I, Rocks, The Black King Of Fusion Dragons Is Back!

The eve of Fire Fist Ace's public execution.

Marineford.

Inside the cell on the basement level of the Naval Headquarters building.

here's the cell,

Most of them are used to temporarily hold some prisoners who have been arrested and have not yet been tried.

And the prisoners brought in from Impel down to be executed the next day.

now,

The protagonist of tomorrow's public execution --- Portgas·D·Ace is being held here.

In the dark cell,

Ace was handcuffed to the wall with seastone chains on both his hands and feet.

For tomorrow's public execution,

He didn't have much fear.

Or in other words,

Death is what he wanted long ago.

from an early age,

He has been thinking about a problem.

I was born, is it right or wrong?

Perhaps from the very beginning, he should not have been born in this world with the most evil blood in his body.

He has no fear of death.

At this moment he just hopes,

Papa and the partners of the Whitebeard Pirates don't do anything impulsive just to save him.

On the way to Marineford today,

Ace saw with his own eyes how formidable the forces stationed at Naval Headquarters were.

Just the warships docked on the surrounding sea,

There are as many as hundreds of "Six Six Three" ships!

And the soldiers who move to and fro at Marineford,

It is also an extremely terrifying number.

Such a scale of guarding made Ace very surprised.

Even though Naval Headquarters is to meet the Whitebeard Pirates,

There's no need for such a big fanfare, is there?

Even if you only saw a part of the guarding force,

Ace can be sure in his heart,

Even if Papa brought all the members of the Whitebeard Pirates and all the Pirates under his command,

I'm afraid they won't be able to get the slightest benefit in front of such Naval Headquarters.

If the two sides really fight,

The Whitebeard Pirates will inevitably suffer huge casualties!

This is the last thing Ace wants to see.

So he kept praying in his heart,

Hope they don't show up at Marineford tomorrow.

There was no need to sacrifice so much to save him.

But Ace is actually very clear,

With the character of the father and the group of partners,

It is absolutely impossible to sit back and watch him being publicly executed by Marine.

So the arrival of the Whitebeard Pirates tomorrow is already a foregone conclusion...

Just when Ace kept thinking and lamenting.

A light suddenly shone in the dark corridor outside the cell.

Immediately afterwards,

There was a sound of heavy footsteps.

A figure walked slowly from the other end of the corridor.

Then stopped in front of Ace's cell.

He sat down on the ground directly.

A strong figure, short gray hair, and an old face.

It's Marine hero Garp!

"#$7..."

Ace raised his head slightly to look at Garp outside the cell, and shouted in a low voice.

Garp quietly watched Ace in the cell through the iron bars of the cell.

After looking at it for a while, he sighed heavily.

Last time in Impel down,

He and Ace just chatted briefly.

Originally, there were a lot of things I wanted to say to Ace,

But it was interrupted by the mysterious man who suddenly invaded Impel down.

After the mysterious man left,

Because Garp has been struggling with the identity of the other party,

So I didn't go back to the sixth basement floor to continue chatting with Ace.

until tonight,

Garp, who was so preoccupied and couldn't sleep no matter what, came to Ace's cell again.

But looking at Ace who will be put on execution platform tomorrow,

He didn't know what to say for a while.

After sighing helplessly, he called the other party's name in a low voice.

"..."

Seeing Garp's troubled look, Ace gave a wry smile.

"Father, you don't need to say anything."

"I'm mentally prepared to accept any outcome.

Hearing what Ace said, Garp salivated slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Suddenly, he looked up at Ace again, and asked for no reason.

"Ace, if Roger suddenly appeared in front of you, what would you do?"

Ace was stunned by Garp's sudden question.

After a while, he slowly replied:

"I shouldn't be able to do anything..."

"After all, he is no different from a stranger to me."

"My old man, there's only Whitebeard!"

There was a certain firmness in Ace's tone.

For the father who is the One Piece, he doesn't have any emotion.

If there is something to say, this kind of emotion will only be hatred, not others.

That's why he gave the answer just now.

At the same time, he was also very puzzled why Garp suddenly had such a difficult problem.

"Old man, why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Ace looked at Garp suspiciously and asked.

Garp, who was sitting outside the cell, sighed again,

Then he continued to speak with an extremely complicated look:

"Ace, do you believe that people can come back from the dead?"

