One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

Chapter 257 Clouds move in all directions

A certain day in the year 1520 of the Haiyuan calendar.

It was an ordinary morning as usual, with overwhelming numbers of news birds hanging news bags full of newspapers and flying towards the sea.

This sea, which had been silent for 20 years since the death of Pirate King Roger, once again set off new waves.

Newspapers were sold one after another, and ordinary people scattered across the Grand Route and the four seas were horrified when they saw the news in the newspapers.

After reading the contents of the newspaper repeatedly, some exaggerated people directly took out a magnifying glass and read each word carefully.

However, no matter how they read it, they got the same information.

"The Navy will publicly execute members of the Whitebeard Pirates, Fire Fist Ace and Foil Sword Bista, in Marineland in seven days."

Even the most ordinary people on the sea know what this means. Whitebeard, who was revered as the strongest man in the world, would never let the navy execute his son. A war of unprecedented scale was just around the corner.

New world, Whitebeard Sea.

Nearly a hundred large pirate ships with different appearances surrounded the Moby-Dick, waiting for Captain Whitebeard's orders.

In the middle of the huge whale boat, the healthy white beard took a newspaper and read it, then handed it to An beside him.

"Gu la la la, that old guy from the Warring States Period has already started, what should we do?"

Knowing that he couldn't outsmart his deputy captain in terms of using his brain, Whitebeard simply didn't bother to take care of it and left all the power to the other person.

Looking at Ace's handsome smile in the newspaper, An lit a flame on his fingertips and burned it to ashes. He turned to Marco beside him and asked, "Have the newly delivered weapons been installed?"

Hearing the other party's inquiry, Marco nodded, indicating that everything was installed.

"Now that the preparations are complete, let's set off directly! Don't let the navy wait too long."

Holding the supreme sharp knife Cong Yunqie in one hand, Whitebeard walked to the bow of the ship, his chest swelled with a huge magnetic voice floating on the sea.

"The Whitebeard Pirates set out to target the Navy Headquarters and rescue our families!!"

"Let's go! Rescue Captain Ace!"

"..."

Continuous shouts sounded, and the Moby Dick took the lead and sailed towards the distant red earth continent.

New World, Wano Country, Onigashima.

Jhin in a black leather jacket walked out of the door and woke up Kaido who was in a drunken state.

"Brother Kaido, I just received the news that the Whitebeard Pirates have set off."

"Cuckoo!"

Taking a swig of wine, Kaido laughed loudly, "That old guy with white beard is still as stupid as ever, but he is really courageous!"

"Jin asked my men to continue to pay attention to this matter and notify me immediately if there are any changes."

New world, Torrant Sea Cake Island.

In a palace with a sweet atmosphere, the obese Big Mom is eating cakes. A ferocious big mouth dripping purple saliva from time to time, giving people a strong visual impact.

"MOM, the Whitebeard Pirates are about to clash with the navy, and they will not be able to take care of Impel Down. Please let me lead people to rescue Owen."

Next to Big Mom, Katakusu, who is tall and has short amaranth hair, made suggestions.

"Well, well, Katakusu, then you take Dafu to Impel Down City, rescue those useless guys from Owen, and remember to bring back some powerful pirates along the way."

In the eyes of Big Mom, children are simply tools to maintain rule. She will not be like that old guy Whitebeard, who would join the entire pirate group for a few so-called sons.

New World, Red Forth.

Shanks, who had just finished the banquet, saw the news and immediately woke up his sleeping partners around him.

"Beckman, inform all crew members to prepare to go to sea. Let's go to Kaido's territory."

The Great Route, Kraigana Island.

This island is surrounded by sword energy and is filled with bottomless hills and ravines.

Deep in the island, a man wearing a top hat and a short beard was holding a black cross sword and competing with others in swordsmanship.

"Qiang——!"

The two black blades collided in the air, splashing out a large number of sparks. The man looked like an eagle under his hat, and his sharp eyes showed a hint of appreciation.

These days of swordsmanship competitions have made him very fond of this female swordsman. Whether it is her exquisite swordsmanship or her pure swordsmanship like his own, she is the opponent of his dreams.

With a little force in his arm, he swung away Kuina's Jiyue. Hawkeye put away the black knife and left his back to the opponent, and walked towards the castle in the distance.

"You should be not far from your breakthrough. Let's compete again when you reach the realm of great swordsman. I will always be waiting for you at the number one position in the world."

"In addition, I have some news for you. Your partner Firefist Ace will be publicly executed in Malinfando in seven days. If you want to save him, you'd better leave quickly."

Just when the world was turbulent, Luffy and others took the Sonny to their last stop in the first half of the Grand Line, the Shampoo Islands.

"Luffy! Come out and see, the Shampoo Islands are so interesting!"

Usopp and Chopper, the three members of the Straw Hats, were half floating on the side of the ship, looking at the colorful Chambord Islands, and shouted loudly towards the captain's cabin.

"Stop yelling! Luffy doesn't have time to come out until he's finished calculating this month's expenses!"

Nami's head poked out of the window, angrily scolding the two of them, while the black branch in her hand kept hitting Luffy's head.

"Hey! It hurts!"

While Luffy was immersed in his calculations, he regretted why he had to show off on the Sky Island in the first place, which had brought him to this point.

A quarter of an hour later.

"It's over!"

To calculate some daily living expenses, Luffy used simple mathematical formulas, three times five times and two times to solve the problem.

With white smoke rising from his feet, Luffy lay on the side of the ship like Usopp and Chopper, admiring the beauty of the Sabaody Islands.

"Hey! Robin, why is there a big piece missing there?"

Curious, Luffy pointed to the original Area 1.

"Luffy, don't you know? That was caused by An's battle with Admiral Akainu two years ago!"

"Ah! Is it my sister's fault? It's such a pity that I didn't see my sister fight with my own eyes."

Amid Luffy's regret, the Sonny slowly docked in Area 16.

"Hey! Everyone, it's time for free time!"

Just when Luffy and others were about to split up, Rayleigh suddenly appeared in front of everyone wearing a white cloak.

"Luffy, now is not the time to play, come with me!"

Along the way, he led everyone around and around, passing through several alleys, and arrived in front of a brand new "Xia Qi's Knocking Bamboo Bar".

"Go in and talk!"

Pushing open the brand new fence door, Xia Qi and Xiaoba were waiting inside the tavern.

"Luffy, look at this!"

A brand new newspaper was pushed from the table to Luffy.

With doubts in his eyes, Luffy picked up the newspaper and then flew towards the outside, shouting loudly: "Don't stop me, I'm going to save Ace."

Luffy looks stupid, but he can also be smart sometimes. In a public execution like this, Ace will really die.

Just like the Pirate King Roger back then!

After what happened to Sabo, Luffy swore in his heart that he would never watch Ace die in front of him again!
