I’m Not Interested in Devil Fruits: 715 The Beginning of the Top, the Legend Appears
Marinvando, the island where the Navy headquarters is located, has a large city mainly populated by sailors and their relatives.
Now, these residents have been notified of evacuation. Every street and every household in the big city on Malinfando Island is now empty, without a soul.
The evacuation location is the Shampoo Islands not far away.
The legal zone of the Chambord Islands includes islands 79 to 30, hotel streets, government buildings, shipbuilding and coating factory areas, sightseeing areas, entertainment venues, and even islands 29 to 1 where pirates are rampant. There are large and small telephone broadcast screens set up everywhere on the island. Countless people gathered in the open space in front of these screens. They were either nervous or expecting or indifferent, but they all raised their heads and watched attentively. The picture presented on the screen.
Among them, the broadcast screen set up in the huge square where Shampoo Park is located is the largest and has the largest number of people gathered. There are also journalists from all over the world, in order to convey the report to all parts of the world as soon as possible. In preparation, the reporters stared intently at the screen, while the pens in their hands kept jotting down notes in their notebooks. They even imagined many situations and wrote rough manuscripts under different possibilities in advance.
Will "Fire Fist" Portcas D. Ace, the captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates, be successfully executed by the navy?
The most important thing is, the "strongest man in the world" Whitebeard, will he appear?
There are less than two hours left before the execution begins. If Whitebeard really appears, how will the Navy respond?
Everyone stared closely at the three huge screens.
The two screens on the left and right showed a panoramic view of the Marine headquarters from different angles. The crescent-shaped bay and the surrounding coast were lined with fifty warships. Each warship furled its sails and set up its cannon. On the shore in the bay behind the warship, there are countless heavy cannons, alert to the Whitebeard Pirates who are very likely to appear in the distance...
The screen in the middle is facing the headquarters building complex with the two characters "Navy" written on the outer wall.
Densely packed, elite naval soldiers, totaling 100,000 people, summoned from all over the world, were all formed into military formations, with solemn expressions on their faces, ready for battle.
Behind these countless sailors stood a row of six lieutenant generals from the giant race. In front of these six giant lieutenant generals, stood three tall and powerful men who could influence the situation of the battle. The existence of - Hawkeye Mihawk, Tyrant Bear, and Moonlight Moria.
The system of the Shichibukai under the king has taken on an inexplicable and weird flavor since the pirate empress and the son of the devil were removed from the list ten years ago. For a long time - in fact, almost a whole decade, except for Except for Jinbe, the sea hero of the fish-men clan, almost no newly-rising powerful pirates are willing to accept the navy's invitation. Not only are there no new people joining, not long ago, a veteran King Shichibukai Sand Crocodile was found to be trying to overthrow the Kingdom of Alabasta and was expelled and imprisoned in the Undersea Prison. There are not many King Shichibukai left. The children became very few in number again. Just a while ago, a sudden rise of Blackbeard barely filled one of the vacancies in the Shichibukai.
But even so, the deterrent power of the King's Shichibukai has to be taken seriously. When three Shichibukai gather together, it is particularly worthy of attention. Especially Hawkeye, who is known as the greatest swordsman in the world. No one has been lucky enough to see him take action for many years. He has always been a loner and was originally considered to be the least likely to appear in this war. Shichibukai, I didn't expect him to be willing to show up and stand in the navy's camp.
On the high platform behind these people, there are three top chairs, sitting on the three highest combat power of the Navy Headquarters in this era.
The three generals of the navy are Kizaru, Akainu and Aokiji.
The three people were wearing justice coats, just sitting there, as if three mountains were stably holding them there, which made the sailors gathered here feel at ease, and also made all the pirates around the world watching this scene Terrified.
Looking at the Fire Fist Ace who was escorted to the execution platform at the highest place, and the Navy Marshal Buddha Sengoku who walked towards him...
Many people are vaguely aware that the calm before this huge storm will not last long.
……
〖South China Sea——〗
"There are only two hours left, has Whitebeard appeared?"
"Who knows!"
"Who said our king is too poor to afford a large telephone bug for broadcasting, hehe..."
……
〖East China Sea——〗
"I heard that Whitebeard has regained his youth and is even stronger than his peak. Is it true?"
"Will the Navy Headquarters lose to him?"
"I hope that's just a rumor! If he gets old, at most one of him will die. If he doesn't get old...then this war won't be about one or two deaths!"
"What will the world look like after today?"
……
〖Western Sea——〗
"I heard something big happened again!"
The older village chief walked to the hillside in the suburbs. The wildflowers and grasses that used to grow haphazardly were taken care of in an orderly manner, especially around the small tomb, where the fragrance of flowers was faint.
