A magic merchant infiltrating Fairy Tail

Although some people are less perceptive, and Impel Down is large enough with top-notch shockproof technology, so their perception is not obvious, the current anomaly is nowhere to be hidden by the Observation Haki of those powerful individuals.

They soon realized something incredible—the deep-sea prison, Impel Down, was rising!

"This prison... is moving?!"

"What nonsense are you spouting?! Do you even know how big Impell is?!"

It's difficult to tell how big Impel Down is from the outside unless you go inside and walk through all the levels from Level 1 to Level 6 to get a rough idea of ​​its size.

However, it is certain that its bottom is grounded, and the space on the sixth floor is large enough to fit even a giant like the 'giant battleship' San Juan Wolf.

Although the wolf's 180-meter 'top height' is due to the power of the 'Big Big Fruit', he is still a giant, so he should be at least 18 meters tall.

In other words, the sixth level of Infinite Hell is at least 20 meters high, and the six levels combined would be at least 2 to 300 meters high.

"There's only one person I can think of who could do something like this..."

"You're not talking about Golden Lion, are you? That guy has been missing for over 20 years! He should be dead somewhere unknown by now, right?"

"Are you kidding me?! That's the Golden Lion!! How could he just die without a sound? Besides, look at the current situation, I can't imagine what other ability besides his 'Float-Float Fruit' could shake up this Impel Down prison!"

"Speaking of which, this prison is not only built on the seabed, but it's also made of Seastone, right? And the Devil Fruit's power is actually useful?"

"It must be because it has already awakened, right?"

Magellan was feeling incredibly uncomfortable all over, not only because he hadn't even had time to take off his pants before being forced to confront the enemy, but also because the enemy before him was someone he absolutely couldn't defeat.

The ground was covered in dark red venom, and the air was filled with dark purple poisonous gas.

In the vast Level 1 prison, all the guards, including Deputy Warden Hannibal, were either dead or wounded and had lost the ability to continue fighting. Only four people remained conscious.

One of them was Commissioner Magellan, who was now lying on the ground in a sorry state, his head bleeding and his body covered in wounds. In a trembling voice, he questioned the infamous pirates before him: "Why... are the three of you here...?!"

Before him stood three imposing, towering figures, like three unshakeable mountains. Just their presence alone made Magellan breathless.

It was Shiki, Kaido, and Big Mom who came together!

The three of them did not answer Magellan's question, but instead started chatting amongst themselves.

"Mama~ Mama~ Why did you have to wait until now to make your move?" The middle-aged woman, with her heavy makeup and pink dress as usual, stood on Zeus, carried Napoleon in her hand, and was accompanied by Prometheus. She turned to look at the golden lion.

The Golden Lion hovered in the air, two cigars dangling from his lips. The two great swords, 'Kureki' and 'Sakura Jū', on his feet reflected a cold, bright silver light, indicating that they had been treated and restored to their former glory.

"Hehehehe... If we don't let 'Fire Fist' Ace go first, how are we going to lure out that Whitebeard guy? If that guy doesn't come out, won't the battlefield be too boring?"

Kaido carried a spiked club, its Haki still lingering, radiating an aura of terrifying power.

His hair and beard stood on end, his muscles bulged, and he exuded an imposing aura without being angry. He said calmly, "If that brat who plays with fire were in our hands, we might be the ones facing Whitebeard!"

"I wouldn't mind fighting him, but I don't want the navy to benefit from it!"

The three had actually arrived long ago, but they had been hiding in the sky and hadn't shown themselves until Ace entered the Gate of Justice. Then they suddenly descended from the sky and unleashed a powerful attack that paralyzed the entire Impel Down communication system.

Affected by the ultimate move, most of the pirates and jailers on Level 1 and Level 2 were killed or wounded. However, these people did not even have the right to be glanced at by the three. Then, Shiki put his hand on the ground and lifted the entire prison into the air, which is why the pirates below 'felt Haki and weightlessness'.

"Answer me!! What exactly are you three planning to do to Impel?!"

Seeing that the other party completely ignored his question, Magellan was both anxious and angry. He immediately roared and stood up, releasing a massive amount of venom with all his might, forming a huge red skeletal venomous man.

"Poisonous Giant Soldier - Judgment of Hell!!"

The poisonous man crawled on all sides, venom surging from all directions. With empty eyes and a silent maw, he attacked Shiki, Kaido, and Big Mom.

however……

"Still not giving up?"

It was unclear which of the three spoke these words in the most indifferent tone, but immediately three attacks were launched at the poisoner.

"Shishi Wei·Gosho Scroll!!"

"King Kong - Dysprout!!"

"Flame of the Blade Mother!!"

The air controlled by the 'Float-Float Fruit', the entanglement attack unleashed by Pigsy, and the fiery slash combined by Prometheus and Napoleon all struck the red poison man simultaneously.

Bang! ! !

The poisonous man was instantly blasted apart by these three terrifying energies, his venom splattering everywhere, but not a single drop landed in front of the three men.

However, after scattering the poisonous man, the combined attack did not weaken. Instead, it rushed straight towards Magellan, the creator of the poisonous man, and struck his body head-on!

boom!!!

"Cough—!"

Another heavy thud followed, then a shrill scream echoed through the air. The tall, dark figure flew out like a cannonball, instantly piercing dozens of meters into the air, carving a long, thick trench in the solid stone floor, and finally embedding itself heavily into the wall, where it remained motionless.

"Let's go! To Marineford!!"

"Turn the world upside down!!"

