On the execution platform at New Marineford, Raleigh did not leave.
A mysterious smile still hung on his face.
The reporters and civilians, who had originally thought everything was over and were about to leave, suddenly realized that the surrounding Marine soldiers had not moved at all.
They abruptly turned back and looked toward Raleigh, who still stood on the execution platform.
Snap.
Raleigh snapped his fingers, and a massive screen rose from the square.
Whether they were reporters, civilians, or viewers across the world watching this scene, everyone instinctively turned their eyes toward that huge screen.
They did not know what Raleigh intended to do next, but they understood one thing very clearly.
Raleigh was not a man who did meaningless things.
The fact that he remained quietly here meant that whatever was about to appear on the screen was something he wanted the world to see.
Static rustled.
The screen began displaying an image.
Every channel across the world that had been watching the Marines' execution broadcast was transferred by the Marines to another image Den Den Mushi.
The moment the image appeared, what came into view was a vast blue sea, thick layers of dark clouds, and black-red lightning terrifying enough to make one's heart tremble.
Judging from the environment, this was most likely somewhere in the New World, because the climate here was completely different from the Grand Line and the Four Blues.
At that moment, Raleigh's calm voice rang beside everyone's ears.
"Let us take a look at how those great figures among pirates, who define their actions as the pursuit of freedom while causing the deaths of countless civilians, view the death of someone close to them."
The image slowly began to tilt downward.
Far below, a ship appeared on the screen.
From such a distance, it looked extremely tiny, yet from that ship erupted an overwhelming aura that made everyone watching feel afraid.
As the camera gradually drew closer, the ship became larger and clearer in everyone's eyes.
"Isn't that Red-Hair's ship?"
"Is this a live broadcast of Red-Hair right now?"
"As expected of Fleet Admiral Raleigh. Even after killing someone, he still crushes their heart."
The civilians of New Marineford began discussing it among themselves.
They had come to New Marineford for different reasons.
A small portion were merely looking for excitement, but most civilians enjoyed watching the Marines judge pirates.
Now that they could see one of the Emperors of the Sea suffer, excitement naturally rose in their hearts.
At the same time, Raleigh added calmly from the side.
"As all of you can see, this is indeed Red-Hair's territory in the New World. The ship in the image is Red-Hair's Red Force."
"What will be presented to everyone next is the sight of this Emperor among pirates losing control."
Boom!
The sea below suddenly seemed to be pressed down by something immense, visibly sinking by a large margin.
A surge of black-red Haki swept upward from the sea toward the sky, tearing open a massive hole in the dark clouds.
"What a terrifying attack! Red-Haired Shanks' Conqueror's Haki truly is monstrous."
A voice that sounded especially irritating came from the other side of the image.
His voice did not draw Shanks' attention below.
"UTAAAAAAAAAAA!"
That earth-shaking roar, along with Shanks' distinctive voice, made everyone in the world understand that Red-Haired Shanks was now on the verge of complete fury.
Yet instead of feeling fear, the people watching through the screen began gloating.
"Serves him right. It should have been like this long ago."
"I thought pirates were all heartless bastards. So these people can feel pain too."
"I did not understand why Fleet Admiral Raleigh would act against a young girl just now, but now I do. If it can make a great pirate like Red-Hair suffer, then that is reason enough."
"Admiral Borsalino, let us see what Shanks looks like right now."
Raleigh gave the order through the Den Den Mushi.
"So troublesome. The officers of the Red Hair Pirates are all strong like monsters."
Although Borsalino spoke lazily, his body was already descending at high speed.
As the user of the Glint-Glint Fruit, Borsalino's speed in this world was basically unmatched.
In less than half a minute, Borsalino dropped from the highest point in the sky to a height where the deck of the Red Hair Pirates' ship could be clearly seen.
"It's Marine Admiral Kizaru."
Yasopp's Observation Haki was the first to detect Borsalino's approach, and his long rifle immediately aimed toward the sky.
Bang!
Borsalino's head was instantly blown apart.
"He is not dead?"
Beckman frowned.
In his Observation Haki, Kizaru's aura was still extremely strong, without the slightest feeling of injury.
"Oh my, being hit by a bullet really does hurt, Yasopp."
Borsalino's head rapidly reformed as light particles gathered together again.
With a sleazy expression, Borsalino rubbed his nose, then raised one finger.
"Laser, laser."
Whoosh!
Yasopp's expression did not change at all, as if he felt no fear toward Borsalino's attack.
Crack.
A shattering sound rang out as Beckman drew the famous blade at his waist and stepped in front of Yasopp, cutting Borsalino's laser apart with a single slash.
Then Beckman took an old-fashioned pistol from his waist and aimed it at Borsalino.
"Don't move, Borsalino."
"I don't know why you came, but the Red Hair Pirates are not afraid of a single Admiral."
Borsalino raised his right hand. Resting in his palm was a Den Den Mushi with both eyes open.
"Don't get worked up. I did not come here to fight the Red Hair Pirates this time. I was merely entrusted by someone to film a few things."
The image Den Den Mushi in Borsalino's hand continued transmitting everything happening here to the rest of the world.
For the first time, the people of the world saw what the Red Hair Pirates looked like at this moment.
The deck was filled with crew members whose faces carried grief and anger.
At the center of the deck, Red-Haired Shanks' expression was twisted and ferocious, like a demon crawling out of hell, his eyes fixed viciously on Borsalino.
The moment Beckman and Yasopp saw the image Den Den Mushi raised in Borsalino's hand, they immediately reacted.
Bang, bang, bang.
The rifles in their hands fired one after another, attacking the Den Den Mushi Borsalino was holding.
Whoosh.
At that instant, Borsalino's body transformed into light once again, dodging around the Red Hair Pirates' ship.
Even under these circumstances, Borsalino still ensured that the image Den Den Mushi in his hand remained steady.
Boom!
