On the other side of the deck, Whitebeard sat on a tall chair.

Rayleigh and Luffy didn't pay much attention, they just sat cross-legged on the deck, opposite Whitebeard.

"You don't really have much confidence in rescuing Ace, Whitebeard."

Rayleigh said calmly.

Whitebeard, on the other hand, was silent.

"In the eyes of your son, you are still that Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world, who can do everything, but only you know that you are far less powerful than when you were young.

"You are deeply aware that Marine's strength is not so easy to deal with."

Rayleigh took a sip of his wine and sighed slightly.

"Time is not forgiving. Even the strongest man in the world cannot escape the passing of time."

"After all, I'm just a mortal, not a real monster."

Whitebeard held up the huge wine jar, gulped down the wine, and said in a low voice.

"However, I must have rescued Ace, gurgling, I have full confidence."

Rayleigh looked up and looked at the laughing Whitebeard, his face changed slightly, he had already thought of something.

"Whitebeard, you're not going to..."

"Isn't this normal? Rayleigh, this is not our era anymore. This new era is the era of this kind of kid. It can no longer tolerate remnants like us."

Whitebeard looked at Luffy with a soft look in his eyes.

"Just like you chose this kid, I also have my will successor, Ace, he is a very good son, he will inherit my will, and fly high in this sea."

"This is your will."

Rayleigh understood.

From this moment, he thoroughly understood the psychology of this old friend.

He took part in this war with the belief that he must die.

No one can imagine how terrifying it is for a man to step onto the battlefield with the belief that he must die.

Especially this Whitebeard, who is known as the strongest man in the world, is going to the end of his life, burning a war with his last life.

Rayleigh thought of Luo Jie.

At the end of their lives, legendary men like them can burst out energy beyond anyone's imagination.

Sengoku, the World government and the others, no matter what plans they made this time, I am afraid they will all fail.

The thought crossed Rayleigh's mind automatically as he looked into Whitebeard's determined, unblemished eyes.

"Now that you've made a decision, I have a better proposal. How about letting Luffy be the protagonist of this battle?"

Rayleigh said with a smile.

"he?"

Whitebeard looked at Luffy in front of him, who looked puzzled.

"With his current strength, no matter where he is, he will never be a supporting role."

"I mean, surround Luffy with all your strength, and it might work better.

Rayleigh began.

This is the purpose of his coming this time.

In the following war, it must be a battle of the highest scale beyond the imagination of the world.

Admiral's combat power is not rare.

On the entire battlefield, even Admiral couldn't act so easily.

With Luffy's rampant character, it is easy to get out of touch with the main force, and once out of touch, he will be besieged by two, or even three Admiral-level characters.

Even with his powerful strength in the fifth gear, it is impossible to deal with it easily.

Coupled with so many Marine Vice Admirals and soldiers nearby, it is easy to be in great danger.

And the Whitebeard Pirates are very powerful.

Those team captains, as well as those who joined Whitebeard's command, those independent pirate groups, every pirate captain, are well-known figures in New World.

Counting those independent captains, this is the huge combat power of the Whitebeard pirate group, the Four Emperors group.

The huge combat power that Marine cannot underestimate.

And this is also the reason why the Four Emperors are truly powerful enough to cause headaches for the World government.

Their main group, as well as the combat power formed by the pirate group under their command, are truly elite, capable of fighting a large-scale war.

With the support of such a huge combat force, Luffy's situation on the battlefield will be much easier, and many people will share the pressure from all directions for him.

After all, no matter how strong a person is, his physical strength is not unlimited after all, especially in a high-strength war, the consumption of physical strength will be even greater.

"This brat?"

Whitebeard watched Luffy seriously.

"He's very nice and I admire him a lot."

"However, Rayleigh, I want to know, what do you think of this brat, and how much can you do for this brat?"

Whitebeard's pupils turned and stared at Rayleigh.

The cooperation between men on the sea is more about the consciousness of the other party.

Especially an old-school strongman like Whitebeard.

"Isn't the Oro Jackson still standing for something?"

Rayleigh chuckled softly.

"Not enough." Whitebeard said flatly.

"I will join the battle, and, even if I risk my life, I will help Luffy rescue Ace and leave the battlefield smoothly."

Rayleigh looked up at Whitebeard.

The four eyes meet, and under the lens is a sharp gaze like a sword wave. ,

"You are right. Our era has passed. I have seen the tide of the new era, and I am willing to drown in the turbulent tide of this new era."

