I, Hikaru Uchiha, join the chat group

On Nine Snake Island at this moment.

It's already an all-star lineup——

Almost all members of the "Dimension Pirates" headed by Bulma are present.

Whitebeard himself of the Whitebeard Group, as well as squad leaders such as Marco and Vista, were also present.

They were transported in directly from outside by Minato Namikaze using the Flying Thunder God. Even the Modibik was brought in without anyone noticing - this is where the Flying Thunder God is superior to the Shangri-La. Theoretically, as long as the chakra is sufficient, Minato Namikaze can even transport the Ten-Tails' Tailed Beast Ball, so teleporting a pirate group is no problem.

This move surprised Whitebeard and others, and they began to beg Minato Namikaze to help rescue Ace.

Naturally, Minato Namikaze agreed readily.

Also.

Rayleigh and the three main forces of the Straw Hat Pirates also drifted over from the Sabaody Archipelago.

——Luffy, Zoro and others have been training with Rayleigh during this period. According to Uchiha Hikaru's original intention, he wanted to exclude them from the plan, but Ace's information has been publicly announced by the World Government, so they still followed.

In general.

This time, the lineup of pirates is more than three or four times more luxurious than in the original work.

As for the World Government...

"During this period, I have released dozens of drones and hundreds of nanorobots to various areas of Marijoa to gather intelligence. From the results of the investigation, it can be seen that the navy has summoned a large number of mid- and high-end combat forces, and even some retired generals from all over the world. In addition, the Seven Warlords of the Sea are now all gathered near Marijoa."

"In addition, the World Government seems to have secretly mobilized several troops. According to Mr. Whitebeard's guess, they should be the 'God's Knights', the Navy Science Corps, the Navy Titan Corps, and those secret agent organizations that begin with CP...

"Even the Five Elders, who are the representatives of the World Government, may join this battle."

"The above is the basic situation of the enemy."

It was Bulma who spoke.

After not seeing him for a while, the intelligence network of this "Captain of Dimension" has apparently become something that cannot be underestimated.

She even made a 3D troop distribution map and projected it in the makeshift conference room, leaving Marco and others stunned as they had never seen such high-tech technology.

Uchiha Hikaru also watched for a while and asked casually: "Where is Lord Im? Is there any movement from that guy?"

Bulma shook her head: "I'm not sure... If you hadn't mentioned it before, Xiaoguang, I wouldn't have known that this person existed. And during this period of investigation, we haven't found his whereabouts or whereabouts."

"Ok."

Also.

Lord Im in the original One Piece is a very mysterious guy. Even the 2024 One Piece has never revealed his true appearance and abilities, not to mention the 2009 version that Bulma saw from the Dragon World. In theory, even if Im showed up, Bulma might not recognize him.

“…Gulala, it looks like this is going to be a tough battle.”

Whitebeard was the first to burst into laughter: "When I was on the Rocks ship, I had witnessed the strength of those Five Elders. Now, thanks to Miss Kikyo and Miss Tamayo, my current state is almost the same as when I was young. When the time comes, I will lead the way for you!"

This statement is actually a bit exaggerated.

Although the "Demonization Potion" had indeed been used by Kikyo and Tamayo on Whitebeard, due to the short time of clinical trials, only a diluted version was used on Whitebeard. So although his condition recovered a little, he only looked 3 to 5 years younger, which was far from the past when he was as famous as Roger.

But...

Such strength is enough to make opponents of the level of Akainu and the Five Elders suffer severely.

"Then it's decided."

After a brief discussion, Uchiha Hikaru stood up and made a closing statement:

"Leave the Five Elders to Esdeath and Yamato, Akainu to Mr. Whitebeard, Garp to Luffy, and the remaining vice admirals and the Seven Warlords of the Sea to Mr. Rayleigh and the Whitebeard Pirates... Oh, and Hancock is one of us, and she'll turn against us and help us when the time comes."

"As for me, I will be responsible for coordinating the actions in the middle and guarding against Lord Yimu's personal attack."

