Luffy's arrival immediately attracted both pirates' and Marines' attention.
Not only because of his flashy entrance but also because of what he did and his identity.
Kizaru, who had met Luffy in the Sabaody Archipelago smirked and said: "I didn't expect to see you so soon."
"Two Seven Warlords of the Sea, and the problematic super rookie, Straw Hat." Doflamingo smirked.
At the same time, Akainu, who had just finished his plan, also saw Luffy. Akainu said with sharp eyes,
"That guy is the grandson of the hero Garp, and the son of the Revolutionary Army leader, Dragon. We must kill him!"
Akainu had a feeling that Luffy would become a big threat to the Marines in the future if he didn't get rid of him now.
Considering Garp and Dragon's track records, wouldn't Luffy be bad news?
Many people on Whitebeard Pirates also recognized Luffy because Ace often showed them Luffy's wanted poster and said proudly: "This is my brother Luffy."
While everyone was still perplexed by Luffy's appearance, Crocodile, who was standing behind Luffy, was looking around as if he was looking for something.
He eventually found a tall figure holding a large Bisento, standing on the ice, and there was no Marine within five hundred meters around him - Whitebeard.
Seeing the figure he was looking for, Crocodile did not hesitate. He directly raised his golden hook and flew toward Whitebeard.
He wanted to challenge Whitebeard again here.
Sensing that a figure with a strong aura was coming towards him, Nagasawa looked over and saw Crocodile with a cigar in his mouth.
"Whitebeard, long time no see." Crocodile raised his golden hook and said with a smile when he was about to reach Nagasawa.
Nagasawa was a little speechless. Was Crocodile truly courageous, or was he just overconfident?
"You seem to have a bad memory." Nagasawa didn't move because he sensed that someone had already made a move. It was Luffy!
Luffy, whose whole body was drenched with water, directly kicked Crocodile's golden hook before it could reach Whitebeard.
Crocodile frowned as he noticed Luffy was covered in water. He immediately created distance between them and avoided Luffy's kick.
"Why do you want to protect Whitebeard?" Crocodile frowned as he looked at Luffy.
Nagasawa smiled but did not say anything.
"Of course, because he is Whitebeard. Ace likes this man very much!" Luffy stated his reason.
Ace once said to him, "Whitebeard is the best pirate in the world. I want to make him the Pirate King."
If Ace went as far as saying such words, Luffy believed that Ace really liked Whitebeard.
At this time, some Whitebeard Pirates' crews also rushed toward them and asked Crocodile: "Crocodile, what are you trying to pull off here?"
Crocodile finally gave up challenging Whitebeard at this time and temporarily retreated.
"You must be Ace's younger brother, Luffy." Nagasawa said as he looked at Luffy.
"That's right! Ace is my brother!" Luffy said proudly.
"This place is very dangerous. Someone like you is ten years too early to join this war. But you're at least brave enough to save Ace." Nagasawa said as he stared at Luffy.
The people in the vicinity were surprised. There were not that many pirates that Whitebeard acknowledged, and Luffy was a rookie.
"Why do I need any reason to save my brother?" Luffy shouted.
"Such courage... As expected of the son of that man." Ivankov was stunned as he looked at Luffy, who went against Whitebeard's advice.
Whitebeard was one of the Four Emperors of the New World, the legendary pirate, and the strongest man in the world. His name alone was enough to scare off people
Ivankov himself couldn't show such an attitude in front of Whitebeard, but Luffy sure was something else, and he was not done yet. Luffy looked up at Whitebeard and shouted: "I know, you want to be the Pirate King, right? But the one who'll become the Pirate King will be me!"
When these words echoed, the entire battlefield was shocked. The pirates were shocked by Luffy's audacity.
This rookie was actually crazy enough to say such outrageous words in front of the Emperor of the New World.
"Gu ra ra ra ra!" To everyone's surprise, Whitebeard laughed.
Nagasawa placed his hand on Luffy's shoulder and left Flying Thunder God mark on Luffy. He laughed, "What a cheeky little brat. Just don't die!"
Then Luffy mentioned what he heard from the Den Den Mushi on the warship.
"They are going to execute Ace ahead of schedule. They mentioned something about preparation, but they seemed to be using some sort of secret words that I don't understand."
"I know, it is very important information." Nagasawa nodded.
Just like in the manga, the Marines would use some underhanded tricks.
"I told you this because we both want to save Ace." Luffy said to Whitebeard as if they were equal.
