Chapter 82 - Chapter 82: Trafalgar Law Appears

[Pirate 1: That's the Whitebeard Pirates' 5th Division Commander "Flower Sword" Vista, 15th Division Commander Fossa, and 16th Division Commander Izo!]

[Pirate 2: Not just them! Aside from the frozen "Diamond" Jozu, all thirteen of the other Whitebeard division commanders are present!]

[Pirate 3: What a huge scene! With their help, Straw Hat will definitely escape.]

Seeing all these people helping Luffy, everyone felt even more hopeful that he could escape.

The video continued to play.

〖Seeing the men blocking his path, Akainu snorted coldly.

"For the sake of that Straw Hat kid, are you all really willing to throw your lives away?"

"We have all truly felt Straw Hat's extraordinary determination and power!"

"He is the man Ace protected, the man the Old Man acknowledged!"

"No matter what, we must send him to the new era!"

One by one, the Whitebeard division commanders declared their resolve to Akainu: they would definitely save Straw Hat.

"How noble of you, Whitebeard Pirates," Akainu said, sounding utterly dismissive of their words.

Just then, blue flames ignited around Marco the Phoenix, the 1st Division Commander.

"Akainu, the danger of you trying to kill Straw Hat now is equal to the immense hope we have for him to survive!"

Sir Crocodile, standing nearby, also spoke:

"For that guy right now, whether he lives or dies, he's already in hell. Since that's the case, it's better to let him live and struggle."

But Akainu paid no heed to their words, simply charging at them with his magma fist.

"It seems this can't be resolved with just a few words now. Have it your way, then."

The two sides began to fight.

Beyond the battle between Akainu and the thirteen Whitebeard commanders, the fight between Fleet Admiral Sengoku and the Blackbeard Pirates was also intensifying.〗

[Pirate 1: The war is getting more and more intense!]

[Pirate 2: Straw Hat should be able to escape... but looking at his condition, what can he do even if he does escape?]

[Pirate 3: Even with the Whitebeard Pirates' help, can a few mere commanders really hold back Akainu? I'm afraid Straw Hat won't be saved so easily.]

[Pirate 4: In the future without the sky screen, could Straw Hat actually survive?]

[Pirate 5: Look! Over there on the sea surface, something seems to be emerging!]

As this pirate spoke, everyone's gaze turned to where he indicated. Sure enough, the sea surface began to stir.

〖The sea surface rippled violently as suddenly, a bright yellow submarine broke through the waves.

"Hurry! Bring Straw Hat-ya over here!"

The submarine hatch opened, and the captain of the Heart Pirates, Trafalgar Law, appeared on the deck, calling out to Buggy.

"Straw Hat-ya? What a weird way to address him. Who the hell are you?" Buggy's tone was rude, as he wasn't sure if this suddenly appearing Law was friend or foe.

Law, however, replied with extreme calm:

"Although I will eventually become Straw Hat-ya's enemy, a twisted fate is still a fate. Letting him die in a place like this would make my future too boring. I will help him escape. You can temporarily hand him over to me. I'm a doctor."〗

[Pirate 1: I never thought that besides Whitebeard, Blackbeard, and Straw Hat's group, someone else would come to the Summit War!]

[Pirate 2: That should be one of this year's Supernovas, the "Surgeon of Death," Trafalgar Law.]

[Pirate 3: Strange, why would he suddenly come to the Summit War? Is it just to save Straw Hat?]

[Pirate 4: Perhaps he and Straw Hat formed an alliance?]

[Pirate 5: Very likely! I heard they met at Sabaody Archipelago.]

[Pirate 6: Seems like Eustass Kid was there too, right? The three of them were once surrounded by pirates together. Maybe they formed an alliance back then?]

[Eustass Kid: Hey! Don't group me with those two! I would never form an alliance with them! Hmph! They both love stealing the spotlight so much, think they're so great?]

[Jewelry Bonney: You're not jealous, are you? After all, the sky screen hasn't shown you at all yet?]

[Former Marine Rear Admiral X Drake: But if Trafalgar Law chooses to save Straw Hat, he'll be creating a powerful enemy for himself in the future. Is that really okay?]

[Fire Tank Pirates Captain Capone Bege: I think it's fine. After all, Straw Hat seems like a pretty good ally.]

[Mad Monk Urouge: I say, Drake, you're not scared, are you?]

[Former Marine Rear Admiral X Drake: Impossible. I just think it's a bad deal.]

[Scratchmen Apoo: Is that so? But you're right. If Straw Hat survives, he would indeed be a fearsome enemy.]

...

Heart Pirates

"Captain! You actually went deep into the Summit War to save Straw Hat? How could this happen? You said we'd just watch from afar!"

shouted Bepo the polar bear mink upon seeing Law's actions in the video.

"Yeah, Captain! At that time, Straw Hat was being hunted by Akainu! You actually risked drawing Akainu's attention by showing yourself to save Straw Hat? Why?!"

The other crew members were also very confused. This time, thanks to the help of Shanks and the others, Luffy wasn't in danger, so Law's group hadn't entered the battlefield, staying submerged instead.

They had thought that even in a future without the sky screen, Law probably wouldn't get involved.

They never expected that in the video, Law would publicly rescue Luffy right under everyone's noses.

They truly couldn't understand his actions.

Facing their confusion, Law replied calmly, "It's just as I said in the video. An opponent as worthy of respect as Straw Hat... I simply couldn't bear to let him die on that battlefield."

The crew had actually been somewhat prepared for Law's explanation.

They already knew what kind of person their captain was; they just wanted to hear him say it himself.

Once Law said it, their doubts were settled, and they asked no more.

Just then, the perspective on the sky screen shifted to the battlefield between Sengoku and Blackbeard.
