Continuing where we left off.
Whitebeard and I stand head to head against the Navy while the entire island is shaking and falling apart. Whitebeard's pirates beg their father to leave too, but Newgate just tells them all to leave.
- Saito, let's go too! - Luffy shouted and I was surprised to hear him asking me to come along, but I promised something that I won't go back on.
- No! You're leaving with your brother! Don't worry I'll be fine. - I say this starting to walk towards the Admirals with a smile.
- Alright. Who of you should I face? You know what, I choose it myself! You are the first Sengoku! - I say this already advanced towards him and the admiral leader transforms into a buddha.
- Don't underestimate us boy! - Sengoku said.
- Then try to defeat me! - I say this as I go to throw a punch and our attacks have a big impact, but at the same time my feet get cold and I look to the side seeing Akoiji.
- Ahh.... Got it, so are you all going to fight together? A little unfair, don't you think? - I say this appearing behind Akoiji in the blink of an eye.
- This will make things more interesting! - I say this by cutting Akoiji into several pieces of ice and he even comes back at the same moment, but I punch him making his ice go away.
- Now all that's missing is you Kizaru! - I say this by attacking him right away and the Admiral shooting a ray of light that didn't do anything at me.
- Come at me with everything Admirals!!! - I say this coming into shock with Kizaru's light sword attack. All this happens and I am smiling with joy.
During my fight against two admirals at the same time, I ended up not noticing in time that Akainu was already starting to provoke Ace and Ace himself was already approaching Akainu.
💭No, no, no, no, no! This is not good! I have to-
Sengoku interrupts my thoughts by using his power to put pressure on the ground I'm standing on.
- Tch! Get out of my way! - I shout this, punching Sengoku, but at the same time Kizaru appears and shoots a large beam of light that makes me fly away.
💭Shit!!! Shit! I have to be on time!
The moment I get up I see Luffy and Ace on their knees before Akainu and my heart is racing seeing this. Already knowing what will happen fills me with fear and nervousness.
💭 NO! NO!!! I HAVE TO STOP HIM BEFORE THE WORST HAPPENS!!!
Before I can run to the two, Akoiji appears next to me and touches my shoulder, freezing me instantly. But the moment I free myself from the ice and look at the brothers I see what I feared most happening before my eyes... Ace's death.
What I wanted to avoid the moment I knew what world I'm in happens in front of me even though I could have avoided it.
- ... - I can't say anything, I just let go of Yoru and fall to my knees in pure shock at what is happening.
💭Ace... Died..... He's dead..... And I didn't stop him....
For me, the whole world stopped and I completely lost track of what was happening around me. Inside my mind the scene of Ace's death is repeating itself over and over like a movie.
"I could have avoided it, I have the power to avoid it" these phrases repeat inside me like an echo reminding me how incompetent I am.
So many feelings are flowing inside me that even my body went into a state of emergency, but the moment I heard Luffy's cry echoing in my ears was when I only felt one thing and that is...
Hatred.
(A/N:I recommend you put on the song from Berserk - The Brother definitive version or a song from DOOM or the song from Bleach - Vasto lorde. Trust me, it will improve the experience.)
I clench my fists with pure hatred in my eyes and grind my teeth like a rabid beast.
💭HE WILL PAY DEARLY! YOU WON'T GET AWAY FROM THIS AKAINU!!!!
I pick up Yoru from the ground angrily and without me noticing the sword's blade turns scarlet red with some dark red rays coming out.
I get up on the ground and in the blink of an eye I'm behind Kizaru I punch him, which this time doesn't go through his body and he falls unconscious at the same time.
Soon after, I go straight to Sengoku who noticed my advance and the moment he was about to transform it was too late for him. Sengoku received several cuts all over his body. Garp just looks at me in shock.
Now my eyes are looking at my main target which is Akainu. The bastard who killed Ace.
- AKAINU!!!! - I scream his name like an uncontrolled beast and without wasting time I go to him, punching Akoiji who even tried to stop me, but he was just thrown out like a doll.
Just as Akainu was going to kill Luffy, his right hand was cut in half, catching everyone around him. Akainu recoils in pain and I stand in front of Luffy who completely blacks out due to the shock of seeing his brother dead.
- Jimbei!!! Get Luffy out of here now! Before I lose what little sanity I have left!!! - I shout this to the fish man who without question does what I say. I now walk towards Akainu. - How you cut off my arm! You don't know what- I interrupt him the moment he receives a kick in the stomach making him scream in pain.
Soon after, I punch the Admiral in the face, making him fall to the ground and at that moment, I release Yoru and get on top of Akainu and start beating him mercilessly.
