Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

If we calculate each affiliated pirate crew to have exactly one hundred members, then these affiliated pirate crews alone would number nearly five thousand people. If we add the Whitebeard Pirates, the total would be six or seven thousand.

Moreover, these six or seven thousand people are not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry. Those who can become part of the forces under the Four Emperors' pirate crews are at least guys with bounties of tens of millions of Berries on their hands.

Many of the captains in the Whitebeard Pirates were comparable to the so-called "Seven Warlords of the Sea".

Given that the Marine Headquarters possesses what is arguably the strongest pirate force on the seas, it's understandable that they would be so cautious when facing the Whitebeard Pirates.

Before the navy could launch a second round of bombardment, Whitebeard, standing on the Moby Dick, had already put down his Supreme Grade Sword, Murakumogiri, and spread his arms as if to tear it apart.

The next second, the air, which was clearly empty, was stretched and rippled in Whitebeard's hand like a curtain, and then, to everyone's astonishment, the entire sea was overturned!

A colossal tsunami, hundreds of meters high, formed in an instant and pressed down upon the entire Marineford region with an overwhelming force!

It is no exaggeration to say that a tsunami of this scale, if left unchecked, would have been enough to completely engulf the entire Marineford.

"Is this the strength of the strongest man in the world? I heard that Whitebeard's fighting power has declined significantly due to his advanced age."

But judging from the current situation, with this kind of strength, defeating a Marine Admiral shouldn't be a problem.

Wood and Ruth, disguised as two lowly Marines, were also standing among the Marines' cannon fodder. When they saw the massive tsunami falling like the sky, Wood couldn't help but sigh that Whitebeard's title of "the strongest man in the world" was truly well-deserved.

In terms of human physical capabilities in the world of One Piece, seventy-two years old is not considered old. The main reason why Whitebeard's body was failing was because he ate the Paramecia-type "Tremor-Tremor Fruit".

Some powerful Devil Fruits often cause certain side effects to the body. For example, Magellan's "Venom-Venom Fruit" causes him to spend more than half of his day in the toilet.

As the man who ate the "Tremor-Tremor Fruit," Whitebeard may appear to be fine on the surface, but each time he uses his power, it puts a certain burden on his body.

Paramecia-type Devil Fruit users are not Logia-type users and do not possess the ability to transform their bodies into elements. Although their physical structure changes after eating Devil Fruits, their major organs, such as the heart and brain, obviously cannot undergo the same structural changes.

Just like Luffy is a rubber man, but his brain and heart obviously can't be made of rubber either.

Similarly, Whitebeard, although he was an earthquake survivor, should still have normal organs such as his heart.

Each time the power of the "Tremor-Tremor Fruit" is used, it may cause internal injuries such as displacement or shock damage. Such effects are naturally not a problem when one is young.

However, with the accumulation of years and the increase in age, it will naturally become apparent gradually. (This is purely the author's ramblings; please don't criticize if you don't like it (▽｀))

A massive, earth-shattering tsunami cast a huge shadow over the entire Marine Headquarters, and the Marines standing on the island were all visibly terrified.

At this moment, one of the three top combatants of the Navy Headquarters, who was sitting in the C position at the back, suddenly leaped a hundred meters into the air, while his body also burst out with an extremely astonishing cold aura!

Ice Age——————!

Aokiji's hands transformed into ice arms and opened to the left and right. Suddenly, two ice shards burst forth from his palms and extended at an extremely fast speed toward the tsunami that was crashing down.

Then, a sudden drop in air temperature caused the massive tsunami, which should have been crashing down, to freeze in mid-air, as if a pause button had been pressed...

No, to be more precise, the tsunami that would have engulfed the entire Marineford was now completely frozen by ice, and the area of ​​ice spread even extended to the location of the Whitebeard Pirates' flagship, the Moby Dick!

"The earthquake that my father caused was actually stopped just like that!"

"The sea has actually been frozen. Is this the strength of the Navy Headquarters' top combat force, the Navy Admirals?"

Compared to the Marines who were terrified and made funny faces before, now it was the Whitebeard Pirates' turn to swallow hard as they looked at the frozen world before them after seeing the entire sea frozen.

"Don't be scared, everyone! We expected to fight a Marine Admiral. We still have to rescue Ace!"

"That's right, so what if he's a Navy Admiral? We still have our fathers! What are you all afraid of? Charge with me!"

As a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, he had traveled all over the world with Whitebeard and had seen all sorts of storms.

Although Aokiji's "Ice Age" technique was quite impressive, it ultimately failed to completely intimidate the Whitebeard Pirates.

