Chapter 703 Introduction to an Unprecedented War!
_________________
Drum Kingdom:The cold atmosphere of this place didn't dampen the excitement of the inhabitants at this moment; it instead gave birth to a little warmth.
Since the update of the One Piece manga, dozens, then hundreds, of Drum Kingdom residents began flocking to the art store in waves.
Inside the warm art store, unlike the outside, the atmosphere was incredibly lively, just as the residents of the Ice and Snow Kingdom had been accustomed to over the years... People from all walks of life and social levels could be seen here.
Marines, pirates, government's agents, hunters, pirate hunters, journalists, doctors A lot of people!
Even people from places other than Drum Island came; the recent Sea Train project had contributed to bringing many people to Drum Island.
After all, this island had finally been connected to the vast railroad network that was already linking all the islands of the first half of the Grand Line.
..
"Oh, that's interesting"
" They've completely evacuated Marineford Island..."
"I see that. They must be prepared for the worst already."
"Strange, why would they organize something like this, Den Den Mushi broadcasting live in Sabaody Archipelago... Do they trust themselves to this extent, I mean to broadcast the war events live?"
"The World Government has always preferred making such moves."
"Oh my goodness"
"... What a magnificent scene!"
"I got chills just looking at this multitude of soldiers and prominent figures participating in the war..."
"My blood is burning with excitement, my god... This is amazing!"
At this moment, the shocking scenes in the first segment alone of the Marineford Arc ignited the readers' excitement.
Chapter's Events:
[Grand Line - Marineford - Marine Headquarters]
The majestic fortress emerged with bold letters inscribed upon it - Marineford - in the middle of the calm sea, surrounded by dozens of warships like a formidable belt.
On the grounds of Marineford, six giants clad in Marine attire could be seen, alongside them appeared hundreds of thousands of Marine soldiers like swarming ants!
Behind them, the execution platform where Ace awaits his fate.
"DON'T BE NERVOUS!!!"
At that moment, a loud voice echoed across the plaza, breaking the eerie silence.
"NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS, THERE'S ONLY THREE MORE HOURS!!!"
"THEN IT'LL ALL BE OVER!!!"
It turned out one of the six giants was the one who shouted to dispel the tension from the hearts of the Marine elites.
[Well-known marines have been gathered from all over the world.]
[In all, over 100,000 elites are there waiting for the final battle.]
[Fifty battleships are stationed around the crescent-shaped bay and island.]
[Countless heavy cannons are set up along the coast.]
[At the very front of the troops, visible from port, stand the five villains who hold the key to the battle, the Royal Shichibukai.]
From right to left: Boa Hancock, Hawkeye Mihawk, Donquicote Doflamingo, Gecko Moria, and finally Bartholomew Kuma!
[And at the rear of the plaza, atop the towering execution platform, the center of this incident, the head of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates, Portgas D. Ace, awaits his fate.]
[Before his eyes, protecting the platform, are the Marine's greatest military force,]
[THE THREE ADMIRALS.]
Sitting on luxurious seats in a dignified manner with calm expressions:
On the right, Admiral clad in blue attire Aokiji (Kuzan).
In the middle, resting one leg over the other with a fierce expression on his face, the Admiral in red attire, Akainu (Sakazuki), makes his first appearance as an admiral.
Then on the left, also resting one leg over the other, the Admiral in yellow attire, the man who caused a devastating defeat to the Straw Hat Pirates, Kizaru (Borsalino).
[All of the forces of justice imaginable have gathered to prevent Ace's rescue and wait for the Whitebeard Pirates.]
"This"
"This arc began with a grand introduction"
"So this is Akainu the ruthless Marine dog who cold-bloodedly killed innocent people in Ohara"
In the art store tavern, Kureha remarked directly after seeing the powerful forces gathered by the Marines to ensure the execution proceeds smoothly.
"All this power, just for executing a boy already in their grasp No, in fact, all this power is for dealing with Whitebeard only," Hiriluk said with disdain.
"Whitebeard must have terrified them for years And even as an old man, he still terrifies them. They won't rest until they've dealt with him, right?"
On the side, King Mapol's comment caught Kureha and Hiriluk's attention.
"Hehe~ No, this is just the toll of having great power and an even greater infamous reputation When Whitebeard grew old and his power dwindled greatly, this is the perfect time to eliminate him and make an example for all the aspiring pirates," Kureha said, moving the glass of wine in her hand before drinking it in one gulp.
"The Marines, no the World Government wants to end an era and start a new one, maybe if they initiate it, they'll have the upper hand in the new era But what they don't know is that the new era's hero will be our protagonist"
"Monkey D. Luffy"
"Straw Hat"
Both Hiriluk and King Mapol said simultaneously with a smile.
"That sums it all up" Queen of Drum Kingdom, Mapol's wife smiled lightly, then returned to immerse herself in the thrilling manga events.
On the outskirts of Sphinx Island,a fleet of three ships resembling the heads of massive whales halted, led by the ship Moby Dick.
These ships belonged to the Whitebeard Pirates, and the moment the residents of the small island saw the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates, they cheered with joy.
Today wasn't just a day for One Piece manga, but also a day for the return of the legend of the island, Edward Newgate, to his homeland once again.
"Gurararara! Everyone seems lively," Whitebeard descended from Moby Dick, followed by his sons, their faces adorned with smiles.
At this moment, the destination for the Whitebeard Pirates was the art store in the center of town, where they could spend enjoyable time with the residents of Sphinx and with each other.
"A volume like this, I can only truly enjoy it in a place like this"
Whitebeard opened the new volume with a hidden gleam in his eyes.
