Chapter 256 Earth Release: Earth Flow Spear!
"Look, everyone! It's Fleet Admiral Sengoku's Devil Fruit ability!" a Marine exclaimed.
"What kind of ability is this?"
"I don't know, this is the first time I've seen it too."
The sailors were filled with shock as they looked at the figure that resembled a giant Buddha.
Although we don't know what kind of ability that is, but... since the Marshal has taken action, there's absolutely no way the Straw Hat Pirates can survive!
Thinking of this, excitement reappeared in the eyes of the navy men.
The white-bearded man, staring intently at the giant Buddha statue, frowned and said, "Straw Hat Kid, whether we can rescue Ace depends on this!"
Don't be afraid just because Sengoku is there, quickly unlock Ace's handcuffs!
"Straw Hat Boy!"
Sengoku, now transformed into a giant Buddha, coldly stared at Luffy and said, "You won't escape from my grasp!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sengoku raised his huge fist, intending to punch the two guys.
Just then, the two executioners on the execution platform suddenly trembled, and then the two slowly got up.
"Hmm... what's wrong with me?" Mr. 3 asked, looking confused.
Wasn't he here to save people? How did he suddenly lose consciousness?
"three?!"
Seeing Mr. 3's familiar face, Luffy was dumbfounded. Why was this guy here?
"Straw Hat Boy?!" Mr. 3 exclaimed in shock, "What are you doing here?"
"Ah, I've come to save Ai..."
Before Luffy could finish speaking, he noticed the face of another executioner.
"Little Feng?!"
"Straw hat!" Bon Clay exclaimed, snapping out of his daze. "You're here too?"
"Ah, I came here to rescue Ace, but why are you two here?" Luffy asked, puzzled.
"It's a long story," said Bon Clay.
However, he noticed something was wrong as soon as he finished speaking.
"Um?"
"Where did the golden light come from?"
Looking back at the enormous thing, Foncrae's eyes bulged out in shock.
"What...what is this?!"
Why is there such a gigantic golden giant here?!
Warring States Period: ...
Having witnessed all of this, Sengoku was completely speechless.
It's one thing for the Straw Hat Luffy to kill his way to the execution platform, but why are the two executioners also pirates?
"I don't know what happened, but at least we have a chance to save them!" Bon Clay struck his signature fighting pose and shouted, "Straw Hat, Little Three, hurry and save them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bon Clay jumped up and kicked Sengoku.
"Clang!"
Fon Klay:
Feeling the sharp pain in his calf, Feng Kelei's expression immediately changed.
"This...this hard?!"
Fon Clay lay on the ground clutching his leg, his eyes filled with horror.
"I'll do it."
Luffy handed the key to Mr. 3 and then said, "Three, protect Bon Clay and Ace, and find a chance to unlock the handcuffs!"
"clear!"
Mr. 3 didn't waste any words this time. He immediately crouched down and activated his Devil Fruit ability, creating a candle barrier to protect the three of them inside.
Then, Mr. 3 started to pick up the key to unlock the sea stone handcuffs.
At this moment, Luffy activated his Devil Fruit ability.
"Rubber Balloon!"
"Buzz~"
Luffy, having inhaled a large amount of gas, swelled up in the blink of an eye!
"Trying to use this to stop me?" Sengoku shouted. "How naive!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sengoku threw a punch!
"boom!!"
The heavy attack shattered the execution platform below!
"The execution platform has collapsed!"
"Was Straw Hat Boy defeated?!"
Looking at the collapsed execution platform, a hint of anticipation appeared in the eyes of the navy personnel.
The pirates were on edge, because they didn't know if Straw Hat Luffy had been killed or if Ace had been rescued!
"Fire! Blow up the Straw Hat Pirates!" a vice admiral shouted.
"But the Warring States Marshal is still up there."
"Marshal Sengoku won't be killed by the bomb, open it now!"
"yes!"
Without further ado, the navy, having received their orders, immediately launched an artillery barrage against the descending execution platform!
"Whoosh~"
"Whoosh~"
"Whoosh~"
A barrage of shells flew towards them, threatening to blow Luffy to pieces.
