One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

"Yes! Let those damned Marines know what happens when they offend the king of this sea, when they offend our Whitebeard Pirates!"

"Charge! Charge straight into Marineford and blast that so-called Marine Headquarters to smithereens! Let their laughable sense of justice go to hell!"

"Ace! Jinbe! We've come to save you! Namur! We've come to avenge you!"

Whitebeard punched the air in front of him.

A strange sight appeared!

As his fist landed, clearly visible cracks appeared in the invisible atmosphere in front of him, shattering like broken glass and spreading outwards in all directions.

In the blink of an eye, spiderweb-like cracks spread across the air in front of Whitebeard.

Then, it exploded with a crisp bang!

Accompanied by a pleasant cracking sound, the vast sea behind the Moby Dick began to sink deeper and deeper.

The sea surface within a radius of tens or hundreds of kilometers is tilting.

The vast expanse of blue water in front of Whitebeard rose high like a mountain range, surging towards the far reaches behind the Moby Dick.

On the tilting sea, thousands of pirate ships from the Whitebeard Pirates drifted backward like seaweed on the turbulent ocean, converging towards the center.

Numerous ships collided, producing a piercing sound of planks cracking.

Pirates were yelling and shouting, telling the helmsman to steady the ship.

Even so, many pirate ships still lost their bearings and were thrown into the air by the mountain-like waves, smashed into countless pieces, and swept away by the waves, along with their crew, into the depths of the sea.

The surrounding pirates had no time to offer assistance, nor did they have time to grieve.

Because they knew their father's capabilities well, they knew that an even bigger shock was coming soon!

Sure enough, just over ten minutes later, the entire sky and sea began to tremble and shake.

The pirates turned around on the ship and looked towards the stern, where they saw a long, dark line stretching for who knows how many kilometers behind the prominent Moby Dick.

The black line continued to grow larger and closer, eventually transforming into a colossal wave as large as a mountain range. It surged towards their thousands of pirate ships, easily lifting them all up and carrying them together as they rushed and crashed into the boundless sea ahead.

Long before the massive tsunami crest arrived, the Moby Dick, familiar with Whitebeard's tactics, had already furled its sails, started its outer wheels, and accelerated towards the front of the fleet.

As the Moby Dick moved forward, the entire ocean roared and surged ahead in tandem, as if it had been tamed by Whitebeard into a colossal sea king, carrying the entire Whitebeard Pirates crew as it thundered toward Marineford!

"Prepare to face Daddy's wrath, Navy!"

Diamond Jozu ripped open his clothes and let out an angry roar.

Chapter 655 The Fourth General's Seat!

at the same time.

Marine Headquarters, Marineford Square!

Three Den Den Mushi (snail telephones) used for live broadcasts to the world were placed in three corners of the plaza, facing the inner bay, the plaza, and the execution platform—three important locations.

Although the actual public execution was scheduled for noon four hours later, the navy's preparations required them to begin well in advance.

The Den Den Mushi used for live broadcasts around the world also needs to be tested and adjusted to prevent malfunctions that cannot be repaired in time.

Meanwhile, people all over the world who were watching this massive war gathered at the location where the video Den Den Mushi was broadcasting, silently waiting for the black screen to light up.

This kind of waiting is extremely agonizing.

It's like waiting to witness where the future of the world will lead.

Some people hoped that the righteous navy would win.

Some people, however, hope that the Whitebeard Pirates can defeat the Navy and usher in an even more magnificent pirate era.

At exactly 8:00 AM on the day of the public execution, the black screens of video Den Den Mushi (snail phone) around the world lit up precisely on time, displaying the image that countless people had been eagerly anticipating.

In the center of the image, atop the towering Fortress of Justice, a seagull sculpture symbolizing peace spreads its wings as if about to take flight.

That place is...

Marineford, the headquarters of all the forces of justice in the world!

The first thing that appears in the picture is the vast inner bay naval port.

On the crescent-shaped harbor breakwater, rows of rotating coastal defense cannons are lined up one after another, their dark muzzles like the eyes of death, watching the Whitebeard Pirates about to appear on the sea in front of the inner bay.

At the top of the wide embankment, the first to stand were four men and women who exuded a powerful aura but were not wearing the uniforms of the navy.

Their names have long been known throughout the world through various news newspapers, and almost everyone knows them.

They are the four Shichibukai who were invited to participate in the battle!

"The world's strongest swordsman! Hawkeye, D.R. Mihawk!"

"The master of Thriller Bark, the shadow manipulator, Moonlight Moria!"

"The most beautiful woman in the world, the queen of Amazon Lily, the pirate empress Boa Hancock!"

"The world's richest man, the king of the mobile golden kingdom, the Golden Emperor Gildertezoro!"

Then came the enormous Marineford Square.

Rows of neat white formations appeared, turning the vast square into a white sea.

