  Pirates, Marines, and everyone else otlefield stared in shock. A rookie pirate was casually talking to Whitebeard, the world's stro man, as if they were old friends. Luffy stood his ground, his expression dead serious.

  “While we were on the Marine ship, they said something about exeg Ace ahead of time,” Luffy said, scratg the back of his head.

  Whitebeard’s eyes narrowed slightly as he g Luffy. “You heard them say they’ll move up the execution schedule?”

  Luffy nodded. “Yeah, but I’m not great with codes. Didn’t make much seo me.”

  At that moment, Coby dropped down beside Luffy, nding smoothly with a grin on his face. “Well, if it isn’t the world’s stro man just having a chat with my captain.” He chuckled, gng around. “I doubt that’s true, e-san. Sengoku’s probably spreading fake info to lure the pirates into that crest-shaped opening. If I had to guess, they’ll trap everyone by pulling you in first with this early execution story, then bring in more forces from behind.”

  Whitebeard turned his sharp gaze on Coby, a faint smirk tugging at the er of his mouth. “Yeah, I figured as much. Sengoku’s a sly one.”

  Luffy, as casual as ever, nodded along. “Since we’re all trying to save Ace, I thought I would share.”

  Whitebeard gave Luffy a nod of approval. “That’s valuable information. Thank you.”

  “Yeah, don’t sweat it,” Luffy responded, pletely unfazed, as if he were talking to a the Emperor of the Sea.

  The onlookers were dumbfounded. Marines, pirates, and even anders from both sides stared in disbelief at the casual way Luffy was iing with Whitebeard. It was unheard of—just more of Luffy's weird way of doing things. But Luffy’s fidence had always been the same, no matter who he was talking to.

  Luffy jumped down from Moby Dick, his feet smming onto the ice below. He wasted no time, charging straight into the battlefield, weaving through Marines with his usual reckless energy. Meanwhile, Coby o Whitebeard, then used Geppo to shoot up into the air, floating above Luffy to keep an eye on him. He knew Luffy would throw himself into danger without thinking twice.

  The first to appear was Kizaru, his zy expression not fooling anyone as he lifted his leg a a beam of light straight toward Luffy. “If we don’t catch you, we ot raise our face to the Celestial Dragons,” Kizaru remarked casually, his voice carrying over the chaos.

  Coby reacted in an instant. Using Bara Bara Detached Hands, he detached his hands and caught Luffy midair, lifting him just before the beam could strike. He threw Luffy further ahead, avoiding the attack altogether. Kizaru raised an eyebrow, momentarily surprised but shrugged it off, his attention already drifting elsewhere.

  Luffy kept on moving, dodging Marines left and right. Hina appeared, her bck iron bars aiming to trap him, but Luffy slipped past her with ease. "Gomu Gomu Gatling!" Luffy’s fists blurred as they smashed into the surrounding Marines, sending them flying as he cleared a path toward the execution ptform.

  Coby dodged Kizaru, who was eager to follow up with atack, but the surrounding pirates got in the way, momentarily distrag the Admiral. Seizing the ce, Coby dove bato the fray, fog on colleg as much SP as he could. He struarines, sing them for abilities, his movements swift and effit.

  The battlefield was a chaotic mess, with pirates and Marines g in every dire. Coby was having the time of his life, cutting through waves of Marines with ease, his fists, feet, sword and trident striking with deadly accuracy. Every Mariook down added to his growing pool of SP. His eyes stantly darted around, sing for stronger foes to copy from.

  Luffy, meanwhile, was still charging forward, dug and dodgiween waves of Marines, barely slowing down. The path to Ace was long, and it seemed like every high-ranking Marine was determio stop him.

  Ace's worried eyes were glued to Luffy, following his every movement. Every time Luffy dodged a deadly attack or took a hit, Ace’s heart leapt into his throat. He couldn’t stand it any longer. From across the battlefield, Ace's voied, full of anger and desperation.

