A/N: At this time I forgot about Igaram, so where he is currently? The answer is, he followed them inside the ship and though he didn't contribute in the dialogue, he still inside the strawhat ship. It is my weakness that I forgotting to include someone non important but still important for Vivi.
...........
"Someone is fighting on that island," said Jack when their ship finally reached the snowy shore.
Dragon eyes narrowed, Conqueror Haki that just been released feel familiar for him and his eyes become widen upon noticing who was the user of that conqueror haki.
"…Dad," Dragon muttered under his breath.
Jack overheard it. The moment Dragon uttered that word, everything clicked in Jack mind.
Only one man could release that kind of overwhelming Haki and be called Father by the leader of the Revolutionary Army.
Moments earlier, when they were nearing the coastline, a massive surge of Conqueror's Haki had blasted out from the inner mountains of Drum Island. It was strong enough to make the Going Merry creak and several of the weaker crew stumble.
"Who was that?" asked Dorry, his face now serious.
"Such overwhelming Conqueror's Haki… stronger than anything I've felt in centuries," added Broggy with a deep frown.
"Woooaaahh! Someone super strong is here!" Luffy said with excitement bursting in his eyes.
Jack glanced around. Even Zoro had a smirk growing on his lips, fingers brushing the hilt of his blade as if itching for a battle. Sanji just smiled and he also itching for fighting and Bartolomeo was shaking in pure fanboy excitement. Even Kuma stiffened slightly, recognizing that frightening presence.
Dragon, on the other hand, looked conflicted, shoc and worry blending on him. Did his father finally wanna make a move because of the recent fighting?
Jack raised a hand quickly. "Luffy, you guys cannot fight them. Not now. You need to escort Nami to a doctor.... immediately. Her sickness could flare up, and something terrible might happen if we delay."
His words instantly deflated the battle excitement.
"Yeah… we still have to save Nami," Luffy said, suddenly serious.
"Nami-swaaannn! I will protect you with my life!" Sanji declared dramatically.
"Nami-senpai, rest assured! Bartolomeo the shield will guard you!" added Bartolomeo.
Zoro didn't say anything, but he nodded firmly. Nojiko placed a gentle hand on Nami's forehead, clearly worried. Bonney clenched her fists, eyes red from earlier tears.
Vivi stepped closer, holding Nami hand. "We will get you cured. I promise."
Jack exhaled. "I won't join you this time. I think you four need to escort her, and if possible, bring the doctor back to us."
"What?! You're not coming?" Luffy asked, confused.
"Luffy, I'm busy. I need to finish building something important, I need to build a robot and besides…" Jack grinned and tapped Luffy's shoulder, "You are strong enough."
The word robot came out and Luffy eyes turned into shining stars.
"ROBOT?! YOU'RE MAKING A ROBOT AGAIN?!"
"As expected from Jack-senpai! Kyaaaa!" Bartolomeo squealed.
"Anooo… I'll stay here too," Usopp suddenly whispered, sweat dripping down his face.
"USSSOOOOPPPPPPPP!!!" Luffy roared making Usopp become scared.
He froze like a stone.
Luffy put both hands on Usopp shoulders, leaning in with intensity.
"Usopp… Nami is sick. Let's go and save her."
"O-okay…" Usopp replied with a tremble.
Just when they were preparing to disembark, Jack raised his wrist.
"Before you go…"
He tapped the watch.
CLANK–CHHHHHHH–WHIRRRR!
A massive section of the Merry's deck opened, mechanical panels unfolding in smooth, precise layers. From inside, something enormous rose, gleaming under the winter sunlight.
A sleek aircraft—sleek metal, humming engines, sharp wings—floated upward and hovered above the ship.
The older Strawhats' jaws dropped.
"WOOOOOAAAAHHHHH! IT'S FLYING!!" Usopp screamed.
"Nani kore (what is that)…?" whispered Nojiko.
"TH-TH-THIS IS… THIS IS FLYING SHIPP?!" Bartolomeo screamed, nearly fainting.
