The high platform above the Execution Platform, where the Five Elders reside.
They looked at the battlefield, now in its final stages of defeat, and smiled with satisfaction.
" With the Whitebeard Pirates destroyed, one less great enemy on the high seas."
Saint Saturn let out a long sigh of relief, all the unease he had felt for the past few months vanished.
The Whitebeard Pirates, numbering 50,000, along with Whitebeard himself, who was known as the World's Strongest Man, were wiped out.
For World Government, this was a resounding victory.
This is the most glorious victory since Roger ushered in the Great Pirate Era.
"Yes, for the past two months, we've been constantly suppressed by that damned Luo Wen, with one bad news after another," Saint Nusjuro sighed. "Now that we've gotten rid of Whitebeard, we can finally hold our heads high."
"The Whitebeard Pirates are dead, and Kaido's Beasts Pirates have been wiped out. The pirates' strength has been greatly weakened," Saint Mars said with a sinister smile. "Speaking of which, we should thank Luo Wen for helping us get rid of Kaido, allowing us to concentrate our forces to deal with him!"
"With two Four Emperors crews gone, we can free up our resources and the pressure isn't as great," Saint Peter said approvingly. "That Luo Wen was far too arrogant, making enemies of both us and the pirates. He was so cocky before; now it's time he learned his lesson."
"Hahaha, that's right!" Saint Mercury laughed heartily. "Our power is beyond his imagination. Even if he has that God-Slaying Spear, so what? We will be the victors!"
"How can he possibly win against the World Government's accumulated power over eight hundred years with just one generation?!"
Saint Saturn hadn't felt this good in months.
The pressure and fear brought by Luo Wen vanished when the Whitebeard Pirates were destroyed.
The five old men were talking animatedly, completely forgetting that they had been so frightened by Luo Wen that they had moved out overnight.
"Akainu did a great job. After Sengoku steps down, make him the Summit War Fleet Admiral as soon as possible."
Saint Nusjuro looked at Akainu, who was covered in blood, with great admiration.
Such a Bravery and fearless dog is the perfect choice for the Fleet Admiral.
"I second that. He's the only one in the Navy who's decent enough." Saint Saturn also highly praised Akainu: "His performance today has shown the whole world our might."
Daring to fight and charge forward whenever there is an enemy, that's the kind of Fleet Admiral they need.
Look at how the navy was managed during the Sengoku; everyone was a traitor.
"It's a pity," Saint Mercury said regretfully. "The five of us came out together, but Luo Wen was nowhere to be seen. If he had come today, he would have been killed."
"I think he's scared. Not everyone gets to go out with the five of us together," Saint Mars guessed.
"He's smart to be sensible, otherwise today would be the day his blood is spilled!"
Saturn snorted coldly.
Whitebeard is dead, and although the Navy has lost many members, its top fighting force remains intact.
With the Three Admirals plus Sengoku, and those five, they really didn't know how they could lose.
However, after Sengoku answered a Den Den Mushi (a Transponder Snail) below, his expression suddenly changed drastically.
"Godslayer Luo Wen, riding Azure Dragon, just slaughtered all the prisoners in Impel Down! Warden Magellan has defected with a large number of guards! Godslayer, he's now flying towards Marine Headquarters on his Azure Dragon!"
Sengoku's heart skipped a beat.
He never imagined that at this time, Luo Wen would do something so significant.
What was he trying to do by killing all the prisoners in Impel Down?
Sengoku couldn't understand Luo Wen's motives. Even if he hated evil, there was no need for him to waste his energy killing prisoners who were already powerless to resist.
What exactly is Luo Wen's purpose in doing this?
What puzzled him even more was why Magellan, who had always been honest and law-abiding, would surrender to Luo Wen so quickly.
However, there was no time for him to think about it anymore.
Now that Luo Wen has arrived riding Azure Dragon, the unprecedented lineup of the Marine Headquarters will finally meet its true adversary.
The Three Admirals and Five Elders weren't prepared for an old, Whitebeard.
Sengoku suddenly stood up and walked towards the Five Elders.
He walked up to the Five Elders and said in a deep voice, "Saint Saturn, Luo Wen has killed all the prisoners in Impel Down and will be arriving at Marine Headquarters soon."
"He really dares to come!?"
Saint Saturn slammed his fist on the table and said angrily.
