Whitebeard Pirates Mobilize!
The moment Blackbeard Teach was led to the Execution Platform.
The Sky Garden, which had been hovering high above the sea near Whole Cake Island for nearly a week, was stripped of its "Floating Power" by Golden Lion II and crashed down into the vast ocean below like a meteor.
Rumble--
The Sky Garden plunged into the sea, instantly creating a massive surge of waves, and the earth-shattering roar almost made the world lose its color.
This terrifying, boundless roar was also transmitted to every corner of the New World via the Den Den Mushi's live broadcast signal.
Within the nearby territory of Whole Cake Island, countless viewers watching the live stream raised questions.
"Blackbeard Teach has appeared!"
"But what's causing this roaring sound?"
"Could it be that the Whitebeard Pirates have arrived?"
Sky Garden, Execution Platform.
Storm stood quietly beside Blackbeard Teach.
As he was led to the Execution Platform and forced to kneel, Blackbeard Teach glanced at the man beside him out of the corner of his eye.
He was dressed in a dignified white suit, with a majestic white overcoat draped over his back.
If Blackbeard Teach hadn't known the true identity of the man beside him...
He thought the other person wasn't some Pirate Emperor, but the Fleet Admiral of the Marine Headquarters!
Even so.
Blackbeard Teach still felt that the white coat worn by the White Dragon Emperor looked very familiar.
How should I put it?
It's like a naval Justice Coat with the word "justice" erased from it!
Thinking about it that way, Blackbeard Teach felt that the White Dragon Emperor's attire was more like that of a Marine.
But how could that be?
"Hahaha!"
Blackbeard Teach was about to be executed, but there was no sign of panic on his face. Instead, he burst into maniacal laughter.
"White Dragon Emperor! What a grand display!"
"He's clearly just a Pirate Emperor, yet he dresses like a navy officer and wants to 'publicly execute' me!"
Are you really a pirate?
In the past, it was always the navy that executed pirates.
Blackbeard Teach may be the first Great Pirate to be publicly executed by his "pirate colleagues".
This is also why Blackbeard Teach is angry.
What kind of pirate acts like this?!
Even if you kill him, cut off his head, and send it to the Whitebeard Pirates...
That would be a million times better than being publicly executed in front of countless people like this today!
Blackbeard Teach is extremely volatile in temperament.
"Too noisy, Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach."
Storm slowly drew the [Alcohol Iron Ore Katana] from his waist and placed it firmly against Blackbeard Teach's neck.
"Although I set your Execution Time at noon."
"But if you want to commit suicide, I can send you on your way early."
"I think the Whitebeard Pirates would be more entertaining to me if I had your head to provoke them, right?"
Feeling the cold sensation travel from his neck to his brain, Blackbeard Teach cleanly and decisively shut his mouth.
With that kind of behavior, how could the White Dragon Emperor possibly be a Marine!?
If I had known it would turn out like this, I should have just killed the Sand Crocodile and left the New World!
Blackbeard Teach was filled with regret.
'Dad! Where are you? I miss you so much...'
Blackbeard Teach made up his mind.
As long as he survives this Execution Incident.
He will definitely obediently return to the Whitebeard Pirates, inherit all of his father's legacy, and stop dreaming of "starting his own business"!
Execution Platform.
Nami, seeing Storm suddenly draw his sword, couldn't help but complain in an attempt to ease her tension.
"The Captain really has always been this capricious in his actions!"
When Blackbeard Teach said those words.
Nami was utterly startled.
She still thought Blackbeard Teach really knew the Captain's true identity.
Unexpectedly, the Captain didn't play by the rules at all.
Robin stood beside Nami, holding a "little cutie" in her arms, and responded in a leisurely tone.
"I thought the Captain would take the opportunity to reveal his identity— the Pirate Emperor is also the Fleet Admiral... The Captain's ability to infiltrate is far superior to mine."
"You two, is this the time to be discussing these things?"
Perona straddled her clay bear Kumashi and grumbled at her two companions who seemed completely unfazed by the situation.
"We're about to face Whitebeard— "
Perona was only halfway through her sentence when a group of Mini Ghost she had sent out to "keep watch" suddenly relayed some reconnaissance information.
Ghost Princess suddenly turned her head to look at the sea, her little face extremely solemn.
"They're here!"
Almost at the same time.
Morgans, the Big News Bird in charge of broadcasting the execution live, sensed the change in atmosphere from the direction of the sea with its Observation Haki and quickly pointed the main live broadcast camera at the sea outside the Sky Garden.
"They're here!"
"They're here!"
"The Whitebeard Pirates are coming!"
Through Morgans' live broadcast footage.
Countless viewers of the live stream witnessed the strange changes that occurred on the high seas.
