I! Summit War, The Culprit!

"If we fail, we'll have to disband."

Shiryu of the Rain said.

"Haha, I don't want to go back to that damned Impel Down."

Evil Tyrant laughed loudly.

At this time, no one was looking at them because Fire Fist Ace had been released. Almost everyone's attention was on them!

On the other side, Fire Fist Ace, Luffy, and Rayleigh were standing side by side. Opposite them was Sengoku.

"Pluton Rayleigh, don't come out and meddle in things since you're retired. We let you go back then.

Sengoku said, "Now, we'll have to leave you here."

"I'm old. Sometimes I can't stay idle."

Rayleigh laughed.

"You two go first. I'll hold them off."

Rayleigh said to Ace and Luffy.

"Uncle Rayleigh, you can't do that!

Let's go together! "

Luffy was obviously unwilling.

Rayleigh looked at Ace and said, "Don't let them down."

Ace's expression froze. He understood what Rayleigh meant. He had just been released and was already lucky to have his life back. If he dug his own grave and lost his life again, what would that be?

"Luffy, come with me!"

Ace pulled Luffy away.

"Ace, but …"

"Listen to me, Luffy!"

Ace pulled Luffy away.

Just as Sengoku was about to unleash the shockwave, Rayleigh flew over and kicked Sengoku's hand that was about to unleash the shockwave. Rayleigh immediately blocked the shockwave from World War 3!

As one of the Great Pirates of the old era, Pluton Rayleigh's strength was needless to say. Even if he hadn't warmed up for more than twenty years, even if his strength had regressed, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse!

Rayleigh's kick made Sengoku's hand tremble.

"I don't care about the life of an old man like me, but the era should be left to the young. Sengoku, it's been a long time since we last fought."

Rayleigh pushed his glasses up and looked very calm.

"It's been more than twenty years!

Rayleigh, your life will end here today. It's good that your bounty has been hanging around. It's quite an eyesore! "

Sengoku's tone was calm, but his heart was filled with anger. At this moment, he was suppressing his anger.

Ace and Luffy, on the other hand, had already bypassed them.

Garp, of course, was disconnected … He was indifferent!

"All Marine players, hunt down Straw Hat Kid and Fire Fist Ace! Reward!"

Sengoku roared, "We can't let them get away. Today, Marine must achieve a complete victory!"

Sengoku was furious. If today's execution didn't succeed and Fire Fist Ace and Whitebeard didn't die here, he would resign. As the head of the Naval Headquarters, how could he face the dead and injured Marine and their families if they were defeated in such a battle?

The expectations of the entire world?

"Rayleigh, leave the doghouse to the young!"

Sengoku jumped up and sent a shockwave straight at Rayleigh.

Boom!

The ground shattered, and it was a large-scale shattering, as if the power of the Shock Fruit had been activated.

Rayleigh, who had fought against Sengoku before, was very smart!

He dodged Sengoku's shockwave. At least one or two shockwaves wouldn't hurt Rayleigh.

"Someone needs to reveal the truth of this world. Sengoku, don't tell me you don't know Raftel!"

Rayleigh's expression was calm. He drew his sword and charged at Sengoku, who was descending from the sky.

"That kind of truth shouldn't be revealed to the world!"

When Sengoku heard Rayleigh mention Raftel, he became uneasy.

Raftel's bullsh * t treasure, of course he had it, but it was a treasure that made people fear. It was enough to turn the world upside down. It shouldn't be revealed to the world!

On the other side, Ace and Luffy were also retreating.

Of course, after spending some time on the execution platform, Ace had been regretting it for a long time. Therefore, he couldn't let others down this time.

"Luffy, don't take risks in the future!"

Ace laughed.

One of the Marine players on the opposite side slashed at him. Ace pressed Luffy's head down and slashed at his neck. However, this was no problem for him, who could elementalize.

"I'm an ability user with Mera-Mera Fruit!"

Ace chuckled, and Marine was terrified.

"Flaming Fist!"

A flaming fist charged at the Marine and sent him flying a few meters away. He fell to the ground unconscious.

"Luffy, be careful!"

Ace said.

"Okay!"

Luffy nodded his head. Ace had been rescued, and he could finally put down the heavy stone that had been weighing on his heart.

At that moment, many Marines blocked the way, trying to catch them.

Catch them and you'll be rewarded handsomely!

That was what Sengoku said!

If the Marines wanted to be promoted, they had to make a contribution, a great contribution!

Therefore, many Marine players rushed forward with anxiety, fear, and excitement.

"Catch them and I'll be rewarded handsomely, right?"

"How many levels can I go up?"

"I don't want to stay in that shitty West Blue anymore. I want to go to the Grand Line, to the New World!"

"Catch them and I can go to the New World!"

The Marines were excited.

"Luffy, it's starting!

We have to get out of here! "

Ace reminded him.

"Okay!"

"Cooperate!"

Ace and Luffy stood back to back as the surrounding Marine quickly fired.

