The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

As he spoke, he laughed and drank a large bowl of strong liquor.

This peaceful life, surrounded by his family and with his sons all around him, was the dream he sought when he set sail.

"Dad!!"

A somewhat hurried voice broke the peaceful and warm atmosphere.

......... ......... 0

A man engulfed in flames rushed towards them.

He clutched a newspaper tightly in his hand, his eyes filled with a deep-seated anger and worry.

"Dad, I want to go out to sea!!"

"What's wrong? Ace!?"

The lively atmosphere of the banquet suddenly froze as Whitebeard and the other squad leaders all turned their concerned gazes toward them.

"Has the World Government done something wicked to your brother Sabo again?!"

Marco, holding a glass of wine, walked over and asked in a serious tone.

The news that the World Government had captured Sabo had caused quite a stir, and they all knew about it.

However, no verdict was reached, and they all remained quietly waiting for news from the World Government.

Seeing Ace like this, it seems the matter has come to a conclusion.

"Ah, the World Government not only arrested Sabo, but they're going to do the same thing they did to me—publicly execute him!!!"

Ace's eyes blazed with fury as he uttered this conclusion through gritted teeth.

957 The movements of the Four Emperors, the Revolutionary Army's reaction!! The ill-fated Ace!

The words "public execution" were etched into Ace's very memory!

The World Government's previous actions towards him, and the sacrifices and casualties his father, his companions, and his brother Luffy all made to rescue him...

He remembered it all.

And now, Sabo has fallen to a similar state!

How could Ace possibly just stand by and accept this without any reaction?!

"I absolutely cannot tolerate this continuing to happen!!"

Ace clenched his fist, his tone incredibly firm and heavy:

"Sabo is my brother, I absolutely cannot stand by and do nothing about him!!"

The newspaper in his hand was passed around among the "993" members of the Whitebeard Pirates. After learning more about the details, the crew members on Whitebeard's ship immediately became excited:

"How shameless!"

"The World Government is resorting to such despicable tactics again?!"

The crowd erupted in curses again. They had all participated in the previous Marineford War, and they deeply understood what the World Government's actions would ultimately bring them.

As the crowd grew increasingly agitated, they couldn't help but instinctively glance at Ace.

In fact, since the establishment of the World Government, only three people have received the treatment of public execution.

One is Ace's father, the former Pirate King Gol D. Roger, and the other is Ace himself.

And this last one is still Ace's brother...

Yeah, Ace really had a tough time; he was unlucky and suffered a lot of misfortunes.

"no!"

"No matter what, we can't let the Ace brothers go alone!"

After everyone suppressed their thoughts, the atmosphere immediately became lively.

"During the Marineford War, Ace's brother also helped us a lot!!"

"He is also our benefactor!!!"

"Now that our benefactor is in trouble, how could we possibly stand idly by?!"

"Even though we're pirates, we still have our principles!!!"

A group of people were there, shouting and yelling with great enthusiasm.

"Everyone……"

Ace's eyes welled up with tears, and he couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Gula la la la la!!"

At that moment, a hearty laugh resounded through the sky:

"How could we not repay those who have been kind to us?!"

"We are the Whitebeard Pirates!!!"

"My sons, let's set sail!!!"

