The New World, the Whitebeard Pirates, aboard the Moby Dick.

Whitebeard's face was gloomy, his eyes filled with murderous intent, and his hand gripped the newspaper tightly.

"The Five Admirals? That old man Sengoku is really capable!"

His tone was very cold, and it seemed that the Navy was determined to publicly execute Ace.

It was thought that the deaths of Kizaru, Aokiji, and Garp would give the Navy a break to replenish its forces.

He can use this time to go to Impel Down and rescue him, thus avoiding a direct confrontation with the Navy.

Of course, it's not that Whitebeard was afraid of the Navy, but rather that he didn't want to see his sons in danger.

Today, the navy has not declined; on the contrary, it has become even stronger.

The original three admirals have been replaced by the current five admirals.

Even if this was something Sengoku deliberately created to save face for the navy.

Those four newly appointed admirals may have some questionable credentials, but their strength is definitely not lacking.

Whether or not one can become a naval admiral is not something that can be decided by a single person during the Warring States period.

Upon seeing this, Marco, the captain of the First Division, asked, "Dad, are we still going to Impel Down to rescue Ace?"

“Dad, I think the chances of successfully rescuing Ace from Impel Down are much higher now,” said Diamond Jozu, the captain of the Third Division.

“I agree. Although Impel Down is easy to defend and difficult to attack, we have many skilled naval warriors among us, so we are not afraid of Impel Down Warden Magellan,” Fifth Division Captain Vista echoed.

The others echoed this sentiment, believing that advancing the plan to rescue Ace was the wisest choice.

They believed they had a chance of defeating the three admirals of the navy.

However, even the five admirals of the Navy, all of whom were very powerful, were powerless to help.

It's not that they lack confidence, but rather that they genuinely lack the ability to be confident.

Whitebeard frowned in displeasure and slammed his naginata heavily onto the deck.

With a loud "boom," a gust of wind emanating from him caused all the squad leaders to take a step back.

"Father!" The crowd exclaimed in shock; it was the first time they had ever seen Whitebeard so angry.

Whitebeard narrowed his eyes, gazing at the Marine Headquarters at Marineford, and said calmly.

"The fact that Sengoku dared to leak the information proves that he has made thorough preparations. Impel Down is probably already surrounded by a trap, just waiting for us to fall into it!"

The Warring States period was known for its wise generals, and this reputation was not unfounded.

Based on his years of understanding of the Warring States period, he knew that the stage for this major battle against him had already been set long ago.

Ace was merely the fuse; the Navy's real target was Whitebeard.

If the Whitebeard Pirates hadn't gone to Marineford to rescue Ace, who was being publicly executed, Whitebeard's reputation would have plummeted.

The Navy will definitely use this to spread the news that Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors, is afraid of the Navy. At that time, the faith of his subordinates will also collapse.

However, if they were to go to Marineford to rescue Ace, the Whitebeard Pirates would suffer heavy losses, and might even be completely wiped out.

Whitebeard was finding it difficult to compete with the three admirals of the Navy.

Now that the navy has five admirals, he is no match for them.

Going is not an option, not going is not an option either; the Warring States are trying to force him to his death.

Whitebeard considers himself a relic of the old era.

Since the Warring States period wanted him dead so badly, then let him die.

However, before he dies, he will let the Navy and the world know what the strongest man in the world is.

Even if they can't save Ace, they'll let the entire Marineford sink to the bottom of the sea.

"Bring everyone back. Since the Navy wants to publicly execute Ace, then we'll rescue Ace on that day and make the Navy lose face."

Whitebeard spoke with domineering confidence, and terrifying Conqueror's Haki surged into the sky.

"Long live Father! Long live Father!"

The crew of the Moby Dick cheered. As long as their father was willing to help, the Whitebeard Pirates would be the strongest.

However, Marco, the ship's doctor, was preoccupied with his own thoughts, as he knew Whitebeard's physical condition well.

His body had long been riddled with holes from years of using the Paramecia-type Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

He might be able to return to his peak condition for a short period of time, but his body won't be able to withstand prolonged battles.

Marco was about to speak when Whitebeard glared at him.

Helpless, he could only shut his mouth.

They understood Whitebeard's intention; it was a statement they had to make after rescuing Ace.

Meanwhile, the Big Mom Pirates also saw the newspaper.

"Hahaha, the Navy is really capable! Five Admirals, an unprecedented lineup. If that old man Whitebeard dares to go, his days are numbered."

The middle-aged woman, holding pastries in one hand and a newspaper in the other, began to eat voraciously without any regard for her image.

"Katakuri, keep a close eye on the Whitebeard Pirates' movements. If they really head to Marine Headquarters, you lead your men to seize their territory."

"Yes, Mother," Katakuri said in a deep voice, his mouth covered by a scarf.

He is the second-in-command of the Big Mom Pirates, with a bounty of 1,057 million Berries, and is extremely powerful.

He will unconditionally obey Big Mom's attempt to seize Whitebeard Pirates' territory.

In Wano Country, Kaido was incredibly excited to see that the Navy had five Admirals.

"Hahaha, the navy has quite a foundation. That's right, only a force like this can be considered a large-scale battle."

Kaido tossed aside the newspaper, his eyes turning icy: "If that old man Whitebeard fails to stir up any trouble, I'll personally intervene. However, I'm taking Whitebeard's territory!"

Looking at the three calamities on the ground, he said in a deep voice, "Go out and keep a close eye on Whitebeard's movements. If that old man goes to Marineford, immediately seize their territory."

"Yes, Boss Kaido!" the Three Disasters replied quickly.

With that, Kaido transformed into a giant dragon and crashed through the ceiling of the main hall, soaring into the sky.

Meanwhile, the Red-Haired Pirates searched for several days but found no trace of Lu Renjia.

"Impossible! Could it be that the bastard who killed Luffy and Uncle Rayleigh really died under the Navy's Buster Call?!"

Redhead slammed his hand on the railing indignantly, his face so dark it looked like it could drip water.

Beckman took a deep breath and analyzed, "Perhaps he really is dead. After all, the enemies he faced were Kizaru, Aokiji, Garp, and Mr. Rayleigh, all of whom are top-tier powerhouses."

"No matter how strong a person is, they are still human and can get hurt. It is not surprising that they die under the Buster Call."

Upon hearing this, even if Shanks didn't want to believe it, there was nothing he could do.

After searching tirelessly for several days, not a single trace could be found.

Suddenly, Rakitic rushed over with a newspaper in his hand.

"Boss, this is bad! It seems the Navy is going to publicly execute Luffy's brother, Portgas D. Ace. And they've also added five new admirals, as if they're going to have a final showdown with Whitebeard."
