Chapter 538 The war begins!
Chapter 538 The war begins!
Although the battle was imminent, as time went by, the inner bay square of Marinford became surprisingly quiet.
The blue sky, white clouds and the sea, just looking at the beautiful scenery, would not make people realize that there would be gunpowder smoke.
"It's so quiet, but it makes people feel very uncomfortable... depressed."
"The storm is coming."
In front of a row of artillery on the high ground of the naval base, two naval generals talked softly.
On the execution platform below the field of vision, Sengoku, who had just announced Ace's identity, also had a solemn expression.
And Fire Fist Ace seemed to have completely lost his "spirit", his head was always drooping down, and never raised again.
"Huh?"
At this time, the companions around the two raised the telescope and made a sound of surprise.
"What's wrong?"
"It's pirates! The pirate group's major alliance fleet! Impossible? Where did they appear from?"
"Whitebeard Pirates! It's the Whitebeard Pirates!"
Accompanied by the screaming shouts, the whole Marinford was filled with harsh alarm sounds.
"There are more than 40 ships in total, all of them are famous pirates in the New World!"
"Come closer!"
"Attention, teams!"
Various voices mixed in the square at once, and all the navy's faces showed tension and timidity. There are very few people who can really ignore the reputation of the Four Emperors.
"Prepare for battle!"
Warring States' voice was also transmitted to the ears of every navy through the loudspeaker.
"Strange... I didn't see the Whitebeard Pirates' main ship Moby Dick... Where is Whitebeard?"
"Is he mixed in the fleet... No, Moby Dick is a super-large pirate ship with an amazing size. It is absolutely impossible to use other ships to cover his whereabouts."
"Besides, it's not Whitebeard's style."
As Whitebeard's fleet got closer and closer to the land of the port, after seeing the scene on the sea, all the senior officials of the Navy Headquarters frowned and thought. At this time, Admiral Akainu, who was sitting on a stone chair, moved his ears, as if he heard something.
Immediately afterwards, someone noticed something unusual.
The anchorage port in front of Marinford Island is a ‘hollow’ circular area. Warships can choose to dock outside the bay or follow the ‘circular’ gap to enter the inner bay. Once they enter the inner bay, they can land directly and come to the square.
At this time, the navy has deployed a large number of warships outside the bay to defend against the attack of the Whitebeard Pirates, but if... the ship of the Whitebeard Pirates appears directly in the inner bay, they can directly break in without anyone noticing.
Minimize the distance to the headquarters.
As expected, a large number of bubbles first appeared in the sea water of the inner bay, and then huge waves rose on the sea surface. A majestic and huge black shadow broke out of the water from the bottom of the sea and rose to the air. After splashing a rain curtain all over the sky, it fell down again and landed steadily on the sea surface.
It was not until then that all the navy saw clearly that the hull was coated with a layer of colorful bubble-like film.
It was the Whitebeard Pirates’ main ship, Moby Dick, that cleverly appeared in an unexpected way.
The coating covering the entire fleet exploded and sailed over.
Sengoku's face was gloomy. He finally knew how the Whitebeard Pirates had come to Marinford by hiding from the world.
On the navy side, some people have already seen that there are fourteen captain-level pirates standing on the deck of the Moby Dick, led by Marco and Diamond Joz. These are not counting the captain-level combat forces of the Whitebeard Pirates who are approaching from the rear. There are dozens of them in total, with a total of nearly fifty pirate ships. It is conservatively estimated that Whitebeard brought tens of thousands of people this time.
It is completely possible to clash with the 100,000 navy of Marinford.
The appearance of the Moby Dick made the atmosphere on the scene become subtle again.
It seemed that at this moment, all the navy had the feeling of being in the center of a world war.
There was no other reason. Before the battle started, the pressure was about to make some people with weak minds collapse.
Fortunately, the personnel on the navy side were all elites summoned from all over the world.
Ding, ding, ding.
Just like the few seconds before a gunpowder barrel was ignited, in the silent scene, the sound caused by a heavy iron hitting the ground touched everyone's heartstrings.
Just look at the bow of the Moby Dick, a figure holding an exaggerated long-handled knife, facing thousands of eyes, walked to the front, and then stood still.
The sea breeze blew the man's gown constantly, but what people care about is his "tall body" and oppressive eyes... and the most iconic white beard.
Edward Newgate, finally here!
"Zhan Guo, we haven't seen each other for decades..."
White Beard looked at Zhan Guo standing on the execution platform from a distance, and said calmly.
Zhan Guo groaned in silence.
"Wu La La La... Is my son okay? Thank you for taking care of him."
And Ace on the execution platform called Dad with a painful expression.
Ace "could not accept" the arrival of the Whitebeard Pirates. In his mind, it would be better for him to die like this, without involving his father and companions! Moreover, it was he who insisted on hunting down Teach, and ignored the dissuasion of his father and Marco and others, which led to his current fate.