Each punch he receives makes the crater deeper and Akainu receives many punches from me that even make the floor of the island shake, but by the time I was about to finish my fists are already stained with blood. I close my right fist and and ended up having a quick vision of the body of a girl with black hair and golden eyes on the ground covered in blood.
- Ahhhhh!!!!! - I let out a scream of anger and Akainu receives my last punch, which caused the island to be separated in half, giving distance to the pirates and sailors.
When this happens, I pick up Akainu who is completely exhausted, beaten, unconscious and missing an arm and throw him into the hole like trash.
Now that I have a little control over what I'm doing and I hear Whitebeard talking to me.
- You shouldn't have done that for me. - Said Whitebeard, not caring what I did to Akainu.
- Then you should have been faster. - I say this walking towards the remaining sailors.
- Come on, all you navy bastards! I will kill you all with this sword!!! - I scream this out of pure rage inside me and I begin the massacre.
I advance towards them and I practically painted the ground red from so many sailors who died trying to attack me. Some fell unconscious, others had their heads rolling and others were literally cut into several pieces. I have had no forgiveness and I have blood in my eyes.... Literally.
A large group of officers and vice admirals tried to attack me at the same time from all sides, but I just swung my sword to the side and all the bodies exploded into several pieces, causing a rain of blood that covered my entire body.
Sailors who witnessed all this fall to their knees with fear and despair in their eyes.
- H-He's not a h-human! He's a demon! A Green Demon!!! - Said a Sailor who soon lost his head.
- What did you say? I didn't hear it properly with your head hitting the floor. - I say this with a tone of hatred.
- I think I better show you all what it's like to be a real demon. - I say this by lifting Yoru up and holding her tight, preparing an attack.
- Sword style: Eclipse!!! - I swing the sword down and the moment it touches the ground a black red energy is created that cuts the navy HQ in half and even the clouds are cut in half.
The island is now separated into three pieces, many sailors falling into the abyss or being killed by the wreckage is really a nightmare for them and I just keep hearing them calling me a "green demon".
But all this stops the moment I see a very familiar person and the moment I recognize him I become furious.
- Teach..... - Whitebeard and I said with hatred in our voices.
Teach explains to Sengoku, who is still alive, that he became Shichibukai to enter Impel Dawn and catch the most wanted criminals, but Whitebeard, unable to bear Teach's anger, uses his power to make Teach fall from the stage he is on.
- You're the only one I refuse to call my son, Teach! You broke my only law.... Kill a companion! I will avenge the death of the fourth division commander, Teach, by taking this wretch's life! - Said Whitebeard, but he soon felt the pain of the illness and his wounds, Marco and I were going to help Yonko, but he stopped the two of us.
- Boy! Marco! Stay out of this!!! Let's get this over with, Teach! - Said Whitebeard.
The two begin to fight with Blackbeard having the advantage due to the state of Newgate and his fruit, however Whitebeard uses Teach's arrogance to his advantage and cuts his shoulder and then uses his fruit to crush Teach, but he survives.
Teach takes advantage of the fact that Whitebeard is weak and orders his men to kill Yonko, but I stand in the way and stop the attacks with my sword.
- Stay away from "Father", you miserable rats!!! - I say this by swinging Yoru vertically, hurting all of Blackbeard's men.
- Get out of the way, you brat! The old man told you not to interfere! - Teach shouted, making me grind my teeth and veins appear on my head.
-Leave Whitebeard alone! - I let out a roar that made black lightning come out near me and made thousands of pirates and sailors fall to the ground and Teach's men and even Teach himself fell to their knees before me.
- You're a rat that keeps hiding in the shadows, Teach! You don't even deserve to be a pirate because you're a coward! Take this fruit away from you, who becomes of you,Teach? You're just a fat man being driven by pure greed! I swear if you or one of your men lifts a single finger, I will send you all to hell!!! - I say this pointing Yoru at them, however my anger stops when Whitebeard puts his hand on my head.
- Calm down son. Don't let hate consume you completely. You're not him Teach..... The man Roger is waiting for.... It's definitely not you Teach! Just as there was someone who inherited Roger's will, someday, someone will emerge who will inherit Ace's! Even without blood ties, nothing will be able to extinguish these flames! And one day, in the future, carrying hundreds of years of history on their shoulders, someone will launch the challenge before the world! Sengoku! You are the world government, they fear the gigantic war that will one day take this world by storm. He doesn't interest me much, but.... When someone finds the treasure, the world will turn upside down! And I'm sure someone will find it! That day will come! - Whitebeard said with a smile and I didn't react.
