I'm a villain in the movies and TV series "All Heavens".

Chapter 260 Has Doflamingo gone mad?

He sensed that the sea stone handcuffs that had been suppressing his Devil Fruit abilities had fallen.

Kneeling on the ground, Ace finally felt the long-lost power within him rapidly returning.

Looking down at the execution platform, at his fellow pirates who had died tragically trying to save him.

At this moment, Ace, who was filled with deep self-blame, unleashed his most powerful killing move the moment he was freed.

"Great Flame Ring, Flame Emperor!"

A huge sphere of flame suddenly formed and burst forth from his body.

In an instant, everyone within a radius of several dozen meters from the execution platform, including Mo Fei and Bucky, was engulfed in flames.

It must be said that Ace's control over the Flame-Flame Fruit was truly exquisite.

The Shadow Knight clone, enveloped in flames, did not feel any burning sensation.

But the massive wave of fire blew off the hats that Mo Fei and Bucky had used for disguise.

When Ace saw that the person who came to save him was none other than Mo Fei, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he even doubted himself, wondering if he was hallucinating.

"Are you surprised or surprised?"

Was it a joking question? Ace nodded subconsciously, then asked, still somewhat incredulously:

"Aren't you a Shichibukai? You just beat up Luffy, so why are you helping me?"

However, Mo Fei did not answer his question at this moment.

Instead, they turned their attention to the boy in the yellow shirt and orange pants in the distance.

……

As Luffy watched the raging flames suddenly engulf the entire execution platform and surrounding area, his already extremely tense mental state immediately relaxed.

Correspondingly, the hidden power within him that was about to be triggered and erupted.

As his will weakened, he re-entered a state of dormancy, waiting for the next opportunity to be triggered.

Mo Fei was overjoyed to see that Luffy had failed to unleash his Conqueror's Haki.

Sure enough, without the shock of Ace's impending death, Luffy's awakening of Conqueror's Haki will probably have to wait a while.

……

The war taking place in Marineford was being broadcast live around the world.

If Luffy were to unleash his Conqueror's Haki at this moment, it would undoubtedly solidify his status as a king.

His luck will also see a significant increase, which will naturally be a great disadvantage for him as the villain.

In the past, he might have been able to overcome challenges with sheer strength. But the high-level combat power of the pirate world makes it much harder for him to do that anymore.

According to his observation, his current strength is probably at the top level of pirates.

With some special abilities and items, one might have a slight advantage, but that's far from enough to sweep through the pirate world.

Not to mention hidden bosses like Kaido, Big Mom, Garp, and Dragon, even if all three admirals attacked him at the same time, he would probably be in serious trouble.

Most importantly, before he learned Armament Haki, he really lacked the means to counter Logia-type Devil Fruit users.

However, he is not without advantages. Seastone, the nemesis of all Devil Fruits, has no effect on him.

This will also be an aid to him in fighting against high-level pirates.

"Hey! Even though you saved me, can you please stop being so rude? I'm asking you a question."

Always proud and arrogant, Ace, seeing that Mo Fei completely ignored his question, felt his pride surge and turned to question Mo Fei's unreasonable behavior. Looking at this super-popular character who had died because of his willfulness, Mo Fei smiled knowingly, then said with a hint of mockery:

"The reason I saved you? Just think of it as me being in a good mood, after all, I'm a very kind person."

After saying that, Mo Fei grabbed the stunned Buggy next to him. Under Sengoku's questioning and Ace's astonished gaze.

Suddenly it soared into the sky and vanished instantly into the battlefield filled with the power of various elements.

Sengoku, who had just transformed, saw that Mo Fei completely ignored his rebuke. He could only give up for the time being and instead looked at Ace with a serious expression.

As a skilled fighter who was invited by the Navy to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea several years ago.

A while ago, Ace was even able to fight Jinbe to a standstill with his Flame-Flame Fruit ability. Ace's strength is at least at the level of a quasi-Admiral.

As a user of the Great Buddha Fruit, Sengoku is a rare Mythical Zoan type, but having been out of battle for a long time, he wasn't really confident in capturing Ace, a Logia type.

At this moment, Aokiji is fighting against Diamond Man, Kizaru is facing Marco, and Akainu is going head-to-head with Whitebeard.

The Navy's top combat force was almost entirely tied up with the Whitebeard Pirates.

Now that Ace has escaped, only Marshal Ace is capable of dealing with him.

However, after Ace was rescued, the pirates clearly had no reason to continue fighting the Navy here.

Immediately under Whitebeard's command, they quickly retreated, much to the dismay of the schemers hiding in the shadows.

"Blackbeard, Ace has been rescued by Doflamingo."

The Whitebeard Pirates are still in good shape; if you don't act soon, they'll all escape.

Shiryu of the Rain, as the former warden of Impel Down, reached an agreement with Blackbeard.

He then joined forces with several other Level 6 criminals who had been rescued, and together with Blackbeard, they went to Marineford to pick up bargains.

Their plan was to take advantage of the moment when both sides were exhausted, so that Blackbeard could take action, absorb Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and become an extremely powerful pirate king.

However, due to Mo Fei's reasons, both the Navy and the pirates still maintain considerable combat strength.

If they were to enter the fray now, even if they ultimately achieve their goal, the price they pay would likely far exceed their initial expectations.

"Damn it, has Doflamingo gone mad? Why is he going to save Ace?"

Blackbeard cursed angrily, but he could only lead his men to quickly detour and head towards the outer coast of Marineford.

……

After escaping his predicament, Ace, filled with doubts, had no interest in getting entangled with Sengoku.

He immediately used the Flame-Flame Fruit to clear a path, charging all the way to the battlefield where Whitebeard and Akainu were fighting.

“My father’s health was already very poor, and now he has been ambushed and injured. If I don’t come to his aid, he might really collapse here in Marineford today.”

While observing the situation, Ace quickly broke through towards Whitebeard's direction.

Along the way, the Navy tried to stop him, but Ace's powerful Flame-Flame Fruit made him like a tiger descending a mountain, quickly breaking through all the obstacles set up by the Navy.

At this time, Whitebeard was not yet at his limit. Even though he was severely injured, he was still beating Akainu relentlessly.

Ace's arrival made Akainu realize that the assassination plan had completely failed, and he could only choose to retreat temporarily and look for another opportunity to fight, feeling unwilling to accept it.

"Dad!"

"Ace!"

Upon seeing each other again, the two immediately shared a warm embrace, like father and son.
