Everyone's reaction! 2

"Shanks..." 

One of the Four Emperors, Red Hair, Shanks looked at the newspaper with a complicated gaze as he looked at the picture of Shinra in the newspaper. 

The time for the prophecy hadn't arrived, and the balance shouldn't have been broken, or at least, everything should have started when the one whom he had entrusted to come! 

"What do you want to do, Shanks?" 

"...I don't know."

"Should we..." 

The meaning of his members was clear, and that was to clean up everything, as they knew well that their captain was waiting for a certain someone. 

Shanks didn't say anything, as he thought for a while before he said, "If there is a chance, let's go, but he is too elusive." 

After Shinra fought Kaidou, he didn't stay in the Dressrosa Kingdom and directly left for Punk Hazard as he thought of using this place as his base, especially when it still had a complete research facility, which he could use. 

Yet, no one knew that, and on this sea, with a ship that could only rely on the wind to move, how could they try to discover him? 

Still, without a doubt, Shanks reminded everyone that as long as they saw the sign of Shinra, they should inform him, so that he could meet Shinra. 

As for what Shanks would do after he met him? 

Shanks would remind Shinra that no one should mess around with the prophecy since this world was waiting for someone, and before that, this world should remain as it was! 

On the other hand, Charlotte Linlin stared at the news with doubt for a while before she asked, "Get me the Den Den Mushi." If it were Shanks or Whitebeard, she wouldn't care even if they died, but Kaidou was different; after all, she had taken care of him when he was young. 

It might not be wrong to say that Kaidou was her little brother, or she saw him as his son? 

Regardless, if their relationship wasn't close, it was impossible for Charlotte Linlin and Kaidou to make an alliance in the original story. 

"Pops, look at the newspaper!" 

At the same time, the Whitebeard Pirates also reacted violently, never expecting that Kaidou would be defeated. A man, whose standing was about the same as that of their father, lost to a young man?! 

Are you kidding me?!

Edward Newgate frowned, never expecting something like this to happen, and then laughed, "Gurarararara!" 

"Huh? Pops?" 

"What are you nervous about? Who do you think I am? I am Whitebeard!" 

Who was he? 

Even if Kaidou matched his status, it was merely a title bestowed by the World Government. In Newgate's eyes, Kaidou was nothing but a snotty brat! 

In front of his might, even if this young man tried to attack him, it was meaningless! 

Crimson Prince? 

When Newgate sailed on the sea and fought, Shinra hadn't even been born! 

"More importantly, have you seen Ace? Where is he?" 

Instead of Shinra, Newgate was more cornered about Ace, his son. 

Yes, he might have a lot of sons in his pirate group, but like any parent, he also had his favorite son, and all of his love was given to Ace. 

As for the others? 

Gurararara! 

Even if they died, it didn't really matter. 

Only, Teach felt that everything became complicated, and he wondered whether he would die just like this without getting the Devil Fruit that he sought the most. 

Meanwhile, at the Marines' Headquarters, they were discussing something else. 

"The CP0 had caught the Fire Fist, Ace!" 

While it was great that Ace, one of the most notorious pirates under Whitebeard, had been caught, they felt conflicted when it was the CP0 who had caught him. 

After all, even if they worked under the World Government, the Marines and the CP0 were two different organizations, and instead of an amiable relationship, their relationship was that of a competition. 

When the CP0 caught Ace, it made them conflicted, as it showed that they were incompetent. 

Yet, without a doubt, they all felt relief when Ace was caught, except for one person.

"Garp." Tsuru glanced at her friend, who had fought with her from a young age. 

"I am calm, Tsuru..." Still, the gloomy atmosphere on Garp D. Monkey couldn't be hidden as his relationship with Ace, this young pirate, was a special one, and knowing Ace was caught, how could he maintain his calm attitude? Even more, he also understood what kind of attitude his dearest friends wished to adopt when they had caught Ace, especially when CP0 had gained the limelight after Ace was caught. 

