At that moment, everyone was stunned.
"Luffy!" Ignoring the Marines and agents attacking him, Ace rushed forward and scooped Luffy into his arms.
Panic was plain on his face.
One moment, Luffy had been full of life. The next, he had suddenly collapsed unconscious.
"Luffy! What's wrong? Wake up!"
He shouted Luffy's name, but Luffy showed no response in his arms.
His lips gradually turned purple, too.
Clatter, clatter~
Seeing this from the Execution Platform, Sabo struggled frantically, trying to break free of his chains.
"Luffy!"
His eyes gradually filled with tears.
He did not know what had happened to Luffy, but Luffy's presence had vanished.

As he spoke, he turned his gaze toward Luffy as well. "Have faith in him. Your little brother is no ordinary person. He'll surely pull through."
He knew Luffy was the current Sun God Nika. Of course, he would not meet his end so easily.
Sabo did not look at Vegapunk. His eyes remained fixed on Luffy, hoping he would wake up.
Seeing that the plan had succeeded, Aramaki let out a small breath of relief.

Marco threw a side kick, which Aramaki calmly blocked.
But Marco used the force to fly toward Luffy.
Aramaki froze for a moment before reacting. "Hey! We were having a perfectly good fight! Why are you running away?"
Marco ignored
