Queen of the Pirates

Roger's Bloodline

"Straw Hat Luffy!" the Marines call out the second that Luffy lands before them.

"Luffy!" Ace screams out.

"Let me have Ace!!" Luffy screams before no doubt attacking whoever is in his way.

"Well, now that we have him over there, what the hell are all of us still over here going to do?" I look up at Ivankov. "We have to get over to help Luffy as quickly as possible."

"I agree," Ivankov nods. "I was against him going over by himself, but he's quite a stubborn boy. We'll wait until Jinbei Boy returns and decide our next move."

"Hey, that guy who jumped over the wall is Ace's little brother!" a pirate shouts.

"He's as foolhardy as his brother!" Whitebeard exclaims. "OARS! Stay there! We need your help!"

"Pops," Little Oars groans as he pushes himself into a sitting position.

"Jozu! Play our trump card!"

"Aye-aye!" Jozu, whoever that man is, replies.

"Get everybody ready! We're going to storm the plaza!"

The Whitebeard Pirates let out a battle cry.

"Well, he made it over there," Jinbei says as he steps up to Ivankov, the Candy Boys, and me. "Now we have to get over there as well."

"Sounds like Whitebeard has a plan for his people, which means we have to figure out a way for us," I say.

"Too bad you can't throw us all over at once, Jinbei Boy," Ivankov says.

"Hm, all we need is like a ladder to the top of the wall," I look up, seeing past the wall to where Ace still waits at the execution platform. "Say, who's the man up there with Ace? Not Grandpa Garp, but the other guy."

"That's Sengoku the Buddha," Jinbei answers. "He's the Fleet Admiral. The man at the very top of the Navy in charge of everything."

"Well, I wasn't wrong thinking of him as the Navy Leader," I sigh, look down at my shoes. Then my head snaps up to look at my favorite drag queen. "Oh, Iva! Remember back at Impel Down when your head was huge!?"

"Of course I do!" Ivankov grins. "That's how I saved everybody by letting them climb on."

"Do that again! We'll climb up your head to the top of the wall and then drop down into the plaza!"

"DO IT!" Sengoku shouts.

My head quickly looks back at the execution to spot the executioners raise their swords above Ace's head to prepare to take it off.

"ACE!" Luffy's scream fills my ears, and I notice my mouth is open, but I didn't even realize I was screaming my brother's name.

And at the last second the executioner men are cut down by scythes of sand that are controlled by none other than Mr. 0 himself: Crocodile.

"WHO IS IT!?" the Marines scream.

"You!" Sengoku snaps. "We thought you wouldn't interfere because of your grudge against Whitebeard! Crocodile!!"

A ball of blue fire in the shape of a giant bird flies up and lands on the top of the wall, turning back into the blond man that has been at Whitebeard's side most of today. His arms remain blue flame wings as he looks down.
