>>"And I guess if I held your kids hostage you wouldn't try anything "crazy", huh?"

Yea, I get that Neptune is trying to keep us from turning the plaza into a charnel house, because he would be willing to do the exact same if Shirahoshi was in danger like that.

Good to be back, I've missed this whole thing.

Cause while I know what you mean, and yes we will, I'd also rather not accidentally Fishman island.

Though Neptunes words haven't managed to calm you down one bit they were plenty enough to shake you up just enough so that you can focus all your resentment.
"And I guess if I held your kids hostage you'd be calm too."

"T-That's-"

His faltering is all the answer you need. Without another word you morph your legs into a bats and start sprinting towards the exit, charging through anyone and anything that might impede your movement. You don't bother putting on your diving suit, rather you're satisfied with just one of the bubble corals as protection against the seawater. Once you're out of the island and in the black abyss you take one look up before using the seabed as a springboard. The bubble gets left behind as you shoot out of it and towards the surface. Even though the water paralyzes you it actually can't even stop your acceleration to the surface, only slow it down. Still you make it to fresh air in record time and don't waste a second making your way to Outer Heaven where a couple of greeters welcome you before they get stunned into silence.

Dripping wet with seawater and looking like you're ready for murder you march inside where apparently the whole city is in an uproar. Looks like the news made it even here. Many of the visitors are attempting to flee the island and in their mass panic they caused a great congestion and nobody can make it to their own ships. Even the dockworkers are overwhelmed by the crowd that gathered before them. But a select few, those who are not just passing by but whom have made Outer Heaven and those who have any sense of loyalty to you are frothing at the mouth. Their back and forth shouting only serves to amplify their outrage.

Your own crewmembers have already gathered at your seat of power and they too are arguing among themselves.
"It's obvious what the fuck we're gonna do! So why the fuck are we dicking around?!"

"Because it's not that simple Bloodhair."

"Excuse me but who the fuck told you that you get to have a word here you fucking suit?! Do you think we forgot how you're a traitorous whore that we should've killed the moment we caught you at that base?!"

Murray angrily smashes his anchor down on the table and breaks it into splinters.
"QUIET! Both of you! Captain on deck! Silver."
He gives you an acknowledging nod and the others quickly fall in line.

In return you frown at him.
"I want an explanation why you're not at the ship if you know what's going on!"

"Captain we-"

Clown then steps up.
"It's me."

You draw your sword and touch its tip to her throat.
"Is this another mutiny Clown?"

Pepe doesn't bother to move Argent away and remains perfectly calm.
"Hardly. But I believe you're not in any condition to make sound decisions so I need you to hear me out before we do anything hasty."

Returning your sword to its place you scowl at her.
"You got two minutes."

"Thank you."

"This better be good."

"Save your comments until I'm done chef."

"Silvers mom was captured by the marines and you want us to WAIT?! Are you fucking serious?!"

"WILL! Language!"

"Sorry mom."

Pepe sighs.
"Would you just let me explain myself?!"
The others exchange a frustrated look and shut their mouths.
"Thank you. Now as you've clearly demonstrated you're all fiercely loyal to Silver and want to help him in his time of need. That's good. But how exactly do you plan on doing that? By storming Impel Down and rescuing her, no doubt."

"Well yea-"

"Big mistake. And that's the problem. You're all too emotionally heated to think things through which will be disastrous for you. Eliza D. Silver is not in Impel Down."
The others erupt and start bombarding Clown with accusations and questions mostly pertaining to just how exactly she knows that.
"I'm not receiving reports from the government if that's what you're asking. It's simple logic. If you read the paper carefully you'll see that the execution is scheduled to be in a week. That means she's already been transferred to Marineford so that we couldn't intercept her transport. Secondly, and this is important, this tactic may seem familiar to how they announced Firefist Ace's execution but that couldn't be further from the truth. Silver is not Whitebeard, not even close. And Eliza is not the child of the Pirate King. The purpose of the news article is thus different. For Newgate, who has cultivated a reputation over the decades it was a declaration of war which forced him into fighting the Government on their terms. For Silver who is quite a bit more savage and doesn't care about his appearance this is a taunt. "We got someone you care about. Come and get her". This is obviously a trap."

"Thanks Clown for your opinion."
You respond.
"Disregarded."

"Listen to me! Eliza is at Marineford, for sure! And she's guarded by every single marine they can spare. In Impel Down there will be only a token force meant to serve as bait! I'm sure if you go there you'll be walking into a trap."

"Why would they go through so much trouble?"
Angel asks with her arms crossed.

"Because they don't want to ruin Silvers reputation, they want to eliminate or at the very least hurt him! And for the record I'm not telling you not to do anything. I'm saying that you need to act smart now!"

You ponder on her words for a moment.
"Are you sure she's at Marineford?"

"I'd bet my life on it."

"Good. Because that's what you're betting. We're heading for Marineford!"

Murray nods.
"Shall we send word for our allies?"

"If you do that you'll engulf half the world in war..."
Ann retorts.

>Yes. Call everyone.
>Tell them that those who don't stand with me stand against me.
>No. I will not wait a moment! We're going NOW!
>Other?

>>5531998
>Yes. Call everyone.
>Tell them that those who don't stand with me stand against me.

Yeah silver wouldn't hold anything back on this

>>5531998
>Yes. Call everyone.
>Ok Clown, you're smarter then me. You got any ideas?

I like how Clown is the detached one here and not because I don't think she cares but I mean this is what she used to do. A week is a long time, long enough to not just rush headlong into whatever beartrap they got prepared for us.

That said Angel, please, "Why would the Marines go through so much trouble to off the man who burned the holy land and stole Big Mom's throne" cmon girl, you're better then that.

So what are the other big players response to this gonna be do you think? like kaidos 100% gonna come and turn this war into a 3-way like he tried to do with the original marineford war but shanks stopped him, speaking of not sure whether shanks will actually try and stop him here he might as too contain the chaos like he did originally but if he knows luffy in wano he might let kaido go so luffy has an easier time, blackbeard might crash the party once everyones on the verge of death and pick up some strong DFs, any other major players we need to think about here?

>>5532010
hmm don't think the entire force of the revolutionaries would come but i wouldn't be surprised if a large subset bailed from whever they're assigned to come and support us, though in that case dragon himself might back us then if our supporters in the army are large enough so that them desertting would cripple the orginazation too much

>>5532010
Well lets see, the underworld probably wants both sides to lose so I wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of mercs got involved in and around the periphery.

But it is my hope that we run this much less like Marineford and much more like mission impossible/any old Schwarzenegger movie. Because Silver isn't stupid, he just thinks sideways, and once he calms down an inch he'l understand repeating Whitebeard isn't gonna work out for anyone but the marines

>>5532021
i highly doubt we'd be able to break her out, they're gonna have her locked down hard and especially with how ace almost got away last time they're gonna reinforce their defenses even more, like even if we did manage to sneak in get her out and escape it would not surprise me 1 bit if they have like implanted a bomb in her or given her somekind of poison that'll kill her anyway

>>5532030
Well lets see, off the top of my head:
Silver can manipulate sound, and make things very very quiet. We have a tunneling expert in Dexter, and a small nation of people used to transporting things underwater.
And also crabs who eat seastone.
But yea on the one hand it does sound like them...If they assumed Silver would do some sneaky shit. Silver is not famous for doing sneaky shit, despite evidence to the contrary, he is known for leaving big heaping piles of corpses laying about

And that's not going into the " sidestep the Marines by kidnapping world nobles and ransoming them back to the people who give the marines their orders" from the previous thread.

>>5532033
I mean i'd say silvers most famous act of waiting til the marines were busy and then going and instigating a slaughter in mariejoi is pretty sneaky

>>5531998
>>5532005
>>Yes. Call everyone.
>>Ok Clown, you're smarter then me. You got any ideas?

Supporting. Clown's the only one here using her brain, might as well take advantage.

>>5532040
That isn't sneaky, dat'z proppa brutal kunning dat iz.

Claun is smart
>writing

>>5532046
And the one who said "we need to be smart", might as well be a bit blithe while we can.

>>5532040
Yes, but they focus a lot less on that part and a lot more on the "Admiral banana-man and his nephew lopped his hand off so he went and instigated a slaughter in Mariejois" angle
In their mind they poked an animal and it bit back.
So now they're poking us with a sharp stick and waiting for the, in their mind, inevitable assault

>>5532075
the WG isn't like some hivemind, they don't all think the same, plus even if they do expect us to attack head on which i fully agree they do that in no way stops them locking her up tigh enough that the minute we even get within sight of her they're on our ass

>>5532078
Gods no, but there are a select few people in charge... Most of whom do not think of Silver as a cunning man. They see him as a brutal mass-murderer who gets what he wants through violence, the threat of violence and the indecently overwhelming application of violence.