He paid no attention to the prisoners in Impel Down; their main enemy now was Luo Wen, and those prisoners were not important.
"Doesn't he know we're all here?"
Saint Nusjuro was extremely surprised.
This time, they laid a massive and elaborate trap.
It's understandable that Whitebeard rushed in to save Ace, but what reason did Luo Wen have to join in the fun?
"Whatever his reason for coming, let him be buried here."
Saint Mercury said with a cold laugh.
"What good luck today! Just now, Whitebeard died, and now Luo Wen is coming to his death too!"
Saint Mars was full of confidence.
In his eyes, Luo Wen who dared to force their way into the Marine Headquarters at this moment was already a dead man.
"Sengoku, carry out the execution immediately! First, eliminate the evil bloodline of the King of the Pirates, then deal with this traitor Luo Wen!"
Saint Saturn suddenly looked at Sengoku and said in a deep voice, "Anyone who opposes the World Government, whether they are pirates or anything else, will only face death!"
"Yes, Saint Saturn."
During the Sengoku, they walked to the Execution Platform.
Standing on the Execution Platform, he gave the order in front of a live broadcast worldwide, "The time for judgment has come. Execute!"
"The sinful bloodline of the King of the Pirates will end here. The so-called One Piece is nothing but a delusion. Any pirate who dares to commit crimes will only meet death!"
The marines were deeply moved by this scene, and they stood tall with pride. So what if it was one of the Four Emperors? The evil bloodline would still be ended!
Garp watched this scene, his heart bleeding.
Ace is also his acknowledged grandson, and they even spent more time together than he did with Luffy.
Garp stared at Ace, his eyes bloodshot, unable to suppress the urge to rush forward.
"Vice Admiral Garp, calm down, Luffy is still with you."
Aokiji took Sengoku's place and hugged Garp tightly.
He also used the power of the Ice-Ice Fruit to cool Garp down.
Garp clenched his fists, his dark Haki swirling around them, but ultimately he didn't charge forward.
The pirates were filled with fear, and even the most arrogant and conceited Supernovas fell silent at this moment.
The death of Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors, at the Admiral severed the King of the Pirates's bloodline within the Navy. Roger and Whitebeard were practically the representatives of all pirates, and their tragic ends were a huge blow to all pirates.
Zephyr and Gion, far away in Dressrosa, couldn't help but marvel at the Navy's prestige reaching its peak at this moment. Although their strength on paper remained unchanged, if nothing else happened today, this Navy would be several times more difficult to deal with than before.
However, Luo Wen is in the past, and whether this grand gathering of World Government will ultimately bring joy or sorrow remains to be seen.
Under the watchful eyes of the world, each with their own thoughts, the executioner raised his blade and brought it down fiercely towards Ace's neck.
Bang!
A bullet flew from a distance, shattering the executioner's head, and his broadsword fell to the ground.
Sengoku looked in the direction the bullet had come from and saw a giant red ship approaching on the waves.
"The Red Force! It's the Red-Haired Pirates!"
Sengoku's face immediately darkened.
Unexpectedly, Red-Haired arrived before Luo Wen.
"Sengoku, give me some face and release Ace!"
Shanks stood at the bow of the ship, his powerful and domineering Conqueror's Haki radiating outwards.
Boom!
In an instant, dark purple Inazuma filled the sky.
Most of the remaining 70,000 elite troops in Marineford fell before this overwhelming and domineering Haki.
Even if they were at least lieutenant officers at headquarters or colonels at branch offices, in front of the world's most Haki man, they were all just ordinary people.
Is there any hope for Ace?
A glimmer of hope appeared in Garp's eyes.
Although he knew Shanks was no match for Marineford's current lineup, he couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope.
"Another Four Emperors!"
Pirates around the world were excited to see Shanks appear.
They've suffered too much frustration today, and they hope to see another representative of the pirates return to fight back.
"I won't give face to pirates." Sengoku said resolutely, his face solemn. "Execute them!"
"The Demon Hound!"
Akainu didn't even wait for Sengoku to finish speaking.
His right arm immediately unleashed a scorching stream of magma towards Ace.
Boom!
Ace's chest was pierced by lava, leaving a huge hole that allowed him to pass right through.
Under the spotlight.
Even with two of the Four Emperors coming to the rescue one after the other.
The last bloodline of the King of the Pirates was severed by the Navy.
