"Hey, old man, this isn't what the plan said. Weren't we supposed to see the pirates surrounded in the bay after we came in? Why have they all scattered?"
Sentomaru took out Den Den Mushi from his pocket and called Kizaru, asking him a question.
"Oh, you mean that one? It's slightly different, but the plan remains the same..."
While Kizaru was engaged in a fierce battle with Rayleigh, his Den Den Mushi suddenly rang, so he stopped what he was doing, took it out, and answered it.
"All right!!"
Sentomaru is about to begin his operation after receiving instructions.
"Hmm, so the navy originally planned to trap us all inside the bend and then wipe us out in one fell swoop?"
"Well, thankfully Pops had the foresight to have us destroy the warships first, thus avoiding encirclement..."
Seeing this, the pirates understood the Navy's intentions and felt fortunate about Whitebeard's previous decision.
"Although the defenses on the left and right sides have been breached, a pincer attack is still possible."
First, deal with Whitebeard's pirates as planned, and then wipe out any remaining pirates outside the encirclement!
Sengoku decisively gave orders to his subordinates, especially Sentomaru.
"Did you hear that, Sentomaru ~"
Kizaru asked him slowly and deliberately.
"Okay! I understand. By the way, sir, what if friendly forces are affected?"
Sentomaru naturally received Sengoku's instructions through the Den Den Mushi, and at the same time, he asked Kizaru again.
Let's try to keep the casualties within a reasonable range!
Although he knew it was unavoidable, Kizaru still reminded him.
"Learn!!"
Click...
Sentomaru hung up the phone and immediately gave orders to his Pacifista.
"Let's begin, Pacifista. It's okay if we accidentally hurt our comrades..."
Swoosh...
Thump...
Thump...
Thump...
Whoosh... Boom!!
Whoosh... Boom!!
As soon as Sentomaru gave the order, all the Pacifista received the command and began to move, leaping onto pirate ships or stepping onto the battlefield, laser beams shooting from their mouths or palms.
In an instant, the pirates suffered heavy losses.
"Hmm! They're willing to Sacrifice their own men to surround and annihilate us? Men, forget about the rear, advance towards the square..."
Whitebeard instantly understood Sengoku's intention and gave orders to his subordinates.
"Oh~"
Following the instructions given by the Whitebeard, the group rushed towards the main square.
"All officers must immediately retreat to the plaza and hold their posts to prevent the pirates from storming it..."
Sengoku promptly ordered his forces to return to defense, leaving all the pirates on the icy battlefield to prepare for the next phase of his plan.
"Hurry up, Pacifista..."
Whoosh... Boom!
Ah~
With Sentomaru's cold command, the Pacifista intensified their attack, and one pirate after another fell to the ground, howling in agony.
clatter...
"Damn it, die!!"
Whoosh... Boom!!
One of the pirates, unwilling to be defeated, raised a cannon, rested it on his shoulder, and fired back at them.
An explosion rang out, and thick black smoke billowed out, but when the smoke cleared, what appeared before everyone was an unharmed Pacifista.
"This... this can't be... how can there not even be a single scratch?!"
The pirates were utterly incredulous and roared hysterically.
"Get out of my way... I'll smash your head in..."
As the group stood frozen in Despair, another shout came from behind, a voice that seemed unwilling to accept defeat. They quickly made way for the man, who swung his thick Wolf Fang at one of the Pacifista.
Swoosh...
Thump...
"Hmm~"
A tremendous crash resounded, and the shockwave traveled through his entire body, causing him to shudder violently before he landed back on the ice, staring incredulously at the weapon in his hand.
Click click...
A series of cracking sounds rang out, and his iron Wolf Fang shattered into pieces scattered all over the ground.
Whoosh~
"..."
As they stared in terror, the Pacifista raised his hand and pointed it at them, a dazzling beam of light gathering in his palm.
boom...
Ah~
A laser flashed, followed by an explosion. The group screamed as they were blasted away, lying on the ground severely injured.
"Disconnect the image worm immediately!!"
"Yes!!"
Sengoku ordered the image to be severed. With a whooshing sound, the image of the square in the Sabaody Archipelago was cut in two, leaving only one image insect in the hands of the Buggy Joker.
"Hmm... what's wrong? Does the Navy want to cut off the footage? Don't they want us to see this battle?"
"That doesn't make sense! If that's the case, then why is there another image continuing to play?!"
The islanders were astonished by the navy's move and began whispering among themselves.
"Hmm~ Why is there still one frame that hasn't been cut off? What are you guys doing? Where did the last image bug go?!"
Meanwhile, Sengoku, Execution Platform, angrily rebuked his subordinates with a dark expression.
That's right. After the Navy cut off two of the images, there was still one image bug that hadn't been found. It was covered by a black cloth, and its owner, Buggy, was carefully dressed up and preparing to make a grand entrance like a big star to introduce himself to the world.
"Activate the Encircling Wall immediately after all images are cut off!
At the same time, begin the execution of Ace and wipe out all the pirates in one fell swoop!
The orders from the Sengoku were relayed once again.
"Yes!!"
Upon receiving the order, the messenger immediately rushed down to convey his instructions.
"Ugh... Ace, it's dangerous! If we don't get there quickly to save him..."
After being stimulated by Iva's hormones, Luffy's stamina gradually weakened after Luffy this short Luo Chen, but seeing that Ace's execution was approaching, he had no choice but to force himself to rush over there.
"Hmm... Is it about to start? Straw Hat hasn't arrived yet..."
Here, after a short rest, Luo Chen, whose injuries and strength had recovered somewhat, stood on a high-rise building not far from the Execution Platform, looking down at the entire battlefield. Then, his gaze fell on that persistent figure on the battlefield, and he thought to himself.
Clang!!
"Hmm, that won't do. If we let that little brat be sent to the Execution Platform, our navy will lose face..."
call out...
As Kizaru clashed with Rayleigh's Ame no Murakumo formed from beams of light, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Luffy towards the Execution Platform. A mysterious light flashed in his eyes behind his glasses, and then his body elementalized, transforming into a beam of light and disappearing before Rayleigh's eyes.
"Huff... huff... I'm getting old, I can't even stop them from leaving. But getting rid of me won't be so easy, Kizaru..."
Swoosh...
After catching his breath, Rayleigh flashed towards Luffy.
call out...
"You've come all this way with great difficulty, but now is not the time for you to be here. Go back now!!"
Under the dazzling light, Kizaru suddenly appeared in front of Luffy, gathering a beam of light in his right foot and kicking him hard in the face.
Bang...
"Ah..."
Luffy screamed and flew backwards, scraping against the ice surface and leaving drops of blood in his wake, continuing his backwards without slowing down.
Bang...
"Are you alright, Luffy- kun...?"
Luffy, who was flying backward, was caught by Jinbe, who appeared behind him, and then asked him with concern.
clatter...
"Huh?! Even the captains are going to stand up for this kid?"
Kizaru looked at the Whitebeard Pirates commanders who appeared in front of Luffy with a somewhat surprised expression and spoke.
"Cough cough... Damn it, Jinbe, I'm fine, huff huff... Although I knew beforehand how strong the enemies blocking my way would be, I didn't expect the Admiral to make a move too!!"
Luffy broke free from Jinbe's grasp, stepped onto the ground, and once again assumed the stance for activating Gear Second.
"Oh dear... this is really troublesome..."
Seeing that the captains were all Luffy, Kizaru's expression became slightly serious.
