Chapter 1440 On top of the war (52)

Buggy, who was under the close protection of many of his men, was also shocked. He stared at Luffy blankly and thought to himself, "I have heard of that man, but I didn't expect his father to be such a famous and powerful figure!"

At this moment, Bucky only felt that the life and background hidden behind everyone around him were unfathomable and extremely powerful.

Hancock also frowned at this moment, with a hint of surprise and confusion in her eyes.

Even the other members of the Seven Warlords of the Sea put down what they were busy with and turned all their attention to Luffy, the newcomer who repeatedly shocked them.

Smoker, who was standing aside, stared at Luffy while recalling the bizarre events that had happened in Rogue Town.

At that time, the sudden and inexplicable gust of wind seemed to fall from the sky; and just when Luffy was about to be executed, a mysterious figure suddenly appeared. Now thinking about it, all of this seems to have an explanation.

"So this is ah!"

Smoker nodded in sudden realization, the cigar in his mouth trembling slightly as he spoke.

"In this way, all the mysteries of Rogue Town are solved! No wonder Long showed up in person to rescue him!"

Back then, Smoker had always mistakenly believed that the dragon appeared there in order to deliberately disrupt the normal order in the East China Sea.

To this end, he even submitted a detailed report to the Navy Marshal and launched a large-scale search operation against the revolutionary army throughout the East China Sea.

The result was unexpected. After being busy for more than a month, not even a single person was seen.

This not only caused him to waste a lot of time and energy, but also earned him severe reprimand and scolding from the marshal for the failure of the mission.

Luffy is actually the son of the revolutionary Dragon!

This shocking news was like a thunderbolt that split the sky, and it spread to every corner of the world in an instant through the video telephone bugs that were spread all over the world.

When people heard the news, they were all stunned with shock, and huge waves of grief rose in their hearts.

Who would have thought that Dragon, the revolutionary who was feared by the World Government and whose whereabouts were mysterious, actually had a son, and that this son actually chose to become a pirate!

As the news spread, the seemingly calm sea became turbulent again.

At this time, many sailors at the Navy Headquarters were also extremely shocked when they first learned the news, but they quickly recovered from their astonishment and gradually accepted this reality.

In just a few minutes, the sailors regained their spirits and regained their former confidence and fighting spirit.

"We must not allow this guy to continue living in this world!"

With a roar, a large number of navy soldiers rushed towards Luffy like a tide, determined to completely eliminate this dangerous man.

Garp, who was standing aside, silently watched everything that was happening in front of him. When he saw so many people attacking Luffy, he could not help but slowly lower his head, with an indescribable complex expression on his face.

"Forget it... now that things have come to this, there is really no need to continue hiding it."

Garp raised his head painfully, his eyes fixed on Luffy who was fighting hard in the distance, and muttered to himself: "Luffy, Luffy, I'm afraid you will never change your lawless nature!"

As he said this, he shook his head helplessly.

At this moment, Luffy swung his huge fist and smashed it hard at the giant in front of him with the force of thunder.

There was a loud "bang" and the tall giant flew backwards dozens of meters like a kite with a broken string. He finally fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

"Ace, you can say whatever you want, but I will rescue you even if it costs me my life!"

Luffy's eyes widened and he shouted at the top of his lungs. His firm and determined voice seemed to be able to penetrate the sky.

This shocking scene made the members of the Whitebeard Pirates standing behind Luffy couldn't help but show surprise on their faces.

Especially the burly Joz, who stared at Luffy in disbelief, muttering to himself: "This brat..."

Then, Joz suddenly came to his senses and shouted, "Brothers, we can't let that guy in the straw hat steal the show!"

Before he finished speaking, he rushed forward.

Inspired by Joz, the other members of the Whitebeard Pirates shouted loudly with their blood boiling: "Yes, we are also Ace's family. We must rescue him from the enemy today no matter what!"

For a moment, shouts and cries of killing rose and fell, echoing throughout the entire battlefield.

At the same time, on the huge Moby Dick, Whitebeard, the overlord of the sea, was staring at Luffy in the distance with sharp eyes.

After a moment, he turned around and said to Marco behind him in a deep voice: "Marco, you must not let that kid die here!"

"Got it, Dad!"

Marco responded and strode forward without hesitation.

He just stretched out his arms casually, and instantly they turned into a pair of huge and gorgeous flaming wings.

With a gentle flap of his wings, Marco rushed towards the fierce battlefield like an arrow.

On the other side, Ace, who was imprisoned on the execution platform, looked down at Luffy who came to rescue him without hesitation, his many brothers who shared life and death with him, and his companions who unfortunately sacrificed their lives to save him.

Thinking of this, Ace's heart felt as if it was pierced by thousands of steel needles at the same time. Pain and self-blame intertwined together, causing his body to involuntarily begin to tremble violently.

Sometimes he lowered his head in despair, as if trying to escape the cruel reality before him; sometimes he raised his head stubbornly, staring with tearful eyes at the figures who were fighting bloody battles for him.

Ace's unusual behavior soon attracted the attention of Garp, who had been silently guarding him.

"what happened to you?"

However, Ace did not answer Garp's question immediately, but continued to tremble in silence.

After a long while, Ace finally calmed down and gradually regained some composure.

"Me! No matter what the future holds, I will accept it calmly! As long as someone offers me a helping hand, I will hold it tightly; even if it is sanctions and punishments against me, I will accept them without complaint! From this moment on, I will never panic and be at a loss like before!"

Ace looked at the smoke-filled battlefield with a determined gaze.
