Chapter 14 : Internal Conflict

The ship tore through the relentless waves, the force of your water manipulation propelling it forward at a breakneck pace.

Sabo, clutching you tightly, felt the overwhelming surge of speed. His face turned an alarming shade of green as the ship's unrelenting movement churned his stomach into turmoil.

"Y-Y/N-Nee Chan," he stammered, his voice trembling with a mix of nausea and desperation. "Please, can we just... slow down for a moment?"

His plea tugged at your heartstrings, but you couldn't afford to heed it. Your determination to reach Marineford in time to aid your brothers was unwavering. You couldn't stop, not even for a second.

The hours had melded into an indistinguishable blur, and your exhaustion had long reached its peak. Yet, you couldn't rest, not when so much hinged on your arrival.

With each passing moment, your thoughts raced, anxiety gnawing at the edges of your mind. The impending battle weighed heavily on your thoughts, and your roles within it were a constant source of stress.

The possibility that, by the time you reached Marineford, Luffy might have already liberated Ace flickered as a glimmer of relief. Still, it was tempered with caution.

Marineford was a cauldron of conflict, a battlefield where powerful adversaries clashed with destructive might. Among them, one figure loomed with particular dread: Admiral Akainu.

The thought of facing Akainu sent shivers down your spine. His magma-based Devil Fruit powers made him a formidable adversary, and you couldn't afford to underestimate him.

While you trusted Sabo's swiftness to snatch Ace and Luffy to safety, the responsibility of confronting Akainu was a weight you felt with every heartbeat.

As you mentally mapped out the anticipated battles, the chaos of the impending war intensified your stress. Kizaru against Marco, Aokiji against Jozu, and countless other confrontations would determine the war's outcome.

Amid this maelstrom, one presence stood out like a dark specter: your father.

Ohhhhhhhh, he will have your head when he finds you did not sit well with you.

The mere thought of facing him amidst the chaos of battle was paralyzing. You knew he would be seething with fury when he discovered your presence at Marineford, and the inevitable confrontation weighed on your mind like a crushing boulder.

Despite the fear that gripped you, you pushed it aside, focusing on the task at hand. You had to trust in your instincts, they have not once failed you. With Ace and Luffy's safety hanging in the balance, there was no room for hesitation.

As the ship raced forward, you could feel the stress in every fiber of your being. The battle ahead loomed with unprecedented ferocity, and the weight of responsibility pressed heavily upon your shoulders. The fate of your chosen family, your brothers, and even the outcome of the war itself rested on your determination and sacrifice.

Welp, there was no turning back now. The storm of battle awaited, and you were prepared to weather it, no matter the personal cost.

Upon your arrival at the battlefield at Marineford, chaos reigned. Luffy fought valiantly to free Ace from his impending execution.

The two brothers stood side by side, their determination evident in their eyes.

As Sabo watched from the sidelines, his heart swelled with relief. Tears of joy streamed down his face as he witnessed the bond between Luffy and Ace, and the fact that they were finally fighting together.
