Dragon and Sabo were unhappy to say the least. They had just received a report from Impel down that Monkey D. Luffy had just escaped the prison with over 200 prisoners and was heading to Marineford to rescue Ace who was due to be executed in less than 3 hours.

Both Dragon and Sabo were not going to take any chances so both men had infiltrated Marineford with over a hundred Revolutionaries a few hours before Ace had left Impel down.

The plan they had made before hand was to wait for a good time to strike than attack. They had though of intercepting Ace on the way to the holding cell but that had been canceled when Luffy had been reported to have broken into Impel Down.

One of if not the only person to ever do so. To try to get him out now would be too risky as well as having to retrieve Luffy from wherever he currently was. So the new plan was now in effect. As Dragon made his way down an alley he smirked when he saw Sengoku and his father Garp walking past.

He didn't worry about being detected because no one would ever think that Dragon would attempt to infiltrate Marineford during such a big event much less interfere in it. There was one fact about Ace that very few if any knew.

That fact was that Portgas D. Ace was his godson through his wife Monkey D. Dai and Ace's mother Portgas D. Rouge. Dragon planned to both rescue Ace and watch as the old era died and the new era was born. Already his men were spreading out through the base disguised as low ranked enlisted men.

That way there would be no uncomfortable questions asked before the show started. As time passed Dragon eventually made it onto a wall close to the execution platform that he could move quickly and reach Ace's side in a second if something went wrong. But far enough away that he could remain hidden until the time was right.

Dragon watched as Ace was brought onto the platform and chained down with a frown. He idly wondered where Sabo was as the boy had parted ways with him a while ago. He scowled when Sengoku announced to the world Ace's true heritage as the son of Gol D. Roger. And what his mother had done for him by keeping him in her womb for 20 months.

Dragon shook his head and quietly cursed Whitebeard for forcing his hand like this. Now the world knew who Ace really was and the boy would be even more hunted than he already had been before he was captured by Teach.

Dragon had met Teach once and had immediately been on his guard. There was something about the man that made him extremely nervous. Dragon didn't trust Teach at all. A noise caught his attention and when he looked he watched as the Whitebeard Armada appeared and the Moby Dick and her escorts surfaced in the bay.

Dragon smiled thinly. It was almost time to act. Thinking beforehand Dragon had his men secretly capture the three Den Den Mushi that were recording the event so that the Marines would not be able to cut the feed and leave the world ignorant of their actions after they cut off the feed to the world. Dragon intended for the world to see the marines for what they really were warts and all.

Sabo also watched the Moby Dick surface from his hiding place. He had watched Ace be brought onto the platform and chained down. His anger at the world government grew when Sengoku had revealed Ace's Heritage. He took a moment to calm himself down as doing something rash would endanger Ace's life and jeopardize the plan they had come up with.

Sabo was situated close to the platform near a couple of the other agents that had infiltrated the base. Both men had been carefully selected for their devil fruit ability and strength. Both men had one job and that was to deal with the admirals when the time came for them to attack.

One had the Spark Spark fruit and the other had the Snow snow fruit. While not as strong as Admiral Aokiji's ice ice fruit it was strong enough that it would give Admiral Akainu some difficulty. Then the battle began.

The revolutionaries did nothing but stay far enough out of the way during the fighting and watched as Oars Jr. tried to rescue Ace. Sabo stifled a smirk. It would be funny if it worked but it would not due to the Warlords and the Admirals being present.

Which begged the question of why Whitebeard. His train of thought was brought to halt by a noise from above. When he looked his eyes widened and his mouth dropped as he watched his little brother and several hundred prisoners from Impel down fall from the sky followed by the stolen battleship.

Dragon also watched his son arrive with a smirk he was a D. alright. Then Luffy had his confrontation with Whitebeard and loudly announced to the world that he not Whitebeard would be Pirate King. Sabo on the other hand was horrified that Luffy would challenge the worlds strongest man like that.

But then again he really should not have been surprised at his little brother's actions. Sabo doubted that Luffy even knew who Whitebeard really was or just how much danger he was in just then. Then Luffy jumped off the Moby Dick and joined the fight. Sabo watched as Luffy battled his way across the ice and was helped by the Whitebeard Pirates and his own force.

Both Sabo and Dragon frowned when Sengoku revealed Luffy's ancestry to the world. Both men knew that it was just a matter of time until the secret was out. Dragon smirked at the reactions from all sides even among his own men. When Sengoku ordered Ace's execution Dragon acted.

