Navy Headquarters, in front of the execution table.

When the sea began to fluctuate abnormally, Sengoku was already aware of it. This is not only the accumulation of decades of experience, but also the knowledge of his old opponent Whitebeard.

Every pirate under Whitebeard is treated like a child by him. And about Ace's matter, he will definitely appear, which Sengoku is extremely sure of.

So when he sensed that Whitebeard was coming, Sengoku decisively left the office. At this moment, as the Marshal of the Navy, the current Supreme Commander of the Navy Headquarters, his appearance is the most reassuring. It just so happened that the moment he stepped on the execution table, a tsunami broke out outside the island......

The spectators in front of the monitor already felt the shock of the tsunami just by looking at the images that came to them. However, the people here at the Navy Headquarters have a more direct experience of the horror of natural disasters.

The non-stop roar echoed in the sky above the naval headquarters. It was a sound that seemed to be able to break through the sky, not only making their bodies tremble, but even their souls seemed to be faintly throbbing.

There is no need to speculate, the first word that pops up in their minds at this time is "whitebeard". At the same time, it could only be Whitebeard, and no one but him could create such a terrifying scene. Even a tsunami in nature would never have reached the level it has now!

As a result, Whitebeard's precedent made it even more frightening.

The so-called tiger is majestic, and the old people who once laughed at the white-bearded old man are deeply ashamed of their ignorance at this time. On the contrary, in front of Whitebeard, they can be said to know nothing about power......

That's right, Whitebeard is indeed old.

The "strongest man on the sea" is now an old man. And as he grew older, his physical condition had long slipped from his peak, and although countless battles had left him with immortal fame, they had also left countless dark wounds on his body. Now, these accumulated injuries and illnesses are tormenting him all the time, and he can't do without the care of doctors and nurses every day.

But even so, he is still whitebearded.

No matter what the situation, as long as the name Whitebeard exists for a long time, he will still be the one at the pinnacle of power, the one who is admired and eager to pluck off his head with his own hands.

Love me, or hate me.

Although it was never declared, Edward Newgoth "Whitebeard" actually did it. Such a person, even if he is in a hostile position, has to say a word of admiration from the bottom of his heart. Because no matter what state he is in, he has enough power to knock anyone's desires into the dust. And his reputation has long been classified as a "legend".

No one dares to underestimate such a person.

It's like, too, no one dares to underestimate the current Admiral Buddha no Sengoku.

……

"Bang...... Bang...... Bang......"

Sengoku stepped on the wooden execution table with a steady pace, making a sound like a drum. The voice is not grand, but it seems to have a magical power that reaches people's hearts. The sailors, who had just been affected by the tsunami and were faintly agitated, were surprisingly calm at this time.

Compared with Whitebeard, although the Warring States are inferior, the reputation of the wise general has long spread all over the world. It can even be said that in the hearts of the Navy, his status is second only to Karp, the hero of the Navy. Even if the three generals are called the strongest combat power in the navy, in terms of influence, they cannot be compared with these two old men.

Coming to Ace's side and standing still, looking at the young man who was smiling exceptionally brightly, Sengoku couldn't help but sigh regretfully. And his gaze seemed to be looking for another person through Ace's smile......

......The increasingly violent sea breeze blew the robes of the Warring States to hunt, and the seagulls on the top of his hat fluttered their wings, as if they wanted to fly.

Facing the rushing airflow, Sengoku raised his head slightly and took a deep breath. Feeling the slightly wet and salty breath filling his chest, an indescribable heat surged violently, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't calm it, but it became more and more violent like cooking oil on fire.

Even if he didn't want to admit it, Sengoku also knew that he was nervous at this time.

It was like the first time he saw the sea, like the first time he fought in a naval uniform, like ...... Last time I was in Rogue Town......

For a while, all kinds of memories came flooding back, rotating in the minds of the Warring States like a marquee.

In the past, he was young and vigorous, and he never knew what fear was, but turned all his nervousness into motivation. And now, the palms of the Warring States gripping the phone bug are full of sweat.

Maybe it's because this war is too critical and too stressful?

Sengoku wasn't sure, but he knew that this time the navy would not allow defeat in any case......

"It's almost over, is there anything else you want to say?" Raising the phone, the bug was about to speak, but Sengoku seemed to have thought of something, looked at Ace's smile, and asked.

"Hehe......" Ace looked into Sengoku's eyes, but did not speak, but chuckled and shook his head.

"It's a pity...... You could have been a great navy, and that's what I ...... and your grandfather's wishes. Sengoku sighed lightly, you must know that in a way, Ace can be regarded as he grew up.

"Forget it...... I've been destined to be a pirate since birth, hahaha......" Ace laughed, his laughter hearty, but there were tears in his eyes.

"Maybe......" Sengoku shook his head, but said no more. In fact, it is useless to say anything at this time, everyone has their own choice, and the path chosen by Ace dooms them to become enemies. Do you still want to blame Karp for teaching in a bad way? I'm afraid, he is the one who suffers the most at this time, right?

Because of this, Karp left the Navy Headquarters at this critical moment, and Sengoku did not stop him. You must know that even if you go to meet the enemy and fulfill the duties of the navy, it is undoubtedly an evasion. Whether or not he needs this power, just the status of a "naval hero" is enough to affect the situation of the war at this time.

"I hope he can come back in time......" Sengoku thought, but he also knew that this was a kind of strongman's difficulty. And a subtle emotion also made him a little worried, afraid that Karp would not be able to resist the Navy......

"But either way, it's only an hour...... At that point, it will all be over!" Turning his head to look at the rising tsunami, Sengoku's face was full of determination.

"I am the Admiral Sengoku, and I have something important to announce to you at this time!" straightened his back, raised the phone and leaned against his mouth, and the voice of Sengoku suddenly spread all over the world, "This matter is about the Portcas · D. Ace, the significance of the death penalty today......"

"Ace, say your father's name!"

In any case, we should have a break between us, Whitebeard!
