Chapter 235: Madara contacts Whitebeard

Ending the call with Five Elders, Sengoku sighed and stroked his temples in annoyance. Thankfully, it was a crucial time for the Marines as they were making preparations for war with Whitebeard.

He could feel the tension between the World Government and Blaize. 'Don't know when it's going to erupt...'

After a minute, Sengoku picked up his Den Den Mushi and called Blaize.

"Hello! Sengoku-san..." Blaize's voice came from the other end of the call.

"Blaize, why did you stop Kizaru from arresting Straw Hats?" Sengoku asked in a suppressed voice, stifling his anger.

"Well...Luffy's someone I know, I can't let him be captured, at least for Garp-san's sake."

"Don't bring him up, and I am the one who got scolded for your actions." Sengoku roared and asked, "What happened with Jinbe? Did he accept the Warlord Summon?"

"He refused!"

"He refused? Then why didn't you arrest and bring him to Impel Down? Don't tell me you let him go free too?" Sengoku lost his cool.

"How could I? I tried to capture him but he escaped. As we were undersea, I couldn't use my full strength." Blaize responded innocently.

"From you? Don't joke around." Sengoku berated and ended the call with a note, "I need to see you at Marineford in an hour."

'Katcha!'

Shakky's Rip-off Bar,

A few hours had passed since Blaize and the Marines left. Rayleigh, Shakky, and everyone from Straw Hat Pirates discussed the next course of action.

"Luffy, are you crazy? You want to breach into Impel Down and save Ace..." Nami spoke in an angry tone.

They know about Impel Down, it's a maximum-security prison for the most dangerous criminals and pirates. It is located underwater in the middle of the Calm Belt.

"I won't recommend it." Rayleigh shook his head.

"It's risky, Monkey-chan" Shakky also advised against the crazy idea.

"Then, what should I do? I can't sit back and do nothing!" Luffy clenched his fist.

"I will help you!" At that moment, a voice traveled from outside. The next second, Jinbe arrived before everyone.

"You are?" Luffy asked with his head tilted.

"You are one of the Shichibukai, Jinbe, right?" Sanji identified the man. Aside from Luffy and Zoro, everyone recognized him.

"Are you the helper Blaize told me about?" Luffy asked.

"Yes. I would do whatever it takes to save Ace and stop this damn war!" Jinbe spoke.

"Good!"

Moby Dick,

"Marco, what happened?" Whitebeard asked Marco who had come back from a short trip.

After meeting Shanks, Whitebeard felt a bad premonition. He figured it was a bad idea on his part to send Ace alone after Blackbeard so he asked Marco to bring back that kid Ace.

Seeing Marco come back without Ace, he knew something happened.

"Pops, it's terrible. Ace is captured by the Marines." Marco revealed with an unseemly countenance.

"What?" Everyone including Whitebeard got shocked by the news.

"I don't know whether it's true or not, I bought the news from the black market as I couldn't find Ace. But I found something suspicious.

A large portion of Marines are being called back to Headquarters."

"Ace is most likely handed over to the Marines by Teach." Whitebeard analysed.

"Damn that bastard Teach, I'm going to kill him when I see him."

"The Marines got courage! Don't they know their actions mean War?"

None of the chatter fell on Whitebeard's ear as he fumed in anger. At the same time, he knew Sengoku planned to deal with him and his family.

But with his current health condition, can he save Ace? Clenching his fist, Whitebeard looked at the vast sea.

"Pops, if everything's true...we are being targeted." Marco narrowed his eyes.

At that moment, a Whitebeard pirate ran from inside the ship and said, "Dad, something happened. I received word from the lookout ship, that someone destroyed a Marine ship near our territory."

A voice shouted from the lookout area, "Captain Marco, someone's approaching our ship...not good, it's Scarlet Demon Madara who has a bounty of 3.5 Billion berries."

"What?" The Whitebeard pirates went on high alert.

"Madara? Why did he come here at such a time?" Marco asked.

Though they hadn't encountered the man in person, his various deeds spread throughout the world and speak of him.

The recent one was, that this guy went into Big Mom's territory, caused quite a ruckus, and attacked Big Mom and his sons.

Madara's figure hovered in mid-air before Moby Dick. Unlike his usual self, he wore a red cape that had a Uchiha symbol at the back instead of his armor.

As Madara's Sharingan did a quick scan, the Whitebeard pirates gulped hard feeling his powerful aura. Wherever his eyes glanced past, everyone felt death god himself staring at them.

The pressure, it's different from Conquerors Haki.

"Gulalala...you have beautiful eyes boy but don't show it off in front of me." Whitebeard's monstrous figure stood in front of everyone.

"Boy? I may look young but I am even older than you, Newgate." Madara commented casually with his arms crossed over his chest.

Whitebeard squinted his eyes while the atmosphere changed. As for Madara, he hovered in the same place with an air of arrogance around him.

After a moment, Whitebeard once again laughed. "It seems like you didn't come for a fight!"

"Naturally! I presume you heard of the news about Ace." Madara asked.

"Yes," Whitebeard responded.

"Then we need to speak alone..."

After Whitebeard's signal, Marco and other Division commanders cleared the small fries and left the deck leaving Madara and Whitebeard alone to discuss.

"Tell me your purpose?" Whitebeard directly asked as he didn't have time to waste. He needs to save Ace!

"I came here to seek cooperation. And, Blaize asked me to give this to you!" Saying this, Madara threw the vial to Whitebeard.

"Blaize? You two are on the same side! Gulalala...What a surprise." Feeling the familiar energy from the vial, Whitebeard knew it was genuine.

"Blaize said this thing can restore your physique to your prime and improve your strength. It will last for a day!" Madara stated as he gulped the wine prepared for him.

"What's our deal?" Whitebeard asked.

"The Marines plan to execute Ace in Marineford and you will see it in the newspaper tomorrow. Your goal is Ace, ours is the Marines!"

"That brat wants to take over the Marines...He's crazy!" Even Whitebeard was surprised as he knew what this meant. "The World Government won't allow it!"