"That white beard...if I remember correctly, is also related to that little guy Lynch..."
"Don't you always like and pay no attention to pirates?" The woman sitting in front of the small grave said calmly without looking back.
"When Lin Qi was often active in the newspaper, old man, I would read the newspaper occasionally!" The old village chief sat down tiredly, leaning on the side of the tombstone, looking at the distant and peaceful blue sky and white clouds, murmuring He said, "This time passed by without paying attention. In the blink of an eye, I haven't heard anything about the child for ten years..."
Xianglian looked at the yellowed photo of the laughing woman on the tombstone, and remembered what Ayu, who had come here specifically yesterday, told her.
The sea is becoming more and more lively, Sister Lily... your son who is unwilling to be lonely will definitely not miss it.
Xiang Lian's eyes were slightly red, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. The story of Ranger Lily is not over yet...
……
〖Beihai, a certain country——〗
The bustling residents, wearing patchwork clothes, gathered towards the main square.
"Do we also have a big screen for broadcasting here?"
"Bah, isn't that the money that was taken from us? The royal family is so rich that we can only eat chaff and dust!"
People whispered, and many people were angry, but they still raised their heads and looked at the big screens that lit up one after another in the square.
On the screen, Navy Marshal Sengoku walked step by step to Fire Fist Ace who was kneeling on the execution platform.
……
"Before the public execution begins, I have something to tell you."
Under the intense gaze of countless eyes around the world, Marshal Warring States held a loudspeaker phone in his hand that connected the broadcast signals. His voice was clearly uploaded from the broadcast screens everywhere, "That's about the wave of waves." There is an important reason why the man Tecas D. Ace must die here today!”
"Ace," Sengoku said expressionlessly, "tell your father's name."
His father?
Not only the ordinary people and journalists on the Chambord Islands who were watching the broadcast, but also the elite navy officers and soldiers at the scene, most of them were very confused when the Warring States Marshal suddenly mentioned this.
Why are you bringing up Fire Fist’s father at this time?
The people on Whitebeard's ship are all homeless pirates. Fire Fist's father is Whitebeard. As for who his father is, is it important?
"..." Ace was silent, closed his eyes and said calmly, "I have a father and a father. Which one do you want to ask?"
"...?!" Fire Fist's answer was somewhat beyond Sengoku's expectations.
He originally thought that Ace was so rebellious that he joined the Whitebeard Pirates and considered Whitebeard, who was Roger's rival, as his father. He obviously deeply hated the character of the bloodline he carried.
I just didn't expect that Fire Fist would admit that besides Whitebeard, he also had a biological father.
The Warring States Period said coldly: "There is an island in the South China Sea called 'Batelila', and there is a woman named Portcas D. Lujiu. In order to give birth to a certain man's child smoothly, she hid it from the world. , I was pregnant for twenty months before giving birth to you, but I tried my best and died on the spot!”
"One year and three months after his father's death, the child who inherited the most evil bloodline in the world...is you!"
Sengoku looked down indifferently at Fire Fist Ace, who was kneeling on the execution platform with his hands cuffed and his head lowered.
"And your biological father... is the 'Pirate King' Gol Roger!"
The angry voice of the Marine Marshal echoed in the sky above Marinevando. All the sailors and officers looked stunned. Among the crowd, Smoker and Hina looked stunned. I was also surprised by this information... Fire Fist Ace is the son of the Pirate King? !
Sengoku's voice echoed in front of many people watching the broadcast in the Shampoo Islands, and everyone was shocked beyond words.
……
〖Beihai, a certain country——〗
Among the bustling crowd, a blond young man dressed in a rustic style, who looked like a local fisherman, also came to this square along with the crowd. He was looking down and wondering when to collect the country's hidden treasures during this period. All the information was passed to the comrades of the revolutionary army. This country only lacked a fuse... Suddenly, he heard a roar from the crowd around him, and a majestic roar came from the large broadcast screen:
"And your biological father... is the 'Pirate King' Gol Roger!"
In the midst of the shocked crowd, Sabo suddenly raised his head and took a closer look at the broadcast screen for the first time. Bloodshot eyes suddenly appeared and his eyes were about to burst.
Beside Admiral Sengoku, the bruised man kneeling on the execution platform was his brother, Ace...
Why?
Why is Ace there?
Didn’t he join the Whitebeard Pirates and become the captain of the second team?
During my lurking mission, what happened on the sea?
Ace...Ace!
"If I don't care about you, you will definitely stand at the top of the pirates of this era and exert your power." On the broadcast screen, Sengoku coldly looked down at Ace who lowered his head, "So here today It is of great significance to execute you publicly - even if a full-scale war breaks out with the Whitebeard Pirates, our navy will not hesitate!"
