One Piece: Inheriting the Shendu Template, I Summon Demons

There are only three hours left until Ace's execution.

Naval Headquarters, Marinevando.

At this moment, the atmosphere was solemn and quiet. The once bustling streets were completely deserted, and a tense and oppressive atmosphere permeated every corner.

......

Chapter 145 Naval Headquarters Deployment! The Steel Fortress!

Before the execution, the Navy evacuated all residents around headquarters. In front of the steel fortress, the towering execution platform had been erected, and the square below was filled with fully armed elite naval soldiers.

A huge, densely packed mass; I estimate there are at least 100,000 of them.

Thousands of heavy artillery pieces were lined up in a row, forming a circle that encompassed the crescent-shaped bay in the center below the fortress.

On the other side, a row of gun emplacements was deployed, with a muzzle fire coverage area capable of accurately striking ships in the surrounding waters.

Under the blazing sun, the dark muzzles of the cannons gleamed with a sinister light. Ample shells were placed on the left side of the gun emplacement, and rows of soldiers stood ready, prepared to deal with the most urgent and sudden situations at any time.

now.

A gust of wind blew.

The white clouds in the sky moved slowly.

Below the clouds, seagulls with video phone mushis hanging from their shells circled around the steel fortress of Marineford.

The direction of the video phone bug has always been set at the Navy Headquarters.

This was all pre-arranged by Fleet Admiral Sengoku, with the help of Morgans, the president of the World News Agency.

Using a large number of video teleportation snails, the various locations and blind spots of the Navy Headquarters were recorded and simultaneously transmitted to news screens around the world to showcase the combat power of the Navy Headquarters and the World Government to the world.

This time, the World Government is determined to win and is determined to restore their prestige in the hearts of the people and make it reach its highest point.

Everything starts now...

......

at the same time.,

The solemn atmosphere wasn't limited to the Naval Headquarters; the entire world was on edge.

Since the Navy Headquarters announced the public execution of Ace, the past week has seen a lot of people discussing the matter.

Now, the moment has finally arrived.

The East China Sea, the West China Sea, the South China Sea, the North China Sea, the Grand Line... including residents and pirates on the various islands on land, all left their homes and came to the execution platforms in their respective regions to watch the live broadcast.

In front of each huge screen, a large number of people gathered with strong curiosity and expectations.

A sea of ​​people thronged the area, their hearts beating slowly in sync with the countdown to the execution at the Navy Headquarters.

"I never expected that the execution would actually be carried out publicly, and even broadcast live worldwide. The Navy Headquarters really went all out this time!"

"This is terrifying! Look at the Navy's deployment at headquarters, it's unbelievably luxurious!"

"This is pretty much all the combat power the Marine Headquarters can muster! Was this public execution really just to kill Ace?"

"It doesn't seem that simple. With such formidable fighting power, let alone one Yonko crew, even two of them might not be able to escape unscathed!"

"The Whitebeard Pirates are likely to be completely wiped out this time!"

"..."

The people in front of the screen were amazed and filled with excitement as they watched the combat forces deployed by the Navy Headquarters.

At this moment, as the seagulls in the sky shifted their perspective, the sea conditions surrounding the headquarters came into view.

The once wide and open sea was now filled with steel warships, one after another, with no gaps even a small boat could fit through.

Looking around, there were at least a thousand ships, some marked with the words "Naval Headquarters," others with branch numbers...

The warship was packed with naval soldiers, countless of them standing there.

Besides the area around Marineford, in the plaza below the execution platform, giant generals, each as large as a small mountain, held weapons and had solemn expressions. On the city wall in front of them stood five Shichibukai.

They are Hawkeye Mihawk, Empress Hancock, Gecko Moria, Bartholomew Kuma, and Doflamingo.

Among them, Mihawk's eyes were sharp as an eagle's, his arms crossed over his chest, quietly watching Crescent Bay; Hancock had her arms on her hips; Moria had a strange expression, looking very confident; Bartholomew Kuma was as serious as ever; only Doflamingo was half-squatting on the city wall, a smile on his lips.

Each of them exuded an extremely powerful aura.

In addition, a group of CPOs dressed in uniform black uniforms stood motionless on the city wall, displaying strict discipline.

Below the execution platform.

Then, the three admirals of the Navy Headquarters were seated in order.

Sakaschi, Borsalino, Kuzan.

Such a star-studded lineup cannot be simply described as powerful; viewers in front of the screen, even through the screen, can still feel a strong sense of pressure.

Some of the smaller pirates who had dealt with the Navy before were now sweating profusely, shivering uncontrollably, and a chill ran down their spines.

