That one sentence...
Karl's existence had a profound impact on the child of destiny, Luffy.
This impact was neither good nor bad.
Because of Karl, the difficulty of Luffy's adventure had gone from nightmare level to difficult level. He hadn't experienced so many life-and-death battles where he needed to activate his protagonist's halo to defeat his enemies.
As a price, Luffy's current strength was obviously inferior to his strength at this point in the original story.
Similarly, the strength of his companions was not as impressive as in the original story.
Besides this, because Karl had killed a Celestial Dragon twice in a row, he had scared the Celestial Dragons so much that those pigs no longer dared to go down to their "back garden," the Sabaody Archipelago, to play.
As a result, Luffy didn't punch a Celestial Dragon like in the original story, and the Supernovas on the Sabaody Archipelago weren't purged by a Marine Admiral.
The Straw Hat Pirates weren't sent flying by Bartholomew Kuma either.
After learning on the Sabaody Archipelago that his brother was going to be publicly executed at Marineford, Luffy naturally couldn't ignore it.
But without Hancock's help, entering the great undersea prison, Impel Down, was simply a daydream.
Even Blackbeard needed to use his status as a Warlord, then take the opportunity to seize a warship and have his crew hypnotize the Marines to open the Gates of Justice and reach Impel Down.
Unable to solve the problem of sailing in the Calm Belt, even the Thousand Sunny, made of Adam Wood, couldn't break into the great undersea prison.
Therefore...
Unable to find a way to break into the great undersea prison, the Straw Hat crew finally decided to use the unique bubble culture of the Sabaody Archipelago to coat their ship within fifteen days, and then pass through the Gates of Justice from under the sea to reach Marineford on the day of the execution.
Their method was exactly the same as the Whitebeard Pirates'.
So, the Moby Dick and the Thousand Sunny just happened to stop at the crescent-shaped bay of Marineford.
Of course...
Karl didn't know about these things.
At this moment, he was holding Perona, eating the fruits that Carina and Hancock handed to his mouth from time to time, while watching the live broadcast of the Summit War.
Perhaps because of his unreasonable luck, the Marines present all knew about Luffy's background through Sengoku.
As a result, after the Whitebeard Pirates were at a disadvantage, Luffy shone brightly for a time.
Not only were the Den Den Mushi's eyes always fixed on this child of destiny, but even the division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates were subconsciously protecting Ace's little brother.
So, Luffy crossed half the square, and the execution platform seemed to be right in front of him.
During this time, Luffy even awakened his kingly aptitude when his companions were in crisis.
The newly awakened Conqueror's Haki directly covered the entire square, knocking out countless elite soldiers and pirates, as well as a small number of officers.
Even the executioners responsible for the execution were knocked out by the fluctuation of Luffy's Haki, preventing Sengoku from carrying out the execution of Ace ahead of schedule according to the original plan.
"Tsk tsk... To have the same luck as this guy, Baccarat might need to suck dry the population of two or three kingdoms."
Eating fruit while secretly taking advantage of Perona, Karl teased with a smile.
"If you put it that way, the luck of this boy named Monkey D. Luffy is indeed astonishing."
Robin, who was in charge of the intelligence team, had a slightly strange expression, "As far as I know, after entering the Grand Line, he was pursued by a Marine with a Logia ability."
"If it were any other pirate, they would have been arrested by that Marine long ago."
"But he, who doesn't know Haki, not only didn't lose any crew members during the pursuit of the Logia user, but successfully arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago."
"It's also because of that Logia user that he became a Supernova with a bounty of 255 million Berries."
"Ushishi..."
Carina, who knew Luffy's background, teased with a smile, "Maybe that Logia Marine knew that the Straw Hat boy's grandfather was Monkey D. Garp, so he deliberately went easy on him."
"Carina, that makes sense."
"It's really good to have a background... His grandfather is the Marine Hero, his father is the leader of the Revolutionary Army. Now that his background has been announced to the world, even if he encounters trouble in the future, he has the behemoth of the Revolutionary Army as a backer."
"Not only that, except for some radical hawk Marines, those Marines who have received the grace of the Marine Hero might also turn a blind eye to the Straw Hat boy's actions in the future."
"..."
While Karl's group was chatting about Luffy's background.
The live broadcast suddenly changed.
A huge figure, six meters and sixty-six centimeters tall, entered their vision.
Immediately after, a scene that made Carina and the other girls, and even the people of the world, widen their eyes appeared on the screen.
Akainu, who was fighting the World's Strongest Man, punched a huge hole in the World's Strongest Man's chest with his magma fist, emitting smoke and the smell of burning flesh.
Part of his internal organs were burned away by the magma on the spot.
If it were anyone else, taking a punch from Akainu head-on would have killed them on the spot.
But Whitebeard only frowned, then covered his fist with the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and sent Akainu, who had elementalized in time, flying.
The next second, Whitebeard held the Supreme Grade Sword Murakumogiri, covered the blade with a layer of transparent white light, and swung it forward.
Crack!
With the sound of the atmosphere shattering, a large number of cracks appeared.
A terrifying airwave surged out from the atmospheric cracks, like a hurricane, sending a large number of Marines flying.
Whether they were ordinary elite soldiers, officers with some strength, or battle-hardened colonels and rear admirals.
In front of this airwave, they were all blown away without resistance, like ordinary people.
Just this one blow was no less than Karl's epic-level Six King Gun.
Its area of effect damage was even greater than Karl's Six King Gun.
This was the power of the strongest Paramecia, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
If it weren't for his concern for his sons, fearing that using too much force would accidentally kill his children.
Even though Whitebeard's current body was incomparably old.
His physical strength could still destroy half of Marineford with a single blow.
Because his destructive power was still number one in the world to this day.
In this Summit War, Whitebeard was actually having a very hard time.
First, he was backstabbed by his son, causing his body, which was full of hidden injuries, to gradually collapse.
The intense pain affected his Observation Haki and other Haki, which required him to remain calm to use.
The nearby sons also prevented him from releasing his most powerful Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability without restraint.
If the aged Whitebeard's strength had dropped from the King level to the Four Emperor level.
Then Whitebeard in Marineford was an existence weaker than Charlotte Linlin.