"……it is good."

Rayleigh, Marco and others whose names were mentioned had no objection.

Only two people showed strange expressions——

One is Luffy: "Huh? I hit my grandfather?"

At this time, Luffy was at most a vice admiral, maybe even worse. If he really had to fight against an admiral, it would be considered an extraordinary performance if he could last for ten minutes. But Garp... would probably give his grandson some slack, so it shouldn't be a problem to deal with him in a short period of time.

The other is Bulma.

"Xiao Guang, what about me?"

Bulma looked around, raised her hand cautiously and said, "Although I may not be able to help much, I should have no problem dealing with some ordinary navy!"

"Well..."

Uchiha Hikaru coughed lightly and said, "For such a small situation, there is no need for you to personally handle it yourself, Captain... Just leave it to us."

"Oh……"

Bulma agreed reluctantly.

……

As the final preparation before the war.

After discussing with Bulma, Uchiha Hikaru specially opened the gravity training room on the Blue Planet for the Whitebeard Group and Rayleigh to use. She took Esdeath with her and ran to the depths of the sea to test the actual combat capability of "Strike Freedom 2.0".

Wait until the third morning.

The group finally gathered again, and then boarded the "Blue Planet" and "Modibic" and sailed towards the naval headquarters.

the other side.

The naval headquarters in the holy land of Marijoa is already crowded with people.

Thousands of naval elites were scattered throughout the Navy City, and the Five Elders and Seven Warlords of the Sea also came to the scene. This scene was transmitted to all parts of the New World centered on Marijoa through countless reporters' photos and television broadcasts.

——According to the World Government's request, the primary purpose of this public execution is to establish authority in the entire pirate community and even the world, so the importance of these news media is even higher than that of the navy officers. However, this is also a double-edged sword, because if the authority fails, the consequences may be disastrous...

Considering that Kizaru and Aokiji's injuries have not yet fully healed.

So this time, the people sitting in the positions of the three admirals became Sengoku, Garp and Akainu.

The three of them are basically the highest combat power that the navy can currently produce.

Among them, Garp was not very willing to stay in this position. He fought to stop others from killing Ace, whom he regarded as his grandson. However, due to the repeated persuasion of Sengoku and Marshal Kong, as well as the pressure from the World Government, he had no choice but to do it.

As for the Warring States Period...

He was already over sixty years old, and it was time for him to work hard, and this was also his duty as a Marine Admiral. The one who took his place in the Marine Castle and took on the responsibility of looking at the overall situation was the former Marine Admiral and current Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Kong Gang.

“…It’s about time.”

"Those two pirate groups should be showing up soon."

Sengoku glanced at Sora, who was sitting high up, and then glanced at his old friend Garp, who was sitting next to him with a gloomy face. He then picked up the Den Den Mushi beside him and spoke slowly: "Attention everyone, from now on, maintain the highest level of alert. Once the Blue-haired Witch and Whitebeard appear, immediately launch a capture operation..."

The voice just fell.

A powerful momentum erupted from the sea right in front of the Navy Headquarters.

——The King's Haki!!

The domineering aura from a Four Emperors-level warrior was even more shocking than the aura that Yamato had shown in front of Aokiji. Even though they were still several miles apart, most of the navy felt their entire bodies tremble. Officers above the rank of captain were better off, but some of the ordinary soldiers who were timid had their weapons dropped from their hands, drawing angry rebukes from the officers nearby.

On the execution platform.

Sengoku and Akainu both took two steps forward, the latter with an eager expression on his face.

"Is that Whitebeard and the fleet of the 'Blue-haired Witch' who defeated Aokiji and Kizaru? I can't wait to bring justice to them. A pirate group like this will only end in death!"

As he spoke, Akainu had already jumped off the execution platform and was striding towards the coast.

Under the gaze of Sengoku, Garp, and everyone present.

