Chapter 241
Chapter 241
After being bombarded by magma and cannon fire, Luffy fell straight into the sea.
However, as the protagonist of this world, he naturally wouldn’t die so easily with Jinbe and Sabo by his side.
Jinbe, being a fishman, moved through the water at incredible speed and quickly pulled him out.
Luffy grabbed onto Jinbe’s clothes tightly, his expression filled with urgency as he begged to be taken to the plaza.
Seeing the unwavering determination in Luffy’s eyes, Jinbe’s expression twisted with conflict for a moment before he finally agreed.
Sabo, who saw the same stubborn resolve in his brother’s gaze, also softened. He remained silent, but it was clear he had made up his mind as well.
He knew he couldn’t stop Luffy. Even if Luffy reached the plaza, what could he really do? He stood no chance against the three Admirals.
But... so what?
From the moment Luffy chose to come save Ace despite Dragon’s warnings, he had already prepared himself to die.
He hadn’t brought any Revolutionary Army forces with him. Coming alone was his choice. Meeting Ivankov in Impel Down had been nothing more than a coincidence.
Dragon could only hold his forehead and sigh in frustration.
Even the usually calm Sabo became stubborn and lost his rationality when it came to his brother’s life and death.
He started blaming Kuma for sending Luffy to the Revolutionary Army’s base.
"In that case, I’ll go with you!"
Sabo’s eyes also burned with determination as he smiled.
That was his brother. So what if the opponents were Admirals? Even if it cost him his life, he wouldn’t let his brother die here!
"Sabo!"
Luffy grinned widely, his mouth stretching from ear to ear in pure joy.
After receiving treatment from Ivankov, Jinbe used a powerful water current throw, launching both Luffy and a large amount of seawater straight toward the three Admirals.
The three Admirals watched as the two figures flew toward them.
Kizaru’s face remained calm on the surface, but inside he was already cursing.
Couldn’t they tell from the deep frown on his "calm" face?
"Ara ara... So you finally made it here."
Aokiji spoke in his usual lazy tone.
"Dragon’s son... and the Revolutionary Army’s Chief of Staff. How fearless."
Akainu’s expression was filled with disdain.
"Such young people... How scary~~~"
Since both of his colleagues had spoken, Kizaru had no choice but to say something as well to keep up appearances.
Damn you, Jinbe... How dare you throw my nephew into this mess.
Just wait. I’ll hit you with at least two lasers later! No, two isn’t enough!
Kizaru cursed inwardly.
"Give Ace back to me!"
Luffy grabbed a broken mast and hurled it straight at the three Admirals.
Aokiji merely touched it, instantly freezing the mast solid, then casually pushed it back.
Luffy kicked the frozen mast into pieces and sent them flying back again.
The three Admirals simply stood there, letting the ice shards pass through their bodies.
Akainu, who received special attention, melted the ice with his magma, creating steam. Combined with the smoke from the ice hitting the ground, it briefly obscured their vision.
It was at that moment that Luffy used Second Gear and Soru, instantly appearing behind the three Admirals.
"I don’t have time to play with you guys."
Luffy left those words behind as his figure vanished into the distance.
"Go, Luffy. Leave this place to me."
Sabo transformed his hands into dragon claws and charged straight at Kizaru.
"Hm?"
Akainu frowned and was about to turn around and attack Luffy.
Kizaru immediately grew nervous. He quickly put on an act and said,
"How cheeky~~~"
Then, under the strange gazes of Akainu and Aokiji, he transformed into light and appeared beside Luffy.
Sabo, who had suddenly lost his target, stopped in place.
He had specifically chosen Kizaru as his first target because he was afraid the Admiral’s speed would allow him to stop Luffy.
He didn’t expect Kizaru to run away so quickly.
"Too slow!"
Kizaru said in an exaggerated tone before delivering a light-speed kick that sent Luffy crashing into a nearby building.
Boom!
The building was only half-destroyed and didn’t completely collapse.
So even Kizaru’s light-speed kick can only destroy half a building when he holds back, huh?
Oh... right. There were Marines nearby. He was probably afraid of accidentally hitting them.
No wonder Kizaru could act so openly.
Rorschach clapped from high above.
Being able to control the power of his light-speed kick to this extent must be difficult for him.
The other Supernovas had been sent flying across entire streets and through dozens of buildings. Only his own nephew received such gentle treatment.
When the dust settled, Luffy coughed lightly. He looked only lightly injured and hadn’t completely lost his ability to move.
Seeing this, Sabo finally relaxed a little.
However, that brief opening was all the Marine soldiers needed. They had already surrounded him.
Faced with so many Marines — including several Rear Admirals and branch Vice Admirals — Sabo didn’t dare be careless.
These people couldn’t beat him one-on-one, but fighting them all at once would be troublesome.
"Damn it... What annoying bastards."
Sabo had no choice but to deal with the surrounding Marines first.
Akainu and Aokiji made no move to interfere, simply allowing the Marines to engage Sabo.
"Prepare to carry out the execution."
At that moment, Sengoku, standing on the high platform, spoke in a calm voice.
"Yes, sir!"
Two Marines immediately raised their long blades.
"Begin."
Following Sengoku’s shout, the two blades came swinging down.
Ace remained silent, his head lowered.
Everyone shouted Ace’s name in panic and horror.
Whoosh.
Two sand blades shot upward from below, piercing through the wooden floor of the execution platform and sending the two Marines flying.
"Who’s there?!"
Sengoku immediately turned to look below, his eyes bloodshot with rage.
"You bastard! I thought that since you had a grudge against Whitebeard, you’d help us, Crocodile!"
"Hmph. I’ll deal with that dying old man myself later. But before that, I don’t want to see your smug faces."
Crocodile replied in an arrogant tone.
Whoosh.
His moment of showing off lasted less than three seconds.
In the next instant, his head was sent flying high into the air.
It then fell to the ground and turned into a pile of sand. At the same time, a sleazy voice rang out from among the Marines.
"Hey, hey, Crocodile bastard... Are you trying to dump me and team up with Whitebeard now?"
Doflamingo walked out from among the Marines with his usual arrogant steps.
"I might get jealous, you know. Hehehehe."
Doflamingo stared at Crocodile with a dark expression, letting out a sleazy laugh.
"I won’t team up with anyone."
Crocodile’s head was already reforming as he glanced slightly behind him and replied coldly.
"Heh heh... So you’re still trying to dump me?"
"Something like that."
The two of them stared at each other in silence, their expressions dark.
The Marines who didn’t know the full story, upon hearing their conversation, couldn’t help but wonder if the two of them had some kind of secret relationship.
