Hearing that the World Government had exposed this fact to the entire world, Ace could only grit his teeth.

Because of this bloodline, he was despised and rejected by the world. His mother had died because of this bloodline!

<><><><><><><><>

"F-Fire Fist Ace! Is Gold Roger’s son??"

On Sabaody Archipelago, everyone watching the live broadcast was completely stunned by this news.

"THIS IS HUGE NEWS! CONTACT HQ IMMEDIATELY! PREPARE AN EXTRA EDITION!" The reporters went into a frenzy.

The Pirate King’s evil bloodline still existed on these seas. Many people even fell to the ground in terror.

It wasn’t an overreaction. Gold Roger’s significance to this era was too immense.

No... this Great Pirate Era was single-handedly started by Gold Roger. His words before his execution—"I left everything I have in that place!"—had completely ignited the era, beginning the Great Age of Pirates!

The World Government deemed Roger’s bloodline the most evil not just because he reached Laugh Tale and became Pirate King—but because he started this Great Pirate Era.

<><><><><><><><>

"B-But he’s been captured! Fire Fist Ace is about to be publicly executed!"

Amidst the panic, a sharp voice rang out, quickly calming the crowd.

"Th-That’s right. Fire Fist Ace is doomed! In less than three hours, it will all be over. The Pirate King was executed, and his bloodline will be completely eradicated! The Great Pirate Era will end today!"

Loud shouts echoed through the crowd.

This was what Sengoku meant by the immense impact Ace’s execution would have on the world.

Roger’s last words had sparked a fire that burned to this day, sending countless pirates to sea in search of the ONE PIECE. But to this day, no pirate had found it.

Many of the younger generation on the seas were already beginning to doubt its existence. Just like in Mock Town, a gathering place for pirates in the first half of the Grand Line, a tide of scorning dreams had begun to spread among the pirate community.

Now, Sengoku would deliver the final blow to this dream—using Fire Fist Ace’s execution to completely shatter the pirates’ hopes.

Without dreams, in this power system built on the foundation of spiritual strength, the remaining pirates would pose no real threat. The Great Pirate Era would slowly be brought to an end!

And Sengoku’s psychological warfare continued.

<><><><><><><><>

"At the same time, Whitebeard, aware of this fact, took the son of his former rival onto his ship, intending to groom you into the next Pirate King—" Sengoku stated coldly, looking at Ace.

"THAT’S NOT TRUE! I JOINED THE CREW TO MAKE POPS THE PIRATE KING!" Ace roared back, turning his head in fury. Whitebeard didn’t even know his identity.

It was Ace who voluntarily told him the truth!

But Sengoku cared little for the truth; he only needed to achieve the Navy’s objective.

"That’s only what YOU think! The fact is, we couldn’t easily make a move on you! Because you were protected by Whitebeard!" Sengoku’s words made Ace’s face contort.

It wasn’t true, yet he couldn’t refute it.

"If this continued, you would undoubtedly have realized your potential to stand at the pinnacle of the next generation of pirates! Thus, executing you today holds profound significance! For this, even if it means all-out war with the Whitebeard Pirates, we will not hesitate!" Sengoku roared.

"OHHHHHHH!!!" The numerous Marines, their morale ignited by Sengoku’s words, roared in response.

Sengoku looked at the seething soldiers, a cold, calculating glint behind his glasses.

The truth didn’t matter.

His speech both emphasized the significance of Ace’s death, using it to strike at the pirates’ dreams, and boosted the Navy’s morale, even implicitly undermining Sky Sovereign Rowen.

The pirate who would stand at the pinnacle of the next generation?

There was no need to discuss it... Sky Sovereign Rowen was undoubtedly that pirate!

But Ace’s Pirate King bloodline was a narrative the common people and pirates could easily believe!

<><><><><><><><>

"FLEET ADMIRAL SENGOKU! REPORT!"

Just as the ninety thousand plus Marine soldiers roared in Marineford Bay, a communications officer rushed to the foot of the execution platform.

"Hm?" Sengoku frowned, a bad premonition gripping him.

