Execution: Gol D. Ace!

At dawn, a faint glimmer of light appeared on the distant horizon.

With the chains rattling, Ace was escorted to the execution platform by naval executioners.

Sengoku's expression was solemn. Having anticipated this, he naturally wouldn't place Ace in a conspicuous place. The so-called Impel Down was merely a bait laid out in the open.

"You have a younger brother who loves you, and he actually chose to break into the Impel Down for you."

Ace's pupils contracted, then he raised his head and revealed a confident smile.

"My brother has always been lucky; Luffy won't die in Impel Down!"

Sengoku snorted coldly at this and looked at Garp beside him.

"Once the execution begins, I will expose this matter to the world. If you cannot accept it, leave here. No one will blame you."

"No, no need, this is fine..."

Garp spoke slowly, his voice becoming somewhat hoarse at some point.

Seeing this, Sengoku said no more, picked up the Den Den Mushi, and issued commands to various parts of the world.

"All Marines, immediately set up relay Den Den Mushi! I want the whole world to know that the chaotic era of the Great Pirates will end today!"

In the central square of the Sabaody Archipelago, naval personnel hurriedly set up broadcast screens, causing early risers to put down their work.

"What is the Navy going to broadcast?"

"I don't know, but it must be something very important for naval soldiers to set up a broadcast screen!"

"Tch, what good could these Celestial Dragons ' lackeys possibly do?"

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, but the navy group hurried on, continuing their advance toward the surrounding islands.

The first half of the Grand Line Paradise, and the territories of the Four Emperors in the New World are filled with various forces operating in the shadows, connected to the broadcast frequencies announced by the Navy.

Paradise, the Alabasta Kingdom.

In the capital's square, facing the navy's actions, Neferutari Cobra frowned, momentarily confused about the White Sea's intentions.

On Jaya Island, a screen filled with static appeared, leaving the island's inhabitants and the Jaya pirates completely baffled.

This scene is playing out continuously in the realms of Paradise and New World, with countless broadcast screens gathering the impoverished people, who have few means of entertainment, in front of the screens.

Time ticked by, and as the sun rose higher and it approached nine in the morning, the screen, which had been covered in gray-white static, finally revealed the true image of the broadcast.

"Hey, wait a minute, aren't those Marine Giant Race admirals?!"

"So many Marine Vice Admiral, even Vice Admiral Momonga, the G-1 Branch Commander, is here! Who... who are those people?!"

The next moment, to the astonishment of countless people, pirates, and bounty hunters watching the broadcast through video Den Den Mushi, figures entered Marineford and sat down in front of three stone chairs to highlight their identities.

"Marine Admiral Candidate! Fujitora... for life!"

"That guy, it's said, is Admiral Candidate who hasn't eaten for a whole year, Ryokugyu Ryokugyu!"

"What a beautiful, tall woman. Is she also Admiral Candidate?"

After the four Admiral Candidate took their seats, countless naval officers and soldiers lined up in formation, forming a vast, imposing crowd that made the hearts of all the pirates who witnessed it skip a beat.

"Wow, so many people! How many navy troops have they deployed? What are they trying to do?"

"It's hard to say. Just from what we've seen, there must be at least seventy or eighty thousand. With four Admiral Candidate all out in force, they're probably going to do something earth-shattering."

"That... that is it!"

With a gasp, everyone turned to look at the screen, where figures wearing cloaks of justice, with sleeves of distinctly different colors, sat atop a large group of marines.

"Marine Admiral Sakazuki! A naval monster who has been famous for decades, one of the Three Admirals of the Navy, nicknamed Akainu, possessing the power of a volcanic eruption and the heat of lava!"

"Marine Admiral Kuzan rose to fame slightly later than the other two Marine Admiral, but his strength was incomparably formidable. He possessed the freezing ability to freeze all living beings, and his nickname Aokiji..."

"Hey, hey, hey, even Borsalino is here? This guy is Marine Admiral known as Kizaru, a terrifying figure who is said to possess the speed and strength of light. What exactly does the Marines want?"

"Who knows, why gather so many troops at Marine Headquarters? Are they trying to guard against one of the Four Emperors?"

Just as the crowd was buzzing with discussion and all the common people were anxious, Sengoku appeared on camera and slowly ascended the execution platform under the admiring gaze of the entire navy.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku the Buddha! Gods, what exactly does the Navy want to do? That... that's... Fire Fist Ace?!"

On a remote island, a pirate ship sailed alone on the ocean for a month without any communication with the outside world, much to the horror of the pirates.

"Hey! Have the Navy and the World Government gone mad? They actually want to execute Whitebeard's son? Do they want to destroy the world?!"

Seeing that there was no movement from the outer sea, Sengoku coughed twice, glanced at everyone, and lingered on Garp for a long time before slowly speaking.

"Whitebeard Second Division Commander, Portgas D. Ace, tell me, who is your father?"

In an instant, Ace gave a cold glance and revealed a calm smile.

"I only have one father, and that is Whitebeard Newgate, the Edward!"

"Wrong!"

The outburst from Sengoku shocked not only the navy but also the vice admirals, not to mention the people waiting in front of their screens for the broadcast.

"Your name is Gold Ace! Your mother is Portgas D. Rouge, and it was decided that you would inherit your mother's surname in order to conceal your relationship with him!"

"You have the most evil bloodline in this world, the sinful son who created the Great Pirate Era. Your father is Gol D. Roger!"

The sound was like a great bell, resounding throughout the world, leaving everyone gathered in front of the screen utterly astonished.

"Brother... Gold Roger! The son of the Pirate King, still alive in this world?"

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!!! You son of chaos, how much suffering have you caused us, how many families have been torn apart! Kill him!!!"

"Roger has a son? That's... shocking."

At Shakky's Rip-off Bar, a drunken Rayleigh wakes up from his stupor and listens intently to the broadcast.

"Honey, aren't you going?"

"Newgate won't abandon his son; he'll appear at the most unpredictable moment, but the Navy is prepared..."

"I am a guide of the old era, not a part of the new era. People have to accept getting old eventually."

Muttering to himself, Rayleigh, in a daze, vaguely recalled the smile Roger had given when he disembarked.

"Will he be your successor, Roger...?"
