Chapter 157 Entering the Plaza
Chapter 157 Entering the Plaza
Luffy pounced on the three admirals like a ferocious beast.
However, when facing Luffy, Kizaru simply raised his right leg casually and with a seemingly effortless flick, a powerful burst of power from the Glint-Glint Fruit surged out, sending Luffy flying like a cannonball.
Meanwhile, on the execution platform.
The two executioners' long swords gleamed coldly as they prepared to slash at Ace's neck.
Just as the sharp blade was about to touch Ace's skin, at this critical moment...
Suddenly, the ground of the execution platform shook violently, and then two pillars of sand shot into the sky, striking the executioner's long sword with astonishing speed and force.
With a loud clang, sparks flew everywhere, and the two sharp blades were actually shaken away.
Upon seeing this, the Warring States Marshal's expression changed drastically, and he shouted angrily.
"who?"
As Sengoku finished speaking, everyone's gaze turned to a figure standing in the center of the naval camp below—Crocodile.
Sengoku glared angrily at Crocodile and said through gritted teeth.
"You bastard! We were hoping you'd lend us a hand because of your feud with Whitebeard, but you dare to interfere at this crucial moment!"
Crocdale crossed his arms and responded with a cold expression.
"That old man who's about to die, I'll deal with him myself after I've finished dealing with things here. But before that, I don't want to see your ugly, gleeful faces."
Krocdar had barely finished speaking.
Just then, something unexpected happened.
An invisible thread flashed by, and Crocodile's head instantly detached from his body, flying into the air.
Everyone present was shocked and gasped.
However, the next moment, Crocdar's headless body did not fall.
Instead, clumps of yellow sand slowly connected to Crokdal's severed head.
In the blink of an eye, the cloud of yellow sand slowly reattached Crokdal's head to his neck.
Just as everyone was in shock, Doflamingo walked out of the Navy with a cold smile on his face.
"You dumped me, are you going to team up with Whitebeard?"
"I'm the kind of person who gets jealous."
Crocodile glanced at Doflamingo, who was emerging from the navy.
"I will not join forces with anyone."
"Are you still going to dump me?"
"That's it."
Doflamingo then kicked Crocodile, who blocked the kick with his golden hook.
the other side
Luffy struggled to support himself, swaying as he stood up again, his gaze fixed firmly on the towering execution platform.
Then Luffy ran headlong in that direction without hesitation.
Meanwhile, Akainu, with a gloomy expression, slowly moved through the Marines, approaching Luffy step by step.
However, just as Akainu was about to approach Luffy, Aokiji took action first.
With a flick of his arm, Aokiji unleashed an ice arrow that shot towards Luffy like lightning.
Luffy was unable to dodge in time and was pierced by the sudden ice arrow, causing blood to splatter everywhere.
Despite his injury, Luffy staggered forward, but gritted his teeth and continued charging ahead.
Aokiji quickly closed in and was in front of Luffy in the blink of an eye.
Aokiji slammed his hands together, unleashing a powerful burst of icy energy that threatened to freeze Luffy completely.
At the critical moment, a figure descended from the sky—it was Marco.
Marco launched a flying kick, slamming it into Aokiji and sending him flying a great distance.
By this time, the ice that had covered the entire bay had dissipated.
The pirates used all their strength to swim desperately towards the plaza.
Their goal was very clear—to break through the defenses from where the giant monster Oz had fallen and rush into the plaza to rescue Ace.
The marines on the wall watched in horror as these pirates, as if possessed, surged toward them recklessly, disregarding their own lives.
They quickly ordered another cannon barrage in an attempt to halt the pirates' advance.
However, the cannonballs rained down, causing some casualties among the pirates, but their morale not only did not decline, but instead became even higher.
"Have these pirates all gone mad?"
The navy was utterly shocked. They couldn't understand why such a fierce attack couldn't break the pirates' fighting spirit.
Just then, a loud "whoosh" was heard, and a huge warship suddenly rushed out of the calm sea.
The warship was coated with a thin film, resembling a white dragon emerging from the water.
Upon closer inspection, the ship was densely packed with members of the Whitebeard Pirates, who were waving their weapons and shouting for their companions to board the ship immediately.
Whitebeard stood at the bow of the ship, his cold gaze sweeping over the people on the battlefield before finally settling on Sengoku.
The white-bearded man's lips curled slightly upward as he muttered to himself.
“I never said all my ships were there…”
Before the words were even finished, the warship shot off like an arrow, hurtling straight toward the breach in the encirclement.
Upon seeing this, Zhan Guo's face instantly turned extremely gloomy.
Without hesitation, the Warring States period issued the order.
"Sink that damned ship right now!"
However, just when everyone thought everything was under control, Oz, who had been motionless like a corpse, suddenly stood up.
Sengoku hurriedly ordered the navy to attack Oz.
Oz turned around, gripped the edge of the ship tightly with both hands, and caught it with all his might, as if the huge ship were just an insignificant toy in his hands.
Immediately afterwards, Oz swung his arm with all his might, sending the ship directly into the plaza.
This sudden turn of events stunned everyone, and for a moment they forgot to continue attacking Oz.
By the time they realized what was happening and tried to stop it, it was too late.
The ship had already crashed into the plaza, making a deafening roar.
At the same time, Oz, having endured too many attacks, collapsed to the ground once again.
Garp frowned as he watched what was happening before him.
"I never expected to be outmaneuvered by this guy! Who would have thought that such a small rat hole would be used so cleverly by him? The encirclement wall originally intended to trap the enemy has become a stumbling block on our path forward."
