Navy Headquarters, Marine Vandot
It was now nine o'clock in the morning, three hours before Ace's execution.
One hundred thousand naval elites have gathered here, three generals have already returned to their posts, eleven vice admirals and five giant vice admirals, dozens of rear admirals and countless captain-level navies, all of whom have come from naval bases around the world. The transferred elites arrived one after another a week ago.
When they arrived, the headquarters had just dispersed all the ordinary residents living in Marinevando, and some of the homeless people were temporarily placed in temporary residences built in Area 49 of the Chambord Islands near the naval station.
Moreover, after the residents were dispersed, the Navy Headquarters conducted seven days of training in order to deal with Whitebeard's attack, dividing the teams, dividing the commands, dividing the responsible areas and the garrison core. _o_m
As for whether the Whitebeard Pirates will return.
Warring States is very confident about the result. Will do.
The first is Sengoku's understanding when he was chasing Whitebeard on the sea. Secondly, the navy's eyes in the new world have already been tracking the movements of Whitebeard's fleet and subordinate fleets. And they all moved towards "paradise" during this time.
If there is anything else that makes Sengoku feel uneasy, it is that the main fleet of the Whitebeard Pirates has disappeared from the navy's sight.
This is not good news. When it is confirmed that the enemy will attack with a 90% probability, failure to grasp the enemy's actions may allow the opponent to find opportunities, which may cause huge losses to the navy.
Standing on the observation deck next to the execution platform, Warring States looked at the sky and the sea in the distance, frowning slightly.
The weather was not friendly. Although it was not overcast, the clouds covered the sky and he could not see the sun. The sea in the distance is also filled with thick sea fog because of this weather.
wrong……
The more Warring States looked, the more he felt something was wrong.
There is no problem with the existence of sea fog, but this level of sea fog is very abnormal. He didn't feel it clearly even though it was far away before. However, as the temperature of the land of Marinefando increased, the surrounding airflow began to blow towards Marinefando. Come, and at the same time, this sea mist gathers towards Marine Fando.
As the sea fog slowly spread over Marinevando, the visibility was visibly reduced.
This is not normal sea fog. Normal sea fog will thin quickly after passing through the heat flow of the land. Although it will affect the visibility of the sea surface, it will never be as visible as now, which is only about one kilometer.
If the Whitebeard Pirates launch a surprise attack at this time, the navy's defense arrangements will become very hasty.
"A person with abilities related to fog?"
Warring States flipped through the information in his mind and finally frowned.
One of the wanted files with this ability in the West Sea is a user with the Mist Fruit ability named Shilok. Because he is suspected of being involved with the revolutionary army, the World Government has been responsible for hunting him down. He suddenly disappeared in the West Sea some time ago. The destination is unknown.
only……
At that time... Blackbeard didn't seem to have brought Ace to breathe in the Shichibukai.
Warring States only felt that there seemed to be many things behind this that he could not figure out. Various things seemed to be involved, but they would always be disconnected somewhere. Everything points to an unlikely possibility.
There is a huge organization with powerful stealth capabilities that is unknown to the Navy and the World Government.
But this kind of thing...
Shaking his head, Warring States felt that it was better not to think too much about this matter. The matter seemed to be related to the Revolutionary Army, so it was better to leave it to the World Government. As for the Revolutionary Army, he really didn’t want to get involved too much, even if his identity was not there. Here, he also has a hint of recognition of the revolutionary army, and it is precisely because of this recognition that he is not too concerned about Long's defection from the navy to form the revolutionary army. The longer he held the position of Admiral of the Navy, the more doubts he had about the unjust operations of the World Government.
After all, the funds for the Navy to safeguard justice are given by the World Government's father, the financial backer, so it's not easy for him to openly oppose it.
Letting dragons take the trouble is a way to at least put pressure on the world government to correct some shortcomings.
He waved his hand, Warring States.
A liaison adjutant was recruited.
"Have all the Shichibukai come out? Also, have you finished what you told Garp?"
The adjutant gave a military salute and said, "Report, all the Shichibukai except Yuyuko Shikami are in place. Lieutenant General Garp is guarding Yuyuko Shikami according to your arrangement."
Warring States was a little surprised, "She didn't resist the Shanghai Tower stone handcuffs?"
"No." The adjutant recalled what he had seen before, with a somewhat bad expression. "She seemed to have expected this situation. Although she said a few words at the beginning, after Lieutenant General Garp arrived, she happily On."
Sengoku nodded, "Is Garp guarding the key?"
"Yes."
"Okay, you can continue to work on scheduling."
The adjutant left, and Seng Guo let out a long sigh.
If his conjecture was correct, even if Yuyuko Shikami wasn't the one who pushed things over at Impel Down City, she was definitely involved. The flying pirate ship she owned was not afraid of being blocked by the Windless Zone.
According to the situation sent before Impel Down City's intelligence was cut off, the Straw Hat boy first sneaked into Impel Down City alone, and no members of the Hikka Pirates were involved.
Therefore, the Straw Hat Kid's infiltration should precede the Flying Flower Pirates' actions.
However, Warring States has no idea what is going on in Impel Down City now. And as the execution time approached, he was no longer allowed to think about things there.
This was a public execution, and just like Roger's execution, telephone bugs were used for real-time reporting. Now on Marinevando, several telephone bugs specialized in transmitting images are reporting to the Shampoo Islands hundreds of kilometers away. Live broadcast.
