I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt a pang of fear and anxiety... He no longer had the patience to slowly attack Whitebeard with his gun.

"But... Whitebeard's injuries are serious, but they're not fatal, are they?" Burgess glanced at Whitebeard, somewhat hesitant.

"There's no time." A fierce glint flashed across Blackbeard's face; he was remarkably decisive in this situation.

"Today is the best chance to kill Whitebeard. If we miss it, or are too slow... we'll lose everything!"

"Since you boarded my ship in the first place, you must have been prepared to risk your life, right?"

Without waiting for his companions to respond, he gritted his teeth, a large patch of dense darkness emanating from his body, and was the first to rush forward.

"Dad, you who were once the strongest in the world are now old and weak... So, you might as well die sooner!"

Blackbeard grinned maliciously, and darkness suddenly erupted from his fist like a tidal wave.

Blackbeard made no attempt to conceal his actions, but few noticed at the moment. When the Hades Cannon fired, the focus of the battlefield had shifted from Whitebeard and Roger to the execution platform.

Luffy took the lead, reacting the fastest, and had already rushed to the front of the crowd, with Law close behind.

"Almost there..." Luo murmured to himself.

"After specialized training in our abilities, the maximum radius of the ROOM has increased threefold from the original 50 meters to 200 meters."

"I don't need to engage in direct combat with the Fleet Admiral at all!"

As Luo was pondering this, Luffy's figure flickered in front of him, and he rushed up the steps leading to the execution platform at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye.

"Ace------"

Luffy shouted, but at that moment a tall and strong figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Grandpa, get out of the way!" Luffy paused for a moment.

"It's the hero, Vice Admiral Garp!"

"That's right, there's still hope... With Vice Admiral Garp and Fleet Admiral Sengoku overseeing the execution platform, what does it matter if there's no one to support us from the surrounding area?"

The sailors' faces lit up with joy, completely oblivious to the sorrow on the face of their hero, Garp.

"Straw Hat Luffy!" Garp gritted his teeth and roared:

"If you want to get through here, step over my dead body!"

"What a naval hero who put family aside for the greater good," Sig murmured in admiration, glancing around at his surroundings.

At this moment, only Garp and Sengoku were on the execution platform, and Momousagi was the only Marine nearby.

The Seastone shackles can't restrain Sigurd. Now, after the Hades bombardment, if Sigurd were to unlock them now, he would only have Garp and Sengoku left as his enemies... Well, that's still quite a challenge.

At the same time, if he breaks free now, the secret that Seastone is ineffective against Sigurd will be exposed.

The idea of ​​making billions by capturing the mountain bandit king seven times is completely useless—of course, this is just a joke, and who would take such an absurd thing as "capturing the mountain bandit king seven times" seriously... Sig's real intention is to wait a few more seconds to observe the situation and wait for the right opportunity to make a move.

So... Sigurd decided to wait for the right opportunity, hoping that Law and Luffy could successfully rescue him and Ace, so that the secret wouldn't be exposed.

At this moment, Garp clenched his fist, which was as big as a casserole dish, but he didn't throw it. It was as if he had suddenly frozen in place, preparing to take Luffy's punch head-on...

"Garp, that's enough!"

At that moment, Sengoku suddenly let out a loud shout.

His face was grim, clearly having seen through Garp's intentions.

At that moment, he flashed, grabbed Garp by the back of his collar, and his body rapidly swelled into the form of a giant Buddha.

boom!

Luffy's punch missed Garp and instead landed directly on Sengoku's legs with a soft thud, but it did nothing to shake Sengoku's body.

"Karp! Go back here!"

"Warring States period," he said in a deep voice.

He grabbed Garp with his left hand and threw him backward, while simultaneously slamming his left palm downward.

"Three-stage Giant Balloon"

Luffy had just started blowing when Sengoku punched him, causing his bulging belly to deflate instantly, and blood gushed from his mouth.

The gigantic Luffy, with his enormous size, transferred the power of Sengoku's attack to the execution platform beneath his feet, causing it to collapse. Luffy then flew downwards like a meteor.

Sengoku transformed back into human form, landed on the ground, and frowned as he looked back at the collapsed execution platform behind him.

Chapter 1145 The Mountain Bandit King Escapes (3k)

The navy's execution platform was built on a high platform in front of the main fortress, and it collapsed when the platform was destroyed.

Garp used Moonwalk to leap with two prisoners to the high platform below.

Sengoku, meanwhile, fell down the broken execution platform steps, still some distance from Garp and the others.

"Garp, you are to execute him immediately!"

The Warring States period issued a cold order.

But as soon as she spoke, seeing Garp's suddenly pale face, her heart softened slightly.

