The majestic fire tornado just now had disappeared without a trace.
The darkness surrounding Teach gradually dissipated. Through the diffuse smoke, he stared straight at the miserable Ace in the distance and spoke in a low voice:
"Ace...I've had enough of this battle. I'll give you one last chance."
As he spoke, Teach walked forward slowly, his right hand slowly raised.
In an instant, ink-black energy gathered in his palm. The black energy seemed to be given life and began to spin wildly.
The black vortex is like a small black hole, constantly swallowing up the surrounding light.
The energy spun faster and faster, the whistling sound of the wind rang in the ears, and finally condensed into a huge black sphere.
The sphere continued to expand, emitting a creepy aura, as if it was going to drag the entire world into endless darkness.
Ace felt the heavy pressure from Teach's hand, and his breathing became rapid.
He exhaled deeply, his chest heaving violently, trying to calm himself.
Finally, he raised his hand and pressed down the blood-stained hat on his head again, and said in a hoarse but firm voice:
"The last chance... Thank you so much, Tikki."
As soon as he finished speaking, countless circles of flames suddenly bloomed around Ace. Those flames were like blooming red lotuses, spreading in all directions with blazing light.
Then Ace also raised his right hand high. The originally scattered flames seemed to have heard the call and quickly shrank, all concentrating on his right hand.
In the blink of an eye, a huge fireball took shape in his hand, and the shining fireball was held in the air by Esto.
The fireball continued to grow larger, the flames inside rolled like boiling magma, and the pressure it emitted continued to increase!
At this moment, the fireball in Ace's hand and the dark sphere in Teach's hand formed a sharp and shocking contrast.
At this moment, Ace and Teach stood facing each other, one was surrounded by endless darkness, while the other was surrounded by blazing flames.
The energy in the hands of both men seemed to have reached its limit. The powerful pressure caused the surrounding air to solidify, and even the dust remained still in mid-air, which was chilling.
At the same time, the two of them slowly raised their heads and looked into each other's eyes. The moment their eyes met, it was as if an invisible electric current passed through them.
Then they roared at the same time and swung the huge energy balls in their hands towards each other.
"Great Flame Ring? Flame Emperor!"
"Big Dark Sky!!!"
Two huge energy balls collided violently in mid-air. Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and everything around fell into dead silence.
Then a slight sound of air exploding was heard quietly, like the last bit of calm before the storm.
Then a deafening and violent explosion instantly resounded through the heaven and earth, and the entire Paviro Island shook violently under the impact of this terrifying energy.
Huge cracks appeared on the ground, as if it would be torn into countless pieces at any time.
The sky was also divided into two completely different colors by these two powerful forces.
Half of it is blazing red, like a burning sea of blood; half of it is deep black, like an endless abyss.
"boom!!!"
The violent explosion shock wave tore everything around it madly.
The surrounding area within hundreds of meters was instantly reduced to ruins, the rocks were crushed into powder, no trace of life could survive, and the air was filled with pungent gunpowder smoke and burnt smell.
Finally, after the aftermath of the explosion gradually subsided, Teach's figure slowly emerged from the smoke and dust, with the pride and arrogance of a winner on his face.
Ace had completely fallen into a coma, lying quietly in the ruins, his face covered in endless blood, and his original appearance could no longer be recognized.
The distinctive white beard mark on his back was now torn apart, and there was not a single piece of intact skin on his entire back, making him look extremely miserable.
Teach slowly walked up to Ace, squatted down, reached out and grabbed Ace's hair, then lifted his head slightly.
Looking at Ace who had completely lost consciousness, Teach showed a smug smile on his face, and then laughed wildly.
"Haha, Ace! It seems that you... don't know what will happen next."
"Hahaha!"
Chapter 73: Ace is imprisoned, and Garp is lonely
"Bolubolu~Bolubolu~"
The Den Den Mushi ringtone suddenly rang in Sengoku's office at the Marine Headquarters.
Zhan Guo, who was processing documents, frowned slightly, put down the pen in his hand and reached out to pick up the Den Den Mushi.
The moment the Den Den Mushi was connected, Sengoku's stern face emerged clearly, "Hello, who is this?"
"Hahahaha! Marshal Sengoku, I'm Marshall D. Teach."
There was a burst of wild laughter from the other end of the phone.
