Beehive Island.
Known as the pirates' paradise.
This was once the territory of the Sea Overlord Rocks.
After the Rocks Pirates fell apart, it had been occupied by the great pirate Wang Zhi.
But ever since Reno responded to the World Government's declaration of war a month ago.
Hachinosu Island was completely pushed into the eye of the storm.
All of a sudden, it became the center of the storm for the entire sea.
The great pirate Wang Zhi immediately cursed loudly.
Damn it.
Reno's war with the World Government.
Not on Reno's territory, not in Mary Geoise, not at Naval Headquarters, why come to his Hachinosu Island?
Why should he suffer this unwarranted disaster??
Wang Zhi was on the verge of tears.
Don't let the thousands of pirates here fool you; in front of those two behemoths, they were nothing but trash.
But complaints were complaints.
Wang Zhi, keenly aware of the seriousness of the situation, immediately dispatched men to monitor movements in the outer sea.
It was a post every five meters, a sentry every ten meters.
Five days ago.
The fleets of the Marine and the World Government sailed majestically into Beehive Island.
Upon receiving the news, Wang Zhi immediately evacuated his men before their arrival.
Only a few ignorant hotheads remained, defiantly holding their ground.
As expected,
a few more bodies were added to Beehive Island.
After eliminating those troublesome individuals, the Marine and World Government personnel immediately began their deployment.
In just a few days, Beehive Island was transformed into a true den of dragons and tigers.
What surprised Wang Zhi was that,
following the Marine and the World Government,
four more groups of people successively arrived at Beehive Island.
The first group.
Morgans, the president of the World News Press, and his small film crew.
He was forced to come by the Marine.
This time, the World Government was determined to kill Reynold.
They wanted to record this historic moment to warn the petty scoundrels of the sea.
If even someone as strong as Reynold could die at their hands, others should just continue to cower.
With a blade at his throat, Morgans dared not refuse.
Of course, this was also his original plan.
However, he was more inclined to believe Reynold would be the ultimate victor.
He still remembered Reynold's words.
Today, he would get the most explosive news in history.
The second group.
The Red Hair Pirates.
Shanks, who was just a little kid in Wang Zhi's eyes back then, had now become someone he could only look up to.
This couldn't help but make him feel a wave of melancholy.
The third group.
This was where Wang Zhi's surprise truly began.
The arrivals were none other than the Revolutionary Army!
Although there was only one ship and only a handful of people,
every single one of them was a renowned figure on the sea.
Revolutionary Army Leader Dragon.
Chief of Staff Sabo.
Commander of the 'East Army' Betty.
There were even three Division Commanders from the Whitebeard Pirates.
First Division Commander Marco the Phoenix.
Third Division Commander Diamond Jozu.
Fifth Division Commander Flower Sword Vista.
Did he think it was over like this?
Before Wang Zhi could fully process it,
the fourth group arrived.
And it was an existence that completely dropped Wang Zhi's jaw.
Why say that?
Because Wang Zhi didn't recognize the other party at all.
It was ultimately one of his subordinates who recognized their identity.
Blackbeard Teach.
A former member of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Betrayed his comrades... captured Ace... became one of the Shichibukai... then disappeared without a trace.
Watching those peculiar beings brazenly sail their pirate ship into Beehive Island,
Wang Zhi was completely bewildered.
No!
Even he only dared to observe from afar in the outer sea of Beehive Island with a telescope. How could Blackbeard do this?
Was the other party truly foolish, or did he have absolute confidence in his own strength?
How dared he interfere in such a war?
Wang Zhi naturally leaned towards the former.
At this point,
besides the protagonist Reynold and Morgans,
Beehive Island had gathered four factions.
www.53dushu.com
The Marine and the World Government.
The Red Hair Pirates.
The Revolutionary Army.
The Blackbeard Pirates.
Good heavens, what a gathering!
"Boss, it's almost noon. Is Reynold coming or not? Could he be scared??"
In the outer sea, there were hundreds of pirate ships.
Although Wang Zhi and his men dared not intervene in a war of this level, they still had the courage to watch from afar.
Even if the Marine and the World Government wanted to shift targets, they could retreat immediately.
"How would I know??"
Wang Zhi, clad in golden armor and sporting a very long beard, spat unhappily.
He was already annoyed by the usurpation of his territory.
Now, enduring the scorching sun, a surge of anger welled up in his chest.
"Just wait."
He waved his hand, then picked up a chilled watermelon nearby and began to eat it.
His subordinates, helpless, could only wait patiently.
Zooming in.
Beehive Island.
Its main body was a giant skull-shaped building.
At this moment,
the entire island was enveloped in a murderous atmosphere.
On site.
The silence was terrifying.
The four factions were spread out, occupying their respective positions.
The Marine and the World Government held the most advantageous positions.
Compared to the previous Marineford War, the number of people gathered here was significantly smaller.
There wasn't even a single ordinary Marine Soldier to be found.
However, the lineup deployed by the Marine and the World Government this time was simply incomparable to the Marineford War.
