The Grand Line, Banaro Island.
This is an island located near the middle of the first half of the Grand Line, and at this moment, an earth-shattering battle is taking place on this island.
boom!!
Blazing golden flames shot into the sky, sweeping in all directions, as if to burn the entire island to ashes.
call!!
The pitch-black, towering fog spread out like a curtain on the horizon, seemingly blocking half the sky and turning half of it black.
" Ace, it would be such a waste for you to die here. Join us."
Blackbeard Teach, shrouded in black mist, was gazing at Fire Fist Ace, who was radiating intense flames, on the other side.
The Whitebeard Pirates encountered the Dark-Dark Fruit again, but with a slight difference: the person who obtained Dark-Dark Fruit was not Thatch, the fourth division commander, but an ordinary member of the second division.
However, for Blackbeard, he would kill anyone, whether they were a captain or an ordinary person, for the sake of the Dark-Dark Fruit. So he killed his comrade, stole the Dark-Dark Fruit, and fled.
Besides this, another difference is that it's not just Ace's out searching for Blackbeard; Marco, the first division commander, and Diamond Jozu, the third division commander, are also looking for Blackbeard.
The three sometimes traveled together, and sometimes they separated.
This time, it happened during a period of separation when Ace encountered Blackbeard. Ace had a chance to contact Marco and Jozu, but if he had done so, he wouldn't be Fire Fist Ace.
Therefore, the final situation he found himself in was his final showdown with Blackbeard.
"I will not let my life be stained in any way here."
Ace accepted Blackbeard's final offer without the slightest hesitation, his eyes burning with resolute determination.
Seeing this, Blackbeard finally gave up on recruiting Ace, knowing that Ace was no longer possible.
"What a pity, Ace, may you perish in the darkness!"
boom!!!
Darkness and flames collided with a deafening roar.
The Age of Gods, the end of Year One.
Fire Fist Ace encountered Blackbeard Teach on Banaro Island and was defeated in the first battle.
Blackbeard Teach's delivery of Ace to Marine Headquarters sent shockwaves through the Navy's high command.
"What on earth is that bastard Blackbeard Teach trying to do?!"
Fleet Admiral Sengoku, his slightly aged face showing a hint of headache, slammed his hand hard on the table.
"Although he offered this in exchange for the position of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, his true purpose was probably not that; he is now Seven Warlords of the Sea in name only."
Chief of Staff He sat there, watching Sengoku slam his fist on the table, his face calm, and gently picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.
The Seven Warlords of the Sea system was proposed by Sengoku and implemented by the former World Government.
Since Uya destroyed the former World Government, the system has effectively become defunct. Although more than a hundred countries established a new World Government with the support of Fleet Admiral Sengoku, the new World Government's power is far inferior to that of the former World Government.
If the Seven Warlords of the Sea used to give the World Government some face, now it's a matter of everyone going their own way.
The current World Government is focused solely on suppressing the increasingly fierce offensive of the Revolutionary Army and has no time to attend to matters at sea. Maritime affairs are now entirely decided by Sengoku alone.
Three choices.
"First, release Ace; second, secretly execute Ace; third, publicly execute Ace."
After taking a sip of tea, Chief of Staff He put down his teacup, stood up, and finally his expression turned serious as he spoke solemnly.
Releasing Ace would be tantamount to showing weakness to Whitebeard and temporarily avoiding provoking Whitebeard, a suggestion that Sengoku almost immediately rejected.
The secret execution of Ace was a way to avoid a direct confrontation with Whitebeard.
If Ace were dead, Whitebeard would have no reason to attack Marine Headquarters, since the person responsible for Ace's death was Blackbeard Teach, and the one to be held accountable should be Blackbeard.
Even so, it's impossible for Whitebeard to be completely without hostility towards the Navy. Even if he doesn't engage in direct combat, he will at least retaliate by eliminating a few Navy strongholds.
As for the third point, a public execution, that meant going head-to-head with Whitebeard for a full-blown battle.
Damn it!
Sengoku, who had directly rejected the first point, clenched his fist and slammed it on the table, then a fierce and decisive glint flashed in his eyes.