"The traitor of the Whitebeard Pirates, Marshall D. Teach?"
Zhan Guo's eyes suddenly became sharp.
There was undisguised confusion in his voice, "Why do you have my contact information? And what does it mean to contact me?"
"Thief hahaha, don't worry about it, Marshal Zhan Guo."
Tiqi deliberately drawled out his tone, his voice full of mystery.
"I have a big deal to make with you, but... I'm afraid you alone are not enough. You also need to help me contact the World Government."
"Contact the World Government? What exactly is this about? Don't keep me in suspense, Marshall D. Teach!"
Zhan Guo's brows twisted into a
"Sichuan"
The voice unconsciously rose a few notches.
"Thief hahaha, don't worry, Marshal Sengoku. You should contact the World Government first."
"It's very simple. You just need to know that Roger's son is in my hands. Hahahaha, I'm waiting for your reply."
As soon as he finished speaking, Teach hung up the Den Den Mushi, not giving Sengoku any time to react.
Only the busy tone of the Den Den Mushi echoed in the silent office.
......
Three days later, the World Government and the Navy Headquarters sent out several notices to all corners of the world like snowflakes.
《Fire Fist Ace, Enter Impel Down!》
"Portgas D. Ace, Defeated and Captured!"
"The captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' second division was arrested and imprisoned!"
"Marshall D. Teach, invited to become a Shichibukai!"
......
Navy Headquarters, Marinford, Sengoku's office.
"boom!"
With a loud bang, the office door was violently pushed open, bringing up a strong gust of air.
Then Karp rushed in with an angry face, his eyes were bloodshot and the veins on his forehead were bulging.
As soon as he walked in front of Sengoku, Garp instantly stretched out his strong big hand and grabbed Sengoku's collar.
His voice became hoarse due to anger: "Zhan Guo... Why did I only know about this now..."
Garp paused for a moment, his chest heaving violently, as if he was trying hard to suppress the anger in his heart.
Finally, he couldn't help but roared: "Why did you hide it from me, Zhan Guo!!!"
Zhan Guo first gently slapped Garp's hand away, sighed helplessly, and his eyes revealed a trace of fatigue and helplessness:
"Garp... This is the arrangement of the World Government. No one has the power to stop it."
"Besides, what will it change if I tell you? Do you still want to rescue Fire Fist Ace?"
"He's a pirate!!! The captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' Second Division!" Sengoku's voice gradually became louder, with a hint of questioning in his tone.
"Besides, do you really think no one knows his true identity? How many people do you think you can hide from him?"
"And have you forgotten who you are? You are a marine! Garp!!!"
Zhan Guo became more and more excited as he spoke, and he slammed the table so hard that the documents on the table shook slightly.
When Garp heard Sengoku's roar, he froze in place for a moment, and the anger in his eyes was gradually replaced by loss and confusion.
He lowered his head and clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force.
After a long time, Garp finally slowly loosened his fist and looked up at Sengoku.
At this moment, Garp's eyes were full of vicissitudes and helplessness, and he murmured: "Yes... I am a navy, and he is a pirate..."
Then Karp said nothing more, silently smoothed his cloak behind him, and walked out of the office with heavy steps.
His back looked extremely lonely and his aura seemed to have aged a little. At this moment, the traces of time were once again ruthlessly engraved on his body.
Sengoku looked at Garp's departing back, feeling mixed emotions and a myriad of thoughts flooding his mind.
He knew that some things were like the wheel of fate, and once it started, no one could stop it.
Even though he was full of helplessness and reluctance in his heart, he was also swept up in this huge system and had no choice.
Just as Zhan Guo was suppressing the turmoil in his heart and reorganizing the messy documents on the table, a familiar figure walked in gently.
"He, what's wrong?"
Zhan Guo's voice was low, a little tired and hoarse.
He shook his head slightly, his eyes full of concern, and said softly: "Zhan Guo, Garp was impulsive just now, don't take it to heart."
Zhan Guo sighed, his eyes showing understanding and tolerance: "Ah... I can understand Garp, but if it were me, how could I remain calm?"
He frowned slightly, then asked, "Sengoku, how will the World Government arrange for Ace the Fire Fist?"
Zhan Guo slowly shook his head, his expression solemn, a trace of worry flashed in his eyes: "I don't know yet, but in my opinion, it may be the worst situation."