Two large ships, one in the sky and one in the sea, appeared in front of the view as if they had fallen from the sky. As the distance between the two sides gradually shortened, Whitebeard on the deck suddenly raised his arms and swung the naginata in his hand. The power from the Tremor-Tremor Fruit exploded at this moment, turning into a tsunami that rose into the sky and swept towards the shore!

"...Everyone, pay attention, enemy attack!!!"

The navy had already roared at the top of their lungs.

This tactic of using the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to create a tsunami in order to take preemptive action was also done by Whitebeard in the original work, but it failed because Aokiji froze the sea surface.

Now, Aokiji is not present.

It was Akainu who jumped out from the crowd and used the "Big Fire Breathing" move. Flames burst out from his fists and turned into a large number of volcanic bombs, which erupted forward at this moment and collided with the huge waves surging on the sea!

boom--! ! !

Amidst the deafening roar, blazing flames collided with layers of tsunamis, unleashing a momentum like Mars hitting the Earth.

In just a dozen seconds, water and fire merged, and a huge amount of water vapor was swept up by gusts of wind and exploded in all directions. In addition, some water that had not been completely evaporated also turned into raindrops, which sprinkled and fell all around, forming a torrential downpour of scorching hot water!

These "raindrops" made up of sea water will have a weakening effect on ordinary people with special abilities.

However, for strong people like Whitebeard and Akainu, there are many ways to avoid it.

"……snort!"

Whitebeard snorted coldly and swung his sword again.

At this moment, he didn't know that the person in front of him was the one who forced him to death in another timeline. He just looked at Akainu's murderous face and instinctively felt unhappy. Therefore, he used all his strength when swinging the knife.

In an instant, a brilliant sword light tore through the sky and flew straight towards the direction where Akainu was!

"kill!"

Faced with this sword that was even more shocking than the one in the original work, Akainu did not dodge or evade, but instead used his Armament Haki to fight back with all his might.

Hawkeye, who was standing on another high platform, narrowed his eyes slightly, and paused for a moment when he was about to draw his sword and try to strike.

"…Is this an illusion? Whitebeard seems to be even stronger than the last time I saw him?"

Doflamingo next to him wore sunglasses and smiled from ear to ear: "Fuffuffuff, the duel between the admirals and the Four Emperors was a wonderful show. I wonder where the guys from the 'Dimensional Pirates' are. The fifth emperor of the sea with a bounty of 40 billion is really something I want to see with my own eyes."

In just a few moments.

The distance between the two sides has been shortened to over a hundred meters.

At this time, Whitebeard took a sudden step and jumped off the bow of the "Modibic", like a giant who split mountains and seas in mythology, and killed Akainu on the shore.

Marco, Diamond Joz and others quickly followed, the former approached Whitebeard, wanting to help pick up his father; while the latter fought with the navy's vice admirals such as Doberman and Spider Demon, as well as the remaining non-commissioned officers.

Gekko Moriah wanted to join the battle, but was blocked by Rayleigh.

In this chaos.

Uchiha Hikaru activated "Shangri-La" in mid-air, a teleportation array, and teleported Esdeath, Yamato, Namikaze Minato and others around him, as well as Luffy who was specially prepared as the "Garp Killer", directly to the execution platform in front of the Navy City.

"?!"

This scene happened suddenly, even Sengoku and Garp, two admiral-level fighters, were stunned for a moment and failed to react immediately.

Then, Minato Namikaze grabbed the shoulders of Ace, who was tied up, and launched the "Flying Thunder God".

"Whoosh".

The two men disappeared on the execution platform, and appeared on the "Blue Planet" in mid-air the next second.

"?!!"

Garp and Sengoku were stunned.

So...fast?

From beginning to end, they didn't even get a clear look at Minato Namikaze's height and appearance. They only saw the cloak on his body that was similar to that of a navy admiral, and a few large characters written on it, which seemed to be... "The Fourth Hokage"?

what does that mean?

Click——

Uchiha Hikaru stretched his neck, glanced casually at Garp and Sengoku, and then whispered to the people next to him:

"The rescue mission has been completed ahead of schedule, so next... let's prepare to make a big scene here!"
