Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

He originally intended to use this gap before entering the new world to train hard, improve his strength, and then find a suitable opportunity to break into Impel Down and rescue Ace.

It now seems that everything must be brought forward.

Grandma New asked in a deep voice, "What do you intend to do?"

Luffy raised his head, a nearly unrestrained smile curving his lips: "Just like Whitebeard, I had no choice either."

He certainly knew there was another option.

Waiting for the Whitebeard Pirates to engage in battle with the Marine Headquarters, then taking advantage of the chaos to rescue people.

However, Luffy would never entrust Ace's life to someone else.

Even from Granny Newt and Ace, I heard that Whitebeard had a good reputation.

Luffy looked at Perona, who was floating to the side.

She was stunned by this sudden and bombshell news.

Should we go and attack Impel Down?

"No, don't even think about leaving me!"

Perona suddenly exclaimed, "I... I'm a member of the Straw Hat Pirates now!"

The name Impel Down has a huge deterrent effect on any pirate, but she still clenched her little fists and chose to stand with Luffy.

Some people possess a personal charm that can win the hearts of those they have only known for a short time.

"Calm down."

Granny New said, "Even for you, the chances of forcing your way into Impel Down from the outside are slim."

The most difficult thing right now is time.

It usually takes pirate ships about a week to reach Impel Down.

The execution date announced in the newspapers was six days later.

Luffy immediately grasped the key point: "Then why is the Navy starting to summon Hancock now?"

Granny New explained, "Naval warships have special routes that allow them to use specific ocean currents through the Gates of Justice to form a rapid transportation network from Marineford, the Navy Headquarters, to Enies Lobby, and then to Impel Down, taking only about four days to reach the destination."

Grandma New had a deeper understanding of the navy.

Luffy is very strong, even stronger than Boa Hancock.

They are strong enough to escape from the hands of an admiral, but the World Government, the most powerful violent machine, is not only composed of a Marine admiral.

To put it bluntly, even a pirate of Luffy's strength couldn't control the situation on that battlefield. He would be like an ant in a storm, easily bounced out... or most likely, swallowed up instantly.

The Navy Headquarters mobilized its entire force this time.

The forces at large, including all the admirals, elite vice admirals, and the seven warlords of the sea who have been recruited, are already terrifyingly powerful.

The Navy also has many special departments operating in secret. As the World Government's violent machinery, will the World Government provide them with some degree of support?

This is a gathering of forces powerful enough to overturn an era.

She couldn't help but recall the Rocks Pirates, which were even more powerful than the Whitebeard Pirates, many years ago, as various forces appeared one after another.

The story, involving the Navy, pirates, the World Government, and the Celestial Dragons, concludes with the appearance of a Navy hero.

Will the Navy be the victor this time?

Perona, who had been listening for so long, couldn't help but interject, "The most important thing right now is how to get to Impel Down before the execution, isn't it?"

There's simply not enough time!

Even if they try to steal a Navy warship as Luffy suggested, they're helpless if the person in control of the Gates of Justice doesn't open them.

Granny New stared at Luffy, her eyes filled with struggle, as if she were weighing something.

She wasn't sure if the suggestion she was about to make was right.

In a way, Luffy helped Boa Hancock resolve her inner conflict, which can be considered a favor to Amazon Lily.

Her suggestion was tantamount to suicide for Luffy.

"Are you really determined to save Ace no matter what?" Granny New asked.

"Of course!" Luffy answered without hesitation.

Grandma New took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind.

Such a firm belief cannot be shaken. Since Luffy wants to go to Impel Down, it's just as well. Boa Hancock also needs to answer the call to retain her title of Shichibukai and prevent Amazon Lily from falling into crisis.

Each party benefits.

Grandma New, with a try-it-and-see attitude, said, "If you can persuade Boa Hancock to answer the World Government's call, perhaps you can take the opportunity to sneak onto the naval warship heading to Impel Down."

However, once you board the warship, how to infiltrate Impel Down, and how to rescue people within those impenetrable walls—everything after that depends on you. It's a path fraught with peril.

Forgot about this road; experience counts!

What we need most now is time, and secondly, how to enter the gates of justice.

This leads to another problem.

Luffy looked at his hand and felt a slight toothache.

That last move made Hancock gag.

There must be a reason why Hancock would rather give up the title of Shichibukai than answer the World Government's call.

Getting a ship at all is already a blessing; asking Hancock for help at this point would be asking too much.

"Did I go too far with Hancock before?"

Luffy asked Perona in a low voice.

Perona: "..."

Anyway, she can't take a punch.

Just then, a series of panicked footsteps sounded.

"Grandma New, something bad has happened!"

Hancock's butler, Goldfinch, came running up breathlessly, her face full of anxiety: "Lady Snake Princess seems to be ill, and it looks very serious!"

I got sick?

At such a critical moment?

Granny Newe and Luffy were both taken aback, and then exclaimed in surprise.

Even the Seven Warlords of the Sea, whose physical abilities far surpass those of ordinary people, can get sick?

When everyone arrived at Hancock's bedchamber, they saw the usually proud woman lying weakly on the magnificent bed, her cheeks flushed an unnatural red, her breathing rapid, and her forehead covered with a fine layer of sweat.

Her eyes were glazed over. When she saw Granny Niu enter, she murmured in a nasal, almost coquettish tone, "Granny Niu, will I die?"

This pitiful appearance was completely different from the empress who usually looked down on all living beings.

Sonia and Mary were in a panic, while the Amazon Lily doctor looked completely helpless. She had never seen such a strange symptom before; it was neither an injury nor a common disease, and she had no idea where to begin.

“Strange, this doesn’t look like a medical condition.”

Luffy looked at Hancock with a puzzled expression.

However, just looking at it doesn't reveal anything, so Luffy wants to try it out.

Granny New tapped her hand with her serpent staff and said, "You go out first."

"Hey, actually I..."

"Get out, get out."

Luffy was kicked out by Granny Newt.

No, this isn't good.

Granny New walked to the bedside and carefully observed Hancock's symptoms. Just now, as soon as Luffy opened his mouth, Hancock started panting.

"So alike, so very alike," Grandma New murmured.

She looks exactly like she did at some point in the past.

They then asked Hancock a few more questions about her feelings before she fell ill.

"I just feel..."

"Luffy..."

"Ah~"

One name elicited a particularly strong reaction from Hancock, causing her to gasp and her cheeks to flush even more.

Sonia and Mary were frantic and told Grandma New to stop joking.

Grandma New suddenly slapped her forehead.

Maru.

"Will I die?" Hancock asked, her eyes brimming with tears.

Grandma New's face was grave, and she said in a serious tone, "They will die."

Sonia and Mary were terrified.

"Our Amazonian lily's previous emperor died of this disease. The one before that also suffered from it."

She even pointed to herself, saying, "Even I, an old woman, almost died from this disease back then."

One disease can be passed down through four generations; the person may be gone, but the disease remains.

Is this the inescapable fate of the emperors of Amazon Lily?

"I'm a doctor too. If there's nothing I can do, let me take a look!" Luffy shouted from outside.

Perona, standing next to her, looked on in surprise: "You really are a doctor."

Luffy said, "Of course, I've cured a few patients, okay?"

The battle record is verifiable!

Hancock, who was on the bed, seemed to be injected with some kind of magic potion the moment she heard Luffy's voice. She sat up abruptly, the flush on her face faded a little, and her eyes became clearer.