The naval warriors, armed with swords, spears, and halberds, all had solemn expressions. Their white uniforms were neat and clean, and their snow-white cloaks of justice fluttered in the sea breeze behind them.

These 60,000 elite officers, selected from naval branches around the world, are all skilled in battle, resolute and courageous, and unafraid of sacrifice.

Although the large number of participants divided them into hundreds of combat teams, they were able to join forces with their comrades at any time to form a stronger combat alliance.

This is the fundamental reason why the navy is called the true master of the sea.

Compared to pirates who lack military discipline, are used to being undisciplined, and rely solely on their personal bravery to charge into battle, the navy, which has received systematic combat training and is rigorously promoted from lowly soldiers to officers, possesses an absolute and overwhelming advantage in teamwork, even if they are weaker than pirates in individual combat strength.

When the strength of the two sides in a battle is roughly equal, the navy, with its strict discipline, excellent teamwork, and obedience to command, will overwhelmingly suppress the pirates.

The projected image swept across the neat formations, passing over the battle-hardened officers of headquarters.

Shiryu, Onigumo, Doberman, Flying Squirrel, Gormell, Dalmesia, Storoberry...

One by one, world-renowned veteran lieutenant generals drew their long swords.

Amidst the white sea of ​​people, more than ten imposing giant generals, each wielding a variety of massive weapons, stood out conspicuously.

Behind the giant general stands the majestic and solemn Fortress of Justice.

In front of the Fortress of Justice stood a towering execution platform.

At this moment, the execution platform is still empty.

But journalists from all over the world noticed with remarkable keenness that there were four chairs lined up on the high platform below the execution platform.

Four?

Those familiar with the highest combat power configuration of the Navy Headquarters were puzzled by this extra fourth seat and began to speculate who else, besides the three admirals, could be qualified to be ranked alongside the admirals as a non-admiral.

Some speculate that it is the naval hero Garp.

Because he was the most senior, most prestigious, and most powerful legendary marine in the navy, whose strength was in no way inferior to that of an admiral.

Some speculate that it was Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

In the navy, the ranks of marshal and admiral are actually equivalent, both referred to as the Governor-General of the Navy. They belong to the same hierarchical system and are separate from ordinary officers.

Those who make these guesses are often middle-aged or elderly people who are of a certain age.

For young people and teenagers around the world, as well as marines from various naval branches who were unable to come to the war, that name that excited and thrilled them came to mind.

Is the fourth seat below the execution platform reserved for that person?

In Water Seven, on the open-air plaza of the Carrera Company's No. 1 dock, beneath a giant projection, Iceberg, along with a group of Carrera Company shipwrights and thousands of Water Seven residents, were intently watching the screen before them.

Among the crowd, Emily, a little girl who has grown up quite a bit, is holding her mother Margaret's hand. She wears a pair of black glasses and her eyes are full of anticipation.

In the spring of Queen's City, Poplar, in order to let the whole country see this epic battle, spent a fortune to install video Den Den Mushi projections in every street and every tavern in every town.

At this moment, over a million people in the entire Holy Poplar Kingdom gathered under the projection to watch.

The only exception was the Bounty Hunters Guild headquarters, which was deserted and not a single person could be seen.

On the island of Saint Tin, the new capital of Alabasta.

A clear, huge image is projected above the newly built, flat city wall, allowing tens of thousands of people gathered on the ground below to see it clearly.

Below the city wall, in front of tens of thousands of people, Vivi, dressed in a sky-blue desert dress, stood nervously in front of her seat, her hands folded in front of her chest, her fair neck tilted back, staring at the high platform in the image, as if waiting for a certain figure to appear.

North Sea, Kingdom of Lubnilu, Kingdom of Prince, Branch 177...

South China Sea, the Kingdom of Sorbet...

The New World, G1, G5, the Tottoran Sea, Dressrosa...

Every corner of the world is waiting.

at last!

Accompanied by the crisp, steady footsteps heard in the scene, several tall, similarly sized figures walked into the frame from the left side of the execution platform.

From right to left, the following are the people who came in order:

Admiral Aokiji in white.

Admiral Akainu in red.

Admiral Kizaru in yellow.

And a silver-haired, blue-eyed, resolute and handsome naval admiral with a tall and straight figure, wearing a sky-blue military uniform and a white cloak with golden tassels.

It's not Garp, the naval hero people have speculated about.

It wasn't Fleet Admiral Sengoku either.

Instead, it was Lieutenant General Lan Lin, Luo Xia!

At this moment, countless young people from all over the world could not contain their excitement and cheered with joy.

The fourth seat below the execution platform was indeed Rorschach, whom they had been waiting for!

By arranging for Rorschach to appear on the same stage as the three admirals on a live global broadcast, the Navy's intentions were quite clear.

This is a public declaration that Rorschach's status in the Navy is now equivalent to that of three veteran admirals.
