"Luffy!" Coby shouted, grabbing his captain by the collar just as he was about to rush in, fists raised. "Stop!" His voice was harsh, pulling Luffy back before he could charge headfirst into danger. Luffy, frantic, tried to shake him off, but Coby's grip tightened.

"I'm going to save him!" Luffy yelled, struggling to break free from Coby's hold. His eyes were locked on Ace, who was moments away from being struck down by Akainu's deadly attack.

"You'll just die!" Coby snapped, dragging Luffy backward. "Let Marco handle it!"

Just as Akainu's fist came down, Whitebeard knelt in front of Ace, his massive frame shielding his son. The magma arrived with devastating heat, searing Whitebeard's flesh, but the old man didn't flinch. Akainu's grin widened, and without a second thought, he redirected his attack. His magma-and-haki-coated fist crashed into Whitebeard's head, the heat so intense that half of Whitebeard's face was obliterated in an instant. Blood sprayed from the wound, splattering across the battlefield as the Yonko staggered, but he remained standing.

"Pops!" Ace screamed from beneath Whitebeard, his voice trembling with horror. He tried to move, to do anything, but Whitebeard's massive arm kept him pinned to the ground, protecting him even as his own life ebbed away.

Marco arrived just in time, landing next to Ace with his wings still ablaze. "Pops!" Marco's voice cracked, but he didn't hesitate. He grabbed Ace, his hands burning with blue phoenix flames as he tried to lift him. "We need to get out of here!" But before he could take flight, Kizaru appeared, his body shimmering with light. With a lazy kick, Kizaru's leg stretched out, moving at the speed of light, and slammed into Marco's side.

Marco was sent flying, his body skidding across the ground as he tumbled into the distance. The force of the blow was enough to make even Marco's phoenix form flicker, his flames struggling to heal the damage. Kizaru's usual laziness was nowhere to be found as he turned his attention back to Whitebeard and Ace.

Meanwhile, Aokiji turned his icy gaze on Ace. He ignored Luffy, his focus entirely on the son of the Pirate King. "This ends now," Aokiji muttered, launching a massive wave of ice in Ace's direction. The freezing mist surged forward, threatening to encase both Ace and Whitebeard in an impenetrable glacier.

Akainu, seeing his chance, pressed the attack. His magma fist blazed once more as he aimed for Ace, who was still struggling beneath Whitebeard's heavy arm. "You're not getting out of here alive, Portgas D. Ace!"

Ace, still in shock from Whitebeard's injury, barely had time to react as Aokiji's ice came barreling toward him. The freezing cold was overwhelming, but Whitebeard, even with half his head gone, swung his massive naginata in a wide arc. The ice shattered on contact, spraying shards everywhere.

"Stay back," Whitebeard growled, his voice rough but commanding.

Ace hesitated, but before he could say anything, Akainu surged forward again, his magma fist aimed straight at Whitebeard's chest. This time, the attack hit its mark, burning through Whitebeard's body with terrifying speed.

Ace, finally snapping out of his shock, rushed forward. "No! Pops!"

Three Admirals bullied a very old man and his mentally retarded son. Beating them over and over again.

Whitebeard, blood dripping down his face, didn't hesitate. With what little strength he had left, he grabbed Ace by the neck and threw him across the chasm he had created, using Haki to ensure his son cleared the gap. Ace tumbled on the other side, his flames flickering as he struggled to stand.

Akainu's voice cut through the chaos. "What a bunch of cowards you are, Whitebeard Pirates. Abandoning your captain to die while you save your pitiful lives."

Ace, hearing this, entered full on retard mode. His anger flared, and with a roar, he charged at Akainu again. "Shut up! You don't know anything!" His fists ignited, flames raging as he rushed headlong into battle, not even considering the consequences.

Coby, watching from above, grimaced. "He's going full dumbass now."

Akainu smirked, the magma around his arm bubbling as he prepared for Ace's attack. "What a fool," he muttered, raising his magma-coated fist.

Before Ace could get close enough to strike, Akainu's fist shot forward, his magma searing through the air. The molten punch hit Ace square in the chest, burning straight through him. The force of the blow knocked Ace off his feet, and he collapsed to the ground, huffing and bleeding.

The battlefield went still for a moment. Luffy's eyes widened, shock spreading across his face as he watched his brother burn. "Ace!"

Akainu stood over Ace, his magma fist still smoking. "I told you. Lava burns hotter than fire."

Akainu's magma-coated fist rammed straight through Ace's chest, burning flesh and muscle, leaving a massive hole that would be the source of generation of doughnut jokes. The force of the attacks sent Ace flying towards Luffy who was waiting on the other side. The smell of charred skin filled the air. Ace's mouth gaped open, a silent scream frozen on his lips. The pain hit him all at once, making his body shudder violently.

Luffy's knees buckled as he dropped to the ground, eyes wide in disbelief. "ACE!!!" he screamed, voice cracking, raw and desperate. Tears streamed down his face uncontrollably. "NO, NO, NO! ACE!!!" His voice cut through the chaotic battlefield, but no one could save his brother now. The world itself seemed to blur around him, nothing else mattered but Ace's body lied in his arms.

Ace stumbled forward, his hand shaking as he reached for Luffy. Blood poured from the gaping wound in his chest, each second draining the life from him. "L-Luffy…" Ace's voice was barely a whisper, his strength fading fast. "I… I'm sorry… Sorry I couldn't let you save me. I am sorry..."

Luffy's chest heaved with sobs, holding onto his brother. "Ace… Don't die! Please! I came all this way… Please, don't leave me!"

Ace collapsed onto Luffy, his weight sinking into his little brother's arms. "Thank you… for loving me… as a brother. My only regret is not being able to see you fulfill your dream."

The words barely left his lips before his body went limp, eyes dulling as life slipped away. Ace was dead. 

For a second, time seemed to freeze. Luffy's scream pierced the battlefield again, this time filled with pure agony. "ACEEEEEEE!!!" His voice cracked, his entire body shaking violently, unable to accept the reality in front of him. The remnant lava on Ace's donut hole dripped on Luffy's chest, marking him with searing pain and an X, but he couldn't feel it at all.

Akainu sneered, followed after Ace to finish Luffy and Coby. "One less pirate in the world," he spat, his magma fist still steaming. He aimed for Luffy next.

Before Akainu could strike, Whitebeard's enraged roar echoed across Marineford. His massive frame moved with brutal speed, swinging his naginata at Akainu with all his strength. The ground trembled under his power, and the air split from the force of his quake punch.

Akainu barely had time to react before Whitebeard's attack connected. The force sent the magma Admiral flying across the battlefield, crashing into the ground with a deafening boom. Akainu coughed, blood dripping from his mouth, but before he could recover, Whitebeard was already charging at him again, shaking the entire battlefield with each step.

"YOU TOOK MY SON!" Whitebeard bellowed, his voice filled with raw fury. His giant fist swung down, smashing into the ground where Akainu had landed, causing a massive shockwave that ripped through the ground and shattered everything around them. Marines and pirates alike were thrown back, struggling to keep their footing.

Akainu tried to stand, but Whitebeard's relentless barrage of quake-infused punches kept him pinned down. Each hit sent violent tremors through the battlefield, cracking the earth and causing parts of Marineford to crumble into the sea.
