It seems that the timing of Akainu's dispatch to suppress Whitebeard's offensive is the right time.

The Straw Hats appear out of thin air near the execution table.

Except for Maude and Fuji Tiger, everyone present didn't know how the Straw Hats unknowingly touched the vicinity of the torture table.

This scene was unexpected by everyone, even the old Warring States inevitably showed a shocked face.

"Luffy, why are you !! here"

Karp, who was suppressing Marco, couldn't believe his eyes after seeing Luffy appear out of thin air.

"That boy is ......"

Marco saw the opportunity and soared into the sky, trying to break through Karp's defenses and fly to the execution table.

But Karp has so much combat experience, even if he was negligent because of Luffy's appearance, he still reacted quickly, and with the momentum of coming from behind, he smashed Marco to the ground with another punch.

"Damn it."

Marco sprang to his feet, tugging at his blue flame wings, gritting his teeth and looking at Karp, who looked like a door god.

On the execution table.

"Luffy, you're ......!"

Ace's reaction was rarely the same as that of Karp, and he was extremely surprised to look at Luffy who suddenly appeared.

Warring States quickly dissipated his astonishment, and said in a deep voice: "How did you 'come here'......"

Under the gaze of Ace and Sengoku, Luffy, with the help of Sanji's kicking skills, rose all the way to the sky above the execution table.

"Third gear!"

Looking down at Ace and Sengoku on the execution table, Luffy took a deep breath, and immediately bit the thumb of his right hand hard, blowing a large amount of air into the gap between the bones.

Phew——!

The right fist and even the entire right arm suddenly became huge.

"Rubber Giant Pistol!"

Using the retraction of the rubber properties, Luffy drove a gigantic right fist and viciously struck Sengoku.

In the face of the world-famous admiral, this newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and he is not afraid of the slightest timidity.

"Even if you're Karp's grandson......"

Warring States' face sank, and his body suddenly glowed with golden light, and his body quickly turned into a huge golden Buddha statue at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The animal is the human fruit phantom beast species - the form of the Buddha.

The Warring States, bathed in the golden Buddha light, were solemn and majestic, revealing a terrifying momentum.

"What is this......

Luffy's eyes widened, and he was surprised to see the Sengoku who had turned into a huge golden Buddha statue and thus suppressed his own momentum.

There was no time to think about it, and the huge fist had already rushed in front of the Warring States.

Sengoku raised his right palm.

Buzz –

There seemed to be a ringing bell and the sound of Buddha reverberated in the air.

A circle of white light burst out from Sengoku's palm, but it was covered by golden Buddha light in an instant, and it met Luffy's attack like this.

Although Sengoku's ability is not clear, Luffy's giant fist still hits Sengoku's right palm with an indomitable blow.

The moment the fist bone touched the Buddha's palm, Luffy felt an irresistible impact.

Sengoku's posture was towering and motionless, and the shock wave gushing out from the palm of his hand hit Luffy's body heavily through a huge fist.

"Wow!"

Luffy's body shook violently, he raised his head and spit out a large mouthful of blood, and with a huge fist, he was directly blasted out by the shockwave.

"Luffy !!"

Ace shouted.

Sengoku is coldly watching Luffy who flies out upside down.

But just as he blasted Luffy into the air, Zoro swung his knife and slashed the steel frame under the execution table.

Crunch crunch –

The execution table, which lost its support, could not bear the weight of the huge body of the Warring States at all.

As a result, the steel frame at the bottom was severely bent in a screeching sound before it began to topple.

"Huh?"

Sengoku looked down at the execution table that suddenly increased in the pouring amplitude, and his face was a little ugly for a while.

This public execution, which should have been a perfect curtain call, was ruined by a budding new star pirates.

Under the execution table.

Watching the execution table topple up, the Straw Hats looked uplifted.

"Robin, Luffy will leave it to you."

Sanji shouted at Robin, and stared at Ace, who was limited by Hailou Stone.

Robin nodded.

"Soft cobwebs!"

Robin crossed his hands and materialized a web woven from his arms at Luffy's landing point.

Luffy, who fell from the sky, smashed right on the soft spider web and was protected from secondary damage.

After confirming that Luffy was okay, Sanji, Zoro, Franky, Usopp and others were highly focused, and they were ready to join forces to rescue Ace.

Bartolomeo's eyes glowed red, and he turned on the color of seeing and hearing in advance, and made a starting gesture that used the ability of the barrier fruit - the index middle finger overlapped.

In this rescue operation, what he has to do is not to be in the limelight, but to be able to open the barrier as soon as possible to resist the damage of his companions.

Everything was as they expected.

The sudden change attracted the attention of countless people present.

Even Whitebeard and Akainu, who had finished gathering momentum, stopped their attacks one after another, and looked at the execution table with different expressions.

"That little imp is ......"

Whitebeard's mind flashed to the image of Ace holding up a wanted warrant and happily introducing him to Straw Hat Luffy.

"I was touched by a couple of mice."

Akainu's face was slightly gloomy, and his eyes were surging with murderous intent.

Rumble –

The execution table toppled forward.

As the angle of inclination of the execution table increased, Sengoku and Ace's bodies were unbalanced, and they were about to fall to the ground at one point.

Just as the Straw Hats were looking forward to it, a scream suddenly came, like the sound of willow branches beating hard in the air.

It was—the sound of buckshot piercing through the air.

And the person who sent the buckshot here was none other than Maud.

Shadow flow, shapeshifting.

Maude's figure came with lead bullet and landed lightly beside Sengoku.

"Shadow Spike."

With a wave of his hand, several shadows gathered into a honeycomb-like shadow from the palm of his hand, quickly mimicking into nails and falling on the shadow below the execution table.

Fixed.

The shadow nails mimicked by the prisoner's shadow easily caused the execution table below to be separated from the steel frame and severely bent to stop the toppling momentum, like a masterpiece made by a master of balance.

"Secured ?!!"

Frankie looked incredulously at the bent steel frame of the execution table.

The contact points between each other are as thin as a toothpick, how can they support such a heavy execution table.

"It's Maude's ability."

"Master......"

"Maude!"

"What should I do, the execution table didn't fall down......"

The Straw Hats looked up at Maude who had come to the top of the execution table, and were shocked, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Sengoku looked at Maude unexpectedly.

He really didn't expect that it would be Maude who would help him resolve this wave of crisis.

Maud looked down at the Straw Hats below and sighed, "What a bad time." ”

"Huh?"

Hearing Maude's words, Sengoku couldn't help frowning.

Maude didn't care about Sengoku's reaction, he had already recovered the shadows of most of the prisoners, and he didn't need to think about the balance anymore.

The next thing to do is to collect Whitebeard's experience points as soon as possible.

But before that, if the Straw Hats successfully rescued Ace, the Whitebeard Pirates would definitely retreat quickly.

Although it is very likely that Whitebeard will choose to stay and break off like the original book......

But no one can say for sure.

Maude said expressionlessly: "It's just going to come out at this time, you ...... You might die. ”

As if in response to Maude's words, a gravitational field suddenly came and enveloped the Straw Hats.

After Maude, Fujitora struck.
