NOVEL NEXT Chapter 217: Can you give me a face?
Yes, this plot armor was too hard!
What Shinra saw was a scene that only appeared in his imagination, a miracle that had only happened in the thousands of years, yet it happened.
'Why? Why did this happen?'
It was because Luffy, the protagonist of this world, was there!
"ACE, WE'RE GOING TO SAVE YOU!"
Yet, Luffy wasn't the only one, as those who stood beside him were all strong foes that no one could imagine!
"Wh-What the hell was that?!"
"Y-You are lying, right?"
"Please tell me that I am dreaming!"
However, while the pirates were cheering, the Marines were at a loss and even felt weakened as they saw the powerful foes before them.
"ZEHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
A certain large, fat man laughed arrogantly as he shouted, "DAD, WE ARE BACK!"
"TEAAAACCCCCCHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
Everyone on the side of the Whitebeard Pirates cried and shouted happily as they saw this man, yet as the cheers of the pirates became clear, everyone on the Marine side was clear that everything that they saw wasn't a dream, but a reality.
No one cared about Teach or Luffy, who weren't that famous, and a loser, who had been defeated and put on Impel Down. What everyone cared about were the several figures who stood on the sides of those two and everyone who stood behind, since all of them were famous figures who resided in Impel Down!
"SHIKIIIIII!!"
Sengoku was enraged by the Golden Lion's act. "WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU DO?!"
"Jihahahaha!"
A man with golden hair that resembled that of a lion laughed arrogantly as he floated in mid-air before his focus quickly locked on the young man who was being tied to the gallows.
"I think that I should be the one who asks you that question, Fleet Admiral! If I didn't come, then you would kill Roger's son!
"HOW DARE YOU?!"
Yet, as Shiki's words echoed, all of the prisoners who stood near were dumbfounded as they looked at Ace in surprise.
"HUH?! THAT'S ROGER'S SON?!"
None of the prisoners really knew what Shiki and Teach wanted to do, especially when the remnants of the Roger Pirates were there, yet when they learned Ace's identity, they somehow felt that everything was understandable.
Naturally, someone smart also understood that if there weren't any problems, then the next era would be led by Portgas D. Ace.
As long as Ace lived, he would have the support of the Whitebeard Pirates, the remnants of the Roger Pirates, Shiki, and all the prisoners on Impel Down that had been saved!
When all of those forces combine—
Gulp!
No, they couldn't let Ace live!
"Quickly kill him!
"There is no need to wait for the execution time!"
"Kill that bastard as soon as possible!"
All of the Five Elders, who knew what would happen if Ace was saved, quickly made an order to kill Ace as soon as possible!
As long as Ace was killed, this coalition wouldn't happen, but if Ace lived, then everything would be as good as over!
Yet, would it be so easy?
"TORIKAGO!"
All of a sudden, many strings emerged from around Ace, protecting him, as they tried to pull him away.
"Huh?!"
The sudden move made everyone unable to react, but then they saw a blonde man, who laughed happily. "Fufufufur! I am not going to let you kill him, you little bastard!"
Donquixote Doflamingo, among all of the people, was also within the prisoner group, and his eyes had always been on Shinra, this dirty guy, who took him down secretly!
This young man was the one who destroyed everything, and because of that, Doflamingo would destroy everything of his, but all of a sudden, a bright, radiant light shone before him.
"Oh my, how scary~!"
Kizaru raised his kick high, ready to blast Doflamingo with a speed-of-light kick.
Doflamingo couldn't react, and his body was covered in a cold sweat, but someone stood in front of him and blocked Kizaru's attack!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!
As the impact exploded, Kizaru looked at the man before him and asked, "Oh, my, it's a Scooper Gaban! Where have you been, you old man?"
An elderly man with two axes that blocked Kizaru's kick grinned and said, "We still need him, Kizaru. Can you give me a face and let him go?"
"What are you? Red Hair?"
The two of them quickly fought and caused much destruction in the surroundings, including the ships and islands that were floating due to Shiki's power.
Yup, everyone on Impel Down escaped, all due to Shiki's Devil Fruit, the Awa Awa no Mi, which made him able to levitate anything, making it float and weightless.
Or rather, Shiki was also the only man who could escape from Impel Down.
Cutting his own legs, he then used his Devil Fruit to float and escaped, and closed his wounds by sticking his two blades on his cut legs.
Still, everyone who came from Impel Down was stunned when they saw Whitebeard, who was hurt and had part of his flesh blasted off.
"DAD!"
"Newgate?!"
"Who could have hurt Whitebeard?!"
As prisoners, they didn't know anything that had happened on the outside, and were locked up, and would even stay there forever, but of course, even if they knew nothing outside, they still knew Whitebeard, the strongest man in the world.
This man, who was known as the epitome of the mightiest and strongest, was hurt!
Who did this?!
However, a single man knew who had done this, especially when this man could feel the gaze of that young man, who had given him a nightmare in the past.
Shinra, who stood calmly, didn't look at Shiki but at an elderly man who stood among those prisoners. "Rayleigh, are you sure that you want to be part of this?"
"Hahaha..." Rayleigh laughed awkwardly.
"Hey, who is this young man, Rayleigh?" Douglas Bullet, the Demon Heir, asked with a solemn expression, since even if he knew nothing about Shinra, he could tell that Shinra was the strongest!
It was as if Shinra exuded this powerful aura that made any person wish to run away, yet for him, the Demon Heir, of course, it made him excited!
"He should be the one who hurt Whitebeard."
"HUHHHHHHH?!"
"He also defeated Kaidou before."
"HUHHHHHHHH?!"
Still facing Shinra, who was still looking at him, Rayleigh said, "Can you give me a face?"
Shinra just cut away all the strings that protected Ace.
"Eh?"
Doflamingo was dumbfounded as his strongest strings, which could even block the Buster Call, were cut and destroyed so easily.
"ATTACK HIM! DON'T LET HIM KILL ACE!"
Along with Garp's shout, Rayleigh, Shiki, Douglas, and many all-powerful pirates that were part of legends, quickly made their move to stop Shinra!
Yet, when they were all focused on Shinra—
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!
"...."
Ace didn't even have time to react as his headless body plopped, and his body was quickly burned by the magma.
"You, all the scumbags of the sea, will have to die here."
When all of them were focused on Shinra, Akainu killed Ace directly!