Gu la la la, you haven't changed at all, Rayleigh. "

Whitebeard laughed.

Since Ace has been away for so many days, he has never laughed so hard like today.

"What about you, kid?"

"No matter what is standing in front of me? I will punch it away. I must save Ace, even if it means risking my life."

Luffy stood up suddenly, the straw hat on his head shook slightly, and said loudly.

Looking at the determined young man, looking at the immature but Haki face, and the familiar, slightly worn straw hat.

Whitebeard was slightly distracted.

"This straw hat is also a bit old."

"It's old, but it's always there." Rayleigh smiled.

"Gu la la la."

Whitebeard laughed boldly and said, "Then, let's have a big fight with Marine."

The heroic laughter seemed to be able to interfere with the banquet over there, and the low mood of the entire banquet rose instantly.

After a while.

Whitebeard stood in front of everyone, standing next to him was Luffy, and on the other side of Luffy was Rayleigh.

"Little ones, the war has begun."

Whitebeard vigorously raised the naginata in his hand to the sky, and let out a heroic roar.

""

Surging cheers resounded through the sky.

Time goes by little by little.

In a blink of an eye, two days have passed, after dawn.

Marineford, the port of Naval Headquarters.

Two Admirals, Kizaru and Aokiji, boarded the warship, and together with Garp who looked complicated.

Today is the time for the public execution of Ace announced by the government.

Today is also a day when he can no longer escape from his heart.

"Let's set sail."

Aokiji sighed slightly, glanced at Garp, and said to the Marine soldier.

More than a dozen warships sailed out of the port together, and their destination was the prison of Imper.

Naval Headquarters, a spacious meeting room.

Sengoku stood on the high platform, watching the warship going away.

His heart can't be calm at this moment, because he has planned for the upcoming war for so many days, and he still doesn't have the confidence or absolute certainty to win.

"Is everything ready? Sengoku."

Tsuru's thin body appeared next to Sengoku and asked.

"Ah, all the preparations that can be made have been made, and then we can only see the direction of this war.

Sengoku said in a low voice.

"Aren't you worried about Whitebeard going straight to Imper's prison?" Crane asked.

"Three Gates of Justice. There are special sea currents in the inner sea area. When the gates are closed, ships cannot escape at all. The headquarters has absolute control. If Whitebeard attacks Impel, the Gates of Justice will be locked. Whitebeard Sea Thieves are just a turtle in a urn.

"What if you hijack the ship while escorting Firefist Ace out?"

"It's so close to the Gate of Justice that if Whitebeard hijacks the ship after he's out of the Gate of Justice, Polusalino, Aokiji is enough to hold him back."

"With Aokiji's ability to freeze the sea, Whitebeard can only passively fight us. Moreover, if they hijack the ship, they will not be able to bring the combat power of many pirates under their command, which is equivalent to cutting off their own arm.

Sengoku said in a deep voice, he has considered all the possibilities.

This is an absolute conspiracy, Whitebeard's best choice is to steal Firefist Ace in front of them in Marineford.

In this case, the opponent's odds of winning will be reduced to an extreme.

However, after all, he was facing Whitebeard, even at this level, he did not have the slightest confidence.

After all, he has played against Whitebeard too many times, and he knows better than anyone how difficult Whitebeard is.

"If only Whitebeard chose to attack Impel, we can take it easy."

The tea dolphin said boredly from the side.

The waiting time before the war is the most boring, especially for the strong.

"He won't, that fellow Whitebeard, is very sharp, he won't fall into such an obvious wrong trap, and, he will definitely appear in front of me in a situation that I didn't guess."

Sengoku said in a low voice, full of certainty.

After all, when he was young, Whitebeard was the main target of arrest.

They can be said to be old enemies.

"What about the other Four Emperors? In this war, if they participate in the war, we will be completely passive.

Crane continued to ask, she seems to help Sengoku improve the overall situation and calm down through this question and answer method.

"The other Four Emperors, those old men up there did it."

Sengoku said, if the World government hadn't made such a guarantee, they wouldn't dare to go to war with Whitebeard.

Breaking the balance of the sea is no joke, if you are not careful, it will end in a crash.

Marine is the strongest alone in this sea, but if the Four Emperors join forces to attack Marine, even Marine cannot bear it.

"Above? Is it the exchange of benefits for the superior?"

He said in a flat tone, as if he had seen through everything completely.

