14 14 Straw Hat Luffy

"Ace, I'm here to save you!!!"

In the quiet Eternal Hell, an anxious and excited voice echoed, adding an unusually harsh tone to the atmosphere.

Three figures approached, their presence catching Whitebeard's attention.

The first to appear was a young man wearing a red jacket and a straw hat.

The strawhat boy didn't seem to expect to meet people here.

While stunned, he also stopped.

However, his expression quickly changed upon spotting Crocodile.

"Crocodile!"

"Hey, it's you, the strawhat brat!"

Crocodile smirked, releasing a smoke ring.

"Straw hat Luffy?"

Jinbei on the side saw Luffy and remembered everything Ace had said in the prison: "Is he Ace little brother? And he really made it to the sixth floor Eternal Hell!"

"There are more intruders. How interesting!"

World laughed.

Surprisingly, two groups managed to infiltrate the sixth level of Impel Down within a single day, something that had never happened before.

"But is this kid an enemy… or a friend?"

The corners of Redfield mouth were curved.

His hand rested calmly on the hilt of the umbrella sword.

"Damn it, the crocodile is here!"

"It seem like i need to defeat these people to save Ace. Are they all accomplices of Crocodile?"

Luffy was unaware of the identities of Whitebeard and his group.

However, after seeing Crocodile, he directly attributed Whitebeard and others as enemies.

So he gritted his teeth and opened the second gear.

As the skin turned red, steam rose from his body and rushed towards the group of people.

With his sights set on the formidable man with crescent moon beard standing in front, wielding a Bisento, Luffy shouted without hesitation.

"Gomu Gomu no Pistoll!"

With a swift flick of his arm, Luffy created a flurry of afterimages trailing behind him.

But just as Luffy was about to strike the muscular man, he noticed the man raising his arm and delivering a powerful punch towards him.

boom!

There was a loud noise.

The punch was so powerful that it shattered the air, unleashing a tremendous shockwave.

Without giving Luffy a chance to react, this shocking force swept through and hit him hard.

"Arggghhh!!!"

Luffy let out a scream as he was sent flying through the air.

Luffy's body slid along the ground for a long distance before finally coming to a stop.

Luffy trembled in pain as the intense agony spread throughout his body.

Despite his determination to stand up, the force of the previous punch surpassed his imagination. Even with his rubber-like body, he felt a sharp pain coursing through him. Despite his prolonged efforts, he remained unable to rise to his feet.

"he's… so strong!"

He lifted his head, his face filled with astonishment as he gazed at Whitebeard.

Since going to sea, he has also encountered many opponents.

He had managed to defeat not just one, but two Shichibukai.

Despite the strength of his opponents, he possessed the power to confront them.

However, the muscular figure of Whitebeard in front of him just needed one punch to defeat him.

And look at this person's expression.

The punch just now seemed effortless, as if it had no strength behind it at all!

"Straw hat boy, are you okay!"

The two companions who had been following Luffy finally arrived and exclaimed in shock when they saw Luffy's tragic condition.

"Did you encounter an enemy?"

The revolutionary army Emporio Ivankov with a unique big head, purple hair, and new kama shirt looked up.

But as soon as he saw the sight, he was immediately shocked.

He let out a surprised scream and leaped up in shock when he saw a figure with a crescent beard standing before him, gripping a Bisento.

"you you you...."

Ivankov pointed at Whitebeard, his face filled with disbelief.

Perhaps it was so surprised that after speaking for a long time, he didn't say a complete sentence.

"What's wrong?"

Inazuma also raised their gaze when he arrived alongside Ivankov.

But after seeing Whitebeard, like Ivankov, he trembled in shock and couldn't say a word.

"Be careful, this guy is very strong!"

After a long struggle, Luffy managed to stand up.

He took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on Whitebeard, steam rising from his body, indicating his readiness to launch an attack.

"Gomu Gomu no!"

With a loud roar, he tightly clenched his fists.

But before he could launch his attack, Ivankov swiftly leaped forward, and knock Luffy's head with a punch.

"Straw Hat, hold back!!!"

Luffy, caught off guard, was swiftly knocked down by a single punch.

Then he lifted his head and stared at Ivankov in confusion, wondering why Ivankov suddenly stopped.

At that moment, Jinbei also quickly spoke.: "Y"You're Straw Hat Luffy! Stop quickly, we're not your enemy!"

"Hee~"

"The Straw Hat kid, you're still as impulsive as ever, no matter what you do!"

Crocodile sneered: "Do you know who the person you just attacked was?"

"Huh?"

Luffy head was full of question marks.

"Sure enough, he was an idiot!"

Crocodile sneered at Luffy's confused look.

At the same time, he was a little upset about why he lost to such a stupid boy in the first place.

"What did you say!"

Luffy gave Crocodile a dissatisfied glare.

"Isn't it?"

"You should be thankful that this old man is showing mercy, otherwise you'd be dead from that punch!"

Crocodile blew out a smoke ring and chuckled.

"A member of the Revolutionary Army... Emporio Ivankov!"

Finally, Whitebeard spoke and glanced at everyone, recognizing Luffy and his party who had come to save Ace.

"I didn't expect that you would appear here!"

Ivankov took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

"Ah?"

Luffy on the side watched back and forth between Whitebeard and Ivankov, and finally couldn't help asking, "Who is he…?"

The people nearby almost fell to the ground when they heard this.

Then Ivankov grabbed Luffy by the collar and vigorously shook the other person's body. "Straw hat boy, don't you even know him?"

"???"

Luffy looked confused.

"In New World, there are four Emperor above all pirates, and one of them is known as the strongest man in the world!"

Ivankov spoke in a deep voice, and then looked at Whitebeard very solemnly: "And the person standing in front of me is none other than one of the Four Emperors—Whitebeard!!!"

"Whitebeard?!"

Luffy's eyes widened, and he remembered everything Ace had said to him: "Is he as famous as Shanks? Whitebeard?"

"Is he also Ace…Father?!"
