In a distant part of the world where access is difficult even with high-level maritime routes of the global shipping company, Wano's residents also enjoyed the Summit War Saga.
Oden sighed sadly as he reminisced about Oars' memories with Ace.
"So Ace had come to Wano in the past, my dear..."
"That's clear; the conical hats are only expertly crafted by Wano's residents."
"Speaking of which, creating such conical hats to fit Oars' huge head is a difficult task. Ace's success in that regard is commendable. He's better than Luffy in this aspect, hahaha!"
Oden's playful expression turned sad at this moment as he saw how Oars fell defeated at the hands of Doflamingo and Moria.
"The war, really... I don't want to see my brother's crew lose in this war... They're a wonderful crew; they don't deserve that."
"Neither do I..." Whity Bey calmed the crying baby in her arms, Momonosuke, before responding with a heavy voice.
Before becoming a wife and a mother, she was once a pirate and the daughter of Whitebeard, and of course, Whitebeard's Pirates meant a lot to her.
As they immersed themselves in the fast-paced events, their eyes widened suddenly when they saw a familiar figure amidst the war.
"Eeeh!?"
"Whity-sama!!!"
The nine Akazaya's eyes widened as they saw their mistress in the midst of the war, a part of the allied fleets of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Their reaction towards her seemed more than when they saw Izou fighting fiercely in the war.
…

Chapter's Events:
—————————
"Don't let them cut off the route Oars opened!!! Forge into the bay!!!"
The Whitebeard allies seemed more enthusiastic in this war as they hurried to climb the massive body of Oars to cross to the other bay.
"An Ice-breaker!!?"
Marines stood in awe as they saw an armored ship breaking its way through the ice, destroying the wall of the bay and smoothly crossing to the other bay.
On the armored ship stood a beautiful woman with blue hair and a pirate hat.
"It's the Ice Witch, Whitey Bey!!!"
The Marines quickly recognized her, as she was a famous pirate in the New World affiliated with Whitebeard.
"This ice is nothing to me!" she said mockingly.
It was clarified that the bay was now accessible from both separated sides, in addition to Oars previously; now, Whity Bey took charge of the second shore of the bay.
"They're pushing us back hard, Fleet Admiral Sengoku!"
"No matter."
Sengoku responded to the soldier's report with indifference, clearly hiding something up his sleeve. He quickly used his Den Den Mushi to contact Tsuru.
"Tsuru-san, it's time to begin the operation…"
"Excellent timing…"
Tsuru responded nonchalantly, not interested on the pirates behind her that she had turned into laundry.
…
From afar, Whitebeard noticed the Marines using their Den Den Mushi to exchange orders, a smile appearing on his face.
"Gurarararara… You've got something up your sleeves, eh…!!?"
"Great General… Sengoku the Buddha…!!!" he said.
•———•———•———•———•
"This... my dear, you look very beautiful in the manga, just as you are now!"
Oden was momentarily stunned. "Isn't the timeline for manga events at least 20 years later? Why do you look so young? You're supposed to be old."
Even Whity Bey herself seemed speechless. "Ice Witch? A fitting title indeed, hehehe~"
"I wonder how Oyaji will react. Even after so many years, as a former pirate, I'm still loyal to Whitebeard, it seems."
Whity Bey didn't care much about how she looked or how she would look after two decades; she always took care of herself and her health for this outcome anyway.
She was more interested in the reason that led her to leave the main ship Moby Dick in the manga and establish her own crew, affiliated with Whitebeard only.
"If you followed Oden in this manga too... What happened to Oden? Why aren't you by my side?"
"Let's not delve into predicting events and exciting hypotheses until we finish reading the volume. After that, thousands of people will come to give their theories as they always do every month."
"Hahaha, thousands of theories, and zero correct ones... It's all meaningless because predicting events in One Piece manga is difficult."
Oden, his wife, and their guards enthusiastically immersed themselves back into the manga.
In this art store in Kuri, the Shogun group was the most eye-catching, especially Whity Bey, who, apart from not wearing pirate clothes, was almost identical to her manga counterpart.
The Shogun's wife was the star of the show.
Her ice crusher that broke through the wall towards Marineford Bay and opened an additional path made many readers' eyes sparkle with admiration.
"Ice Witch~ I look forward to seeing you fight, my dear..." Oden said with a smile.
…
Back in the Whitebeard territory, in Sphinx, most of the affiliated crews had already arrived.
After presenting gifts to the Sphinx residents, they hurried into the art store to participate in the most important assembly ever.
The atmosphere was no different from when they gathered to participate in the war in the manga... Only this time, they gathered to read the manga that embodied their participation in the war!
It seemed strange, but that's indeed what was happening at the moment.
"Gurararara... Whity-chan is here too, my little daughter looks even younger than she already is..."
Whitebeard laughed happily when he saw another familiar face among the affiliated crews, most of whom were unfamiliar people who joined later, not before.
"Hmm? What is this cunning fox Sengoku planning?"
Suddenly, the sudden movement of the Marines caught White Beard's attention, furrowing his eyebrows in annoyance.
His expression softened when he saw Garp returning to the platform where Ace and Sengoku were.
"Garp... It seems like the person suffering the most in this war is you..."
Hearing that, Marco and the others nodded in agreement.
At that moment, Garp evoked pity. All he could do was sit next to Ace and count down the remaining time...
When the crucial moment arrives, whether he moves to do something or not, no one knows.
"Anyway, I have no confidence in an old man devoid of freedom. He's like a lion stripped of its fangs and claws. What's the difference between him and a feeble cat? All he can do is silently moan."
"Tsk, how shameful. That's why I chose to become a pirate rather than a dog of justice under the World Government. I'll achieve my justice through my strength."
"So if I, the old man in the manga, failed to achieve my final justice that my heart wished for, then I, the younger Whitebeard, will achieve it for the old man—Boom!"
At that moment, the sky and earth trembled under the might of Whitebeard.
What he said was clear and didn't need any repetition to understand and comprehend.