"oh!!!!"

~~~~~~~~~

The Grand Line, Peach Island, the Kamabakka Kingdom of the Okama Kingdom.

The Revolutionary Army established its new stronghold here, and naturally, they also received the latest news about Sabo.

"Sabot? Is he going to be publicly executed?!"

When the four commanders of the revolutionary army saw this intelligence, their expressions all turned serious.

"It seems the World Government is determined to make trouble for us."

Lindbergh, the Confederate army commander who resembled a Yodal, piloted a flying machine, flying erratically in mid-air.

"I don't know where they get the confidence to challenge us at a time like this!!"

The Eastern Army commander, Bello Betty, with his chest bare and a cigarette dangling from his bright red lips, adjusted his sunglasses and sneered.

"They're already overwhelmed enough with revolutions happening all over the seas, and then there are the Four Emperors and pirates of the New World, they're keeping them completely busy..."

The Union Army commander, Raven, wearing a mask, spoke in a barely audible voice:

"Are they desperate, trying to take us all down with them?!"

"But we can't leave Sabo unsaved!!"

The Western Army commander, Jasmine, with her enormous frame, hesitated and spoke in a worried tone:

"If he were to be publicly executed, the World Government would certainly deploy a large number of troops, making it even more difficult for them to contain this surging tide across the world."

"But then again~"

Lightning, the vice-captain of the Grand Line Army, held a wine glass and gently swirled it there.

"Even if Sabo is publicly executed, it will only slightly reverse the decline. On the contrary, it will only incite revolutionaries all over the world to oppose and resist even more!"

"Furthermore, the resistance they faced in publicly executing Sabo was considerable. From any perspective, the price they paid was far too high, completely disproportionate to the gains, making it a thankless and arduous task..."

"So what exactly are they trying to achieve?!"

"Maybe they want to wipe us all out in one fell swoop, hehe~!!"

Ivankov's enormous head rolled back and forth on the ground. "Let's wipe out all those who want to rescue Sabo and those who stand in the way of their rule in this battle!!"

"Do they really have such a huge appetite?!"

"However, this could also be an opportunity for us, who knows~"

A green whirlwind gently swayed, stirring up the rustling grass.

Dorrag's green robe came into everyone's view.

"From what I know so far, besides the fact that we are bound to participate in the war, the Whitebeard Pirates and the Straw Hat Pirates should also be preparing to intervene in this public execution."

Dragon said in a deep voice, "As for the Straw Hat Pirates, they can still call over other skilled fighters."

"The scale of this third or fourth wave is probably comparable to that of the original Marineford War!"

Has it really come to this?!

After hearing this, everyone's expressions turned serious.

However, immediately afterward, they glanced at Dragon, and a thought couldn't help but pop into their minds:

"Could this be considered the chieftain's first meeting with his son on the high seas?"

The relationship between Luffy and Dragon is, if not universally known, certainly common knowledge.

958 The three major naval factions, the World Government mobilizing its forces! An exceptionally delicate atmosphere!

They suddenly found themselves wanting to see their leader and son reunite and recognize each other.

The usually stern and cold leader, upon seeing his son at that moment, must have...

It would be a completely different scene then, wouldn't it?

Thus, the revolutionary army began to mobilize its members.

This time, the World Government is clearly aiming to completely eradicate them.

And this, in turn, might be their opportunity to completely overthrow the world government!

This battle is a true battle, one that will determine the future direction of the ocean!

At this moment, countless revolutionary soldiers were mobilized.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the sea...

"Is this yet another war that the World Government is about to launch?"

Inside a World Government base, the stench of blood began to gradually permeate the air.

As Shiryu wiped the thunder and rain from his hands, he muttered "20" to himself absentmindedly.

"This is actually quite interesting."

The crimson blade of Lei Yu's sword reflected Shiryu's face, who was smoking a cigar, and his eyes, filled with murderous intent and a cruel, bloodthirsty smile.

"Hahaha, it seems they really aren't afraid of death. Do they have some other tricks up their sleeves?"

Burgess waved his strong arms, laughing as he casually tossed a boulder aside.

"It seems the World Government is really going to get serious this time and unleash its full power, hehehe~"

Lafayette lightly twirled the brim of his hat, twirled his cane, and tapped his feet in a dance-like manner, a strange smile appearing on his pale face.

"No, no matter what, I, we will..."

Poison Q was weak and breathless, panting heavily.

"Everyone will follow the guidance of fate and participate in this battle."

Van Augur placed his beloved gun, the Thousand Six, on his shoulder and said with a melancholy expression.

"Muruhohoho, are we going to have another good fight with the World Government?!"

Katrina Depon licked her lips, while Basque Jotte, the "Big Barrel," kept burping beside her.

"Thump thump thump, let's, hiccup, have a good, big fuss, hiccup!!"

The war that belongs to this gang of scoundrels is only just beginning!

Meanwhile, inside a dark, European-style castle.

"Is another war about to break out?"

An elegant nobleman gently stroked the blooming blue rose on his chest, which, combined with his bright red robe, made him stand out.

"The world is really quite unstable these days."
