There are still three hours left before the public execution—

Around the world, countless people are watching the upcoming public execution with a solemn mood through various telephone bug devices.

"There are only three hours left, and Whitebeard hasn't appeared yet......"

"Do you think Whitebeard will go? Although he is whitebearded, he is also a lot of age. ”

"Who knows......"

"It's been years since I've seen Whitebeard make any noise on the sea."

"He's already an outdated pirate."

"There's nothing to worry about, have you ever seen the Navy Headquarters lose a battle?"

"Hey, don't compare Whitebeard to an ordinary old man."

"Even children know how terrible Whitebeard is, so don't be too optimistic."

Similar controversies are playing out all over the world.

Chambord Islands.

In the square, there is a crowd of people.

Three huge screens suspended in mid-air are playing Marin Vandor in real time.

Through the screen that switches from time to time, you can see the crescent-shaped harbor and the entire island, surrounded by a full 50 heavyweight warships.

On the shore of Crescent Harbor, countless heavy cannons were erected.

The firepower that is enough to make the regular pirates feel desperate, as if the Navy is showing a message to the Whitebeard Pirates - let the horses come!

And in the position behind these countless heavy cannons, what can be seen is the five Seven Martial Seas who are standing at the forefront of the army and are in charge of some of the key points of the battle situation.

"Tricky Gunmaude!"

"Tenyasha Doflamingo!"

"Tyrant Bartholomi. Bear! ”

"One Piece Empress Han Cook!"

"The strongest swordsman in the world, Hawkeye Mihawk!"

"Seven Martial Seas...... Only five came? ”

People's eyes were focused on the five figures at the front of the military formation, as if they saw a high wall standing in the harbor that was more reassuring than countless heavy artillery.

When you look beyond the high walls of the Seven Martial Seas, you will find a flat and wide square.

All the famous navies gathered from all over the world, totaling 100,000 elites, were distributed in various locations in the square.

Among them, the most eye-catching are undoubtedly the giant lieutenant generals who are more than ten meters tall.

They were like door gods, standing in front of the execution table that was a cut above them.

On the execution table, there was a man kneeling all over his body covered in wounds - the captain of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates, Fire Fist Ace!

"And ...... Two hours. ”

At the bottom of the screen, countless people looked at the Fire Fist Ace on the execution table, looking forward to it.

Journalists and photographers flocked from all over the world, all of them focused on watching the public execution through the screen.

Their main responsibility is not only to report to the world as quickly as possible, but also to make public video materials available to the whole world in the shortest possible time.

Marin Vando.

All the conceivable forces of justice have gathered in the square in front of the execution table.

When the execution was approaching, the surveillance ship sent out by the navy did not respond at all.

Unable to obtain sightings of the Whitebeard Pirates, the atmosphere in Marin Vando became tense as the countdown to the execution time grew.

No one knows when or where the Whitebeard Pirates will come.

The only thing that is certain is that the Whitebeard Pirates will definitely come!

Because

On this stretch of sea, everyone knows that the Whitebeard Pirates will hunt down those who hurt their allies to the ends of the earth.

There were 100,000 elites gathered in the square, but it was so quiet that no sound came out.

There was a solemn smell in the air.

"Click-"

The sound of footsteps came from the high platform below the execution table, and in the quiet square, where pins could be heard, it was like a stone falling into the water, making many splashes.

The navy members standing in line looked up at the high platform.

"It's the generals!"

In the eyes of all the navies, three tall figures were reflected, one red, one white and one yellow.

The three generals, the Red Dog, the Green Pheasant, and the Yellow Ape, came to the high platform and sat straight on the chairs that had been placed in advance.

The highest combat power of the three naval headquarters is the last line of defense in front of the execution table!

Their arrival was like a reassuring pill, and the confidence of the navy was greatly boosted.

When the generals were in place, Admiral Sengoku ascended the stairs leading to the execution table and came to the side of Fire Fist Ace.

