Chapter 39 It's just you?

a newspaper.

The huge page only reported two major events.

One was the incident in which the Golden Lion attacked the Navy headquarters, and the other was the incident in which the Navy announced the public execution of Fire Fist Ace, the captain of the second team under Whitebeard.

The former occupies a larger area, but Luffy locked the photo of Fire Fist Ace at a glance.

"Eh?"

When he saw the words "public execution" in the title, Luffy was stunned.

When Nami and the others saw Luffy's reaction, they were suddenly puzzled and subconsciously approached.

Afterwards, they also saw the contents of the newspaper, and they were all shocked.

"Fire Fist Ace, isn't it Luffy's brother?"

"Navy, to publicly execute Ace..."

Except for Franky, who didn't know the relationship between Ace and Luffy, everyone else looked at Luffy with a sluggish expression and was a little worried.

Luffy squeezed the newspaper tightly, lowered his head and said, "Ace..."

As a brother, even if they each have their own fleets and roads, he will never watch Ace be executed by the navy.

In an instant, Luffy made the willful decision to temporarily change the course.

"Everyone."

Luffy looked up at the companions in front of him.

Nami, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Chopper, Robin, Bartolomeo, and Franky all looked straight at Luffy.

Even if Luffy hadn't spoken yet, they had already anticipated what Luffy was going to say.

"I'm going to save Ace, it might be dangerous, but I have to go!"

Luffy was firm.

Going to save Ace means facing the entire naval headquarters, which will be a harder hurdle to overcome than Judiciary Island.

The dangers involved are self-evident.

on the deck.

The crowd had no intention of retreating.

"Judiciary Island first, then the Navy Headquarters, um... super arrogant!" Frankie folded his arms, unable to tell whether he was nervous or excited.

"Navy Headquarters..." The corner of Zoro's mouth grinned, and he lifted the hilt of the knife slightly with his thumb.

"Pata." Sanji lowered his head and lit a cigarette.

"Luffy, I really can't do anything about you." Usopp, who had already practiced his courage, rubbed his forehead in distress.

"Haha." Robin smiled slightly.

"It's so handsome." Bartolomeo looked at his companions with light.

"Well, I don't know if I can get a chart of the waters near the navy headquarters."

Nami sighed deeply and could already imagine the danger ahead.

But she's a navigator, so wherever the captain wants to go, she has to do everything in her power to get the captain there.

Chopper's eyes were firm, and what he thought in his heart was to prepare all the necessary medical resources in the Chambord Islands.

Luffy took a deep breath as he looked at his friends who had no intention of flinching.

He raised his arms high and was about to announce his next destination as the captain,

A discordant voice came to everyone's ears.

"It's just you?"

The sound came suddenly, everyone was startled, and subconsciously assumed a defensive posture.

The next moment, Maud appeared out of thin air in front of everyone.

"Maud!"

"Master!"

"Idol!"

When everyone saw Maud, they were stunned at first, and then relaxed.

Maud glanced at the Straw Hats who finally came to the Chambord Islands, and finally looked at Luffy and said lightly:

"Just based on your strength, do you want to go to the Navy headquarters to rescue Fire Fist Ace? Stop dreaming, waiting for your results, there is only one dead end."

"Even if it's a dead end, I'm going to save Ace!"

Luffy clenched his fists and stared at Maud without backing down.

With his heart on Ace's safety, he didn't think about the consequences at all.

In other words, he never considered the consequences of any decision he made.

Maud looked at Luffy who couldn't get along with maturity, and said indifferently: "Even if I lose the lives of my comrades?"

"..."

Luffy was startled.

Until now, there are still many deficiencies in this spiritual boy wearing a straw hat in his identity as a captain.

However, Nami and the others did not waver at all.

Zoro was even more direct, first he pulled out the words He Daoyi and put it in his mouth, then he pulled out Chidori and Shiyu in his hands.

"Our strength has long been different from the past!"

Zoro's eyes were as sharp as knives, and he suddenly attacked Maud.

When the Sonny landed, he couldn't wait to find Maud to prove his strength, but he didn't expect Maud to come to the door.

"Three Swords, Ghost Slash!"

When everyone was able to react, Zoro was already in front of Maud.

The three knives crossed forward, like a tiger.

Maud looked sideways, pulled out the autumn water with his backhand, and placed the black and red blade in front of him.

Zoro's ghost slash just fell on Qiu Shui Dao.

Chong——!

Where the blades meet, a burst of dazzling sparks sputtered.

Maud's body, even the autumn water, was as motionless as a mountain.

On the other hand, Sauron, the veins in his arms suddenly rose, obviously injecting power into the three knives.

But no matter how hard he exerted his strength, he couldn't push forward the words Hedaoichi, Chidori, and Shiyu in his hands.

Maud steadily resisted the strength that Sauron kept pouring over, and looked calmly at the words of Hedaoyi, Chidori, and Shiyu wrapped in a domineering armed color.

"I haven't seen you for a few months, but your armament has grown a lot."

"Hey."

Although the difference in strength between the two sides was obvious at a glance, Sauron was still full of fighting spirit.

Maud never thought of letting Sauron find self-confidence in himself, and with a little force, he used brute force to force Sauron back.

Zoro stepped backwards for more than ten meters before stopping.

"Sauron, what are you doing!?"

Nami looked at Zoro who suddenly attacked Maud.

Zoro didn't look at Nami, but stared at Maud, calmly said: "I didn't do anything, just put what I said into action."

"Nami-chan."

Sanji took a cigarette in his mouth, kicked his feet lightly twice, and said seriously: "This time, I still agree with the idiot of Chlorella. After all, we have been looked down upon by others."

"you……"

Nami frowned.

Usopp and Bartolomeo looked at each other.

Robin looked at Maud thoughtfully.

Chopper hid directly behind Robin, even if he was looked down upon, he did not have the courage to face Maud.

"Oh, is this a fight?"

Franky looked at Luffy who said nothing.

Luffy looked at Maud, raised his hand and lightly pressed the brim of his hat, and said solemnly: "Sauron is right, our strength has long been different from before."

"I can tell."

Maud nodded, flipped his wrist, held Qiushui Zheng in his hand, and said calmly: "But I still say that, just because you want to rescue Fire Fist Ace? It's still far from it."

"I understand."

Luffy directly assumed the starting position of the second gear, and said seriously: "As long as I beat you to the ground, it means..."

"interesting."

Maud interrupted Luffy directly.

Without warning, the overlord appeared through his body.

The powerful aura, like a gust of wind invisible to the naked eye, shrouded Luffy and the others.

"Um?"

The people led by Luffy, as if they had been punched in the chest, took a few steps back one after another, looking at Maud who exuded a powerful aura in amazement.

Obviously Maud did nothing, but they felt a little heavy inexplicably.

"thump."

Chopper, who was already afraid of Maud, was directly stunned by Maud's domineering arrogance.

"Chopper?!"

While everyone was amazed, they all looked at Chopper, who rolled his eyes and fainted.

Maud looked awe-inspiring and calmly looked at the Straw Hats.

"Beat me up? If you can do it, just try."

Through Suolong's head, let this meeting turn into finding fault.

But Maud didn't mind.

If you can see the strength of the Straw Hats here, it is not a bad thing.

If qualified.

Don't say stop.
