Chapter 225 : Shocked Marines!

Summit War!

At this moment, viewers worldwide found themselves stunned. None had fully recovered from the rewards of the quizzes and the global summons.

No one anticipated that the third peak battle review would commence so abruptly! And right from the outset, it bore such a fiery title!

The Summit War...

Merely hearing the name was sufficient to convey that this was a confrontation of the highest caliber! And it wasn't just Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates involved; it was bound to be a grand melee entangling countless formidable individuals and myriad factions!

For a while, whether it was the global audience or numerous prominent figures and factions at sea, amidst their astonishment, they couldn't help but harbor a sense of anticipation.

After all, from the tenth peak battle to now the third, each skirmish had delivered ample surprises, with the unfolding events being profoundly shocking and exhilarating!

With each ascent in rank, the enemies Luffy confronted grew increasingly formidable, deepening the shock experienced by everyone. From Moria to the Golden Lion Shiki, and now to this top battle!

For this climactic showdown to be ranked ahead of Douglas Bullet and the Golden Lion Shiki, both renowned as legendary pirates, its excitement would assuredly surpass that of the preceding two!

For a moment, there was an eager anticipation among everyone to hasten the inventory count.

Their expectations and curiosity were palpable, reaching a crescendo...

The live broadcast unfolded just as everyone had anticipated, and it commenced promptly!

[The screen flickered to life gradually, yet the initial display did not dive straight into the plot.]

[Instead, it began with a brief rundown, elucidating to everyone what the "Summit War" entails.]

[After all, judging solely from its name, its nature remained elusive.]

[Then, it materialized on the screen.]

[It was the Navy Headquarters, Marineford!]

The mere sight of it left everyone dumbfounded...

What was happening?

The opening scene was indeed the Navy Headquarters?

Could it be that the much-hyped "Summit War," this purported grand melee, was unfolding right at the heart of the Navy Headquarters?

For a moment, everyone was compelled to reconsider that the battleground might lie elsewhere in the vast expanse of the sea.

Perhaps on some islands or within kingdoms, but the revelation that it was Marineford caught everyone off guard!

After all, it's a bastion of the navy!

Who dared to mount a direct assault on the Navy Headquarters, instigating a war!

Yet soon, everyone found the answer crystallizing in their minds.

The only forces capable of challenging the sanctity of the Navy Headquarters in these waters...

There was only one entity left, and that was... the Four Emperors!!!

Meanwhile, within the Navy's confines!

As the screen commenced its playback, the initial image that surfaced was none other than the Navy Headquarters.

Whether it was Sengoku, Garp, or the trio of admirals including Kizaru, they too were taken aback.

But their reactions swiftly followed.

Their musings aligned with everyone else's, given that the first glimpse showcased Marineford.

It seems that the battle took place at the Navy Headquarters!

For a moment, everyone felt a deep sense of solemnity.

You see, the last time someone dared to attack the Navy Headquarters was during the clash with the Flying Pirates!

They wreaked havoc across Marineford before finally being apprehended and imprisoned in Impel Down. Now, after all these years, someone dares to assail the Navy Headquarters once more?

Who possesses such audacity and lacks fear of death?

Could it be one of the Yonko?

If so, which among them?

What could be the motive behind this daring assault on Marineford?