"Marshal of the Warring States!"

Noticing the appearance of the Sengoku Marshal, the eyes of all the navies turned and they all looked at the execution table.

Sengoku was in a good posture, holding a phone bug in his hand, and said calmly: "I have something to announce to you, it is about Potkas. The significance of D. Ace's execution today......"

“……”

Once again, there was silence in the square.

Countless eyes focused on the Marshal of the Warring States on the execution table.

Ace lowered his head, as if he realized something, and his eyes trembled slightly.

Sengoku glanced down at Ace and said straight to the point: "Potkas. D. Ace has the world's most evil blood in his veins, yes...... His father is none other than One Piece Gore. D. Roger! ”

“！！！”

Hearing Sengoku's words, the audience shook, including the people in front of the broadcast screen.

"The 'news' from some time ago is true!"

"Fire Fist Ace...... Sure enough, it's really the son of One Piece Roger! ”

People who were originally skeptical of this news couldn't help but be shocked after hearing the real hammer of the Warring States Marshal.

It's no wonder that the Navy Headquarters is risking war with the Whitebeard Pirates, and will do whatever it takes to execute Fire Fist Ace in the most ceremonious way!

"No, my dad is Whitebeard!!"

At this time when everything was quiet, Ace shouted with all his strength to refute Sengoku's statement.

"That's the problem."

Sengoku stared at Ace and said in a deep voice: "When we finally realized that Roger's bloodline was not broken, Whitebeard, who was aware of this at the same time as us, even did not hesitate to bring you, who was once the son of the opponent, to his own ship in order to train you to become the next One Piece!" ”

Ace said hoarsely, "No, I got on the boat to make my dad the king of the pirates!" ”

"Actually, the only person who thinks this way is you, in fact, the reason why we haven't made a move on you is precisely because you are protected by Whitebeard!"

Speaking of this, a wisp of killing intent flashed in Sengoku's eyes as he looked at Ace.

"If you leave you alone who have inherited Roger's bloodline, with your qualifications and the help of Whitebeard, you will eventually stand at the apex of the next pirate era, so it is of great significance to take your head here today!"

“……”

Ace gritted his teeth and looked at the Sengoku beside him.

Facing Ace's gaze, Sengoku took a deep breath, suddenly raised his voice, and said loudly: "For this reason, even if it turns into a full-scale war with Whitebeard, I will not hesitate!" ”

The righteous and stern speech was transmitted to the world through the telephone bug.

Many of the doubts involved in the public execution of Fire Fist Ace were explained at this moment.

Today's public execution in front of the world is not intended to clash head-on with the Whitebeard Pirates.

The reason for its replacement is to cut off the world's most evil bloodline!

"Uh-huh, that's funny."

After the heavy cannon on the shore, Doflamingo looked at the situation on the execution table and sneered.

Hancock hunched over a white, red-spotted python named Salome, looking like he was on top of his business.

Hawkeye crossed his arms and glanced at the execution table with an expressionless face, but silently withdrew his gaze.

Maude looked out over the sea directly in front of Crescent Harbor.

A mist gradually rose on the surface of the sea, hazy as a veil.

"Here we are."

Maude's eyes narrowed.

The words attracted the attention of Doflamingo, Hawkeye, and Hancock beside him.

They turned to look at the sea directly ahead.

Huge ships slowly emerged from the mist.

Meanwhile.

The Navy also noticed the Grand Fleet of Pirates coming from the front.

"Where did the hell come from?"

On the execution table, Sengoku frowned and looked at the shadow of the fleet ship in the distance.

The door of justice didn't open, but the Whitebeard Pirate Grand Fleet unknowingly reached the front.

I always felt that some important information was missing, which made Sengoku feel uneasy.

"All hands are ready for battle!"

The voice of the Warring States was transmitted to every corner of Marin Fando through the telephone bug.

Crash!

One by one, the navies in the square turned around and looked at the huge pirate ships of different shapes.

