[Chapter Size: 1900 Words.]
Third Person POV

Sabaody Archipelago, First Half of Grandline.

...

...

After the news about Luffy and his crew beating up a group of Tenryuubito and the most frightened ones had passed through their period of depression, they returned to their activities during the day.

"Luffy, shouldn't we keep the marines from approaching here?" Usopp said, observing with his observation haki a group not only of marines but also wearing World Government suits.

"Yes." Luffy agreed while releasing a conqueror's haki, causing all the people in that area who weren't his companions to fall to the ground unconscious. "There..." Luffy commented, smiling.

"Your haki isn't bad..." Rayleigh spoke with some admiration.

"I may not have had a teacher, but I got a good manual." Luffy replied.

"You guys haven't even been at sea for a year and you're already like this... it seems you could surpass us in less than a decade..." Rayleigh said with a smile.

"That's a long time, we'll do it much sooner." Zoro spoke for Luffy at that moment.

"Hahaha. I'd like to see that." Rayleigh didn't seem offended and laughed.

"Anyway." Luffy cut off the subject and turned to Usopp. "You have the best observation haki among us, any sense that we're being spied on, inform me..." Luffy said, not wanting them to be seen training Enel, although Luffy planned to go to the Calm Belt tomorrow.

"Hancock called you earlier, didn't she?" Nami seemed to read Luffy's thoughts when he was planning to start training with Enel.

"Yes, she wanted to meet me, so I intend to go to Amazon Lily and stay a few days, after all, when Enel learns the basics, he needs a place to try to create a static field large enough to cover at least half an island for the war." Luffy said, despite wanting to enjoy some time with the mother of his first daughters, he still spoke rationally.

"Tsk. Fine." Nami seemed to be jealous.

"You know you can enjoy a few hours with me if you're not satisfied, I promise we'll sneak away in the middle of the banquet." Luffy said in a seductive tone in Nami's ear.

"Okay..." She said, crossing her arms while a blush appeared on her face.

Luffy returned to training with Enel from a distance while he generated lightning in the isolated area.

The rest of the island heard the thunder explosions from a distance coming from the isolated forest while people could only look without approaching.

This continued throughout the entire day, while the other members took the opportunity to train, Rayleigh coated the ship, and some members strolled around the island, like Yamato buying another fish-bike with her money.

During the night, with the banquet, Nami ended up being stolen by Luffy while they went to have sex in some isolated place on the island for a few hours, and afterward, Luffy had another session of sex with his entire harem.

The next day, the big news reached everyone, "Fire Fist Ace will be executed in a week." This phrase shocked the world even more than Luffy beating a Tenryuubito and appearing on the cover of the previous day.

"This can't be possible! They're going to execute the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates?!"

"Whitebeard will never let that happen!"

"A war, there's going to be a war!"

"The marines want to face the world's strongest pirate? What are they thinking?"

"It's not just that, this war will change the world!"

Citizens shouted all over the globe crazily with the day's newspaper, however, this couldn't be said of the world's greatest forces.

"Where's Cracker? Why hasn't he returned with the brats?!" Big Mom screamed madly, losing her patience as there had been no news of one of her strongest sons for days with Germa.

"He'll come soon, Mama! He's just delayed!" The children tried to calm the fury of that Yonko before everyone became her target.

"We need to do something, Katakuri!" Smoothie exclaimed beside her.

"I know... I'm going to Paradise soon..." He replied with his arms crossed while covering his mouth with a cloth.

"Damn... Cracker... how could you fall like this!" Smoothie exclaimed, while Big Mom didn't suspect what really happened, her children already knew, but didn't want to reveal it to her as it was too dangerous, preferring to act on their own and recover Cracker than face her wrath.

"I..." Katakuri was about to speak, but suddenly a biscuit soldier entered the breakfast room with a newspaper.

"Mama mama!" he screamed.

"Hmm?" Big Mom glared while eating her morning sweet, as it interrupted her from savoring the taste.

"Urgent news! You must see this! A war between Whitebeard and the Marines is going to happen!" the biscuit soldier shouted, and Big Mom looked stunned at these words while quickly moving her hand to grab the newspaper.

"This..." She couldn't believe what she was reading. "This means the old man will fall!" she exclaimed very happily and looked at her children. "We'll have to do this without Cracker here. Gather all the men to send in different directions of the New World, let's prepare to steal all of Whitebeard's territories while that old man dies at Marineford!" Big Mom exclaimed as everyone began to act quickly.

Smoothie looked at Katakuri, frowning. It seemed that his journey to Paradise would have to wait without Big Mom knowing what happened to her son.

Meanwhile, in the territory of Wano.

"Haha, it seems the news has come," Kaido looked at the newspaper while already preparing some of his ships. "We will attack Whitebeard," he demanded.

