A makeshift execution platform stood on the plaza.
Ace knelt, a faint smile on his face, beside Sengoku in his white justice robe.
Below, the three Admirals—Kizaru, White Dove, and Aokiji—were seated, White Dove Ryuya prominently in the center.
Thousands of Marines, including two giant soldiers, filled the area, a display of the Marines' might.
Ace ignored them all.
He declared, "ONE PIECE is real!"
Pirates, having long searched in vain for Roger's treasure, had begun to doubt its existence.
But Ace's words reignited their hope and fervor.
Sengoku, unable to stop Ace, used a Den Den Mushi.
"Whether ONE PIECE is real or not, next year, this time, you will be dead!"
The seas buzzed with speculation: "Is the execution starting?"
"No, there's still time."
"Will they execute him early?"
"No, that would show fear."
Sengoku addressed Ace, "You cannot comprehend our hatred for this cursed bloodline! If we let you live, you'll surpass your father and become even stronger! To prevent that…"
"We will wage all-out war with the Dawn Birds, if necessary!"
Ace laughed loudly. "Ha ha ha ha!
Funny. I can't choose my birth, but I can choose my dream. Pirate King? I don't care! My dream is world peace!"
The crowd was stunned.
A Pirate King's son, dreaming of world peace?
Incredible! Even Sengoku's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Don't lie! You joined the Dawn Birds, a warmongering organization!"
"Our battles are few. We even protected Water 7 from you! The truly corrupt organization is yours!"
Suddenly, a sound echoed.
A ship, the size of an island, descended from the sky, accompanied by hundreds of Adam Wood ships—a magnificent fleet.
Sengoku was speechless.
He stared in disbelief.
He muttered, "The Dawn Birds have grown this strong in such a short time?"
He ordered, "All hands, prepare for battle!"
He then asked, "How many Shichibukai are here?"
"Sir, we have Kuma, Jinbe, Boa Hancock, Blackbeard, and Mihawk."
"Good. Let them take the lead!"
Ace, seeing the Dawn Birds' main ship approaching, felt a surge of emotion.
The leader truly cared for him, not just as a pawn.
The ship landed. Zero, the Dawn Bird leader, cloaked, hovered in the air.
"Marine Admiral Sengoku! Release Ace, and we withdraw.
Refuse, and we'll take him by force!"
Sweat beaded on Sengoku's brow.
But he wouldn't yield.
"Zero! We won't let you run rampant here! We are the Marines!"
Zero scoffed. "Just Celestial Dragon puppets."
His crew roared: "That's right, the Marines are high-class slaves!" This text is hosted at novel⦿fire.net
"The higher you climb, the more you're a slave!" "Free him!"
Unbeknownst to them, Ryuya saw them as mere pawns, their lives stepping stones to peace.
"All hands, attack!" Sengoku roared. Cannon fire rained down.
Zero countered with a wave of sword energy.
Simultaneously, White Dove Ryuya unleashed his own, the two forces clashing and canceling each other out.
"White Dove! That's White Dove's sword energy!"
"Admiral White Dove is amazing!"
Ryuya smirked. He was playing a role, manipulating perceptions.
He would become the true, uncrowned Admiral.
In an instant, White Dove Ryuya and Zero clashed!