He quickly knocked both men out with two concentrated bursts of Conquerors Haki. The battle paused for a moment when the two executioners were knocked out. "Who did that!?" Sengoku roared.

Dragon smirked and retreated back into the shadows and continued watching. After a long moment the battle resumed. Sengoku was still looking around for who had knocked out the two marines. When it was clear that the two men were dead he ordered new executioners to the platform.

As the battle progressed and Luffy got closer and closer to the platform Sabo started planning for the next few minutes. He was so distracted that he didn't notice when Sengoku had the new executioners try to execute Ace again.

Dragon was about to act when Luffy shouted. A wave of force pulsed across the battlefield and marines, pirates, and a few revolutionaries that were unprepared for it dropped where they stood. The rest gazed in shock at the young rookie for using Conquerors Haki. Sabo was just as shocked as the rest of them. "Luffy you to?" Sabo whispered in shock.

Dragon on the other hand was not as surprised as the rest as Luffy was his son so he would have been able to use the rare Haki. Dragon then looked at Whitebeard and smirked at his reaction. He then looked at the platform. It was almost time.

When Luffy and Garp encountered each other Dragon stood up and walked into plain sight of the battlefield. Sabo was the only one to see him and then pulled out a whistle. Once Dragon nodded at him Sabo blew the whistle as hard as he could. This caught everyone's attention.

Sabo then looked at Sengoku. "All revolutionaries! Attack!" Sabo roared at the top of his lungs. The two agents assigned to deal with the Admirals dropped their disguises and charged at the three admirals.

The spark user launched electric bolts at the light and Ice Admirals and drew them into a fight. The Snow user knew he was outclassed by Akainu but that wasn't the point. His job was to distract and delay the magma admiral.

Sabo charged at Garp fully intent on making sure Luffy made it to the platform. "Luffy go rescue Ace I will deal with our grandfather." Sabo barked. Luffy and Garp just stared at him in confusion. "Sabo boy" Ivankov shouted as he raced up to join Luffy. Sabo nodded at Ivankov then turned to his little brother. "Sabo? " Luffy asked in confusion "I know your confused right now but Ace is the priority right now and we need to save him so I will explain later I promise. "

Garp glared at both of them. "I cant let that happen. I am a Marine and I will do my duty even if it pains me to do it. "Garp said with steely resolve.

Sabo just nodded. "I understand Grandpa I don't hold your choice against you so lets just get down to it and fight." Sabo replied Garp just gazed at him sadly for a moment then nodded.

Luffy looked at both of them with a confused look but then he snapped out of it and raced past toward the Platform leaving his grandfather and his brother who he thought was dead but not behind him.

Meanwhile all over battlefield revolutionary soldiers were dropping their disguises and attacking the marines at full force. Dragon used soru to leap from his hiding spot and land on the platform right behind his godson.

He straightened up and smirked at the growing look of horror on Sengoku's face when he recognized Dragon. "What's the matter Sengoku? Cat got your tongue?" Dragon asked with a smirk. "Its Dragon the Revolutionary!" A marine somewhere on the battlefield shrieked in horror.

One revolutionary soldier raced up to Marco the Phoenix. "I have a key for your shackle. If you promise not to attack me I will free you." the man asked when he came to a stop a few feet away. Marco not having any choice just held out his shackled wrist.

Once the cuff was off he thanked the man and rejoined the fight. The revolutionary watched him go with a smirk then turned in the direction that Whitebeard was standing. He had a message to deliver.

A moment of running later brought him up to the Yonko. I have a message from my leader Monkey D. Dragon. Whitebeard looked at him. "What is the message." he asked.

"The message is that Sengoku has planned for one of your men to betray you through false information once one of the admirals finds one of your ship captains or division leaders. We don't know which it is so be on guard. The second message is to watch out for the Pacifista's when they appear." he replied

Whitebeard nodded "thank you for letting me know." The soldier saluted then raced away back into the fight raging around them. Meanwhile one the platform Ace was gaping at Dragon in shock. "What are you doing here?" Sengoku asked in horror. Dragon smirked again. It was time to reveal his connections to Ace.

"What does it look like? I am rescuing my Godson Portgas D. Ace." that single statement caused most of the fighting to halt temporarily. "Your godson?" Sengoku asked in shock.

"Technically my wife's godson as Rouge asked her to be Ace's godmother. When she died the job fell to me to look after him and my son Luffy.

However since my job as leader of the revolutionaries prevented me from caring for them I entrusted Luffy to my father to raise. I don't know how Ace wound up living in the same place as Luffy did and that is a question I will have to ask my Father later if he survives this battle.

