Chapter 307

On the execution platform, Marine Fleet Admiral Sengoku stood beside Ace, who was about to be executed, gazing calmly at the sea of Gangwan.

Not long after, Garp, who had failed to capture Luffy, climbed onto the execution platform and sat beside Ace.

Just as he had done more than ten years ago, sitting by a bonfire with young Ace and Luffy.

Seeing Garp appear, Sengoku's expression darkened for a moment.

Then, he took out a Den Den Mushi, preparing to speak.

At this moment, all eyes across the world focused on him, waiting silently for his announcement.

"Today, before Portgas D. Ace is executed here, there is one thing I must convey to everyone first."

"Regarding the immense significance of this man dying here today."

Holding the Den Den Mushi, Sengoku glanced at Ace and said:

"Ace, state your father's name!"

Sengoku's words caused everyone watching the live broadcast to freeze in shock.

Meanwhile, Garp painfully covered his face with his hands.

Ace, kneeling on the execution platform, said expressionlessly:

"My old man is Bai Huzi, the world's strongest, Bai Huzi!"

Sengoku shook his head: "No, your father is..."

Ace roared in anger:

"My old man is Bai Huzi!!!"

Sengoku continued speaking expressionlessly:

"Your father is the Pirate King, Gol D. Luo Jie. The blood flowing through your veins is the blood of sin."

"And today, that sinful lineage will end here!"

As Sengoku's words fell, everyone across the world watching the live broadcast instantly froze, and then the world erupted.

The reporters gathered at Sabaody Archipelago also began to quickly send this news back to their headquarters, wanting to report the news that Fire Fist Ace is the son of the Pirate King immediately.

Next, Sengoku began to recount Ace's birth, as well as the death of his mother, Rouge.

Hearing Sengoku's words, Garp once again painfully covered his face.

Tsuru, standing below the execution platform, seeing Garp's pained expression, shook her head and sighed.

A newborn child is innocent; this, she understood very well.

And after Garp helped Rouge evade the Marines' search, wanting to train him into a Marine, making the Pirate King's child a Marine hero, she understood the significance of that even better.

But the mistake was that Ace should never, under any circumstances, have taken the path of a pirate, and even less should he have joined Bai Huzi's fleet.

However, the mistake has already been made; it is too late to say these things now.

Just as Sengoku finished announcing Ace's information, a Marine ran to his side and reported:

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, the Gate of Justice has been opened."

Upon hearing this, Sengoku said:

"All forces, prepare! The Whitebeard Pirates... have arrived!"

With these words, not only did all the Marines in Ma Linfu freeze, but even the people watching the live broadcast from all over the world were startled simultaneously.

That strongest man in the world, has he finally come!

Not long after, one pirate ship after another belonging to the Whitebeard Pirates began to appear on the distant sea surface.

These pirate crews were all large-scale pirate crews renowned throughout the New World.

Then, on the sea surface of the crescent-shaped Gangwan in Ma Linfu, many huge bubbles emerged, followed by a massive surge of water, and three giant whale-shaped ships broke through the water.

Seeing the Whitebeard Pirates bursting into the crescent-shaped Gangwan, all the Marines on the Ma Linfu square froze.

"Coating, huh." Sengoku, seeing the scene before him, his expression darkened.

Boom!

Boom!!

Boom!!!

On the Moby Dick of the Whitebeard Pirates, a tall and imposing figure strode onto the bow.

Every two steps he took, the long naginata in his hand would thud against the steps, producing a heavy knocking sound, causing the tens of thousands of Marines standing ready in the square to feel a sudden surge of pressure.

Bai Huzi, radiating terrifying momentum, stepped onto the bow and looked at Sengoku on the execution platform, smiling:

"Gurararara, Sengoku, it's been a long time!"

"My son Ace, thank you for your hospitality these past days."

Seeing Bai Huzi appear, Sengoku narrowed his eyes.

One can never be too cautious with the man before him.

"Old man!!"

Seeing Bai Huzi before him, Ace, tears streaming down his face in pain, shouted: "Old man, I was wrong; I shouldn't have gone to chase Teach on my own."

"Baka mi! (Idiot!)"

Bai Huzi laughed, "What nonsense are you saying? I was the one who told you to go."

Upon hearing this, Ma Erke, Jozu, and others all laughed.

Ace lowered his head, tears falling, filled with regret and guilt; if it weren't for his arrogance and impulsiveness, none of this would have happened today.

"Ace, I am coming to take you back right now!"

Having finished speaking, Bai Huzi planted the naginata in his hand into the bow, clenched his fists, and struck the void before him with great force.

Duang!

Cracks, like those produced by shattering glass, spread across the void and then vanished.

Shortly after, the seawater near Marineford, the headquarters of the Marines, began to boil and surge, constantly piling up.

In the next moment.

Two colossal tsunamis, blocking out the sky and sun, emerged from both sides of Marineford and rushed toward the Marines with the force of a mountain crushing down.

The Summit War had officially begun!!!

Inside the alternate dimension, aboard the Ark Verdict.

Lin Yu, who had just arrived at Marineford, saw this magnificent scene, identical to the one in the original story, and his blood boiled with excitement.

Seeing the disaster-level tsunami unleashed by Bai Huzi, Reiju, Luo Bin, Nami, Vivi, and others were all stunned on the spot.

A world-destroying tsunami of disaster level with a mere casual gesture; is this really something a single person can do...

Watching the power displayed by Bai Huzi, Smoothie and Pudding's expressions shifted.

Is this the power possessed by the world's strongest man? Is this the strength of an Emperor?!

Although both of them were officers under an Emperor, they rarely witnessed scenes like this.

After all, even in the New World, no one dared to provoke the Emperors Big Mom and Kaido.

Those who could force the two of them to act personally were even rarer.

Seeing the expressions on Pudding and Smoothie's faces, Lin Yu spoke softly to them:

"To possess such power, one must have the dream of surpassing the Emperors and becoming the strongest; this, you must remember clearly."

Surpass the Emperors, become the strongest...

Hearing Lin Yu's words, Smoothie and Pudding's eyes widened as they murmured to themselves.

"Surpass the Emperors, become the strongest..."

"Surpass the Emperors, become the strongest..."

"Surpass the Emperors, become the strongest."

By the end, both of them clenched their fists tightly, their gazes unblinking as they stared at Bai Huzi in the distance.

"Surpass the Emperors, become the strongest!!!"
