A Minute Prior. When 6 Minutes Remained.
Redbeard slammed his axe into the ground! Shattering the floor as a Vice Admiral fell yet again beneath his blade! This is what he had been doing! He knew that eventually, those admirals would move…He needed to whittle down the rest! But his crew was taking for more Casualites…
He was impressed by Leroy's display of strength. But the moment he was that Leroy didn't have much left in him…The clock hitting only 5 minutes…He knew that at any point-
Something would get in all of their way!
"Grahhh…hah…." Redbeard breathed. 'It's now or never…If it it hurts me…My son. You will be safe!' A look of utter determination came over Redbeards face…His hand tossed his pole axe into the air. Spinning round and round gently.
A small lean forward. And Barbosa leapt up into the air! Straight in! Massive vertical over hundred of meters! His cape fluttered behind him. Beard flowing as he stayed elevated for moments. One by one. Eyes began to look onto the Strongest Man…
He raised his up. Up above his head! His hands open.
He he clawed his hands. Gripping the air.
"Ragh!" The air warped around his hands! As if were fabric rippling and creasing as he turned his hands inward! Clenching tight into two fists! And bring his arms into two flexes! A Double Bicep!
The World Began To Shake
It started slow…A light tremor. All across the planet. Ever so slightly. There was a small bit more vibration. But then shaking began to focus! Marine HQ Started to shake. The Icebergs began to move! Swaying slight….Then majory! Before starting to collapse! Ice Shattering! Fall in a massive down fall of titanic chunks!
But the quake continued to intensify! Redbeard only just began to descend…
Murausagi shot forward! Straight towards Redbeard! Right as his arms were starting to move down- But Polo zipped through the air! Slamming into the side of the Admiral and launching him away!
The Entire Island was shaking! Quaking! A true terrifying tremor! Screams and shouts let out as the entire sea began to move!
The Ocean itself began to tilt!
"Go!" Muromachi screamed! The rest of the admirals Shooting forward! But suddenly lost their foot! Kuroryu sliding off to the side. Nokotori going the opposit way. Attempting to freeze himself in place
Marine HQ Began slant to the side! Hundred! No- Thousands Thousands and thousands of Marines and Pirates alike began to slide as the island began tilt to the side! Their orientation, and their view! It was as if the world flipped upside down!
For hundred of kilometers! The entire ocean was disturbed! Enormous Tsunamis washing away from the Island! The very Tectonic plated below began to move! Rising out of the Ocean itself! The Vibrations had pulled them loose and Caused the pierce the water before falling back down! As if mountains came from the depths!
"Hang out wait wahh!" A marin shouted as the chasm formed by Polo lengthened and widened. The entire island was starting to come apart! But before it could properly be too bad. The quake subsided….
But this quake. This level 5 tremor. Having subsided from a 10…Was permanent.
What Redbeard had just done. Would continue…For Decades…
"Holy…Holy fuck! The Islands destroyed!" A Marine shouted! Pulling himself out of one of the massive cracks. It was as if the entire island was a shattered piece of glass. Dust and debris falling constantly. The storm clouds were gone…The sheer power hand cleared the sky…But it was dark…
The icebergs too were gone. Ocean in a torrent.
"Leroy! Are you Okay!" Eliza said. Picking him up. "Yeah yeah…Im aight…Lets go! We've got a path forward!" He pointed forward! Exposing how Marines were all left in shambles. Even the Vice Admirals. But he could see that the Clock was ticking! Ticking!
Ticking!
The Scaffolding was left undamaged! Jack seemed to be gone! But Muromachi was still there. Standing straight! The executioners were regaining their posture! Standing back up. Blades in hand!
Redbeard clenched his fist. Attempting to summon energy into his fist…
A pang shot through his arm! He collapsed forward! His heart! He- it was fluttering. Head dizzy. World now spinning for him. Chest Tightening he could feel his heart! A Heart attack!
Blood spat from his mouth. Vessels rupturing as he clutched his chest…
Polo spotted his Captain even from that distance. His eyes narrowing 'Shit…He's having a heart attack. His Carcinoma got too much with out his medicine. He pushed himself too far!' He clashed back against Murausagi
Muromachi's voice boomed over the battlefield. Even the cameras picked it up. The entire world was watching in horror. And utter Awe.
"Eudora D. Azar! In the Name of The World Government. By the graces of Dragons. And through the Power of The Marines. For the Crimes of your father. The Threat your life poses to the sanctity and peace of our fair and just world. I declare your life forfeit!"
The Clock tower. Still Standing. Undamaged. Dinged. The Bell Ringing again and again and again…Leroys mind began to race as he stepped again and again! Attempting to scramble forward!
"Your death will pave way to a New Era!" The Fleet Admiral. With Almost all 12 billion eyes on the planet, looking, listening. Aware of what happening. Gave the order, with simple nod
The world seemed to move in slow motion to Leroy. Not from Adrenaline. Not from combat. But from fear and terror. He close…But too far away! He knew his grandpa wouldn't do anything. He knew he couldn't…He failed…
Azar. Closed his eyes. Thinking to Sara…To Mamtha. Jack. The Crew. Leroy…
The Executioners raised their blades above their heads! And began to swing down…
"STOOOOOPP!!!" Leroy screamed! And in an instant! Force explode from in side of him! Dispelling dust and wind! Blowing people and object around away all the same! Even Eliza was shocked suddenly! It wave of pressure!
Wave of energy!
Of will to stop!
Thousands of Marines, afflicted by exhaustion. Fell to their knees! Their minds turning off! Foaming at the mouth as their eyes rolled behind their head!
So too did the executioners. Blades clattering against the ground without even touching the man!
Everything went quite…