"Doma the Rangers, Thunder Makugay, Waidibe the Ice Witch, Skuyard the Vortex Spider, and the Dikarban Brothers......"

"These outstanding bigwigs are all captains with a reputation in the New World!"

"But...... There are a total of 43 pirate ships, but there is no trace of Whitebeard and the captains!! ”

Through the flag on the sails of the pirate ships, the navy side easily identified the origin of each pirate ship, without exception, all of them were pirates under Whitebeard's banner.

It's just that the Whitebeard Pirates have never been seen.

"Here we are...... Ace. ”

"Did you see Brother Ace?"

"On the execution table, hum, these damn navy!"

On each of the pirate ships of the Grand Pirate Fleet, the captains of the New World, who are famous in the New World, raise their eyes to the execution table in the distance.

Even though there was a naval headquarters with 100,000 elite troops in front of them, these captains, and even the crew members on board, were all fearless.

The courage of the New World pirates can be seen.

Crescent Harbour Place.

"Confirm Whitebeard's location!"

"Prepare for shelling!"

"As soon as the enemy is in range, open fire!"

Seeing the pirate fleet coming from far and near, the admiral in charge of the command on the shore of the harbor quickly responded.

Artillery bombardment, which is prepared in advance before the two sides come into range of each other, is the most lethal long-range attack.

On the harbor, Maude's eyes glowed red, and her gaze swept over the pirate ships one by one, and finally stopped at one of the pirate ships.

It was a pirate ship with a caterpillar skull with a sail flag pattern, and at the bow of the ship with the appearance of a caterpillar's head, there were actually four upper and lower three, three on the left and three on the right, a total of thirteen cannons.

This pirate ship is undoubtedly the ship with the most exaggerated frontal firepower in the entire fleet.

Since the guns were arranged at the bow, on the deck near the bow, sufficient shells were prepared in advance.

"The Daraksi Pirates."

With the information provided by the Navy Headquarters, Maude easily recognized the other party's origin through the flag pattern of this pirate ship with amazing firepower.

"The possibility of long-range sniping is basically zero, but it's ......"

Maud drew the flintlock spear that Bailey had contorted and aimed it directly at the location of the Daraksi Pirate Ship.

Seeing Maude's actions, a strange color flashed in the eyes of Hancock on the side.

No matter how accurate the marksmanship is, there is no point in shooting at this distance, not to mention that the enemies are all powerful pirates from the New World.

Hawkeye and Doflamingo also noticed Maude's move.

Including the navy who was in charge of the fire attack in the vicinity, they also saw Maude aiming at the gun.

"At this distance, how can a flintlock pistol alone cause substantial damage?!"

The gunners on the navy's side, and even the snipers, looked at Maude in amazement.

"Is it a preview?"

That's how they can understand Maude's motives.

In their opinion, sniping at such a distance has no other possibilities than a waste of bullets.

After all, the enemy is not a nobody.

And even if the enemy is not a pirate from the New World, anyone with a little strength will have enough reaction space to dodge the gunfire 100% at this gun range.

Theoretically normal.

But not for Maud.

Aim, loaded.

"Bang ——!"

Maud pulled the trigger.

The buckshot that rolled out of the chamber of the gun cut through the acrid smoke and went straight into the distance.

At this moment, the sound of gunfire resounded in the harbor and the square.

All the navy officers who were waiting for the battle couldn't help but look at the man who fired the gun—the tricky gun.

"Isn't it still out of range!?"

Many navies were puzzled by Maude's first shot at the war.

The middle of the army formation.

The tea dolphin, who was standing side by side with many lieutenant generals, pouted and looked in the direction of the harbor, shook his head and said, "That guy Maude, for the sake of showmanship, he won't do this." ”

"He's not the kind of person who would do something meaningless for the sake of being in the limelight."

Lieutenant General Flying Squirrel frowned slightly, saying that, he couldn't understand Maude's approach.

