Pirates: From Vice Captain to Lord of the Dead

"It's not over yet!"

--call out!

Luffy's arm snapped back, and he looked triumphantly into the smoke and dust, then he swung his hands behind him, waving his arms and leaving afterimages as he exploded again!

"Rubber Rubber Black Mamba!!"

Countless fists surged up like a swarm of snakes, and dark red arms kept stretching and changing directions in the air, crisscrossing to form an irregular large net!

boom! boom! boom!

Dense fists rushed into the smoke and dust, smashing down like a torrential rain, cracking the ground and splashing gravel.

Countless pirates were horrified by this brutal attack, but Luffy's expression became increasingly serious.

why?

There was no real feeling of my fist hitting Ace!?

Luffy's eyes darkened, a red light flashed in his eyes, and the scene in the smoke and dust at this moment appeared directly in his mind.

Ace was seen moving swiftly on tiptoe, and occasionally a heavy punch would go straight through his body, with sparks constantly appearing at the gap.

Obviously, he had anticipated the trajectory of his attack and had transformed parts of his body into elements in advance to avoid it.

"My Observation Haki is not inferior to mine. Has Ace also mastered the skill of foreseeing the future?" Luffy thought to himself.

"In this case!"

“Ah, da, da, da!!”

Luffy gritted his teeth and burst out with his extreme strength again.

The shadows of the arms could no longer be seen at the shoulders, and the number of punches thrown out doubled!

The arm suddenly burst out with an even more terrifying speed, and suddenly changed the direction of attack when it reached Ace's body.

"Rubber Hydra!!"

Fists circled around him continuously, and the outstretched arms surrounded him like a big net!

“Not only has the speed increased, but the attack trajectory has become more unpredictable.”

Ace's pupils shrank into needles and drifted rapidly, trying to chase the real body of the fists as much as possible.

Luffy's fist could hit him at any time, but Ace didn't make a move easily, for fear of being hit in the next second.

But even though his Observation Haki was fully activated, he gradually became unable to withstand the accelerating fist.

The punch can continue to accelerate and make this strange right-angle turn.

Can the properties of rubber really do this?

Gradually, the speed of Luffy's fists became so fast that even Luffy himself couldn't control it, let alone Ace.

Suddenly, a punch came at me unexpectedly.

Ace quickly put his arms together and raised them up, and a powerful blow directly twisted his hands!

boom! !

His body exploded backwards, and his bent legs plowed a hundred-foot gully on the ground until his back hit the mountain wall heavily!

"Pooh!"

Ace looked in pain and couldn't help spitting out blood.

"Hee hee hee"

Luffy succeeded in his move and retracted his fist. After a long and fierce fight, this punch finally inflicted substantial damage to the opponent!

The little bit of domineering energy that was left all flowed and concentrated in his fists. Luffy took a heavy step forward, with his left hand on his right arm to gather strength!

"The last blow, rubber rubber."

“Sky Flame Ring!!”

Ace gritted his teeth and roared, raising his right arm high and gushing out a fierce flame.

The pillar of fire shot straight into the sky!

It penetrated into the dark clouded sky and instantly spread out like an explosion, burning the dark clouds in the sky red!

Luffy's moves in snake form were too fast, and his attacks were too tricky and weird, forcing Ace to be wary.

And the way he cracked it was also very rough.

Before the opponent's fist accelerates to the point where you can no longer defend yourself, unleash your strongest force to defeat him!

The burning sky seemed to be pressing down, and the earth that had turned into a sea of fire was boiling directly.

A determination flashed in Ace's eyes, and the pillar of fire held high in his right hand began to shrink, condensing into a thousand-foot-long flaming blade emitting golden light.

All the way to heaven and earth!

Luffy stared and swallowed. The destructive aura contained in the pillar of fire that shot straight into the sky weighed heavily on everyone's heart.

"Rubber rubber!"

Luffy clenched his teeth and narrowed his pupils, then he punched out with his tightly compressed right fist, which contained all his strength and domineering power!

"Jet King Cobra!!"

boom!

boom!

boom!

The fist whistled with a sonic boom, breaking through the air and creating waves of air!

Ace's whole body suddenly exploded into flames, his eyes emitted two beams of fire, and he raised the ten-thousand-foot-long flaming sword and chopped it down fiercely with a loud shout!

“Heaven and Earth Are Destroyed: Sun Blade!!”

Stupid! !

A beam of light that pierced through the sky and earth flashed by, as if a giant flaming blade was about to split the entire island in two.

In an instant, it seemed as if the heaven and earth had fallen silent.

Earth.

Was split apart.

Chapter 278 Happy New Year!

The roar of the earth gradually stopped, and a lava crack extended from under Ace's feet, running through half of Thunder God Island.

All the mountains along the way were split in two, glowing with a burning red light.

“It should be over now.”

".After all, Ace even used this move."

"It actually got to this extent."

All the pirates surrounding the mountain held their breath, staring intently at the valley, not daring to move their eyes away for a moment. Instead, they became a little worried about Luffy.

Although when Dad was around, he and Roger would fight for days and nights every time, they were used to it.

But Luffy and Ace are brothers after all, and no one expected that they would fight so fiercely at the beginning.

After all, they were teammates fighting side by side two years ago. They were really afraid that Ace would beat Luffy to death directly.

Those who had seen the battle on Onigashima knew that this move was enough to severely injure Kaido and force him to retreat.

When Ace was in a desperate situation, he burst out with all his strength and used this level of moves twice in a row. He almost died of exhaustion.

Just now when Nami and Robin were fighting Yamato, Reiner was watching the battle and chatting with several pirates from the second division.

From their mouths, I also got a general idea of what the other group had experienced in the past two years, six months ago.

After the end of the summit, Ace fell into depression because of Whitebeard's death, and so did everyone else.

The outside world began to spread the rumor that the Whitebeard Pirates would fall apart, but when various forces began to fight and invade their territory.

Ace was the first to step forward, leading everyone to run across the sea to protect their territory.

For Ace, Whitebeard's life traces are his most precious treasures, and he will never allow anyone to infringe upon them.

At that time, everyone thought he had cheered up.

But only Marco knew that Ace was still living for Whitebeard, and he was always worried about it.

Half a year passed like this, and just when the situation in the New World had stabilized a little, they encountered a powerful enemy on an island.

Navy hero, Cap.

"If I had known that you were like a living dead now, I would have let you die on the battlefield."

At that time, Garp could see at a glance the confusion hidden deep in Ace's heart.

When the two sides were on the verge of a fight, Garp did not take any action.

"Since you've luckily managed to survive, go back and see her when you have time."

"Isn't it true that no one in this world cares about you two brats anymore?"

After leaving these two sentences, Karp took his men away.

Later, the other members continued to stay in New World.

Marco accompanied Ace to the East China Sea, back to where he grew up, the bandit home on Mount Korpo, and stayed there for a whole year before returning to the New World.

The others didn't know what happened to Ace during his time in the East China Sea. They only knew that after returning after a year, he seemed to have changed completely and become stronger.

But he seemed to have not changed. He was still as bold and carefree as before. He still made stupid mistakes as often as before and would suddenly fall asleep in the middle of a meal.

They couldn't describe the change, but they just felt that his aura was different.

Some old people on the ship said that they saw the shadows of both Roger and Whitebeard in Ace.

After returning to the New World, Ace suddenly said he wanted to go to Wano Country.

He promised a little girl that he would return one day to make sure everyone was well fed, and he also promised Yamato that he would take her out to sea one day.
