While Doflamingo and Hawkeye were talking, on the execution platform behind them in the plaza, Ace was also escorted up at this moment.
Seeing that everything was ready, Sengoku, standing next to Ace, immediately picked up the den den mushi in his hand and said into it,
"You can start!"
A response immediately came from the other side.
"Yes! Fleet Admiral Sengoku!"
Then, a series of reports came through.
"Live broadcast starting now, activate all video den den mushi immediately!"
"Video den den mushi No. 1 activated!"
"Video den den mushi No. 2 activated!"
"No. 3..."
As voices rang out from within, all the scenes in the entire plaza of Marineford were broadcast live to the whole world through the video den den mushi at various camera positions.
All civilians, Marine, pirates, Revolutionary Army, and Government personnel in the four great seas of East, West, South, and North, the Grand Line, the New World, Mary Geoise, and all other places, watched the live broadcast that had just begun.
This was a major battle that would determine the future world order, so Sengoku, after discussing with the Gorosei, decided to broadcast this historic battle to the entire world.
When the live broadcast appeared, almost everyone in the world immediately focused their eyes on the live broadcast screen, becoming incredibly excited and nervous.
"It's starting! It's starting! There's footage!"
"Is that Fire Fist Ace, the target of this execution?"
"The Marine's power looks so exaggerated! I've never seen such a grand display!"
"The Marine is so strong, the Whitebeard Pirates can't possibly win!"
"Don't underestimate that man! Whitebeard is hailed as the strongest man in the world, the peak of this era!"
"God! What will this world become?"
As the whole world was anxious about this live broadcast, Sengoku looked at Garp beside him and said to him,
"Garp! I'm going to tell everything! Are you okay with that?"
Garp immediately turned his head away and said through gritted teeth,
"Whatever you want! I'm going down!"
With that, he went to the bottom of the execution platform and stood with Tsuru.
Seeing this, Sengoku no longer had any burden.
He picked up the den den mushi that was broadcasting to all the Marine present and the world, and began to speak.
"Next, there's something I need to tell everyone!"
"It's about the significant meaning of Portgas D. Ace, this man, dying here today!"
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately shifted their attention to Sengoku.
Then, people 24 saw Sengoku suddenly start talking to Ace beside him.
"Ace! Tell me your father's name!"
Hearing Sengoku mention Ace's father, everyone felt a wave of confusion.
They didn't understand why Sengoku would bring up Ace's father at such a time.
But Ace, upon hearing this question, immediately frowned, clearly very unwilling to mention it.
He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice,
"My father... is Whitebeard!"
As soon as Ace finished speaking, Sengoku directly denied it.
"That's wrong!"
And Ace immediately seemed provoked, roaring loudly,
"I'm right!"
"I only have one father..."
"It's Whitebeard!"
However, this time Sengoku no longer paid attention to him, speaking to the den den mushi on his own.
"At that time, we desperately searched."
"For a certain man's child who might be on a certain island!"
"Although we used every means, we found nothing!"
"That's only natural!"
"Because your mother, Portgas D. Rouge, gambled her life to give birth to you."
"She carried you for 20 months to protect you."
"Later, she used up all her strength while giving birth to you, and died on the spot!"
"She used this method to hide you from us... No! Even to hide you from the whole world!"
"So, one year and three months after your father's death..."
"The child who inherited the world's most evil bloodline..."
"That is you, was born!"
When Sengoku spoke to this point, Ace's face was already incredibly grim.
His eyes were filled with rage, and he gnashed his teeth in hatred.
And everyone in the world watched this scene in confusion, filled with curiosity.
At this moment, Sengoku suddenly looked at Ace and said word by word,
"You can't possibly not know, can you!"
"Your father is..."
"The Pirate King Gol D. Roger!!!"
Boom!
As soon as these words came out!
All the Marine in Marineford, including the entire world, erupted.
Everyone showed infinite astonishment at this bombshell news.
"Fire Fist Ace is... Roger's son?!"
"It... it still exists?! The Pirate King's bloodline!"
"Did that most evil bloodline actually survive?! Weren't all people related to Roger executed back then?"
"That kind of evil criminal, quickly execute him!"
This news also shocked countless famous people.
Doflamingo couldn't help but say in surprise,
"Oh? I didn't expect such an interesting thing!"
"What an unexpected gain!"
Although Hawkeye didn't speak, he also frowned, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes.
At the same time.
