I have the Flame-Flame Fruit, I'm invincible!

*Whoosh whoosh whoosh.* The Japanese bear turned its head.

To everyone's surprise, Ace and his two companions displayed incredible power, beating their own subordinates to a pulp.

Even the weakest Luffy could fight a bandit to a standstill.

They punched each other, one after the other.

Ultimately, Luffy won thanks to the durability of his Nika Fruit.

"I won!" Luffy shouted, despite his bruised and swollen face.

"Huh?" Luffy exclaimed in surprise.

With a swish, a large number of bandits had already fallen.

"Luffy, you're too slow." Sabo gave a thumbs up.

“(ˉ▽￣～)” Luffy.

The Japanese bear was enraged.

"You're all trash, you're such useless people."

Higuma drew his sword.

"But it doesn't matter, I'm a bandit worth 800 million, dealing with you is a piece of cake for me..."

Dick was speechless. This word...doesn't it sound familiar?

One kick.

Ri Xiong bent down, but still hadn't finished speaking.

Gouge out their eyes, and behead a dragon.

The head flew high into the air.

The legend of the Mountain Bandit King has come to an end.

Chapter 27 The Third Divine Fire: Soul Fire

……

"what are you doing?"

Dick stared silently at the spider in the tree, a chilling feeling washing over him.

The pale white flames were terrifying to behold.

Sabo stared at the pale white flames, his brow twitching.

Because of the flames, burning in Dick's eyes.

Sabo had a premonition that this flame was terrifying.

The terrifying Sabo wanted to escape immediately.

At the same time, a name that sent chills down my spine came to mind.

“Ah, let’s train our abilities again,” Dick said, extinguishing the flames.

“That flame is from the Divine Fire Ranking…” Sabo hesitated before continuing.

"Ah, yes, the Soulfire ranked 12th."

The most dangerous flame, the soul flame, a flame that can burn the soul.

Dick awakens the third flame.

The fire of the soul.

The Soul Fire I currently possess is still at its most basic level.

It burns the soul, is a special attack on the spirit and will, and annihilates the soul. It is more difficult to defend against and more difficult to recover from.

Its aggressiveness and danger far surpass those of ordinary flames.

Dick's fire damage increased dramatically in an instant.

It also has a similar intimidating effect to Conqueror's Haki—soul pressure.

People with weak souls would tremble uncontrollably or even faint simply from looking at Dick.

Huh? Doesn't it look a bit like that old codger Satan's fierce eyes?

That's all.

It's not that Dick lacks imagination; it's just that the current Flame-Flame Fruit ability is insufficient, and many of the anticipated states simply don't exist.

For example, can Soulfire only be used for attacking?

In what appears to be Western fantasy novels, the core of the undead race is the fire of the soul.

The fire of the soul burns, and the dead live on.

The fire of the soul is extinguished, and the dead die.

It can be said that in Dick's vision, the Soul Fire is an extremely special kind of flame, which should contain its own consciousness, or even be a kind of alternative life.

However, this monkey version is naturally not available now.

Or rather, given the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit, creating a monkey version would be the normal occurrence.

The more extraordinary the genuine product, the more likely the one that can awaken its powers is the "beggar's version." Even the most basic version of the beggar's version.

Flame-Flame Fruit: I tried my best ::>_< ::

Dick: It's okay, you've done a great job, far exceeding my expectations.

Flame-Flame Fruit: (uu)

The rudimentary Soul Fire directly attacks the soul, possessing extremely high destructive power and danger.

Of course, all the masters in the One Piece world have unwavering willpower. Haki is the power of willpower, their souls are strong, and their recovery ability is extremely incredible.

Injuries that shatter all the bones in one's body can heal completely in just a few days. Some are abnormal, like Luffy, who can recover from injuries and regain his strength by eating or even drinking milk.

He exuded an aura of dominance and wore a layer of armor to defend against all attacks.

Therefore, although the Soul Fire is powerful, it is not invincible against top-tier experts.

Just look at the old lady's Soul-Soul Fruit and you'll know.

The Soul-Soul Fruit is basically useless to top-tier experts.

It's true that some older women waste Soul Fruits without ever considering the possibility of soul attacks.

However, ordinary soul attacks are probably not very noticeable to those top experts.

After all, domineering spirit is the power of will.

The stronger one's domineering aura, the stronger one's will, and the stronger one's soul. The presence and outward projection of domineering aura further armors the body and soul.

The only soul attack revealed by the aunt in the original work seems to be the soul incantation, "life or die," which sounds incredibly powerful, but in reality... (*￣rǒ￣)

Jinbe said that as long as you're not afraid, it's completely useless.

If it were a shipping magnate, they probably would have just charged straight in.

Dick valued several other abilities of the Soul Flame.

It's something that the older woman never thought of developing, or rather, she didn't have the imagination to do it.

Soul control is a classic element in fantasy cultivation novels.

Since the Soul Fire can attack and annihilate souls, can it be controlled?

Even though mine is a knock-off, I can still give it a try.

Then, failure, failure, and more failure.

The Soul Flame is not the Soul-Soul Fruit after all.

It leans more towards attack and lacks the ability to control souls.

Dick was still unwilling to give up.

After thinking it over and over, I actually had some inspiration.

For example, in the Jin-style martial arts novels, the Life and Death Talisman replaces ice shards and internal energy with soul fire; and soul burning replaces unbearable itching all over the body.

Or like the Pet-Pet Fruit in the anime, it activates when someone disobeys.

The more Dick thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.

When attacking the soul, the soul fire does not annihilate the soul, but preserves it, attaching itself to the depths of the target's soul, waiting for the master to activate it at any time. Life and death are in the master's hands. Isn't this a form of soul control?

Dick was practicing his soul manipulation abilities using the Soul Fire.

First, it used the Soul Fire to burn and attack the spider's soul, causing the spider to release its consciousness; then it separated the Soul Fire to plant a mark deep within the spider's soul.

At this point, soul control was successful.

Dick practiced for three whole months to prepare for this move.
