The sudden turn of events left everyone dumbfounded!

No one could have predicted such an outcome!

Everyone was pale and horrified!

In this battlefield on the summit, they had long been accustomed to shocking scenes, but compared to this moment, those scenes seemed so insignificant!

"Hey... what's going on? What just happened? Did you see it clearly? A flash of light, a burst of flame... what was that?!"

"No... I didn't see anything clearly at all. I only saw Akainu fly away..."

"Ace...Ace survived! Such a close punch, whose speed was that? Who was faster than light?!"

Upon witnessing this scene, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates spoke with trembling voices, unable to calm their emotions.

That's right, no one saw clearly what happened!

That's too fast! That's too fast!

Akainu's fist was only a hand's width away from Ace, and it was falling at high speed!

Almost everyone thought there was no chance of a miracle! Ace was about to be pierced through the body!

But a miracle still happened, and it happened so suddenly that no one knew what it was!

Marco and Jinbe opened their mouths, unable to speak for a long time. Ace... was saved?

In the blink of an eye, Akainu slammed violently into the encirclement wall!

Ace, however, was completely unharmed by the punch!

The navy personnel and Whitebeard on the other side also witnessed this scene, and immediately there was an uproar!

"General Sakazuki has been knocked away by something..."

"what exactly is it……"

"That speed looks so familiar..."

Kizaru, lying on the stretcher, raised his head slightly and murmured something.

Garp's gloomy expression turned into surprise and confusion. Everyone stopped and wanted to see what the person who attacked Akainu looked like!

who is it?

But when everyone saw a huge blue flame not far above Ace, their eyes trembled slightly!

This blue flame...

"Ah... thank goodness I made it in time! This ability actually came in at the crucial moment!"

A voice slowly drifted out from within that enormous ball of blue flame.

As the flames spread, at their core, a figure appeared—a god in the eyes of pirates, and a devil in the eyes of the navy.

Upon recognizing the figure's face, the entire Whitebeard Pirates took a deep breath, then beamed with joy! They exclaimed in delight!

"It's him! That kid!"

"Pot lid hairstyle!"

"It's him again! Bowl cut, you saved Ace and the others! You're amazing!"

"Well done! Absolutely amazing! Bowl cut! You knocked out a Marine Admiral!"

Yes, amidst the flames, a person unfurled a pair of azure fiery wings...

It was Su Mu, who was a short distance away from Akainu just a second ago!

"It's that brat again!!"

"Why is that kid everywhere?!"

Sengoku's face darkened again as he struggled to suppress his anger, which was nearing its limit!

This brat, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, always manages to show up at the crucial moment and ruin their plans! How could he not be furious?!

Meanwhile, the white-bearded man beside him looked at Su Mu and couldn't help but give a wry smile.

"How did this kid manage to catch up..."

Just now, when Akainu threw his punch, he saw that Su Mu was still some distance away from him. How did he catch up in the blink of an eye?

"You're getting more and more unpredictable, kid."

……

"Wow! As expected of Luffy's second uncle, he's been a huge help..."

Above Ace, Su Mu clapped his hands and breathed a sigh of relief, then couldn't help but sigh again.

"I have to say it, but I suspect that guy used to be called Monkey D. Kizaru. That was absolutely brilliant!"

Su Mu smiled slightly and looked at his hands.

How did he get here?

Just now, Su Mu rushed towards Akainu below at full speed. When he saw Akainu throw a punch, he was still a little distance away from him.

Su Mu panicked. According to his top-notch physics knowledge, the time it takes for a punch to land is far shorter than the time it takes for him to rush over with all his might.

Before he could stop him, Ace was pierced through the body!

Just when all the efforts were concentrated in this moment and it was hanging by a thread, time seemed to stand still.

Then, a voice appeared in his mind:

"Ding! God's Hand successfully copied!"

"I have obtained all of Monkey D. Huang's... ptooey, ptooey, I have obtained Borsalino's abilities! I have obtained the power of the Glint-Glint Fruit and enhanced it..."

Su Mu suddenly realized that when he punched Kizaru away, he had touched Kizaru's head with his hand!

This is how the Hand of God was successfully activated.

But why couldn't I replicate it when I clashed fists with Sengoku? Could it be that the layer of Buddha's light on Sengoku's skin was blocking it?

However, having copied and enhanced Kizaru's Glint-Glint Fruit ability, gaining speeds exceeding those of light, he easily caught up with him!

Thinking about it, Su Mu couldn't help but look at the yellow ape lying obediently on a stretcher on the other side of the crack in the distance.

As expected of a top-notch actor, even while lying on a stretcher, he can still be of help.

"Oh dear, that was so close! We almost failed. It's such a shame."

Su Mu let out a long sigh and touched his chest.

"But thankfully, my arrival here has ultimately changed something."

"Ace!"

At this moment, Marco's shout from below brought Su Mu back to his senses.

Marco, Jinbe, and some other members of the pirate crew arrived at Ace's side.

"Are you alright? Ace, are you hurt?"

Jinbe quickly stepped forward to examine Ace's body.

"No, it's okay..."

Ace exhaled, his eyes trembling slightly, and answered in an unsteady voice and breath.

Cold sweat beaded on his forehead. Just now, he had clearly felt the giant magma fist behind him, and images of his own fate had already surfaced in his mind.

It was as if these things were predetermined.

Now, although he is still alive and well standing here, his heart feels as if he has just walked through the gates of hell.

It's as if I, in another world, am already dead.

"It's great that you're not injured. That kid really helped a lot!"

Upon hearing Ace's reply, Marco disregarded whether Ace and Luffy were injured and engulfed them in a blue flame.

"Yeah, that kid is practically the Whitebeard Pirates' lucky charm. Without him, rescuing Ace wouldn't have been easy."

Jinbe couldn't help but sigh as well.

"Ace..."

On the floor, Luffy tried to recover slightly from the exhaustion in his body. He looked up and saw Ace standing in front of him, and he also let out a weak shout.

Then, as if he had found a safe haven, he relaxed all his vigilance and fell asleep next to Ace's legs.

Perhaps, for Luffy, the sense of security that Ace provided as his older brother was unparalleled.

Indeed, that was the case; Ace was willing to sacrifice his own life to protect Luffy.

Ace looked at Luffy, who had quickly fallen asleep at his feet, and knew that his younger brother had expended too much energy to save him.

Immediately, he picked Luffy up and carried him on his back.

Just like when the two of them were kids.

Upon seeing this, Ivankov slowly breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but smile slightly:

"The Straw Hat Boy's choice that cost him his life has paid off. That's great, Ace and he are still alive."
