I, Uchiha Hikaru, have joined the chat group.

Chapter 345 The Decision to Execute Ace

For the next two weeks, Hikaru Uchiha began frequently traveling to the Dragon Ball world to discuss cloning the Minato couple and conducting research on S-cells with Brief and Dr. Gero. Esdeath also came with her, but since Hikaru was too busy to spar with her, she could only practice with Master Roshi, Kami, and Goku, who was now training with Kami.

As for Minato Namikaze...

He will stay in the pirate world for the time being and try to repair his relationship with Naruto.

By the way, please take care of Yamato, this newly adopted "adopted daughter".

In terms of age, Yamato and Minato Namikaze are actually the same age, since the latter died at the age of 24. However, in terms of mental age, Yamato is probably not even half as mature as Minato, and may not even be as mature as 15-year-old Tanjiro—in fact, he definitely is. Tanjiro's mentality is even more mature than many adults.

Therefore, this "father-daughter relationship" can theoretically be established.

Given that all four "Emperors" of the Dimensional Pirates are currently occupied with other matters, the Dimensional Pirates' large-scale operations in the pirate world have come to a halt.

The world government, which was in a state of utter chaos, was finally able to catch its breath.

but.

The impact of the "Mary Geoise Portal sinking incident" cannot be easily eliminated. A clear indication of this is the recent surge in pirates active in the New World, increasing by nearly 30%, leading to attacks on naval bases in many parts of the Four Seas by nearby pirates. Furthermore, the Revolutionary Army seems to be stirring with renewed activity.

—Part of the reason for this last point is the activities of Brand, Akame, and others.

With the latter's deliberate promotion, the "Dimensional Group" has become a banner of resistance against the world government in some small countries, igniting a spark of resistance.

When Edward Newgate announced that the Whitebeard Pirates and the Dimensional Pirates had formed an alliance.

These sparks seemed to be suddenly ignited by a strong wind, and as they burned fiercely, they began to show signs of connecting with each other.

It seems like it's about to set this entire sea ablaze!

……

"...That damned 'Dimensional Pirates'!"

Inside the World Government's office.

Saturn Satan slammed his fist on the table, his face contorted with rage: "These guys, who knows where they were lying in wait, never showing themselves, and now they've just emerged and caused such a huge uproar! They truly are a bunch of cunning villains, just like Joey Boy back in the day!"

"There's no way around it. After all, this world is too vast. Even the Navy today can't extend its intelligence network to every corner of the sea. Wasn't Portgas D. Ace lying in wait right under our noses for over a decade before we discovered he was Roger's posthumous child?"

The one speaking is Mars Mazsaint.

Satan Saint snorted coldly, "Isn't this all because of that Garp? As a Marine, he actually helped pirates conceal the existence of their offspring, it's laughable! In my opinion, he and Ace should be arrested and sent to Impel Down together!"

"...Don't forget, he's a naval hero who participated in the God Valley Incident. And he has a son who holds a high position in the Revolutionary Army. Now is not the time to bring up old grievances."

Another of the Five Elders spoke up.

After the group had vented their emotions...

It was only after Jupiter Nassjuro, who was always steady in his actions, spoke up that it was unnecessary to say anything more impulsive. Instead, let's think carefully about how we should deal with this incident.

"Although we had considered this possibility before, it has now been fully confirmed. The Dimensional Pirates and the Whitebeard Pirates should have been in contact for some time and both knew Ace. Therefore, it is very likely that Marshall Teach, the Shichibukai who disappeared in the Calm Belt a few days ago, was ambushed by them."

"However, the Calm Belt is not a place that ordinary ships can enter. Locating a fleet's location on the vast ocean and carrying out a precise assassination is no easy task. That Shichibukai on Amazon Lily may know some inside information. I suggest we summon him and question him carefully."

"in addition……

"The fourth Emperor-level powerhouse of the Dimensional Crew is very likely a remnant of the Oni clan from the Beasts Pirates, which matches the speculation that they come from Wano Country. Therefore, Kaido also needs to confirm the information to avoid being attacked from behind by him when he executes Portgas D. Ace."

At this moment.

As Nassuro Sei analyzed and narrated.

The events that have occurred on the Grand Line in recent months have been meticulously analyzed and connected by a single thread.

Behind all these events, it seems, lies the shadow of the "Dimensional Group".

This situation made the Five Elders almost instinctively sense that something was wrong, as if a huge conspiracy was slowly unfolding towards them.

"We can't delay any longer. It's time to execute Lord Im's plan."

"At Marine Headquarters, we will execute Portgas D. Ace, the son of the Pirate King, on a chosen date, and deploy our forces in advance to wipe out any pirates who come to his rescue... Only in this way can we uphold the dignity of the World Government and let the people of this sea know what they can and cannot do!"

The authority of the Celestial Dragons will not be tolerated by those lowly people!

To be precise...

The plan to "execute Ace" was something the World Government had already devised long ago.

Before a specific time and plan could be determined, their attention was drawn to the sudden emergence of the "Dimensional Pirates," leaving them with no time to think about anything else.

However, the Five Elders still felt uneasy about the alliance between the Dimensional Crew and the Whitebeard.

After all, their original plan was just to use Ace to lure and kill Whitebeard. If the Dimensional Brigade also decides to join in, then including Whitebeard himself, it means that a total of five "Emperors of the Sea" will have to come to rescue Ace. Such a formidable lineup is something that the Marine Headquarters, which has already suffered heavy losses and even lost two admirals, will probably find difficult to handle.

"...Pass the order down. Begin deploying personnel to establish control."

Jupiter Nassjurou said in a deep voice, "As for the Navy, try to gather as many admirals as possible; Mercury and I will visit the Knights of God later to discuss the specific troop deployment with Figarando Gringu. At that time, the five of us, and even Lord Im, will probably have to participate in this battle."

"This battle may be the most severe challenge we have faced since the end of the God Valley Incident. I urge everyone to give it your all, just as you did when you dealt with Rocks, to defeat these pirates..."

"Bury them all here!"
