Chapter 137 The war at the top officially begins
"Sid, is it finally starting?" Claire couldn't help but say.

"Ah, so we have to go back." Li De nodded.

"Boss, I've been waiting impatiently." Delta said excitedly.

"Um, Captain, do I have to join the battle too?" Kalina was not as excited as Delta.

"No, you only have one task, which is to keep the ship floating high in the sky outside the Navy Headquarters so that my sister and Beta can reinforce me at any time." Li De gave Kalina a reassurance.

"Yes, Captain, I understand." Hearing that she didn't have to participate in the war, Kalina's expression immediately improved a lot. After all, she had been hearing about the reputation of the Whitebeard Pirates since she was a child.

"Lina, even if you don't have to participate in the war, you must do some intensive training before the war. You've been too sloppy lately." Delta immediately came over and said to Kalina.

"Sister Delta, please show mercy!" Kalina immediately acted pitifully.

"There's no point in saying more. Just start as soon as we set sail," Delta said.

"Sister Claire" Kalina then looked at Claire.

"Delta, double the training volume!" Claire added insult to injury in response to Kalina's request for help.

Because she knew that this was the last time they would be together.

"understand!"

"Eh"

While Kalina was undergoing difficult days of intensive training on the Pure White Knight, the elite navies from various sea areas began to gather towards the naval headquarters.

Twenty days later, three days before the execution, the Pure White Knight broke through the sea near the Sabaody Archipelago and returned to the first half of the Grand Line.

I have to say, the route to Fishman Island is always dangerous no matter how many times you take it.

After arriving at the Sabaody Archipelago, Kalina piloted the White Knight straight towards the Red Harbor.

After arriving at the port, a naval general was already waiting.

"Lord Sid, please follow me to the holy land." When the man saw Li De appear at the side of the ship, he shouted to Li De.

"How many members of the Seven Warlords of the Sea have arrived?" Li De asked the visitor.

"Donquixote Doflamingo-sama, Djordje Mihawk-sama, Marshall D. Teach-sama, and Bartholomew Kuma-sama have all arrived. Because Sea Knight Jinbe refused to be forcibly recruited, he has been stripped of his title as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and has been imprisoned in Impel Down.

Edward Weeble also refused to participate in the war and was also stripped of his title as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. He will be hunted down after this execution, and now we are waiting for you alone." The visitor did not hide anything and answered directly.

"This situation is really a bit unexpected!" Li De couldn't help but say.

"Indeed, no one expected that two of the Seven Warlords of the Sea would refuse to participate in the war." The man nodded and said.

"That's it!" Li De waved to the person who came.

"Lord Sid, what do you mean?" The visitor was a little confused and asked loudly.

"The government's compulsory conscription does not stipulate that I must stay in the holy land. As long as I join the war on time, there should be nothing to say, so I will wait here." Li De said slowly.

"But..." The visitor never expected Li De to do this.

"No buts. If I didn't want to participate, I wouldn't have come. But now that I'm here, I will definitely not leave. There are still three days before the execution. It would be better for me to stay with my women on the boat than to face those rude guys every day. Just reply like this. If anyone is worried, let him come to the port to accompany me." After saying this, Reed hugged Claire and turned and left.

The Five Elders soon received news of Li De's willfulness, but no one said anything.

After all, he is a powerful person capable of hunting golden lions, so it is not appropriate to offend the other party for a small matter at this critical moment.

Of course, necessary surveillance is essential.

Then someone Li De didn't expect was sent over.

The old lickspittle 'Tea Pig' is added.

As a result, after just one day, Kaji was so envied and jealous of the beautiful scene on the Pure White Knight that his face was filled with envy and hatred.

Three days passed quickly, and as several other people came down from the holy land, Reed finally got down from the Pure White Knight.

"Hahahahaha, I finally see you, Kamen Rider Cid!"

When this signature laugh sounded, Li De knew who was talking without even turning around.

"Oh, isn't this Lord 'Blackbeard' Teach?" Reed replied casually.

"Thanks to you, it wasn't easy for me to get the position of Shichibukai." Teach said.

"Well, if it's too easy, people won't cherish it." Li De replied with a smile.

"That's right, things that are too easy to get are often not cherished, thief, haha." Teach laughed very boldly.

"Fufufufufu, Kamen Rider, everything you said has come true." Doflamingo on the side also spoke at this moment.

"That is the choice of the times." Li De continued with a smile.

"Fufufufufu, what about the times? Do you think the Whitebeard Pirates will definitely come?" Doflamingo continued to ask.

