Sengoku's expression was first stunned, and then he roared with a face full of anger.
On the contrary, Garp, who was sitting on the side, had his expression change. He had felt the blade of light when it arrived, but with a complicated mood, he didn't stop it.
"That slash!"
Mihawk, who was in the plaza, saw the crescent-shaped slash, and his gaze immediately shifted to Akira. He knew that only Akira could unleash that kind of slash.
"It's you again."
Sengoku roared angrily, his gaze fixed on Akira, who was wearing a black shihakushō on the city wall. His gaze wanted to devour Akira alive.
Many people were surprised as they looked at Akira, because his distance was very far from the execution platform. His slash could actually reach such a long range.
"It was Akira who saved Ace, that's great."
The pirates all shouted excitedly. Ace not dying was the best thing for them. Luffy was also looking at Akira excitedly, his eyes filled with gratitude.
"Your speed is still fast. It didn't even give me a chance to take the stage."
A blue figure landed next to Akira, and said to Akira with a relaxed tone. It was Marco.
When he saw that Ace was about to be beheaded just now, Marco had already taken action, but before he could arrive, Akira had already taken the lead and killed the executioners.
Akira said, "Don't be careless. Since the Navy has decided to execute Ace ahead of schedule, they definitely won't give up easily. This time I was able to save him, but next time they will definitely guard against me."
His mind was very clear. He knew that he had caught them off guard this time. Sengoku hadn't reacted, and Garp hadn't meant to take action, so he was able to save the person easily. Next, with Sengoku on guard, it wouldn't be so easy for him.
With the execution unsuccessful, Sengoku could only order people to find executioners again. A public execution was sacred, and it had to be executed by executioners. Now that they had violated the time, they had to follow the rules in terms of the execution method.
At this time, many people from the Whitebeard Pirates had entered the plaza through Oars's place. Even Whitebeard had entered the plaza. They saw Whitebeard leading a group of Whitebeard Pirates standing below the plaza's city wall. The pirates behind him were also quickly passing through the gap. Oars's gap had been completely occupied by the pirates. No matter how angry Sengoku and the others were, they could only watch as the pirates slowly entered.
"We finally entered the plaza!"
"We can save Ace, Ace, wait for us."
"The opportunity has finally come. Navy Headquarters, be prepared. We will definitely rescue Ace!"
"..."
Sengoku and Garp on the execution platform had very ugly expressions as they looked at the pirates who had rushed into the plaza. Garp couldn't help but sigh, "We've been played, I didn't expect that a rat hole would actually be so cleverly used in the end. In this way, the encirclement wall will instead become our stumbling block."
Sengoku clenched his fists, looking at Whitebeard and the others, and said, "It's all because of that brat and the damn demon."
When Oars saw that the last pirate had also entered the plaza, he finally ran out of strength, and his whole person fell down. This time, he was really dead. All the pirates silently looked at the fallen Oars, unable to speak for a long time.
Even Whitebeard revealed a look of grief. He gripped the great naginata, slowly walked to the front, and looked at the countless Navy soldiers. His expression was very stern and serious. The Navy soldiers closest to him, seeing Whitebeard, all retreated in horror. Although they all raised their weapons, no one dared to make the first move.
Looking at the dense crowd of Navy soldiers in front of him, Whitebeard was very clear that if he couldn't tear open a gap, his crew wouldn't be able to approach the execution platform, let alone rescue Ace.
"Little ones, all retreat a little!"
Whitebeard shouted loudly, and then raised the great naginata in his hand, slashing down at the Navy soldiers in front of him. In an instant, a terrifying tremor force came from the great naginata. Those Navy soldiers in front were directly smashed away by the huge tremor force. With one strike, at least hundreds of Navy soldiers were killed or injured, which was very horrifying.
"As expected, Pops's power is the most suitable for clearing the way."
