Although Lu Li now has some strength, he is still somewhat self-aware.
Rin Tohsaka: "Dad! I want to go too! I want to go too! I want to help you, Dad!"
[Lu Li: "Xiao Lin, this time won't work. There are at least five guys in the Marine Headquarters with the strength of Veleslana and Kaido. We'll have Dad do a live stream, and you can watch it from there."]
When Rin Tohsaka heard Lu Li say this, she was immediately startled. More than five god-level beings? That was terrifying.
[Rin Tohsaka: "Never mind then, I'll just watch the live stream."]
She just wanted to join in the fun. She was quite shocked to witness Lu Li's battle with Kaido last time, and she wanted to go and watch it live this time as well.
Chapter 209 Public Execution
Erica: "Five or more God-level beings? Is the Marine Headquarters that powerful?!"
Erica was also shocked by what Lu Li said. She never expected that the World Government in Whitebeard's world would possess such terrifying power.
In her world, there are only six Godslayers in total. If what Lu Li said is true, and the Marine Headquarters alone has so many powerful individuals, then this force is terrifying.
[Whitebeard: "While a direct comparison isn't entirely accurate, the differences aren't significant."]
Whitebeard had witnessed the battle between Lu Li and Veleslana. Veleslana had a lot of tricks up his sleeve, but they were all too flashy for Whitebeard.
Everyone was stunned when they heard Whitebeard admit it himself.
[Kanae: "Are there that many strong people in Whitebeard's world?"]
Whitebeard: "Pretty much. This world is openly divided into three major powers: the World Government, the Four Emperors of the New World, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea."
Whitebeard: "The strongest entity is the World Government, and the Navy belongs to the World Government. The strongest within the Navy are the three Admirals. The three Admirals are the World Government's strongest fighting force, and each of them is stronger than that guy named Veleslana."
Whitebeard: "Next are the Four Emperors of the New World. Besides me, there's Big Mom, Kaido, and Shanks. Each of them is roughly equal in strength."
Whitebeard: "Finally, there are the Seven Warlords of the Sea. They are the so-called legal pirates of the World Government, who can openly plunder other pirates without being punished by law. They are merely tools used to fight other pirates, but they still have considerable strength."
[Whitebeard: "The rest are some other forces, all of which are very powerful, such as the giant kingdom of Elbaf, and some special races."]
After hearing Whitebeard's explanation, everyone gained a clear understanding of the pirate world, and they were surprised to find that there were so many powerful figures in the pirate world.
[Rin Tohsaka: "What kind of place is Mary Geoise?"]
Whitebeard: "Hmph! That's where a bunch of human parasites dwell. They consider themselves the masters of this world, descendants of the people who founded the World Government 800 years ago."
[Whitebeard: "Those guys even created a new race called 'Celestial Dragons' to distinguish themselves. They firmly control the World Government and commit countless evils..."]
Whitebeard enumerated the crimes committed by the Celestial Dragons, which greatly shocked Erica and the others, who never expected that such things could still happen in this era.
[Kanae: "These Celestial Dragons are worse than demons!"]
She couldn't imagine that humans could be so evil. She had always thought that demons were the most evil, but compared to the Celestial Dragons, they were nothing.
[Rin Tohsaka: "Yeah! It's ridiculous that those Marines claim to be righteous when they're working for such evil people. What kind of justice is that?"]
Erica: "Since ancient times, only the victor is righteous!"
[Lu Li: "You're all right. In that world, the Navy doesn't represent absolute justice, and not all pirates are evil. Most of the good and evil are just conflicts of interest. In fact, in that world, you can consider all forces as pirates, and the World Government is the most powerful and influential pirate force."]
Whitebeard: "Gurar ...
Lu Li's words resonated deeply with Whitebeard. He despised the Marines the most, who not only served as dogs for the Celestial Dragons but also committed many dirty deeds without admitting them. They were so hypocritical yet always proclaimed themselves righteous.
Although he was not exactly a good person, he was upright and honest, and lived a life without shame before heaven, earth, or man.
[Lu Li: "Whitebeard, when is the World Government going to publicly execute Ace?"]
Whitebeard: "Seven days later."
[Lu Li: "Seven days later? Okay, just call me when we get to Marine Headquarters. Dad, you're not feeling well, so let me handle the main force in this battle."]
[Rin Tohsaka: "Whitebeard, don't forget to start the live stream! I want to see how awesome Brother Lu Li and Father are."]
[Kanae: "Yes! I also want to see a scene like that."]
Erica: "Same here, I also want to see the strong in this world."
Whitebeard: "々Gurararara! Okay! No problem!"
A week has quietly passed.
The Navy Headquarters is making intensive preparations for war. In addition to deploying weapons, it has recruited top naval personnel from all over the world a week ago.
An elite navy of approximately 10 men was gathered here.
Besides the Navy, there are also the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
This time, the opponent is the Whitebeard Pirates, so the World Government naturally has to summon all of them.
They usually enjoy the privileges of being one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but now it's time for them to do their part.
"No relaxation allowed!"
"No matter what happens, there are only three hours left!"
"Then it all ended!"
Vice Admiral John Jaendor of the Giants at Naval Headquarters roared so loudly that his voice echoed throughout the entire harbor.
