"Fleet Admiral Kong, Sengoku, Vice Admiral Garp have arrived."
"Damn Shiki, daring to invade our Marine Headquarters! He'll never leave alive this time!"
Seeing the three appear, the panicked Marines calmed down.
Shiki was indeed terrifyingly strong.
But Kong, Sengoku, and Garp were also monsters at the peak of world power!
With these three powerhouses personally intervening, Shiki was insignificant in their eyes!
"Shiki?"
Sengoku raised an eyebrow and looked at Shiki with some surprise.
He had initially thought that several great pirates from the New World had joined forces to invade Marine Headquarters.
But he hadn't expected the opponent to be only Shiki.
Although Shiki was strong and a legendary pirate renowned throughout the New World.
But... if the opponent was only him, Sengoku didn't take him too seriously.
After all, he and Garp had trained for countless years at Mary Geoise.
Their strength had even slightly surpassed the Gorosei!
Let alone all three of them going, Sengoku alone believed he could easily take down Shiki.
Shiki exhaled a puff of smoke and looked disdainfully at the few behind him.
"How could the Marines possibly capture Roger! He's the man I acknowledge!"
Sengoku, wearing a black suit.
Slowly walked to the front of the numerous Marines and said coldly to Shiki.
"Whether you believe it or not, the Pirate King Roger will be publicly executed in a few days."
"If you want to kill him, let me do it myself instead of you scoundrels! Bring Roger to me!" Shiki roared.
Although Shiki and Roger didn't get along well, and they had had quite a few disputes.
But... Shiki respected Roger.
He couldn't accept Roger being captured by the Marines, and he couldn't accept him being executed by them even more!
In his opinion, a man like Roger should be killed by him, a pirate, personally.
Not publicly executed by the Marines!
"The execution will be held in a few days, in his birthplace, Loguetown in the East Blue. If you're interested, we welcome you to come and watch."
"However... I'm afraid you won't have the chance to watch, because today, you will be staying here with us," Sengoku said slowly.
Shiki dared to invade their Marine Headquarters alone.
Naturally, they had no intention of letting Shiki go.
After all, eliminating the great pirate Golden Lion Shiki.
Would greatly alleviate the pressure on the Marines as they advanced into the New World to contend with all the great pirates there!
"Roger's death will surely break the spirit of all pirates. At the same time, after Roger's death, we Marines will advance into the New World," Garp said, walking slowly to Sengoku's side and staring at Shiki.
It had been a long time since the Marines had interfered in the wars of the New World.
And it had also been a long time since they had arrested any pirates from the New World.
They intended to use this execution of Roger to declare to the entire world the strong return of the Marines.
"The legend of the Pirate King Roger will end in the weakest ocean, the East Blue, in the myriad worlds? What a joke! That's a disgrace to that guy! You damned Marines!"
Although Shiki found Roger highly disagreeable, Roger represented the King of Pirates!
Insulting the Pirate King was equivalent to insulting him as a pirate.
This enraged Shiki to the extreme.
Even facing the three top-tier powerhouses, the word "escape" did not cross Shiki's mind at this moment.
Instead, he chose to fight.
Even though he knew he would be defeated in this battle.
He still chose to fight!
"Shiki, we intended to publicly execute the Pirate King Roger, but... since you've come, stay here. You'll have a part in the execution in Loguetown, East Blue, in a few days!"
Kong's expression was grim, his eyes blazing with killing intent as he stared at Shiki.
The reason they intended to publicly execute Roger was precisely to deter the pirates of the entire world.
And to pave the way for their strong advance into the New World.
Now, Shiki's invasion of Marine Headquarters had given Kong the opportunity to arrest him as well.
Then, they could publicly execute two top pirates of the New World in Loguetown, East Blue.
This action would undoubtedly deter the great pirates of the New World.
"You want to execute me? Then try it."
Shiki roared, then took to the air.
Holding his two blades, enveloped in thick Armament and Conqueror's Haki, he charged directly at the three of them.
"Invading Marine Headquarters will be the most foolish decision you've ever made, Shiki."
Sengoku took off the justice cape draped behind him and adjusted his tie, saying.
"Other than fighting the Gorosei, it's been a long time since I've fought against these pirates. This time, I can have a good fight."
Garp cracked his knuckles, a smile playing on his lips.
"Quickly take down this guy Shiki. We can't let him cause too much damage to Marine Headquarters!" Kong reminded them.
They would certainly be able to capture Shiki, but this battle would inevitably cause some damage to Marine Headquarters.
Therefore, they had to capture him with minimal losses in the shortest possible time!
"All of us, attack!!!"
Kong gave the order, and the three were instantly ready for battle, charging towards Shiki.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the sky.
"Bolo Breath!!!"
As this voice fell.
A terrifying shockwave of flames suddenly erupted from the sky, charging towards Kong, Sengoku, and Garp.
The three quickly dodged, moving away from Shiki, and turned their gaze to the sky.
There, amidst the dark clouds and flashing lightning, a giant dragon head appeared.
"Th-That's Kaido!"
"The captain of the Beasts Pirates from the New World, Kaido the Hundred Beasts, with a bounty of 4 billion Berries!"
"Damn it, I knew it! How could only Shiki be invading our Marine Headquarters? So Kaido is also here!"
"These two have announced their alliance in the New World long ago. It's no wonder he's here!"
"But there's no need to panic. There are only two of them, and we have Fleet Admiral Kong, Admiral Sengoku, and Vice Admiral Garp. Even with Kaido's help, we are sure to win!"
Although Kaido's appearance surprised some of the Marine soldiers.
They were not overly panicked.
In terms of the number of strong individuals, the Marines had more.
Why should they fear the combined might of Shiki and Kaido?
"Kaido?"
Sengoku looked at the figure in the sky with a calm expression.
"Truly arrogant fellows, completely disregarding the Marines," Kong snorted coldly.
It seemed the Marines had not participated in New World battles for too long.
This had led the great pirates of the New World to not take them seriously.
To dare to attack their Marine Headquarters with just two great pirates!
"Another one has arrived? It seems like we'll have another person to add to the public execution in Loguetown in a few days," Garp said with a slight smile, looking somewhat excited.
Kaido's appearance did not surprise Garp.
On the contrary, he was somewhat excited!
Kaido and Shiki were both renowned great pirates in the New World.
If they could capture both of them today, and then a week later in Loguetown.
Simultaneously execute Roger, Kaido, and Shiki.
There was no doubt that the Marines' prestige worldwide would reach its peak.
At such a critical juncture, advancing into the New World.
It would surely instill fear in the great pirates of the New World!
Shiki, standing in mid-air, looked at Kaido in the sky with surprise and laughed heartily.