"THE GATES OF JUSTICE HAVE OPENED AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT ANY ORDERS! WE CAN’T CONTACT THE POWER ROOM!" The officer was drenched in cold sweat.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY??" Veins throbbed on Sengoku’s forehead.

To reach Marine HQ by ship, one had to pass through the Gates of Justice. The three major government strongholds—Impel Down, Marine HQ, and Enies Lobby—were connected by a massive, misshapen whirlpool, only by passing through the Gates of Justice could one ride the correct current to their destination.

In other words—if the Gates opened without Marine HQ’s knowledge—IT MEANT THE ENEMY HAD ARRIVED!

The roars of the zealous Marine soldiers instantly fell silent.

Marineford Bay, filled with over ninety thousand elite Marines, was now suffocatingly quiet.

"Too quiet," Hancock couldn’t help but murmur.

"Unnaturally so..." Doflamingo licked his lips.

<><><><><><><><>

"COME ON THEN! LET’S START THE WAR!" The captain of one of the 43 pirate crews under Whitebeard’s banner, ’Thunder Lord’ McGuy, drew his weapon.

A vast fleet of pirate ships began to emerge from the mist.

<><><><><><><><>

"THEY’RE HERE!" The shout echoed throughout Marine HQ.

"ALL HANDS! PREPARE FOR BATTLE!" a Marine HQ Vice Admiral commanded with grim resolve.

There could be no chaos at a time like this!

"They appeared so suddenly! Where did they come from??" Seeing the numerous pirate ships suddenly emerge from the mist, Sengoku’s cheek twitched.

Soon, these ships broke through the mist, appearing before all the Marines, before the entire world!

"IT’S A GREAT PIRATE FLEET!" A terrified roar came from the communications officer.

"Quick! Confirm Whitebeard’s location!" The Staff Officers remained calm, issuing orders.

The observation posts frantically searched for Whitebeard’s position.

"That’s ’Knight of the Sea’ Doma!"

"Thunder Lord McGuy!"

"The Decalvan Brothers!"

"Maelstrom Spider Squard!"

"All of them are top-tier fighters. Each a famous captain in the New World! 43 ships in total—NO SIGN OF WHITEBEARD OR THE DIVISION COMMANDERS!"

"But there’s no doubt, these are all pirate crews under Whitebeard’s command!"

The soldiers in the lookout posts reported the situation, drenched in cold sweat.

"CAN YOU SEE LITTLE ACE??" One of the 43 captains, A.O, grinned with bloodlust.

"WE’RE HERE, ACE!" another captain, Delacuaji, roared, drawing his sword.

<><><><><><><><>

"What’s there to panic about? How pathetic," Tsuru chided calmly, her arms crossed.

Whitebeard hadn’t even shown up yet. If they panicked now, the war was already lost.

"Even you all...!" Ace looked up, seeing the massive fleet appear, cold sweat on his forehead. ’Why... why did you come to save me??’

"Shall we attack??" The heavy cannons lining Marineford Bay were ready, the commanding officer asked for orders.

"Wait! Whitebeard must be nearby! Keep a close watch on the sea!" The Staff Officers remained calm amidst the crisis, issuing precise orders.

The heavy cannons needed time to aim; firing prematurely would compromise their defensive line when the real Whitebeard appeared.

GURGLE! GURGLE!

Just then, the water at the center of Marineford Bay began to bubble unnaturally.

"Could it be??" Sengoku’s forehead was drenched in sweat.

Marine HQ’s strongest fifty warships and various heavy cannon defenses were all positioned on the outer perimeter of Marineford Bay. The advantage of this setup was creating an absolute kill zone for any enemy approaching from the sea.

But the disadvantage was—

"He’s not going to emerge from an unexpected place, is he?" Garp asked, looking towards Tsuru, who also had cold sweat on her brow.

"A miscalculation in our deployment?" Tsuru also understood where Whitebeard was, her eye twitching.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

The waves began to spread.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

CRASH!

GURGLE! GURGLE!

Clang! Clang! Clang!

<><><><><><><><>

<><><><><><><><>

CLANG!

CRACK! CRACK!

WHOOSH! GURGLE! GURGLE!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

VMM!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
