Chapter 1416: The Gate of Justice Disappeared in the Explosion
Accidents always happen in unexpected ways, giving different people different surprises.
A deafening explosion sounded as if it was going to tear apart the sky of Marinford. The navy and pirates who were fighting on the shore suddenly stopped.
An orange-red column of fire rose from the sea level, and thick smoke spiraled up like a black dragon, dyeing the clouds gray-black.
The swordsmen who were fighting each other clashed their blades and looked in astonishment at the sea where the explosion occurred. The artillery had forgotten to reload and smoke was still coming out of the muzzle. Even the special ability users flying in the air were suspended in mid-air.
There are several lookout towers on the edge of Marinford. The lookout turned the telescope and looked towards the area where the explosion occurred. When he saw the full picture of the fire, the navy immediately broke out in a cold sweat, "It's the Gate of Justice!"
The second wave of explosions followed, and this time the three warships could be clearly seen disintegrating in the flames, and the figures on the deck fell like puppets with broken strings.
Wood chips mixed with ammunition boxes flew high into the sky, then turned into burning meteors and smashed into the sea, stirring up countless towering water columns.
On the tower of the Navy Headquarters, Marshal Zhan Guo's hawk-like gaze pierced through the smoke, his fingers unconsciously stroking the buttons of the cloak of justice, "It's in the direction of the Gate of Justice, the warship parked there has had an accident"!
The originally turbid sea water began to emit a strange oily sheen, and the burning planks drifted downstream towards the main battlefield, making crackling sounds as they hit the ice.
I don't know who cried out first, but the tense battlefield suddenly erupted into commotion, and the navy began to whisper to each other.
The pirates blew sharp whistles, and everyone's attention was firmly drawn to the ever-expanding sea of fire.
Zhan Guo had ambushed some warships in advance and hid them behind the Gate of Justice, ready to cut off the pirates' retreat at any time. Unfortunately, they were destroyed in the explosion before they could be used.
"In the direction of the Gate of Justice, the Gate of Justice has been breached, and a ship is passing through a special ocean current and approaching Marinford"!
The giant steel gate, a symbol of absolute justice, groaned in pain amidst the continuous explosions, and the scarlet flames illuminated the coastline of the Navy Headquarters as bright as day.
With the last deafening roar, the alloy pillars supporting the giant gate made a teeth-grinding twisting sound, the collapsed wreckage set off huge waves on the sea, and the mushroom cloud rising into the sky dyed the sky a turbid dark red.
A dark silhouette slowly emerged from the gaps in the broken flames, and a pirate ship broke through the thick smoke and dust.
The black sails fluttered in the smoke, and the hideous skull flag on the bow was faintly visible in the dancing flames. At the bow, two people could be vaguely seen standing.
"It's the flag of the Joker Pirates!" the navy soldier on the watchtower roared in despair, and the telescope in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.
The broken wreckage of the Gate of Justice floated in the sea, just like this crumbling era. The pirate ship that had sailed out of the hellfire was now sailing rapidly towards the Navy Headquarters along the special ocean current with the momentum to destroy everything.
"The Joker Pirates! Is this Whitebeard's trump card?"
Cap was holding the rock wall on the top, but because he used too much force, he broke it into pieces without paying attention.
"Not necessarily. I caught a hint of doubt flashing across Whitebeard's face just now," Zhan Guo stared at Edward Newgate the whole time.
It is possible that the Joker Pirates came uninvited, and are of the same nature as the Blackbeard Pirates hiding in the dark. If they participated in the war early on, does Buggy really want to get involved in this muddy water?
When the pirates learned that it was the Joker Pirates, they instantly burst into amazing morale. The World Government has abolished the Seven Warlords of the Sea system, and it is impossible for pirates to help the navy.
When different pirate groups meet on a battlefield, they are naturally allies and sworn enemies of the entire navy.
"Buggy is also one of Roger's crew members. Maybe he is here to save Ace. Brothers, charge and kill all the navy!"
"Marinford will cease to exist today, and the entire navy will be destroyed"!
Seeing the pirates' shouts and cries getting louder and louder below, the three admirals frowned at the same time. Originally, Akainu, Kizaru, and Aokiji wanted to join forces to encircle and suppress Edward Newgate.
The pirate ship suspected to be flying the clown flag is about to dock, which is an unexpected variable. The four admirals who did not take action can only wait and see what happens. Now no one can guess what Buggy is thinking.
The camera crew flying in the sky on an airship spread the exciting battle scenes to the whole world. The scenes of the battle between Golden Lion and the two admirals, and the third battle between Luffy and the giant navy vice admiral, caused the number of outside viewers to increase dramatically.
Yamato looked at the Gate of Justice sinking in the sea of fire and said, "Point the camera in that direction and spread the message to the whole world. Is it Buggy who came in person to save the son of the Pirate King? This is a huge news!"
The crew on the airship cooperated with the operation, constantly retracting the expensive lens to capture the scene in the sea of fire.
A black ship was moving quickly in a special ocean current. The flag fluttering in the wind was a black flag with a red-nosed skull. It was indeed the pirate flag hoisted by the Joker Pirates.
As the ship got closer and closer to Marinford, the images of the two men standing at the bow were spread throughout the world. Anyone who dared to come to the Navy Headquarters at this time was a ruthless person.
One of them had brilliant golden curly hair covered by a black top hat. The young man had a noble look on his face and it was obvious that he came from a wealthy family. He did not have the rough air of a pirate.
The other one has a very strange appearance. He has a 3-shaped bun on his head and wears a blue and white striped shirt. He is not as strong as the young man next to him. He has a thin and medium build. This pirate looks very fragile.
"If they're not Buggy the Clown, are these two the cadres of the Joker Pirates?"
The reporter couldn't hide his disappointment. If Buggy the Clown showed up in Marinford, he could write a special report about him, and the newspaper would probably be a bestseller overseas.
Buggy only sent cadres to support, and the news was much weaker. Just when Morgans' men were frustrated, Yamato clenched her fists excitedly. She had recognized the identity of the person.
"Baki didn't come, but Ace and Luffy's other sworn brother Sabo, who participated in the Revolutionary Army, came"!
The son of a pirate, the grandson of a naval hero, the second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army and an East China Sea noble, and three brothers appeared on a battlefield at the same time in their lifetime. This news is no less explosive than the appearance of Buggy.
The middle-aged man with the three-character symbol on his head was later identified as Gardino from Baroque Studio, the user of the parahuman Wax-Wax Fruit.
Could it be that the third brother joined the Joker Pirates early, severed ties with Baroque Studio, and hooked up with Buggy and Crocodile to become a great pirate with a shared future?
Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, the black ship carrying Galdino and Sabo sailed into Marinford.
The black ship came from the special ocean current near Impel Down. Anyone with a discerning eye could guess that something must have happened in Impel Down. The Joker Pirates must be making a big move in the Undersea Prison.
