Chapter 745 White Hunter's Oath
"The execution platform must be destroyed immediately!"
"Guys! Stop them!"
The worst thing that could have been expected happened. When Buggy saw the Straw Hat Boy's friends coming, he raised his butcher knife. Zoro exchanged a few words with Sanji and then rushed out in an instant.
Naturally, Alrita would not let them get close to the execution platform. She gave the order with a wave of her hand. However, Zoro and Sanji were not ordinary people. They rushed forward like a tiger into a flock of sheep and quickly approached the execution platform. The enemies on the way were either chopped down or kicked unconscious. But how could their speed in clearing people compare to the speed of Buggy swinging his sword?
"Yahahaha! Even if it's Zoro, it's definitely too late for you. Your captain is finished now!"
"Zoron!"
"Sanji!"
"Usopp!"
"Nami!"
"I'm sorry! I'm dying!"
Buggy's knife finally chopped down. It seemed a long process but it actually happened in an instant. At this moment, Luffy finally realized that he was going to die. He called out the names of all his companions, then said sorry with a smile!
At this moment, he has seen through life and death. He fell down while striving to become the Pirate King. He fell down to achieve his goal. He has no regrets until his death!
On the way to his goal, he met several partners, who were the ones he couldn't let go of and felt sorry for. They had promised to go on the Grand Line together, to go on adventures together, and to travel around the world together. But now he was dying! The words and promises he had made could no longer be fulfilled!
But Luffy was very happy to meet these companions during his adventure and invited them on board. He had a fulfilling and happy time in this short adventure and trip, and his mind was already enlightened!
"What a stupid thing to say!"
"That's too late!"
“He laughed!”
Sanji and Zoro's faces turned pale when they heard Luffy's words, but the time given to them was too short. Buggy's sword had already chopped down, and they had no time to destroy the execution platform anyway!
Smoker in the building opposite was stunned. The Straw Hat Boy actually smiled before he died, just like when the Pirate King Roger was executed. He seemed to see two smiling faces overlapping!
At this moment, the position of the Straw Hat Boy in his heart has changed completely. He has become a remarkable figure. He values this pirate very much in his heart. However, it is useless to value him more, because the Straw Hat Boy will still die!
Just when everyone thought that Straw Hat Luffy was doomed, electric sparks flashed on the knife that was about to cut Luffy's neck, and then a bolt of lightning struck from the dark clouds. The speed of the lightning was so fast that it hit Buggy and his cell phone first.
At this time, the blade was less than an inch away from Luffy's neck, but the blade could no longer cut down. The execution platform burned with a gorgeous blue flame under the lightning, and then collapsed.
Buggy was also burned to death by the lightning, and only Luffy, the rubber man, was unharmed. He picked up his straw hat in the rain, put it on his head and laughed!
Except for Luffy who was laughing and Buggy who fainted, everyone was stunned. How could such a doomed situation be reversed? Could it be that this Straw Hat kid was the man of destiny? Protected by the gods?
"Go! Surround all the pirates!"
Smoker had a relatively high psychological quality and quickly recovered from his shock. He quickly ordered the marines lying in ambush outside to surround the square.
Although the scene just now was a bit bizarre, the pirates who should be caught cannot be let go, especially the Straw Hat Boy Monkey D. Luffy. This man who is blessed by God will definitely pose a great threat in the future. He saw the courage and unrestrainedness of a great pirate from the Straw Hat Boy!
"Vic! You're not helping him, are you?"
After giving the order, Smoker looked at Vic beside him with some suspicion. He suspected that the lightning just now was caused by Vic. He had to be suspicious, because Vic was the user of the Thunder Fruit!
Moreover, Wick seems to have a good impression of the Straw Hat Boy, so it is not impossible for him to help him. After all, Wick is no longer a navy.
"Haven't you heard the saying? Don't stand so high during a thunderstorm, and don't hold any metal objects in your hands, or you'll be struck by lightning. If I were to take action, I wouldn't have waited so long. It would be a waste of time!"
Vic replied with one sentence and left. The show was over and there was no need to stay here any longer. Although Dragon did not show up, it was indeed him who caused the lightning, as well as the dark clouds over Rogue Town. Maybe there really is such a thing as luck in this world, but this time Luffy was saved by his father.
"Why did he smile? Did he know he would be rescued? No! At that moment, he really thought that his life was about to end. He gladly accepted death and that's why he smiled!"
"The cannons sent to destroy their pirate ship were soaked by the rain, and the wind was blowing from the west, which was a tailwind for their ship. Was this all a coincidence? It was as if the heavens wanted to help him survive!
I swear in the name of the White Hunter! I will never let that man leave this island!"
Vic left, and Smoker stood there muttering to himself. The smile on Roger's face before his death kept appearing in his mind, gradually overlapping with the Straw Hat Boy before!
As if he had figured something out, he swore a firm oath, then carried his ten hands on his back and chased in the direction the Straw Hat Boy fled. Tashigi also left, and she followed him. She wanted to settle the score with the three-sword swordsman who had deceived him.
With the help of Dragon, Luffy and his crew finally left Rogue Town smoothly, riding the sea breeze all the way to Upside Down Mountain. Smoker's oath became empty words due to Dragon's interference, even though he was a natural ability user!
Tashigi was no match for Zoro to begin with, and the outcome would not change if she chased him further, so she could only return to the naval base dejected!
"Will you continue to protect him?"
"Of course not. I have a lot of things to do myself. Let's stop here. He has his own adventures and growth to do. He can't rely on others' help for everything. He has to become stronger on his own. Even if I need to help him in the future, I won't do it in person. I won't intervene unless it's a matter of life and death!"
"Luffy shouldn't need much help. I have laid a solid foundation for him. As long as he goes through some battles, he will grow up quickly without leaving any hidden dangers."
"That's good. I'll be leaving now. Contact me if you have anything else."
On the rooftop of a building in Rogue Town, Victor and Dragon were talking about Luffy. The Golden Merry had already left Rogue Town on the wind created by Dragon.
Dorag's guarding mission was successfully completed. He said hello to Vic and disappeared on the roof. Vic stood there for a moment and then staggered back to the naval base.
"Victor! The Straw Hat Pirates escaped. I swore before that I would definitely catch the Straw Hat Pirates. You also told me that I can't just sit there and wait for the whole thing to happen. So I plan to take Tashigi to the Grand Line and continue hunting down the Straw Hat Pirates!
I feel that if we don't take care of that man, he will definitely grow into a headache for our navy in the future. What are your plans?"
After Wick returned to the naval base, Smoker immediately told him that this was a decision he made after much thought. He didn't know whether it was because he felt that Luffy would become a big threat to the navy in the future, or because he felt embarrassed that Luffy escaped from him, so he had to chase him to the end. Only he himself knew.
"You guys can go if you want. I'm not a marine now. Don't bother with me. I'll leave Rogue Town by myself after you leave."
"Tashigi! Don't be too sad. All good things must come to an end. As long as we're alive, we'll have the chance to meet again. Go chase your dreams! I want to see a better you."
"Woohoo! Mr. Vic! You really can't come with us? You're going back to the Grand Line too, right? We can give you a ride! Woohoo!"
"That's not necessary, and it's too inconvenient! It won't be good for you either!"