"The people to be killed and the people to be rescued are gathered together. If Whitebeard retreats because of the Navy Headquarters, he will not be Whitebeard." Li De nodded very affirmatively.

"Hahahahahahaha, it seems I have to be careful. After all, dad will never forgive me." After looking at Reed, Teach still laughed, but this laughter was much deeper than before.

"Titch, your choices determine your destiny, so don't complain now." Reed said with a smile.

"Sid, are you going to take your woman to the Navy Headquarters too?" Teach suddenly asked.

"Fighting and killing is not suitable for them. Do you want to bring your men to join the war?" Li De asked back.

"Ah, of course, companions should help each other," Tiqi continued.

"Fortunately, we are not companions, otherwise we would have to face the strongest man in the world together." Li De shrugged and said.

"Thief, hahahahaha, sooner or later I will return your care to you." Teach laughed grimly.

"I'm always available, but everything has to wait until you get through today. Do your best, Teach. It would be embarrassing for me if you died easily." After saying this, Reed ignored Teach.

After the brief conversation, the group was sent to the top of the huge fortress of the Navy Headquarters, and the next step was to wait for time to pass by every second.

Five hours before his execution, Li De suddenly looked up at the next room.

As if sensing something, Mihawk immediately looked at Reed.

Without saying a word, Li De immediately turned his gaze away, closed his eyes and waited quietly.

"Zeta, Teach is leaving the Navy Headquarters and seems to be heading to Impel Down. How's the situation over there?" Reed asked Zeta.

"Master, it's quite lively here in Impel Down. Buggy the Clown has escaped from prison with a group of people, and they are now exchanging fire with the jailers." Zeta replied slowly.

"What about Monkey D. Luffy? Did he invade Impel Down?" Reed continued to ask.

"Master, Straw Hat Boy did not invade Impel Down. He was just sent to Impel Down as a prisoner on a warship a day and a half ago, and then he happened to meet Buggy who had escaped from prison. It is unclear what happened after that. All we know is that he is now working with Buggy to try to break through the obstruction of the Impel Down jailers." Zeta replied.

Shit, I was sent to Impel Down as a prisoner on a warship! Is that even possible?!

He is truly the child of destiny!
Even though Boa Hancock was gone, they were able to get into Impel Down in this way.

"Master, do you need to do something for the Straw Hat Boy?" Zeta asked Reed.

"No need. Just keep an eye on Teach who will arrive at Impel Down in two hours. As long as he safely reaches the bottom of the Infinite Hell, you can return." Reed said immediately.

"understand!"

"Sister, where are you now?" Reed called to Claire.

"We have turned back and passed over the Sabaody Archipelago. We will reach the airspace outside the Navy Headquarters in an hour at the latest." Claire replied immediately.

"Very good, after arriving, hide on the accumulation layer. I will give you a signal after Whitebeard dies, and then come down." Li De said immediately.

"Got it. The ship has been connected to the Den Den Mushi signal, and we can watch the live broadcast on the ship. After Whitebeard dies, we will be ready to reinforce you." Claire replied immediately.

"Well, that's it!" After saying that, Reed ended his communication with Claire using the power of the contract.

As time passed, the movement of people inside the castle became more frequent.

"It's a bit noisy!" Mihawk said suddenly.

"Fufufufufu, Teach hasn't come back yet." Doflamingo looked at Reed and added.

"You don't have to look at me like that. Although I did recommend him, he also obtained his status based on his merits. Of course, if he really manages to run away, the World Government can completely revoke his title of Shichibukai," Li De said slowly, opening his eyes.

"He ran away at this critical moment, fufufufufu, this is really interesting." Doflamingo continued.

"I think so too!" Li De replied with a smile.

After a while, two footsteps were heard, followed by a "excuse me" and the door was opened.

"Everyone, the time has come. Please go to the port together." said the Marine who opened the door.

"Fufufufufu, there are still three hours left. Can't Sengoku wait any longer?" Doflamingo asked.

"Whitebeard won't come at a timely moment. I estimate that as soon as Ace appears, the other party will probably be impatient to kill us. Besides, why would a big shot like you make things difficult for a small soldier? The navy's military pay is not so easy to get." After Li De finished speaking, he stood up and walked outside.

As Reed stood up, Kuma and Mihawk also stood up. Although Doflamingo complained, he still stood up and followed.

"The Marshal asked everyone to go to the port in advance just to be prepared for any eventuality." The Marine at the door looked at Li De gratefully and then explained.

"Lead the way!" Li De walked up to the Marine and said.

"Yes!" said the Marine and led the way.

