Sengoku didn't understand the reason behind Pitte Saint's request.
But Whitebeard, standing nearby, scoffed and said,
"Hmph! Even you guys are starting to get scared?"
Whitebeard couldn't discern Pitte Saint's voice, but from the tone he used when speaking to Sengoku, he guessed their identity.
On the other end of the den den mushi, Pitte Saint and a few Gorosei were instantly enraged by Whitebeard's taunts, gritting their teeth and saying in a low voice,
"Shut up, Whitebeard!"
"All of you will die here today, what do we have to be afraid of?"
Whitebeard, however, scoffed dismissively and said coldly,
"Then you might be disappointed today."
"I won't let you have your way!"
As he spoke, Whitebeard looked straight ahead, a smile on his lips.
Sengoku felt a sudden premonition of disaster and abruptly turned his head to look towards the execution platform.
He saw Luffy currently running through the air, already approaching the execution platform.
"Damn it!"
"Can Garp really strike at that brat?"
Sengoku had doubts about this in his heart.
However, at this moment, he prioritized doing as Pitte Saint had said.
He immediately ordered the field,
"Immediately cut off all visual den den mushi!"
Although almost all Marines didn't know why they had to do this, they had no choice but to obey Sengoku's order.
With one command, the visual den den mushi were shut down one after another.
Suddenly, the entire world became perplexed.
"Huh? Why did the live broadcast suddenly cut off?"
"What's going on? Is something wrong with our visual den den mushi?"
"No! It seems Marineford cut off the signal!"
"Damn it! I was just watching the crucial part!"
"Will Straw Hat be stopped? Will the Marines win? What will this world become?"
...
Totto Land!
Just as Luffy was seen knocking away the Three Admirals one by one and rushing towards the execution platform, the screen suddenly went blank.
This caused Big Mom to erupt in a furious rage.
"Damn it! Why did they suddenly cut off the live broadcast?"
"I still wanted to see what other abilities that brat had!"
"If I don't figure out his abilities beforehand, it'll be troublesome when I face him."
At this moment, Big Mom had already developed a slight fear of Luffy.
Facing the Three Admirals alone, even she couldn't achieve that level.
Although the Three Admirals wouldn't be defeated so easily, being able to break through their encirclement unharmed and even counterattack them one by one meant his strength already surpassed hers.
...
Onigashima!
Kaido was in a similar mood to Big Mom at this moment.
He was also deeply shocked by the strength Luffy displayed.
Seeing the live broadcast cut off at this moment, he sighed inwardly.
"I never thought that brat would be so strong!"
"Damn it! I still underestimated him!"
"His Devil Fruit ability is too outrageous!"
"It seems we'll have a powerful new opponent in the future!"
...
Marineford!
As Sengoku gave the order to cut off the live broadcast, Luffy had already rushed to the execution platform.
Seeing this scene, countless pirates became extremely excited, cheering him on.
"Straw Hat, go! Save Ace!"
"Ace's brother, go for it!"
"Charge!"
Amidst the shouts of encouragement, an unparalleled aura suddenly erupted from the execution platform.
This sudden phenomenon startled everyone.
Garp stepped forward, blocking Ace's path.
His fists were clenched, his body half-crouched, and an extremely terrifying aura emanated from his entire being.
This sight instantly excited countless Marines who had been anxious.
"It's Vice Admiral Garp!"
"Vice Admiral Garp is a legendary hero, with him here, there'll definitely be no problem!"
"That's right! Vice Admiral Garp, knock that pirate flying!"
Some people still didn't know the relationship between Garp and Luffy, and cheered for Garp in this way.
Meanwhile, with Luffy and Garp.
Seeing that he was about to reach Ace, Garp suddenly stepped out, and Luffy immediately frowned, saying,
"Get out of the way, Grandpa!"
Garp gritted his teeth, showing no intention of backing down, and resolutely refused,
"No! I am a Vice Admiral of Marineford!"
"I've been fighting pirates since long before you were born."
"If you want to pass through here, you must at least have the resolve to kill me!"
"This is the path you chose!"
"You didn't listen to me and walked down this wrong path~."
"So I must stop you here!"
Garp spoke these words with extreme struggle.
Because of their different stances, they could only confront each other like this now.
Luffy, however, asked a question that shook Garp's soul.
"What if the one who took the wrong path is you?"
Hearing this, Garp was stunned.
Luffy then continued,
"You've been in the Marines for so many years, you must know exactly what the World Government is like!"
"The Celestial Dragons can do whatever they want, treating anyone as lowly, inferior life forms."
