Your POV:

*On the island of Marineford, where Marine Headquarters is located, there's a large city that houses the families of the soldiers. Those residents have been evacuated. They watch on monitors at Sabaody Archipelago. As the execution draws ever nearer, reporters and cameramen from all over the world gather. They stand ready to send word to the world at a moment's notice.*

Reporter: Hey, look ! They're bringing Ace out !!

*The patrol ships sent out by the marines have all been sunk. Whitebeard has yet to be sighted, and tension at Marineford is running high. The execution slowly draws closer. Only three hours remain.*

Officer: DON'T BE NERVOUS !! No matter what happens there's only three more hours ! THEN IT'LL ALL BE OVER !!

*Well-known marines have been gathered from all over the world. In all, over 100.000 elites are there, waiting for the final battle. Fifty battleships are stationed around the crescent-shaped bay and island. Countless heavy cannons are set up along the coast. And, at the very front of the troops, visible from the port.

Stand the five villains who hold the key to the battle. The royal Shichibukai.

And, at the rear of the plaza, atop the towering execution platform, the center of the incident, the head of the second division of the Whitebeard pirates, Portgas D. Ace, awaits his fate. Before his eyes, protecting the platform, are the marine's greatest military force...

The three Admirals. All of the forces of justice imaginable have gathered to prevent Ace's rescue and wait for the Whitebeard pirates.*

Luffy: Hey, Jinbe !! I can already see the Gates of Justice ! That was fast !!

Jinbe: I'd say it was slow... If the wind was at our back, we'd have arrived already.

"And now for the question worth a gajillion berry: How the hell are we gonna open these gates ?"

Buggy: Alright, bastard, we're getting close !! Close to what ?!

Escapees: The time when Captain Buggy rules the world !!

Buggy: That's right !!

Sengoku: I'm going to tell them everything... All right, Garp ?

Garp: Do what you want. I'll be below.

Sengoku: Step back for a moment. And give me the dendenmushi...

Soldiers: Yes, sir.

Sengoku: ... ... Gentlemen, I have something to tell you. Portgas D. Ace... This man will die here today. And there is great meaning in that death...

Tsuru: ... None of this is your fault...

Garp: Buwahahaha, why are you being nice to me at a time like this, Tsuru ?!

Sengoku: Ace. Say the name of your father !

Ace: My father... Is Whitebeard !

Sengoku: No!!

Ace: It's true !! The only father I have is Whitebeard !! Nobody else !!

Sengoku: A long time ago, we were desperately searching. Because on some island somewhere, that man's child might be alive. Cipher Pol could only give us the smallest bit of information, so we checked all the newborn children, and all the children who were born soon after, as well as their mothers, and still, we found nothing. That could have been it... But your mother gave her life for your birth, using sheer willpower to perform a trick... ! She deceived us... No, she deceived the entire world !!

Sengoku: In South blue, there's an island by the name of Batelira. Your mother's name was Portgas D. Rouge. We never even imagined what she was capable of. Out of love for her child, she carried him in her womb for twenty months !! And when she finally gave birth, her strength gave out, and she died right there.

Sengoku: One year and three months had passed since the father died... A child was born with the blood of the world's greatest villain running through his veins. That child, was you. There's no way you don't know... ! Your father... WAS THE PIRATE KING, GOL D. ROGER !!

Garp: ... ...

Roger: My unborn child bears no sin, Garp ! Take care of my boy !

Spectators: F- Fire Fist Ace... IS GOL D. ROGER'S SON ?!

Reporters: This is huge news !! Send it to the main office right away !! Make it an extra edition !!

Reporter: ... It still lives... The pirate King's bloodline... !

Hancock: So he's not Luffy's real brother... ?

Soldiers: Roger's... Son... !!

Moria: So his real son managed to survive... ! This is a miracle ! Everybody even slightly associated with Roger was executed at that time !!

*Rayleigh, Shanks, Buggy: You okay bro ?*

Doflamingo: Ohh...

Koby: 'He... He said that he was Luffy's brother, so I thought his father was dragon... !'

Hermepp: 'So did I ! I guess that means they aren't related by blood !'

Garp: ... ...

Roger: Garp ! I'm gonna have a kid. It's too bad I'll be gone by then.

Garp: I'm a marine ! Why are you telling me that, Roger ?! All the women connected to you are going to be executed !

Roger: That's why I'm telling you. The government will be all over my footsteps for the next year. If they find her, she'll be killed ! But my unborn child bears no sin ! Garp ! We've faced each other dozens of times in battle ! That makes us comrades, right ?! I trust you as much as one of my own crew ! Protect him !!

Garp: Don't be so selfish !!

Roger: No... You'll do it... ! Take care of my child !

Sengoku: Was it two years ago now... ? You took your mother's name... Ans as the captain of the Spade pirates, you ascended through the pirate world with your superior strength... And we finally noticed... That Roger's blood has survived ! But Whitebeard realized it at the same time we did. And in order to raise you to be the next pirate king, he took his former rival's son onto his own ship... !

Ace: NO !! I JOINED HIS CREW TO MAKE WHITEBEARD THE NEXT PIRATE KING...

Sengoku: You're the only one who thinks that. We couldn't take any rash actions against you, because you were protected by Whitebeard !! If we left you alone, slowly but surely, you would start to gain the qualities to stand at the summit of the pirate world !! That's why there is so much meaning in cutting you down today !! EVEN IF IT MEANS TOTAL WAR WITH WHITEBEARD !!

