After the announcement of Ace's execution, it has now reached the sixth day, with only one day remaining before the execution!
On this day, all the major powers are making their move!
….
Marine Headquarters, conference room.
"Will all the Shichibukai be here tomorrow?"
Fleet Admiral Sengoku asked from his seat in the middle of the conference room, his expression was very serious
"Blackbeard and Bartholomeow Kuma are already at the headquarters. Boa Hancock, Moria, and Donquixote Doflamingo are expected to arrive tomorrow. As for Hawkeye, it's uncertain whether he will come or not"
A Marine officer reported.
"Hmm, better than we thought."
Sengoku nodded and added, "I didn't expect the Pirate Empress choosing to help us this time, and Jinbei withdrawing from the Shichibukai at this moment. I hope Hawkeye can make it tomorrow."
"In the New World, aside from Whitebeard pirates, are there any actions from the other four Emperors?"
Fleet Admiral Sengoku inquired again.
"Report, besides the Big Mom Pirates, Kaido and Red Hair have also made their move!"
Another Marine responded.
"This is truly troublesome! We must not only be cautious of that monstrous man named Whitebeard, but also stay wary against all forces. Keep a close eye on them and report any findings immediately!"
Fleet Admiral Sengoku said with a solemn expression.
"Understood, sir!"
The marines in the conference room nodded collectively. In this critical time, none of them dared to take things lightly.
Now, the Shichibukai are already on their way to Marineland, and they will gather in Marineland tomorrow morning
All main ships of the Whitebeard Pirates have been completely coated and submerged into the seabed, awaiting Ace's execution day.
….
In the New World, a top-notch showdown unfolded today.
On the route to Marine Headquarters, several pirate ships majestically sailed towards Marineford. All heading in the same direction, one could spot numerous Zoan-type fruit ability users on each ship.
This pirate crew is none other than the Beasts Pirates!
"Hahaha, boss, this is truly exhilarating. If we take down Whitebeard, we eliminate a formidable opponent! This time, I've enhanced the power of the plague bomb specifically. In a battlefield with a large number of people, a large number of people will definitely die!"
Beast Pirates top cadre,''The Plague' Quinn laughed.
"The day when the boss will rule the world is not far away!"
Another Beast pirates top cadre, Jack 'The Drought' laughed in agreement.
"This time, we'll catch them off guard. We're not just aiming to take down Whitebeard; we will create chaos at Marine Headquarters!"
Kaido took a sip of wine, speaking with a drunken smile.
"Making a scene at Marines Headquarters sounds exciting! " First mate of Kaido, King the 'Wildfire' said with enthusiasm.
Upon hearing their words, the expressions of the surrounding pirates became very excited.
The Marines always pursued them, but this time, they could follow Governor Kaido to attack Marine Headquarters.
What an exhilarating opportunity!
Little did they know, right in front of them, a pirate ship was waiting for their arrival.
"Ben, are you sure we can wait here for Kaido?"
The sniper of Red-Haired Pirate,'The Chaser' Yassop was looking into the distance, but even with his sharp eyesight, he couldn't spot any trace of the pirate ship.
"Hahahaa, if Ben Beckman is wrong, it means even God won't let us stop Kaido."
Shanks burst into laughter upon hearing Yassop's words. Even now, his face showed no signs of worry.
"Don't be anxious. Anxiety can easily cloud your judgment. Whether it comes or not, you'll know the answer shortly"
Ben Beckman said, sitting calmly on the side and smoking his cigarette
"I've been watching it for a while now, and I still don't know what to do..."
Before he could finish speaking, he noticed several black spots emerging on the distant sea level. Weren't those black spots is a pirate ships?
"It's really here! Ben Beckman, you're amazing!" Yassop exclaimed.
"Hahaha, the slap in the face came too fast!"
"Yassop, it's a bad habit to question the deputy captain!"
Laughter echoed all around from the crew
A faint smile appeared on Shanks' lips. He stood up, walked to the bow of the ship, looking at the distant sea level, and declared
"Brothers, get ready. We're going to stop Kaido!"
….
About five minutes later, a pirate on Kaido's ship suddenly exclaimed, "Boss Kaido, a pirate ship has been spotted ahead! It's heading towards us!"
"Coming towards us?"
Kaido looked stunned. Most people would undoubtedly run away without looking back when they saw them. Now, someone was actually approaching his ship?
Who is this pirate daring to challenge him without fear?
"Who is it?"
Kaido asked curiously
"Yes... it's the Red-Haired Pirates!"
The man's face turned a bit serious after clearly seeing the other party's pirate flag.
Shanks?
"Get ready to fight, you fools!"
When Kaido heard that it was Shanks, his drunkenness vanished, and he slowly stood up.
Soon, Kaido could see the people on the opposite pirate ship, and his eyes were instantly locked on Shanks
"Shanks, I didn't come looking for you, but you've willingly offered yourself to die!"
Kaido said with a heavy expression.
"If you were allowed to join that war, this era would be in chaos..."
Shanks remarked, maintaining a calm expression.
"Are you trying to stop me?"
Kaido's face turned completely gloomy when he heard this.
"Might as well give it a try!"
Shanks calmly stated with a serious expression as his Conqueror's Haki burst from his body, darkening the sky and stirring up a storm.
With that, the two pirate groups are about to go to war!!!
