Chapter 390: Red Hair, Whitebeard! Let's overturn it!
"It's 'Revolutionary' Dragon and all the Army Commanders, the elites of the Revolutionary Army are all here!"
"The Marines' claim is actually true—that 'Straw Hat' is really the son of the Revolutionary!"
The moment they saw the arrival of the Revolutionary Army's fleet, the emotions of the spectators across the entire sea instantly ran high.
They finally understood why the Marines and the World Government made such a grand display for this execution—this was not just an execution at all, but rather an all-out "Paramount War" against the Revolutionary Army!
But at this time...
"..."
Below the execution platform, amidst the crowd of Vice Admirals, Vice Admiral Tsuru looked up at Sengoku with a somewhat solemn expression.
"That direction is the Calm Belt..."
She looked at the direction the Revolutionary Army arrived from—that was the direction of the Calm Belt located behind the Marines.
Of course.
To the Marines, Dragon's ability was not a secret, and she also knew very well that the other party could create "fierce winds" in the Calm Belt to accomplish the crossing of the Calm Belt.
So before this execution, the Marines had also made deployments in the Calm Belt in advance, dispatching a massive number of Sea Beast Weapons and surveillance equipment within the Calm Belt.
The purpose was to ensure that at least when the Revolutionary Army came to attack, they could at least receive an early warning.
But the fact was... nothing.
"With such a massive fleet, the Sea Beast Weapons should have been able to perceive their existence... Hm!?"
And exactly while Tsuru was murmuring in her heart, she also quickly discovered something was wrong.
Because at this time, if one looked closely, they would discover—whether it was the Wind Granma or the other flagships of the Revolutionary Army, beneath their decks, one could faintly see some small blue objects.
Those seemed to be some special stones used for inlaying, and overall presented a certain special arrangement pattern.
That is...
"Processed Seastone?"
Tsuru instantly recognized what it was.
That was specially processed Seastone, the "Seastone Technology" the Marines were proud of.
Thus, the previous doubt had its answer—it was exactly because this kind of Seastone was inlaid beneath the warships of the Revolutionary Army, and intentionally arranged into a special shape.
So in the eyes of the Sea Beast Weapons, these ships would be seen as part of the "ocean waves", completely unnoticeable.
But the crucial part was...
The technology to process Seastone was extremely difficult, almost considered standard equipment for the Marines.
Especially the arrangement of the processing, even fewer people knew about it.
On the entire sea, the only ones who could accomplish these two things were... "As expected, they also..."
And exactly when Tsuru was horrified in her heart, she indeed also saw...
Rumble!
At this time, from behind the Revolutionary Army's fleet.
More ships appeared from the Calm Belt on the other side.
And at the same time...
In the frontal direction of Marineford, two fleets also violently rose from beneath the sea surface.
And unlike the Revolutionary Army, these three massive fleets, also with an astonishing number of ships, didn't fly the "R.A" flag of the Revolutionary Army.
But rather pirate flags with black skulls and crossbones.
They were all pirate ships!
The ship of the pirate fleet appearing from the Calm Belt had a beast head, with the emblem of the "Beasts Pirates" still remaining on it, but at this time it had been altered into the emblem of a spade without exception.
And at this time, on the flagship at the very front of this fleet, a young man wearing an orange hat and a white-haired woman with two horns were standing at the bow.
Standing behind them were samurai holding katana.
That was strikingly exactly...
[Wano Country - Spade Pirates Allied Fleet].
And the two fleets appearing from the frontal direction of Marineford were relatively even more famous.
Without exception, their hulls bore traces of coating.
And the two flagships among them had the appearance of a red giant dragon and a blue giant whale respectively.
"That is... that is..."
Thus, even the Marine elites who had long heard of the intensity of this war couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"It's... it's the pirate ships of the Four Emperors!"
"Hey hey, are you kidding!?"
"The fleets of two Four Emperors?"
"'Red Hair' and 'Whitebeard'? Why would they..."
Exclamations were almost endless.
And similar exclamations were not only at the scene, even the spectators watching the live broadcast at this time completely couldn't understand.
Those are Emperors of the Sea, and the only two remaining ones today.
Why would they appear here at a time like this!?
"What exactly is the identity of that 'Straw Hat'!?"
"Could it be that the 'Revolutionary' specially invited the Four Emperors to save his son?"
"I haven't heard of any friendship between the Revolutionary Army and the Four Emperors!?"
"Regardless—this lineup... something huge is going to happen!"
No one could understand this.
Even at this time...
"Oh, Mr. Newgate—I didn't expect you to come too."
On the Red Force, Shanks's peripheral vision looked with slight confusion at Whitebeard not far away: "I haven't heard of any intersection between you and Luffy."
As his words fell, the members of the Red Hair Pirates also seemed to lack any sense of tension, looking at Whitebeard with curious gazes.
"No need to test me, Red Hair brat."
And Whitebeard casually planted the Murakumogiri in his hand onto the deck at this time: "Whether it's you, or that Dragon brat, you all know very well, don't you—appearing on this battlefield is not just to save that Straw Hat brat..."
He looked at the execution platform under the shadow of Marineford in the distance, his gaze profound.
As if what he was looking at was never the execution platform itself, but the meaning that execution platform symbolized.
That wasn't just an execution platform for executing a young pirate, but the final prestige of that organization that had ruled the world for eight hundred years.
He attempted to accomplish some purpose through this execution to prolong His rule.
He attempted to plunge this world into the Abyss.
And that was exactly the reason Whitebeard came here.
"I am a remnant of the old era."
"But my foolish children still have to continue sailing in the new era."
"A world like the sea ruled by the Abyss would be too cramped for them!"
Whitebeard grinned.
And after hearing this, Shanks's expression also became serious.
"Ah... looks like you also received that letter."
Subsequently, he also grinned.
Yes.
Just like Whitebeard—or rather he was certain, even that "Revolutionary" Dragon was the same.
He was Luffy's guide, viewing Luffy as his disciple, inheritor, junior, and friend.
Dragon is Luffy's father, no need for further elaboration.
But to them, coming here was not just because of their personal relationship with Luffy.
But because not long ago, just like Whitebeard, they all received an "invitation" from The Zodiac.
And they all chose to accept that invitation and came here.
"Then let's cooperate."
Thus, Shanks also asked no more, merely calmly raising his eyes to look at the execution platform in the distance similarly.
"Together... let's overturn it!"
