Chapter 143: Rescuing Ace! Twenty Admiral-Level Powerhouses Arrive
"The Commander-in-Chief of the Three Forces was killed!"
"Extra! Extra!"
"Now, the world will surely fall into eternal damnation!"
"We have also witnessed history with our own eyes!"
The scene of Steel Bone Kong's death was transmitted to the whole world via the broadcast Den Den Mushi!
Many people immediately covered their mouths, trying hard not to lose their composure!
As the Commander-in-Chief of the Three Forces, Steel Bone Kong's status was undeniably lofty!
In the World Government, the Commander-in-Chief of the Three Forces was second only to the Five Elders and could decide the appointment of the Marine Fleet Admiral, truly below one person and above ten thousand!
The death of such a high-ranking and powerful figure meant that the World Government could no longer suppress the sharpness of the God Slayer Pirates!
They would face the biggest challenge in eight hundred years!
Meanwhile, Marineford also fell into a dead silence!
Immediately after, a clamorous sound erupted!
"Gurarara~ that old guy Steel Bone Kong was killed!"
"As expected of our captain!"
"Hahahahaha, five Admiral-level powerhouses, three killed, only two left!"
"The doomsday of the Marines is coming!"
"This is really exciting! It's been a long time since I've been so excited! Following Rono was indeed the right choice!"
Whitebeard, Redfield, Rayleigh, Bullet, and other legendary great pirates also grinned at this moment, extremely excited!
Steel Bone Kong was the Commander-in-Chief of the Three Forces. His death would definitely have a devastating blow to the morale of the Marines!
"Fufufufu! How exaggerated! One against five and killed three, including the Commander-in-Chief of the Three Forces! Those bastard Five Elders must be restless now."
"As expected of Mr. Rono. It seems fortunate that Mr. Rono used a small knife when we sparred, otherwise my end wouldn't be much better than Steel Bone Kong and the others."
"Lord Rono... I will follow you forever!"
"Steel Bone Kong is dead! The biggest running dog of the Celestial Dragons is also dead! As expected of [Hero] Rono! We can definitely kill all the Celestial Dragons! Overthrow the World Government!"
"Marines, get ready!"
The team composed of Hawkeye, Hancock, Doflamingo, Jinbe, and Marco was also deeply shocked by this scene!
In the world today, who else could fight one against five Admirals and kill three in a short time!
Besides their captain Rono, who else could do it!
"Fleet Admiral Kong...!"
In stark contrast to the pirates were the Marines!
Especially Sengoku, this Marine veteran in his seventies, couldn't hold back his tears the moment he saw Steel Bone Kong's death!
He wept bitterly!
After all, Steel Bone Kong was Sengoku's teacher and also his benefactor!
Without Steel Bone Kong's careful cultivation and strong recommendation, Sengoku would not have been able to sit in the position of Marine Fleet Admiral!
Besides Sengoku feeling sad, Marine veterans like Garp, Zephyr, and Tsuru!
Also shed tears one after another!
Although Marine veterans like Sengoku and Garp were over 70 years old, with countless experiences, and would not normally lose their composure like this!
But the one who died was Steel Bone Kong!
If Zephyr was the teacher of this generation of Marines, then Steel Bone Kong was undoubtedly the teacher of the previous generation of Marines!
Sengoku, Garp, Tsuru, and Zephyr had all received a lot of favors from Steel Bone Kong to be who they are today!
"[The Most Heinous Criminal]! My Marines will be irreconcilable with you!"
"Even if we have to gather all our forces, we will execute you here!"
At this moment, Vice Admiral Tsuru couldn't help but shout angrily at Rono!
Even the usually calm and experienced Vice Admiral Tsuru lost her composure like this, showing how big a blow Steel Bone Kong's death was to the Marines!
"Aren't we already irreconcilable? Tsuru?"
"When you decided to protect the Celestial Dragons, it was destined that one of us would be killed by the other!"
Rono looked at the失态 Tsuru, grinned, and laughed!
Sure enough, as he thought, the death of the Commander-in-Chief of the Three Forces had a fatal blow to the Marines!
Especially to Marine veterans like Sengoku, Garp, Zephyr, and Tsuru!
Steel Bone Kong was their spiritual pillar!
Now that Steel Bone Kong was dead, they were about to be crushed!
