Chapter 181: Execution

"He's going to die." Lucas sat on the steps, with one hand resting on his knees, and silently watched Ace screaming on the execution platform below.

He knew that the naginata was about to fall and no one could save Ace.

Due to his appearance, the entire execution process had undergone some changes, and Ace couldn't even be rescued from the execution stage by Luffy.

Ace's screams echoed throughout Marineford.

Seeing this scene, the corners of countless people's eyes in the Whitebeard Pirate Group became moist and tears spilled out.

At this moment, the shining naginata rose up, reflecting a dazzling light in the sunlight.

Eh!

The knife fell, blood spilled!

Silence!

The whole world trembled and stopped!

"He's dead, mhmmmmm…." Doflamingo smirked. Even though the entire Whitebeard Pirate Group had arrived, the outcome remained unchanged.

Hancock's eyes dimmed. She had helped Luffy a lot during the rescue, but now it had all been in vain.

She truly felt sorry for Luffy.

"Ace….!"

Luffy stood there, motionless and unmoving.

Sengoku looked at Ace, who had already been executed, and his head drooped. He sighed in relief.

No accidents had occurred!

At this moment, he raised his head and looked at Lucas in the sky. Fortunately, this man didn't interfere and allowed Ace to be executed. In this way, the Marine's purpose had been achieved.

Whitebeard looked at this scene, like a silent volcano. Terrifying power was trembling. There was no movement, but the surroundings were shaking at the same time.

The earth cracked and the air screamed.

He silently raised his head, looked at Ace who was already dead, and muttered two words between his teeth.

"Evacuate….!"

These two words, with infinite pain, resounded throughout Marineford!

"Dad..."

"Are we leaving like this?"

Many people in the Whitebeard Pirate Group had red eyes. They had seen Ace die with their own eyes. Are they going to leave in such a disgraceful manner now?

Tears and blood were mixed, and they were unwilling to accept such a failure!

"Listen to Oyaji, retreat!" Marco suddenly said as the first captain, his voice was a bit hoarse, but it was audible to everyone, and there was an unquestionable order in his tone.

"No need to add more casualties." Marco said this sentence calmly, leaving everyone behind. No one saw that his lips had been bitten and were bleeding.

Silence like death.

The Whitebeard Pirates fell silent all at once.

No one had any objections anymore.

The evacuation began.

No one who was in good condition carried their injured comrades and walked quickly and heavily to leave this place.

As Marco said to continue, it would only cause more casualties!

However.

Only two people didn't evacuate.

They were Whitebeard and Marco!

The two stood silently.

There was only one action.

They took a step forward and walked towards the execution platform!

Earthquake waves erupted as Whitebeard's footsteps stomped heavily and the surrounding Marines swayed from side to side.

Marco was surrounded by blue flames, and as he fell step by step, the blue flames remained on the ground and burned. His purpose was only one: to retrieve Ace's body!

"Children, take this time to retreat." Whitebeard's body is very sturdy. He is behind all the members of his regiment. It is to retrieve Ace's body and amputate his own sons.

"Let's retreat as well." Sengoku stood on the execution platform, watching as Whitebeard and Marco ran towards this side and ordered calmly.

He did not allow everyone to continue pursuing them, but instead let everyone evacuate.

The appearance of Lucas made this a paradise for ghosts. There are more and more eerie things happening, causing the surrounding environment to change. Extremely horrifying.

In fact, according to the original plan, after Ace was executed, he should have pursued and left Whitebeard here.

But now he looked at Lucas who was "watching a play" in the sky with a satisfied smile, and couldn't understand why this guy appeared here.

He had thought of rescuing Ace, but after he was executed, he discarded that thought.

At the same time, Sengoku can also be certain that Lucas is definitely not "watching a play". His previous prayer resonates through the sky, and his words marking the beginning of the ghost era in this world seem to be echoing in his ears!

The most sensible choice now is to evacuate.

This scene was broadcasted everywhere in the world through the Den Den Mushi!

"Whitebeard Pirates have failed." Someone was crying, looking very pained.

This battle is doomed to end with the defeat of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"It's good that they die. Pirates are sinful." Some people resented and jumped at the same time.

They wanted the pirates to die, especially the most terrifying pirate group.

"I wish the whole Whitebeard Pirates group would be destroyed at Marineford!"

Someone exclaimed.

All emotions are erupting, everyone has different thoughts in their minds, but they all know one thing, the action of the Whitebeard Pirates has failed!

However, at this moment, the front line people of the Sabaody Archipelago who were watching the transmission screen suddenly shouted in surprise, looking very shocked.

"What's happening, Marine and Whitebeard Pirates have evacuated?"

In the image, the crying pirate held back his tears and ran towards the port without looking back.

And strange things appeared.

Marine not only did not pursue the Whitebeard regiment, but also retreated!

"What's the situation? Shouldn't it continue at this moment?" Someone was stunned and didn't understand why this happened.

Whitebeard couldn't evacuate. Shouldn't Marine stop him? Instead, they also evacuated.

"Wait, it seems like I understand the reason." Someone was stunned, then their eyes lit up and they looked at Lucas in the sky.

They didn't think of this reason at first, but after seeing the actions of Marine and the Whitebeard Pirates, they understood it!

They are afraid of the man standing in front of the black portal in the sky!

If they remember correctly, Sengoku described him as someone terrifying.

Now.

Everyone held their breath and watched the images on the transmission screen.
