Sailing: His comprehension is against the sky, and he comprehends the Eight Gates at the beginning.

The Five Elders shared the same view; they also believed that Whitebeard's crew had no chance of winning.

In fact, it wasn't just these bystanders who thought this way; even the pirates on the battlefield were gradually becoming desperate.

Their repeated breakthroughs were thwarted by the navy, which had already blocked the breach.

Coupled with the constant bombardment, they felt increasingly hopeless and began to lose their fighting spirit.

Sensing the low morale, Marco disregarded his own safety and flew alone over the encirclement wall, intending to destroy all the gun emplacements aiming at the gaps ahead.

However, the moment he appeared, three generals appeared before him.

After a brief exchange, Marco was easily defeated and had no chance to fight back.

He even got kicked by Kizaru, which made him vomit blood and fall back into the encirclement.

Seeing this, Estun immediately cried out in worry.

"Marco!"

The despair in the hearts of the pirates was even greater.

"It's over! There's no way to break through!"

"The navy's defenses are too tight! We have no chance of getting through that gap if we don't destroy those gun emplacements."

"This time... we're really doomed!"

Crack!

Crack!

Just then, a series of deafening thunderclaps suddenly resounded in the sky.

Along with the thunder came dazzling white flashes of light.

Everyone's attention was drawn to the sudden, deafening thunder.

They all looked toward where the flash had appeared.

Then, huge bolts of white lightning fell from the sky, instantly destroying the rows of cannons in the square below.

The fortress, which was originally the nightmare of all pirates, was instantly destroyed and shattered.

This sudden turn of events caused the Warring States period to gasp in surprise.

"what's the situation?!"

"Why is it thundering all of a sudden?!"

Not only during the Warring States period, but everyone on the battlefield, including all viewers watching the live broadcast across the entire 4.1 world, was amazed by this.

Everyone looked up at the sky with puzzled expressions.

With just one glance, everyone Ace, Garp, Sengoku, the Five Elders, Dragon, and others who knew him were shocked, their pupils dilating in astonishment.

Then, figures began to fall rapidly from the sky.

With the world watching, they landed steadily in the center of the battlefield, on the encirclement wall that separated the pirates from the navy.

Time seemed to stop at this moment.

All eyes were now fixed on the powerful figures standing in a row atop the wall.

The world was in an uproar upon seeing this unexpected guest appear on the battlefield.

"what happened?"

"Who are those people? How dare they trespass into a place like that!"

"Those people... no way?!"

"How could this be?! Why would they come here?"

"Really?! That guy in the straw hat..."

The whole world was shocked and surprised by the sudden appearance of this group of people.

Everyone on the battlefield seemed frozen in place, staring intently at the people above the encirclement wall.

Garp and Ace reacted the most intensely, their pupils trembling and their expressions becoming uncontrollably distorted as they fixed their gazes on the figure wearing a straw hat.

Just as Ace's pupils flickered as he stared blankly at that figure...

He saw the figure adjust his straw hat, then slowly raise his head and look at him.

The moment their eyes met, the man suddenly grinned and said...

"Yo! Ace!"

"I'm here to save you!"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Ace's lips moved slightly, and he subconsciously uttered a single word.

"road..."

Suddenly, he couldn't hold back anymore, tears instantly welled up in his eyes, and he opened his mouth wide, shouting out that name with all his might.

"Luffy..."

Chapter 172 The Chosen One! The Art of Explosion! (Thanks to 147.., Han.., and HuHuHu for urging me to update and for the monthly tickets)

When Ace called out Luffy's name, the entire battlefield erupted in cheers.

Both the navy and the pirates exclaimed in surprise.

"It's the Straw Hat Pirates!"

"How could this be? Where did they come from?"

"Hey! Look! Those guys with the Straw Hat crew..."

"Jinbe, Kuma, Boa Hancock, and Ivankov of the Revolutionary Army!"

"What on earth is going on? Why are the Seven Warlords of the Sea and the Revolutionary Army with the Straw Hat crew?"

Those who had close ties with the Straw Hat crew shared the same shock and confusion as these people.

Hawkeye frowned slightly, his eyes showing surprise mixed with a hint of anticipation.

He watched Luffy's figure and thought to himself.

"I never expected that we would meet again here."

"You look even more commanding than before!"

"I think I'm no match for you now!"

Then, Hawkeye shifted his gaze to Zoro, his eyes suddenly flashing with a sharp light and fighting spirit.

"Roronoa Zoro!"

"You've gotten a lot stronger too!"

"I wonder if you, in your current state, can inspire me to give it my all?"

When Doflamingo saw Luffy, his expression immediately became excited and thrilled.

He smiled and couldn't help but laugh as he spoke.

"Fufufufufu..."

"What an unexpected person has arrived!"

"You actually managed to win those people over to your side. You really know how to create unexpected surprises!"

"It seems this war is about to get interesting!"

What will this new era be like?

The three admirals also showed surprise and other emotions upon seeing Luffy and his crew.

A furious rage ignited in Akainu's eyes. He gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

"You've come here to die, but this time you won't get away this time!"

Kizaru looked frightened and asked in surprise.

"Oh! I can't believe we've met again so soon!"

"They even brought some big shots with them, how terrifying!"

Aokiji, however, looked solemn and murmured to himself.

"Trouble!"

"The outcome of this war... has gone from being a foregone conclusion to being uncertain!"

The Revolutionary Army Headquarters.

The moment Luffy revealed his 24 forms, Dragon couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.

"Luffy?! Why are you in a place like that?"

Just after he exclaimed, he suddenly noticed Ivankov and Kuma who appeared with Luffy, and exclaimed again.

"It's Ivankov! Has he been rescued?"

"The bears are there too, what's going on?"

Holy Land Marie Gioia!

Upon seeing Luffy appear, the five elders immediately frowned.

"It's that little devil!"

"Damn it! He really knows how to cause trouble!"

"I never imagined that he could win over someone like the Empress. How did he manage to do that?"

"Those damned Seven Warlords of the Sea have all turned against us!"

"They were already a formidable group, and now they've brought along some truly remarkable figures. The course of this war... is about to change!"

This side of the battlefield!

Sengoku's expression turned serious as he watched Luffy and the others disappear into the distance.

He frowned deeply, looking incredulous.

"How can it be?!"

"How did they get here from Impel Down so quickly?"

"It's only been less than an hour!"

Garp, who was nearby, clutched his head tightly, looking extremely surprised and in pain, and exclaimed as he looked at Luffy.

"Luffy! How come even you..."

"Damn it! What should I do?"

Beside the two, Ace immediately became extremely distressed and remorseful after shouting Luffy's name.

He shouted loudly at Luffy.

"Luffy!"

"Who sent you to save me?"

"You probably already know, right?!"

"You and I are both pirates."

"I have my own adventures, and I have my own companions!"

"You shouldn't have interfered in my affairs!"

"Get out of here quickly, Luffy!"

After Ace finished speaking, he lowered his head in deep sorrow, his eyes welling up with tears, and said in his heart with grief.

"Please, Luffy!"

"Don't make me drag you down with me..."

Not long after Ace met Luffy in Alabasta, he was captured by Blackbeard and handed over to the Marines.