Big Mom, Kaido, Dragon, and other important figures who were watching the live broadcast on screen were also shocked by this news.
Big Mom ate sweets, saying excitedly,
"I never expected Roger to have a son!"
"But it looks like this son doesn't really acknowledge his father!"
"Mama! Mama!"
Kaido gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with anger and regret, as he roared.
"Hmph! If that Red Hair bastard hadn't stopped me!"
"I would have personally killed Whitebeard and Roger's son!"
"The next era will be the era of Kaido, the King of Beasts!"
When Dragon learned of this news, besides shock, he also felt a slight worry, muttering to himself.
"I never imagined Ace had such an identity."
"If he were to be executed, Luffy would surely be very sad!"
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a pained struggle from beside him.
He looked over to see Sabo frowning, his face twisted in pain, yet stubbornly enduring to sit there and watch the live broadcast.
"Sabo, do you have a headache again? Why don't you go back and rest for a while?"
Dragon looked at Sabo's pained expression and couldn't help but advise him.
But this time, Sabo shook his head resolutely and said.
"No! Soon!"
"I have a feeling…"
"I'm about to remember my past memories!"
"I must know this Ace and that person named Luffy."
"I must watch this live broadcast; I will definitely remember!"
...
While the whole world was shocked by the news, Sengoku continued to speak to Ace.
"It must have been two years ago!"
"You used your mother's surname…"
"And as the Captain of the Spade Pirates, you began to display extraordinary power, gaining fame on the sea at an extremely fast pace."
"We finally discovered that Roger's bloodline had not been severed."
"But Whitebeard, who discovered this at the same time as us…"
"To cultivate you into the next Pirate King, he actually let the son of his former archenemy board his ship!"
Hearing Sengoku say this, Ace immediately retorted angrily.
"No! I boarded his ship to make Pops the Pirate King!"
Sengoku immediately said coldly.
"Only you think that way!"
"We've never been able to easily lay hands on you…"
"It's because Whitebeard has always been protecting you!"
Upon hearing this, Ace's eyes revealed infinite shock and disbelief.
He could not believe what he had just heard.
And Sengoku continued to speak.
"If we ignore you…"
"You will definitely stand at the pinnacle of the next generation of pirates and begin to exert your power!"
"Therefore, executing you here today holds significant meaning!"
"Even if it means a full-scale war with the Whitebeard Pirates, we will not hesitate!"
When Sengoku finished speaking, the entire Marine instantly became incredibly resolute, each one filled with fighting spirit.
Executing the Pirate King's bloodline and preventing a pirate from once again reaching the pinnacle was an inescapable duty for all Marines who upheld justice.
Just as Sengoku had finished announcing this to the world, in the distance on the sea, the shadows of dozens of pirate ships suddenly appeared simultaneously!
"They're here!"
"Everyone… prepare for battle!"
This sudden scene caught Sengoku off guard, and he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"They appeared suddenly? Where did they come from…"
And as he was surprised, those dozens of pirate ships rapidly approached, allowing people to clearly see their flags and the figures on board.
Soon, reports and exclamations rang out within the Marine.
"It's a large fleet made up of pirate ships!"
"Where is Whitebeard? Find him quickly!"
"Doma the Adventurer! The Decalvan Brothers! Squard the Great Whirlpool Spider…"
"What a terrifying lineup! All of them are renowned Captains from the New World!"
"There are a total of 43 pirate ships, but no trace of Whitebeard's crew has been found!"
Seeing the approaching figures, Ace was very surprised and at the same time felt incredibly remorseful, muttering.
"Even you all…"
As these pirate ships continuously approached, inquiries immediately came from the warships on the outer perimeter to Sengoku.
"Should we launch an attack?"
Sengoku frowned tightly, searching anxiously for any trace of the Whitebeard Pirates' ship, and said quickly.
"Wait! Whitebeard must be nearby!"
"He must have some scheme!"
"Pay attention to the situation on the sea!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sengoku suddenly saw a large number of bubbles gurgling up in the center of the Crescent Moon Bay ahead, and several huge dark figures continuously surfaced.
Seeing this, Sengoku immediately frowned tightly, and a few drops of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
"Could it be…"
Just as an unexpected thought surfaced in Sengoku's mind.
Splash!
A series of "splash" sounds suddenly rang out, and four pirate ships successively emerged from the water.
Such a sight immediately caused exclamations to ring out among the Marine.
