30 030 The Summit War
Marineford, the Summit War has already broken out.
Ace was about to be executed, and the Whitebeard Pirates began to fight with all their strength. This battle reached its peak.
Whitebeard faced three admirals single-handedly, despite being seriously ill and bearing wounds from the intense battle.
The most severe injury was on his abdomen, a massive hole caused by Akainu's attack. Such a gruesome wound could be fatal to anyone.
He resembled a ferocious demon, growing even more formidable as the battle raged on.
This battle drew the world's attention in its entirety.
Who will emerge victorious in the war between the World's Strongest Man and the Marine Headquarters?
...
At this moment, Blackbeard and his pirates crew had already arrived in Marineford, hiding themself behind the Marine Headquarters building.
"Captain, it seems like this war is heating up!"
Burgess smiled at Blackbeard.
"Zeehahahaha, let them fight; we'll bide our time and join in when they're all worn out."
Blackbeard laughed loudly.
After a while, Shiryu, Laffitte, and the others appeared next to Blackbeard one by one.
"Captain, all the surrounding Marines have been dealt with, our location is secure"
Shiryu reported as he approached. He wiped his katana carefully and sighed inwardly.
"My blade has finally had its fill of blood"
"Fus Fus Fus, Captain, two powerful marines were discovered within the Marine Headquarters. I'm afraid these are reinforcements the Marines have prepared,"
Vasco Shot said drunkenly.
"Two powerfull Marines? Does one of them happen to be missing an arm?"
Blackbeard inquired upon hearing this.
"That's correct"
Vasco Shot nodded.
"He's a Marine admiral candidate with the power to copy Devil Fruit abilities. Come, let me demonstrate how we plunder these abilities"
Blackbeard smiled and said to Vasco Shot, Catarina Devon, and Avalo Pizzaro.
"You mean?"
Avalo Pizzaro understood Blackbeard's implication.
"That's right, let's kill Vice Admiral Chaton"
Blackbeard nodded, then grinned and said: "By the way, let's sneak around the Marine Headquarters. You might discover something new inside."
Soon, Blackbeard had infiltrated the Marine Headquarters building.
With everyone's attention focused on the battlefield, no one noticed him sneaking in. Except for Sanjuan Wolf, whom he stationed as a guard outside, all members of the Blackbeard Pirate crew had followed him into the building.
"I remember this is the center of the Marines, isn't it?"
Blackbeard took the lead, ascending to the highest floor of the Marine Headquarters.
Despite the ongoing battle between the Marines and Whitebeard, there were still numerous Marine troops here guarding this area. It indicated that something highly important was likely on this floor.
"Black Hole!"
Blackbeard utilized the power of the Dark Fruit, causing darkness to silently spread across the ground.
"Darkness? What's happening?"
"Why has the ground turned black?"
"No, those are Devil Fruit abilities!!!"
By the time the Marines guard reacted, it was already too late. A powerful gravitational force surged from the darkened ground, and soon, they were entirely swallowed.
"Go in and see what's they guarding inside."
Blackbeard stepped out of the corridor, and Burgess, Laffitte, and the others took the lead, charging into the room guarded by the Marines.
"Captain, there are some puzzling documents here!"
Burgess riipped through the various papers in the room.
"Captain, these documents are of no use to us"
Van Augur informed Blackbeard after scrutinizing them for a while.
"Are there any historical records? " Blackbeard asked once more..
After a lengthy search, Laffitte, Van Augur, and others all shook their heads. No historical records were found among the documents.
"If it's no longer useful for us, just burn it"
Blackbeard appeared somewhat disappointed. He had hoped for a significant discovery, but instead, he found the room filled with disorderly Marine documents.
"Captain, it seems I found something valuable!"
Laffitte's eyes focused on an identity file, and he handed it to Blackbeard.
Blackbeard took it and was stunned.
Vice Admiral Momousagi, Gion's identity file?
This file not only record Gion's life experiences but also reveals the identity of her parents!
Her mother's name is Gina, a renowned singer in a country. She possesses a beautiful face, a sweet singing voice, and captivating dance moves.
Her father is a general of that country. Their love story is a union between a military commander and a beautiful woman, bound by the ties of the heart.
Then, there is a subtle change occurred in Blackbeard's eyes.
It was mentioned that Gion's mother had caught the eye of a Celestial Dragon during a performance, and he intended to bring her to the Holy Land to become his wife.
However, Gion's father directly rejected the deman from the Celestial Dragons, defying their wishes and disobeying their orders.
The next tragic turn of events is that Celestial Dragons not only killing Gion's father but also killed her mother.
Gion, who lost her parents, was later discovered by the Marines.
She was still a baby and was eventually taken in by a kind-hearted Marine, growing up within the confines of the Marine Headquarters.
Blackbeard burst into laughter when he seeing this.
"Zeehahahahaha, what a good person to be taken fancy by Celestial Dragons, but he directly refuse their demand, and disobey their orders! Zeehahahaa! !"
He could vividly imagine the scenario in his mind.
It must have been the Celestial Dragons who wanted to forcefully take Gion's mother away.
Gion's father took the initiative to resist upon witnessing the scene, only to be killed by the Celestial Dragons. Gion's mother, devastated, suffered a broken heart.
She resisted the Celestial Dragons but, in the end, she was also killed.
What Blackbeard laughed at was the shameless deceit of the Marines, crafting a false narrative to glorify their kindness about taking care of her while simultaneously manipulating their own victim into becoming a devoted Marine officer—an organization that had initially destroyed her family life in the first place!
