Time flies, and soon the execution day has come to the world's attention, and the morning sun has slowly risen.

A ticking wall clock hangs on the brown wallpaper-covered wall.

The short, thick hour hand points to the Roman numeral "IX.", the slender minute hand points to "XII.", and the second hand continues to circle slowly.

"Nine o'clock in the morning." Tina picked up the pink bangs that covered her smooth forehead and moved them to the side, looking a little more energetic. There were six hours left for D. Ace's public execution. Tina has been waiting for a long time. ”

Tina's dignified and cold temperament is like a thorny rose, and ordinary people dare not approach it at all.

Dressed in a crisp white navy uniform coat and gloves, she walked through the bustling Maryford office hall with her hands in her pockets.

It is said that 100,000 people and 50 warships have gathered this time, and the scale and combat power far exceed the appalling "Demon Slaying Order".

Some of the soldiers hurried past with a thick stack of papers, some sat on chairs and bent over to make phone calls, and some were arguing fiercely with others, and none of them could be idle.

Tina was able to rest for a while because she had gotten up at four o'clock in the morning to get ready, and had just finished her business and had a chance to breathe.

Seeing that her eyeballs were bloodshot and her bags were heavy, Dusty guessed that she didn't have a good night's rest last night, so he pushed her out and told her to get some fresh air outside of the office.

"Dusty is such a nosy guy." Tina grumbled, but didn't mean to be angry.

Dusty is also concerned about her body, and it has really been getting worse recently.

She walked to the deserted aisle, reached into her arms, took out a pack of cigarettes, took one of them, put it to her lips, took a lighter and lit it, and wisps of smoke rose.

Well~

Are the Whitebeard Pirates really coming to Maryford? Can this war really be won? How many people, familiar or strange, will die?

Tina's anxiety for days was soothed by this cigarette.

Suddenly, there was a tidal commotion at the end of the hallway.

"You'd better get out of the way, or I can't guarantee what will happen."

It's a rather evil sound, and it's hard to forget once you hear it.

Tina turned her head to look and saw the sailors scattering in both directions as if they were hiding from something, followed by a group of menacing men and women.

The arrogant and disgusting male voice came from the man in the pink feather coat.

"'Your Majesty's Seven Martial Seas'......" She glanced at them a few times before recognizing their identities and muttered, "Tina doesn't like these pirates, they always have evil intentions, they want too much and do too little. ”

Regardless of whether a navy like Tina likes it or not, the "Seven Martial Seas" are invited, and the navy naturally has to give them corresponding courtesy, and ordinary soldiers dare not offend them.

If there is really a conflict at such a critical juncture and several Navy soldiers die, the Navy Headquarters will not be held responsible.

"Seven Martial Seas" walked towards the lounge.

Wearing a black top hat and a black knife stuck in his back, Jorakol Mihawk is "Hawkeye".

Tall and tall "tyrant" Bartholomew Big Bear with a Bible in his hand.

Beautiful, graceful figure often coiled around a red and white spotted snake "One Piece Empress" Boya Hancock.

Don Quixote Doflamingo in a pink feather coat and red sunglasses.

This is all the members of the "Seven Martial Seas" who participated in this war, and originally, there were more people who came.

But "Sand Crocodile" Klockdahl has escaped from the "Seven Martial Seas", and Moonlight Moria has died in the Devil's Delta.

"Sea Hero" Jinping was locked up at the bottom of the city, and the new "Seven Martial Seas" "Blackbeard" Marshall · D. Titch was suddenly nowhere to be found.

This has caused the "Seven Martial Seas" lineup to shrink seriously, but if a few of them get serious, it will be enough to cause huge trouble for "Whitebeard".

The problem is that neither Tina nor Smoker believe that the "Seven Martial Seas" will do their best.

In the final analysis, this war was a direct conflict between the Navy Headquarters and the "Whitebeards", and they did not need to fight for their lives, as long as they played a certain role in hindering the offensive of the "Whitebeards", they could make a difference.

It's their navy that really needs to fight hard.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and regardless of victory or defeat, this war will dramatically change the pattern of the "new world", and the reason why they want to fight is the future.

The purpose of the Sengoku period is also to make the forces of the Navy Headquarters deeper into the "New World" and more comprehensive in deterrence, so that they will no longer be exhausted as usual.

