Marineford War: I Will Stand in the Sky

The Warring States Marshal agreed.

"Yes, but if we win this battle, we might just be able to end the 'Great Pirate Era' completely, which would greatly reduce the number of pirates..."

……

At the same time, countless projection Den Den Mushi (snail phones) lit up simultaneously around the world, projecting images composed of multiple angles in front of more than 80% of the world's population.

Marineford, the headquarters of the Navy, which gathers more than 100,000 elite officers and generals!

At this moment, Marineford Square was filled with a thick and grim atmosphere, and the presence of elite naval personnel openly displayed to the world instilled a sense of awe in everyone.

Soon, everyone's attention was drawn to the seven figures sitting in their chairs, each with a different physique, and these figures exuded an aura that was out of place with the Marines.

Fierce, eerie, brutal, arrogant...

The Seven Warlords of the Sea!

"Pirate Empress" Hancock, "Holy Crying Mantis" Corazon, "Great Pirate" Gecko Moria, "Tyrant" Kuma, "Great Gouketsu" Tiger, "Queen of Wa" Yamato, and the most terrifying "Skull Emperor" Brook!!!

Just through the visual Den Den Mushi, countless civilians felt a chill run down their spines, and a sense of fear arose uncontrollably.

"What terrifying and horrifying villains..."

"That...is that a skeleton? And that skeleton is emanating black energy..."

"The Pirate Empress is indeed beautiful, but she seems to be sad..."

"Is it really just to have someone like that in Marineford?"

[Chapter 794. Whitebeard...Makes His Appearance!]

While everyone was discussing the appearance of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, many people noticed three seats placed not far in front of the execution platform.

The next moment, not only under the watchful eyes of the world, but also under the respectful gazes of all the Marines in Marineford, the three Admirals stepped forward.

Admiral Sakazuki, also known as "Akainu"!

Admiral Kuzan, the "Blue Pheasant"!

Admiral Borsalino, nicknamed "Kizaru"!

As the three admirals of the Navy took their seats in front of the execution platform, they almost formed an absolute iron wall, and the absolute oppressive feeling seemed to be enough to suppress all the pirates!

They... seemed to be the unyielding banner of justice!

"sharp……"

"Is that the legendary Navy Admiral? He is indeed completely different from ordinary Navy personnel."

"Victory will surely belong to the Navy, won't it?"

A significant portion of the public couldn't help but cheer after the three admirals appeared.

For many ordinary people, although there are no shortage of corrupt and brutal individuals in the lower ranks of the navy, they have been unconsciously instilled with the idea that the navy is justice and pirates are evil due to the prevailing beliefs and the influence of the world government that controls the newspapers.

Because, in the eyes of many people, this public execution broadcast was undoubtedly a decisive battle between justice and evil, and it would profoundly affect their future.

Through centuries of propaganda by world governments, the Admirals have earned the title of "the strongest naval force" in the hearts of the people. They are not only the representatives of the navy, but also the banner of justice!

In comparison, the many elite vice admirals who arrived at their designated positions along with the admirals were far less dazzling than the admirals and the seven warlords of the sea.

Until, there was movement at the execution platform!

A black-haired youth wearing sea stone handcuffs slowly walked out, and was then forced to kneel on the execution platform by the executioner.

Then, a tall and imposing man walked onto the execution platform, his "Justice" cloak fluttering in the wind. With his appearance, almost everyone in Marineford was drawn to him, and even the video Den Den Mushi broadcast gave him a close-up.

Fleet Admiral – "The Wise General" Sengoku the Buddha!

At this moment, there was no trace of confusion or defeat on the face of the Warring States general. The Warring States marshal, who bore the name of justice, only had dignity and perseverance.

The Sengoku Marshal slowly picked up the Den Den Mushi (snail phone) that connected to the entire plaza's broadcast system and spoke authoritatively.

"Before the public execution, there is one thing I must convey to you all and to the entire world, and that is about Ace's identity!!"

"Although the newspapers have revealed Ace's background as the 'son of the Pirate King,' many people probably still have doubts and suspicions, therefore..."

Immediately afterwards, in order to prove to the world the necessity of this public execution and to prove Ace's identity, Fleet Admiral Sengoku began to convey to everyone the irrefutable evidence of the bloodline within Ace!

On the other side of the execution platform, Vice Admiral Tsuru, Vice Admiral Garp, and Chief Instructor Zephyr stood side by side, with "Momosasa" Gion and "Chaton" Kake behind them.

However, while Vice Admiral Tsuru, Vice Admiral Garp, and Chief Instructor Zephyr were quietly discussing war matters, Gion, nicknamed "Momosasa," seemed to have lost her soul. Her lifeless eyes revealed a deep sense of self-blame and sorrow, while "Chaton" Kake kept trying to comfort Gion in a low voice.

"Um... Gion, don't be sad..."

“No one wanted to see something happen to Brother Yann. Although I am also very sad, the war is about to begin, and your condition is terrible…”

"Gion, cheer up a little..."

"It was on Brother Yan's orders that you didn't go back to the conference room with him, so there's no need for you to blame yourself so much..."

"Don't worry, now that Brother Yan is gone, I will take good care of you..."

