chapter 29

finally, it was the day it will all end, for ace at least, the man is supposed to die in a dramatic way, giving Luffy the drive to seek out strength, Arowen knew everything that would happen he could choose to save him or just follow the story, but what would he chose, it is up to him

every marine in the base was on high alert, ace had a lot of allies after all, and those allies had allies of their own and so on and so forth, the situation wouldn't be like the execution of the king of pirates, i know that you would think that the king of pirates execution should have more resistance, after all, he was the mother-fking king, but no his execution went on smoothly, no resistance at all, now don't you find it suspicious in the least, after all he had a lot of allies and followers, you don't get recognized as king just like that much less a king of pirates who are known as a chaotic bunch, one needs to have one hell of a reputation to earn that kind of respect and acknowledgement, but in the end he was executed and there was no fuss about it, the truth of the matter is that Gol D Roger handed himself in, he surrendered to the marines willingly, the king of pirates no matter how famous he is, how much treasures he had, and no matter how much followers he had, in fact he was not only the wealthiest and the most famous in the world, Gol D Roger was THE STRONGEST MAN ALIVE at his reign, and after he died the title was given to white beard, so even with his strength it didn't matter, in the end he could not escape the mortal coil, he could,'t escape his mortality, in the end he was a mortal, and caught a disease an incurable one even by the one piece worlds medical standards which by the way is bordering magic for some doctors, so he made a deal, a private deal with Monkey D Garp, he will serve himself on a silver platter and in exchange, Garp will take care of his only son, he will erase any evidence of ace every being in contact or related to him, and it succeeded, that is until now of course, in the end some loose ends were left and it got out that ace was Roger's son

now Ace is gonna be executed, and unlike his father, he didn't offer himself up and those who care about him will most definitely do all that is in their power to save his life,

in this war to come Arowen plans on surviving, so he needs to focus, he is sure that his power is all the way up there in the strata, the only problem is that he didn't have enough time to practice his haki enough to reach the level of those old monsters, but what he could do would be able to allow him to fight admirals and even kill them if he does it fast enough, any battle of attrition would end up with him loosing, the power of haki is the power of your will, so if it is exhausted you will lose consciousness, the results after that are quite obvious, you see whenever your armament haki blocks a strike it ships away at your willpower, if it is broken the amount of willpower exhausted rise up exponentially so one should be careful

Arowen was brooding over what would happen and how he would be able to complete the objective, there will be many pirates coming to save our little prince,

a few hours later at noon, the gate of justice was under attack and you could hear an obnoxious voice screaming

"AAAAAAACE, IIIIIII CAAAAAAAME TOOOOO SAAAAAVE YOUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!"

as you can already imagine, the voice was of the one and only mugiwara no luffy, the idiot that sails the sea with as much luck as the water in it, and as he remembered the voice screamed idiot, Arowen hated that kind of people the most, some fool who goes around spouting nonsense, having an ego as big as the heavens, and despite all the mistakes he makes, he survives, that is just bullshit, Luffy should have died ages ago during his journey, and no matter what he does he wins in the end, if that is not the worlds favorite son, he doesn't know who is

nevermind now, in brief Arowen hated Luffy and that's just it, there is no need to go into more details, there so much to say about it and it will never end, as for Ace ?!! what about him? the man was destined to die, there is no way for Arowen to save him, in fact, he will not even try to do so, he even wants to acquire his devil fruit instead, it will be very useful if he gifts it to a blacksmith of his, or an alchemist or whatever, but he can't be certain he will get it as he doesn't know the mechanism behind how the fruit power transfer when the host die and I will not be explaining that either

10 minutes later, more than 50 pirate ships were almost at the port and warcries were sundering the heaven, the pirates landed and were attacking the marines, the white beard pirates were the vanguard of the attack, with white beard himself overseeing them while holding his halberd, Arowen got ready and was a little bit nervous, after all, this is his first war ever, he was in the middle of the marine defense so the attack didn't reach him quite yet and he could observe the battlefield

when the pirates first reached the marines, all kind of weapons clashed, so were even fighting with bare hands, and soon after blood started flowering in the air, driving people in a frenzy, marine and pirates alike had their eyes go bloodshot, there was so much savagery, pain, and violence, that was war, and to calm himself he took a deep breath inhaling the smell of iron, the smell of blood, in just a few seconds of the exchange the battlefield was pungent with the smell of blood

Arowen felt his blood pressure rise and his body grew hot, all over the battlefield there were corpses and most of them were not complete, the battle only started for a few minutes now and it was bloody and gory, unlike anything shown in the anime the was censored for the viewer, at that moment he watched the fight from a VIP seat, everything was bare before his eyes the cruel reality of war, there was only bloodshed and he didn't mind it

'i must have some screws loose for sure hehe'

by now the battle already reached him and he was met with his first opponent, a transvestite, another thing Arowen hated, this opponent of his wasn't much of a challenge, by the standards of the grand line he was above average that is for sure, but in front of Arowen he was just a minion, fodder for a better choice of words, and with only one super fast slash he was cleaved in two, the sharpness of his sword ain't no joke
