[Chapter Size: 2200 Words.]
Third Person POV

Marineford, First Half of Grandline.

...

...

While the war was unfolding, many eyes around the world were watching what was happening at that moment as the Navy wanted to display its victory over pirate groups while executing the biological son of the pirate king who died more than 20 years ago.

The tension was in the air in Sabaody Archipelago, where crowds continued to gather in front of public screens. They were shocked as the battle progressed, seeing the display of powers that each of those powers could perform, each attack, each movement of the powerful pirates and sailors was broadcast in real time, leaving the audience with wide eyes and swallowing dry.

In the center of the crowd, a group of reporters struggled to capture the public's reactions, their cameras and den den mushis working at full steam. "Incredible, did you see how Whitebeard controlled the sea with his Gura Gura no Mi? This is the power of a Yonkou, not this is the power of the strongest man in the world!!" a reporter exclaimed, seeing a scene with excited eyes, unlike many of his colleagues who looked on in fear.

"Did you hear the fleet admiral? He has the power to destroy the world, what kind of monster is this!?" One of the men also shouted in the crowd.

"May Nika protect us from this war!" A woman began to pray, seeing that chaos on the screens.

The reporters, in turn, took every pause between the fights to interview the spectators. "Do you think the World Government will be able to contain Whitebeard's advance?" one of them asked, directing his den den mushi to a man who seemed to be a former sailor, given his posture and scars.

"Whitebeard is a force of nature," the man began. "But don't underestimate the Navy. They are clearly prepared for something big, and this war... it's going to change a lot for all of us."

"Look!!! He created two Tsunamis!!! What monster is this!" Someone screamed, seeing Whitebeard finishing his tsunami.

Scenes of Whitebeard's powerful attacks were interspersed with images of the Navy admirals preparing for the counterattack, each movement analyzed and commented on by the reporters. "And here we see Admiral Aokiji, preparing for what may be one of the greatest demonstrations of power ever seen," a reporter reported, while the camera focused on the ice admiral, raising his hands, first freezing the Tsunade and the entire bay.

A young pirate, in the middle of the crowd, had her name unknown for having a bounty under 10 million, but still risked making her name in the new world. She shouted: "This is the true power of the great pirates!! Maybe we should go to Marineford too and make our name, I might even get a bounty to become a pirate of the worst generation!" She exclaimed excitedly among several pirate groups, some looked at her with a somber face upon hearing something like that.

"It's not that simple, girl. Did you see what happened to Little Oars Jr.? It was devastating," a more seasoned pirate commented. He was referring to the scene broadcast moments before, where the giant Oars Jr. had fallen in battle, which surprised everyone there by the brutality with which the Navy and the Shichibukais had eliminated him mercilessly.

Next to them, a family of traders watched with concern. The mother firmly held her young son's hand, trying to divert his eyes from the more violent scenes. "We should go home, this is no place for children," she murmured to her husband, who nodded in agreement, equally disturbed.

"Did you see the move of the greatest swordsman in the world!? Look at some scenes of him fighting against some pirates!" A swordsman among the pirate groups said in a very excited tone, wanting to reach that level when he went to the new world.

"Look at Admiral Kizaru, he's using his light power. I so wish I had an Akuma no Mi!" an excited reporter said, seeing the high-speed movements launching rays of light across the battlefield, exploding the enemies.

"But didn't you see how Marco stopped him before kicking him? The power of the Phoenix is cooler," another reporter exclaimed.

"Of course not, the power of Logia is much better than that mythical Zoan," someone else countered.

The fight continued and when Jozu lifted that huge block of ice and threw it towards the plaza, everyone was mesmerized, wondering what would happen next. And when Akainu made his move, everyone sighed as he began to release his power.

"So this is the power of Admiral Akainu. Look, he's launching magma onto the battlefield. Whitebeard's ships are being burned, until one of those magma balls went towards Whitebeard..." The scene continued... "He caught it easily!" Whitebeard stopped the attack with his weapon and blew on the magma, leaving just a cold rock and leaving all the spectators even more amazed.

"As expected of the strongest man in the world, nothing seems to shake Whitebeard," someone in the middle of the plaza said with a tone of admiration.

"This fight... So these are the people who are at the top," murmured Kid, increasingly frustrated with his current power, it seemed there were as many people like Monkey D. Luffy.

"We are far from it, aren't we, Captain Kid?" Bege appeared beside him and mocked the red-haired pirate.

"Hm?! Do you want to die?" Kid gave him an angry look.

"Don't be so stupid." Bege continued mocking and turned back to everyone there. "And where is the one who is leading the worst generation?" Bege murmured, since Luffy had gone to the New World according to the newspaper. "It looks like he is ahead of us. Will he try to capture Whitebeard's territories?" He commented, his gaze suddenly turned to Basil in a corner, watching the screen and playing cards as always.

"Tell me, Basil, what chances does Luffy have of starting to capture territories in the New World? I bet the others must be doing the same, as powerful as Whitebeard is, look at the strength of the Navy. What are the chances of that monster surviving?" He spoke and waited for an answer from Basil.

Basil looked for a moment. Everyone there who was nearby and knew his powers, so they certainly tried to hear his answers, after all, he was a man who always said the right tactics and had proved it. As he began to play cards and looked exactly at those questions, his card lifted and he raised an eyebrow.

"Chances of Whitebeard surviving: 10%," he spoke in a calm tone.

