Chapter 981: Monkey and Buddha
Zoro, who was originally lost on the battlefield, had somehow broken through the navy's defense and arrived at the bottom of the execution platform. This way of getting lost was simply unheard of.
The navy was also very puzzled, looking at the green algae-headed creature that appeared and disappeared out of nowhere with doubt and surprise in their eyes.
“When did this guy get here?”
"I don't know! I didn't notice it at all..."
"Can you hold on, A-He?"
"certainly!"
After responding to Sengoku softly, Vice Admiral Tsuru, who was guarding under the execution platform, slowly walked forward and greeted Luffy and the others.
Vice Admiral Tsuru was also a famous female navy officer when she was young. Although she is already in her sixties or seventies this year and has been a staff officer for decades, her martial arts skills have never fallen behind, and when she deals with those young boys every day, her movements are still so quick and decisive.
"What are you doing there, you green algae-head?" Sanji, who came over, was confused. We are rescuing people now, every second counts, and you're still not here even though you're here?
"Idiot! Look at the situation first! This old woman is not someone you can easily mess with..."
Zoro had three knives in his hands and on his mouth, but he was hesitating around the execution platform and didn't dare to move forward. The beast's vision told him that the person in front of him was more troublesome than Smoker, whom he had just faced!
"Old woman! Get out of the way!" Luffy shouted as he ran.
Unfortunately, Vice Admiral Tsuru remained indifferent. He just stood there quietly, his eyes ragged and unperturbed, looking at Luffy's rushing figure, and whispered: "Garp's grandson? He acts just as impetuous as him, and doesn't know how to respect the elderly and love the young at all!"
"Luffy, what should we do?"
Among these people, Sanji doesn't kick women, Zoro doesn't wield his sword at the old, the weak, the sick, the disabled, and the young, and although Franky and Brook are perverts and skeletons, they are not the type to attack the elderly.
Even though they knew that this old woman could probably beat five grown men with one hand, they still couldn't get over the thought of attacking such an elderly person.
Fortunately, Luffy is among them!
In order to save Ace, he even dared to beat his grandfather!
Of course Luffy wouldn't hit an old man, so he made a better decision: "Please stop him for me! I want to go up and save Ace!!"
“Eh??! Are you kidding me?!”×4
Before Zoro and the other three could react, Luffy raised his hands high and stretched them towards the support of the execution platform. After grabbing the support, he rushed up like a rocket launcher and bypassed Vice Admiral Tsuru who was dozens of meters away.
“That guy…”
"How cunning! Yohohoho..."
"Forget it, covering the captain's actions is what our crew members should do!!" At this time, Zoro was more aware. He chopped down the Sandai Kitetsu in his hand in mid-air, and it collided with the blade of a rear admiral who came to support.
"'Pirate Hunter' Roronoa Zoro... I never thought you would fall to this level!!"
"It seems that I am quite famous..."
Clang! Clang! Clang!!
The men slashed at each other quickly a few more times, and the blades left afterimages in their hands, as if seven or eight swords were fighting at the same time. For a moment, the two sides were in a stalemate.
"Thank you for showing up, otherwise I really don't know how to deal with the old lady..."
Upon hearing this, the Rear Admiral immediately sneered, "What are you thinking? You think you can take down Vice Admiral Tsuru with just a bunch of pirates who haven't even been to the New World? Wait and see!"
Zoro's heart skipped a beat, and then he exerted force with both hands, and the blade shook and jumped away. He looked back and when he saw the scene behind him, he couldn't help but yelled: "What are you three doing?!"
It turned out that behind him, Sanji, Franky and Brook had already fallen down, and were now lying in a row, their bodies shining like clean clothes.
"It's over... I'm totally no match for him..."
"I'm ashamed of being a pervert..."
“I feel like my body has been purified…”
Seeing this scene, Zoro was so shocked that he almost couldn't hold the knife: "A special ability user?? What a trouble..."
After thinking for a moment, he chopped at the major general who had just used the sword.
"Well... Luffy has already gone up, so it's safer for me to fight against such an opponent."
On the other side, Luffy, who was rushing to the execution platform, also noticed the changes below, but he believed that his partner would be fine, so he continued to climb up like a monkey climbing a tree. Relying on his agile movements and the ability of the rubber fruit, he reached the execution platform in no time.
"Ahe didn't stop him either? It seems he let it go..."
Zhan Guo murmured, looking at Luffy who had finally climbed here, and felt angry: The Monkey family, they are all so troublesome! !
"Ace!! I'm here to save you now!" Luffy didn't have the key and couldn't unlock Ace, so he could only carry him on his back, "Come on, get on my back!"
"Idiot! What are you doing here?!" Ace was very anxious and shouted at Luffy.
The two brothers staged a tragic drama, even completely ignoring the furious Zhan Guo standing beside them.
This made Sengoku at the side couldn't help but twitch his lips. If 'Fire Fist' Ace was rescued by 'Straw Hat' Luffy like this, what face would the navy have?
So Zhan Guo moved, he instantly transformed into a giant golden Buddha, and swung his palm with force!
"Oh no! Get out of the way!" Ace thought to himself that something bad was going to happen and shouted at Luffy.
Luffy was horrified, staring at the golden light that suddenly rose next to him and was stunned: "What?! When did this person appear here?!"
Warring States: "..."
Everyone: “…”
Before Luffy could prepare his defense, a large hand smacked him hard on the butt.
BANG!!
There was a flash of light, and Luffy broke through the air like a cannonball, flew straight from above the execution platform to the center of the square, and landed heavily on the ground, creating a large hole.
The pirate forces all sighed in their hearts: "Sure enough... I knew it wouldn't be that easy!"
Monkey, you can never escape from Buddha's palm!
If a kid who had just been at sea for less than two months could so easily save people in front of the Navy Admiral, it would have to be the blessing of the Sun God.
"My butt hurts..."
Luffy turned over, got up from the ground, tears in his eyes, and rubbed his butt with one hand, just like when he was a child and was beaten by his grandfather.
"Why do I feel pain?! I'm made of rubber..."
Everyone around was silent: This kid, doesn't he even know Haki? How did such a guy break through the navy's defenses and reach the execution platform...? ! !
Luffy looked up and found that he was the only one who had been beaten. Ace was still kneeling on the execution platform, looking at him anxiously.
"This is even further away from Ace... We have to find a way to remove Ace's handcuffs!!"
"Failed? That Straw Hat Boy..."
Whitebeard stared blankly at what was happening in the square, his eyes a little dim and his tone slightly lost.
After Gildarts entered the scene, he quickly saw the noise made by the other party, as well as Luffy and others following behind him. Thanks to Luffy's noise and his sons' reminders, he quickly realized that these were allies, so he ordered everyone to cooperate with this surprise force.
When Whitebeard saw Gildarts holding Garp back and Luffy rushing to the execution platform, he really had the idea that "maybe it could work", but the following changes dashed his original expectations.
Unfortunately, Sengoku's strength is ultimately not comparable to Luffy's at this stage.
The extreme emotional strain made this old man, who was already in his twilight years, feel overwhelmed. He lost consciousness and was successfully attacked by Akainu's Hellhound.
The scorching hot magma whizzed past his head, and although Whitebeard finally reacted, he was still a step too slow and half of his shoulder was burned.
“Dad!!”
The pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates screamed in horror and tried to rush back to support, but their opponents seized the opportunity and hit them all with a series of attacks.
In an instant, the battle situation for the pirates took a sharp turn for the worse.
