Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: The Second Live Broadcast Begins

For the next few days, the sky screen remained quiet. Meanwhile, Luffy had successfully broken into Impel Down and caused a massive uproar. However, when he finally reached the cell where Ace was held, he discovered that the Marines had already taken Ace away ahead of time. So, Luffy set out once more. With the help of Bentham (Bon Clay), he successfully escaped Impel Down and continued on his journey to rescue Ace.

["Ding! The second live broadcast is starting!"]

["This famous scene is: 〈Such Deep Affection, I'm Truly Grateful〉."]

["Before the famous scene begins, the follow-up to the previous video will be played. Please watch."]

[Straw Hat Luffy: Ace! Can you see this? Wait for me! I'm coming to save you!]

Luffy had previously dared not speak, worried that the staff of Impel Down would discover his plan to break in and prepare for him. But now that Ace had already been taken away, he no longer needed to hide and spoke directly on the sky screen. And it wasn't just Luffy; others did the same.

[Marco the Phoenix: Ace, the old man and I are coming too!]

[Whitebeard Edward Newgate: Gurararara! Ace, my son, wait for me to come save you.]

[Fire Fist Ace: Luffy, Pops, everyone... This is all my own fault. Don't take such risks for me!]

[Straw Hat Luffy: What are you saying, you idiot! I'm your brother!]

[Whitebeard Edward Newgate: Gurararara! As your father, if I can't even save my own son, what face do I have to call myself your father?]

Marine Headquarters, Marineford Ace, imprisoned here, watched the messages on the sky screen, moved beyond words.

[Kaido of the Beasts: So it seems there's a good show coming up, Urororororo!]

[Big Mom Charlotte Linlin: Mamamama! For old times' sake, old man Whitebeard, if you want help, you can try begging me. I might just help you?]

[Whitebeard Edward Newgate: Gurararara! You brat Kaido, Linlin, you're underestimating me too much. I am Whitebeard!]

[Diamond Jozu: Don't look down on us! We are the world's strongest pirate crew!]

[Little Oars Jr.: I will save my friend, Ace!]

...

More and more people began speaking on the sky screen, declaring their intent to save Ace. It was upon seeing Luffy's message that his crew finally learned of the situation.

[Pirate Hunter Roronoa Zoro: Luffy, your brother's in trouble? Wait for me, I'm on my way! I just found a guide.]

[Black Leg* Sanji: Luffy, I'll find a way there too.]

[Devil Child Nico Robin: I will help as well.]

[Cyborg Franky: SUUUPER! Wait for me!]

[Soul King Brook: Yohohohoho! Lord Luffy's brother? Then I shall assist as well!]

[Cotton Candy Lover Chopper: Luffy, I'll come help as fast as I can too!]

[Cat Burglar Nami: And me! Luffy, please wait for us!]

[God Usopp: Even though I've come down with a strange disease that prevents me from going to islands... for Luffy, I'll help!]

[Straw Hat Luffy: Everyone... thank you. But saving Ace is my responsibility. You don't need to risk yourselves for me. Remember our promise! Wait for me to save Ace, and then we'll meet again!]

[Pirate Hunter Roronoa Zoro: You're our captain! What kind of crew lets their captain face danger alone? Wait for us!]

[That's right! x7]

[Straw Hat Luffy: Everyone... sobbing...]

Luffy was deeply touched by his crew's resolve. Meanwhile, the follow-up to the Enies Lobby incident began playing on the sky screen.

〖"Everyone, let's go!" With Luffy's rallying cry, everyone leaped from the top of the tower, charging toward where Robin was. By now, Spandam had already taken Robin and left, but he ordered CP9 to stay behind and fight the Straw Hats. To get all the Seastone handcuff keys, the Straw Hat crew split up to fight their respective opponents.