Kaido wanted Whitebeard's territories, but first, he wanted to attack them directly because this would be the last opportunity to fight the old man, as he was sure that Newgate would fall at Marineford. And as Kaido was a brutal warrior, believing everything was based on strength, he didn't want to miss the opportunity to come out victorious against the strongest man in the world before this war.

"Come on men, let's intercept the Whitebeard Pirates," he shouted as his ships began to leave Wano towards the beginning of the New World to anticipate his adversary.

Elsewhere in the New World, on an unknown island.

Shanks frowned, looking at the newspaper. It seemed that everything he feared had happened, and this could be the end of his Captain's son.

"Damn," Shanks couldn't help but complain, while his crew stayed quiet around him, observing.

It wasn't hard to guess that Whitebeard would go to war, even if it meant his end, he would still face the Marines head-on.

"Tell me, what are Kaido's activities?" Shanks asked his second-in-command, Benn Beckman.

"Kaido was preparing for something before anyone else, he will head to sea with his main members..." Kaido's sudden activities were observed by many forces in the New World.

"Which means that guy already knew this would happen through some contact..." Shanks frowned.

"And knowing that dragon, it's very likely he's going to intercept Whitebeard..." Benn Beckman concluded.

"So he plans to fight Whitebeard..." Shanks murmured with a serious look.

"The Marines aren't being hasty..." Benn Beckman analyzed.

"What do you mean?" Yasopp asked.

"The Marines won't have to just deal with Whitebeard, but also his son's crew, Yasopp..." Benn Beckman commented.

"Luffy?" Lucky Roux asked.

"That makes sense... Luffy would never let his brother be executed..." Yasopp commented.

"Besides..." Benn Beckman continued, "Luffy can't be considered to have the strength of a Yonko, but certainly his entire crew has such strength..." he reasoned.

"The Marines are overloading themselves... But I still doubt they would do this without a plan... they know that Luffy being as notorious as he is now... they will be prepared for him with the World Government..." Shanks spoke calmly.

"What will we do, captain?" Lucky Roux asked.

He sighed and looked seriously at everyone. "Prepare the ship. We are not going to Marineford, after all, this is something Whitebeard must resolve alone, and it would be an insult to interfere in this fight, but still, we will stop Kaido and leave the way clear so that Newgate can save Ace." he spoke seriously as everyone began to move. "It's time to sail to the beginning of the New World." And so they departed.

Elsewhere in the New World, amidst the waters.

On the ship of the main target of this war, the news fell upon all the division captains and all their subordinates, while Whitebeard stared fixedly at the newspaper fallen at his feet with the picture of Ace imprisoned.

"Pops, what will we do?" one of the captains asked cautiously.

Whitebeard waited for a moment and looked seriously at all his crew. "Isn't it obvious? We will rescue Ace," he said firmly.

Whitebeard then stood up, grabbing his weapon and striking it against the floor, making the entire ship tremble. "Listen everyone, summon all our allies in our fleet. We are going to Marineford, and even if we have to destroy the Marines, we will save Ace!" he shouted as everyone exclaimed, preparing for war.

The countdown to the war began at that moment, 7 days starting from today... the war would start, and the world was beginning to prepare for such an event. Ships from all over the Grand Line went to Sabaody with journalists to cover this war. After all, that location would broadcast all the images of the war, an idea by Sengoku to show the power of the Marines.

But it wasn't just Sabaody; several points around the world would have their own screens to show how the Marines eliminate the world's strongest pirate.

In Marineford.

"You finally arrived from Impel Down... Garp..." Sengoku commented, looking at his old friend. He didn't look the same, appearing ten years older.

"I resolved my things..." he said after going to Impel Down twice in a row.

"I can understand... family is a complicated thing, but you know it was the best thing to do..." Sengoku commented with a rarely reciprocal tone, even after everything that was happening to him.

"I know... but I'm afraid she won't see the Marines with the same eyes..." he commented.

"She will understand..." Sengoku said, and Garp nodded as he began to leave the room.

Sengoku didn't stop him as he closed the door and sat in his chair. His Den Den Mushi rang from the medical wing at that moment. "Hello."

"Fleet Admiral! We have a discharge with the Shichibukai Doflamingo!" the doctor said.

"He woke up! That's good!" Sengoku exclaimed, as one of their forces finally came out of the coma.

"But sir... he is not in a good mood, he doesn't let anyone get close..." said the doctor with some fear. Doflamingo was not having an easy time... He lost the fingers of one hand and the other arm, waking up severely injured... he would stay that way forever, so his hatred for that group was all that filled his mind at that moment.

"Damn... I'll come by later." Sengoku said and hung up the phone. Sengoku sighed, "At least one less problem..."

"The war is coming, and this was the opportunity I've always wanted to create, a fight that can destroy the great era of pirates, showing the power of the Marines and the World Government to the entire world. Roger's era will finally come to an end with the fall of these two groups!" he murmured while looking at a poster of Whitebeard and another of Monkey D. Luffy side by side on his desk.
