Pirate: I'm not the King of the Sea, so don't mess with me.

The yellow laser was emitted from the mouth or palm of the human weapon, and the sound of bang bang bang explosions was endless.

On the battlefield, whenever the waves of explosions spread, a group of people would scream and fly up and down.

To deal with the absolutely strong, human weapons are naturally not enough, but to deal with ordinary pirates, they are almost like humanoid harvesters, causing heavy casualties wherever they go.

Newgate, who had long expected that the Navy had a backup plan, looked calm, but slightly narrowed his eyes to show his displeasure.

"Warring States, is this your plan?"

"If some unexpected guys hadn't suddenly appeared, these things would be enough to deal with you."

Seeing him gritting his teeth, Newgate suddenly burst into laughter.

The handle of the naginata cracked the ice beneath his feet: "In this sea, anything is possible, Sengoku!"

A rival for many years, Sengoku naturally knew what Newgate meant: "You are right!"

Warring States slowly narrowed his eyes: "So in order to avoid a worse situation from happening, we must adjust our tactics as soon as possible."

Under Newgate's gaze, Sengoku turned his head directly and gave an order in the direction of the execution platform: "Now, immediately, execute Fire Fist Ace."

The shout pierced the sky, passed through half of the battlefield, and accurately reached the execution platform.

It was also because of this order from the Warring States Period that the battlefield that had just been filled with ping-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-pong-rumbling action instantly fell silent.

Luffy, who was running among the crowd, was startled when he heard this, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the execution platform.

Two executioners holding long knives stepped forward and stood neatly on both sides of Ace.

The long knife shone coldly in the sunlight.

Everyone held their breath.

The long knives were crossed and placed above Ace's neck.

Ace closed his eyes, kneeling there with a slightly unwilling expression, quietly waiting for the death's scythe to fall.

Ace!

Although he knew that the Navy had already planned to execute Ace in advance.

But with a knife on the neck of a child he watched grow up, even an elder would be worried.

Zheniya's little hands clenched the small blanket of her shawl, and she couldn't help but stand up, looking eagerly at the situation over there.

If the distance is too far, any attack will lose its accuracy.

...It's not impossible to let go of your emotions and attack the executioner with the wind blade.

The knuckles of the little hands that were holding the blanket turned white, and the aqua blue eyes slowly turned gloomy.

No, wait a minute.

If Ace's death was really of great significance to the fate of the world, then he wouldn't have died so easily.

I can't remember the plot I've seen before, but Ace... will never be executed to death.

Everyone looked nervously in the direction of the execution platform, and some even called out Ace's name anxiously.

The inside of the bend is separated from Orlis Square where the execution platform is located by a tall wall. At this moment, everyone from the Whitebeard Pirates, Roger Pirates and the Navy are concentrated on the ice inside the bend. Even the captains If you want to save people, you can't do anything through a wall.

unless……

Suddenly, a blue-gold flame shot into the sky.

The clear cry of the phoenix filled the air.

The dazzling blue-gold light rushed straight towards the execution platform, and the power of a strong person quickly descended on the execution platform.

Even if they have undergone training and have excellent psychological quality, executioners rarely dare to face strong people.

The rapid wind pressure roared, bringing a terrifying sense of force.

The not-so-scorching flame burned violently, and finally hit with a loud bang...

"Akainu!"

The fiery red magma rose up from the ground and collided with the blue-gold phoenix, making a loud bang.

The aftermath of the power swept away, and the fight in just a short moment was huge.

The blue-gold and crimson-red were stagnant in mid-air for a while, and the blue-gold flames retreated.

In mid-air, the huge phoenix spread its wings, its sharp eyes fixed on Akainu Sakaski on the execution platform.

The gurgling magma poured down from the man's arm and landed on the edge of the execution platform, instantly melting the iron covering it, leaving a large hole full of burn marks.

"Although the ability of the flying fruit is a bit troublesome..."

Sakaski slowly narrowed his eyes, his rock-hard face full of killing intent: "Do you think you can succeed like this? You are too naive."

Sakaski was always there.

In other words, when he realized that the execution platform was empty in defense, he had been paying attention to it.

While Porusalino and Kuzan attracted most of the Roger Pirates' combat power, he climbed onto the execution platform, ready to take action at any time.

His feelings for Zenia are not enough reasons for a man like Sakaski to let loose.

No, to be precise, it was already the biggest betrayal that he did not kill Ace personally when the marshal gave the order.

Sakaski is such a man.

As long as he sets a goal, he will move forward unswervingly.

Although feelings can sway some of his decisions, they cannot shake this man's overall view.

The summary is that he could not kill Ace himself for Zenia's sake, but he would not stop others from killing him.

From his position as a general, if someone came to save Ace, he would stop them.

If someone defeats him and rescues Ace, he will not be unwilling to execute Ace.

Compared with the two colleagues below who are ready to let go, there are always people who have something to resist.

This man always clearly knows what he wants.

After looking at the phoenix in mid-air, which still wanted to save people, Sakaski suddenly raised his fist and rushed towards the phoenix's face with a fast and accurate shot of the Hades.

Marco dodged nimbly, with the bird's claws downwards, grabbing Sakaski.

The two fought near the execution platform.

With the protection of General Akainu, the executioner no longer hesitated, raised the long knife above his head, and the sharp blade cut through the air downwards, causing a trembling sound of the knife.

The blade was about to fall on Ace's neck.

Just when Zenia couldn't help but take action, and Roger, Rayleigh and Newgate couldn't help but unleash their domineering colors, the two sand blades were faster than everyone else, cutting through the edge of the execution platform and killing the two The executioner killed him with one blow.

The scene was silent for two seconds, and everyone looked in disbelief.

Crocodile, who had just made a move, turned from the shape of flying sand into a human form and landed on Little Oz's back. Crocodile was holding a cigar in his mouth, with an unruly look on his face. He turned his head and glanced at Straw Hat Luffy, who was looking at him blankly. He snorted softly and turned his gaze to the strong men below.

When he glanced over, the scene that had just been silent suddenly became an uproar.

Although neither the navy nor the pirates knew why Crocodile saved people, it did not prevent the Whitebeard Pirates from cheering.

Warring States asked with a serious expression: "I thought you would side with the navy because of your grudge against Whitebeard."

Crocodile snorted coldly and gave the answer: "Don't be so self-righteous. I just don't want to see your arrogant face."

Although there is no need for Whitebeard to be stabbed in the back and the exciting Crocodile to save people.

But obviously, based on Luffy's kindness for letting him out and his dislike of the navy, he still helped.

In short, from this moment on, he didn't owe that brat Straw Hat anything.

As for not liking the navy...

Sorry, for a man with a big cat personality like Crocodile, none of the people present are pleasing to him.

Luffy probably understood something, so he fastened the straw hat on his head, raised the corners of his mouth, and chuckled: "Thanks~"

On the other side, Zheniya clenched her small hand on her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Ace was rescued. He was really scared to death.

But then again, why did Crocodile want to save Ace?

She tilted her head and thought for a while, but before she could figure out the reason, the howling wind suddenly came from behind her.

Sensing the killing intent, Zheniya paused, dodged, and waved her hand at the same time. The person behind her who wanted to sneak attack her was knocked away by the invisible barrier.

The man crashed onto the deck of the Oro Jackson with a loud crash.

When the smoke and dust dispersed, a tall figure holding a long knife raised his head and said angrily: "It's you! It's indeed you! Even if you turn into ashes, I will recognize you!"

Zenia:......

He lowered his eyes and looked at that person for a long time.

Finally he asked hesitantly: "Are you... the Great Vortex Spider Skuard?"
