25 Whitebeard Arrival

"Whitebeard…has come!"

The news quickly spread through Marineford via a Den-Den Mushi.

The revelation of Ace's identity had left everyone stunned, but the news of Moby Dick's trail at the Gate of Justice jolted them back to reality.

Whitebeard is here!

The man with the title strongest man in the world!

Finally arrived at Marineford!

The solemn atmosphere swept through like a storm.

Seven Warlords of the Sea, Marine Three Admiral, 100,000 Marine soldiers!

Everyone here has a serious look on their faces, and their hearts are beating violently!

"Finally come!"

"The man who stands at the peak of the old era!"

"It emerges openly from the Gate of Justice, revealing itself without concealment!"

Marines gripped their guns tightly, seeking a sense of security within their grasp.

"ohh~"

"He is finally here? So scary~"

Kizaru, with a playful demeanor, exaggeratedly exclaimed.

"Is it just one ship? Did Whitebeard come alone, and the others didn't make it to Marineford?"

Aokiji supported his chin with his hands, his face filled with doubt.

"…"

Akainu frowned in a similar manner, questioning why only one Moby Dick had made an appearance.

"Bwahahaha~"

"It's indeed Whitebeard, arriving here without any disguise!"

Garp, standing nearby, laughed as if the upcoming battle didn't concern him at all.

"Now is not the time to joking around Garp!."

Vice Admiral Tsuru has a headache.

"Haha~"

"Sorry, sorry…"

Garp smiled and apologized insincerely.

"Has he come yet?"

Sengoku's expression on the execution stage shifted, and he shouted into the Den-Den Mushi:

"Prepare for battle, everyone!"

"Oouu!!"

The hundred thousand Marines swiftly reacted.

Warships positioned their cannons, while the bay's heavy artillery was loaded with ammunition.

The elite Marines brandished their weapons, their eyes fixed on the sea with nervous anticipation.

About four or five minutes passed.

A dark speck emerged from the surface of the sea, gradually growing in size.

In an instant, appeared in front of everyone.

Moby Dick!

The pirate ship of Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world!

At that moment... they had finally arrived!!!

"It's coming!"

Marine soldier in the front shouted.

Hearing this, everyone clenched their teeth and fixed their gaze on the approaching three-masted sailing ship.

Their eyes widened, and the pressure in their hearts intensified. They had been well-prepared, but the sight before them still filled them with a sense of heightened tension.

But as they stood face to face with Whitebeard, a lingering fear crept into their hearts.

"Really only one Moby Dick?"

Sitting in his seat, Aokiji was puzzled: "Where are the rest of Whitebeard's ships? His pirate group never fails to accompany him whenever he goes."

"Perhaps they're just not here yet, but that doesn't mean they won't come."

Kizaru shrugged nonchalantly, maintaining a calm demeanor.

"Impossible!"

Aokiji shook his head

In this world, the captain doesn't fight alone while the crew hides behind.

So he was certain that the other ships of the Whitebeard Pirates were hiding somewhere, getting ready to strike at Marineford.

"Whitebeard, what are you thinking?!"

Sengoku on the execution stage was also surprised.

But now is not the time to dwell on such thoughts.

With a deep breath, he raised his arm and swung it down forcefully.

"Prepare!"

A loud roar echoed through the Den-Den Mushi, reaching everyone's ears.

The hundred thousand elite Marines raised their guns, ready to attack as Whitebeard drew closer.

...…

The Moby Dick.

A group of people stood on the high platform at the ship's bow.

As they looked at the heavily fortified island in the distance, everyone had different expressions on their faces.

"Valorolo~"

"Sengoku is still as cautious as ever. He has deployed so many warships just to deal with you!"

World laughed as he gazed at the vast fleet of ships on the sea.

"It's really difficult!"

Crocodile flicked his cigar and gestured towards the bay: "In addition to the warships, there are plenty of heavy artillery on the shore, and 100,000 elite Marines behind them. If we want to save Fire Fist, we need to break through these blockades!"

"Ace!"

Luffy clenched his fist tightly, wishing to rush forward immediately.

"Strawhat boy, don't be impulsive!"

Ivankov placed a hand on Luffy's shoulder, urging him not to rush into a direct confrontation with the 100,000 Marines.

Whitebeard disregarded the discussions happening around him and retrieved a Den-Den Mushi.

"Marco, it's time…"

"Understood, father!"

A voice came through Den-Den Mushi.

Then…

Bubbles started to appear on the surface of the sea.

Water gushed out with a gurgling sound, forming towering fountains that soared into the sky.

Brush~

The water and waves spread out like heavy rain.

Under everyone's shocked gaze, three-masted sailboats bearing the Whitebeard flag emerged.

Two more Moby Dick rose at Marineford Bay and Pirate Group under Whitebeard rose outside Marineford Bay.

Then they crashed heavily onto the sea's surface, coming to a steady halt.

"what?"

"All the ships of the Whitebeard Pirates have arrived!"

"Damn it, no wonder only Moby Dick was visible. The other ships were hiding underwater using the coating, and they've emerged now!"

The Marine soldiers on the shore were stunned.

"Heehahaha"

"They really came out of an unexpected place."

"Such a spectacle! I can't contain my laughter. Bring it on, Whitebeard!"

Doflamingo opened his arms and laughed wildly.

"Kishishishi~"

"With this, 50 Marine warships are useless!"

Gekko Moria is also intrigued.

"This is bad!"

Sengoku felt a cold sweat trickling down his forehead on the execution stage, realizing that his carefully planned first line of defense had already been breached even before the war began.

as predicted...…

Under the cover of the Whitebeard Pirates.

The Moby Dick cut through the waves and reached the bay.

Marines look up at Moby Dick, their throats dry with anticipation.

A powerful presence gripped their hearts, making even the bravest soldiers tremble and instinctively take a step back.

Then....

Under the gaze of 100,000 Marines, many Vice Admiral, Rear Admiral, Seven Warlords of the Sea, Three Admiral, Marine hero Garp and Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

A tall figure with a crescent-shaped beard.

Slowly walk out from the crowd and stood tall at the ship bow!

Completely disregarding the 100,000 Marine soldiers and everyone else, he forcefully slammed his Bisento onto the ship's deck.

He stared directly at the execution platform and let out a bold, hearty laugh.

"Guurarara~"

"Ace, my son, are you…okay!!!"
