"Almost upstairs!"

"I've seen the light!"

Yamato looked at the looming stair exit in his sight and suddenly accelerated his speed.

Yamato flew out of the prison gate like a sharp arrow.

"Welcome back! Yamato!"

Katakuri seemed to have been prepared for a long time and already knew that Yamato would come back. At the right time, he smiled at Yamato who had returned after hard work.

"Well! I'm back! Thank you for your hard work!"

Yamato's eyes swept over Katakuri, Mihawk, Reiju, Eniro, and Perona who were called back by everyone. Finally, he found that all five of them were fine, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

, nodded slightly.

Half an hour later, aboard the Sakura.

"Wow~ This battleship is so powerful!"

A group of pirates who had just come out of the prison gently touched the hard guardrail deck of the Sakura and made a shocking sound.

"It won't be a problem even if this battleship can carry hundreds of people, right?"

"Yamato, when you went to sea, you were already ready to attack the Four Emperors, right? That's amazing! Sure enough, the tiger father has no dog daughter!"

Ambrio Ivankov asked Yamato.

"ah?"

"Ahahaha...have you discovered all this?"

Yamato blushed when she heard Ivankov's praise. In fact, she didn't think about it that much at all. When she went to sea, she just thought that she must drive the best ship in the country.

"Now that Yamato has rescued Ace's brother~ It's rare that there are so many people, so why not hold a banquet!"

Musashi seemed to be addicted to alcohol, so she suggested aloud.

"The banquet? That's great! I haven't eaten meat for a long time! Thank you for the suggestion, sister!"

Several prisoners listened to Musashi's words and began to drool.

"Meat?!" Luffy began to salivate after mentioning this fatal term, but within the next second, he forcibly stopped his desire, and Luffy punched himself hard in the face.

, "Now! This is not the time to think about this!"

"Luffy, what are you doing?"

Ace looked at Luffy who committed suicide for no reason, and a flash of worry flashed in his heart. If Luffy became dementia due to being in the deep sea prison for too long, it would be his responsibility as an older brother for not saving Luffy in time. I hope

Sabo in heaven can forgive him.

"Everyone! Listen to me! Now I have a very important thing to do! A man who helped me a lot is now being executed in Marinefando, and I want to save him!"

Luffy shook his head towards Ace and said what he was thinking.

"Being executed in Marineventor? What happened?"

Some uninformed prisoners looked at Luffy in confusion, a bad premonition flashing through their hearts.

"The captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates has been arrested and thrown into prison. Today is the execution day set by the navy for the captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates. In other words, the current Malinfando

The climax has been reached, the decisive battle between the Navy and the strongest man in the world, Whitebeard, who is only one step away from becoming the Pirate King! No matter who wins in the end, all will be given.

This world brings great changes!”

Mihawk, who had been silent all this time, lowered his voice and spoke to everyone.

"Navy Headquarters vs. Whitebeard Pirates? Is the world going to end?"

"Brothers, is it too late for me to go back to hell? Isn't Marinevando now more dangerous than the Deep Sea Prison? Compared to Whitebeard and the Admiral, for some reason, Mr. Magellan suddenly feels much cuter."

"Don't go! I'm scared!"

One prisoner preached without motivation and was so frightened that he almost peed his pants.

"Ah! Mihawk, you already know about this? Then do you know where the beheaded man came from?"

Yamato was slightly startled when she heard Mihawk read out the message. She thought that only a few people on the ship knew it well~ After all, Blackbeard's mouth was leaky, and his words were unclear, and most people would probably hear it.

She didn't understand, but now it seemed that Mihawk knew more than her, so she couldn't help but ask.

"It seems that you already understand everything, Yamato. I don't recommend you to go there! But now that you understand it, there is nothing you can do."

Mihawk crossed his arms across his chest and said helplessly.

"Hey, who made it clear to me!"

Yamato smiled proudly at Mihawk.

"It seems the next stop has been decided!"

"That's fine! We're going to make a grand appearance! And then we'll amaze the whole world! Let me tell you that the next Pirate King has appeared!"

Katakuri smiled slightly, it was finally time to announce to the world.

"Hmph~"

After hearing Katakuri's words, Yamato felt warm in his heart, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and then...

"Yes! I am the next Pirate King!"

Then, Yamato heard Luffy's voice.

"Snapped!"

Yamato punched Luffy on the head.

"it hurts!"

"As expected, you used that ability called domineering again! Damn it! If only I could also be domineering."

Luffy covered his head and said in pain.

"Only you? Hahaha... it's still far from enough!"

Yamato smiled innocently and flicked Luffy's head again. If the man in front of him wasn't Ace's brother, he would be dead.

"Everyone! There is a very unfortunate thing I want to say. Because the man who was executed has something to do with me personally, our next stop is the Navy Headquarters Marineland."

After Yamato used his weapon color to pop several big bags on Luffy's head, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to everyone.

"Are you also going to save the white-bearded captain of the second division?"

Crocodile frowned after hearing what Yamato said. To be honest, he hated the white-bearded Captain of the Second Division. Without his help, how could Luffy defeat him?

"No! Just the opposite of Ace's brother, I'm going to kill him!"

Yamato shook his head slightly towards Crocodile, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he said coldly.

"Oh? Hahahaha... did that guy offend you?"

After hearing what Yamato said, Crocodile laughed and asked.

"No, but if my guess is correct, the captain of the second team should be from Zaun, and he is someone who violated the country's laws and went to sea privately! According to the rules of our country, he should be killed!"

Yamato told Crocodile the cause of the matter.

"What? Are you going to kill my benefactor?"

Straw hat boy Luffy covered his head with a big bump and asked excitedly towards Yamato.

"Ace's younger brother?! Who do you think you and I are?"

Yamato did not answer Luffy's question, but instead asked Luffy.

"Probably friends! After all, you are all good people, and Ace is also my brother!"

Luffy answered without thinking.

"Indeed, I admit that we are all good people, but Ace's brother, there is one thing I hope you know very well. I am determined to set out towards the great goal of being the Pirate King! You should understand what I mean now, right?

?”

Listening to Luffy's answer without thinking, Yamato smiled from the bottom of his heart with the same expression on his face. Sure enough, the biggest enemy that blocked her from becoming the Pirate King was not the Yonko or the Navy, nor the one she met before.

The Blackbeard who has a great sense of crisis for her is the boy in front of her, Ace's younger brother, the Straw Hat boy Monkey D. Luffy, because the child in front of her is so pure, a kind of person who has no distracting thoughts and is fearless for the goal.

The teenage mentality of self-sacrifice.

"I understand! I was wrong before! From now on I will regard you as my opponent! But you are still good people!"

After listening to Yamato's words, Luffy had already realized what the other party meant. Yes, they were both people who were aiming for the Pirate King. However, he did not intend to go against his own intention after knowing that the other party was his opponent.

A considered good person is a good person! This will never change.

"You kid... In short, our initial goals are not in conflict. You plan to rescue the samurai, and I plan to kill the samurai myself! But the premise is that the samurai needs to be taken away from the navy first.

Come and talk about it! As for what happens next, whether that warrior will die in my hands or be rescued by you all depends on his own ability."

Yamato didn't know what to say to the straw hat kid in front of her. She could only frown and smile bitterly before telling her plan.

If possible, she still hopes that the kid in front of her can give up her position as the Pirate King, otherwise it will be difficult for her to do so in the decisive battle in the future.
