Chapter 56 The storm is coming

"I just arrived on this island. This town is so big."

“Completely different from the Windmill Village”

Luffy also told Smoker openly.

"Why go to the execution ground?"

After hearing Luffy's explanation, Smoker also asked questions out of curiosity.

As the navy officer guarding Rogue Town, Smoker knew what the execution platform represented.

"I want to see where the Pirate King died"

Luffy directly and openly admitted that he was going to see the place where One Piece was executed.

Smoker was shocked when he heard Luffy's words and was so scared that he couldn't move.

"Do not you know?"

Luffy looked Smoker up and down as he lay motionless.

"Wait a minute, it's right where the smoke is going"

Seeing Luffy about to leave, Smoker also reacted.

A puff of smoke wafted out from Smoker's neck, guiding Luffy to the execution platform.

"Is that over there? Thanks."

Luffy followed Smoker's smoke and thanked him.

"Colonel Smoker, that's the pirate with a bounty of 3000 million berries, Straw Hat Luffy."

Just after Luffy walked away, a marine said to Smoker with a bounty warrant.

Smoker couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he heard what the marine said.

Why didn’t you take it out earlier?

However, Smoker did not scold the marine, but immediately turned into a puff of smoke and floated towards the execution platform.

Ling Tian's side.

Ling Tian followed the guidance of the positioning bracelet on his hand and finally did not get lost again.

The reason why he didn't get lost before was because of the ability of this positioning bracelet

This bracelet can guide you to find the person you want to find. Because Ling Tian only drew this one, he did not give it to Zoro, who has a poor sense of direction.

"Aren't you going to take a look?"

Following the guidance of the bracelet, Ling Tian came to a rooftop where he could just see the execution platform.

I saw a man in a green cloak standing on the roof.

This man is Monkey D. Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army and Luffy's father.

"No, a man's farewell doesn't need any words."

"One day we will meet on the sea"

Long didn't look back and looked at the execution platform and spoke.

“You are really insightful.”

Ling Tian listened to Long's words and sat next to him.

"It's more dangerous for Luffy to be with me, not to mention that Luffy has his own adventures."

"Really? Then don't you think that me being on Luffy's ship puts him in more danger?"

Ling Tian smiled as he listened to Long's words.

After hearing Ling Tian's words, Long began to think.

The man next to him is the man with the highest bounty on the sea.

Ling Tian's bounty today is even higher than Roger's back then. Roger's bounty back then was only 5.3 billion berries.

"There are only a few people in this ocean who can hurt you."

Long thought for a while and then spoke.

According to the Revolutionary Army's investigation of Ling Tian's identity, Whitebeard Edward Newgate, one of the Four Emperors of the New World, is like Ling Tian's elder brother.

One of the Four Emperors of the New World, Kaido the Beast is Ling Tian's apprentice and younger brother.

One of the Four Emperors of the New World, Red-Haired Shanks is Ling Tian's younger brother.

Three of the Four Emperors of the New World are related to Ling Tian. Even if Ling Tian is imprisoned in Impel Down without any help, they can tear down Impel Down in minutes.

Even Buggy the Clown, one of the current Seven Warlords of the Sea, is Ling Tian's younger brother.

With this background, who would dare to touch Ling Tian and his son's Straw Hat Pirates on the sea?

“The fun is about to begin.”

Ling Tian smiled when he heard Long's words and did not explain anything. Instead, he pointed in the direction of the execution platform and spoke.

At this time, the execution platform was already filled with villagers and pirates from Rogue Town.

I saw a magician wearing glasses pressing Luffy on the execution platform.

Ling Tian recognized this guy as the current captain of the Black Cat Pirates, the magician Zango.

"You've hurt our captain, so pay with your life."

Zangao spoke to Luffy who was pinned down by his feet.

When Baiji Kro was implementing his plan in Xiluobu Village, they just arrived at Xiluobu Village and found that their captain Baiji Kro had been captured by the legendary naval hero.

They found out that it was because of a pirate group called the Straw Hat Pirates that Hyakuji Crowe was captured.

So they ambushed the Straw Hat Pirates in Rogue Town, and finally today they ambushed the Straw Hat Pirates.

Because in the pirates' perception, the captain is the strongest fighter in the pirate group, so when they received the bounty order of the Straw Hat Pirates, they only looked at Luffy's bounty order.

So Zangao didn’t see Ling Tian’s bounty order.

"I'm sorry, I won't do it again, please save me"

Luffy, who was under great pressure from Zangao, asked Zangao for help.

