The most courageous pirate hunter

"I still can't quite believe that Captain Roger actually has descendants."

Some people stared intently, but were secretly overjoyed.

"Kula la~"

Whitebeard breathed a sigh of relief; they had finally arrived.

Judging from the appearance, the ship must have been frozen at sea and traveled at high speed to get here, otherwise it wouldn't have taken so long. In addition, Whitebeard was also surprised that so many people had come.

"Tell us, is your biological father Gol D. Roger, and your mother Portgas D. Rouge!"

Skullba Jabba sent a message to Ace from afar.

If so, they will spare no effort to rescue them.

The captain's bloodline must not be allowed to die out here.

"Rayleigh, Jabba!"

Zhan Guo's face was gloomy. The thing he was worried about had happened. Although he had expected it, he was still a little shocked when it actually happened. He hadn't expected so many people to come.

“Ace, they were your father’s most trusted partners and opponents who fought the Whitebeard Pirates many times. The bloodline you carry is not a sin. Whether you admit it or not, I cannot save you.”

Whitebeard's meaning was clear: he wanted Ace to acknowledge him.

They need this strength.

Chapter 289 [You son of a bitch, Sengoku, I've finally caught you!]

Ace's feelings were complicated.

He didn't want to acknowledge that man, but even his father had said so. If he didn't want his comrades to suffer even greater casualties, he had no choice but to rely on the connections that man had left behind.

Are you going to accept his favor?

Ace bit his lip hard, closed his eyes, and still managed to shout it out.

"My biological father is Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King, and my mother is Portgas D. Rouge."

this moment.

The war and the world quieted down.

Ace had previously denied it, and many people still had some doubts, but now it's confirmed.

"Hahaha~"

"It's been a long time since we've fought."

"Navy, remind me of my carefree days!"

One of the Roger Pirates members laughed heartily, saying that after disappearing into seclusion for so long, they never expected to be able to fight one last time before they died.

Many people even have other ideas.

For example, training Ace to become the next Pirate King.

With both father and son being Pirate Kings, they will surely be remembered for eternity.

"Watch out! Those monsters from the Roger Pirates have made their move!"

A lieutenant general shouted, his eyes filled with apprehension.

"You old fogies, times have changed!"

"Kill them."

The situation became chaotic again. With the help of the Roger Pirates, the pressure on the Whitebeard Pirates was immediately relieved, which made Sengoku's face as black as could be.

"Garp, Zephyr, you two go and stop Rayleigh and Jabba!"

Sengoku looked at Sakazuki and Kuzan, who were still ganging up on Whitebeard, while Rayleigh and Jabba were like prehistoric beasts, and the generals blocking their way couldn't withstand more than a few rounds.

Only Zephyr and Garp can withstand it.

As for Borsalino, he cannot be attacked yet, after all, he is all show and no substance.

Even Tsuru had already made her move, stopping Taro. Momousagi and Chaton also took on members of the Roger Pirates one after another. Facing these battle-hardened experts, they could not afford to be careless in the slightest.

call out! ! !

Before disappearing, Garp glanced at Ace, his bloodshot eyes filled with heartache.

When it appears.

Zephyr and Garp had already blocked Rayleigh and Jabba's way. Since they were all old acquaintances, they didn't immediately start fighting, but instead greeted each other.

"The situation has turned!"

outside world.

Looking at the war now that the balance has been restored, many people are unsure who will ultimately win. In the past, it would have been the navy, but now that's uncertain.

"Damn Newgate, damn Rayleigh!"

Sengoku stared intently at the battlefield, hoping that Sakazuki and Kuzan could quickly defeat Whitebeard. Once Whitebeard was defeated, the war would be more than half won.

Now that the remnants of the Roger Pirates have appeared, all that's missing are the Revolutionary Army, Monarch, and other old monsters.

"Jie Jie Jie!"

Opportunities can come unexpectedly.

Seeing that all eyes were focused on the battlefield, Hermes didn't delay any longer. If he didn't act now, when would he? In an instant, he gripped the executioner's sword with both hands, and with a terrifying aura, he stabbed Sengoku in the back.

No sign.

As expected, Sengoku, who had been focusing all his attention on the battlefield, was caught completely off guard. His entire body was pierced by a long sword, and he swayed as he coughed up blood.

"Damn it."

Despite the pain and weakness, Sengoku's body emitted a blinding Buddhist light, and he was about to enter the form of a great Buddha. However, Hermes grinned ferociously, and the purple-white Haki wrapped around his long sword expanded, directly pulverizing Sengoku's internal organs.

"Ahhh!"

A bloodcurdling scream.

Sengoku's entire body swelled up, blood gushing from his seven orifices. His attempt to enter Buddha form was forcibly stopped, but his Conqueror's Haki spread throughout the entire area, though it had no effect on Hermes.

At that moment, a door appeared behind Ace, and Hody Jones appeared, grabbing the sea stone chains that were binding Ace. With a tug, he forcibly pulled the wooden plank of the torture platform and Ace into another dimension.

Everything happened too fast.

When everyone's eyes turned to him, Sengoku had already been stabbed through the heart, and at the same time, Fire Fist Ace disappeared into another dimension. In that critical moment, three extremely powerful auras rushed out from the headquarters building.

It was the Five Elders and Cyborg Kong, but unfortunately they were too late.

"You son of a bitch, Sengoku, I've finally caught you."

Hermes did not retreat. Even though he had already shattered Sengoku's internal organs, he still finished him off immediately, and a sun began to rise from his right fist.

"what happened."

"Execution platform."

"How is that possible? The Warring States period was attacked by surprise."

"Fire Fist Ace seems to have been rescued."

"That blinding halo, could it be...?"

"How can it be."

Both the battlefield and the outside world were suffocating, especially those who had grudges against Hermes. Seeing those incredibly familiar moves, a figure appeared in their minds.

"Jörmungandr!"

The Warring States period's heart-wrenching roar echoed through the sky, eventually being enveloped by the scorching sun. Then, a vast mushroom cloud began to rise, and an unstoppable destructive force spread in all directions.

Even the Five Elders and Kong, who took action, could only temporarily hold them off.

"Hey Hey hey!"

"Can anyone tell me why the most courageous man in the world would be on the execution platform?"

"Run! Get off the execution platform!"

The navy officers who were near the execution platform were all horrified, but it was too late. Many of the officers were turned to ashes in the blazing explosion, without even being able to utter a scream.

"retreat."

All fighting had essentially ceased because the shockwave was spreading relentlessly, and it was the kind that didn't discriminate between close and distant relatives.

Borsalino, who was in the general's seat, retreated immediately. When he reappeared in the distance, his face turned grim. He didn't know what had happened, he only saw a familiar sun.

Then came the hysterical voice of the Warring States period.

It is Jormungandr.

Buzz! ! !

A vast mushroom cloud swept across the clouds amidst lightning and thunder, causing earthquakes throughout most of Marineford. Only thanks to the combined efforts of many skilled individuals did the shockwave prevent the plaza from being destroyed.

But when the smoke cleared, what appeared to the world was a huge crater.
