Meanwhile, at Marineford, the Naval Headquarters.
"You have ten minutes to take down the Whitebeard Pirates. If you can't... Sengoku, you know the consequences." The Five Elders reprimanded him from above, not even giving Sengoku the chance to explain, and hung up the Den Den Mushi on the spot.
Sengoku's face turned ashen. He was, after all, a dignified naval admiral, yet he was publicly berated by the Five Elders. It was a complete disgrace.
After this battle, he will have to step down no matter what.
Vice Admiral Tsuru, the Chief of Staff of the Navy Headquarters, frowned slightly, looked at Sengoku, and asked:
"Something happened in Mary Geoise? What happened?"
"Hmm." Sengoku rubbed his forehead in annoyance. He thought the Five Elders could take down the Whitebeard Pirates in ten minutes? Who did they think he was? Who did they think Whitebeard was?
Why don't the Five Elders try it themselves?
Garp watched Luffy rush towards the execution platform, a mixture of heartache and relief in his eyes. He laughed and said:
"Warring States, I always said you were no good as a marshal. Sigh, being a lieutenant general is much more comfortable."
Garp's silence only fueled Sengoku's anger, causing him to roar:
"Garp! It's all your son's fault! The ones who wreaked havoc in Mary Geoise were the Revolutionary Army!"
Karp paused for a moment, then burst into hearty laughter.
Needless to say, he knew what was going to happen when the revolutionary army wreaked havoc in Mary Geoise.
Although he was in the navy, he was pleased with this.
The reason he absolutely refused to become an admiral was not only because of the tediousness of the duties, but also because... he would never be a henchman for the Celestial Dragons!
"..." Sengoku was speechless. With no other option, he could only flick his cloak and personally join the fray.
As for Garp, just let him watch the execution platform.
During this execution, he understood the pain in his old friend's heart.
"Fire Fist" Ace is Garp's adopted grandson, and their relationship is like that of his biological grandson Luffy.
On this battlefield, the most heartbroken person is none other than Garp.
But what can be done when we have different stances?
The Navy's "justice" is their lifelong dream.
Garp's smile turned bitter. "Ace, why did you become a pirate? Grandpa always wanted you to become the backbone of the Navy!"
Ace lowered his head, bit his lip, looked directly at Garp, and said firmly:
"Grandpa, I don't regret it!"
"Silly child." Garp looked away, his eyes glistening with tears.
Ace bit his lip so hard that blood seeped out, but he seemed oblivious to the pain.
He had never felt he had wronged anyone before, but today… he felt he had wronged so many people… his grandfather, his father, Luffy, Marco, and so many brothers and sisters…
It's all my fault... It was my arrogance that ruined you all...
Regret almost overwhelmed Ace, and his hatred for the traitor Blackbeard surged like a raging storm in his chest.
After Sengoku personally intervened, the Navy went berserk, and even Aokiji and Kizaru, who had been slacking off, became serious.
Immediately, the Whitebeard Pirates suffered heavy casualties. Whitebeard was also anxious, but he was held back by Akainu and Aokiji and could not spare any attention.
He's old now, and he's lost his invincible peak.
Moreover, he was stabbed by the filial son "The Great Vortex Spider" Squard.
Admirals Akainu and Aokiji, both top-tier combatants, were more than capable of holding off the elderly and severely injured Whitebeard.
Even with a group of Impel Down escapees suddenly appearing and Whitebeard skillfully persuading "The Joker" Buggy to form an alliance against the Navy, it was still a drop in the ocean.
The escaped prisoners from Impel Down, through a series of coincidences, misunderstood Bucky's strength and status, and collectively elected Bucky as their leader.
It's no wonder they make up their own ideas.
Who can blame them when Bucky has such a rich and varied life experience?
He was once a member of the Pirate King's crew and had a life-or-death friendship with Shanks, one of the Four Emperors. However, when he arrived at the Marineford War, he was treated differently by Whitebeard and showed weakness.
Not to mention the many coincidences that occurred during the prison break.
Even a normal person would overthink things and wonder if Bucky is a deeply hidden mastermind.
Everyone else has Armament Haki, Observation Haki, and occasionally Conqueror's Haki, but Buggy the Great has Conqueror's Haki luck!
Even more powerful than Luffy's Conqueror's Haki, his true tiger-like body trembled, and his underlings immediately bowed down in worship.
"There's no other way..." Whitebeard sent Akainu flying with his hammer, and Aokiji dodged his slash, giving him a chance to catch his breath.
He gripped the "Murakumo-giri" tightly in his right hand. This was one of the twelve Supreme Grade Swords, one of the best weapons in the world, and his good partner.
He raised his left fist high, activating the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. With a hum, a transparent light shield dispersed, triggering another earthquake in Marineford.
This created an opportunity for the Whitebeard Pirates to briefly block the Navy and get closer to the execution platform.
The Tremor-Tremor Fruit, the strongest Paramecia-type Devil Fruit!
Whitebeard, the strongest in the world, the legendary great pirate.
The combination of the two creates the world's strongest power!
The root of the problem is Whitebeard. Even if he had a different Devil Fruit, or even if he didn't have one, Whitebeard would still be a powerful figure standing at the top of the sea.
"Cough cough~~" While activating the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power, Whitebeard was also injured by the recoil.
He was too old, had too many hidden injuries, and had been exhausted by continuous fierce battles. He had not yet been able to rest and recover. At this time, Whitebeard used the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, which was an active way of hastening his own death.
Whitebeard also realized that today, he would probably end his sea voyage.
But I still have unfinished business... Ace, wait for me, your father will definitely rescue you... Children, your father's journey has been too rich, it can end here... But you still have a long and vibrant life ahead of you...
I'm... a white-bearded guy!
Whitebeard laughed heartily, displaying the pride of being the strongest in the world. He wielded Murakumogiri, his Conqueror's Haki swirling around him, and with a bang, he sent Akainu flying and shattered Aokiji.
Both generals coughed up blood, their faces filled with horror. At this moment, Whitebeard was even stronger than before!
"As expected of 'the strongest in the world,' Whitebeard, you deserve this title. As long as you live, no one can challenge it." Half of Akainu's face melted, lava flowing, and his gaze towards Whitebeard was chilling and menacing.
All pirates deserve to die, and Whitebeard, the strongest pirate, deserves even more!
Akainu's ideology is "absolute justice"!
Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free!
In contrast, Aokiji embodies "lazy justice".
He believes that "justice" can be interpreted differently by people with different positions and will change with their positions, so he will not question other people's "justice". However, he will never let others get away with interfering with his own justice.
"Oh my gosh~ What a terrifying man, even injured, he's still so strong." Aokiji exclaimed in admiration.
Unlike the two admirals, Aokiji and Akainu, who ganged up on Whitebeard, Kizaru fought Marco one-on-one, and it seemed like they were evenly matched.
All I can say is that "actor" is really good at acting. The entertainment industry is lacking people like him. It's a waste of his talent to be in the navy.