"10%? That's better than I expected," Bege commented, while Drake grimaced at that, after all, 10% is much more than it should be and he was secretly rooting for the Navy and couldn't do anything about it while watching the battle he should be part of.

"And tell me, what is the chance of Monkey D. Luffy capturing Whitebeard's territories in the New World?" Kid was the one who asked this time and Basil looked again at his cards and looked at Captain Kid.

"0%," he said, also a bit surprised.

"Wait, 0%?" Kid exclaimed. "He's supposed to be in the New World, what's the chance of him being in the New World then?" he asked immediately.

Basil looked at the card and spoke, "0%."

"What?" Everyone raised an eyebrow at that. "Don't tell me he's in the war or going to the war," someone commented, and Basil nodded, looking at his cards while frowning once more and looking at everyone in a moment of silence.

"100%. The chance of him being in the war is 100%," his words echoed through the area where those pirates were.

"WHAT?!" Kid immediately raised his voice.

"Why would he be in a war of Whitebeard trying to save his commander...?" Many exclaimed, after all, they didn't know the relationship Luffy had with Ace.

"Anyway, it's going to be quite a show," Urouge said with a smile.

Apoo approached, moving his long arms, and raised his voice. "So tell me, what is the chance of Straw Hat surviving this war?"

Basil looked for a moment and spoke, "60%..." He said as everyone was in shock.

What they didn't know was that Luffy only had to worry about the forces of the Navy, but still, he had a higher chance of survival.

"Damn you, Straw Hat, you're always ahead of us," Kid said, frustrated.

"This way we won't conquer the New World, all the spotlight is on Straw Hat." Killer commented.

"Well, anyway, this will be interesting to watch. He defeated an admiral, let's see what he can do in this war," Bege commented and continued. "Remembering that he still has a 40% chance of dying," Bege commented with a smile.

"It's better this idiot survives this war, otherwise I'll kill him after resurrecting him after everything he promised me!" Boney said nearby, frustrated as she looked at the screens, anxious for Luffy who might appear at any moment.

Meanwhile, Rayleigh was still atop his tree, watching the battle. However, as he drank and saw the deaths of both pirates and sailors, a smile formed on his lips while his gaze seemed sharper than usual.

"It's coming," was the only thing he said before anyone there could notice anything.

Meanwhile, a variety of comments arose from the crowd, discussing everything they saw, the powers of the strongest, Shichibukais, admirals, vice-admirals, and pirates with their commanders, and even the base of the 43 pirates from the Whitebeard flag fleet, especially the latter's movement. After all, he had a power to destroy the world as Sengoku had mentioned.

This type of discussion was not only happening in Sabaody. The broadcast was being announced all over the world. In Goa, in the main square, Queen Makino looked worriedly at everything with her ministers beside her, while Curly Dadan, one of the current ministers and women responsible for the queen of Goa's security, was on the verge of tears, seeing Ace in that state, ready to be executed, hoping he would be saved and cursing Garp.

"Garp, you damn, how can you let Ace be in this situation? Save him! He's so close to you, you're right there, you damn, I swear I will kill you if Ace is killed in this war, listen Garp!!" She spoke as tears streamed from her eyes and the other ministers tried to calm her.

"Please, be well," Makino also commented, fearing for Ace's life.

In Loguetown, many people gathered to watch this, as not all islands could have a broadcast. Many important people came here, one of them was the new mayor of a kingdom under construction of the recently developing Cocoyasi Kingdom, with a huge port already functioning. However, still, only Goa and Loguetown had a broadcast happening in the East Blue, even the queen of another emerging kingdom in this sea, Syrup Kingdom, with the queen named Kaya.

Many were watching the broadcast, not imagining what could happen next, and this extended to other known realms of the Grand Line. In Alabasta, there was also a broadcast, and even the Drum Kingdom had gone there to watch it as allies. All members of the Baroque Works were also there, the organization that Luffy had reactivated.

All members like Miss Valentina, Mr. 2, Mr.3, and all the others that Luffy recruited except Mr.1, now all were members of the Straw Hat fleet and awaited the unfolding of the war. They had spoken with Luffy, but the captain asked for no one to interfere in this war and for them to keep low profiles. Of course, he didn't even notify that he would appear, so it would be a surprise for everyone.

In the New World, Kaido was crying in anger as he watched the broadcast. "Damn you Shanks, that bastard hindered me. I was supposed to have fought Whitebeard before cleaning up Marineford!!" Kaido complained about Shanks having stopped him, as he had to retreat the day before. Now he could only watch the old man's downfall through the broadcast.

"But no matter now, I will take all his territories, you fool," Kaido spoke as his men were already out, going to the islands where there was a Whitebeard flag, hoping that, as he fell, his territory in the New World would increase even more.

The same could be said of Big Mom, as she watched the broadcast on her main island, her children had gone out to sea, mainly Katakuri going to Fishman Island to make it his territory.

Back at the war, everything continued with the same intensity: pirates dying here and there, with no one to stop them, while Whitebeard analyzed his men fighting atop his ship, analyzing and waiting to lead them with direct orders. Meanwhile, on the other side, Sengoku also analyzed next to Ace and Garp, already planning to execute his secret plan to end Whitebeard once and for all.

However, both Fleet Admiral Sengoku and the most powerful pirate in the world, Edward Newgate, and all the greatest fighters, including Shichibukais, division commanders, admirals, vice-admirals, and navy captains, felt that something was about to change in this war. And before the lower-ranking soldiers could notice anything, the gazes of all the greatest forces turned towards one of the frozen tsunami waves, as something was about to happen.
