The Legendary Family of One Piece

Chapter 531 The Battle of Marineford...

September 12, 1520 (Haiyuan Calendar)

The world-renowned battle has arrived as scheduled.

One hundred thousand elite naval troops gathered at Marineford, the Marine Headquarters, as the Whitebeard Pirates prepared to set sail.

This high-profile action drove the world into a frenzy.

The outcome of this battle aroused everyone's curiosity, but the Navy seemed very confident about it and started a live broadcast worldwide.

Naval Headquarters, Marineford.

The huge square was densely packed with renowned marines from all over the world, all of them elite soldiers.

The vast expanse of water stretched as far as the eye could see, densely packed with nearly 100,000 elite naval troops, ready for battle, their imposing presence awe-inspiring.

This includes all of the current Naval Headquarters' combat capabilities.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku, Marine Hero Garp, Marine Chief of Staff Tsuru, Marine Admiral Akainu (Sakazuki), Aokiji (Kuzan), Kizaru (Bolt), Fujitora, Green Bull...

The Navy has deployed a super-powerful lineup, along with the now-renowned Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Fifty massive naval warships surrounded and encircled the crescent-shaped port and the entire island, while countless heavy artillery pieces were deployed along the coast.

This represents all the combat power the navy can mobilize.

It's safe to say that the Whitebeard Pirates are in grave danger in this battle, considering the Navy's formidable strength was only seen years ago when they invaded the New World.

That battle was only ended by combining the combined forces of two Emperor crews plus Kaido of the Beasts who arrived later.

The formidable fighting power that the navy assembled in this battle was even greater than that of the previous one.

This is the strongest force on the high seas, the violent apparatus of the World Government, and the overwhelming power of the Marine Headquarters.

After a period of rest and recuperation, it has become even more fearsome and unfathomable.

It truly deserves its reputation as a behemoth that has dominated the world for centuries.

Needless to say, this is destined to be a brutal battle filled with cruelty and slaughter.

The entire world will be plunged into endless panic because of this overwhelming war.

A massive war loomed over the entire ocean.

Under the shocked gaze of the navy.

A large number of giant admirals appeared at the forefront of Crescent Harbor, their towering figures creating a powerful impact.

Following closely behind were veteran vice admirals from various naval headquarters, who appeared and sparked enthusiastic cheers from the naval soldiers.

Before the sound had even stopped, one after another, renowned Shichibukai (Seven Warlords of the Sea) appeared.

Bartholomew Kuma, Donquixote Doflamingo, Gecko Moria, the world's greatest swordsman Hawkeye Mihawk...

Before everyone could react, three more figures slowly appeared on the platform.

He calmly sat down on the high chair that had been prepared in advance, from left to right.

An extremely strong sense of oppression arose spontaneously.

"The Navy...the three admirals!"

The navy's top combat force arrived at the battlefield to guard it.

The three current admirals remained silent, their arms crossed over their chests, their legs crossed, as they surveyed the entire battlefield.

On the left is Admiral Kizaru—Borusalino!

In the middle is Admiral Akainu—Sakazuki!

On the right is Admiral Aokiji—Kuzan!

The overwhelming and terrifying pressure was so strong that it was hard to breathe; just sitting there gave people an extraordinary aura that was impossible to look directly at.

Directly behind the three admirals is the highest execution platform, where Fire Fist Ace is currently being held.

Marshal Zhan Guo stood atop the Xingtai platform, his face filled with murderous intent, surveying the large number of elite naval troops around him.

This is one of the few super wars in naval history.

Just in case, the Navy went all out, which also made people realize the terror of the New World Imperial Groups.

Sengoku surveyed the entire battlefield, ready to pronounce judgment on the boy before him, whose bloodline was steeped in evil.

Wait patiently for the enemy to come to us.

He knew Whitebeard's personality too well; he was sure the other man would come back.

Just then, a naval soldier rushed over and immediately stood at attention and saluted.

"Reporting to the Marshal, there is an anomaly at the Gates of Justice!"

The Warring States period did not show much change in expression.

He knew that at this critical moment, something had happened at the Gates of Justice, and there was no doubt that the Whitebeard Pirates had arrived.

He had already made arrangements for this, and now he needed to reveal Ace's true identity to the world.

Sengoku no longer hesitated, then turned on the speakerphone Den Den Mushi in his hand and began his statement.

Garp, who was not far below, looked pained. He knew very well what Sengoku was going to say.

Garp, who always seemed carefree, showed an unprecedented look of pain.

"Idiot, why don't you listen to me..."

The sailors' gazes involuntarily turned to the position of Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

The cold yet profound voice of the Warring States period resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

"Ace, state your father's name!"

Faced with Sengoku's questioning, Ace calmly spoke.

"My dad has a white beard!"

"No!" Sengoku, wearing a navy coat and a white dove hat, interrupted coldly.

An excited Ace roared, "There's nothing wrong with that, my dad only has a white beard."

Faced with the excited Ace, Sengoku remained unchanged and slowly began to recount everything they knew.

"Your mother deceived our eyes... no, she deceived the eyes of the world..."

Ace remained silent, his expression blank.

His rational tone during the Warring States period was heavy with emotion, until the very end of the story when his tone suddenly rose.

