Just then, a Navy lieutenant commander rushed to the bottom of the execution platform, saluted Sengoku, and loudly reported, "Fleet Admiral Sengoku, report! The Gates of Justice have not received any instructions and have automatically opened! Furthermore, we cannot contact the internal power room."
Sengoku's expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "What did you say?"
At the same time, the warship where Akira and the others were was just arriving at the Gates of Justice. Looking at the tightly closed Gates of Justice, everyone said dejectedly, "What should we do? How can such a big door be opened?"
"Akira, do you have any ideas?" Jinbe asked Akira.
Not only was Akira not anxious, but he revealed a smile and said, "Don't worry, it will open soon."
"What?" Jinbe didn't understand what Akira meant at all and asked, "Akira, what are you saying?"
Akira didn't answer directly, but said, "Just wait."
Luffy, on the other hand, was anxiously jumping up and down, shouting, "Why don't you let me punch it a few times? Maybe it will open."
Luffy's words immediately drew contempt from the others, "Do you think the Gates of Justice are people? You think it will open if you punch it a few times?"
But before these people could finish speaking, the huge Gates of Justice actually started to slowly open. Everyone was stunned, because Navy Headquarters had told them through the Den Den Mushi that it was impossible to open the Gates of Justice. But they had just arrived here, and the Gates of Justice had already opened. Was there such a bizarre thing?
At this time, the show-off expert, Clown Buggy, started his performance again, causing a group of prisoners to look at him with admiration.
Only a few people were very calm. Crocodile had initially frowned, but he quickly relaxed. Although he didn't know who exactly had opened the Gates of Justice, it was the best result for them.
Jinbe also asked in confusion, "Who exactly is it? The Gates of Justice should be controlled by the control room inside Marineford, right? No matter how you think about it, they couldn't possibly let us in."
Akira said softly, "Have you forgotten Blackbeard? If I'm not mistaken, he must have been the one who did it. Because he's a Shichibukai, he can enter Marineford. He started this war, and he can't stay out of it. He definitely has bigger plans. This should be his backup plan."
"Blackbeard?"
Jinbe's expression was a bit surprised, but after thinking about it, there was indeed such a possibility.
Akira said, "In any case, no matter what it's for, now that we can enter Navy Headquarters, this is the best result. There are still a few hours until the public execution. Pops and the others should be arriving soon, so we also need to speed up."
Jinbe controlled the warship, entered the Gates of Justice, and headed towards Navy Headquarters.
Marineford, Sengoku learned that the Gates of Justice had actually been opened, and his heart immediately became vigilant, but he didn't panic. Although it was a bit unexpected, the current situation was still under control. All he needed to worry about was how Whitebeard would appear and attack.
Looking at the still calm Navy, the entire Marineford fell into silence. At this time, everyone was extremely nervous, holding their breath, because the Whitebeard Pirates could appear at any time.
Sweat was already covering Sengoku's forehead. Although he was very confident in his heart, when things really came, his heart was still full of nervousness, because this war was crucial. If the Navy lost, it would inevitably cause turmoil in the world. At best, he would lose his position as Navy Fleet Admiral, and at worst, it could trigger a more chaotic situation than the Great Pirate Era, changing the current world order.
While everyone was holding their breath, at the location of the Shichibukai, all five of the Shichibukai had solemn expressions. Even Doflamingo, who was so arrogant and domineering, said in a serious voice, "Too unnatural, too quiet."
Rambo said in a low voice, "The calm before the storm?"
Just as these words were spoken, a large patch of dark clouds suddenly floated over from the distance. However, these clouds weren't real clouds, but a huge cloud of mist formed by a large number of pirate ships coming together, looking like dark clouds covering the sky.
On the lookout, the Navy soldier responsible for observation suddenly sounded the alarm, while using all his strength to shout, "They're here! The Whitebeard Pirates are here!"
The alarm sounded throughout the bay, and then someone shouted through a loudspeaker, "All personnel prepare for battle!"
