I Will Protect You As Cora-San Did For Us

Chapter 38: Fire Fist Ace Dies On The Battlefield.

Akainu pulled out his hand from ace chest.

Ace: Try to keep standing. He coughed up blood.

Luffy: Eyes widen. "Ace!" He managed to catch ace before he falls.

Jimbei: Shocked. "Ace-san..."

Miyuki: Steadying ace head on luffy's shoulder.

Marco: Eyes widen. "ACE!"

Shirohige: Turned around and seeing ace got hurt he's getting angry.

The other pirate consumed with rage charged toward akainu.

"Stop akainu!!!"

They began shooting at him. Explosion can be heard everywhere.

Miyuki: Put her left hand on his back. "Ace-san... This is not... What I wanted to happen." Gritted her teeth.

Akainu is unscathed by the attack and he stand behind ace towering the three of them.

Luffy: Eyes widen.

Miyuki: Hold ace tighter and glared at akainu.

Akainu: Disgusted. "Seems there's still some life left in you, fire fist ace."

Ace: Groaning in pain.

Akainu: Raised his right hand to deliver the final blow.

Luffy: "Stop it... Stop it!!!"

Miyuki: Raised her sword to defend. (Without haki I can't even block his power. I can't do anything to help everyone!!!)

Shirohige: Angry. "Ace!" He's about to use his power but was stopped by kizaru shooting his light on his hand.

As akainu getting closer someone immediately come and blocked his attack.

Luffy: "Jinbe!!!"

Miyuki: "Jinbe-san!!! Stop you're going to get burned!"

Jinbe: "I will not let you... Hurt him any more!"

Akainu: "Quit the pointless stalling, jinbe! You are a former shichibukai. I'm sure you know how strong I am!"

Jinbe: "If letting my body burn away will buy us some time, then I don't mind! I've already accepted my death!"

They stepped away from each other.

Jinbe: Panting. His hands are scorched.

Miyuki: "Jinbe-san!" Get up and hold jinbe.

Jinbe: "I'm okay miyuki-kun. Don't worry." Groan.

Akainu: "So I need to punish you too, traitor..." He raise his hand one more time.

Jinbe: Frown.

Then someone shouts. "Jinbe, ace little sister! Get down!"

Both of them immediately get down. Marco and vista slashed through akainu.

Marco: Turned around and frown.

Akainu: "So annoying!" He turned around to face them. "You're haki-users?"

Marco: "How can this be?!"

Miyuki: Turned around and saw ace started to get weaker. She quickly go to him.

Vista: "How shameful... We failed to stop him!"

Akainu: "Can't you see that it's too late for fire fist? Take a good look."

Luffy: Hold ace tightly to him. "Ace... Hey? Can you hear me? You'll be fine, right?" He raise his hand and saw ace blood on it.