"How can I save you, idiot?"

Zangao complained when he heard Luffy's words.

“This is what happens when you go against us.”

Fat Buzhi spoke.

"What do you want to say in the end?"

“It’s rare to have so many people come to watch”

Zangao said to Luffy while holding his special hypnosis circle.

"I am the man who will become the Pirate King"

Luffy shouted his catchphrase directly at the place where Roger had been executed.

Did this sound directly shock the villagers of Rogue Town who were watching the execution and the pirates who came to watch the excitement?

"He is... going to become the Pirate King"

"And it was said on that execution platform."

……

After hearing Luffy's words, the villagers and pirates started discussing. They couldn't believe that in this Rogue Town, especially on the execution platform where the Pirate King was executed, there was actually someone who said he wanted to become the Pirate King.

"Your son is really courageous."

Ling Tian laughed as he listened to Luffy saying on the execution platform that he wanted to become the Pirate King.

When Long heard Ling Tian's words, he just stood up and smiled without saying anything.

Long stretched out his right hand forward, and a thundercloud gathered above the execution platform.

"Then I should also go pick up our captain."

Ling Tian looked at Long's movements and jumped down.

……

"Then you can go on your way with peace of mind."

Zango laughed at Luffy's words.

Become the Pirate King?

You are kidding. You are going to be executed here now.

Luffy struggled after hearing what Zangao said but found that he couldn't get free.

"Wait a moment"

Just when Zangao was about to execute Luffy, Zoro and Sanji appeared outside the crowd.

"Zoro, Sanji"

Luffy became excited when he saw Zoro and Sanji appear.

When a girl who was looking at the execution platform with a telescope from a distance saw Zoro appear, she was stunned for a moment.

How could the pirate hunter Zoro be a member of the Straw Hat Pirates?

"What a bear you are!"

"There should be a limit to joking, Luffy."

Zoro spoke as he looked at Luffy who was pressed on the execution platform.

"If it's an entertainment show, I'll join in."

"Anyway, we just need to drive these stinking pirates away, right?"

Sanji said with his hands in his pockets, holding a cigarette.

However, when Zoro and Sanji appeared, Zango planned to kill Luffy directly.

Seeing this, Zoro and Sanji immediately ran towards the execution platform, but were stopped by the crew of the Black Cat Pirates.

Although the crew of the Umineko Pirates are insignificant to Zoro and Sanji, they cannot be dealt with in a short time.

"Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Nami, Lingtian"

"Sorry, I'm dying"

Luffy showed a standard smile and said

“He smiled.”

Smoker, who had witnessed the execution of Pirate King Roger, couldn't help but combine Luffy's face with Roger's when he saw Luffy's smiling face.

Just as Zango's hypnosis circle was about to chop off Luffy's head, a bolt of lightning struck the execution platform.

The falling lightning left a very shocking scene for a young man who was unaware of the situation below the execution platform.

"Hahahaha, he's still alive after all."

Luffy picked up the straw hat that had fallen on the ground and smiled.

"Do you believe in God?"

Zoro spoke after putting away the three swords.

"Stop talking nonsense and get out of here."

Sanji just found Zoro's words ridiculous.

"Stop talking about God, let's go"

Ling Tian flew over and said to Luffy and the other three.

At this time, Smoker ordered the navy to surround all the pirates present.

"so troublesome"

Ling Tian looked at the navy around him and said.

"Uu..."

A huge momentum burst out from Ling Tian's body, and immediately the surrounding navy and pirates fainted.

This is the result of Ling Tian using the Conqueror's Haki.

"what happened"

Zoro looked at the marines falling down around him with some confusion.

"You did it, Ling Tian"

Sanji took a puff of his cigarette and looked at Ling Tian.

"Stop talking nonsense and go away"

"The storm is coming, we have to leave before then"

Ling Tian ignored the shocked Zoro and the others and told them to leave immediately.

When Zoro, Sanji and Luffy heard Ling Tian's words, they didn't say anything, but followed Ling Tian.

"Where is the sea?"

Zoro complained as he ran.

Luffy was very optimistic and said that it was raining too hard to see clearly.

Ling Tian asked them to follow him, especially this guy Zoro.

“Who is that lady?”

At this time, a woman wearing a pair of glasses and a sword on her waist appeared in front of Ling Tian and the others.

Zoro also felt a little uneasy when he saw Tashigi standing in front of him. He had previously seen Tashigi, who looked exactly like Kuina, pinching her eyes.

