Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of people, Ace's figure slowly disappeared from the deck of the naval ship.
Director, aren't we going back?"
They stood there for a long time, watching as the navy ships were about to disappear from their sight, but Magellan's orders were still not coming. The guards could not help but remind them.
"Oh, yes. Everyone, listen up and return to the city!”
"Yes, sir!"
After receiving Magellan's order, the guards returned to the city one after another. The most important task had been completed, but it did not mean that everything was over. There were still a few escaped prisoners who had not been captured. It was far from time to rest.
......
Feeling the key lying quietly in her pocket, Katie felt slightly relieved. This was something Katie had specially prepared for herself before she left.
If something happened to Luffy and he couldn't unlock the handcuffs, he wouldn't have to sit here and wait for death.
Even though she had already decided on the plan to disguise herself, she was still a little nervous when it came to this moment.
After all, he would be facing a group of people who stood at the top of the world later. Sengoku and Karp were all supreme experts without exception.
However, the arrow was already on the bowstring and had to be fired. At this point, Katie had no way out and could only bite the bullet.
"In order to increase my strength, I'm going all out!"
Katie could only comfort herself in this way.
In less than half an hour, Marlin Fando was already in front of them. Even as an enemy, Katie had to admit the magnificence of this island.
On both sides were towering mountain ranges that reached the clouds. The entrance in the middle had a solid defense system that was absolutely easy to defend and difficult to attack. This was only the most superficial strength. The experts guarding this place were the key to making all criminals tremble in fear.
It was also because of their existence that this place was known as the symbol of peace in the era of the great pirates.
Unlike in the past, Malinfando was unusually lively today. Tens of thousands of navy troops were gathered at the port, and a tense atmosphere enveloped the entire bay.
Looking at the tens of thousands of navy soldiers lined up neatly in front of her, a few drops of cold sweat could not help but appear on Katie's forehead. This huge scale was simply terrifying. There was not a single weakling in the tens of thousands of navy soldiers. They were all real warriors who had seen blood on the battlefield. Each of them had the strength of a general officer.
Seeing this, Katie couldn't help but feel glad about her decision. She was glad that she didn't back down and charged into the sixth underground floor.
Otherwise, he would only be reduced to an ordinary cannon fodder in this war.
Soon, Katie was brought to the execution platform. Looking at the two figures standing on both sides, Katie's heart clenched. On the right was Admiral Sengoku, and on the left was Lieutenant General Karp, the naval hero.
Even though the two of them just stood there quietly, they still gave Katie endless pressure. She even doubted her transformation technique for a moment. Could it be that they had discovered it?
However, when Katy met Karp's cloudy eyes, her anxious heart finally calmed down. Katy could only see reluctance and regret in those eyes. Clearly, her identity had not been exposed.
"Why are you still here?" Sengoku was the first to speak, obviously not to Katie.
"I'll just sit here, can't I?”
However, Karp's attitude was extremely firm. He directly rejected the Sengoku's question. His tone did not allow for the slightest doubt. It was as if he would attack if there was a disagreement.
"Suit yourself!"
Sensing Karp's emotional fluctuations, Zhan Guo knew that he could not provoke him anymore. Otherwise, no one knew what crazy things he would do. Once that happened, the entire situation might change because of him. This was definitely not what he wanted to see, so he tacitly agreed to Karp's existence.
"Why, why didn't you listen to me back then! Why? Why?"
There were four whys in one sentence. Even if the matter had nothing to do with her, Katie could not help but sympathize with Karp. His encounter was really speechless.
He was a hero in the navy, but his son was the leader of the world's number one criminal revolutionary army. His grandson was a new generation of pirates whose goal was One Piece, a member of the Evil Era. The adopted one was also a pirate, and he was the captain of the strongest pirate group, the White Beard Pirates. It could be said that none of them developed according to his wishes, and none of them made him worry.
"Grandpa, I…"
As soon as she said those three words, Katy realized that something was wrong. Ace had always addressed Karp as Old Master and had never called him Grandpa. Her 'politeness' might very well expose her identity.
"You, what did you just call me?!"
She cursed at her bad luck. As expected, Karp had noticed how she addressed him. What worried Katy even more was that Karp's body suddenly erupted with a strong and restless aura. It was as if a volcano that was about to erupt was extremely unstable and could explode at any time.
"Of course I'm calling you Old Master. What else do you think it is?”
As she spoke, Katie moved her face to the side, not looking into Karp's eyes. Her hands quietly reached into her pockets, ready to escape at any time.
However, what Katy received wasn't Karp's doubt or Karp's iron fist, but silence.
For a long time, Karp did not say a word. Only his fluctuating aura continued to wreak havoc in the surroundings.
When Katy turned around to look at Karp, she saw a pair of teary eyes. Tears rolled back and forth in his eyes. Although he tried his best to control them, he could not stop the tears from flowing.
Instantly, tears burst out like a flood, no longer under Karp's control.
Katy didn't know how many years Karp had waited to be addressed as 'grandpa'. Karp's love for Ace was no less than Luffy's, and he had long treated Ace as his own grandson. Of course, he wanted to hear Ace call him' grandpa'.
But Karp also knew that Ace would never call him that easily. Because of Roger, he had sealed himself up tightly. He wanted his family but did not dare to touch them, afraid that he would hurt others because of him.
Just as he was about to ignore it, the voice he had been longing for suddenly sounded. At that moment, Karp felt that everything he had done was worth it.
However, when Karp realized Ace's current situation, he could not help but look at Hai Loushi's handcuffs that were controlling Ace.
The aura emanating from his body became more and more restless and unstable.
"Karp! Don't forget your duty!"
Sengoku, who realized that the situation was not right, quickly reminded Karp. He was speechless. What he was afraid of really happened.
Hearing Sengoku's call, Karp's mood improved slightly. He retracted the aura he released bit by bit, trying hard to restrain something.
