"I am the man who will become the Pirate King!"
Luffy let out a cry from the deepest part of his heart.
As soon as these words came out.
The entire square suddenly fell silent. After a brief silence, everyone looked at Luffy on the execution platform in shock, and they began to talk among themselves.
"What is that guy talking about!"
"One Piece?!"
"This newly-crowned overlord of the East China Sea chose to speak such big words in this town."
"That's right."
"How can he become the Pirate King?"
In the alley, after Bartolomeo heard Luffy's words, his eyes couldn't help but become a little dazed.
"Stop dreaming."
"Becoming the Pirate King or something…" Smoker paused, "You're still a long way from that!"
The reason why Smoker said this.
It was because he had witnessed Roger's execution with his own eyes, and he had that unique aura.
It still makes him unforgettable.
"This guy…"
Bai Yu hurriedly stopped and looked sideways.
He saw that the huge square was surrounded by the navy. He even saw a red-nosed man and some pirates being captured.
And in the center.
On the towering outer execution platform.
A man in a navy uniform, with two cigars in his mouth and a long sword held high in both hands, and below him was Luffy, who was pinned down by the Tente and was powerless.
At this moment, he was smiling.
"Shirayu, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, I'm sorry everyone, I'm going to die."
The strong wind was now getting stronger and stronger, surrounding the entire square and making Luffy's clothes rustle.
This was a scene that could be called a miracle.
It also completely fell into Bartolomeo's heart.
"Luffy…"
"Senior Luffy is awesome!" At this moment, the cockscomb-haired guy seemed to have found his faith: "No wonder Bai Yu idol chose him as the captain!"
"It's really so charming!"
Smoker looked at the knife in his hand, and when it was about to fall, Luffy in front of him actually smiled.
He was completely shocked.
Because on this day twenty years ago.
The same thing happened when Roger was executed. He knew he was going to die, but he still smiled.
"Foolish son."
Just when Bai Yu was about to rush forward, he heard a whisper behind him, and he turned around to look.
I saw——
The dragon raised his hand and a strong wind blew up.
At this moment, on the execution platform, Smoker's knife was less than a few centimeters away from Luffy's neck.
"Crack!"
A bolt of lightning fell from the sky.
And hit the execution platform accurately.
Because of this, the execution platform, which was already shaky, collapsed with a loud bang and stirred up a cloud of dust.
Wait until the smoke clears.
Luffy appeared in front of everyone holding his straw hat.
"Hehehe~"
"After all, I survived!" Luffy grinned widely and laughed heartily.
However, it was at this moment.
A powerful hurricane accompanied by rain wrapped Luffy in it, tearing a path through the navy's encirclement, and Luffy landed steadily next to Bai Yu.
"Hey, Bai Yu!"
"Who is the uncle standing behind you?"
Bai Yu was speechless when he heard this, and couldn't help but complain in his heart: "I don't even know my own father."
"Leave him alone for now."
"Luffy has to run and get back to the ship."
Bai Yu had already seen Smoker, who turned into smoke and rushed towards him from a distance, and hurriedly pulled Luffy and ran away.
Although there is armed color domineering.
He could also fight Smoker head-on, but he wanted to get to the next stop as soon as possible. He didn't have time to waste here, and they had arrived in Rogue Town.
The purpose is to replenish some supplies here.
A drizzle began to fall from the sky.
"Um?"
"Why are you two in such a hurry?"
As soon as Bai Yu and Luffy turned the corner, they met Sanji who was holding the elephant trunk tuna he won from the competition. He looked at the two of them with confusion on his face.
"Don't just stand there like an idiot."
"Run quickly Sanji, there are marines behind us!"
The two of them only stayed for a moment, then ran forward without hesitation, even remembering to give a reminder.
Sanji was a little slow to react.
Hearing the noise behind him, he slowly turned his head and found a navy man on a three-wheeled motorcycle chasing after him.
"asshole!"
"Why did you remind me of that!" Sanji yelled at Luffy and Shirahimi and ran away.
However, just as the three of them ran to the end of the alley.
But he suddenly stopped.
There was a towering stone wall in front of me, a dead end.
"Oh no…" Bai Yu's eyes darkened.
"Bai Yu, are you a directionally challenged person?" Sanji and Luffy, one carrying the fish head and the other carrying the fish tail, looked at the stone wall in front of them and couldn't help but complain in their hearts.
"Want to fight?"
Luffy asked excitedly.
"Don't waste time." Bai Yu interrupted Luffy's thoughts: "Your attacks can't hit the natural devil fruit ability users at all, just climb over the wall and leave."
"White snake!"
At this moment, a hoarse growl sounded.
Bai Yu and his companions couldn't help but turn their heads to look behind them.
At the entrance of the alley, Smoker came chasing on his three-wheeled motorcycle, and a thick white smoke rolled out.
"Straw Hat Boy Luffy!" Smoker got off the car expressionlessly, his ten hands spinning in his palms: "Blood Prison Black Crow Shirashima, and Blackfoot Sanji, your pirate journey will end here, prepare to be imprisoned in Impel Down!"
"What the hell!"
Sanji screamed in surprise, dodged Smoker's white snake by moving sideways, and kicked it at the same time.
But he was surprised to find his own offensive.
Strangely enough, he kicked into empty air and his foot sank into the smoke.
"This is useless Sanji."
Luffy glanced over and looked warily at Smoker not far away: "Our attacks can't hit him!"
"You go first!"
Bai Yu took a deep breath and at the same time unsheathed the Tsukimi Sake. The dark armament color domineering spread like flowing water and quickly wrapped around the blade of the Tsukimi Sake.
Then he slashed at the smoke that trapped Sanji.
"Armament Haki?"
Seeing this, Smoker's pupils suddenly shrank, and when he was about to be attacked, he quickly withdrew the smoke.
"He is a natural devil fruit user. His entity cannot be touched by normal means, unless you use armed color domineering or seastone to restrain him!"
Bai Yu stared straight at Smoker in front of him.
"It seems like there's news from headquarters."
"It's still a little inaccurate. I didn't expect that you would even know Armament Haki!" Smoker couldn't help but glance at Bai Yu, and was secretly shocked in his heart.
The white-haired young man in front of him had just been out to sea.
He actually possesses the power of Armament Haki.
"So amazing?"
"Then how are we going to fight?" Luffy and Sanji were obviously shocked when they heard this.
"Even if you have Armament Haki," Smoker said calmly, "But today, don't even think about leaving here. You can't beat me at all!"
As Smoker's voice fell.
A group of navy soldiers appeared behind him.
The fire flints in their hands were pointed at Luffy and the other two.
"Luffy, Sanji."
"I'll leave these miscellaneous soldiers to you."
As he spoke, the Tsukimi wine in Bai Yu's hand also ignited a dark red flame. However, this time it was a little different from the past, as it was enhanced by the Armament Haki.
The dark red flame turned into dark purple.
It looks like we have to have a fight today.
"Got it!" Luffy grinned and clenched his fists, "Bai Yu, be careful."
