|3rd POV|
Vale laughs loudly as he bulldozes the pirates running toward him. His guardians make sure no bullets even come too close to him while he fights to his heart's content. Kingdew struggled so much that Haruta, Commander of the 12th Division, and Atmos, Commander of the 13th Division, came to help him fight Vale.
However, even with their help, Vale still comes out on top.
Vale's Supreme King Haki flares, and he swings his kanabo at Kingdew, who gets thrown a couple of hundred meters away. He then blocks the sword Haruta swings at him with a grin and grabs his hand. Haruta screams in surprise and screams in pain as Vale throws him at Atmos.
"Take this!"
Kingdew screams as he jumps at Vale once again. His right hand is coated with Armament Haki. However, Vale already sees him through his Observation Haki and challenges him head-on. Red lightning appears and makes Kingdew grit his teeth in pain as the heavy weight of the Supreme King Haki bears down on him.
After a few seconds, Vale comes on top and breaks Kingdew's defence. His fist got through and hit his stomach. Vale does not give him time to recover and dashes forward. He releases a flurry of punches at Kingdew, who tries to protect his vital organs. However, Vale is faster than the pirate, and the attempt fails.
A few seconds later, Kingdew falls to the ground. His body is full of bruises and blood coming from his mouth.
He walks toward Kingdew with a grin on his face, and he deliberately walks slowly, letting the others come at him. As he planned, Haruta jumps toward him while Atmos lands next to Kingdew.
"Get away from him!"
Haruta swings his sword, and Vale blocks the attack. However, Haruta does not stop there. He continues to release a flurry of attacks, making sure Vale is busy while Atmos pulls back with Kingdew's body in his hand.
"Are you sure you can handle me, boy?"
"I am an adult, you bastard!"
Haruta roars in anger. His short stature is a sore spot for him. He swings and thrusts his sword at Vale, trying to land a hit on him. Sadly for him, Vale has the template of Yamato, and he is someone who can fight Kaido to a standstill.
He cannot win against Kaidou, but he can hold himself against the Strongest Creature in the world.
Vale's Observation Haki might not be able to see the future, but it is good enough to predict Haruta's movement. Each time he moves his sword, Vale is there to block and counter his attack. For each thrust, Vale will dodge it and do his own thrusting attack.
After a few minutes of exchanging blows, Vale decides it is long enough and parries the next attack with more force. Haruta grunts at the impact. As he stabilizes his footing, he can see Vale appear in front of him with his Kanabo.
However, before his weapon can hit Haruta, three swords block his attack. Atmos returns, and he is bringing Blenheim, the 9th Division Commander, with him.
"Are you okay, Haruta?"
"Blenheim! Atmos! I am okay."
"Good. We don't want our drinking buddy to die early."
They laugh together for a second before charging at Vale. Instead of getting worried about being attacked by three commanders of Whitebeard pirates, he is excited. With a laugh, he charged at them. He swings his weapon to attack, using his haki-coated arm to block and grapple.
Their fight is so intense that the other pirates and the marines let them fight alone.
Sengoku looks at the distance and makes a note to reward Vale and his family later. Their contribution in this fight is sufficient for him to personally reward them. However, he needs to focus on the problem at hand.
Another variable arrives, and this time, it is Luffy of the Straw Hat Pirates. If he is alone, it is not a problem. However, he brings a reinforcement, and among them are Ivankov, the Okama King, Jinbe, the Knight of the Sea, and Crocodile, the Desert King.
Big names follow him into this battle and create a headache for Sengoku.
The war continues to escalate when Little Oars Jr. manages to push the ship through the barricade, giving the others a path into the inner part of Marineford.
Because of this, Sengoku ordered the Marines on the outer part of Marineford to retreat to the inner part to reinforce the others. Vice Admiral Yamakaji grunted a little as another pirate was able to sneak past his guard, stabbing him with their sword.
"Vice Admiral. Go ahead and retreat. We will handle this area. We will not let the pirates enter the inner part."
Luca blasts another pirate with his pistol while talking to the Vice Admiral. Yamakaji looks at Luca, hesitating for a moment. In the past hour, they have fought together, and he sees the Millefiore Family as someone he can trust.
He doesn't want to leave them in the outer wall and handle the pirates alone. However, as he looks at Vale handling three Whitebeard Commanders alone and even handling the weaker pirates at the same time, he knows that they can be trusted to handle the area alone.
"Don't die, you hear me!? I owe you guys drinks!"
"Hah! Don't worry, we will come out on top!"
"I will hold your words!"
Yamakaji nods and looks at the others.
"Retreat, you lot! We will retreat to the inner wall!"
"Yes, sir!"
Yamakaji orders a third of his units to retreat while the rest hold the outer wall and handle the cannons on the wall, while the Millefiore Family handles the pirates getting close to the wall.
Because of Vale and his family interfering with the canon timeline, Crocodile becomes someone who comes alongside Luffy and his group. Instead of staying at the back and only joining when he is needed, he joins Luffy in charging toward Ace.
However, there is a change in the canon timeline.
While the three Admirals are busy with Whitebeard, a group of people lands next to Ace. All of them were wearing animal masks and dark clothing. They are the Uzumakis.
The guards around Ace look at them in shock and point their weapons.
"Who are you?!"
"We are here to take him away. Someone paid us good money to make sure Portgas D. Ace survived."
"Like hell!"
Before they can even do anything, the Uzumakis move and slice their throat, killing them before they can move. They then use the makeshift key they made after studying the lock while hidden and release Ace.
With a smooth motion, they carry him away and start running.
"I will not let you!"
Akainu roars and releases a massive amount of magma at the running shinobis. However, his attack is cut short as Whitebeard swings his massive glaive at Akainu. The Magma-man is barely able to dodge the attack, and even then, there is a line of cuts on his body.
Whitebeard takes a deep breath and roars.
"Listen carefully, Whitebeard Pirates!"
His voice can be heard across the island as he stands his ground in the middle of Marineford.
"As the Captain, I'm going to give you one last order!"
The entire battlefield stays silent, listening to his words. It is as if the world respects him so much that no fighting can happen when he speaks.
"All of you and I will split up from here! Everyone, survive at any cost and go back to the New World safely!"
After saying that, Whitebeard slams his right leg on the ground and raises his left hand. His Supreme Haki flares, creating a cloud whirlpool above him. He takes a battle stance, and all the Marines prepare for the worst.
"I'm a remnant from the old times! There is no ship that can bear me in the new era!"
With a swing, he punches the air and creates a massive crack in the air. The entire island and even the sea start to shake at his power.
"Go, you guys!"