"Ahhh…!"
"They appeared! It's Whitebeard!"
"All 14 commanders are here too!"
"Oh no! They coated their ships and snuck in from underwater!"
"Now the enemy has invaded the bay! Prepare for battle!"
Amidst these exclamations and shouts, Sengoku's gaze was already fixed on the man standing on the Moby Dick directly facing him.
He frowned and muttered in a deep voice.
"Whitebeard…"
As Sengoku stared intently at Whitebeard, Whitebeard also saw him at first glance.
He grinned and laughed loudly.
"Gurarararara…"
"Sengoku! It's been decades, hasn't it?"
After greeting Sengoku, Whitebeard then turned and said.
"My beloved son… is he alright?"
As he spoke these words, Whitebeard's eyes held boundless fury, yet a confident smile remained on his face, making him appear incredibly imposing.
"Pops…"
Ace shouted with all his might at this moment, his eyes filled with infinite remorse and excitement.
Hearing this, Whitebeard's gaze fell on Ace, his eyes filled with concern and affection, and he grinned.
"Ace… just wait a little longer!"
With that, he suddenly clenched both fists.
He crossed his hands, then suddenly separated them, swinging each arm to its respective side.
Boom! Boom!
Instantly, two explosive sounds echoed out of thin air.
Then, people watched in utter shock as the air where his fists had swung.
The void was violently shattered, like broken glass, leaving two huge cracks spreading outwards in the air.
Such a sight immediately caused a chorus of exclamations from the Marine.
"No way?! The atmosphere actually cracked?!"
"Is that real or fake?!"
Just as people were shocked.
People suddenly felt the ground shaking violently.
Extremely violent explosions occurred on both sides of the distant sea surface.
The seawater rapidly rose, as if a super volcano had erupted, pushing the seawater quickly upwards.
In an instant, two mountain-high waves formed, raging and sweeping across the sea surface.
The warships on both sides were tossed wildly in the waves, completely out of control, and several were swallowed and destroyed by the giant waves in the blink of an eye.
Such a shocking scene left all the Marine completely stunned.
Panic-stricken exclamations were heard everywhere in the crowd.
"Ahhh…!"
"Oh no! The water level has gotten so high!"
"It's like a terrifying earthquake has occurred!"
"What kind of power is this?! It's too terrifying!"
Just as everyone was worried and fearful about this, the shaking suddenly stopped, and the giant waves that appeared on both sides also suddenly dispersed into the distance, gradually disappearing.
Everything seemed to return to normal.
Such a change immediately left everyone confused and bewildered.
But Sengoku, at this moment, frowned tightly, his expression becoming increasingly grave.
He muttered to himself.
"It's a seaquake…"
As people were surprised by the sudden silence in the air, Ace at this moment said remorsefully.
"Pops…"
"Everyone…"
"Why?"
"Why are you still bothering with me?"
"All of this is because of my willfulness!"
After Blackbeard killed Thatch, Whitebeard and Marco had advised Ace not to pursue Blackbeard, but Ace ignored their warnings, adamantly refusing to tolerate Blackbeard's actions.
This ultimately led to the current situation.
Now, seeing these people risk their lives because of his willfulness, Ace felt immense self-reproach.
Just as Ace was deep in self-blame, Whitebeard suddenly and sternly denied his words.
"No!"
"Ace! I told you to go!"
Upon hearing this, Ace immediately shouted excitedly.
"Nonsense! Don't talk rubbish!"
"You tried to stop me then, but I…"
As Ace was speaking, Whitebeard suddenly turned to Marco and said,
"Hey, Marco! Didn't I tell him to go back then?"
Marco nodded and said,
"Yes! I heard it too!"
With that, he stepped forward, came to Whitebeard's side, and said to Ace,
"Ace, you've worked hard!"
"On this vast sea, everyone should know…"
"What fate awaits those who harm our comrades!"
"Ace! We won't let anyone who harms you get away with it!"
"Just wait a little longer, we'll be there to save you soon!"
Listening to Whitebeard and Marco's every word, Ace gritted his teeth, tears shimmering in his eyes, unable to utter a single word.
Just then, the ground suddenly began to tremble violently again.
The entire Marineford was engulfed in violent shaking.
At the same time, two incredibly massive and towering waves suddenly surged from both sides of the island, even more exaggerated than before.
The two towering waves approached Marineford in a pincer movement, rapidly, with the momentum to submerge the entire island.
