akatsuki in one piece

ch 46 : Make marine great again

No one knew when it happened, but now everyone was staring at the white beard. They couldn't believe what they saw, a sword pierced halfway into whitebeard's chest.

Blood splatered as the sword was pulled out, whitebeard turned his head and saw his son standing behind him with a blood stained sword.

Itachi watched the scene from a distance, a bitter memories flashed through his mind. Whitebeard moved closer to his son, unxepectedly the conflict ended with a hug. He couldn't understand why did white beard forgave him, or rather he didn't have anytime to think about that as whitebeard swung his arm, creating an earthquake at the marine fort.

Deep anger blazed within whitebeard's eyes as he jumped down from the ship Slowly he walked toward the admirals.

Akainu smirked knowing he had managed in luring whitebeard to enter the front line. Suddenly a marine ran toward whitebeard and punched him hard in the face.

To everyone's surprise whitebeard was thrown a few meters back from the impact. The marine took off his coat, purple hair fluttering in the wind as he swung his metal arm.

The ex admiral that was feared by the pirates, z made a contract with akainu. The marine promised a truce if he managed to defeat whitebeard. Z accepted the contract because whitebeard's defeat would spell the end of the pirate era.

Cloud of dust rose as whitebeard stood up, his eyes narrowed sadly at the marine infront of him.

" The day of pirates has ended" (Z)

The ex admiral ran and threw a punch. Whitebeard raised his hand, blocking the punch.

" Your hatred of pirates is justified, but not all pirates are bad." (White beard)

The impact of their punches cracked the ice below them, forcing them to take a step back. Z ran toward whitebeard.

" Good and bad are just prespective, i live by my own justice. The world would be a better place without them." (Z)

High pitched screech resound as z's metal arm hit white beard's arm. A story was told behind every punch, they had known each other for a long time. The z white beard knew was no longer here, infront of him was just a man trapped in his thrist for vengeance.

" I once admire your sense of justice, where are they now?! " (Whitebeard)

White beard punched z's face.

" I learn it the hard way, all of them are the same. Those pirates kill and pillage under your name. Whitebeard, your reign gave them reason to do unspeakable things. " (Z)

His word pierced deep into whitebeard heart. A punch landed right on whitebeard face knocking him back.

" Your defeat is a needed to end the great pirate era." (Z)

Whitebeard blocked z's punch with his hand.

" My death will not change them. They will still kill and do bad things even if i am not around. " (White beard)

Z bursted out laughing.

" Then i will just kill them all." (Z)

Their fist clashed once again, creating a greater impact than before.

" You will also kill innocent pirates?!" (Whitebeard)

White beard shouted at z.

" There is nothing like innocent pirate!!!" (Z)

Z shouted as he pushed whitebeard back.

" That boy chained on the platform. He had never killed anyone. Tell me what is innocent if you kill that boy!!!" (White beard)

His rage filled voice resound throught the marine fort. Z couldn't block whitebeard punch in time and was flung to the ground behind him.

He rolled on the ground before crashing into a big rock. Blood dripped down from z's mouth. He lay on the ground and lowered his head as if he was thinking about something.

" Maybe i was wrong about you" (z)

Z turned his head toward whitebeard.

" Am i finally getting through?" (Whitebeard)

Whitebeard walked toward z and helped him to stand up.

"We will rid this world of senseless killing, z" (white beard)

White beard brushed the dust on z's body and stretched out his hand.

" I was wrong, you are not evil." (Z)

Z took white beard's hand and hugged him.

" You are bat sh*t naive!!!!" (Z)

Z threw whitbeard over his shoulder. Whitebeard eyes widen as he watched the world turned upside down. Before he knew it he was lying on his back on the ground.

" Then we shall walk a different path." (Whitebeard)

Whitebeard ran toward z and swung his fist.

" Thats the only way for us." (Z)

Their fist clashed for the last time. The impact broke z's mechanical hand and whitebeard's bone. They fell to the ground, both taking a lot of damage.

Everyone in marine fort was quitely waiting for them. Slowly white beard stood up, raising his broken hand while declaring his victory.

Pain landed beside him and asked him if he is alright. Whitebeard said he could still fight, even though his body was covered in blood. Pain stared at the white beard in awe.

" How did you block his punch?" (Pain)

White beard answered his question.

" Haki son, it harden in response to physical trauma." (Whitebeard)

The pirates became more confident and began making their way toward ace. Sengoku and the other admirals were forced to go to the frontline to help the marines.
