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

A hissing sound.

A figure flew over his head.

Crocodile subconsciously raised his head and saw the familiar straw hat flash past and disappear into the thick dust not far away.

Thinking of the woman's voice I just heard.

Crocodile slowly narrowed his eyes: "Put your hope of saving people on that kid?"

Crocodile, who was defeated by a junior, not only did not hold any grudge against Luffy, but actually admired that boy.

After all, that kid had a charm that even he could admire.

And this charm can easily gather strength and even turn enemies into friends.

"Fufufufu~ Is that the boy who defeated you? I didn't expect Zheniya to put her hope in such a fledgling brat~"

No matter what he thought in his heart, Crocodile still didn't have a good attitude towards Luffy on the surface.

He turned his head, holding a cigar in his mouth, and looked cool from the beginning to the end: "I don't look down on anyone": "Why is it you again?"

He could stand it just by the tone of his voice. Crocodile was annoying him to no end.

"Don't be so cold, fufufufu~ Or are you planning to dump me and work with someone else?"

Crocodile said with a cold face: "I remember that I rejected your proposal a long time ago."

Doflamingo didn't care about his cold refusal: "Fufufufu~, what? After being defeated by a kid, did you even lose your pursuit?"

Crocodile narrowed his eyes and suddenly smiled sarcastically: "Although that woman is indeed unlikable, she still has good taste."

He raised his eyebrows arrogantly: "What? Didn't you keep saying that that woman is your princess? Are you planning to break up with her now?"

Doflamingo's eyes slowly narrowed under his sunglasses: "Do you think a mere woman can influence my decision?"

When it comes to ridicule, Crocodile believes that he can't lose to anyone.

The one who flirts first is cheap. Doflamingo doesn't listen to what he says, so don't blame him for retaliating with tit for tat: "Ha~ you think too highly of yourself."

"What? Has being the king for several years made you drift? Does that kind of woman need to influence your decision? If she wants to, she can easily change your decision."

"You can't even beat a woman, why do you want me to cooperate with you?"

Doflamingo:...

Okay, very good.

This bastard actually stepped on his face.

Although being beaten by a woman he likes can be regarded as fun, it must not be used as a reference to outsiders.

At this point, the two broke down again and started fighting.

On Luffy's side, he screamed through the smoke, and was caught by a big hand the next second.

Luffy, who was hanging upside down by his legs:? ? ?

"Roger, let go of my grandson."

"This is not possible, I will send this kid to the execution platform!"

Luffy raised his head hard when he heard the voice and saw an unfamiliar face.

He blinked, feeling that the uncle carrying him looked a bit like...

Roger had long felt the gaze on his face, followed the gaze, and met Luffy's eyes.

Roger bared his big white teeth and said, "I've heard about you kid for a long time, and today I can finally talk to you."

Luffy: "Huh? Who are you, uncle?"

"Roger! Ace's father..." Roger looked at Luffy up and down, a little confused: "Your grandfather is an old man named Garp, and I am from the same generation as Garp... and you are Ace. Si’s adopted brother…”

How to talk about the title?

This is very frustrating!

Roger's expression was tangled up. He was very bad at thinking about such problems.

However, before Roger could clarify the relationship, Luffy answered him first: "Are you Gol D. Roger? I hate you..."

Roger: "...Hey hey hey???" He pointed at his face in disbelief: "Why do you hate me?"

Luffy remained hanging upside down with his arms folded across his chest, and said seriously, "Because Ace hates you."

This is the answer, very simple and logical.

Roger:…

Very good, it’s that unfilial son again.

"I am the Pirate King."

"So what? Ace hates you, and I hate you."

"...don't you want to find the big secret treasure I left behind?"

"I will find the One Piece and become the Pirate King."

"You want to defeat me?"

"I will defeat you and become the Pirate King." Taking a deep breath, he shouted: "I am the man who wants to become the Pirate King!"

Roger:…

He said he wanted to become the Pirate King in front of the current Pirate King. This kid... was brave enough.

he likes.

Roger chuckled, making Luffy look confused.

"Then try to survive, kid! I'm waiting for you to challenge me in the new world, but now..."

Roger grabbed one of Luffy's legs and made a gesture of throwing it.

On the opposite side, Garp was about to praise his grandson, "As expected of his grandson, he really hates that bastard Roger," but the next second he heard Luffy's words about defeating the current Pirate King and ascending to the throne of the Pirate King.

Karp: ...

Before he could get angry and teach his disobedient grandson a lesson, he saw Roger making a throwing motion.

Garp's eyes widened with a 'bridge bean sack' expression.

"Luffy..." Before Jichan could finish his words, he was pushed into the ground of Oris Square by the overwhelming number of souls flying over.

Karp: ...

Roger didn't care about him and threw Luffy towards the execution platform with a wave of his hand.

"I'll leave it to you, kid, Ace."

Sengoku, who was fighting Newgate, turned around and saw Luffy flying towards the execution platform. He immediately became anxious: "Sakaski, stop him, quickly!"

Sakaski said, I wanted to move, but Marco was watching too closely and couldn't move my hands at all.

With everyone watching, Luffy flew straight towards the execution platform.

Luffy, who was thrown out like a human cannonball, not only did not feel scared, but also laughed happily after realizing that he was getting closer and closer to Ace. While laughing, he shouted the name of the shocked person on the execution platform in surprise: " Ace~I’m here to save you!”

Ace: "...You guys are too messy."

Luffy: "Chihehehe~"

With the full restraint of Whitebeard and the members of the Roger Pirates, no one bothered Luffy to save people this time.

After successfully landing on the execution platform, Luffy hurriedly took out the key that Hancock had given him at the beginning.

The pirates in the audience cheered after seeing this move, because Ace was about to be rescued, and their purpose of coming here was about to be achieved.

However, just when Hailoushi's key was about to be inserted into the keyhole, several bullets shot through the sky.

"Luffy! Be careful!"

Luffy felt his eyes go dark, and his smiling face was suddenly sprayed with blood.

A heavy body fell on his shoulders, and warm liquid flowed down from his shoulders.

Luffy's smile gradually solidified on his face, and his expression gradually became confused.

"Ace? Hey, Ace..."

"what happened to you?"

With trembling hands, he went to touch Ace's back, which was lying on top of him, but his tentacles were all scarlet red.

Luffy's pupils trembled violently.

Below, on the battlefield that had become extremely quiet due to this sudden change, Sachi suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs: "Marco, save people quickly!"
