[Chapter Size: 1800 Words.]
Third Person POV

Marineford, First Half of Grandline.

...

...

The ship burst the coating they used to travel underwater, while Newgate looked at the Marine fortress with a smile.

"Look, it's the 14 division commanders...!" someone shouted to the group on the Moby Dick.

"Gurararararara. It's been a long time, Sengoku. I hope my beloved son is well..." Whitebeard spoke while Sengoku continued to grit his teeth, with Whitebeard gaining the upper hand in his strategy.

"Ace..." Whitebeard returned to Ace once more. "Just hold on a little longer..."

"..." Ace was in inner turmoil, looking at the ship in front of Marineford, feeling guilty as he knew many of them would die there today. It was an agonizing feeling for him, gritting his teeth as hard as he could.

"You..." His gaze fell on the crew on the deck: Marco, Jozu, Vista, Izo, Fossa, Namur, among many other division commanders looking at him at that moment. The same could be said of all the members belonging to the divisions, even those of lower rank; they were all his family, members who shared happy and sad moments over the years.

There was also the fleet approaching Marineford by sea, following with determined faces on their leading ships, as Ace could see. Even though their chance of dying there today was high, they still held their heads high.

His gaze lowered once more to the Moby Dick and fell on the man at the bow of that ship; Whitebeard had been watching him the entire time. Ace's eyes welled up with guilt as he looked at his father.

"You shouldn't have come!!" he immediately shouted, tears streaming down. "I ignored the warnings and left the ship. Why didn't you abandon me, after all? I'm here because of my own choices, my fault. You shouldn't be here; no one should die because of me...!" He said, placing his head on the ground, burdened by the guilt of all these consequences.

"Who let you go was me. Of course, your safety is my responsibility... My foolish son..." Whitebeard responded calmly.

And before Ace could reply, he put his weapon aside and crossed his arms. With a movement that most couldn't understand, he swung his arms to each side with clenched fists, and the next moment they stopped, with cracks beginning to distort the space like breaking glass with the same sound.

All those who didn't know the terror of the Gura Gura no Mi tried to guess what would happen next. Then the sea began to change on both sides of Marineford, starting to grow taller and taller, even covering the highest part of Marineford.

"What is that?!"

"The sea, it's a giant wave!"

"Is this the power of the strongest man in the world?!"

The marines quickly began to exclaim with terror growing before them, but suddenly, everything began to descend, and without understanding, the sea was returning to normal the next moment.

Everything seemed normal after that, while the marines were confused, the pirates were silent, as if waiting for something, until the marines noticed the edge of Marineford changing the sea level. From afar, they could see something coming.

"This is the power of the Gura Gura no Mi. The power of the earthquake..." Garp commented.

"We don't just have Gold Roger's son to eliminate, but Whitebeard himself. After all, he has the power to destroy the world!" Sengoku declared.
