Chapter 307 The Gathered Crowd

Then, Zephyr asked the most crucial question: "Who else are your teammates? Is it just us?"

Hera smiled: "This is just the beginning. Don't worry, we have many more teammates, many of whom are familiar faces, and they are already on their way here."

As Hera's words fell, several dark shadows quickly left the shadow at her feet and set off toward the pre-marked directions.

Luffy was in Elbaf riding Loki, who had transformed into his Nidhogg form; Shanks was chatting happily with Ace; and Mama had been persuaded by Whitebeard and Kaido.

There was also Law of the Heart Pirates, Issho who was a guest on his ship, as well as the 'Red Earl' Patrick Redfield and the 'Devil Heir' Douglas Bullet, who were adventuring around the world.

Kuma and Dragon were at the Revolutionary Army headquarters, Sabo was rushing toward Marineford, the Gold Emperor Gild Tesoro was in Gold City, and Judge was researching new cyborgs.

And there were Hancock's two sisters on Amazon Lily, with Rayleigh staying temporarily on the island.

These people who had once spent time with Hera—some were her brothers, some her friends, some her companions—all sensed Hera's presence at this moment.

Several of Hera's clones emerged from their shadows and opened portals. Without needing words, they knew the moment of the decisive battle had arrived.

Hera leaped, her figure moving from the conference room to the open sea. Several massive portals appeared on the sea, guiding her clones.

Perona sensed the aura of the teleportation and stood beside Hera, her own ghost powers reinforcing the portals Hera had constructed.

The first to arrive was Luffy, sitting atop the giant black dragon. He excitedly ran out of the portal, with Loki also towing Luffy's Thousand Sunny behind him.

"What a huge portal! Hera, did you create this too?"

Hera shot Luffy an annoyed look: "Hurry and tell Loki to shrink his form. This place needs to accommodate many more people in a moment."

Ace's Moby Dick and Shanks's Red Force emerged from the portals together. The famous pirates of the New World had actually come here because of a Marine's summons.

Before the people on the Moby Dick could recover from their shock, another familiar aura emerged from the portal, causing the captains on the Moby Dick to look at the newcomers in disbelief.

A young Whitebeard with golden hair appeared from the portal, bringing Kaido and a restored Mama with him. Following closely behind them were the Sweet Commanders of the Big Mom Pirates and the Three Disasters.

'Diamond' Jozu rubbed his eyes in disbelief, as if confirming whether he was seeing things correctly, while 'Flower Sword' Vista leaned over the edge of the Moby Dick, eyes wide.

"Is that... is that Pops? Pops is actually alive?"

The whole ship looked simultaneously at Marco and Ace. Seeing the excited crowd, Marco nodded: "That's right. Thanks to Hera's help, Pops was able to return alive."

The crowd, who hadn't wanted to listen to Ace or help Hera because she had killed Whitebeard, suddenly felt their fighting spirit ignite upon hearing this.

Seeing his children, Whitebeard jumped directly from Kaido's ship onto the Moby Dick and opened his arms:

"Gurararararara, long time no see, my children. How have you been doing while I wasn't around?"

"Pops..."

Seeing the young Whitebeard, several figures who had always followed him were already in tears, the hardships of the time after the Marineford War flooding their minds.

Watching everyone crying their eyes out, Whitebeard was momentarily at a loss.

Ace looked at the man who could be said to have given him a second life, and his emotions couldn't help but stir as well.

Whitebeard looked at the extra scars on Ace's back; as if seeing the hardships the Whitebeard Pirates had endured after he was gone through those scars, he couldn't help but feel a bit sorrowful.

But he also knew that under his protection, they were destined not to grow into powerful figures; children who grow up must eventually weather the storms themselves.

Setting aside the reunion of Whitebeard and his crew for a moment, Kaido looked at the restored Mama and the golden-haired Whitebeard beside him, as if returning to the days of his youth in the Rocks Pirates.

Mama looked at Hera, who was floating in the air, and snorted:

"Hey, Nightmare Admiral, Kaido and Whitebeard said you're going to fight that shadow from God Valley, and you even promised some benefits, right?"

Hera nodded and gave her promise: "I will grant the teammates participating in this war the power to establish their own nations."

"Mama, your Cake Island and your original sphere of influence can form a kingdom of your own, but it must be under the supervision of the Marine."

Mama snorted: "That's more like it."

Facing Mama, whose dream was to establish a nation where all races and things in the world could live together without distinction, and who hoped to make all races in the world "family."

Hera extended her tolerance toward her, and she had to admit that Mama's Soul-Soul Fruit had a unique advantage in construction.

However, all of this had to be built upon the condition that her dream could only be realized under Hera's constraints.

Dragon and Kuma, located in the heart of the Revolutionary Army, brought other Revolutionary Army cadres through the portal and arrived at Marineford.

Dragon looked at Garp and Kuzan on the shore, jumped over, and said indifferently: "I'm back."

Garp looked at his son, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, and patted his shoulder: "You've grown up quite a bit, Dragon."

Then, the hand on his shoulder exerted force: "It's been so long, you just dumped your child on me and ran off, right? Tell me, who exactly is Luffy's mother?"

Feeling the strength of the hand on his shoulder increasing, a cold sweat broke out on Dragon's forehead: "Vice Admiral Garp, there are so many people here."

Hearing Dragon's address, Garp became even angrier, and a trace of reddish-black Haki vaguely covered his fist: "You brat, what did you just call me?"

Dragon quickly whispered: "Take it easy, Pops. Luffy's mother is still inside the Revolutionary Army. This outing is too dangerous, so I didn't let her come along."

I don't know when it happened, but Issho, who had been mingling with the members of the Heart Pirates, also emerged from the submarine:

"This is truly lively. The Four Emperors are gathered at Marineford; anyone who didn't know better would think the pirates were teaming up to attack the Marine."