Suddenly, a salty sea breeze blew through,
breaking the suffocating atmosphere.
"Zehahahahaha, what a lively crowd, everyone!!"
"Only Reynold has the ability to gather all of us here, wouldn't you agree??"
On the east side of the island.
Blackbeard looked at the other three factions and burst into defiant laughter, looking up at the sky.
As he swept his gaze over the Revolutionary Army, the corners of his mouth stretched into an even more triumphant grin.
"Marco, you guys actually joined the Revolutionary Army! If the old man knew, he'd be heartbroken!!"
"Zehahahahaha!"
"Shut up, Teach!!"
When enemies met, their eyes turned red with fury.
Marco, Jozu, and Vista's eyes were bloodshot, and red veins quickly appeared in their pupils.
If asked who they hated the most, it was undoubtedly Blackbeard before them.
Because he was the instigator of everything.
"I'll kill you!!"
Jozu roared, repeating his old trick.
Just like in the Marineford War, he activated his Paramecia-type Sparkle-Sparkle Fruit, embedding his hands into the ground and prying up a colossal boulder.
"Die!!"
Under everyone's gaze, the giant boulder sliced through the air, flying towards the Blackbeard Pirates.
The World Government and the Red Hair Pirates watched this scene with indifference, their faces devoid of any emotional fluctuation.
A massive dark shadow approached, and Blackbeard snorted lightly, a look of disdain on his face.
"Burgess!"
He waved his hand casually.
"Wehahahahaha, understood!!!"
Burgess pushed off with his feet, leaping into the air.
"Break for me!!!"
He threw a punch, unleashing the power of the Strength-Strength Fruit!
Crack
Boom!!!
The giant rock, imbued with the power of a meteorite, exploded with a deafening roar, shattering into countless fragments that fell to the ground.
"Hmm???"
This scene finally made everyone stir.
They watched Burgess with subtle expressions.
Blackbeard was already obscure enough.
Who would have thought his crew member would possess such strength?
That punch just now offered a glimpse.
Burgess's strength was at least on par with an elite Marine Vice Admiral.
Most importantly, the other members of the Blackbeard Pirates showed no fear when the giant rock attacked.
These guys...
"Zehahahahaha, Jozu, did you see that??"
"In my eyes, you're nothing but a fart now!!"
Blackbeard let out a triumphant cackle.
"You're asking for death!!"
Jozu roared and made to charge forward.
"Jozu, Reno isn't here yet, don't be impulsive."
Dragon reached out and stopped him.
"Jozu."
Marco tugged at his sleeve and shook his head.
Jozu sighed in frustration, reluctantly giving up.
"Dragon, I didn't expect you to come too."
In the Marine formation.
Saint Mjosgard spoke expressionlessly.
Once upon a time.
The Revolutionary Army was the World Government's number one enemy.
They wished they could eliminate them quickly.
But these guys were like rats in dark corners.
They only dared to act in the shadows, not daring to expose themselves to the sunlight.
Unexpectedly, today, the top two figures of the Revolutionary Army had all come out.
Extreme killing intent flashed in Saint Mjosgard's eyes.
If he didn't have to face Reno, he would eliminate the two of them right now.
Dragon and Sabo were the pillars of the Revolutionary Army.
If they died, the other members of the Revolutionary Army would be nothing to fear.
"Saint Mjosgard, you'd best not act rashly."
Dragon glanced at him indifferently, his voice neither warm nor cold.
Since he dared to come, he naturally had confidence.
"Once Reno is dead, it will be your doomsday!!"
Saint Mjosgard glared at Dragon with murderous eyes, then angrily shifted his gaze.
Throughout the entire conversation between the three factions.
The Red Hair Pirates remained silent.
Shanks, usually jovial, seemed like a different person at this moment.
Silent, serious... At Beehive Island's safe location.
At the World Government's request, Morgans had already set up several transponder snails, ready to record the upcoming battle.
There were also dozens of accompanying reporters, ready to film in real-time.
Morgans scanned the four factions and couldn't help but swallow.
Lord Reno, do you really have the confidence to defeat them??
All these people are here for you.
Originally, he thought there would only be the Marine and the World Government.
What was going on with the other three factions??
At this moment, Morgans was truly shaken.
His gaze occasionally darted towards the location of the Marine and the World Government.
The most powerful individuals were gathered there.
At the very front.
Were elite Naval Headquarters Vice Admirals.
Yamakaji, Momonga, Doberman, Stroberry, Jonathan, Stainless, Smoker, Maynard, and others stood gallantly, their cloaks of justice fluttering in the wind.
In addition to these well-known Marine Vice Admirals.
Several unfamiliar figures had also appeared this time.
A short old woman with many wrinkles on her face, wearing sunglasses and earrings.
Vice Admiral Bluegrass.
A Paramecia-type Rider-Rider Fruit Ability user.
In short, she could ride anyone.
A tall, bald man with a large mouth and a long neck.