Upon hearing this, Gion's lifeless eyes shifted slightly as she looked at Kake.

Seeing this, Kake's face unconsciously showed a hint of joy at Gion's reaction, but Gion uttered a remark.

"Shut up."

Jiaji's expression twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh.

However, Jiaji was not at all surprised by this result. In the month since his brother Yann's accident, similar things had happened countless times.

Gion, consumed by self-blame and grief, was completely deaf to any words of comfort from anyone.

'Speaking of which...'

With nothing else to do, Jiaji's gaze inadvertently drifted to the stunningly beautiful "Pirate Empress" Hancock in the distance, and he couldn't help but mutter to himself.

'That pirate empress recovers much faster than Gion…'

'Tsk tsk, as expected of the woman hailed as 'the most beautiful woman of the sea,' her slightly sorrowful and melancholic appearance only accentuates her stunning beauty.'

……

Just then, the sea surface in the inner bay of Marineford suddenly bulged up, as if some enormous creature was about to emerge.

"what?!"

This sudden turn of events left both the navy personnel and civilians stunned.

"boom!"

The next moment, it was as if a giant whale had emerged from the sea, and the "Moby Dick," whose name had spread throughout the ocean along with the white-bearded man, burst into the eyes of the world.

A shirtless man with a crescent-shaped white beard, a tall and imposing figure, stood atop the bow of the "Moby Dick".

"Kurarara, you little brats from the navy, I've come to take my son home!"

In an instant, the domineering and heroic voice resounded throughout Marineford, and even spread to every corner of the sea through countless projected Den Den Mushi, making the expressions of many high-ranking naval officers look somewhat unpleasant.

Without a doubt, Whitebeard's appearance rendered the battle formation previously set up by Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Vice Admiral Tsuru, and Vice Admiral Yan almost useless!

"Attention everyone, don't let your guard down! The enemy is none other than 'the world's strongest man,' Whitebeard, Edward Newgate!!"

Reminded by some naval officers, many of the sailors, who were intimidated by Whitebeard's natural aura and domineering presence, subconsciously swallowed and gripped their weapons tightly.

On the Moby Dick, behind Whitebeard stood fourteen division commanders, who made Whitebeard appear even more imposing and arrogant!

“Kula la la…”

Facing the densely packed swarms of marines before him, Whitebeard took a deep breath, a sense of pride rising within him like never before. He placed "Murakumogiri" beside him, his fists crossed to gather power.

"Hey navy brats, let me give you a little something as a greeting gift first..."

[Chapter 795. Operation Liberation of the Ocean... Begins!]

The next moment, Whitebeard's fists slammed out to both sides, and to the astonishment of the Marines, large cracks appeared in the atmosphere on both sides of the Moby Dick.

"The air... the air cracked?"

"What does Whitebeard want to do?"

"It seems like something's about to change!!!"

Amidst the slightly flustered expressions of the navy personnel and the shocked gazes of the civilians in front of countless projected Den Den Mushi, the sea suddenly trembled.

It wasn't a slight tremor, but a sudden, earth-shattering reversal, with towering waves crashing up from both sides of Marineford, obscuring the sky and blocking out the sun!

At this moment, Marineford, a medium-to-large island, was almost like a leaf that could be easily submerged in the face of such terrifying waves.

Countless civilians, pirates, and nobles who witnessed this scene felt a chill run down their spines, and a sense of awe rushed to their brains.

Is this... the "world's strongest man"? A man hailed as possessing the power to destroy the world?

Meanwhile, the elite marines within Marineford were also utterly shocked by the terrifying power that Whitebeard unleashed.

The Navy has always been proud that the three admirals are Logia-type Devil Fruit users, and their terrifying power can be transformed into natural disasters to destroy everything at any time.

However, the man standing proudly against the Marine Headquarters may not be a natural disaster, but his terrifying power is enough to easily unleash a catastrophe capable of destroying everything.

More importantly, the elite navy, which had been full of confidence, felt incredibly small and powerless in the face of this terrible natural disaster.

Can a man like that really be defeated?

Just as the waves were about to engulf Marineford completely and drag everything to the bottom of the sea, Admiral Kuzan, who had been sitting steadily, leaped into the air, emanating an astonishing chill.

Ice Age!

Instantly, the moisture in the air condensed rapidly, and two ice pillars extended from Kuzan's palm, piercing into the towering waves sweeping in from both sides.

The chill... spread rapidly, freezing everything!

"Crack... Crack..."

Almost instantly, under Kuzan's "Ice-Ice Fruit" power, not only were the towering waves frozen, but the inner bay of the port where the "Moby Dick" was located and the sea outside the port where many naval warships were deployed were also frozen.

"I'm...I'm saved..."

As Kuzan landed in the air with a cold and indifferent expression, effortlessly resolving a disaster that could have utterly destroyed Marineford, many elite naval personnel almost subconsciously sighed with relief.

However, at that moment, a large number of pirate ships appeared at the edge of Marineford and began firing at the frozen naval warships in unison.

"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"

In an instant, countless shells rained down on the naval warships!

Despite the fact that the naval warships, which incorporated a great deal of technology, were far superior in strength to the pirate crews under the Whitebeard Pirates, and that the well-trained naval soldiers quickly returned fire.
