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

As he slowly retreated, he also wrapped something around his waist.

In that place, besides the stocks of the [Shock Gun] and the [Instant Adhesion Gun], there was also the stock of another gun.

Meanwhile, the words Link had spoken to him before the war began were gradually echoing in Usopp's mind.

"In good times, we rely on Luffy; in bad times, we rely on Zoro; but in desperate situations, we'll have to rely on you, Captain Usopp!!"

This was Link saying solemnly as he patted Usopp on the shoulder while handing over the gadget, earnestly confirming the information.

"The so-called 'Desperate Situation' Usopp title? That sounds much better than the original 'Sticky Gun' title."

Usopp's grin stretched almost to the back of his ears.

He turned his head and glanced again at the scene on the execution platform, and retreated even more vigorously with his head down.

"Just wait and see, Captain Usopp, you're destined to turn the tide in this desperate situation, the most remarkable and bravest warrior on the entire battlefield!!"

He hurriedly ran off the field.

"Yoohoo! I can't wait to see what kind of power Captain Luffy will show!!"

Brook straightened his disheveled and tattered clothes, no longer looking at Lieutenant General Keisha on the ground, frozen in ice, her sunglasses shattered, her once dashing appearance gone.

Instead, they stared intently at the scene in the sky.

"This is such an exciting moment, my heart is pounding... Ah, I feel like I don't have a heart, yohohohoho!!!"

The other side~

"Ouch!!!"

Ah Niu also waved his arms excitedly.

Although it could not speak, the sight of the Mozambican lieutenant general lying at its feet spoke volumes about its current battle results and its turbulent emotions!

He looked confidently at the captain in the sky, who was usually unreliable but proved useful in crucial moments, and was convinced that he could successfully complete this rescue mission!

"Straw hat is the head of the household..."

On the iron wall, Law held in his hand the head of Vergo, who had been dismembered into eight pieces by Law's Op-Op Fruit power, his face covered in blood and unconscious.

Together with Daz, who had also finished his battle, they looked at the scene on the execution platform.

"Are you getting serious now, Sengoku period..."

Upon seeing this, Whitebeard's eyes narrowed slightly. "It really is a dazzling luster."

If he weren't worried that getting too close would easily provoke Sengoku and cause him to immediately execute Ace, he would have rushed over long ago.

The ability user wearing seastone handcuffs is the most vulnerable person on this sea.

The space above the execution platform.

"Get out of my way!!!"

As the dazzling golden light shone down, Luffy finally realized that Sengoku was there.

As he roared, he felt a chill run down his spine as he sensed the powerful aura rising from the other person.

"This guy is really strong!!!"

Just as Luffy was giving his assessment of Sengoku, his deep, resonant Buddhist voice calmly spoke out:

"With me here, I will absolutely not allow you to get even a step closer to this execution platform!!"

He took a sudden step forward, staring at Luffy in Gear Fourth mode, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

If the Luffy in front of him was only the kind of pirate who was only at the level of the first half of the Grand Line, Sengoku wouldn't mind giving face to his colleague Garp.

Just lightly knock him away; don't inflict too much damage.

But~~~

Currently, Luffy's potential and strength have exceeded everyone's expectations.

Moreover, besides him, his crew members were all troublesome and difficult to deal with.

Especially after the Straw Hat Pirates joined the war, the Navy's operations became increasingly unsuccessful, resulting in one defeat after another.

Even their navy is showing signs of defeat!

The Straw Hat Pirates have become a formidable force, comparable to the Four Emperors, and have been placed on the kill list that must be eliminated!

Therefore, the Warring States period no longer intended to hold back!

"We absolutely cannot release you people back into the sea!!"

·· ·····Requesting flowers· ······

Sengoku spoke in a deep voice, clenching his fist!

Above that fist, a halo of light, no less powerful than Whitebeard's vibration, appeared in the very center of his palm!

"You're staying here, Straw Hat Boy!!!"

"Buddha's Fist - Shockwave!!!"

The powerful fist, accompanied by a shockwave that seemed to absorb air, slammed towards Luffy.

"Rubber rubber... Lion Rocket Launcher!!!"

Upon seeing that powerful attack, Luffy instinctively pushed his massive arms forward to try and defend himself.

boom! ! !

The powerful shockwave fist clashed and collided with the impact of the fourth-gear Armament Haki in mid-air.