Just then, a flame shot out from the candle and slammed directly into the bombs.
"Fire Fist!"
"boom!!"
With a single punch, he blasted all the cannonballs into the air!
Upon seeing this, the pirates roared in anger.
"Great, Ace is free!"
"Well done, Straw Hat Boy!"
"profound!!"
"Buddha... howls~"
"They actually did it," Doflamingo said.
He was truly astonished that this straw hat kid could actually rescue someone right under the Fleet Admiral's nose!
"Hmph, it seems this kid wasn't just boasting," Crocodile said.
After saying this, the man turned and glanced in the direction of the white-bearded man, beginning to ponder when to leave.
"So he finally managed to rescue them?" Aokiji said, frowning.
Marco, glancing at Aokiji, said, "Looks like we won, Aokiji!"
"Don't be too happy yet." Aokiji glanced at the four figures charging downwards and said, "You haven't escaped yet!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Aokiji created two ice spears, intending to attack Ace in the distance.
But it was broken by Marco Reed as soon as it was made.
"Clang!"
Marco, having broken the ice spear, glared at Aokiji and said, "You won't lay a finger on them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Marco launched another attack, engaging Aokiji in a fierce battle to buy time for Ace and the others.
"Luffy, you just love to mess around," Ace said.
Hearing Ace's words, Luffy grinned and said, "I told you, even if you scold me, I'll still come to save you!"
"You rascal..."
Ace smiled helplessly. How could he possibly curse at the other party?
This kid went through a life-or-death ordeal to save him!
After shaking his head, Ace looked at the battlefield ahead and said, "Luffy, you can still move, right?"
"certainly!"
"Alright, follow me and let's fight our way to everyone!"
"profound!!"
After shouting, Lu called out, "San, Xiao Feng, keep up!"
"They're here!"
Mr. 3, who had been lying on the ground pretending to be dead, immediately got up and followed Bunkray and Luffy and the others as they fled into the distance.
"Damn it, they still managed to escape even though I was here," Sengoku said with a grim expression.
"Marshal of the Warring States Period, what should we do?!"
"Chase!"
Sengoku looked at their retreating figures and said, "Don't let them escape!"
"profound!!"
Upon receiving the order, the Marines roared and immediately gave chase in the direction Luffy and his crew were heading.
Meanwhile, Sengoku himself focused his gaze on the Xiyan clone who was staring at him from not far away.
"Marshal of the Warring States, right?" west Yan grinned. "I can't let you go after Lu and the others."
As soon as he finished speaking, west Yan slammed his hands on the ground and decisively activated his ninjutsu.
"Earth Release: Earth Flow Spear!"
As the ninjutsu was activated, a slight tremor began to appear on the ground of the Marine Headquarters plaza.
Then, some enormous, sharp muskets emerged from the ground and headed straight for the Warring States period!
As the homemade gun drew ever closer, Sengoku's eyes turned cold as he said, "I really was underestimated."
Then, he jumped up and struck west Yan with a palm!
"boom!!"
An incredibly terrifying shockwave erupted from Sengoku's hand, shattering those sharp ten spears into fragments of stone!
Then, the shockwave continued its relentless charge towards west Yan's clone!
west Yan: ? ? ?
As the shockwave drew ever closer, west Yan froze in shock.
No, that wasn't the strength I used when I hit Luffy earlier. With that thought in mind, west Yan's clone was struck by Sengoku's attack and vanished into white smoke.
"snort."
Sengoku snorted coldly upon seeing this, casually deactivated his Devil Fruit power, and returned himself to his original size.
"Whoosh~"
"click"
After landing, Sengoku focused his gaze on Luffy's back, his expression becoming somewhat complicated.
However, this look only appeared for a moment before Sengoku concealed it.
After a moment of silence, Sengoku shouted again, "Don't let the Straw Hats escape!"
"Yes, Marshal!"
Hearing Sengoku's words, the marines charged towards Luffy and his crew with even greater effort.
"What a strange guy."
Having received all of the clone's memories, west Yan turned to look in Zhan Guo's direction, a hint of doubt appearing in his eyes.
