The Naval Headquarters Marinefando Base looks more like a crescent-shaped island. The crescent is surrounded by a natural deep-water harbor and is also the location of the dock. The back of the crescent is the high mountain of the island, with a building like It is a naval headquarters fortress like a castle tower, with watchtowers, lighthouses, forts, etc. scattered on the commanding heights around it.
Between the Navy Headquarters Fortress and the dock, Annie and Luffy were hiding in a town that originally belonged to the families of Navy officers and soldiers stationed in Marineland. There were several large-scale buildings scattered between the towns. The prismatic fortresses and circular fortresses are connected to the naval fortress through towering city wall passages and separate the residential areas of each resident. They also have the military function of guarding the town and the headquarters fortress at the same time.
In addition, the entire crescent-shaped island has also been repaired, forming a towering, huge and tough wall surrounding the island.
At the same time, the city walls are covered with various large and small cannons, heavy artillery and large mechanical turrets. Even the top of the largest naval warship is not as high as those on the city walls!
Therefore, for this era, its defense and counterattack capabilities are unparalleled, and it can be called a maritime fortress that cannot be captured!
At least, it is impossible for enemies coming from the sea to break through, let alone the existence of the Gate of Justice.
However, even if it is such an impossible fortress to be captured, the Sengoku Marshal of the Navy still feels that its defense is not enough to deal with the Whitebeard Pirates. Therefore, in addition to evacuating all the residents on the island, he mobilized enough In addition to the 100,000 general-level naval elites, there are as many as 50 large warships surrounding the Malinvando Island and are on alert.
"..."
At this moment, it had been less than three hours since Ace was publicly executed, and Luffy was in a room on the third floor of this pastry shop, staring solemnly and cautiously in the direction of the port through the window.
In the distance, in the spacious square between the town and the dock, a hundred thousand elite naval officers were gathering there and making the final mobilization before the war.
'Hi~! '
'Drink~! '
'Wow~! ! '
'Must win! '
'Must win! ! '
'Must win! ! ! '
Luffy didn't know what their general said to them, but even from far away, he could clearly hear the oaths and cheers of the 100,000 naval elites, and the sound was like thunder. , so that the window glass in front of him vibrated slightly and resonated.
"hateful!"
Luffy, who looked ugly, clenched his fists tightly again.
Obviously, he could see that those naval officers and soldiers were very different from those he usually encountered.
They are all very strong, all are elites, and their morale is very high. At the same time, their number is as many as one hundred thousand. Such terrifying quantity and quality made Luffy start to worry about the upcoming Whitebeard.
Because, once Whitebeard and others are unable to break through the defense of the naval port, his rescue plan is likely to become meaningless, which is something he does not want to see.
Gala~!
At this time, the sound of a door being pushed behind him sounded, but Luffy did not look back. After all, he knew that he and Annie were the only two people in the three-story pastry shop.
"It's so noisy..."
。°(°¯᷄◠¯᷅°)°。
"I just took a nap..."
٩(ŏ﹏ŏ、)۶
Annie walked over somewhat unhappy, and then followed Luffy to the window.
"Wow!"
(⊙o⊙*)
"There are so many people..."
(。'▽'。)
"It turns out it's those bad guys who are making the noise!"
(๑վ‸վ๑)
First she exclaimed in surprise, and then her face turned serious the next second as a matter of course, complaining a little bit about the bad marines who gathered in the distance to make fun of each other after they had nothing to do.
Yes, in Anne's mind, those navy guys are bad guys!
Because, they actually helped the bad guys to bully other people, so they are bad guys. There is no doubt about that kind of thing. She thinks they are who they are, and they are not!
(…)
(ღ˘㉨˘ღ)
"Um!"
"There are indeed many people..."
Luffy did not look at Annie, who was approaching from the side. He still looked at the densely packed naval elite in the dock square in a square formation of ten thousand people with a straight face.
"Oh no."
"Their navy has probably transferred the most powerful people in the world here."
