"Whitebeard, you are really patient." Luo Heng waved Anubis in his hand and easily knocked away several pirates who were rushing towards him.
But his eyes always switched back and forth between the most important figures on the battlefield.
As the war entered a white-hot stage, the three admirals, the seven warlords of the sea, the pacifists, the devil Oz, including the straw hat boy who escaped from the underwater prison and others, all stepped onto the stage of the top war.
Whitebeard was stabbed in the abdomen by Squardo, who was provoked by Akainu's strategy of sowing discord, but this instead aroused his ferocity and he personally joined the battlefield to fight with the navy.
Zhan Guo stood on the execution platform, constantly scanning every corner of the battlefield.
Several of the Seven Warlords of the Sea were fighting with the pirates. Even though they did not use their full strength, they became an insurmountable barrier in front of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Especially Crocodile, who he had been worried about, unexpectedly did not cause any other trouble, which made him feel relieved.
The iron wall of the bay below the execution platform was pressed down tightly by the huge body of Little Oz, leaving a gap leading to the execution platform.
After Whitebeard personally took the field, under the powerful attack of his Tremor-Tremor Fruit, Whitebeard and his sons were unstoppable and were getting closer and closer to the execution platform.
Sengoku finally couldn't bear it any longer. Even if he lost the war, he wanted to cut off the Pirate King's bloodline here.
"Start the execution!" Zhan Guo ordered the executioner.
Sengoku's sudden order to execute Ace caught all members of the Whitebeard Pirates off guard.
Whitebeard, Luffy, Jinbe, and all of Whitebeard's captains were all horrified at this moment and shouted Ace's name.
They had clearly gone through a lot of hardships to finally get so close to Ace. If they just tried a little harder, they could rescue Ace.
However, this short distance of less than 100 meters became a huge gap between life and death.
Even if Whitebeard was the strongest man in the world, he couldn't save his son in that short moment.
"Crocodile! I agree to your terms!"
A figure suddenly flashed through Whitebeard's mind. Perhaps at this time, he was the only one who could save Ace.
There was no time for him to hesitate any longer. Whitebeard roared decisively, and the sound resounded throughout the entire battlefield!
When Zhan Guo heard this, he immediately had a very ominous premonition.
The only person present who could make a figure like Whitebeard ask for help, and whose name also contains the word "crocodile", except for the insidious fellow Crocodile, there is absolutely no other candidate.
"Do it!" In order to prevent any accidents from happening, Zhan Guo did not dare to delay for even a second and shouted.
The two executioners immediately raised their long swords and slashed at Ace's neck.
"I've been waiting for you to say this for so long, Whitebeard." Luo Heng grinned. His best moment had finally arrived.
Without hesitation, he swung his left hand from bottom to top.
Just when the two long swords were about to hit Ace, two sharp blades made of sand suddenly emerged from the execution platform.
A flash of blood appeared, and the two executioners were pierced through the chest by the desert sword thrown by Luo Heng, and then flew down to the execution platform.
"You bastard, I thought you and Whitebeard have an irreconcilable feud that would be of help to us, Crocodile." Zhan Guo cursed with bloodshot eyes.
"Reporting to Marshal Sengoku, more than ten Den Den Mushi used for live broadcasts were stolen by an unidentified person and hidden in various locations throughout the fortress. The live broadcast to the whole world has begun again!" An officer ran to the execution platform in panic and reported loudly.
"What? We must do everything we can to find them out quickly! Not a single one can be left behind!" Upon hearing this, Zhan Guo's back was immediately soaked with cold sweat.
The reason why the live broadcast had to be shut down in advance was because the subsequent footage could no longer be seen by the world, as this would greatly affect the reputation of the Navy and the World Government.
But now that the Den Den Mushi has been stolen and live streaming has been restarted, it is tantamount to a huge political crisis for him.
It is unlikely that Whitebeard would have such complicated thoughts, so among all the people present, only the conspirator Crocodile had such a motive for committing the crime.
"What on earth are you going to do? Have you thought about the consequences of doing this?" Zhan Guo pointed at Luo Heng and yelled.
"Fire Fist Ace, I'm protecting you today."
"Whitebeard's life belongs to me too!"
"Consequences? I'm not worried at all."
"All I know is that you so-called navy have tarnished the word justice."
"As slaves and lackeys of the Celestial Dragons, how much innocent blood is stained on your hands?"
"In order to satisfy the extravagant and licentious Celestial Dragons, you can turn a blind eye to any crimes they commit, or even become an accomplice."
"Members of the World Government are required to pay exorbitant amounts of Heavenly Gold every year in order to obtain the Navy's protection."
"Where does this money come from? It all comes from the cruel exploitation and oppression of ordinary people by the king and the nobles."
"And those non-member states that are unable to pay the Heavenly Gold have become the preserves for you self-proclaimed righteous people to plunder to your heart's content."
"The vast majority of people in this world are suffering in dire straits because of you."
"Don't you feel ashamed to be wearing the word justice?"
"In my eyes, you are nothing more than a group of pirates wearing the cloak of justice."
"No, you are even worse than pirates. At least pirates don't pretend to be good people."
Luo Heng had taken out a loudspeaker Den Den Mushi from his pocket at some point, and during this highly anticipated live broadcast, he angrily criticized the Celestial Dragons, the World Government, and the Navy with righteous words.
"Shut up! How can a vicious criminal like you have the nerve to say such things?" Zhan Guo was so shocked by Luo Heng's words that his heart was trembling. He hurriedly stopped him from continuing with a panicked expression.
How could someone in his position not know that every word Luo Heng said was true?
But this is being broadcast live now! If words like this were to spread, the whole world would be in turmoil.
"To all the sailors present, ask yourselves, have your past actions truly been just?"
"Are you sure that you have not been deceived by your superiors' words and committed all kinds of evil things that even you cannot approve of?" Luo Heng continued to speak regardless, but this time his target was the naval soldiers on the battlefield.
When many of the navy officers present heard Luo Heng's words, sweat broke out on their foreheads and they slowly pounded down the swords and guns in their hands.
"All of this is due to the cancer of the Celestial Dragons. Only by eliminating them can the world return to normal order!"
Luo Heng used all his strength to shout this last time, causing everyone's head to buzz.
"Shut him up, don't let him continue talking!" Zhan Guo became very anxious when he saw the reaction of the navy, and quickly ordered his subordinates to attack Luo Heng.
