While Su Xin was comprehending the Soul Law.

A rather shocking news spread across the world—Portgas D. Ace, the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, was going to be executed at the Navy Headquarters. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Rumor has it that the entire Whitebeard Pirates are mobilized.

Luffy is also rushing desperately to try to save him.

Countless people are also anticipating this execution and the inevitable world-shaking battle.

Just like in the original story, Luffy infiltrates Impel Down Prison, went through a series of fierce battles, but ended up missing Ace. He could only escape the prison with Jinbei and his crew, commandeering a ship at full speed towards the Navy Headquarters.

And at this moment, the Navy Headquarters at Marinfanto.

A hundred thousand elite marines gathered from around the world, packed densely in the square before the execution platform, both to display power to the world and to prevent attacks from the Whitebeard Pirates and other unpredictable pirate gangs.

From the crescent-shaped cape to the entire island, a full 50 warships surround the headquarters.

The coast is also lined with countless heavy cannons, their barrels reflecting a cold glint in the sunlight, imposing an immense sense of oppression.

Looking inward from the harbor, five distinct silhouettes stand proudly — these five are among the royal Shichibukai.

Basil Kuma, Moonlight Moria, Donquixote Doflamingo, Jorakuer Mihok, Boa Hancock, each a renowned figure in the Pirate World, not an exaggeration to say they are powerful rulers in their domains.

The live broadcast scene slowly sweeps across these scenarios, and countless people watching through television feel a tremendous unspeakable pressure.

Then, the camera focuses in the direction of the execution platform.

Three tall figures step out slowly.

Not only the audience, but even the hundred thousand marines below held their breath at this moment, their gazes drawn to those three figures.

These three are the highest combat power of the Navy: Aokiji Kuzan, Akainu Sakaski, Kizaru Helsalino.

The three admirals, all assembled!

To prevent Ace from being rescued, all the high-end forces that the Navy could summon at this stage had been gathered here, awaiting the arrival of one of the New World Four Emperors, the Whitebeard Pirates.

Seeing these sights, countless people have confidence in the Navy, not even fearing the renowned Whitebeard Pirates.

"With such a mighty scale, the Whitebeard Pirates wouldn’t dare come here, would they?"

"What if they do come? I hope they do, perfect opportunity to capture the Whitebeard Pirates in one sweep with the Navy’s assembled power! Eliminate these notorious villains!"

"Navy! Justice is invincible!"

"Defeat Whitebeard! Execute Ace!"

Many viewers in front of their televisions started cheering excitedly.

Meanwhile, the main character of the whole incident, Ace was being escorted by two soldiers through a long dark corridor, headed towards the execution platform.

When the gate opened.

The sunlight poured in from outside.

Ace squinted his eyes involuntarily.

When his eyes fully adapted to the light, he looked down and clearly saw everything on the square—

A dense crowd of moving heads, the excessively large number greatly intensified the pressure in his heart.

Also, there were the Shichibukai, three admirals, Admiral Sangokku, elite vice admirals, and... the marine hero Vice Admiral Garp.

Ace wasn’t worried about himself.

He knew that he was doomed to die, but he knew that the Whitebeard Pirates wouldn’t just watch him get executed, they would definitely come to save him.

In that case, everyone would be in danger.

And his foolish brother Luffy...

"Everyone... don’t come!"

Ace silently prayed in his heart.

At the same time, his appearance was also transmitted by the Telephone Worm to every soldier present, and further transmitted to countless people around the world.

"That’s the man who could potentially be the catalyst for a world-shaking battle..."

"The man who currently holds the fate of the world... Fire Fist Ace!"

As people started to whisper, Ace was escorted step by step onto the execution platform, kneeling before countless people.

At this time.

Admiral Sangokku walked to the execution platform, stood next to Ace, and had a soldier bring a Telephone Worm, and loudly spoke to the crowd:

"Everyone, I am Admiral Sangokku, and before the execution, I want to say a few words."

"Portgas D. Ace, regarding the significant meaning of this man’s burial here today."

As he spoke, he paused and turned his gaze to Ace, who was kneeling beside him, and said:

"Ace, say your father’s name."

As many viewers wondered why such a question was asked at this moment, Ace loudly replied:

"My father is Whitebeard!"

"No!"

"Yes, it is Whitebeard!"

Seeing him refuse to tell the truth, Sangokku began to recount the past:

"At that time, we spared no effort, searching everywhere. There might be an island with that man’s child, relying solely on our intelligence and speculation, looking for newborns, soon-to-be-born children, and attempting to find their mothers, but to no avail... which is understandable."

"Your birth was the result of your mother giving her life. Your mother, relying on her life-risking persistence, deceived us."

"In the South Seas, on a small island named Butterilla, your mother, a woman named Portgas D. Rouge, used a willpower beyond human knowledge to keep her child protected in her womb for 20 months."

"As a result, while giving birth to you, she lost her life on the spot."
