Chapter 64 An Unhealable Scar, the Oath of the Sun God!
For Nika, the Sun God in front of us and the future Pirate King, nothing can compare to the weight of the name "Ace"!
Zoro, standing beside him, had unconsciously taken his hand off the hilt of his sword.
He looked at Luffy, who seemed on the verge of breaking at any moment, his eyes filled with an unprecedented worry and sorrow.
As his first partner, he knew better than anyone what that name meant to his captain.
That's absolutely forbidden!
It's a bloody wound that you absolutely can't touch!
Meanwhile, Marco on the other side was trembling violently!
He stared intently at Luffy, his fists clenched so tightly they turned white!
The future Luffy...
Is this the Luffy of the future?
Just hearing Ace's name caused him this much pain...
Doesn't that mean...?
In their time, Ace... really...
A terrifying thought that he could not accept was growing wildly in his mind!
Do not!
impossible!
Marco's breathing instantly became extremely rapid!
He must stop this!
absolute!
"What...did you say?"
"Can...they be rescued..."
"Ace?"
Luffy slowly, inch by inch, raised his head.
His eyes were bloodshot.
He stared intently at Chen Ye, his gaze not like that of someone looking at a person, but like that of a drowning person desperately trying to grasp at the last straw!
His voice trembled violently due to extreme emotional turmoil.
"You just said..."
"Can...we...rescue...Ace?"
Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, using all his strength!
hope!
A hope so vague it's almost absurd!
But at this moment, it became the only light in his dark world!
"Yes."
One word.
Just one word.
But it was like a ray of hope, instantly cleaving through the endless darkness in Luffy's heart, which was shrouded in regret and pain!
boom--!!!
That nod was like a thunderclap of creation, exploding loudly in Luffy's otherwise silent inner world!
In that instant, those eyes, filled with despair and pain, suddenly burst forth with an unprecedented, dazzling light!
Like the sun suddenly rising in the dark night!
"real……?"
Luffy's voice was still trembling.
But this time, it wasn't because of pain, but because of an uncontrollable, extreme ecstasy and excitement!
"Really?!"
A smile finally appeared on Chen Ye's lips.
He knew it had worked.
"certainly."
His voice was calm yet full of power.
"As long as you nod."
"Then we can go back to the past, back to the battlefield of Marineford, and rescue him in front of the whole world!"
"I……"
Luffy opened his mouth, about to speak.
Tears, however, could no longer be held back, and gushed out of his eyes like a flood bursting its banks!
He cried.
This is the man who defeated Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, and whose victory shook the World Government.
This future Pirate King.
At this moment, she cried like a child.
But he didn't wipe it.
Let the scalding tears stream down my cheeks.
Because those were tears of joy!
They are tears of hope!
next second.
He suddenly raised his hand and slapped his face hard with the back of his hand!
The vulnerable expression on her face vanished instantly!
Instead, there is a resolute and insane force capable of burning everything to ashes!
"Wow!"
"Of course I'll go!"
Luffy's voice, filled with undisguised excitement and determination, echoed wildly above the ruins!
"If there really is a chance to save Ace..."
At this point, his voice suddenly stopped, and a deep, intense pain and self-reproach flashed in his burning eyes.
That was the deepest hatred for that weak version of myself from the past!
"I'm willing to do anything!"
"Because of me back then..."
Luffy suddenly raised his head and let out a furious roar of resentment that pierced through the clouds and shattered rocks!
"Too weak!!!"
That roar contained all his regret, pain, and ultimate desire for power over the past two years!
The roar subsided.
Luffy suddenly lowered his head, staring intently at Chen Ye.
He stretched out his hand and, in an unquestionable tone, made a vow to the sun god!
"take me!"
"No matter the cost!"
boom!!!
An indescribable, overwhelming aura erupted from Luffy's center!
That was no longer Conqueror's Haki, but a higher level of will originating from the depths of the soul!
This is Luffy's vow now!
Under the impact of this will, Zoro and Marco actually took a half step back, their faces filled with shock.
As they looked at the man before them, who seemed to be burning, a thought simultaneously arose in their minds.
What Four Emperors? What Pirate King...
Compared to the goal of "saving Ace", none of that matters!
For this goal, the man before me is willing to stand against the entire world without hesitation!
