----------
Only three hours until the execution! At the execution platform, the three Admirals, the Giant Race unit, 100,000 officers, and the Warlords were at the very front of the military formation, along with 50 large Marine warships surrounding Marineford.
Layer upon layer of defenses were fully deployed. Above the execution platform, Ace knelt in the middle, with two old Marine veterans standing on either side of him: Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Hero Garp.
Sengoku held a megaphone. "I have an important matter to announce, regarding the great significance of Fire Fist Ace's execution. Besides being the Commander of the 2nd Division of the Whitebeard Pirates, Fire Fist Ace has another identity! Fire Fist Ace's true identity is the biological son of the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger! He inherited the bloodline of sin!"
The entire venue fell silent! The Marines were horrified. The news of the Pirate King's bloodline being exposed immediately ignited the world, and also heightened people's attention to the war in various sea areas.
Time passed by minute by minute. On the execution platform, a Den Den Mushi rang.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, the fleet led by Daichi the Destroyer has been spotted. A total of six warships, with an estimated force of over 2,000 men!"
"Continue monitoring!"
"Yes!" The Den Den Mushi responded, and continued: "There's also an unexpected situation. Just now, the Gates of Justice opened."
"What?!" Sengoku's face turned grim. Another unexpected incident!
He could only tolerate Daichi's side for now; the other party probably had no intention of starting a war with the Marines, otherwise he wouldn't have brought only 2,000 men. The main force of the Beast Pirates was still in the New World, and engaged in battle with Red-Hair Shanks.
As for the Gates of Justice, no matter how worried he was, he had no time to consider it. The Whitebeard Pirates had appeared! Directly in front of Marineford, over forty pirate ships emerged from the thick fog!
"The great pirate fleet has appeared!"
"They are the Captains under Whitebeard!"
"'Knight of the Sea' Doma, 'Ice Witch' Whitey Bay, 'Great Whirlpool Spider' Squard... These big figures are all famous Captains!" The officers broke out in a cold sweat.
Soon, four gigantic whale ships burst out from beneath the sea in the bay, and Whitebeard and his Commanders appeared en masse.
"My beloved son, are you alright!"
"Whitebeard!!!"
The war officially began!
In the distant sea, on the Groudon
"It's started!" Daichi looked at the battlefield, his gaze deep. His subordinates gathered behind Daichi, nervously asking: "Daichi-sama, can the Whitebeard Pirates win?"
"Win?" Daichi glanced at his subordinates. If half of these New World pirates could return alive, that would be good enough. If rescuing Ace counted as winning, then there was a slight possibility.
Only a slight possibility.
However, the Whitebeard Pirates' decades of accumulation had gathered a large number of strong individuals, which even the Beast Pirates would find difficult to catch up to in a short time. It made him feel a bit envious. His fear of insufficient firepower was subtly aching!
The waves began to surge, quickly forming a huge tsunami that rushed towards Marineford. Without corresponding measures, the tsunami alone would be enough to destroy Marineford.
"What kind of power is this!" His subordinates were terrified, unable to believe what they were seeing.
Daichi looked at the tsunami, equally amazed. Such a large-scale tsunami could easily destroy an island, or even a country, but it was effortless for Whitebeard. Whitebeard merely relied on his ability to unleash the great power of nature!
"Hmm, can I do that too?" Daichi stroked his chin in thought. The essence of Whitebeard's ability was earthquakes, but it was relatively conceptual, capable of causing seaquakes and airquakes. Although he couldn't cause airquakes, he could use the earth as a medium to cause earthquakes, and earthquakes are usually accompanied by tsunamis.
As long as he tried a few more times, controlling the changes in the Earth's crust, he might be able to replicate this scene, or even create a larger tsunami. He needed to find a deserted place to practice!
"Ice Age!" The gigantic tsunami was frozen!
"Phew~~~!" His subordinates collectively breathed a sigh of relief. Even not being at the center of the tsunami, they could feel deep despair. If the tsunami had crashed down, they dared not imagine the consequences. The instinctive fear of natural disasters made them subconsciously hope that someone could stop it. Fortunately, humans can overcome nature. The bay was frozen by Aokiji.
With a foothold, the pirates and Marines began hand-to-hand combat, and the Admirals and Commanders also moved out, their fierce clashes dizzying to watch. Everyone held binoculars, staring at the battle on the island.
"What a huge Giant!"
"As big as a Man-Beast!"
"It's Oars Jr!"
When Oars Jr. appeared, his subordinates' emotions were once again stirred. However, facing countless strong individuals, Oars's enormous size became a target, and he soon fell.
Daichi shook his head as he watched. The Giant Race could only display terrifying destructive power when in groups; a single Giant, even Oars Jr., had little impact on a top-tier battlefield.
When a group of prisoners descended from the sky, the battlefield became even more chaotic.
"Who are those guys?"
"Eh? Crocodile?"
"And Jinbe, the Knight of the Sea!"
"So many famous people!" The Impel Down prisoner team arrived!
Daichi's gaze narrowed slightly. The situation was developing as expected, so Blackbeard should be arriving soon, but he probably wouldn't appear until Whitebeard was on the verge of death. Now, he just had to wait!
"Where's Luffy?" Sanji held his binoculars, constantly scanning the battlefield. He still hadn't seen Luffy, and while he felt relieved, he also couldn't help but worry. If Ace died, Luffy would be incredibly heartbroken.
On the other side, Kamabakka Kingdom
The Okama gathered around the Den Den Mushi, listening to the live broadcast from Sabaody Archipelago. They had no visuals, only sound.
"Ace is being executed!" Luffy was in a trance.
"Please give me a ship, I want to save Ace!"
"We already told you it's impossible!" The Okama were depressed. Ever since this kid learned about Ace's execution, he had been insisting on going to Marineford to save his brother Ace, but Momoiro Island was very far from Marineford, making it impossible to catch up.
The Okama exchanged glances and nodded secretly. The next moment, everyone simultaneously pounced on Luffy.
"Ugh!" Soon, Luffy passed out. The Okama felt conflicted.
"This kid was already covered in wounds, and he's been trying to set sail for the past few days without a moment's rest. If he doesn't get some sleep, he won't be able to hold on."
"Ah, I quite like him."
"Me too."
They understood Luffy and also liked this loyal little guy. If they could, they wouldn't mind giving him a ride. But they really couldn't. Even if they reached Marineford, the war would have already ended. The outcome would not change.
"Ivankov has escaped Impel Down and is now on the battlefield!"
"Really?!" Hearing the news of their Queen from the Den Den Mushi, all the Okama were invigorated and immediately gathered around the Den Den Mushi.
The Den Den Mushi broadcasted.
"Eh eh eh? Isn't that Captain Buggy the Clown, the legendary crewmate of the Pirate King Gol D. Roger, who has been living in anonymity?"
"That's right, it is I!"
The Okama were stunned for a moment, then collectively bristled.
"Who are you!!!"