"Very good, we will definitely be able to save Ace." Nagasawa nodded slightly, thinking that it was time to go all out, and he'd at least be able to take down one Admiral.
Both Akainu and Aokiji would get in the way of his Water Release, so he'd prioritize them.
"Ace, I'm here to save you!" After telling Nagasawa about the information, Luffy ran straight to the execution platform.
At this time, Marco also flew over and said that someone had heard about how the Marine planned to execute Ace ahead of schedule.
"Should I assist the others outside so that they can join us as soon as possible? Otherwise, it might be too late." Marco said.
Nagasawa shook his head while looking at Sengoku and said,
"That guy wouldn't let such an important news leak out so easily. This is a trap. Inform everyone outside not to rush in. Just have them attack the warships outside."
Marco nodded and took out the Den Den Mushi to inform the Captains of the Subordinate Pirates.
Nagasawa then took Murakumogiri and slowly walked toward the square. He asked the Division Captains to cover Little Oars Jr. and Luffy without minding him.
Soon, a golden light flashed, and a sword of light was aimed at Nagasawa.
Nagasawa enveloped Murakumogiri's blade with a quake bubble and broke Kizaru's Heavenly Cloud Sword with just one attack, and forced Kizaru back a dozen meters.
"Li'l Kizaru, you're a hundred years too early if you want to compete with me using a sword!"
"Oooh, so scary." Kizaru's expression remained unchanged. He still had a smirk on his face, and he did not immediately retreat as usual this time.
Soon, Nagasawa knew the reason. A huge ice bird suddenly rushed toward him from the right side. The ice bird was so powerful that it froze all the pirates in its path.
From the left, a giant magma was hurled toward him.
Kizaru, in the middle, also pointed his finger with a smirk, firing a laser beam toward Nagasawa.
The three Admirals actually ganged up on Nagasawa.
The Division Captains saw this and shouted worriedly, "Pops!"
They wanted to help Nagasawa so badly that they completely ignored their opponents.
"Don't! I can handle three little brats just fine." Nagasawa stopped the Division Captains who wanted to help him.
If the Division Captains assisted him, they would miss the best time to attack.
At this time, most of the Vice Admirals were fighting the forty-three Subordinate Pirates outside the bay, and the three Admirals were busy with Nagasawa.
Sengoku couldn't go down to defend the square as he had to command all the Marines and kept an eye on the execution platform.
It was even less likely for Garp to step in. If no one got anywhere near the execution platform, he basically didn't care.
The strongest force in the square at the moment was the Seven Warlords of the Sea, but Boa Hancock sided with Luffy, and the rest of them wouldn't go all out, so the square was at its weakest now.
Even with the three Admirals' attacks aimed at him, Nagasawa didn't dodge. Instead, he raised Murakumogiri sideways. He immediately used Sun Breathing and focused all his strength and Chakra on Murakumogiri.
A faint golden flame covered Murakumogiri's blade, and his momentum rose sharply.
"Sun Breathing Fourteenth Form: Pilgrimage of the Scorching Sun!"
Hyaaa!
A ten-meter-long scorching slash wave was released from Murakumogiri.
Unlike Nagasawa's first slash wave, this one was smaller.
However, the three Admirals didn't dare to underestimate this attack because the edge of the scorching slash wave was burning with a light golden flame.
The three Admirals had seen how terrifying this light golden flame was. It could easily dissipate Hawkeye's slash wave, and Aokiji's cold air couldn't completely stop it.
Even Akainu wouldn't risk taking this attack head-on if he was alone.
He knew that he'd be severely injured even if he transformed into magma.
Logia user was not truly invincible. In addition to Color of Arms Haki, some element attacks could also cause damage to Logia users.
Boom!!!!!
Nagasawa's attack collided with the attacks of the three Admirals, causing a loud noise.
The giant ice bird created by Aokiji melted the moment it touched the scorching slash wave.
When the huge magma came into contact with the fire, it was directly cut open and fell on the ice.
It only took Kizaru's laser a few seconds after hitting the scorching slash wave before it dissipated.
"How is this possible? Their attack is inferior to Whitebeard's!" Some of the Marines looked in disbelief.
The pirates began to cheer. They believed victory was already in sight as their Pops actually overpowered three Admirals by himself.
At this time, a man holding a sword bigger than his body and a regular size sword at his waist entered the bay.
He was Squard, the Captain of Maelstrom Spider Pirates that served under Whitebeard Pirates.
He had learned a certain secret that made him furious, so he disobeyed Whitebeard's order and entered the bay.