Sure enough, the battles between Sengoku, Garp, and Whitebeard, Redfield immediately fell into a disadvantage!
Time was pressing!
Right now, Rono still had an extremely urgent matter to complete quickly!
After all, Future Sight Observation Haki had already sensed that he... was about to be surrounded!
And the comers were numerous, no less than in the Battle of God Valley 36 years ago!
Swish!
Rono flashed to the execution platform, facing the protagonist of this public execution, Portgas D. Ace!
Though called the protagonist, in fact, at this stage of the war, whether Ace died or not was no longer important!
The World Government would definitely aim all its spearheads at him.
But rescuing Ace was Rono's promise to Roger!
Facing the execution of his close friend's biological son, Rono couldn't remain indifferent.
Swish swish!
No need for any keys at all!
Supreme swordsmanship combined with the power of Shatter, even Seastone as hard as diamond was no match for Rono!
"Your great kindness, Ace will never forget for all eternity!"
Ace, who was rescued, immediately gave Rono a big salute—kneeling on both knees and kowtowing!
This was not only Ace's thanks for being rescued!
But also Ace's thanks to Rono for helping Pops block Squard's sword!
If not for Rono's sudden appearance, Pops would definitely have been stabbed by Squard!
In that case, Pops' already extremely bad physical condition would have been even worse!
"You are Roger's son and Whitebeard's adopted son. It's only right that I save you."
"After all, when Roger was still alive, he helped me a lot too."
"Leave here quickly. Soon, this place will be surrounded."
Rono looked at Ace with a warm smile, then unceremoniously kicked Ace flying hundreds of meters away!
Very accurately kicking Ace into the battlefield of Straw Hat Luffy!
After all, with Ace's speed, to escape quickly, only Rono could do it with his own foot.
"Nani! Someone seems to be coming!"
Seeing someone suddenly fall from the sky, Luffy was startled at first!
"Ace! It's actually Ace!"
"You've been rescued!"
After the figure landed, Luffy saw clearly who it was and immediately showed a signature big laugh.
"Thanks to Pops' brother, Rono!"
"But Luffy, you actually came, that really surprised me!"
Ace also looked at Luffy and showed a smile of having survived a disaster. The two brothers hugged each other tightly!
"We really have to thank Rono! Without him, we might never have seen each other again!"
Luffy was also very grateful to Rono in his heart.
If not for him, with the Marines' formation, Ace would have died seven or eight times long ago!
He was really a great person!
Seeing this, Zoro, Sanji, and Nami, Usopp, Chopper, Robin, and other members of the Straw Hat Pirates in the distance also smiled with relief.
Rescuing Ace, the purpose of the Straw Hat Pirates coming to this public execution was completed!
"Hey hey, tone it down a bit, Straw Hat Luffy, Fire Fist Ace!
"Pirates shouldn't be so proud in front of the Marines!"
Smoker was very unhappy seeing this scene!
As one of the few in the Marines who truly cared for the people and upheld justice!
Smoker immediately raised the Seastone weapon in his hand and stabbed fiercely at the two in front of him!
"Smoker! We meet again!"
"But this is my younger brother, so please don't attack him!"
Ace shielded Luffy behind him and showed a confident smile!
"Ace, be careful! His smoke-like body can't be hit no matter how you hit it!"
Luffy hurriedly reminded Ace.
"Rest assured, Luffy. When you grow up in the future, you'll know how to deal with this type of enemy."
Ace showed a confident smile, then released flames and rushed forward!
Engaging in a fierce clash with Smoker!
Facing Ace, who possessed Armament and Conqueror's Haki, Smoker also fell into a disadvantage!
"The Second Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, Portgas D. Ace, has also been rescued!"
"Now, the Marines have completely failed!"
"How will this war end!"
Seeing Ace rescued, the hearts of people all over the world were once again on edge!
Now, the Marines were completely passive!
If the World Government didn't act again, this war could basically be declared a great victory for the God Slayer Pirates!
Just as people all over the world were thinking this!
Suddenly.
Swish swish swish, swish swish swish, swish swish swish!
In the sky above Marineford, more than a dozen figures appeared instantly!
The aura of each figure was quite terrifying!
After seeing these figures clearly!
The whole world immediately erupted in a burst of exclamation!
"The... the Five Elders have appeared!"
"And... those people in armor are undoubtedly the Holy Knights!"
"The world's highest authority! Has taken action personally!"
