Chapter 189: The Flash that Severs Hope

"I'll leave him to you, Ace."

"Mm."

Just as Ace nodded and was about to charge towards Magellan, he heard Reiner speak again.

"By the way, do you know where Douglas Bullet is being held?"

"That 'Demon Heir'? What are you looking for him for?" Ace was stunned for a moment.

He then remembered what Reiner had done to him when they met in Alabasta before.

Realizing his intention, he raised his hand and pointed to a corner.

"I heard his voice when I was imprisoned. He's probably in that area. You'll have to look for him."

"Alright, then I'm off," Reiner said and ran inside without looking back.

Even now, there might still be a chance. At the very least, he had to collect Bullet's template before leaving, otherwise this whole trip would have been for nothing.

Clusters of flames ignited on Ace's body, the orange-red flames moving without wind. He bent his legs, pushed off, and rushed towards Magellan's poison serpent.

The battle between Garp and the several undead continued. Heavy fists and incredibly sharp slashes continuously assailed him.

"Bone Fist!" He rapidly swung his fists and legs, parrying and counter-attacking, fighting back and forth with the undead.

His gaze swept across the entire area from time to time, keeping an eye on Reiner and Ace's movements, appearing to be handling the situation with ease.

"He could have just left. What kind of trick is this brat trying to pull now," Garp muttered, catching a glimpse of Reiner's actions.

He couldn't take Reiner down in a short amount of time, that much was true. After all, these undead were indeed strong, and as a Zoan-type ability user, he was tough.

But if he didn't get entangled with the undead, it wouldn't be difficult to unleash his full power and stop Luffy and the others. It was just that he was unwilling to do so.

He was his grandson, after all. How could he bring himself to deliver a killing blow?

Garp even wanted to let Ace go, but unfortunately, his position did not allow him to do so.

The news of the public execution had already spread across the seas. They had no way out.

Although there were many problems within the Marines, in this Great Pirate Era, who could the unarmed civilians rely on besides the Marines?

They could not lose this war. The reputation of the Marines could not be ruined by his momentary lapse in judgment.

Bang!!

A fist collided with the War Ogre's. Garp gritted his teeth and tanked a lightning strike, turning his fist into a palm to grab the opponent's arm with a pull. A punch wreathed in Conqueror's Haki once again smashed into the opponent's head.

At the same time, Reiner had also found his target and arrived before a cell.

Inside was a tall, sturdy man, shackled with Sea-Prism Stone.

Long, golden-yellow hair was draped over his shoulders. He had the eyes of a demon and was currently doing a handstand, supporting himself on the floor with just his index fingers.

Seeing the blond man in the blue shirt outside, Bullet grinned, baring a mouthful of large, snow-white teeth, and sneered, "The brat who just released his Conqueror's Haki. What do you want with me?"

Bang!

Bang!

Reiner brutally kicked the cell door, twisting and deforming it, then walked in and spoke without preamble:

"I'll let you out. You help me hold off Garp. After we get out, you can go wherever you want. How about it?"

"Shiki-hahaha! You think you're worthy of negotiating terms with me?!"

Bullet laughed wildly, a trace of disdain on his face. "You self-righteous brat. You're not qualified to cooperate with me."

Reiner: "..."

Tch, this guy's brain is messed up, Reiner thought, glancing at him with disdain.

The prisoners who had been held here for a relatively long time were basically all very weak. Even if they were released, they wouldn't be able to exert much of their strength.

He hadn't had much hope for Bullet in the first place. The most important thing was to get his template first.

"Then forget it. I didn't really want to let you out that much anyway."

A cold glint flashed in Reiner's eyes. He raised his fist, walked forward, and slammed it fiercely into his arrogant face!

Bang!!

A heavy punch sent his entire head crashing into the ground. A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Bullet's mouth, making his face look even more ferocious.

"Are you trying to tickle me, brat? Shiki-hahaha!"

"Been locked up for too long and lost your mind, haven't you?"

Bang!

Reiner sneered and slammed down another punch.

He knew Bullet was arrogant, but he didn't expect him to be so crazy.

