Ryuya channeled peak Armament Haki into the Susanoo.

The jet-black Armament Haki resonated with the Susanoo, creating a striking yin-yang effect, showcasing the pinnacle of his mastery over the Bijo Bijo no Mi.

Arms crossed, Ryuya calmly watched Whitebeard's quake attack.

The Susanoo, mirroring his posture, effortlessly deflected the shockwave.

The Susanoo absorbed the quake's impact without sustaining any damage, the peak Armament Haki completely negating the attack.

The display was astonishing.

"Impossible! That's terrifying!"

"White Dove Ryuya so easily deflected Whitebeard's attack!"

"That's the attack of the Strongest Man!"

"His defense is unbelievable!"

The scene, broadcast via Den Den Mushi, shocked the world.

Even Whitebeard was astonished by White Dove Ryuya's nonchalant defense.

"Incredible! Unbelievable!"

Whitebeard's arm trembled, a sign of his old ailment flaring up. Ryuya, a master physician, understood immediately.

He knew Whitebeard and the others were now essentially providing a distraction and applying pressure on the Marines.

Ryuya shifted his control to Zero.

The two engaged in aerial combat, soaring to incredible heights, seemingly determined.

Only those aware of Ryuya's true identity knew his real purpose: to conserve energy.

A few well-placed illusions from the Bijo Bijo no Mi would create the illusion of a far more intense battle.

Sengoku clenched his fists. "Everyone, hold the line! Five minutes left until Ace's execution!"

The executioner approached Ace, his execution blade menacing.

Ace felt no fear; he knew his leader would save him.

His concern lay with Luffy.

Sengoku transformed into his Buddha form, radiating golden light, resembling a Buddha statue.

His aura spread outwards, impacting Luffy first.

Luffy roared, "No one can stop me from saving Ace!"

His Conqueror's Haki erupted.

Sengoku's eyes narrowed.

Garp's grandson... his talent is terrifying!

This only strengthened Sengoku's resolve to execute Ace, the inheritor of the most evil bloodline on the sea.

Ace's reputation would attract powerful pirates to the Dawn Birds, and with Big Mom's crew already absorbed, Sengoku couldn't imagine the Dawn Birds' potential growth.

Could White Dove Ryuya be relied upon for containment?

His current forces were far stronger than the Marines, a mirror image of the Dawn Birds.

Sengoku focused on stopping Luffy. He stepped forward, his aura intensifying.

"Straw Hat, you won't get near Ace!"

Luffy didn't respond, focusing on the fighting techniques his father had taught him.

He took a deep breath, Armament Haki coating his fingers.

It was only basic Armament Haki, insufficient to defeat Sengoku.

Luffy took another deep breath and blew into his arm.

"Gear Third! Gomu Gomu no Giant Pistol!"

He inflated his arm to gigantic proportions, Armament Haki barely covering it.

He swung at Sengoku. But the gap in strength was immense.

As Luffy's arm grew larger, Sengoku's hands glowed blue, the light intensifying before he unleashed a powerful blow.

"Shockwave!"

Pshhh!

The shockwave hit Luffy's arm, deflating it like a balloon.

Due to Gear Third's side effects, Luffy's body shrunk to a childlike size.

Sengoku declared, "Straw Hat, surrender!"

Just as Sengoku moved to capture him, a gust of wind swept through the air.

Luffy's father, Dragon, appeared.

"Luffy, leave this to me. I'll hold off Sengoku!"

"Dragon! You actually came, and you intend to fight?"

Dragon, a former Marine and familiar with Sengoku and Garp, possessed incredible power.

But his injuries weren't fully healed. He could only buy Luffy time.

Luffy, his body weakened, limped towards Ace, gritting his teeth in pain.

But the desire to save Ace surged through him.

"Ace, I'll save you!"

The sky changed.

The Dawn Bird leader, wielding Ryūjin Jakka, descended from the heavens, followed by Ryuya controlling the Susanoo.

"Time's up! Execute!"

The executioner, seeing Zero, gulped but raised his blade.

This was Ryuya's plan.

Ryuya's Bijo Bijo no Mi created terrifying illusions, and Armament Haki coated them, attacking Zero.

Zero countered with Ryūjin Jakka.

White Dove Ryuya's role was complete, and Zero's identity had been revealed via the Den Den Mushi broadcast.

Only Ace's rescue remained.

The executioner raised his blade towards Ace.

Luffy, his Gear Third broken, was powerless. The distance between him and Ace felt insurmountable.

Tears streamed down his face.

He roared, "Ace!!!"

The executioner's blade fell.

Swish! The blade sliced through Ace's head.

Everyone stopped, staring in disbelief.

"Is Ace dead?"

"Will the Pirate King's bloodline end?"

"Something feels wrong…"

The Dawn Birds, Whitebeard, and Dragon were all present.

If they couldn't save Ace, the Marines would solidify their power, the Celestial Dragons continuing their oppression.

Then, someone spoke, "Look! Who's that?"

"Is that a Dawn Bird member?"

"It is! I saw her on their ship!"

A dark figure appeared behind Ace on the execution platform…