The roar of the Warring States Period was like a formal declaration of war. For a moment, everyone's hearts were raised.
The Navy is really going to spend its money this time!
Just to execute the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates... No, it's to eradicate the bloodline of the devilish "Pirate King"!
Ace raised his head at this time, sighed softly, looked at the old man Garp who was sitting there holding his forehead in silence, and glanced at the side next to him. The naval marshal with the highest morale...
He looked at the endless sea in front of him and asked: "Everyone just wants to kill Ace, the son of the Pirate King, but no one wants to kill Ace, the Fire Fist?"
Ace!
Wait for me!
The crowded crowd in the square was separated into a channel by brute force. Sabo lowered his head, held back tears and gritted his teeth as he ran all the way.
……
〖New World——〗
"It's almost about to begin...Marinvando's public execution of Ace."
"Captain, are you really not going to save that kid?"
Jesus Bu and Lackey Lu asked a little uneasily, looking at their red-haired captain.
"Ace...he is not my partner."
The unshaven Shanks lowered his head, sat on the stone, crossed his hands against his chin, and said slowly, "And I am no longer a crew member of the Roger Pirates. Ace has Ace himself. His adventure also has his own partner..."
"Stop pretending and do nothing. This is not your style!" Vice Captain Ben Beckman held a cigarette in his mouth, took a breath and said calmly, "What are we going to do next? , Captain, please explain quickly."
"Hee..."
Shanks grinned, stood up with a flick of his black coat, and raised a fist while wearing slippers, "Then let's go help solve some things outside of the battlefield! It seems that there are some people who are unwilling to be lonely. The guy wants to get involved!"
“A guy who doesn’t want to be lonely?”
"Could it be referring to Kaido's stinky dragon?"
"Are you talking about Auntie's gang? I heard that they have done very poorly in recent years, changing their territory everywhere..."
"Do we have the right to criticize others? Aren't we also wandering around?"
"Hahaha, that's true!"
Jesus Bu and others followed the captain in front of them, laughing and joking. And Shanks smiled and led the brothers to their pirate ship on the beach, looking back at the sea, the wind blowing his red hair. Mr. Reilly...
……
["Mr. Reilly, I encountered a lot of things in the East China Sea this time!"]
[About ten years ago, in the rip-off bar of the Shampoo Islands, Shanks told Rayleigh with excitement that the boy he had entrusted the Straw Hat to had said the same thing as their former captain Roger. 】
[And...]
["Roger's son?" Rayleigh stopped pouring the wine and spilled two drops. 】
[Shanks took the glass and drank it in one gulp, "Yes, his name is Ace."]
["What a great name, right?" the redhead said with a bright smile. 】
["Yeah..." Rayleigh's eyes immediately turned red when he heard the name. He pushed up his glasses, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and said with a smile, "Gol. D. Ace..."]
["No!" Shanks crossed his arms, "It's Portcas D. Ace."]
[Rayley was stunned. 】
[Shanks sat back in his chair, holding the back of his head and laughing: "Ace hates the captain!"]
[Rayleigh quickly felt relieved, drank a glass of wine, and laughed: "I am hated by my own son! Haha, Roger... I really want to see your expression! Hahaha..."]
[That day, Rayleigh and Shanks drank one cup at a time and got very drunk. 】
[The two talked a lot about the past on the Oro Jackson. Where were the former partners, except for the ship's doctor Kurokas? Where are you at this moment? 】
【There will be a day when we meet again, right? 】
……
[Three years ago, a young man knocked on the door of Xia Qi’s rip-off bar. 】
["Hello, I am Portcas D. Ace." The visitor pressed the hat on his head and grinned, "This is the first time we meet, please give me some advice."]
["The captain of the Spade Pirates," Xia Qi said with a smile, "is the latest super star!"]
[Leili looked at the young man intently. After a long time, he smiled lightly and said: "You and your father were so similar when they were young..."]
["Really?" Ace just smiled and came to sit down at the bar, "What kind of person is he?"]
["Didn't Shanks tell you?" Rayleigh asked. 】
【"Yes." Ace nodded, thanked Xia Qi who handed him a piece of fried rice, picked up the spoon and started eating, saying inarticulately, "However, it feels like he has been talking about him all the time. Just nice words! I want to hear something different."]
["The 'devil' who is full of evil can't really be a good person, right?" Ace shook his spoon and smiled slightly, "He caused me such misfortune, everyone scolded me, I have to find out what he is. What does it look like?”]