"Isn't it ridiculous for this world to be ruled by people like them?"
"The Marines fighting pirates is to protect civilians, that's true!"
"But not everyone in the Marines has such a righteous heart!"
"There are still countless Marines who will stop at nothing to eliminate pirates, even indiscriminately killing innocent civilians."
"You must know all this better than I do!"
"Is the current Marine truly the justice you uphold?"
Luffy's barrage of words left Garp speechless.
The questions he asked also left Garp unable to answer.
Garp was well aware of everything Luffy said.
It was precisely because he was unwilling to be manipulated by the Celestial Dragons and the World Government that he had consistently refused promotions.
Yet, even so, he was still powerless to change the Marines' situation, and could only silently uphold the justice in his heart in his own way.
But the result was not satisfactory.
In today's Marine, more and more Marines fully support the World Government and will stop at nothing to eliminate pirates.
All of this gave Garp a deep sense of powerlessness.
He alone could not change this situation.
Just as he was thinking about these things, Luffy's voice rang out again.
"I want to overthrow the World Government's rule and change this situation!"
"Although Ace is a pirate like me, you should know very well that he is not the kind of pirate who indiscriminately kills innocents and does whatever he wants, right!"
"If you still uphold the justice in your heart..."
"Then don't stop me!"
Hearing Luffy's last words, Garp and Ace were both shaken.
Garp stared closely into Luffy's eyes, seeing that Luffy was not just saying it casually.
This touched and shocked him even more, and he murmured Luffy's name.
"Luffy..."
Challenge the World Government?
This was something Garp had never dared to think about.
Even though he knew that the World Government had major problems, they were still the highest authority in this world.
Challenging the World Government meant challenging the entire world.
How could such a thing be possible?
Garp himself could not believe that anyone could do such a thing.
But at this moment, he was subtly moved by Luffy's aura and felt a tiny bit of trust.
Ace also did not expect Luffy to have such great ambition, and a hint of admiration arose in his heart.
At the same time, he silently made a resolution.
If there ever came a day when Luffy wanted to challenge this world.
Then he would definitely stand by Luffy's side without hesitation and lend him a hand.
Just as the two of them were shocked and moved by Luffy's words, Luffy had already arrived at the execution platform.
"Karu!"
He called out across the distance.
Soon, an air door opened beside Luffy.
Then, Karu sent Mr. 3 out from it.
"Unlock Ace's handcuffs!"
Luffy said to Mr. 3, who immediately activated his ability and complied.
Below the execution platform.
Seeing Luffy arrive at the execution platform, Garp remained motionless, standing there in a daze.
This immediately made Sengoku frown, and he gritted his teeth and said.
"Garp! Are you still unable to do it after all?"
They had not heard what Luffy said to Garp, only assuming that Garp was unable to act due to familial affection.
Just then, a furious questioning voice suddenly came from Sengoku's den den mushi.
"Sengoku! What exactly is going on?!"
"Didn't I tell you to cut off all broadcasts?"
"Why is one broadcast screen open again?"
Hearing this question, Garp immediately recovered from his daze.
He replied with a puzzled expression.
"Impossible!"
"I just ordered all broadcasts to be interrupted!"
Pitte Saint did not listen to Sengoku's explanation but said sternly.
"Go check quickly, there's currently a den den mushi broadcasting Straw Hat's image."
"The entire world has seen him break through to the execution platform and rescue Ace!"
"You must stop Straw Hat at all costs and prevent him from leaving safely!"
"Satan Saint has already gone there with CP0."
"They should arrive very soon!"
"When they do, you two must work together to eliminate Straw Hat here!"
Hearing Pitte Saint's words, Sengoku was extremely surprised and exclaimed subconsciously.
"Even Satan Saint..."
He did not expect the Gorosei to attach such importance this time, with even one of them personally making a move.
However, what shocked and puzzled him even more was why the Gorosei would say to eliminate Straw Hat at all costs?
When Pitte Saint said those words, Whitebeard, who was nearby, also heard them clearly.
When he heard that the Gorosei were personally making a move, he was also surprised.
But thinking of Luffy's identity, he could understand.
He only wondered inwardly.
"Speaking of which, even I haven't seen what abilities those old guys have!"
"But to be able to stand in that position, they must also be monster-level existences, right!"
Thinking this, Whitebeard couldn't help but become worried.
They had to quickly get the others and Luffy to retreat before Satan Saint and CP0 arrived.
Just then, Sengoku had recovered his thoughts from the shock, immediately left Whitebeard, and rushed towards the execution platform.
At the same time, he took out his command den den mushi and questioned into it.