Honestly and amusingly the lower ranked people, those who come to Outer Heaven or have friends who do probably have a less one sided idea of us.

>>5532078
like its not like them preparing for a frontal assault prevents them from defending her or like as said b4 planting a bomb in her or something, the WG is big enough to do both

You take a deep breath and manage to rein in your emotions long enough to notice the uproar going on down amidst the plebeians.
"SHUT UP!"
You roar and the brigands all quiet down.
"Continue Clown. You have my attention. I want to hear ideas since you're smarter than me."

"Well it's not that simple. If you're willing to use every asset under your disposal then we may have options but not many. It's unfortunate but we'll be outnumbered and outgunned regardless."

"So we don't fight fucking fair! I say we climb the Red Line again and paint it red with the blood of their dragons! That'll teach them!"

"A clever idea Bloodhair. If you didn't do it once already it may even work. They know it's within your capabilities to scale the mountain. They'll be prepared for it. The moment any one of their lookouts notices you they'll send a message to HQ to execute the convict. Not to mention that they probably already moved them somewhere safe. They've been quite diligent in ensuring a second accident can never happen."

"But you know them, right?"

"I was undercover for the past two years. All I knew are rumors. And since I'm a security risk they probably changed those since my "resignation". So no, I don't think we can leverage the world nobles."
She sighs.
"I'm afraid we have no way around actually dealing with the situation at hand."

"Get to the point Clown!"

"The point is... how many people are you willing to sacrifice? Obviously one option is to gather up your allies and storm Marineford like Newgate did. But a frontal assault will be bloody. The Marines learned their lessons and with someone as paranoid as Sakazuki at the helm who knows how far they went with preparations this time?"

"And the others?"

"Our other options are similar in nature and scope. They all involve using the people under your disposal to serve as a distraction while we find an alternate way of rescuing Eliza D. Silver. Many will die, likely more than even in a frontal assault because we won't be diverting any firepower. But we may have a better chance of achieving our objective. I'm afraid we don't have other options."

"There is one."
Your hear someone speak up from outside your circle and as you turn you see a certain someone approaching.

"Crocodile."

"Hello. It's me. You know, the person who's been in the Paramount War before. I came as fast as I could when I heard the news. Sorry for being late."

"What do you want?"

"To be the voice of reason. There is another way. One you may not like. But it's crazy enough that it might just work. The threat of violence. Because there is one man who'd be more than happy to join in on this."

"You can't mean-"

"Yes I do little government dog. I'm telling you to form an alliance with Kaido."

>There is only one way. The only one that ever was. War
>Fine. How do we rescue Eliza sneakily?
>Inviting Kaido? Interesting...
>Other?

>>5532093
>Is there a reason we can't do all three? i go with a majority of our forces in a head on assault after getting kaidos help while a specially prepared team breaks her out?

>>5532099
Like if silvers not at the front of any assault the WG is gonna get sus, and we get the kaido alliance so the frontal assault isn't just a sacrifice so the stealth team can get by and has an actual chance of success

>>5532093
>>5532099
>Is there a reason we can't do all three? i go with a majority of our forces in a head on assault after getting kaidos help while a specially prepared team breaks her out?

I changed my mind, supporting this.

>>5532093
Well if it isn't the man who can turn stone into sand. I do wonder if he, if delivered to the rock underneath Marineford, he and/or Dexter couldn't dig their way up... Or hell, just cut the foundation and tip the island over.
That'd be fun.

>Inviting Kaido? Interesting...
>Fine. How do we rescue Eliza sneakily?
War can come after, and let's be honest here. If I remember that scene properly Silver couldn't give half a shit about the people currently sailing around around with our flag, with the sole exception of the Charlottes. "Impress the stupid people with numbers" was the quote I think.
Tho it could be cool to meet some standouts.

>>5532112
I mean we need to go the war to get a kaido alliance, like no shot kaido would agree to fight the WG himself while we break her out, it'd look like a big coward move to him, so we need to go to war to get kaido on our side in the first play

>>5532093
>Inviting Kaido? Interesting...

>>5532114
Yea, it'd be an absolute pirate move to disrespect an alliance like that.

>>5532093
>Inviting Kaido? Interesting...
We may just be able to topple the world government right here and fucking now if that's the case

Also, welcome back Spooks! I've missed this little quest!

>>5532093
>>Inviting Kaido? Interesting...

Well it looks like there are many ideas of doing many things at once... most involves Kaido
Oh dear

"Kaido? How do I do that?"

"With this."
Crocodile pulls out a den den mushi from his cloak and presents it to you.

"And just why do you have that?"

"Please. Even Big Mom had a line that directly connected her to Kaido. Of course she never used it, but she had it. It's more surprising that you don't. Now are you willing to take it or not?"

Without paying Crocodile too much attention you snatch the snail from him and start the call. The henchman that picked up doesn't hesitate bringing the snail to his master but by the sound of it Kaido is not in the best condition right now.
"Whassat? Who told you you can bother me?!"

"Kaido."

"Hmmm? W-Who?"

"It's me. Silver."

"SILVER?! YOU PISSANT! I'LL KILL YOU FOR WHAT YOU DID TO LINLIN! YOU HEAR ME?! YOU'RE A DEAD MAN! DEAD!"

"Shut up and listen. I got an offer to make."

"HUUUUH? Who the blazes do you think you are?! You think you can just kill Linlin and act like you're my equal is that it? I won't have it! When I get my hands on your throat I'll show the whole world just who you really are!"

"Eliza was captured by the marines. And I'm going to war. Are you in or not?"

Looking down at the transponder snail you see its grimace turn into a grin and its clouded eyes becoming sharp as a razors edge.
"Heheeee. Well why didn't you start with that? War you say? When?"

"She's scheduled for execution in a week. So before that."

"Uuuuh. Sounds great. One small issue though. That BASTARD Red Hair. I'm 90% sure that son of a cheap whore will try to cuck me out of fun again."

"Then come now before he could stop you."

"Ooooh. That's smart. Uh. But what about my territories? Hic. Can't leave 'em alone."

"I don't care. If you wanna come then handle it somehow. Otherwise I'll do it myself!"

"No! No. I'll handle it. QUEEN! I want a plague released now! No I don't care about the festival! I want Wano nice and docile while I'm out you hear me?!"
Loudly burping Kaido returns to you.
"Alright. It's done. I-I'm heading out now. But now that you got me interested you best deliver you son of a bitch!"

"We will. Now come."
CLICK.
"It's done."

A bead of sweat rolls down Crocodiles forehead.
"How the hell did that work?"

"If you were not a pansy you'd know. Now Clown. Is that enough of a distraction for you?"

"E-Erm... yes. I believe that is sufficient."

"Good. I give you four days before we set out. Figure out a plan and handle it. Until then nobody can disturb me. That includes you Nutmeg!"

>>5532196
>holy shit he just mobilized kaido fucking effortlessly
t. everyone

You withdraw to your private room in Outer Heaven and lock the door, as well as the voice of anyone that tries to reach you. Right now you don't feel like socializing with anyone. In fact the only thing you want to do is focus on your hate and rage, making sure the flame doesn't die out as long as you need it. That is until Kaido arrives two days later because he apparently got lost on the way here in his drunken stupor.

"Silver! SILVER! Open up you little shit!"

For the first time you leave your solitude to meet the big fella outside.
"What do you want Kaido?"

"You got some balls having your men pester me! What, are you too good to greet me yourself?"

"I'm busy."

"I see that. But understand that I'm not your lackey! You piss me off and I'm killing you first before I move on to fight the government myself. Not to save Eliza mind you-"

You jump up and smack him in the face. After a quick burst of air explodes from the impact zone you land back on the ground and glare at him.
"Threaten me all you like. But if Eliza gets hurt because of you I'm killing you!"

He starts rubbing his cheek and gives you a dismissing look.
"As I thought. Weak. I came to discuss this but it seems like I got all the answers I need. You lack hate boy. And no, what you're feeling now isn't hate. It's fear. You're nothing but a boy who's scared that his mommy is gonna get hurt. And you are right to be. If you don't manage to harness your rage and disdain to dismantle the world with it you won't be able to do a thing."

"Do I have to remind you what happened to Big Mom?"

"You don't have to. You're strong. No question about that. You are one of the strongest people in the world now. But that's it and a lot of those will be there where we're going. There are and were people bigger and stronger than you that all failed in the end. I guess my question is, will this be a real war? Or will you just be holding me back?"

"You can have your war Kaido. I'm going to get Eliza back."

"And all this time I thought you got balls kid. Turns out you're just stupid. Whatever Eliza saw in you is beyond me. But fine. So long as you don't get in my way I'll have my fun. But I see you failing or running away and I'm killing you myself as a courtesy for Linlin. You got that?"

"I won't. Now get lost. Eat and drink your fill today. Tomorrow we're leaving."

