〜One Piece World〜
Everyone who saw this scene was absolutely stunned!
Kaido muttered,
"To think even the Seven Warlords are appearing here. It seems Sengoku really intends to make sure Whitebeard and his crew get a bitter end!"
The Big Mom Pirates—
Charlotte Linlin looked surprised. She hadn't expected this world to become so chaotic in the near future again.
Under normal circumstances, she quite liked this kind of chaotic situation, as it was a perfect opportunity for her pirate crew to expand their influence.
But this time was different. Once war broke out, no matter the outcome, the entire pirate world would likely be completely transformed.
Even the ordinary citizens across the world understood this, let alone her, one of the Four Emperors.
Inside Marineford—
Garp's brow was furrowed tightly…
He had watched Ace and Luffy grow up since they were children, caring for them as if they were his own.
The moment he saw Ace's capture, he immediately understood that although Luffy wasn't in the video, he would definitely rush out to save his brother!
Garp clenched his fists, making up his mind that he absolutely could not let this happen. He had to stop Ace!
On the other side, in a certain room.
A man wearing a yellow coat, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, stared at the developing situation on the screen. His eyes gradually narrowed as if he were calculating something!
"My, my! I didn't expect this to be so troublesome! Looks like I'll have to get involved, too. Why must Whitebeard make such a huge fuss over just one person? Just because you're old, does that mean you can just run wild? I'm not buying it"
In the Whitebeard Pirates—
Marco, the Phoenix, was looking at all this with a face full of shock. Although he felt excited about the upcoming war with the Marines, he hadn't expected even the Seven Warlords to be brought in.
"This is big trouble! Real trouble this time! But risking it for Ace is worth it. I just hope we can all make it back safely."
At this moment, Whitebeard had a solemn look on his face and said nothing.
He had long anticipated that this day would come, but he just hadn't expected it to be for the kid Ace!
He didn't care about the powerful lineup of the Marines before him. Only one question occupied his mind: How did they capture Ace?
On the other side,aboard the Going Merry—
"Wow! So these are the Seven Warlords!"
Although Luffy had fought a few of them before, this was the first time he felt their powerful aura from such a close distance!
Zoro's eyes flashed with desire. He couldn't wait to see the strength of these top experts and find out how far behind he still was!
Nami stared at the Empress on the screen. As a beautiful woman herself, she was deeply captivated by the Empress's unique charm!
"So mesmerizing! Truly worthy of being called the most beautiful woman in the world!"
She originally thought the boys around her would be drawn to this beautiful Empress, but she found that Luffy and Zoro didn't seem to care about her beauty at all, only focusing on how strong these people were!
On the contrary, Sanji, Usopp, and Chopper's eyes were about to pop out of their heads.

At this moment, the Akatsuki base was exceptionally quiet.
Staring at the people on the screen, everyone could feel the powerful force radiating from them.
For the members of Akatsuki, such a scene was rare. They all knit their brows, curious about just how strong these people's abilities were!
Deidara: "Are these the Seven Warlords of the Sea? These guys actually look pretty decent!"
Hidan: "Even though they look quite like normal humans, why are they all so strange? They don't look like modified humans either!"
Sasori: "The most normal one among them should be that Empress. But besides her good looks, her own power seems to be quite formidable as well!"
Kakuzu: "She has a giant python following her, which reminds me of that traitor Orochimaru. Both play with snakes, but how is the gap between Orochimaru and her?"
Itachi Uchiha said nothing.
But everyone felt his presence. He had already opened his Sharingan, clearly intending to watch this battle seriously.
They all looked at each other. Perhaps due to mutual appreciation among top experts, after the screen appeared, everyone naturally regarded these people as potential opponents, just like Itachi Uchiha did.

『 On the screen, Ace was about to reach the top of the dungeon. He could already see the outside light shining in at an angle, dividing the path ahead into bright and dark sections.
Ace paused slightly, then continued forward!
And that wasn't all!
Even after the Seven Warlords of the Sea made their appearance, the atmosphere on site remained extremely tense, as if something even bigger was about to happen!
With the continuous shouts of the Marines, a terrifying pressure enveloped the entire Marineford!
All of a sudden, both the Marines and the various factions went silent, staring with extreme alertness!
As for the Marines, they were looking from afar at the three seats right in the center.
