Chapter 172 Chaos in the Sabaody Archipelago

The whole world was boiling over this news.

The civilians who had suffered from the pirates laughed and cheered, set up salutes on the streets, built banquets, and waited for the day of execution.

In contrast, the pirates' mood was much more complicated.

Most of them had a moment of melancholy.

With the death of Ace, the era of the Pirate King was completely over, right?

Of course, some pirates were very happy.

These new pirates all had their own ambitions, and the old-time figures like the Pirate King were just a shackle for them.

When they were completely destroyed, they could move to a higher realm.

And this day.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea, no...

Except for Crocodile, who was arrested early, and Jinpei, who had just joined the "Jail Family", the only one who filled their vacancies was the new Seven Warlords of the Sea, Blackbeard Teach.

So, the Seven Warlords of the Sea today can actually only be called the Six Warlords of the Sea.

Due to the compulsory conscription of the Navy Headquarters.

In order to keep their position as the Seven Warlords of the Sea, they had to compromise.

Boa Hancock, the Queen of Nine Snakes Island, also responded to the call this time and went to the Navy Headquarters with Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel of the Navy Headquarters.

Hawkeye Joracol Mihawk rode on a lone boat, slowly moving forward with several warships.

Gekko Moriah, who was rescued by Bartholomew Kuma, arrived at Marineford early.

Doflamingo in the New World also headed towards the other side of the Red Earth Continent with the warships sent by the Navy.

Blackbeard Teach was lurking in the Sabaody Archipelago, waiting for the opportunity to enter the Impel Downs.

He needed more crew members!

However, he didn't know that all the plans were destined long ago.

His future crew members had already died in the hands of Lodi.

The more powerful Rain Shiryu was completely controlled by Lodi.

This time, he would either collect some small soldiers or return empty-handed, and maybe even be left there forever by Magellan.

A hero?

This time he can only become a bear.

…

Fishman Island will receive news one day later than the sea.

Dragon King Palace.

Neptune looked at the brand new newspaper with a complicated expression.

The content above was basically consistent with what Lodi guessed.

“Is that so? This battle seems inevitable.”

“I just don’t know how Jinbei is doing?”

To be honest, what he is most worried about now is Jinbei’s safety.

As the pillar of Fishman Island, and also a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Jinbei is the second umbrella of protection under the Four Emperors for Fishman Island.

If something happens to him.

The situation of Fishman Island will become more and more difficult.

“Where should we go in the future? Yes, where should we go?”

Just when Neptune was distracted, Shirahoshi’s voice suddenly came over.

“Father!”

He glanced slightly, but saw Shirahoshi walking in with a happy face.

In her hand was a delicate little box.

Yes, a small box.

It showed how much she valued the box.

This made Neptune laugh and cry.

"What's wrong?"

Shirahoshi showed the box in front of him, and a touching smile appeared on her innocent face.

"This is a gift from Sister Winnie and Sister Echo."

"And here..."

She pointed to Mekaro who was following behind.

"These are gifts from Lord Lodi and others."

Those gifts were things she couldn't see on Fishman Island.

And she was really happy to be able to go out for a walk.

Neptune turned his head and saw a bigger box tied to Mekaro's back.

"You went out?"

Shirahoshi still lives in the Hard Shell Tower. If there is any movement, the guards will come to report.

But the strange thing is... they didn't.

Shirahoshi was a little embarrassed and nodded slightly.

"It was Sister Aiko who took me out. It's really fun outside..."

"I really want to see the world on the sea!"

As she said this, a ripple appeared in her eyes, which was a yearning for the outside world.

"This..."

Originally, Neptune wanted to say a few words to her, but seeing Shirahoshi's appearance, he really couldn't blame her.

Alas!

He shook his head and sighed.

Maybe it's not all bad to attach Fishman Island to the Death Pirates.

At least, he has never seen Shirahoshi so happy.

...

Five days later.

There is only one day left before the top war.

In order to rush to the scene as soon as possible, the Death departed from Fishman Island in advance.

Relying on Oberton's increasingly skilled repulsion ability.

They returned to the surface of the sea very easily.

Sabaody Archipelago.

As the population gathered in large numbers, it became more and more lively.

Those new pirates who were about to go to the new world lingered here, waiting for the grand execution.

The traffickers and bounty hunters also stopped "hunting" and waited quietly.

gr1 Harbor.

The originally calm sea surface suddenly surged.

A large pirate ship nearly 100 meters above it was rising with the unknown object below.

Until it was more than 50 meters away from the sea level, a strange force swept over, and the huge ship was bounced nearly 10 meters high.

The pirates on the ship were terrified.

"Fuck, what happened?"

"The ship is... rising?"

"Oh my god, come and see, we are off the sea surface, there is something pushing us from below?"

"Is it a giant sea king? That's impossible, how could there be such a thing here!"

"The ship is about to capsize, if we don't find a way, we will all sink to the bottom of the sea together!"

The strange force caused the hull to capsize, completely presenting a parabolic curve. Once it falls, the first thing that enters the water is the deck rather than the bottom of the ship.

"Damn it, the captain and several cadres just left not long ago, what should we do!"

With these minions, there is no way at all.

Want to run?

Obviously can't do it.

Want to save the ship?

That's even more impossible and unrealistic.

Poof——

The hull entered the sea, and the waves splashed.

Accompanied by screams, the nearly 100-meter-long ship flipped into the sea, and the splashing waves were three feet high.

Seawater poured into the cabin along the open door on the ship.

In a short while, the entire ship was filled with seawater, almost merging with the seawater.

Gradually falling into the deeper sea.

Some weaker pirates were squeezed to death on the spot, and the blood was soon diluted by the vaster sea water.

Some pirates with better physique and good water ability escaped by chance, struggling hard in the sea water where the waves were higher than the waves.

People on the coast were also alarmed by this sudden change.

However, in the center of the wave storm.

A medium-sized pirate ship rose slowly as if there was no resistance.

It is not uncommon for ships to float up from the sea in the Sabaody Archipelago.

As long as the hull is coated, this can be done.

But the strange thing is that the ship has no coating at all!

I saw that around the hull, the sea water was blocked by some invisible barrier, fifty meters away from the hull.

Even the huge waves that flowed back could not swallow it.

This is simply... a miracle!

Anyone who has sailed on the Grand Line knows how strange the weather is.

Every year, countless ships are buried under the waves, tsunamis, and storms.

The capabilities of this ship in front of us are simply what all pirates dream of.
