One Piece: Fist of the World.

Chapter 268: Coming to War

As the news of Straw Hat Luffy's execution spread throughout the world, the sea, which had been calm for a long time, gradually began to become turbulent.

"Straw Hat Luffy? Who is that?"

"He looks like a pirate."

"Never heard of it."

When most people first heard the news, they were confused.

To them, Roger is the Pirate King, the villain who started this great pirate era.

Whitebeard is a legend living in the present, a legendary figure who has been famous for many years and can make children stop crying.

Kaido the Beast is an extremely vicious thug who frequently goes on expeditions.

Red-haired Shanks is a rising star and the rapidly rising Pirate Emperor.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea are also all very powerful figures.

As for Straw Hat Boy Luffy? He's just a supernova.

For those who don't pay much attention to information about pirates, they have never even heard of it.

"I heard that this Straw Hat Boy is the younger brother of the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' second division."

"Whitebeard Pirates!?"

"Does the Navy intend to go to war with the Whitebeard Pirates?"

As time passed, more information was "accidentally" spread, sparking another round of heated discussions.

Straw Hat Luffy and the others don’t care, but no one dares to ignore Whitebeard’s reputation.

"I heard that this Straw Hat Boy is the son of Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army!"

"Revolutionary Army!?"

Two days later, new news came out, sparking another heated discussion.

However, unlike the one-sided fear and disgust towards the Whitebeard Pirates, some people hate the Revolutionary Army while others look forward to it.

In this situation, time passed slowly and finally the scheduled execution day arrived.

The day of execution.

Admiralty Headquarters, Marinford, Central Square.

The tall execution platform was placed in the most conspicuous place in the square, and in many corners of the square, live-broadcasting Den Den Mushi were placed in advance.

This is a product of Vegapunk's research, which can synchronously transmit the captured images to every corner of the world.

Marshal Zhan Guo stood on a high platform, looking at the arrangement below, his mind racing as he considered his own arrangement.

In front of the tall execution platform, there are three chairs. Those are the seats of the three admirals of the navy. They are also the last line of defense set up to deal with possible enemies.

Before the three admirals of the navy, there are the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

[Hawkeye] Mihawk, [Hegemony] Rhodes, [Empress] Boa Hancock, Gekko Moriah, Edward Weeble, Seaman Jinbe, and Blackbeard Marshall Teach.

These seven formed the penultimate line of defense.

Before them were the elite vice admirals of the Navy Headquarters and other elite naval forces summoned from all over the world.

'Straw Hat Boy Luffy, he is the key to this war!'

Zhan Guo continued to review his plan.

'According to the information provided by CP0, Fire Fist Ace will definitely come to rescue.

Given how much Whitebeard values ​​Ace, he considers him his successor and will never let him act alone. Maybe not all of his pirate groups will be dispatched, but the headquarters will definitely be dispatched.'

"As long as we control Straw Hat Boy Luffy and use him as bait, we can lure Fire Fist Ace and the Whitebeard Pirates behind him and capture them all in one fell swoop!"

Sengoku's eyes swept across Marinford again, calculating where the Whitebeard Pirates might appear.

They had lost news of the Whitebeard Pirates four days ago.

The World Government and the Navy have always arranged special people to monitor pirate emperors like Whitebeard, for fear that they might suddenly cause trouble.

The other party also knows that the world government is monitoring them.

The World Government only watched from a distance and never approached. Whitebeard would not deliberately attack the other side, and would show his actions generously. The two sides maintained a tacit understanding.

At this critical moment, the other party suddenly destroyed the surveillance ship, which means that the other party has already taken action!

This also means that the first step of the plan formulated by Zhan Guo has been achieved!
The combat power assembled by the navy is enough to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates.

The only thing that is not so certain is perhaps the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Sengoku's gaze fell on several Shichibukai, his eyes calm.

I hope these seven warlords can be more sensible, otherwise...
Thinking of the news from the World Government, a hint of coldness flashed in Sengoku's eyes.

only···

When his eyes fell on one of the Shichibukai, Sengoku's heart skipped a beat. His heart, which had calmed down after he had completed the whole plan, began to feel uneasy again.

