Chapter 39: It's Up to You?

A newspaper.

The huge page only reported two major events.

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

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

"Huh?"

Luffy was stunned when he saw the words public execution in the title.

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

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

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

"Navy, to publicly execute Ace ......"

Except for Frankie, who didn't know the relationship between Ace and Luffy, the rest of the people looked at Luffy with a dull face, a little worried.

Luffy clenched the newspaper tightly, bowed his head and said, "Ace......"

As brothers, even if they have their own ship groups and roads, he will never watch Ace being executed by the navy.

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

"Everyone."

Luffy looked up at his companions in front of him.

Nami, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Chopper, Robin, Bartolomeo, and Frankie are all looking at Luffy with positive colors.

Even before Luffy spoke, they had already anticipated what Luffy was going to say.

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

Luffy looked determined.

To save Ace would mean facing the entire Navy Headquarters, which would be a more difficult hurdle to overcome than Justice Island.

The hardships and dangers are self-evident.

On deck.

But everyone did not flinch at all.

"First the Isle of Justice, then the Navy Headquarters, huh...... Super arrogant! Frankie folded his arms, unable to tell whether he was nervous or excited.

"Navy Headquarters...... the corners of Sauron's mouth grinned, and he slightly raised the handle of the knife with his thumb, the road ahead is difficult and dangerous, it can be described as the way of Shura.

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

"Luffy, I really can't help you." Usopp, who had already carried out his courage, rubbed his forehead in anguish.

"Huh." Robin smiled slightly.

"It's so handsome." Bartolomeo looked at his friends with sparkling eyes.

"Alas, I don't know if I can get a chart of the waters near the Navy Headquarters."

Nami sighed deeply, she could already imagine the danger ahead.

But she was a navigator, so wherever the captain wanted to go, she had to take the captain wherever she could.

Chopper's eyes were determined, and all he had in mind was to prepare all the necessary medical resources in the Chambord Islands.

Luffy looked at his companions who had no intention of flinching and took a deep breath.

He raised his arms and was about to announce his next destination as captain, when a discordant voice came to everyone's ears.

"It's up to you?"

The voice came suddenly, and everyone was startled, and subconsciously put on a defensive posture.

The next moment, Maud appeared out of thin air.

"Maude!"

"Master!"

"Idol!"

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

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

"With your strength, you also want to go to the Navy Headquarters to rescue Fire Fist Ace? Don't dream, waiting for your outcome, there is only one way to die. ”

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

Luffy clenched his fists and stared at Maude without flinching.

Concerned about Ace's safety, he didn't think about the consequences at all.

Or rather, any decision he makes, never thinking about the consequences.

Maude looked at Luffy, who couldn't get along with maturity, and said indifferently, "Even if it's to lose the lives of his companions?" ”

“……”

Luffy was stunned.

Until now, this spiritual guy wearing a straw hat still lacks many practices in the identity of the captain.

It's just that Nami and the others didn't waver at all.

Zoro was even more direct, first pulling out the word "Hedao" and holding it in his mouth, and then pulling out Chidori and Shi Yu successively and holding it in his hand.

"Our strength has long been different!"

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

When the Sonny docked, he couldn't wait to find Maude to verify his strength, but he didn't expect Maud to take the initiative to come to the door.

"Three knife streams, ghost slash!"

By the time everyone could react, Zoro was already in front of Maud.

The three knives are crossed forward, like a fierce tiger.

Maude squinted, pulled out the autumn water with his backhand, and placed the black and red blade in front of him.

Sauron's ghost slash fell on the Autumn Water Knife like this.

Qiang ——!

Where the blades met, a burst of dazzling sparks erupted.

Maude's body, and even the autumn water, are as immobile as a mountain.

Sauron, on the other hand, had a bruised arm that was clearly pouring power into the three knives.

But no matter how hard he exerted, he couldn't press forward the Wadochi text, Chidori, and Shiyu in his hand.

Maude steadily resisted the force that Zoro kept pouring over, and looked calmly at the domineering Kazumichi, Chidori, and Shiyu who were entangled in the domineering nature of the 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 is clear at a glance, Sauron is still full of fighting spirit.

Maud didn't think about letting Sauron find confidence in himself, and with a little force, he used brute force to force Sauron back.

Zoro pedaled backwards for more than ten meters before stopping.

"Zoro, what are you doing!?"

Nami looked at Zoro who suddenly made a move towards Maud.

Instead of looking at Nami, Zoro stared at Maude and said calmly, "I didn't do anything, I 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 approach of the green algae head idiot, after all, we are being looked down upon." ”

"You ......"

Nami frowned.

Usopp and Bartolomeo looked at each other.

Robin looked at Maude thoughtfully.

Chopper hid directly behind Robin, even if he was looked down upon, he didn't have the courage to face Maude.

"Oh, is this going to be a fight?"

Frankie looked at Luffy, who was speechless.

Luffy looked at Maude, raised his hand to press the brim of his hat, and said in a deep voice, "Zoro is right, our strength has long been different. ”

"I can see it."

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

"I see."

Luffy directly put on a second-gear starting posture and said seriously: "As long as I beat you down, it means ......"

"Interesting."

Maude directly interrupted Luffy's words.

Without warning, the overlord color came out of the body.

The powerful aura, like a fierce wind that is invisible to the naked eye, shrouded Luffy and the others.

"Huh?"

The crowd, led by Luffy, took a few steps back as if they had been punched in the chest, looking at Maude who exuded a strong momentum in amazement.

It was clear that Maude hadn't done anything, but they felt a little heavy inexplicably.

"Plop."

Chopper, who was already afraid of Maude, was directly stunned by Maude's overlord domineering.

"Chopper?!"

Everyone was amazed, and they all looked at Chopper who was fainting with rolling his eyes.

Maude was awe-inspiring and calmly looked at the Straw Hats.

"Hit me? If you can, just give it a try. ”

Through Saur's bulging head, this meeting is about to evolve 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 it.

Maud will even take the initiative to help Luffy get to the top of the war stage.
