It Will Be a War...!!! (Part 2)

Author's comment:

Today's episode of Gear 5 is absolutely superb and hilariously entertaining 😂 😂 😂 I laughed so much that my stomach ached. Poor Kaido became nothing more than a rope toy in Luffy's hands. I can't help but wonder how the fate of the Admirals, the Gorosei, and Teach will be affected by Luffy's comical antics.

"One Piece" Events:

—————————

[Grove 24]

"EXTRA!!" "EXTRA!!"

The journalist shouted as he scattered a large number of newspapers, throwing them from the sky above the archipelago.

"IS THE WORLD GOVERNMENT OUT OF THEIR MINDS..!!?" After Scratchmen Apoo picked up a newspaper, he literally sweated from the shock of the news.

"SERIOUSLY..!!?" "IF THEY DO THIS...!!!" Everyone who read the news was shocked.

"WHAA!?"

Jewelry Bonney, Urouge, and Capone Bege, all of them were shocked by the magnitude of the news.

"CAPTAIN, LOOK AT THIS!!!" One of Hawkins' crew members came to his captain with a newspaper:

Hawkins: "..."

...

"SO, THIS IS HOW IT IS..!!"

"WHAT? CAPTAIN DRAKE?"

"... I GET IT NOW." X Drake seemed to understand something when he saw the news in the newspaper.

"THIS ISLAND IS SO CLOSE TO THE MARINE HEADQUARTERS, BUT THERE AREN'T ANY SOLDIERS AROUND."

"WHAT HAPPENED!?" His crew members asked about the shocking news to this extent.

"WHITEBEARD'S SECOND DIVISION CAPTAIN, FIRE FIST ACE'S PUBLIC EXECUTION HAS BEEN SET," said X Drake.

"WHA...!? DAMN!!?" The news felt like a bomb exploding in their ears.

"BUT IF THEY DO THAT, WON'T WHITEBEARD TAKE ACTION!!?"

"IT'LL BE A WAR...!!!" X Drake declared what would happen if this execution were to take place.

•———•———•———•———•———•

As soon as everyone on Oro Jackson finished reading the contents of this chapter, a strange silence fell on the ship.

This silence lasted for a few minutes before Marco spoke.

"Whitebeard's second division captain Fire Fist Ace's public execution has been set...?"

"What does this mean, Oyaji?"

"This means that old fox Sengoku wants to end the old era and started an unknown new era."

Suddenly, the Whitebeard crew members burst into laughter.

"Hahahahaha!!"

"Kahahahaha!"

"Rararararara!!"

"Hahahaha...!!! Do they want a war with us!?"

"As if they could withstand a single punch from Oyaji!"

"These idiots! Do they think that the provocation of Whitebeard Pirates will go unnoticed?"

"This is the captain of the second division of our crew... and above all he's our brother, even if he's not now, but he is in the future, do they think they can declare a public execution without consequences?"

"Heh~ the Marines are very confident in their strength, aren't they?"

"Even if Oyaji is a decrepit old man two decades from now, I am confident that he will wipe the Marineford floor with all of them... not only that, but two decades from now my strength and that of Marco and the others will be at a completely different level. To what extent are they confident of conquering the strongest crew in the world?" Jozu spoke sarcastically, and what he said really made sense.

"War? I understand now. That's why this saga is called Summit War? Let it be a war then! I'm looking forward to seeing this war!" Vista pulled his Saber out of the scabbard as if he was really eager to participate in a World War.

The members of the Roger Pirates looked at the Whitebeard members, who looked as if they had been injected with steroids at this moment, only in amazement.

"Wahahahaha! Your sons seem to be excited, Newgate!" exclaimed Roger.

"Gurararara! Why shouldn't they be? I'm also excited to see this next war. No doubt, it will be really epic."

"After all, I can overlook all mistakes, except the one of hurting my son." Whitebeard stopped drinking the Sake in his hand and looked deeply into the eyes of Roger and Rouge before saying.

"The two of you don't seem to feel that I'm capable of saving Ace, do you?"

Rouge's body trembled after hearing Whitebeard's words... Since Rouge read the content in the newspaper, her mood has completely changed, as if she had finally collided with the truth that she had been running away from for a long time.

Anyone could notice that she was depressed at the moment.

Suddenly, Roger grabbed Rouge's hand, and a big smile appeared on his face.

"Even if I wasn't in the world of manga, Newgate still exists... as long as he has a continuous breath, he will never allow even one hair of Ace to be damaged."

Hearing this, Whitebeard's sullen expression relaxed, and then he began to laugh.

"Gurararara! Even if I don't see him in this reality, even if he doesn't exist yet, even if he is a kid from another era, as long as he prints my slogan on his back and considers me his father and fights for me, he is my son in every time and place!"

"If my future self has already agreed to protect Ace, he will willingly sacrifice himself for him. Even in his old age and illness, a minor clash with the Navy will not discourage him..."

I'M WHITEBEARD!!!"

Hearing their father's enthusiastic words, the Whitebeard Pirates' enthusiasm increased a lot. They all cheered enthusiastically!

"Let it be a war! For Ace!"

"Let it be a war! For Ace!"

"Let it be a war! For Ace!"

"Let it be a war! For Ace!"

...

..

"Will you step in to save my son when you find out, Rayleigh?"

Roger looked at his right-hand man, who was very young unlike his version in the manga, and asked with a smile.

Rayleigh completed his glass of wine in one go before a big smile appeared on his face, and he answered.

"If I knew you were going to leave a son behind, I wouldn't let Garp raise him in the first place... let alone let the Navy execute him."

Hearing this, both Roger and Rouge had only a smile, and this smile inspired all the words of kindness and gratitude.

"The same for me! Have you forgotten me, captain!" Gaban intervened at this moment.

"And me too! Since I am a Yonko in the manga, I will not allow anything to happen to Captain Roger's son!" Shanks also shouted enthusiastically.

Buggy did not want to lose to Shanks and also enthusiastically shouted, "I will try with all my strength and determination to save Ace!"

...

Marigoa:

"So that's how it is."

"A war, isn't it?"

"How will this war unfold... a war against Whitebeard."

"The consequences won't be simple."

"Even in his old age... Whitebeard is still Whitebeard, after all."

"He's the second most dangerous man on the ship of disasters, the pirate ship of The Rocks. So, of course, it will be challenging to eliminate him."

The Five Elders had been discussing the events of the new arc with cold expressions so far... but the scenes of the slave auction drained all color from their faces.

Revealing their involvement in the slave trade to the public in a deceptive manner left them feeling disgraced.

The anticipated losses from this arc can form another red line if they accumulate in material things... that's why they were reluctantly addressing such a significant topic as the upcoming war against the Whitebeard Pirates!

"Stop behaving like kids... we don't care about the position of ordinary people in this world... the strong are not enslaved... ordinary people are too weak, and throughout history, they have been subjected to enslavement." At that moment, Imu spoke with irritation.

"The anticipated war is more important."

"This story is becoming increasingly serious."

"Soon, we will witness the next level of strength."
