Chapter 723

"Don't worry, to show you my respect."

"Next, I'll let you die quickly and painlessly!"

The bandit leader let out a loud laugh.

"Go ahead."

Da Dan casually grabbed a nearby iron rod, his eyes filled with gravity as he stared at the bandit leader.

His gaze swept over,

She looked toward Ace and Little Lufei not far away.

You could see the three of them in a pitiful state.

Black eyes and swollen faces,

Severely injured.

She gritted her teeth,

Her inner conviction hardened.

"I must win this battle!"

"I must rescue Ace and Little Lufei."

"It's over!"

Seeing that Da Dan showed no sign of fleeing, Ace was utterly despondent.

He did not believe.

That Da Dan could defeat the leader of that bandit gang.

So.

He thought.

Da Dan was certain to lose!

Even,

Might die!

Thinking of this, Ace's heart was filled with regret.

"I shouldn't have been so reckless! I shouldn't have dragged Sabo and Little Lufei into this impulsive act!"

"It's all my fault…"

"I've doomed us all."

Ace's eyelids drooped slightly as he lowered his head.

"Ace!"

"Don't lose heart."

"There's still a chance…"

"There must still be a chance."

"We can't give up."

Sabo gritted his teeth and looked at Ace.

"A chance?"

Ace shook his head and sighed bitterly.

There's no chance!

We've even dragged Da Dan and his group into this.

His heart was filled with remorse and despair.

"Little Lufei, Sabo, it's my fault for dragging you both down."

"I shouldn't have let you follow me in this reckless act."

"It's all my fault."

Ace was bitter.

"Don't say that."

"We all decided to act together!"

"You can't bear all the blame alone."

Seeing Ace's expression of utter despair, Sabo gritted his teeth and roared angrily, "Ace, snap out of it! We still might have a chance!"

"Don't you remember?"

"We promised each other we'd set sail together!"

"How can you give up?"

"If you can't overcome this predicament right before your eyes, how will you face the dangers of the sea when we sail? Will you just choose to give up then too?"

With those words spoken,

Ace snapped awake.

As if waking from a dream…

That's right!

I still have to set sail in the future!

I must become the Pirate King!

Then I'll face even more difficulties, even more complex and troublesome ones.

Will I give up then too?

No!

Do not give up!

"Sabao, you're right."

"We cannot give up."

Ace regained his resolve.

His eyes darted wildly, searching for an opportunity to resolve the predicament ahead.

"Little Lufei, calm down first."

Seeing Little Lufei struggle endlessly, he couldn't help but speak to comfort him.

"Ace, can we still escape?"

Little Lufei's small face was filled with worry.

Though young, he had already realized how dire their current situation was!

Perhaps...

They will all die here!

"Dadan cannot defeat that hateful bandit leader."

"So..."

"We must find a chance to turn the tide before Dadan falls."

"That means Dadan is buying us time right now. We must seize this time and find an opportunity to escape from here."

"If so, the Zeiyiding Society will launch pursuit and capture operations against us. In that case, Dadan and the others will be relatively safer."

Ace thought calmly.

He had always believed.

Dadan is certain to lose!

Therefore.

When he thought through problems, he had to break the deadlock before Dadan fell.

Otherwise, Dadan might very well die here.

And this was absolutely not what Ace wanted to see.

"What should we do?"

"We must find a way!"

Ace was frantic, racking his brains to think.
