One Piece: Trying 200 times harder, but being too overbearing.

How perfect!

"Let's go find Fire Fist!"

Loya jumped off the deck and headed towards the island. Ace and the others were newcomers and lacked a permanent log pointer, so they wouldn't leave so soon.

Deep within the island, in a cave.

The Spade Pirates rested inside the cave.

Scoch's men were not so easy to deal with; many of them had sustained numerous injuries in previous battles.

The battle is not just the captain's business. If it were all up to the captain, what would be the point of their existence?

"hiss--"

Diuss bit his clothes, holding the dagger plunged into the wound in his shoulder, twisting it constantly, the intense pain causing his body to convulse.

"Ding!"

The bullet was dug out and fell to the ground.

The crew members immediately surrounded him, looking nervously at their first mate.

"Are you alright, Deus?"

"fine."

Diuss broke out in a cold sweat and grabbed a bottle of strong liquor to disinfect his wound.

"Well!"

Another muffled groan followed.

After gritting his teeth for a while, Deus breathed a sigh of relief, his face pale. The gun muzzle on his shoulder had been treated and bandaged.

He's a doctor, so he knows exactly what to do.

"Those guards have really powerful weapons!"

“It’s really scary.”

The crew members were still shaken.

Outside, a brand-new rifle would be considered a very good weapon, and many of the guards on this island are equipped with powerful firearms capable of continuous fire.

The previous battlefield was in the snow, with nowhere to hide.

Skal, who was in charge of intelligence, looked gloomy and said in a deep voice, "The Beasts Pirates are the largest weapons manufacturer in the underworld, so it's only natural that their subordinates possess advanced weapons!"

Each of the Four Emperors has its own unique characteristics.

"When we came here, didn't we see a lot of chimneys belching black smoke? Those must be weapons factories!"

"Probably."

Everyone felt heavy.

They didn't have Captain Ace's strength and worried that they would be a burden, making the journey ahead only more difficult.

Ace flashed a bright smile: "Don't worry, I'm here. No matter what crisis we encounter next, I will protect you!"

"Captain Ace."

Everyone was moved, but they also wanted to protect the captain.

Ace clapped his hands and said, "By the way, the Log Pose is almost full, right? Where's our next stop?"

"It's Wano Country!"

Scal took a deep breath: "That's the Beasts Pirates' headquarters, which means that Yonko Kaido is there!"

"Yonko!"

Ace's gaze suddenly intensified.

I'm finally going to see one of the Four Emperors.

He had long yearned to fight the Four Emperors!

"Captain Ace, something's wrong!"

Suddenly, the comrade who was keeping watch at the cave entrance ran in, looking anxious: "That black-haired major general is here!"

"what?"

Ace suddenly stood up.

He ran to such a secluded place, yet they still chased after him.

That damned Loya, does he really think he's easy to bully? If it comes down to a fight, he won't lose to that guy!

"You guys wait here for me, I'm going to chase that bastard away!"

Ignoring his subordinates' objections, Ace rushed out of the cave alone and soon saw Loya and his group in the snow.

"Yo, Ace."

Loya greeted him with a smile: "It must have been quite a hassle to find you. What's your decision? How about becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

"I do not want it!"

Ace angrily refused loudly.

"what a pity."

Loya shook his head regretfully, took off his coat and threw it at the adjutant next to him, then raised his fist and cracked his knuckles.

"Unfortunately, this is not up to you."

"Ace, let me tell you, you have to take this position of Shichibukai whether you want to or not!"

"I said!"

Chapter 149 Domineering and Domineering

Snow-capped mountain, at its foot.

Loya, shirtless, had a bulging, black, and shiny body enveloped in an aura of dominance, resembling a true steel monster.

"With your current level, you think you can challenge the Four Emperors?"

"How naive, Ace!"

The fist violently tore through the flames and slammed into Ace's abdomen, causing Ace to bend over and cough up blood, staining the snow red.

"Damn it!!!"

Ace transformed into flames and retreated, trying to create distance and regroup. He had no chance of winning a close-quarters battle with Loya.

But as soon as he regained his balance, Loya appeared in front of him and kicked him in the face with his right leg, sending him flying.

"boom!"

Large amounts of snowflakes rose into the air and fell.

This wasn't even a fight; it was a one-sided beating.

Loya's gaze was icy as he approached Ace, who was curled up on a snowdrift, and plunged his toe into Ace's abdomen!

"puff!"

Ace puffed out his cheeks and spat out another mouthful of blood.

Loya retracted his kicking foot, the tip of his shoe stained with blood.

Not far away, Ace's men were in tears, but smoke and black barriers had trapped them, and they had become prisoners.

All they could do was beg for mercy.

"Stop! Stop it now!"

"Captain Ace will die!"

"Please, don't kill the captain!"

Loya remained unmoved, grabbed Ace's hair with his right hand and lifted him up, while clenching his left hand's fingers one by one!

"Oh!"

The fist was deeply embedded in Ace's chest!

"Tick-tock~ Tick-tock~"

The pristine white snow was stained red with blood, resembling blooming plum blossoms.

Ace was limp, blood dripping down his cheeks, completely unable to resist, and could do nothing but gasp for breath.

Loya drew his pistol, but pointed it at Ace's men, and said coldly, "Look at you now, you can't even protect your own comrades."

"Stop, Loya!"

Ace's pupils contracted, and he raised his hand to grab Loya's wrist, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't stop Loya.

When he saw Loya pull the trigger and heard the click of the mechanism, the power hidden within his body suddenly erupted!

"Yameh!!!"
