Chapter 169: The Execution Begins (1)

When Douberman heard Ace's words, he unconsciously turned his head and looked towards the wooden house. There was a sense of fear deep in his eyes. The pace under his feet quickened slightly, and he wanted to leave Hell's Inferno early to avoid any accidents.

Inside the wooden house.

Lucas heard the sound, raised his head from the window, and looked at Ace, who was walking towards the door.

"We'll meet again." Lucas looked at Ace's back and smiled gently.

Then, he continued to lower his head and looked at the storybook sent by Bullet in his hand.

His words, his smile, no one saw it.

Outside the wooden house.

"Ace~w..." Jinbei was struggling. For a moment, he even wanted to run out to save Ace, but the iron chain held him back, and all his movements only made the chain ring.

"Is Ace going to be executed?" Buggy was shocked to see Ace disappear into the darkness, and there was a storm brewing in his heart.

At this moment, Jinbei thought of something, turned his head, and looked towards the wooden house, but he saw Lucas had come out of the courtyard and returned to the wooden house. A ghostly figure could be seen through the window.

"Lucas, please save Ace." Jinbei pleaded, and his voice was loud, hoping Lucas inside the wooden house would hear.

However...

The response for him was silence.

The black shadow behind the window was still reading the books by himself and didn't seem to respond out loud.

"It's such a shame to die so young." Someone smiled from the neighboring cell. When they said this, the conversation changed. "However, Ace and Lucas are not related to save his ass!"

At the same time, someone shouted, "Jinbei, are you still shouting? Stay in jail quietly. I heard that Ace will be executed publicly. This is very interesting. Roger was the last one to be publicly executed, right?"

Listening to the voices of the people around him.

Jinbei's heart sank.

Was his unanswered plea really the end?

Thinking of this, Jinbei's eyes turned red.

Inside the wooden house.

Lucas lowered his head and finished reading a story in the book.

"The Fox Repays the Debt, it's really interesting. Do even the people in this world have Beast Ear Control?" Lucas closed the book and temporarily placed the storybook on the next shelf.

"I thought that with all the trouble I've caused, this event would no longer happen, but it seems that the shackles of time cannot be stopped at all. This is a clear opportunity for the World Government, to save their faces from all the shame my ghosts have brought upon them!"

He leaned back in his chair, his eyes darkened, and he smiled softly, "I can't help but go to the execution. This is the best event to harvest scares."

As he spoke, Lucas had already opened the system panel.

This time, he directly called up the 'ghost' page and scrolled all the way down, looking at the column where he purchased ghosts!

[Ghost Gate: Where the ghost gate is located, and the fate of all ghosts is around, becoming an endless ghost domain, the price is 5000 fear points]

His gaze lingered slightly on it.

Lucas looked elsewhere.

[Cheap Ghosts: The lowest level and cheapest ghosts, without self-awareness, relying on remnants of instinctive action, can be expelled by ordinary and conventional means, the price is 1 scare point for 100 pieces]

Then, Lucas raised his hand and lightly tapped the system panel.

[Ding! Successfully redeem the ghost gate]

[Ding! Exchange for cheap ghosts]

[Ding! Ding! Ding!]

A series of successful redemption prompts, frantically sliding across the screen at this moment.

Under the escort of Haoshan and Douberman, Ace left Impel Down and arrived at the Marine Headquarters in secret at the fastest speed.

The execution platform had been set up.

Under the escort of the Marine executioner, Ace walked step by step.

The shackles on his body had not been lifted, and every step he took made a sound.

When he ascended to the high platform, his line of sight became wider and wider.

Ace raised his head and saw that the current headquarters was densely packed with marines, all ready to meet the war that could break out at any moment.

And beneath the execution platform, the three Admirals of this department were present. They sat in chairs, exuding a deep and terrifying aura.

Then.

Ace saw Sengoku and saw his grandfather, Garp.

He was silent and wordless, but he knew from his expression that there was no way to calm his heart.

Once, Roger entrusted Ace to Garp to take care of him. When Garp agreed and saw Ace, in his eyes, Ace and Luffy were no different. Both were his grandsons.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry, it's my choice." Ace said, his voice was very soft, but it was enough for Garp to hear.