Some seasoned pirates, who had seen the world and were experienced, were also filled with fear and felt a chill run down their spines. At the same time, they muttered to themselves that things were not as simple as they seemed.

blah blah blah!

On the screen, the clock hand hanging above the headquarters slowly turned. With each passing second before the execution began, the tension and excitement in the hearts of everyone present increased.

......

Meanwhile, on the other side.

In the Kingdom of Alabasta, Princess Vivi, who had already gained some power within the kingdom, blinked her beautiful eyes as she looked at the Navy Headquarters, which had been transformed into an iron fortress, on the screen.

Since Luo Xiu left the Alabasta Kingdom with the Devil Fruit last time, she has been working hard in silence to manage the country after it suffered trauma.

But whenever he has a spare moment, he keeps an eye on what's happening outside, so he can know how Luo Xiu is doing.

At this moment, for some reason, she had a feeling that Luo Xiu would appear...

At the same time, on a pirate ship near Marineford, a man with a red nose and blue hair was shouting at a man smoking a cigar next to him, his exaggerated expression making his features seem to be about to detach from their original positions.

"what!"

"They actually want to go to Marineford, the Marine Headquarters?"

"Don't you know that a public execution is taking place at Marineford right now? And the Whitebeard Pirates will be there soon, and a major battle is definitely going to happen there!"

Bucky's spittle flew everywhere, and his voice was on the verge of cracking.

He thought the guy in front of him was crazy. He had barely managed to escape from Impel Down thanks to Rosh's meddling, but this guy actually wanted to go to Marine Headquarters.

Moreover, they knew that an unprecedented war was about to break out.

"It's precisely because the Whitebeard Pirates are going that we should go!" The speaker had a smug look on his face, wore a fur coat, had slicked-back hair, and a long horizontal scar on his face. He was Crocodile, the Crocodile who had parted ways with Luo Xiu.

Chapter 146 Greatness needs no further explanation! Ace being led to the execution platform!

After separating from Luo Xiu, he has been searching for a Devil Fruit to repay Luo Xiu's so-called debt of saving him.

Although he disdained doing so, circumstances forced him to comply. If he didn't keep his promise, he would unconsciously replay in his mind the image of being pinned to the ground and beaten by Luo Xiu.

Once you've experienced this once, you won't want to do it again.

During his search, he stumbled upon the Buggy Pirates. He knew something about Buggy, so he boarded their ship without any trouble.

The arm that Rosh had previously shattered was replaced with a new one using the treasure he had extorted from Bucky's savings account. This new one was even stronger than the previous golden hook.

"Whoosh!" Crocodile exhaled a puff of smoke, looked at Buggy, and winked.

"Captain Bucky, with your strength, do you really think you'd be afraid of the Marine Headquarters?!"

"A single Marine Headquarters poses absolutely no threat to you!"

"Don't forget, even Whitebeard, one of the Four Emperors, wouldn't dare to speak loudly and rudely in your presence..."

"......"

Crocodile gave Bucky a good talking-to.

The entire crew erupted in excitement, reaching a fever pitch as Crocodile showered Bucky with praise.

"What! Captain Buggy is really that amazing! Even Crocodile, a former Shichibukai, acknowledges his abilities!"

"Yes! We definitely didn't follow the wrong person. Captain Bucky's strength is simply unfathomable!"

"That's incredible! Could Captain Buggy possess power even greater than the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

"What are the Seven Warlords of the Sea? Captain Buggy is at least on par with Emperor-level!"

"..."

"Cough cough~"

Bucky was getting a little tipsy, and his expression started to look strange. Finally, his mouth stretched to the back of his head, and then he cleared his throat and said, "Although I'm not afraid of the Marine Headquarters or anything like that, after all, I'm Captain Bucky!"

"But that's the navy's stronghold after all. Wouldn't going there like that be too conspicuous?"

"Captain, it's alright. The rudder has been set for you, pointing straight towards the Navy Headquarters. So what if it's conspicuous? With you here, we feel at ease!"

"Let those so-called Marine Admirals and the Whitebeard Pirates witness your power!"

"A new generation of Four Emperors is beginning to rise..."

"..."

"Ah!" Bucky was completely stunned by what he saw the crew doing.

If you were to describe Bucky's inner screams at this moment with an animal, it would definitely be a groundhog.

"It's over! I'm doomed!"

Bucky was in a panic. His body was broken in two again, and his facial features were about to fall out of his head.

I was just joking, you guys actually did it? I'd really thank you...

"Look, the captain is so excited; he really wants to go!"

"With such great strength, yet so humble, the captain is my role model for life!"

"Captain, please make the Buggy Pirates famous throughout the world!"