One after another, ships of menacing and terrifying shapes and bizarre appearances slowly emerged from the horizon, their huge masts and sails emblazoned with the flags and insignia of various pirate crews.
Ordinary viewers might not recognize the flags and insignia of these Great Pirate of the New World.
But Morgans, the "anchor" of the Big News Bird, knew these pirate ships and the pirate crews they represented like the back of his hand.
Look!
"Whitey Bay, the Ice Witch!"
"Ranger Knight Dorma!"
"Demon King Little Oars."
"The Great Vortex Spider, Squard!"
"Lei Qing McGuy!"
"... These are all affiliated pirate crews under the Whitebeard Pirates!"
Morgans passionately recounted the intelligence and information regarding the Whitebeard Pirates.
"The Captain of these pirate crews are all formidable figures who have made a name for themselves in the New World!"
Just like the giant vortex spider, Squard.
Before joining the Whitebeard Pirates, Osaka was an enemy of the Roger Pirates!
Unfortunately, Roger Pirates wiped out the pirate crew that Ozyzuma belonged to, and he was the only one who survived. He later joined the Whitebeard Pirates.
But no matter what.
The fact that the Giant Whirlpool Spider was able to escape with his life from the Roger Pirates shows his skill.
Morgans quickly gave a brief introduction to the affiliated pirate crews under the Whitebeard Pirates.
Soon, it focused its live stream camera on the enormous, whale-like super pirate warship that was surrounded by dozens of pirate crews.
"That's the Whitebeard Pirates' flagship— the Moby Dick!"
Morgans was so excited that even the feathers on his body seemed to stand on end.
"Whitebeard —he's here!!"
Under Storm's deliberate indulgence.
The Whitebeard Pirates and their dozens of affiliated pirate crews encountered no obstacles and sailed smoothly to the shore of the Sky Garden.
Over the past week.
For the sake of today's war, Storm made some modifications to the island structure of the Sky Garden.
Under his deliberate control, the overall terrain near the Execution Location was transformed to resemble Marineford, the Marine Headquarters —like a huge crescent-shaped harbor.
Without encountering any hindrance, many ships of the Whitebeard Grand Fleet rushed directly onto the land of the Sky Garden.
The lead Moby Dick, propelled by an incredibly powerful force, detached itself from the sea and flew like a soaring whale towards the area where the Execution Platform was located.
Morgans was horrified.
The vast majority of viewers who watched the execution live were also greatly shocked.
"The pirate ship is flying!"
"The Moby Dick is taking off!"
"Whitebeard flew down from the sky!"
Standing on the Execution Platform, Storm raised his head and looked at the Moby Dick flying in mid-air, his eyes narrowing slightly.
With his superior eyesight, he clearly saw the changes in the cabins of the Moby Dick.
The white hull, which should have been made of sturdy wood, was transformed by some inexplicable force into a hard, sparkling structure like a diamond.
'The Devil Fruit ability of Diamond Jozu, the third division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates?'
Storm's mind drifted to the general information about Diamond Jozu.
[Glitter-Glitter Fruit].
A Paramecia Devil Fruit that can transform the eater's body into an incredibly hard diamond.
In Storm's memory, Diamond Jozu did not seem to possess the ability to transform external matter into diamonds.
Modifying the external environment—that's an ability that belongs to [Awakening]!
However, considering Diamond Jozu's status and prestige within the Whitebeard Pirates...
As one of the "three executives" of the Whitebeard Pirates.
It doesn't seem like something unacceptable that Diamond Jozu developed his [Glitter-Glitter Fruit] to the [Awakening] level.
The changes to the hull of the Moby Dick went largely unnoticed.
The dazzling diamond-studded hull of the ship only flashed by in the air for a fleeting moment.
Boom!!
Amidst the deafening roar.
The Moby Dick crashed directly into the ground of the Sky Garden.
Thanks to the robustness of its diamond-cut hull, the Moby Dick remained completely undamaged.
At the same time.
The pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates who had landed at the Sky Garden from the shore also poured out of their respective pirate ships, forming a dense mass and swarming towards the Execution Platform.
A loud laugh, seemingly shaking the air and the earth, came from the Moby Dick.
Immediately afterwards.
A tall, imposing figure appeared on the deck of the Moby Dick.
Whether it was the Supreme Great Grade Swords Twelve Works [Murakumogiri] that shook the seas, or the white, curved beard that resembled a crescent moon, both testified to the man's identity.
The World's Strongest Man!
Whitebeard Edward, the Newgate!
"Gurala la la..."
Whitebeard stood on the deck of the Moby Dick, gazing at the Execution Platform opposite, a confident smile on his weathered, aged face.
"Teach, my beloved son, I'm here!"
Second update.
Goodnight everyone.