Sengoku had seen Garp's reaction earlier, but after all, they were comrades-in-arms for many years, and Sengoku still felt somewhat reluctant to give him the order to personally execute his own grandson.

“Fine... Gion, you shall execute the prisoner!” Sengoku then spoke.

At this moment, Momousagi was also nearing the execution platform. She had dodged the previous cannon fire and was in good condition. She rushed over upon hearing Sengoku's order.

Luo Jingjing watched this scene unfold beneath the collapsed execution platform.

"Although he didn't rescue anyone, he at least drew Sengoku and Garp's attention and lured Sengoku away... This distance is enough!"

Law and Sigurd had a deal: Law traded his heart for a chance to personally avenge Doflamingo in the future.

"Boss, you're not ready to die yet."

Luo's gaze sharpened, and he flipped his right palm downwards, a hollow vortex of energy immediately appearing from beneath his palm.

"ROOM!"

But just as the ROOM space was about to unfold, his body suddenly stiffened, several threads binding him, rendering him unable to move.

"Silk threads? Could this feeling be... JOKER?"

Luo suddenly realized something, and his face turned pale.

Doflamingo is the enemy who killed Corazon, and he has childhood trauma... but he is not ready to retaliate against Doflamingo at this moment.

Sure enough, a loud, arrogant laugh came from behind.

Luo shuddered as the silk threads on his body tugged at his head, forcing him to turn and look behind him.

A hundred meters away, Doflamingo spread his five fingers, and transparent puppet strings extended from his fingertips. He grinned and looked at Law.

"Law, is the Op-Op Fruit you stole from me still working?" Doflamingo asked sinisterly.

Although Doflamingo only had a superficial understanding of the Op-Op Fruit's abilities, he was still able to find out that Law's techniques during the North Blue era included "space transfer."

Doflamingo flicked his finger, and several spurts of blood immediately flew out from Law's body.

"Fufufufufu... I originally wanted Sig to watch you die from up there... but now it seems I should see how Sig dies first."

Doflamingo grinned.

Compared to Law, who was already captured and powerless to resist, Doflamingo harbored a deeper hatred for Higuma and was even more determined to see him die.

far away.

"The rescue failed... Law and Straw Hat Luffy both failed, and Sengoku has issued an order for their early execution..." Gilman's voice lost its previous composure, and his face turned somewhat ashen.

"No...it hasn't failed yet." The bald man next to him shook his head, his fist clenching tightly.

"There's one last person left."

The two stood side by side, looking up at the foot of the collapsed execution platform in the distance.

At this moment, Garp was standing beside two prisoners, his expression somber.

“Execution... Yes, Zhan Guo is right, execution is necessary.”

Garp's hands trembled slightly.

He had finally waited for this moment to arrive.

At least... he didn't have to kill his own grandson, so it's not too bad, right?

Garp's face was ashen, and he was somewhat lost in thought. He stared blankly as Momousagi rushed over to help, completely unaware that a tall, blond figure had silently appeared behind him.

The man was strong and broad-chested, with short blond hair, and held an exaggerated and ferocious giant axe in his hand.

Axe King Monka!

Despite his towering stature and the enormous weapon he wielded, he moved with unparalleled stealth, remaining completely unnoticed by Sengoku and Garp.

He is a user of the Silence-Silence Fruit, which allows him to move silently and has a very low profile. Despite carrying a giant axe, he can move quietly through a battlefield teeming with people.

The next moment, Morgan swung his giant axe, which was wrapped in Armament Haki, and slammed it down heavily towards Garp's back!

With a swift movement, the axe fell!

A spurt of blood shot out from Garp's back!

Garp's eyes widened in shock as a tremendous force struck him from behind. He staggered, his body collapsing to the ground and tumbling down the steps, crashing heavily to the ground.

"Hero Garp... he's fallen?"

"This...how is this possible?"

"Wait... could that person be Axe King Morgan?"

The Marines gasped in surprise; this wasn't the first time Morgan had slashed Garp, and his movements were quite practiced.

Ten years ago, Sengoku had seen this person in person in the Sabaody Archipelago, and afterwards he learned about this person's abilities from the records.

"Rosinante's Silence Fruit..." Sengoku's heart skipped a beat, but his hands moved quickly. He transformed into a giant Buddha once more and strode over, his massive shadow enveloping Morgan, Sigurd, and the others.

"You actually managed to fool me... but don't even think about interfering with the execution!"

"This is the Marine Headquarters, a place of justice! Interfering with an execution is a capital offense!"

The golden Buddha glared angrily, its enormous hands shimmering with golden light. It didn't mind killing Monka and Sig with its own hands at this moment!