He did not want to put his family in danger because of himself.
The captains of the Whitebeard Pirates, such as Marco, also shouted Ace's name loudly in the direction of the execution platform.
Everyone in the sea knew that anyone who hurt their Whitebeard Pirates would have to pay a price.
"Ace, wait a moment... I'll be there soon."
Bang!
After Whitebeard said that, he inserted the supreme sword Kusukumokiri in his hand into the wooden board under his feet, and then suddenly bent his arms, his momentum soaring.
Seeing this action, Sengoku's face changed.
Whitebeard's two arms were full of explosive "power", and with the help of the fruit ability, he suddenly hit the void on both sides of his body.
This power almost made the space make a sound like glass bursting, and there were invisible waves spreading rapidly with Whitebeard as the center.
In an instant, the sea began to surge.
The entire sea level in the inner bay and outside the bay was rising sharply.
The power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, driven by this man, can even distort the entire sea.
Looking down from the sky, the whole island, around Marinford, there are five or six currents larger than the island area... The area affected by Whitebeard's ability is not just Marinford, but an ocean that is nearly ten times larger than the entire Navy headquarters.
These seawaters that were shaken up continued to twist, and when they finally surged back... a tsunami that was enough to submerge Marinford appeared.
The entire square, or the 100,000 or so navy, was suddenly shocked to find that the sky had darkened... The seawater raised by the Four Emperors Whitebeard had reached the point of "covering the sky and the sun", becoming an irresistible natural disaster.
"This... is the power of the Four Emperors..."
"Monster... How can there be such a powerful human?!"
"As expected of a legendary man, 咈咈咈."
At this moment, the navy's soldiers and generals, the vice admirals of the headquarters, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea had different reactions.
But they were all amazed by the terrifying ability displayed by Whitebeard.
Whitebeard's move immediately increased the difficulty of this epic battle.
Just as the tsunami was about to hit and the upturned sea water was still in the air, someone finally couldn't sit still.
You can't just watch the whole island being submerged like this.
Aokiji disappeared from his original position in an instant, flashed to the sky, opened his hands, and shot out an ice column from his left and right palms, connecting to the "boiling" sea water, and said in a deep voice: "Ice Age!" With the activation of his ability, the huge tsunami was frozen into a primitive ice sculpture at an astonishing speed, losing its dynamics.
"Aokiji...you little brat."
Whitebeard looked up at Kuzan in the sky and snorted.
After resolving Whitebeard's first wave of attacks, Aokiji directly activated the fruit ability and took the initiative to attack Whitebeard.
…
“This is Whitebeard…”
“So strong.”
“Even more terrifying than Shiki the Golden Lion.”
“The lethality and power of the fruit ability, as well as some of the developed moves, are affected to a certain extent by personal physical strength. His fruit ability can actually reach this level… How abnormal must his body be? This is the top fruit ability among the current superhuman devil fruits!”
“It’s not just the special nature of this fruit that’s strong, but mainly because Whitebeard is too amazing.”
“Captain, can your ability reach this level?”
On the Blood Pluto, when Whitebeard displayed his fruit ability, several members of the Hell Pirates were shocked and couldn’t help but sigh.
Even Enelu stared at the screen and was speechless.
From his expression, it’s not difficult to see how shocked he was.
This was the first time he saw the combat performance of the Four Emperors with his own eyes.
While Crocodile, Barrett, and Waldo, who were old acquaintances of Whitebeard, seemed relatively calm.
"I can't do it." Facing Dom's question, Long shook his head and said very frankly. "Hehehe... This old man's strength is not as good as before. He was even more terrifying when he was in his prime... At that time, only Roger could compete with him on the sea." Barrett, who was folding his arms, said, "As for Golden Lion, although he is also very powerful... It can be said that he is not weaker than Roger and Whitebeard, but if these three are in their prime and fight one-on-one, the first to die must be Golden Lion." "Why don't you say anything? You should know more about this old man than I do." At this point, Barrett looked at Crocodile with a mocking tone. "Shut your dog mouth." Sand Crocodile's eyes turned cold. "Hahahaha." Barrett laughed unscrupulously. "This kind of powerful feeling is simply impossible to associate with his age." Looking at the picture, Whitebeard, who was blown away by a punch and the fruit move of Aokiji, commented. That's the admiral of the navy! If they were not both top fruit users, and their fruit was of the nature type… Even if Aokiji could dodge the punch just now, it would be difficult for him to withstand it.
“Don’t worry, keep watching… It’s not the time yet.”
Oboro said.
The members were sighing, but there was clearly an excitement in their words that they couldn’t wait to go to the scene.
The war at the top has just begun, and it hasn’t reached its climax yet… Let’s let these protagonists and supporting roles have fun for a while.