Walking out of the huge fortress of the headquarters, Reed found that except for the three admirals of the navy and Garp and Sengoku who had not yet come out, all the other navy officers were already in place, and the entire square was packed with tens of thousands of elite naval troops.

We followed the marines who led the way all the way to the outermost part of the square, facing the front of the army at the entrance to the inner bay. The marines who led the way stopped and said, "Hey guys, this is it."

After saying that, the Marine didn't wait for anyone to say anything and quickly left with his little follower.

"Fufufufufu, this old guy Sengoku is really rude!" Standing at the front line, Doflamingo couldn't help but laugh coldly.

"Isn't this natural? If it were you or me at home, wouldn't we treat outsiders as cannon fodder and place them on the front line when deploying our troops?" Li De said indifferently.

"Fufufufufu, but it just makes me unhappy!" How could Doflamingo not know what Sengoku meant, but knowing it was one thing and being unhappy was another.

"Who would feel comfortable with this arrangement?" Li De couldn't help but ask back.

"Fufufufufu, I thought you were speaking from the perspective of the navy again." Doflamingo said meaningfully.

"From the perspective of the navy? Don't joke, I always do things that are beneficial to myself, that's all." Reed knew that Doflamingo was referring to himself who had just spoken in defense of the marines.

But in Li De's view, this was not protection. He just felt it was embarrassing to argue with a small person.

You, the 'sea hooligan', don't need to care, your reputation is ruined anyway.

But as a 'Masked Rider' I have to care a little. What's wrong with showing my chivalry when it doesn't involve interests? Besides, I have a grudge against you, so it's normal to step on your face.

While Reed and Doflamingo were arguing, Mihawk and Kuma, who were sandwiched in the middle, did not say a word.

"Out!"

The voice of a navy in the distance suddenly came into Li De's ears.

Following the sound, I looked towards the execution platform. Ace, covered in scars, was escorted to the execution platform by two executioners.

After the two executioners had secured Ace firmly on the execution platform, another round of exclamations was heard, and three tall figures appeared directly below the execution platform, and then sat on the seats set up directly below.

From left to right are Kuzan "Aokiji", Sakaski "Akainu" and Borsalino "Kizaru".

After the three generals took their positions, another figure slowly walked up to the execution platform.

"Get out of the way and bring the Den Den Mushi over here!" This was the first thing Sengoku said when he came on stage.

The executioner stepped aside and quickly handed the Den Den Mushi to Sengoku.

Walking up to Ace, Sengoku held the Den Den Mushi in his hand and said, "I have something to explain to you in advance, Podocas D. Ace, about the significance of this man's death here today, Ace, tell me your father's name."

"My dad is 'Whitebeard'!" Ace replied with a gloomy face.

"No!" Zhan Guo immediately rejected it seriously.

"That's right, it's only Whitebeard, there won't be anyone else!" Aston roared angrily.

"At that time, we kept our eyes open and looked everywhere. We thought that there might be a child of that man on a certain island. With the little information provided by the CP agency and the faint possibility, we searched everywhere for the newborn child, the unborn child and his mother, but we could not find him.

It's no wonder. You were born with some means, which can be said to be the persistence of a mother who is willing to risk her life. That's why we were deceived... No, it deceived the eyes of the whole world. In the South China Sea, there is an island called Batalila. Your mother's name is Bodocas D. Luju.

What that woman did was far beyond our common sense. She kept the child in her womb for more than 20 months, and died on the spot after giving birth to you due to exhaustion. One year and three months after my father's death, you were the child born from the blood of sin."

Sengoku paused for a moment before continuing, "You can't possibly not know that your father is the Pirate King Gol D. Roger!"

The title of Pirate King that came out of Sengoku's mouth instantly shocked the whole world.

In the huge Oaks Plaza, the originally quiet environment suddenly became noisy, with all kinds of exclamations coming one after another.

After the noisy voices died down, Sengoku continued, "About two years ago, when you used your mother's surname to captain the Spade Pirates and galloped across the sea with your superior strength and speed, we finally realized that Roger's bloodline had not been cut off.

But Whitebeard, who realized this at the same time as us, allowed the child who was once his rival to board his ship in order to train you to be the next generation of Pirate King."

"No, I boarded that ship to help my dad become the 'Pirate King'." Aston shouted angrily.

"You are the only one who would think that. In fact, we can't just go over and attack you because you are protected by Whitebeard. If we just leave it alone, you will definitely show your talent to be the top pirate of the next generation. So taking your head here today is of great significance. Even if doing so will lead to an all-out war with Whitebeard, it is worth it."

After Zhan Guo finished speaking, the entire square was suddenly filled with roars.

"Oh oh oh oh!"
