Chapter 416: Marineford, the Great War Begins |
Marineford.
Seeing that Luffy is about to arrive here.
Sengoku does not intend to delay any longer.
He first summoned all the marines, including Seven Warlords, to gather in the square. Then he ordered someone to take Ace in the detention center to the towering execution platform at the end of the square.
Immediately afterwards, he also came to the execution platform, beside Ace.
"Give me the phone bug..." After receiving the phone bug from broadcast and speaker, Sengoku continued, "I have something to explain to you all. Portgas D Ace, about this man, it is very important to die here today... and that significance-! Ace, please tell me your father's name..."
"My dad is Whitebeard!"
"No!"
"No mistake! Only Whitebeard! No one else!"
"Your father is the Pirate King! Gol D. Roger!!"
The voice just fell.
There was a loud noise in the audience.
However, Sengoku didn't mean to stop, and continued: "It happened two years ago... You used your mother's name, and as the captain of the Spade Pirates, you used your superpower and speed to gallop across the sea. At that time, we finally realized that Roger's bloodline has not been cut off! However, Whitebeard, who noticed this at the same time as us, in order to train you to become the next Pirate King, did not hesitate to let a child who was once his opponent board his own pirate ship..."
"No! No! I got on that ship to make Dad the Pirate King!!!"
"It's only you who think so. In fact, we couldn't attack you at will in the past because you were protected by Whitebeard!! If we just ignore it like this, you will definitely display the apex of the next generation of pirates! So it is of great significance to go to your head here today! We will not hesitate to break out an all-out war with Whitebeard!!"
The audience once again made a deafening noise.
Nearly 100,000 marines all roared out their aura!
At this moment, under the execution platform, a marine came to salute and reported: "Admiral Sengoku! There is a report!! Without receiving any instructions from anyone, the Gate of Justice opened!! And the power room cannot be contacted!!"
The voice just fell.
The huge door that blocked the entire Marineford opened slowly with a rumbling sound.
Immediately afterwards, everyone saw that there were a large number of pirate warships galloping in this direction outside the door.
They are all forces under the command of Whitebeard.
Seeing this, the marines at the bottom have a tendency to mess up their positions.
"Are we going to attack?!"
"Wait a second! Whitebeard must be nearby! He must be planning something!"
"Pay attention to the sea!!"
Marineford is a sea town that resembles a crescent moon.
So, when the door of justice is opened, this circular sea area is connected to the sea outside.
When the cry of "attention to the sea" was uttered.
Soon, many bubbles suddenly appeared in this circular sea area, which was relatively calm at first. Immediately afterwards, Whitebeard's Moby Dick appeared in the waters of the bay like a whale coming out of the water.
Immediately following, there are three other battleships of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Four warships were arranged in a 'cross' formation, confronting marines from all directions.
"Gurarara! My dear boy, it's all right! Wait for me, Ace..."
"Dad!!!"
Seeing Whitebeard standing on the bow of the Moby Dick, who still looks full of vigor, Fleet Admiral Sengoku couldn't help showing an ugly look.
Whitebeard grinned grinningly and said, "Sengoku, why bother pretending to be ignorant?"
Sengoku's face was gloomy: "I don't know what you're talking about..."
"Gurarara! Your marine is still so hypocritical, daring to act... Is your purpose this time really Ace? The World Government and the Revolutionary Army have already provoked a full-scale war. Your marine is be an idiot to choose to provoke me right now."
The marines at the bottom are all at a loss.
They don't know what Whitebeard is talking about.
The faces of those who knew it turned black, after all, this matter is indeed somewhat disgraceful. But in order to reduce the sacrifice, they had to.
"Since you already know, why come?"
"Gurarara! Sorry, although your behavior makes me feel very contemptible, I will not participate in your crap because of this! But... this does not mean that I can tolerate you using my child! I don't feel at ease in entrusting my child's life to your hands!"
After finishing speaking, Whitebeard hit two heavy blows on both sides of him.
The air on both sides was cracked by him on the spot.
Immediately after.
The sea water on both sides of Marineford suddenly turned into huge waves.
No, it should not be said to be a huge wave!
It is more appropriate to say that it is a tsunami!
The tsunami on both sides has the tendency to destroy Marineford with one blow!
...
Below the execution platform.
Three admirals, Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru, sat respectively.
Their faces are not very pretty.
They are not as calm as in the original book. After all, even they are struggling with the current situation in the world. At this time, Akainu said, who had been silent for a long time, "Is that guy Li Yaoxiang planning to do nothing?"
The voice just fell.
A marine hurried over with a phone bug in hand: "Report to Admiral Akainu, Admiral Kizaru, and Admiral Aokiji! Calling Admiral Li Yaoxiang is connected!"
Akainu took the phone bug.
Li Yaoxiang's lazy voice came from the other end of the phone: "What's the matter? Do you need me?"
Akainu said in a deep voice: "Li Yaoxiang, you have reached this point, don't you plan to join the war?"
Li Yaoxiang: "I'm misunderstood~ Admiral Akainu, didn't I already say it earlier? I was seriously injured in the battle against Monkey D. Garp~ It's not that I don't want to help, but that I really have no power~"
Akainu was so angry that he crushed the phone bug.
Needless to say, Aokiji and Kizaru beside him also knew that Li Yaoxiang's answer was not ideal.
Seeing the huge waves on both sides, which were about to hit Marineford, Aokiji no longer sat idly by.
He dodged and suddenly appeared in mid-air.
Stretch your hands to the left and right sides respectively.
Two ice picks extended from his hands, reaching directly to the tsunami.
