Eight billion people around the world saw the same scene in the same second.
On the Execution Platform, Fire Fist Ace knelt beneath the blazing sun, his hands shackled with Seastone. A hundred thousand Marines stood in formation, the three admirals held the line, and all seven Warlords were in position.
“Portgas D. Ace, son of the Pirate King, will be executed today!”
Everyone thought this was a war with a foregone conclusion. Then six pillars of light descended from the sky.
Six transmigrators, each wielding a power system that did not belong to this world. Eight Gates, Flying Thunder God, Susanoo, Shikotsumyaku, Vector Manipulation, and Lava Release...
Three fought on the pirates' side, and three on the Marines' side.
One wanted to rewrite fate; another wanted to preserve the original story.
Whitebeard had no idea who they were, and even after searching every file, the Marines couldn't find a record of them. The pirates thought they were a hidden fleet; the Marines thought they were a secret unit.
Only the viewers watching the screens knew: these six lunatics were risking their lives to take on the Paramount War!
“Someone says this is a necessary sacrifice? Sorry, I don't buy it.”
“Someone wants to preserve the so-called classic? I'm afraid I have to disagree.”
When the Straw Hat kid came falling from the sky, when Conqueror's Haki shattered the execution platform, and when Earth Release raised a continent from the sea, everyone understood:
Some fates are meant to be broken.
