"Hey, did you hear me?"
"Yes, how can we let our comrade be executed somewhere unseen? Only Oars's path remains. Everyone must be careful; the enemy will be on high alert, heavily guarding that area..."
"Oh~"
Upon hearing the execution order, the pirates could no longer remain calm and charged forward, heading towards the only open passage.
"Hey, Jinbe, where's the Straw Hat Boy?"
Iva's duty on this battlefield is to protect Luffy's safety, but now that she can't see him, she panics and asks Jinbe beside her.
"I don't know, it was just here with me a moment ago... Hmm?!"
There.
Just as Jinbe said he didn't know where he was, Luffy used his ability to rush into the plaza at Extreme Speed.
"Hey, seriously...?"
"Hurry back! Luffy 'Luffy is a Shura; we can't just rush in recklessly!!"
After they finished speaking, the two realized that Luffy had already recklessly rushed into the square, but the next moment...
Boom boom boom...
Stray bullets were aimed at Luffy, who Impact forward first Luffy, and fired instantly.
A violent explosion rang out, Luffy was blasted back, crashing down beside the two of them, unable to move.
"You're being far too reckless, Luffy! Do you think the enemy would leave such a gap for us to get through so easily? It's all just a trap..."
Jinbe crouched down and bowed his head to warn him.
"Huff... huff... if we don't hurry, it'll be too late. They're about to execute Ace..."
Luffy knew he was being reckless, but thinking of Ace's imminent danger, he disregarded everything else and rushed in.
"That's right, if we don't hurry, Brother Ace will definitely..."
That's the navy's only weak point; we need to find a way to make good use of it..."
Upon hearing this, Jinbe's face darkened, and then he nodded in response.
"However, only a few people are allowed to pass through at a time, and each person who passes through will be subjected to the full firepower of the navy!!"
"Iva said with a worried expression."
"Huff... huff... Little Iva, Jinbe, I have something I'd like to ask you..."
Luffy lay exhausted on the ground, his eyes fixed on Iva and Jinbe, speaking with unwavering resolve.
Ta-da-ta-da...
"Former Shichibukai Crocodile, you're surrounded! Surrender now!"
A large group of navy personnel surrounded Crocodile, who had stormed into the plaza, and tried to persuade him to surrender.
"Don't get in my way... Sables!!"
Crocodile glanced at them disdainfully, then unleashed a sandstorm that swept up and shattered the marines blocking his way.
boom...
The sandstorm grew larger and larger, colliding directly with Oars's massive body before dissipating.
Rumble...
However, at this moment, Oars, who everyone thought was dead, regained consciousness under this Impact and began to writhe his huge body.
" Little Oars Jr.!!"
"Great, Oars, he's not dead yet?"
Unlike the Navy's reaction, the pirates were incredibly excited to see Oars still alive, wiping away tears as they spoke with emotion.
"Even if he were still alive, he'd be at his last gasp..."
Just as the marines were about to order the mortars to fire at Oars again, Kizaru's voice came from behind them, stopping them in their tracks.
"Hand Oars over to me. At this point, a laser beam through his head is all it takes for him to die..."
Whoosh~
As Kizaru spoke, he pointed his finger at Oars ' head, and beams of dazzling light gathered at his fingertip, ready to strike.
Swoosh...
However, at that moment, a deep and resonant voice rang out, and then a Luffy of water flashed in front of everyone in the square, with Luffy standing on it, clinging to the mast.
Swoosh...
clatter!!
The next second, Luffy had already rushed into the plaza, truly set foot on the ground, and stood in front of the Three Admirals.
"That is..."
After seeing the person's face clearly, those who knew Luffy were alarmed and looked at him with worried expressions.
"Huff... huff... huff"
Luffy clung to the ship's mast, panting heavily, his eyes fixed intently on the three people in front of him.
"Ara la la la... Have we finally arrived here?"
However, this stage is still too early for you...
"Hmph, what an unbridled brat, son of the dragon!!"
"What a terrifying look!"
The three reacted very differently, but one thing was certain: they didn't take Luffy seriously at that moment.
call...
The next second, Luffy swung the mast tucked under his arm, sweeping it towards the Three Admirals.
Click click...
However, in the face of this attack, Aokiji calmly stretched out his hand, and the cold air instantly froze the entire mast.
Swoosh...
"Give Ace back to me... Gum-Gum-Gum Gatling Gun!!"
Luffy didn't panic even Luffy his weapon was frozen by Aokiji. He stomped his feet on the ground and leaped into the air, unleashing his signature Gum-Gum Gatling Gun.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Hundreds of punches pounded the frozen mast, shattering it into dozens of chunks of ice that then rained down on the three men.
Swish swish swish...
However, these moves were useless against the three's elemental abilities, and the three stood unharmed in front of him.
call out...
" Ace ~"
After Luffy finished his fight, he thought he could hold them off for a while, so he immediately activated Gear Second and rushed toward Ace on the Execution Platform.
"Huh?! That's Ace's younger brother..."
Many pirates were surprised to see Luffy appear in the sky and stared at him.
"That brat is so reckless..."
Unlike the other pirates, Whitebeard thought more deeply and knew that Luffy's attack would not succeed at all.
" Oars, we need your strength..."
After thinking for a moment, Whitebeard shouted loudly to Oars, who was still conscious, and then gave orders to Jozu beside him.
" Jozu, let's begin, our ace..."
"Oh!!"
The two responded to his command.
"All hands on deck... We're about to Impact the plaza..."
After saying that, he gave a reminder to his subordinates.
"Oh oh oh oh~"
The pirates under Whitebeard all knew what he meant and responded in unison.
call out...
Over here, Luffy, steaming, leaped toward the Execution Platform, stretching his arm out into the air as if to grab Ace.
Whoosh~
"It's so slow!!"
However, just as Luffy and Ace were about to reach out and grab him, Kizaru's body transformed into a yellow light and flashed in front of Luffy. He raised his right leg, twisted his body, and spoke leisurely.
Swoosh...
Bang...
"Ah~ Ace..."
As soon as he kicked out, Luffy felt a sharp pain in his stomach, and his body was violently swept away. Watching Ace getting further and further away, he struggled and shouted.
"Execute him!!"
Sengoku didn't dawdle either, and immediately ordered the executioner to execute Ace.
brush...
The two executioners remained silent, then raised their long swords and swung them high toward Ace's neck.
"Not good..."
The pirates panicked and shouted loudly.
Swoosh...
Clang!!
Just as the blade was about to strike, two streams of quicksand transformed into sand blades and slashed towards the two executioners.
puff...
Thump...
The executioner was shot dead in front of everyone and fell on the platform.
"Hmm... who was it? Who did it?"
"It's you, Crocodile... We thought your feud with Whitebeard would be of some use to us, but we didn't expect you to actually help them!!"
Sengoku looked at Crocodile with astonishment.
Swoosh...
clatter!!
"Looks like I won't need to take action!"
Marco landed on the wall and said with a relieved expression.
"It's him!!"
Luffy looked over in surprise as he was surrounded by the Navy.
"Hmph, I'll deal with that dying old man later. I don't want to see your smug faces here!"
Crocodile spoke with a grim expression.