Hegemony Rhodes!

This guy, after causing a big disturbance in Marijoa for more than a year, obtained the permission of the World Government, and his power has been expanding. Now he is the undisputed hegemon of the New World.

And his title also changed from Baquan to Supremacy!
It’s just that the World Government has been suppressing news about the other party, which has limited his fame to the New World and has not spread throughout the world.

Originally, Sengoku thought that the other party would not respond to the call for the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Unexpectedly, not only did they agree readily, but they also obeyed the arrangements very much. They just stayed quietly in their positions, waiting for the next order.

However, even though he cooperated so well, there was still a lingering feeling of uneasiness in Zhan Guo's heart.

I hope there won't be any problems in this regard.

Zhan Guo suppressed his anxiety and waited for the execution time to come.

···
at the same time.

The huge underwater prison is located inside the city.

"Thieves, hahahaha, let me see your strength, fight, those who survive can join my pirate group, and together we can take over this world!"

On the sixth level, in the infinite hell, Blackbeard Teach laughed wildly and looked at the strong men imprisoned on the sixth underground level, opening his arms as if embracing the world.

This is his plan!
He obtained the position of Shichibukai, entered Impel Down as one of the Shichibukai, and then recruited the strong men imprisoned in Impel Down to join his own pirate group, instantly forming a powerful team.

Then use these vicious people as your foundation and seize the world!
Everything went very smoothly!
With the identity of Shichibukai, he easily gained access to Impel Down, then killed the guards of Impel Down with ease, drove all the way to the sixth floor, and also obtained the service of the former chief guard of Impel Down, successfully obtaining the keys of all the criminals.

And the legendary man who was praised as the iron wall of the city, Magellan, never showed up for some unknown reason.

This is all really great! The plan went incredibly smoothly, as if the whole world was helping him!
Sure enough, he is the destiny!

Teach looked at the last few remaining thugs and a crazy smile appeared on his face.

"Let's go, guys!"

"There may be an unprecedented war going on outside right now. Let us make a brilliant debut under the watchful eyes of the whole world!"

As they pushed forward into the city, there was a burst of ghostly howling.

In addition to the companions chosen by Teach, countless pirates also took advantage of this unprecedented riot to escape from Impel Down. Although some people were puzzled as to why such a big change had taken place in Impel Down and Director Magellan had not shown up, everyone rushed out of Impel Down eagerly under the attraction of freedom.

No one noticed that in the scorching hell on the fourth floor underground, an ominous scarlet blood mist filled the air, entering the body of everyone who passed through the fourth floor through the skin and breath.

···
Marie Gioia, Between the Powers.

"it's time."

Saint Satan held a cane in his hand with a calm expression on his face.

"It's time to wipe out the revolutionary army and the pirates."

"The power of the navy must also be limited!"

Nasujuro Sei reminded.

"That's perfect. Let's take advantage of this opportunity and let them consume each other."

Saint Vochuli crossed his arms.

"From now on, the navy no longer needs to be too powerful."

Thinking of Vegapunk's research results, the Five Elders all showed confident expressions on their faces.

“The power of technology is the strongest.”

Saint Satan looked indifferent.

···
Marinford, central square.

Straw Hat Luffy was escorted by several marines and sent to the top of the execution platform.

"Whoosh-"

Zhan Guo blew twice into the microphone first, and after confirming with the navy beside him that there was no problem with the signal transmission, he coughed lightly twice.

"Everyone, today we will execute several pirates here."

Below the execution platform, Garp looked at Luffy, then at his comrades beside him, his fists clenched with a complicated expression.

On the stage, Sengoku spoke a lot, but the navy below and the people who were watching what was happening here through the video Den Den Mushi all looked absent-minded.

After this period of publicity, everyone knows that the guy on the execution platform is not the focus of the navy's attack. The navy is actually more concerned about the Whitebeard Pirates and the Revolutionary Army, which have a close relationship with him!
Everyone knows that the Whitebeard Pirates will definitely appear, the Revolutionary Army will also appear, and at least that man - Dragon will definitely appear.