"Worororo! Good!"

And this is where I must end things unfortunately. I haven't gotten back into the groove yet and I got stuff to do tomorrow.
But in exchange I'll post the updated social links and character sheet tomorrow
Hope that'll make up for it

>Kaido is giving us the Itachi quote
now we gotta kill him

>>5532281
Thanks for running Spooks!
It's good to have you back.

That's a interesting point from Kaido tho, "You're strong but brute force isn't going to cut it" He, like everyone else, just sees the rapid little monster.

>>5532295
I'm sure he'd appreciate it.

>>5532299
he didn't say anything like brute force isn't gonna cut it though, he's saying that we should be going there with the intent to kill and destroy the WG not save eliza, that should just be a side objective of declaring war to going there and killing them

>>5532311
"You are strong but bigger and stronger then you have tried and failed"
Sounds to me like he's saying just brute force isn't going to be enough. He should know, he's the biggest and strongest.

>>5532317
i mean im taking that to mean he's saying we lack conviction, like as he said we're going to war not because we want to destroy them but because we want to save eliza and to kaido thats weakness, kaidos not the guy to preach being smart, to him powers tied to will and as far as he's concerned we're lacking the will to fight rn

He ain't wrong though
Feels to me like silver's turning bitchmade right about now

We made our outer heaven, and now we need to become a demon.
In silver's case, not just a force of nature but a vengeful god who strikes down the wicked with an even greater evil.

>>5532322
>>5532325
you know what's gotta happen right. something's got to give

>>5532330
personally think elizas gonna die, like just cannot imagine us being able to save her at all, i genuinely believe the WG would have implanted a bomb into her already or something more sophisticated from vegapunk, and of course if eliza dies big War is gonna happen, hell we might save her and then kaido kills her to start the biggest war in history between him, silver and the WG since thats his dream

>>5532334
>Eliza's gonna die
It's totally possible, and would probably result in the darkest timeline.
Silver might genuinely go on a rampage that never ends, turning the whole world into some apocalyptic hellscape where children grow up in caves fearing the sky.

>>5532352
If Eliza dies Silver is probably awakening on the spot from sheer rage and despair.

>>5532424
i mean we've already awakened, unless he gets so mad get goes super awakening 2 lol

>>5532475
>have you ever been so pissed off your awkening awakens
Awoke squared.

>>5532475
I thought Silver was on the edge?

>>5532475
We Awaken, Cope And Seethe, but we turn into Gabriel from Ultrakill. Then burn the world into a bloody asshole.

>>5532574
did you not read the last two threads?

>>5532714
Apparently not, it clearly slipped my mind.

>>5532581
If only we were as eloquent as Gabriel. I don't think Silver even knows the word "insignificant" exists.

Shit is going down and I couldn't be more hyped. Also based Kaido calling out Silver, he really needs to get his shit together if he wants to save his mom.

>>5532334
I hope she doesn't since, if she does, I can't see Silver doing anything but embarking on a crusade to destroy the marines. Gruesomely killing everyone he sees as responsible for her death and not resting until it is done.

>>5533507
Do the rank and file marines not have an opinion on what their leadership has done and on the possibility of going against Silver? I'd be feeling like a guardsman being sent off to fight a WAAAGH!

>>5532475
Silver kinda reminds me of Ulquiorra from Bleach. Bat theme, Nihilism theme, and a second release (if this is what's cooking)
Lydia said Silver is coming closer and closer to an early grave, but maybe that grave is just a beginning.
The Death Tarot card is the signal of something ending, so another chapter can begin.

>>5535364
lol
>>5535340
Maybe not hard nihilism, buy when you are the bottom of the rung and rules don't really matter, you operate and live with what you're given. He's the epitome of nihilism to the regular onlooker (doesn't give a shit about right or wrong), but what's deeper inside him is what brings out his second release that's hidden from plain sight.
If the World Government is Thesis, he's Antithesis.
He wouldn't be an existential nihilist though. Very much the opposite. Which really leads to what he's about. Or at least what I can see.

>>5536258
But he does care about right or wrong... his own right or wrong. Silver values life (just not his enemies), freedom, family, and strength. he by no way believes that life is meaningless.

>>5536258
Anarchism is not nihilism my guy.

>>5536351
You can believe that life holds no inherent without believing it has no meaning at all.
That is, the meaning that each and every person gives something. The meaning that they hold in their own heart, which is different for everyone.

Yes, life is meaningless. The wider universe doesn't care whether you live or die, but a person might. Because you mean something to them, even if nobody and nothing else cares.

And even if nobody on earth loves or cares about you, you still have the meaning you give to yourself.
Whether it's positive or negative, that's something that can never be taken away from you. No matter what happens outside of your own control, so long as you live you are the one who decides your own worth and your fate.

Kaidos words leave you unbothered. Nothing he can say or do could make you falter. And by keeping his stomach full and thirst quenched you can keep his mouth shut so he doesn't bother you either. But the day eventually comes when you must keep him sober. And so the dragon is kept placated until the day he's needed which arrives all too soon. In these past four days heaps of iron and various other metals have been stripped from wherever you could find them, melted down and forged into weapons and ammunition. Outer Heavens furnaces managed to churn out enough arms to make a small warmongering nation blush. And you intend to unleash all of it on your enemies.

After gathering everyone in the central hall you start the preparations before the departure. This however did not please Kaido. Not one bit.
"What are we wasting time for? We should be on our way to Marineford already!"

"We're waiting for the plan idiot."

"Plan?! The only plan we need is charging head-first into combat and not stopping until there is nothing left of the place! I get wanting to amass your forces but this? Such a disappointment."

"You'll get what you want Kaido. But I will have Eliza out of there. If you get in my way I'm killing you first!"

"Oh? You think you got what it takes? Worororor! Go ahead! Give it a try!"

As sparks start flying off between the two of you Pepe steps up and raises her hands.
"Save your energy for the enemy. If you want to you can kill each other later."

"HMPH! FINE!"
"HMPH! FINE!"

"Now then, allow me to illustrate the plan. Please turn your attention upwards."
Clown then has the lights of the island turned off and using a projector snail she displays her hand drawn plan on the ceiling.
"As you may be aware, we'll be walking head first into a trap. We don't know how much resistance we'll encounter but it will be immense judging by the displays of the Navy during the Summit War and the lessons they must've learnt from it. Most likely the place will be heavily trapped so we advise caution. Unfortunately because the Marines will be expecting a large fleet we don't have too many options regarding tactics, as they'll be suspicious unless we show up with a full fleet."

"GET ON WITH IT!"

"Hmph. Thankfully we're not totally out of options. Because of our large numbers they won't notice if one or two people are absent from the conflict. Which is why a small team lead by Murray will approach the island from the sea floor where Dexter will tunnel his way to the execution platform and once there Lyda will use her devil fruit power to teleport out of there safely."

"If that's what you're planning then why not send me?"
Crocodile asks almost mockingly.

"The mink is an expert geologist. He can safely dig through the soil without fear of it all collapsing, which your indiscriminate desiccation might cause."

"Damn Cipher Pol bitch is well informed..."

"As for the actual attack itself we already put in motion several plans over the last four days. Those that they concern already know about it. The rest are free to act as they see fit. Each crew knows what they are good at and it's not like pirates can be coordinated that much anyway. But remember two things. One, give way to us. You don't want to get stuck between the silvers and the navy. And two, the marines won't shy away from using any tactics against you. So no matter what they say, assume every word of theirs to be a lie. They did convert pirates during the Summit War and will try to do so again."

It may not be the most complex and detailed of battle plans but the pirates don't seem to mind. Many of them are just eager to get started already as they yearn for some due payback against the marines. Their bravery though commendable it's misguided. They believe that with not one but two Emperors on their side there is no conceivable way for them to loose. Little do they realize that this little fact does not guarantee their survival. One could argue it doesn't necessarily guarantee victory either but you refuse to acknowledge that. You will win. You have to.

As the crowd quickly disperses with each pirate heading for their own ship to prepare for setting sail someone nervously dares to approach you.
"Erm S-Silver? I know this isn't the best time but-"

"Sandersonia... Are you coming or not?"

"That's what I wanted to talk about. I'm truly sorry and I want to help, I really do but-"

"But?"

"But I can't jeopardize my sister like that."

"Fine. One less person to get in my way."

She looks stunned. She barely recognizes the way you act. However she gets a hold of herself and steels her resolve.
"That's not all! The government most definitely called Hancock to show up at Marineford. I just.. I need to make sure you know that she is allied to you. Please... don't hurt my sister!"

>Fine...
>Let me make something clear. Anyone who tries to stop me is my enemy.
>Other?

>>5536908
>>Fine...
Shouldn't be that hard to avoid her.

>>5536908
>Fine...

>I'll give you a chance to get her out, but she better stay out of the way.

>>5536908
>>Fine...

