Chapter 206: A Battle That Shakes the World! Fists Tremor the New Era
At this moment, it was already late morning.
The sun had risen high into the sky.
The weather today was excellent, with bright sunlight and a clear, cloudless blue sky.
However, the countless soldiers standing in the Marine Headquarters Plaza felt an increasingly heavy weight in their hearts.
The execution of Ace was drawing nearer.
A colossal battle was about to begin.
To prepare for this war and secure victory, Fleet Admiral Sengoku had deployed a staggering force of 100,000 troops across Marineford Island.
Looking out over the plaza, one could see nothing but a sea of people.
Moreover, the Marine high command had all gathered, bringing their most elite forces.
The entire Marine Headquarters was filled with a suffocating atmosphere.
All that remained now was to wait.
Wait for the war to commence.
The execution was scheduled for exactly noon.
Before that, the Whitebeard Pirates would undoubtedly arrive.
Many high-ranking officers had already received reports that the Whitebeard Pirates had been making massive movements over the past few days, summoning nearly all their allied fleets.
This was a clear signal that they were preparing for a direct confrontation with the Marines.
At the center of the plaza stood a towering platform.
On the fourth and highest level of the platform stood two figures: Fleet Admiral Sengoku and Marine hero "Iron Fist" Garp.
The expressions on their faces were vastly different.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku's expression was grave, his gaze deeply serious.
As someone who had lived in the same era as Whitebeard, he knew all too well just how terrifying that old man was.
Beside him, Garp's face remained stoic and somber.
On closer inspection, it seemed that in just a few days, Garp had aged significantly.
Sengoku understood Garp's feelings.
After all, the man about to be publicly executed, Fire Fist Ace, had been raised by Garp as his own "grandson."
Although Ace wasn't related to Garp by blood, in Garp's heart, Ace was no different from his biological grandson.
On the third level of the platform sat the Marine Admirals, representing the highest combat power of the Marines.
Admiral Kizaru sat on the left, Admiral Akainu in the center, and Admiral Aokami ("Blue Hawk") on the right.
The three Admirals were all seated, as steady as mountains.
However, Kizaru and Akainu were both towering figures over three meters tall, while Qin Muyin, standing only 1.7 meters tall, appeared significantly smaller.
Even while seated, her stature made her seem out of place next to the other two Admirals.
Below them, on the second level of the platform, were the Vice Admirals.
This included seasoned veterans like Doberman and Momonga, as well as rising stars like Vice Admiral Chen Ye, Vice Admiral Fujitora, and Vice Admiral Green Bull.
Like Qin Muyin, Chen Ye's height wasn't particularly remarkable compared to his peers.
The lowest level, the first platform, was guarded by Rear Admirals and Commodores.
Nearly all the high-ranking Marine forces had gathered here.
In addition to the Marine forces, several of the Seven Warlords of the Sea had arrived to assist.
These included Boa Hancock, Mihawk, Bartholomew Kuma, Donquixote Doflamingo, and Gecko Moria.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku felt confident about the upcoming battle.
Even though the Marines had lost Admiral Aokiji, they had gained Qin Muyin, Chen Ye, Fujitora, and Green Bull—four monstrous combatants.
Any one of these four was on par with, or even stronger than, Admiral Aokiji.
In other words, the Marines now had six Admiral-level combatants, including Akainu and Kizaru.
When combined with Sengoku himself and Garp, the Marines' high-end combat power far outnumbered that of the Whitebeard Pirates.
By 11:00 a.m., only an hour remained until the execution.
At this moment, Fire Fist Ace was escorted onto the execution platform by several soldiers.
To prevent any rescue attempts, the execution platform was set up adjacent to the high platform, ensuring everyone could clearly see Ace's current miserable state.
Well—everyone except the blind Fujitora.
When Garp saw Ace, his fists clenched tightly.
Noticing his old comrade's state, Sengoku immediately issued a stern warning.
"Garp, don't forget your position! You should understand how critical this battle is for the Marines!"
Garp gritted his teeth in response, saying nothing.
Sengoku, seeing this, said no more and ordered the live broadcast to begin.
He stepped forward and, addressing the entire world, prepared to reveal Ace's true lineage.
Sengoku began with a speech that sounded grandiose but was ultimately full of meaningless platitudes.
Then he turned to Ace and asked sharply, "Fire Fist Ace, state your father's name!"
