The live broadcast was just advertising for Whitebeard

As the navy celebrated their victory, Camera Den Den Mushi set up by the Fleet Admiral Sengoku, captured the moment and transmitted it to every corner of the world via electromagnetic signals.

Meanwhile, the World Government cooperated by installing Projection Den Den Mushi in various public places, such as bars, squares, and restaurants, to convey the Navy's intimidation to the people.

The effect is absolutely fantastic.

People across the seas and the Grand Line saw the massive navy, their high morale, the forest of swords, guns, and cannons, and the Three Admirals whose imposing presence was like a mountain. They immediately felt immense pressure.

Even the "broadcast tax" that the World Government employees suddenly came up with to forcibly demand was obediently paid by the bosses.

This is the essence of taxation: the violent extraction of idle funds from society.

When the Fleet Admiral Sengoku stood up, he not only became the center of the picture, but also exuded an aura that surpassed that of 100,000 naval officers and soldiers.

The whole world fell silent, quietly awaiting the words of the Sengoku.

Holding the microphone, Sengoku said, "Fire Fist Ace is no ordinary pirate; the most wicked blood flows in his veins—"

"His father is— the Pirate King! Gol D. Roger!!"

The strategist Fleet Admiral Sengoku was unambiguous; his words were enough to shock the world.

This sentence was spread to every corner of the world by the Visual Den Den Mushi).

Almost half of the people have seen and heard about the Paradise of the four seas and the Grand Line, as well as the New World in the latter half.

Whether pirates or ordinary civilians, everyone stood frozen in place, dumbfounded, as if petrified by Boa Hancock.

In a remote corner of the Sabaody Archipelago, inside Shakky's Rip-off Bar, Shakky's cigarette fell from her hand for the first time.

She picked up the cigarette and sighed, "Ace is actually—'s son! This is really troublesome. That old man Rayleigh is going to be tormented—"

Shakky's words about Rayleigh had gone numb. He stood frozen in the square near the auction house in Sabaody, mingling with the crowd who were also standing there like statues, his spirits sinking lower and lower.

Ace naturally denied Sengoku's claim outright.

He has no memory of his father, only the vaguest feelings he has about his mother.

Therefore, Ace felt no affection for his biological father, only deep hatred, firmly believing that his father had betrayed his mother and him.

This is the most typical manifestation of being deprived of love and longing to be loved.

That's why, after Ace was adopted by Vice Admiral Garp, he treated Luffy like a brother and had the utmost respect for Dadan.

After Ace was defeated by Whitebeard, he felt the family atmosphere of the Whitebeard Pirates and plunged into it, completely integrating into the Whitebeard Pirates.

So Ace insisted, "Nonsense! My father is Whitebeard!"

"Only Edward Newgate is my father!"

Naive, Ace was so naive.

This world isn't what it is, but rather what the powerful decide.

Sengoku immediately rejected him. "Your father is Gol D. Roger, you are the sinful bloodline left behind by the Pirate King!"

"Why do you think Whitebeard would go to such lengths to protect you? It's because you have the blood of the Pirate King, and he wanted to train you to be the next Pirate King!"

The reaffirmation from the Fleet Admiral Sengoku, coupled with the addition of the title "the World's Strongest Man," Whitebeard, made everyone believe it was true.

At that moment, the entire sea boiled!

Whether it was the Marines in the square, the Shichibukai, or even the viewers in front of the screen, everyone was shocked by Ace's background.

They couldn't help but start talking, the atmosphere was so crazy, almost everyone was shouting and yelling wildly.

"Fire Fist Ace—is actually the son of the Pirate King!?"

"This is terrifying! The most terrifying bloodline is still continuing! The world is doomed!"

"The bloodline of the Pirate King has not been broken! Big News Morgans, this is absolutely world-shaking Big News Morgans!"

"Damn it, we killed so many women and children, and it was all for nothing—it was all meaningless—"

"He's still alive—this evil bloodline must never be allowed to continue! Kill him!"

"Let Ace die just like his father!"

"The legend of Gol D. Roger is not dead!!!"

"The legend of the Pirate King and the legend of the great treasure must be true, otherwise fate wouldn't have been so kind to them."

Fleet Admiral Sengoku remained unaffected, his voice carrying steadily to everyone's ears. "Ever since you set sail and earned the nickname ' Fire Fist,' you, Ace, have been targeted by our Navy."

