The most courageous pirate hunter

It was somewhat terrifying.

"what?"

"No way!"

The wicked king, Die Mei, and the others all changed their expressions drastically. They then huddled together to look at the news report, becoming increasingly alarmed and incredulous as they read.

What a joke.

If the Red-Haired Pirates were to lose, they could accept it, but for the entire crew to be wiped out, and completely dead at that, is something that is both unbelievable and a fantasy.

After all, the Red-Haired Pirates are no pushovers.

"Is this the bravest man in the world?"

"What method did the King of Hunters use?"

Everyone was amazed.

"The Monarchy must have used other methods, otherwise it would have been impossible for them to wipe out the Red-Haired Pirates in a one-on-one fight, as they were outnumbered."

"For example, the ancient weapon Hades."

"Whether they used underhanded tactics or something else, the fact remains that none of the Red-Haired Pirates survived. With one of the Four Emperors missing, I'm sure the New World will go berserk from now on!"

"Captain, we need to hurry."

Van Augur, Lafitte, and Doc Q all spoke out in succession.

"Hehehe~"

"We can head to Naval Headquarters now, but before that, we need to find a few companions in Impel Down."

Blackbeard calculated the time; the summons from the Navy was not far off.

However, he still needs to go to the new Impel Down as planned, where he still has the subordinates he wants. But he is still hesitant about how to choose the second Devil Fruit.

The power of the King of Hunters aroused Blackbeard's ulterior motives.

The old man's Tremor-Tremor Fruit may not be the most perfect; in comparison, the Hunter King's Devil Fruit ability might be more suitable for him.

It's no wonder Blackbeard had such a strange idea.

Hermes was simply too powerful. His name and influence made everything associated with him seem different, as if they were coated with the glow of "power."

Many people wonder if they could become a legend if they obtained the power of the Hunter King.

After all, the only difference between himself and the Hunter King is that he doesn't have that Devil Fruit. If he had that Devil Fruit, he could do it too. In fact, many people have this kind of misconception.

This is what's called "honey-like confidence."

As news of the Red-Haired Pirates' demise continued to gain momentum, another news report spread across the seas the following day, igniting another surge of excitement in the already escalating world.

"Big news! Big news!"

"Breaking news: The Navy will publicly execute Portgas D. Ace, the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, in ten days."

"..."

Looking at this news report.

Many forces with strong intelligence capabilities showed expressions of "I knew it" and "I had expected this," after Blackbeard captured Fire Fist and sold him to the Navy.

When the navy was secretly gathering its forces, they already guessed what would happen next.

Those at the bottom of society are still the ones who are truly shocked.

"Is it finally here?"

Will the Whitebeard Pirates go to Marineford?

"The former strongest man in the world, Edward Newgate with white beard, has a bounty of 5,046 million Berries."

"The title of the world's strongest now belongs to the King of Hunters."

"Given Whitebeard's personality, this is bound to be a fierce battle."

"The Monarchy organization wiped out the Red-Haired Pirates, one of the Four Emperors, and then the Navy clashed with the Whitebeard Pirates, another of the Four Emperors. The shocking news keeps coming one after another!"

"I had expected it, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly."

The four seas, the Grand Line, and the New World are all being hotly debated.

However, no matter how you look at it, the Whitebeard Pirates' chances of winning are slim. After all, the execution site is Marineford, the Marine Headquarters. Even though it was destroyed once by the Hunter King, it has been rebuilt long ago.

As for whether the Whitebeard Pirates will go, anyone who knows anything about Whitebeard's deeds and rumors knows that Whitebeard will definitely go back, even if he knows it's a trap.

Will the navy win this war?

"Not necessarily. I received a rumor that Kizaru was severely beaten by the Hunter King in the Sabaody Archipelago and is still lying in the Navy Hospital. He probably won't be able to participate in this war."

"Losing a general's combat power could actually be a loss for the navy."

"That's ridiculous. Don't forget that the World Government is behind the Navy. The Navy's purpose in starting this war is definitely not that simple."

"The show is about to start."

For a while.

Various forces and powerful figures are speculating about the consequences of this incident.

Baltigo, a desolate island on the Grand Line, covered with yellow sand and rocks, looks so inconspicuous. But this deserted island is the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army, the rebel organization that the World Government most wants to destroy.

After penetrating dozens of meters into the ground, a base appeared.

"Ace!"

Sabo looked at the newspaper in his hand, his face full of anxiety.

The moment he saw Luffy, all his memories came back, but he didn't expect the bad news to come so quickly. Not long after Luffy became a vegetable, Ace was about to be executed.

Both of them were his most important brothers.

Luffy was already filled with remorse for failing to protect Ace, and now that Ace had been captured, he was determined to rescue him, even at the cost of his life.

"Ace, wait for me."

Sabo gripped the newspaper tightly, his eyes filled with determination.

East China Sea.

Windmill Village.

The door to a tavern was pushed open, and a villager, sweating profusely, held up a newspaper: "Makino, something terrible has happened! The Navy is going to execute Ace in ten days."

"what?"

Behind the bar.

With her eyes red and swollen and her face haggard, Makino was still immersed in the news of the Red-Haired Pirates' annihilation, but she didn't expect the new bad news to come so quickly.

"What happened to Ace?!"

Makino tried to come out from behind the bar, but her legs went weak and she collapsed to the ground. Ever since she learned that the Red-Haired Pirates had been wiped out, she had been crying every day.

"Ace is going to be executed by the Navy."

"Ah~"

The villagers helped Makino up and sat her on a stool, then handed her the latest news report.

Upon seeing the latest news report, Makino could no longer hold on and fainted.

This isn't true.

Chapter 276 [That bitch will definitely come to cause trouble]

Marineford, Marshal's office in the headquarters building.

With the announcement of Ace's execution date, Sengoku knew that the most difficult moment was about to arrive.

He has to pull through.

Even if you can't hold on, you have to.

This is a last-ditch effort.

He was willing to risk everything, even his life.

"What are the Whitebeard Pirates and other forces up to?"

The Warring States period was marked by a solemn expression.

His gaze was sharper than ever before, and his energy and spirit were at their peak, as if he had taken some kind of drug. In short, he was in an unprecedentedly excited state.

There were quite a few people in the office.

It's worth mentioning that Borsalino, wrapped in bandages and using crutches, was sitting on the sofa. He had regained consciousness last night. Compared to Sengoku's desperate state, Borsalino looked sickly.

It's no different from kidney deficiency.

His energy and spirit were extremely low.

"The Beasts Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates are quiet, the Revolutionary Army is also temporarily out of the picture, but the Whitebeard Pirates have vanished without a trace, and all our informants have disappeared!"
