"The leader of the Whitebeard Pirates' Second Division - 'Fire Fist' Ace will be publicly executed in Marineford."
As soon as the news came out, the whole world was shocked.
Although today's world cannot be called peaceful, the forces of all parties maintain a reluctant balance.
Marine - Four Emperors - Shichibukai check and balance each other.
The Revolutionary Army and the CP organizations are constantly chasing and evading each other.
Everyone is still following certain agreed-upon rules of the game and slowly advancing towards their goals.
But when Marineford announced the news to the world, everyone realized:
No matter who wins or loses in this war, the world structure will change!
"Our place is here—"
Dylan pointed inside the square, below the execution platform.
"I specifically explained the location of the Vice Admirals of the Headquarters to Fleet Admiral Sengoku, and I will arrange your combat strategy alone."
"Remember, unless you have special instructions from me, you are not allowed to attack the bay privately. Everything is focused on defense."
"Ain, Bell-mère, Law. Your mission is to fight with the Vice Admirals against the captains of the 'New World' and the captains of the 'Whitebeard Pirates'."
"Tahir, Tom, Shiryu. Pay attention to my orders at all times. For special tasks, be sure to kill with one hit!"
"As for Leo, Kabu, Wicca, and Bian. After the war starts, you stay with me first. I will assign tasks to you at any time!"
"Yes!"
Everyone answered solemnly.
Including Wicca, who originally liked to cry.
"G5-07 Combat Force," also known as the "Swift Scouts" team.
At this time, Wicca no longer looked so soft and weak, and the four combatants of the Tontatta tribe were completely different from those eight years ago.
Leo even had a scar on his face.
In the endless battles and killings, they used great perseverance to reverse the original innocent character of the little humans.
No longer will they easily believe other people's lies just because they say: "It's true!"
They won't shed tears over trivial things.
Dylan forged exclusive weapons for each of them using G5's finest super alloy.
Leo's two long needles, Kabu's double spears, Bian's spears, and Wika's gloves.
"Leo..."
Dylan looked at "Commander" Leo seriously.
"Although I don't know what the specific 'agreement' between the Tontatta tribe and 'history' is, I have a rough guess. Although you were under my command before, you were not known to the world. After this time... have you made a decision?"
"Yes!"
Leo said in a deep voice, "Before coming here, I went back to Greenbit, Dylando! Maybe we can't represent all the dwarves, but..."
"This is the fate we Tonttata tribe chose ourselves!!"
"Good..."
Dylan stood up and glanced over them one by one.
"For the 'destiny' we have chosen... let's fight!!!"
·······
Greenbit.
Gancho and the Great Elder sat in front of the "huge stone."
"Have you decided yet, Gancho?"
Gancho, the leader and king of the Tontatta tribe, looked up at the stone they had guarded for hundreds of years.
"Aleph, I believe that 'Nika' will return to this world, and I also believe that his will can never be broken, but..."
Gancho leaned on a cane: "From that man, I saw our mistakes for hundreds of years!"
The Great Elder Aleph remained silent.
Gancho's crutches paused heavily on the ground: "If we always pin our hopes on the 'legend', what are we wasting our time for!?"
"To wait for others to save us? Why can't we rise up and resist on our own!? Even if we fail, our blood and our will shall not be cut off! Generation after generation, someone will always succeed!"
"Eight hundred years!!"
"Why can't we appear in the world openly? We are also upright people! Why do we have to live with the nickname 'fairy'!?"
Aleph's expression remained unchanged, but his figure became more stooped.
"This is the fate of the entire Tontatta clan. Of course, this is not a choice I made alone."
Gancho turned around and stared at the Great Elder Aleph: "This is the choice of all young people. This is their right!"
·······
Calm Belt - Amazon Lily.
Vice Admiral Yamakaji stood on the bow of the ship and looked at Boa Hancock.
"Before you came, Dylan asked me to bring you a message."
Boa Hancock stiffened when she heard the name, that bastard...
"He asked me to tell you that you don't have to accept the conscription. That's your business, and you will bear the consequences yourself. But if you accept the conscription and act recklessly on the battlefield..."
Vice Admiral Yamakaji paused: "Every time you attack Marine, he will take 100 heads in Amazon Lily!"
After speaking, Vice Admiral Yamakaji waved his hand, and the warship turned around and left.
"Asshole!!!"
Boa Hancock looked at the warships going away and was filled with anger.
There is absolutely no way that the devil's threat was just lip service.
Not to mention the bastard himself, just the monsters in his base...
They could wipe out Amazon Lily from top to bottom.
"Luffy... my love..."
······
Dressrosa.
"Doffy, are you going to accept the call? Marine isn't qualified to strip you of your Shichibukai status. The World Government can't force you to bend, so why bother..."
"Fufufufu... Trebol, Marine and the World Government may not act against me, but that guy is different."
Doflamingo gave a strange laugh: "Don't say anything, unless we abandon Dressrosa and run to the depths of the sea. And..."
"Why are you not going!?"
Looking at the dark clouds in the sky, Doflamingo raised his arms excitedly.
"That is the central point that will change the times! It would be a pity not to witness it, Torebol."
"Over there at G5..."
Doflamingo lowered his arms and turned his head: "No... the winner of this war... will undoubtedly be Marine. Don't do anything stupid, Trebol!"
·······
As war approaches, the world is gripped by tension and anticipation.
The people and the kingdoms hope that Marine will win, as they say - to defeat the pirates' arrogance.
The pirates hope that the Whitebeard Pirates will win, so Marine's prestige and strength will be greatly reduced.
Some other organizations are sitting back and waiting for the outcome, as if whoever wins or loses is fine.
"Who will be the winner?"
"From the perspective of the war itself, Marine must be the victor. But..."
"It may not necessarily be Marine who ends up profiting."
Balmond gently pushed the chess piece in his hand: "This war is not fully prepared, on both sides. So... I think from the profit point of view, it is a lose-lose outcome."
The young woman sitting opposite Balmond smiled softly.
"So who benefits? The World Government? The Revolutionary Army? Other pirates? Or...us?"
Balmond put down the second chess piece: "It's hard to say for the other parties, but I think they are also not fully prepared for this. Only we... under the guidance of 'Sir', we have been preparing for this 'great change' for more than ten years."
The woman didn't seem to care about the chess game in front of her, but raised her head and looked at the sea in the distance.
"Yeah...it's been more than ten years..."
After more than ten years of hard work and reform, this kingdom finally looks like what it is today.
Although they are still controlled by the World Government, they have already built this place into the strongest fortress.
"Be prepared, be vigilant, be ready to listen to His instructions, and be ready for the coming of 'peace'."
"Yes Your Majesty!"
"No..."
The woman shook her head:
"When there is no one around, you should call me...the legion commander!"
