The battle carried on with no end in sight and the marines surrounded Whitebeard. It was then when Sengoku spoke up over the battle. "If you wanna see the future, I'll show you now, Whitebeard!" He had mocked his claim in that moment by... "Do it!" Ordering for the execution to continue as the men were replaced.
"Ace!" Seeing the blades once again being lifted the pirates screamed for their comrade.
"Ace!" While Luffy was running with all his might.
"It's no use!" Whitebeard began stepping forwards shouting and Luna knew what he was about to do. "Do you think that I can't stop you for doing it!?"
"Stop it!" She tried to stop him, but she didn't need to as fell to his knees due to the effects of his injuries and old age.
"See if for yourself, Whitebeard!"
"Don't do it!" Luffy was trying to break his way, but is stopped by the Marines. He was pushing through them, but take down one of them and two more just replaced him. Luna looked up at Ace, from where she was standing she would have been able to do something, however, she had been pushing herself a lot and there was also another factor preventing her. "Don't do it!" Everything seemed to be at a lose but a large chill creeped up Luna's spin as the blades came down. "DON'T DO IT!!" She had been the first to feel it but soon the executioners, along with many of the Marines and Pirates around came collapsing to the ground around Luffy. "I'm on my way!" And while he took off once again, everyone seemed to be in a state of shock for what the boy just did.
"Hey, was that...!?" Ivankov was about to ask Luffy about what he did, knowing what it was.
"Conqueror's... Haki!" People were in shock that someone so young was capable of using such a power.
"Hey, come on! For real!?" Aokiji couldn't seem to believe it.
"That was surprising!" But he was not the only one.
"That brat..." Even Whitebeard seemed shocked at this discovery.
"That's not good." Luna stated, as this was not the first time he used it. However, there was going to be even more problems now that the Navy knew he could use it. Meanwhile Luffy keeps advancing towards the execution platform and with less people stopping him, he was getting closer.
"Look! Ace is alright!"
"Hey! Hang in there!" Some of the pirates were trying to awaken those that gotten knocked out by Luffy's Haki. "Was that Ace's little brother!?"
"What was that?" Some of the marines that were in the blasted didn't completely lose consciousness as they were pushing themselves off the grounds.
"I nearly passed out..." Some of them seemed confused and weak due to the aftermath.
"He's got the Conqueror's Haki, just like Pops and Red Hair!" While others were shocked at the power Luffy possessed as they have seen it before, from those far above him in power.
"S-So he's the one who did it?" Marco question as he was holding his wound from Kizaru's attacks.
"It seems he did it subconsciously." Akuinu stated since the haki had knocked out both friend and foe.
"He's got some frightening powers hiding in him..." Kizaru commented this while the last of the Admirals, Aokiji seemed surprised in silence.
"So he did inherit it, after all..." As others were surprised at Luffy's power, Garp seemed to be the only one that was not, other then Luna, as it appeared that he suspected this was the case being who's blood runs in his veins.
"You too?" But it's brother was shocked at this point, as his younger power possessed the power so little people have.
"Weak-willed men, stand back!" This command had been shouted but Vice Admiral Doberman as he stated that Luffy was not an ordinary rookie. "The Conquering King's Haki... He's the son of Dragin the Revolutionary. I suppose we should have known he'd have it."
"Vice Admiral Doberman..."
"About what vyou just did..." Ivankov had made his way beside Luffy as he did not suffer from the effects of Luffy's Haki. "Where did vyou learn to use that power?"
"Huh? Use what?" But the young man had no idea what they was no about.
"Never mind." And it caused them to realise that Luffy done it without even meaning too, which meant the power was still dormant but still able to show meaning it was more powerful then most.
"Conqueror's Haki... A power that is said to be the qualities of a king." Luna began speaking to herself, watching Luffy from a far. "Only living beings with a strong will can possessive it's, however, it still needs to be trained in order to use it."
"Don't let him escape this war alive! if we let him go, he'll become a terrifying enemy!" The marines were understand how dangerous Luffy truely was, other then the fact he was Dragon's son. "Take down Straw Hat, without fail!" The marines all cry battle cries before charging for Luffy with their weapons in hand. However, they had been blasted away by a powerful force. Luffy and Ivonkov stood by in shock looking at the power. It was there where Whitebeard stood, chuckling as he stood before the marines.
"You cowardly marines... you're really that afraid of one kid?" He had come to asking them, looking down at them laughing.
"It cant be helped, they are pathetic." Luna was standing on his shoulder, stating with her arms cross. "After all, they forgot that it was your head they were after." When she had said that, Whitebeard had used his powers again to seen Marines off flying.
"Damn, it's Whitebeard!" They had remembered his existence.
"You earned your reputation as a monster quite well." Luna was looking down to him stating, she didn't even move from where she stood on his shoulder.
"Take him down, at all costs!" The Marines thought that they could actually take him down.
"Fine by me." And it seemed to have amused the old man.
"We will back the Old Man up!" His commanders and Jimbe were standing behind him, ready to fight.
"Don't be afraid! Charge!" The marines seemed to have become distracted by Whitebeard, his men, Luna and Jimbe, so Ivonkov thought this was the chance to continue for Ace.
"Don't let Straw Hat get away!" However, Doberman was not as his eyes were only on Luffy. A few of his men were heading for Luffy and Ivonkov. But when they come swinging their weapons, Luffy was able to stop and attack them himself. Whitebeard had began his assault on the marines as they were attacking him all over the place. They fire off Bazookas at him, but Luna stopped them with her telekinesis and sent them flying back to those that fired them. The commanders behind them were taking out the marines that tried to attack Whitebeard from behind.
"You've all ganged up on us, eh, Marines?" Luna could see that Whitebeard was beginning to struggle. It was clear that he was already pushing himself but he was losing too much blood.
"Oi, Newgate. If you keep pushing it, your going to die." She had tried to tell him to slow down due to his injuries.
"Men!" But instead he had suddenly began shouting and for Luna that was far worse because of her inhuman abilities and the fact that she was literally sitting on his shoulders. However, Whitebeard had caught all his men's attention. "As of this moment... lend Straw Hat Luffy... all of your strength!"