"This is really troublesome..."
As he spoke, Luffy's fists clenched tighter.
If there were only one hundred thousand navy, it would be nothing. However, if the one hundred thousand navy were all those wearing the 'just' coat that only general-level officers were qualified to wear, then it would be very complicated.
"It's only 100,000, what's so big about it?"
o(´^`)o
Anne turned her head away with some disdain.
"I'm not bragging. If someone needs it, just say hello and send a fleet over, and that's all in units of hundreds of millions of people!"
↜(ψ`▽′)o
Yes, Anne was talking about her fleet in the Keprulu sector.
Now Galen and Nova don't know how many worlds and universes they are operating and exploring, and the size of the Hero Federation's army is getting bigger and bigger. If she needs it, she can just call in a small fleet, and it will at least be enough. There are hundreds of battlecruisers, and they are often thousands of meters long, not to mention the number of people and the level of force. Star Destroyers are the basic configuration, and the Marines and Templars are considered small if they exceed 100 million.
If it were that kind of insect swarm fleet, it would be easy for the number of individuals to exceed 100 billion, and it would be beyond the imagination of people in this weird world of sailing pirates.
After all, the combined population of this pirate world probably doesn't even exceed one billion, right?
"..."
It's a pity that Luffy didn't believe that any fleet could have hundreds of millions of people. He just continued to stare at the 100,000 elite navy in the dock square with a solemn face, and only regarded what Annie just said as the nonsense of a child. Just words.
He continued to observe, especially the fortress tower that served as an execution platform.
At this time, he had already seen that in front of the fortress were several giant major generals and the 100,000 naval elites. And at the front of the 100,000 elites, on the high wall of the pier, facing the sea , there are also five kings of the Qiwuhai, they are:
Jorakor Mihawk, known as 'Hawkeye Mihawk', is known as 'the world's greatest swordsman', and is regarded by Zoro as his lifelong enemy!
There is also Bartholomew Big Bear, who was born in the South China Sea and was the former king of the Kingdom of Sorbet. He beat up all his Straw Hat friends in the Chambord Islands before and did bad things with good intentions. In the end, he was severely beaten by Annie.
There is also Donquixote Doflamingo, nicknamed 'Tenyasha', who was born as a Celestial Dragon and seems to be the King of Dressrosa!
Even the huge, weird-looking Moonlight Moria, the captain of the terrifying three-masted pirate group and a user of the Shadow Fruit ability, is also here!
at last……
It was Boa Hancock, the pirate empress of Nine Snake Island who had a good relationship with Luffy and provided a lot of help to him and Annie!
Looking at the five kings of the Shichibukai, Luffy's clenched fists could not help but tremble slightly.
Because he knew that except for the empress Hancock who didn't know why he appeared here and probably wouldn't take action against him, the remaining four people were all difficult to deal with!
In fact, to be more precise, those four people are not only difficult to deal with, but they are also far stronger than Luffy. If any one of them comes out, they will probably beat him?
And if the five...those four kings of the Shichibukai were already in trouble, the three generals sitting under the execution platform with their legs crossed and exuding a suffocating sense of oppression would make it even more difficult. Fei felt as desperate as facing an abyss.
"hateful!"
"How to do this?!"
Luffy punched the window sill hard, making a small crater in it, and didn't even bother to let the fist break the skin and bleed.
"Ace..."
"Those bastards!"
"Did they really mobilize all their strongest combat forces?!"
Of course Luffy knew those three admirals who had their legs crossed and were the most powerful in the navy and even in the world.
They are respectively: Polusalino, the yellow ape who was beaten by Annie, and still seems to have some scars on his face; he can freeze everything he comes into contact with, he can turn any part of his body into ice, and he can The terrifying Aoji Kuzan who creates any type of weapon to attack the target, and the Akainu Sakaski who is said to pursue 'thorough justice' and is cruel and merciless!