In just a few minutes, dozens of huge pirate ships appeared in front of the Navy Headquarters' bay head. These pirate ships were neatly and orderly heading towards the Navy Headquarters' bay. The pirate flags hanging on them were all famous pirate crews in the New World.
Sengoku's gaze was gloomy, looking at that large patch of pirate ships. He didn't understand that the Whitebeard Pirates had actually appeared, and they had appeared so close. They were just a little bit away from the bay head. If they had come in through the Gates of Justice, that would have been impossible, because the Gates of Justice had just been opened. Even if they were fast, they couldn't have arrived here in an instant. So, they must have used other methods to enter here.
"What exactly is going on? How could they appear so close without being discovered at all?"
Ace was restrained on the execution platform, looking at those familiar pirate flags with disbelief, his heart unable to calm down for a long time.
"You, you, why are you all here?"
A vast number of pirate ships howled as they headed towards the Marineford bay head. The Navy's lookout soldiers looked at the pirate ships in the distance through binoculars, reporting as they looked, "Reporting to the Fleet Admiral, these pirate ships that have appeared are all pirate crews under the Whitebeard Pirates. They are all large pirate crews in the New World, but Whitebeard's pirate ship hasn't been discovered yet."
Listening to the reports from the people below, Sengoku's expression became more and more solemn. Not only Sengoku, but the other high-ranking Navy officials also became vigilant. Doflamingo, one of the Shichibukai, shouted excitedly, "Come on, Whitebeard!"
Just when all the Navy soldiers were extremely nervous, a strange sound of water suddenly rang out in the bay. Many powerful people heard this sound and involuntarily looked towards the surface of the sea in the bay.
They saw that the originally calm surface of the sea was suddenly shaking. Seeing this scene, Sengoku's whole body shook, and he said in horror, "Could it be?"
Garp, who was standing with Vice Admiral Tsuru below the execution platform, suddenly revealed a look of surprise and said in shock, "No way? Could it be that they will appear from there?"
Vice Admiral Tsuru also gritted her teeth and said, "It seems that we deployed the wrong formation."
The battle plan this time was all arranged by her. She had basically thought of all the attack methods that the Whitebeard Pirates could launch, but she was the only one who hadn't thought that the Whitebeard Pirates would actually appear from the seabed, so their formation was completely wrong.
Under the shocked gazes of everyone in the bay, increasingly large waves appeared on the surface of the sea in the bay, and an increasingly large shadow appeared in the center.
A sharp-eyed Navy soldier suddenly exclaimed, "It seems that there's a shadow appearing on the surface of the sea. Could it be?"
Sengoku understood everything. He said belatedly, "So that's how it is. All of their ships are coated, and then they came from the seabed? No wonder we haven't discovered their traces all along. They suddenly appeared all at once."
A huge pirate ship rushed out from the seabed and landed on the surface of the sea all at once. It was the Whitebeard Pirates' Moby Dick.
"It's not good! It's the Whitebeard Pirates' Moby Dick! They emerged from the seabed!"
After the Moby Dick appeared, three more pirate ships emerged from the seabed. The four ships were docked in four directions, with the bow of the Moby Dick facing the direction of the execution platform.
Because they were very close, the Navy in Marineford could see the situation on the Moby Dick.
"It's the Whitebeard Pirates! Standing in the front are the Whitebeard Pirates' division commanders!"
Looking at Marco and the others on the Moby Dick, Ace's mood was extremely complicated, both happy and moved, but also a little self-reproachful. If it wasn't for him, everyone definitely wouldn't have risked coming here.
Seeing that the people from the Whitebeard Pirates had really appeared, everyone's eyes widened, searching for Whitebeard's figure, because the protagonist of this war was Whitebeard, and Whitebeard was also the legendary pirate that the Navy was most wary of and feared.
Suddenly, a slow and heavy sound of footsteps came from the Moby Dick. They saw a tall figure, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, coming to the bow of the Moby Dick.