Now, the three admirals are forced to be called by cattle, and one of them is sent over wherever the "New World" fries, which is too passive.

Without paying attention, one of the generals was ambushed by the "Four Emperors", and the injury alone was already a heavy loss.

And this war is aimed at reversing that.

If you are afraid of casualties, then you don't have to lure the enemy into war in the first place, just let Ace go, and then let Maryford and the "New World" take their place, and bow to "Whitebeard".

Of course, surrender can only be exchanged for a moment of peace, and the future is like a pain of cutting flesh.

The Navy Headquarters will be forever poked in the spine and scolded.

The "Seven Martial Seas" had already gone away, and Tina turned her gaze back, her hands on the corridor balcony, her head tilted, and watched the smoke from her cigarette slowly drift across the ceiling.

This is the reality of the Navy Headquarters, they need the "Seven Martial Seas", without the support of the "Seven Martial Seas", this war, the Navy will fall into decline.

The cigarette burned out, and she completely crushed the spark and threw it into the ashtray on the trash can.

Tina stood for a moment, unable to help but raise her right hand and stare at her gloved palm.

She knew exactly what the palm looked like under the glove.

At first, it was just a dark spot in the water capital, but a few days ago, it suddenly expanded, covering the entire palm, and it didn't hurt or itch, but it couldn't be erased.

The nightmares of the past few days have also been continuous, making her a little haggard.

Even Smoker's big boss could see that she had lost a lot of weight, and she knew that all this must have something to do with David Jones.

Perhaps, Smoker and Dusty were vaguely aware of it, but she didn't want to mention it, and they didn't know how to speak.

Tina had heard not long ago that Moonlight Moria had died at the hands of David Jones, and that the pirates had disappeared without a trace.

It was as if they had some kind of strange ability to perfectly evade reconnaissance from the World Government and the Navy Headquarters.

It's unbelievable and creepy, which means that no matter where they appear or what they're going to do, the Navy Headquarters won't know in advance.

If there is such a way, according to the calculation of time, they have probably arrived in the "new world", right?

Tina clenched her palms into fists again, her eyes cold and calm.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, what will David Jones do in the "new world"?

If she is lucky enough to survive this war, Tina will have to go to David Jones herself to find out the truth and break the nightmare.

She thought to herself.

Time burned like a fuse, and soon it was the afternoon of the execution day.

——

The bottom of the sea is dark, and some strange-shaped sea beasts often emerge from the gurgling sound of water, and as for the sea kings, he has only seen two of them during this journey.

Standing on the deck in tattered cloak, Reilly clutching his chin with his silver-white beard, observes the terrifying Spectre that can travel freely under the ocean without coating.

It's amazing, but what's even more amazing is the intricate structure of the ship's interior, like a giant labyrinth, that is completely beyond the realm of common sense.

Reilly smiled lightly as he looked at the green curtains, thoughtfully, and then he heard a noise behind him, and he looked back.

"Hey, hey, hey—" Hachi's six stout arms each came out of the cabin with a cannonball in their arms, to pile them next to the cannon on the deck.

Cannon firing can be handled by Bucky himself, or the Dreadful Ghost can be used freely, but the shells must be prepared in advance.

"I'll get you two." Reilly walked over and took the two bombs from Hachi's hand, and took a closer look at them, which were painted with Bucky's iconic "Joker" symbol.

Bucky, who has always been afraid of war on Roger's ship, is so active for Ace that it is really incredible for Reilly.

The Davy Jones Pirates' decisions and actions were also quite fast, leaving the "North Sea Monster" Kuraken and "Manatee" Moo Moo to guard the Fanged City, and the Horror Ghost set sail with the members of the Pirates.

Targeted, or fearless for the ignorant? Reilly couldn't guess what they were.

Hachi's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Thank you, Mr. Reilly."

"Ah, no thanks, just leave it there, right?"

"Yes."

Reilly wasn't just kind to Bucky or Hachi, he was kind to anyone on this ship, and he didn't have the "One Piece's Right Wrist" frame at all.

The people's discomfort when they first learned about his identity with Bucky turned into a natural habit.

They follow David Jones and go through all the strange things that have honed their minds well.

As soon as Reilly put down the shell, he heard Hachi say to him: "Mr. Reilly, we are about to see the scene of the Navy Headquarters, do you want to watch it together?" ”
