four brother

The battle at Marineford raged on as the smoke of battle filled the skies. Thorfinn, his wings flickering with the remnants of flames, stood at the heart of the island, gazing into the horizon. Around him, the Marines seemed to hesitate, as though the very air had shifted. He had held his ground against Sengoku, Kizaru, and Aokiji, and yet, it was more than just strength that had come to the forefront—it was the legacy that coursed through his veins.

From behind, Ace and Luffy approached, eyes wide with awe at the spectacle. Their older brother had become something more than they could ever imagine. He wasn't just a warrior—he was a force of nature, a storm that could level anything in his path. But Thorfinn had not yet fully revealed the truth. Not just to the world, but to his brothers as well.

"Thorfinn!" Luffy shouted, his face lit with excitement, oblivious to the danger around them. "You're amazing! I've never seen anything like it!"

Ace's eyes were more measured, though pride shimmered in them. "That was… incredible," he muttered. His voice carried the weight of something unspoken—a connection between them that had always existed but was now more powerful than ever. "But what's going on, Thorfinn? Who are you really?"

Thorfinn's gaze remained forward, the question hanging in the air. Slowly, he turned, his eyes glowing with the intensity of his thoughts. His stance was solid, his hands resting on the hilts of his swords, Emma and Ame no Habakiri, which shimmered with an ethereal light.

"Brothers," he began, his voice steady, resonating with an unshakable confidence, "there's something I have to tell you. Something I've been hiding for far too long."

The tension in the air thickened as Thorfinn raised his swords, Emma glowing with the power of his Conqueror's Haki, and Ame no Habakiri radiating the aura of ancient lineage. The Marines surrounding them shifted uneasily, some ready to move, others paralyzed by the growing pressure in the air. But Thorfinn was focused solely on his brothers. His words were for them, and only them.

"I was born the son of a great man—Kouzuki Oden, the former ruler of Wano. He was a warrior of legendary skill, a man whose name shook the world. And now, his blood runs through my veins," Thorfinn's voice echoed like a thunderclap, shaking the very foundation of Marineford.

For a moment, the world seemed to stand still. The chaos of battle faded, and the weight of his words lingered in the air, drawing the attention of everyone around them. The Marines, even the Admirals, paused—unsure of what they had just heard. Kouzuki Oden—the name carried power, reverence, and fear, even in the wake of his death.

Ace's eyes widened. He had known Thorfinn as an older brother, but to hear him claim to be the son of Kouzuki Oden, the man whose very legacy had shaped the world—he couldn't process it immediately. His breath caught in his throat.

"What...?" Luffy's voice was quieter, a mix of confusion and awe.

But Thorfinn continued, his voice hardening, the determination in his eyes unwavering. "I've kept it from you both for too long, but now it's time for the world to know who I am. I carry his blood, and I carry his will. I will not let his legacy fade into history without fulfilling it."

A fire ignited within Thorfinn's chest, and he could feel his father's spirit flowing through him—the spirit of a man who had once dreamed of uniting the seas and the world itself. He had the power, the Conqueror's Haki, the skill of the sword, and the strength of his Lunarian heritage. It was all coming together now—he was no longer just Thorfinn, the older brother of Luffy and Ace. He was something more.

Then, in an instant, the atmosphere shifted. Thorfinn closed his eyes, and the air around him seemed to tremble. With a sharp, decisive motion, he drew both Emma and Ame no Habakiri, holding them together. His swords glowed with the fire of the Conqueror's Haki, a terrifying and majestic energy crackling like a storm as he raised them high above his head.

"Divine Departure!" he bellowed, his voice carrying across the battlefield with the weight of authority.

A pulse of Haki exploded from him, so powerful that the entire island seemed to tremble beneath its force. The ground cracked and splintered, the sea began to churn violently, and the Marines surrounding them were thrown back by the sheer force of the wave of energy.

The Admirals, those who had watched from a distance, were momentarily stunned by the overwhelming power. Sengoku, Kizaru, and Aokiji exchanged quick glances, realizing the true threat they were facing. Thorfinn's strength wasn't simply the product of his Lunarian abilities or his Haki—it was something deeper, something rooted in the very bloodline that flowed through his veins.

As the wave of force subsided, Thorfinn stood, unwavering, his wings of flame blazing behind him. Ace and Luffy looked at their older brother in stunned silence.

"Thorfinn..." Ace whispered, as if trying to grasp the enormity of what was happening.

Thorfinn's gaze softened as he turned toward his brothers. "I'm still your older brother, Ace. I'm still the one who'll protect you both."

Luffy grinned, his usual wide smile breaking through the moment. "You're the coolest big brother ever!"

Ace, though still processing everything, nodded, his pride for his older brother shining through. "You really are Oden's son, huh? Damn…"

But Thorfinn's resolve didn't waver. His eyes turned cold as he focused on the Marines, particularly the Admirals who had now set their sights on him with more intensity than ever before.

"Don't mistake my words," Thorfinn said, his voice low and dangerous. "I will not let the Marines or anyone take my family from me. This is my legacy, and I will see it fulfilled, no matter the cost."

The power of the Divine Departure was a declaration—not just of his heritage, but of his intentions. Thorfinn was a force to be reckoned with, and he was ready to show the world that the son of Kouzuki Oden would not be denied.
