Buggy and Luffy Arrive

Luffy stood atop the execution platform, his mouth wide open as though talking to himself. "So this is where the Pirate King was executed!"

By then, Luffy had already drawn the attention of many people.

At that moment, at the Marine Branch in Loguetown, Smoker, who had been there for some time, had already prepared for battle with his adjutant, Tashigi.

"Colonel Smoker, I heard that Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, will appear in Loguetown this time. Fleet Admiral Sengoku told us to follow White Dove, but Admiral White Dove still hasn't appeared. What are we supposed to do?"

Tashigi asked Smoker.

The moment Smoker heard Roya's name, he fell into his memories.

He immediately recalled the promotion battle from back then.

The unprecedented sense of helplessness he had felt when facing White Dove.

Back then, he had been proud and arrogant, believing that after some training, he would grow rapidly.

But compared to the current Roya—

The gap between Smoker and White Dove Roya had only grown wider and wider.

"If we can only pray for White Dove to arrive at a time like this, then we'll never be able to take another step forward!"

After saying that, Smoker put on his Justice Coat.

Then he walked into the distance.

Tashigi hesitated when she saw that, but she followed behind Smoker as well.

Heading into the distance.

At that moment, in Loguetown's square.

Luffy stood on the execution platform, looking extremely excited.

Just then, a Loguetown staff member appeared.

Holding a Loudspeaker Den Den Mushi, he arrived beneath the execution platform.

He shouted at Luffy, "Get down from there immediately! That is a special execution platform under the jurisdiction of the World Government. No one else is ever permitted to climb onto it! Now! Right this instant!
