Chương 1446: On top of the war (58)

I saw his body suddenly flip in the air and streak across the sky like a flash of lightning.

Then he landed steadily on one knee, pressing one hand hard on the hard ground, as if he wanted to press the earth down.

He slowly raised his head, his face full of astonishment, and his eyes were fixed on Joz not far away.

He muttered to himself, "It's incredible that such a huge body can move so fast! I have to admit defeat to the captain of the third squad, Diamond Man Joz!"

Before he finished speaking, Crocodile had already landed lightly in front of Doflamingo.

However, his body paused slightly, and his originally resolute face was now slightly distorted by pain.

When Qiao Zi heard this, he remained expressionless and unmoved.

But at this moment, the diamonds on his body seemed to be given life, spreading rapidly, and completely covered his entire body in the blink of an eye.

Obviously, he had already made up his mind to kill and was ready to give a fatal blow to the enemy who dared to challenge his majesty.

In the blink of an eye, just as Jozu was about to make a move, Doflamingo, who had been standing behind Crocodile, suddenly made a move.

He just casually stretched out a finger and flicked it lightly.

In an instant, several transparent silk threads shot towards Joz like arrows from a bow with fierce momentum.

These threads are moving at such a fast speed that it is almost impossible for people to react.

There was only a slight "puff" sound, and Joz's indestructible body suddenly froze in place without any warning, unable to move.

And the next second, a ghostly figure quietly appeared behind Joz.

Upon closer inspection, he saw that this person was none other than Doflamingo who had just taken action.

At this moment, Doflamingo had a faint smile on his face, and he stepped heavily on Joz's broad back with one foot without mercy.

However, his gaze did not rest on Joz at his feet, but looked past him and directly at Crocodile not far away.

"Crocodile, look at your miserable state now, it's really shocking!"

While Doflamingo was laughing at Crocodile, he glanced around with the corner of his eye, as if he was on guard against anyone else who might take the opportunity to attack him.

"Doflamingo, stop meddling in other people's business here! Are you tired of living?"

Crocodile stared at Doflamingo expressionlessly, his tone so cold that it seemed to condense the air.

Doflamingo raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sly smile: "Haha, Crocodile, what you said is really unpleasant to hear! How about joining forces with me? You know, with your position in the Buggy Pirates, if you add my help, our business will definitely be able to expand to the whole world!"

As he spoke, his sharp eyes were fixed on Crocodile, revealing his covetousness for the Buggy Pirates' global express delivery business.

It turns out that Doflamingo had long been interested in the powerful transportation capabilities of the Buggy Pirates. If he could cooperate with them and combine the munitions in his hands with them, it would undoubtedly bring unprecedented expansion opportunities to his underground territory.

That's why he set his sights on Crocodile.

After all, from Crocodile's eyes, Doflamingo clearly captured the deeply hidden ambition.

Just then, a sudden noise came from the other side of the battlefield.

Luffy was seen running like a wild horse, swinging his arms vigorously, knocking away the marines who tried to block his way.

In the blink of an eye, Luffy had rushed to the center of the square, one step closer to the execution platform that symbolized death and the end.

However, what is surprising is that Kizaru, who was in charge of guarding this place this time, did not take any action to stop Luffy.

To be more precise, Kizaru seemed to have evaporated into thin air and completely disappeared without a trace.

At the moment, Luffy had no time to care about these things. He had only one thought in his mind - to save his brother Ace who was in desperate situation.

So, he ran as hard as he could, looking up at the execution platform, and shouted loudly: "Ace!"

However, at this moment, several cold lights flashed, and the sharp knife light suddenly lit up, cutting through the surrounding air and making a terrifying whistling sound.

Luffy's heart suddenly shook, and an ominous premonition came over him.

He opened his eyes wide, trying to see the scene ahead clearly through the thick smoke.

As the smoke gradually dissipated, a figure gradually became clear. Luffy's pupils contracted instantly, and an expression of astonishment and despair appeared on his face.

Because the person who appeared before him was actually the powerful swordsman who made countless pirates tremble in fear - Hawkeye Mihawk!

Hawkeye Mihawk just stood there quietly, emitting unparalleled pressure.

He held a long black sword in his hand, the blade flashing with a cold light, as if it could easily cut through anything in the world.

Although he was filled with worry about Ace's safety, this emotion was like a surging torrent that quickly drowned out the despair that had just arisen.

Luffy gritted his teeth, looked firmly at the execution platform not far away, and without hesitation took another step forward, continuing to run wildly.

Mihawk stared at Luffy indifferently, without any emotion in his eyes.

Suddenly, he said, "I will not show mercy!"

Then, Mihawk murmured softly to himself, "Let's leave it to fate. Will the little boy who is regarded as the hope of the new era die or will he be killed by my black sword at this moment?"

After saying that, he crossed his hands and placed the huge black knife firmly in front of his chest, like an insurmountable mountain, blocking Luffy's way forward.

"Now is not the time to fight that powerful guy. I'm here to save Ace!"

Luffy yelled.

Before he finished speaking, he flashed like an arrow, leaped up and jumped directly in front of Mihawk.

Then, a powerful aura burst out from Luffy, and his body instantly changed and entered Gear 2 mode.

Luffy's muscles bulged all over his body, his skin turned red, his blood vessels were clearly visible, and he exuded amazing power.

He passed by Mihawk at an extremely fast speed, creating a gust of wind.

Mihawk still stood there expressionlessly, but he just turned his wrist slightly and swung the black knife in the direction Luffy was running.

In an instant, a green blade energy broke through the air, rushing away like lightning, chasing straight towards Luffy.