At this moment, Fleet Admiral Sengoku walked onto the execution platform.
"It's the Warring States Marshal!"
In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on the Warring States.
Sengoku took out his Den Den Mushi, and his voice rang out throughout the port: "I have something to tell you all, Portgas D. Ace, about the great significance of this man's death here today."
"?"
Almost everyone was puzzled. Wasn't this a declaration of war by the World Government against the Whitebeard Pirates?
Sengoku said calmly, "Ace, tell me your father's name!"
"Father?"
"What's going on? At a time like this..."
Everyone watching the live stream was a little confused as to why this question was being asked at this time.
Ace replied, "My dad is Whitebeard!"
"wrong!"
Ace suddenly became agitated and shouted, "There's no mistake! My dad is only Whitebeard!! It can't be anyone else!!"
Chapter 210 Arrival at Naval Headquarters
Sengoku ignored Ace's words and continued speaking to himself:
"At that time, we opened our eyes wide and searched desperately, hoping that the person's child might be on some island."
“We searched everywhere for newborn or unborn children and their mothers, relying on the few possibilities offered by ‘CP’, but we could not find them.”
"That's understandable. Your birth was achieved through some means, which can be described as a mother's determination to risk her life."
"And that is what deceived our eyes, no, it deceived the eyes of the whole world."
“There is an island in the South China Sea called Patricia, and your mother’s name is Portgas D. Rouge.”
"What that woman did went far beyond our common sense; she stayed in her womb for over 20 months, solely for the sake of the child!"
"However, after giving birth to you, she died on the spot because she was exhausted."
"One year and three months after your father's death, you were born, a child who inherited the world's most evil blood!"
“You can’t possibly not know!”
"Your father is Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King!!!"
Everyone present and those watching the live stream were stunned by Sengoku's words.
"Fire Fist Ace is... 287."
"Gol D. Roger's son!!!"
"This is huge news! Contact headquarters immediately!!"
"A special edition is coming!"
……
Many newspaper reporters watching the live broadcast immediately sprang into action.
Not to mention that Fire Fist Ace was a well-known figure, he was also the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, and now it has been revealed that he was actually the son of Pirate King Roger, which is a big deal.
"His own son survived?! That's a miracle!! Everyone connected to Roger should have been executed!"
Gecko Moria shouted excitedly. He had been watching Roger's execution from below the execution platform, and now it was Roger's son's turn. It was quite a twisted fate.
"Fufufu!"
Doflamingo chuckled strangely, surprised to hear such interesting information.
Sengoku continued, "Two years ago, when you used your mother's name as the captain of the Spade Pirates and made a name for yourself on the seas with your outstanding strength and speed, we finally realized that Roger's bloodline had not been severed."
"However, Whitebeard also discovered this at the same time as us."
"In order to train you to be the next Pirate King, I brought the son of my former rival to my ship."
Ace retorted loudly, "No!! I boarded that ship so that Dad could become the Pirate King..."
"Only you think that way. From that time on, we could no longer act rashly. You have always been protected by Whitebeard."
"However! If we let you go unchecked, you will surely unleash your potential to stand at the pinnacle of the next generation of pirates. That is why taking your head here today is of great significance!"
"Even if it escalates into a war with Whitebeard, I'm willing to pay the price!!!"
Sengoku spoke with a firm and resounding voice, clearly determined to fight Whitebeard to the death.
"They're here!!!"
"Everyone, form battle formation!!"
Suddenly, the naval officer on lookout duty issued a loud warning.
Everyone looked towards the sea and saw a large number of pirate warships suddenly appear. They had arrived near the Marine Headquarters at some unknown time, and even the surveillance ships that had been stationed outside had not noticed them.
"It's Whitebeard's Grand Fleet!!"
"[Ranger Knight] Doma, [Thunder Lord] Macgay, the Deckard brothers, [Great Vortex Spider] Skjad, they are all captains who are renowned throughout the New World!!"
……
Everyone recognized these captains from the Whitebeard Grand Fleet.
Sengoku paid no attention to these people: "Where is Whitebeard?! Find out quickly!!"
The officer in charge of surveillance immediately reported: "A total of forty-three warships were inspected, but Whitebeard and his division commanders were not found! However, there is no doubt that they are all pirates under the Whitebeard Grand Fleet!"
"Should we attack?!"
The subordinate inquired.
Sengoku: "Wait a minute!! Whitebeard is definitely nearby!! He's probably looking for some opportunity! Keep an eye on the sea!!"
These pirates aren't in a hurry; they're still on the outskirts. Right now, the most important thing is Whitebeard. We need to secure Whitebeard's location to ensure the success of our attack.
"Ace!! We're here!!"
"Even you..."
Ace's voice trembled slightly when he saw the person who had arrived.
"Fufufufufufufufu!! This is getting interesting! I'm getting more and more excited!! Come on, Whitebeard!!"
Doflamingo shouted excitedly, "Countless pirates want to take Whitebeard's head, and he is one of them."
Then, coo! Coo!
Bubbles rose from the surface of the sea inside the bay.
"Could it be that……"
Sengoku immediately noticed and his expression changed slightly.
"They really appeared from an unexpected place!"
