Chapter 149 A Failure in the Plan?

Whitebeard stared intently at the determined-looking boy in front of him, wearing a straw hat.

Whitebeard pondered to himself.

"Is this guy Luffy?"

Buggy shouted as he looked at Luffy standing next to Whitebeard.

"That brainless idiot, let Whitebeard kill him like that, you moron."

Ivankov looked at Luffy and thought to himself.

"It takes a lot of courage to do that. No wonder he's that man's son."

At that moment, Luffy also keenly noticed Whitebeard's gaze.

Luffy suddenly turned around, met Whitebeard's gaze, and spoke.

"Uncle, I overheard a communication between the Navy on that warship just now. They mentioned that they planned to execute Ace ahead of schedule."

"But it also mentioned that some preparations need to be made beforehand, though the specifics were explained using a series of complex codes. Since we all want to rescue Ace, I feel it's necessary to inform you of this, Uncle Whitebeard."

After saying this, Luffy stared intently at Whitebeard, waiting for his response.

Whitebeard nodded slightly, acknowledging the importance of the information.

Immediately afterwards, Whitebeard unexpectedly apologized to Luffy, expressing his remorse for any possible inappropriate behavior he might have had earlier.

Seeing this, Luffy said nonchalantly.

"It's nothing, don't worry about it."

Just then, Baki, Ivankov, and the group of escaped prisoners looked at each other in astonishment.

Bucky's eyes widened, and he muttered incredulously.

"How can this guy talk to Whitebeard so calmly? It's unbelievable!"

Ivankov was also so surprised he couldn't close his mouth.

However, Luffy didn't pay much attention to the reactions of others.

With a powerful push of his feet, Luffy leaped off the ship like an arrow.

After tracing a graceful arc through the air, Luffy dashed straight toward Ace, who was imprisoned on the execution platform.

Upon witnessing this scene, the members of the Whitebeard Pirates followed Luffy without hesitation, charging forward like a surging torrent.

Sengoku stood on high ground, his gaze fixed on the group of pirates charging forward, and he frowned as he muttered to himself.

"Could it be that such a greenhorn could intimidate them so much?"

However, Sengoku quickly shook his head and continued speaking with a disdainful expression.

"But even so, it will have absolutely no substantial impact on the upcoming operation."

Immediately afterwards, Sengoku quickly pulled out a Den Den Mushi from his waist and solemnly began issuing commands to it.

"Everyone, stay calm and don't panic! We must strictly adhere to the previously established strategic plan!"

Meanwhile, Whitebeard was also watching Sengoku's every move, his eyes revealing an undisguised anger and contempt.

The white-bearded man slowly muttered to himself.

"Damn Sengoku, that bastard. Does he really think there's no need for us pirates to adhere to any so-called execution time?"

Just then, Marco arrived like a bolt of lightning and landed steadily beside Whitebeard.

Marco then reported the information he had just received to Whitebeard.

"Dad, I just got news that the Navy has received orders from their superiors to execute Ace ahead of schedule."

Upon hearing this, the white-bearded man calmly asked in a deep voice.

"I've already heard about this. So, how are things going with Squard and his group?"

Marco quickly replied.

“Father, Squard and the others are currently engaged in a fierce battle with several vice admirals in the bay. The situation is not optimistic. Perhaps... I should fly over there immediately to provide them with support.”

After a moment of contemplation, Whitebeard decisively waved his hand to stop him.

"Wait a minute, don't rush. The reason the enemy deliberately leaked this information is simply to throw us into disarray and make us anxious. All of this was already within that old man's calculations. Therefore, we must remain calm and not easily fall into the trap they have set."

Marco frowned slightly, a hint of surprise in his eyes, and slowly turned his gaze to the figure that stood like a mountain—Whitebeard.

The white-bearded man's face was solemn, and his deep, sharp eyes seemed to see through everything.

"Dad..."

Marco spoke softly, his voice tinged with doubt and confusion.

Whitebeard shook his head slightly, and his deep, resonant voice rang out.

"Given Sengoku's consistently cautious and meticulous approach, it's unlikely he would do something like letting us overhear these things so easily."

Whitebeard's words struck Marco's heart like a heavy hammer, prompting him to ponder deeply.

At that moment, Kizaru's tall figure stood out conspicuously on the battlefield.

Kizaru faced the approaching Whitebeard Pirates with a nonchalant smile.

"Flash Kick"

With a slight lift of his leg, Kizaru unleashed a dazzling light, unleashing a powerful Flash Kick that shot out like lightning.

In an instant, a large group of Whitebeard Pirates members were sent flying backwards with screams, like leaves swept up by a whirlwind.

Immediately afterwards, Kizaru's figure blurred, transforming into a dazzling yellow flash, and in the blink of an eye, he stood steadily in front of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Kizaru crossed his arms, a slight smirk playing on his lips, and sneered.

"How could you rabble possibly break through here so easily?"

The Whitebeard Pirates looked at Kizaru, who had suddenly appeared in front of them, with horror.

"Yes... it's Admiral Kizaru!"

Meanwhile, Luffy was rushing towards the execution platform when he ran into Kizaru.

Kizaru looked closely and couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation.

"Oh my, isn't this Straw Hat Luffy? He actually delivered himself right to my doorstep. If I can't catch you today, those Celestial Dragons will definitely bother me day and night."

As he spoke, Kizaru's eyes were fixed on Luffy, and his whole body exuded a powerful and terrifying aura.

A yellow flash gathered in Kizaru's hand, preparing to attack Luffy, but Luffy ignored it and just kept running forward.

When Ace saw Luffy charging towards Kizaru on the execution platform, he gritted his teeth, his expression tense, his heart filled with worry and fear for Luffy.

The escaped prisoners who arrived with Luffy shouted loudly.

"You'll...you'll die, Straw Hat Boy!"
