Six a.m.
Six hours before Ace's execution.
The crescent-shaped harbor and the entire island were surrounded by 50 Battleships.
In the Harbor Square, a large number of Marines are gradually gathering together. The Marine from the Four Seas and the Marine from Headquarters Second Lieutenant are densely packed.
Over 10,000 people, boundless.
After 100,000, it was even harder to see.
The Marines gathered in Marin Vando are 100,000!
Some of these Marines were running back and forth, transporting ammunition and weapons. The whole square was tense.
"Tashigi, be careful. This time is different from before. If you are not careful, you will die."
In the square, Smoker chewed on his cigar and spoke to Tashigi.
Tashigi hugged the knife and nodded solemnly. "I know, Mr. Smoker!"
Smoker exhaled a mouthful of smoke and looked at the dense Marine Army and muttered, "I have never seen such a scene…"
"Instead of sighing here, why don't you think about killing a few more pirates, Smoker."
A voice sounded from the side and Tina walked over with Fimboldi and Zangor.
"Ah, Miss Tina," Tashigi said. "Long time no see."
"Long time no see, Tashigi. You're still helping your useless superior. Why don't you jump ship to me?" Tina smiled.
"Stop saying useless things, Tina."
Smoker finished and looked around. "Right, where is Kuro?"
"It doesn't seem to be here yet." Tina also looked and didn't find Kuro.
Those important people did not seem to have arrived.
Famous Vice-Admiral, Shichibukai, Three Generals, and Marshal.
After all, this place has been gathering since three in the morning. The preparation work and the transportation of weapons were all completed by these Marines.
"Coming…"
Smoker looked ahead and suddenly said.
In the crowd, a few huge creatures full of danger walked over.
The nearby Marines swallowed in unison.
The first one was Doflamingo, who was walking arrogantly with his hands in his pockets.
Behind him was Bartholomew Bear, holding a book in one hand.
The rest are Boa Hancock, Moonlight Moria, and the world's greatest swordsman, Hawkeye Jorakor Mihawk.
Shichibukai has arrived!
"Wow, it's so lively."
Doflamingo laughed strangely. "There are so many Marines, it makes me feel scared."
"Sea Pirates…"
Smoker watched from afar and said disdainfully, "Is this group of trash going to participate in the battle?"
"Don't say that, Smoker, Shichibukai was summoned by the World Government and will share some of our pressure." Tina lit a cigarette and said.
"Hey, I don't expect them to do much."
Smoker watched them walk to the front of the crescent-shaped port and said, "Are there two missing?"
Shichibukai only has five people.
"I heard that 'Sea Warrior' Jinbe refused to fight Whitebeard and was locked up in Impel Down. As for the other one, Tina doesn't know much about him, ah… Kuro."
As Tina spoke, she looked ahead and saw three people walking over.
Kuro, who was wearing a golden formal suit and a Marine cloak, walked over. He placed his left hand on the handle of Autumn Water, and the other two swords swayed with his movements.
Behind him were Leda and Crowe, who were also wearing formal clothes and cloaks.
"Mr. Kuro!"
Tashigi hugged her knife and greeted him.
"You guys are still early."
Kuro walked over and said, "Have you slept enough? If you don't sleep enough, you won't have the energy to fish later. No, you won't have the energy to fight."
"Do you think everyone is as lazy as you?"
Smoker said and then looked at Leda and Crowe. "It seems that you have been promoted."
"Yes, I'm already a major." Leda pointed to herself and giggled. "Then, Kuro is a lieutenant colonel."
"I knew it!"
Tashigi said excitedly, "A man like Mr. Kuro can't be hidden. He will definitely shine in Headquarters!"
Kuro rolled his eyes.
You should shut up.
Why are you exposing my scars? Did I offend you?
"Speaking of which, you have turned into a tri-blade stream, Kuro." Smoker looked at his waist and asked curiously.
"Decorating, decorating," Kuro said.
"Three knives? Wait, that is…"
Tashigi looked over curiously and was suddenly shocked. She quickly took out the booklet she carried with her and flipped through it, muttering, "It's right, it's absolutely right."
"Tashigi, what's wrong?" Smoker turned and asked.
"Mr. Smoker, the knife on Mr. Kuro's waist should be Autumn Water, one of the 21 workers of the Big Quick Knife, Black Blade Autumn Water. It can't be wrong."
Tashigi vowed, "That must be Autumn Water. As for the two short broad swords, they look familiar… But the scabbard is different, and it has been missing for twenty years."
She looked at Kuro and asked, "Mr. Kuro, are those two swords [Sakura Ten] and [Wooden Withered]?"
Your eyes are so sharp!
Kuro subconsciously said, "I don't know. The wind came. I don't know what kind of knife it is. I am not interested in knives."
I remember now. This guy can't do anything else, but his saber is first-class.
Tashigi was a real knife maniac.
"Sakura Ten, Kikuchi?" Smoker frowned. "What is that?"
"It's said to be the sword of the legendary great pirate, 'Golden Lion' Shiki, isn't it? That's also true, how could it be? Otherwise, Mr. Kuro would have met the Golden Lion, hahaha." Tashigi laughed dryly.
"Golden Lion…"
Tina murmured, "Tina knows this person, the only big pirate who escaped Impel Down."
"Mr. Kuro, can you show me the three knives?" Tashigi said expectantly.
"Tashigi, pay attention to the occasion. How can you have the time to look at knives now?" Smoker said.
"That's true, I lost my composure."
Tashigi adjusted her glasses and quickly apologized.
"Next time, definitely, next time." Kuro laughed.
If I show it to this knife fanatic, he will really recognize it. He doesn't want to use these two knives here. He even intends to use body techniques to get rid of them.
Thud!
Thud!
Suddenly, the square shook.
Kuro turned his head and saw a few giants walking over to the back of Shichibukai and forming a row.
"It's Vice-Admiral Giant," Tina looked at them and said.
The giants born in Elbaf have been joining the Marine since the first giant joined the Marine 60 or 70 years ago. Although there are not many of them, they are all elites.
Giants are the most blessed race in this world.
A large body represents great strength, and great strength can often solve most problems.
With the appearance of the Giant Vice-Admiral, the Vice-Admiral arrived one after another. Then, three figures appeared below the execution platform and sat on the three chairs.
In the center was Akainu Sakasugi.
To Akainu's right was 'Kizaru' Polusalino.
On the left was Aokiji.
World Government highest combat power, Marine Admiral, arrives.
