Undying Will

Borsolino groaned as he stood atop the deck, the cheerless brood of clouds above head did little to lighten his somber mood.

And how could his mood not be somber, with the rabid booms of canons in the background and the continuous roar of dying people. It isn't to be misunderstood, it wasn't that Borsolino cared about those people, or just people in general, it was more that he found that noise annoying.

If it was up to him, he would have participated alongside the rather stealthy older Vice Admiral. But that was not his orders, so of course he remained on the ship, lazily looking across from the deck of the ship while ignoring the small collection of shivering marines behind him.

His compatriots however were not as 'enthusiastic', the magma man stood to the side, glaring bloody murder at the clashing forces, not a hint of fear in his eyes. He stood straight, as he had often done his cap slung neatly across from his head, a small collection of white hair had begun to grow over his ears as a deep growl arose from his chest.

"Damn pirates.." he grumbled darkly as he ground his teeth together. As if it took all the discipline in the world to keep him from going out and enacting his justice on the world.

It was his third compatriot that Borsolino was most surprised by however, (well as surprised as Borsolino could get) a man that had often stood shoulder to shoulder with Sakazuki and volunteering for every single hunting mission that had been sent the man that they called the fiery Kuzan now sat at the very end, overlooking the roiling sea as he picked his nose. Uncaring of both his image and the overall conflict that he was a party to.

The man sat calmly, his hands on his chin, as he whistled tunelessly. A bored gleam in his wide eyes as he regarded the marines around him.

"Eh~~~ Kuzaan what are you brooding about?~" Borsolino began, his needlessly sing song voice grating roughly against the ears off all those on board.

Kuzan ignored him however, opting instead to slowly and lethargically scratch his head.

'Interestiiing~' Kuzan thought still smiling as he looked back at the overwhelming battle, even though they were at the periphery, he could not help his heart from palpitating as he occasionally heard the loud bang of clashing fists, no doubts the evidence to the two emperors still duking it out.

His eyes slowly dilated as he threw his hands forward, a laser like ray shooting out of them as he spotted a small ship that was fleeing from the battle, a subsidiary crew of Big Mom's no doubt, or the pathetic few that remained of them. Oh well, no one would miss them.

"Don't slack off men!" Sakazuki roared as he noticed the sparkle man's movement, with a quick step he had walked over to his side of the ship, with a deep breath he glared at the canon crew.

His eyes blazed as a plume of smoke slowly rose off his nose, his face had turned to magma, yet his hat remained unburned, not even slightly bothered by the intense heat that the man gave off.

Slowly a grim smile began to stretch upon his face, for as the war intensified, the weaker crews had no choice but to retreat. And what they ended up retreating to was the naval ambush that he had set up.

'Serves you right damn criminals!' he thought excitedly in his heart as a childish sense of jubilation rose in his heart. He genuinely believed that he was serving the course of justice.

"Oh~ Would you look at that! The Vice Admiral is finally mooovinggg~" Borsolino drawled out as his sunglasses flashed. He was right too, for just as he finished his statement the apelike Vice Admiral made his move, smashing through the escapade he assaulted the weakened empress who had just been unbalanced.

His hands glowed a bright black as he mercilessly drove his fist towards the women's abdomen.

"Prometheus!" The empress shrieked, as her flaming hair began to unravel. Within an instant the flaming orb had formed a literal shield before her. It was to no avail however, for even before the shield could even fully form, the aged Vice Admiral had ploughed right through it ramming a terrifying Haki infused fist into the gargantuan empress.

The old women roared as she cannonballed out of the wreckage that she had been fighting in, ploughing straight through more than five ships before she finally came to a halt, heaving as she held on.

Prometheus glared, his eyes seeing red as he saw the women fly off, his form shimmering as it expanded. With a boom it roared forward, a terrifying explosion ramming into the old man.

Garp glared at the orb, before swiping his fists towards it. He did not know any fancy techniques, all he knew was this punch. If a single punch would not break what was before him he would punch twice. It was that simple.

With a bellow the Beast roared, angry that his foe had been stolen. His mace fell forward, ramming ruthlessly into the old Vice Admiral's back as he attempted to deal with the barely tangible angry ball of fire.

"GAAAAAARRRPPP!" He roared, his fists raining down towards the Vice Admiral, only to land on the flaming ball. Garp had successfully evaded both of his strikes, barely mind you. But he had evaded them.

His fists shook slightly as the skin upon it broke, the heat from the blob had been too much.

"GARP!" A second roar sounded as Charlotte linlin barreled forward a noxious rage upon her face. Her Sharp sword waved in her right hands as she landed on the broken yet somehow still floating ship that the Beast and the old Vice Admiral stood on.

Prometheus simmered happily as it immediately roared higher taking Kaido off guard. Though it could not truly injure the man, just the suddenness of his actions had caught him off guard.

With a joyful wave it flared upon the fat women's head, tongues of flame licking the manic women's face affectionately.

And as the three superpowers stared at each other with rancor, one Charlotte Katakuri gnashed his teeth in anger.

"ALL BIG MOM PIRATES! ATTACK THOSE MARINE DOGS!!" His voice echoed; and as it reached the tiny ship that had suddenly become the target of both massive crews, even Sakazuki could not help but gulp.