"The Navy monitors and pursues every pirate. Someone with your extraordinary talent will naturally attract our close attention!"

"Based on everything you've shown, the Navy has concluded that one day you will stand at the pinnacle of the next pirate era. That's why we investigated you thoroughly and confirmed your true identity."

"For the sake of world stability, for the sake of hard-won peace, your head must be taken here today!"

"Even if it means fighting the Whitebeard Pirates here and destroying Marineford, the Navy will do it!"

As soon as Sengoku finished speaking, 100,000 naval soldiers responded in unison, the Roar roars tearing through the sky as they vowed to fight the pirates to the death. Their belief in Justice was elevated in that instant, and their morale was higher than ever before.

Yes, besides Shazo, there were also his officers and soldiers.

Because this guy knew that the main objective this time was not to kill Ace, but to lure and kill Edward Newgate.

He also told his subordinates about it.

When the Marines of the 77th Branch realized that Ace was bait, and that they themselves were also bait, how could they possibly get excited?

I can't get excited!

It would be better to just say it plainly.

Furthermore, under Shazo's leadership, they personally cleaned up the East Blue, achieving the great victory of eliminating all pirates in the entire East Blue.

Afterwards, he swept across the four seas, gradually stabilizing the situation there.

During this process, the officers and soldiers of the 77th Branch repeatedly verified a principle: destroying the pirate crew is only the first step in eliminating pirates. If the powerful figures who produce pirates are not eliminated, it will all be in vain.

With the efforts of nobles, corrupt navy, and evil kingdoms, pirate crews will spring up like mushrooms after rain, and they will be impossible to wipe out.

They no longer believed the nonsense that killing one pirate could stop the Great Pirate Era.

Faced with irrefutable facts and the achievements of the peaceful seas they had personally created, the entire naval force of the 77th Branch became fanatical followers of Shazo.

Even the spy sent by Sakazuki, Merus Colonel, a naval intelligence officer who initially disguised himself as a naval Lieutenant, willingly became Shazo's lackey.

Meanwhile, under Shazo's tutelage, the 77th Branch Navy became quite slick.

They were well-versed in self-preservation and would never expose themselves to danger, so they all pretended to be excited.

Although it's very fake, it's enough to satisfy the superiors' scrutiny.

Brigadier General Xia Zuo felt very pleased with his subordinates' performance, confident that even if he caused a major incident later, his men would still be alive and well.

Just as the Marines were cheering and their morale was soaring, the Whitebeard Pirates appeared.

Under the Whitebeard Pirates, a total of 43 New World pirate crews and hundreds of large sailing warships, with their sails billowing, sailed towards Marineford.

The massive fleet carrying 50,000 pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates —the very target the Marine Headquarters had been preparing for months to ambush—appeared silently outside the port of Marineford.

On the sea shrouded in a thin mist, warships left hundreds of trails of water, which intersected and splashed up countless droplets.

The naval officers and soldiers were just as confused and panicked as the splashing water, and they cried out in alarm.

"It's the Whitebeard Pirates!"

"Damn it, where did they come from? What are the Patrol Ship on the outer perimeter doing?"

"What's going on? The Patrol Ship has completely blockaded the sea area. They didn't engage this fleet in battle. Did the pirate crew fall from the sky?"

Sengoku was also in a state of utter confusion. Even the wisest can make a mistake. Before the battle even began, he was outmaneuvered by Whitebeard.

The Whitebeard Pirates' sudden appearance at Marine Headquarters rendered the Navy's previous deployments useless, and the massive offshore Patrol Ship became a mere decoration.

The fact that Whitebeard was able to launch such a surprise attack on him today proves that he had countless opportunities to do the same in the past.

Whitebeard seemed to be saying: See? I held back before, and even now I wouldn't stoop to Sneak Attack you. I want to face you head-on when you're at your strongest.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku suppressed his emotions and calmly ordered, "All troops, prepare for battle! We must not allow the Whitebeard Pirates to break through the port!"

Just after Sengoku issued the battle order, he noticed a shadow appearing in the crescent-shaped harbor.

The enormous shadow continued to grow larger until finally a mast pierced the surface of the sea, revealing the Whitebeard Pirates ' flagship, the Moby Dick.

The still-present coating on the Moby Dick, which resembles a giant fin whale, provides an answer to everyone's questions.