Chapter 976 Marineford War: The Pirate Alliance Makes a Dazzling Debut

Suddenly, a large bulge appeared on the calm sea surface.

Splash!

Accompanied by the sound of rushing water, the large bag emerged from the sea, revealing its true form: a simple sailboat with a pirate flag bearing three skulls.

"Hehehehe!!!"

Blackbeard stood at the bow of the ship, arms crossed, laughing triumphantly at the expected marines guarding the area: "Foolish marines, you didn't expect us to launch a surprise attack on Impel Down this way, did you?!"

"Brothers, get ready... uh...??"

The command to start the battle abruptly stopped.

Blackbeard gaped, his few remaining teeth trembling slightly, his eyes staring in disbelief at the empty ground before him, his mind filled with questions.

Who am I? Where am I? What happened here?

What about that huge Impel Down on this island?

The scene before my eyes was utterly unbelievable. Impel Down, which was supposed to be built like an impregnable fortress, had vanished without a trace, leaving only bare ground and scattered debris.

Besides that, there wasn't even a single naval soldier!

"What on earth happened here?!"

Impel Down is a prison built of seastone. It has no magnetic field of its own, but it has a 'permanent pointer' because it is built on an island.

Shiki only took the prison, not the island, so when Blackbeard arrived here following the Perpetual Pose, all that was left was an empty island.

Therefore, Blackbeard suffered a huge loss on this trip!

……

On the other side, Marineford.

At noon, escorted by soldiers, 'Fire Fist' Ace walked step by step onto the execution platform.

"Portcus D. Ace, state your father's name!"

"...My father is Whitebeard!!"

"No!! Back then... your father's name was... 'Pirate King' Gol D. Roger!!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Sengoku revealed Ace's true identity to the world, explaining why Ace had evaded the Navy's search, why he hadn't harmed Ace all these years, and why he was now willing to offend Whitebeard to execute Ace.

The 100,000 navy personnel in the square were in an uproar, while the live Den Den Mushi, with its eyes fixed on the execution platform, broadcast this earth-shattering news to the whole world.

Unfortunately, since the news that "Roger had a child" had already been published in the newspapers some time ago, the public reaction was not particularly strong. What they were more concerned about was the veracity of the claim that "Ace was Roger's child."

"That 'Fire Fist' is Roger's son? Really...?"

"The Navy didn't just send us any random pirate, did they?"

"Whitebeard and Roger were fierce rivals back then! How could he possibly adopt Roger's child?"

"Do you guys remember? The news of 'Fire Fist Ace's arrest' and 'Roger having a child' broke out only one day apart. So it's entirely possible that the Navy used someone as a scapegoat to cover up their incompetence!!"

"I see!! Now that you explain it that way, the logic suddenly makes perfect sense!!!"

"The navy is getting darker and darker! Are they actually planning to deceive the world with a lie to cover up their incompetence over the past 20 years?! I am ashamed of this behavior!!"

"Incompetence is not terrible; what is terrible is being clearly incompetent yet refusing to admit your mistakes and even lying to cover them up! Can such behavior be called 'justice'?!"

"In that case, 'Fire Fist' Ace is quite pitiful. Before he died, the Navy forced him to be the son of someone he had never even met. It's an absolute disgrace!!"

"You're carrying someone else's coffin back to your own home to mourn! He's just a mere pirate, what's there to pity him for? Is he your father?"

"Speaking of which, countless pirates on the high seas would love to be Roger's son. For people in their profession, that must be an honor, right?"

"I don't understand why anyone would want to be the son of the 'Pirate King'? Is it to legally inherit the One Piece? If I could, I'd want to too..."

For a time, people all over the world engaged in a heated debate about Ace's identity.

Due to the scandal of 'recruiting supernovas to become Shichibukai' that broke a few days ago, the Navy's reputation is now extremely poor, making them reluctant to believe that Ace is Roger's son.

Even if people in this world have seen all sorts of strange and unusual people and things, it is hard to believe that someone can be pregnant for 20 months before giving birth, let alone a weak woman who is completely helpless.

Navy soldiers certainly wouldn't question things like outsiders. Even if they had doubts, they wouldn't hide them on their faces and wouldn't say them out loud. But the Seven Warlords of the Sea are different.

In particular, Doflamingo, who loves watching the drama unfold, and Moria, the silly, fat otaku, found themselves in a rare common ground.

The psychological changes of these people below naturally did not escape the eyes of the Warring States. He had actually anticipated this situation, but he was powerless to do anything about it.

First, the mistake was indeed made by the Navy due to negligence back then; second, what he said is true; third, exposing this matter will indeed dampen the arrogance of pirates to some extent.

Because the Warring States period upheld the principle of justice that ruled the world!

What he wants to do is to eliminate all pirates in a fair and square manner, and to engrave the word 'justice' in the hearts of everyone in the world through upright and honorable means!

Finally, just before the discussion reached its peak, the sea began to ripple, a dark shadow appeared in the harbor, and then, to the surprise of the sailors, the ship leaped like a fish.

The Whitebeard Pirates have officially made their debut!

The next moment, in front of 100,000 marines, Whitebeard and Ace chatted like an ordinary father and son, putting on a show of filial piety for the world. This made the viewers of the live broadcast even more skeptical of the marines' statements.

Just as everyone in front of the screen was preparing lunch—sunflower seeds, fruit, desserts, fried chicken, hamburgers, ice cream, donuts, and hot tea—intending to enjoy the grand war while eating, a strange change suddenly occurred in the skies above Marineford!

A huge shadow covered half the square, shielding the naval soldiers who stood ramrod straight from the midday sun.