Directly above the execution platform, right in the middle of the Marine forces, three men draped in coats walked straight toward the middle seats and sat down without ceremony.
There was no tension on their faces; instead, they looked extremely arrogant.
All at once, the hundred thousand Marine soldiers on site erupted into a frenzy.
They hadn't expected to see the three Marine Admirals here!
These three were the strongest individuals in the Marines!
With their presence, it was like having a solid foundation. The Marine soldiers were no longer afraid!
"It's really the Admirals!"
"All three Admirals are here!"
"No wonder it's so intimidating. Admirals are truly Admirals!"
"Even the Admirals have been deployed. Whitebeard definitely won't escape this time!"
The cheers of the Marine soldiers rose one after another!
The sound shook the heavens!…
The three sitting above were Kizaru, Akainu, and Aokiji.
Each had a different expression, especially Kizaru's nonchalant attitude, which made people really want to punch him! 』

Konoha—
The Hokage's Office…
"Such a powerful organization is actually afraid of pirates? It's really hard to believe..."
At this moment, a Daimyo sitting far from Hiruzen Sarutobi muttered to himself, a clear look of disdain on his face.
He felt that letting the Marines deal with these pirates was a complete waste of talent.
Faced with this opinion, Hiruzen Sarutobi and the Konoha elders chose to remain silent.
Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't want to offend these Daimyos either.
After all, this was about another world, and there was no practical point in arguing.
He merely smiled and said,
"My Lord may have some misunderstanding. I suspect there must be a reason for this situation over there. Perhaps those pirates are truly very powerful?"
Koharu Utatane said with a dark face,
"You're right, but I think if the pirates really can't withstand those three over there, then the entire Marines might be finished. It's not just those three; rather, the strength of those eight people is enough to deal with tens of thousands of Marines!"
In that world, the power of ordinary people is simply too insignificant!
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded gently and replied,
"Let's just wait and see how things unfold!"
—
『 A small boat appeared in the footage.
This boat wasn't actually small; compared to the people on board, it was quite massive.
But when compared to the giant gate ahead, the boat was like a toy model, and the people on board were as tiny as ants. 』
『 .....』
『 Viewers of Countless World 』
What on earth was that?
That structure had to be at least several thousand meters high!
And this was in the middle of the vast ocean!
No one expected such a colossal structure to rise from the sea, and everyone's face was filled with astonishment.
.....
『 On this small boat, a boy wearing a straw hat looked over the wall and immediately shouted with joy, "I see it!"
"Jinbe! I see it! The Gates of Justice are right ahead!"
Standing at the bow was a blue-skinned man who was looking forward with a serious expression. Hearing Luffy's voice, he replied, "Count us lucky. If we get a tailwind, we can reach it even faster!"
Although his appearance was somewhat strange, no one present dared to underestimate him. The powerful aura he radiated was truly fearsome, even if he didn't easily show it!
After Jinbe answered Luffy, he muttered to himself, "That being said, but…"
He recalled the warning issued by the Marines—"I advise you not to seek your own deaths. As long as the Gates of Justice remain closed, not only will you fail to reach Marineford, but you will also be trapped in the whirlpools ahead with no way out, risking your lives!"
Now that the challenge lay before them, Jinbe couldn't help but sigh and say, "It seems we have to find a way to break in!"
"Hey!" A red nose suddenly appeared in the frame, followed by a blue-haired man dressed as a clown entering the view.
"Brothers! What do you mean we're almost there?"
Standing on the deck below him were dozens of people, all wearing the same prisoner uniforms, looking as if they had just been released from prison.
Hearing his shout, everyone immediately yelled out in unison!
"That's when our Captain Buggy declares himself invincible to the world!"
"Exactly!"
"What can the Marines do? What does Whitebeard count for?"
"Who will become the king of the seas?"
"It is our great and invincible Captain Buggy!"
Buggy grinned from ear to ear with joy. His smug and arrogant appearance made Jinbe, who was standing aside, shake his head.
On the other side—
World Government - Marine Headquarters.
The handcuffed Ace finally walked out of the dungeon. But because this Marine base was so massive, he still had a long way to go, and a hint of displeasure couldn't help but appear on his face.
It was simply dissatisfaction with the distance being too far!
Urged by the two guards behind him, he walked toward the distant execution platform.
