Chapter 236 - Back to Impel Down

Whitebeard decided to cooperate with Blaize and Madara. With Blaize's assurance, he's relieved and confident he can rescue Ace and retreat without losing many people on his side.

"It's better that you don't reveal our cooperation to the third person. Not even to your sons! If the Marines know about my involvement, it will become tricky." Madara said the facts.

If they find his participation, the Marines' lineup won't be just Admirals, Garp and Sengoku. The World Government will partake and send their best men.

"Good! Happy Cooperation!" Whitebeard laughed, satisfied with the development. "I want to see what he changes after becoming a Fleet Admiral."

Whitebeard wasn't afraid of being deceived as he knew Blaize's personality well. As someone who fought him to near death, he trusts his judgment.

After discussing the details of their cooperation, Madara left.

"Oyaji, what did he come here for?" Marco asked.

"He came to warm me about Teach and Marines!" Whitebeard lied. 

"Teach? Oyaji, I have a bad feeling about all of this." Marco expressed his thoughts.

Whitebeard too has the same worry but he didn't show it on his face. Since the Marines decided to execute Ace publicly, it means they know about Roger.

And, Teach who planned all this can't be underestimated. He's extremely ambitious. What is his purpose? Whitebeard couldn't figure it out.

"Gulalala...don't worry. I am Whitebeard! With me here, no one can do anything to our family!" Whitebeard exclaimed loudly. "We will rescue Ace from the Marines!"

"Yeah!" The Whitebeard pirates roared in confidence.

"Marco, make the preparations and call everyone!" Whitebeard instructed.

--

The next day,

"What? Fire Fist Ace is captured and going to be executed publicly in a week?"

"Are the Marines crazy, they plan to fight that monster Whitebeard?"

The bombshell spread around every corner of the globe. It spread like wildfire! And, it's a big one that shook the world.

Everyone knew what this means — WAR!

The news added more chaos to the already burning world. The young pirates who were extremely ambitious surged into the New World eyeing Whitebeard's territory.

In the meantime, the Marines didn't care about the small-time pirates. They called most of their powers to Marineford, leaving a few to defend the Marine base all over the world.

As days passed, the entire world was in high tension. All eyes upon Marine headquarters! A slight mistake may destroy everything.

--

With two days left for the execution,

Atop the Red Line, Sengoku was having a meeting with the Five Elders inside the Room of Authority. As always, the room was ancient, noble, and imposing. It accentuated power.

"After a discussion, we have decided not to let Blaize participate in the War against the Whitebeard pirates. Make sure he's not in Marineford during the execution!" Saint Saturn said, hunched over his walking cane.

"What? Without Blaize, it will be tough to win the war. There may be countless casualties." Sengoku stated.

"Yes, but we don't care about the casualties only the result. You can use Vegapunk's creation for support." Saint Peter said

"Whitebeard is old. According to our intelligence, he's sick with his Haki on the verge of fading away. The Admirals are more than enough to bring him down." Saint Mars said, with his hands folded behind his back.

"Yes. I will make sufficient preparations and try to minimize our loss." Sengoku said, preparing to leave.

"You have to win this war, Sengoku. The entire world's going to watch it. There can't be any mistake." Saint Warcury said.

"Yes," Sengoku said and left. 

"Just in case, let Kong be on standby. That Blaize is extremely dangerous, we can't trust him." Saint Nusjoro decided, leaning on his great sword.

"Correct!" The others agreed.

--

With a day left on the countdown for Ace's execution, the entire Marineford was on high alert.

After publicizing Ace's execution in the Newspaper, the three Admirals— The World Government's 'Greatest Military Powers' —stayed in Headquarters.

Nearly 100,000 elite Marine troops gathered in Headquarters while fifty Marine ships were stationed around the island, with cannons lining the coastline.

The Warlords of the Sea, Kuma, Moria, Doflamingo, Mihawk, and Blackbeard arrived at the Marine headquarters while Jinbe and Hancock didn't accept the summon.

As for Hancock, though she rejected the summon, the Marines didn't use any force. Would they dare? After all, Blaize is behind her.

--

For some crappy reason that Whitebeard may attack Impel Down, Sengoku ordered Blaize to visit Impel Down and safeguard it for a day.

Regarding Sengoku's order, Blaize didn't raise any kind of objection. He left Marineford with a smile on his face.

"Damn! It's definitely on purpose. The World Government is shady, but I didn't expect even Sengoku-san would support it." Regis asked, "Blaize-san, why did you accept it without a word?"

"It doesn't matter since everything's under our control," Blaize replied calmly, gazing at the disappearing Marineford.

"Still..." Regis didn't speak as Blaize waved his hand for him to be silent.

They reached the Impel Down in a few hours sailing through the Gate of Justice. This time, they're welcomed by Vice Warden Hannyabal and Head Jailer Domino.

"Sengoku-san told me that you would stay here for two days. I can only arrange a nice small room for you. Once I become Warden it will be different." 

The separate room arranged by Hannyabal is good so Blaize was satisfied. As for Regis, Kuina, and others on his unit, they can only stay on the ship.

"Did something happen before my arrival?" Blaize asked.

"Yes, Vice Admiral Blaize. Yesterday, two people, Luffy and Jinbe, invaded the Impel Down. They caused quite a ruckus, but Chief Warden Magellan took action personally and captured them.

Jinbe was locked on the sixth floor while Straw Hat Luffy was detained in Level 5 - Freezing Hell." Head Jailer Domino explained.

"Oh! How did they invade Impel Down?" Blaize asked. It seems like Luffy got into Impel Down like in the original work.

"They came in through an opening where Blue Gorillas go and hunt Sea Kings for good. But, we couldn't understand how they managed to bypass the Sea Kings of Calm Belt!"

"Interesting idea." Blaize chuckled. With Jinbe's help and Rayleigh's planning it's achievable.

In the end, everything's heading in the same direction. Fate is truly mysterious and wonderful.

"Don't disturb me for unnecessary things. Only inform me if anything fatal happens!" Blaize ordered.

"Yes, Vice Admiral Blaize." Head Jailer Domino took her leave.