"What's going on?"
"Why is another broadcast screen open?"
As soon as Sengoku finished speaking, a sound of fighting came from the outer edge of the battlefield.
He followed the sound and saw a group of Marines surrounding Doflamingo and Hawkeye, confronting them.
At this moment, an urgent and panicked report came from the den den mushi.
"Report, Fleet Admiral Sengoku!"
"Just now, after we closed the broadcast den den mushi, Doflamingo suddenly came and snatched one broadcast den den mushi."
"We have already sent people to retrieve that den den mushi, but those two are too strong, and we haven't been able to get that den den mushi back yet."
Hearing this report, Sengoku was immediately filled with rage, gritting his teeth in anger, and said in a deep voice.
"~ Those two bastards..."
...
At this moment!
At the outermost edge of the battlefield.
Doflamingo was sitting on a pile of rubble, holding a broadcast den den mushi in his hand, continuously broadcasting Luffy's image.
He said with a laugh.
"How can such an interesting thing be done quietly?"
"No matter who wins or loses in the end, the whole world should see it!"
"The coming new era should be witnessed by the whole world to be interesting!"
"Fuffuffuffu..."
Hawkeye stood by, maintaining a cold expression, but he chose to support Doflamingo's actions, thinking to himself.
"Straw Hat!"
"Your power should be seen by this world."
"The coming new era is brought by you, and you must have a place in it!"
"And..."
"You haven't used that power yet!"
"I really want to see, when you go all out..."
"How strong will you be?!!!"
...
As Hawkeye was thinking this, an incredibly astonishing aura suddenly erupted in the battlefield.
Among the crowd, an incredibly massive golden Buddha suddenly appeared.
As the golden Buddha appeared, terrifying purple-black lightning simultaneously erupted from him, sweeping across the entire island.
Such a scene immediately attracted the attention of everyone on the field.
"What... what is that?"
"It looks so big! So strong!"
"It's 'Buddha' Sengoku! That's Sengoku's Devil Fruit, Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Great Buddha Form!"
The moment Buddha Sengoku appeared, the fighting throughout the battlefield paused for a moment, and everyone's gaze was fixed on him.
As Sengoku transformed into his Great Buddha form, the execution platform was within reach.
He looked at Luffy and the others who were rescuing Ace on the execution platform, gritting his teeth and roaring in a deep voice.
"You won't succeed!"
With that, he, imbued with Haoshoku Haki Infusion, unleashed an incredibly terrifying punch directly towards the execution platform.
Seeing Sengoku's attack coming, Luffy immediately prepared to block it.
But at this moment, he suddenly saw a figure flash past him and rush out.
"Garp?!!!"
The moment he saw Garp rush out, (Good Zhao's) Sengoku's eyes immediately widened, and he exclaimed in disbelief.
Luffy was also somewhat surprised; he didn't expect Garp to choose to stand with them at this moment.
The moment he rushed out, Garp unleashed all his power.
Terrifying Haoshoku swept across the entire island, fiercely intertwining with Sengoku's Haoshoku, incredibly frightening.
Boom!
A loud sound erupted.
The entire island vibrated violently.
Terrifying energy surged outwards from the point of their collision, even instantly blowing away countless people around them.
"Garp, are you crazy?"
Sengoku's heart trembled violently, his expression extremely incredulous, as he roared at Garp.
This was the scene he least wanted to see.
But Garp had made up his mind at this moment and said to Sengoku.
"Sengoku!"
"I always believed that the future of the Marine lay with the younger generation."
"I thought that as long as we could cultivate people who held justice in their hearts and had the strength to support the Marine's future, we could make the Marine better."
"But the current Marine is becoming increasingly murky."
"Justice has been reduced to a slogan!"
"Luffy's words just now suddenly made me understand!"
"As long as it is affiliated with the World Government, the Marine can never become the Marine I envision."
"Sengoku!"
"This time, I want to believe in Luffy!"
With that, Garp's emotions suddenly became incredibly agitated, and he roared loudly.
"I want to see…"
"The day the World Government is overthrown!"
With a roar, Garp used all his strength to block Sengoku's attack, and both flew backward.
As the collision between the two ended, the entire battlefield fell into an eerie silence.
Not only that, but the entire world was experiencing the same scene.
Garp's voice, like a series of heavy bells, continuously vibrated and echoed in the ears of everyone worldwide.
People were utterly incredulous at what they saw and heard.
The legendary Marine Hero said he wanted to see the World Government overthrown?!
This left countless people who trusted the Marine and the World Government unable to comprehend and deeply puzzled.
