Chapter 1485 On top of the war (97)
Anxiety and despair appeared on everyone's face. They knew very well that if they lost their leader Whitebeard, the entire pirate group would be plunged into an unprecedented crisis.
"Dad!"
Ace saw the shocking wounds on Whitebeard's body at a glance, and the joy that had just surged in his heart disappeared without a trace in an instant, and was replaced by deep worry and fear.
He opened his eyes wide and looked at Whitebeard in disbelief.
However, after hearing Ace's worried cry, Whitebeard laughed heartily: "Kulalalala!"
The laughter was deafening, as if he felt no physical pain at all.
He raised the huge naginata in his hand without hesitation and slashed at Akainu with the force of thunder.
Seeing this, Akainu's face suddenly changed. He quickly retracted his arms and did several backflips in a row, escaping from Whitebeard's attack range at an extremely fast speed.
"Ace, don't worry about me. This little injury can't do anything to me, your father. Ahem!"
Whitebeard was still laughing loudly, but before he could finish his words, he suddenly started coughing violently.
He covered his injured chest tightly with his left hand, and trickles of blood flowed out from the corners of his mouth, staining the collar of his shirt red.
"Oh no, Dad is sick again!"
Marco, who had been paying close attention to Whitebeard's condition, felt his heart tighten when he saw this. Not daring to delay for a moment, he quickly flew to Whitebeard's side, using his healing ability to heal him with all his strength.
When Ace saw this scene, he felt a little relieved.
But at this moment, the surrounding navy surged up again like a tide. In the blink of an eye, three or four powerful vice admirals surrounded Ace and Luffy.
Ace turned to look at Luffy beside him, a smile on his face, and said with emotion: "I never thought that there would be a day when I would be saved by you. I never even dreamed of it before! But... I still have to thank you, Luffy!"
After hearing this, Luffy's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing a bright smile, then he reached out and gently rubbed his nose.
His eyes were clear and bright, with a hint of humility, and he slowly said: "This is all thanks to the help of Uncle Whitebeard and others! Without them, I would not be able to do this."
At this moment, there was a sound of metal friction, followed by the sight of a spear being raised high.
The navy soldiers were seen holding various guns and artillery, with the black muzzles of the guns all aimed at Ace and Luffy.
One of the vice admirals had a stern expression on his face and shouted, "Hmph, don't be so naive as to think that you are safe and rescued! This is your execution ground, and today is the day you die!"
Before he finished his words, deafening gunfire and artillery fire rang out the next second.
Countless bullets shot towards Ace and Luffy like raindrops. At the same time, powerful shells whizzed closely behind them.
Faced with such a dangerous situation, Luffy and Ace reacted quickly. Without hesitation, they stood back to back and formed a solid line of defense between each other.
"Be careful! These are seastone bullets!"
Ace's expression suddenly changed and he reminded loudly.
In a flash, he stretched out his left hand and grabbed Luffy tightly to prevent him from getting hurt; at the same time, he swung his right hand violently, and a ball of blazing flames suddenly rose up, as if to set the whole world on fire.
In the blink of an eye, the flames spread at an alarming speed, quickly covering the entire venue.
Then, Ace leaped into the air. His eyes widened with anger, and he shouted, "Fire Fist!"
With this roar, his already surging flames condensed into a huge and ferocious flaming fist, which smashed straight down at the navy people below with the power to destroy the world.
In an instant, the flames opened like a ferocious beast, opening its bloody mouth and engulfing the surrounding navy.
However, those battle-hardened vice admirals would certainly not sit idly by and wait for death.
They all displayed their armed color domineering, wrapping their bodies tightly in order to resist the invasion of the extremely hot flames.
Although the high temperature of the flames made them feel burning pain, they still gritted their teeth and persevered with their great strength and tenacious will.
Luffy on the other side was not idle either.
Seeing Ace launching such a fierce attack, he suddenly felt heroic and immediately waved his strong and powerful arms.
For a moment, his fists hit the marines around him like a violent storm.
Each punch contained a tremendous force, making the marines cry out in pain and retreat repeatedly.
The two of them fell rapidly from mid-air like meteors, causing a gust of wind.
"Hurry up Luffy, get away from here!"
Ace shouted anxiously, his eyes fixed on the possible escape route ahead.
Luffy nodded heavily to show that he understood, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.
Vista and the others stood not far away, watching Ace and Luffy with smiles on their faces, and couldn't help but feel a surge of admiration in their hearts: "What a tacit cooperation! They are worthy of being brothers!"
Bista praised sincerely. Then, he swung the long sword in his hand fiercely and shouted loudly: "Brothers, cut a bloody path for them!"
As his order was given, the Whitebeard Pirates took action instantly, rushing towards the direction of Ace and Luffy like a surging wave.
Zhan Guo stood outside the field, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out.
His eyes were fixed on the chaotic and messy scene, and veins bulged on his forehead.
Especially when he saw the figures of Ace and Luffy, his anger burned to the extreme.
"Garp, how long are you going to lie there? Are you just going to watch them escape?"
Sengoku roared at Garp in rage, venting all his anger on his former comrade.
Garp was seen lying quietly in a pile of ruins, seemingly unresponsive to Sengoku's roar.
There was a loud bang, and Garp, who had been motionless, finally moved.
He raised his arms slightly, pushed away the huge rock that was pressing on his body, and then slowly raised his head out of the rubble.
At this moment, Karp looked a little embarrassed, but his eyes were still as sharp as a knife.
"Garp, the Navy's reputation must not be damaged in the slightest. Now is the time for you to show justice!"
Sengoku glared at Garp and shouted again.