Bang bang bang …

Gunshots rang out one after another. However, this type of rubber body was useless against Ace's elemental fire body, no matter how many shots were fired!

"Monster!"

"How is this possible!"

The Marine players couldn't believe it.

"Flintlock!"

"Rubber, rubber, machine gun!"

Ace and Luffy shouted out the names of their moves at the same time. Ace's hands formed the shape of pistols and a large number of small balls of fire were released like bullets. They were densely packed and were fired at the Marine players in front of him. At the same time, Luffy threw a dense barrage of punches at the Marine players like a machine gun.

Boom …

......

These Marine soldiers, in front of Ace and Luffy, were just a motley crew. How could they possibly be a match for them?

Therefore, no one could stop Ace and Luffy's teamwork.

The Marine players fell to the ground one after another.

"Everyone, retreat!"

At this moment, Whitebeard roared. His deep voice echoed throughout Marineford Square.

Whitebeard wanted his sons to retreat. After all, Ace had been rescued, so their goal had been achieved.

"You want to leave? It's not that easy!"

Ling Bai was about to mumble to himself. Today, he was going to step over Whitebeard and Ace's dead bodies. Even if Naval Headquarters wanted them to leave, Ling Bai wouldn't let them leave!

The plan was still in progress and it was going smoothly.

"Bastard, you're here. That's great!"

At this moment, Ace and Luffy arrived. After breaking out of the encirclement, they met Ling Bai who was about the same age as them.

However, Ling Bai was their biggest enemy, especially to Luffy!

He was the one who captured Ace and handed him over to the World Government. He was almost executed by the World Government just now!

Luffy shuddered at the thought of the danger just now.

"Bastard!

I'm going to beat you up! "

Luffy clenched his fists and was about to walk towards Ling Bai!

However, Ace pressed down on Luffy's right shoulder.

"Luffy, we're no match for him. Don't be rash!"

Ace advised. In reality, he was just as angry as Luffy when he saw Ling Bai!

"Ace, in my opinion, both of you are trash, and even your Whitebeard Pirates are no good. After today, I will replace Whitebeard as the new Pirate Emperor.

Ling Bai laughed. He was merely provoking Ace. In the original novel, after Ace was released, he could have escaped. However, after being provoked by Akainu, he was infuriated and killed by Akainu. He even lost his father's life in the process.

He had to admit that Ace was a genius!

"What did you say?"

As expected, Ace was furious. He furrowed his brows and clenched his fists. Luffy's face darkened as well.

"Whitebeard is just someone from the previous era. Compared to Roger, he's nothing. Today, let me end his era!"

Ling Bai smiled and stood where she was.

He continued to provoke Ace.

At this moment, Ace's face darkened.

"Don't mention that bastard Roger to me!"

Ace clenched his fists. Both of his fists were burning with flames.

Ling Bai knew that he was angry. Ace was someone who only acknowledged his father and not his own.

It was commonly known as a filial son!

Boom!

"Fire Fist!"

Ace roared as he charged towards Ling Bai. When the two of them were only one meter apart, he threw out a punch.

A large amount of flames was released, forming a sea of flames. Ling Bai could only feel a huge amount of heat rushing towards him.

Armament Haki covered his fist.

To deal with this kind of Logia ability user, it was best to punch him!

Ling Bai reckoned that Ace might not even know how to use Armament Haki, but this guy had Conqueror's Haki.

Boom!

Ling Bai passed through Ace's sea of flames and landed a punch on his stomach.

With a muffled thud, Ace felt a wave of excruciating pain.

“ Armament Haki!”

This was the first power that Ace thought of. It was a power that could deal with any Logia ability user.

"Holy Flame Hikari!"

Ace roared and released a large amount of flames to surround the two of them. At this moment, the two of them were in a circle of flames.

"Luffy, leave first!"

Ace's face was solemn. He had to teach Ling Bai a lesson today!

Ace had fought Marine Admiral Aokiji before and didn't suffer much. When he fought Blackbeard, Ace felt that his opponent's ability was too strange, so he was quite confident in his own strength!

Ling Bai, this pirate who looked younger than him, he had to teach him a lesson today. Even if Ling Bai's strength was above his, Ace had to make sure Ling Bai remembered him!

“ Ace!”

However, Luffy wouldn't listen to Ace. He forced his way into the circle of flames. Ling Bai was his enemy. Not only did Ling Bai almost kill Ace, but Archipelago also tried to poach Robin in Sabaody. In the end, Luffy was beaten up by Archipelago.

Hatred could be said to be very, very deep.

"Luffy …"

Ace didn't say anything in the end.

"Let's work together. Be careful. We must teach this bastard a lesson!"

Ace looked at Luffy and said.

At this moment, they were in a large circle of flames. The flames formed a tall wall, making it difficult for people outside to rush in. After all, the flames were too strong.

"Even if you two work together, you won't be able to defeat me."

Ling Bai laughed.

To him, Ace had already begun the countdown to his death.

PS: There are less than ten chapters left until the end of the Summit War. In the next chapter, Ace will be killed.
