Early the next morning, the Marines were already on high alert.
This operation had gathered a total of 100,000 Marine soldiers, all elites from the Marine.
Marineford port was almost overflowing, packed tightly with Marines.
"Is this kind of formation really just to deal with one pirate crew?"
Uchiha Fugaku looked at the endless line of Marines, finding it hard to believe that so many people were just to deal with one pirate crew.
He had also experienced the Third Ninja World War and led the Uchiha Clan to the front lines.
However, he was still shocked by the sheer number of people, as the Ninja World didn't have such a large Ninja population.
"That man possesses the ability to easily destroy this island, and once quality reaches a certain level, this ordinary quantity is useless."
Uchiha Tamahiko's heart was very calm at this moment.
Every system mission must not fail; this was the only way to continue.
He, like Whitebeard, was unavoidable.
"Proceed according to the plan. The first priority is to ensure your own safety."
Uchiha Tamahiko continued.
He had communicated with the Marine, arranging for Fugaku, Shisui, and others to blend in on the wall near him, using firearms to help attack the pirates.
Not approaching the core battlefield, such a request was naturally not refused by the Marine.
"Yes!"
Fugaku and the others replied.
Then, the group split up and left in different directions.
The group all wore similarly colored clothing, but Uchiha Tamahiko had a cape, while Fugaku and the others did not.
Deep blue, the appearance was similar to the Konoha Chunin uniform, but this was an added layer; the inner fabric could resist ordinary bullets, reduce impact, prevent cuts, and also provide warmth, insulation, and waterproofing.
Uchiha Tamahiko had an additional white cape behind him, very similar to the Hokage's cape, with flame patterns at the bottom. However, the center of the back was not emblazoned with the symbol of a Hokage generation, but rather the Uchiha Clan crest.
Transforming in front of so many people was something Uchiha Tamahiko couldn't quite do, so he had transformed in his room beforehand and then walked out.
"They say it's the second layer, but it's actually just by the shore. There are only a few cannons in front!"
"The execution is about to begin in thirty minutes. Let's fish in troubled waters and wait for Blackbeard to appear."
Uchiha Tamahiko was led to his designated area. Each Shichibukai was spaced about twenty to thirty meters apart, standing in a line.
Seeing his position, Uchiha Tamahiko was somewhat speechless, but not surprised. How could the Marine possibly trust these Shichibukai and reveal their arrangements beforehand?
No wonder they said at the end that there might be changes!
By this time, the live broadcast had already begun, and Ace was escorted from his prison cell, walking towards the execution platform.
After a while, Ace appeared, his hands bound by Sea Stone handcuffs, forced to kneel on the execution platform.
Sengoku and Garp appeared behind him, then separated, with Sengoku stepping onto the execution platform.
"There's something I need to convey to everyone first, regarding Portgas D. Ace, and the great significance of this man dying here today!"
"Ace, state your father's name."
Sengoku began speaking through a Den Den Mushi megaphone as he came up.
The Marines below looked at the execution platform with some confusion, unsure what was happening.
"My father is Whitebeard!!!"
Ace replied very loudly.
But Sengoku directly denied Ace's answer.
"At that time, we... the most evil-blooded infant in the world, that was you!"
"Your father is, Pirate King Gol D. Roger!"
After Sengoku finished speaking, the scene instantly fell silent.
Including everyone else watching the live broadcast on screens in other locations, faces showed expressions of shock.
The Shichibukai and others also turned their heads in surprise, looking at Ace on the execution platform.
Only Uchiha Tamahiko narrowed his eyes, looking at the distant gap.
Although he was very interested in saving Ace, he had people he absolutely had to protect.
Sengoku continued to recount how Ace was found. The reporters watching the live broadcast were frantically jotting notes in their notebooks, ready to write news immediately and capture the first wave of hype.
"They've appeared!!!"
Soon after, a Marine soldier responsible for observation with binoculars spotted a large number of pirate ships and shouted directly.
"All hands, battle stations!"
The Vice Admiral in charge of commanding at the port immediately gave the order.
All cannons turned, aiming at the harbor's center, which resembled a lake.
"Just how strong is that strongest man!"
Uchiha Itachi stood on the wall, looking at the Marines below standing ready. He truly found it hard to imagine what kind of existence it would be.
Shisui and the others also kept their eyes on the pirate ships.
They were also very curious about what kind of person it would be.
After all, in this world, not many people have seen Whitebeard and lived to tell the tale!
"It's in the sea!"
Shisui was the first to notice something was wrong with the seawater.
The rest of the Uchiha Clan also discovered the situation.
Only Rob Lucci, Kaku, and others didn't see anything unusual.
The coated Moby Dick surfaced from the sea. This unexpected entrance shocked everyone.
"Gurahahahaha!"
"It's been decades, hasn't it, Sengoku!"
Whitebeard slowly walked to the bow of the ship, during which no one spoke.
Shisui and the others focused their gaze on this elderly man, wanting to see an expression of fear through their Sharingan.
But there was none, only a wild, arrogant smile.
Sengoku looked at this enemy with a solemn expression, but as the supreme commander of the Marine, he would not retreat!
"My dear son, are you alright!"
Whitebeard continued.
He looked completely at ease, as if the hundred thousand strong army before him were merely a swarm of ants.
Not a single Marine below spoke; all of them looked at this man with nervous expressions.
"So strong!"
"This aura, I've never seen it on anyone else."
"Perhaps only the legendary God of Shinobi, the First Hokage, possessed such a spirit!"
Fugaku said very seriously.
When he first heard about participating in the war, he didn't take it too seriously, as he had also experienced battlefield carnage.
But now, seeing this man, he was glad that everyone's mission was to deal with other enemies, not to strike at this man!
"Complete the mission, help the Clan leader, and don't interfere with anything else!"
Shisui added.
The surrounding Marine soldiers had already been controlled by the Uchiha Clan with genjutsu, to avoid problems and reduce trouble.
That's why everyone huddled together to talk, and everyone's attention was on Whitebeard, so they didn't notice them.
"Gurahahahaha."
"Wait for me, Ace!"
Whitebeard looked at Ace, smiling with great affection.
It was like treating his own mischievous child.
"Pops!!!"
Ace's lips trembled, then he shouted without reservation.
Like a child admitting his mistake.
Whitebeard plunged his Murakumogiri into the bow of the ship, then clenched his fists and crossed them, gathering power.
Then he slammed them violently to both sides.
The atmosphere was directly cracked!
Explosions occurred on the sea surface around Marineford, and the seawater surged.
The rising sea level directly surpassed the height of the Marineford wall by two or three times.
"Is this the power of the world's strongest!"
The Uchiha group was shocked by this change.
Although they had expected him to be strong when they saw him, they never thought it would be this outrageous.
"The strongest!"
And Uchiha Tamahiko, looking at Whitebeard, felt a surge of excitement.
The Marineford War started a bit slow, but it got better later. Not writing it felt like there was no atmosphere.
