Even if he had the resolve, we couldn't go anywhere, is what Inazuma said to make sure we were focused. I was about to talk until…

???: If you want to get out of here, then release me from my bonds I could open a great hole in the ceiling of this room!!! How about it, Straw hat? Hehahaha (Weird laugh)

Luffy: I didn't wanna believe it when Sage told me but you are here, Crocodile!!!

Sage: I am hurt Luffy. I told you he would be here. Let me finish what you started.

Ivankov: Wait! We may need him!!!

Crocodile: What are you doing?!?!

Sage: Killing you of course. (With a smile on my face)

It was too late to stop me, I finished snapping his neck and I used Haki for good measure. His neck looked like the bendy part of a straw.

Sage: We don't need him to open a hole.

Jinbe: Wait! Take me with you as well! I swear that I will be of use!! I know Ace, have known him since he first joined the Whitebeard Pirates. He has told me tales of you, his younger brother!! I am locked up here because I objected to this war!! I want to save Ace-san myself!! So please!! Let me die a glorious death!!!

Luffy: Okay. Let him go.

Jinbe's shackles were cut and he was let go. I used the Earth Release: Tunneling technique combined with the Doton: Keijugan no Jutsu (Earth Release: Lightened Boulder Jutsu) and carried us all to the first level.

Jinbe, Ivankov & the "Candies": Sugoi!! (Incredible)

Jinbe: To think that he would easily carry all of us and make a giant hole like it was nothing.

Ivankov: I know! Sage-boy is far stronger than he lets on. You are lucky to have someone under your command like him, Mugiwarboy.

Luffy: It's more like he is guiding me than me commanding him. I get the feeling that he only met me and my crew by chance, of course I am grateful but I feel he is not meant to stay with us for long. I don't blame him though, with someone so powerful is great to have on your side but it will feel like cheating when I become the Pirate king. Funny thing is I doubt that everything he has shown us was his maximum strength.

I heard their conversation and was glad Luffy understood. Luffy was maturing at a faster pace than the original story so I felt that I could leave at an earlier time but I will come back every now and then. I also have to check up on my family anyway so coming back here for vacations is not bad considering the numerous tropical islands.

Ace was already out of the "Gate of Justice" from Impel Down and heading toward Marineford. Magellan and his guards were waiting up top. We were on the 4th level- Blazing h.e.l.l because of the vats of magma. If I hit a spot the entire land ma.s.s I am carrying would be bathed in it so I stopped here. Along the way we met up with Marshall D. Teach, Blackbeard.

Luffy found out that it was because of Blackbeard that Ace was going through the execution. Originally, Blackbeard wanted to take Luffy in but Ace intervened.

Luffy: You're Blackbeard?!

Blackbeard: Huh? Oh, seems I forgot to introduce myself back then. Zehahahaha!! Long time no see Mugiwara!! I was surprised myself when I learned you 'N' my commander, Ace, 're brothers!! Heh, you okay with wastin' yer time here? Your brother's execution's 'bout ta start…Zehahahaha!!! You'll have to thank Ace at his grave because if he hadn't appeared back then… you would've been the one to die, Mugiwara!!

Luffy: Well then…why don't you try killing me me now!!!

Luffy attacked Blackbeard. Luffy was already in fight mode but was met with Blackbeard's Yami yami no Mi (Dark Dark fruit) counterattack, making Luffy's rubber body ineffective. Jinbe stepped in and stopped the fight because we are pressed for time. I tapped Luffy on the shoulder.

Sage: Hey Luffy, do you want to kill him?

Luffy: What?

Sage: Don't play dumb. Do you want him to die? No longer among the living?

Luffy: (With a resolute face) YEAH!

Sage: Then, do you want to do the honors or should I help?

Luffy: I want to kill him but not now.

Sage: Good. I will at least let them remember me, is that fine?

Luffy nodded so I had free reign to show a little strength. I walk forward in front of Blackbeard and his crew.

Blackbeard: Zehahaha, If your captain can't take me down what does he expect from his nakama? You should step away weakling. (Looking at Luffy and everyones expressions drastically change) Huh? It's like you all seen a ghost or somethin'.

Sage: Huh, I guess you and your crew are quite special. Your nervous systems is something to be desired.

Blackbeard: (Looking at a puddle grow by my feet) ZEHAHAHAHA, Did I scare you that bad that you peed yourself? ZEHAHAHAHA!!!

Sage: Hahaha, man how could a dumba.s.s like this beat Ace. You guys are so stupid you can't even tell that I took all of your left arms.

I showed Blackbeard and his crew their severed arms. I was so c.o.c.ky I took the horses leg as well. The moment they noticed, blood almost burst out of the wounds where their arms used to be. I threw their arms in the boiling vats of what I can a.s.sume is lava and watched their arms burn to nothing.

Doc Q: You even took Stronger's leg (His horse), you b.a.s.t.a.r.d!

Sage: Man, f.u.c.k your horse! (I kicked them down). Luffy let's leave these losers here, let's go or we will miss Ace.

Luffy: (After closing his mouth) Yeah, let's go Ivchan!

Ivankov: I really don't wanna anger him.

Jinbe: I can agree with you on that.

Sage: Let me go out first so I can clear out the Marine battles.h.i.+ps and hijack one for ourselves.

Luffy: Go on.

I disappeared and walked out the front with a swagger. Any and all that got in my way died. I broke down the big entrance doors and flung it towards a battles.h.i.+p at high speed making it explode on the spot. At this point I didn't care about my face being seen, it's not like they could stop me anyway. I saw a few battles.h.i.+ps in the distance. I flashed to the top of the mast of the one that seemed the biggest and the most untouched by battle. Once on the s.h.i.+p I blasted all the other s.h.i.+ps away. I jumped down and killed all the Marines on the s.h.i.+p. I took control and turned it around to pick up Luffy and the others. I didn't dock the boat but anch.o.r.ed it close so we can just s.h.i.+p off. I went back into Impel Down's control room to open the "Gates of Justice". Luffy's group finally made it up with Magellan on their heels in his poison demon form. I fired 3 beams at him one on his arm, on the right leg and his gut slowing him down completely as he was p.r.o.ne to have bad diarrhea.

Luffy: Look, Sage is waiting for us and he even got us a s.h.i.+p! Huh, wasn't Magellan right behind us? Oh well, now we can get away and save Ace.

Jinbe: Incredible! I thought that we would have a battles.h.i.+p bombardment but he took care of that too. Again remind me to not get on his bad side.

We s.h.i.+pped off to Marineford VIA the "Gates of Justice", sea currents that connect to Enies Lobby, Impel Down and Marine headquarters. All we had to do was sail to Marineford. If the original story comes back on track, the gate that lets us in Marineford should be opening for us.
