Chương 1476: On top of the war (88)

The fierce fighting on other battlefields also never stopped for a moment.

Rayleigh protected Luffy tightly and slowly retreated step by step.

"Uncle, put me down! I must go save Ace, let me go!"

Luffy struggled desperately in Rayleigh's broad and powerful palms, his voice filled with tears and determination.

"Listen, Luffy! With your current strength, this battle is far beyond your ability to intervene. Come with me and leave this dangerous place!"

Rayleigh held Luffy's arms tightly and shouted loudly.

However, Luffy showed no appreciation and continued to struggle to break free from his restraints.

"No! He's my brother. How can I leave him and run away alone? Absolutely not!"

Luffy yelled at the top of his lungs, his face becoming extremely ferocious with anger and anxiety.

Faced with such a stubborn Luffy, Rayleigh was helpless for a moment.

Rayleigh sighed helplessly and turned to look in the direction of Ace.

At this moment, Ace seemed to have a telepathic connection and also cast his gaze over here.

To be exact, his gaze was fixed directly on Luffy, his eyes full of concern and worry.

Rayleigh stared at Ace's familiar face, and the floodgates of his memory were instantly opened, with scenes from the past flooding into his mind like a tide.

Unconsciously, he recalled the beautiful woman he met by chance in the South China Sea more than 30 years ago.

Her every smile, gesture and movement were like a movie playing before my eyes.

"It's so similar..."

Rayleigh couldn't help but whisper, his eyes always lingering on the light freckles on Ace's cheeks.

Time flies, but some things are forever engraved deep in our hearts.

"let me go!"

Luffy's eyes were wide open with anger, and he struggled with all his strength, and took advantage of the moment when Rayleigh's mind was slightly relaxed to successfully break free from the restraints.

He rushed towards the execution platform without hesitation like an arrow.

"Ace!"

Luffy ran wildly and shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice echoing throughout the battlefield, filled with deep worry and concern for his brother.

At this time, Ace, who was standing on the execution platform, looked at his brother who was rushing towards him recklessly for who knows how many times, and he couldn't help feeling endless guilt in his heart.

At this critical moment, all members of the Whitebeard Pirates seized the opportunity and launched a fierce attack like a surging tide.

They took advantage of the gap when the navy's high-end combat power was tied up by other forces, and rushed to the navy's formation in one breath with unstoppable force, and quickly launched a fierce fight and struggle with the navy.

"Damn it! They let so many pirates into the square. The old man must be really angry this time!"

Zhan Taomaru clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and glared at the pirates who continued to pour into the square, his face full of anger.

"This is a chaotic and fierce battle. Everyone, be careful. Even if you accidentally hurt your brothers, it is helpless. So try to avoid gathering together to avoid unnecessary accidental injuries! Pacifists, listen up!"

Zhan Taomaru turned around and gave orders to the group of tall and mighty pacifists behind him.

As soon as the words fell, dazzling yellow laser beams instantly shot out from the pacifists' mouths, roaring towards them with the power to destroy the world.

In an instant, loud rumbling noises came one after another, deafening.

The blazing flames shot up into the sky, instantly engulfing the Whitebeard Pirates who were in the middle of a fierce battle with the navy, as if turning everything into ashes.

The same artillery attack also mercilessly overwhelmed the navy's own people.

In an instant, the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates suffered heavy blows at the same time.

The entire square seemed to be shrouded in a sudden sandstorm. Smoke and dust rolled up into the sky, covering the sky and the sun, making the vision of both sides instantly blurred.

"good chance!"

The sharp-eyed Marco keenly caught the smoke and dust rising around him. He had an idea and reacted decisively.

He was as fast as lightning, rushing into the dense smoke without hesitation, and running towards the execution platform at the speed of the wind.

"Wait for me, Ace!"

Marco galloped.

Before he finished speaking, he was already approaching the execution platform.

In a flash, he leaped up suddenly, and his arms instantly turned into a pair of huge wings, shining with blue flames, and his whole body turned into a phoenix reborn from the fire.

He flapped his gorgeous wings vigorously, creating a gust of wind, and rushed towards the execution platform with the force of thunder.

This astonishing scene immediately attracted everyone's attention, especially the high-ranking Admiral Sengoku.

His face suddenly changed and he shouted angrily: "Shoot him down!"

Following his order, the well-trained navy responded quickly, turning their guns and aiming at Marco in the air, and dense shells poured into the sky like raindrops.

However, these seemingly fierce shells were like scratching an itch for Marco, who had transformed into a phoenix, and could not cause any substantial damage to him.

Relying on his powerful abilities and agility, Marco easily avoided wave after wave of artillery fire and continued to rush forward towards the execution platform.

At this time, Akainu and Aokiji, who were standing under the execution platform, also noticed Marco's approach. They looked over at the same time with looks of astonishment on their faces.

On the other hand, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates were ecstatic and their excitement was beyond words when they saw Marco being so brave and fearless.

Marco was getting closer and closer to the execution platform.

Karp closed his eyes tightly, his brows were furrowed, and his facial muscles were twitching slightly, as if he was going through a fierce struggle and decision in his heart.

Just as Marco rushed to the execution platform as fast as lightning and was only inches away from the platform that decided life and death, Karp suddenly opened his eyes as sharp as an eagle, with determination and decisiveness flashing in his eyes.

Garp suddenly jumped out like a gust of wind and stood in front of Marco at an astonishing speed.

His right hand was clenched into a fist, veins bulging on his arm, revealing endless power.

With a dull thud—"Boom!"

Garp's powerful punch hit Marco's head hard.

In an instant, Marco was like being hit by a cannonball, his body flew backwards rapidly and fell straight towards the Naval Square below.

Accompanied by a deafening roar, "BOOM!"

Marco slammed heavily into the hard ground of the square, splashing gravel and dust all over the sky.

The entire square shook as if a small earthquake had occurred.

Marco was lying in a deep pit, looking extremely miserable.

He struggled to get up from the ground and stood up shakily.