>>5536908
If i see her i'll tell her to focus on the fodder and stay out the way, if she doesn't listen all bets are off

>>5536908
>Fine... but she better stay out of my way!
If it was "don't kill her" then it would be fine on it's own but "don't hurt her"?

>>5536950
I mean hurting boa would probably be the same as killing her in this battle, if shes hurt and weakened enough far to high a chance of someone else ganking her once we've moved on, even if she was still conscious

>>5536956
Then that's on them, not Silver. Though I think Boa is wise enough to not get in his way anyway.

>>5536962
Yeah but sandersonia knows full well if we hurt boa chances are shes dead anyway even if she gets us to agree not to kill her, so of course she'll ask us not to hurt her at all

Despite being massively pissed off Silver is still reasonable to a degree
>writing

Does boa technically count as family in silvers mind already? since we plan to marry sandersonia which would make her our sister-in law, or will silver only start thinking that way p[ost wedding?

>>5536975
Not yet. And so far she's under the tag [Ally] due to the deal she has with Silver

"Fine. But she better get out of my way when I get there."

The Boa girl sighs with relief, knowing that her sister though prideful is not stupid. So her safety is at least guaranteed this way. And she's glad that the man she holds in such high regards hasn't lost his mind like she thought.
"Thank you! Thank you so much!"
You decide to leave her be as she breaks down but she tugs on your coat as you leave and pulls you back for a moment.
"Silver... do take care of yourself!"

"Heh. Don't worry!"
Nutmeg speaks up as she passes by.
"If he does anything stupid we'll be there to take care of him. That's our job after all!"

This friendly exchange infuriates Kaido who seems to be reaching his limits.
"Get it over with already! We got a war to wage!"

"Yes."
You concur.
"Listen up scum of Outer Heaven! Set sails! We go to Marineford!"

"YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

The makeshift army you gathered up erupts in a jubilant roar, eager to finally get started with the bloodshed. Around fifty or so ships, all carrying different jolly rogers leave the docks of the island and like a pack of ravenous wolves they all move, following the scent of war carried by ill winds. It also helps that there were a few marines who were not supposed to be at Outer Heaven but were anyway the day of the announcement and they were more than eager to point you in the direction of New Marineford in exchange for letting them keep all their limbs.

Most of the captains need not be in touch with you directly. The only orders they need are "charge", "stay" and "retreat", with the last one being optional. People like Crocodile or other prominent pirates do have a transponder snail on through which you keep in touch with them for the time being. But the moment you enter combat that will be promptly discarded.

"Well this is quite a sight. A small armada of the most notorious pirates moving as one. Though the black smoke is a bit garish for my tastes."
Crocodile chimes in.

"Keep your eyes focused on the waters ahead of us. Who knows what kind of traps they set for us."

"Whoah. As intense as expected from the new leader of the Big Mom Pirates. You should relax. The fish-men who decided to join us are combing the waters for any mines or the like."

"Hmmm. I'm impressed Silver managed to get them to join."

"He didn't. They just showed up on their own with a small fleet. Apparently building ships and piracy are in vogue at Fish-man Island for some reason."

At this you pick up the snail and roar into it.
"Enough chit chat!"

The fleet continues to sail at breakneck speed and within one day you start seeing a white dot on the horizon which steadily swells into the massive fortress that is the headquarters of the marines. They couldn't have made it any less subtle if they wanted it as it has two massive white arches in the shape of the marines insignia. Crocodile cheerfully opens the comms again.

"Well there you have it folks. Former marine base G-1, now the new heart and soul of the Marines. You see that bridge to the side? That connects them straight to the Red Line and the royal forces of the World Government."

"Interesting. Meaning they could theoretically receive reinforcements continuously. I'll direct our family to destroy it if you'll give the word Silver."

"Hah. Ridiculous. What you'd do with a whole fleet I can do it with one hand. Watch!"

"What did you say?"

The various captains on the comm channels start arguing with each other while you turn your attention to the marine base. Besides the marble colored walls you see a sea of white at the base of the building. The thousands upon thousands of men and women who lined up to willingly put themselves between you and your goal. You wonder if they'll be equally as eager to die for their ideals.

"Worororo! Makes the hair on your back stand up, doesn't it? Go on! Drink it in! This is the last moment of serenity you'll have for a while!"

You wonder about that and how it must've felt for Whitebeard when he did the same. Did he care? Did he feel threatened? Or did he look at them with as much contempt as you did? If you recall the stories he sent his war declaration in the form of a tsunami. Yes. An occasion like this deserves a grandiose opening.

"Well? Aren't you going to address them?"
Kaido asks you in a mocking tone.

"No. The only exchange I want is their surrender. Now stand aside."

"Huh?"

"You're in my spotlight."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9_ZpqfqHFI

Raising your hand to the sky you shoot up a stream of fine black hair which spreads out in a circle and blankets the sky. As the dark filaments flow they blot out a sun, creating a penumbra like during the eclipse. You can feel the anxiety of the marines rise even from miles away as the see the sun dimming before their very eyes and a low thunder like rumble reverberates in their ears. Even the pirates standing by your side seem to be unnerved by what's their first real time experiencing your unbridled devil fruit power, with many of them questioning if you're really a zoan. Undoubtedly the marines are experiencing similar trials of faith with the added difficulty of standing on the wrong side.

Your ears tune in on their terrified ramblings and the voice of their superiors trying to keep the morale of their troops up by any means necessary.
"It's just a trick! He's trying to shake you up! But a marine knows no fear! We fight for justice! Remember that!"
But the lowest ranking soldiers are not really reassured by those words when they just realized that their superiors sent them out basically to die. However there is one small ray of light shining in the darkness. Literally. A man sized ball of light flies up to the sky below your shroud and illuminates the part of the island where the soldiers have made their stand. Courtesy of Kizaru.

"Worororo. That didn't work out quite like you intended! Now it looks like they have god himself on their side!"

"Idiot."

"Huh?"

"What do you think casts shadows?"
You take out your transponder snail and speak into it.
"The first shot is mine. You may come after I had my turn."
And you hang up.

Moments later the many officers of the navy that had their composure broken look up at the sky filled with hope and determination, knowing that no matter how bad or dark things might get there will always be a light shining in the darkness, and that justice will triumph over evil. And how right they are. For victory itself is just. A lesson they learn quickly as you swoop across the battlefield and scatter their ball of light with a well placed sword swing and replace it with the black clouds trailing behind you.

Not wasting any time observing the terrified and gawking marines you land at the very edge of the island and stare down the army gathered in front of you.
"Give Eliza back!"
Is the first and last thing you say to them.

>Let indiscriminate slaughter begin
>Ignore the peons and start taking out the higher ranking ones. Without those the rest will break
>Head straight for the center where the Admirals are. Nobody else matters
>Other?

>>5537057
we ride in on kaidos head

>>5537077
>>Let indiscriminate slaughter begin

Hmm, I say we go where we can do the most damage, maybe have the whole walls collapse on the infantry?

>>5537077
>Take out Kizaru first

>>5537077
>>Let indiscriminate slaughter begin
Can't have fodder hitting our back while we're fighting the admirals

>>5537077
It's not like fodder could scratch Silver. Better to hit the higher tiers.

>>5537077
>Ignore the peons and start taking out the higher ranking ones. Without those the rest will break

>Take out Kizaru first

Yeah, get rid of the lightning bruiser first, and blot out their sunlight. That will actually be good, fact he helped capture Eliza not-with-standing

>>5537077
>Ignore the peons and start taking out the higher-ranking ones. Without those, the rest will break

>>5537077
>Take out Kizaru first
If we can take him out then it breaks the marines more than hitting the vice admirals.

Hmm, so who will Kaido fight then? I honestly think he will either take on Admirals, Warlord or Seraphim since that is the minimum to hold him down.

Brings to mind, did any of his followers come with or he by himself? Cause I can see King supporting him through this given how big this is.

>>5537103
Sengoku or garp might take him on

>>5537105
Pretty sure Sengoku is staying the fuck out of this War

>>5537103
Only Kaido. He left everyone to keep Wano in check

>>5537108
Heh, Goofy will be pissed we stole his thunder.

Wonder if they can win.

>>5537107
I mean he took on silver during the prisoner transport, plus his retirement is really only in name so he's 100% here, and sengokus not so heartless as to just sit back while innocent marines get slaughtered for no reason, like don't expect him to do much but can 100% see him keeping kaido busy just so kaido doesn't end up slaughtering the lower ranks

>>5537109
on this note where was the wano arc when kaido left? like was luffy just arriving or like is this after kaido and luffys first fight?

>>5537112
Probs somewhere in between, point is, Luffy is not getting that fight.

I wonder if Kaido will return to a overthrown army, or if Queen's gas did all the work.

