Chapter 5: 05 Wrath from the old Era
Marineford.
A huge building with a seagull pattern stands in the middle of the island.
This building is…
Marines Headquarters!
Following the announcement of the execution of Ace, Marines Headquarters deployed various defences.
A warship docked in front of the bay.
The bay was bristling with numerous cannons, effectively barricading the entirety of the Marineford enclosure.
Of course, in addition to these basic defences.
One hundred thousand elite Marines and Shichibukai who had been summoned also all arrived.
They bided their time, eagerly awaiting the inevitable moment when the Whitebeard Pirates would unknowingly fall right into their trap.
Headquarters Fleet Admiral Office.
Startled, a marine soldier burst into the room with a sense of urgency.
"What's the matter? Don't panic!"
Sengoku scolded.
"Marshal Sengoku, the 23 warships monitoring Whitebeard, all lost contact!"
The marine soldier saluted, and then said hurriedly.
"What?!"
Sengoku's face changed drastically when he heard this.
He knows what it means for a warship to lose contact.
"Last night the headquarters still kept in touch with the warships under surveillance, but just half an hour ago, all the 23 warships lost their response. No matter how they called, they did not reply."
The marine soldier recounted what had happened.
"I see!"
Sengoku took a deep breath and calmed himself down:
"Call all Vice Admiral and above generals to come to the conference room council!"
"Yes!"
The marine soldier retreated.
Soon, news of the convocation reached every Vice Admiral and Three Admiral.
After receiving the news, a group of Vice Admiral came to the meeting room, sitting on both sides of the long table in the meeting room, holding their breath, waiting for Sengoku to speak.
However, among the many senior generals, only one is missing.
And this person is impressively known as the Marine hero Garp!
"What about Garp?"
Sengoku, who was standing in the front, looked around, and suddenly asked in a deep voice after seeing that a figure was missing.
"He doesn't want to come."
Vice Admiral Tsuru shook her head.
"This guy!"
Sengoku frowned, but he also knew why Garp didn't want to come.
Because Ace, who is about to be executed, is Garp's grandson!
"Then don't wait for him!"
After saying, glanced at all the senior generals, his expression became extremely serious: "Everyone has come here, I must know the news!"
"Um!"
The Admirals nodded.
"All 23 warships monitoring Whitebeard have lost contact, which shows that Whitebeard has already started!"
"And Whitebeard has only one purpose!"
"That's…to rescue Fire Fist Ace!"
Sengoku said loudly.
As Sengoku uttered those words, the atmosphere of the meeting room changed.
The generals' eyes shrank, and and a grave expression settled upon their faces.
Even though they had been aware of the news prior to the meeting, hearing it from Sengoku himself still shook them.
Because Whitebeard is no ordinary person.
He's one of the Four Emperors, known as the strongest man in the world.
Once he come to Marineford to rescue Ace, you will undoubtedly lead to a clash Marine Headquarters.
At that time, the entire Marine Headquarters may be ruined!
"So Scary~"
"Whitebeard Pirates have made their move, it's so terrible~"
Admiral Kizaru remarked with a twisted face and a nonchalant pose, appearing somewhat amused.
"The Whitebeard Pirate is very powerful. If all of them are dispatched, it is indeed a big trouble!"
Admiral Aokiji on the side nodding without hesitation.
In the end, Sakazuki, known as 'Admiral Akainu', remained silent and seemed to be thinking about something.
The rest of Vice Admiral also frowned, thinking the news was troublesome.
"Now that Whitebeard has disabled the monitoring warships, it's clear he's prepared for war. It's highly likely that the Whitebeard Pirates have already approached Marineford!"
Vice Admiral Tsuru interjected just as everyone was growing more serious.
"Yes!"
Sengoku nodded, and his face became heavy again: "But I don't know what Whitebeard is doing, or whether Whitebeard has come out in full force. Without specific information, we have fallen into a passive position!"
"So Scary~"
"I heard that Whitebeard cares about his family most. Fire fist Ace will be executed. Whitebeard will not abandon his son, right?"
Kizaru interjected.
When the words fell, Sengoku fell silent.
He and Whitebeard are also old opponents and know each other very well.
Now Fire Fist Ace is arrested and is about to be put to death.
With Whitebeard's character, he will definitely try his best to rescue him.
So even if you don't know the information, you can guess what Whitebeard will do next.
"Borsalino is right!"
"Before the execution of Fire Fist Ace, Whitebeard will definitely come!"
"So…be prepared for the battle!"
Vice Admiral Tsuru tone became serious.
When these words fell, the atmosphere in the conference room became more serious.
Some Vice Admiral's breathing was even more stagnant, and felt an invisible pressure.
Who is Whitebeard? Everyone int the New World know who he is!
A rival and old opponent of Pirate King Gol D Roger.
Also known as… the strongest man in the world!
Even the Red Hair, Big Mom and Kaido who are also part of the Four Emperors, cannot even be compared to the old man in terms of strength and reputation.
Now Marine's behaviour has completely angered the old man Whitebeard
The next thing they have to face is the monstrous anger of this old man!
This leaves some Vice Admirals, who have never encountered such a formidable opponent before, uncertain about their ability to defeat the legendary old man.
"In that case, before the execution, everyone is fully prepared!"
"Whitebeard's strength is beyond imagination. It is Marine's strongest enemy. This battle can only be won without defeat!"
Sengoku took a deep breath and shouted in a deep voice.
"Yes!"
A group of high-ranking generals responded in unison.
After the meeting, the news that 23 warships lost contact also spread throughout Marineford
All Marines and Shichibukai know about it.
Whitebeard has set off for Marineford.
For a time, the cloud of war enveloped the entire island.
Whether Marine Admirals or Shichibukai, they all have a heavy heart, knowing that they are about to endure the wrath of this strongest man in the world!
