Third Person POV

Marineford, First Half of Grandline.

...

...

In the middle of the sea, a ship was sailing as a pirate group approached Marineford. Shanks looked up at the sky darkening in the distance as the shadow of a huge serpent circled above.

"Shanks! What can we do, that's Kaido!" exclaimed one of the crew members on the ship.

Shanks watched with a furrowed brow. "What's going on there? Why are so many of them heading to Marineford too?" he said with a grim look.

"Yes, it seems this war is bigger than expected... he's already the third one. First that old man, then that guy, now Kaido himself. I thought we had dealt with him with that madness in the New World, but it wasn't enough," Beckman said in a very serious tone.

"We should hurry," Shanks murmured, contemplating the possibility of heading alone to Marineford, but it would be too risky for him to get involved by himself, and it was better to go with his crew. "Full speed ahead!" Then, he just asked to speed up the ship and so they quickly headed towards the eye of the storm forming at that moment.

Meanwhile, in Marineford, the smoke from the explosion made everyone running to the frozen bay freeze in place, wondering what was happening, as the smoke began to settle.

"Who is this? What's happening here?" Lucy exclaimed a bit lost as Ace beside her, Robin, and the others all stopped in the midst of all that smoke, sensing the danger there.

"Who is this?!" asked Jozu with a furrowed brow, while the other commanders and pirates from Whitebeard's fleet looked confused, even the marines were a bit in that state, except for the Haki users who were practically frightened as a shadow emerged from the midst of that destruction, the others didn't quite understand what it was.

"It's really disappointing to see how the navy has come to this state while all its greatest forces are being hindered by rookies who have just entered the sea, but I can't blame them," the voice echoed across the battlefield as someone emerged with a cane from a small hole he had created. "Even our holy knights and Kong are defeated."

"An old man... Who is this old man?" Lucy asked a bit confused, while almost no one there knew the identity of that man in that place.

"I don't know... I've never seen him..." said a marine, facing such an unlikely scene in the middle of that place, as he tapped the ground with his cane.

"It's just an old man... let's just kill him!" said a pirate.

"Don't make any moves!!" shouted Fossa as he put his hand in front of that pirate.

"Why not, let's finish him off!" the pirate insisted.

"You don't understand! My instincts tell me to get out of here as quickly as possible!" exclaimed Fossa again.

In Sabaody, people also looked a bit confused, not understanding what was happening there.

"Who is this old man?" Kid, with the same confusion about that new character on the screen, asked among the pirates.

"Does anyone know him?" a reporter looked at his colleagues as he shook his head negatively, not recognizing him either.

"I don't know, I've never heard of this man. Even the navy doesn't recognize him..." another reporter said.

"Maybe he's a pirate too?" people began to wonder as they talked to one another, some saying he was a lost member of Whitebeard's crew, others saying he was the navy's secret weapon.
