Chapter 744 Public Execution
When Buggy saw that the Straw Hat Boy was already in his pocket, he became a little too proud of himself and wrote passionate words, announcing that he would publicly execute the Straw Hat Boy.
He also said that it was the Straw Hat Boy's honor to die in the same place as the Pirate King. Luffy naturally didn't want to die here, but no matter how he struggled, he couldn't break free from the shackles around his neck!
At this time, Buggy had already arrived at the execution platform and replaced Kabaji's position, but he was still chattering there, and the news that he was going to execute the Straw Hat Boy was spread everywhere by the residents who had been in the square before.
Zoro, who had gotten lost and separated from Luffy, knew about this. Nami and Usopp, who were on their way back to the beach, also knew about it. Sanji, who was looking for Luffy and Zoro, also knew the news.
Zoro and Sanji hurried to the execution platform. Usopp also wanted to save Luffy, but was stopped by Nami. They were almost out of the town and had heard the news, so there was no reason why Sanji and Zoro would not have heard it. She believed that Sanji and Zoro could solve this problem and bring Luffy back!
It's not like she hasn't seen Buggy's abilities before, and they have to get back to the ship immediately and get ready for departure. Nami has already sensed the coming storm! If they don't go back, the pirate ship will either be blown away by the storm or destroyed by the navy, so they have to get back to the ship!
At this time, dark clouds were hanging over the square, and lightning flashed through the clouds from time to time. The atmosphere was quite depressing. Some of the residents in the square had already been scared away, and there were still many people who came to watch the fun.
The rest were all minions under Buggy and Alrita, while at the street entrance outside the square was a large group of marines ordered by Smoker to ambush, waiting for the execution in the field to be over so that they could capture all the pirates in the square in one fell swoop.
"Yahahaha! Sinner! Pirate Monkey D. Luffy! For the crime of daring to anger me, you shall be put to death here! Guys! Make as much noise as you can!"
Buggy the Clown was very proud. He didn't even seem to know that this execution platform was the place where his former captain, Pirate King Roger, would die. He seemed to have forgotten that he shed tears when Captain Roger was executed. No one knew how he really felt!
“This is my first time watching an execution!”
Luffy looked at the excitement below the execution platform and said with some emotion, without any self-awareness at all. He even had a smile on his face. He had no awareness that he was going to be executed, as if Buggy was going to execute someone else.
"It's you who will be executed!"
"What a joke!"
"You are kidding me! I am going to execute you in public!"
"Stop it! Don't!"
When Luffy heard that the person Buggy wanted to execute was him, he immediately panicked. His whole face was distorted and he looked completely incredulous. He struggled desperately but to no avail, and then he started a big quarrel with Buggy.
But no matter what Luffy said, it was useless. Buggy was determined to kill the man who knocked him away. This was his ultimate belief that allowed him to survive with that small body. If he didn't kill Luffy, his thoughts would not work.
"I'm sorry! I won't do it again. Please save me!"
"How could I save you? Idiot!"
......
"This execution is taking too long. Why hasn't the execution been going on for so long? What is Buggy the Clown waiting for?"
"Maybe he was venting his emotions. You know, many winners will tell their inspirational stories to the losers. They will kill only after they have vented all their emotions!
They may even want to see a certain expression on the loser's face to satisfy them, or they may want to hear the loser begging for mercy, and then kill him while he is cursing!"
Smoker and Vic had been watching the show for quite a while. Bucky stood on the execution platform and showed off his might for a long time, but he didn't take any action.
He even quarreled with the Straw Hat Boy from time to time, telling stories about the time when he was beaten away, talking about how difficult it was for him and how he could be where he is today thanks to the Straw Hat Boy.
So today is the day when karma comes back to haunt me. Anyway, it proves the saying that villains die because they talk too much. As long as no one comes to rescue him, he won't take action.
"Do you have anything to say in the end?"
"I am the man who wants to become the Pirate King!"
Buggy's words made Luffy realize that he was really going to die today. He shouted this sentence with all his might, and his voice spread throughout the square, even with several echoes!
These words stunned everyone. They felt it was incredible that these words were said on the execution platform where the Pirate King was executed, and in this town. However, a sense of strangeness also arose in their hearts.
"Your punishment! Wait a minute!"
"Zoro! Sanji!"
Just when Luffy wanted to struggle one last time, a loud shout was heard. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw two figures standing on a street at the edge of the square.
Luffy recognized the people at a glance: Zoro, who was wearing a black turban and looking serious, and Sanzhi, who was smoking with one eye exposed. The shout just now was made by Zoro.
When Luffy saw that it was them, he immediately felt hope of survival and shouted the two people's names excitedly.
"What a bear! There should be a limit to jokes, right, Luffy?"
"If it's an entertainment, I'll join in! Anyway, all we have to do is drive these minions away, right?"
Zoro and Sanji didn't seem to take the scene in front of them seriously, but they were very worried in their hearts. They couldn't attack the execution platform in a short time, while the other party could cut off Luffy's head in an instant.
The name of the pirate hunter Zoro has a great deterrent effect in the East China Sea. The residents who were watching the excitement in the square scattered instantly when they heard this name. Only Buggy and Alrita's pirate minions were left, which made it convenient for Zoro and Sanji.
"You're here, Zoro! But you're a step too late!"
Buggy also saw Zoro, and a smile immediately appeared on his face. He raised the knife in his hand. He had waited for so long and had been chattering for so long. It turned out that he just wanted to take revenge on the Straw Hat Pirates to the greatest extent!
He wanted to execute him in front of Straw Hat Luffy's companions. Without such an important audience, the execution would not be grand. Now that the person is here, it is a good time to execute him!
......
"The fun is about to begin! Tell them to get ready. As soon as the Straw Hat Boy's head falls to the ground, they must act immediately!"
"Yes, Mr. Smoker!"
"Yes! It's a good show indeed, but you won't be satisfied!"
"He is the Pirate Hunter Zoro!"
Smoker and Vic's wait finally reached its climax, and behind them came Dashigi's voice of sudden enlightenment.
She didn't expect that the man she met by chance in the weapon shop was the famous pirate hunter Zoro. She had told this man before when she was in the weapon shop that his hobby of collecting three swords was very similar to that of a three-sword pirate hunter who used swords as a tool to make money. Now she found out that it was the same person, and she was stunned.
