The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

Especially after that clash, both Garp on the high platform and Sengoku on the execution platform shook their heads slightly.

They already knew in their hearts the difference in strength between the two.

"As expected, there is still a certain gap."

Zhan Guo couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

He hadn't expected Akainu to defeat Whitebeard; as long as he could hold Whitebeard back and prevent him from causing massive destruction or interfering with the execution, there wouldn't be any problem.

However, it now seems that Akainu is even finding it difficult to stop Whitebeard's progress.

"Big fire!!"

Below, Akainu, who had just vomited a mouthful of blood, was completely oblivious to this possibility.

All he knew was that in this precious battle, if he didn't completely eliminate Whitebeard and defeat the world's strongest pirate crew...

Then there will never be another chance like this!

Even knowing he was no match for them, even knowing he might die in this battle, Akainu still faced the challenge head-on without flinching!

He was willing to give everything for his ideals and beliefs.

Even if it costs me my life, I would not hesitate to do it!

With this unwavering belief, Akainu unleashed his full power with his right arm, unleashing a massive, blazing lava fist at Whitebeard!

The raging lava, which looked as if it could sink half an island with a single punch, crashed down on Whitebeard's head.

And in response to this~

"They actually set off such extravagant fireworks there..."

Whitebeard simply raised his naginata high with a calm gaze.

A powerful, shimmering white aura enveloped the sharp blade of the Murakumo sword.

At the same time, wisps of dark electric arcs were also intertwined within this shimmering white halo.

Far from affecting its power and color, the black light actually made the halo appear even more imposing and powerful!

That symbol of the strongest being in the ocean, the advanced application of Conqueror's Haki, [Entangle]!

Seeing the massive, scorching fist surging towards him, Whitebeard simply thrust the Murakumogiri in his hand forward with a fierce thrust!

*Sizzle!*

And then, the blade effortlessly cleaved the scalding lava in two in an instant!

It wasn't just the force of the vibration that shattered it, but also the void attack achieved by the Conqueror's Haki's [Entanglement]!

By imbuing weapons or attacks with Conqueror's Haki, one can enhance their attack power and achieve a substantial attack on the enemy from a certain distance without making physical contact.

This is a level that only a very few top-tier experts can reach!

"It's really hot!!"

Whitebeard casually remarked, then suddenly exerted force in his hand.

Wow! !

In an instant, the scalding lava clinging to the charred rocks was dispersed, revealing only the dark rock beneath.

The cracked weapon was stuck into the Murakumogiri by the white-bearded man.

Akainu unleashed a massive fire breath attack with all his might, but Whitebeard easily neutralized it!

Two attacks, two confrontations, are enough to show the upper and lower odds in this battle.

"It's still a bit of a stretch..."

As Sengoku thought this, his eyes flickered and he looked at the two figures below the execution platform.

"Without realizing it, these two ants actually managed to sneak up to the execution platform?!"

Sengoku stared coldly at Luffy and Sabo below.

"Ace!!! We're here to save you!!!"

As the execution platform loomed before him, Luffy's eyes shone with increasing excitement and joy.

Although the execution platform was very high, Luffy was prepared and put the bamboo dragonfly that Link had given him earlier on his head.

"We're here, Ace!!"

The two then prepared to board the plane.

"How could I possibly let you have your way so easily, Straw Hat Boy?!"

Suddenly, the four vice admirals who had retreated earlier all returned and attacked from the side.

Led by Jonathan, the four strongest vice admirals in the world are planning to launch another attack on Luffy.

However~~~

"Sorry, this road is blocked!"

With his wings flapping in the immortal blue flames, Marco's lips curled into a smile, half of his body ablaze, as he blocked Jonathan and the others' path.

Behind him, Jozu, his face cold and stern, bumped fists with his diamond-encrusted arms, while Vista, a smile playing on his lips, deftly twirled his sword!

He sheathed his twin pistols, and with a solemn expression, slowly drew his famous sword from his waist!

The Whitebeard Pirates: 1st Division Commander, 3rd Division Commander (783rd Division), 5th Division Commander, 6th Division Commander!!

The four vice admirals of the Navy correspond to the four current division commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates!

Marco and the Whitebeard Pirates blocked all four vice admirals from entering.

"We can't let you guys stop Ace's brother, Straw Hat Luffy, from moving forward!!"

Marco flapped his wings at the four vice admirals whose faces had turned extremely gloomy and ugly.

"let's go!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Marco was the first to head towards Jonathan.

