The Country of Peace.
In a spacious room, Maples is sitting on a recliner, holding a newspaper in his hand. The newspaper is today's latest news.
The content of the news is – Whitebeard Pirates Second Division Captain Fire Fist Ace will be publicly executed in Marine Headquarters in a week!
"It seems that the future of this era is still inevitably heading towards this war."
Maples sighed.
Since returning to the Country of Peace five years ago, he has not intervened in the direction of the world. He doesn't know if it is the interference of some kind of power or if the future of evolution should be in this direction. Blackbeard finally got the Dark-Dark Fruit.
"Whitebeard, that guy, it seems that he didn't take my reminder to heart … No, maybe it's been too long, so I've already forgotten."
Maples shook his head.
He had already intervened and guided the future in different directions, but Whitebeard didn't remember his reminder, so it still happened that Blackbeard killed the Fourth Division Captain Thatch and snatched the Dark-Dark Fruit and escaped, so he won't interfere a second time.
After all, after making an intervention, it didn't have the desired effect. If he interfered a second time, it would be more or less a loss of face.
"Marine Headquarters and Shichibukai … This is not something that the Whitebeard Pirates can fight against."
Robin sat not far away, picked up a teacup and took a sip of tea gracefully.
In the eyes of the average person, the Whitebeard Pirates against the Marine Headquarters, who will win and who will lose is not certain, but for her, who is also a 'Yonkō (Four Emperors)' force, it is clear that the Whitebeard Pirates will not be the opponent of the Marine Headquarters.
Not to mention that the Fourth Division Captain was killed and Fire Fist Ace was captured … Even in his peak state, it is still impossible to win against Shichibukai and Marine Headquarters.
The only hope of winning is to successfully rescue Fire Fist Ace and then withdraw.
"Well, he can't win."
Feng Ye put the newspaper aside and stood up. He walked to the window and gazed into the distance with a deep gaze.
Standing here, you can see that in the distance, there is a strange, vine-like towering tree, standing at the end of the clouds.
It's the God Tree.
After so many years of growth, the height of the God Tree has far exceeded the height of thousands of hands, reaching thousands of meters, and the top goes straight into the clouds.
The Tree of God had become one of the most solemn and sacred symbols of the Kingdom of Harmony.
"It will take a few more years for it to mature."
Maples murmured as he gazed at the towering divine tree.
Robin walked over and came behind Maples. She gently hugged Maples from behind and leaned on him so that Maples could clearly feel her softness.
"Sir, do you intend to interfere?"
"No."
Maples shook his head and looked at the sky. "But I've told Whitebeard before that if there's a chance, I'll let him see what's beyond the end. So I should send him off."
Robin's eyes flickered slightly. "Will White Beard die?"
Maples nodded and said, "I can't see his future."
…
Ten days later.
Sabaody Archipelago.
A large number of people gathered here. Some of them were reporters from various newspapers. Most of them were family members of the Marine Officers living in the Marine Headquarters. In addition, there were residents living in the Sabaody Archipelago.
Everyone looked nervously at the front. There were several huge screens placed there. On the screens were the scenes of the Marine Headquarters.
Far away from this screen.
On a raised and inconspicuous slope, two people were sitting face to face. One of them was wearing a white cloak and his hair was all white. Although he was old, he was very energetic. It was the Deputy Captain of Roger Pirates, Pluto Hilbazrelli.
The person sitting opposite Rayleigh was holding a plain bottle in his hand. He looked calm and indifferent as if he always had a smile on his face.
"Are you going to do … What are you going to do in this war?"
Rayleigh looked at Maples and asked after taking a sip of wine.
Maples glanced at the screen in the distance. His eyes glowed with a light blue luster. He said softly, "I'm here … to send Whitebeard off."
"Is Whitebeard going to die here?"
Rayleigh whispered and looked at the bottle in his hand. A look of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.
Maples didn't answer but continued to look at the screen in the distance and said:
"It's starting."
On the huge screen, they saw Whitebeard using the ability of Seaquake to set off the prelude to the attack. Then Aokiji made his move to freeze the sea and stop the tsunami.
This looks very similar to some of the pictures in Maples' memory. The only difference is the position of the three Admirals below the execution platform. The person sitting in the center is Aokiji, and the one sitting on the far right is Momousagi.
In addition, the place of the battle is not Marineford, but the original G-1 branch base in the New World, now the New Marine Headquarters.
Raleigh also stopped recalling the past and looked at the image on the screen.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
With the start of the general attack of the Whitebeard Pirates, the Marine Headquarters also fell into a chaotic battle. The roaring sound continued to come. Even across the screen, the atmosphere on the battlefield can be felt. Even pirates with a bounty of hundreds of millions may die at any time on such a battlefield.
"The war has begun …"
Some newspaper reporters standing in front of the screen, holding a notebook in their hands, were trembling at this moment and murmuring.
Whitebeard, who was once one of the three legends with Roger and Shiki, and who has occupied the title of the strongest man in the world for many years, is fighting against the Marine Headquarters that controls the order of the sea!
This is different from Maples' invasion of the Marine Headquarters and the attack on the Holy Land.
In order to deter the pirates and achieve the effect of spreading the power of the Marine, this war is broadcast to the world using the image of Den Den Mushi!
Not only the Sabaody Archipelago, but almost all the other islands are broadcasting the pictures here. Even on Cake Island in the New World, BIGMOM, Katakuri, and others are also watching the images received from the Marine Headquarters through the projection of Den Den Mushi!
The whole world is watching this war!
Aokiji's move, Kizaru's move, Hawkeye's move … Every strong person standing at the top of the sea can attract the attention of countless people.
But looking at this, Maples didn't have any fluctuations in his heart, because in his view, the battle of Aokiji and the others is not much different from the battle of the Vice-Admirals.
"Guina has grown to this level."
Feng Ye's gaze landed on one of the screens. He looked at a person's figure and sighed in his heart.
The War of the Best is still different from the normal historical process.
Guina, who is now the Headquarters Rear Admiral, seems to be stronger than Momonga. She seems to have reached the peak of the Sword Master level and can resist the attack of Vista for a short time.
At this point in time, Zoro was only one of the supernovas in One Piece. There was still a huge gap between him and Guina. Although Guina was a few years older than Zoro and had more experience in battles and training, it was undeniable that Guina's talent in swordsmanship was outstanding.
