This sudden development ignited a global firestorm.
"Sengoku, long time no see, Guhahahaha!"
Towering over the deck of the Moby Dick, bathed in the sunlight, the newcomer stood, naginata in hand, his beard curving upwards like a crescent moon.
His very presence exuded an aura of overwhelming power and authority, commanding both respect and fear.
There was no mistaking him.
This was Whitebeard, the man whose name was synonymous with an era, the current World's Strongest Man!
In an instant, Marineford.
The entire world.
Chaos erupted.
Simultaneously, at the very moment tension in Marineford reached its peak, Whitebeard's next words to Sengoku left the world stunned, then sent shockwaves of disbelief rippling across the globe.
Guhahahaha, Sengoku, quite the welcome you've prepared.
But where are the other two Admirals? Where are they?
His tone was one of feigned curiosity, a subtle mockery underlying his words.
His words hung in the air, leaving countless people worldwide, including the Marines at the Summit War, speechless.
Why had Whitebeard asked such a question?
Why hadn't he focused on his son's impending execution first?
However, Sengoku, acutely aware of Whitebeard's strategy, his expression shifted dramatically.
No… this is bad!
That cunning devil!
He's using the information I've kept secret to undermine the Navy's morale from the very start?
Where the hell did he get that information?!
Sengoku's face was a whirlwind of emotions, his expression shifting from anger to disbelief to a chilling realization.
Whitebeard's next words sent another wave of shock, even more profound, rippling across the world.
"Guhahahaha, could it be that even the Navy Admirals weren't spared in the operation to eliminate that man?"
Whitebeard's voice was calm, even, almost casual.
But it was crucial to remember: This was a public execution broadcast to the entire world.
By the time Sengoku reacted and attempted to order the silencing of the Den Den Mushi, it was… too late!
Thus, Boom!
In the midst of the Summit War, an event that had captivated the world's attention, the entire world was suddenly, brutally confronted with a shocking revelation, a piece of information that would shake the very foundations of the world order.
The… Navy Admirals?! Dead?!
An Admiral had died during the operation to eliminate that man?!
Wa-wait a minute!
Wasn't it, as the Navy had previously announced, simply a failed extermination operation?!
And the "that man" Whitebeard referred to…
Suddenly, the image of a man from a wanted poster flashed through the minds of countless people around the world, a chilling reminder of the immense power he wielded, a power that had claimed the life of a Navy Admiral.
At this very moment, on another battlefield entirely, Ignis Glow could scarcely have imagined that he would make his presence known at the "Summit War" in such a unique and unexpected way!
…
"A-an Admiral is dead?!"
"Is that even possible…?!"
"No… it can't be?!"
"An Admiral, a being whose strength is monstrous, died during the Navy's second attempt to eliminate that man!"
Across the world, countless people sprang to their feet, their eyes glued to the live broadcast from Marineford, their minds reeling from the shocking revelation.
They frantically searched for confirmation, desperately seeking to uncover the truth behind Whitebeard's shocking statement.
And the results of their search were undeniable.
In the terrifying array of forces assembled at Marineford to counter the Whitebeard Pirates, as Whitebeard had claimed!
Akainu and Kizaru were conspicuously absent!
Coupled with Sengoku's visibly strained expression and his barely concealed rage towards Whitebeard, instantly, the horrifying truth became undeniable.
Some people couldn't even stand, collapsing to the ground in disbelief.
Others trembled uncontrollably, their bodies wracked with shock and terror.
Still others swallowed hard, unable to believe the news they had just heard from Whitebeard during the Summit War.
Because… It… It was true!
An operation led by two Navy Admirals, had truly resulted in the death of an Admiral during the second attempt to eliminate that man…!!
In an instant, the world was thrown into utter chaos!
Sabaody Archipelago.
"That news… is it true?"
Outside the Rip-off Bar, Shakky paused her smoking, her usual calm demeanor replaced by a look of intense concern.
Ignoring the shock rippling through Sabaody Archipelago, after a long moment, she instinctively glanced at the silver-haired elder beside her.
Rayleigh's eyes, visible behind his glasses, reflected a mixture of disbelief and dawning comprehension.
Watching the confrontation between Whitebeard and Sengoku on the screen, he spoke, his voice low and serious, "I fear it's true".
"This explains the Navy's recent actions and the accelerated execution."
Taking a drink, Rayleigh's expression revealed the turmoil within, his usual calm replaced by a look of grave concern.
After all, Rayleigh had fought Navy Admirals numerous times in the past.
Although not the Admirals of this era, no one understood better than Rayleigh that the reason an individual could become an Admiral was their superhuman strength; they were monsters, capable of fighting for days on end without tiring.
To defeat such a being was incredibly difficult, let alone kill them!
Moreover, regardless of whether it was Akainu or Kizaru, both were at the peak of their powers and in the prime of their lives!