- One Piece! It's real!!! - Whitebeard shouted, leaving everyone in shock except me. But what Newgate says makes me start to cry.
- Forgive me, my children.... I created a pathetic fool.... You gave me everything. This is my end. I've been sailing for too long..... It's been a long journey. Saito..... As my last son, I have a single order for you as your Captain. - Said Whitebeard and I don't respond.
- Explore the most of this world, have loyal companions, go on various adventures and create your fame as a pirate. And most importantly, live as much as your life allows you and don't be ashamed of deciding to create a family of your own. - Whitebeard said, looking at me not like a captain, but like a father saying goodbye to his son.
- I am very grateful to all of you... Goodbye my children. - Whitebeard finishes saying this and he dies standing up.
💭Even with this little time, I feel like I was already part of your crew....
After I recover I look at Teach and his men with anger in my eyes.
- I suggest you leave because there's going to be a massacre right now! - I say this walking towards them and Blackbeard gets up from the ground angrily.
- Damn you brat! Because of you, I won't be able to fulfill my goal! - Shouted Teach, who used his fruit on me, activating the black hole, then he comes to me and touches my neck.
- Hahahahaha!!! You may be powerful, but next to my fruit you are nothing! - Teach said that his arm was broken shortly afterwards.
- Did you really think I ate a fruit, Teach? I don't give a fuck if you're a Logia!!! - I say this by punching him, damaging him and then punching him in the air, sending his men flying.
After that I look at Sengoku who is standing and I can't stop feeling hateful inside me, it's the first time I've been this furious.
- There's only you in front of me, Sengoku. Kizaru is close to death just like Akainu and Akoiji probably won't even dare to attack me after so many failed attempts to stop me. Yet you are winning the war. Knowing this, I will take this island along with all of you! - I say this using Yoru making a black-red light cut that Sengoku defends, but he is cut right after, but he doesn't fall.
- My duty as leader of the navy is to protect this place with my life and to prevent demons like you from causing chaos in the city! - Sengoku shouted.
- Then try to protect this island from me!!! - I say this going to punch Sengoku, however Garp protected his leader from receiving the punch using his Haki.
- Then you'll get in my way too, Garp! - I say this irritated.
- I'm also a navy soldier. And I'm tasked with defending Marineford! - Garp declares.
- Then they die along with this damn island!!! - I say this shouting, moving forward to fight both of them
The fight between me, Sengoku and Garp was a fight that can be considered historic. Seeing the two strongest admirals having trouble dealing against me.
I didn't go easy on either of them, they received punches and even attacks from Yoru, but they didn't fall off the ground.
I admit I was holding back because even I'm slowly noticing what I'm doing. The destruction the three of us are causing is destroying the entire island. The sailors who are trying to help the admirals are being killed either by me or by the impact of the attacks.
Marineford was painted red with the blood of many pirates and sailors, but a boy who is fed up with this war decides to get involved in my fight.
- Let's end this now! Enough fighting! We are throwing lives in the trash! All soldiers have families and homes! We've already fulfilled our purpose, but we're still hunting fleeing pirates! We could stop, but greed stops us! We are abandoning soldiers who can survive, be treated in time! We are only increasing the number of victims. Soldiers who die like this... Aren't they acting like idiots?! - Said a familiar boy with pink hair.
- Hey, kid! Get out of my way. For some reason you seem like familiar to me, but if you don't do well, you'll do badly! - I say this scaring the boy who can't react due to being pure fear of me.
- So this is your choice? So die. - At the moment Yoru was going to cut the boy in half, someone appears and defends the boy. The impact of our swords clashing was such that it made the man's feet sink.
- You did well, young soldier. This moment of courage that you took the risk to create.... Good or bad, it has just drastically changed the future of the world. - Said a man with red hair.
- Now you, Young Saito. Put down your sword. There is no longer any need for you to fight the Navy. You have already done more than enough. I know the pain of loss is something great and painful, but don't throw away your captain's order. - Said the redhead who I immediately recognized as Shanks.
Slowly the anger and hatred that I had inside me begins to disappear and I can have control of my emotions again and I move away from Shanks and stay close to Whitebeard's body and I feel mentally tired on the ground.
- What did I do? - I say this a little breathlessly, looking at my hands which are full of blood and I remember the sailors calling them "green demon" and I let out a dry laugh.
- Hehehe.... From hero to demon..... How far I've fallen. I swore I wouldn't kill anyone, but all I had to do was not worry about my psychic powers and I went crazy. - I say this looking at the sky that I divided in half.
💭After all, who am I now?
To be continued...
