When the first ray of sunlight shone on the earth, the world's largest prison, the Advancement City, also welcomed its guests. Several naval ships were quietly docked outside the gate of the Advancement City.
At the same time, the originally quiet sixth underground floor was now a little lively. A large number of city guards, led by Magellan, had gathered here to complete Ace's final handover mission.
At this moment, all the guards were equally nervous. Although it was just a simple escort from the sixth underground floor to the door, these ten minutes meant the beginning of the war. They all knew that this war was inevitable.
According to the intelligence, the White Beard Pirates had disappeared from the navy's surveillance range more than ten days ago. Until now, no one knew where they were.
"Withdraw the criminal, Fire Fist Ace!"
Following Magellan's orders, the operation began. Ace's cell was opened, and two guards came up behind him, each holding an arm and taking him out of the cell.
At the last moment after leaving the cell, Ace turned around and looked at Shen Ping behind him, his eyes revealing a confused expression.
Ace's final gaze was clearly reflected in Shen Ping's mind. Even though the other party did not say anything, he knew what Ace meant, or rather, it should be Katie's meaning. There was no doubt that this was his warning to him.
At this moment, Shen Ping was really conflicted. He didn't know what he should do. On one side was his respected father, and on the other side was his hometown. He couldn't bear to part with either.
Time slipped away bit by bit while Shen Ping was in a dilemma. Before he could make a decision, everyone had already disappeared.
"I'm sorry, Dad. I'm really sorry."
As he repeated these words, Shen Ping felt that he had let down White Beard's years of care and protection. His heart was filled with regret. He hated himself for not being strong enough and for not having the courage.
On the other side, after learning that Ace was about to be transferred, Luffy could no longer maintain his calm and rushed out of the 5.5 basement to the 6th basement.
At this time, Ivan naturally couldn't just stand by and watch. He hurriedly gathered his men to follow and prepare to escape.
Seeing her young master in such a hurry, Ivan couldn't help but want to tell him the truth. However, the faint gaze behind her made her realize her situation clearly, so she could only hide the truth in her heart and choose to remain silent.
The development that had deviated from its original direction had returned to its original state at this moment.
Luffy and the others began to escape from the prison. Magellan escorted Ace out of the city. Blackbeard, who was more than ten miles away, also arrived late.
Not to mention the unknown changes, at least on the surface.
There were only three people sitting in Marshal Marlin Fando's office.
"Bear, what's going on? With your ability, how could the straw hat kid escape? Did you show mercy?”
When Sengoku saw the news of the uprising in the city, he immediately called Bear over to question him.
Faced with Sengoku's question, Bear chose to remain silent. He just sat quietly in his chair without explaining or quibbling.
"Wahaha, as expected of my grandson. Well done! I brought the latest tea leaves. Do you want to try them?”
There was only one person in the world who dared to say that at this time, the naval hero, Lieutenant General Karp!
Veins popped out. It would have been fine if Karp hadn't said anything, but his words had completely infuriated Zhan Guo.
"Karp, you still have the nerve to say that. If it weren't for the fact that you're a hero, I would have arrested you long ago! Look at what your family has done!”
Zhan Guo's words were completely roared out. To be able to make the usually calm Zhan Guo so angry was enough to show how angry he was.
"This matter is not something an old man like me can bear.”
He was helpless against the thick-skinned Karp Zhanguo. How could he really arrest Karp? He was just saying it.
Putting aside their many years of friendship, Karp's prestige in the navy alone would make many people plead for him if he was really arrested, including at least half of the lieutenant generals in the headquarters.
"Bastard, give me the tea leaves!"
He snatched the tea bag from Karp's hand and returned to his seat to deal with the documents.
Seeing this, how could Karp not understand what Sengoku meant? He coughed lightly and left.
As soon as Karp left, Bear followed.
After the two of them left, Sengoku, who had been buried in his work, stopped and sighed.
How could he not know what Karp was thinking? Ever since Ace's news came, Karp had never smiled again. However, in just a few days, several more wrinkles had appeared on his face.
He understood and sympathized with Karp, but he couldn't go against the justice and duty in his heart.
......
"Thank you."
Walking out of the room, Bear was no longer silent. Instead, he took the initiative to thank Karp. He knew that Karp's arrival was definitely not a coincidence. He had specially come to help him out.
"Forget it. You're doing this for my grandson. I should be the one thanking you. However, allow me to say one more thing. You have to be careful. Zhan Guo is not so easy to fool. He might already be suspicious of you.”
"It doesn't matter, I've already agreed to the doctor's final modification.”
His tone was still calm, but Karp's heart was in turmoil. He knew what the final transformation meant. Once it was carried out, he would completely lose his personal thoughts.
"He shouldn't have agreed to this!”
"It's not his fault. I asked for it myself.”
Faced with Bear's calmness, Karp did not know what to say. He sighed softly. Everyone had their own choices. He could stop them for a while, but he could not stop them forever. All he could do was respect and support them.
"Forget it, you guys can do whatever you want. What can I do?”
His words were filled with helplessness. The bear was like this, so was his son and grandson. Even the adopted ones were like this. None of them listened to him.
Dragging his tired body, Karp's figure slowly walked into the distance. His lonely back made people cry uncontrollably.
Creak, creak.
The gates of the city, which had been closed for a long time, slowly opened under the gaze of hundreds of people.
Feeling the warm sunlight, Katie felt comfortable all over.
"Hand over the prisoner."
Magellan did not waste any words.
"Sure."
The lieutenant general was also strict in his work. After all, this matter was too important to them and they did not dare to make the slightest mistake.
Two guards escorted Ace to the navy. When Ace fell into the navy's control, the handover ended. There was no unusual movement throughout the entire process, and Katie did not resist. This was exactly what he wanted.
At this point, Ace's public execution officially entered the countdown.