"If we're going to do it, let's do it thoroughly!"
"The Age of Gods... should be called the most chaotic age! If things continue like this, the whole world will fall sooner or later. Now, only our navy can stand up and stabilize the hearts and minds of people in this era!"
Sengoku raised his head, his face showing a resolute and determined expression.
Have you made up your mind?
Upon hearing Sengoku's words, Chief of Staff Tsuru also became very serious, his expression turning completely solemn.
Sengoku took a deep breath and nodded, saying, "No matter the cost, we must do it!"
"Then, issue the order... publicly execute Fire Fist Ace at Marine Headquarters!"
After Sengoku announced the time and place of Ace's public execution with a resolute expression, a sound of the floor cracking suddenly came from outside the door.
There was a person standing outside the door. He didn't push the Gate of Opening again, but turned around and left. His back looked as if he had suddenly aged several years.
The world of Uya.
This world was created by Uya. It is not a planet, but a continent, about one-fifth the size of the world in Pirate King.
This is also the limit that Uya's current power can create and withstand.
The sea and land each account for roughly half of the area. There is little life on the land, only a large number of plants and exotic flowers and herbs.
At the very center of the entire world lies a meadow radiating an eerie glow. This is a place that Uya has specially designated, and only he himself, or those with his permission, can enter.
In the sky, there are floating Sky Island, each about one-third the size of the Sky Island in this world, just the right size.
It's not exactly small, but it's actually quite large. At least none of the Sky Island inhabitants realized they were no longer in the world of Pirate King, and the area below them was no longer the Blue Sea of Pirate King.
Besides that, there's Fish-Man Island.
Fish-Man Island was placed directly on a beach in the shallow sea by Uya, instead of being placed on the seabed. If Fish-Man Island were on the surface of the sea in the Pirate King world, it would be quite a spectacle, but in his world, there was no problem at all.
"Well, that's about it for now."
Uya was currently suspended in the sky, looking at the design of the world below as if examining a map, while Kuina and Ain stood beside him.
After the initial shock, nothing seemed surprising anymore.
Speaking of which, seeing how a world is constructed from the perspective of a deity is truly a wondrous experience.
If it weren't for Uya, they probably would never have experienced this feeling in their entire lives.
"I didn't expect it would take so long to settle Fish-Man Island..." Ain stretched and couldn't help but smack his lips.
Sky Island can be moved silently, and Sky Island inhabitants generally don't go to other Sky Island. However, Fish-Man Island is located underwater, Uya wants to place it in shallow water, which is obviously different.
In a way, Uya's actions could indeed be considered mermaid capture, except that he wasn't a slave trader, but rather he captured all the mermaids and the entire Fish-Man Island at once.
Neptune did not refuse, nor did he have any room to refuse.
However, Shirahoshi, the mermaid princess, strongly agreed with Uya's idea of placing Fish-Man Island in the shallow sea. Compared to the deep sea, she actually preferred the shallow sea.
"It took a little longer, but it's quite beautiful, isn't it?" Uya was quite satisfied with the effect of placing Fish-Man Island in the shallow sea.
Except for one thing, all the bubbles that were originally there are gone.
"About Bubbles..."
Looking down at the world below, Uya fell into deep thought.
As for bubbles, Uya could create a plant specifically for making bubbles, or even directly construct a set of rules for the world.
However, that would be very troublesome. The Pirate King world has the Yarukiman Mangrove, which is located in the Sabaody Archipelago. We can just take it directly.
Uya really hates trouble.
So from the very beginning, Uya had already decided to bring the Yarukiman Mangrove from the Sabaody Archipelago as well, which was the last thing Uya wanted to do.
Sabaody Archipelago.
In the age of gods, the chaotic seas are still teeming with countless pirates.
Despite the fact that the first and second halves of the islands have been connected, Sabaody Archipelago remains a place where all pirates gather, and is another starting island corresponding to Loguetown.
Here, eleven Supernova with bounties exceeding 100 million, who conquered the first half of the Grand Line, are gathering.
The first wave of the new era, after countless undercurrents, is finally about to erupt in a ferocious display. Mobile users, please visit m. com for a better reading experience.
