Smoker looked at Akira in horror. He was a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, but Akira's kick had actually hit him, and it had also made him feel extremely painful.
"Used Haki?"
Smoker wasn't an ignorant person like Luffy. He knew about the existence of Armament Haki, but he hadn't learned it yet, so his understanding of Haki wasn't too deep.
"Are you alright?" After kicking Smoker away, Akira asked Luffy.
Luffy got up and said gratefully, "Thank you very much."
Akira said, "Rushing in recklessly won't save your brother. Be careful, I'll have someone provide cover for you. You just need to rush towards your brother's position."
Luffy nodded and said, "I understand, thank you again."
And at this time, Sengoku was already preparing to start his plan. They saw Sengoku pick up the Den Den Mushi, and then two executioners slowly ascended the execution platform, picking up their weapons, aiming at Ace.
"Fleet Admiral, everything is ready." A Navy soldier reported to Sengoku.
Sengoku said, "Are the personnel at the bay head ready as well?"
"Yes, everything is ready."
The audience around the world saw the executioners arrive in front of Ace, and all widened their eyes with curiosity. In this situation, the Navy was undoubtedly preparing to begin the execution, but it should be known that this time was still some time away from the execution time announced by Navy Headquarters.
The pirates belonging to the Whitebeard Pirates were all looking at the execution platform in surprise, each and every one of them becoming anxious.
Sengoku ordered in a deep voice, "Immediately cut off the signals of all video Den Den Mushi. This war was initiated by our Navy Headquarters and the World Government in the name of absolute justice, so we must win in the end. No matter what kind of means we use, but if civilians were to see this process, it would make them think that our methods are not glorious. So, there's no need to tell the world everything that will happen next, just let them know that the final victory is ours."
"Are they going to execute Ace ahead of schedule?"
Seeing the situation on the execution platform, Akira's gaze became sharp. At the same time, he discovered that the Pacifista that had already appeared before, were appearing in greater numbers from behind the pirates, surrounding the pirates on a large scale, the number was astonishing.
Seeing so many Pacifista appear, Thatch's expression also became very ugly. He had just spent a lot of effort to seal off more than a dozen Pacifista, but now the number of Pacifista had suddenly increased to fifty or sixty, and he had no ability to deal with so many at once.
A large number of Pacifista surrounded the pirates, and then began to push forward, preparing to force all the pirates into the bay, sealing the pirates within the bay; however, because Whitebeard had prepared in advance, the pirates weren't completely surrounded. The warships in the two directions on the left and right had been defeated, so even if the Navy wanted to surround the pirates, they could only attack from the front and back in a vertical direction.
And Sengoku did indeed issue such an order. Through the Den Den Mushi, he loudly instructed, "Immediately follow the original plan, attack the pirates within the encirclement. Remember, deal with the pirate crews under Whitebeard's command first."
They saw a large number of Pacifista chasing after the pirates frantically. Because they were Pacifista manufactured according to Kuma's prototype, their strength and defense were very terrifying, and they also had Kizaru's laser abilities added, so their attack power was also very terrifying. The Whitebeard Pirates were still alright, but the pirate crews under his command found it difficult to resist the Pacifista's attacks.
"You want to scheme against Pops? But with me here, you won't be able to succeed." Akira looked at Whitebeard in the rear. He knew the Navy's next plan, so he placed his hand on the hilt of the Death God Blade, his eyes becoming serious.
At this time, Sengoku issued the order to cut off the video Den Den Mushi signals, so in an instant, the world's broadcasts all went black, only one of the screens still had an image, but it had created a paused image, leaving all the viewers confused and puzzled.
They saw Buggy's image slowly appear on the big screen. This not only stunned the audience around the world, but even Navy Fleet Admiral Sengoku went berserk, angrily ordering people to solve the problem.
Akira looked at Buggy's location, his face full of speechlessness. Buggy in the original story had done this, and he didn't expect that his arrival still hadn't changed this situation. Although it wasn't as funny as it was in the anime, it still made Sengoku stomp his feet in anger.
