Ace was stunned for a moment when he saw the tearful Garp, and the next moment he felt even more painful.
This was the first time he saw this bold and hearty old man crying.
It turns out that in addition to his father and brothers in the Whitebeard Pirates, he also ignored his grandfather who had always taken care of him.
"Grandpa..."
Ace gritted his teeth and didn't know what to say. He put his head on the ground and knelt in front of Garp.
"I was born a devil. I really shouldn't have come to this world. I'm sorry to everyone..."
He cried bitterly again. Everyone who cared about him had a bad ending and he was the one who brought disaster to them.
He is indeed an unlucky star!
While the grandfather and grandson were crying and confiding in pain, the entire Marineford shook violently again, countless houses collapsed, and even the ground was broken into pieces.
Whitebeard, who was surrounded by two Marine Admirals, had completely lost his temper and was launching a fierce attack with abandon.
Akainu opened a lava hole in Whitebeard's chest, but he was also hit head-on by Whitebeard, and his body was torn apart by the space-shattering force.
If he hadn't been the Logia user, then he would have died instantly under this move, and he would have died without a doubt.
Akainu was seriously injured and was thrown to the ground, disappearing into the cracks in the earth.
Aokiji was also hammered into ice shavings by the shock wave and was blasted out, but he also managed to leave a bloody hole in Whitebeard's shoulder with his ice blade.
Without Impel Down's prisoners to contain the Marines and cover Straw Hat Luffy, he now has no ability to get close to the execution platform.
Even if he was close to the execution platform, without the path created by the Snip Fruit ability, and without the key of the Wax Fruit, the possibility of him rescuing Ace was almost zero.
Seeing Whitebeard unleash his power, causing two Marine Admirals to be seriously injured and disappear, the morale of the Whitebeard Pirates increased greatly.
"Marco, go save Ace! I'll deal with the Flash Imp!"
A stream of blood spilled from Whitebeard's mouth and he shouted to his son. Now he knew how bad his situation was.
They must rescue Ace as soon as possible and lead everyone out of Marineford.
Only Marco, who has the ability to fly, can approach the execution platform from the air.
"Yes, Pops!"
Marco looked at Whitebeard's severe injuries and was already trembling in his heart. As the ship's doctor of the Whitebeard Pirates, how could he not know his current dire situation.
But now is not the time to dilly-dally and he must be resolute.
He flew towards the execution platform at high speed, and just as Kizaru was about to chase him, the space around him began to break, which scared him and he quickly turned into photons and left.
Logia's ability is only immune to physical damage. These spatial powers don't only deal physical damage. Once hit, it will be very uncomfortable.
Whitebeard looked at Marco flying towards the execution platform and felt nervous.
'Garp, if you really recognize Ace as your grandson, then don't stop Marco!'
Now Whitebeard can only place his hope on Garp's feelings. Ace once told him about his awkward grandfather-grandson relationship with Garp.
In the past, Whitebeard was unhappy that Garp had taken advantage of his seniority, making him and Roger a generation below Garp for no reason.
But now he really hopes that Garp can let go a little and let Marco rescue Ace.
But the next moment, Whitebeard was a little desperate. He clenched the handle of Murakumogiri tightly in his hand, and his fingers turned pale.
Marco, who was transformed into a cyan phoenix was hit hard by Garp's ruthless punch and fell to the ground, raising countless amounts of dust.
The last bit of hope to save Ace has been dashed.
As for the straw hat brat, there was even less hope for him to rescue Ace. He didn't even have a chance to get close to the execution platform.
Perhaps seeing the lack of successors to the Whitebeard Pirates, and empathizing with Straw Hat Luffy's obsession, Scopper Gaban, who couldn't bear to see Roger's descendants die, finally broke out with all his heart.
"Rayleigh, you old bastard still has a wife, but I have nothing, so leave it to me and Luffy. Then I'll leave these two guys to you!"
Gaban grinned at Rayleigh, and then the aura on his body began to explode wildly.
"I learned a kind of boxing technique from North Blue that can store young strength."
"By the way, I forgot to tell you, I once learned a body training method from that boy Bullet. And Roger also learned a life-burning martial art."
"Then let you see my young strength again, old Rayleigh."
Then he roared fiercely in front of Rayleigh, Momousagi, and Tokikake. Circles of air appeared under him, and strong winds blew around him.
The degenerated muscles on his old body began to expand rapidly, his body size continued to increase, and his height doubled.
He changed from a thin old man to a muscular man, but the bald hair on his head still did not grow back.
The thick Armament Haki was released directly, covering dozens of meters in radius.
The hard ground was crushed and cracked by the thick Armament Haki.
This is a massive amount of Armament Haki, a kind of power comparable to Conqueror's Haki.
This is not the normal Armament Haki's emission technique, but the real Haki emission technique, which uses quantity to overwhelm technique.
In the face of absolute strength, no skills are needed at all, just keep crushing them.
"Luffy, let's go, I'll take you to save your brother!"
He smiled boldly and rushed towards the execution platform in an instant. Everywhere he went, all Marines were crushed and corpses flew everywhere.
Luffy also saw the hope of rescuing Ace, and excitedly followed Gaban's tracks, quickly heading towards the execution platform.
The outbreak of Scopper Gaban gave Whitebeard another glimmer of hope.
"All members of the Whitebeard Pirates obey the order and use all their strength to protect Gaban and Straw Hat Luffy!"
Then he raised his weapon high and shouted with all his strength, and he quickly rushed towards Kizaru. This time he must take advantage of the opportunity when Akainu and Aokiji were temporarily down to rescue Ace.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his own life.
Even Scopper Gaban can fight tooth and nail for Ace, so what reason does his father have for not trying his best for his son?.
Seeing the excited Whitebeard and the high-morale Whitebeard Pirates, Kizaru became decisive and started dodging left and right, determined to survive until the two guys Akainu and Aokiji returned to help.
Seeing Gaban in his heyday coming towards him, Garp also rushed toward him with excitement. Although it's not known whether it was to compete with Gaban or to deliberately make way for Luffy.
Garp was on the execution platform, charging up his right fist and jumping down with all his strength. Gaban also waved his axes, and a bloody Haki dragon appeared and struck with all his strength.
'Galaxy Impact!!!'
'Dragon strikes the galaxy!!!'
