One Piece: Surrounded at Marineford? Just kidding!

Whitebeard's declaration of war against the Navy echoed over the Moby Dick, lingering for a long time.

"We're going to..."

"Let's wage the world's greatest war!"

The deck froze miraculously after the order was given.

There were no fanatical shouts.

There was no impulsive roar.

At this moment, all the crew members, all the captains, and all the warriors of the Whitebeard Pirates all turned into silent statues.

but!

The eyes of every crew member were filled with the flames of revenge!

"Assemble!"

"Raise the sails high!!"

"Notify all attached fleets!"

Assemble at the entrance to the new world, the "Trident Sea"!

Commands roared out from the mouths of the squad leaders, concise, crisp, and filled with the tension of impending war.

The entire Moby Dick emitted a muffled roar, its massive hull carving a resolute arc across the sea. The whale on its bow seemed to come alive, opening its massive jaws and letting out a silent roar toward the route leading to the Navy Headquarters.

A massive storm has begun.

……

Just half a day later.

The whole world heard the roar of this sea emperor.

An urgent extra edition, personally signed by Morgans, president of the World Economic News Agency, was like a black snowfall, covering every corner of the world.

There are no extra words.

There was only one photo, one of the white-bearded men, that took up the entire page.

In the photo, his eyes are wide open in anger, his beard and hair are standing on end, and the fury that seems to tear the sky apart seems to burn through the paper and incinerate everyone who sees it.

The title contains only one word.

[Declare war!]

Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

The Den Den Mushi (snail phone) in the Marshal's office had been ringing non-stop for the past hour, like a swarm of dying frogs.

"Reporting to the Marshal! G-5 Branch confirms that the Whitebeard Pirates' main ship has changed course!"

"Report! The 'Great Vortex Spider' Squard fleet, under Whitebeard's command, has been spotted in the waters off Branch G-2!"

"Report! 'Ranger Knight' Dorma's ship has also appeared!"

"And the Deckard Brothers! 'Ice Witch' Whiteybe!"

They are all converging in one direction!

One name after another was announced, each representing a renowned pirate from the New World.

Sengoku stood silently in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, his face even more gloomy than the dark clouds outside.

Because they angered a sea emperor!

The office door was suddenly pushed open.

Navy hero Garp strode in, a bag of donuts in his hand.

The smile on his face vanished, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity.

"The Warring States Period"

Is there really no room for maneuver?

Zhan Guo did not turn around; his voice was suppressed, like a volcano about to erupt.

"Immediately issue a 'Mandatory Summoning Order'! Target: The Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

"Order the three generals to return to headquarters immediately!"

"Marineford, enter highest level of alert!"

The Holy Land, Mary Geoise, Between Powers.

The five most powerful figures in the world were silently staring at Ace's face on the bounty poster.

"That old man with the white beard... he's finally coming."

"This was a war that caused a huge sensation."

"However, this is also an opportunity, an opportunity to completely eliminate the remnants of the old era."

"Have CP0 keep a close eye on Kaido and Big Mom. We absolutely cannot let those two lunatics cause trouble at a time like this."

"Pass down the order, let Sengoku... go ahead and do it."

The world government is giving him unconditional support this time!

……

USS Moby Dick, War Room.

The heavy wooden door was pushed open, and the team leaders walked in one by one.

The room had no superfluous decorations, only a huge round table large enough to accommodate all the core members, and a huge Whitebeard Pirates flag hanging on the wall.

Marco was the first to walk in. He was completely different from usual; he no longer looked sleepy and was now just cold-faced.

Joz followed closely behind, each step he took causing the solid deck to groan under his weight, his diamond-like arms reflecting the light and radiating a silent sense of oppression.

Vista, the foil fencer, kept his hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist, and his once affectionate eyes now held only a sharp killing intent.

Izang, Bramank, Lakyo.

All fourteen squad leaders, the Whitebeard Pirates' top combat force, were present.

Chen Ye was the last one to walk in.

As soon as he stepped into the room, he felt an overwhelming, almost crushing aura wash over him.

This is not domineering.

This is the silent, collective anger of dozens of captains from the Whitebeard Pirates.

Everyone found their place and stood; no one sat down.

They are all waiting.

Waiting for Newgate, the ultimate leader of the Whitebeard Pirates, to arrive.

squeak-

Behind the main seat in the conference room, a door reserved for the white-bearded man was pushed open.

Edward Newgate walked in.

He carried no weapons and did not unleash any domineering aura; his mere presence alone increased the tension in the room.

He walked to the huge chair at the head of the table, but instead of sitting down immediately, he stretched out his huge palm and placed it on the table.

thump.

A muffled thud.

All the team captains unconsciously tensed up.

The white-bearded man's gaze, like a tangible searchlight, slowly swept across the faces of each of his sons.

His gaze lingered on Chen Ye for a fleeting moment.

Those eyes no longer held the previous appreciation and gentleness, only a bottomless, deathly stillness before the storm.

Finally, he withdrew his gaze, pulled out a chair, and slowly sat down.

boom!

It's like a mountain that has settled into everyone's heart.

A long silence.

A suppressed silence.

The white-bearded man finally spoke. His voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly, each word as if carved from a giant stone.

"That bastard Teach killed his comrades for his so-called ambition, and now, to save his own life, he's handed Ace over to the Marines."

"This is the most serious provocation and betrayal against our Whitebeard Pirates."

"The Navy has also accepted this 'gift.' They want to use the execution of Ace to declare their 'justice' to the world and to humiliate the dignity of the Whitebeard Pirates as one of the Four Emperors."

He paused for a moment, then looked up.

"They want to fight."

"Then we'll give them a war."

As soon as he finished speaking, he reached out and slapped the huge tabletop.

Whoosh!

A huge nautical chart made of special sea animal hide was instantly unfolded and covered the entire tabletop.

The nautical chart was densely marked with shipping lanes, islands, and the outposts of various naval branches.

The white-bearded man's fingers, like the tip of a halberd, swept across the Great Voyage, crossed the Red Earth, and finally landed heavily in the center of the map.

There, a heavily guarded, crescent-shaped island with numerous fortifications is depicted.

Naval Headquarters.

Marineford.

All the captains' eyes were focused on that one point.

"Our son is right here."

The white-bearded man's voice was cold and resolute.

"Now, let's begin the war council!"
