After months of discussions, Sengoku finally made sure that everything was safe and issued a public execution declaration against Ace.
"This man's crimes are so heinous that heaven and earth will not tolerate him!"
"... In half a month, he will be publicly executed at the Navy Headquarters, Marineford! I hope people from all walks of life will spread the word and take it as a warning!"
poi…
The phone bug was turned on, made a suspicious noise, and fell into a deep sleep.
There was silence on the deck, but everyone clenched their fists, stared at a pair of fire-breathing eyes, and gritted their teeth.
"Dad, I want to..."
“Don’t think about it, just do it!”
"Goo la la la la la!"
"Whitebeard" Edward Newgate, a legend of this era, stood up with a knife in his hand. The infusion tube connected to his body was severed by his movement. The frightened nurses on both sides tried to dissuade him.
But Whitebeard ignored them and looked directly at his sons with his narrow and domineering eyes, shocking them.
"The Whitebeard Pirates have never abandoned their comrades!"
"Ace did a great job. In order to save his brother, he even broke into Canglong's territory... Do you think we will be inferior to him?"
"Won't!!"
There was a roar on the deck. This kind of bond between each other as family members is far closer than the simple blood bond of Big Mom.
"Goo la la la la la!"
"Very good, as expected of my sons!"
Whitebeard laughed loudly, and ripples spread out along the Moby-Dick with the laughter, creating majestic waves on the sea.
"My old bones seem to have been deflated by the Warring States Period..."
"Isn't war what the navy wants?"
"They want war, then I will give them war!!!"
At the command, the pirate ships belonging to Whitebeard's fleet rushed towards the Moby-Dick from all directions.
The seawater in the new world suddenly boiled, and a terrible sense of depression enveloped the sea, letting everyone know what choice Whitebeard made in the face of the navy's naked provocation.
War, the truly unprecedented decisive battle!
Unlike the original battle with the Big Mom Pirates, which was slowly entangled with defense instead of attack, a peak battle is about to begin where the navy takes the initiative and both sides fight for their entire wealth!
…
As the Whitebeard Pirates began to take action, at the same time, various naval departments also started operating.
A number of officers with outstanding combat capabilities, at least at the level of major, were mobilized from various branches of the Four Seas and the Grand Line. They converged into a torrent of iron and steel that was more terrifying than the previous iron serum inspections, and swam up to the navy headquarters to help out.
The reason why no one dares to challenge Whitebeard is not only because he is personally known as "the strongest in the world", but also because the pirate group that supports him is the most powerful among the four emperors, especially in terms of combat power.
He doesn't have as many blood children as Big Mom, but he has more adopted sons and daughters!
He doesn't have as many war lunatics under Kaido who are not afraid of death, but he has countless pirate captains who are willing to go through fire and water for him!
And these people all call him "Dad" and regard Ace as a "brother".
When all these people gather together, you can imagine what kind of craze will be set off? !
At the same time, facing the attack of Whitebeard's army, the navy directly mobilized 100,000 elites to ensure that everything was safe!
A total of one hundred thousand, with the help of lightning stimulation equipment, elite soldiers as strong as cows!
Originally, when some guys who had confidence in Whitebeard, the "strongest in the world," saw the ship after ship of powerful and outrageous officers rushing to the decisive battle site, they couldn't help but fight and hide themselves.
These rare general-level officers who usually sit in command appeared together, putting unprecedented pressure on them!
The most powerful force in the Grand Line, the Navy Headquarters is not really functioning. The world is horrified to discover why they can exist for more than 800 years and always stand on the top of the sea.
"Lieutenant General Canglong, please let me join the battle!"
When the Navy was mobilizing personnel in a large scale, Ron, as the commander-in-chief of the assassination force, was too busy to catch up. He finally took a moment to find Zefa for a sip of wine, but he was immediately approached by the kid who got the news.
"Hahahaha, you are so brave!"
Zefa's face was red with wine. He looked at Kebi, who looked determined in front of him, and nodded appreciatively.
But then his face suddenly changed and he scolded him seriously.
"But you ignore discipline and disobey orders, and even threaten your superiors. Do you know how big of a mistake you have made? Lieutenant Kebi!"
That's right, after continuous efforts, Kebi finally... improved a little bit compared to the original work, climbing from the military rank of "Cao Commander" ahead of schedule.
Well, in the position of second lieutenant.
However, this time the mobilization order of the headquarters is only for the rank of major and above. Even if Ron opens the back door for him, he is still a second lieutenant. The gap in strength between Kerby and the standard can be imagined.
