What Summit War Means.

Chapter's Events:

—————————

"…!! Haa… Haa… Damn it!!"

"Our ship…!!"

Under the grip of falling volcanic fists, the main ship of the Whitebeard Pirates was destroyed.

"The ship that supported the Whitebeard Pirates for decades…"

"The Moby Dick…!!!"

"…"

Seeing this painful scene, Marco's expression turned into one of mourning.

(I'm sorry…)

It seemed as if Whitebeard was apologizing to the ship.

…

"Can't we do anything about this wall!!?"

So far, the Whitebeard Pirates had tried everything to find an exit through the armored wall, but whether by exploding or cutting, nothing succeeded.

"Guah!!"

"Hot hot hot!!!"

"The water is getting boiled by the magma…!!!"

Akainu's magma caused a lot of losses for the Whitebeard Pirates and their allies, making them look like a group of mice thrown into a bowl of hot water.

"Hey!! That's…"

As if what happened wasn't enough, hundreds of cannons were directed at them from the armored wall, and they began bombarding them.

"The path to the platform is being destroyed!!!"

"It's all going back into the sea!!"

At this moment, Whitebeard gathered immense energy in his grip, then with a cracking and rattling sound in the air, he directed the earthquake punch towards the armored wall.

The wall crumpled, but that was all that happened as it wasn't destroyed.

"The wall won't budge!!"

"Even the boss couldn't break it!!"

The pirates who witnessed this felt disbelief.

"That's no ordinary steel!!!" said Fossa.

"Gyaaaahhh!!!"

However, the bombardment continued relentlessly and mercilessly.

…

{The plan is proceeding accordingly.}

From the execution platform, Sengoku held the megaphone and began to speak.

{We will now proceed with Portgas D. Ace's execution!!} he said.

•———•———•———•———•

"This scoundrel Sengoku really gets on my nerves."

On Sphinx Island, Whitebeard felt extreme anger as he saw the current situation in the manga, feeling very unsettled.

"What kind of armored wall can withstand the power of the quake? Did they manage to make this huge wall out of Kairoseki?"

Marco, Jozu, Vista, and others felt intense curiosity about the metal used to create the armored wall.

"It's definitely unnatural."

"Damn it! Our Moby Dick is destroyed... What a loss..."

"This is a tragedy..."

"Why am I crying... Ugh!"

"Keep your tears for what's coming, my son."

Upon hearing that, they all looked at their father with curious gazes.

What does he mean by this... Were they going to lose this war without a chance?

Although the current indicators were certainly not in their favor, for their father to conclude that this would be their loss through this alone, it seemed that this wasn't something he would prematurely judge.

That's why they all looked at him like this.

"Sigh~ What do you expect from an old and sick man, really? The enemy seems fully prepared... Also, Blackbeard, who strengthened his crew with more villains from Impel Down, hasn't shown up yet..."

Whitebeard sighed as he said this. He certainly didn't like seeing his counterpart losing, even though he was an old man on the brink of death. However, his dignity and pride, as the Whitebeard, were still present and strong as ever.

But who knows Whitebeard better than Whitebeard himself?

If their father says something like this, then they truly need to mentally prepare themselves for seeing many sad moments and scenes.

"At least I hope to see him succeed in achieving his goal. Death after that would be satisfying..."

"I won't mind dying in a war like this. I will choose my end with my own hands. What great warrior would want to die on a soft bed? Gurararara!"

Seeing their father's bright outlook, Marco and the others smiled unconsciously.

"Oh!"

"That's truly wonderful!"

"Oars is still alive!"

"He still wants to save Ace!"

…

In Marineford, the general mood here was very good.

"They're like rats trapped at the mercy of my counterpart."

With a sneering smile on his face, Akainu hid his excitement at this magnificent scene in the manga.

"This power truly... This is amazing, Admiral!"

Vice Admiral Onigumo felt that he made the right choice by following the extremist faction of Admiral Akainu; he couldn't help but flatter him more.

"There is still an outlet for them. Whitebeard can exploit it, right?"

Kuzan said calmly.

He was not interested in Sakazuki's arrogance, which meant nothing to him; rather, he was more concerned about what the Whitebeard Pirates might do next.

After some quick and intuitive analysis, he found that the path opened by Oars with his huge body was the only path they could use to enter the bay due to the difficulty of breaking the armored wall.

"You have a point, you're right, Kuzan," Sengoku replied.

After a moment of silence, he added, "But this is not something my counterpart will overlook, surely. It's possible; it won't be easy to corner the Whitebeard Pirates in one place and kill them easily..."

"This is a Yonko's crew after all. It won't be called a Summit War if that were the case; it's better to call it an annihilation war."

"As long as it's called Summit War, it means there are moments of magnificence coming, whether for the pirates or for us..." Zephyr added.

"...Maybe a third party and a fourth party will intervene, and it will truly become a complete Summit War." Tsuru's statement astonished the listeners.

Sengoku frowned upon hearing that because this was exactly what he feared.

If the war were limited to just the Whitebeard Pirates and their adversaries, that would be good; undoubtedly, victory in the Summit War would be within reach. However, if another Yonko or two joined... or even if a pirate with hidden motives like Blackbeard joined, then it wouldn't be as easy as they thought. The outcome of the Summit War might not necessarily satisfy them if that happened.

…

"Zehahaha~ What a Summit War~"

"Oyaji must be heartbroken now because of Moby Dick's destruction~ This is truly delightful~"

In Impel Down, the new Warden of the prison, Marshal D. Teach, still enjoyed reading the events of the Summit War volume.

Nothing was more enjoyable than seeing the last scenes, where the Whitebeard Pirates were cornered.

"Alright, alright, when will I join the party, I wonder? Zehahahaha! Zehahahahahaha!!!"

In a moment of excitement, Teach slapped the manga page, precisely at Whitebeard's old face with a sad expression at Moby Dick's destruction.
