021: A Shock Comparable to a Major Earthquake in the World!

...

Thereafter.

As Bai Ye displayed his "overwhelming" strength to the world for the first time, a Naval Headquarters elite Vice Admiral and the five ships equipped with the latest weapon developed by the Marine Science Force, the "Pacifista," were completely wiped out at sea with a single blow.

The news subverted the expectations of countless people.

A sensation comparable to a major earthquake occurred throughout the Grand Line and even the world.

Don't forget.

After many years, Bai Ye came alone.

At this time, the first half of the Grand Line is miraculously attracting the attention of countless people around the world.

There are such magical devices as Den Den Mushi that project images and record events!

Therefore.

The image of Bai Ye's attack that destroyed the Marines' power...!

It was recorded with incomparable clarity!

...

Marineford.

Naval Headquarters.

"Bai Ye... Former Colonel of the North Blue G-64 Branch, joined the Marines in the year 1480 of the Sea Circle Calendar and has served for 40 years with no bad records, 694 missions to eliminate pirates, and 67 injuries. How could a person do such a thing?"

In the Fleet Admiral's office, Sengoku read the detailed information in hand.

His tone gradually revealed a touch of disbelief.

In his opinion, this veteran named Bai Ye couldn't find any reason to take action against the Celestial Dragons at all.

But even so, Sengoku picked up the file and tossed it to the chewing goat.

This kind of thing doesn't matter right now.

What this veteran did, and the brazenness with which he dared to come to the Grand Line, was almost equivalent to the act of 'declaring war'!

Considering the current speed of Vice Admiral Taisa, along with the newly developed pacifist science troop by the Dopperganger, this person was absolutely doomed.

And this person was currently gathering more attention in the world.

Relatively, the more deterrent the pacifists could be displayed, the better.

Its purpose was to prevent forces in the sea area, originally controlled by the Marine, from taking the opportunity to fish in troubled waters during the impending war between the Naval Headquarters and the Whitebeard Pirates.

Just thinking about it, suddenly...

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Sir! No, it's not good! There is urgent information!"

A Marine's report sounded from outside the office door, extremely hasty.

Hearing this, Sengoku's face showed solemnity.

Could it be that the Whitebeard Pirates took advantage of the chaos?!

...

New World.

Kingdom of Dressrosa.

"D-Doflamingo, there is the latest news from the first half of the Grand Line!"

Trebol, a top executive of the Donquixote family, rushed into the palace holding a Den Den Mushi, looking for Doflamingo.

At this moment, his face was filled with lingering fear!

...

Baltigo.

Revolutionary Army Headquarters.

"Have... the Marines actually, lost?!"

"...how is this possible?!"

"Could it be that the information Kuma passed to us was wrong?!"

"I heard that to exterminate that man, the Marine dispatched the 'Pacifista' that Kuma mentioned in the information..."

In a rudimentary combat conference room.

When they heard the news from the first half of the Grand Line, the cadres of the Revolutionary Army all showed disbelief. They were unable to believe the information they had heard.

After all, they are different from those forces who don't know about Marine intelligence. As an undercover force in Naval Headquarters, they knew of the powerful weapon of the pacifist before the pacifistas officially showed up. 

It was known that Marine might use "Pacifista" in the upcoming war against Whitebeard. So when it became known that Naval Headquarters sent out pacifistas, everyone thought that Bai Ye must die. The Marine would also take this opportunity to show the world the powerful combat power of the "Pacifista."

However, not long after, what they heard was...

The force Marine sent out to destroy Bai Ye had failed!

Their first reaction was: How can that be?!

When the informant of the Revolutionary Army obtained the phone bug screen that recorded the video at that time...

"God..."

The entire Revolutionary Army headquarters fell silent. All of them stared at the terrifying power above them, shocked and with lingering fears. They couldn't help but gasp.

It turns out that the force sent by the Marine wasn't just 'defeated.' Even the newly developed scientific troop pacifista was used and still... the defeat was extremely complete!

...

At the Whitebeard Pirates' residence.

"Dad! We have the latest news from the first half of the Grand Line!"

With blue flames burning in his arms, Marco, his pineapple-shaped hair noticeable, quickly landed beside Whitebeard.

"Gu la la la, it seems that the news over there is very surprising?" Whitebeard laughed, noticing the tension in Marco's throat and his face moving slightly.

Marco reached out and touched the back of his head, saying helplessly: "Father, when will I ever surprise you?"

"Tell me, what happened in the first half of the Grand Line?"

Whitebeard looked at Marco.

Marco nodded, his face immediately becoming dignified, and he said: "It was Marine who sent the troops to destroy that 'lunatic'...they failed!"

"Failed?"

Thinking of the World Government's unwavering style of doing things, Whitebeard could already foresee that even if Sengoku was the Marine Fleet Admiral, he would not be able to avoid being accused by Celestial Dragons.

"Looks like even that Sengoku guy sometimes miscalculates... gurgle."

When Marco saw his father in a good mood, he shook his head and said, "Father, that's beside the point."

"The point?"

Whitebeard looked at Marco.

Marco nodded, his face growing serious, and said: "The point is...that 'lunatic,' whom everyone thought would be wiped out by Marine easily, faced Marine's siege... He, he used only one blow, from beginning to end!"

"One strike?"

Hearing this, Whitebeard pondered: "Is it a monster living in seclusion among the people? This way, it seems that the Sengoku guy is really in big trouble this time."

Whitebeard looked up, witnessing the progress of the coating work on the Moby Dick.

"This is also an opportunity..."