Without hesitation, Ace replied, "My father is Whitebeard!"
"No, that's incorrect!" Sengoku said coldly.
"Your mother was Portgas D. Rouge, and your father was the Pirate King: Gol D. Roger!"
The name "Roger" sent shockwaves through the entire Marine Headquarters.
A stunned silence fell over the plaza.
Everyone was astonished by the revelation of Ace's true identity.
Not only the Marines present but also the global audience watching the live broadcast were equally shocked.
No one could have expected that after so many years, the name of the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, would resurface in such a way.
Amid the countless stunned gazes, Sengoku continued his speech.
"Fire Fist Ace, the blood flowing through your veins is inherently sinful.
You were born with the gravest of crimes.
Today, your execution is the Marine's way of upholding justice!
Even if this leads to war with the Whitebeard Pirates, it is a price we are prepared to pay!"
As Sengoku's voice fell, the entire plaza erupted into cheers.
For those who chose to serve in the Marines, pirates were naturally their sworn enemies, individuals they despised and wished to see eradicated.
Witnessing the son of the Pirate King being executed with their own eyes was something they relished.
But just then—
An alarm suddenly blared from the lookout tower.
"A fleet is approaching... It's the subordinate fleet of the Whitebeard Pirates! Enemy attack!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. The cheers stopped abruptly as all eyes turned toward the sea.
On the horizon, more and more ships began to appear, densely packed together to form a fleet sailing straight for Marine Headquarters.
Looking at their flags, it was clear—they were all pirates!
A chill ran through the hearts of everyone present, and their expressions grew heavy.
The battle was about to begin.
The next moment—
A massive sound of rushing water suddenly erupted from the inner bay.
Then—
A mast ship, several times larger than a Marine battleship, burst out from beneath the sea like a humpback whale, appearing directly in the inner bay!
It surfaced almost right in front of everyone.
It was none other than Whitebeard's flagship, the Moby Dick!
The sight of this left the Marine soldiers in the plaza utterly stunned and in disbelief.
No one had anticipated that the Whitebeard Pirates would make such an entrance.
On the execution platform, even Ace's jaw dropped in shock.
However, the Marine high-ranking officers remained calm, as if they had anticipated this.
Even those who showed traces of surprise glanced toward Chen Ye.
That's right—
It was Chen Ye who had warned them in advance.
Knowing Qin Muyin's mission was to secure the Marines' victory in this battle, Chen Ye, being aware of the storyline, wouldn't keep the information to himself and allow the Whitebeard Pirates to catch the Marines off guard again.
Fleet Admiral Sengoku had already acted on Chen Ye's suggestion by setting up an ambush in the inner bay.
With a sharp crack, the massive coating that had enveloped the Moby Dick shattered, revealing the figures on its deck.
Standing at the forefront was a towering giant of a man, over six meters tall, with a muscular build and a large blade in hand.
The man's signature white crescent-shaped mustache made it immediately clear who he was.
Whitebeard! Edward Newgate!
The strongest man in the world!
Though aged, his formidable presence remained unshaken. Even just standing on the deck, he exerted an overwhelming pressure on the Marine soldiers in the plaza.
Beside Whitebeard stood the famous commanders of the New World.
The "Phoenix" Marco.
The "Diamond" Jozu.
The "Flower Sword" Vista.
And many more.
Seeing so many renowned pirates standing before them, countless Marine soldiers paled with fear.
"Gurararara..."
A strange laugh echoed from Whitebeard's mouth.
He gazed at Sengoku and Garp atop the high platform, greeting them with a chuckle.
"Sengoku, Garp, it's been decades since we last met, hasn't it?"
Then his gaze shifted to Ace on the execution platform.
"My dear son, are you all right?"
"Dad!"
Ace couldn't hold back, shouting in response with a mix of emotion and guilt.
Whitebeard let out another hearty laugh and reassured him, "Ace, wait just a little longer. I'll bring you back home soon."
As his words fell, Whitebeard suddenly planted his massive blade into the deck beside him.
He crossed his arms, clenched his fists, and began gathering strength.
The next moment—
With a deep grunt, he unleashed a double-fisted strike into the empty air.
"Crack!"
A sharp, clear sound rang out.
An extraordinary scene unfolded.
The air on both sides of Whitebeard's fists fractured like a mirror, cracks rapidly spreading outward.