"Shining Collision!!"

With all his might, Joz used his diamond elbow to slam into the burning mountain.

"Colorful Rose Dance!!"

Crimson rose petals fluttered down as Vista leaped into the air, wielding his two renowned swords with dazzling skill, charging towards Storobelli, who also used a dual-wielding style!

The remaining two, Izou and Momonga, naturally clashed, their two famous swords sparking fiercely in mid-air!

The four of them, along with the other squad leaders, stopped all the surrounding marines.

The purpose was to create this incredibly vast space and this perfect opportunity for Luffy and Sabo!

The execution platform is now virtually undefended by any marine, except for Vice Admiral Garp and the Fleet Admiral.

This is arguably the best opportunity for a rescue!

Or rather, compared to before, this was the moment when the defenses here were at their weakest.

Even so, a vice admiral and a fleet admiral from the Navy Headquarters still stand here!

"Luffy!!!"

As Luffy took flight using the Bamboo Copter, Garp roared angrily and charged towards Luffy using Moonwalk.

"It's Vice Admiral Garp!!"

"Has Vice Admiral Garp intervened again to stop Straw Hat Luffy?!"

"No problem, no matter who it is, they absolutely cannot break through Vice Admiral Garp's defense!!"

~~~~~~~~~

Thank you all for your support! Here's today's bonus chapter!

Chapter 376: Luffy's Gear Fourth!! Are those two grandfather and grandson?! Garp has been released into the sea!!

The Marines encouraged each other, some even eagerly anticipating seeing Garp unleash his power and send Luffy flying.

In their eyes, not even Luffy, let alone Whitebeard, could possibly break through Vice Admiral Garp's defenses!

The name of a hero is so reassuring and reliable!

However, while the navy was waiting...

"Are those two finally going to clash?!"

Koby and Helmeppo, huddled in the corner, watched the scene unfold with bated breath.

This is a battle between a grandfather and his grandson!!

"Lieutenant General Garp?!"

Sabo, who was following closely behind Luffy with his Moonwalk, couldn't help but twitch as he recalled being disciplined as a child.

He gripped the water pipe tighter, as if only in this way could he gain some sense of security.

"With me here, I will absolutely not let you take another step forward!!"

Garp's forehead veins bulged as he gritted his teeth and shouted loudly.

As for this, Luffy...

"Grandpa, get out of the way!!"

He shouted at Karp there.

His voice and address reached the ears of everyone in the room.

"Grandpa...Grandpa?!"

"Straw Hat Boy, what does he call Vice Admiral Garp?!"

"If I heard correctly, it should be Grandpa?!"

"Huh?! So, if that's the case, then Vice Admiral Garp is Luffy's grandfather?!"

"Could it be just some random shouting?!"

"No, no, didn't you all notice?! Vice Admiral Garp's name is Monkey D. Garp, and so is the Straw Hat Boy's name..."

"Monkey D. Luffy... is also Monkey, and also has a D?!"

"So, in that case, Straw Hat Boy really is..."

The sailors stared in shock and bewilderment at the grandfather and grandson in mid-air.

"Vice Admiral Garp's grandson?!"

This clear understanding caused another uproar among the navy personnel present.

"Oh?! Ace's grandfather was a Marine?!"

Marco, who was facing off against Lieutenant General Jonathan, looked up in surprise and said, "I've never heard Ace mention this before!"

"Straw Hat Boy is clearly a pirate, but his grandfather is a Marine Vice Admiral, and a [Hero] at that?!"

"Furthermore, Luffy's father is Dragon of the Revolutionary Army, this..."

Not only the Navy, but even the pirates of the Whitebeard Pirates were stunned by Luffy's words.

Not to mention the Sabaody Archipelago, which is still faithfully broadcasting the news at this moment:

"Huh?! You're not kidding, are you?!"

"The Navy's hero Garp is actually the great pirate, Luffy's grandfather?!"

"So, in that case, Luffy, the Straw Hat Boy, has a father who is the revolutionary Dragon and a grandfather who is Vice Admiral Garp..."

"What kind of family, spanning three generations?! They've practically controlled every powerful force on this vast ocean!!!"

"How strange! How could a hero vice admiral of the Navy raise a son of a revolutionary army leader and a grandson of a notorious pirate?!"

"Who knows..."

Throughout the Sabaody Archipelago, everyone was stunned by Luffy's address to Garp, and the discussion almost erupted once again.

"Oh? So you finally said it~"

On the small hill, Rayleigh chuckled as he drank his wine.