As for Sabo my middle child. I had no idea he existed until he told me who he was while he was unaware of whom I was. When I told him the truth I also adopted him into the family and he because the third son in my family." Dragon explained.

The Den Den Mushi had been watching his confrontation with Sengoku and transmitted the conversation around the world.

"In other words Sengoku you lost. You lost the moment you threatened my family and I don't take that lightly. So what's it going to be? Will you call off this foolishness and stop this stupid unnecessary war or will you continue to waste the lives of your men over an action that is by right illegal. If you had tried and attempted to execute my godson over his crimes and not his Blood I wouldn't be half as angry as I am right now."

Dragon explained while glaring at Sengoku while filling the air around them with his Haki. At that point Luffy joined them. Sengoku looked at the boy and then back at Dragon. He saw the resolve in Dragons eye and then made his decision.

"You obviously have reinforcements waiting out of sight so I will make the hard choice." Sengoku replied while lowering his head in defeat. This statement was heard all over the battlefield and the fighting started to die down.

"I will take the responsibility. All marines stand down!" Sengoku roared.

This statement brought most of the fighting to a halt and the remainder soon followed as orders were passed down from the higher ranked soldiers, pirates, and marines on the field. At that point Sabo joined them on the platform. He gently pushed Luffy on the shoulder.

"Luffy remember why we are here. You need to free Ace with that key you have on you." Sabo said with a proud smile. Luffy blinked for a moment. He had been looking at his father who he had never seen before and had completely forgotten what he was supposed to be doing until Sabo pushed him.

"Right sorry Sabo." Luffy replied shakily. He then hurried behind Ace and used the key to unlock the Shackles on Ace's wrists. Sengoku scowled at the sight of the key but did nothing as Ace was freed. Dragon was still watching him with a smirk and would no doubt protect the boys until they got away.

Once Ace was free Luffy pulled him and Sabo into a hug. Sabo chuckled and hugged his two brothers back. Ace was caught off guard then quietly joined the hug. Both younger brothers ignored the tears in Ace's eyes as they hugged. Ace was just so happy that he was truly loved after all.

After a moment the three broke apart and looked at Dragon who simply smiled at the three boys. "You three should get going. You still need to get away from here. Sabo as we agreed you can join up with your brothers or stay with us. It's your own choice so good luck. Dragon then turned back to Sengoku.

"Well Sengoku what will it be. Will you take the final step and end this war and permit everyone one to depart safely or shall we resume this battle?" Sengoku nodded "This war is over!" He shouted to the world.

And thus did the biggest war since the beginning of the pirate age end. Ace and his brothers headed in the direction of the escape ships with Dragon and some of the whitebeard commanders bringing up the rear.

The Snow fruit user was dead as Akainu had overwhelmed and killed him. Both Aokiji and Kizaru backed away from the Spark fruit user who was watching them carefully. Offshore three Revolutionary warships surfaced and headed toward the shore to pick up the retreating revolutionary soldiers.

Garp watched his son and grandchildren leave from where Sabo had punched him. Sabo had hit him so hard that Garp had made a hole in the wall where he had hit. Dragon did not look at him at all and ignored him completely. Neither did any of the boys who just faced toward where the evacuation ships were located.

Garp wasn't hurt by that act. They all had made their choices and there was no going back now. The Den Den Mushi followed their progress until they reached the escape ships. There they parted ways.

Sabo went with Ace and Luffy while Dragon headed toward the waiting revolutionary warships. The Marines just stayed out of the way and watched as the pirates and revolutionaries sailed away having retrieved Ace.

It was official. The marines had failed in their objective and both Whitebeard and Portgas D. Ace had successfully escaped.

Around the world people reacted to the events at Marineford in various ways. In some places there was dancing and cheering while in other places there was horror and sadness that the marines had been so successfully foiled by the surprise entrance of the revolutionary army led personally by Monkey D. Dragon.

In the final casualty report it was later discovered that Donquixote Doflamingo was dead having been killed by several pirates and revolutionary soldiers working together. Gekko Moria was also dead. No one knew who had killed him.

The Warlord Kuma had been put out of action somehow. Jinbe had escaped which left Hancock and Hawkeye Mihawk still present.

Blackbeard was missing. No one knew that he had betrayed both sides and had attacked impel down and was currently sneaking up to Marineford to stage a surprise appearance completely unaware that all of his plans had just crashed and burned due to the intervention of the Revolutionary Army led by Dragon.

When he made his appearance only then would he learn of his mistake and would therefore be facing off against Sengoku and the three Marine Admirals.
