One Piece: Fist of the World.

"Dad!"

Feeling his father's determination, a hint of hesitation flashed across Ace's face.

This time, he was the one who tried to save Luffy at all costs, but in the end it was his father and other members of the Whitebeard Pirates who sacrificed their lives, which made Ace feel conflicted.

"Silly son, I'm not doing this just for you!"

As if he had noticed his sons' mixed emotions, Whitebeard reached out and rubbed Ace's head.

"I've already said that the new era has arrived. It's your era. As for the remnants of the old era like me, I'd better stay in the old era forever."

"Everyone from the Whitebeard Pirates, retreat now!"

Whitebeard's loud voice spread throughout the battlefield, and all those who were still hesitating about what to do next immediately took action and evacuated quickly.

Because Marijoa was attacked, the navy was in a panic and did not take any action to intercept the pirates, allowing them to evacuate.

Some people who lost their best friends in the battle looked unwilling, but stopped their actions when stopped by their companions, and just looked at the opposite side with hatred.

As long as war occurs, the seeds of hatred are planted. As time goes by, they take root and sprout, and finally grow into a towering tree. At a certain point in time, hatred is ignited and turns into a raging flame that burns both sides to ashes.

"Let's go!"

Marco patted Ace's shoulder.

"This is our captain's final order!"

"Ace!"

Whitebeard lowered his head and looked at his young son.

This is the person he has chosen, the one who can lead the Whitebeard Pirates family to continue sailing in the new era.

"I'm glad to be your daddy!"

"Dad!"

The tenderness in Whitebeard's eyes enveloped Ace, and a fierce emotion rushed into his heart, making his eyes sore.

"Let's go!"

Whitebeard patted Ace's head for the last time and grabbed the naginata that was stuck beside him. It was a weapon that Rod gave him not long after taking away his Kusukumokiri.

"Gulala, are you okay, Kaido?"

Whitebeard suddenly stepped forward, and a terrifying force of shock gathered in his fist. As he swung his fist, the terrifying power exploded, and everything in front of him was directly shattered. Even Garp, who rushed over to intercept, was blown away by this blow.

"Uh-huh-huh-huh! I'm really good!"

Kaido also laughed loudly and swung his mace hard.

"The last time we fought together like this was more than 30 years ago!"

"That was a long time ago. You were just an intern back then!"

Whitebeard also brought back memories of the past, which was not a pleasant experience, but it was not bad either.

At that time, they were all members of the same pirate group, but so many years have passed, and all the old buddies have died, and the only one with news is Kaido.

"That time I only got the Devil Fruit. This time, I want something more!"

The two pirate emperors joined forces again after more than 30 years. Although there was no coordination, the full force of these two absolutely high-level fighters still made the navy feel pressured.

"Kuzan, Borsalino, the two of you lead a part of the navy to support Marijoa first."

The main force of the Whitebeard Pirates has retreated, leaving only Whitebeard alone.

Although the group of special ability users of the Beasts Pirates are brave, their numbers are small.

Sensing the changes in the battle situation, Zhan Guo acted decisively and arranged for two generals to lead troops to support Marijoa.

As for Whitebeard and Kaido, Akainu is here, along with him and Garp, and it is enough to deal with them!

After this war, no matter what the outcome, he will no longer serve as the Navy Admiral. Among the current three admirals, Sengoku likes Aokiji Kuzan the most.

Now that Marijoa has been attacked, arranging for him to go and provide support and demonstrate himself in front of the Five Elders will also be beneficial for his future succession.

"Hahahaha, I seem to be a little late. Is there anything I can do to help you, Marshal Zhan Guo?"

Just when Sengoku completed his deployment and Aokiji and Kizaru were preparing to take action, a group of people suddenly appeared from the back of the battlefield and landed on the battlefield in Sengoku's shocked eyes.

"Blackbeard, Teach!"

