Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
The atmosphere in the marshal's office was so depressing that it felt like the air was freezing.
"Bang!!!"
Navy Marshal Sengoku slapped the desk angrily, causing the documents and senbei pieces on the desk to fall to the floor.
"Borsalino! Say it again?!"
Sengoku stared at Kizaru who was sitting on the sofa and drinking hot tea leisurely, and his roar almost broke the roof:
"As one of the three most powerful generals in the navy! Go to Sabaody Archipelago to deal with the incident where Celestial Dragons was beaten.
As a result, not only was the orange-haired kid not even able to catch a single hair on his head, but he was stabbed with a knife?! He even fled back to the headquarters because he was afraid of the Six Paths beam of light that would appear later?"
"Oh, Marshal Sengoku, you can't speak so harshly."
Kizaru curled his lips in grievance. "I don't call that an escape, that's called a strategic retreat to preserve your strength. You have no idea how terrible the situation was at that time~"
Kizaru Recalling the Six Paths light pillars in the sky that tore apart the space, and the unfathomable auras that were sensed by Shiwen Sebaqi like black holes in the universe, I couldn't help but shudder:
"That orange-haired kid, physical attacks and domineering power are completely ineffective against him. He is simply a living ghost!"
"And... those who came later, if you pick any of them, their aura is no less than that of Whitebeard! If I don't run away, you will have to hold a memorial service for me at Marineford today~"
"Total nonsense!!!"
Admiral Akainu, who was sitting on the other side, stood up angrily, with extreme coldness and murderous intent in his eyes:
"The great admiral was frightened by a few unknown people who appeared out of nowhere! This is a blasphemy against "Absolute Justice"!"
"Marshal Sengoku! I suspect that these monsters are simply the top powerhouses from different seas that Whitebeard secretly recruited for the public execution in a few days!" Akainu said through gritted teeth,
"They fought Celestial Dragons and repulsed Kizaru at Sabaody Archipelago just to suppress the morale of our navy before execution!"
After hearing Akainu's analysis, Sengoku's brows furrowed into the character "Chuan".
"There are only three days left before Fire Fist Ace's public execution..." Sengoku rubbed his temples with a headache,
"To deal with Whitebeard Pirates and its forty-three affiliated pirate ships, we already need to use all the strength of our headquarters and Seven Warlords of the Sea."
"Now, six unknown monsters suddenly appeared with the strength of a general or even beyond the general level..."
Sengoku glanced at Akainu and said solemnly, "Sakazuki, for the sake of safety, I propose to apply to World Government to postpone Fire Fist Ace's execution, or to change the execution to be carried out secretly..."
"Absolutely not!!!"
Before Sengoku could finish speaking, Akainu interrupted him forcefully. The lava dripped on the wooden floor and made a harsh "chichi" sound:
"Fire Fist Ace is the bloodline of Pirate King Roger! This is the best opportunity for World Government to show the world the absolute authority of the Navy!
If public executions are canceled because of a few assassins hiding in the dark, the navy will be disgraced in front of civilians around the world! The majesty of justice will be gone!"
"No matter if they are allies of Whitebeard or monsters! As long as they dare to come to Marineford! I will burn them all to ashes with lava!!!"
Seeing Akainu's extreme attitude, Sengoku sighed deeply. He knew that Five Elders on World Government's side would never allow the execution to be cancelled.
The arrow is on the string and must be fired.
"Send my orders!"
Sengoku stood up suddenly. "Marineford has entered a special state of combat readiness! Recall all generals who are on missions abroad! Inform Seven Warlords of the Sea to be in position immediately! At the same time, send me the bounty warrant for Sabaody Archipelago!"
"Even if the sky falls, the execution in three days must be carried out on time!"
While Marine Headquarters was in dire straits.
This shocking news swept the entire One Piece World in less than half a day!
Two hours ago, the big boss of Newsbird - "Big News" Morgans, received an extremely mysterious encrypted email.
The sender of this email has no address, but the attachment of the email contains dozens of photos taken from multiple angles of "the orange-haired boy in black slashing the admiral Kizaru with a sword!" There is even a shocking panoramic view of the cross-border beam of light arriving at Six Paths!
Early next morning.
Newsbirds all over the world sprinkled a newspaper with a shocking headline on Four Seas and Grand Line!
[Shocking the world! Celestial Dragons bloody shampoo! The navy's most powerful general Kizaru was defeated by a mysterious young man in black!!!]
[Six Paths The sky-reaching light pillar is coming! The unknown force that surpasses the Four Emperors? World Government is facing the biggest crisis in history!!!]
New World, Moby Dick.
"Dad! Big News is out!!!"
Captain Marco grabbed the newspaper in his hand and rushed to the deck in shock.
In the middle of the deck, "The World's Strongest Man" Whitebeard Edward Newgate, who was covered in IV tubes, took the newspaper and glanced at it.
"Gula la la la la!!!"
Whitebeard suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed boldly, causing the whole ship to shake. "What a terrible little devil! Did even that yellow-haired monkey suffer a big loss in their hands?!"
"Dad, such a powerful unknown force suddenly appeared at this time... are they also coming for Ace?" Marco frowned worriedly.
"Whoever they are."
Whitebeard slammed the naginata in his hand on the deck, and Conqueror's Haki exploded with absolute domineering look in his eyes:
"Anyone who dares to stand in the way of saving my son will be smashed by me! Get ready to set sail! Target - Marineford!"
Sabaody Archipelago, Grove 13, Shakky's Rip-off Bar.
The atmosphere in the bar at this time was depressing.
Because of the chaos outside where general Kizaru was repulsed, Straw Hat Crew and the rescued slaves Camie, Hachi and others are hiding here at the moment.
In front of the bar, there was also a legendary figure with white hair and glasses - "Pluto" Rayleigh.
"Hey, Uncle Rayleigh, the situation outside is completely chaotic."
Sanji was smoking a cigarette, looking at the latest newspaper he had just bought, and frowning:
"The newspaper said that a few mysterious people not only beat up Celestial Dragons, but also chopped off Admiral Kizaru with a knife! Now there are all the naval fleets outside preparing to blockade the archipelago!"
"I feel it too." Rayleigh took a sip of wine, with a rare solemn look in his eyes, "Those sudden breaths are simply not like creatures in this world. This era... is really getting crazier."
Just then.
Luffy, who had been holding the newspaper and chewing meat next to him, suddenly seemed to be struck by lightning, and his whole body began to tremble violently.
The piece of bone and meat in his hand fell to the ground with a "clack".
"Luffy? What's wrong with you?" Zoro noticed something was wrong with his captain and immediately put his hand on the handle of the knife.
"Ace..."
Luffy stared at a page with bold red letters in the corner of the newspaper. His eyes turned red instantly, and his voice was filled with strong panic and anxiety:
"Everyone! Ace...Ace He was caught by the navy! The newspaper said that he will be publicly executed at Marineford in three days!!!"
"What?!" Straw Hat Crew members all came together in shock.
"It's really Fire Fist Ace!" Nami covered his mouth, "Luffy, that's your..."
"It's my brother!"
