"Hahahaha now then, Luffy should be going to Ace around now and Garp would be there too." Rei said as he flew upwards overlooking the whole battlefield."hmm kizaru won"t be able to use his fruit to cut the key to Ace"s shackles anymore." Rei said in realization.
"Let"s bring Sengoku away first."
Flying towards Sengoku, Rei created a ice lance from his palm as it thrusted towards Sengoku. Colliding with Sengoku"s haki coated arms Rei pushed him away from the platform.
"Yo Ace! See ya soon!" Rei called out as he pa.s.sed Ace.
*BANG!
The grounds cracked as Sengoku stood up from the impact.
"Yo Sengoku, i"ll occupy you for a little while..." Rei said as he flew towards Sengoku swinging Taema at him. Dodging easily with observation haki Sengoku punched towards Rei"s face. Quickly bringing Taema"s hilt guard upwards, Rei blocked the punch. Digging his heels into the ground he stopped himself shooting off like a cannon ball before he twisted the hilt guard causing Sengoku"s arm to go upwards. Following the motion, Rei cleaved the blade upwards creating a azure sword energy which is about to cut into Sengoku.
However, just before it hit, Sengoku had transformed into a golden budda rendering the attack useless.
"Oi oi, Sengoku. Already using your fruit?" Rei said going back into a combat stance.
"HMPH!!!" Sengoku ignored the comment before bringing his palm towards Rei. Rei quickly dodged sideways as a dome of pressure landed where he had just stood.
"Hahaha dangerous." Rei said before he flew towards Sengoku"s head. Pumping magic into his legs, he also reinforced it with haki before kicking Sengoku.
*BANG!
A loud collision occurred as the kick only caused Sengoku to turn his head.
"Tsk!" Rei clicked his tongue seeing his kick deal minimum damage. Using his wings to fly backwards, Rei quickly dodged a strike from Sengoku"s palm.
"Hmm no more playing around." Rei said as he exerted force into his body.
"TRUE EIGHT INNER GATES: FOURTH GATE OPEN!!!" Rei said as a green aura exploded from his body.
"You"re kidding....he was playing around with the admirals." Some marines said seeing Rei release his pressure.
"Now then Sengoku. Let"s go again." Rei said as he retracted Taema and approached Sengoku ready for brute force combat.
Punching out with his fist, Rei collided with Sengoku"s ma.s.sive body causing the fist to sink in before Sengoku was knocked down.
"Oi Sengoku! Stand up." Rei shouted as he runshed towards Sengoku. Bringing his heels up Rei kicked downwards which caused Sengoku to quickly dodge while retracting his budda form. The heel hit the ground causing large chunks Earth to break apart and shatter.
Taking this chance Sengoku turned around punching his fist towards Rei, who quickly twisted his body horizontally to avoid the hit. Using the momentum from the spin Rei launched a uppercut towards Sengoku. A trail of smoke could be seen shooting upwards as Sengoku was. .h.i.t. Turning back into budda form mid air Sengoku pushed his palm downwards. Coating his arm in armament haki, Rei punched back in response. The vibrations rang out as they put a huge amount of stress in Rei"s arm, the skin started to rip and blood flowed out.
"Holy s.h.i.+t this is an attack you shouldn"t take head on..." Rei said through gritted teeth. Turning his body into mist Rei escaped from the impact area. Rematerialising, Rei quickly traced out his bow and Caladborg 2 covered with purple fire. He drew back the string before shooting it towards Sengoku.
*BOOOOM!!!!
Caladborg 2 hit Sengoku"s torso as a huge explosion of was set off. The dust cleared showing Sengoku injured in his budda form. While the damage wasn"t fatal it was enough to cause pain during a fight.
Suddenly, a pillar of fire erupted upwards causing everyone to turn head as Ace was freed from the sea stone shackles.
"Hahahaha Sengoku seems like our fight will end for now." Rei said as he undid his Fourth Gate and untraced the bow.
"WAI-urg!" Sengoku tried to stop him but the injury on his body caused him to flinch for a second.
This second was all that Rei needed to fly towards Ace and Luffy.
"Yo!" Rei said landing next to them.
"Hahaha Rei!" Luffy said looking at Rei.
"Thank you for distracting Sengoku." Ace said as he looked at Rei.
"Hahahahaha don"t mind it but can you do me a favour and shoot some fire at me quickly?" Rei asked with a laugh.
"Eh why?" Ace replied confused.
"Hahaha you"ll see." Rei said mysteriously.
