Chapter 424: Chapter 304: The Battle at the Summit Erupts (Part 2)

"One year and three months after your father’s death, a child inheriting the most evil bloodline in the world was born, and that child is you..."

"You can’t possibly not know."

"Your father is..."

"Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King!"

The moment those words were spoken, the entire place fell silent.

Countless viewers in front of their TVs were also dumbstruck, staring in a daze at Ace’s silhouette.

"He is... the Pirate King’s bloodline?!"

"That utterly evil man actually has a child!"

"The Pirate King’s son must be extremely violent!"

"No wonder Fire Fist is so powerful; he must have inherited it from his father, the Pirate King."

"Do you think... he might know the whereabouts of ONEPIECE?"

"However, no matter what, Fire Fist is going to die today, and the Pirate King’s bloodline will completely disappear from this world."

People were first terrified, then they cheered.

The entire world was shaken.

At that moment, a soldier suddenly reported:

"Report to the Marshal, the Gate of Justice has been opened without receiving any orders, and the engine room has completely lost contact."

"What?!"

Sangokku’s expression changed dramatically.

Meanwhile, outside the Gate of Justice, Luffy and his group had already arrived, discussing how to break through the gate, when they suddenly saw the gate slowly opening.

At the same time.

On the lookout tower at Marinfanto.

Someone was using a telescope to observe the surroundings and through a thick fog, could vaguely see the shadows of large ships, and as they got closer, the Pirate Flag gradually came into view.

"They’re here! They’ve arrived!"

"It’s the Whitebeard Pirates!"

Sangokku immediately ordered:

"Everyone, be alert!"

"Additionally, Whitebeard must be nearby, quickly find out where Whitebeard is?"

The pirate ships gradually approached from afar.

The scene slowly quieted down.

At this moment, the powerful figures including Sangokku twitched their ears, hearing suspicious sounds coming from below the sea, and they instantly realized.

"Turns out, Whitebeard’s ships are all advancing underwater after coating!"

Just as they thought this.

"Splash!"

With the sound of surging seawater.

Three large ships consecutively leapt out of the water.

Celebrated as the strongest man in the New World, one of the Four Emperors, Whitebeard, amidst countless gazes, made his entrance.

Beside him were First Division Captain Marco, Third Division Captain Diamond Jozu, and fourteen other captains under the Whitebeard Pirates, all renowned figures in the New World.

"Just wait a little longer for me, Ace."

"I’m coming to rescue you!"

After saying so, Whitebeard’s body slightly squatted, fists clenched tightly, and after a brief moment of charging, he suddenly struck the air on both sides.

In the next moment, the air shattered like glass, displaying countless irregular cracks.

Many who had never witnessed Whitebeard’s abilities were completely stunned by this sight, not knowing what had happened for a moment.

But soon, they witnessed a shocking scene—

Only to see the sea frantically stirring, as if something was wildly churning it, in the blink of an eye a massive wave over a hundred meters high surged from all directions towards Navy Headquarters, seemingly intent on completely submerging it.

The waves nearly blotted out the sky and sun, bringing an overwhelming sense of oppression to all the navy soldiers, prompting many to instinctively cry out.

Faced with this world-destroying celestial might, ordinary people found it hard to muster any fighting spirit, needing tremendous willpower just to stand their ground.

Fortunately, the navy wasn’t to be underestimated either.

Seated on the execution platform, one of the three admirals—Aokiji Kuzan—leaped from the high platform, facing the overwhelming waves, he unleashed his iconic move—

"Ice Age!"

His hands directed towards the waves on both sides, shooting out streams of cold ice that fell onto the waves, the immense cold carried by the ice quickly spreading in all directions.

The turbulent waves instantly transformed into ice at a speed visible to the naked eye, frozen in place just like that.

And as this encounter between the two unfolded.

The great war... was on the brink!

At this moment, Su Xin had already preliminary mastered the Soul Law, having arrived at the scene before the battle erupted, sitting high in the void.

Watching the epic battle unfold below, just like in the original work, he savored it with relish.

Besides appreciating it, he planned to make some changes.

Loksi, Enel, Shiki—he was planning a grand entrance for these three, having specifically assigned tasks to them.

Of the three, Loksi was chosen by him to be the ultimate villain of this world, so the task was simple but the reward was the most lavish.

"Ding! The Su God has released a mission, proceed to Navy Headquarters, kill as many navy officers as possible, every rear admiral killed will reward 1 point in strength and physique, every vice admiral killed will reward 3 points in strength and physique, every admiral or marshal killed will reward 10 points in strength and physique."

During the previous period, Su Xin had also issued training tasks to Loksi, which significantly enhanced Loksi’s attributes.

Especially his strength and physique, which had reached 118 and 129 respectively, surpassing Big Mom by thirty points, even higher than any strong figure Su Xin had encountered in the Pirate World.

This level of power should be able to crush everything.

Moreover, in the course of battle, taking out a few officers could further increase his strength.

Perhaps, without interference from Enel and Shiki, he could single-handedly turn the tide, sweeping everything.

Enel and Shiki’s tasks were:

"Ding! The Su God releases a mission, proceed to Navy Headquarters for battle, make a name for yourselves in one battle!"

"Reward: 10 points in strength and physique."

At this moment, Loksi and the other two had arrived just like Su Xin, hidden in different directions, waiting for Su Xin’s signal to make their entrance.

Additionally, Hawkeye and Big Mom did not receive any tasks from Su Xin.

The situation below progressed like the original story.

The three admirals joined the battle sequentially, Luffy and his group also entered the fray, followed by the appearance of the Peacekeepers, sweeping away the weaker pirates.

The navy gradually gained the upper hand.

After a difficult struggle, Luffy managed to rescue Ace from the execution platform, but was pursued by Akainu, nearly killed, before Ace blocked the attack for him, dying in his place.

"No!!"

Luffy yelled in grief and rage, collapsing in despair.

"Akainu!!"

Whitebeard was furious, unleashing a full-force attack on Akainu, temporarily rendering Akainu defenseless, soon inflicting severe injury.

However.

That’s when Blackbeard appeared.

After provoking Whitebeard and successfully angering him, they engaged in yet another intense battle.

Whitebeard, already old, his body tormented by illness for a long time, combined with the previous ambush by his son resulting in injury, and having endured the previous battle with Akainu, now facing Blackbeard, who countered Devil Fruit abilities, he quickly ran out of strength and fell into a disadvantage, under the siege of the Blackbeard Pirates, perishing just like in the original.

This scene stunned countless people.

But what struck even greater fear was Blackbeard somehow acquiring Whitebeard’s Shock Fruit ability, becoming the unprecedented dual-fruit ability user.

Moreover, both of his fruits were hailed as the strongest Devil Fruit powers.

One being the Dark Fruit power, known as the nemesis of all Devil Fruits.

The other being the Shock Fruit, said to possess the strongest destructive force in the world. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

With both powers combined, just how terrifying was Blackbeard now?

Many were deeply shaken.

What shocked everyone further were Whitebeard’s last words before his death—

ONEPIECE, truly exists!

Marshal Sangokku was furious and shocked.

He knew these words would inevitably drive more people to recklessly venture into the sea, bringing more chaos and slaughter.

"Damn it! Whitebeard, even in death, won’t let us have peace!"

Sangokku couldn’t help but grit his teeth.

However, the only consolation was that despite the twists and turns, their objectives were fully achieved.

The Pirate King’s son Ace was executed.

The world’s strongest man, Whitebeard, was killed.

Following this, the Whitebeard Pirates would inevitably fracture, posing no further threats.

This battle was about to conclude.