Soldier: Fleet admiral Sengoku !! We have a report !! the Gates of Justice have begun to open without anybody's orders !! We can't contact the control room !!

Sengoku: What ?!

Luffy: It... It opened !!

Jinbe: What's going on ?!

"The gates of Justice... Are opening on their own !"

Luffy: Didn't that guy said that the gates wouldn't open ?!

"I know that ! It must be someone at Marineford controlling it !! But who... ?!"

Escapees: Eh ?!

Escapees: Ehhh ?! Ca... Captain Buggy ?! Could it be... ? Are you doing this... ?! You really are a prophet of God !!

Luffy: REALLY ?! BUGGY ?!

Three: WHAT'RE YOU PLAYING AROUND FOR ?! OF COURSE HE'S NOT DOING IT !!

Buggy: 'Who the hell is opening the gates ? No... ! It must be the Heavens ! Are they trying to make me the Pirate king ?!'

Officer: HERE THEY COME !! ALL MEN, TO YOUR BATTLE STATIONS !!

Sengoku: They appeared out of nowhere ! Where did they come from ?! It's a huge fleet of pirate ships !! The mad knight Doma, Thunder lord Makugal, the Dicalban brothers, the Whirlpool spider Squardo... ! What a force ! They're all infamous captains from the new world !!

Officer: There are 43 ships in total, but Whitebeard and his lieutenants are nowhere to be sen !! But make no mistake, they're all allied with Whitebeard !!

Ace: ... ... You guys too... !

Soldier: Do we open fire ?!

Officer: No !! Whitebeard must be somewhere close !! he must have some plan in mind ! Keep your eyes on the sea !

Doflamingo: Fufufufu !! Now this is interesting... I'm getting chills ! Come on out, Whitebeard !!

Sengoku: ... It can't be... !

Soldier: Eh ? Where's that coming from ?

Garp: He picked one hell of a place to appear...

Tsuru: We may have chosen a poor formation...

Soldiers: There's a shadow in the bay !! Could it be... ?!

Sengoku: I see, all of their ships... Had the coating applied to let them travel on the ocean floor... !!

Soldiers: UWAAAAHH !! IT'S THE MOBY DICK !! Three ships from the Whitebeard pirates are there too !! They've entered the bay !! The 14 divisions captains are all there !!

Sengoku: Whitebeard... !!

Whitebeard: Gurararara... How many years has it been, Sengoku ? My beloved son had better be unharmed !! Gurarararara ! You wait right there... Ace !

Ace: OLD MAN !!

Ivankov: We're through the gate ! Now then, my concern is whether your and Ace's father is going to show up here or not !

Luffy: Mine and Ace's ?

Ivankov: 'Well, I hardly think Dragon would do nothing when Ace, his own son, is about to be executed...'

"Oh, right, that ain't something a lot of people know about. Luffy ?"

Luffy: Yeah, Ace and I don't have the same father ! Ace's father is Gold Roger ! he's never met him though, kinda sucks, huh ? He gets pretty mad if you bring it up, mind you.

All: WHAAAAAAAA ?!!

"Well, this was supposed to be a secret, but screw that."

All: WHAAAAAAAA ?!!

Sengoku: To think that he would show up right under our noses in an instant...

Soldiers: What ?! The air is cracking ?! Look at the height of that wave !! There's one on the other side, too !!

Sengoku: A seaquake !!

Ace: Old man... Guys... Even after I ignored your warnings and ran out on my own... WHY COULDN'T YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN ABOUT ME ?! IT'S MY OWN FAULT I ENDED UP LIKE THIS... !!

Whitebeard: No.. As I recall, it was I who told you to go after him, my son.

Ace: ... !! You liar !! What the hell are you talking about ?! I ran out out back then even though you told me to...

Whitebeard: I told him to go. Isn't that right, Marco ?

Marco: Indeed. I heard it with my own ears ! We're sorry for putting you through this trouble, Ace ! I think everyone in the whole ocean ought to know... JUST WHAT HAPPENS TO ANY DAMNED FOOL WHO LAYS A HAND ON A MEMBER OF OUR CREW !!

Crew: WE WON'T LEAVE A SINGLE ONE OF THOSE BASTARDS WHO HURT YOU ALIVE, ACE !! YOU JUST WAIT !! WE'RE COMING TO GET YOU !!

Aokiji: That's some enemy we've earned ourselves there...

Akainu: The hell are you blabbering about at this stage... ?

Kizaru: This certainly is unpleasant... So scary...

*BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR*

Soldiers: What is this rumbling ?!

Garp: Here it comes... The seaquake that he caused just now... Is coming back as a full-fledged tsunami... ! Edward "Whitebeard" Newgate... user of the Gura Gura no mi, an earthquake man !!

Sengoku: We may have the greatest force, but we must not take this opponent lightly !! It may well be us who will meet our end here today... For that man... HAS THE POWER TO DESTROY THE WHOLE WORLD !! The war... IS BEGINNING !!

*On the attack: A fleet of 47 New World pirate ships, under the banner of Whitebeard. On the defense: Two of the greatest government's powers... Marine Headquarters and the Shichibukai. No matter who prevails, no matter who fails... the world is about to change !*
