Warring States face darkened, his whole body suddenly glowed with golden light, and his body quickly turned into a huge golden Buddha statue at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Animal-type human fruit phantom beast species - the form of a giant Buddha.
Bathed in the golden Buddha's light, the Warring States Period was solemn and majestic, showing a terrifying momentum.
"what is this… "
Luffy opened his eyes wide and looked at Sengoku in surprise as he turned into a huge golden Buddha statue and overpowered him in terms of momentum.
There was no time to think, the huge fist had already rushed in front of Seng Guo.
Warring States raised his right palm.
Buzz —
There seems to be the sound of Buddha's bell ringing in the air.
A circle of white light burst out from Sengoku's palm, but was instantly covered by golden Buddha light, facing Luffy's attack.
Even though he didn't know Sengoku's abilities, Luffy's giant fist still hit Sengoku's right palm without hesitation.
The moment the fist bones touched the Buddha's palm, what Luffy felt was an impact that was difficult to resist.
Sengoku stood tall and motionless, and the shock wave erupted from his palms, hitting Luffy hard through his huge fist.
"Wow!"
Luffy's body shook violently, he raised his head and spit out a large mouthful of blood, and his huge fist was directly blown away by the shock wave.
"Luffy!!!"
Ace shouted uncontrollably.
Sengoku looked at Luffy flying backwards with cold eyes.
But just as he blasted Luffy away, Zoro slashed the steel frame under the execution platform with his sword.
Crunchy—
The execution platform that lost its support could not bear the weight of Seng Guo's enlarged body.
As a result, before it started to topple, the steel frame at the bottom was severely bent with a harsh sound.
"Um?"
Warring States looked down at the execution platform, which had suddenly tilted down, and his expression turned ugly for a moment.
This public execution, which should have ended perfectly, was actually ruined by a newly emerging rising star pirate group.
Under the execution platform.
Watching the execution platform topple over, the Straw Hats cheered up.
"Robin, Luffy is leaving it to you."
Sanji shouted to Robin, then stared at Ace whose power was restricted by the Sea Tower Stone.
Robin nodded.
"Soft spider web!"
Robin crossed his arms and materialized a web woven by his arms in advance at Luffy's landing point.
Luffy fell from the sky and hit the soft spider web, avoiding secondary damage.
After confirming that Luffy was okay, Sanji, Zoro, Franky, Usopp and others were highly focused and ready to work together to rescue Ace.
Bartolomeo's eyes glowed red, he turned on his sight color in advance, and made the starting position to use the barrier fruit ability - the index and middle fingers overlap each other.
In this rescue operation, what he has to do is not to show off, but to be able to open the barrier as soon as possible to protect his companions from harm.
Everything was within their expectations.
The sudden change attracted the attention of countless people present.
Even Whitebeard and Akainu, who had finished gathering their momentum, stopped their attacks one after another and looked at the unexpected execution platform with different expressions.
"That kid is..."
The image of Ace holding up a wanted poster and happily introducing Straw Hat Luffy to him flashed through Whitebeard's mind.
"A few mice actually touched it."
Akainu's face darkened, murderous intent surging in his eyes.
rumble-
The execution platform tipped forward.
As the tilt angle of the execution platform became larger, Sengoku and Ace's bodies lost balance and were about to fall to the ground.
Just when the Straw Hats were eagerly awaiting the moment, a scream suddenly sounded, like the sound of a willow branch slapping the air forcefully.
That was the sound of lead bullets cutting through the air.
The person who sent the lead bullets here was Maude.
Shadow flow, changing shape and form.
Maud's figure followed the lead bullet and landed lightly beside Sengoku.
"Shadow Nail."
As he waved his hand, several shadows separated from the honeycomb-like shadows gathered in the palm of his hand, quickly transformed into nails, and quickly landed on the shadow below the execution platform.
fixed.
The shadow spikes formed by the prisoner's shadow easily caused the steel frame below to separate and the severely bent execution platform to suddenly stop toppling, like a masterpiece made by a master of balance.
"Is it fixed?!!"
Franky looked at the bent steel frame of the execution platform in disbelief.
