Chapter 281: Execution Successful

Boom, boom, boom~

"Ace..."

Ace's pupils shrank to a point. He had originally thought he would never hear Little Oars' voice again in this life, but he didn't expect...

Boom, boom, boom~ The ground began to shake, and Little Oars, who should have been dead, actually stood up slowly.

Even Karl couldn't help but exclaim, "His vitality is truly tenacious! To be able to stand up after being wounded Move Move Like that."

"Ace... ugh, wheeze... Ace, I want to protect Ace..."

"Oars!!!"

Even death could not stop Little Oars' heart from wanting to save Ace, but soon, this touching scene was interrupted.

"Fire!!! Kill Little Oars!"

Bang, bang, bang! Countless cannonballs and bullets exploded on Little Oars, blooming into flowers of blood.

"Oars!!!" Ace's eyes were splitting, his throat almost torn from screaming, but he still couldn't stop Little Oars' forward steps.

Inside the Siege Walls, Luffy was lying on the ice, gasping for air, his body soaked in water, with Ivankov and Jinbe standing beside him.

During the charge just now, he was caught in an explosion and fell into the sea. If Jinbe hadn't saved him, he would probably be dead by now.

"Quick! Quick, help me think of a way! If we don't think of something, they're going to execute Ace!"

Luffy struggled to crawl up, grabbing Jinbe's collar: "Jinbe, I have a favor to ask!!!"

Below the execution platform, looking at Oars standing up again, Kizaru pouted, "How tenacious!"

"He only has one breath left. Continue firing!"

Kizaru waved his hand, "It's fine, leave it to me. We must complete the execution quickly!"

"Admiral Kizaru..."

Kizaru extended his right index finger, condensing a golden flash that illuminated Marineford, which was shrouded in smoke.

"In times Move Move Like this, the best method is to shoot through the head..."

Ace shouted loudly, "Oars!!! Run away, you!"

"It's over..."

At this moment, a roar came from outside the Siege Walls: "Ocean Current Shoulder Throw!!!"

Splash~ Plop!

A mass of crystal-clear seawater passed through the Siege Walls and landed on the ground in front of the execution platform. Kizaru, startled, couldn't help but stop charging his power.

Whoosh~ The seawater dispersed in all directions, revealing Luffy inside. He knelt on one knee, his right hand clutching a mast.

Ace shouted in shock, "Huh? Luffy!!!"

At this moment, he looked a bit disheveled, still gasping for air.

"Ara ara~ Finally made it here? Straw Hat boy." This was Aokiji.

"Dragon's son, truly fearless!" This was Akainu.

"So young, truly scary~" This was Kizaru.

"So this guy really came after all? Worthy of being a member of the... Monkey family~" This was Karl.

Clearly, Luffy's arrival attracted everyone's attention; otherwise, it wouldn't have been worth such a flashy entrance.

Looking at Luffy's serious and determined expression, Akainu said calmly, "Your persistence is worth praising."

Aokiji added, "However, for you, this stage is still too early."

"You can't possibly win against us, Straw Hat boy."

Luffy ignored the three Admirals in front of him, slowly raised his head to look at Ace on the execution platform, and roared, "Give Ace back to me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Luffy suddenly swung the mast toward the three Admirals.

"Gum-Gum: Stamp Gatling!!!"

"This reckless appearance is really Move Move Like his brother~ Oars, stay there, I need your strength!"

Oars slowly turned his head to look at Whitebeard behind him: "Pops..."

"Jozu, use your trump card!"

"Everyone, prepare to charge into the plaza!!!"

Although their team had lost many people, as long as Pops was there, they feared nothing!

Saving Ace, it happens today!

Below the execution platform, Luffy unleashed a fierce flurry of attacks against the three Admirals, but looking at the damage... uh, it was immune.

"Gear Second!"

Whoosh~

Confronting the three Admirals head-on was just a diversion; Luffy's true goal had always been only to save Ace.

Kizaru curled his lip: "Eh, playing tricks, are we!"

Biu~ Kizaru instantly disappeared from his spot and appeared in front of Luffy: "Too slow~"

Kizaru's golden right foot kicked Luffy in the face with a smack.

"Ugh, ahhh!"

Luffy let out a scream, and then he was nowhere to be seen.

On the execution platform, Sengoku said calmly, "Begin the execution."

"Yes!"

The two executioners beside Ace raised their long blades above their heads.

"Begin!"

Whoosh~ The long blades sliced through the air, and it looked Move Move Like they were about to land on Ace's head.

Whitebeard shouted in shock, "Ace!!!"

"Ace!!!"

"Ace!!"

A chorus of "Ace" could be heard...

At this moment, Ace slowly closed his eyes and lowered his head, preparing to meet his fate.

"Hmm?"

Karl turned his head to look. It turned out that at some point, Crocodile had already arrived below the execution platform, preparing to save Ace.

Swish~

A brilliant blade light flashed, and Crocodile's Desert Gilded Blade turned into a pile of sand as soon as it appeared...

Gurgle, gurgle~

Ace's head hit the ground...

Thus, the posthumous son of Pirate King Roger, the son Whitebeard valued most, Luffy's brother, Garp's...

Execution successful.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. It wasn't until Ace's bloodied head rolled onto the ground that everyone reacted.

"Ace!!!" *N

Sengoku reacted quickly, shouting loudly into the broadcast Den Den Mushi: "Fire Fist Ace's execution is successful. All personnel, listen to my orders: annihilate all members of the Whitebeard Pirates!"

"Ohhh, woooo!!!"

With Fire Fist Ace dead, the Navy's morale soared, and they looked at the pirates with sharpened blades.

But the Whitebeard Pirates were ashen-faced. After putting in so much effort, they still couldn't save Ace...

Whitebeard covered his face, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly, "All members of the Whitebeard Pirates, listen to my orders: retreat!"

"Pops!!! But Ace was..."

"Yeah! How can we just leave Move Move Like this? Let's fight the Navy to the death! Avenge Ace!"

Whitebeard shook his head and looked at his sons with love: "No need. Since we can't save Ace, don't make any more pointless sacrifices."

"You all go!"

Marco's pupils shrank: "Us? Pops! What about you! Are you not coming with us?"

"Gurarara~ Silly sons, of course I'm staying behind to cover your retreat! Otherwise, the Navy won't let you retreat so easily!"

"You all go!"

"No!!! Pops! We want to fight alongside you! We are a family, aren't we?"

Bang~

Whitebeard slammed Murakumogiri into the ice.

"Are you even going to disobey your captain's orders now???"
