I, the great swordsman, am definitely not a bootlicker

On the island of Marineford, where the Navy's headquarters was located, there was a small town populated primarily by families of sailors. Residents had already evacuated following the evacuation warning. From their safe haven, the Chambord Archipelago, they watched the public execution unfold via surveillance cameras. Reporters flocked to the scene from all corners of the country, ready to release the news to the world as quickly as possible.

However, the surveillance ships sent by the navy were sunk every time they set sail, and no news about Whitebeard was obtained. The tense atmosphere over Marinford became increasingly thicker, and the execution time was approaching, with less than four hours left.

At this time, Marinford was impregnable. All the famous navies were gathered here. The crescent-shaped island was surrounded by fifty warships. There were as many as 100,000 elite navies, and countless heavy artillery were set up on the coast.

Of course, the key forces are still the five Seven Warlords of the Sea - Hawkeye Dracule Mihawk, Empress Boa Hancock, Tyrant Bartholomew Kuma, Amayasha Donquixote Doflamingo, Gekko Moriah, and the three admirals representing the strongest combat power of the navy - Aokiji Kuzan, Kizaru Borsalino, and Akainu Sakaski.

Finally, there is the host of this peak competition, the wise admiral of the navy - Buddha's Warring States, and the important guest, Vice Admiral - Garp.

The first group of contestants was Edward Newgate, one of the Four Emperors, who led the Whitebeard Pirates fleet. Their whereabouts were still unclear. The second group of contestants was Buggy, the clown, a member of the former Pirate King's crew. He led a corps of prisoners. They had arrived outside the venue, but were blocked outside by the indestructible Gate of Justice.

"I can see the Gate of Justice. That's fast!" Luffy shouted excitedly.

"This is considered slow... If there's a tailwind, it can be even faster, but how can we get through that door?" The helmsman Jinpei replied calmly.

Zoro rubbed his eyes, and after seeing the towering Gate of Justice, he fell asleep again. Why panic? Someone will come to open the door later.

As the team leader, Buggy turned into a pyramid scheme leader: "Guys! Where are you almost there!?"

"It's almost time for Captain Buggy to rule the world!"

"That's right!"

Since the Gate of Justice was not open, they were about to be swept away by the current. Jinbe summoned a group of sharks and whales to protect the ship. Everyone on the ship was scratching their heads. Crocodile was first surprised that Jinbe had the ability to summon a group of sharks and whales, and then said that he would let the sharks and whales carry the ship to the Gate of Justice, and he could use the power of the fruit to slowly open an opening.

So, Lao Sha started to poach people with great effort.

However, the solid Gate of Justice was not so easily turned into sand. Its thickness and hardness were far beyond Lao Sha's imagination. When he activated his fruit ability to touch it, only a little sand fell down, not to mention digging a large gap for the entire warship to pass through. Even so, after Lao Sha worked hard for half an hour, he only dug half of the thickness.

Seeing everyone's disappointment, Bucky stood to the bow, raised his arms, and was about to boost morale when... the door opened.

"Why!?"

“Hey hey!?”

"Captain Buggy?! Could it be you..."

Thus, Buggy was worshipped once again. Even Luffy, Xiao Feng, and Mr. 3 were dumbfounded: "Is this true! Buggy?"

In fact, because all the powerful enemies in the prison had been eliminated, Blackbeard went down to the 6th underground floor of the prison earlier, achieved his goal, and took away the seriously injured Shiryu. They also came to Marinford and opened the door of justice.

In this way, under the leadership of Captain Overlord Yun Baki, the second team of contestants entered the finals.

Ivankov stood at the bow of the ship with high spirits and asked Luffy: "We've passed the gate! Next, I wonder if your father will come here?"

"We?" Luffy looked confused.

"My own son Ace is going to be publicly executed soon. It's impossible for Long to just turn a blind eye to it, right?" Ivankov was a little excited thinking about meeting his comrades whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Oh, Ace and I don't have the same dad. Ace's dad is Gol D. Roger. He has such an awesome dad, but I've never met him before. But he'll be mad if I say that. Ah...right...it's a secret!"

"Hey?"

"What!?"

There was an uproar on the ship again, and Zoro couldn't sleep anymore. He covered his forehead with his hands. This ship was really full of funny people. They were obviously going to play the peak game, but what was going on with this relaxed and funny atmosphere?

