platform but Garp was also there. "Luffy, you fool. Why did you come here?"
"Grandpa, move away. I must save Ace." Luffy angrily shouted.
"Look behind you. They all want to do that. Even Roger is somehow back from the dead to save his son and they are a hundred times stronger than you. What gives you the strength to do this?" Garp shouted back.
Luffy was in too much frustration to realize that his idol, Gol D Roger was alive. He started running up towards Garp. "Step aside, Grandpa."
"Make me!" Garp roared and got ready to fight him.
~Dammit, old man, where are you?~ Garp internally cursed.
...
Back in the field,
The tides again started to change in favor of the Marines. Now, only if somehow 5 more admiral level or above people were to appear to help Roger and Whitebeard.
*BOOM BOOM*
Suddenly hundreds of cannonballs started to fall on the field. It was raining steel.
Again, everyone stopped and looked around to see what was happening. Soon a humongous shadow appeared in the sea. It kept on getting bigger and bigger.
Soon a Vice Admiral reported to Sengoku. Though the highest command of the battlefield were the elders, but nobody knew them.
"Fleet Admiral, it's the Golden Justice Army. They have brought their moving headquarters and five thousand warships. They have surrounded Marineford." he scaredly reported.
Then all of a sudden, loudspeakers started to resound from the huge Justicefort ship.
"We have surrounded you from all sides, Marines and World Government employees are advised to surrender or die. We have two hundred thousand troops to fight against already exhausted you all. This is our first and final warning."
But not all of them stopped fighting. Mainly Whitebeard, Roger, Elders, Big Mom, and Blackbeard.
Blackbeard was desperate for Whitebeard's fruit so he was doing all he could to kill him. But to his shock, somehow the old man was back in his prime.
Seeing no other way, Dragon released the troops to fight. All of them were given Alexander's best-forged armor that could ignore most sword strikes and gunshots.
Dragon himself with, Z, Fujitora, Kong, Mihawk, Doflamingo, Rosinante, Fisher Tiger, and Jinbe came to the fight.
This was a huge boost to the morals of the ones fighting the marines. Dragon instantly recognized the Elders, "Hah, even they came down. Let's make sure they never go back up there,"
They joined the fight and started to push back. Blackbeard was now getting the undivided attention of Whitebeard and he did not like it. Whitebeard was showing no mercy to him.
Roger was also beating Big Mom badly. Her Devil Fruit didn't seem to work on most of the people there. Her ability required people to be afraid of her and most of the people fighting her weren't even afraid of death.
In all the mayhem, Akainu realized that his justice was losing and something was needed to be done. If they don't kill at least Ace then all the lives lost that day would be worthless and Marines would become a laughing stock of the world.
So he snuck away from the active fight, sidetracked Luffy and Garp, and appeared near Ace on the platform.
"This is the end, boy." He shouted loudly and threw his lava fist at him.
From his shout, people realized what was happening. Roger and Whitebeard stopped fighting and jumped towards the execution platform with full strength. Even Garp and Luffy stopped fighting and ran towards Ace.
...
"Alex, when the hell are we going to fight? My hand is itching." Ragnarok complained.
"What's the point? Once we enter it will be like throwing ragdolls here and there." Alexander replied.
"Oh, look. what's he doing?" Ragnarok pointed towards the Execution platform.
"Ah, dammit, Sakazuki and his stupid justice. It seems we will get involved now. But no turning into dragon until Im shows up, okay?" He ordered.
"Sure, not like I need to turn into a dragon to beat these weaklings." Ragnarok nonchalantly jumped to the window and flew out.
Alexander also jumped to the execution Platform.
*BOOM*
Alexander loudly fell just behind Admiral Akainu, his height dwarfing Akainu's, who was about to plant his fist into Ace's chest.
"Boy, you've got guts to attack my grandkid." Alexander coldly said and continued.
"It seems you forgot the lesson I gave you back at Ohara. Let me remind you then."
The moment he heard Alexander, Akainu's face showed fear. He knew no matter what he does he can't beat him.
Alexander grabbed Akainu's head again in a blink and dragged him down from the platform and planted his face into the ground with force enough to turn a normal person's skull into a paste.
"I told you to go and do something about the slave house in Sabaody and yet it was me who had to destroy it. What happened to your absolute justice? Don't tell me you can only do your perverted justice gig on weak powerless people?" Alexander lectured.
He was humiliating him in every way possible, "You are a sick man, Sakazuki. But you don't deserve death. However, my punishment will make you wish that you had died today. I am taking away your Devil Fruit and also weakening your body so it can never harness Haki. From now on, you will live like a normal weak human. Just like the people on whom you passed your absolute justice."
His declaration scared many on the battlefield. A lot of them decided to run away as they didn't want their haki or devil fruits taken away. But they were quickly caught by his army.
Then suddenly, Alexander lifted his other free hand and grabbed a yellow light that appeared out of nowhere, It was Kizaru using his Light Light Fruit "You wanna save him? Then you suffer the same fate, you are a sadistic man who hunted slaves who ran from Mary Geoise, you are no better than Akainu. I am taking away your fruit and making you a weaker man"
Kizaru's eyes widened in shock. No man was able to catch him to this day and now here he was, utterly defeated. Akainu and Kizaru didn't even get a chance to speak before their bodies lost all their strength.
"Now, you will grow old, get sick and die like a normal man, even worse than a normal man to be precise because all the injuries you received all these years are still there and will resurface now. Enjoy the misery."
On the other side of the field, Ragnarok was fighting the Elders. The elders must have said something to him that made him angry.
"You call yourself celestial dragons, ha? But you don't look celestial and surely not a dragon. Let me show you what a real celestial dragon looks like.
*ROAAAAAAR*
Ragnarok turned into his huge dragon form. The people in the field stopped fighting and looked at him in dread. The island started to shake from the sheer weight of Ragnarok.
"THIS IS WHAT A REAL DRAGON LOOKS LIKE!" Ragnarok shouted in his draconic voice.
The elders felt really scared this time. They had seen Kaido's dragon form but this was on a whole different scale.
But before Ragnarok could breathe fire and destroy everything, Alexander appeared in front of his face, "Goddamit, Rag. Are you trying to sink the island with your weight? You could have easily handled them without turning into this. Go back to the human form, now!"
Ragnarok heard him and started to turn back.