Seeing that Whitebeard had opened a path with one strike, Akira's eyes flashed on the city wall. He was somewhat envious. Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit power was indeed very terrifying. Whether it was attack power, or anything else, it had been developed very perfectly.
Marco said, "Pops has also started to get angry. I understand what he means. He wants to attract the Navy's attention, to create opportunities for us. Next, it's up to us. This is our chance, we must seize it."
No matter what, for the Navy, Whitebeard's threat was the greatest. Now that Whitebeard was attacking with all his might, they were naturally extremely wary. Even if it wasn't 100% of their attention being drawn, at least 70-80% of the people would be attracted by Whitebeard. So, this was a very good opportunity for the others in the Whitebeard Pirates.
Akira said to Marco, "Keep an eye on the opportunity. Our goal is to rescue Ace, not to fight Navy Headquarters to the death. Once we rescue Ace, our goal will be achieved."
For Akira, he had never thought about really fighting Navy Headquarters to the death. Even though he had been locked up by the Navy for ten years, he knew very well in his heart that even if he hated Navy Headquarters, now wasn't the time to fight Navy Headquarters. Because the timing and location weren't good for them.
Of course, the most important thing was that he knew the man hidden behind this war. He was the most difficult to deal with.
"Marco, have you seen Ace's brother? He might be the key to us rescuing Ace." Akira said.
Marco asked in surprise, "You're talking about that Straw Hat kid? I admit that he's indeed not bad, and he's done better than the others, but with him alone, wanting to break through the Navy's encirclement, is that possible?"
Akira said, "Don't underestimate that kid. He has an amazing aura of dominance hidden within him, he has a lot of potential. Moreover, with one more person, we'll have one more hope. He's also Garp's grandson. Maybe he can play a key role at a crucial moment, so we can't let him die."
"What do you want to do?" Marco asked.
Akira said, "I still have some threat in the eyes of the Navy. Although I haven't fully recovered, it's not a big problem to contain one or two admirals. Now Pops has also taken action, and will inevitably attract the Navy's full attack. So, we should keep an eye on the Straw Hat kid. If we have an opportunity, we'll go save the person. If we don't have an opportunity, we'll create an opportunity for that kid. Don't worry, I won't misjudge people."
Akira wasn't just trusting his own judgment, he was also trusting his memory. In the original story, Luffy was able to rescue Ace. Now, with him added, and their situation now being much better than the Whitebeard Pirates' situation in the original story, and Whitebeard not being injured, he would definitely be able to attract more Navy soldiers. In that case, Luffy's opportunity would be even greater.
Akira remembered that in the original story, Luffy was finding it difficult to move, and at this time, he seemed to be about to run out of strength. But now, because Akira was attracting most of the attention, so far, Luffy hadn't been blocked by the Navy admirals, except for when he had just rushed in alone. But that level was still acceptable for him.
"Do we need to tell Pops?" Marco asked Akira.
Akira's eyes turned, and he said, "Yes, Pops is in a good state right now. If we say those words, it might make the Navy unable to figure out whether it's true or false, which would be extremely advantageous to us."
In the original story, Whitebeard had said that he would fully cover Luffy when he was powerless. But now, whether it was Whitebeard, or the others in the Whitebeard Pirates, their condition was much better. If they said those words, and then Whitebeard and Akira and the others fully charged forward, it would definitely make the Navy flustered.
Marco laughed, "I'll go tell Pops. I hope our strategy can really trick the Navy."
"Deceive with falsehood, and deceive with truth!"
Akira had a smile on his face. He wanted to see who the Navy would focus their attention on, Whitebeard, him, or Straw Hat Luffy. But no matter who they focused on, the others would have an opportunity.
While Akira and Marco were talking, Whitebeard had already prepared to use his abilities again, but just at this time, Navy Admiral Aokiji suddenly rushed out, and at the instant Whitebeard made his move, he froze Whitebeard all at once.
They saw cold air invade Whitebeard's body, quickly freezing Whitebeard's huge body.