So, when Garp looked at Sengoku, the Buddha, who was also the Fleet Admiral of the Marines, planned to use Ace for a certain goal, he could only sigh since he knew well why his friend did this. 

"I have gathered all of you here for a certain purpose." 

Sengoku stared at all the high-level positions of the Marines with a solemn expression, causing all of them to tense. "After the death of Gold Roger, the pirates had been rampant and brought ruin to this world. While it is currently impossible to stop all of that, I will do my best to reduce this effect by using the Fire Fist, Ace." 

"...what do you plan to do, Fleet Admiral?" 

"We will publicly execute him."

"..."

Everyone was at a loss, but it wasn't because they were surprised by Sengoku's decision. Instead, they were confused, wondering why they had to publicly execute Ace since this guy was nothing special, right? 

"Is there something special about this young man, Fleet Admiral?" Kizaru, or Borsalino, asked curiously.

"Yes, you are right, Borsalino." Sengoku nodded and said, "Besides, known as the 2nd Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, Ace is also the child of the Gold Roger." 

"....." Everyone. 

"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTT?!" 

"Is that true, Fleet Admiral?!" 

"But if that's true..." 

"Then..." 

All of them knew that the Age of Pirates was caused by Gold Roger, and because of that, many families died. If someone was at fault for causing all of this, without a doubt, it was this man, who was famous for being known as the King of Pirates. 

As the son of this King of Pirates, then—

"We will kill him," a man with a crimson suit nodded with a determined expression. 

"You are too reckless, Akainu." A man with a lazy gaze glanced at one of the admirals of the Marines, Akainu. 

"You are the one who is too soft, Kuzan." Akainu frowned at the man, who tried to chide him. 

"You are the one who is too brutal. Many will die!" 

"So what? Everything is for justice! For the order! It is time to end this Age of Pirates!" 

So many people had died in the hands of pirates, and while Luffy might have created a good image of pirates, he was more like an adventurer than a pirate, but the real pirates were more brutal, savage, and even evil. 

Yes, this world might be shitty, as everyone lives in a dire state due to many problems in the world, but even so, the pirates' problem has caused the lives of everyone to worsen! 

As the two argued, Borsalino, also known as Kizaru, the last admiral, didn't join and just trimmed his nails carefully. 

"Stop fighting, you two!" 

Bang! 

Sengoku slammed the table, causing the two to stop, then said, "I have made up my mind to publicly execute Ace. What we need to do is to prepare, since there is a chance for the Whitebeard Pirates to come to save him. We have to prepare for war." 

"Yes, Sir!" 

In other words, it was a chance to erase one of the Four Emperors, Whitebeard Pirates, and because of that, all of them swore to give their everything! 

"Also, there is another thing." 

Yet, this time, Sengoku's expression was happy, which made them confused. "Have you heard of the Crimson Prince?" 

"Crimson Prince?" 

"Was it that young man who defeated Kaidou on the Dressrosa Kingdom, Fleet Admiral?" One among the group, a beautiful, mature woman with a spider tattoo and a cute mole under her lip, said. 

"Yes, that one." Sengoku nodded. 

"So, what's wrong with him, Fleet Admiral?" Kizaru asked curiously since he had met Shinra before, and of course, he was dumbfounded when he learned that Shinra could defeat the Beast, Kaidou, but of course, he was happy as he knew well that Shinra was a good young man. 

"The Crimson Prince has decided to join the Marines." 

Sengoku showed his confident smile and said, "With him in our army, we will win this war with ease!" 

"OOOOOOOOOOOHHHH!!!" 

Yet, while everyone nodded in excitement, Kuzan's lips twitched as he frowned. 

'What are you planning?'

As Kuzan was in doubt, in another place, a group of people had just arrived at the first line of the Grand Line. 

"GRAND LINE, WE'RE COMING!" 

Only as they came, they were greeted by a gigantic whale! 

"UWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