This is where the least problems can arise now.
As for Impel Down, I can only believe that Magellan can handle it well, and don't make any big mistakes again.
Turning his gaze back to the sea, Warring States took a long breath to refocus his attention.
I looked at my pocket watch and saw that the minute hand had gone one step further.
Pick up the phone bug
"It's almost time, escort the prisoner Poscat D슷Ais to the execution platform."
Because of the special status of the Shichibukai, the navy arranged a special residence in Marinevando. Of course, under privileged circumstances, they also enjoyed the navy's constant surveillance.
The person who sits in this residence is the naval hero, Garp.
At this moment, all the Shichibukai had gone to the front and were on standby, but Yuyuko was left alone to attack.
Half an hour ago, she must have known about the situation in Impel Down City. Sengoku excluded her from this strategy and asked Garp to come over and ask her to "voluntarily" wear Shanghai Stone handcuffs to limit her strength.
Yuyuko, who had already had a premonition, put it on after a symbolic protest.
After putting on the handcuffs, Yuyouzi became more relaxed.
Warring States was afraid that she would betray him, and she just didn't want to go out and face her father.
There is a video phone bug in the residence, which is connected to the situation outside the execution platform, and the screen is almost facing the execution platform.
Looking at the figure who was slowly being escorted to the execution platform, Yuyuko broke the silence between her and Garp. Update without error@
"Hey, Uncle Garp, do you still remember the conversation I had with you when Ace joined the Whitebeard Pirates?"
Karp was stunned for a moment, then thought about it.
At that time, Ace was making a lot of noise when he went to sea, and he and Yuyuko appeared in the West Sea at the same time to suppress an extreme war madman named Bekado. That conversation happened at that time.
Yuyuko sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, holding a cup of coffee with lots of sugar cubes in her hand.
She doesn't like coffee very much. The bitter taste doesn't bring much happiness except to make people clearer. Sugar can.
This is not coffee, it should be called a coffee-flavored sweet drink.
However, the bitter taste still made Yuyouzi frown slightly, especially at this time, the bitterness became inexplicably more prominent. Youyouzi put down the cup with a look of reminiscence.
"At that time, I asked you, is it really good for Ace to join the Whitebeard Pirates? You had a choice at that time. As long as you really fight, I believe Whitebeard will let him go."

"Do you remember what I said when we parted?"
Garp was silent, his palms had been clenched into fists unconsciously, his fists were trembling, and the blue blood vessels at the corners of his eyebrows were also trembling.
His closed eyes and closed lips, his teeth were constantly clashing with each other due to trembling.
"boom!"
The table shattered in response.
Yuyuko remained unmoved. She just grabbed the coffee cup firmly before the table broke into pieces, then held the tray and lifted it up smoothly again, parting her lips.
"So, do you regret your original choice?"
Yuyuko looked at Garp calmly. Garp did not dare to look directly into Yuyuko's eyes, because he knew that there was an angry flame burning under that seemingly calm gaze, which contained a domineering and direct attitude that could penetrate him and be invincible in the world. Insert inner criticism.
However, he still couldn't answer.
He is a naval hero and a symbol of the navy. And as soon as he opened his mouth... he knew that he would be unable to control his self-blame. Compared with the sharp guns and blades on the battlefield, Yuyouzi's gaze made him unable to resist.
Youyouzi sighed, waved her hand and used the wind to drag the coffee cup to the side cabinet.
"Aren't you going to talk to him again?"
Youyouzi pointed to the execution platform in the picture.
"This may be your last chance. If you can do it."
Garp's eyes suddenly opened and he stared blankly at the execution platform in the picture, his whole body trembling.
Yes, I can try again!
With his head buried, Garp stood up suddenly and walked toward the door silently.
"Wait!" Yuyuko stopped Garp and added something.
"Seriously, maybe you can think about how you will face Maginot, the village chief and Dadan when you return to Windmill Village..."
Garp's body trembled again, and he walked out straight as if he had made some determination in his heart.
Looking at Garp's retreating figure, a smile appeared on Yuyuko's lips.
He just smiled and closed his eyes silently with an ugly expression.
The person asking the question was Garp, but it wasn't him.
Obviously my chances are better than Garp's
More!
More.
More……
He covered his face and remained silent until... On the execution platform in the picture, Garp, who was clothed in justice, walked up step by step with heavy steps.
Yuyouzi smiled. He reached out and grabbed the flowers lying on the back of the sofa, carried it behind his back, and left the room step by step like Garp.
"Garp, what are you doing?!"
At the edge of the execution platform, Seng Guo was shocked to see Garp arriving without notice, and quickly tried to stop Garp.
"Warring States!"
Garp raised his head and looked directly at Sengoku. His expression was completely devoid of his usual fortitude and optimism, and instead contained a low-profile begging like an old father.
This appearance of Garp made Warring States moved. His tall and straight body had a slight wrinkle, and his head that was always arrogant and never bowed now looked a little humble.
Is this really the Garp he is familiar with?
"Garp...you..."
What Garp said with his eyebrows was just a low voice.
"Let me... talk to him~"
Sengoku was stunned for a long time, and when he came to his senses, Garp had already passed him and walked towards Ace.
Warring States sighed silently, with a trace of cold sweat breaking out from his clenched fists. _o_m
"Don't do anything stupid, Garp!"
Amidst Sengoku's prayers, Garp came to Ace's side and slowly sat down cross-legged. .
