Pirate King: I'm determined to be the King of Sons-in-Law!

Chapter 145 Flame-Flame Fruit, Dog

Myster Island, Northern Wilderness.

The Spade Pirates members lay hidden behind a small mound, spying on the distant battlefield where their captain was confronting the Marines.

"Hey, this is bad!"

"It's that famous black-haired major general!"

"Don't worry, Captain Ace is very strong!"

This year's new pirates, as long as they have even a little bit of inside information, will know that the first hurdle they face in entering the New World is the Marine Rear Admiral codenamed "Black Hair".

They had heard of Black Hair's reputation back in Sabaody.

Rumor has it that more than half of the newcomers entering the New World are killed by Black-haired, and many pirates call him the "newcomer killer"!

And it's not just black hair.

The pirates looked to the other side of the battlefield, where the Navy was gathering, including many renowned and powerful figures.

The situation is quite bad!

In the center of the battlefield.

Ace's fist and palm collided, and his smile was unusually confident. Since he set sail, he had become more than ten times stronger!

"Loya, you'd better watch out!"

"bring it on."

Loya smiled and put his hands in his pockets.

"Damn it, how dare they underestimate me!"

Ace was somewhat annoyed. He pushed off with both legs and rushed towards Loya. Instead of using his abilities, he chose to fight with his fists and feet.

Just like back then.

He didn't want to take advantage of Loya.

"Take this!"

A fist swept past Loya's ear!

Loya tilted his head slightly, easily dodging Ace's fist, and then kicked Ace in the stomach.

"Bang!"

A muffled thud!

Ace clutched his stomach, his body hunched in pain, and staggered back several steps, almost vomiting up the spaghetti he had just eaten.

Loya was somewhat disappointed and said indifferently, "Ace, it's been a year, and your physical skills haven't improved much."

"hateful!"

Ace looked up, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

In that instant, he didn't see Loya's kick clearly. Although he hadn't used his full strength, he shouldn't have been hit so easily.

He won't be careless again!

"Loya!"

Ace charged toward Loya again, his entire body on high alert, his eyes fixed on Loya's every move.

Go all out!

The speed of his punches had increased significantly compared to before.

"That's more like it."

Loya kept his hands in his pockets, his body swaying with minimal movement, easily dodging Ace's punches and kicks, without even needing to draw a paper picture.

He could see Ace's every move clearly.

Lift your leg!

"Bang!"

The knee blocked Ace's fist!

Ace felt a slight pain in his fist; the sensation of the blow was not like that of a human body, but more like hitting steel.

Similar situations have occurred before.

Ace smirked, "That's tough. I think this move is called Iron Body?"

No, you're overthinking it.

Loya frowned; he simply raised his leg to block.

Isn't it normal for legs to be harder than iron?

During their brief, tentative exchange, he could sense that Ace's physical abilities had improved only slightly compared to before.

This kid must have become lax in his physical training after eating the Flame-Flame Fruit.

In the first half of the sea, Logia-type Devil Fruit users can indeed kill indiscriminately, which can easily mislead them and make them focus on developing their abilities.

Especially someone like Ace, who was raised in a free-range environment, was more likely to go astray.

But in the new world, powerful and domineering individuals are as numerous as fish crossing a river, and relying on the fruit will inevitably lead to a severe lesson.

Loya shook his head and kicked upwards with his right leg, which was braced against Ace's fist!

A strong sense of crisis made Ace instinctively raise his head, followed by a strong gust of wind sweeping across his cheek.

A line of blood appeared on his face.

Ace quickly jumped back to create distance, raised his hand to touch his face, and looked at the bloodstains on his fingertips, feeling horrified.

I dodged the kick, but I still got injured.

Loya has become so strong!

"Now is not the time to be distracted!"

Hearing the reprimand, Ace quickly looked up, only to find that Loya, who should have been directly in front of him, was nowhere to be seen.

"shave!"

In a flash, Loya appeared before him as if teleported, and swept his right foot across the face!

"Bang!"

Time seemed to slow down; Ace's entire face was trembling violently, and two of his molars popped out.

Immediately afterwards, his body flew out.

"boom!"

Smoke and dust billowed up!

"Captain Ace!"

The group of friends below the earthen slope were extremely anxious.

"That black-haired guy is ridiculously strong!"

"Captain Ace is completely overwhelmed!"

"Use your abilities now, Captain Ace!"

Only by using the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit can the situation be turned around. As partners, they have no doubt about the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit.

On the other side, the naval camp.

Smoker and the others were watching the battle.

Seeing Ace's performance, everyone frowned.

"Fire Fist Ace isn't as strong as I thought."

"Don't underestimate him. As a newcomer, his performance is already outstanding, and his movements are quite good."

"Keep watching. That guy is a Logia-type Devil Fruit user; he hasn't shown his true strength yet."

Judging solely from Ace's physical skills, they weren't particularly impressive; they showed obvious signs of being unorthodox. Smoker and Tina were both confident they could suppress Ace.

But his advantage lies in his quick reflexes and seemingly solid physical attributes; moreover, the nickname "Fire Fist" doesn't come from his martial arts skills.

Natural type, naturally powerful.

Less than ten minutes into the battle, Ace collapsed to his knees, panting heavily.

"Damn it, we can't beat them at all!"

Back in the days at Mount Colbo, he and Loya were evenly matched, but now Loya's physical skills completely overwhelmed him.

Throughout the fight, Loya hadn't even taken his hands out of his pockets, using only his kicking skills to render Loya powerless to retaliate.

This guy is a monster!

Originally, he didn't want to use his abilities to take advantage of Loya, but now it seems he was too naive.

Loya was different from him. The other party had no special abilities to protect himself and specialized in physical skills, so it was only natural that he could suppress him.

Ace got up, his whole body bursting into flames.

"Loya, I'm getting serious!"

"."

Loya shook his head with amusement and pulled his hands out of his pockets.

The environment affects a person's growth rate. The reason why the first half of the sea area is called a paradise is because it is too comfortable.

He believed that once Ace arrived in the New World, his strength would surely double in a short time, and he might even catch up with him.

But Ace is too inexperienced right now!

Loya slowly pulled out the Rain Cutter.

"I'll give you three minutes!"

"."

Ace leaped into the air, his fists engulfed in blazing flames!

"Fire Fist!"

The raging flames rushed towards you, an attack with a huge area of ​​effect. The flames spread and exploded after landing, making it difficult to dodge even with "Shave".

The power of the Natural System is on full display.

Loya watched the flames approach, his hair curling from the intense heat.

Although it was once joked that even dogs wouldn't eat the Flame-Flame Fruit, in reality, this fruit is definitely a top-tier ability.

A sharp glint of light flashed and disappeared!

"Flame Slash!"

The enormous flame split in two and flew past Loya on either side.

"boom!!!"

A dazzling burst of fire exploded behind us!

Amidst the swirling flames, their eyes met once more.

Ace's pupils contracted.

"The fire has been cleaved!"
