"One Piece" Events:

—————————

"Really!! He's your brother!? Gloriosa was also taken aback after hearing Luffy.

"I didn't even know he was caught... and he's going to be executed!? Can't he escape!?" Luffy asked, feeling scared and confused.

"… Uuhhhm!! If Whitebeard wins this fight, he might be saved." Gloriosa commented on the possibility of Whitebeard winning.

"What do I do…!? Where's the execution going to take place!?" Luffy wanted enough information to decide his next move.

"Right... it's in a town plaza called Marinford, owned by Marine Headquarters. 'In one week,' so about six days from now." Gloriosa looked at a paper and conveyed its contents to him.

"Wha!!? That's so soon!!! How long does it take to get to Sabaody from here!?" Luffy asked.

"… Well, you can assume it'll take at least a week..."

"If it takes that long, then, before I even meet my friends, it'll be all over for Ace!!" Luffy changed plans immediately and asked, "... Then, how long from here to where Ace is?"

"To the prison of Impel Down... on a pirate ship, one week... on one of the Marine ships, four days…!!"

Luffy was surprised after hearing that and exclaimed, "Why? Are Marine ships that fast!?"

"There are special currents for the World Government… Enies Lobby, Impel Down, and Marine Headquarters."

"These three places are connected by a big current. At each place, big gates called the 'Gates of Justice' can be opened, allowing access to these three spots. In other words, if the gate is closed, you'd just be going with the current." 

Gloriosa explained slowly, and a picture illustrating how the three Gates of Justice connect the three World Government places appeared in the background. 

"To avoid the swirling current, pirate ships have to take a roundabout path…!!!"

...

..

Luffy pulled out a burned paper from his hat and was surprised at its condition.

"Ace is on his own adventure!! It's weird that I have to save my brother, who's so strong... Ace would probably get mad at me. But… sorry, guys..!!! I'm gonna take a little detour!!!"

Luffy apologized to his crew before shouting, "I want to go help Ace!!!"

In the New World Sea, Moby Dick sailed smoothly through the raging waves, surrounded by an invisible force that shielded it from the towering waves, each dozens of meters high...

The strange thing was that on the surface of the ship, not a single member of the Whitebeard Pirates could be seen, as if Moby Dick had transformed into a ghost ship.

In reality, this scene was not new at all. After all, it could easily be explained by the familiar store at the back of the ship.

Inside the art store 'Moby Dick,' the voices of enthusiastic and angry men and women echoed.

They were all members of the Whitebeard Pirates and some of their affiliated crews.

"Gurararara! This boy, Straw Hat Luffy, impresses me repeatedly!"

"What a good brother he is," Newgate's mood was very good, although he felt weakly that the war declared against his counterpart 'the old man' was not a good thing.

At least for him, he knew and firmly believed that he would gladly sacrifice his life to save his son!

That was the essence of his character, the Great Whitebeard!

"Oyaji! The war will start just one week in the manga timeline! I'm extremely excited! Ahh, I'll see how strong I am in the future!" Young Marco was extremely excited, evident from his clear expression.

"I'll be stronger than you, Hemph!" Jozu struck his fists together, causing sparks to fly.

"You must be kidding, Jozu, hahaha!"

"Calm down, comrades. We don't know much about what will happen in the future. Perhaps new brothers stronger than both of you will join us... Who knows?" 

"Silence, you two!" Vista silenced both of them.

"Well, if Oden stayed with us… Wait! Maybe Oden-san will help us in the war. He's very strong, just a little below Oyaji. In the future, he'll become even more powerful!"

"Hmm?" Newgate remembered that foolish Shogun who was like a younger brother to him, not a son... but he quickly dismissed the possibility of his involvement.

'In a world where that brat doesn't exist, I don't think it'll be easy for him to drive Kaido out of Wano... even if he succeeds, he'll have to stay in Wano to protect it from Kaido.' These were Whitebeard's unspoken thoughts.

"Your son will be big and very strong by then. He won't allow you to enter the war alone... Don't forget about Weevil-kun." At that moment, Buckingham Stussy grabbed Whitebeard's hand and spoke with a warm tone.

"Gurararararara!" Whitebeard laughed slowly before continuing. "Do you all forget who I am? I am Whitebeard; I don't need anyone to help me. I'll save my son with my strength alone. If they really want to provoke me, then Sengoku must prepare to bear the cost of building a new Marineford!"

...

In the maritime outskirts of the Hunters Archipelago, near the Wano region, a black wooden boat quietly approached Ring Hell Island.

The sailboat was empty and was quickly shattered by the waves on the southern side of the Hunters' Island.

"Ouch, that hurts!" The voice came from the shattered sailboat on the rocks.

Like the stickiest glue, the broken black boat turned into a broken wooden boat after losing its black color... Then a black shadow leaped onto a nearby rock and began moving upward towards the island.

This way, the shadow disappeared into the depths of the Hunters' Island... its goal was to sneak into the central prison, which was also in the southern part of the island.

The black shadow infiltrated all security barriers without triggering any security alerts and successfully entered the prison. 

...

Ohara:

After finishing narrating the story of Empress Amazon Lily to his young children, cleverly avoiding the 'deadly disease' part that affected the empress at the end of the volume, Rob returned to Ohara to check on his pregnant wives.

Then, when he wanted to go to Hunters Island to take care of the intruders, he received a notice from the system shop.

'It seems that a new chapter has come out... that's good too... finally, I will see what kind of powers Saturn possesses...'

The last chapter of the One Piece manga he read had reached an exciting stage of events in the Future Island, Egghead arc. After the dull battle between Luffy and Kizaru ended in a draw, Saint Saturn finally entered the battle!

And his devilish spider-bull-like form was very intriguing.