Zhan Guo looked shocked and angry as he looked at Blackbeard Teach who suddenly appeared on the scene, and the people following behind him.

"Caterina Depen, San Juan the Wolf, Basque Choate, Avalo Pizarro!"

Zhan Guo read out the identities of the visitors one by one.

These people are all big pirates imprisoned on the sixth floor of Impel Down. They have committed serious crimes and are extremely vicious.

But now they all appeared in this place.

Among these people, the one that Zhan Guo cared about the most was the man standing next to Blackbeard and wiping the long sword in his hand.

"Rain Shiryu!"

"Have you betrayed justice?"

Xiliu wiped the long sword in his hand, and upon hearing this, he just looked up at Zhan Guo, smiled, and said nothing.

"Hahahaha, don't say such harsh words, Mr. Zhan Guo!"

Blackbeard Teach waved his hand, took two steps forward, glanced at Whitebeard and Kaido not far away, and a hint of heat flashed in his eyes.

Whether it is Whitebeard's [Tremor-Tremor Fruit] or Kaido's [Blue Dragon Fruit], he is very excited.

If he could kill both of these people and seize their fruit abilities, he would instantly become the strongest man in the world.

But if he wanted to kill these two guys, it would be impossible to do it with just the team he had just assembled!

We must make full use of the power of the navy!

"I am a Shichibukai certified by the World Government, and I stand on the same side as the Navy.

Recruiting partners from the Impel Down City is just to better fulfill the duties of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and uphold justice!"

Sengoku glanced at Blackbeard with disgust.

This guy took away so many villains from the sixth floor directly from Impel Down. Magellan must be in great danger.

Together with Magellan, Shiryu, who is known as the iron wall of Impel Down, has now directly joined Blackbeard's pirate group.

The remaining people in Impel Down were simply unable to withstand the power of these pirates.

Moreover, until Blackbeard brought his men to Marinford, they had not received any call from Impel Down. The situation was very bad!

"Wow, he escaped!"

"As expected of you, Master Buggy, you are our only light!"

"No, God Usopp is even more powerful. He is my idol forever!"

"Ah, so dazzling, Lord Usopp's entire body is emitting a sacred light!"

"Wait, something seems wrong..."

"The glowing person doesn't seem to be Lord Usopp..." Along with a noisy voice, a large group of people rushed over from another direction. Those people were all wearing striped prison uniforms, and they were obviously prisoners who escaped from Impel Down.

The two people surrounded by the group of prisoners at the front had one with a big red nose and the other with a long pointed nose.

"Who's talking about my red nose!"

Buggy, who was originally terrified because of breaking into the Marine Headquarters, suddenly shouted, attracting everyone's attention.

"How terrible! Are all the pirates from Impel Down rushing out?"

A figure emitting golden light appeared in front of the group of pirates, and Kizaru, who was wearing sunglasses, spoke in a strange tone.

Although he said "scary", to the pirates who saw him, he was the truly scary one.

"Admiral Kizaru!!!"

The knowledgeable pirate screamed.

"Why did I see the admiral right after I escaped from prison?!"

"Great God Usopp, think of a solution quickly!"

"Great Lord Buggy, teach him a hard lesson!"

Shouts rang out one after another. Facing the threat from the admiral, these pirates who had escaped from prison showed panic at first, but they quickly returned to normal. Instead, they looked arrogant, as if they had something to rely on.

"general!"

Buggy's face turned pale. He was not the kind of ignorant pirate. He knew very well what the admiral of the navy meant.

"navy!"

Although Usopp didn't know what kind of power the Navy Admiral meant, the word "Navy" alone was enough to make him panic.

"Wait, this is the Marine Headquarters? Is Luffy here too?"

Next to Usopp, a blond man with curly eyebrows brightened up.

According to the information obtained during the prison break, Luffy was escorted here for execution.

However, judging from the situation here, it seems that there has been a fierce battle, and I am afraid that the so-called execution has not yet taken place.