Immediately—
The calm sea grew restless and turbulent, quickly rising into towering waves.
On both sides, massive tsunamis rose rapidly, surging toward Marine Headquarters.
By the time they approached, the tsunamis had swelled to over a hundred meters high, forming an enormous wall of water that threatened to engulf everything in its path.
With just one punch, Whitebeard had unleashed such massive tsunamis.
No wonder he was hailed as the strongest man in the world.
When he didn't act, it was fine.
But when he did, it was nothing short of earth-shattering!
The most pressing issue now was that if these two tsunamis weren't stopped, they would absolutely destroy Marine Headquarters, flooding it entirely.
The 100,000 Marine soldiers in the plaza would face catastrophic losses, with only a few managing to survive.
Many had realized this and were already too terrified to speak.
Amid the fear spreading among the crowd, an eerie laugh suddenly echoed from one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
"Fufufufufu..."
It was Doflamingo!
The man laughed as he stared at Whitebeard. "What incredible power! Truly a legendary monster!"
On the third level of the platform, Admiral Aokami, Qin Muyin, looked at Whitebeard with a face full of gravity.
"A single punch could create tsunamis like that? Whitebeard's reputation is well deserved!"
At that moment, Qin Muyin felt a sudden realization.
No wonder every time she considered entering the 30th secret realm, she felt unease.
This world held such terrifying monsters!
Had it not been for Chen Ye's presence this time, completing her mission would have been next to impossible.
By now, the tsunamis had drawn dangerously close to Marine Headquarters, looming high above.
Qin Muyin knew she was the only one who could stop this disaster.
Without hesitation, she leapt into the air, soaring into the sky.
Her actions were witnessed by everyone.
"It's Admiral Aokami!"
"Can she stop these terrifying tsunamis?"
"She definitely can!"
"We're saved…"
Countless Marine soldiers looked to Qin Muyin as their beacon of hope.
And she didn't disappoint.
Hovering high in the sky, Qin Muyin raised her hands and pushed them outward toward the incoming waves.
"Wong!"
A powerful wave of telekinetic energy crashed into the tsunamis.
At the moment of impact, all of Marineford Island seemed to tremble.
"Splash—"
A deafening roar of water erupted.
The two massive tsunamis were shattered by Qin Muyin's telekinetic force and fell back into the sea.
Seeing this, countless Marine soldiers erupted into cheers.
Many looked at Qin Muyin with fanatical admiration, some even shouting, "Long live Admiral Aokami!"
On the other side, members of both the Seven Warlords of the Sea and the Whitebeard Pirates displayed shock.
No one had expected this newly promoted Marine admiral to possess such strength.
"Gurararara… Not bad, young lady!"
Whitebeard gave a hearty laugh, offering a rare compliment, but made no further moves.
Since the tsunamis created by his quake had been neutralized, there was no point in continuing the same attack.
Qin Muyin also refrained from retaliating, choosing instead to return to her seat.
Chen Ye had specifically instructed her not to engage Whitebeard directly.
In the Summit War, the only person who could pose a fatal threat to Qin Muyin was Whitebeard.
According to Chen Ye, Qin Muyin's priority was to complete her mission, not risk her life.
Qin Muyin found this reasoning sound and followed the advice, avoiding unnecessary risks.
As she settled back into her seat, Admiral Kizaru, seated on the far left, suddenly stood up.
"To minimize losses, we'll have to capture the leader first," he muttered to himself.
In an instant, Kizaru's body transformed into light and shot into the sky, where he reappeared, hovering high above.
From his vantage point, Kizaru raised his hands, aiming at the Moby Dick below.
Brilliant beams of light began to emanate from his hands, so dazzling that even in broad daylight, the area seemed to grow brighter.
"Woah, that's blinding!"
Whitebeard, utterly unfazed, even joked. He didn't seem concerned in the slightest.
He knew that among his allies, someone could block Kizaru's attack.
As Kizaru's strike was about to be unleashed, an unexpected phenomenon occurred.
A circular portal suddenly appeared on the deck of the Moby Dick beside Whitebeard.
From the portal emerged a woman.
This sudden appearance left Kizaru visibly stunned, causing him to momentarily halt his attack.
The person who stepped through the portal was none other than Kawashima Nao, having returned from the future.
Behind her stood none other than Monkey D. Luffy and his crew.
"Has the war just begun? Good thing I'm not too late!"
The chaos had only just begun.
