Not good…
The situation is about to spiral out of control!
The Revolutionary Army and Blackbeard Pirates have taken over Impel Down, while the Red Hair Pirates are attacking Enies Lobby. All the islands near the current of justice are in distress!
However…
It's too late to send reinforcements to Impel Down.
A large number of escaped pirates are heading in the direction of Enies Lobby!
Sengoku doesn't have the time to think any longer, he orders the Navy at Marineford, which has long been prepared, to set out immediately and support Aokiji at Enies Lobby to prevent its fall!
"Open the Gate of Justice."
Sengoku waves his hand, commanding the navy to open Marineford's Gate of Justice.
Rumble!
The towering Gate of Justice slowly opens.
As long as the navy passes through the Gate of Justice into the circular current, they can quickly reach Enies Lobby and provide support, no matter how dire the situation gets!
However…
A radio snail rings in Sengoku's hand.
Admiral Akainu, stationed at the New World's G1 Branch, reports a piece of information: "The G1 Branch in the New World received intelligence delivered by a monitoring ship; three Moby Dick ships from the Whitebeard Pirates have disappeared without a trace…"
"Sakazuki!"
"I need to go support Enies Lobby now, I don't have time to deal with Whitebeard…"
Sengoku harshly reprimanded Akainu, and just as he was about to hang up the radio snail, he saw three enormous whale-like ships emerging behind the open Gate of Justice…
The Moby Dick.
The flagship of the Whitebeard Pirates.
These gigantic whale-shaped ships are used solely by the Whitebeard Pirates. Everywhere in the New World Sea Region and across the world, they are ships that incite fear!
But…
The Moby Dick appeared behind the Gate of Justice!
Even Sengoku was somewhat stunned, watching the three Moby Dick ships poised in front of the Gate of Justice, ready to block the navy's entry into the circular current!
"Gurararara…"
Edward Newgate, Whitebeard, sitting on the deck, laughed loudly towards the Marineford navy: "Sengoku, you just stay here!"
"Newgate…"
Sengoku's gaze suddenly darkened!
This guy…
The purpose of appearing here…
Was it to prevent the navy's reinforcements from supporting Enies Lobby?
Sengoku never thought he'd see the day when pirates would brazenly appear outside Marineford's Gate of Justice, blocking the navy's shipping lane!
This guy…
was going to participate in this war after all!
This is a situation that Sengoku did not anticipate; he doesn't have any specific plan to manage this, especially under such tense circumstances without a normal solution!
The Whitebeard Pirates…
The last surviving Four Emperors' Pirates.
Although many believed the Whitebeard Pirates to no longer live up to their name and should relinquish their position, nobody would ignore their terrifying presence!
Even Sengoku the Buddha, this Navy Admiral, would need a long time to think and formulate detailed strategies before daring to confront Whitebeard head-on…
However…
Whitebeard came so unexpectedly!
Perhaps this guy has been here all along, waiting to stop the navy's reinforcements!
Whitebeard abruptly tore away his IV tube, and reached for the Supreme Great Blade Murakumogiri next to him, walking step by step from the deck to the bow…
The strongest man in the world, with every step he takes, Murakumogiri in his hand resonates with a resounding, chilling sound…
Thud…
Thud…
Thud…
Whitebeard stood at the ship's bow, continuing to greet the navy admiral inside Marineford: "Hey, Sengoku, it's been quite a while since we've last seen each other, hasn't it?"
"Your purpose for appearing here…"
Sengoku squinted, asking knowingly.
"Of course, it's to stop you…"
Whitebeard grinned broadly and laughed heartily: "Gurararara…Sengoku, we're both remnants of the old era, no need to meddle in those kids' affairs, let's just stay here and wait for the battle over there to end!"
This matter…
Is obviously because his son, Fire Fist Ace, is also rushing to Enies Lobby!
Whitebeard isn't foolish, he understands what this war means to the World Government, he knows how difficult Ace's intention to rescue his sworn little pirate friend will be, and he's aware of the dire consequences should the battle turn unfavorable…
Therefore…
Whitebeard led his forces here in advance.
If the navy's powerful forces insist on crossing the Gate of Justice to support Enies Lobby, he has to stop them here, lest his son gets ensnared at Enies Lobby!
"Admiral…"
A Vice Admiral looked at Sengoku beside him, quietly asked him, his voice trembling slightly: "Do we start a battle with the Whitebeard Pirates here?"
After all…
He's the strongest man in the world!
Even though the Konoha Pirates emerged as a new force, they couldn't eclipse his glory, at least before the emergence of their war, Whitebeard's name carried the power to make children cry!
"All forces await my command…"
Sengoku had no choice but to issue an order to await action.
This Navy Admiral's face was full of humiliation, watching the towering figure atop the Moby Dick, his heart ignited with rage, driving him to clench his fists tightly!
There would never be a more humiliating moment than today!
Not even the previous attack on Marineford by Golden Lion Shiki could make Sengoku feel such humiliation and embarrassment, especially under today's circumstances!