Luffy's body shook. "IT'S A SUPER COOL FLYING THING!!! JACK!! YOU'RE THE BEST!!"
Bonney blinked. "What kind of monster machine is that…?"
Even stern Kuma raised his eyebrows in visible surprise.
Sanji flicked away his cigarette. "Damn… that's not a flying ship, that's a whole new era."
Robin laughed softly. "What an interesting technology… you never fail to surprise me, Jack."
Zoro stared at it for a moment, then shrugged. "Huh. Looks fast."
Vivi eyes sparkled. "Incredible…"
Dorry and Broggy gawked like children seeing the world largest toy.
And then came the Revolutionary Trio....
Sabo's jaw practically hit the snow. "What… what kind of ship is that…?"
Koala looked at Dragon "Dragon-san… is this… Jack really is amazing person?"
"Introducing Quinnjet, this is not a ship but a jet that capable of flying so fast and can reach from east to west just under 3 hours," introduced Jack.
Quinnjet is not just a hypersonic jet, it is a jet that capable of travelling on outerspace. In a movie, Hulk escaped from earth using Quinnjet but Jack had removed that features and he replaced it with fire power and even he created a Nuform, new energy resources that 20 times more capable than Arc Reactor in generating electricity.
Currenly he only let 3 people had access, the first one is Dragon, Koala and Sabo. This is the gift that he had prepared for Revolutionary Army before and now is the time to show them.
"Ok, Dragon like I said before I will build you new transportation for you guys and this is the Jet and it capable of crossing the oceans and even flying 10,000km on the sky and from redline to another redline just in 3 hours," said Jack
Dragon inhaled slowly, unable to hide the tremble in his voice.
"Is this for us? A machine capable of crossing oceans… even reaching the sky… Jack… you…"
Jack smiled casually. "This is a Quinjet. And it's my gift to the Revolutionary Army. With this, your mobility will surpass the Marines and Im not kidding it has many weapon and also can turn stealth so no enemy would see you."
Dragon closed his eyes, overwhelmed.
"…Thank you."
Koala wiped tears. "We… we've never had something like this…"
Sabo grinned fiercely. "With this thing, we can help so many people! It's perfect!"
The Strawhat Pirates looked at Dragon's reaction, realizing how important this was. Even Kuma nodded gently.
"Jack, can you make Going merry supercool like Quinjet?" asked Luffy.
"Can, but now let's save nami," replied Jack.
Luffy punched the air. "Alright! Nami! Let's go find your doctor and come back fast! Then we can see Jack robot!"
Nami still too sick and can't move and even answered Luffy question.
And with that, the team prepared to head toward Drum Castle, first group is Luffy, Nami, Nojiko, Vivi, Igaram, Sanji and Koala went straight towards Drum Castle using Quinjet after they left Jack grouped up with the rest to meet Garp.
Jarvis had told him about the Marines wanted to redeem Akainu and they are even willing to pay 10 billion beli to save him.
***
"Hahahahaha! Brat, you're fifty years too early to defeat me!" Garp bellowed feeling happy after beating Ace. His frustration seeing Ace become pirates and even choosing whitebeard as his adopted father making him beat Ace until his frustration go away, his booming laughter shaking the air.
He casually brushed the dust off his knuckles as if he hadn't just sent Ace crashing into the ground with a multiple punch.
A young Marine sprinted over and saluted sharply, completely unaware of the bond between the two. "Vice Admiral Garp! Should we detain Fire Fist Ace and transport him to the prison block?"
The Marine was none other than Koby, eventhough many thing happen but Koby still become a special student under Garp, accompanied by a nervous Helmeppo. Neither of them had the slightest idea what kind of family drama they had just walked into.
Garp froze, his expression turning stiff. He glanced at Ace, who lay groaning and limp on the ground after receiving his "grandfatherly love." Then he looked at the clueless Marine who had just suggested locking Ace up like any ordinary pirates.
"No need for that… let's just move on," Garp muttered, sweating on his forehead
How could he throw his own grandson into prison? Ace would be at risk of execution, and Garp was not about to let something like that happen under his watch. He even dared to reject admiral promotion so many times in the past.