It was another inexplicable question, which made Ace even more confused.

Before Ace could give an answer, Garp continued to say quietly:

"The mysterious person who invaded Impel down before had the same aura as Roger.

"Even the voice and the way he speaks is exactly the same as Roger."

"Even... he can even perfectly reproduce Roger's exclusive move, God's Avoidance."

"So I suspect that the mysterious man is Roger!"

Garp looked at Ace and said what was on his mind.

Even though Sengoku had guessed before, the mysterious man was most likely Rayleigh in disguise.

Even the news that Rayleigh was reuniting with the members of the Roger Pirates later came back, which just confirmed Sengoku's speculation.

But for some reason, Jupu still didn't think so.

He who had fought face to face with that mysterious man at close quarters,

There is a very strong premonition.

The other party is Roger!!!

It's an indescribable feeling.

There is no basis.

But he is so convinced.

And, the last few nights.

Garp could always dream of Roger in Marineford in his sleep.

And besides Roger,

In Marineford's sleep, there was another figure that Garp was also very familiar with.

A figure that is even more shocking and frightening than Roger's resurrection!

Rocks·D·Xebec!

I don't know if it's because of the previous prophecy.

In the past few days, Garp always thinks frequently of this maritime overlord who has been defeated by him, Roger and others.

And every time I think of it, there will be a strong uneasiness in my heart.

It was as if something bad was about to happen.

"It should be related to Kaido and Big Mom's revenge for Rocks..."

Garp could only comfort himself like this in his heart.

After all, he might be able to accept the fact that Roger was resurrected.

But the resurrection of Rocks, he didn't even dare to think about.

Once the other party is really resurrected.

For this sea,

Definitely another catastrophe!

In today's situation,

I'm afraid no one can stop Rocks.

Hear what Garp said,

Ace in the cell immediately showed a very surprised expression on his face.

"The one who invaded Impel down...was Roger?"

"How can this be?"

For Garp's statement, Ace is really hard to accept.

Garp lowered his head slightly, and continued:

"This is just a guess on my part, and it may not be true."

"However, if I may, I should like it to be true..."

"In this way, maybe tomorrow...you still have hope of being rescued!

Garp said this sentence very lightly, but his tone was unusually firm.

Watching Ace grow up little by little,

As the half-grandfather of Ace,

How could he be willing to see Ace die in front of him?

He really wants to save Ace, but he can't.

Just because he is Marine.

What he carries on his back is justice!

so he can't do anything,

Can only watch Ace go to jail,

Seeing that the other party is about to be publicly executed.

But deep down, Garp still hopes that Ace can be rescued.

He hopes that the Whitebeard Pirates will successfully rescue Ace tomorrow.

However, judging from the current situation.

Judging from the deployment of troops currently guarding Naval Headquarters.

If there is only one Whitebeard pirate group.

The possibility of this is very low!

And if it is true as he guessed,

If Roger really came back to life.

Perhaps, there is still some hope.

Garp, unable to do anything for Ace himself, can only hope silently in his heart.

In the cell, after Ace listened to what Garp said.

He was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly understood what the other party meant.

He couldn't help but feel a burst of warmth in his heart.

His expression inevitably dimmed.

Because at this moment Ace understood one thing,

He himself may not have any fear of death.

4.5 But those who really love him and care about him,

But he will feel sad and sad because of his death.

At this moment, Ace suddenly didn't want to die that much...

Afterwards, Garp had another heartfelt conversation with Ace.

It was not until late at night that he left slowly.

Darkness and dead silence returned to the cell once again.

When the sun rises again.

It means that the next day has come.

And today is undoubtedly a day enough to be recorded in the history of this sea.

Because Fire Fist Ace, the second captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, is about to carry out his public execution at Naval Headquarters Marineford.

And the Whitebeard Pirates, one of the Four Emperors Pirates, will come to save people.

An unprecedented battle is about to start in Marineford!

The news had spread around the world through newspapers as early as a week ago.

After a week of preheating and fermentation.

Even the people on the remote islands in the four oceans have already heard the news.

Countless people set sail and rushed to the islands where they could watch the live broadcast.

This public execution has attracted much attention!

At this moment, the eyes of the whole world are almost focused on Naval Headquarters Marineford!

And whatever happens next at Marineford,

It will also cause...

The whole sea shakes!.
