Chapter 389: Revolutionary Army, Full Force Sortie!
Sengoku's words fell.
At this moment, across the entire sea, as long as they were commoners watching this public execution from the sidelines, they also collectively let out exclamations.
"The son of 'Revolutionary' Dragon?"
"That straw hat is... the Pirate King's hat!?"
"Wait a minute, doesn't that mean—this hat is the 'crown' of the Pirate King?"
In all fairness.
Just as Sengoku said, after hearing about the specific situation of the "Public Execution".
The people of the entire sea actually more or less couldn't understand—it's just a small pirate who hasn't been out at sea for long, why make such a grand display?
But now they understood.
If this pirate actually had such an identity, then this public execution naturally had a special meaning.
"The meaning of this execution is to 'inform the world'."
While speaking, Sengoku also raised his hand high, pointing to the massive and vast military formation in front of him.
"In the name of 'Justice', sin will ultimately be cut off from the sea, even the descendants of the 'Pirate King' and the 'Revolutionary' are no exception."
And while Sengoku was speaking.
Everyone could also see that behind him, another figure walked onto the execution platform.
In her hand, she held a pitch-black execution blade—clearly, she was the "executioner" of today's public execution.
But exactly the instant she appeared.
Roy, who had been watching Sengoku's performance with a calm expression below the execution platform, abruptly raised an eyebrow.
A rare surprise showed in his eyes.
Because others didn't know, but he recognized that figure at a glance right now.
"Gloriosa..."
Yes.
The person appearing on the execution platform at this time was none other than "Minami Mamiya Gloriosa", whom he had faced directly in God's Valley thirty years ago, acting as the carrier for Imu's descent.
And Roy naturally didn't expect that she would actually be the one serving as Luffy's executioner.
And what surprised him even more wasn't just this.
What surprised him the most was the weapon Gloriosa was holding in her hand at this time.
That was a polearm.
But unlike an ordinary execution blade, the blade of this weapon presented a curved shape like lightning, with bandages wrapped around the handle, presenting an extremely ancient texture.
"It's Imu's weapon."
And Roy naturally recognized at a glance that this blade was strikingly exactly the weapon used by Imu Himself in the original work.
The difference was, in the original work, this weapon was wreathed in pitch-black flames, with eyeball-like patterns growing within the flames, and suspended behind Imu.
But at this time in Gloriosa's hand, this blade seemed to be unexceptional apart from looking a bit ancient.
But even so, Roy could confirm that the two were the same weapon, there could be no mistake.
"Gloriosa serving as the executioner, and even bringing Imu's weapon?"
Thus, at this time, Roy couldn't help but ponder in his heart.
Clearly, this wasn't normal.
"Gloriosa is clearly very special—judging from the situation in God's Valley, the combat strength Imu can exert when descending on her body far exceeds the normal restricted state."
"And this weapon of Imu's is highly likely also His ability creation..."
"Having Gloriosa hold this weapon to kill Luffy, or rather kill 'Joy Boy'—no mistake, Imu probably wants to complete some kind of 'ritual' through this public execution."
Roy didn't know what the purpose of this ritual was for the time being.
But clearly, this also wasn't crucial.
In a game of chess, it's hard for a chess player to ensure that every move the opponent makes is within their grasp.
What he needed to ensure was only...
The situation was still developing steadily according to his arrangements.
Whoosh.
And exactly when Roy thought of this, he felt the sensation of his coat being blown.
The wind picked up.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
But clearly, that suddenly rising wind wasn't the sea breeze commonly seen in Marineford.
Because after the wind rose, it didn't pass, but became increasingly stronger.
Gust after gust after gust—the flags of the Marines and the World Government hung in Marineford were torn off by the fierce wind in an instant, and even people in the military formations below began to be blown away.
Seawater, mud and sand, giant waves... in just an instant, that originally calm and tranquil sea surface had become violently restless.
And right now, the Marines garrisoned outside Marineford could see even more clearly—countless massive waterspouts had already surrounded the entire Marineford at this moment.
But...
Right now, within the Marine camp.
Swish!
Accompanied by the sound of breaking wind, Aokiji's figure abruptly leaped up.
"Hmph!"
Sengoku snorted coldly, slowly raising his hand high.
"Buddha Impact!"
Golden Buddha light surged and appeared from his hand, and he swung a palm down.
BOOM!
Thus, a powerful shockwave instantly surrounded the entire Marineford, instantly shattering the sweeping fierce wind and keeping it out.
And those Marines who were originally about to be blown away finally landed back on the ground at this moment.
And at the same time...
"Ice Age."
He stretched out both hands, and intense freezing air instantly burst forth from his hands.
Those countless sky-covering tornadic giant waves, the instant they were touched by that extreme freezing air, abruptly turned into permafrost "ice sculptures".
Step!
And after each making their move, Aokiji and Sengoku also returned to their original positions.
Everyone present simultaneously raised their eyes and looked at the sky.
Then, they saw—on the sea surface behind Marineford, crossing those countless massive ice pillars, the fleet arriving wrapped in fierce wind.
The leading ships each had their own characteristics.
There was a ship shaped like a crow, followed by a fleet behind it.
At the bow of that ship, a man wearing a mask had a gloomy temperament.
[Revolutionary Army - North Army Fleet Flagship - 'Death Announcer']
[Captain - Revolutionary North Army Commander - Karasu]
There was a ship shaped like a pickaxe, with a flashy appearance, also followed by a fleet behind it.
At the bow of that ship, a giant with a massive body had a bashful posture.
[Revolutionary Army - West Army Fleet Flagship - 'Push']
[Captain - Revolutionary West Army Commander - Morley]
There was a ship shaped like a rocket, full of a sense of technology, also followed by a fleet behind it.
At the bow of that ship, a Mink wearing goggles was grinning.
[Revolutionary Army - South Army Fleet Flagship - 'Speedy Long-Haired Cat']
[Captain - Revolutionary South Army Commander - Lindbergh]
There was a ship resembling a cigarette butt, also followed by a fleet behind it.
[Revolutionary Army - East Army Fleet Flagship - 'Ash']
[Captain - Revolutionary East Army Commander - Belo Betty]
And in the center escorted by these four flagships and countless fleets, there was similarly a ship.
That was a pitch-black ship resembling a black dragon.
On the mast of the ship hung a flag that was similarly dragon-like.
And at this time, on the bow of that ship.
A black-haired man with tattoos all over his face stood upon it.
Beside him, a blond youth with a serious expression was also eager to try.
Amidst the fierce wind, Sengoku looked at the opponents appearing at the end of the sea surface.
"So they finally came..."
He said in a deep voice.
And below the execution platform, Garp, who hadn't spoken from beginning to end, had an expression that became increasingly gloomy.
[R.A - Revolutionary Army General Flagship]
[Wind Granma]
[Captain - 'Revolutionary' Dragon]
"It's the Wind Granma, it's... that 'Revolutionary' Dragon!"
"The world's worst criminal!"
"The four Army Commanders and Deputy Army Commanders, as well as Chief of Staff Sabo and Executive Ivankov are all here!"
"The Revolutionary Army... has sortied in full force!"
