One Piece? The Truth?

In a corner of the sky that Doflamingo looked up at, high in the air, invisible to the naked eye from the ground.

Hovering there was a conspicuous red One Piece ship, the Blood Pluton.

The Hell Pirates finally arrived ahead of schedule.

This global live broadcast has now begun.

However, the Whitebeard Pirates have not yet appeared, so it is still timely.

On the second deck, all the officers of the Hell Pirates sat in different positions, watching the screen that had just been set up in front of them.

"Doflamingo said that the entire population of Marineford has been evacuated and only the Navy personnel remain."

"The navy has deployed dozens of warships around the entire Marineford... not counting those patrolling the coastal and offshore areas."

Dom spoke as he adjusted the equipment.

He has already contacted Doflamingo.

Click Just then, a Den Den Mushi the size of a child opened its eyes and received the signal.

The light shone from the eyes and was projected onto the screen.

The footage shown was from the current naval live stream.

Everyone had different expressions.

Meanwhile, cheers from the One Piece could be heard from the deck below.

Everyone is watching this highly anticipated 'battle of the century'.

Oboro dared not lower the Blood Pluton too much, guessing that Sengoku was wary not only of the Whitebeard Pirates, but also of the Hell Pirates. The Navy couldn't possibly be unaware of their recent rampage in Impel Down.

"How will the Whitebeard Pirates appear?" Crocodile crossed his legs, leaned back in his chair, and glanced sideways at Oboro.

Currently, the navy's defenses appear to be very effective.

It won't be easy for the Whitebeard Pirates to break through.

"Underwater".

Long uttered two words.

Everyone's expression changed.

Rob Lucci hearing this, Lu Qi, who was leaning against the ship's railing, felt a tremor in his heart. He then put his hands in his pockets and prepared to leave.

Based on the information Oboro had previously revealed, it was as if he had a premonition about the outcome of this battle. Rob Lucci had been waiting for him to say more. Although he didn't know why Oboro could make such a conclusion, since he had said it, he still felt it was necessary to inform the higher-ups in the government.

If the Whitebeard Pirates could be stopped in advance, then... the World Government's chances of winning would undoubtedly be greater, and many casualties would be reduced.

"The live stream has started, where are you going?"

However, just as he took a few steps, trying to appear calm, a questioning voice suddenly sounded behind him.

"Go back to your room to get something."

"Rob Lucci said calmly."

"This is a war that will shake the world, and it will be a topic of conversation for a long time to come... Don't miss such a wonderful scene." Oboro smiled slightly at Rob Lucci.

"..."

Rob Lucci and the captain exchanged a glance, then returned to their original positions.

"This scene... the three of them really have quite the airs."

The Crocodile scoffed coldly.

The appearance of three naval admirals on the screen caused a small commotion, after which the three sat on three stone chairs below the execution platform.

On the left is Kizaru, in the middle is Akainu, and on the right is Aokiji.

"Really not getting involved? I feel like just watching from the sidelines isn't very interesting... Hahahaha." Waldo laughed loudly.

"Besides him, who else wants to participate?"

Long tilted her head and looked at the other members.

"If Whitebeard is going to die here, I want to see that old man off on his final journey before he breathes his last," Crocodile said.

Is there anything else?

Long continued to ask.

"I want to go kill some people."

Shiryu raised a wicked smile.

"Alright then... we'll try to make it out as early as possible."

"You're not the type to join in the fun, so your presence here means you have some purpose."

Crocodile, "What do you want?"

"Don't worry, you'll find out."

He gave a perfunctory reply.

Then, everyone's attention turned back to the screen.

"It was the Sengoku."

The viewpoint focuses on the execution platform, where the Sengoku emerges from the passage and steps onto the platform.

He dismissed the two executioners beside Ace, then reached out and took a Den Den Mushi that was handed to him.

His voice, at this very moment, resounded in every corner of the world where this live broadcast could be watched.

