Da da da!

Luffy used all his strength to rush up the passage to the execution platform; he was about to reach Ace.

boom! boom!

Luffy, who was charging forward headfirst, was punched and sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground.

"Cough cough..." He got up from the ground, looked up, and was filled with surprise.

He asked, puzzled, "Grandpa... why did you stop me? That's Ace!"

Garp, looking furious, stood in front of Luffy and said angrily, "Luffy, who told you to come here? Get out of here!"

"Grandpa, I'm sorry, I can't do it."

Luffy looked at Garp with utmost seriousness and said firmly:

"Ace is waiting for me to save him. Even you, Grandpa, can't stop me."

After he finished speaking, he rushed towards Garp and threw a punch.

boom!

Garp was sent flying by Luffy's punch, lying on the ground unable to get up, and could only watch helplessly as Luffy rushed towards the execution platform.

"Garp!" Sengoku was furious at what he saw; the old man was being far too blatant in holding back.

"Ace——"

Luffy made a final, powerful leap onto the execution platform, immediately knocking away the two executioners behind Ace.

"Luffy……"

Ace looked at Luffy with a mixture of excitement and worry. This was his younger brother, who was willing to risk his life for him.

Sengoku: "..." Did he think he was dead? They've already started reminiscing.

"Straw Hat Kid, you're courting death."

Sengoku looked down at Luffy beside him, transformed into the form of a giant Buddha, and slapped them down with his palm.

The execution platform was shattered. Luffy transformed into a giant balloon to block the attack, and he and Ace fell down with the broken platform.

The Whitebeard Pirates were invigorated at the sight; Ace had been rescued!

"666, looking at it this way... chew... so many people are... chew... releasing water..."

"The old man...chew...and Uncle Kizaru...chew, let's not even talk about it...Uncle Aokiji...chew...is obviously just slacking off..."

"Now that I see it, even Fleet Admiral Sengoku... Chew... went easy on Luffy... Chew... "

Gojo Satoru sat on a cloud, holding a bag of snacks in his arms, watching the battle below while eating and commenting.

"Mmm...yes, slurp...they look like they know a lot about social interactions...slurp..."

On the contrary, Akainu is not so good... He looks like a stubborn guy... *slurp*... Satoru... I want to eat too...

666 stared longingly at the bag in Gojo Satoru's arms, her mouth watering.

It wasn't very interested in the battle below; it had seen it before. The snacks were much more appealing, and Wu was deliberately tempting it!

"666, I'm... Chew... for your own good... Chew... cats can't eat... Chew... too many treats..."

Chew...you've already eaten a piece...chew...of the little cake..."

Gojo Satoru kept talking, eating and eating in front of 666, but didn't share a single bite with it.

"But I'm not a real cat! Satoru, can I have another Nanatsuji-ya manju?"

"Wu~ You're the best! I swear, what just happened will never happen again!"

666 looked pitifully at Gojou Satoru. It really didn't mean to smash the shop; it was just that the instinct of this shell was too strong.

"Alright... I'll forgive you this once since it's your first offense."

Gojo Satoru generously handed 666 a bag with the Nanatsujiya logo printed on it; giving him just one was too stingy, not his style.

Actually, he wasn't angry; he was just teasing 666. After all, he didn't have to pay for the damage to the store, so why should he be angry?

"!!!"

666 took the bag with a smug look on her face and said happily, "Wu, you're so kind!"

"Ace——"

Startled by the loud shout, 666 dropped the steamed bun in his hand.

666: !! !! A burst of tears??o·(? ??????????? )?o·?

Luffy's pupils were filled with crimson magma, which was about to fall on Ace.

He wanted to stand up and take Ace away, but he couldn't move and could only watch helplessly as Ace blocked his way.

Akainu's fist transformed into churning magma and struck Ace.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the two of them. Whether they were marines or pirates, they all knew that Portgas D. Ace's life was about to end.

As the dust settled, Akainu's figure reappeared in everyone's sight.

But to everyone's surprise, Akainu's attack was blocked, and Ace, who should have been dead, actually survived.

"Phew...that was close, I almost fell to the ground."

A clear voice rang out, and everyone then noticed that a child had appeared in front of Akainu at some point.

A white-haired, blue-eyed boy, who looked no more than seven or eight years old, had a particularly fat cat on his shoulder. People with good eyesight could even see that he seemed to be holding a steamed bun in his hand.

Silence... The air was deathly still; no one had expected things to turn out this way.

Whose child ran away? Is this a place for a child?

This was the thought of everyone present: a child suddenly appearing on the battlefield was too bizarre.

"Chew... Luckily I caught it. Wasting food is shameful."

After stuffing the steamed bun into his mouth, Gojo Satoru turned around to look at Luffy and Ace, who were standing there dumbfounded.

"Hi! Luffy, it's been a long time. How are you?"

Oh, that's not good. It's okay, you're not dead yet.

His self-answered question left everyone stunned, but one cannot afford to be distracted on the battlefield, and soon no one paid attention to the situation here.

"Waaaaah... Ace... You scared me to death... Waaaaah... What would I do if you died...?"

Luffy snapped out of his daze and burst into tears. He had been in despair just now, how could Ace leave him all alone!

"Waaaaah... Luffy... I'm sorry... Waaaah... I'll never leave you alone again..."

The two survivors embraced and wept bitterly, their cries echoing for miles.

Seeing this, Gojo Satoru excitedly took out his camera and started snapping photos of the two of them.

Akainu was furious at Gojo Satoru's behavior. Unlike those who didn't know the truth, he knew that this white-haired brat had blocked his attack.

Judging from what he just said, he came specifically to save Straw Hat Luffy. Maybe he's not a child at all, and his appearance is just because of the Devil Fruit.

666: ...That's the truth, bro.

"Pluto!"

Akainu's left hand, now transformed into lava, quickly extended and attacked Gojo Satoru. Regardless of who he was, at this moment he was on the side of the pirates, making him an enemy.

"Hiccup... Watch out!" Luffy shouted anxiously, forgetting his tears, when he saw Akainu launch a sneak attack.

"Oh my, that expression is pretty good too, click!"

Gojo Satoru acted as if he hadn't heard Luffy's words and continued taking pictures on his own.

"Quick, dodge... gaa..."

Ace noticed Akainu's actions and hurriedly reached out to pull Gojo Satoru away, but was pulled away instead.

Not only did he fail to grab anyone, but Akainu's attack also missed, and the little boy stood unharmed in front of them.

"Oh dear, you old man, how could you launch a sneak attack? Don't you know how to respect the elderly and care for the young?"

How could you lay a hand on a child like me? That's outrageous, absolutely outrageous!

Gojo Satoru put away his camera, turned around and pointed at Akainu. He decided to hate Akainu because he didn't know how to respect the elderly and care for the young!