The rest of the lieutenant generals, including Peach Rabbit, were silent.

Just as the flying squirrel and the tea dolphin were saying a word or two, Maude fired a lead bullet that crossed a distance of more than a kilometer and headed straight for the captain of the Diracsi Pirates.

"The marksmanship is really accurate, and the lead bullet is covered with armed color, but ...... Shooting at me from such a distance is too contemptuous, isn't it? ”

The bounty was as high as 600 million, and the fat, round-faced, and goatee with a goatee on his chin smiled disdainfully.

With the help of seeing and hearing, he could easily see the trajectory of the lead projectile, and even had time to evaluate Maude's shot.

subsequently

Buckshot is coming.

The armament-colored sword in his hand slammed upward, and with a gentle stroke, he slapped the lead bullet that should have been shot into his neck.

Bell ——!

A burst of sparks suddenly erupted from the blade.

The armed color buckshot that was not weak was photographed in the sky by Dai Laxi.

"Twitter, but that's it."

Delaxie let out a heartfelt scoff as he looked at the armed buckshot that flew into the air.

He only admired the results, but he didn't notice the shadow bullets that flew out in the opposite direction to the armed colored buckshots.

By the time he noticed it, the shadow projectiles that were no less powerful and silently flew into the many shells prepared in advance at the bow of the ship.

“Boom——！”

It was like a wisp of fire falling on the ground with fire, and the cannonballs piled up at the bow of the ship exploded suddenly.

Fierce and scorching fireworks, in an instant, swept through all the crew on deck, including Darakxi.

"What!?"

The flame-laden blast slammed mercilessly on Darakssi's slightly stunned face.

“Boom，Boom——！！！”

The violent chain explosion that occurred on the deck directly blasted the ship's Dai Laxie and other pirates into the sea.

The entire pirate ship also collapsed and disintegrated.

From the sound of gunfire to the explosion and disintegration of the Daraksi pirate ship.

The whole process came to an end, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

"What's going on!?"

Smoke billowed into the air, and the pirates of Whitebeard's Grand Fleet looked at the wreckage of the Daraksi pirate ship in disbelief.

Deraksi had already knocked the buckshot away......

This unexpected result even made them forget about the rescue for a while.

In the harbor, and even in the square.

He ...... How, exactly? ”

Countless navies were looking with incredible eyes at Maud, who had not yet lowered her flintlock pistol on the shore of the harbor.

"Fur ......"

Doflamingo looked at Maud with a dangerous gaze.

Hancock and Hawkeye couldn't help but glance up at Maude.

"It lives up to its name."

Maude's shot made Hancock secretly evaluate in his heart.

The middle of the army formation.

The tea dolphin was shaking his index finger back and forth, and said firmly to the flying squirrel, "That's because you don't understand that—"

His words finally swallowed back into his stomach.

The sound of explosions from far away, as well as the smoke and flames, were like a slap in the face to him.

On the execution table.

Even the well-informed Marshal of the Warring States couldn't help but secretly cheer in his heart after seeing this shot fired by Maude.

The importance of this shot is not that it destroys a ship of the enemy, but that it boosts the momentum of its own side at the beginning of the war.

The raised platform below the execution table.

"It's scary."

The yellow ape crooked his mouth, as if he was sighing.

Akainu glanced at Maude's location with a blank face.

The pheasant raised his finger and hooked his cheek, and subconsciously looked at Lieutenant General Karp not far away, wondering if the trick spear back then could also do it to this extent.

Through the live broadcast of the footage.

People all over the world have also seen Maud destroy the Daraksi pirate ship with one shot.

They didn't know how Maud did it, but that didn't prevent them from judging the effectiveness of the shot.

Horror, stunning!

It is worthy of the Maude, who is known as the trick gun.

The reporters were very excited to write the draft.

Before Whitebeard showed his face, Seven Martial Haymods fired the first shot of the war!

This scene will also be the beginning of the top war!
