Lord of the Stars of the Grand Line

The Meteorite, carrying the three islands, was still flying in the air, though it had already descended considerably and could not linger at an altitude of 10,000 meters indefinitely.

The oxygen there was too thin, and even Luo Feng couldn't adapt to it after a long time, let alone his crew, whose physical strength was not as good as his.

Although they were traveling through the air, Nami's presence ensured that their course was not affected in the slightest, and they continued to move closer to Marineford.

After eating the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Nami's already terrifying navigation talent was amplified once again, practically maxed out!

Luo Feng's guess was correct. The Rumble-Rumble Fruit not only has a terrifying boost to Observation Haki, but it is also a 'divine artifact' for those with a talent for navigation!

The current Nami no longer needs to go to the small sky island of Visalia and learn navigation and meteorology from those old men, just like in the original One Piece.

Because it wasn't necessary; having acquired the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, she was now far beyond the reach of those old men.

Besides her nautical talent, Nami's combat abilities have also been elevated, skyrocketing!

After all, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is a genuine combat fruit with top-tier power!

Now, she has finally perfected the initial understanding that Enel sensed when he released Raikou.

Completely different from Enel's use of thunderclouds, Nami's understanding of thunderclouds is very unique. With the assistance of her Observation Haki, which has also been enhanced to the highest level, she can clearly perceive and control the clouds in nature!

She can not only control thunderclouds in nature, but also create them autonomously and then utilize them.

Completely different from Enel and her original counterpart in the One Piece world, she can do it easily without the aid of the Ark Maxim and the Clima-Tact!

Then, based on these thunderclouds, we can use them to assist or launch powerful attacks, such as Enel's thunderous special moves. It probably won't be long before Nami catches up with her stamina and can completely replicate them, or even elevate them!

This is practically cutting-edge technology! Even Luo Feng was astonished when he learned that Nami could do all this.

This is even more powerful than he had anticipated!

She truly lives up to her title as the child of weather. If things continue to develop like this, given Nami's actions, it probably won't be long before she can rival Enel in terms of combat power!

Not to mention, Nami has been training her physical abilities all along, and she'll awaken Armament Haki sooner or later...

With Armament Haki, Nami could completely overcome Enel's previous shortcomings and might even be able to rival the first mate and a candidate admiral!

It's foreseeable that Nami's future is terrifying; it seems like Luo Feng and his group are on the verge of producing a female combatant.

After learning about Nami's progress, a series of teeth-scratching sounds rang out on the Meteorite, which would 'horrify' anyone who heard it!

This time, they understood why Luo Feng said the Rumble-Rumble Fruit was the most suitable for Nami...

Indeed, only she could perfectly develop the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and realize its true value if she ate it!

"I say, aren't the ladies on our ship a little too strong?"

Luo Zheng was leaning against the railing of the Tianyun, with his legs crossed, when he suddenly blurted out this sentence.

Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback, then nodded in agreement...

The Float-Float Fruit, the Dark-Dark Fruit, and the Rumble-Rumble Fruit—regardless of their type, they are all top-tier Devil Fruits, each unique in its own field!

Even the seemingly ordinary Flower-Flower Fruit possesses a bug-level ability, making it a near-perfect control-type fruit in many situations...

"Alright, enough talk. We have one more day to reach Marineford."

"Everyone, perk up! This is the last day, so stop training and conserve your energy!"

On the bow of the ship, Luo Feng came to his senses and instructed the group, "Didn't you all keep telling me you wanted to fight?"

"The real battle is about to begin. I've seen everything you've done, so don't disgrace the Godfall Pirates..."

"Yes, Captain!"

"How could that be? I can't wait any longer!"

"Haha, the time has finally come, the time for our Godfall Clan to appear in the world..."

"Those guys, you better hold your jaws, I'm looking forward to their amazing expressions!"

Luo Feng's pre-battle mobilization was very effective, igniting the blood of these 'beasts'...

Only one day remains until Ace's execution!

Chapter 169 The real countdown has begun!

Less than 24 hours remain until Fire Fist Ace is publicly executed; the real countdown has begun!

The distance between the Skyfall, which Luo Feng and the others were traveling on, and Marineford was roughly the same as the time Ace was executed, with little difference between them.

Unlike the calm thousands of meters above the sky where the Tianyun was traveling, the undercurrents over Qinghai were no longer turbulent; a storm was gradually rising to the surface...

Regardless of which faction they belong to or whether they are ordinary people, as time goes by, everyone's nerves are gradually becoming more and more tense!

In the Sabaody Archipelago, all the journalists began rushing to the location where the public execution would be broadcast live.

When these news reporters encounter such a major event, they swarm over like flies to smell excrement, vying for the best viewing spots.

Everyone wants to get firsthand information, be the first to take the plunge, and be the first to release it in order to gain the greatest benefit.

Of course, that's just wishful thinking. No one can beat Morgans, that old fox, to release the news. He has more advanced and covert methods.

This method of gathering intelligence by watching a live broadcast on a large screen is obviously very low-level to Morgans.

Therefore, despite the large number of reporters present at this location where the live broadcast was being conducted, no one from the World Economic Herald was seen.

Besides them, the new generation of stars who had gradually made a name for themselves on the high seas—Kid, Becky, and others—had all left the Sabaody Archipelago long ago, but for this matter, they all returned and reunited in this place where the winds of change meet, waiting for the start of this 'feast'.

Although they had long faded from public view and the bigwigs of the old era were indifferent to everything on the high seas, such a major event still attracted their attention.

"Heh, you're already so old, why make such a fuss?"

A disheveled, bespectacled middle-aged man with gray hair walked through the crowd, muttering to himself.