Garp below was caught in a cycle of memories and torment.

"Your father is...?"

Countless sailors held their breath, awaiting the answer from Sengoku.

"The Pirate King, Gol D. Roger~"

The entire square fell into an eerie silence. This legendary name had a profound impact and brought immense suffering to the world.

It's unbelievable that a person who inherited a bloodline of evil could have a child who has survived to this day.

Back then, how much manpower and resources were used to completely eliminate Roger's children? Everyone associated with him was purged.

No one expected that a mother would die of exhaustion after carrying her child for 20 months in order to protect him.

It is both great and despicable.

Greatness stems from a mother's extreme love, while hatred arises from the immense disaster and suffering Roger brought to the world by initiating the Great Pirate Era.

His bloodline deserves to die!

This is the voice of countless sailors and civilians.

The peaceful Navy Plaza was suddenly filled with clamor, filled with hatred for Ace, who possessed the extremely evil bloodline of the Pirate King Roger.

Countless cameras were frantically filming, the live stream fixed on Ace on the execution platform.

The voices that were out of control and wanted to kill Ace grew louder and louder.

Suddenly...

The sea in the huge crescent-shaped harbor inside Naval Plaza suddenly trembled.

A massive pirate ship broke through the sea, accompanied by four flagships, all flying the Whitebeard flag high.

This is the Whitebeard Pirates' strongest main fleet.

"It's...it's Whitebeard!"

"The main force of the Whitebeard Pirates has arrived."

This scene was captured by countless camera Den Den Mushi (snail-shaped electric stalks), causing exclamations and shock among many people.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku's pupils dilated slightly on the high platform, but he quickly regained his composure.

Ace, kneeling, wore a pained expression. He knew very well that because of him, the Whitebeard Pirates might be wiped out.

He was prepared for the enemy's arrival during the Warring States period, but he did not expect that they would appear directly from the seabed to the area near the center of the execution ground in Crescent Port through coating technology.

This means that his peripheral deployments were completely wasted.

"Ace, we're here to take you home!"

Marco shouted loudly, no one expected that the Whitebeard Pirates not only came but also went straight to the center of the decisive battle!

All the members of the Whitebeard Pirates looked at Ace on the execution platform.

Marco's words reflected the sentiments of everyone in the Whitebeard Pirates.

We must rescue Ace and return to the New World.

Ace was in tears, and Whitebeard looked at his foolish son on the execution platform with a fatherly smile.

The naval commanders remained silent, well aware of Whitebeard's formidable fighting prowess.

This battle is bound to be bloody and brutal.

No one knows how many of the 100,000 elite naval troops below the square will be lost.

Whitebeard slammed his weapon, Murakumogiri, onto the deck with a loud roar.

"Men, rescue Ace!"

"Roar~"

"Roar~"

"Roar~"

The Whitebeard Pirates let out a deafening roar.

They launched an attack, closely following the powerful Whitebeard Pirates officers, including Marco the Phoenix, Diamond Jozu, and Vista the Flower Sword.

"Navy, destroy the pirates!"

Fleet Admiral Sengoku decisively issued the order to engage in battle.

Amidst a forest of swords and spears, the navy roared and charged towards the pirates.

They would never back down in the face of wicked pirates, especially not in a world rife with sin.

There were no other thoughts; this battle was one where they would risk their lives.

Both the navy and the pirates have their own reasons for not backing down.

One side fights for the naval justice they believe in, while the other fights for their families and comrades.

A battle that shocked the world unfolded in a frenzy.

Kneeling on the execution platform, Fire Fist Ace felt as if his heart was being torn apart, watching the Whitebeard Pirates members fighting bloody battles.

He found spiritual redemption there, experienced unprecedented paternal love, and lived a happy life.

But at this moment, seeing those important people in his life in peril on the battlefield, Ace felt guilty and devastated.

Without a doubt, this battle had an unprecedented impact on both the navy and the pirates.

Regardless of which side wins or loses, it will cause an irreversible mega-earthquake in the global situation.

Both sides' high-ranking officials were well aware of this, but now they had to go all out no matter what.

Sengoku calmly and collectedly observed the battlefield, waiting for the best opportunity.

"He will be the one to end the era of the Whitebeard Pirates."

On the blood-red battlefield, explosions rang out continuously, and the relentless artillery fire never ceased, its thunderous roar shaking the heavens.

The roars rose and fell, never ceasing.

Faced with fierce and bloody fighting, neither side wavered or retreated.

With overwhelming naval superiority, the naval soldiers, led by their officers, launched a surprise attack on the Whitebeard Pirates from all sides.

Tap tap tap…

The entire square of Marineford was filled with the roar of the navy, their footsteps thundering like a powerful, rolling wave.

Meanwhile, in the first half of the Grand Line, in an unknown sea.

The Hibernating Longsun sailed across the sea toward the battlefield.

On the deck, besides Charlotte of Heberfeller, there were also the four kings of the Heberfeller family and six knight commanders.

He has arrived, in this massive war that has captured the world's attention.

This is one of the microcosms of the final battle to come.

Charlotte's gaze was icy, and her severe blow to the navy laid a solid foundation for the future.

However, his gaze soon flickered slightly.

An unexpected ship appeared on the distant sea, putting everyone on high alert.