The camera also focused on Sengoku and Ace.

Ace, bound by shackles, knelt on the ground in a sorry state, head bowed, without uttering a word.

"Ace, tell me your father's name."

Sengoku's sudden question not only made Ace tense up, but also stunned all the viewers watching the live broadcast.

"My dad has Whitebeard."

"Wrong!"

"There's nothing wrong with it! It's just Whitebeard, no one else!"

"At the time, we searched desperately with our eyes wide open... maybe the man's child was left on some island."

"We conducted a thorough investigation based on the limited information and possibilities provided by cipherpol, but we still found nothing."

"It was a conspiracy to demonstrate a mother's resolve; it deceived us, it deceived the whole world."

"In the South Blue there is a small island Baterilla Batria... Your mother's name is Portgas D. Rouge ... That woman's actions defied our common sense; for the sake of the child in her womb, with astonishing willpower, she kept the fetus in her womb for a full 20 months..."

On the screen, Sengoku speaks in a heavy tone, word by word.

Ace's face began to show struggle, anger, and a loss of color.

Upon seeing this, Long smiled.

"You couldn't possibly not know..."

"Your father is... the One Piece, Gol D. Roger!"

When Sengoku uttered those words, even those watching on screen, not actually there, could clearly feel that all the soldiers in Marineford Hell Pirates to suddenly slow their breathing.

There was a moment of stunned silence.

Fire Fist Ace is the son of One Piece Roger!

This news, at this moment, is destined to 'explode' in the ocean.

However, the members of the Hell Pirates remained calm because Oboro had already revealed Ace's identity.

"Hey, former member of the Roger Pirates, this is Roger's son. Aren't you going to help him? Out of consideration for the bonds between the previous generation."

Shiryu held a handkerchief, wiping the blade, and had a cigar in his mouth. He glanced mockingly at Bare, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, seemingly indifferent to the situation.

"That was so long ago? I can hardly remember..."

Bare reached out and twisted his neck, a wicked smile on his face.

To be honest, he didn't have any real connection with the others in Roger Pirates... He only joined the crew so that he could one day defeat Roger, as for the others... well...

"Since we're on the topic, I'll chime in: you've been to Laugh Tale, haven't you?"

"The One Piece's One Piece".

Waldo also looked at Bare.

"Do you want to?"

Bare licked his lips, his tone strange, and then looked at Oboro.

He did indeed possess information about the One Piece, news that drove everyone at sea mad, but Oboro had never mentioned it since he boarded the ship.

They seemed to have absolutely no interest.

"No need to be too mysterious. Even if I've never been there, I know what the so-called One Piece is."

Oboro noticed Bare's enigmatic gaze and chuckled softly, "The reason the Tree of Knowledge, or rather Ohara, was destroyed was because those people touched upon the 'truth,' and the same goes for Roger's so-called One Piece."

"The librarian of the Omniscience Tree Library in Ohara, Dr. Clover... and the scholars he led have been studying a celestial model for many years, which is placed in the very center of Ohara. I have seen that celestial model. Although I did not see it with my own eyes, I know what it looks like."

Oboro continued, "The Red Line didn't exist at the beginning. Initially, the entire ocean consisted of only two regions, separated by the Calm Belt. In other words, the Red Line was formed later for some reason, intersecting with the Calm Belt, which caused the ocean to become four sea areas besides the Grand Line."

"On this vast ocean, the magnetic field is a very important element. The reason why the Grand Line is dangerous is that the chaotic magnetic field causes environmental changes, resulting in all kinds of strange weather and ocean currents, and causing navigators to lose their direction and rely solely on the navigation needle."

"Do you remember those birds we saw on Jaya Island and Skypiea? They could tell directions, and their heads would only face a specific direction?" Oboro looked at Dom and Kaka and the others.

"I vaguely remember."

