Before the war, movements on all sides
The following day, five warships, led by five Vice Admiral, escorted Ace to Marineford Square.
Before Ace was taken to the execution platform, Haku watched as Garp saw Ace one last time.
This was never allowed in the first place!
But everyone still chose to turn a blind eye!
Haku looked out the window of headquarters and gazed at the square in front of it, towards the crescent-shaped Harbor.
Haku's Observation Haki isn't strong enough to cover even the seawater.
So, he was also curious whether Whitebeard had already arrived at Marineford.
Haku certainly wouldn't go into the water out of boredom; her job was simply to make sure a few people were safe!
There are less than five hours left before Ace is to be publicly Execution!
As the Execution date drew closer, the four forces began to swirl and maneuver!
The danger on this the Sea is far greater than before. Some Marine Branch, whose main forces have been drawn away by headquarters, have begun to suffer from Pirates attacks!
For Pirates, the greater the chaos at sea, the more freely they can burn, kill, rob, and plunder!
Now, quite a few forces are eyeing Whitebeard's territory.
Only when that most powerful man falls can the Pirates frenzy of New Era truly begin!
Guided by this atmosphere, some ordinary people vaguely sensed something was amiss.
And now, as Impel Down!
Having successfully navigated through levels 1 through 4 of Luffy, Luffy faces off against Magellan, the only Poison Human in Impel Down with the most dangerous abilities!
Luffy, who has been subjected to the "poison torture," will suffer a painful death over the next twenty-four hours.
Magellan ordered Luffy to be imprisoned in the central tower of Level 5, the Freezing Hell Impel Down. The Impel Down riot was completely suppressed in an instant after the warden took action!
On Level 5, Bon Clay drags Luffy through the snow, searching for a slim chance of a miracle. War Wolves leap at their prey, and just as Bon Clay is about to be killed, Luffy unintentionally unleashes his Conqueror's Haki! Exhausted, the two collapse amidst the wolves and the blizzard, where the revolutionaries Inazuma and Ivankov suddenly appear.
Luffy, who paid the price of ten years of his lifespan to receive Ivankov's treatment, is struggling on the edge of life and death amidst the destruction and rebirth of his body.
Under normal circumstances, Luffy would wake up in two days, and would still need three days to recover his strength. After a long battle with the Virus, Luffy has successfully recovered and been revived!
During his frenzied eating session, which lasted for more than thirty minutes, Luffy also made contact with Ivankov, the Okama King, who had been informed by Dragon and had received the information beforehand!
After Ivankov was shocked to learn that Luffy was Dragon's son, he decided to personally help Luffy escape Impel Down!
Meanwhile, the Red Hair Pirates successfully ambushed the Beasts Big Mom Pirates!
It's worth noting that Red-Haired Shanks actually managed to hold off two of the Four Emperors who had been established for a long time!
When this news reached Sengoku's ears, his expression turned somewhat gloomy! Mainly Shanks was the youngest of the Four Emperors, it was obvious how much of a threat he posed to the Navy!
Among this generation of Marines, neither Akainu, Aokiji, nor Kizaru could achieve this level of skill!
And it seems that only Haku is capable of doing this, and might even be able to completely overpower her opponent!
Sengoku's head twitched involuntarily at the thought of Haku.
Even if Haku didn't say it, Sengoku could already sense that she was at odds with the World Government!
It's possible that the relationship between the two parties is worse than they imagine.
Sengoku's eye twitched as he listened to his subordinate's report.
To be honest, he even considered abandoning the Execution of Ace and instead leading the vast majority of the naval commanders to the three factions to reap the benefits.
However, Sengoku knew that this was not a long-term solution. Abandoning the Execution Ace would not only cause chaos within the Navy, but would also allow Pirates to see the Navy's weakness, thus making them even more unscrupulous in their rampage on the Sea.
Furthermore, the Whitebeard Pirates have already arrived at Marineford, making this great battle unavoidable. Sengoku must lead the Marines to meet this challenge and, at the same time, bring an end to the legend of the sea, Whitebeard!
Sengoku took a deep breath, suppressing his anxiety!
Just then, Sengoku received a report directly from his subordinates.
The report was very brief, mainly stating that Blackbeard was sailing to Impel Down in a warship without permission.
At the same time that the Sengoku received this message!
Haku, who was chatting and joking with Momousagi at headquarters, suddenly sat up straight!
"This bastard is quite good at hiding! He's almost beyond the range of my Observation Haki and abilities!" Haku said with a sneer.
Momousagi looked at Haku attitude had changed drastically, with a puzzled expression and asked, "What happened?"
"A bunch of Nezumi that have been hiding right under my nose have only just shown themselves!" Haku said dismissively.
Momousagi seemed to understand, but she still asked, "So, which group of people are you referring to as the Nezumi?"
Haku explained, "Who else could it be? It's the Blackbeard Pirates, the only ones we can't even find these days, even Fleet Admiral Sengoku!"
Although Haku verbally looked down on Blackbeard and his crew, Haku couldn't help but marvel at Blackbeard's insane ambition, considering that he had unleashed devastation upon Impel Down!
The Five Elders, who had been pushing for the execution and secretly colluding with many people to handle the dirty work, were also paying close attention to the Marine Headquarters.
Or rather, their focus wasn't on executing Fire Fist Ace. Their primary concern was whether Doflamingo had actually killed Gecko Moria!
Or perhaps Blackbeard Teach will be able to successfully kill Haku! Or perhaps...
In short, the Five Elders made numerous arrangements using this execution incident as an opportunity!
Before this execution even began, there was another place that was affected by it.
And this place is right now the most bustling island, the Sabaody Archipelago!
This place is where the residents of Marineford who received the evacuation notice gathered, and most of these residents are family members of the naval personnel who participated in the war!
They were actually praying that the war would be averted. At the same time, they hoped that the man wouldn't show up!
On the enormous screen, among the thousands of Marine, none could see their beloved families. All that could be seen was a precarious Future.
Meanwhile, in order to deliver reports from Marineford to the world as quickly as possible, reporters and photographers have quickly gathered here! They are staring intently at the screens that are not yet turned on, waiting for the latest and most important first-hand news!