In this tense moment, Akira's gaze had never left the Moby Dick. At this time, there was only Whitebeard left on the Moby Dick. Marco had also left Whitebeard because he had seen that the Navy was preparing to execute Ace ahead of schedule, preparing to find an opportunity to rescue Ace.
Because Luffy had been saved by Akira, he was once again heading towards the execution platform. Only Smoker was still blocking Akira's path, but Akira didn't put Smoker in his eyes. Instead, he said to Jinbe, who had followed up, "Jinbe, you continue to follow behind Luffy. If he encounters trouble, try to help him. As for the Navy wanting to execute Ace ahead of schedule, don't worry, leave it to me, they won't be able to succeed."
Jinbe still had a lot of confidence in Akira. He said, "Okay, I'll protect Ace's brother, you also have to be careful."
Suddenly, the Navy in the bay actually began to retreat quickly. This was Sengoku's order. He had already begun to implement his plan. Doing so was also in order to reduce more casualties. After all, the Pacifista's attack range was relatively large, and it might affect their own people. Moreover, this retreat was also for the subsequent plan.
As the Navy's plan unfolded, and a large number of Pacifista appeared, the Whitebeard Pirates were completely suppressed by the Navy. Many pirates died at the hands of the Pacifista. After all, for ordinary pirates, the Pacifista's attack power was terrifying, and their defense was also amazing. They were very difficult to deal with. What was even more terrifying was that there were a lot of these Pacifista, and their large-scale attacks were really hard to cope with.
However, what was somewhat strange was that the targets of those Pacifista were basically the pirate crews under Whitebeard's command. On the contrary, the Whitebeard Pirates themselves didn't suffer many attacks from the Pacifista.
Seeing this scene, Whitebeard was calm on the surface, but he was anxious in his heart. These pirates were all his family members who had gone through life and death with him, and every death was heartbreaking for him. So, he almost couldn't help but take action immediately.
Suddenly, a burst of footsteps came from behind. Whitebeard glanced at it with his peripheral vision, and saw a man holding a long sword come to his back, calling out, "Pops."
Whitebeard saw the person who had come and said, "Squard, are you alright?"
Squard walked to Whitebeard's side and said, "Yeah, I'm alright."
Whitebeard said, "Is that so? Why couldn't I contact you from just now? What's the situation at the bay head?"
Squard replied, "The pirate crews have suffered heavy casualties. I also took a shortcut and finally managed to get here."
Whitebeard wasn't surprised by Squard's answer, he just said in a deep voice, "Sengoku won't show any mercy, he will definitely use all his combat power to deal with us. It's fortunate that Akira suddenly appeared, otherwise the situation would be even more unfavorable."
Although Akira's appearance hadn't helped much, it had brought a lot of useful information.
Squard asked, "Pops, then do you know the Navy's battle strategy?"
Whitebeard said, "Sengoku and I are old acquaintances."
But Whitebeard didn't notice that, after he finished saying this sentence, Squard beside him shook all over, his eyes suddenly becoming very excited. He continued to say to himself, "However, being encircled by the Navy from the rear is just what I wanted. I also have to attack. Only by attacking in one breath can we rescue Ace."
Squard silently walked to a very close distance from Whitebeard and said, "Yeah."
However, Squard also didn't notice that, as he approached Whitebeard, a pair of eyes had been staring at him tightly. It was Akira, who was in the midst of the battlefield. Especially when he saw Squard was so close to Whitebeard, his hand directly gripped the hilt of the Death God Blade, and his eyes also became very sharp.
Akira thought in his heart, "It seems that things are indeed like in the original story. The Navy has still found Squard?"
Squard was an old member of the Whitebeard Pirates, and he was also familiar with Akira. Akira knew that Squard was a generous and straightforward person, but it was precisely because of this that he was often used by others.
"However, no matter what the reason is, daring to hurt Pops is unforgivable."
Squard stood next to Whitebeard, raised the long sword in his hand, and said slowly, "Pops, the forty-three pirate crews under your command, each of us has received your great kindness. For the sake of the Whitebeard Pirates, even if it means death, we won't hesitate."
Seeing Squard's appearance, Whitebeard thought that Squard had made up his mind, so he said with some apology, "I'm sorry, but this is..."