This figure might not be familiar to the young pirates of the New World, but some of the older generation of pirates who were not qualified to go to the New World and had been stuck in the Sabaody Archipelago were shocked and their eyes widened in surprise!

"Is that... Hades, Rayleigh?!"

"Even he was alarmed?"

"I really don't know what's so special about that kid named Ace that makes the Marine Headquarters go to such lengths and even attract worldwide attention!"

Even the most impoverished commoners couldn't resist the urge to join in the fun and all headed towards the center of Chambord.

Not only is the Sabaody Archipelago bustling with activity, but in the New World at this same time, a series of chilling scenes are also unfolding...

First, there's Whitebeard's territory. His dozens of affiliated pirate crews, and even some other forces, have already assembled and are heading towards the waters near Marineford from various directions.

As for the main ship, the Moby Dick of the Whitebeard Pirates, it was not among them and disappeared silently from this sea!

It's a true disappearance. This time, even the Navy and the World Government's intelligence organizations, which are as sharp as dogs' noses, can't find where the other party has gone.

Meanwhile, the agents on the Moby Dick also lost contact at this crucial moment!

This is bad news for the Navy. If they can't keep track of Whitebeard's flagship's movements, then there will be another layer of uncertainty.

But obviously, they had no choice. As one of the emperors of this sea, how could they not have their own methods to allow the navy to catch them in their traps at every step?

Shortly after the Whitebeard Pirates disappeared, two more pirate ships appeared near his territory!

Their identities are equally astonishing; both of them are actually Yonko (Emperors of the Sea)!

One of them is Kaido of the Four Emperors, who wants to take advantage of the war between Whitebeard and the Navy to directly steal the enemy's base and seize Whitebeard's territory and resources for himself.

On the other side is none other than Shanks, one of the Four Emperors!

He did this to stop Kaido from coming. When the news of Ace's public execution was first released, everyone was paying attention and planning their next move.

Shanks, on the other hand, only paid attention to the movements of the other four emperors besides Whitebeard. Big Mom chose to wait and see, while Kaido wanted to take the opportunity to intervene.

As a result, the Red-Haired Pirates could not remain indifferent. Shanks immediately decided to stop Kaido, and today, they finally clashed near Whitebeard's territory!

Aside from the Sabaody Archipelago and the New World, where powerful forces converge, on another frontier, a place feared by all pirates and considered hell, has unexpectedly been disrupted from its tranquility and become incredibly lively…

It is one of the Navy's three major institutions, the underwater prison—Imperial City!

Here, only the top floor is open to the outside; the remaining floors are submerged underwater. There are six floors in total, and the level of terror in the prison gradually increases with each floor.

This place is protected by the natural barrier of the calm zone, and there are countless sea kings in the seabed. The prison is designed like a maze and has video Den Den Mushi everywhere.

They are protected by a naval fleet that is even larger than the Buster Call. Most importantly, they are guarded by Magellan, the warden whose strength is almost on par with an admiral, and Shiru Ame, the warden with combat power at the level of a Yonko's vice president. It can be said that they are protected by an impregnable fortress!

This level of defense is absolutely impossible to break through unless one of the Four Emperors personally leads their forces!

Historically, there has only been one prison break here, namely the Golden Lion Shiki's escape twenty years ago, which the Navy considers a great disgrace!

Apart from that, no further incidents have occurred here.

This place is undoubtedly a nightmare for pirates. Not to mention trespassing, even normal people avoid it like the plague and turn pale at the mere mention of it.

But at this moment, Impel Down was actually broken into, and it was incredibly lively inside!

That's right, it was Straw Hat Luffy. Just like in the original One Piece, upon learning that his brother Ace was about to be executed, he rushed to Impel Down and successfully broke in ten hours ago!

Straw Hat Luffy stormed into Impel Down without any obstacles. Even when he encountered some trouble, it was nothing more than a minor one, which he resolved with little effort.

It took less than ten hours from infiltrating Impel Down to reach the fourth level of the prison—the Fiery Hell!

The distance to Ace, who was imprisoned on the sixth floor, was not very far.

But it was on this fourth level that Luffy's good luck came to an end...

Because the warden's office in Impel Down is located on this fourth floor, it was no surprise that Luffy encountered Impel Down's big boss, Magellan! (Nine.)

Chapter 170 Go to the sixth floor and release those monsters!

It has to be said that Luffy truly deserves to be called the chosen one of this world.

With the appearance of Luo Feng, Luffy's growth trajectory will naturally be different from before. Not only will his crewmates change, but his experiences will also change a lot.

Incidents like Alabasta and Enies Lobby will certainly not happen again.

Besides, the Straw Hat crew never even landed on Skypiea. Otherwise, if we follow the timeline, Luffy and the others should have been there long before Luo Feng went there.

But it was clear that apart from Luo Feng, there were no signs of any disturbance there caused by anyone else.

The trajectory of fate is forcibly altered; some things that were supposed to happen will never happen again, just like the Sky Island incident.

But in some cases, just like in the original One Piece series, things still happened as expected...

This rampage in Impel Down is a typical example. With the same purpose and roughly the same circumstances, Luffy's "033" still appeared.

Although there are some changes, such as the method of entering Impel Down, which is no longer with Hancock's help, but with another Shichibukai, the Revolutionary Army's mole in the World Government, Bartholomew Kuma!

This time, it was he who secretly helped deliver Straw Hat Luffy to Impel Down!

For example, some of the people who helped Luffy in Impel Down, such as Bon Clay and Mr. 3 the Candle Man, are now high-ranking officers on Lockheed Martin's ship, so it's even less likely that they would show up to help again.
