Summit War Is Coming! !

The Summit War Looms

As the Summit War, destined to capture worldwide attention, draws near, chaos erupts across the Grand Line.

With danger looming and the region on the brink of explosion, countless individuals and factions scramble to escape from this land of turmoil.

The First Half of the Grand Line

Bai Ye, a man now infamous as the "Sinner," carrying an unprecedented bounty of 4 billion Baileys placed by the World Government, sat calmly as a newspaper in his hand burned to ashes, consumed by a flicker of flame.

There was no fear on his face. No tension, no urgency.

While the rest of the Grand Line quaked in terror, Bai Ye looked on with a calm disdain.

"Faced with a situation beyond their control, the Marines finally decided to rely on the World Government... It's just like them," Bai Ye muttered, his tone dripping with contempt.

As a traveler—someone who had crossed over from another world—Bai Ye could clearly see the truth behind the Marines' decision to announce the execution early.

One Marine Admiral dead. Another critically injured. Their pacifista fleet severely weakened.

Without the World Government pulling the strings, the Marines would never have dared to make such a reckless, seemingly foolish move. The intervention of the World Government was now undeniable.

Even so, the prospect of facing the behemoth that was the World Government didn't faze Bai Ye in the slightest.

In fact, this was the moment he had been waiting for.

A World Ready to Burn

Bai Ye's eyes narrowed as he stared out at the Grand Line, his voice low and resolute.

"To completely overturn this rotten world and bury the World Government… enemies like these were bound to appear eventually."

There was no hesitation in his heart.

With the World Government now revealing its fangs, Bai Ye could already foresee the outcome.

"They won't be the first to fall to Ryūjin Jakka," he murmured, gripping the hilt of his fiery blade. "Nor will they be the last before the World Government is brought to its knees."

For Bai Ye, this was merely the beginning.

Somewhere in the Deep Sea

Aboard the Moby Dick, the flagship of the Whitebeard Pirates, chaos erupted following the shocking announcement.

The Marine government had brought forward the execution date of Portgas D. Ace, disrupting Whitebeard's carefully laid plans.

"Are you kidding me?!" one of the captains exclaimed. "Could it be that the Marines discovered our plan and advanced the execution date because of it?"

"This ruins everything! Dad's entire strategy could be thrown off!"

"Damn it! Were they planning this from the start?"

At the bow of the Moby Dick, Whitebeard stood silently, his expression grim.

Sengoku… he thought, gripping his bisento tightly.

Did Sengoku move up the plan? Or is this because of the chaos caused by that man in the North Blue?

Or perhaps, Whitebeard considered another possibility:

The World Government is preparing to intervene in the Summit War.

His sharp intuition told him that this early execution wasn't as simple as it seemed. Yet, there was no time to revise the original plan.

The Marines wouldn't give them that chance.

Whitebeard understood this all too well.

"Looks like we have no choice but to gamble," he muttered under his breath, his resolve hardening.

The Clock is Ticking

Time continued to march forward, bringing the world closer to the Summit War with every passing second.

As the date of the war approached, factions across the Grand Line moved with purpose, each pursuing their own ambitions.

They all believed they would emerge victorious.

Meanwhile, countless ordinary people prayed that the day would never come.

But fate is often cruel. The more you fear something, the faster it arrives.

A World Holds Its Breath

During this time, rumors began to spread—stories of Marine Admiral Aokiji failing to stop Kaido, one of the Four Emperors.

Yet even this paled in comparison to the true spectacle: the Summit War.

From the moment Bai Ye had killed the Celestial Dragons in the North Blue, sparking global outrage, the world had been hurtling toward this unprecedented event.

Now, as the clock ticked closer to noon, the world braced for the inevitable.

The Marines Reveal Their Hand

As the Marines prepared for Ace's execution, they made the bold decision to broadcast the entire process to the world through video projections via Den Den Mushi.

When the public saw the terrifying military formations assembling at Marineford—formations clearly intended for more than a simple execution—the truth was laid bare.

This wasn't just an execution.

This was a declaration of war.

Even before the Summit War began, it had already shaken the world to its core, sending shockwaves of fear rippling across the seas.

And so, the stage was set.

The world was poised on the edge of chaos.

The Summit War, destined to change the course of history, was about to begin.
