Chapter 27: Through the Gates of Justice

Great Route.

Advancing to the outer sea area of Impel Down.

Before the Gate of Justice!

The naval battleship belonging to Commodore Smoker was parked in front of this giant gate that symbolized justice.

Shiro stood on the deck of the boat, holding the handle of his sword with one hand, facing the sea breeze slowly.

He looked at the huge Gate of Justice in front of him and felt somewhat nostalgic.

The last time he passed through this gate, he was still the strongest Rear Admiral in the history of the Navy.

Now, coming to this door again, he felt a mix of emotions.

However, this was more challenging for Shiro.

The Navy Headquarters would be very.... very shocked to see him again soon!

After all, in the eyes of the World Government and the Navy Headquarters, he, Shiro, was seriously injured and deemed useless!

It was not beyond Shiro's expectations.

That guy Smoker was afraid that Straw Hat Luffy would be rescued by Emporio Ivankov and others, so he chose to withdraw from Impel Down with all his strength in the subsequent battle.

After all Emporio Ivankov, Knight of the Sea Jinbe, and Sir Crocodile are not weak.

Finally catching Straw Hat Luffy, even if he didn't catch him personally, Smoker wouldn't let the Straw Hat be rescued easily.

Then the director of Impel Down, the poisonous Magellan, arrived, forming a crushing advantage for the prison army.

So Smoker took the opportunity to withdraw from the battlefield, leading his subordinates and escorting Straw Hat Luffy back to the naval battleship to continue to the Navy Headquarters.

And then, Shiro had already changed into his Marine's clothes ahead of time and returned to the naval battleship to wait.

Smoker and Tashigi asked a few things about CP0, but they didn't help at all.

But Shiro was a little surprised. Smoker, who has always been known for his reckless character, hesitated when he was about to pass through the Gate of Justice. He decided to contact the Navy Headquarters and asked to speak directly with Admiral Sengoku.

However, the response given by the Navy Headquarters was that Admiral Sengoku had no time for the time being, so they could only wait.

This was what Shiro expected. The time to publicly execute Pirate Fire Fist Ace was now running out. As a Navy Admiral, Sengoku the Buddha must be carrying out the final round of defense.

And Shiro could almost conclude that in addition to Sengoku the Buddha, the busiest person in the Navy Headquarters at this time should be Admiral Akainu.

As for the other two Admirals, one should be sleeping or napping, and the other, who knows where he's slacking off.

Although the relationship between Shiro and Admiral Akainu was not good, even a little strained in some places, it had to be admitted that there was absolutely no problem with Akainu's professionalism. He was definitely the most responsible and radical of the three Admirals.

But the problem was that Akainu was too aggressive. Under the control of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, where could the so-called absolute justice go?! Absolutely obey the Celestial Dragons!? Ridiculous!

"Hey, what do you think of the CP0 that hijacked you?" The call from Sengoku the Buddha had been delayed for a long time.

Commodore Smoker was visibly impatient. For him, missing or being late to participate in the next big battle that was unprecedented was unacceptable.

But now there was a problem. That was Straw Hat Luffy. After getting out of the fight and quieting down, Smoker realized that something was wrong. This Straw Hat Luffy was not just the grandson of Navy hero Vice Admiral Garp. He was the most vicious criminal in the world, the son of the Revolutionary Army leader Monkey D. Dragon!

The Navy had no problem catching pirates or even executing pirates. But the problem was, the Straw Hat's background was a bit too influential. In addition, at this time, the battle between the Navy Headquarters and the Whitebeard Pirates of the New World Four Emperors was imminent. If the Straw Hat was brought to Marineford for public execution, both the World Government and the Navy Headquarters would have something to consider...

That's why Smoker was confused. But since he handed Straw Hat Luffy over to him, no trace of that CP0 could be found no matter what. How strange.

"Commodore, I'm just a newcomer. How can I see it? Before today, I didn't even know there was any CP0 in the world!" Shiro pretended to be stupid at will.

He wasn't worried at all about what would happen now because, in a short period of time, Sengoku the Buddha would not have time to respond to Smoker. And by Smoker's temperament, he would absolutely not allow himself to join the battlefield after the war had started. So this guy would soon make up his mind, go through the Gate of Justice, and head to the Navy Headquarters.

"Uh, I've lost my head and forgot that you're a newcomer! Forget it, it's just a Straw Hat. Even if the Revolutionary Army does anything, it's too late. Go down and inform the gatekeeper, open the Gate of Justice, and return to the headquarters immediately!"

As predicted, Smoker did not hesitate any longer. Because he rushed to Marineford before the war started, so that he could deploy with the large troops.

Soon, the Gate of Justice that covers the sky opened! Along with the naval battleship, Shiro passed through the Gate of Justice and officially set off towards the Navy Headquarters!

The last time Shiro left the Navy Headquarters, he was still a Rear Admiral. And this time, he had become a naval traitor. After passing through the Gate of Justice and entering the whirlpool sea area, the warship could no longer turn around and could only go to the Navy Headquarters, Marineford!

As for the subsequent development of Impel Down, Shiro couldn't care less. He was not here for charity. He had tried his best. Next, was the main event, the top of the war. He just didn't know where his Destiny was. Would he be captured or be taken down by a Vice Admiral or Admiral?

However, sword Destiny recognised him!

The naval battleship passed through the Gate of Justice and drove for about half an hour. The Navy Headquarters finally got the news. Sengoku the Buddha was furious when he learned that Smoker had brought Straw Hat Luffy to the Navy Headquarters without authorization. Not only did he reprimand Smoker, he even threatened to demote the latter.

But it was done. In the end, Sengoku the Buddha could only order Smoker to speed up and go to the Navy Headquarters first.

After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Smoker greeted the ancestors of CP0 very cordially.

Shiro said on the side, "Well scolded, CP0 is not a good thing!"

At this time, Shiro had successfully infiltrated the Navy Headquarters. The rest was to wait. It wouldn't be long before he set foot on the Navy Headquarters again, Marineford. It wouldn't be long before he would return to the sight of the world as Shiro!

The navy traitor returned to the Navy Headquarters. Just thinking about it, Shiro felt a little excited. Why not have a simple engagement ceremony with Hebihime-sama at Marineford? On top of the war as a background board, it seems worthy of the title of the world's most beautiful woman!

...

Shiro thought wantonly, but he wasn't happy for long because a top navy warship came next to it. Frightened, he immediately pulled his hand back from the handle of the sword. He moved and hid behind Smoker.
