Finally Makes an Appearance

The enormous whale bypassed the even larger Gate of Justice and escaped from the turbulent currents.

Looking further ahead, the massive naval fortress could be seen in the distance.

"Wow, that's fast! No wonder it's Laboon!"

The Straw Hat Kid sat atop the whale's head, laughing heartily.

"Have we finally arrived?"

The tall, blond man wore a devilish smile.

After twenty years of honing his skills in prison, the moment has finally arrived to shake the world!

"Looks like we've arrived just in time."

The white-haired man carried a long knife he had stolen from somewhere, and a bright smile graced his face.

I've just returned to the high seas and encountered such a fantastic scene! I absolutely have to make a good impression from now on.

Among the Straw Hat Crew, Sanji's expression was calm as he silently smoked a cigarette.

He never imagined he would meet his elderly father under such circumstances.

What surprised him even more was that the harsh and cruel father he remembered seemed to have become a completely different person.

The first thing I said to him was, "Sanji, how have you been these past few years?"

Although they weren't exactly close, their attitude was much kinder than before, and they even invited him to the Vinsmoke Family sometime.

He almost suspected it was a fake.

"Hey, what's that in the sky?"

As he drew closer, Zoro noticed a colossal creature peeking out from the clouds above the Marine Headquarters in the distance.

"Is it a dragon?"

Does such a creature really exist in the world?

"It's Kaido!"

Sabo, standing next to Straw Hat Kid, said solemnly.

The mentally challenged younger brother insisted on coming here, so the older brother had no choice but to accompany him.

He sent Mr. Mori and Mr. Judge back with the rescued people first, while he and Ivankov came to the battlefield.

"Huh? That's--"

Sabo had excellent eyesight, and he noticed something on Kaido's claws.

The closer I got, the more familiar it seemed.

Their approach was noticed by the people in Marineford at that time.

"What's that on the sea? Something huge is coming!"

"Is that a whale? It's a huge whale!"

"Look! There's someone on the whale's back!"

Immediately, someone took out binoculars and looked towards the whale's back.

Then I looked.

"Ah!!!"

Screams erupted instantly.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku! It's Patrick Redfield and Douglas Bullet!!"

Two names that, long ago, were enough to shake the world, instantly spread throughout Marineford.

"Redfield? That guy's still alive!"

Moria stared in astonishment at the whale that was gradually approaching Crescent Bay, and then finally saw the white-haired man on the whale's back.

Bullet?

Crocodile also noticed the man on the whale's back, a man with whom he had a special connection. "He actually escaped from Impel Down?"

"This is getting interesting!" Hawk Eyes's lips curled into a smile.

He came here specifically for this kind of scene.

"Haha, indeed, things are really getting lively!"

Blackbeard was practically gritting his teeth.

Couldn't execution be done more cleanly and efficiently?

Why are there so many troublemakers and jerks?

Couldn't my beloved father just die peacefully?

"Hey, hey, hey, things seem to be getting a little bad."

Kizaru had already returned to the area below the Execution Stand, said with a hint of helplessness.

"Prepare for battle!"

Akainu's words were concise and to the point.

That is--

Vice Admiral Garp had jumped onto the Execution Stand, saw another figure on the whale's back.

"Luffy!!"

In the sky, Fire Fist Ace, who was on Kaido's claws, suddenly waved his hand downwards and shouted, "Oh! Sabo is here too!"

"Ace!!"

The Straw Hat Kid excitedly shouted back, "Hahaha, long time no see!"

It has been three years since Ace set sail.

"Yo, Ace!"

Sabo greeted him with a hearty laugh.

Although I managed to meet him briefly when I was in New World, it feels like a long-awaited reunion now.

"Asshole!"

The Sengoku was marked by gritted teeth.

Although he had already made ample preparations for any possible unexpected situations, he certainly didn't want any unexpected situations to occur if possible.

There's nothing more to say now.

"All Marines! Prepare for battle!" the Fleet Admiral roared. "Then, execute them immediately!"

No more mistakes can be made; execute Whitebeard immediately!

The two marines carrying out the execution had already raised their spears high, ready to pierce Whitebeard's heart.

"Hehehehe! Interesting fellows, one after another they're popping up!"

Kaido laughed heartily, "Then prepare for battle!"

"Newgate, I'm not going to let you die so easily!"

He transformed into human form and began to plummet towards the plaza below like a meteorite.

At the same time, his violent aura swept across the entire area like a hurricane, centered on him, causing large numbers of naval soldiers to collapse to the ground.

The two marines on the Execution Stand also foamed at the mouth and lost consciousness.

"Wow! Damn Kaido! Couldn't you have told me beforehand?!"

The two creatures he was holding in his claws also began to fall simultaneously.

"Who cares about you brats!"

Kaido laughed heartily.

However, Kid immediately used magnetism to levitate his body.

Ace also transformed into flames, roaring across the sky before landing on the whale's head to reunite with the other two brothers.

"Oh, it's been a long time since we've seen the ASL trio!"

Ace hugged his two younger brothers.

"Dad, I'm here to save you!!"

Jinbe dove into the sea.

"Hahaha! Let's fight, Navy!"

The man known as the Devil's Successor, Douglas Bullet, leaped into the air and crashed into the square like a cannonball.

Before the surrounding navy could react, the purplish-black light spread out, engulfing the entire plaza—no, even the entire Marineford was enveloped in it.

The warships in the port began to collapse, the ground began to crumble, and even the headquarters building collapsed directly.

Not to mention the Execution Stand, which vanished instantly, and Sengoku and Whitebeard crashed to the ground.

"Bullet!!"

The Sengoku roared in fury.

A colossal monster rose up ahead, a purplish-black giant hundreds of meters tall, looming over everyone in the middle of the plaza.

"Oh, has it Awakening?"

Aokiji leisurely dusted himself off.

"What a monster."

Kizaru sighed as well.

"Hahahaha! Let's fight, Marines! Let's see who is truly the strongest!"

Bullet roared, his two massive arms already raised.

At the same time, a figure landed on the shoulder of the Bullet Giant.

The man known as the Redfield stared at the Whitebeard not far away.

"Newgate, it would be too ugly for you to die like this. Are you ready to cause a huge scene?"

He lunged at it.

Just as the entire Marineford was descending into utter chaos, a ship slowly descended from the sky.

"Really, they all arrived so quickly."