Now, those three guys were sitting so leisurely under the execution platform, making Luffy feel nothing but bone-chilling coldness and despair, as well as full of malice.
If Annie can take down Kizaru again, or even take down another general, then the remaining other one is not something Luffy can handle, let alone other navy generals and four Shichibukai. And those 100,000 elites.
"Where's Whitebeard?"
"When will he come?!"
After seeing the navy's layout, Luffy began to look anxiously towards the outskirts of Marinevando Island, hoping to see the figures of the Whitebeard fleet that they had encountered when they were out at sea.
This was the first time that he wanted to see someone who had nothing to do with him so urgently, because he knew that the most important thing about whether he could rescue Ace or not was the Whitebeard who appeared at some point. .
"..."
Unfortunately, Luffy quickly discovered in despair that the sea around Marinefando was calm, no ships appeared on the distant sea level, and the door of justice was still closed. It had been less than three hours since Si was publicly executed.
It stands to reason that if the man with the white beard is really coming, he should appear around the island at this time, right at the end of the sea level?
But the result...
No matter how hard he opened his eyes, Luffy still couldn't see anything, let alone Whitebeard's fleet. Now, he couldn't even see a single sail!
"what to do?"
"what to do……"
Luffy panicked a little.
He knew that if Whitebeard didn't show up and he and Annie wanted to rescue Ace surrounded by so many navy elites and a group of generals and Shichibukai, it would definitely have an almost infinite chance of success. Zero things.
"..."
(°ー°〃)
"If he doesn't come, he won't come. If he doesn't come, we will save him ourselves!"
(ˆ⌣ˆc)
Actually, Annie knew that Whitebeard was already here, but Luffy couldn't see it yet.
Besides, even if the other party really doesn't come, she is the most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most most The most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most, most powerful arcane mage can easily take care of those guys outside and rescue the guy named Ace by himself.
Her individual strength is so powerful that even if the God of Creation of this world comes, she can press him to the ground and beat him, but she rarely shows it.
o(*¯︶¯*)o

(● ̄㉨ ̄●)
(In fact, Tibbs felt that it would be better if Whitebeard didn't come. In that case, its troublesome little master would probably throw it out directly if it was too troublesome. Moreover, it still wouldn't The kind that imposes restrictions?
Then, it guaranteed that on this island called Marinevando, except for the guy named 'Ace', not even half of the remaining creatures would survive! It's even possible that if it's in a good mood, it could burn the entire island into lava and sink it to the bottom of the sea? )
"!!"
"A-Ace is out?!"
However, at this time, Luffy was not in the mood to pay attention to Annie's naughty child's words. He just suddenly leaned on the window and stared wide-eyed, looking at the execution platform in the distance being dragged by two executioners holding long blades. The thin and naked figure walked up step by step and slowly knelt down while holding the sea-floor stone chain.
Although there was a long distance, Luffy could still tell at a glance that the other person was indeed his adopted brother, Portcas D. Ace! !
This situation made him extremely nervous. At the same time, he couldn't help but grit his teeth. He almost couldn't hold back and rushed out regardless, rushing to the execution platform to rescue the other party.
Fortunately, he finally endured it with difficulty...
However, he was not sure how long he could endure it.
soon!
Luffy also saw that with Ace's appearance, a guy wearing a military hat with a seagull symbolizing the 'Navy' also slowly walked up to the kneeling Ace and began to use a The phone bug's loudspeaker announced something:
"Ahem!"
'There is something...'
'Before the execution, I want to inform you in advance! '
'...'
'Portcas D. Ace...'
'The real meaning of this man dying here today is because...'
'He inherits the most evil bloodline in the world. He is the biological son of the Pirate King Gol D. Roger! ! ! '
Admiral Sengoku used a voice that deafened people's intuition. Today, under the spotlight, he used a telephone bug to announce to the more than 100,000 naval elites and generals present, and even to the whole world who were watching the public execution through telephone bugs. People announced this terrible fact that made everyone widen their eyes and gasp.
