The next day, Luo Wen rode the Azure Dragon back to Dressrosa.
Before leaving, he also took all his women, as well as some high-value prisoners.
Such as Wildfire Blaze, Queen Plague, and the Flying Six.
It's worth mentioning that Caesar Clown, whom he sold to the Gild Tesoro and then had stolen by Kaido, has returned to his hands once again.
He had no intention of selling Caesar again; after all, those who could afford him had already been fooled once and wouldn't be taken advantage of a second time.
Lock Caesar Clown and Plague Queen in a small dark room and make them research new weapons for the Neo Marines to replace those damned matchlock guns.
In Wano Country, only three elite Vice Admiral remained: Hōshō, Momonga, Doberman, along with Moria, who was in charge of nearly 100,000 prisoners.
With them around in Wano Country, that should be enough.
After returning from the Marineford War, he had Nojiko use the power of the Float-Float Fruit to move Wano Country to Dressrosa.
At that time, everything was considered foolproof.
After spending a day in Dressrosa and taking care of some matters, Luo Wen rode the Azure Dragon toward Marine Headquarters.
Marineford, Marine Headquarters.
The solemn and imposing Marine Headquarters building stood there, with the word "Navy" fluttering in the air above the flag.
Directly in front of the Navy Building lies the vast Oris Plaza.
One hundred thousand elite troops stood in the square where the Execution Platform of the Marine Headquarters was located, wearing cloaks inscribed with the words of justice, each one full of spirit.
They were not ordinary marines, but rather officers of the headquarters and officers of the branch.
There were as many as 100,000 such elite officers.
On the platform in front of the Execution Platform was the seat of Fleet Admiral Sengoku, and a little further ahead sat the Three Admirals Aokiji, Kizaru, and Akainu.
Even though Aokiji and Kizaru are usually lazy, they have to become serious in this situation.
Akainu exuded an aura of authority, his sharp, eagle-like eyes constantly scanning the military formation below.
A little above the Execution Platform, the Five Elders, who rarely appeared in public before, suddenly appeared together, looking down at everything with arrogance and disdain.
In addition to the arrangements on land at the Marine Headquarters, there are dozens of massive warships encircling the sea around the Marine Headquarters.
The entire Marine Headquarters is now completely under a tight net.
Never before has an execution been carried out with such grandeur.
Even the death of the King of the Pirates 20 years ago pales in comparison to what's happening now.
Among the 100,000 officers, many were whispering and discussing the situation.
They were not ordinary low-ranking soldiers, but naval officers with the lowest rank of lieutenant, and were not as obedient to discipline as ordinary soldiers.
They gathered together in Oris Plaza and began to whisper among themselves.
"Today is the execution day."
Do you think Whitebeard and the others will come?
"Of course we will! It's precisely because of Whitebeard that we've come here with such a grand display!"
"For Whitebeard? Whitebeard alone isn't worth such a big show."
"The Five Elders have all arrived, Three Admirals have all been recalled. That's because they are wary of the arrival of that Godslayer."
"After all, compared to the fading Whitebeard, the Godslayer defeated Kaido in a single day is far more threatening!"
"Yeah, that guy is too strong. Not only is he ridiculously strong himself, but he also has that Neo Marines..."
"Shh~, be careful!"
As they spoke, some of the sailors couldn't help but reveal complex expressions, a mixture of fear and longing.
The Godslayer's reputation was at its zenith, and his Neo Marines was also powerful and well-equipped.
It is not only a feared adversary for naval personnel, but also another job they can switch to.
Above the stands, Akainu noticed the commotion below and immediately frowned.
"Quiet down, everyone. The priority is to execute the King of the Pirates's bloodline."
Akainu addressed the crowd below in a serious tone.
Suddenly, the entire Oris Plaza fell silent, and all the naval personnel stopped their various activities.
Sengoku, who was sitting in the Fleet Admiral's chair and should have been speaking, remained expressionless, while Akainu, sitting next to Aokiji, looked rather grim.
The Five Elders, who were further up, nodded with satisfaction upon seeing Akainu's dutiful demeanor.
Time passed slowly, and the day of the actual execution was drawing near.
As Ace, the protagonist of the execution ground, was escorted to the Execution Platform in heavy shackles.
Immediately, more than a dozen Visual Transponder Snail were aimed at Ace, who was forced to kneel, and captured his disheveled appearance.
In addition to these Den Den Visual Transponder Snail facing Ace, there were also groups facing Sengoku, Garp, the Three Admirals, and a dozen or so vice Marine Vice Admiral.
The 100,000 naval officers standing in the square and the dozens of elite warships on the sea also got some screen time.
The Shichibukai, Hawkeye Mihawk and Tyrant Kuma, who stood quietly, were also given a close-up shot.
Blackbeard, who delivered Ace to the World Government, has now disappeared without a trace...
All the photographed images were projected onto the world by special Visual Transponder Snail).
The Sabaody Archipelago, the East Blue, the West Blue, the South Blue, the North Blue... wherever there is a signal, you can watch the live broadcast of the execution of the King of the Pirates's bloodline.
Even pirate crews along the Grand Line can watch this unencrypted live stream by tuning their Visual Transponder Snail to the right frequency.
Because this is a show of force by the World Government to all its enemies, and they would love for as many people as possible to see it.
The sheer number of elite naval forces, a massive and imposing force of 100,000, and the overwhelming aura and formidable presence of the top combat units.
These images showcased the navy's most powerful side to the world.
Everyone who witnessed this scene was deeply shocked.
The World Government is still the same World Government that has ruled the world for eight hundred years, having shed its pathetic image from the previous few months.
Seeing that the Visual Transponder Snail had been set up in all directions, Sengoku got up from his Fleet Admiral's chair and slowly walked to Ace.
"Portgas D. Ace, the sinful bloodline of the King of the Pirates Roger. Twenty years ago, when the King of the Pirates Roger was executed, he uttered the colossal lie of One Piece, bringing immense turmoil to the world."
"His wicked lineage is also that of a vicious pirate. Therefore, today the Navy will surely end this wicked bloodline here. No matter who comes here, whether it's Whitebeard or anyone else, they cannot change the fate of evil's demise."
"All evil will be brought to justice, and the Great Pirate Era, filled with lies and sin, will end from this moment on!"
Sengoku stood Execution Platform, solemnly swearing an oath in front of numerous Visual Transponder Snail).
A deep, resonant voice boomed from the loudspeaker, echoing across the vast square.
"Oh! Oh! Oh!"
The Giant Vice Admiral pounded his chest and let out a high-pitched, excited battle roar.
He cheered for the navy's great feat, and he shouted for the end of evil.
"Long live the Navy!"
"Long live the Navy!"
"Long live the World Government!"
"Long live the World Government!"
The navy present erupted in cheers, shouting wildly and venting their inner passion.
At this moment, the shame of a pirate joining the Shichibukai was washed away.
At this moment, the long-standing shadow cast by Godslayer Luo Wen was dispelled.
At that moment, the Navy forgot the World Government's brutality and the Celestial Dragons' stupidity and ugliness.
They cheered for the World Government, they cheered for the end of the evil bloodline.
Pirates all over the world who witnessed this scene were all left with a lingering sense of dread.
They were hoping something would happen to suppress the navy's smugness.
"Gurara! You think you can kill my son so easily?"
A loud, triumphant shout rang out.
Next, forty-three enormous pirate ships leaped out of the sea.
The Whitebeard Pirates have arrived!