Shrugging Ace followed instructions and shot some fire towards Rei. Opening his mouth, Rei ate all of the fire easily regaining some more stamina. Everyone watched with eyes wide seeing Rei eat Ace"s fire.
"Hahaha thanks for the meal." Rei said wiping his mouth as purple fire exploded into life on his body.
"Now then shall we go?" Rei said turning around to a shocked Ace and Luffy.
"..." Luffy and Ace continued to look at Rei shocked.
"Oi guys come on we need to get out of here." Rei said once more snapping them out of it.
"Er yeah sure, let"s go." Ace said as he and Luffy followed Rei.
Releasing his conquerors haki as he walked, Rei created a easy path for Ace and Luffy. The marines backed off seeing Ace and Luffy being guarded by Rei.
"How could I let this happen...." Sengoku said watching Rei, Luffy and Ace escape. While Garp on the other hand stood up preparing to fight Rei. He had to at least capture him for all the lives he had taken. Launching himself towards Rei, the ground crumbled from his step.
"Hm?" Rei though before he saw Garp launching himself towards him. Grabbing Garps extended arm Rei tried to throw him away with the momentum. Using air step Garp stopped himself and shot towards Rei once more.
"Luffy, Ace go ahead! I"ll take Garp, don"t worry I won"t kill him." Rei said as he ran towards Garp.
Their fists collided once more as Rei attempted to knee Garp in the stomach. Bringing his hand to block Rei"s kick, Garp grabbed Rei"s leg before he slammed Rei into the ground.
*BANG!!
A crater was formed from the force. Stabbing Taema towards Garp, Rei made him let go of his leg.
"Eight Inner Gates! Fourth Gate open!!" Rei shouted as the green aura exploded out once more. Shockwaves formed as Rei and Garp continued to trade punches and kicks.
*BOOM!! BANG!!!! CRACK!!!!
Devastation occurred as Rei and Garp fought. Blocking a punch from Garp, Rei took this chance to give Garp a right hook. Connecting the punch Garp was sent backwards as he flipped mid air, landing safely Garp charged in once more. Bringing his arms up, Rei blocked a punch that would have hit his head. Rei tried to grab Garp while Garp did the same. Sparks appeared as the armament haki clashed. Gritting their teeth, Rei and Garp had a small contest of strength.
"AAAAAHHHHHRRRRRRRGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!" Luffy"s cry of agony could be heard cutting the fight to a pause. Looking over Rei could see Ace with a hole in his chest and Akainu with his magma arm through it.
"s.h.i.+T! Garp we"ll continue this some other time." Rei said quickly as he need to give Ace Avalon to save him.
"HOLD IT!!" Garp shouted grabbing Rei"s arm.
"LET GO GARP!!!!! FAMILY OR DUTY PICK ONE!!!!" Rei shouted kicking Garp as hard as he could in the torso. This caused Garp to be hit backwards as Rei shot of in a neon green light.
"RED DOG!!!!" Rei shouted as Purple fire coated the swords he traced sending them towards Akainu.
"Oh s.h.i.+t!!" Akainu said quickly retreating from the flaming swords not letting him be hit by them.
"JINBE!!! GRAB LUFFY AND GET AWAY FROM HERE!!!!" Rei shouted as he didn"t want Luffy to see him save Ace. Otherwise Luffy would lose his motivation for training in the next two years. Grabbing Luffy, Jinbe quickly ran off while Akainu tried to chase.
Ignoring that, Rei quickly landed next to Ace who laid still.
"Come on..." Rei said as he traced Avalon which started to heal Ace. The sheath had sent neon blue strings which could be seen fixing Ace"s hole in his chest.
"Oh my G.o.d. I made it in time." Rei said lifting Ace onto his shoulder. Looking around, Rei saw Whitebeard who has started to beat the ever living c.r.a.p out of Akainu. Flying over there Rei landed next to Whitebeard while Akainu was punched away.
"Oi Whitebeard. Ace should be fine now, I got him." Rei said in a voice only Whitebeard could hear.
"Thank....you...Rei...." Whitebeard said weakly as his time was coming.
"Hey Whitebeard, I can heal you now and it should last you for a while." Rei said suggesting to heal him. Shaking his head Whitebeard said.
"It"s fine, it was a good life....I will have to die someday anyways, why run from it. I shall be the boat which will carry my sons to the next era...Gurararahahaha...Just make sure Ace is safe and i"ll be happy." Whitebeard said with a smile as he walked closer to Akainu.
"Whitebeard....." Rei said looking at Whitebeard"s back. Turning around, Rei took off with Ace on his shoulder.