>>5537077
>Ignore the peons and start taking out the higher ranking ones. Without those the rest will break

>Marines are organized and well disciplined. That is their strength.
>Silver can manipulate sound

Would be a bloody shame if orders wouldn't be heard, or if "attack" very accidentally became "pull back"
Just a thought for when things get interesting.

>Ignore the peons and start taking out the higher ranking ones. Without those the rest will break

The chaff is just that, and I'd we dive for the admirals wel just be surrounded and fucked

3 for tackling the officers

I think that's a bit smarter than going straight for an admiral

"Y-You're kidding me! We're supposed to fight an Emperor?!"

"I-I wanna go home!"

"Someone save us!"

The pitiful cries of the weaklings does nothing but irritates your ears. You have half a mind about educating these fools, since they aren't "supposed" to fight an Emperor. They're supposed to die to you and everyone knows that. But thankfully you're saved from the tedium of teaching the chaff a lesson by one of their commanding officers.

"Everyone! Stand aside!"
A man jumps out of the crowd.

"Commander T Bone!"

"Leave facing such monsters to us! Your job is to make sure we're not surrounded and overwhelmed! But more importantly than that your foremost duty is to survive! For you are the future of the Marines!"

"COMMANDER!"

"Now face me Emperor! Let me show you Justice!"

He leaps forward and swings his sword down on your shoulder. But instead of blood it's shards of metal that scatter in the air as you swing your hand and smack his sword aside whilst vibrating your body. First his weapon shatters, then his helmet dents and finally his face distorts as your knuckles dig into his cheek. He almost gets sent flying but you grab his tattered cape and pull him back by it so you can take hold of his head and smash him in the ground. The earth shakes as T Bone spits up blood on the impact and rocks get upturned all around you. All those who managed to keep their balance and not fall due to the shifting ground look in horror as their commander sinks deeper into the ground after clearly loosing consciousness.

Someone tries to get these terrified soldiers back in order but once your ears pick up his determined voice you make your way to him.
"Shakushi."

His mouth is shut immediately by your grasping hand and he just barely has enough time to register what happened to him before you toss him in the sky before shooting a bullet after him to turn him into a very messy fireworks display. At this point survival instinct takes over the marines and they either try to run away or fight back but even these attempts of theirs are so pathetic you don't even bother acknowledging their assault and simply move out of the way of their attacks in search of worthier prey. Searching for commanding officers you run through the crowd unnoticed, save for the chill of the grave that runs across the back of the men you pass by. Only after the third guy that you got rid of in such a manner does someone worthy of your attention try to stop you.

Onigumo jumps into the fray with his spider fruit activated and he shoots some webbing at you to try and impede your movement.
"CAVALIER! I FINALLY GOT YOU! It's time to pay for your crimes against the world!"

Heh, guess it time to repeat a little history~~~

>>5537192
rip his dick off and feed it back to him

>>5537209
It just wouldn't be this quest without cannibalism popping up at important moments like this

last time we sterilized him, now we're gonna rearange his genitals before assisting him with this suicide he chose

Hmm, if the masses of the Navy were to be killed, what would happen?

Like, say everyone below Vice Admiral died, that would be at most 100 Officers who could maybe each destroy an Island.

What would WG do? Force Nations too commit more manpower? Would they be still as effective when they have to spread everyone thinly?

>>5537219
The world gets hit with an even bigger draft than the one in the time skip

"Now FIRE!"
Onigumo declares and the giant cannons built into the first defensive wall of the fort take aim at you. Even the fact that they are willing to blow their own people up just to get a shot at you fails to make you care. Before the cannonballs could do anything you grab hold of the thread connecting your to him and pull him towards you. The moment you get your hands on his actual body you sprout wings and take off flying so fast that a few of the marines around you are briefly flung in the air with you.

Onigumo screams as you carry him through the air and smash him into the massive cannonballs, detonating them mid flight. The explosions seem to do a number on him as he ceases shrieking and only lets out pained gasps after that. Unfortunately for him that's not where his troubles end as you continue carrying him into the fortified wall. And through it. And through the ammo depots within until enough of them detonate to blow a massive hole in the structure.

When you're done Onigumo lies on a pile of charred black bricks with only the barest spark of life left within him.
"Cough. Y-You think this is enough to stop us? Y-You can punch me in the dick, break every bone in my body. But my spirit will never die! Justice will prevail! We will never stop, never rest! As long as evil like you exists there will be good men who'll try to destroy it! Remember that Cavalier! This will never be ov-"

Onigumo can't really finish his final sentence as he sees you grabbing the broken remains of the giant cannon that you smashed and lift it over him. With a high jump you throw down the weapon hard enough to not only utterly crush the marine but the remains of the wall that it was embedded in, opening a perfect hole through which the ground forces can pour into the inner area.

Sadly the marines, shocked as they are by this don't really have time to gawk at this breach in their defenses as the world around them lights on fire.
"WORORORORO! DO YOU MAGGOTS THINK YOU HAVE THE LUXURY TO TURN AWAY?! THIS IS A WAR!"
Kaido has started his assault and he's already burning the troops and the ground they stand on into nothing but soot. The rest of your pirate allies have also reached dry land and they are now engaging the massively terrified marines on foot.

Spreading your wings you fly high in the air to survey the battlefield and after that you turn around to look deep in the eyes of Akainu. The war has officially started.

And that is it for today. On the weekend we shall resume with something a bit "meatier"
Until then have a good night

Hmmm, so who we go for next? Admiral? Or keep up with the small fry?

>>5537231
Night Spooks and thanks for running!

>>5537232
If we are attacking an admiral we should gather some of our crew.

>>5537244
I mean, we are Yonko tier now.

Admirals aren't small fry, but we can still comfortably knock them down now.

>>5537225
Damn son, it's almost like a broken, half-dead old man doesn't have quite the same spunk as two emperors in their prime
You might have fucked up just now

Also, i think onigumo might actually be dead for real this time.
And i'm okay with that, because he doesn't know when to shut the fuck up.

>>5537281
I kinda want to see him survive out of spite and annoy the shit out of Silver. Like a Marine Kaido.

>>5537297
he's not the marine version of kaido he's a faggot and i hope silver turned him into a red smear

>>5537300
Obviously he wouldn't be Kaido, he'd just be Kaido style depressed.

>>5537301
depressed into a pancake

>>5537225
It's pretty amusing that while Silver is in "no-nonsense" mode Kaido acts like a giddy murderhobo.

>>5537278
It's easy to forget that the admirals can fight the emperors just fine, especially kizaru who beat Eliza without any wounds.

>>5537393
Well if Kaido isn't in giddy murderhobo mode, he's a cripplingly depressive drunk

>>5537394
Not really, Green Bull ran away in terror from Shanks, outright admitted he couldn't defeat Kaido, and and exhausted Whitebeard handed Akainu his ass for their fight, even if the magma dick got some good hits in.

Admirals are powerful, but Yonko are without a doubt a tier above them.

>>5537397
i personally put admirals between like yonkos right hand and the yonkos themselves, and if the WG was ever gonna seriously assault an emperor they'd want atleast 2 admirals vs the yonko, if not all 3 for a near guaranteed kill

>>5537413
Thats more accurate, but I would imagine 2/3 of those Admirals would die in the process

>>5537397
Using Whitebeard as a metric just isn't fair. Imagine having super tuberculosis-cancer-aids and being 70 years old yet people still piss themselves at just your name. And not just any people, but people who are renowned for their own strength as well. That guy was just built different.

>>5537442
not just 70, but a 70 year old pirate of all things
as we all know, the healthiest of professions

>>5537436
hmm i wouldn't say so personally, like i think all 3 admirals vs a yonko ends up with the admirals winning with no deaths, and would actually say the same for a 2 admirals vs a yonko match, though in the latter scenario its because if the yonko manages to kill 1 of the admirals the other admiral probably isn't long for the world, so its either both survive or neither

>>5537457
Plus on the admiral strength debate in regards to the greenbull and shanks scenario personally to me i think greenbulls without a doubt the weakest admiral, like far from weak but wouldn't surprise me if like king in tip top condition could give him a fight even if he ultimately won, where as the other admirals could probably deal with him fairly easily as long as they stayed cautious and aware, hell if it turns out greenbull isn't awakened yet i would not be surprised

>>5537462
... None of the Admirals are at all confirmed to be awakened.

And Greenbull was taking on nearly all of the Akaza 9+Momonosuke and Shinobu and still doing well.

Keep in mind, each one of them were on pair with Zoro pre-wano Timeskip, and the strongest of their generation.

And if Kaido can take them all on, then Luffy, then Law and Zoro, then Yamato, then Luffy again, then Luffy awakened, I think he could take on 3 Admirals.

>>5536362
>>5536351
Nihilism is just a temporary period. Basically the grey period from Mary's precious little pal to Eliza's favorite boy. It's just a pupae period if that makes any sense.
You guys are both right and both understand the character better than I. I'm just putting my 2 cents.
>>5536366
Basically what you said. It's just emptying the canvas for new growth.