Luffy's opponent was Blueno, a user of the Door-Door Fruit (Paramecia-type), who could open doors anywhere. After activating Gear Second and defeating him, Luffy faced off against the ultimate killing machine, Rob Lucci. Meanwhile, Sanji, unwilling to fight a woman, was paired against Kalifa. Unsurprisingly defeated, he was replaced by Nami. Nami's original opponent, Kumadori, was then handed over to Chopper. As for Franky,he fought Fukurou.

Using his Cola energy, he defeated his opponent, securing the first victory. After Chopper won his rampage-fueled fight, Nami also won her match using her Mirage Tempo. Then, the scene shifted to show Roronoa Zoro, wielding the cursed sword Sandai Kitetsu ("Sandai" meaning "third generation," part of its name), facing off against Kaku (the giraffe Zoan user) and Jabra (the wolf Zoan user).

At first, Zoro was at a disadvantage. But after Nami brought him the key, Zoro used "Asura — Ichibugin!!!" to defeat Kaku. Sanji also arrived in time,saving Nami and Usopp from Jabra. He then proceeded to stylishly kick Jabra down, avenging his earlier shame. Only Luffy was still fighting. On the other side, Spandam, who was preparing to leave, accidentally triggered the Golden Den Den Mushi, activating a Buster Call. Realizing this, he decided to abandon everyone else and flee alone.

But just as he was about to cross the Gate of Justice with Robin, an explosive projectile struck him, sending him flying over ten meters away. Then,a continuous barrage of projectiles took down the Marines present one by one. It turned out that from the top of the Tower of Justice,Sniper King was fighting with his slingshot. Thanks to Sniper King's covering fire,Franky managed to arrive and rescue Robin. But then,the sky filled with countless dark cannonballs that began bombarding Enies Lobby. The Buster Call had been activated!〗

The video ended once more at this point.

[Buggy the Clown: What's going on? Why did it stop here? How did Straw Hat and his crew possibly escape a Buster Call?]

[Civilian 1: I can't believe I've witnessed two Buster Calls in a row. It's truly terrifying.]

[Smoker: That idiot Spandam! What is he doing?!]

[Queen the Plague: That cyborg, Franky... what kind of shoddy modifications are those? Trashy.]

[Dr. Vegapunk: This old man finds his ideas quite bold. They might become even better in the future.]

[Donquixote Doflamingo: Fufufufu! Vegapunk, you've shown yourself too. Interesting, very interesting.]

[Marine 1: Dr. Vegapunk? The Marine's genius scientist, Vegapunk? He actually appeared and even praised that pirate cyborg?]

[Marine 2: I think the real point isn't that. If I remember correctly, there's a considerable distance between the Tower of Justice and that bridge. A gun might not even reach it. How did Sniper King manage it with a slingshot?]

[Marine 3: Exactly! And with the unpredictable winds there... the fact he could hit his target with a slingshot is unbelievable.]

[Marine 4: The first shot could be luck, but the second, third, and countless subsequent shots prove his sniping skills are exceptional.]

Meanwhile, on Boin Archipelago (the "Plant Island"), Usopp, who was currently training, felt a surge of excitement seeing so many people praising him. He had previously been deceived by the island's delicious food, eating nonstop until he became very fat. After learning about Luffy's brother's crisis, he wanted to help. Unfortunately, his current body could barely move, let alone accomplish anything.

Fortunately, his teacher on the island was willing to help him. For Luffy's sake, Usopp was now training hard. The training was grueling,and he had just started wanting to give up. But now, seeing so many people praising him, he felt he could persevere and keep working hard.

Meanwhile, on the Red Hair Pirates' ship...

Yasopp, seeing Usopp's performance, couldn't help but laugh heartily. "That's my son! That's my son! Hahahaha!"

"Oh! As expected of Yasopp's son! Amazing!" said the fat man, Lucky Roux.

"Indeed, his accuracy is on par with yours, Yasopp," remarked the navigator, Benn Beckman, with feeling.

"Hahahaha!"
