I was resting on Island I was taken. Those horrible scenes are still vivid in my vision. I could see those scenes, every time I close my eyes... Dying people and fading life forces were akin to candles placed in a windy valley. Waiting to blow out.
Soldiers oblivious to the World's highest powerhouses. The top brass was aware of, who would they face. They have seen the power of the Admirals or faced with Yonko's. Maybe it wasn't a full-scale war, but still, they witness those powers.
But those ignorant, unaware the terror of the Yonko, stayed on the spot, in ongoing war. During a continuing battle, stiffening means death. I also froze on the spot when I first witness the power of the Whitebeard and Admirals. Who could have guessed, same devil fruit can create such a destructive force. To be able to shot an earthquake from one's hands. How in the world is this fair?
When we were on the ship, the current brought us to the Gate of Justice. I was planning to go the other side of the door with flying and open the door. But to my surprise doors opened. Crow told me it was one of the Blackbeard's executives hypnotized the workers assigned with Gate of Justice to open the doors to anyone coming.
When Crow told me the reason why would Blackbeard do that, I got furious. Blackbeard infiltrated the Impel Down and was going to release lots of pirates.
Why you never told me about it, I could jump to the prison earlier and stop Blackbeard! I was angry with Crow. All those pirates were scums with sickening crimes. There were some pirates even I caught and handed over to the Marines. Now, I had to let them run.
"When Blackbeard enter the prison, he made the death match with those criminals. Only the strongest walked out of the Prison. Going there with your power has only two options. First, you die. Second, you run away, without achieving anything at all.
You have to learn how to use Haki. Haki is the real power in this world. There are some devil fruits users, are able to tear the Worlds down with just a single attack. Without Haki, you can't fight with them. You have seen the power of Haki. Even with your reinforced body, you weren't able to pass through Aquilo's armament. You weren't able to hit a single punch to the Wrinkled Old Man.
Freya's Lord, for example, sent her to eat a devil fruit. Devil Fruits may be an important help in Chosen's fight. But they will not be as useful as Haki."
Wow, you twist the subject like a politician. I asked you, why you didn't let me know about Pirate escape. I could prevent them to terrorize the world again.
"The plan you are following at the moment will allow you to clear quest much easier. If you went to fight those pirates in the prison even if you were to able to save Anne and Luffy in time, you could not execute the plan you were working last 2 months. Thus making it harder for you to clear the New World from Templars. Also, it would take at least a few more months for you to go to Naruto World. You wouldn't want to keep Sasuna waiting, right?"

You evil bastard!
When the ship passed through the Gate of Justice, current carrying ship started to accelerate. Before we could understand what is happening, a monstrous wave started to climb over the ship. Jinbei took over the helm and rode the tsunami. Suddenly, the enormous wave, able to reduce cities into nothing, froze. Froze solid with its unbelievable height.
"The force created the tsunami was Whitebeard's Earthquake power, and the one making it froze was Admiral Aokiji's. Now tell me, how do you plan to fight with these names?" asked Crow.
Crow didn't want me to come to this war. Not that he didn't want to save Anne or help Luffy, but he was worried about me. Crow was a bigger fangirl than me when it comes to the Luffy, but he always puts me to highest priority. I had to admit though, I wasn't strong enough to fight these powers. But neither was Luffy. Crow's main argument was the Original Series. He knew that Luffy will be alright, but things don't go as the Original Series all the time. And I am not willing to bet Luffy's life on it.
After some debate, because we followed Luffy's plan, taking the ship down from the Iceberg we started to fall from Iceberg to the battlefield. While we were falling, Luffy and others were still fighting whose mistake, it was. I started to watch the battle going on. Anne was placed on the scaffold with two executioners. There was also a man with a long-tressed beard. He must be Sengoku. Fleet Admiral. Highest authority over the Marines. Front of the scaffold, sitting three men on three chairs. These must be admirals.
The other side of the battlefield was a huge man with a crescent mustache, standing on a ship built as a white whale. He had a bisento on his right hand and was smiling ear to ear, looking over the battlefield.
Is he the Whitebeard?
"Yes. He is the strongest man on the world," said Crow.
"But... He has no beard." Are you kidding me? How is this a whitebeard?
"Well, you see, the creator of this world was Japanese, and the word means beard also means facial hair. Thus his original name is White Facial Hairs. But, it doesn't look fancy in English and translated as Whitebeard."
Right. It makes sense, I guess.
Between these two leaders, fighting their crews. When I looked down, where would we fall, I saw there was a big hole opened up inside the icefield. We would fall there with the ship. After we fell, I was shocked by my first experience of war. People were screaming everywhere and people were dying everywhere. To be honest, I still don't like these pirates. There is only one reason for me to come in here is the help Luffy.
Crow told me about Whitebeard and his deeds. But this fact doesn't change he is a pirate scum. So, I wasn't going to save him. But when Luffy disappeared from my sight, I reflexively followed him with flash. When I arrived Luffy, he was in the Second Gear, stopping the Crocodile. Turns out Crocodile was trying to kill Whitebeard.
Luffy's Second Gear was, kinda doping. He could pump his blood flow in his veins to accelerate and make him faster. Normally, this would cause veins to explode, but because Luffy is the rubber man, he doesn't get affected by it. Luffy also has Third Gear state. In this state, Luffy blow air onto his bones to make them as big as giants. He can make one of his limbs as big as giants limbs.
After Crocodile stopped, which even without Luffy's help, Whitebeard could kill him with just a blow, Whitebeard crew gathered around Crocodile. I made a Water Jutsu, kept it in my hand and said: "Scram or I will drown you!" Whitebeard looked Luffy and me. Mostly to Luffy and they talked about Anne. Luffy didn't put Whitebeard to his eyes and said boldly "I will be the Pirate King!" Declaring this sentence, in front of the Strongest Man in the World, was very bold. But Whitebeard just laughed and didn't say anything more.
Luffy jumped down from the ship and I followed. In this war, my only objective was to protect Luffy and save Anne. As Madara of course. As Hitomi, this stage would be where I shine. At least, I was thinking...
