"Is the Marineford War finally about to begin? It won't be long before I do."
Lu Renjia summoned Lockes and tossed him the Den Den Mushi used for live streaming.
"Take this Den Den Mushi and go to Marineford, hide in the shadows, and broadcast live to me. Don't do anything pointless without my orders."
Rocks took the Den Den Mushi, nodded, and grinned wickedly.
Since being "resurrected," he has been familiarizing himself with his body every day.
Roger, Garp, and the others, who occasionally "resurrected," fought with their strength fully restored to its peak.
He was very excited to finally have a different opponent.
Moreover, his opponents were all old acquaintances.
"I understand. I'm also very curious whether the current admirals are stronger or weaker than the admirals of my time."
Rocks scoffed at the five admirals, saying, "Hopefully they can fight a little and don't get wiped out by Newgate."
As a former captain, Rocks still highly regarded Whitebeard's strength.
In these days, I've also learned about the major events that have occurred at sea over the past few decades.
The members of the Rocks Pirates all seem to be doing very well, except for Shiki.
Shiki the Golden Lion not only lost to Roger in their duel, but was also recently defeated by a mere rookie from the East Blue. He was simply too pathetic.
Whitebeard, on the other hand, earned the title of the strongest man in the world, enjoying unparalleled fame.
Lingling, who loves having children, has become a formidable figure in the new world, known as the most powerful woman in the world.
Kaido, formerly a rookie in the Rocks Pirates, has risen to become the strongest creature in the world.
Along with Shanks, an apprentice on Roger's pirate crew, he is known as one of the Four Emperors of the New World.
The navy currently possesses considerable strength, but that's all it is—considerable strength.
Compared to the admirals of his era, the five admirals were somewhat weaker.
After all, one of the admirals of his era is now the World Government's Commander-in-Chief, Kong.
He cultivated his domineering aura to an unparalleled level, becoming a ruthless man who could serve as a Marine Admiral without needing a Devil Fruit.
Which of the current Navy Admirals, including Sengoku, isn't a Devil Fruit user?
Although Rocks was also a Devil Fruit user, all three types of Haki were still at the highest level.
Even if they are resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation, the Dark-Dark Fruit and Mythical Zoan Fruit still exist on their bodies, and they can use them at will.
Such strength, coupled with an immortal body.
Rocks even felt that he could defeat the Navy and the World Government all by himself.
However, he was not so arrogant as to claim that he was invincible.
Because an even more invincible person was right before his eyes.
Even if they have fully recovered to their peak, and even possess an immortal body.
In front of Lu Renjia, he was still like a frog at the bottom of a well looking up at the moon.
It was an absolute crushing defeat from a different dimension, a complete transcendence of the world.
"Get lost." Lu Renjia sneered as he listened to Locke's inner thoughts.
Surprisingly, while his skills weren't great, his knowledge was quite impressive.
Lox had no complaints.
In his world, the strong rule over the weak.
He is now the weaker party, and it is reasonable for him to be ruled by others.
Soon, he embarked on his journey to Marineford with Roger and the others, who had been resurrected through Edo Tensei.
Lu Renjia remained lying in the chair, enjoying the warm sunshine.
At the same time, the Marine Headquarters and the Whitebeard Pirates and their subordinate pirate crews began to mobilize.
Fire Fist Ace was brought from Impel Down to Marineford, his face filled with sorrow.
He learned from Jinbe, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, that the Straw Hat Pirates of the Worst Generation died at the hands of an unknown powerful figure.
He originally wanted to avenge Wang Luffy, but when he realized that he was in danger, he instantly became dejected.
The Navy deployed 100,000 troops and the Seven Warlords of the Sea to guard the Marine Headquarters, awaiting the arrival of the Whitebeard Pirates.
With such a lineup, let alone a mere captain of the second division.
Even if Whitebeard brought his entire pirate crew, they might not be a match for him.
He was filled with regret, regretting that he hadn't listened to the advice of others and insisted on going to capture Blackbeard alone.
Unexpectedly, not only did he fail to capture Blackbeard, but he was also captured instead.
Most importantly, Blackbeard actually knew his true identity.
Otherwise, the navy wouldn't have publicly executed him in such a high-profile manner.
After all, it would be a very bad deal to just kill an old Whitebeard.
As the son of the Pirate King, he is the Navy's true target.
This is a secret that even Whitebeard and the Whitebeard Pirates didn't know, leading people to mistakenly believe that the Navy's target was Whitebeard.
Little did he know, the Navy wanted to kill him, the son of the Pirate King, and bring the Age of Exploration to an end.
Killing Whitebeard was just a side effect.
At this moment, Fire Fist Ace regretted his actions.
If he hadn't been so arrogant, thinking he could take down Blackbeard by himself, none of this would have happened.
He ruined Whitebeard's life, and he ruined those companions he spent every day with.
Because he was captured, he was unable to avenge Wang Lufei.
Everything was caused by his arrogance.
The time for execution arrived, and Fire Fist Ace was led to the execution platform in front of a live broadcast from all over the world.
People all over the world are talking about it.
"That's Portgas D. Ace, the second division commander of Whitebeard's army! I didn't expect the Navy to be serious!"
"Is the Navy about to engage in a decisive battle with the Four Emperors? Whitebeard values his 'son' very much. Publicly executing him is undoubtedly a provocation against the strongest man in the world!"
"The Navy finally did something decent. Pirates, go to hell!"
Some were astonished by the Navy's audacity, while others worried that the Navy was no match for the Whitebeard Pirates, and still others wanted to see the Whitebeard Pirates wiped out by the Navy.
Among them were national soldiers, vicious pirates, and civilians whose families had been harmed by pirates.
There are all sorts of people, and everyone has their own desires.
This battle has captured the world's attention!
At this moment, Marineford was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
All that could be heard were the sounds of swallowing saliva, heavy breathing, and sweat dripping onto the ground.
A suffocating sense of oppression enveloped everyone's hearts.
It's so quiet!
Fear often stems from the unknown. The Whitebeard Pirates disappeared at sea a long time ago and have not been found since.
Now that Fire Fist Ace has been led to the execution platform, they still haven't appeared.
"What's going on? Is the Whitebeard Pirates scared and too afraid to come to Marineford?"
"It's...possible. We have five generals in command; none of the Four Emperors would dare to accept the challenge!"
"Whitebeard is nothing special! He's still afraid of the Five Admirals' reputation!"
The sailors discussed it, hoping to soothe their fears.
Standing on the execution platform, Sengoku stared intently at the horizon.
However, they still couldn't find any trace of the Whitebeard Pirates; it was as if they had vanished into thin air.
As Whitebeard's longtime rival, he firmly believed that Whitebeard would definitely come.
"Everyone, be on your guard! The strongest man in the world is fearless."
As soon as Zhan Guo finished speaking, a row of pirate ships appeared on the sea.
Those were all affiliated pirate crews of the Whitebeard Pirates, numbering in the tens of thousands.
"Attention everyone! We cannot allow the Whitebeard Pirates to set foot in the inner bay. The war has begun!"
