The massive geographic structure loomed above the Marine Headquarters, casting an enormous shadow that was long and angled from the lowering sun near the horizon! Such a sight was monumental to see, it broke through the low hanging clouds and mixed into the orange and blue hues of the sky! It was as if divine retribution was falling down from the heavens!
It was going to take a mere 15 seconds for it to fall…
"Fire!" The Marines all shouted to one another, the Anti-Material machine gunner positions aimed the enormous double barrel artillery and fired off hundreds of rounds! The enormous 10k guns also aimed up, readying their sights to pull and devastated even small parts of the massive piece of rock!
"How-How did captain do that?!" The Pirate next to Polo asked frantically. Frozen in fear and a stream of consciousness leaking from his throat
"Simple. He pulled it from the ocean and brought it here. Probably sensed the island about…75 Kilometers from here." The Pirate, Jansen, widened his eyes at the sheer notion! "Pulled it? As in plucked it from the sea?! Why would Captain use that much energy?!"
"Not much at all really…"
The two looked back at the massive island descending downward. Polo had no real look on his face. But Jansen…Jansen was damn near close to passing out!
Three other eyes were locked on the monument of impending doom. The Three Admirals all stayed seated in their golden thrones with blue cushions. Each had their legs rested in a different way. Argento had his right resting on his knee. Asashi had his legs spread. And Seiko had his legs crossed. His head leaning against his hand
ㅤ
"I'll handle it." Argento said as he put his hands on the scrolling spiral ends of the thrones arm rests. With a quick push he stood to his feet and gave a sigh of what could only be seen as boredom.
His body began to glow! That hue of purple engulfing his body as he looked up to the sky! It was mere seconds from impact! The glow of The Purple Hare became so intense that Asashi, the man sat in the middle, of the other two, recoiled slightly as his eyes remained closed
"Look!" A marine shouted, pointing to the dazzling light that the Admiral was producing!
In faster than the blink of an eye, and at the literal speed of light, the admiral shot upwards like a shooting star! Zipping up the hundreds of meters in nanoseconds! Rematerializing him self, as his mind worked at nearly the same speed he traveled at! Murausagi appeared below the island, his hand glowing like a star in the sky!
"Clara Lux!" Argento raised his hand up! And a beam shot through the air! Zipping upwards, it was so fast that to a majority of the marines saw it almost like a bullet, or a lamp illuminating a dark room! But the moment it pierced the rock, the beam erupted into an enormous fire ball! The explosion was so enormous, so sheerly monumental that the shock wave could be felt across the entire battle field to some degree!
But that was the least of it, the moment the beam penetrated the island and exploded, it caused the entire structure of the island to be almost entirely vaporized! Fractures, fissures, cracks and chunks formed through the entire island! It had been reduced to only a storm of chunks no bigger than a few meters in a singular moment!
"He did it! Admiral Murausagi did it! He took out the entire island!" A Marine screamed to his comrade. Debris rained down, peppering the landscape with chunks of rock. Some slammed into houses, others into marines. But there was not a single fatality!
ㅤ
Murausagi landed back on the Execution platform, and sat back down. Lounging backwards
It was finally time…The War was on!
"Now! Attack!" Muromachi screamed into the PA system! The Marines immediately opened fire! Hundreds, no, thousands of rounds were fired at the Fancy and Redbeard! Some of the bullets even his Redbeard himself, but merely bounced off of his skin!
"Charge!" The Emperor Commanded! Raising his poleaxe in declaration! From the sides of the massive ships, shutters opened and gang planks dropped to the concrete platform locking the ship in place! Hundreds of Pirates spilled out!
Polo grabbed Jansen and leapt over the side of the ship!
It was the 14th and 15th divisions of the Redbeard Pirates! These Two divisions were known for their support roles in both combat and voyages! It only made sense to have them be the first wave of souls to attack the Marines!
Their Commanders, the Duo Known as the Terrible Two, launched out of the Sides of the Ship and charged hand in hand with their Divisions! There had to be at least 2,000 Pirates flooding the battle field at that time!
Ban- A Man standing at 6'3 and was an athletic framed man with blonde slicked back faded hair wore leathers. An open vest with a beige linen shirt underneath it, leather pants and combat boots on his feet! He wielded a pair of flared headed maces that seemed to glow as he leapt into the air!
ㅤ
Dye- a woman with short straight brown hair that didn't go back her ears! She was adorned in a similar outfit to her partner, but instead of a vest, it was a brown corset that wrapped tight around her waist! Instead of a pair of Maces she wielded dual war picks!
"Go my Family. Keep them there…What I'm about to do- I know you will survive." Redbeard whispered to himself "Hell I know that this ain't gonna kill any of em…They won't allow it too…"
"But the fights begun! I can't just stand around and look pretty! Lets make this interesting!" He yelled to himself as his eyes widened! He leaned forward, and crossed his arms…his fists balled tightly as strains!
"Hrrrah!" He slammed his hands outwards! And-
The sky shattered! As if like glass, around Redbeards fists, cracks formed across the very air! It was not lightning, nor was it an energy that moved, but was quite literally as if the air was glass! The Emperor shattered it!
All around. For dozens and dozens of kilometers, the water of the sea suddenly ceased all movement! It was as if they were sitting in the calm belt itself! The calmness nearly stretched to the horizon!
ㅤ
"What just happened?!" A Marine asked, cutting down a Pirate in front of him
It was the power of his Devil Fruit! The Quake Quake fruit!
Muromachi furrowed his brow as he watched the man perform this feat! His eyes shot down to where the Marshals all stood, not a single one of them had begun to move! Bitting his lip he yelled into the PA system again!
"Ready yourselves! This is the man we're fighting! We cannot let him make it to the Prisoner! Only 2 hours remain!"
"Fight!" He yelled as the ground began to shake and quake! The Emperors fruit had literally sent vibrations into the ground beneath them all the way down to the seabed, where he then manipulated the very tectonic plates to form!
Enormous Tsunami's! It was a singular enormous wave that encircled almost the entire fortress like a dome! Millions of tons and billions of gallons! The waves rose hundreds of meters into the air over a mile up! Redbeard was ready to level the playing field!
"That Man! He has the power to destroy the world!" Muromachi screamed as the waves continued to rise! Moment away from washing the entire island to a flat surface!