However~~~

Luffy uses both hands, while Sengoku only uses one fist.

Swish! !

Zhan Guo suddenly reached out with his other free hand.

He raised one palm and shoved Luffy, who hadn't even reacted yet!

"not good!!!"

A red light flashed in his eyes, as if he could foresee the future. Luffy's expression changed drastically, and he tried to move aside to dodge.

But ~

How could an attack from someone who possesses both mental and physical prowess be so easily dodged?!

....... ........ .......

boom! !

The shockwave that had been building up in his palm struck Luffy's former self head-on!

Poof~! !

A mouthful of blood gushed from Luffy's mouth.

"Um?!!"

Sengoku raised an eyebrow; the scene he had imagined—Luffy being sent flying backward by the shockwave—did not occur.

"Did they use the propulsion from the jets under their feet to forcibly prevent their bodies from moving backward?!"

Sengoku glanced at Luffy's lower body, which had already retracted its legs, leaving only its knees, and narrowed his eyes.

"But forcibly stopping your retreat will only make the impact more intense and your injuries more severe!"

"Cough cough!!"

As Sengoku finished his thought, Luffy indeed coughed up two more mouthfuls of blood.

"I already said that……"

Luffy raised his head, his black eyes filled with an unprecedented determination:

"I must rescue Ace!!!"

"Luffy……"

When Ace, who was bound on the execution platform, saw Luffy in this state, he couldn't help but tremble.

He desperately wanted to rush out and let Luffy escape!

He now deeply regrets his impulsive decision, which has put his father, family, and brother in such a difficult and unpleasant situation.

"A commendable determination..."

"But this world isn't a place where you can get things done just by talking a few words!" Zhan Guo said in a deep voice.

As he spoke, he casually unleashed another palm strike, sending Sabo, who was trying to sneak up next to Ace, flying away.

"Ahem, they are indeed quite troublesome!"

Sabo touched the blood seeping from the corner of his mouth and looked solemnly at Sengoku on the execution platform.

Even without Garp, he is still the man who stands at the pinnacle of Marine Headquarters.

With the title of "Rule of Justice," Fleet Admiral Sengoku the Buddha serves as the last line of defense guarding this execution platform.

It is indeed a very tricky situation.

especially……

"Fuck."

During the Warring States period, when he raised his hand and held up a single palm, a powerful shockwave was condensed within that palm...

~~~~~~~~~

[Thank you so much to 'Call Me Monster' for another thousand points! He's been donating almost every day, I'm truly grateful!!]

379 Transferred!! The dust has settled!! Fate is truly wondrous!!

Within his palm, a black and red arc of electricity intertwined, a sight that was utterly breathtaking.

"Conqueror's Haki... [Entanglement]?!"

Sabo's expression gradually became solemn.

As a man who possesses "righteousness that reigns supreme" and stands at the pinnacle of the entire navy, Sengoku undoubtedly possesses the qualities of Conqueror's Haki.

Moreover, at the age of seventy-seven, he has already awakened the potential of Conqueror's Haki.

Through so many years of cultivation and battles, he has also developed his skills to the extreme.

That so-called Conqueror's Haki [Entanglement] stage!!!

This clearly shows that when Sengoku hit Luffy's rubber balloon in the original version, he also held back a lot!

"That attack was just a warm-up~~~"

Sengoku said expressionlessly:

"Now, if you dare to take a step forward, Straw Hat Boy, be prepared to receive this heavy punch from me!!"

He was getting serious now, his eyes fixed on Luffy.

At the same time, a red light kept flashing in his eyes.

"Whitebeard... Ryder... and, [the prop master]~~~"

That intense Observation Haki was also constantly monitoring the overall situation within the arena.

Furthermore, those few men who posed a particularly high risk were also placed under close surveillance.

Especially since "787" is Link, with Sengoku's wisdom, he would naturally be on guard against him taking out some strange gadgets again, so that he could rescue or move Ace away without anyone noticing.

It could be said that Sengoku's Observation Haki perception of Link was even significantly higher than Whitebeard's!

He reigns supreme over the world, overseeing the entire scene.

Not only is he a master of physical and mental techniques, but his Haki is also among the pinnacle of the Navy!

"I wasn't using my full strength either!!!"

Luffy, not to be outdone, roared back.

As a red glint flashed in his eyes, his right fist rapidly contracted, compressed into several circles by a black and red aura of dominance.

"Rubber, rubber..."
