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

"boom!!!"

A terrifying aura swept out, overturning countless snowflakes!

"boom!"

The gunshots echoed through the air, but no one was hit.

The Spade Pirates members, who had been imprisoned, all collapsed onto the snow. Just a moment ago, the smoke and black barriers that had bound them had gone out of control.

"Overlord's aura!"

Smoker and Tina stared in horror at Ace, who was being carried by Loa, unable to believe that the power they had just felt came from him.

Will not admit mistakes.

This is absolutely one in a million Conqueror's Haki; "Fire Fist" Ace has been hiding such terrifying power!

"Well done."

Loya looked at the unconscious Ace, released his grip, and smiled.

That's more like it!

He fired the gun just now to provoke Ace, not to actually kill him. However, if Ace doesn't show any reaction, he might really lose his subordinate.

This kid has had a smooth journey with very few setbacks, and the power within him is completely dormant.

We need to wake him up!

"Captain Ace!"

The Spade Pirates rushed over, nervously shielding Ace behind them.

Loya said calmly, "I'll give you a few more days to think it over. Next time we meet, I won't be as gentle as I am now."

"."

gentle?

The Spade Pirates stared blankly.

You almost killed Captain Ace, how can you call that gentleness!

Looking at the expressions on Ace's subordinates' faces, Loya shook his head slightly. Not killing Ace was already being gentle enough.

Being a pirate is no child's play!

"let's go."

Ace is stubborn. After a few more lessons, he should behave himself. He has plenty of time to teach this brat a lesson.

Tina caught up with Loya, her gaze serious.

"Major General Loya, Fire Fist, he..."

"I know."

Loya stopped Tina from asking further questions and commanded, "Nothing happened today, understand?"

"."

Tina remained silent for a while.

"Tina understands!"

Although she didn't understand why Loya wanted to hide Ace's Conqueror's Haki, she quite liked being in Squad 11 after following Loya for so long.

As long as "Fire Fist" Ace doesn't pose a threat to the Navy, she doesn't mind obeying Loya's orders and temporarily forgetting what happened today.

Loya nodded slightly.

This woman is much more obedient than before.

"Let's go."

"Yes!"

Loya's thoughts drifted away.

Normally, the two to three years after a rookie pirate enters the New World is the period of explosive growth in strength.

Over the next two or three years, they will face setbacks time and time again, then come to terms with reality, and ultimately either join the ranks of the Four Emperors or force themselves to grow to a level where they can rival them.

But Ace didn't make much progress.

Loya vaguely remembered Ace during the Marineford War. Apart from his abilities, his physical skills and Haki were mediocre, and he couldn't even use the most important Conqueror's Haki.

He needs a stronger Ace, someone who is proficient in all three types of Haki, and even capable of binding Conqueror's Haki, so that he can become his reliable ally!

On the other side, the weapons factory.

The warriors of the Beasts Pirates appeared, but were met with a powerful attack. The laborers, who were originally weak, suddenly found themselves with strong support.

The team leader angrily demanded, "Who exactly are you people?!"

"Hehehe, is that even a question?"

Barto grinned maliciously and unhesitatingly shifted the blame onto Ace: "Listen carefully, we are subordinates of that Fire Fist Ace. It won't be long before our boss Ace takes Kaido's head!"

"It's really you!"

There is no doubt that it's a real fight.

The message they received was that Fire Fist Ace had arrived on Winter Bear Island and defeated the guardian "Iron Boy" Scout.

Moreover, the group in front of them, whether in their clothing, fighting style, or even their greedy behavior of stealing weapons and ammunition, all exhibited the characteristics of pirates.

No, they're even worse than ordinary pirates!

It absolutely cannot be a fake!

"That damned Fire Fist Ace, we absolutely cannot let him get away with this!"

"Retreat for now!!!"

The Beast Warriors fled Winter Bear Island in a sorry state.

Without high-ranking officials in charge, they alone could not suppress the rebellion, especially since the laborers had the powerful "Fire Fist" Ace behind them.

The revolution on the island has succeeded!

"Men, take the weapons back!"

"Oh oh oh!"

Ignoring the laborers who came to thank them for their support, Barto excitedly led his men into the weapons warehouse.

As evening fell, Barto and his men returned home pushing several wagons fully loaded with weapons and ammunition—enough to launch a large-scale war.

On the other side, the Spade Pirates' ships.

On the hospital bed, Ace opened his eyes.

The injuries haven't healed yet, and my whole body aches terribly.

Ace, enduring the pain, leaned against the wall and walked out of the room. He saw his stunned companions and gasped for breath.

"Set sail immediately for Wano Country!"

He couldn't possibly be content without seeing the Four Emperors!

He must become stronger, stronger than everyone else!

Chapter 150 The Country of Wano

Early the next morning.

As soon as Loya arrived on the deck, Lu Yun approached him: "Senior, the Spade Pirates set off last night. Judging from their route, their next destination is Wano Country."

"Wano Country."

Loya sighed silently.

They really know how to cause trouble.

The Log Pose has three routes, allowing you to avoid the dangerous Wano Country even if you start from Fuyukuma Island.

Does that kid have to get his head bruised and bloodied before he'll become more mature?

Come to think of it, Ace did indeed visit Wano Country before joining the Whitebeard Pirates, and even fought with Kaido's daughter, Yamato.

Loya's heart skipped a beat.

Where is Kaido?

"According to headquarters intelligence, Kaido is leading a large army on an expedition, and the Wano Country headquarters should currently be under air defense."

"Alright, head to Wano Country immediately!"

"Yes!"

Loya walked to the edge of the deck, looking at the boundless sea, silently planning his next move.

When Barto returned yesterday, he noticed something was amiss. Normally, the Beasts wouldn't send only some weaklings to provide support.

This confirms the intelligence is accurate; Kaido is indeed on an expedition, and he has brought all his officers with him. Currently, Onigashima is likely undefended.