"The orientation of their heads differs from the normal cardinal directions, which is due to the magnetic field... or rather, it's a problem with the magnetic field of the entire planet Earth."

"When you arrived in Laugh Tale, Roger said you were too early... right?"

Oboro then looked at Bare.

"..."

Bare's gaze began to turn horrified.

He even suspected that Oboro might have some kind of ability to read his memories.

"Timing is a crucial element. The so-called Void Century is just a cycle. Joy Boy was the first One Piece recorded by the World Government, and he was also the first person to appear on the Red Line. What Joy Boy couldn't do eight hundred years ago, now it's the next Joy Boy's turn to accomplish."

"And the timeline we are currently in marks the beginning of yet another cycle..."

Who is Joy Boy?

Dorans was completely confused and looked at Kaka beside him, "Did you understand?"

"If we were to start from the beginning, it would probably take days and nights to explain. To put it simply, the chaotic magnetic field in the Grand Line right now... is all caused by the 'moon.' You can think of it as a 'symbol.' Until the time comes and the other celestial bodies orbiting Earth don't form any unusual phenomena, the magnetic field won't return to normal. And once that time arrives, the sea will briefly submerge everything... The reason why the Celestial Dragons chose to live on the Red Line, the highest point in the world, and their clothing, including the bubbles they wear on their heads, is all because of this."

"Have you ever wondered why the starting point of the Grand Line is called Reverse Mountain?"

"Because once the cycle of reincarnation ends, the world will be different, everything will be reversed. The Grand Line will become a calm sea with an ordinary magnetic field, while the Four Blues seas before entering the Grand Line will become a completely new Grand Line. Loguetown is also known as the town of beginning and end, which is what it means... After Roger sailed around the world, he discovered that the final island he had been searching for was actually his hometown where he set sail, which is why he was both amused and exasperated... They were indeed amazing, managing to see through the truth of this world through their own abilities even under a chaotic magnetic field. Therefore, the One Piece he left behind was simply to let future generations understand what kind of world they live in."

"However, the One Piece is only part of the secrets of this world. Many 'ugly things' have happened around factors such as celestial bodies and magnetic fields, including the truth of the Void Century." After finishing speaking, Oboro added to himself, "In addition, with the changes in the magnetic field, the sea level has actually been rising all along. It's not just that when the time of reincarnation arrives and celestial anomalies appear, the sea will submerge everything. Humans also have the power to cause the sea level to rise, ushering in the so-called apocalypse."

"But don't worry, the so-called ocean that will submerge everything is only temporary... What's important is the New World that follows."

"The prerequisite is that you have to survive."

"Humanity needs to work together."

After giving a brief overview, Long noticed that everyone was looking at her with shock and curiosity, and she chuckled to herself, "What's so surprising?"

"Even if the World Government tries to cover up the truth, many things are already telling us the answer, aren't they..."

"Besides the types I mentioned earlier... the Kozuki Family of Wano Country, their totem is also a revelation of the answer."

"Including the Skypiea, what Enel considers the 'Land of God,' and the life forms living on the Moon..."

The deck was completely silent.

"In short, Roger wasn't lying; the One Piece is priceless... After reincarnation, it might be a completely new world on New World. Otherwise, after the ocean submerges everything, all that awaits you is desolation. Once the magnetic field stabilizes and the tide recedes, you might have to start all over again."

"That's why we need the power of all humankind."

"Of course, in this context, there are definitely people who want to engage in monopolistic practices. They are selfish and want their power to last for countless centuries. To put it bluntly, they don't want their position to be threatened or their share of the pie to be taken away. They don't want to be able to share with other races or groups."

"That's right, I'm talking about the Celestial Dragons, who harvest resources from all over the world... obtain 'Heavenly Tribute,' stockpile it in advance, and prepare for that moment to arrive, surviving the brief 'apocalypse' before continuing to maintain their glory in the 'New World'..."

"The truth... is simply two kinds of nature: selflessness and selfishness."
