Chapter 426: Chapter 305: The Turbulent Summit War (Part 2)

Everyone was eager to see if Shenron could truly grant such a wish.

Yet there was worry; if Blackbeard, with his boundless ambition, really achieved such a wish, what would become of this world?

With the two most powerful fruits combined, along with immortality, Blackbeard might truly have a chance at dominating the world.

However.

Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Shenron didn’t respond to Blackbeard’s call.

At that moment.

The voice in the void spoke once again:

"This time, it’s merely a simple display of Shenron’s power. Your words are meaningless to Shenron. If you wish to make a wish, then strive to find the Dragon Balls!"

"Once this wish concludes, Shenron will return to the form of Dragon Balls and scatter across the world, waiting for people to gather them. Your ambitions and dreams, your regrets and dissatisfaction, can all be realized or changed through Shenron."

"Shenron is omnipotent."

After speaking, Su Xin quickly followed:

"Then, the second wish is..."

"The resurrection of Pirate King Roger and his son!"

As these words fell, everyone present couldn’t help but jump in surprise and widen their eyes.

"Roger? Can someone who’s been dead for so many years really be resurrected? Is it true?"

Under the gaze of all, a burly figure suddenly appeared on the scene, and when the cameras focused, the whole world saw clearly—

It was indeed Pirate King Roger.

Of course, Ace was also resurrected simultaneously on the other side, but at this moment, all the broadcast Telephone Worms were focused on Roger and Shenron, completely overlooking Ace’s direction.

Only some members of the Whitebeard Pirates noticed the standing Ace.

While Roger and Ace were feeling bewildered, the Shenron above spoke:

"Alright, the wishes have been granted. Until next time, goodbye."

After finishing, Shenron transformed back into a ball of golden light, shooting out in every direction.

People then recalled the mysterious voice in the void which previously said: "After the wish ends, Shenron will revert to seven Dragon Balls, scattering around the world, waiting for people to gather them again. Using Shenron’s power, any wish can be fulfilled, satisfying all ambitions."

Even resurrection is possible, especially considering it’s someone who died decades ago, easily brought back to life—what else can’t be done?

This proves that the words absolutely weren’t exaggerated; it truly can realize all wishes!

"Dragon Balls, here I come!"

"Charge! I’m setting sail to find Dragon Balls!"

People went berserk!

Just resurrected, Roger and Ace watched in stupefaction, completely baffled by what was happening.

Especially Roger, who looked left and right in confusion, seeing faces that were familiar yet much older, seeing this unfamiliar place, seeing the crowd’s inexplicable frenzy.

Simultaneously.

He saw the aged Whitebeard.

And on the other side, Ace.

The latter naturally saw him too.

"Kurara! I didn’t expect even you, Roger, to be resurrected. It seems like this world is indeed heading towards a major upheaval!"

"Newgate, what exactly is this resurrection about? Why was I resurrected? Who brought me back to life, and how much time has passed? You’ve aged so much!"

"These things, let’s talk about them later. For now, I must take revenge and kill my rebellious son..."

As the two conversed.

Marshal Sangokku and others gathered together, urgently whispering about what should be done.

Whitebeard not only appears to be resurrected but his body seems fully restored. Adding on a perfectly fine Pirate King Roger, if there’s another war between them, the Navy may not be confident in suppressing the pirates once more.

Each then retreated; pirates and navy gradually became distinct, each on their own side.

At that moment, yet another unexpected change occurred.

A lookout stationed diligently in his post suddenly reported loudly:

"Reporting to the Admiral, several large ships have arrived outside, it’s... the Red-haired Pirates."

Just like in the original story, members of the Red-haired Pirates stood on the bow, cloaks billowing in the wind, their figures valiantly upright.

As the distance closed, he slowly began to see the damaged Navy Headquarters and the multitude of navy and pirates.

Although he hadn’t yet clearly grasped the situation on the scene, he shouted the same line as in the original story:

"Everyone, please give me a little face; this battle... should come to an end!"

But differing from the original, this time hardly anyone paid him attention, since the events that had just occurred were too shocking.

Shenron appeared; Whitebeard resurrected, Roger resurrected, and now everyone’s focus was on Whitebeard and Roger, as well as the Dragon Balls just scattered in every direction.

Until the Red-haired Pirates got closer and closer to Marinfanto’s vicinity, sniper Yasopp was the first to notice the oddity, shouting in shock:

"Hey, hey, hey! Am I seeing this right? That figure... this is really... Captain, I suggest you take a look, see who it is."

Red Hair turned his head in astonishment:

"What’s the matter? Is someone there?"

"Someone... who can shake the world, someone who absolutely shouldn’t exist. I’m not even sure if I’m mistaken. Overall, I find it too unbelievable, so I’m cautious not to say much. It’s better if you see for yourself."

Not only Red Hair, but the others also had their curiosity piqued by his words.

Everyone picked up a telescope to take a closer look.

As everyone slowly searched on the field.

Soon, Red Hair was the first to spot that familiar figure and face, and couldn’t help but shudder all over, his eyes suddenly widened.

"Cap... Captain? Captain Roger!"

"How can this be? Hasn’t Captain Roger been dead for so many years? Why..."

"What exactly happened here?"

The others also gradually saw Roger.

Roger is arguably the most famous individual in this world, one and only, after all, Roger’s death ushered in the Grand Age of Piracy; many pirates set out to sea driven by Roger’s words.

Precisely because of this, everyone knows Roger had died more than twenty years ago and plausibly shouldn’t appear in Marinfanto.

The Red-haired group was completely amazed, yet their ship still drew closer to Marinfanto.

In the square in front of Marinfanto.

Whitebeard stepped towards the Blackbeard Pirates one step at a time, frightening Blackbeard’s crew to retreat repeatedly, not daring to confront.

Just then.

Another new change happened.

"Whoosh!!"

Suddenly, a violent sound of water was heard, and two large ships, akin to the Whitebeard Pirates’ entrance earlier, abruptly leaped from the water.

"What a lively scene, who would’ve thought we could see so many old friends at once here."

A rough voice emerged from the ship.

Many subconsciously turned to look.

"Who is that? Still daring to join the fun at such a time? Can’t they see so many strong ones present?"

"Don’t recognize him; seems like an unknown figure, and the pirate flag is of an unfamiliar design."

"Really any cats and dogs dare to get involved; which ignorant fellow is this?"

Loksi died thirty-eight years back, so pirates of this era generally don’t know him, thus seeing Loksi’s appearance, people whispered among themselves.

Even many navy officers, including lieutenants and junior admirals, hadn’t heard of Loksi’s name, let alone seen him, so Loksi’s appearance didn’t draw their attention.

But.

Some perceptive individuals suddenly realized, those top-tier forces on the field, upon seeing the speaker, all had expressions that turned grave.

Marshal Sangokku, three admirals, hero Vice-Admiral Garp, Whitebeard, Roger, all wore faces full of disbelief.

"Loksi!"

"Didn’t expect you to still be alive!"

Sangokku spoke in a serious tone.

Whitebeard also said loudly:

"Kurara! Loksi captain, to see you again after so many years is unexpected!"
