Chapter 119: The Summit War Begins
Marine Headquarters, Marineford!
The air was about to freeze, and everyone's face was written with tension.
From the ordinary Marine soldiers to the three Marine Admirals, and Fleet Admiral Sengoku!
Everyone looked as if facing a great enemy!
The reason was simple: the public execution of Portgas D. Ace was about to begin!
As the bloodline of the Pirate King, Sengoku and the Five Elders decided to broadcast this execution to the whole world.
The purpose was to promote the power of the Marines and the World Government.
Even the most vicious bloodline was being扼杀了, and the Great Pirate Era was about to end!
This was the important significance of this public execution.
However, besides being the son of the Pirate King, Portgas D. Ace was also the Second Division Commander of the strongest Yonko crew, the Whitebeard Pirates!
With Whitebeard's personality, he would definitely not stand by and watch!
Therefore, this public execution was very likely to evolve into an all-out war between Whitebeard and the Marines!
For this, the Marines had summoned the three Admirals and drawn 100,000 elite soldiers from all over the world!
They had also summoned the Shichibukai!
It could be said that the Marines had used almost all the power they could use!
However, before this public execution began, Sengoku still had a very important matter on his mind that he couldn't let go of!
That was Rono!
This guy had reappeared in the world. With his relationship with Whitebeard, there was a great possibility that he would participate in this public execution.
"How is Rono doing? Where is he now?"
Sengoku dialed a Den Den Mushi and asked the Five Elders.
Because the Five Elders had told Sengoku that they would send CP to keep an eye on Rono.
"Rest assured, CP has been keeping an eye on [The Most Heinous Criminal]."
"3 days ago, he led the Dark King Rayleigh and Shakky away from the Sabaody Archipelago to Jaya Island in the first half of the Grand Line."
"Then he was carried into the sky by an upwelling sea current. CP has now lost the target, and we have no exact news of him!"
"Although we don't know his purpose, it is certain that [The Most Heinous Criminal] will not be able to participate in this public execution."
"After all, it takes at least two days to get from Jaya Island to Marineford at full speed!"
"So this public execution will proceed as usual."
The words of the Five Elders gave Sengoku a reassurance!
That's good!
As long as Rono didn't interfere, Sengoku had full confidence in leading the Marines to win this war!
Not only to kill Ace but also to kill the [World's Strongest Man] Whitebeard!
To put an end to this Great Pirate Era!
"Report to Fleet Admiral Sengoku, the death row inmate Portgas D. Ace has been escorted to Marineford by Vice Admiral Momonga!"
"Vice Admiral Momonga asked me to inform you."
Soon a messenger reported to Sengoku.
"Good, pass my order, all personnel gather in the bay square."
Since the protagonist of this public execution, Portgas D. Ace, had arrived, there was no need to wait.
All personnel gather in the bay square of Marineford!
Soon, Portgas D. Ace, wearing Seastone handcuffs, was escorted to the execution platform!
The strongest lineup of the Marines also arrived!
The suffocating feeling in Marineford reached its peak!
Fleet Admiral Sengoku sat high on the execution platform.
[Marine Hero] Garp sat beside the death row inmate Ace!
Below the execution platform were the three highest combat powers of the World Government—the Marine Admirals!
Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji, with imposing auras!
Further down were the Shichibukai, a total of five!
[World's Greatest Swordsman] Dracule Mihawk!
[Pirate Empress] Boa Hancock!
[Heavenly Yaksha] Donquixote Doflamingo!
[Tyrant] Bartholomew Kuma!
[Gekko] Moria!
Each was a great pirate at the level of a regional lord!
Below the Shichibukai were the sixteen Elite Vice Admirals of Marine Headquarters!
Their leader was the highly prestigious Marine Great Staff Officer Tsuru, from the same era as Garp and Sengoku!
Further forward were ten Giant Vice Admirals, a hundred meters tall, with full momentum!
At the bottom of the bay square.
Were the 100,00_ elite soldiers drawn by the Marines from naval bases around the world. Each was a brave warrior who could fight ten men!
Not only that, outside the bay, fifty warships were on standby!
The strongest lineup of the Marines was in position!
"Garp, I'm going to say that thing. Is that okay?"
Sengoku looked at Garp on the side and asked with some concern.
Whether it was the other party's identity as a Marine Hero or the friendship of fighting side by side for decades.
He had to pay attention to Garp's thoughts at all times!
"Do as you please. I'm going down."
Garp turned his face to the side and left the execution platform.
"Turn on the broadcast Den Den Mushi."
Seeing this, Sengoku gave an order, and soon the live broadcast to the whole world began!
Since the World Government had long announced the public execution of Portgas D. Ace.
So people all over the world were waiting early!
At this moment, Sabaody Archipelago.
Wano Country, Onigashima!
Whole Cake Island!
Hachinosu, Pirate Island, and so on!
The whole world received the live broadcast image at the same time.
"What's with this intense suffocating feeling!"
"What a reassuring lineup! The Marines are the masters of this sea!"
"That's right, let's end it quickly, this public execution!"
People all over the world felt full of security seeing the strongest formation of the Marines!
With such a powerful lineup, even the strongest pirate crew in the world today, the Whitebeard Pirates, would surely be buried here if they came!
Not only the people of the world.
At this moment, the Four Emperors of the New World, the kings of the underworld, and the long-famous great pirates were all paying close attention to this public execution!
"Now I want to announce to everyone the important significance of the public execution of Portgas D. Ace here at Marine Headquarters."
Soon Sengoku exposed Ace's background!
This guy was the bloodline of the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger!
"The bloodline of the Pirate King?"
"That most vicious bloodline still exists?"
"Damn it!"
People all over the world suddenly understood at this moment, and the reason for executing Ace here became clear!
"So that's how it is!"
"He's the son of the Pirate King!"
"Then it's even more necessary to kill him!"
The aura of the Marines present also reached its highest point!
Woo-woo~ Woo-woo~ Woo-woo~ Woo-woo~
At the same time, the alarm in the bay square sounded!
On the distant sea horizon, dozens of pirate crews appeared!
"Appeared! Whitebeard Pirates!"
"The 43 famous captains under their banner in the New World!"
"They are going to attack!"
In the first moment, the Marine lookouts discovered the enemy and reported it to the high-ranking Marines!
"Where's the Moby Dick?"
Vice Admiral Tsuru found something was wrong.
So many ships, but the Moby Dick, which Whitebeard himself was on, was nowhere to be found!
The next moment.
Gurgle~ Gurgle~ Gurgle~
In the bay square of Marineford, bubbles kept floating up.
As if a huge sea beast was lurking at the bottom of the sea!
Splash!
A shadow broke through the sea, impressively Whitebeard's own ship—the Moby Dick!
"Gurararara! My dear son, are you alright!"
The moment he appeared, Whitebeard cast his gaze on Portgas D. Ace on the execution platform!
"Pops!"
"And everyone!"
Discovering Whitebeard's figure, as well as Marco, Jozu, Vista, Izo, and other partners behind him!
Ace was also filled with grief and anger. If not for being handcuffed, he would probably be prostrated on the ground at this moment!
For his sake, why go to such lengths?
If things go wrong, the Whitebeard Pirates might all be buried here
