Chapter 221: Chapter 221: Spreading Throughout the World Chapter 221: Spreading Throughout the World "Oh no, oh no." "We have to get out of here too!" In a corner of the Marineford plaza, a group of prison escapees in black and white striped uniforms huddled together, trembling as they watched Whitebeard, resurrected from the dead, display his divine might in the center of the field. A man with a mohawk held up a Visual Den Den Mushi, aiming it at a red-nosed man with a look of adoration. "Go ahead, Captain Buggy! Please deliver your great closing remarks for the end of this war!" "Ah hah... um, eh~~" Buggy waved his hands, somewhat at a loss. He just gave a sheepish smile at the Visual Den Den Mushi, but his heart was crying without tears. Wuwuwu, why! How did it come to this—uwaah! I don’t want to be famous at all, hey! It was all an accident! Why don’t you believe me? How could the Gates of Justice have been opened just because I yelled at them, hey! At the same time, on the Sabaody Archipelago. In the bustling plaza, a large crowd gathered, their eyes fixed on the screen above, their expressions looking somewhat angry and impatient. "You damn Buggy! Give the camera to Whitebeard!" "Where’s Ace? Where’s Ace?!" "Black Snake Reiner was killed by Sengoku with one slap?!" "Who wants to see your big red nose, you bastard!" Everyone who had come to watch the battle was cursing at the Buggy on the screen. At the critical moment when the Whitebeard Pirates were about to attack the plaza, the live broadcast signal from Sabaody was suddenly interrupted. After waiting for a long time without it resuming, everyone had thought there was no hope of seeing the subsequent results. But just now, the live broadcast had suddenly continued. But! Ace was gone from the execution platform?! The man of the hour from a while ago, a member of the Straw Hat crew, Black Snake Reiner, had appeared at Marineford?! The Blackbeard Pirates had suddenly appeared?! The Marines and pirates were teaming up to fight Blackbeard?! Whitebeard had died in battle!! And then he came back to life?? They were all bewildered by everything happening on the field. Because the camera was far away, they could only see the images and couldn’t hear the sounds from the battlefield. In the eyes of the outside world, the entire war had become confusing and unpredictable. "So in between..." Countless reporters looked up at the sky and let out a sorrowful howl, longing for the truth. "So what on earth happened!!" "Was Ace executed or not!" "Why did Black Snake and Blackbeard appear on the battlefield!" "You bastard red-nose! Switch the camera over, hey!" Just as they were spewing profanities at the big screen, the broadcast suddenly emitted a sound. "Ahem... um!" "Next, I, the great Captain Buggy, will explain the final result of this world-shaking war for everyone!" "Final my ass! Isn’t Whitebeard still fighting!" "This bastard red-nose is definitely planning to run away!" "Aaaah, I’m going crazy!" One after another, people below began to curse loudly. However, the other side couldn’t hear their voices. On the screen, Buggy was making exaggerated expressions like a clown, his entire face almost pressed against the screen. As he spoke, the broadcast continuously emitted a loud voice. Even though everyone was dissatisfied, they all quieted down, holding their breath and waiting. "First! The one everyone is most concerned about, Ace! He was successfully rescued! The Marines’ execution has ended in failure!" "Secondly, the Straw Hat crew participated in the war. Except for Straw Hat Luffy who successfully escaped, all other members died in battle!" "Um, Captain Buggy, I heard that they were sent flying by Kuma. It’s rumored that they’ll fly for three days and three nights to an unknown destination." "What! Why didn’t you say so earlier, you idiot!" On the screen, Buggy suddenly panicked, then turned his head and berated a subordinate, baring his teeth. In fact, Buggy had only boarded Marineford at the last moment, half-pushed by the group of criminals. Then he had been hiding and watching from a distance, not daring to get close at all. He hadn’t heard a single word of the conversations at the center of the battlefield. Hearing this, the entire crowd below the screen once again erupted in a chorus of curses. "What the hell are you doing, you stinking red-nose!" "If you don’t know, then don’t talk nonsense!" "Do you even know how to commentate!" Then on the screen, Buggy coughed a few times and then changed his tune. "Straw Hat Luffy successfully escaped! Black Snake died in battle, and the life or death of the other members is unknown!" "The Blackbeard crew first caused a ruckus in Impel Down, and then also rushed to Marineford to participate in the battle. Among them, the life or death of Sanjuan Wolf, Doc Q, and Burgess is unknown. The rest all escaped." "And finally, Whitebeard!" Speaking of this, the Buggy on the screen even turned his head back to glance at the battle situation before continuing his live report: "He is still fighting fiercely with the Marines! He is currently being suppressed and a victor will likely be decided soon!" "And that’s it! This concludes the live commentary of the great battle at Marineford! Remember this, all of you! The one who risked his life and went deep into the battlefield to bring you the front-line war report!" "Is none other than the great me, Buggy the Clown! Chyahahaha!" Finally, amidst Buggy’s treacherous, cunning laughter, the screen went dark with a sizzle. As if digesting the