So Tashigi asked Zoro to clean the naval base as compensation for her eyes.

It’s amazing that no one recognized Zoro’s identity after he had been cleaning the naval base for so long.

"Roronoa Zoro, I didn't expect you to be a pirate."

Dashigi said with a gloomy expression.

"You, you deceived me."

Tashigi spoke as if Zoro was not responsible for what he had done to her.

"What, what did you do to this lady?"

Sanji immediately said to Zoro after hearing what Dashigi said.

When Bloodthirsty heard what Tashigi said, the blade of his sword trembled slightly, as if to say, Zoro, you are not a human being.

"It's just that you didn't ask my name, I didn't lie to you"

Zoro walked out and spoke.

If you don’t know, you might think they really have something unclear to say.

"I will never allow a villain like you to carry that famous sword."

"I want to take back the famous sword - Wado Ichimonji"

Tashigi said to Zoro.

As a sword fanatic, Tashigi would never allow the famous sword to fall into the hands of a pirate. In her heart, she believed that doing so would make the famous sword cry.

"And you, you should be the Speed ​​Sword Ghost Lingtian, right?"

"I will also take back your Lightning, Ryujin Jakka, and Ace."

“I will never make them cry.”

When Dashiqi saw Ling Tian's appearance, she knew that Ling Tian had three famous swords in his hands.

Although she knew that she had a high chance of not being able to defeat Ling Tian, ​​as a sword fanatic, how could she allow a famous sword to fall into the hands of a pirate?

"Shh..."

Ling Tian teleported behind Dashiqi and knocked her out with a knife.

He didn't want to waste time here with Tashigi, the storm was coming soon.

Even I cannot guarantee that I can set out when the storm comes. After all, the power of nature is the most terrifying.

"Okay, let's go."

Ling Tian picked up the unconscious Dashiqi and put her under the house where she would not be exposed to the rain.

Seeing this, Zoro didn't say anything. It was good for him to be able to solve the problem so easily.

Soon Ling Tian and the others returned to the Merry.

"Strange that Smoker hasn't caught up yet."

Ling Tian looked in the direction of Rogue Town with some surprise.

Just on the street of Rogue Town, a man in a green robe stopped Smoker.

"Why are you helping Straw Hat Boy?"

Smoker looked at the dragon in front of him with some confusion.

Dragon, who is considered the worst criminal by the World Government, actually appears here.

I thought to myself after hearing what Smoker said.

why?

Of course, because he is my son.

However, Long did not say that, but spoke in a very pretentious manner.

"What reason can stop a man from setting sail?"

Long laughed.

Aboard the Merry.

"Hurry, lower the sail, we are going to set off now"

Nami spoke to the nautical chart while directing Luffy and the others to lower the sails of the Merry.

When Zoro and Lingtian heard Nami's words, they immediately ran to lower the sails of the Merry.

Sanji quickly put the food purchased in Rogue Town into the kitchen.

Usopp was on the lookout tower watching to see if there was anything approaching. After all, if anything else appeared at this moment, their ship would be destroyed and they would perish.

After Zoro and Ling Tian lowered the sails, Ling Tian quickly came to the front of the Merry and took the helm.

As for Luffy, he did nothing when he saw the ship set sail. Instead, he sat in his special seat and smiled.

"Set sail"

Luffy waved his hand and spoke.

When Nami saw Luffy like this, she thought that she would definitely beat Luffy up after this matter was over.

But it's just a thought. No one complained about Luffy not doing anything. They had long been accustomed to Luffy's behavior.

Just when Ling Tian and the others were ready and Nami was about to give orders on which direction to set off, a huge storm hit the Merry.

Luffy was blown off the Merry.

Seeing this, Ling Tian asked Zoro to take the helm, flew over to catch Luffy, and then flew back to the Merry.

"Thank you Lingtian"

Luffy, who was carried back to the Merry by Ling Tian, ​​breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Ling Tian.

Ling Tian ignored Luffy's thanks and immediately used spiritual techniques to stabilize the center of gravity of the other people on the boat so that they would not fall off the Merry.

The storm was now so severe that it was impossible to steer the Merry to the destination they had designated.

Of course Ling Tian can use spiritual magic to resist the storm so that it cannot affect the Merry.

But now, if Ling Tian releases the spiritual technique that maintains Luffy and the others' center of gravity, they will definitely be blown into the sea in an instant.

It’s okay for other people, but Luffy is a devil fruit user. If we can’t find him in time, then it’ll be all over.
