After the last battle, Blackbeard's reputation at sea increased enormously.
Shortly after, the Marines announced a live broadcast of the execution of the Whitebeard Pirates' second division captain, Ace.
Blackbeard's question was put aside.
Sengoku believes that if he defeats Whitebeard, the Marines will be able to gain great prestige and influence in one fell swoop, and all of their problems will be solved.
After all, in most people's opinion, Blackbeard is not as strong as Whitebeard, so Blackbeard certainly won't be such a problem. For this reason, Sengoku even hid information about Saint Charlos from Mary Geoise.
Sengoku was in complete despair. If this battle failed, all he could do was take the blame and resign.
He concentrated almost all of his forces, even sending the Pacifista PX-0, whose safety and reliability could not be fully confirmed, to the battlefield. The Shichibukai arrived at Marineford 3 days before the war began.
So, the long-awaited day has finally arrived.
All media outlets, including newspapers and various mobile apps, sent a large number of reporters to broadcast the war live.
Almost everyone claimed that Whitebeard would definitely join the battle because Whitebeard had begun to gather all his forces a month ago, thereby weakening the position in the New World. Therefore, Kaido, who had a strong desire to gain this area of influence, took a large area.
If it weren't for the preparations for this war, Whitebeard would never have given up the hard-won territory.
...
Marineford, Marine Headquarters.
Garp silently raised his head and looked at the towering building with the huge "Marine" sign on it. Like a giant standing on top, the towering figure had been there for 800 years.
Over the past 800 years, there have been countless winds and rains here, but after joining the Marines, this building has been affected by several powerful pirates, including the Golden Lion, but it still stands proudly.
It is a symbol of world Justice and the basis of stability in the sea.
He vaguely remembered that when he first came to the Watch headquarters, he was shocked to the depths of his soul when he saw this majestic building.
For some reason, he thought of Erum in Alabasta.
At the time of the Battle of Eruma, the new Royal Navy headquarters was not yet completed, but it looks just as perfect now.
- Oooooh!!!
Garp couldn't figure it out for a long time. He was shocked by the power of the Sea King Leviathan and was shocked to hear such sounds.
But when he realized that it was a Marine signal, he breathed a sigh of relief. There was no reason for Alabasta to go to war in this matter.
After all, even though the criminal they executed wasn't the criminal wanted by Alabasta, Ace ultimately had nothing to do with Alabasta. It might even have been to their King's advantage to have the Marines and Whitebeard beat each other to death. What reason would he have to come into these murky waters?
At the sound of the bugle, countless marines filed out.
The huge execution scaffold had already been set up, Garp's heart slightly trembled, and he saw from afar how his grandson Ace was being led out to be executed. Garp silently lowered his head, a little ashamed, a little angry, a kind of helplessness before the fickleness of fate.
Three huge chairs were set up in front of the execution platform, and three Admirals were ordered to guard anyone who tried to cross the line.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku stood next to Ace with a serious face.
The soldiers were waiting for their orders, and the Shichibukai were also ready to enter the war.
In order to prevent the Alabasta Sea King from interfering, the execution platform was set up directly in front of the headquarters. There is only a relatively narrow shallow bay here. Only normal Sea Kings can swim through here. Leviathan cannot swim in.
In addition, hundreds of huge artillery pieces were positioned on the shore, waiting for ships to appear in the distance so they could be attacked head-on.
After the live broadcast began, Sengoku announced some amazing news that shook the entire world:
- Portgas D Ace is the son of pirate king Gold Roger!
Like a clap of thunder over a calm sea, everyone was shocked in an instant.
Even the marines turned their heads, looking at the execution platform in shock.
Roger's son!!!
Ace gritted his teeth, his whole body trembled, he said loudly:
- My only father is Whitebeard!
At that moment, on one boat, seeing Ace's reaction, Roger threw away his favorite meat.
Rayleigh patted him on the shoulder:
- Be strong.
Not much time passed. Sengoku suddenly opened his closed eyes, and at that very moment, a huge ship emerged from under the surface of the water!
Moby Dick!
Sengoku didn't expect the enemy to emerge straight from the bottom of the sea.
This means that hundreds of coastal artillery units can be considered useless, they will not be able to inflict the slightest damage on the enemy.
The Marines were waiting in full combat readiness, and there was no panic among them. The Three Admirals, the Shichibukai, and hundreds of thousands of Marine elites were ready to fight. Under the circumstances, if they had feared the arrival of the Four Emperors, the Marines might have simply surrendered to the pirates outright.
While waiting for the ship to rise fully to the surface, a portly man stood on the deck, completely exposed to everyone's view.
A huge body over 6 meters long, iconic ivory mustache, a black scarf covering his head, a hand clutching an extremely sharp blade, fists that seemed capable of tearing apart the entire world, and an extremely deep, glittering gaze. He stared at Ace, who was tied up, for a while.
"Ace," he cried, "you stupid son!"
Whitbeard is here!
The audience was in confusion for a moment. Although countless people were expecting his arrival, including Sengoku, they were not 100% sure that this man would show up. Such audacity to attack the Marine headquarters was simply staggering.
Ace seemed shocked by Whitebeard's appearance. Although he believed that his father would come to save him, when he actually saw this scene, he still couldn't get rid of the uncontrollable sadness and guilt in his heart.
- Father! you are here?
Sengoku was extremely calm.
Twenty years after Roger's death, he seemed to be waiting for this day.
As an Admiral of the Marines, his greatest achievement in life is probably this moment.
Killing the Whitebeard pirate is his only thought at the moment.
To hell with Alabasta!
To hell with Teach!
Here is Whitebeard!!!