Tomorrow I'll be aiming to continue again
Hope to see y'all there

>>5539351
haha yeah we'll totally be there right guys

As all hell breaks loose you take a moment to survey the battlefield from atop the ruined wall. Marines and pirates engage each other wherever they can. But with being substantially outnumbered, maybe even a hundred to one, it's only by the presence of the heavy hitters that your smaller forces can stay in the game. It's a good thing that those heavy hitters are all worth a small army all on their own. Most ranged firepower, including artillery is aimed at the titanic dragon floating around the place and burning everyone in sight with his explosive breath. Kaido seems to be having the time of his life whilst the Navy sufficiently shat its collective pants at his presence.

But big blue and angry is not the only one worth noting. Sandstorms, hails of sharp glass, meathooks sprouting from the ground, storms of arrows and waves of poison are just a few of the walking natural disasters that are decimating the ranks of the marines. Still it never hurts to hit just a bit harder and with the superior numbers of the enemy it's justified to use everything at your disposal. With a sharp whistle that echoes over the battlefield you give the order for the drop.

The black shroud over the island parts in places as massive objects pass through its veil one by one. Marines look up and start screaming once they notice the looming shadows over them growing thicker. Unfortunately due to the tight formation they're in they are unable to move out of the way before the sky ships fall on them and disgorge even more men to deal with. Deep striking so far behind enemy lines is usually a very bad idea but with everything already going on the marines have quite a bit of trouble surrounding these new arrivals as their command structure and morale falls apart. This in turn takes pressure off of the front line which can start pushing inward even harder.

Looks like the plan to hit the enemy as quick and hard as possible is working as intended. Now you just need to keep up the pressure. Turning around you look inward where there are more walls and plenty of cannons mounted on them. What's more troubling is that there is a substantial increase in the quality of the troops there. Looks like they really did set out the lower ranking troops to soften you up first. What's more is that they have more specialized equipment as well, bigger and better guns, armor, swords and they even have Pacifistae under their disposal.
But there is still no signs of Eliza anywhere.

>Start interfering with the marine command structure

as long as we get to focus I'm sure Silver can use the Silver Style alongside Observation haki to change the orders marines give/receive to cause absolute havoc without getting directly physical.
Telling sections to charge headlong into our crews instead of holding the fortifications and shooting them down, run to reinforce another part of the walls that arn't under attack so as to let those that are be weakened. That kind of thing.
Let's use the marines discipline and command structure against the bastards!

>>5540260
>>5540269
>>Start interfering with the marine command structure

Changed my mind, supporting this. Really work to Silver's advantages and ability with sound manipulation.

>>5540272
Yea, sound and observation is kind of Silver's thing.
And just imagine if the big guns hear Sakazuki shouting "Hold fire damnit!" or, well, they have shown themselves willing to fire on their own men if ordered to do so

>>5540260
>>These fortifications are in the way. Time to cause some property damage

>>5540272
Support

I wonder if elizas already dead, like the WG really has no reason to keep her alive at this point, like if ace had been killed at marineford whitebeard would have started a retreat, but with silver if they kill her he's not leaving until either he's dead himself or killed everyone else there

>>5540301
I mean yea... But we didn't show up at the execution, but before it so she's probably still down in that blasted seastone cage

Pretty sure they also used Ace as a hostage

Like, with Ace, Whitebeard couldn't let loose his big ones without killing Ace

But when he died he decided to sink Marineford to the ground

>>5540305
Yeah but they could have had her immediately killed the minute they knew we were heading out, like they couldn't do it b4 because if we somehow learnt of it one of our crew might have been able to deter us from coming, but since we were on the way the chances of us learning it is super low and even if we somehow did it'd make silver look super weak to amass a massive armada just to then pussy out at the last minute, like at marineford ace nearly got away, no way the WG is gonna risk that again, plus akainus in-charge nowadays so its definetly something he'd support

>>5540311
Yeah but also plays into the retreat thing, since if WB crew stayed aswell hhe couldn't sink the island, so with ace dead he could order the retreat while he takes out the island

>>5540269
>>5540272

>>5540332
so close to being a colossal failure

>>5540334
We have one more attempt if you think you can beat that 30

One more vote, let's see if we can beat out the already fantastic 30.

"What are you gawking at? Shoot him already!"

As you survey the island the marine officers below bark orders at their men and it's just enough to shake up the men who were too caught up staring at a living legend. They take aim and fire their guns at you with intent to kill, enough to set off your alarms. Just in time as the projectile approaches you swat it away with the bones in the back of your hand and feel momentarily fatigued as you do so. Taking a good look at the projectile that got redirected you see that it's not a standard bullet but more like a long, thin stake made out of sea stone. A sea stone bullet. Clever.

"H-He didn't even use any haki to do that! What is he?"

Even the officer in charge of the squad is taken aback by this.
"This is fubar! Iron marines! You're clear to engage!"

Right after that several enemy soldiers wearing Black Metal armor start flying with a machine on their backs that shoots air downward to propel them. They charge you and use spears to fight you from a fair distance away. Even their weapons are made of the haki infused material down to the shaft. You're left with no choice but to draw Argent to parry their attacks. They are tough thanks to their shells so you can't just easily overwhelm them. But if you get bogged down fighting these guys you'll be worn down before you ever get close to Eliza. That just won't do.

Suddenly you get a devious idea while dodging and weaving between spear thrusts and smirk as you look down. Extending your palm you send out white noise to drown out the officers orders, then attune your own voice to match his and fire it at the soldiers instead.
"OPEN FIRE!"

"B-But sir-"

"DO IT NOW! FOR JUSTICE!"

That's all it took for them to swallow their conscience and they start shooting at you even though their friends are still engaged. The officer clearly doesn't like this and tries to call them morons but his voice doesn't reach them. And as the sea stone stakes come flying you grab one of the metal marines and pull him in the way of the stakes. Out of the two substances Sea Stone is the one that trumps the other. The projectiles embed themselves in the armor without necessarily hurting the marines but that's fine. With a simple bump from you they do cross over to the supple flesh inside and the marines blood starts gushing out from the holes.

You know, I realised, we're the real Goofy.

We don't have some bullshit fruit to carry us, we brought ours up with creativity and our own determination.

We took a normal fruit and became an Emperor with it, Duffy needed several handicaps to beat one.

You grab the half-dead guy and start using his armored body as a club to beat the others to submission with. Meanwhile the soldiers down are panicking as their "orders" backfired spectacularly. They look for their CO pleading for instructions, which you're all too eager to give.

"WE FUCKED UP! RUN! RETREAT!"

The group you were manipulating makes a run for it, at which point you look at the one next to it and use the same trick on them.
"COWARDS! THEY'RE RUNNING AWAY! KILL THEM!"
Naturally they are a bit hesitant, but when you tell them to do it for justice at least one or two of them slip up and when they do the rest soon follow suit and start gunning down their friends for insubordination.

Confusion and panic sweeps through the enemy army as they see their allies shooting at each other on one side and a bunch of furious marines slaughtering them on the other. Nobody knows what's going on and whenever someone tries to take control of the situation you hear him yelling and hijack his orders to sow more discord. This has to be one of your best ideas so far and will definitely keep it for the future.

With their formation broken the marines are easy pickings for you now and after finishing up the metal marines you fly down to the ground and spread your bat wings which unleash a thick miasma of black hair around you.
"You want this to end? GIVE BACK ELIZA!"
A second flap sends out sparks which causes the saturated air to detonate and expand in a circle around you.

But as you stand there with smug self satisfaction at a job well done your ears pick up something through the fire and the screams. It's a battlecry. Suddenly two metal bars cross the wall of flames and are about to clasp down on you. It's an ability you recognize so you jump up to avoid getting locked up by them. Turning into a tiny bat you start flying up and spot your attacker. It's the marine Hina, whom you had a few meetings with before. Her two goons are also standing right behind her, ready to throw down.
"You guys! Clear the area and make yourselves useful elsewhere! He's out of your league!"

"Yeah! You tell them Rear-Admiral! Now let's show everyone how it's done! Ready Jango!"

"Ow yeah! Ready as I'll ever be Fullbody! Let's dance!"

You frown at these clowns.

You're the ones who don't want to fuck around, so don't be surprised if there is no fucking around to be had

"I'm not playing games anymore. Leave."

"Funny thing! Neither are we! Ow! Now look into this circle and fall asleep so we can end this in a heartbeat! One! TWO! JANGO!"
Jango musters all of his willpower so he can avert his eyes at the last moment as to not hypnotize himself.
"BOOYA! I DID IT FULLBODY! DID YOU SEE THAT? Fullbody?"

"U-U-U-Uh... i-it didn't work!"

