Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

"The pinnacle of the new generation of pirates?"

In the Navy camp, Smoker, with a cigar in his mouth, looked at Ace and Luffy in the distance and muttered to himself, "Fire Fist Ace is amazing, but he's not qualified yet."

"Fufufufu, how interesting, how interesting!"

On the warship, Doflamingo let out a strange laugh and said to the tall, gloomy figure in the shadows beside him, "That straw hat guy, isn't he the truly surprising one? He defeated you, what do you think, Moria?"

"Hehehehehe,"

Moria let out a sharp laugh, his giant scissors opening and closing in his hand. He was only somewhat surprised by Ace's background, but when Luffy was mentioned, his laughter was tinged with fear and hatred. "Straw Hat Luffy is indeed a monster!"

Even Garp, who was steadily marching towards the front lines, remained silent.

vertex?

Although Ace is highly talented, he still has a long way to go and is far from reaching the top.

But it's Luffy.

Garp's mind flashed back to the Sabaody Archipelago and his battle with Luffy. That brat, after such a short voyage and hardships, had undergone an amazing transformation!

That's the true talent to reach the pinnacle of the next generation of pirates, and they've even begun to radiate the aura of a king!

"Luffy is the man who is destined to become the Pirate King!"

On the warship, Hancock held her hands to her heart, gazing adoringly at Luffy's figure on the ice field, feeling as if her heart was about to drift away. "How dazzling, how powerful, how captivating! Ah~ I'm going to die."

Sengoku completed his pre-battle mobilization, and the morale of the navy was indeed ignited.

But at the same time, a more subtle emotion was also spreading in the hearts of many naval officers.

The most threatening opponent right now may not be the world's strongest man who has yet to appear, but rather this guy in front of us who just overturned Impel Down and has a terrifying background.

Straw Hat Boy, Monkey D. Luffy!

In fact, many high-ranking officials are looking for Karp.

What role do naval heroes play in this?

Will Garp also become a variable?

Monkey D., isn't the bloodline of this family terrifying enough?!

Just then, the communications soldier next to Sengoku approached with a look of fear and whispered something to him.

The next moment, Sengoku's face turned ashen at a visible speed, and veins even bulged on his forehead.

"A Den Den Mushi (snail phone) actually broadcasted everything that happened here to the Sabaody Archipelago in real time?! Who! Who?!"

For the first time, Sengoku's expression faltered. Had what he just said been broadcast live to the entire world?!

He clearly ordered all non-military communications to be cut off!

The initial intention of the Warring States period was indeed to announce these words to the world, but that was a plan for public executions, not for now!

Which bastard did this?!

At this moment, Buggy, the culprit, held the hot potato-like Den Den Mushi in his hands, looked at Sengoku's murderous expression on the other end, his throat moved with difficulty, and his legs began to go weak.

Ruined.

Ruined.

"Stop filming the Marines! I'll show you Luffy! Is he even safe right now?! Believe me or not, I'll fly over and kill you!"

The Den Den Mushi (snail phone) mimicked Vivi's anxious and beautiful face.

Are all the women in the Straw Hat crew this scary?

They kill people at the drop of a hat.

Buggy was almost in tears, his hands trembling as he strained to point the camera at Luffy in the center of the ice field: "It's safe, it's safe. He's definitely the safest person here!"

As he spoke, he prayed frantically in his heart:

Straw Hat Boy, you absolutely have to hold on!

If you fall, none of us who are following behind will survive!

News agency headquarters.

Morgans looked at the office that was almost torn to pieces by the vortex that Vivi unconsciously emitted. His heart ached with tears in his eyes, while he stared at the epic battlefield scene on the screen, his feathers trembling with excitement.

"Breaking news! Breaking news of the century!"

"The Navy is going to crush the brotherhood between the Pirate King and the Revolutionary Army's son!"

"Imperial Castle collapses, legendary pirates escape en masse! Blackbeard, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, is suspected of being defeated and killed! The Navy's strategy is forced to change!"

Each one of them is enough to shake the world!

Morgans read it from beginning to end, and it feels like he'll have plenty to say for the next year's front page headlines.

