Chapter 10: Smiles

As the time for public executions approached, people from all over the world had already gathered in front of the monitors and waited in anticipation. Even if there is still no change in the picture that has been transmitted, they dare not look away easily, for fear that they will miss any important moment by one negligence......

"Look! Ace is out!"

The silence was broken by a sudden exclamation, followed by countless gasps, as if people had seen a shocking scene at this moment—even if in fact, it was just a silhouette of Ace being escorted to the execution table.

In the middle of the execution table, as the chains settled, everything seemed to be a foregone conclusion. What awaits Ace is the final or glorious or tragic death, and the torment of feeling the passage of time minute by minute before death.

Ace's appearance broke the silence, and at the same time ignited the frenzy in the hearts of the audience. Some began to cheer, some raised their glasses and drank, and others, perhaps once suffered from the poison of pirates, gritted their teeth and splattered the most vicious venom. What's more, the singing and dancing seem to have ushered in the best life.

There are people who hate pirates, and naturally there are people who yearn for pirates. Especially those half-grown children, they have the courage to resist those who slander the pirates, and after being "brutally" suppressed, they have to gather around the storyteller with an angry expression, and listen to the legendary story called "Ace the Sea Pirate" with their eyes shining.

The screen in the monitor rotated, once again showing the military situation of the Navy Headquarters at this time in front of everyone. Even if these pictures have been rotating endlessly, the people who see them still can't restrain the heat in their hearts.

At a glance, the boundless array of the navy and the dozens of warships surrounding the naval headquarters all show the powerful military strength of the navy. And on the position of the naval headquarters, the thick and long barrels that are densely stretched out give the word war fortress the best definition.

More is beauty, big is good, caliber is justice, turret is truth!

This rough and primitive art of war captured the hearts of countless people in an instant, and led them to the point of no return to become obsessed with the "Doctrine of God"!

What's more, the "Seven Martial Seas of His Majesty" standing in front of the battle array, and the "Three Admirals" who led the overall situation after the battle array, made them forget even the last trace of concerns. In the face of such a powerful righteous force in the navy, even the whitebeard who crisscrosses the sea, I'm afraid there is only one way to lose, right?!

In one respect, the strategy of the Sengoku period has been successful, and the navy at this time has never been stronger. Never before have people around the world had such strong confidence in the Navy as they do now......

The picture turned, and after a circle around the audience, it finally lived up to expectations and was fixed on the protagonist of this incident - "Fire Fist" Portcas· D. Ace's body.

The picture is stable and clear, and Ace's face is delicate in close-ups, but ......

"Hiss——!"

The sound of gasping for air appeared again, and the hustle and bustle that had just started fell silent at this moment. No one dared to make the slightest sound, they stared at the monitor as if they had pressed the freeze frame button, their eyes glazed over.

In their minds, Ace probably had a lot of expressions. Maybe it was sadness, maybe it was perseverance, or maybe it was relief and relief, but they never thought that Ace would have a real smile on his face at the moment......

That smile is completely indescribable, everyone may have a different experience when they see it, but it seems that they can't really understand it at all. Perhaps, what can be felt is the dazzling light in that smile, as if it can dispel the haze in my heart, maybe...... I can't bear to let this smile go away?!

And some people who are a little older are even more shocked at this time, because they have seen a similar scene before. It was also the smile of a person kneeling on the execution table, perhaps different from the warm sunshine in Ace's smile, but the heartiness and heroism in that person's smile were equally unforgettable.

That is the "One Piece" who even if he dies, he will let his reputation affect future generations!

Don't......

In an instant, a thought suddenly appeared in the hearts of countless people who didn't dare to think about it, but couldn't help but think about it, and time seemed to freeze in this close-up. It wasn't until the picture trembled, and a huge roar echoed through the transmission of the signal, that they retracted their senses.

And immediately after, a scene appeared in the picture, which made them can't help but exclaim.

"That's ...... What?!"

It was a sight they had never seen in their lives, as the sea seemed to be boiling, and white lines were steaming upward, as if they were about to merge with the sky. When you look closely, you find that the white lines are actually splashing waves, and under the waves are a tsunami surging high, collapsing like a cliff.

This is an unprecedented tsunami, and this is nature's most terrifying celestial might!

Layers of seawater barriers collided as they advanced toward the naval headquarters. The speed of advancement is not fast, but it is not a rapid advancement, but it makes people feel more and more powerless.

Raging waves crashed in, and icy torrential rain fell from the sky. The heavy sea water was easily carried into the air, and then it collapsed with a strong wind, and everything in its path was easily torn apart and annihilated like a chicken, a tile, and a dog.

The shock in the picture seemed to affect reality, and many people felt that the place where they were staying seemed to tremble, and some timid people even fell to the ground in horror.

"White ...... Whitebeard......"

I don't know who let out a whisper, and although the voice was low, it seemed like a hammer slammed into the hearts of the others.

Yes, even in nature, there would be no such tsunami! And there is only one person who can cause such a terrible disaster, Edward Negoth, the "Whitebeard" with the ability to shock the fruit!

It was as if they had seen the giant laughing and dancing in the wind and waves. With every rotation of the giant's body and every wave of his arms, it seems to be manipulating the wind and rain and playing with the waves......

At the first thought, fear spreads uncontrollably. A moment ago, the seemingly invincible military power of the navy seemed to have turned into a beautiful but fragile dream.

It is only at this moment that they truly understand the meaning of "war on top"!

At the same time, the battleship from Impelton was also caught up in this peerless natural disaster. Where the tsunami shrouded it, the cracking wind and waves obscured the sky, blocking the last rays of light.

The cold wind is like a knife, the water droplets are like arrows, and in the face of the cold wind and rain, Crockdahl is also laughing wantonly. The laughter was full of flamboyance and wildness.

Is this the real sense of power? So, how far can one's own strength be in this world? What a madness, the pulse of this era!

"The stars are shining, and the unparalleled heroes and all kinds of careerists are crisscrossing the vast sea, competing for everything between heaven and earth, blooming with their own brilliance...... Hahahaha!"

So, what kind of glory can you leave in this world?

Looking up at the sky, Crockdahl's snort was filled with the smell of war......

"It's so exciting!"