Including the thunder and lightning stimulation equipment exercise that most soldiers have the opportunity to do, he has only entered the first stage.
It's not even as good as Ron who defeated Shuzuo in the end-of-year evaluation... He defeated Shuzuo through trickery. It only took Ron two months to reach his current level of strength, but it took him two full years.
"Yes! I'm so sorry!!"
Kirby quickly stood at attention and saluted.
He knew very well what status the old man in front of him had in the navy.
Among the sixteen lieutenant generals of the corps, twelve or three were all taught by him. Including the current three generals, they are also his students, so Kebi does not dare to be careless in his attitude.
"Whether you let me be a logistics soldier, please Lieutenant General, this is my lifelong request!!"
The top battlefield, let's call it that, will naturally not be entirely composed of officers above the major level.
The support troops and logistics troops that should be there are also on that battlefield, but the focus of the original work is focused on the protagonists, making them very inconspicuous.
Kebi is obviously going to join this group of troops who are even defined as cannon fodder and appear on the battlefield.
"Why?!"
Ron glanced at his teacher, turned his head, and said while holding the wine glass.
"You should know that you have no strength and no right to interfere in the direction of the war."
"Then why are you joining the fight?! Tell me a reason, Kirby."
"because… "
Kebi lowered his head and grabbed the hem of his clothes with his fist: "If we fight, many people will die!"
"Even if you let me go up and help move the wounded, as long as I still have strength, it doesn't matter if I get injured or die."
After saying that, Kebi raised his head and stared ahead with his red eyes: "At least, don't let me watch them die!"
Those colleagues...
Colonel Crow who persuaded himself to eat more and stuffed himself with a lot of hard-to-swallow food on the pretext of growing taller; Major Rila who liked to tease his relationship with Nami when they were not doing anything; and the one who was injured on a mission. Major Anna whom he treated with great care.
They are all within the scope of the mobilization order for this battlefield.
Not to mention these G10 officers who had a close relationship with him, even strangers who had nothing to do with him, Kebi did not want to do nothing but receive notification of their death in the evening one day after the war.
Regarding Kebi's answer, Zefa was silent.
Then he turned around with a surprised look on his face and stared at Ron with a strange look like "How could a cold-blooded animal like you teach such a good subordinate?"
The corner of Ron's mouth twitched, and he looked back with a look that said, "Smorg has been training him for the past two years, it's none of my business."
Then Zefa was even more surprised and answered with disbelief: "That Smoker? Do you think I have dementia?!"
Ron: "..."
How do I know this
Who do you want me to talk to for reason
Such is human nature!
After a long pause, Ron suddenly put his finger on his forehead and said in a deep voice: "Major General Smoker, come to Teacher Zefa, we have something to tell you."
In front of the headquarters fortress, Smoker was arranging soldiers to transport supplies at the port: "..."
I can guarantee...
Nothing good will happen!
(□′)┻━┻
"Lieutenant General, what do you mean?"
In the courtyard, Kebi asked happily with a surprised look on his face.
"No, don't think too much. I'm looking for Smoker because I have other things to tell him."
Ron waved his hand and suddenly said under Kebi's disappointed and numb gaze: "As for you, go report to Ai Yin and then act with them."
What is a more exciting psychological gap than going from heaven to hell
That is going from heaven to hell and back again!
Kebi cried with joy, stood upright and shouted loudly: "Understood!"
"But I'll say it first!"
Ron unleashed his domineering force, causing Kebi to freeze instantly, as if there was some savage beast in front of him, and he instinctively thought of running away in fear.
"This war is unprecedented, and no one has the obligation to protect you, Kirby."
“If you don’t want to cause trouble to others, don’t do things beyond your ability.”
"Otherwise...even if you don't die on the battlefield, get out of the navy, do you understand?!"
Kebi was silent for a moment and raised his head firmly.
"clear!"
Watching his leaving figure, Zefa took a sip of his wine and said leisurely: "You said some nonsense, Ron."
"This kind of brat likes to do things that are beyond his ability."
"Of course... I'm just reminding him that the war will not change because of his ideas, especially when he doesn't have the strength to stop and change it."
"Don't think that because I agreed to let him join the battle, he is no longer a character."
Ron shook his head and said no more. This kind of thinking is commonly known as chuunibyou.
As we all know, chuunibyou is a terminal illness!
For this little guy who regarded Luffy as his lifelong rival in the original work, he has a more important use.
