He wouldn't kill Ace because he didn't want to offend Garp, didn't want to be targeted by the Straw Hats, and didn't want to get beaten up by Whitebeard.
Besides, it's too shameful for a pirate to escape only to be caught and killed by the Navy.
To die on the execution platform is the best way to die.
"Ace..."
At this moment, the white-bearded man, who had barely managed to stand, revealed a look of sorrow in his eyes.
He asked the question because he thought he also knew that Ace was likely beyond saving, but he didn't expect that just as he was about to fight desperately, his body couldn't withstand it.
Garp, standing below, had a terrifyingly gloomy expression.
He had just seen Ace glance in his direction, and the look of gratitude in his eyes made him want to rescue him for a fleeting moment.
From a young age, he was a polite child who never caused trouble for others.
One is a navy officer, and the other is a pirate. In this situation, there are some things that cannot be said.
However, precisely because of this, precisely because of this...
Garp clenched his fists, his body trembling slightly. "So, why did you become a pirate, Ace!"
"Go! Take down the Whitebeard Pirates!"
Akainu roared and charged towards Whitebeard.
"Aaaaaah!!!"
Suddenly, a loud voice echoed across the square. The straw hat boy was seen kneeling there, roaring to the sky, his eyes filled with unconsciousness.
"Dad, Ace, he..."
One of the captains wiped away his tears and looked sadly at the white-bearded man.
Whitebeard was silent for a moment, then glanced at Luffy, who had lost consciousness, and said, "Take the straw hat with you."
He gripped the Murakumogiri with both hands and swung it fiercely at the oncoming Akainu.
Boom!!!
The earth shattered, and the tremors became even more violent. This time, the execution platform was not spared and collapsed after a violent tremor.
Sengoku emerged from the ruins, his naval cloak billowing in the wind, and looked solemnly at Whitebeard.
Kuro floated in the air, clicking his tongue: "That's fucking terrifying..."
This attack caused many of the pursuing navy personnel to fall to the ground.
Akainu was forced back several steps by the attack, and he also slammed a magma fist into Whitebeard's body, causing another wound to his body.
"Don't let them escape!"
Akainu shouted, "Completely annihilate the Whitebeard Pirates, and..."
He retreated to a position that was just a little closer to the Straw Hat Boy.
"This son of the dragon is also a sinner, and must not be spared!" He raised his arm, which was radiating lava, and was about to throw a punch.
Suddenly, he felt a strong gust of wind rise behind him and instinctively threw a punch.
Bang!
Whitebeard's fist, brimming with vibration, clashed with Akainu's magma fist. The shockwave shattered Akainu's magma, engulfing his body and causing blood to trickle from his mouth.
"You can't kill someone in front of me!"
Whitebeard, veins bulging on his forehead, glared at Akainu. After throwing a punch, he clenched his fist again and suddenly said to the pirates, "You can all leave now. I'm not going with you..."
"Dad, we can escape from here together. We'll hold him off, you get out of here first!" Vista gripped his sword with both hands, ready to face Akainu.
Whitebeard shook his head, and his clenched arm suddenly swelled up. "I am a remnant of the old era, and there is no ship for me to board in the new era!"
"Haunted Dog!!"
At the same time, Akainu fearlessly launched an attack, his magma fist suddenly extending into claws, grabbing at Whitebeard.
Bang!
This blow ripped off half of Whitebeard's face.
At that moment, Whitebeard's fist also came crashing down, striking Akainu's body hard. This punch slammed Akainu to the ground, and the roar of Marineford was deafening. The entire island was shattering. Under his fist, a huge crack appeared in the ground, knocking Akainu down into it.
At the same time, this rift also separated Whitebeard from the group of pirates.
"Dad voluntarily cut ties with us..."
By this time, Marco had already had the sea stone removed. Seeing Whitebeard standing there leaning on his naginata, tears welling in his eyes, he took a deep breath. "Whitebeard Pirates, retreat! Don't let our father's good intentions go to waste!"
Having followed him for so many years, he naturally knew that his father's health was failing and he wanted to end his life here. Therefore, he and the others should not become a burden to their father, and it was most important to remember his instructions.
"We can't let you escape."
Kizaru appeared on the other side of the rift, blasting a group of pirates with a laser. He then looked back at the large rift and exclaimed in surprise, "How terrifying! Whitebeard even knocked Sakazuki down!"
But it was obvious to everyone that he was truly beyond saving.
There's no need to deal with him; he'll die on his own in a few moments.
So, the current objective is, of course, to pursue and eliminate the Whitebeard Pirates.
Kizaru began sweeping away the pirates, while Aokiji appeared on the other side, dealing with the Whitebeard Pirates.
Although, in Kuro's opinion, these two guys seemed to be just slacking off.
Of course, he has no right to criticize others; he's watching the show from the sky right now.
The closer this old guy gets to the critical point, the more dangerous his aura becomes. If you try to rush in hoping to get a kill...
At least Kuro couldn't withstand the attack that Akainu just took.
"Look, what's that?!"
Suddenly, a group of marines chasing the pirates looked towards the rear of headquarters.
Behind the tallest building, there was a body even larger than him, peering out and watching what lay ahead.
The enormous body, at least a hundred meters long, nearly two hundred, was dressed in prison clothes and had an enormous head. Upon being discovered, it scratched its head and said, "Ah... I've been discovered."