"Wha-"
Jango turns his head and sees you staring directly at it, as lucid as a minute ago. He opens his mouth to gasp but what comes out of it is a scream as he suddenly feels every finger on his right hand fall off past the first digit.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

"JANGO!"

Fullbody looks at his partner but he feels goosebumps all over his body as you flash over to him. He knows from the deepest recesses of his heart that he's in incredible danger. So he shouts and swings his arm without thinking. You catch him by the brass knuckle he always wears and it crumples from the vibrations like it's tinfoil. Then as his life flashes before his very eyes you stab him through the stomach. As Argent comes out his back you grab him by the shoulder and push him off.
"I warned you."

"F-Fullbo-"

But Jango couldn't finish calling out for his friend one final time before you sliced his throat open with the same sword you killed Fullbody with. The two partners who became lifelong friends through their shared love of dance fall together and at the very least can spend their final moments in each others company, as they knew they would eventually. They feel horrible but only because they know they'll be leaving the service of their beloved rear-admiral who'll have to face the monster that slew them alone.

Hina and her remaining men watch this in horror, unable to cope with the death of their beloved comrades.
"Jango... Fullbody... you... IDIOOOOOOOTS!"
Hina takes off full of hatred and determination.
"YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT YOU BASTAAARD!"

As one of her feet touch the ground whilst sprinting you move over to her and kick her ankle hard enough not only to trip her but to shatter her bones before punching her in the gut so hard she's sent flying back into the arms of her men who had the presence of mind to catch her. But just barely. They stay there motionless as Hina is trying to catch her breath before they start running away.
"NO! LET ME GO! HE'S OVER THERE! I'LL KILL HIM! I SWEAR I'LL-"

"Rear Admiral! We can't stand up to that! We have to-"
The tearful explanation is cut short as a snap of your finger blows the marines head off which prompts all the others to freeze in place as well. They look as you slowly walk up to them, a monster covered in the blood of their friends. They realize they can do nothing but weep.

"Cry. Beg. I told you! The only way this ends is if I get what I want! I will hack and chop and cleave until you GIVE ELIZA BACK! NOW COME AT ME OR DIE!"
You raise Argent above your head, ready to end these miserable insects before you but get stopped by a punch to the face.

"White Blow!"

The haki coated fist manages to make you flinch and pushes you back. But by the time the one that hit you closes the distance for a second attack you manage to bring your sword down to stop him. The white hair and the jitte are telltale signs of the popular vice-admiral Smoker. His body flows around you like smoke, signaling that he's a logia user.
"Get Hina out of here!"
He shouts to the grunts as he holds you back.
"You scum! How dare you strike a woman like that?!"

"How dare you get in my way?"
You blow fire on him but he disperses into smoke and attacks you from multiple angle at once with haki infused punches, as well as his sea stone tipped jitte. His body starts to cover a wide area around you which rouses your suspicion. Your ears twitch as you hear footsteps coming from behind.

"Kiri Shigure!"

For a moment you ignore Smoker to parry a slash aimed at your back just in time to sprout a wing and bat away Smokers jitte. The brief contact does weaken you but you quickly flap your wings to blow away the obtrusive smoke as well as the two marines who tried to catch you in a pincer attack.
"It doesn't matter what tricks you try or how many maggots come at me. I'll kill all of you."

"What malice. He really is rotten to the core. That sword in his hand must be freed at all cost!"

"Huuuh? You stupid or something?"
You raise your sword high and hold it with both hands.
"Argent! You can devour her."

Pushing your armament into the blade you turn it black and start vibrating it so hard it makes a growling noise. You prepare to cleave her in two alongside everything behind her when you feel the vice-admiral attempting to stop you. Turning your whole body as you swing down you change the target of the slice to him. Smoker parts his logia body just in time to dodge the attack, which flies past him and obliterates a bastion on one of the walls. Not cut, not slice, destroy. It's reduced to nothing.
"Tch. Pesky logia."

"WORORORORO!"
You hear a laugh coming from above and see Kaido climbing over the wall you blew a hole in.
"Looks like you're really having fun now Silver! Hmmmm? What's that? Fighting two on one tsk tsk tsk? Well that's hardly fair wororororo! What do you say we "even the playing field" a little, huh?"

>Mind your own business! Get in my way and I'll kill you too Kaido!

"Kekekeke! Yeah. That'd be "fair" wouldn't it Kaido?"

"Wororororo!"
The great blue dragon disappears and the large, ogre of a man crashes down next to you. He readies his kanabo and starts cracking his neck in preparation for what's to come.
"This is gonna be fun!"

"You've... got to be kidding me!"

"Smoker... What should we do?"

The two only realize now what a grave mistake they made. It's easy to forget you're an emperor, given how new and comparably short you are to the other giants. But now they face Kaido standing side by side with you. There is no ignoring the matter now and no way to escape the consequences of their actions either.

"So brat."
Kaido addresses you, completely ignoring the two marines.
"Let me ask you a question. Can you hear it?"

"Hear what?"

"It. The voices. The voices of the world. Do you really hear them?"

"Of course."

"Wororororo. Well then. Let me show you something. In exchange you can show if you're really worthy of the name Emperor!"
He places one foot in front of the other and starts winding up his kanabo before pouring his heart and soul into it. It starts to crackle with raw force even before it's swung.
"Do you hear it boy?"

"Yeah."

"Then let's do a combo, shall we?"

You mimic his pose and raise Argent high in the air. Though you don't think you can quite match what Kaido is doing you can get close. Your arms swell as you activate the Dumahim and start vibrating Argent as much as you possibly can. Ripples form in the air as the waves flowing through and out of the sword distort the air around it like a mirage. The very ground shakes as you manage to sync up with Kaido and feel the name of the attack that's being etched into the world itself by the roaring force that's built up. Kaido takes a step forward and you do the same, swinging your respective weapons at the same time as you shout.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKkizg0NuK8

"HA-"
"-KAI!"

The focused power of the two swings merges and surges forward with unprecedented speed. All that stands in its way gets obliterated. The mighty walls of Marineford turn to nothing as easily as the men standing before it. Not even their screams remain as the roar of the attack overwhelms even those. For one glorious moment it seems like nothing else but the attack exists as it drowns out all else. But even something of that magnitude must end once and it did at the hands of the marines.

Standing at the foot of the fort itself with no defensive wall left to guard them are the three Admirals and the Fleet Admiral all with their hands raised. Above and behind them are the five warlords, four of them with crossed arms and one with a soiled pair of pants. Behind even them are the veterans of the marines. Garp, Sengoku and Tsuru.
"Oh myyyyyy. That was quite scary wasn't it? What are we going to do now Fleet Admiral?"

"Shut your mouth Kizaru. We follow the plan. Kaido may be a problem but if we succeed we take out not one but two Emperors in one day!"

>>5540618
Man, we are killing all of the good marines.

>>5540628
i mean we might just be killing all the marines, like legitimentally do not see silver retreating from this battle unless he kills atleast all the higher ups, like even if elizas saved i just see silver going "ok get her on a ship and back to outer heaven, i'll stay to make sure they don't follow" when really he just wants to take out his rage, so like unless we get sengoku'd aggain don't see how this ends til either side is dead

>>5540628
Akainu's Absolute Justice is going to get a lot more popular, a lot more quickly after today's events.

>>5540642
I feel he won't have the manpower too kill troops anymore

So who should we 1V1 here? either got to be kizaru or sengoku with his personal history with them, akainu cause he's the big man in charge, or garp with his past with eliza personally and just being the strongest marine

>>5540646
I feel Kizaru, he is the reason she imprisoned, and arguably the heaviest hitter, since he can just snipe hundreds at speed of light or at a distance.

So get the long range out of the way.

>>5540628
>>5540642
I mean what the fuck did they think was gonna happen? They think Silver is just a violent lunatic then kidnap and plan to execute his mom and then stand in his way?

It's like thinking "Oh I punched a honeybadger and now it ate my face, why did it do that?"

"I hate to be the bearer of bad news but at this rate the only thing taken out will be the world itself."

"Oy! Shut your mouth old man! Sakazuki got this under control! Right?"

The Fleet Admiral speaks into his transponder snail.
"They breached the inner wall. We can't afford to wait any longer. Launch!"

Kaido rears his head.
"Oy. You hear that boy?"
He transforms into a dragon and flies up to take a look. His amusement is palpable.
"Wororororo. WORORORORORO! Now this is what I'm talking about! Akainu sure knows how to throw a party! Royal Guard, Cipher Pol, Pacifista, armies of government affiliated countries! I even see a few ships that belong to crews that operate in the Underworld! You must've pissed off a lot of people Silver! And... is that? WORORORORO! Is that a ship from Impel Down! No way! Looks like we're in quite a pickle!"

Indeed you are. Just as Clown said you would. You take out your den den mushi and speak into it.
"They are trying to surround us. Don't let them."