【"How do I know whether to hate him or not?" Reilly was curious. 】
【"Now I know how to scold him!" Ace said. 】
[Rayley raised his head and laughed. 】
["Thank you for the hospitality~" At the door of the bar, Ace carried his bag and bowed slightly to Xia Qi and Rayleigh, "In addition, I would like to find out where Shanks might be. I want to go. Let’s pay a visit. I heard he seems to be in the New World?”]
[Rayleigh looked at the back of Ace who was waving his hands and walking away, and saw him quickly playing around with several fellow pirates not far away, and couldn't help but smile. 】
……
【"Whitebeard Second Division Captain "Fire Fist" Arrested"]
["The Navy announced that it will conduct a public execution of "Fire Fist"! The location will be at the Navy Headquarters, Marineland!"]
[Not long ago, in the Chambord Islands, Reilly grabbed the newspaper he had just touched in the restaurant. He was drunk at first, but suddenly he became completely sober. 】
[He read the newspaper carefully with an expressionless expression. 】
["Blackbeard...Marshall D. Teach..." After returning to Xia Qi's rip-off bar, Reilly was still muttering the name to himself. When Xia Qi heard it, she couldn't help but casually said: "This Isn’t he the person that Brother Lynch wanted to kill?”]
["What did you say?" Reilly was startled and reacted suddenly, "When Lynch asked Marco, he wanted to kill someone - was this Marshall D. Teach?"]
["There is such a rumor, it should be quite credible." Xia Qi knocked the ashes from her cigarette. 】
[That night, Rayleigh put on a piece of clothing and went out. 】
[Xia Qi asked: "Aren't you waiting for Straw Hat? According to estimates, they will soon arrive at the Chambord Islands. Robin and ".B" should also be on Straw Hat's ship!"]
[Rayleigh said nothing, waved his hand and disappeared into the night outside the door. 】
~~~~~~~~~~
"Here it comes! Everyone is ready to fight!"
"It's a large fleet of pirate ships - where is Whitebeard, find it quickly!"
"The Ranger Knight Thomas, the Descartes brothers, the Maelstrom Spider Skuard...what a terrifying lineup! They are all pirate captains who are famous in the 'New World'!"
"There are a total of 43 pirate ships, all belonging to the pirate group under Whitebeard! But Whitebeard's Beluga was not found in these pirate ships! Nor was the captain of the Whitebeard Pirate Group seen. They! ”
At the port of Marinefando's crescent-shaped bay, the 100,000-strong navy who was waiting in full formation looked at the more than 40 giant pirate ships approaching them majestically on the sea, and all of them instantly entered into battle preparations.
"It suddenly appeared...where did it come from?"
Warring States looked ugly, and suddenly his ears moved, and he heard a low sound of sea currents.
On the three chairs under the execution platform, Kizaru, Akainu, and Aoki all had expressions on their faces, "Could it be that..."
Under the water of the crescent-shaped bay, a black shadow quickly emerged. Warring States gritted his teeth and said: "That's it! They coated all the boats and came from the bottom of the sea!"
Boom! !
Under the gaze of countless pairs of shocked eyes, four pirate ships with tops like giant white whales broke through the sea one after another and rushed out, setting off a huge wave.
The transparent films on the four Belugas crackled as soon as they left the sea.
"The enemy has appeared!! Whitebeard has appeared!!!" The navy on the shore felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, "All 14 captains have arrived! The main force of the enemy has invaded the bay!!!"
"Gu la la la, Warring States Period, haven't we seen each other for decades?"
On the larger main ship Beluga, a tall and majestic figure wearing a white coat climbed the steps to the bow step by step.
"White Beard..." On the execution platform, Warring States looked serious.
"My beloved son..."
Holding the supreme sword Congyunqie in one hand, Whitebeard stood erect on the bow of the Moby Dick.
Facing the hunting sea breeze, he looked past the dense sea of sailors and looked at Ace kneeling at Sengoku's feet on the high execution platform, and asked with a smile, "Are you okay?"
At this time, another white-haired figure jumped from the deck of the Moby Dick to the bow of the ship. He sat casually on the ground next to White Beard, holding a wine bottle in his hand and taking a sip.
"Looks like we have offended more than one 'legend'!"
Garp, who was standing with Crane, had shadows in his eyes and chuckled, "What should I do now?"
He looked at the old man with long gray hair who was sitting next to Whitebeard drinking, and his face became more and more solemn, "Originally, I had to fight hard this time...!!"
"One Piece's right hand", Pluto Rayleigh!
"The Strongest Man in the World", Whitebeard Newgate!
Looking at the two figures appearing on the bow of the Beluga on the broadcast screen, countless people around the world were stunned and shocked like never before!
