One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.

There were still three and a half hours until the execution.

Within the heavily guarded and impregnable headquarters temporary prison, three solid black iron doors that separate the prison from the outside slowly rise. There was no extra decoration in the narrow room, and a brown bench stood alone in the middle.

Ace, who was bare-chested, had his hands tied behind his back by sea-floor stone handcuffs, and stared blankly at the ground.

"Ta-ta! Ta-ta!"

Slight footsteps sounded, and several experienced jailers transferred from Impel Down City walked over to Ace and squatted down slowly.

Unlock the chains that bound your body and legs, and the jailer commanded expressionlessly.

"stand up!"

One hand held the same long knife used to execute Pirate King Roger, and the other hand pulled hard on the other end of the chain, signaling Ace to put on his shoes quickly.

Looking down at the shoes on the ground, Ace recalled his childhood in Windmill Village.

Within the narrow and long dark corridor, there is a fully armed jailer guarding every few steps to ensure that there will be no problems during the escort.

Walking towards the end step by step, there is a huge wooden door.

As Ace approached, the wooden door was slowly opened. Behind the wooden door was an endless stone staircase that went up.

With the push of the jailer, Ace lifted his steps and climbed up.

At the same time, under the double propaganda of the World Government and the Navy, the influence phone bugs distributed in Marinevando transmitted the picture to the entire world.

South China Sea.

On the street of a small town, a farmer selling food and his sad customers discussed the possibility of white beard appearing.

West Sea.

On a snowy island, the owner of the tavern was reprimanding several drunkards and hurriedly closed his shop.

North Sea.

An astonishing number of pirates gathered in the tavern, drinking beer and discussing Whitebeard's strength, each with different plans in mind.

The Grand Line.

A large number of residents left their homes and ran to the church in the town to pray that war would not break out.

East China Sea, Windmill Kingdom.

The scene of Malinfando is being broadcast in Liberty Square.

At the far back of the square, eight large warships slowly sailed into the port. A large number of soldiers from the kingdom wearing black military uniforms boarded the warships. Black smoke emitted from the thick iron pipe in the center of the ship and sailed into the distance.

Windmill Kingdom, Fishman Town.

Nearly a hundred strong fishmen bid farewell to their relatives, boarded the warship in front of them and headed towards the sea.

Above the azure sea, an extremely black and huge warship stood majestically. The black metal shimmered in the sun, releasing a heart-stopping power.

This black warship is much larger than other warships, and its size is close to half of a small island.

On the bow of the warship, a huge main gun stood upright, and its ferocious muzzle gave people a biting chill in the sun.

This warship is naturally owned by the Kingdom's Science Department, which used the blueprints of Pluto that An brought back two years ago and the craftsmen of the Seven Waters Capital to create a low-end version of Pluto.

On the day the warship was completed, Hiss personally came to witness its launching ceremony and named it the Liberty.

It means liberating freedom for ordinary people in this world.

On the deck of the Liberty, seven people, Yixiao, Healun, Thoros, Luo, Hill, Naz, and Eudora, stood on the bow. Behind them were several outstanding students from the elite training camp.

"Reporting to the commander! All fleets have been assembled and awaiting your instructions!"

"I know, please step back first!"

After the kingdom soldiers left, Heron, who was wearing a black suit and a black cloak with the word "Zhu" on his back, asked Thoros to take action.

One giant warship, eight large warships, 35 medium-sized warships, and a total of soldiers from the Windmill Kingdom began to leave the sea and fly towards the Red Earth Continent under the influence of the fluttering fruit.

These 44 warships can be said to be the strongest force in the Windmill Kingdom.

Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.

In the crescent-shaped harbor, Mars and Doreen stood beside a man, and behind the three were naval elites from the South China Sea.

This tall man with a kind face and always a smile on his face is none other than the Admiral "Chesterton" of the South China Sea.

"Mars, why didn't Major General Sally come to the headquarters?"

Since the admiral is the supreme commander of a sea area and his position is equivalent to that of a lieutenant general in the navy headquarters, Chesterton can call the other party by his first name.

"Chesterton, how have you considered my suggestion?"

"Having witnessed the cruelty of the Celestial Dragons with your own eyes, don't you still have unrealistic illusions about the groveling navy?"

Lighting the cigar in his mouth, Chesterton, who was only about forty but had snow-white hair, glanced at the other party.

"Mars, if what you say is true, I don't mind joining you, as long as you have the ability to prove it."

"Buzz-!!!"

Suddenly, just when the two were about to continue talking, a commotion came from the distance, and the navy, which had been neatly arranged, suddenly consciously opened a wide avenue.

"Hmm! That's..."

Sensing five powerful auras suddenly emerging from the square, Mars knew that only those lawless guys appeared at this time.

"Your Majesty the Shichibukai!"

"Huh? Where did that sloppy-looking black guy go?"

Mars glanced at Doflamingo and the others who were strutting through the middle of the navy and heading directly under the execution platform, but did not find Blackbeard.

Similarly, Lieutenant General Tsuru standing next to Gion was also the one who discovered this problem.

On the other side, with the appearance of the Shichibukai, three figures appeared in the sight of the marines halfway up the towering execution platform at the end of the square.

——Red, cyan, white! !

Three tall, strong figures sat with their legs crossed on chairs.

——[Akainu] Sakaski.

——[Kizaru] Porusalino.

——[Qing Pheasant] Kuzan.

The three most powerful marines are preparing to face the Whitebeard Pirates here.

An invisible aura spread out, giving the navy, which was already a little worried, a shot in the arm.

In the Chambord Islands, Zefa, who was ordered to evacuate the navy family members from the Marine Fando family area, was escorting them to the refuge ship near the Chambord Islands with the new battalion.

Due to their strength and physical condition, Zefa and these new recruits did not participate in this war.

"Teacher Zefa, will Whitebeard really come?"

Looking at the images transmitted outside by the phone bug, some recruits who were shocked by the navy's lineup asked with some suspicion.

"It will definitely come!"

Zefa stared at the scene in front of him intently, without turning his head, and answered the other party's question in the affirmative.

"You don't understand that man. He is different from other pirates. He has no desire for power or wealth. He only wants his own family."

"The Navy openly declared war on him and wanted to execute his family, and that guy would never turn a blind eye."

"So, he will definitely appear!"