Because the sea was frozen, the Whitebeard Pirates even jumped off the deck and rushed across the ice.

"Everyone, prepare to engage! We absolutely cannot let these pirates get close to the execution platform!"

Seeing the pirates charging towards them, the Marines at headquarters naturally retaliated.

Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, the moment the two sides made contact, they instantly discovered a fierce battle. To the uninitiated, the scene looked like the navy fighting pirates, but to the uninitiated, it looked like two gangs fighting.

"Captain, what should we do now? Should we really help the Navy, or help the Whitebeard Pirates?"

At this moment, Ruth was carrying a Whitebeard Pirates crew member in each hand like a chicken, casually knocking them unconscious and throwing them to the ground. Then he looked at Wood and asked.

Although agreeing to the Navy's conditions required their covert assistance, Russ knew that Wood had a fairly good personal relationship with the Whitebeard Pirates, and he also knew that their captain was not someone who would follow the rules.

"Do we even need to think about it? Our faction is neutral/chaotic, so who cares about the navy or pirates? We can just do what we like."

"You can help the Navy if you want, or help the pirates if you want. We'll split up now; I'll go over there and see what's going on."

Hearing what Wood said, Ruth was speechless. He wanted to say something, but he soon realized that his captain had already disappeared in front of him.

Perona has already secretly gone to find her former master, Gecko Moria, even though she has now joined Wood Arms Company under Robin's coercion and enticement.

However, Moonlight Moria had been kind to her, and Perona had obtained so much juicy information from Wood, so she came specifically to warn Moria, hoping he wouldn't die here.

Chapter 461 Wood: I heard you were talking about me, so I came over.

Marineford is now in complete chaos, with the Navy and pirates locked in a fierce battle like chess pieces.

The division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates, as well as the captains of their affiliated pirate crews, were being held back by either elite vice admirals from the Navy or by Mihawk and Bartholomew Kuma, two of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Aside from Hawkeye and Bartholomew Kuma, who put in a lot of effort, the other Shichibukai, such as Gecko Moria, Doflamingo, and Boa Hancock, were a completely chaotic group. They would fight anyone they encountered, regardless of whether the opponent was a Marine or a pirate.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku stood on the execution platform, watching the pirate crews affiliated with the Whitebeard Pirates gradually enter. He silently calculated the time, preparing to raise the defensive barrier at any moment, ready to trap the Whitebeard Pirates like turtles in a jar.

Just as the Whitebeard Pirates were entering, a naval warship suddenly took off and landed directly on the plaza.

And soon, one by one, Impel Down prisoners dressed in black and white prison uniforms disembarked from the naval warships.

Among this group, the leader is none other than Luffy wearing a straw hat, Crocodile who was stripped of his Shichibukai title, Jinbe of the Fishman tribe, and finally Buggy the Great!

The initially evenly matched situation has changed because the pirates have gained this new force. The navy, which originally held a certain advantage, has begun to be suppressed by the pirates.

Seeing the heavy casualties among the navy, Fleet Admiral Sengoku frowned slightly, then shouted loudly while holding the Den Den Mushi in his hand: "Don't wait any longer! Immediately cut off all Den Den Mushi communications and raise the defensive barrier!"

The so-called defensive wall is one of the measures that the Navy had prepared long ago. The defensive wall, which is hundreds of meters high and incredibly thick, will form a ring shape to surround all the pirates in the square.

Because the defensive barrier is made of Seastone and is incredibly thick, even someone as strong as Whitebeard, the "strongest man in the world," could not break through it.

After the defensive barrier is raised, Akainu and his two companions will unleash a powerful area-of-effect AoE attack from the air to completely kill all the pirates inside the barrier!

Because the methods used were too despicable, all Den Den Mushi image transmissions were cut off in this segment to maintain the image of the Navy's righteousness and grandeur.

In any case, all people care about is the outcome. Pirates are evil, while the Navy is righteous. This is already the consensus of most people.

It has now been confirmed that Portgas D. Ace is a descendant of the Pirate King Roger, and this fact has been transmitted to all parts of the world via Den Den Mushi. If the Navy can successfully execute Portgas D. Ace and bury Whitebeard here, it will be enough for the Navy to establish sufficient prestige in the hearts of the people and the entire sea.

However, to Sengoku's surprise, just as their navy was about to raise the defensive barrier, they discovered that the ground was covered by the ice that Aokiji had previously frozen, making it impossible to raise it.