Just then, Borsalino said, "You sent those two guys posing as executioners, didn't you?"
Upon hearing this, west Yan turned to look at Borsalino, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Why do you say that?"
"Because you didn't attack those two this time, did you?" Borsalino said.
The first time he was to be executed, this guy decisively launched a ninjutsu attack, but this time he didn't.
This means that this kid knew who the two executioners were from the very beginning!
"I just don't know when he sent the person over," Borsalino murmured to himself.
Was it the time it fell from the sky into the water?
Thinking of this, Borsalino narrowed his eyes.
After hearing Borsalino's words, west Yan nodded and said, "More or less."
Although it's unclear how Mr. 3 ended up there, it's true that he was the one who delivered the Fun Clay.
"What a cunning little devil," Borsalino said.
"Hehe, thanks for the compliment~"
Seeing the upturned corners of west Yan's mouth, Borsalino's lips twitched slightly; he wasn't praising the brat.
After shaking his head, Borsalino turned his gaze to Luffy.
But before he could do anything, the pale gold spear was already stuck next to him.
"Clang!"
"I will not let you attack Luffy," west Yan said.
As he spoke, west Yan's eyes gradually sharpened.
Now that the person has been rescued, the next step is to escape safely from here!
What he had to do was prevent the Marine Admiral from chasing Luffy and his crew!
"What terrifying eyes," Borsalino said. "In that case..." Before he could finish speaking, he sensed the ground shaking, as if some enormous creature was rushing towards them.
"Um?"
Borsalino instinctively looked in the direction from which the sound came and was momentarily stunned.
"Is this... a pirate ship?"
Seeing the massive pirate ship charging towards them from the side, Borsalino asked in surprise, "It moves on land using its outer wheels, huh?"
This is indeed a feasible approach, but the question is, what is the other party's purpose in doing this?
Could it be... that they're planning to ram them to death with a boat?
Borsalino fell into deep thought.
"Isn't this the guy who stabbed the white-bearded uncle?" Xi Yan, frowning, stared at Squard standing at the bow of the ship for a while. "What's this guy up to?"
"Dad!"
"Everyone!"
"You all get out of here!" Squard roared. "We'll take care of this battlefield!"
"You bastard Squard, what exactly do you want?!"
"Are you trying to get yourself killed?!"
"That's right, that's what I plan to do," Squard said with his eyes closed. "After what I did to Father, I have no face to go back to the New World with you."
"So... let me die here!!"
Although the Blood-Eyed Ninja healed his father's injuries, the fact that he stabbed his father cannot be changed.
So... let him die here to atone for his sins!
"Those bastards!"
Seeing Squard's resolute expression, the white-bearded man's forehead veins bulged.
Does he need this kid to do this?!
"Father, hurry!" Squard roared, "I'll hold off these marines!!"
"Damn marines, come at me!"
"I'll be your opponent!!"
Squard drew his long sword from his waist, his eyes filled with madness.
Just then, a terrifying force acted on the pirate ship, forcibly stopping these enormous pirate ships in place!
"boom!!"
"Um?"
Squard, who had almost been thrown off, paled and asked, "What happened? Why has the ship stopped?"
"Hey...look at this!" a navy officer exclaimed in shock, staring at the white-bearded man's retreating figure. "Whitebeard actually blocked this ship with one hand!"
"What terrifying, monstrous strength!!"
Is this the power of the world's strongest man?
Even when severely injured, he can unleash incredibly powerful strength!
"What a terrifying man," Doflamingo laughed loudly.
Even in old age and frailty, and with serious injuries, he could unleash such terrifying power!
So... if it were a young Whitebeard, could he have taken down the Marine Headquarters?
He was very curious.
"Squard!" The white-bearded man looked up at Squard and said, "You little bastard, are you planning to have the white-haired man deliver the hair?!"
"Your sword strike wouldn't have killed me, so there's no need for me to do such a thing!!"
After saying that, the white-bearded man took a deep breath and then turned and left.
As Squard watched the white-bearded man walk away, tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.
"Dad."