He wouldn't even accept being let out. He was afraid that besides the deceased Roger, no one else could make him give them a second glance.

Bang! Bang!

Bang! He continued to smash him until the other lost consciousness and lay in a pool of blood. Only then did Reiner place his palm on his body, an azure flame spreading out from it.

Soon, the azure flame began to retract into his palm. Reiner didn't linger and rushed directly towards Ace.

At the same time, at the hole in the dungeon wall, Jinbe, after dropping off the group, returned again.

Splash!

He broke through the surface of the water pouring into the dungeon and landed. At this time, the seawater in the cells had already almost reached their knees.

Jinbe quickly looked around. Reiner was rushing over from the distance. At the same time, he caught a glimpse of firelight in the distance out of the corner of his eye.

Looking intently, it was actually Ace fighting fiercely with Magellan!

"Ace?!" Jinbe hurriedly shouted, "Why aren't you on the submarine?!"

He had taken the first group out, so he didn't know what had happened afterward. He thought Ace had already left on the submarine.

However, after seeing Magellan covered in venom, he instantly understood the reason he had stayed behind.

"Hotarubi: Hidaruma!"

Ace's palms were open, elbows together. Countless firefly-like points of light flew out, weaving into a large net.

Boom! Boom!

Boom! When the purple poison dragon pounced, the dense fireflies suddenly exploded, sparks flying along with a large amount of splashing venom!

Hearing Jinbe's voice, Ace immediately turned his head and shouted urgently, "Jinbe! Don't worry about me! Take Reiner and go!"

And as he shouted, a burly figure shot over like a black cannonball!

"This is?!"

Before Ace could react, the Bullet undead shot past him and arrived before Magellan, punching down!

Bang!!

Magellan crossed his arms in front of his chest to block. An unstoppable force was transmitted, making him feel numb!

The next moment, his entire body was sent flying backward as if out of control, crashing heavily against a wall and sliding down like soft mud.

"It's those ghostly things again!"

Magellan half-knelt on the ground and spat out blood. He was already injured to begin with. This punch sent a piercing pain throughout his body again.

"Now, Ace! He will hold Magellan off!" Reiner shouted, jumping directly onto Jinbe's back.

Seeing the undead suddenly join the battle, everyone was stunned.

Ace reacted immediately. His body turned into flames, and his lower half rapidly spewed fire, pushing him towards Jinbe.

Could they really escape?!

"So this is their plan."

Boom!

Garp's eyes hardened. He unleashed his Haki at full power, his entire body as if bathed in violent, dark red lightning, the cape behind him billowing from the impact!

He pushed off with his feet violently, and the entire ground instantly cracked. His body transformed into a streak of light, flying out past the undead!

"Fish-Man Karate!"

Jinbe spread his legs, grabbed a ball of water from the ground with his palm, and threw it fiercely at the incoming Garp!

"Ogi: Buraikan!"

The water bullet tore through space and slammed into the opponent's body, instantly shattering and transforming into a powerful shockwave that pierced through his entire body and blasted out from his back!

"Puwaah!"

Faced with this blow, Garp didn't dodge at all, spat out a mouthful of blood, and continued to charge forward without losing speed.

Reiner, with a thought, had the undead that had been flung aside instantly disappear from its spot and reappear, flying out from behind him!

"You brat!"

Seeing the undead intercepting him again, Garp gritted his teeth and let out a low growl. They might actually escape.

"Ace! Hurry!" Jinbe stood by the wall, extending his hand straight out and shouting!

Ace's figure was already close!

However, just at this moment!

"Yata no Kagami!!"

A golden flash of light shot out at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

A slender body seemed to ignore the distance of space, instantly appearing between Ace and Jinbe!

The newcomer was none other than Kizaru!!

"Yare yare, that was too close."

Borsalino's sleazy face showed a hint of lingering fear. Before Ace's terrified eyes, a leg shining with golden light came into view!

"Lightspeed Kick!"

Bang!

A kick at the speed of light instantly kicked him back!

Garp, Kizaru, Magellan... Seeing the arrival of the Admiral, Reiner sighed internally. Now there's truly no hope.
