One Piece: Kaido's adopted son, opening the Eight Gates

"Even if it were Whitebeard, he wouldn't be able to make the Navy take things this seriously, would he?"

"Could it be... that Whitebeard still has some trump card up his sleeve?"

Chambord Islands.

Xia Qi's extortionate BAR.

Rayleigh held his wine glass, looking at the familiar faces on the screen, his brows furrowed slightly.

He saw the Warring States period.

The once composed and steadfast admiral now wore an indescribable solemnity on his weathered face.

It wasn't the tension of facing a powerful enemy; it was more like a deep-seated fear of some unpredictable and uncontrollable force.

It's not just him.

Including that old acquaintance beside him... Garp.

"strangeness."

"Why does Garp look like he's facing a formidable enemy?"

He knows Karp too well.

Even if the opponent is Whitebeard, this shouldn't be the reaction... On the contrary, it should be a slight excitement.

Xia Qi, who was standing to the side, took a drag of her cigarette and slowly exhaled a smoke ring. The swirling smoke blurred her face.

Her eyes, which seemed to have seen through the ways of the world, held a hint of understanding.

"Why else?"

Her voice carried a calmness that seemed to see through everything.

"Of course I'm worried that the little guy might come and join in the fun too."

Rayleigh's hand, which was holding the wine glass, suddenly stopped.

He looked at the screen, at the solemn-looking admiral sitting in the center.

Then I thought of that lawless brat who dared to publicly torture and kill even a Celestial Dragon.

That thing that's giving world governments a major headache...

Lynn the Demon Child.

In an instant, it dawned on me.

It turned out to be the case.

The real threat to this impending war may not be Whitebeard.

But the one whose whereabouts are still unknown...

Demon Child.

Chapter 104 Ace and Luffy are executed together! Whitebeard's threat is much weaker than Lynn's!

On the execution platform.

The heavy chains made a cold, crisp sound.

Two figures were roughly brought up by naval soldiers and made to kneel in the center of the crowd's attention.

Fire Fist Ace.

Straw Hat Luffy.

"That's... 'Fire Fist' Ace!"

"That guy next to me... is the 'Straw Hat Boy' who caused a huge ruckus on Enies Lobby a while ago!"

"How...how did they all end up being brought up together?!"

Audiences around the world gasped in disbelief.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku, with heavy steps, walked to the very front of the execution platform.

He took a Den Den Mushi from the soldier's hand, and his usually stern face was now extremely solemn.

"Listen up, people all over the world!"

His voice, transmitted through the video Den Den Mushi, reached every corner of the world!

"Today, the one who will be executed here is not only the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, 'Fire Fist' Portgas D. Ace!"

"Even more..."

He took a deep breath, and with all his might, roared out that taboo name that was enough to overturn an entire era!

"The Pirate King, the biological son of Gol D. Roger!!"

boom! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

One stone caused a thousand waves!

The whole world was completely in an uproar at that moment!

"Wh...what?! Roger's son?!"

"What a joke! The bloodline of the Pirate King still exists in the world?!"

“Is this…is this true?!”

Countless people have been rendered speechless because of this shocking secret!

However, the revelations from the Warring States period are far from over!

His finger suddenly pointed to the boy next to Ace, who wore a straw hat and had an indomitable look on his face.

"And him!"

"Straw Hat Boy, Monkey D. Luffy!"

"His father is the most vicious criminal in the world! The leader of the revolutionary army—"

"Monkey D. Dragon!!"

Another bombshell!

Audiences all over the world were completely stunned!

The son of the Pirate King!

Son of a revolutionary!

These two men, who possess the most dangerous bloodline in the world, are actually brothers!

They were to be publicly executed at the same time!

"My God... Is the world about to change?"

"One's father is the Pirate King, and the other's father is the leader of the Revolutionary Army... These two brothers' backgrounds are just too incredible!"

"However... speaking of the second generation, I feel that 'Demon Child' Lynn is still the most formidable?"

"Indeed! His father is Kaido, and he's as strong as a monster, able to kill even Celestial Dragons without hesitation! Compared to him, these two seem to fall short..."

Discussions rose and fell.

Revolutionary Army Headquarters, Baldigo.

Long stared intently at the screen at his son, who was being led to the execution platform. For the first time, a visible tension appeared on his perpetually icy face.

Sabo, standing behind him, had his fists clenched so tightly they turned white.

"Mr. Long..."

"It's troublesome."

The dragon's voice was incredibly hoarse.

"Without 'Demon Child' Lynn, the biggest variable, being present to restrain him..."

"With Newgate alone, I'm afraid... the chances of winning are slim."

He knew very well that the Navy's display of force this time showed that they were determined to bury the Whitebeard Pirates here completely!

Just as the whole world was immersed in this enormous shock.

Gulu gulu gulu...

Countless huge bubbles suddenly rose to the surface of the sea in Marineford Harbour!

next second!

Crash!!!

The sea broke open!

A massive, whale-like flagship, the "Moby Dick," burst forth from the seabed!

Following closely behind were dozens of ships belonging to the Whitebeard Pirates!

The Whitebeard Pirates have arrived!

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

"They've attacked from the bottom of the sea!"

The navy personnel in the square instantly became agitated!

“Gulala…”

Whitebeard stood at the bow of the Moby Dick, holding a massive naginata, and let out his signature laugh.

His gaze swept across the entire square, over the 100,000 elite naval troops, over the three admirals, and finally landed on Sengoku on the execution platform.

"The Warring States period... how many years has it been since we last met?"

"I have nothing to say to you, you bastard!" Sengoku roared.

Marco the Phoenix, Jozu the Diamond, Vista the Flower...

Fourteen captains stood behind Whitebeard, each radiating an aura powerful enough to make the sea tremble!

"Dad."

Marco's gaze swept quickly across the navy's ranks, but he didn't find the figure he most wanted to see, and also most feared.

"'Ne Zha' Lynn is not here."

Whitebeard's eyes flickered slightly, a hint of barely perceptible regret flashing across them.

"Gurara... What a pity."

"If Kaido's brat son were here too, this battle would be much easier."

He slammed the naginata in his hand heavily onto the deck!

"Young ones!"
