"It's you annoying guys again!" Luffy's face was full of anger.
They had already clashed with CP9 members earlier, and Luffy felt that it was because of CP9 that he still hadn't managed to save Ace.
Sabo glanced at Blueno and said to Luffy, "Luffy, you go save Ace. I'll handle this guy!"
Luffy nodded and continued charging upwards.
"Don't even think about it!" Seeing this, Blueno quickly moved to intercept Luffy.
But the moment he acted, Sabo also shot forward at high speed.
Boom!
Sabo was incredibly fast, appearing in front of Blueno in an instant. The pipe in his hand, coated in Armament Haki, slammed out fiercely!
"Revolving Door!" Blueno slapped Sabo's chest, causing it to rotate rapidly like a revolving door, attempting to alter the trajectory of Sabo's attack.
However, after a brief moment of disorientation, Sabo quickly regained his composure. Unfazed by the spinning of his body, he drove his pipe forward towards Blueno.
"Tekkai!" Blueno's expression changed, and he hurriedly used Rokushiki's iron body defense.
But he had underestimated Sabo's strength.
As the Revolutionary Army's Chief of Staff, Sabo's power, while perhaps not on par with a Navy Admiral, was undoubtedly formidable.
Thus, when Sabo's pipe struck Blueno, it sent him staggering backward. Blueno spat out a mouthful of blood, utterly unable to block the attack.
"Dragon Claw Fist!" Sabo swiftly used his signature technique, his hand shooting out to grab Blueno's arm, crushing it instantly.
Immediately after, Sabo's pipe swung out again, smashing Blueno off the bridge!
"Go!" Sabo shouted lowly, and he and Luffy continued their charge towards the execution platform.
However, as they pressed forward, several more figures leaped up from below, landing swiftly on the bridge ahead.
They were none other than CP9's Kaku, with his Ox-Ox Fruit: Giraffe Model; Jabra, with his Dog-Dog Fruit: Wolf Model; and Kalifa, with her Soap-Bubble Fruit!
Furthermore, two more CP9 members appeared on the execution platform itself: Kumadori and Fukurou!
All members of CP9 were now present, gathered on the execution platform to block Luffy and Sabo.
Faced with this situation, Luffy quickly adopted a fighting stance, ready to take on these obstructors alongside Sabo.
But Sabo said to him, "Luffy, leave these guys to me. You charge straight through and save Ace!"
Luffy looked at him, saw that Sabo wasn't joking, then nodded and said, "Alright! I'll definitely save Ace!"
Boom!
Sabo charged out first, launching an attack against the group. Relying on his own power alone, he actually managed to hold back several CP9 members simultaneously, and wasn't at a disadvantage at all.
Seizing the opportunity while Sabo engaged them, Luffy quickly jumped over their heads and continued his desperate sprint towards the execution platform.
Kaku, Jabra, and the others wanted to stop him, but Sabo swiftly intercepted them. His fierce attacks forced them to focus entirely on defending themselves.
At this point, they realized just how strong Sabo truly was; no wonder Blueno had been defeated so quickly.
Not daring to hold back any longer, they focused completely, unleashing their full strength against Sabo. The bridge beneath them shattered under the force of their battle.
Fortunately, Luffy had already reached the execution platform, avoiding the fall with them.
On the battlefield, many saw Luffy successfully ascend the platform.
Instantly, the faces of the World Government officials turned ugly. In contrast, the Whitebeard Pirates crew erupted in cheers. Many shouted, "Straw Hat boy, hurry and save Ace!"
Currently in his Great Buddha form, battling Uchiha Izuna, Sengoku's face darkened. He couldn't help but roar at Garp, who was locked in fierce combat with Might Duy not far away, "Garp! It's your damn family again!"
Garp had also seen Luffy charging up the platform long ago. He yelled out, "That brat Luffy!" But then he could only continue his intense fight with Might Duy.
At this moment, all the powerful fighters on the World Government and Navy side, including the Admirals, were pinned down by their respective opponents, completely unable to break away to stop Luffy.
Navy Admiral Akainu, adhering to his Absolute Justice, naturally could not tolerate this.
However, before he could make a move against Luffy, he was once again targeted by attacks from the Akatsuki members, forcing him to dodge and defend frantically, no longer daring to divert his attention.
Kong, who was fighting Senju Tobirama, grew anxious. He suddenly shouted towards Lin Xuan's direction, "Lin Xuan! What is the meaning of this? Are you going back on your word? Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the entire world?"
But he was taken aback to find Lin Xuan standing completely still, seemingly deep in thought, as if he hadn't heard a word.
"Bastard!" Kong didn't know if Lin Xuan was doing this on purpose or just pretending. But he knew that now, they could only hope that Rob Lucci could stop Luffy!
On the execution platform, Rob Lucci stood near Ace, his gaze fixed coldly on Luffy, his eyes turning sharp.
The two had actually fought before, but due to the chaos of the surrounding battle at the time, they hadn't reached a conclusive outcome.
So, when Rob Lucci saw Luffy charging onto the platform, an intense fighting spirit erupted from him.
However, Luffy ignored Lucci's glare. Instead, he looked at Ace, who was kneeling with his arms bound by Seastone shackles, and grinned. "Ace, I'm here to save you!"
"Luffy!" Ace stared intently at his brother, his feelings indescribably complex.
Just then, Rob Lucci, enraged by Luffy's disregard, snapped angrily, "Monkey D. Luffy! If you want to save Fire Fist Ace, you'll have to get past me first!"
Instantly, Luffy's focus finally shifted to Lucci. "So if I knock you out, I can save Ace, right?"
As he spoke, he pressed one fist against the ground, his legs pumping like bellows.
"Second Gear!"
In the next moment, Luffy's skin turned red, and steam began billowing from his body.
This sight caused Rob Lucci's pupils to contract sharply.
