Declaration of War

A banquet is also being held on Isle of White Soil today.

It was a banquet to welcome Sirius and his group, and also a pre-battle feast for the final battle to come.

"I never imagined the Devil Fruit Tree possessed such remarkable abilities."

During the banquet, Dragon Sirius, who was sitting next to him.

"That Joy Boy is probably afraid that even after gathering Three Ancient Weapons, the next generation still won't be able to defeat Imu."

Sirius ate heartily while casually remarking.

"That's truly a remarkable man."

Dragon sighed, "Without him, I can't imagine any possibility that we could have defeated Imu."

That's absolutely true.

Even Sirius, without the Devil Fruit left behind by Joy Boy, would never have grown to his current level and might have died on that Desert Island long ago.

Joy Boy left behind Ancient Weapon and Devil Fruit for the present-day ocean; it is the combination of these powers that makes it possible for him to rival Imu.

"However, Sirius," Dragon suddenly said with some seriousness, "Strictly speaking, the upcoming battle doesn't really concern you anymore."

That's absolutely true.

Having found Laugh Tale and completed their final voyage, the Sirius Pirates were now free to continue their adventures into space, leaving the affairs of the Blue Sea behind.

"Personal grudges"

Sirius chuckled. "She beat me up so badly last time, I can't let this go unpunished."

"That's a lame excuse," the Red-Haired laughed heartily.

"Haha, that's just how Sirius is."

Yamato leaned on Sirius's shoulder with a grin, "He only ever does what he wants to do, he doesn't need any reason."

"I see."

Dragon chuckled and shook his head. "So, we can only fight side-by-side, right?"

"This will absolutely not be an easy war."

The Red-Haired said, "Even if we have obtained everything left behind by Joy Boy, the power that Imu possesses is still immense."

"But now we have no choice but to fight, right?" Jack said coldly. "There's no turning back."

"Jack is right," Sirius said with a smile. "At this point, there's nothing more to say; all that's left is to fight!"

"That's right, then,"

Dragon raised his glass high. "Prepare to declare war!"

After publishing its newspaper a few days ago, World Economic News Agency was on the verge of bankruptcy.

Although Morgans was one of the underground giants of the new century with a wide range of businesses, such reckless newspaper distribution around the world still brought the company's finances to the brink of collapse.

This man had already planned to dissolve his company and retire.

But on that very day, a phone call came in.

"What?!"

Morgans, who had felt his life had burned out, was revitalized.

"Declaration of War? Hahahaha, of course that can only be published in the World Economy News Paper!"

"I'll spread this message to the whole world right away! And I definitely won't be absent from that final battle!!"

It's reignited!

The moment that will truly change the world is about to arrive!

Morgans lived up to Morgans reputation; even in such dire straits World Economic Journal continued to operate with all its might, and soon the new newspaper was sent all over the world.

Of course, this time it's a paid service.

This time, the newspaper only carried one news item.

<Declaration of War>

This is the newspaper headline.

The first thing he said was...

"The era of the Celestial Dragon exploiting the world by passing on power through bloodlines is over!"

This is a declaration of war from the Revolutionary Army to the World Government.

"Declaration of War!! The Revolutionary Army declares war on the World Government!"

"It's not just the Revolutionary Army, is it? Although it wasn't mentioned in the newspapers, Black Wolf's crew will definitely participate too, right?"

"It wasn't entirely unexpected. After that long-buried history was revealed, of course some people would want to do something."

What will the world eventually become?

"Who knows? Anyway, it doesn't matter to us who wins or loses."

A world-changing war is about to break out, but people aren't as concerned as one might expect.

The various Affiliated Nation under the World Government are very concerned.

Because given the Revolutionary Army's style, they would be in trouble if the government were to lose.

However, all they could do was worry helplessly, as the government didn't even seem inclined to contact them.

After all, they would be of no use in the war to come.

However, in some hidden corners, unknown monsters are silently watching how the situation unfolds.

In a buckwheat noodle shop somewhere in Alabasta, a blind man ate his noodles while listening to the patrons discussing the declaration of war in the newspaper. He then remarked with some emotion,

"It's such a pity that this blind old man will not be able to witness this magnificent era of change."

Of course, nobody really cared about him.

While the people on the high seas were buzzing with discussion, the people in Mary Geoise, at the other center of the storm, finally began to respond.

"Is it finally about to begin?"

The naval personnel gathered together, and Vice Admiral Tsuru, the Great Advisor who had been fighting on the front lines of the sea since the last era as the naval strategist, sighed with emotion.

"This is the first time I've felt so lost in battle against the enemy."

"Yes, is the battle we're about to participate in the right one?"

Aokiji lay lazily on the table, looking completely listless, exuding an aura of drowsiness and lethargy.

"Stop talking nonsense! What's there to hesitate about now!"

Only one man remained defiant, only he remained resolute. Akainu coldly said, "What good can Revolutionary Army that mixes with pirates be?"

"Wow, just like Sakazuki's usual remarks," Kizaru said with a grin.

Akainu completely ignored him, lowering his voice slightly, "As for the World Government, they've been fooled for so many years, isn't that enough?"

"Oh? Sakazuki, what do you mean?" Kizaru chimed in, playing the straight man.

"I joined the Navy only to fight for justice!"

A man as fiery as a volcano, possessing a heart of steel forged a hundred times.

"Sakazuki is right, the most important thing now is to win this war!" Sengoku said earnestly.

If they lose, the navy is finished.

"Then, let's see if there's any chance to change the government."

The existence of Imu is making the Navy very uneasy.

But what they didn't know was that at that moment, among the Flower Room...

"Interesting guys,"

Imu looked at the projection of the navy holding a meeting in the air before him, his voice tinged with amusement, "I'm curious to see what they're planning to do."

Before her, the Five Elders knelt on the ground, saying nothing.

In short, prepare for battle.

Imu waved his hand, the image dissipated, and then the entire Marineford trembled slightly.

"I can't wait!"

The final battle is about to begin.
