Chapter 235 : Navy’s conspiracy!!

[The ocean currents, inexplicably, froze in the sky!]

[Their ships remained suspended upon them, as if held by some unseen force.]

[This, of course, was the handiwork of Aokiji!]

[However, Luffy and his crew were unaware of this fact.]

[Desperate to descend from towering waves hundreds of meters high, they had no choice but to take a perilous gamble.]

[They let their entire pirate ship plummet directly from the sky.]

[And so, the scene unfolded as follows:]

[The moment Luffy emerged, his gaze fixated on Ace standing upon the execution platform.]

[With unwavering resolve, he cried out, "Ace, I'm here to save you!"]

[His voice carried with such intensity that it echoed throughout Marineford.]

[Ace, upon spotting his brother, felt a surge of relief, quickly replaced by a pang of anxiety.]

[He knew all too well the perilous situation in Marinefando. Luffy's reckless arrival only added to the danger.]

[Yet, Luffy paid no heed to the risks. The instant he appeared, he unleashed a barrage of rubbery attacks, sending marines flying.]

[Without hesitation, he charged forward!]

[Ace's rescue wasn't the only thing stirring emotions.]

[Even figures like Sengoku, Garp and the three admirals wore expressions of surprise!]

[Luffy's unexpected arrival caught them off guard.]

[Garp, already grieving over Ace's impending execution, was dumbfounded to see his other grandson, Luffy, appear on the scene.]

[What was this reckless boy thinking?]

[As a fellow pirate, what if something were to happen to him?]

[Similarly, Sengoku was taken aback. Even though Luffy was Garp's grandson, Ace's actions left Garp disappointed in himself and others.]

[If there was another Luffy, would Garp have betrayed him on the spot?]

[Upon witnessing this spectacle, Whitebeard burst into immediate laughter.]

[He understood that Luffy, being Garp's grandson, possessed the audacity to charge straight toward the heavily guarded execution platform.]

[It was solely up to him now!]

[Despite the odds stacked against him, and even with Marco, the strongest member of his crew, failing to breach the encirclement and being repelled by Garp's iron fist.]

[As a contemporary, Whitebeard was well aware of the sheer might behind Garp's punches!]

[Even he questioned his own capability to confront Garp and rescue Ace.]

[Thus, all hopes rested on Luffy's shoulders.]

[Whitebeard swiftly commanded his crew: "Provide cover for Luffy and pave his way to Ace's rescue!"]

[At Whitebeard's directive, a momentary silence ensued!]

[Numerous captains of the Whitebeard Pirates rallied their crews and began actively assisting Luffy!]

[They fought off hordes of marines, carving a path directly to the execution platform!]

[Luffy wasted no time and dashed forward with unwavering determination.]

[In this moment, it seemed that fortunes were shifting in their favor.]

[With each step Luffy took toward the execution platform, the odds of Ace's rescue grew ever stronger.]

The crowd erupted into cheers at the sight of this unfolding drama. Could Luffy truly save Ace?

At the same time, in the water city!

Luffy remained fixed on the sky, his expression grave and unwavering.

His gaze held an intensity that brooked no distraction.

Surrounded by his comrades – Zoro, Nami, Robin, and the rest – he couldn't help but feel a sense of astonishment as he watched the live broadcast.

It was perplexing. Luffy, seemingly on a mission to rescue Ace, was undertaking it alone, without any of his friends by his side.
