Pirates: Dangerous Options in My Brain

Marineford Battlefield.

The sounds of shouting, fighting, and screaming continued unabated.

Marco, who had barely managed to hold off Kizaru, was now lying on the ground, exhausted. Blue flames flickered over his body, healing his wounds.

"That guy… suddenly started hitting harder…" Earlier, he had kicked Kizaru away and thought the Admirals weren't that strong, but now…

"He's really tough…" Marco struggled to stand up, looking around at the crew fighting desperately against the Marines. He then turned to the now-empty execution platform.

"Has Ace been rescued…"

It's time to order a retreat.

"Little Oars!" Marco shouted loudly.

At the same time, on the battlefield, the giant Little Oars, who had been a target for the Marines' bombardment for nearly twenty minutes, turned around quickly upon hearing Marco's call, kicking away hundreds of Marines. "Marco!"

"Little Oars, Ace has been rescued. Quickly cover the crew's retreat!"

"Got it!" Little Oars pounded his chest, laughing excitedly.

"Ace, Ace!"

Boom!

Swinging his flail, he smashed the Marines in front of him into pulp. The Seventh Division Captain, Rakuyo, also laughed and shouted, "Brothers, cover Ace's retreat!"

"Protect Pops and Ace!"

The passionate shouts echoed across Marineford. Seeing a glimmer of hope, the pirates fought even harder and began retreating towards the island's edge.

…

"Is the war ending?"

In the rear.

The pirates guarding the ships clenched their fists, overwhelmed with excitement as they saw their comrades starting to retreat.

"Great!"

"Ace must have been rescued, right?" a bearded man asked.

A pirate with a telescope nodded, "It's Larvin, Loget Larvin, that Marine… no, that pirate with a 500 million Beli bounty, really brought Ace out."

"Yahoo!"

Everyone started cheering.

Even Aili jumped up in excitement, "I knew he could do it!"

"Aili, your fiancée is amazing."

"After we rescue Captain Ace, we must have Pops recruit him into the crew."

A guy like that has to join the Four Emperors' crew to truly shine, right?

Besides, he's going to be Aili's husband…

"Wait, the Admiral is coming again!" the pirate with the telescope shouted.

"What?!"

The atmosphere on the ship grew tense.

"Ace and Larvin… have been stopped by Admiral Kizaru…"

The pirate lowered the telescope, swallowing hard, his face filled with terror. "Captain Ace… his chest has been pierced by that guy!"

All the pirates: ╭(°A°`)╮

…

"Ah!"

A scream.

Blood splattered into the air.

Seeing Ace lying on the ground, his right chest pierced by Kizaru's light beam, vomiting blood, Vivian was shocked.

What the heck, Kizaru, you're sAilious?

Is this really you?

Weren't you just a clock-punching worker?

You've changed, Kizaruserious

You're not a Revolutionary Army spy at all!

Vivian ranted internally.

"Ace!" The Whitebeard Pirates roared in anger upon seeing this, their eyes filled with rage as they glared at Kizaru, the culprit.

"Damn bastard!"

"Kizaru, let Ace go, or I'll kill you!"

Diamond Jozu, who was being attacked by several Vice Admirals, headbutted Maynard away and charged towards Ace without looking back.

"Ace!"

Whitebeard, clashing fists with Akainu, frowned upon seeing this, his expression filled with worry.

"Is this the time to worry about others?"

Akainu's magma fist smashed into Whitebeard's arm, instantly covered in Armament Haki. With a dull thud, the fist's tip embedded itself into Whitebeard's chest.

"Father!"

Marco, flying in the air, shouted upon seeing this.

"Getting distracted on the battlefield can cost you your life, Whitebeard!"

Akainu grinned menacingly.

Whitebeard, seemingly unfazed by the pain, grabbed Akainu's head and smiled. "Magma brat, when I first set sail, you were still sucking on your mother's tits."

Crack!

The air shattered.

Even the ice surface created by Aokiji began to crack.

"Children!"

"Father?!"

"This is my final order to you… take Ace and leave here!"

His voice carried a tragic tone.

Knowing what Whitebeard intended, the division commanders wept upon hearing their captain's last command.

As he spoke, Marineford tilted, flipping over.

Tens of thousands of people, including Ace and Kizaru, fell as if weightless.

Seeing everyone about to fall towards the pirate ships, Kizaru, understanding Whitebeard's plan, transformed into a beam of light, shooting towards the handcuffed Ace.

"Don't touch him!"

Jozu, covering his body in diamonds, blocked Kizaru's light beams in front of Ace.

At the same time, Aokiji, having shaken off Hancock, used Moonwalk to reach Jozu and Ace, freezing Jozu's non-diamond side.

"Ice Time!"

"Jozu!"

Ace cried out.

"Gurararara!"

Holding Akainu's head, Whitebeard unleashed his full power, looking at the hole in his chest and laughing boldly.

"Father!"

Tears streamed down.

Seeing Vivian reaching out to catch him, Ace seemed to realize something and kicked Vivian away.

The next moment.

Boom!

An explosion echoed.

Vivian, thrown away and confused, saw Ace, now a bloody mess with unfocused eyes.

"Farewell, Father…"

"Luffy…"

"And… everyone…"

He murmured.

"That guy…"

Did he detonate the bomb I gave him?

Vivian's eyes widened in shock.

Watching the scene, Vivian felt all his efforts had been in vain.