So, Zoro didn't sleep either. He carefully opened the system panel and confirmed again whether the ghost energy was normal.

Looking at the panel which showed no abnormalities, Zoro slowly stood up and walked towards the bow. An island had faintly appeared in front of him.

"Zoro! Are you awake?" Luffy showed his big white teeth.

"Well, Luffy, the Marine Headquarters is ahead." Zoro's face was solemn.

"Yeah." Luffy pressed down the straw hat on his head and grinned: "Get ready for a big fight!"

Seeing Luffy's relaxed and confident look, Zoro slowly tied his headscarf and grinned as well: "I'm going to face the strongest force of the navy again. I'm really looking forward to it."

"Young people are so full of energy, haha..." Ivankov crossed his arms on the bow of the boat.

"Even if it costs my life, I will save Brother Ace." Jinbei, who was at the helm, had a firm look in his eyes.

Old Sand, accompanied by the grim Mr. 1, also came to the bow, squinting at Zoro with a gloomy tone: "Once we reach shore, our agreement will be terminated. This time, unlike last time, we will be surrounded by seawater. Once I remove Whitebeard's head, it will be your turn next - Roronoa!"

Zoro was not panicked at all, because after the fight, Wuwukai would confront everyone he met, so he chuckled and said, "I'm at your service anytime!"

Then, Xiao Feng stood beside Luffy and said, "On the endless sea, the flower of friendship is blooming, and the path of human and demon will blossom here!"

"Xiao Feng!" Luffy was exaggeratedly grateful.

"Little straw hat!" Xiao Feng also burst into tears.

The two embraced each other passionately, and Zoro couldn't bear to watch.

The star with his back to the crowd, Buggy the Clown, was cheering on his little fans and making bold statements with a halo around him.

In the distance, in Marineford, the radio suddenly blared: "Alert! At 12 o'clock, a warship hijacked by the escaped prisoners from Impel Prison has been spotted heading towards headquarters! On the bow are former Shichibukai Jinbe and Crocodile, as well as the Straw Hat Pirates, Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro! And Buggy the Joker!"

"Luffy! Luffy! Luffy! The bound Ace opened his eyes wide and his voice was hoarse.

"Garp!" Zhan Guo turned and roared at Garp, who was at the highest point in the stands behind him, "It's your family again!"

Garp was also stunned: "Luffy...Luffy!?"

The three admirals had different expressions, with Akainu, the center, looking dismissive;

Kizaru muttered to himself: "There are a lot of fugitives on the ship, so scary."

Aokiji frowned when he heard Zoro's name.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea below them also had different expressions. The Empress looked worried; Kuma seemed expressionless and moved his head slightly mechanically; Moriah gritted his teeth and said, "Straw Hat boy!"

Hawkeye's eyes were sharp: "Is it too early for you to come here?"

Doflamingo smiled evilly: "This is getting more and more interesting."

Among the many navy officers present, Commodore Smoker bit his cigar and squeezed his weapon hard. Colonel Tashigi had a look of surprise on his face and also grasped Shigure's sword handle.

Also stunned were Big Zuo Kebi and Bellemeber beside him.

Just as the sailors were in an uproar, the broadcast sounded again.

"Report, a large fleet of pirate ships has appeared in the distance! Ranger Doma, Thunder Lord Makuguy, the Dekalban brothers, the Great Whirlpool Spider Squard... 43 ships in total. Should we attack?"

Zhan Guo said to Den Den Mushi: "Wait a little longer, Whitebeard must be nearby, he must have some intentions."

At this time, a huge black shadow appeared in the middle of the sea opposite the execution platform. The waves surged, and four huge ships jumped out from the bottom of the water with surging waves!

"Moby Dick, it appears!" the sailors screamed.

"Whitebeard..." Zhan Guo's face was gloomy.

"Gulala... Zhan Guo, we haven't seen each other for over ten years." On the Moby Dick, a man as majestic as a mountain stood at the bow. His voice was filled with majesty and boldness. He then looked at Ace on the execution platform: "My beloved son, are you okay? Gulala... Be patient for a while... Ace!!"

"Dad!" Ace's face changed drastically.