Everyone is waiting for that moment.

until···
“Hehe~ I’m going to die!”

On the execution platform, Luffy showed a bright smile on his face, and that smile made everyone's heart tremble suddenly.

When facing death, even the bravest and most fearless person would find it difficult to remain calm.

And there are very few people who can smile calmly when facing death.

This Straw Hat Boy showed extraordinary calmness when facing death, and his smile was enough to make countless people feel ashamed.

Peng——!
A ball of scorching sun suddenly appeared in the sky.

The scorching sun fell, a burning breath descended from the sky, and terrifying flames burst out instantly, as if to burn everything.

"coming!!"

Everyone was shocked.

This is the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit!
The next moment, the flames gathered and condensed into a standing figure.

"How can I let you be killed in front of me, Luffy! You are my brother!"

Ace looked at Luffy on the execution platform with a smile on his face. The next moment, horrible flames surged out from his body, and the red flames spread out with him as the center.

"Too arrogant, it's just a fire fist."

A vice admiral stepped forward, drew his sword, and swung it suddenly. The powerful slash broke through the air and split the spreading flames in two.

"Great Flame Ring: Emperor Yan!"

The split flames rolled back and poured into Ace's body, and then with Ace's low shout, the flames gathered into a huge fireball, which he held in his hands. The terrifying heat emanated from the fireball continuously, and just getting close to it made it unbearable for a large number of navy.

"Oh my, young people are really too hot-tempered. You should cool down a bit."

Following Aokiji's lazy voice, the temperature dropped, and the square that had become scorching hot due to Ace's arrival instantly became cool.

"only one person?"

Zhan Guo looked at Ace with the Fire Fist who suddenly appeared with a look of doubt and confusion on his face.

The next moment, Zhan Guo's ears moved slightly, and the three generals simultaneously turned their eyes to the bay in front of the square.

In the sight of everyone, dozens of pirate ships floated up from the water, and one by one well-known big men appeared in the eyes of many naval soldiers.

"Gulala, you really made quite a fuss, Sengoku!"

Whitebeard stood at the bow and looked at the dark navy in the square.

"Finally appeared, Whitebeard!"

Although the way they appeared was somewhat unexpected, Sengoku felt a little relieved when he saw the powerful members of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"However, in a battle of this level, there is no chance for small fry to appear!"

Following Whitebeard's voice, the terrifying domineering aura was released, and Ace in the square also released his own domineering aura at the same time as Whitebeard released his domineering aura. The domineering auras of the two echoed each other, and black lightning suddenly appeared in the void. A strong sense of oppression swept down, and countless navy soldiers who were not firm enough in the square staggered and fell down.

"Such a strong and domineering aura!"

"Is this the power of the strongest man in the world!"

"The Fire Fist is so powerful!"

In the square, almost half of the people fainted under the impact of the domineering aura, and the remaining navy officers all had solemn expressions.

"Fishman Karate·Samewa Shoken!"

Just when everyone's attention was attracted by the domineering aura of Whitebeard and Fire Fist, Jinbei, who was at the second-to-last line of defense, suddenly turned against them, turned around and struck the execution platform fiercely.

"Jinbei!!"

The Seven Warlords of the Sea looked at the scene in front of them with amusement, and took two steps back. They neither helped Jinbe nor stopped him. They just watched the fun.

Edward Weeble looked at Whitebeard foolishly, and the more he looked, the more friendly he felt.

After all, that's his 'dad'!
"I'm sorry, Father Whitebeard has done a great favor to Fishman Island, and Ace is also my good friend. I can't possibly be his enemy."

Jinbei stomped his feet while saying this and instantly rushed towards Luffy who was falling from the execution platform.

"You really deserve to die, Jinbei!"

"Sure enough, pirates are pirates!"

The hot magma dripped from Akainu's fist, burning holes in the ground.

"Big fire-breathing!"

Before the Whitebeard Pirates started their attack, a fierce battle broke out inside the navy camp.