information, the plaza was quiet for a few seconds, and then a panic-stricken discussion suddenly erupted! "Ace’s execution failed?!" "Whitebeard isn’t dead yet?" "No, didn’t Buggy say he was about to be taken down?" "The bloodline of the Pirate King is still alive!" "Doesn’t that mean the Marines have been defeated?!" Even though Buggy had revealed a lot of information, and it wasn’t all correct, everyone only cared about the fate of Ace and Whitebeard. Whitebeard had been famous on the seas for decades, so that goes without saying. Ace was also the trigger for this war, and with his lineage revealed before the war, he had also gained a lot of attention. The entire plaza was in an uproar. The reporters who had come to follow the battle situation all picked up their Den Den Mushis and began to contact their newspaper offices to relay the news they had received. As for the Straw Hat crew and the Blackbeard Pirates, such side details were temporarily thrown to the back of their minds. Only a few people’s attention was on them. "Yare yare." "They really did succeed in rescuing Ace. Well done, Monkey-bro’s crew." Shakky held a cigarette, leaning against a building with her hand on her hip, blowing out a long, thin stream of smoke. To be able to rescue someone and escape successfully from such a great war, honestly, even she found it a bit incredible. As for what Buggy had said about Reiner dying in battle, she didn’t take it seriously. Although they had only met a few times, Shakky knew, with the man’s style of doing things... ...even if all the people in the Whitebeard Pirates died, it probably wouldn’t be the Straw Hat crew’s turn to have something happen to them. On a rooftop, Rayleigh sat cross-legged on the edge of a wall, holding a square flask and taking a drink. Unlike the others, he knew about Reiner’s ability and knew that the Whitebeard on the screen was just appearing as an undead. Exhaling a breath of alcohol, Rayleigh’s expression gradually became desolate, his eyes filled with a thousand emotions. "...You’re gone too, Whitebeard." Back then, their two pirate crews had quite a few dealings. Every time they met, they would fight, and after fighting, they would sit down together for a banquet. Rivals, and also friends. Times have changed. Now, there weren’t many people of their generation still alive. "...What will the future become? And where will this era go?" "Let me see it for you... Roger." Rayleigh jumped down from the ground and left, calling back without turning his head, "Let’s go, Shakky. They’ll be over later. Get ready to greet the guests." "Is it just Monkey-bro’s crew, or will the Whitebeard crew be coming too?" Shakky asked, a cigarette dangling from her lips as she followed. Rayleigh scratched his head with a sheepish smile. "I forgot to ask earlier. Anyway, you’d better prepare some more ingredients." "Don’t talk so lightly, old man," Shakky rolled her eyes at him. It was good if more people came. Since she had washed her hands of the business, it had been a long time since she had seen the Whitebeard crew. Back then, they were a bunch of little brats. Now, they were all successful. Just as the two of them left, after some time had passed, the people in the plaza who had been waiting for a long time without the live broadcast signal resuming also began to disperse. But just then. "This is Marineford!" The broadcast suddenly sounded again. The central screen suddenly lit up, causing everyone to stop and turn back. "Wait! Look!" "The live broadcast is back!" "What’s the situation? Is the war over?!" Following the sound, they looked over. This time, the one who appeared on the screen was no longer that annoying Buggy the Clown. But the Fleet Admiral of the Marines, Sengoku the Strategist! His voice was like a great bell, announcing to the video via the broadcast Den Den Mushi. "This war, which seemed to be caused by the execution of Portgas D. Ace, was in fact a strategy by the Marines to use him as bait. The real goal was to annihilate the great pirate Whitebeard!" "Although Ace has escaped! The Marines’ strategic objective, Edward Newgate, has been successfully killed! The Whitebeard Pirates and their affiliated pirate fleets have suffered heavy losses!" "Furthermore! Regarding the Straw Hat Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates who broke into the war, they were crushed respectively under the brave fighting of our headquarters’ elites and the Admirals! The Marines have achieved a great victory in this operation!" "Other related news will be presented in subsequent newspapers. With this, I formally announce, the war is over!!" Sengoku finished his loud announcement and directly hung up the broadcast Den Den Mushi. The live screen also went dark with a hiss. The surroundings seemed to freeze in a terrifying silence. A few seconds later, the entire plaza erupted in a cheer that echoed through the heavens! "Whitebeard is dead!!" "It’s all over!!" "The Marines have won! Justice will prevail!!" In an instant, the news from Marineford rapidly spread throughout the world! While the civilians cheered for the Marines’ victory, a large number of pirates also became restless. The death of Whitebeard undoubtedly meant that the structure of the New World would be turned upside down. Countless powerful pirates were already preparing to move out and divide his territory. In the first half of the Grand Line, a large number of pirates were also preparing to enter the New World, striving for supremacy! Pirates! Were always wolves that feasted on meat!
