Chapter 99: The Summit War, Whitebeard's Impact from Under the Sea
Marineford, Navy Headquarters.
The crescent-shaped bay and the island were surrounded by dozens of Navy warships.
The coast was equipped with various heavy cannons.
At the port, a hundred thousand elite Navy soldiers gathered, ready for battle, summoned from all over the world.
These soldiers were led by major Vice Admirals, and further back from the port, the Seven Warlords of the Sea (Shichibukai) were stationed.
There were Hancock, Moria, Doflamingo, Hawkeye Mihawk, and Kuma.
Behind the Warlords stood the Navy Admirals.
Aokiji Kuzan, Akainu Sakazuki, and Kizaru Borsalino.
However, Kizaru now had a strange mechanical arm attached.
Half of his face also appeared burned.
Behind the three Admirals was a huge execution platform, where Fire Fist Ace was bound.
Beside him stood Sengoku, Garp, and two executioners.
They were only waiting for the time to come to execute Fire Fist Ace by beheading.
The Navy held the defensive advantage; even a fly would find it hard to break in, let alone anyone else.
However, all of this was for one man.
One pirate crew.
One of the Four Emperors of the New World!
The strongest man in the world, a man with power enough to shake the world.
Whitebeard and his pirate crew.
A chilling atmosphere permeated the battlefield.
Even the three Admirals looked seriously at the sea ahead.
The deterrence of the Whitebeard Pirates was too great.
"They've appeared! Whitebeard's fleet!"
At this moment, a soldier shouted.
Everyone looked toward the sea ahead and saw dozens of pirate ships heading toward Marineford.
"That's McGuy!"
"Islewan, and Kingdew!"
"The captains of pirate ships affiliated with the Whitebeard Pirates. Truly terrifying!"
The Navy soldiers discussed among themselves, some even showing a trace of panic on their faces.
These affiliated captains of the Whitebeard Pirates were all pirates with bounties over 100 million.
"All personnel, enter combat status!"
Sengoku's face was grim. Everything had been prepared long ago.
But he had underestimated the impact Whitebeard had on the soldiers.
43 fleets, all mobilized.
Then, where are the main ship and Whitebeard's division commanders?
"Full alert, ready for battle at any time!"
"For Justice!"
The Vice Admirals shouted one after another.
"For Justice!"
The Navy soldiers shouted in unison, their voices shaking the sky.
At this moment, morale was restored!
"What terrifying Justice!"
"And precisely because of this, I am tired of this power!"
Doflamingo muttered to himself.
The Navy's cohesion was too strong.
Occupying the moral high ground of public opinion; although the strength of the lower and middle-ranking Navy soldiers wasn't much, their numbers were vast.
Moreover, this concept of Justice was enough to prevent pirates from completely dominating the seas.
"I didn't expect the strength of the Whitebeard Pirates to have expanded to this extent over the years!"
"43 pirate ships, 43 captain-level figures, all brought out!"
"A big move. They want to fight our Navy to the death!"
A Vice Admiral couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
The power Whitebeard had gathered was likely not inferior to the Navy Headquarters.
"The final victory will inevitably belong to Justice!"
A Navy Vice Admiral said seriously.
"That's right, victory will inevitably belong to Justice!"
The Vice Admirals reassured the troops.
Under the leadership of Sengoku the Buddha, everyone would surely win.
Moreover, the Navy had a backup plan.
Furthermore, after this battle, the Whitebeard Pirates, having gathered all their strength, would ultimately fall.
But the Navy had only summoned a portion of its soldiers.
As long as Whitebeard was killed and the Navy won, a large number of people on the sea would join the Navy.
At that time, sooner or later, pirates could be exterminated.
Everything starts with exterminating the Four Emperor Whitebeard!
However, as the pirate fleet got closer and closer, Whitebeard's ship still hadn't appeared.
The unknown enemy is the most terrifying.
Especially Whitebeard and his division commanders.
Tick-tock, tick-tock. Time passed bit by bit, wearing down the Navy's patience.
At this moment, a bubbling sound suddenly came from the water surface.
In the next instant, the water surface exploded, and a colossal object rushed out of the water.
"The Moby Dick!"
"Whitebeard has appeared!"
"The port has been breached!"
The Navy exclaimed. No one had expected Whitebeard to attack Marineford from underwater.
In an instant, the maritime defense line was broken.
"Gurararara!"
"Sengoku, Garp, we haven't seen each other for decades!"
"Meeting today truly brings a special feeling!"
Whitebeard stood at the bow of the ship, imposing and majestic.
His gaze looked toward the execution platform, involuntarily revealing a trace of softness.
"Ace, my beloved son, Pops is here to save you!"
At this moment, Whitebeard didn't look like an awe-inspiring emperor at all.
He was clearly a father, a soft and gentle family member.
"Pops!"
Tears streamed down Ace's face. If not for his own conceit, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
His stubbornness had harmed the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Gurararara!"
"Pops will get you out right away!"
Whitebeard's voice was domineering, returning to his state as a conqueror.
"Fuffuffuffu, is the war starting?"
"The new era is about to descend!"
Doflamingo laughed loudly.
The more chaotic this world became, the more pleased he was.
Because he could profit from it and even overturn this world.
"I really want that body!"
"With it, I can definitely defeat Kaido!"
Greed appeared in Moria's eyes.
Whitebeard's body would definitely create a powerful zombie.
"Husband, where will you be?"
Hancock looked around.
She had agreed with Satan that he would pick her up during the Summit War.
At that time, they would set sail together!
Kuma remained expressionless; his emotions had been completely stripped away.
As for Hawkeye, his gaze swept over everyone but revealed a lack of interest.
There were no suitable opponents here.
"Stop him!"
Sengoku gave the order.
"Then try it!"
Whitebeard laughed loudly. He spread his arms and clenched his fists tightly.
Crack!
The sound of cracking came from the space around his fists, sounding like shattering glass.
Like a spiderweb, cracks spread continuously toward the surroundings.
"This is... a seaquake!"
Sengoku's face changed drastically. After so many years, he saw this iconic move again.
Seeing the space starting to shatter, he hurriedly ordered: "Start the war! Target: Whitebeard Pirates!"
"War!"
"War! For Justice!"
The entire Marineford resounded with the voices of the crusade against pirates.
This also instantly ignited the flames of war between the two sides.
At the same time, in the sky above Marineford, a huge door suddenly opened.
"Zehahaha, looks like we made it in time!"
Inside the space within the door, a group of people appeared.
It was Satan and his crew!
The Doa Doa no Mi (Door-Door Fruit) could open doors anytime, anywhere.
Allowing them to be in mid-air, becoming the spectators with the best view overlooking the entire battlefield!