On the icy plains, Luffy adjusted his straw hat, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding navy fleet, which resembled an impenetrable fortress, before finally looking at Ace, his smile growing even brighter.

"So, our goal is to break through this group of people."

He paused, as if recalling a long time ago, at the final destination of uncertain things.

"How is it? It seems to be hundreds of times more difficult than what happened in Brugem."

Ace paused for a moment upon hearing this, then burst into laughter, "Yeah, are you ready?"

He raised his fist.

Luffy also raised his fist.

Two fists, in mid-air, gently collided, just as they had many years ago, with the same unchanging tacit understanding and bond.

The two brothers spoke in unison.

"We can break through!"

Chapter 354 The Path of a Man, Grandfather and Grandson Laughter

Boom!!

On the vast ice field battlefield, the first cannon shot tore through the air, announcing the start of this epic battle, later known as the Battle of Impel Down.

With the vast ice field created by Aokiji's Ice Age abilities as a foothold, the elite naval forces, who were previously unable to deploy formations on warships, were finally able to set foot on solid ground and quickly enter their most proficient land combat formations.

"All units! Deploy according to the pre-arranged battle formation!"

Armed with various weapons, the elite naval personnel surged in an orderly fashion toward the very center of the ice field. Their target was the sinful blood brothers whose shocking past had just been revealed!

Luffy glanced at them and said, "They're really going all out. Are they Grandpa's men?"

“Grandpa…” Ace looked at the approaching figure, his feelings complicated.

The group of sailors charged over, shouting loudly.

The pre-battle declaration from the Warring States period had also stirred their blood; eliminating these two evil bloodlines was the justice they were upholding!

Most importantly, they had Vice Admiral Garp in front of them!

"Kill these two brothers who inherited the most evil bloodline in the world, for justice!"

"Following Vice Admiral Garp!!!"

"Our first target is just ahead—Straw Hat Luffy!"

"All personnel, prepare for a fight to the death!"

Slogans, roars, the sound of metal scraping against metal, the thunder of footsteps...

The navy, with overwhelming momentum, converged into a torrent of killing intent, sweeping towards Luffy and his crew.

At the very forefront of this torrent was Garp, his imposing figure exuding an aura even more imposing than that of an admiral, as he strode forward step by step with heavy strides.

"Lieutenant General Garp, he's leading the way!"

A naval officer following closely behind looked at the broad, mountain-like figure ahead and felt an indescribable surge of excitement and reverence.

For countless ordinary naval soldiers, compared to Fleet Admiral Sengoku who strategized from the rear, Garp, who was active on the front lines year after year, was their spiritual pillar and faith!

That man used his iron fists to conquer the Grand Line and personally ended the legend of the previous era.

His deeds are known to everyone in the navy.

He pursued the Pirate King Gol D. Roger, repeatedly pushing him to the brink of defeat.

They defeated the arrogant Rocks Pirates at God Valley.

He personally sent the legendary pirate Shiki to Impel Down from Marineford.

He captured countless pirates throughout his life!

The Fire Fist Ace, who was just revealed to be a descendant of the Pirate King, was his father, who was hunted by this hero and forced to hide, ultimately meeting his demise.

Straw Hat Luffy and Fire Fist Ace are just upstarts with the potential to reach the top!

Even the Pirate King has been executed, so why are we afraid of them?

A naval soldier was inexplicably moved as he watched Garp's retreating figure.

Garp's targets are undoubtedly Straw Hat Luffy and Fire Fist Ace.

"As expected of Vice Admiral Garp, he's facing the most dangerous person again!"

This is an influence that even the Warring States period couldn't match. Garp has unparalleled prestige in the Navy, and many people started to join the Navy after hearing the legend of the hero Garp.

However, something suddenly popped into the naval soldier's mind, reminding him of the words that Fleet Admiral Sengoku had used to communicate with the entire army via Den Den Mushi.

It wasn't just him.

Some overlooked details quietly crept into the minds of some meticulous naval officers.

"Wait, Monkey D. Luffy the Straw Hat and Monkey D. Dragon the Revolutionary...why do I feel like I've heard those names before?"

Monkey D. Luffy...

Monkey D. Dragon...