The points of contact between them were as thin as a toothpick, how could they support such a heavy execution platform.
"It must be Maud's ability."
"Master..."
"Maud!"
"What should I do? The execution platform didn't fall down..."
The Straw Hats looked up at Maud who was on top of the execution platform. They were shocked and felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
Warring States looked at Mod in surprise.
He really didn't expect that it would be Mod who would help him resolve this crisis.
Maude lowered his head to look down at the Straw Hats below and sighed: "What a terrible time to appear."
"Um?"
Hearing Mod's words, Warring States frowned.
Mod didn't care about Sengoku's reaction. He had already recovered most of the prisoner shadows, so he no longer needed to consider the balance of power.
The next thing to do is to collect Whitebeard's experience points as soon as possible.
But before that, if the Straw Hats successfully rescue Ace, the Whitebeard Pirates will definitely retreat quickly.
Although it is very likely that Whitebeard will choose to stay and end the story like in the original novel...
But no one can say for sure about this kind of thing.
Maude said expressionlessly: "If you show up at this time, you... may die."
As if in response to Mod's words, a gravitational field suddenly appeared and enveloped the Straw Hats.
After Mod, Fujitora took action.
Chapter 89 Yo, Ace
Based on intelligence, Maude knew that the Straw Hats would show up sooner or later.
Fujitora relied on his "eyesight" constructed from sight and color to see the transparent Straw Hats heading straight from the back city to the execution platform.
Now that the Golden Lion was suppressed, Fujitora no longer had to concentrate on controlling the four islands suspended above Marinevando.
The reason why we paid special attention to it before was largely because the deterrent power of these four floating islands was too strong.
After all, an oversight would have caused the golden lion to smash down the floating island.
The entire Marineland will sink into the sea in an instant.
The consequences are too terrible.
Fujitora naturally did not dare to be careless.
Now, due to the outstanding performance of Kizaru and hundreds of elite navy, the Golden Lion has no spare time to carry out the plan to smash the island onto Marineford.
Fujitora freed up his hands and immediately used the gravity field to suppress the Straw Hats' mobility.
"This heavy pressure is..."
"Ugh, my body is so heavy."
"It's gravity!"
Nami bent her knees, struggling to bear the gravity falling on her body, and looked at Fujitora as if she were a monster.
For a moment, they gathered under the execution platform and were pressed by the gravity field from top to bottom, making it difficult to move.
Boom—
The ground beneath their feet was suddenly pressed into a shallow pit by the gravity field, indicating that the strength of the gravity field was strengthening.
"Damn it, there's no way we can fight like this."
Sanji gritted his teeth.
The increasing pressure seemed to force them to the ground.
The rattan knotweed sword was slightly unsheathed, and his eyes were slightly opened, revealing the whites of his eyes.
If the Straw Hats hadn't suddenly appeared, Fujitora would have had his hands free and would have assisted Garp first, and then tried to deal with Marco's hidden danger in a short time.
It can only be said that the timing of the appearance of the Straw Hats helped Marco offset some risks invisibly.
On the execution platform.
Maud looked at the Straw Hats who were suppressed by Fujitora with a blank expression.
He just said to the Straw Hats: You might die.
This sentence is no joke.
In the midst of this huge wave that is about to change the times, even a person like Fujitora who doesn't believe in killing to solve problems will change his mind at the right time.
That is to say,
The moment the Straw Hats launched an attack on Sengoku and attempted to rescue Ace.
In order to nip the risk in the bud, Fujitora will not hold back.
It's not even a problem to destroy the Straw Hats.
after all,
This is war.
Putting aside the existence of Fujitora, Sengoku alone is not someone the Straw Hats can easily deal with.
but…
Near the execution platform, it's not just the Straw Hats who are a strange force.
There is also the revolutionary army headed by Sabo who sent the Straw Hats here.
"How long has it been since you ate the transparent fruit? Has it already developed to this extent? Sabo..."
Mod's eyes flashed red, and she glanced around, but could not find Sabo's location.
Obviously,
Sabo's exploration of the Transparent Fruit's abilities has reached a level beyond the reach of his previous users.
I am afraid,