  "Stop, Luffy! Stay back!" Ace shouted. "I shouldn't have to tell you this! You're a pirate just like me. We both sailed the seas as our hearts guided us. I have my own adveo live, my own crew. I never asked you to interfere! Do you really think I’ll five you for this? A weakling like you ing to save me? This is humiliating! Get out of here, Luffy! Why did you even e here?!"

  Luffy, uerred by his brother’s outburst, yelled back just as loudly, his voice ringing clear through the chaos of the battlefield. "Like I care! You’re my brother!"

  That decration reverberated across the battlefield, freezing everyone iracks—Marines, pirates, everyone. Luffy’s voice cut through the fusion like a bde. "I don’t give a shit about pirate rules!"

  The etlefield was momentarily stuhe sheer audacity of Luffy’s statement catg everyone off guard. Just before Coby, Luffy, and the others had arrived, Sengoku had revealed Ace's true lihat he was the son of the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger. The Marines and pirates alike were thrown into a whirlwind of specution. Now they questioned: Was Luffy Roger’s son too? Did Roger have two sons?

  Sengoku, notig the fused murmurs spreading like wildfire across the battlefield, wasted no time clearing up the situation. His voied with authority as he announced, "Monkey D. Luffy and Pas D. Ace grew up together as brothers! Straw Hat Luffy is ner’s son—he is the son of the criminal, Revolutionary Dragon!"

  The battlefield was stunned into silehe revetion hit like a on bst. Luffy, the son on, the most wanted criminal in the world? Even Mihawk, normally posed and unshaken, showed a flicker of surprise. The man known as the world’s most dangerous revolutionary, the one who openly defied the Wover, had a son standing right in front of them.

  Murmurs spread quickly through the Marines and pirates alike, the shock palpable in the air. "Revolutionary Dragon’s son?" one Maritered, eyes wide as he processed the news. "No wonder he's so dangerous."

  Mihawk, standing amidst the chaos, narrowed his eyes. "Iing," he muttered under his breath, tightening his grip on Yoru.

  Dofmingo, of course, was enjoying every sed of it. His twisted grin grew wider as he looked toward Luffy. “This is getting more fun by the sed. What a crazy family... First Fire Fist, the Pirate King’s son, and now this?”

  While the shock tio ripple across the battlefield, Luffy remained unfazed. He didn’t care about his father’s reputation. He had only one goal: to save Ace.

  Luffy’s decration hung in the air, and Garp’s fist ched. He stared down at his grandson with a flicted expression. Sengoku g Garp, but before anything could be said, Luffy was already on the move again.

  Puffing his arm up to giant proportions, Luffy let out a roar and brought it crashing down onto a t Marih a Gomu Gomu no Gigant Rifle. The giant’s body crumpled uhe force, sending him sprawling across the battlefield. The attack echoed Sengoku’s earlier words—Monkey D. Luffy wasn’t just some rookie anymore; he was a force to be reed with. But, in typical Luffy fashion, the dramatic impact was cut short when he shrank down into his chibi form, courtesy of Gear Third.

  Smoker wasn’t about to let Luffy pass so easily. Appearing out of the chaos, the Marine captain charged forward, his Jitte aimed straight at the rubber pirate. "Straw Hat!" Smoker barked, swinging his on toward Luffy, ready to capture him.

  Before the Jitte could strike, Coby appeared between them, his own Jitte g with Smoker’s. The impact sent a shockwave through the air, stopping Smoker’s attack cold. "Let him go, Smokey," Coby grinned, sending Smoker flying back with a quick strike of the same on he had stolen from Smoker ba Loguetown. "His charge is unstoppable now."

  Smrowled in frustration as he caught himself mid-air, eyes narrowing at Coby. "Copy Ninja!" he spat, his tohick with disdain. But Coby wasn’t about to let Smoker interfere. Without missing a beat, Coby darted back to Luffy’s side, keeping a for any other threats. Smoker, clearly frustrated, turned his attention back to the battlefield, knowing that Coby wouldn’t be easy to take down.
