Ace rubs the blood off his lips with the pad of his thumb. The battle was still going strong and with each passing second he was filled with more resolve. He watched as Marco and Jozu were attacking Blackbeard and was about to join them.

"Marines! Dozens of Marine ships are coming from all four sides with Admirals on every ship!" One member of Blackbeard's crew yells. "We can't find the other ship either!"

"Shit," Ace mutters and looks at Marco who jumps back. The other commanders are also looking at the first division commander for guidance.

"Retreat!" Marco tells them. "We've been fighting all day, we stand no chance against multiple Admirals." He then looks to Blackbeard with hardened eyes and a low voice, "this isn't over."

"I didn't expect it would be. I don't want to fight against the Admirals right now either," he admits. "Say? Why don't we work tog-"

"Not a chance in hell!" Marco hisses.

"Just a suggestion." Teach puts his hands up in mock surrender.

The division commanders run back to their ship and immediately set out to sea. Izou was behind the wheel as the others focused on fighting the enemy and creating a path before they were blocked in.

"Fire Fist!" Fire shoots onto a Marine ship and Marco flies over to fight the admiral on board. Ace looks towards the second ship on the other side of them. "I'll take care of that ship! Izou, go between them! That's our exit route!"

"Don't have to tell me twice!" Izou calls out.

"I'm going with Ace!" Jozu informs and Ace nods along in acknowledgment.

"I'll go help Marco. He doesn't need it but I won't chance anything," Haruta tells them right before jumping onto the Marine ship.

"I got things covered here so go," Vista pulls out his swords and jumps up to cut a cannon ball in half.

Ace and Jozu nod. They look toward the enemy ship and get a running start. They jump into the air blowing through the cannon balls the shot their way. The duo land on the ship and look at the enemy with a playful smirk.

The battle ended a while ago. The escape of the Whitebeard pirates went off without a hitch. However they were all slightly dejected from the failure of not defeating their enemy.

Haruta kicks the dust with a downturned face, "what a bummer."

"Who knew Teach got that strong? No wonder Ace lost," Jozu teases the fire devil fruit eater.

Ace raises his fist with fire encasing it as a threat towards Jozu who only chuckles in return. "Shut it! I almost had him." He pouts.

"It's not nice to lie Ace," Izou pipes up with a small smirk. "We all know I would've had the last hit."

The peaceful ship erupts in protest. They all started yelling and disputing the man in makeup. Even Marco who was usually calm headed had to disagree with this statement.
