Chapter 469
The country of Vano.
Yeruashi was reading a fresh newspaper, lying on the sofa in a spacious room.
News on the main page — "Fire Fist" Portgas D. Ace, Commander of the 2nd Division of the Belous Pirates, will be publicly executed at the headquarters of the Sea Patrol in a week!
"Eh, it looks like my intervention wasn't enough to prevent this war."
Yeruashi sighed.
Since returning to Vano's Country five years ago, he has never interfered in the affairs of the outside world again.
He didn't know if it was the intervention of some ephemeral force or if the movement of the future in this direction was already predetermined, but Blackbeard managed to get Yami Yami no Mi.
"It looks like Belous didn't take my warning seriously enough, or...it's just been too long since that moment."
Yeruashi shook his head.
He took a step in an attempt to turn the future in a different direction, but Belous either did not take it seriously enough, or simply forgot about the warning years later, as a result of which Blackbeard killed Tatch, the Commander of the 4th division of the Belous Pirates, and escaped with Yami Yami no Mi.
Yeruashi wasn't going to interfere again.
If the first intervention did not have the desired effect, then the second one will make him lose face.
"The headquarters of the Marine Patrol and Shichibukai...The pirates of Belous are not able to cope with this."
Robin, who was sitting next to her, took a sip of tea and said calmly.
From the point of view of ordinary people, it was not completely clear who would gain the upper hand in the battle of the Belous Pirates and the Sea Patrol, but other People were well aware that the Belous Pirates were not opponents of the Sea Patrol headquarters.
Even at the peak, the chances of the Belous Pirates gaining the upper hand in a battle with the Shichibukai and the headquarters of the Marine Patrol would be extremely small, not to mention that Tatch, the Commander of the 4th Division, was killed, and Ace, the Commander of the 2nd Division, was captured.
The only hope of the Pirates of Belous was a rapid escape, after the release of Ace.
Yeruashi put down the newspaper and got up from the sofa, then slowly walked to the window and nodded: "That's right, he can't win this war."
Outside the window, in the distance, there was a strange tree that looked like a huge vine.
It seemed that this tree was so big that it could reach the clouds in the sky.
This is the divine tree.
Over the years, the height of the divine tree has many times exceeded the height of the true thousand hands, reaching several kilometers.
The divine tree has become a sacred symbol of the Country of Vano.
"The maturation will take a few more years..."
Yeruashi sighed as he looked at the huge divine tree reaching up to the clouds.
Robin hugged Yeruashi from behind, leaning against his back.
"Mister, are you going to interfere?"
"No."
Yeruashi shook his head, feeling Robin's 'softness', and looked up at the sky: "But in the past, I promised Belous that one day he would see my true strength, so it's time for us to go."
Robin asked in surprise: "Will Belous die in the war?"
Yeruashi nodded: "I don't see any other future."
...
A few days later.
The Sabaodi Archipelago.
A large number of people gathered on the spacious green square, including many journalists of various newspapers, family members of the patrol officers from the headquarters, as well as civilians of the Sabaodi Archipelago.
They all stared intently at the images projected on several large screens placed in the square.
On a small slope, not far from the screens that projected what was happening in the headquarters of the Sea Patrol, two people were sitting.
One of these people had completely gray hair and a white raincoat behind his back, and his eyes were covered with simple glasses.
It was Silvers Reilly, the Pirate King's Right-Hand Man.
A calm and relaxed young man was sitting next to him, holding a simple bottle of wine in his hand.
"You're going to...take part in the war?"
Reilly took a sip of wine and looked at Yeruashi.
Yeruashi looked at the big screen with a smile and shook his head: "No, I came...to Belous."
"Belous will die in this war."
Reilly took a deep breath, looking at the wine bottle with a hint of nostalgia.
Yeruashi didn't say anything, continuing to calmly look at the big screen: "It's started."
The screen showed a scene of how Belous gave a start to the beginning of the war, creating an impressive tsunami, in response to which Aokiji froze a huge section of the sea, completely stopping the giant tsunami.
It was very similar to Yeruashi's memories from his previous life, the only significant difference was about the Admirals sitting on chairs in front of the scaffold.
The admiral sitting in the center seat was Aokiji, and Momousagi was sitting on the right.
It is also worth mentioning that the battlefield was not Marinford, but the former G-1 base of the New World, reconstructed into the headquarters of the Sea Patrol.
Reilly also looked at the screen, pushing aside the memories that came flooding back.
Numerous Pirates of Belous rushed to the attack, starting a large-scale battle.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
Loud explosions were heard everywhere.
The atmosphere of a terrifying battle was felt even through the image on the screen.
On this fierce battlefield, even pirates with rewards of several hundred million belli could lose their lives at any moment.
"The greatest war has begun..."
Numerous journalists, standing in front of large screens, made notes in notebooks with trembling hands, muttering something to themselves.
One of the three legends of the past era, who stood on a par with the Pirate King Golden Roger and the Golden Lion Shiki, as well as the bearer of the title of the Strongest Man in the World for many years, Belous Edward Newgate, entered into an open war with the headquarters of the Sea Patrol, maintaining order on the expanses of the sea!
The situation is markedly different from the Yeruashi raids on Marinford or Marijoa.
After all, this battle was broadcast to the whole world, for the sake of deterring pirates and strengthening the authority of the Sea Patrol!
The broadcast was carried out not only in the Sabaodi Archipelago, but also on most densely populated islands around the world.
At this moment, even in Totto Land, on the Cake Island, Big Mama's Father, the strongest Candy General Katakuri and the others were carefully watching the image broadcast from the headquarters of the Sea Patrol.
This war has attracted the attention of people all over the world!
Attacks of Aokiji, Kizaru, Hawkeye...every movement of the people standing on the very top of the sea attracted the attention of countless people all over the world, causing their hearts to tremble violently.
But Yeruashi, on the contrary, was absolutely calm, because from his point of view, the battle of Aokiji and the rest of the strongest, was not much different from the battles of Vice Admirals.
"Quina has already reached this level..."
Yeruashi paid attention to the figure shown on one of the large screens and shook his head.
It seems that there were still significant differences in this war, compared to the original.
By this point, Kuina was a little stronger than even the Vice Admiral of Momonga's headquarters.
Her ability to withstand the attacks of the Flower Blade Vista for a while, clearly indicated that she had reached the top of the level of a sword master.
Zoro, at this moment being only one of the supernovae, is much inferior to the current Queen.
Although it is worth considering that Quina is older and left Shimotsuki village a few years earlier, having experienced much more battles by this time, but this does not negate the fact that her talent is really excellent.
