for him.

The person who killed Doflamingo...

He was his benefactor.

…………

"Bear……"

Ivankov stared at the Tyrant Bear blocking his way, his pupils shrinking sharply.

Former comrades have now become enemies on the battlefield.

If you were to travel, where would you like to go?

Tyrant Bear looked at Ivankov and spoke, his voice as mechanical as a machine.

Ivankov's eyes welled up with tears.

"Absolutely! I absolutely must rescue you!"

……

Swish!

A dark green slash shot into the sky from the frozen sea, sending the elite marines and Whitebeard Pirates flying.

Hawkeye, carrying the world's number one black sword, walked step by step toward the battlefield between Whitebeard and Akainu.

........................

Under the watchful eyes of the entire world.

The Marineford War, which had reached a fever pitch surrounding 'Fire Fist' Ace, became increasingly chaotic and intense.

The Navy has the advantage in combat power, but these advantages cannot determine the outcome against Ron's extraordinary strength and the unexpected forces of Sabo and Luffy.

The outcome of this war is uncertain until the very end.

So far, none of the characters on either side with strength at or above the level of a near-general have died.

The turning point that will determine the outcome of this war has not yet arrived.

……

Below the execution platform.

"So strong!"

Panting heavily, Luffy stared at Green Bull and Momousagi ahead, his eyes filled with exhaustion.

"One is at the level of a near-general, and the other has the strength of a general..."

Sabo stared intently at the two men, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

"There's absolutely no way Luffy and I can get across here on our own."

He glanced back.

Ivankov and Jinbe were both entangled, and Zoro, Sanji, and the others were also locked in a fierce battle.

"Could it be... that this is the end?!"

Sabo looked at the person on the execution platform, who was clenching their teeth, their face full of resentment.

"There's a fight going on; it's not good to look around."

Green Bull appeared in front of Sabo with astonishing speed and threw a straight punch.

Even though Sabo used Armament Haki to harden his arms and cross them in front of him, he was still knocked back dozens of meters by a single punch, his arms trembling uncontrollably.

This shows how powerful that punch was.

"Who is this guy?"

Sabo stared intently at the Green Bull, who looked completely nonchalant in the distance.

The tall, imposing Green Bull, draped in a coat of justice and sporting long, curly green hair, stroked his chin, grinned at him, and said, "Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army, your name is Sabo, right?"

"I'm quite interested in your leader, Dragon. Didn't he come this time?"

Sabo's eyes narrowed.

Chapter 215, Kizaru... is dead!

not far away.

"Straw Hat Boy, is he Vice Admiral Garp's grandson?"

Momousagi easily dodged Luffy's machine gun-like punches after he activated Gear Second, and looked at Luffy in front of her with a smile: "You know Roon, right?"

"So what if it is? Rubber, rubber..."

"But why are you not even as strong as he was when he was 14? You can't save your brother Ace like this."

Momousagi dodged his kick by tilting her head, and thrust the hilt of her longsword forward, striking him squarely in the chest. Luffy was sent flying backward.

"cough!"

As Luffy flew backward, he looked at Ace on the execution platform. The distance of only a hundred meters seemed so far that he could never reach him.

"The difference in strength is really this great?!"

For the first time, Luffy, who was usually carefree, confident, and optimistic, deeply felt his own weakness.

He closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and let out a roar of resentment from the depths of his throat.

"Damn it!!"

A strange power erupted from his body.

That was the awakened Conqueror's Haki.

Although it was far less powerful than Ron's Conqueror's Haki, its eruption at that moment directly intimidated the less resolute elite Marines around him. As soon as the people in the square sensed that Conqueror's Haki, they all turned to look in that direction.

When I saw that the Conqueror's Haki was coming from Straw Hat Luffy.

Sabo, Jinbe, Ivankov, Zoro, Sanji, and the Marines like Momonga and Kashinyama all showed expressions of surprise.

"Conqueror's Haki... it actually comes from that Straw Hat Luffy?"

The flying squirrel was somewhat taken aback.

"Luffy……"

Ace stared blankly at Luffy, wondering how much he had grown in such a short time...

"Does that kid also have the potential to be a king?"

Sengoku on the execution platform narrowed his eyes, a murderous intent rising within him: "As expected, he cannot be allowed to continue living."

"Warring States."

Lieutenant General He turned to look at him, his brows slightly furrowed.

“Little Crane, the lesson I learned from that Ron is... no matter how small the flame, we can’t let it burn! Garp’s grandson is no exception.”

Sengoku's imposing figure, draped in a cloak of justice, rapidly expanded, transforming in a few moments into a gleaming golden Buddha. He raised his hand and slapped down at Luffy below the execution platform.

In the shrunken pupils of Sabo, Ace, and Garp.

The powerful shockwave, carrying killing intent, slammed down on Luffy.

boom!

The air distorted, and the ground within a radius of a hundred meters cracked inch by inch under the shock wave.

When the gale and dust cleared up.

A large crater appeared on the spot, and Luffy lay in the deepest part, covered in blood.

Life and death do not know.

Upon witnessing this scene, Ace's pupils contracted to a single point in an instant.

"Luffy!"

Sengoku's sudden attack on Straw Hat Luffy took everyone by surprise.

Even Ron, who had used his Observation Haki to cover the entire area, was surprised that this would happen so suddenly.

"Luffy……"

Sabo was furious.

"No way..."

Zoro and Sanji stared in that direction, their eyes wide with shock.

"Luffy!"

Ace stared intently at that spot, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth as he nearly ground all his teeth to dust.

"Warring States..."

Garp glared at Sengoku, who had transformed into a golden Buddha, and roared, "Why did you make a move?"