It turns out that the entire Whitebeard Pirates had coated all their ships, transforming them into submarines, and broke through the outer blockade zone from beneath the sea, infiltrating Marineford undetected.

Shazo laughed and said, "How interesting. A simple trick has rendered the Navy's meticulous plan useless. There are some talented people among the pirates."

Faye Colonel and said, "As expected of the World's Number One pirate crew, they have quite a few hidden tricks up their sleeves."

Major Bellemere frowned and said, "So many large ships must require a considerable amount of tree sap, and this stuff can't be stored for long. Where did they get it from?"

"Yes, it wasn't that Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Vice Admiral Tsuru were careless and didn't expect Whitebeard to have such a move, but rather that Whitebeard shouldn't have..."

"You managed to get so much tree sap."

Shazo smiled and said, "In Sabaody, there's an absolute supply of sap for coating. The problem is the World Government personnel responsible for oversight; they are the biggest loophole."

The naval personnel of the 77th Branch sighed in unison. No matter how realistic they were and how determined they were to start over, deep down they still hoped that the navy could become a reliable support.

After all, they're both from the navy.

Like a giant whale leaping out of the sea, the massive Moby Dick, like a prehistoric whale, stands majestically in the middle of the bay, with a tall figure standing on its prow, where the coating has been broken.

This figure was truly towering; the burly men surrounding him generally only reached his knees.

But what was even more imposing was this man's aura. Just one glance was enough to intimidate even the most battle-hardened naval elites, causing their hearts to pound involuntarily.

He sported a signature crescent-shaped Whitebeard, possessed an exceptionally robust and massive physique, wore a black headscarf, had his upper body bare, draped in a large shawl, and wielded a large naginata.

Four Emperors!

The World's Strongest Man!

Edward Newgate, the strongest Paramecia -Paramecia Whitebeard Devil Fruit User the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!!

No, it's absolutely wrong to say that the Tremor-Tremor Fruit is the strongest Paramecia. Rather, it's Edward Newgate who is the strongest, which is why the Tremor-Tremor Fruit has been elevated to a level it shouldn't have.

Such a man standing there was like a towering pillar supporting the sky, possessing the imposing presence of someone who could single-handedly take on an army of thousands.

Whitebeard stood proudly at the bow of the ship, ignoring the 100,000 marines, the Three Admirals, and the Fleet Admiral, his eyes fixed on Ace on the execution platform as if he were looking at a rare treasure.

Once he confirmed that Ace was safe and sound, Whitebeard breathed a sigh of relief and looked up, laughing loudly, "Gurararara, my beloved son Ace, just bear with me a little longer, I'll take you home right away!"

Whitebeard's domineering presence swept across Marineford with his words, silencing the 100,000 marines. The Shichibukai and the Three Admirals all paled in comparison to him.

Garp and Sengoku, standing right next to the execution platform, were not suppressed. Their demeanor was equally powerful and profound, as firm and unyielding as they stood up to Whitebeard without flinching.

However, it must be said that, in terms of expressiveness, Whitebeard is stronger, more ferocious, and more attractive.

Through the Camera Den Den Mushi, Whitebeard's majestic figure spread throughout the four seas and both sides of the Grand Line, instantly creating a tremendous impact.

Shazo was naturally unaffected and unaffected, but he did not unleash his power or participate in the dispute between the two sides; he merely shielded his subordinates behind him.

He looked at the 666cm tall Whitebeard and exclaimed in amazement, "Whitebeard is truly unparalleled in his Haki!"

He then looked at the snail still filming. "Fleet Admiral Sengoku Guo and Vice Admiral Tsuru He are really something. They haven't even seen the dangers of a premiere broadcast, yet they dare to do a live broadcast to the whole world."

"If we can't kill Whitebeard today, it's like using the Navy's resources to advertise the Whitebeard Pirates all over the world."

"That's it."

"And they even used the entire navy's reputation."

"I'm worried. Should we change the plan and let Whitebeard die here?"

"I really want this old man to leave alive, but the Navy's advertising for him is too strong right now. The Whitebeard Pirates are bound to have a major breakthrough, and it might even change the Whitebeard Pirates."

"After all, Whitebeard is over 70 years old. Not only is he riddled with injuries, but he also drinks and eats meat recklessly. Who knows when he might suddenly die?"

"But I don't want the Whitebeard Pirates to be wiped out!"