"Luffy?"

Ace, who was about to retreat, caught sight of the familiar name and his expression slightly changed.

"If so many pirates escape from Impel Down, it will be a huge loss to the reputation of the Navy and the World Government."

Kizaru made a hand gesture with both hands, and a large amount of light gathered in his palms.

"So, please stay here. - Yasakani no Magatama!"

Dense laser beams launched a saturation attack on the pirates in front of them. These were just pirates from the third and fourth floors of Impel Down. They had no power to resist Kizaru's attack.

“Mirror Flame!!”

A figure formed by flames stood in front of Usopp and his men. The overwhelming flames blocked the laser beams. The flames that originally represented destruction became a shield to protect these pirates.

"You are Luffy's companions, right?"

Ace tilted his head slightly and looked at Usopp and the others.

They had met briefly before on Gaya Island.

"Luffy's brother!!"

Usopp looked at Ace with tears in his eyes. If the other party hadn't rescued them, they would probably have died under the laser beam just now.

"Luffy has been rescued, you can just leave with me."

Ace gave a warning, then turned to look at Kizaru in front of him.

"Oh my, didn't the Whitebeard Pirates say they were going to retreat? You don't look like you're retreating, Fire Fist Ace!"

Kizaru stared at Ace.

"I'm sorry, as an older brother, I always have to solve problems for my useless younger brother."

Ace said this with a hint of pride on his face.

···
On a deserted island not far from Marinford.

Sabo was waiting.

Although Mr. Dragon and Mr. Bear said that they did not need their help and left in their own ways, Sabo did not leave as they said.

This deserted island is close to Marinford. In addition to the ship they came on, there is another ship docked on the shore.

Based on Sabo's understanding of Mr. Dorag and Mr. Big Bear, they should be planning to send Mr. Dorag's son here first and then leave by boat.

No one knows what kind of things will happen when they leave later, so Sabo has been waiting here, waiting for the time when he can help.

Bo——!
A voice suddenly sounded, and Sabo stood up suddenly and looked at the bear paw-shaped bubble that suddenly appeared in front of him.

The bubble suddenly burst in Sabo's sight, and the boy wearing a straw hat who was originally wrapped in it fell to the ground and stood up hastily.

"Where is this place? I want to go back! Usopp, Sanji, Cavendish, they are still imprisoned, I want to rescue them! And Ace, Ace is still in Marinford!"

Luffy yelled loudly, but because of the seastone handcuffs on his hands, he had no strength at all and could only barely stand up.

"You know..."

Realizing that there were other people on the island besides himself, Luffy turned around abruptly and wanted to ask the other party about how to get to Marinford, but suddenly saw a face that only existed in his memories.

"Saab!!!"

A trace of confusion flashed across Luffy's eyes, and then there was an indescribable joy from the bottom of his heart. His eyes were instantly filled with tears, and he rushed forward and threw himself on the other person.

"Great, you're still alive!"

With his hands still handcuffed, Luffy simply wrapped his legs around Sabo's body, tears streaming from his eyes.

"I thought..."

"you know me?"

Sabo was a little confused by Luffy's sudden enthusiasm, but for some reason, he felt a very familiar aura from the other party.

"what!?"

Luffy's crying suddenly stopped and he looked at Sabo in disbelief.

"I'm sorry, I had a head injury when I was a child, and I can't remember anything from before that."

Sabo looked at Luffy. Although he still couldn't recall the relevant memories, he could feel a sense of familiarity from the other party, as if they had known each other for a long time.

"But I can feel that our relationship must be very close."

Sabo reached out and touched Luffy's head.

"It's okay. It doesn't matter if you can't remember the past. As long as you are alive and well, that's all that matters. Ace would be very happy if he knew you were still alive!"

Luffy wiped his tears and a happy smile appeared on his face again.

Even if Sabo lost his memory of himself and Ace, as long as he is still alive and well, that is the best news! (End of this chapter)
