Chapter 40 The Smiling Man on the Execution Platform
Chapter 40 The Man Smiling on the Execution Platform
"Okay, the day has finally arrived. The chefs from the East China Sea gather together for the annual festival and cooking competition."
The cooking competition was full of people, and the host held the microphone and introduced loudly.
"This year's prize is the elephant tuna, a treasure of the ocean, a miracle ingredient. Who will be the one who can get the elephant tuna and seize the throne of the best chef in the East China Sea?"
"Ah haha, of course it's me. Thank you for not running away, Sanji. The title of number one in the East China Sea belongs to me." A female chef named Carmen said.
"Miss Carmen, it's so touching to be able to do this."
Sanji took Miss Carmen's hand and was about to kiss her, but then she was slapped away by Carmen with a pan.
Among the audience, Li Xiao also saw Usopp and Nami, the three of them stood together watching the chef competition.
The chef competition started soon, and the process was a little long.
Sanji and Carmen fought their way through the game and came to the final game.
In the end, Sanji defeated Carmen with his superb cooking skills, won the title of the best chef in the East China Sea, and also won the prize of the precious ingredient elephant tuna.
The audience cheered for the two's wonderful performance.
Carrying the elephant tuna, everyone prepared to return to the Meri to store the purchased items.
Nami looked up at the sky and suddenly said: "The air feels changed, it's going to rain."
Li Xiao looked up at the sky. It was very clear. Li Xiao knew that Luffy's father was coming soon.
"The drop in air pressure is very abnormal. This is the first time I have seen such a strange drop." Nami said.
The sky suddenly became cloudy and sunny, and the wind became strange.
Nami said: "The storm is coming, and it is coming to the island. It will be bad if we don't get back to the ship as soon as possible."
At this moment, Sauron appeared in front of everyone.
Zoro scratched his head and said, "Have you seen Luffy? I got separated from him, and I felt a strange aura, as if something terrible was going to happen."
As soon as Sauron finished speaking, people started shouting.
"Pirate!"
"Pirate! Run away!"
"Bucky the Clown!"
It seems that Luffy is already at the execution platform, trapped by Buggy.
Li Xiao walked silently towards the execution platform, and Nami and the others immediately followed after seeing this.
Just when Nami was about to ask Li Xiao why he was walking to the side, someone said: "The execution has begun. Bucky the Clown is going to execute Straw Hat Luffy."
"Luffy was executed?" Usopp looked shocked.
Nami said speechlessly: "That idiot."
Everyone immediately ran towards the execution platform quickly.
When everyone arrived at the execution platform in the square, the sky was already covered with dark clouds and there was a strong wind.
Bucky stood on the execution platform and laughed wildly: "The sinner, Monkey D. Luffy, for daring to provoke me, will be executed here in a gorgeous way! Make as much noise as possible!"
Luffy was shackled and pressed on the execution platform, with a very calm expression on his face, not worried at all about his situation.
Luffy said naively: "This is my first time to watch an execution."
Bucky pointed at Luffy and said, "You were the one who was executed!"
Luffy's eyes almost popped out: "Nani, are you kidding me!"
"Are you kidding? Now we are about to execute a public execution in a gorgeous manner!"
Bucky and Luffy quarreled on the execution platform.
Luffy panicked: "Stop, no, Yada!!!"
After struggling for a while, Luffy found that he could not break free from the shackles, so he said feebly: "I'm sorry, I won't do it again, please save me."
Bucky took the big knife and said: "How could I save you, idiot! Do you have anything to say in the end? It's rare to have so many people come to see you! Forget it, no matter if you have anything to say or not, you are going to die anyway.
"
Luffy suddenly clenched his fists and shouted loudly: "I am the man who wants to become the Pirate King!"
The sound was so loud that it spread throughout the square.
At this time, Li Xiao, Zoro, and Sanji also arrived.
"What kind of bear are you!" Li Xiao pointed at Luffy and asked.
Zoro put on the green turban and said: "There must be a limit to joking, Luffy!"
Sanji held a cigarette in his mouth and said, "If it's a sideshow, I'll be a part of it too."
The goal of the three people is very simple, which is to destroy the execution platform.
But there are many members of the Buggy Pirates and Alita Pirates under the execution platform.
Arrita waved her hand: "Kill them!"
The pirates rushed over in a swarm.
Although these minions were no match for the three of them, they also delayed a lot of time.
"Ah hahaha!"
Bucky was holding a big knife and laughing wildly on the execution platform, even as he slashed Luffy's neck.
"Li Xiao, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Nami!" Luffy shouted from the execution platform.
Luffy showed his white teeth: "I'm sorry, I'm going to die."
At the moment of death, Luffy smiled.
The only one in the Straw Hats who is not nervous is Li Xiao, because he knows that Luffy's father will save Luffy.
Sure enough, just when the sword was about to hit Luffy's neck, a bolt of lightning struck from the dark clouds, only to hit Bucky.
The man who would become the Four Emperors in the future was so electrified that he fell to the ground and twitched.
Li Xiao also couldn't figure out why this idiot Bucky became the Four Emperors. Could it be that he had awakened the overlord's luck?
Everyone present saw this scene and regarded it as a miracle.
A mortal man received the protection of God and survived like a chosen son.
There was one person among them who was impressed by Luffy, that was Bartolomeo, the Straw Hat powder who used the Barrier Fruit.
The violent lightning not only knocked down Bucky, but also shattered the wooden execution platform, causing the execution platform to collapse suddenly.
Then it started raining heavily.
Luffy's straw hat spun in the air and then landed in front of Luffy.
Luffy picked up the straw hat and smiled happily: "In the end, he is still alive, and he has earned it."
Sanji was so shocked that the cigarette dropped from his mouth: "Do you believe in God?" Sanji looked at Li Xiao.
Li Xiao nodded: "I believe it."
Sauron said: "Get out of here quickly, it seems there is still a commotion."
The commotion Zoro was talking about was referring to the surrounding navies.
Navy Captain Smoker, who was observing the situation in the square not far away, said loudly: "Go up, surround all the pirates!"
Smoker gave an order, and the navy rushed out from all sides of the square and surrounded the pirates in the center of the square.
The pirates and the navy launched a fierce battle, and the scene was very spectacular.
Sanji said: "If we don't get back to the ship quickly, we will never be able to leave this island again."
Everyone immediately chose a breakthrough point and began to break out.
"The Straw Hats are running away!"
"Get 'em!"
The navy immediately surrounded them.
Li Xiao threw a rotating flying hammer and knocked away the oncoming navy.
Luffy used a rubber machine gun and shot away more than ten marines.