Red Line, Holy Land Mariejois.

Pangu City, between the powers.

...asking for flowers...

Five Elders gathered here, five people sat at a long table.

"Aren't we a little too impatient for this war?" Five Elders in black hat said calmly, "In my opinion, this war can be postponed for about a year, and we will have more spare capacity."

"One year's variables are too long."

Five Elders, who was holding the demon sword and wearing Taoist clothes, said: "It's like swinging a knife, grasp the timing and swing the best knife, now is the best time.

"Speaking of which, didn't we promote this balance? When we first promoted the balance, we should have known that there would be a day when the balance would be broken."

The blond Five Elders rested his hands on his chin, looking calm.

"The era of the great pirate has lasted for too long. The execution of Luo Jie back then was a failure, which led to today's situation. Then the life of another great pirate will end this era."

Long Whitebeard's tall, lanky Five Elders murmured.

Then the bald Mustache Five Elders also echoed sharply: "Through this war, we will show the majesty of the district government to the whole world.

Five Elders in the black cap didn't say anything either. It's too late to say anything now, and what he said just now was just a little emotion, so he asked instead.

"Have all the preparations been made?"

"Four Emperors Shanks has arranged for Kaido to stop it, and BIGMOM has made it clear that they will not participate in the war.

"A pirate is a pirate, because a little profit in front of him can be easily driven."

"If they weren't pirates, it would be a headache for us. They are not weak in ambition and strength. Unfortunately, their vision and wisdom are still far behind.

"In any case, after this war, the balance of the sea will be disrupted, so we need to finish the finishing work.

......0

"Get ready to change the times, everyone."

The deep and powerful voice reminded of power, and understatement, re-propelled the pattern of this world.

This is the Five Elders, the superiors of world power, who control the world's power and power.

They sat here silently, waiting for the outcome of the war that, in their view, had already been decided.

A piece of sea in the New World.

"I see, is it the work of the World government?"

On the Redvers, the redhead stood on the bow, looking at the flag of the Beasts Pirates opposite, his face was covered with a layer of haze.

"Redhead, can you kill me?"

The huge ship approached, Kaido standing at the bow, holding a mace, looked at Shanks opposite, with a provocative smile on his face.

"It seems that it will not pass easily."

With his right hand, the redhead drew out the famous knife from his waist, and pointed it straight at Kaido, with a serious expression on his face.

"Are you ready to die, Kaido?"

Naval Headquarters, Marineford.

Warships gathered around the island, their guns pointing directly at the sea level opposite the Naval Headquarters.

More than that, in front of the execution platform.

A tall wall was erected, and a torch stood on it.

Inside the wall, in the square in front of the execution platform, are densely packed figures of Marine soldiers.

In front of the execution platform, on the high platform, sat three high-ranking chairs.

That is Marine's highest combat power, three Admirals.

Kizaru, Akainu, Aokiji, each of them is a famous figure in the sea.

Beneath the three Admirals, the round-faced Shichibukai calmed down.

And in a more forward position.

Marine's main Vice Admiral, Giant Vice Admiral, Crane and Zephyr are also among them.

Such a powerful army makes people feel desperate when they look at it.

Even Fire Fist Ace, the captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Even though he has spent so many days in the sea [experienced big and small battles.

But Marine's combat power here is much stronger than that of a single Four Emperors pirate group.

At this moment, he really hopes.

Don't come, Papa and fellow Whitebeard Pirates.

"If I had known about today's situation, I would never have let you go to sea."

A low and muffled voice sounded beside Ace.

The tall and strong old man sat directly beside Ace.

"Old man."

Ace stared blankly at Garp beside him.

"Hey, Garp, this is not where you're supposed to be."

Sengoku looked at Garp and scolded him.

"I know Sengoku, let me sit here for a while."

Garp's voice was low, and Sengoku wanted to say something, but when he saw the sadness and struggle in his old friend's eyes, he couldn't say anything.

"Hmph, whatever you want."

Sengoku ignored Garp.

He knows Garp's struggles and escapes during this time.

Justice, and family affection, in his heart, are constantly colliding.

This war, also speaking, is the torment of a people.

Sengoku refocuses on distant seas

There is a hazy fog in the sea area in the distance, making it difficult for people to see too far.

However, when the huge black shadow appeared in the mist, everyone entered a state of alert in an instant.

The Whitebeard Pirates, appeared.

The war has begun in inches. .
