"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT!!?"
A Marine shouted as one of their ships got demolished by a cannonball from afar.
The marine on the lookout post held up his binoculars and gasped, the binoculars clattering from his hands into the crow's nest with a dull thud.
"I-impossible... IT'S THE ROCKS PIRATES EAST OF THE ISLAND!!!" He yelled with despair evident in his cracking voice.
"B-but why?!"
The lookout spoke again: "It's not just them; there are more infamous pirates coming."
A commodore shouted with agitation, "Why didn't we hear about this earlier?! Cannons, fire!"
On the Ship of the Rocks Pirates, Rocks issued the command, and the captains under him, like Kaido, Charlotte Linlin, Captain John, Silver Axe, Whitebeard, Golden Lion Shiki, Stussy Buckingham, and Gloriosa, the current Kuja Empress of Amazon Lily, all charged onto the island in pursuit of the main prizes and to wreak as much havoc as possible.
As they made landfall, the Roger Pirates arrived too, rushing at top speeds to impede the Rocks Pirates.
A Celestial Dragon shouted at a quivering marine officer, "What the hell are the Marines doing?! I swear if they lay a single finger on me, I'll—"
Similar discussions, arguments, and overall chaos were happening all over the God Valley as ships from all across the globe converged here.
Figarland readied his sword as he commanded a nearby marine officer, "Have the sailors pull back and guard the Celestial Dragons; the Holy Knights will handle this."
The marine scurried off as another one of the Holy Knights muttered with disdain evident in his voice, "Pathetic. What was the point of the blockade?"
Suddenly, a crash was heard as Alex and his group arrived from a treeline just off the coast, clearly from a ship. Their arrival reinvigorated the marines and lifted their spirits. Imagine legendary figures like Vice Admiral Garp, Vice Admiral Sengoku, Vice Admiral Zephyr, Rear Admiral Tsuru, and Admiral Alex, the Dark Knight of Justice.
"Do you mind if we crash the party, Holy Knight-san?" Alex asked as he rubbed his hands together, cracking his knuckles after that, ready to do battle.
"Bwahahaha! Why ask this lame-ass dude, leader? Let's just bash some skulls already!"
Garp boomed as he let his conqueror's Haki out in a blast of fury.
"Because dumbass!" Sengoku bonked him on the head before Z continued for him, "Unfortunately, they have authority over us currently."
"Yeah, Baka-Garp!" Tsuru chimed in as her armament Haki pulsed with restrained power, her hands turning sleek black for a moment.
They met at the center of the island. For a moment, only silence—eye contact thick with tension. Then everyone roared. Haki waves erupted from every corner, spreading through God Valley like an unstoppable tide, residue shockwaves hitting other islands many kilometers away from this island, shaking islands and causing crazy waves, and God Valley was the epicenter of this mayhem.
Alex faced off against Rocks, John, Whitebeard, and Kaido. Figarland by his side served to calm Alex a bit. All around, grins stretched wide at the scent of impending bloodshed.
Tsuru and Z clashed with Big Mom, Shiki, and Gloriosa with 3 other Holy Knights on their side, while Garp and Sengoku took on the Roger Pirates with the remaining six Holy Knights.
One thing was clear even before this clash: this was history unfolding right before their eyes, and Alex had to win this for sure.
Failure was not an option, because if they did fail, Pirate Emperor Xebec could upset the balance, shaky as it is, and plunge the world into chaos of untold proportions.
Of course Alex had his own few goals for going here, like possibly 'accidentally' letting a few celestial bastards die, because the stuff he had read about in his past life and the shit he experienced; being an admiral made sure he fucking hated their guts.
The ground fractured.
Trees uprooted with the impacts of Haki waves.
Then the bystanders not fighting saw them, Alex and Figarland locked in a clash with Xebec, John, Whitebeard, and Kaido. Alex fought Whitebeard and Xebec while Figarland took on the other two.
Both sides displayed amazing fighting prowess; just that Alex didn't even draw his sword yet, but Xebec and Whitebeard were going all out, Fruit and Haki going into overdrive.
The two leapt back as they nodded at each other and shouted together as they used conqueror's coating and internal destruction Haki along with Whitebeard's Quake Quake Power and Xebec's miasmic Dark Dark Powers, "Hakai!!!"
Alex had but a moment to react as he drew two swords and unsheathed them with enough force to make a flying slash that allowed him enough time to use his Haki to barely block this devastating attack.
"Goddamn, you two are fucking strong. This will be fun!" Alex said as he let his Aura loose, the battlefield falling silent briefly, acknowledging his power before the fighting and shouting resumed.
"Heh, what did you think, marine brat?" Xebec chortled as he let the darkness seep out more and more, while Whitebeard enveloped his Murakumogiri in a quake bubble, the tremor energy immense but contained.
Alex roared, "Bring it on, old-timers!" Then he flashed behind the Pirates, launching a huge sword-pressure wave from his two swords. The Pirates dodged, leaving the Celestial Dragons behind to be vaporized by Alex. "Oopsies."