He wore a pinstriped suit, and his right arm was a steam-powered mechanical arm.
Most strikingly, this person had six chins.
Vice Admiral Red King.
One person was burly, with a round beard and huge hands.
Vice Admiral Tsucha!
One person was tall, with a monstrous face.
He had sharp teeth and pointed fangs in his mouth, and long, flowing hair behind him.
Vice Admiral Urban.
A Paramecia-type Cannon-Cannon Fruit Ability user.
He could transform any part of his body into a cannon.
A well-built man with wavy light-colored hair, a mustache, a scar on his left cheek, and a cleft chin.
Vice Admiral Pansky.
A Zoan-type Otter-Otter Fruit, Sea Otter Form Ability user!
He could transform into a sea otter at will.
One person had reddish-brown fluffy hair, dark sunglasses, and a distinct facial contour.
Vice Admiral Hound.
A Zoan-type Dog-Dog Fruit, Hound Form Ability user.
He could transform into a hound at will.
The last person.
This person had black hair, wore sunglasses, and had a crescent-shaped blade on top of his head.
Vice Admiral Guillotine!
More than twenty Marine Vice Admirals exuded surging, formidable aura.
After them.
Were the six Shichibukai, forcibly conscripted by the Marine.
Since Doflamingo was killed, there were only six.
Buggy the Clown.
Surgeon of Death, Trafalgar Law!
Treasure Hunter, Mad Treagar.
"Knight of the Sea" Jinbe.
Whitebeard Jr.
World's Strongest Swordsman Mihawk.
The expressions of the six varied: solemn, expectant, panicked, gleeful, or conflicted.
After them.
Was the bait for this occasion.
On the left.
Was a beautiful young woman with long hair, headphones, wearing a tight-fitting crop top and camouflage-patterned pants.
She also held a sniper rifle.
This person was Akainu's daughter, Hibari.
In the middle position.
This person had long black hair, delicate features, and a beautiful face.
She wore a pink tight-fitting dress and a white Marine cloak with golden epaulets.
Admiral candidate, Momousagi.
On the right.
Was a well-proportioned young woman.
She had long strawberry blonde hair, green eyes, and prominent lips.
She wore a strapless pink dress with red polka dots, a Marine coat draped over her shoulders, and a pink hat on her head.
Marine Staff Vice Admiral Tsuru's granddaughter, Kujaku.
A Paramecia-type Whip-Whip Fruit Ability user.
She could command anything she whipped, including buildings.
The three women's faces were exceptionally grim.
They were either from prominent families or held high positions.
Yet, they were used as pawns by the World Government.
How could the three not be angry!!
Of course, they weren't the only ones angry.
So were the people behind them.
Marine Admiral Sakazuki.
Marine Admiral Aokiji Kuzan.
Marine Admiral Fujitora Issho.
Marine Admiral candidate Tokikake.
Akainu and Tokikake's (Nono's good) expressions were no different from the three girls'.
One was his daughter, the other his beloved woman.
The World Government's actions clearly showed they held no regard for them.
In a fit of rage, the two of them showed slight anger.
They dared not defy the orders of the Five Elders.
Therefore, today, Reno must be killed!
Finally,
There were Fleet Admiral Kong and the commander of the God's Knights, Figarland Saint Mjosgard!
Beside Saint Mjosgard, there were three other people.
To be precise, they were three seraphim.
S-Hawk, who strongly resembled Swordmaster Mihawk, a Paramecia-type Dice-Dice Fruit Ability user!
S-Snake, who strongly resembled Hancock, a Paramecia-type Mero Mero no Mi (Love-Love Fruit) user!
S-Shark, who strongly resembled Jinbe, a Paramecia-type Mizu Mizu no Mi (Water-Water Fruit) user!
They all had black wings, with flames burning on their backs.
This was the full lineup of the Marine and the World Government for this occasion.
On this side,
Just among the top powerhouses, there were Akainu, Aokiji, Fujitora, Kong, Saint Mjosgard, and Mihawk—six people.
Besides them, Shanks and Dragon were also here for Reno.
Combining the three factions, the number of top powerhouses reached ten.
Therefore,
No matter how they looked at it,
They had no possibility of losing.
If Reno dared to come, he would surely die.
"Oh dear, Reno, please don't come!!!"
Where the Seven Warlords of the Sea were located.
Buggy clasped his hands together, praying softly.
He was forced into this situation.
Even now, he clearly remembered the scene of Reno's massacre in Impel Down.
"Hahahahaha... I've long heard of Reno's great name; this time is a good chance to clash with him!"
Mad Treagar swung his rusty iron chains, his face full of anticipation.
Mihawk shifted his gaze from S-Hawk, glancing at him with disdain.
Where did this idiot come from?
To be honest, if not for the World Government's threat, he wouldn't want to participate in this war.
Forget it.
Just like the Marineford War, he would find a place to slack off later.
"Mother, I want my Mother."
Whitebeard Jr., fat and ugly, sniffled with two large snot streams, looking left and right.