When the ice cone touched the tsunami, the tsunami instantly formed two icebergs.
The surrounding temperature dropped to the extreme in a moment.
The war is about to start!
Both attacked each other.
The marine side is desperately trying not to let the pirates land.
The pirates tried their best to attack the shore.
The scene was chaotic.
Aokiji stopped the attack of the tsunami, and shot a few ice spears at Whitebeard with his backhand. With a casual blow from Whitebeard, not only did the ice spear shatter into pieces, but even the green pheasant, which was made of ice, was also shattered into pieces and fell to the surface of the sea.
When the ice was about to touch the sea surface, Aokiji turned into a human again and froze the entire circular sea area in the bay into ice!
The pirates set foot on the ice one after another, attacking the marine.
Marine also welcomes the pirates' offensive.
At this time, the vice admirals began to act.
Seven Warlords also acted.
Hawk Eyes was the first to attack.
Hawk Eyes cut off with a single swing of his sword.
The shock wave of this sword cut a long crack along with the bottom of the ice, and went straight to Whitebeard.
There was a loud bang.
The person who greeted the world's number one slasher was the captain of the third division under Whitebeard, a person with the ability of Twinkle Devil Fruit, Diamond Jozu.
It's not over yet.
Kizaru couldn't sit still anymore.
He also fired countless luminous waves at Whitebeard.
What greeted him was a blue flame!
The captain of the first team under Whitebeard, the Phoenix Devil Fruit ability user, Marco!
The two directly fought together.
Kizaru was hit by Marco and smashed into the ground, but he himself was not injured. Quickly recovering his real body, he turned his head and said: "Giant troops, pay attention to the sky too."
The troop of giants answered yes.
Then a whole row of giants put on a posture, trying to make a move.
Diamond Jozu was not to be outdone, turned around and pulled out a huge ice block that was one-third the size of Marineford, and threw it at the crowd of giants.
The giant looked small in an instant in front of the ice.
This time it was Akainu's turn to make the move.
Akainu casted the giant lava dog and punched the giant ice cube.
Immediately afterwards, while the giant ice cube was melting and evaporating, the wave of attacks by Akainu was still not over. That giant lava fist disintegrated into countless pieces, and smashed towards the direction of Whitebeard's camp like a meteor shower.
The next step is the debut of Little Oars Jr.
That is, the Oars family that is dozens of times bigger than the giants.
With his huge stature, he still became a target on the field.
Still made use of his own sacrifice, using his body as a bridge, allowing his partners to step over him to help everyone get ashore.
Things have developed to this point, and they are almost the same as the original.
The battle between the two sides is getting more and more intense.
It's just that when the battle was about to fall into a fever, a huge golden ship suddenly flew from the distant sky.
The low-level personnel who are fighting didn't notice at all.
But those bigwigs could not help but stop, and looked at the golden ship that was getting closer and closer.
Whitebeard and Sengoku have very ugly faces.
Whitebeard mistakenly thought this was the backhand of the Sengoku.
Similarly, Sengoku thought this was Whitebeard's backhand.
The two sides just watched the golden ship flying quietly.
Vigilance has been raised to the extreme.
Until the golden ship floated directly above Marineford, and there was a cry from the golden ship: "Ace~~~~!! I finally see you!!"
Ace on the execution platform was startled: "Luffy?!!"
"I'm here to save you~~~!!"
After saying this sentence, Luffy led Zoro, Sanji, Arlong, Jinbe, Okama King and other members, and jumped off the golden ship.
Now.
The faces of both parties finally changed.
Whitebeard's serious face gradually revealed a smile.
On the other hand, the marine's faces were extremely ugly.
"Damn!! That's Monkey D. Luffy?!"
"Who can tell me why he has such a powerful influence? Why didn't we receive any news beforehand?!"
Akainu: "Mistake, we seriously miscalculated Monkey D. Luffy's strength."
Kizaru: "..."
Aokiji: "..."
Sengoku: "..."
Akainu: "In this case, don't worry about capturing alive or not. Catch or kill them on the spot! Then go to assist the World Government and wipe out the Revolutionary Army in one fell swoop before the pirates have time to react. End this war!"
Kazuru and Aokiji looked back at Sengoku at the same time.
Seeing that Sengoku did not refute, he knew that Sengoku acquiesced to Akainu's statement.
The two of them stopped talking, and followed Akainu and swooped towards Luffy and the others.
The three admirals attacked a large area with one strike by one person.
In an instant, Luffy and the others, who were about to fall beside Ace, smashed into Impel Down wall in a corner of Marineford.
In an instant.
Countless buildings were smashed.
Smoke and dust billowed.
When the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, they saw Luffy and his party stand up one by one from the smoke, dust and gravel, showing their whole picture in front of everyone.
Luffy stood at the forefront, clapped his fists, and said excitedly: "Finally, there are some decent opponents."
Zoro opened his closed eyes suddenly: "After this battle...it'll be the end."
Sanji crushed out the cigarette butt with his toes: "Stop talking so much nonsense, I can't wait to see the scene where the old man's right leg is healed..."
Arlong, Jinbe, Usopp, Buggy, etc.
No one was injured.
They all looked very excited.
It seems that they can't wait to join this feast.
As for Akainu and others, seeing that Luffy and the others were still unharmed after being hit by the three of them, the faces of the three couldn't help but cast a layer of gloom.
Seeing this, Whitebeard also laughed heartily: "Gurarara! Ace, it seems that you have underestimated your brother's strength——."
Immediately after.
It was the pirates who cheered everywhere.
Morale becomes stronger.
On the other hand, the marine's faces were solemn.
Ace looked confused...
