Chapter 33: Chapter 33: Luffy, Who Was Executed Again by Accident!
The fourth ability, at hand.
When Su Yi saw that he had succeeded, he stopped bothering Smoker and left.
"Stop! What the hell did you do?!"
Smoker wanted to chase after Su Yi, but unconsciously tried to activate his ability, turning his body to smoke in order to capture Su Yi, only to realize that he could no longer use his power.
"Gera—"
Smoker clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles cracking.
He didn't expect that after losing his ability, he would feel so weak.
Of course, it wasn't that his physical strength had diminished; it was just that he relied too much on his Devil Fruit powers during the weekdays. So once he lost his ability, he felt very uncomfortable and found it difficult to do anything.
"Smoker, get used to it. This is life without the power of the fruit."
Su Yi left a final remark and completely disappeared from Smoker's sight.
"How can this be repaired?! What's the origin of this guy?!"
Smoker gritted his teeth and said through clenched jaws.
...
"The next step is to go to the execution platform and watch."
Su Yi had completed his plan and relaxed, no longer in a hurry.
With his hands in his pockets, he strolled through the streets of Logue Town at a leisurely pace.
"That's where Roger, the Pirate King, died. All pirates should want to see it."
In the original book, it was here where Luffy was "executed" by Buggy, and a lightning bolt struck Buggy.
This classic scene felt like destiny didn't want Luffy to die.
However, Su Yi, standing from a god-like perspective, knew it was because Dragon intervened.
But it was still a classic moment.
In this failed execution, Luffy declared that he wanted to be the Pirate King. At the same time, his smile before his supposed death astonished everyone.
But...
It made sense that, given Buggy had been stripped of his Devil Fruit powers, it was still uncertain if he could appear in Logue Town.
Alvida was very likely to show up here.
Thinking about Alvida, Su Yi suddenly realized that she was also a potential target!
Su Yi felt a glimmer of anticipation in his heart.
...
Execution Platform.
A crowd began to gather around.
"Look, someone is going up!"
"Who is that? You're not allowed to climb up there!"
"Hey, kid, get down from there, or I'll have you arrested."
A marine shouted at Luffy.
"Hey, that guy is really climbing up!"
Among the crowd, two Marine agents stared intently at Luffy's figure.
"This kid is really something, but it's not easy for us to deal with him like this. He's in such a notorious position that once we take action, we'll expose our identities."
"Wait, his bounty order has been issued, right? If he's caught on the spot, no one should say anything..."
One agent suddenly thought of something, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.
"You can still do this; I almost forgot, but the bounty order says: Dead or Alive!"
As a result, the two agents began to run toward the execution platform.
As expected of Marine agents, they quickly climbed onto the execution platform.
"Hey! Two more guys are climbing up!"
"What the hell is going on today? Why is everyone starting to climb the execution platform? Is this place becoming a tourist attraction?"
The crowd of curious onlookers erupted into noise.
At that moment, Luffy, who had already reached the top, was unaware that two people were following him.
He was just excitedly observing the scene unfolding.
"Is this what One Piece saw before dying?"
"Look, Seastone chains!"
Suddenly, a figure appeared on the execution platform and placed a heavy chain around Luffy's neck.
"Ah! I can't move!"
Luffy possessed the power of a Devil Fruit, and this information had been learned by the two Marine agents, so of course, the Seastone, an artifact against Devil Fruit powers, could be used.
Furthermore, even if the target of the arrest isn't a capable person, they still love to use Seastone.
Because Seastone is a very hard element, harder than steel.
Even Smoker has a weapon made of Seastone!
Luffy was thus subdued.
Immediately, a guillotine was pressed against his neck.
Two Marine agents, one holding Luffy down and the other with a steel knife.
"Oh, oh, he's going to be executed, he's going to be executed."
Below, the crowd of curious onlookers boiled over. It was the first time they had seen this execution platform being used for an execution. They must know that since Roger died here, this place has been inactive for over 20 years!
More and more people gathered in the square.
At that moment,
The news that someone was about to be executed spread throughout Logue Town.
Zoro, who had just bought a sword, and Sanji, who had just participated in a cooking competition, came here after hearing the news.
And Su Yi was a step slower because he was walking at a leisurely pace.
When he heard someone was about to be executed, he wasn't nervous or excited at all, because at that moment, he had already seen dark clouds appearing in the sky.
"Soga, the story hasn't changed yet; Dragon is still here."
"Hey! Luffy, why are you in that kind of place?"
"Hey! What are you doing?! Luffy!"
Zoro and Sanji arrived at the square. They originally came with the intention of enjoying the spectacle, but saw that it was their captain who was about to be executed.
Their mentality collapsed at that moment.
And Su Yi was very slow at this moment.
After seeing that the person on the execution platform wasn't Buggy, his heart was moved.
It seemed that the story had changed.
But why were these two suspicious-looking guys chasing Luffy?
Are they bounty hunters?
"and many more"
Su Yi suddenly thought of something.
"Wait!"
"In the original book, Luffy's execution was stopped by a lightning strike."
"However, the official doesn't seem to give a clear explanation of whether this was done by man or was just a coincidence."
"It's also possible that the official said he didn't see it or forgot."
"Anyway, if this is a coincidence, and it doesn't work this time, won't Luffy die?"
Su Yi's forehead suddenly broke out in sweat.
He couldn't take any risks!
"Luffy!"
Blue veins bulged on his forehead, and for the first time, he felt a bit nervous.
With a loud roar, his body rapidly expanded in a circle,
He immediately ran toward the execution platform.
However,
Little did he know that there were many more Marines in the way.
It was implied in the book that these Marines were temporarily recruited by the two agents with their own identities, in order to prevent potential Straw Hat Crew members from rescuing Luffy.
"Stop, suspicious guy! Don't come any closer, or we'll take action!" A group of Marines blocked Su Yi.
On the other side, Zoro and Sanji, who were about to rescue Luffy, were also stopped by another group of Marines.
"Luffy!"
"Damn it, how can you die here! Stop joking!"
