One Piece - I'm Whitebeard

"Gomu Gomu no King Kong Gun!" 

Luffy shouted, launching his massive arm like a spring. The huge force slammed Doflamingo into the ground, creating a shockwave around them.

This time, Doflamingo was completely defeated. He couldn't get back up, and Luffy reverted to his normal state, looking exhausted.

Seeing Doflamingo defeated, Apoo and the others were shocked, especially Crocodile, who had fought against Luffy before.

At that moment, Luffy was still weak, relying only on his strategy and fighting spirit to defeat him. But now, the strength Luffy displayed surprised Crocodile. He wondered if he were to face Luffy again, this version of Luffy would defeat him outright.

"Luffy, he's the hope of the next generation," Crocodile sighed. But he always knew that Luffy's era was still far off, and the current era belonged to Whitebeard.

"That straw hat kid's got some serious strength, despite being a fool," Urouge remarked.

"It's impressive, being Ace's little brother," Apoo added.

"Huh, you had us holding our breath there. Pretty good, pretty good," Bonney said casually.

These people are all praising Luffy, but Doflamingo is down. Kaido's pirates are still there, and they continue to fight.

Meanwhile, Aokiji, Enel, and the others over there are fully prepared. Jack, King, and Queen have all transformed into their respective Zoan beasts.

Jack is an ancient mammoth species. While his attack methods are simple, mammoths possess terrifying defensive and recovery abilities, alongside huge size and brute force. Similarly, Queen, in his brachiosaurus form, have tought defense, resilience, and formidable strength.

King, in his pterosaur form, may have weaker defenses compared to the other two, but he compensates with flight capability, agility, and the ability to launch fire attacks.

In this situation, they engaged with Aokiji and Enel. Enel's lightning strikes had no effect on them, and Aokiji couldn't fully freeze them all at once.

Aokiji also couldn't completely overpower them, leaving the three opponents unaffected by Aokiji and Enel's efforts, making the battle situation very tense.

After some battles, Marco and the other five commanders have defeated the Beast Pirates' Tobiroppo, but now they're surrounded by the rest of the Beast Pirates crew.

Marco led everyone in a desperate fight, with Benjamin overseeing the overall situation and occasionally aiding those in danger. His current abilities allowed him to assist but not intervene in major battles, serving primarily as support.

The battle raged from day into night, leaving the battlefield strewn with rubble and smoldering flames. The scattered embers cast a stark glow over the scene.

Benjamin felt the urgency of the situation and decided they needed reinforcements. He promptly contacted other pirate groups for assistance, realizing the current situation was becoming increasingly disadvantageous.

Benjamin contacted Blenheim and Rakuyo, commanders of the seventh and eighth divisions of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Hey, Blenheim? You and Rakuyo, lead your pirate regiments to assist us immediately. The other teams should stay put," Benjamin ordered.

Before the incident, Whitebeard had told Benjamin that he could call for reinforcements if the situation turned unfavorable. However, Whitebeard hadn't shared this information with anyone else.

Whitebeard wanted others to feel the pressure of their situation, and now Benjamin felt they had reached their limit.

"Okay, got it! We're on our way!" 

Blenheim and Rakuyo immediately set off for Onigashima Island upon receiving the order. Eager to join the battle, they quickly arrived with their combined forces, totaling about three hundred people.

Although their number is not large, these three hundred include two commanders who are excellent leaders like Marco and other elite commanders, all having good strength.

Moreover, this newly added force on the battlefield is like a fresh spring, quickly revitalizing the situation.

Their teams, full of energy from waiting, fought fiercely. They pushed through from the battlefield's edges, gradually stabilizing the situation.

With Blenheim and Rakuyo's help, Luffy and the others supernova managed to break free from the encirclement at the battlefield's center and moved towards the outskirts.

However, the fighting here intensified due to the clash between Aokiji, Enel, and the Three Disaster. Ice and fire clashed amid strong earthquakes, keeping everyone on edge and unable to settle down. They continued to fight their way out of the battlefield.

When Luffy and the others finally escaped the battlefield, they felt as if they had been reborn. The battlefield had been like hell, where even those at the level of Shichibukai could become cannon fodder.

"This is horrible. Is this what the Four Emperors' war is like?" Urouge shook his head, remarking that crossing the battlefield felt like passing through the gates of hell.

"Moreover, this is just a part of Whitebeard's power. Even with all these elite fighters, he still got more troops in reserve. That's how powerful the Whitebeard Pirates are," Apoo sighed.

"I think we should join the Whitebeard Pirates. If Whitebeard defeats Kaido, then there'll only be him and Red-hair left among the Four Emperors. I doubt Red-hair can hold out much longer. After that, there'll be just one emperor ruling the seas," Urouge mused.

"Hey, but will Whitebeard let us join?" Bonney also had this idea, but she had some questions.

"It shouldn't be a problem. I heard Kid, Killer, Bege, and Law all joined the Whitebeard Pirates," Apoo reassured.

"Is Captain Kid really going to compromise? That's quite surprising," Hawkins remarked.

"He probably realized the power of the Four Emperors and his own insignificance," Urouge said with a knowing smile, understanding the sentiment well himself.

"Do you want to join Whitebeard's crew?" Crocodile asked suddenly.

They exchanged looks and pondered, then Urouge spoke up: "If we're joining, it's gotta be with Whitebeard. Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense."

There are already many pirate groups affiliated with Whitebeard, but they aren't obligated to follow him closely. It's more like they're associated with Whitebeard in name only.
