Zero POV

My small skiff reaches Marineford just in time. I've gotten rid of my frilly apron and instead am wearing my old marine coat I died black and made a huge red X over the marine emblem on the back.
I have thrown my chainsaw over my shoulder and walk onto the battle field. Casual. My coat dramatically swaying in the air I casually walk through the with anticipation shaking Whitebeard pirates and then raise my voice. "Edward!" His eyes bore into mine and they widen. "Zero." Sengokus voice announces my arrival. "On what side are you?", he asks me through the megaphone.
I stand sideways until I turn and face the platform they have Ace chained up on. "Ace!" His eyes find mine. The same dark eyes like fathers. The same kneeling position. "Do you want to live? Do you want to live with your family? Live up to the name of the man you hate even though you don't know him?" His eyes water. "My name is Gol D. Ace. And I want to live!!!" "My name is Gol D. Zero. And I want him to live. Now.... Die!" the chainsaw roars and I dash forward. The chains teeth bite down into the flesh and tear through it with ease. Haki coats the entire my entire body. My observation Haki is heightened to a maximum. My emperors Haki, me being one of the few able to use it, makes men collapse all around me as I push forward. I don't take notice of the battle around me. I only kill. Kill. Kill. Kill.
Kizaru is the first admiral to attack me. I chuckle. "You are beneath me. Know your place, admiral." With that the chainsaw takes both of his legs and arms, leaving him roaring in pain. My hands grab on tightly onto my chainsaw. "I should have noted the chain is made from seastone.", I grin and then take his head before facing... Aokiji. Dad. He looks at me. "You aren't going to stop, are you?" I shake my head. He nods, places a kiss on my forehead and a stray tear leaves my eye. "We'll see each other in the new world. OI. SENGOKU! I WON'T FIGHT MY OWN DAUGHTER. I QUIT." I smile at him, kiss his cheek. "Stay safe, dad." With that I ready myself for the ongoing fight. In all of the chaos I see that Ace is with the Straw hat. His little brother. And Aiknu is about to attack. I run. Ace gets ready to shield his brother when I punch against the magma fist with my own Haki coated one. "Ace! Ruffy. Help Whitebeard." "Zero-nee." "NOW!" The two run off and I grin, even though his Magma hurts and burns. "You know you marines always don't remember the most important things. I was given an artificial devils fruit. You can't create it twice. But I'll show you its powers before you die. The blood on the ground suddenly soars through the air and pierces his heart, stomach, lungs and head. He collapses onto the ground. Dead. I grab my chainsaw and run over to Edward. "I can't take my eyes off you for one second can I?", I chuckle as I make the wounds in Edward chest close up, flesh soon growing. I then face Blackbeard and send spears of blood.

Thump.
Thump.
Thump.
Thump.
Thump.

He and his crew all drop to the ground. Dead. The marines flee while I turn to hug my baby brother. He burrows his face in my neck, tears streaming down his face. "Was our father really a good man?" "He killed. He robbed. He stole. But he cared deeply for his crew and us. For mom. He would have loved to meet you, but he would have died from sickness anyways. Cancer was eating him alive. The last two years of his life I spent on deck of the Oro Jackson. He sang me to sleep every night. And every day he would carry me on his shoulders, tell me tales of how he came that far or teach me how to say any bad word you can imagine. Father was the best man. Not just a good one." I hug him closer as he starts to cry. I rest my head against his and smile. "If you want to know him call me anytime and I'll tell you everything you want to hear. Everything I remember.", I smile. He nods, when I hear Marco gasp. "Your hands." I look at them. They are burned horribly. Red and bleeding. The skin has started to bubble at some parts. Ace holds them gently, staring up at me and crying. "I'm so sorry.", he whispers and I shake my head. "I wanted to protect you. For all I care they could have taken them off and I wouldn't care. I'm older than you Ace. You've got a world to see still. I've already seen all of the shit it has to offer. I don't care about what happens to me as long as you are safe." His tears drip onto my burned hands and sting terribly but I don't flinch. I only smile at him. I'm so proud of him. I love him so much. He only stares at them. "No. Look at me. Its fine. Its fine." I kiss his forehead and embrace him again. "Could it be that you healed me with the bit of strength you had left?", Edward asks and hits the bullseye. I nod slightly. "It'll take a few days. Maybe weeks. I don't know. But I'm fine. Do not worry. As long as you two are alright I am too. You are family. If I would have had to watch my last family member get executed like dad and again not be able to do anything to save him I would have slit my own throat and let myself bleed out." "You watched father get..." I nod. "I was.. 3 or 4 I believe. Silver Rayleigh held onto me tightly when dad walked past us. He handed me a small necklace. I still have it today. The pendant opens and inside is a photograph of him and me. I understood what was going on. And I was sobbing. They put him on a platform just like that. Made him kneel down. They asked if he'd like some last words. "You want my treasure? Try and find it. Somewhere I have hidden the greatest treasure of the world.", he said. And I watched as the swords stabbed his heart. Rayleigh had to hold me back from running to him. He brought me to an orphanage and 2 weeks later I was adopted by Kuzan. Or Aokiji.", I finish and he looks up at me. "I'm sorry I was too weak to win against Blackbeard." "Don't be. Everything happens for a reason. Now. I should go. They will come after me. After all I probably mowed down more that half of their men and two admirals on my own. Edward. Keep him safe. Stay safe. We are family, right? If anything happens you call me. And I will come and do whatever it takes to save you." My old friend nods and ruffles my hair. I place one last kiss on Aces hair, then grab my chainsaw and make my way to my skiff. Some pirates come up to me and thank me. I thank them back for wanting to safe my brother. Even Jozu who always seemed to be sceptical around me thanks me. And I smile at him, shake my head and tell him that they did well too. Its not all thanks to me.
Then I ride off in my skiff. The adrenaline has left my body and my hands hurt like hell. I cringe and close my eyes until....