"Ehhhhhh!?" The Marines around them gaped in shock at the Vice Admiral Garp sudden leniency. Only Bogard, Garp loyal right hand, remained unfazed. He merely sighed, understanding perfectly well the complicated relationship between Garp, Luffy and Ace.
Before anyone could process anything else, a blur flashed forward, tearing through the air like a golden streak and slamming straight toward Garp.
Garp sensed it earlier when the blur moved towards him and it just take a mere second before the figure manage to hit him. His body tightened and Bogard drew his blade when his observation haki also flared up, both ready for combat and that figure punch was replied with Garp punch too, the impact of two fist against each other are explosion.
When the dust cleared, Jack stood there with a wide grin, unlifting his face mask to reveal his smirking face.
"Yo, old man. I've been wanting to meet you properly," Jack said, eyes gleaming with excitement.
Garp was taken a back then his grin matched his. "Hahahahaha! Most people run for their lives when they see me, and you come charging in head-on!"
He channelled his overwhelming Conqueror Haki, making the ground tremble, then pulled back his fist for one of his signature attacks.
"GALAXY DIVIDER!"
Black lightning danced across Garp's arm as his fist crashed forward like a meteor.
Jack reacted instantly. Golden energy shimmered as he invoked Thena power, conjuring a radiant shield in front of him.
BOOOOOOM!!!
The impact tore through the surrounding terrain, sending shockwaves in every direction. Debris flew, dust exploded upward, but when everything settled, Jack's golden shield didn't crack at all and it still standing still.
Garp narrowed his eyes. "So the information were true… you really didn't use Haki at all."
He unleashed a burst of pure Conqueror Haki to test Jack will. But Jack simply grinned, unfazed, his hair whipping in the invisible storm.
"You… don't have Haki?" Garp asked, genuinely startled.
Bogard's eyes widened too.
Jack F. Corrie, worth 5 billion beri, capable of clashing with legends and he had no Haki? The idea was absurd but it is true that he had no haki at all.
Before anyone could question it further, a shadow fell over them.
BOOM!
A figure descended from the sky, landing with such force that the ground cracked beneath him. The dust parted to reveal Dragon in a full combat suit, his mask dissolving as he lifted it away.
"Dad… you're absolutely disgusting," Dragon said coldly.
Gasps erupted.
Koby and Helmeppo froze. Even the other Marines stumbled back in shock, unable to believe they were seeing Monkey D. Dragon, the world's worst criminal standing before Garp.
More figures arrived behind him one by one, Revolutionaries regrouping quickly.
"Dragon…" Garp muttered, his earlier confidence fading. He remembered their last conversation, the one that ended with Dragon bitter disappointment.
"I can't, Dragon. The Marines need me," Garp had said back then.
Now Dragon voice hardened. "You disgust me, Dad. Do you really think swinging swords and punching pirates around is going to change the world? Keep dreaming. What we need is a real revolution. Please… join me."
Garp clenched his fist. "There are many people who want to be true Marines, real protectors of justice. I can't abandon them to corruption."
Before Garp could day dreaming further, Jack interrupted with a lazy voice. "Are you sleeping?"
"I AM NOT SLEEPING!" Garp roared, jolting upright. "I just remembered something, that's all!"
Jack snorted. "So? Are you here to capture Luffy and me?"
Garp blinked. Once. Twice. Then remembered his actual mission.
"We're here for Akainu and the others you captured," Garp declared firmly.
"Impossible," Jack answered flatly.
"You'd better hand them over, or we'll fight you," Garp warned.
Jack cracked his knuckles. "Come on, old man. Does it look like I'm scared of you?"
Before the tension could erupt again, Sabo eyes suddenly widened, he had finally noticed Ace lying injured on the ground not far from Garp
"Gramps! Why is Ace beaten up like this!?" Sabo shouted, rushing over, pipe in hand and anger flaring.
"H—Huh? You are…?" Garp stared, confused until realization hit him like a punch.
Another grandson. The one he believed had died, standing right in front of him.
