Chapter 406: The Four Emperors Gather!
Chapter 406: The Four Emperors Gather! Revolutionary Army! Grand Melee!
"They’re here!"
Black Dragon’s eyes flashed as he stared straight ahead.
Boom!
A loud bang was heard as a giant whale-shaped ship emerged from within the ocean.
"It’s Whitebeard!" a Marine shouted.
The whale ship was indeed the Whitebeard Pirates’ Moby Dick. On its deck stood the tall and robust Whitebeard, along with his Division Commanders.
With the appearance of the Moby Dick, ship after ship also emerged from the seabed. Those were the ships of the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Ace! My son, wait for me! I’ll take you home!"
Without a doubt, Whitebeard had come to rescue his son.
Just as the Marines thought they were about to engage them in battle, black and red lightning flashed across the sky. A massive dragon roared and violent gales swept through.
At the same time, three more fleets appeared on the sea.
The Beasts Pirates of Kaido, one of the Four Emperors!
"Wororororo! Marineford, let’s have a grand battle here today!" a blue dragon landed on the Beasts Pirates’ ship.
Behind him stood the Three Calamities: King the Conflagration, Queen the Plague, and Jack the Drought.
King glanced at Yamato on the execution platform. "Boss, I’ll bring the Young Master back shortly."
Kaido gazed at Marineford and snorted lightly. "I don’t have a son like that."
The Red Hair Pirates (Akagami Kaizoku) of "Akagami no Shankusu / Red-Haired Shanks", one of the Four Emperors!
"Uta... Luffy..." Shanks stood at the very front of the Red Force, holding his sword with one hand. He didn’t understand what had made the Five Elders agree to this.
"Whew, this might be a tough fight ahead." Ben Beckman’s languid gaze was surprisingly solemn.
Even the Big Mom Pirates of Charlotte Linlin, one of the Four Emperors, had arrived. The four pirate crews appeared simultaneously. All Four Emperors were gathered here.
In addition to this, a fierce wind howled past, and black figures stood tall on the high walls surrounding Marineford.
"Gulp... the world’s most heinous criminal, Dragon!" someone was scared out of his wits by the mysterious figure.
"Mamamama! Where’s the most delicious cake? I want to eat it!" the massive, distorted Big Mom spoke frantically, continuously stuffing things into her mouth.
"Mama, we’ve arrived at Marineford." Katakuri’s eyes glowed red as he tried to foresee the future.
Her other sons were arrogant yet nervous. They wouldn’t have gotten involved in this mess, but Mama happened to have one of her fits today. She came because she heard Marineford had the world’s best cake.
"Gurararara! Kaido, Akagami, are you also here to rescue your daughters?" Whitebeard swept his gaze over them. The gathering of the Four Emperors was actually more advantageous for him.
"Worororo! My child can do whatever they want. I’m just here for a chaotic good time."
Yamato, chained by Seastone handcuffs on the execution platform, had a dark expression. "You bastard Kaido! I won’t acknowledge you as my father, nor do I need you to save me! One day, I’ll kill you!"
"Pops!"
"Mr. Dragon!"
Ace and Sabo were already in tears. They felt guilty for their incompetence, which had complicated everything.
"Huh? He’s my dad?" Luffy looked confused.
"You idiot, Luffy!" Garp cursed loudly and punched him.
Guarding the execution platform were Marine Vice Admiral Garp and Sengoku, who had stepped down from the Fleet Admiral position.
"Shanks..." Uta saw his face, full of anger, and fell into thought. That was the person she hated, including everyone from the Red Hair Pirates.
With the Four Emperors’ pirate crews and the Revolutionary Army, the Navy was under immense pressure. On their side, they had Fleet Admiral Black Dragon, Sengoku, Garp, the three Admirals, and only three of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. They still felt a strong sense of urgency.
Just when everyone thought the war was about to begin, the great cloak of justice fluttered. Fleet Admiral Black Dragon appeared on the execution platform. Even Garp and Sengoku hadn’t reacted.
Facing everyone, and the cameras broadcasting to the whole world, Black Dragon grinned. "Overestimating themselves."
He struck decisively. His hands transformed into dragon claws, piercing through the hearts of the five individuals with the speed of lightning.
"Execution, complete."
"!!!"
The five corpses fell. This sudden change made the air still. No one expected him to carry out the execution without any warning.
"Damn it!!!" Whitebeard let out an extremely angry roar. The sea trembled, rising and cracking with an earth-shattering momentum, seemingly intending to destroy Marineford.
"Bastard!!!" The deaths of Luffy and Uta made Shanks’s eyes split with rage. He drew his sword and slashed towards Black Dragon, black and red Conqueror’s Haki lightning sweeping through and felling all the weaker Marines.
"Only I can kill my child!!!" Kaido transformed into a massive dragon, spewing a huge blast of heat.
At the same time, a green hurricane appeared; it was Dragon making his move.
The attacks of the four individuals were directed at Black Dragon. And just as this happened, Garp suddenly turned and threw a punch.
"Bang!"
Garp was pressed to the ground by Sengoku, who roared, "Are you going to betray justice?!"
"..."
Tears streamed down Garp’s old face. His three grandsons had died before his eyes at the same time. Is there anything more painful than this?
Sengoku also roared at Black Dragon. "What exactly are you doing?! The execution hasn’t even started!"
Black Dragon looked down at the two with icy eyes, his tone full of disdain. "Listen carefully. I am the Fleet Admiral. When the execution takes place is up to me."
As he spoke, the enemy’s violent attacks arrived. He snorted, his head transforming into a ferocious, pitch-black dragon head. His mouth opened wide, gathering dark red light.
"Buzz!!!"
A sky-piercing breath spewed forth. Hurricanes, flames, and sword gleams were all torn to shreds. The breath then transformed from dark red to crystal blue, its spreading chill instantly freezing the rolling waves around Marineford. Its power made even Admiral Aokiji look on in surprise.
