Pirates: Building a Pirate Family.

At this time, Akainu was standing tall far away in the port. When he saw Luffy suddenly appear, his face instantly turned gloomy.

“It turned out to be this guy!”

Akainu muttered to himself through gritted teeth.

"He is not only the grandson of the hero Garp, but also the biological son of the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon!"

Thinking of this, Akainu's eyes became more and more cold and terrifying, like two sharp blades with cold rays, stabbing straight at Luffy and the group of prisoners who had just successfully escaped from Impel Down.

"It seems that we must completely wipe out this guy along with these criminals today!"

As Akainu pondered secretly, he exuded a chilling and fierce murderous intent.

On the execution platform, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed as if water could drip out.

Sengoku frowned tightly, staring at the group of densely packed prisoners behind Luffy with sharp eyes.

His eyes finally fell on one of the figures - Jinbei.

"How unfortunate that you got mixed up with that lawless Straw Hat Luffy! Is this your response, Jinbei?"

Sengoku asked angrily, and at the same time turned his sharp gaze to Jinbe, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, who was standing beside him.

As one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Jinbei should have been assisting the navy in maintaining order at sea, but at this moment he openly associated with pirates. This behavior was simply a provocation to the authority of the navy and a serious crime that Sengoku would never tolerate or forgive.

Facing Zhan Guo's questioning, Jin Ping's face was as calm as water, but there was a firm light in his eyes.

He spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful: "That's right, Marshal Sengoku, I have decided not to serve as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea anymore!"

Hearing this, Zhan Guo was shocked.

He knew very well that Jinbei was not an impulsive person, and he must have had well-thought-out reasons for making such a resolute decision.

However, Zhan Guo was still unwilling to give up on winning back this once capable partner.

"Jinbei, have you really forgotten who you are? Do you still remember why you chose to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea? Also, how could you not care about the safety of Fishman Island?"

Sengoku tried earnestly to convince Jinbe to change his mind.

After all, for the navy, losing a powerful Shichibukai is no small matter.

But Jinbei remained unmoved. He stood up straight and answered righteously, "No, Marshal Sengoku, I have never forgotten it. It's just that Fishman Island is no longer what it used to be. With the help of the Rockefeller Kingdom, it is gradually growing stronger. Many powerful masters have emerged on our island. They are fully capable of dealing with various crises that Fishman Island may face at any time. Therefore, Fishman Island no longer needs my protection."

Having said that, Jinbei paused for a moment, then continued, "And now, I will fight for the chivalry in my heart!"

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderclap out of nowhere, exploding in everyone's ears.

Zhan Guo's heart sank, knowing that Jinpei had made up his mind and there was no turning back.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Luffy like a spotlight. However, no one noticed that a dark shadow was quietly approaching Whitebeard.

"Where's Crocodile?"

Bucky lurked quietly in a corner.

Suddenly, as if remembering something extremely important, Buggy raised his head sharply and looked straight in the direction of Whitebeard.

It turned out that he remembered that Crocodile had threatened to take off Whitebeard's head not long ago.

So he subconsciously turned his head, trying to confirm Crocodile's whereabouts.

It would have been fine if he hadn't looked at it, but once he did, Bucky turned pale with fright.

Crocodile rushed towards Whitebeard like an arrow.

"This madman actually dared to seek death!"

Buggy screamed and quickly covered his head with both hands, as if the world was going to fall apart in the next second.

Buggy's scream was particularly abrupt in the noisy battlefield, instantly attracting the attention of the people around him.

When Luffy heard the noise, he immediately turned around and looked in the direction Buggy pointed.

At this glance, Luffy saw that Crocodile was like a ferocious falcon, spreading his wings, swooping down, aiming directly at Whitebeard.

At the same time, people from the navy also noticed this sudden change and were all dumbfounded.

"Oh no, Crocodile is going after Whitebeard!"

Someone shouted.

At this time, Crocodile had already flown behind Whitebeard.

He raised the golden hook in his hand, which was gleaming with cold light, with a ferocious smile on his face, and said provocatively: "Long time no see, Whitebeard! Today is the day you die!"

Faced with Crocodile's arrogant provocation, Whitebeard didn't even bother to turn his head back. He just snorted coldly and said, "You don't know how to live or die, or you still don't remember?"

Crocodile did not respond to the other party's words. He just raised the golden hook in his hand that was shining with cold light without saying a word, and made a posture as if he was about to smash it down with great force, as if he was going to give a fatal blow to the person in front of him.

However, just when everyone thought that the blow was about to fall, something unexpected happened.

In an instant, a figure as fast as lightning appeared beside Crocodile without warning.

Accompanied by a sharp sound of breaking through the air, a foot kicked towards Crocodile like a storm.

Because the incident happened too suddenly, Crocodile had no time to react and was kicked directly by the sudden kick.

The huge impact force made him lose his balance instantly, and his body rolled backwards involuntarily, like a cannonball, sliding rapidly along the ground, rolling dozens of meters away before barely stopping.

After finally steadying his body, Crocodile raised his head in astonishment, his eyes fixed on the man who suddenly appeared behind Whitebeard - Luffy.

At this moment, Luffy was standing there with a determined look on his face, with a faint black light flowing above his legs, and it was obvious that he had already displayed the Armament Haki.

Seeing this, Crocodile couldn't help but frowned, thinking to himself: "I didn't expect this kid to be able to use Armament Haki so skillfully..."

Recalling the last fierce battle with Luffy in Alabasta, Crocodile's face became increasingly gloomy.

At that time, he didn't take Luffy, a young boy who had just started out, seriously at all. He just thought of him as a little toy that he could play with when he was bored.
