[Pirate 1: Strange, wasn't that Crocodile with Straw Hat's group? Why would he attack Whitebeard?]
[Cavendish: Foolish! Obviously, it's because his goal is different from Straw Hat kid's. He's not here to save Fire Fist Ace at all! Damn it! And this Straw Hat kid is so dazzling, stealing all my spotlight! I won't rest until I settle this with him! Someday, I will definitely reclaim everything I've lost!]
[Capone Bege: Aside from those renowned pirates, Straw Hat kid is probably the most outstanding among the rising newcomers.]
[Eustass Kid: That's not necessarily true! It's just that the sky screen hasn't broadcast other videos. Otherwise, Straw Hat kid wouldn't be the only one stealing the show!]
[Jewelry Bonney: These 'other videos' you mention wouldn't happen to include yours, would they? I think you should save your breath. If the sky screen hasn't shown your videos, it means your deeds aren't worth watching!]
[Eustass Kid: You! What are you saying? Don't think I won't hit you just because you're a woman!]
[Jewelry Bonney: Nyeh nyeh nyeh!]
[Urouge: From the moment the sky screen appeared until now, every action Straw Hat kid has taken has been shocking. This time, he actually dared to speak like that directly to the man known as the World's Strongest! It's truly unimaginable.]
[Bartolomeo: Luffy-senpai~!]
Impel Down Group
Watching Luffy's performance, Buggy's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
"My god, Straw Hat kid! Your nerve is too big! You actually dared to speak to Whitebeard like that! And even compete with him for the title of Pirate King! Aren't you afraid he'll get angry and kill you?"
Luffy rubbed his nose and smiled brightly.
"What are you talking about? That's Ace's pops! Why would he do something like that? And I'm not competing with him for the title of Pirate King."
After saying this, Luffy pressed his left hand onto his hat and looked up at the sky.
"Because, the Pirate King... will definitely be me."
Whitebeard Pirates
Seeing Luffy's performance, the crew members weren't angered by his words. Instead, they chuckled teasingly.
"Truly worthy of Ace's little brother! Feels exactly like him back in the day!"
"Hahahaha, yes! Hearing you say that, I also remember what Ace was like when we first met him."
"When we save Ace, we must have a good talk with him about this!"
"Right! And let's invite Ace's little brother along too!"
"Good, good! It's settled then!"
These people were all fantasizing about their plans after saving Ace, unaware of the tragic outcome they would have faced without the sky screen's appearance.
But they clearly didn't know this yet and were still happily watching the video.
〖"Gurararara! What a cheeky brat! Since you also want to save Ace, then join in! But if you dare hold us back, I won't forgive you."
After hearing Luffy's cheeky words, Whitebeard wasn't angry. Instead, he laughed heartily and said this.
"I don't need your instructions!" Luffy waved his hand. "I'll save Ace myself. But before that, there's one thing I must tell you."
Luffy turned to face Whitebeard and told him the Marines' subsequent battle plans.
They had accidentally intercepted internal Marine communications while on the warship obtained from Impel Down.
"The Marines are going to execute Ace early? They said that?"
Whitebeard, worried he misheard, confirmed with Luffy again. Luffy nodded, affirming his question.
"The Marines seem to be preparing for something, but I didn't hear it clearly. I only caught this bit of information. I don't know if it will be helpful to you? I'm only helping you like this for Ace's sake, you know."
After Luffy finished, Whitebeard even thanked him. Luffy just waved his hand, not caring.〗
[Pirate 2: So, Straw Hat kid... why does he dare to speak to Whitebeard like that? Where does his courage come from?]
[Pirate 3: I never expected that when facing Whitebeard, Straw Hat kid acts like he's facing an ordinary person, completely unaffected by his aura!]
[Pirate 4: Straw Hat kid is truly worthy of being the man determined to become the Pirate King! He looks different from the rest!]
[Soul King Brook: Yohohoho! Mr. Luffy is truly amazing! Although I'm not really sure why talking to that Whitebeard makes him amazing...]
[Civilian 1: Alright, alright! Stop discussing Straw Hat kid for now. Let's finish watching the video first. It's getting to the exciting part! You can discuss however you want after the video ends.]
[Pirate 5: That makes sense.]
After these two spoke, others also found it quite reasonable.
Thus, the previously dense conversations that seemed to block the video basically disappeared.
Everyone quietly started watching the video.
〖"Ace, wait for me!"
With a loud shout, Straw Hat Luffy officially entered the battle.
He jumped down from the pirate ship where Whitebeard was and charged straight into the battlefield.
Close behind were Jinbe, Ivankov, and his okama army.
Seeing the pirates' morale greatly boosted by Luffy's actions, Sengoku felt he couldn't let this continue.
"Although the pirates' morale is high, our battle plan can still proceed normally. Now, follow my orders! Execute the plan as scheduled!"
After Sengoku spoke, he waved his hand. The next second, Kizaru appeared before Luffy like a flash of lightning, blocking his path.
"Straw Hat kid! I never expected to run into you here! But you came at just the right time! I can capture you now. Otherwise, those Celestial Dragons would bother me every day!"
As he spoke, he directly raised his foot, about to launch an attack at Luffy.
Just as Luffy was about to be hit, Ivankov suddenly appeared and blocked the attack.
"Death Wink!"
The exchange between the two caused a violent explosion, even blasting Luffy away.
Ivankov hurriedly checked if he was okay. Just then, another laser shot towards them.
Ivankov was puzzled. "Kizaru again?"
He looked up and was suddenly shocked. "Th-this is... Kuma!?"〗
