Right away!
Raynor sped up, chasing after Luffy.
Raynor was very fast. In hardly any time at all, he could already see Luffy.
At this time!
Luffy was pushing forward with effort, quickly dodging bullets.
He turned his head and saw a man wearing a Marine uniform, but who looked really familiar.
Luffy tried hard, his face twisted like an old eggplant.
That's when he figured it out!
The person wearing the Marine clothes was Raynor.
Right away!
Luffy stretched out his arm and wrapped it directly around Raynor's neck. Raynor was really surprised by this move!
He hadn't even reacted when he heard Luffy say:
"Hey, Raynor, hold on tight!"
Raynor was confused the whole time. In that moment, he felt like he could understand Zoro's despair.
The next second, Luffy's arm pulled Raynor's whole body along.
He almost strangled Raynor to death.
The left side of his head!
Hit a railing, and finally he was steady.
After being pulled onto the high platform!
Luffy still hadn't let go of Raynor's neck.
He then dragged Raynor, quickly heading towards the execution platform.
Raynor had a hint of anger in his eyes.
If this was Zoro, he probably would have started hacking with his swords.
Raynor grabbed Luffy's hair!
He immediately made Luffy stop!
Raynor took Luffy's arm off his neck.
Now!
Luffy finally realized what he had done.
He gave an embarrassed smile and said:
"Ah, sorry, sorry, I didn't notice just now."
Hearing this, Raynor sighed helplessly. What could he do? He was their captain.
Just then!
A group of Marines below chased after them.
Seeing Luffy stop, they raised their hands to shoot, but suddenly a voice spoke up:
"Wait, Straw Hat Luffy seems to have taken a Marine hostage."
Hearing this, the Marines noticed Raynor, and immediately ordered, "Don't shoot!"
They felt a burst of anger inside.
"What a sneaky pirate, taking a Marine hostage!"
"Hey, don't be afraid, we will definitely rescue you from the evil pirate!"
Hearing what they said!
Raynor couldn't help but have black lines all over his face.
This was a case of trying to plant flowers and they don't grow, but unintentionally planting willows and they thrive.
However!
He didn't bother to care.
He just followed Luffy, running towards the execution platform together.
The Marines closely followed behind!
Not daring to fire a single shot.
Through the obstacles, they could already see the location of the execution platform.
Now!
They were getting closer and closer to the execution platform.
Luffy's smile was still bright, but the corners of his mouth seemed to be slightly turned down.
The front was not only the execution platform of the Pirate King, but also the execution platform of Ace's father.
He wondered if Ace had ever been here.
Thinking of this!
Luffy's speed increased a bit.
Raynor didn't hesitate, and followed right after him.
…
Loguetown, West Sea.
A small boat slowly rowed towards Loguetown.
At this time, a tall figure, facing the sunlight, slowly went ashore in Loguetown.
The bright striped shirt showed off his extraordinary presence. Two men, a woman, and a lion also slowly followed him ashore.
Then, the sea breeze blew, the waves crashed, making a sound.
The man who landed on the island first grabbed the collar of one of his followers and scolded loudly:
"Ah, who are you calling Red Nose?!"
Hearing this!
Simon quickly waved his hand.
"Captain Buggy, I didn't say anything."
Buggy the Clown let go of Simon's collar, his eyes firm.
They had heard news that Luffy and his crew had landed in Loguetown.
This was the place where his old captain was executed.
Today, he would just use Straw Hat Luffy's head to commemorate Roger.
Thinking of this!
Buggy the Clown led his crew of pirates into Loguetown.
Walking to the center of Loguetown, Buggy the Clown stopped, waved his hand, and said:
"Straw Hat and his crew are hiding somewhere. You guys spread out and find out where they are."
Saying this!
Buggy the Clown gave a bright smile.
"Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, we have to find them for me."
"This time, I will definitely get revenge!"
Having received the order!
Buggy's pirate crew scattered in all directions.
But just then, Buggy the Clown heard a familiar sound.
Plus a loud crash overhead.
Buggy frowned and looked up.
Luffy, because he was moving too fast, had crashed into a big clock tower.
Seeing this!
Buggy the Clown's eyes almost popped out of his head in shock.
He didn't expect Luffy to be so blatant, appearing right in front of him.
Buggy was about to call his partners, but then realized that they had all scattered to find Luffy.
Buggy the Clown immediately started sweating.
Just him alone, wanting to deal with Straw Hat Luffy, was just a daydream.
What's more!
There was also a tricky guy next to Luffy.
Thinking of this, Buggy immediately went into a corner and hid, preparing to wait for an opportunity.
And Luffy struggled to pull his head out of the clock.
Seeing this!
Raynor couldn't help but frown slightly.
This guy's sense of direction was probably second only to Zoro.
He clearly saw it, but he still crashed into it. He was a strange one.
Luffy pulled his head out, and then jumped up, standing on the big clock.
Looking not far away, at the tiny execution platform.
Even though the execution platform was so small, it looked so great in Luffy's eyes.
That was where the Pirate King was.
Thinking of this!
Luffy had an excited look on his face.
He stretched out his arm, grabbed the building next to the execution platform, and with a flash, he jumped onto the execution platform.
Luffy raised both hands and shouted loudly:
"I am going to be the Pirate King!"
Hearing these words, the villagers of Loguetown seemed to have some memory triggered!
They scattered and ran away!
And when Luffy shouted that, Nami, Zoro, and Sanji's eyes were drawn over.
They saw Luffy with a bright smile, and their pupils shrank slightly.
Although not in the same place, they all said in unison:
"That idiot captain!"
In that moment, they all headed towards the execution platform.
Of course, besides the pirates, a group of Marines also surrounded them.
This execution platform!
Was no longer just a simple platform for executing criminals.
This was the symbol of Loguetown, the symbol of the whole world. They didn't dare to shoot rashly.
If they damaged the execution platform, they would be guilty for all time.
Below!
The Marines shouted:
"Hey, Straw Hat kid, that's not a place you can go. Get down now."