"FLEET-ADMIRAL! FLEET-ADMIRAL!"

"What?"

"Pirates! Pirates are coming out of the water! Fish-men and giant crabs are attacking us!"

Akainu is smoldering from fury. Unfortunately you can't quite enjoy it as some people don't have the decency to just die quietly. The girl who was swinging her dinky little sword at you is screaming from pain.
"S-Smoker-san! Smoker-san! I... I can't feel my arm! Ah? AAAAAAH!"
The moment she notices her right arm missing and her sword being broken beyond repair she starts screaming. She's so preoccupied by this that she doesn't notice that she also lost one of her eyes. She probably thinks it's due to missing her glasses.

The more depressing, or funny depending on how you look at it, is that her superior bleeding out on top of him also escaped her attention. In the moment before impact Smoker must've thrown himself over her and used all of his haki to reinforce his back. Not to survive but so she could have a chance at it. His back looks like someone went over it with a cheese grater. His not dead, not yet anyway. But he's unconscious and bleeding out rapidly. After she's done screaming though she does notice the weight pressing down on her and she gets mad.

"S-Smoker... CAVALIEEEEER! I will NEVER FORGIVE YOU!"
She throws Smoker off of her and picks up his jitte with her remaining arm.
"I'LL KILL YOU!"

She's quite angry. Of course if she did the same to you it'd be perfectly justified. You tire of her. With a swat of your arm you knock the jitte off course before kicking her in the stomach and back over to the dying vice-admiral.
"Go ahead. Do it."
After that taunt you ignore her as her maimed comrades drag her away alongside Smoker to safety. Then you turn your attention at the admirals.
"Now. Who's next?"

>>5540648
I know, I just wish we were killing more of the assholes vice-admirals.

>>5540647
Well talking less an IC logical reason and more who narratively would silver have the best fight against rn, and kizarus defiunetly up there since we've already fought and lost to him and he is the entire reason elizas currently captured but the thing with kizaru is its just that his heart ain't in it, to him its all nothing personal and only part of the job, which means he'd just respond to anything silver says with "ooooh scary" b4 continuing on the fight

And that's where I shall end things for today.
I'm getting quite hungry and tired.

But before I go I do have one question though.
What would you prefer? Continuing the rampage or me showing what other fighters are up to through omakes?

I'm loving this. It's the culmination of the whole navy and the world nobles simply not being able to leave silver the fuck alone.
They just HAD to fuck with his mom. They couldn't just let him sit there quietly on his island, noooooo.

And i'm sure. I'm 100% certain that they'll do something stupid like killing her.
And the fallout with be absolutely catastrophic. Silver ain't gonna come back from that one.

They tried leaving us alone tho. For years they kinda allowed Outer heaven to exist, just sending the occasional low ranking officer with some ships to attack us just so they were seen to do something.

And what did we do with that reprieve? Turned ourselves into an Emperor and started a war against another of the major players (the underworld) meaning that leaving us alone did not work, at all, and if they continued to do so we'd just continue violently expanding

>>5541437
Maybe they shouldn't be universally utterly vile bastards who run the slave trade and far worse shit. I don't feel bad that silver is gonna put the revolutionaries out of a job by force, literally all of them deserve to die or worse.

>>5541447
Certainly not, but saying that this was entirely unprovoked and that the marines should just leave Silver alone to continue expanding his powerbase until they can't stop him or hope he just stops doesn't make a lick of sense

>>5540656
>>Silver stuff

As much as i want to see crew stuff, and wouldn't mind some omakes if you did them anyway, i'm too invested in this rampage.

>>5541437
Yes, we only expanded into the territory of big mom and only waged war against big mom.
What happened as a result?

The islands under her control no longer had to pay candy tithes.
Instead, all that money now goes to the inhabitants, meaning more taxes for the nobles.

The silver line also made piracy more regular, in a good way (from, the navy's perspective).
Instead of spreading randomly across countless islands along the grand line, all these new pirates are mostly following the silver line instead.
The islands along the silver line itself don't get attacked, and the islands just outside of it can be easily defended because you know they're going to get attacked.

Outer Heaven has also become a center of trade, a focal point where pirates regularly collect, meaning it's easy to pick them off as they head to and from the island because again, you know where they're going.
It's the same with merchant vessels hauling stolen goods, or untaxed gold and treasure.

I would argue that the oceans are becoming MORE stable because of silver, not less.
Silver hasn't been burning shit to the ground, he just took out one of the navy's biggest enemies for them.

They just don't like the fact that he exists at all, because they can't control him.

>>5541585
What I'd like to add to this is that it's foolish to assume any of the islands under Big Moms jurisdiction have returned to the WG. And as such they don't pay taxes to the gubment

Based islands.

>We only conquered a superpower, that's no reason for anyone to do anything at all. Sit back, relax.
Maybe he'll be satisfied with that. This time

Im am ambivalent on this choice but either way I'd like for that interaction between Mary and Eliza in the Social Links to be mad into a full scene at some point.

Too much potential for compelling writing for it to be left as just a little blurb imo.

>>5543377
Yes please

Tomorrow we shall continue if everything works out

>>5544951
Ofcourse it will work out!
Bad luck? Good? Whoever wins will declare that it did!

Rubble continues to fall from the wall which had a hole blasted through it by your combined attack with Kaido. Past that and the innumerable wailing marines who got caught in the blast are the Admirals themselves, alongside other prominent figures including the Shichibukai themselves. But I guess they are the Gochibukai for now. Only one of them appears to feel threatened by your show of force but he more than makes up for the rest. The others however look at you with disdain, mild amusement or apathy. In return you gaze at them with vitriolic malice.

"How much?"
You speak, prompting curious humming from a few of them.
"How much more trash will you throw my way before fighting me yourselves? Cowards."

Akainu takes the cigar out of his mouth and answers in the most casual manner before putting it back in.
"Don't get carried away you little maggot. Just because you call yourself a Yonko now doesn't mean you can stand up to us. This "trash" as you call it is exactly what you deserve. No more."

That hit a nerve.
"I am an Emperor. I killed a LOT of people to earn that title! Let me show you how!"
Sheathing your sword you raise both your hands in the air and a shimmering bubble of vibrating air starts to form above. The sphere is the size of medium sized ship and it rapidly starts shrinking and condensing into a cannonball sized orb.
"LAUGHING! BOMB!"

The admirals stand there completely calm even as the bomb rushed towards them. Once it's close enough to be a threat Kizaru himself casually kicks it up like a soccer ball and stands there unflinching as it detonates above with an ear splitting noise.
"Aw maaan. That would've been scary if it hit us. What do you guys think hmmm?"

"Indeed. We're grateful that you're here Borsalino-san."

"Tch. Who does this twerp think he is? Attacking us outta nowhere like that? Hey Sakazuki-san? Should I wipe the floor with him for that?"

"Nah. He's not worth the trouble. Just a child throwing a temper tantrum. We'll see how feisty he is once his whore of a mother is beheaded right in front of him."

They're taunting you. And the worst part is that it's working. They'll just stand there and keep pissing you off until you rush in so they can gang up on you all at once. And even now as you're trying to come up with a solution for that you hear the marines that weren't completely shellshocked by your attack regrouping behind you. If you don't make a move soon they'll be the ones to surround you first and possibly tire you out before the main course.

>If they want a fight then they'll get one! (Charge)
>Well if they don't want to fight you'll just have to occupy yourself with something else. And you'll make them watch.
>"This is the last time I'll say this. Give back Eliza. Or no more nice Silver!" (show a mangled corpse for reference)
>Other?

This works for us. Remember that the main objective is to save Eliza, if they want to sit around and watch us kill marines then all the better.

I want to know what Kaido is gonna do though. If he attacks the admirals then we should intervene at an opportune time.

Ok, so Silver is smort. To smort to fall for this "he's just a dumb brute" play. But i think we can use this against the marines as an organization.

Show the people fighting that their superiors are willing, even happy, to let them die. Taunt them, transmit their answers and refusal to save their men to the rest.
Let the marines know they are dead even if they win and then offer them a way out. Any chaff or allt who wants out can leave.
Some will, some wont.
But man will it be eggs on Sakazukis face, and it might make him over extend

>Well if they don't want to fight you'll just have to occupy yourself with something else. And you'll make them watch.
They'll get theirs, but not in the way they want.
They're fools if they think we're going to make this easy on them, the sea will be red before we're through.

Supporting this holy shit

We will start by maiming marines then nobles, then celestial dragons
I assume at some point they will be ordered to fight us

>>5545885
Disrupting the orders worked because we used their own voices, these dudes are incredibly brainwashed and borderline retarded.
Us offering them escape would be like the devil himself offering it.
Even if the admirals admit they're throwing their men to the wolves, if they say it in the language of Justice the marines will not question them.