When Akainu finally unleashed an enhanced version of his "Great Eruption," exploding in the air to form falling volcanic bombs that melted the ice on the ground, he discovered that Oars Jr., who had previously been killed by the Marines, had his massive body lying right on a defensive wall.

For this reason, the original tight net now has a huge gap in it. When Akainu used "Volcano Bomb" to launch a full-scale attack on the pirates in the square, he obviously did not get the results he had expected.

What surprised Fleet Admiral Sengoku even more was that although he had interrupted all the video Den Den Mushi at Marineford, Buggy, who had escaped from Impel Down, had managed to pick up a Den Den Mushi in Impel Down and connect it to the Navy's channels, and even started a live broadcast.

"Lord Moria, let's leave here as soon as possible. It's extremely dangerous here. I've received reliable intelligence that both the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates will suffer a major setback here."

Perona, dressed in a black Gothic Lolita outfit and holding a black parasol, floated in the air in a spirit form, constantly urging Moonlight Moria not to act impulsively and that leaving this dangerous place as soon as possible was the most important thing.

"Perona, do you also think that after losing to the Straw Hat Pirates, I am no longer worthy of being one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and that I can't even deal with some small-time Marines and pirates?"

"As long as I get my hands on Oz's body, and then insert a shadow even stronger than the Straw Hat Boy into it, we can make a comeback."

Since his crushing defeat to the Straw Hat Pirates on Thriller Bark, Moria's standing in the eyes of the World Government has plummeted. It is said that if Jinbe and Crocodile hadn't been imprisoned, he would have lost his position as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

During the previous gathering of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Moria, covered in bandages, had already been mocked by Doflamingo more than once. Now, upon hearing Perona's words, he was even more furious, thinking that Perona also looked down on him.

"No, it's not that I doubt Lord Moria's strength, but rather that I learned this information from the naval traitor Wood. He said..."

"Oh, kid, I think I just heard you mention the naval traitor Wood, right? Is that guy on this battlefield now?"

Before Perona could finish speaking, Crocodile, dressed in prison clothes, carrying a gold hook, and with a large cigar he'd somehow acquired in his mouth, forcefully interrupted Moria and Perona's conversation.

Unlike Gecko Moria, Shakurokuda, while also losing to the Straw Hat crew, believed that the biggest reason for his defeat was Wood's interference.

Regarding the bet, Old Sha had nothing to say about being less skilled than his opponent. However, having finally escaped from Impel Down, he naturally wanted to challenge Wood again and settle old scores.

However, no sooner had Old Sha finished speaking than a cold glint flashed in the air, and his head, which was still smoking a cigar, fell to the ground with a thud.

"Fufufufufu, this is some good news. Crocodile, you also have a grudge against that Navy traitor Wood?"

"That's perfect, I hate that guy too. How about we team up this time?"

Such a peculiar laugh could only come from Doflamingo, the "Heavenly Demon," on the entire ocean.

As Claudio's head fell to the ground and turned to sand, his headless body quickly returned to normal. He looked at Doflamingo, who was walking with wide, pigeon-toed gaits, and said disdainfully, "I have no intention of teaming up with anyone. If you want to defeat that guy, I alone am enough!"

Those who can become the "Seven Warlords of the Sea" are all notorious pirates on the sea, and naturally they do not want to be subordinate to others.

Doflamingo's offer of cooperation sounds good, but Crocodile has just escaped Impel Down and is completely alone. The so-called "cooperation" is based on equal conditions for both parties. Given his current state, if he were to "cooperate" with Doflamingo, he would most likely end up becoming Doflamingo's henchman, which Crocodile would naturally not agree to.

"Fufufufufu, it seems you've been driven mad by being locked up in Impel Down. You obviously don't know that the outside world is different now."

You don't actually think you can defeat Wood on your own, do you? Information is really congested in Impel Down, isn't it? The guy you think you can defeat just recently escaped unscathed from two Yonko at Big Mom's tea party, and even inflicted some damage on them.

Crocodile was clearly taken aback when he heard Doflamingo's words. He had met Wood and had a brief exchange of blows back in the desert country of Alabasta.

Although he knew that the Ancient Weapon Wood was very strong, he did not feel that there was a big gap between them. However, after hearing Doflamingo say this, Crocodile clearly felt a lot of pressure.

That's right, the Seven Warlords of the Sea are indeed prominent figures on the high seas, but only relatively speaking.

In the eyes of ordinary pirates, they are naturally renowned great pirates, "privileged pirates" used by the World Government to deter ordinary pirates on the sea.

However, in the face of the true "Emperor of the Sea," the so-called "Seven Warlords of the Sea" are nothing but shrimp.