As he stepped onto the stairs leading to the execution platform, the people around began to grow tense.
They understood that this great war would only officially begin after his appearance!
And the moment Ace appeared, as reporters broadcast live to audiences all over the world, everyone gasped in unison—"Ace is here!"
The entire world was shaken by this news.
Not only the ordinary citizens, but even the Marine soldiers in the distance who saw Ace's appearance couldn't help but express their thoughts: "Is this guy the key figure who caused the Marines and pirates to clash, shocking the entire world?"
At this moment, Ace knelt on one knee on the platform, with two long swords crossed in front of him.
Below were over a hundred thousand Marine soldiers standing ready, and further away was the crescent-shaped coastline.
At this moment, no one could see the expression on Ace's face; they only saw his eyes lowered, looking as if he had no intention of resisting.
Not far away.
Sengoku and Garp were walking toward the execution platform.
Although Garp was extremely angry, he ultimately belonged to the Marine side.
Sengoku turned his head to look at Garp and asked, "Is it really okay? I'm going to tell everyone the whole truth."
Garp sighed and said helplessly, "Do as you please. I'm going to wait over by the spectator seats anyway."
Sengoku smiled slightly.
Compared to those fearsome Admirals, Sengoku gave off a relatively approachable feeling.
After stepping onto the platform, he instructed the two guards holding swords and watching Ace, "You two, step back!"
Hearing the Fleet Admiral's order, the two quickly stepped aside.
The crowd below said in surprise, "I didn't expect to see Fleet Admiral Sengoku here!"
Next, Sengoku had someone bring over a Den Den Mushi, walked to Ace's side, and announced loudly, "I have an important matter to tell everyone!"
Instantly, the Marine soldiers who were busy stopped what they were doing and turned their gazes here, while the onlookers were also filled with curiosity.
"What I want to say is about this man—Ace. His death holds extraordinary significance for us!"
"Ace, tell us, what is your father's name?"
Ace finally had a bit of a reaction.
His dull eyes glanced at Sengoku beside him, staring for quite a while.
Then he spoke, "My father is Whitebeard!"
But Sengoku shook his head, "Wrong!"
The Marines below instantly erupted into a clamor, everyone discussing among themselves. What did Sengoku mean by this?
Everyone knew that Ace was Whitebeard's son!
Ace's previously calm face could no longer be maintained. He gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "That's right! I only have one father, and that is Whitebeard!"
"At that time, we searched everywhere for the whereabouts of that man's child, and found some clues on an island. We even investigated the child's mother."
"Only then did we find out that this entire matter was a scheme! A moving scheme of profound maternal love!"
Even the usually iron-hearted Marine Admirals showed expressions of pity on their faces!
What was going on?
The Marine soldiers below the platform also looked puzzled.
Who was speaking?
He was the Marine leader who never showed emotion. Why did he have such an expression today?
Just as everyone was wondering, Sengoku said, "This scheme blinded our eyes. No, the entire world was deceived by it!"
"On a remote island, your mother was named Portgas D. Rouge."
Hearing this name, Ace's face showed some emotion.
His body trembled slightly.
At this moment, all the Marine officers and soldiers fell silent, listening to Sengoku's speech. They were not only surprised but also very confused—after all, everyone has a mother; what was so special about that?
"She was a great woman!" Sengoku sighed, "I don't want to disparage her because of your birth. To keep you alive safely, what she did went beyond human understanding!"
"Relying on her deep love for her unborn child, she held you in her womb for a full 20 months!"
Ace's facial muscles twitched, clearly unwilling to let Sengoku continue.
But he didn't speak to stop him, because there was no longer any need to hide all of this.
Twenty months!
At this moment, no one held any prejudice against this mother; there was only immense respect!
"Then, after giving birth to you, this great mother used up all her strength and passed away!"
"One year and three months after the father's death, the child who inherited the world's strongest bloodline was born."
The strongest bloodline!
Everyone present was stunned!
Whether inside or outside the screen, everyone at that moment was extremely curious about the identity of the father.
"That child is you!"
Sengoku said slowly, "Perhaps you yourself are not very clear on this, but your father's name is— The Pirate King! Gol D. Roger!"
In an instant.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The Pirate King! Roger!
This name was known to everyone throughout the world! 』
