The Great Voyage: The Props Master on the Straw Hat Ship

"This is really..."

Looking at the crimson clouds on the horizon, Link said softly, "There's nothing better than fireworks to celebrate the end of this war."

Under his powerful Observation Haki, the life force of the four people rapidly dissipated.

"Let's add one last fire."

Link slowly raised his other hand.

"Lightning Flash!!"

A blinding, extreme flash of lightning ripped through the sky, tearing the heavens apart!

boom! ! !

~~~~~~~~~

"So, Whitebeard was just a loser from the previous era, nothing special at all!!"

Inside the harbor, thick black smoke billowed from Akainu's arm, and crimson lava rolled down, dripping onto the ground.

"You bunch of lowly pirates, under the protection of that loser, have absolutely no reason to live!!"

Akainu smirked as he looked at the furious Ace before him.

"Shut up!!!"

"If Whitebeard were to retire as a loser and hand over the stage to you, it would truly suit his role as a lousy manager!!"

"Whitebeard was a great pirate who created this era!!"

Ace was enveloped in raging flames, with the hottest burst of fire erupting from his fist.

"This era is called Whitebeard!!!"

A fist of flame erupted forth, while the already prepared magma surged across the earth at that moment, clashing head-on with the scorching fiery fist!

boom! ! !

The raging flames clashed with the rolling lava, two forces of absolute heat colliding.

"That's... flames?!"

Luffy, who was engaged in a fierce battle with two vice admirals, saw this scene, and his pupils reflected the fiery light.

Something seemed to be brewing in his eyes.

Ace's flames and Akainu's magma both originally belonged to the category of fire.

However~~

Ultimately, even the raging flames could not withstand the lava.

Amidst the violent explosion, Ace's figure was sent flying backwards.

"how come……"

Looking at his burned arms and fists, Ace gritted his teeth and stood up again.

"Even among Logia-type Devil Fruits, there are hierarchical levels."

Sakazuki's face was constantly covered in lava, leaving only his iron-blooded eyes visible.

"You are just ordinary flames, while I am magma that can burn even flames to ashes."

"There's no comparison between you and me."

With that, Akainu raised his arm high again, shouting, "Dog bites Crimson Lotus!!"

"Sacred Fire Shiranui!!"

The towering pillar of fire rushed toward the enormous black and red hellhound, but the moment it made contact, the pillar of fire was torn to shreds by the hellhound's claws and teeth.

The scalding lava poured onto Ace, causing extensive burns to his body.

"Ace!!!"

Luffy and Sabo, who were with the other four vice admirals, also changed their expressions upon seeing this.

"Rubber rubber, King Ape Crow Cannon!!"

Luffy activated Gear Fourth mode once again, his arms immediately retracting and firing rapidly towards Akainu like a machine gun!

The black and red electric arcs wrapped around it also exploded in the air.

At the same time, what was brewing in his dark eyes grew brighter and brighter!

However~

"Bang bang bang!!"

Two figures blocked Luffy's path one after another, using their weapons and their own flesh and blood to withstand Luffy's swarm of crow cannons.

"I won't let you..."

Jonathan and Stroberry coughed up blood. Even though they managed to block Luffy's attack with their bodies, they were still injured in their lungs by Luffy's Conqueror's Haki.

"Go and influence Sakazuki!!"

But their gazes remained resolute and unwavering as they continued to intercept them.

Now, the only chance to execute [Fire Fist] Ace is for Akainu to kill him!

"Don't even think about stopping me!!"

Beside them, Fire Mountain and Flying Squirrel were also fighting desperately, basically abandoning their defenses against Sabo's attacks, just to stop him!

This final battlefield within the harbor was left to Akainu and Ace!

"Roger conquered the Grand Line, ushered in the Great Pirate Era with his life, and truly deserved the title of Pirate King!!"

"And what about Whitebeard, who lived in the same era as him?! Despite possessing strength no less than Roger's 790, he ultimately spent his days indulging in playing pirate house with his sons!!"

"Judging from his behavior, he will never be as good as Roger, and will always be considered a loser!!"

Sakazuki was unleashing his full power there, both mentally and physically, to completely trap Ace there!

"A guy like you has no right to judge his father!"

Blood trickled from the corner of Ace's mouth, but his eyes were still filled with the blind rage of his stare at Akainu.

They had no idea that they had been set up by the other party, and that they had already fallen into a trap.

“Isn’t it?!”

Akainu took a step forward, and the ground collapsed, with endless magma churning out from beneath his feet and enveloping the battlefield.

Meanwhile, other areas on the battlefield also sensed the commotion and turned their attention in that direction.

"Akainu, and Brother Ace..."

Jinbe, who had defeated Moria with a punch that struck with five thousand tiles, felt the temperature emanating from the other side and his expression changed slightly.

Although he knew Ace was strong, he was still far weaker than an Admiral!

"Is this the final, crucial moment...?"

He casually slashed down a pirate who hadn't left, and with a flick of his black sword, Night, he scattered the blood droplets.

Hawkeye gazed at the scene in the distance, lost in thought.

"Fufufufufu, the final outcome of this war..."

Doflamingo grinned maliciously, waiting for the final show to begin.

The expressionless bear continued its battle with Ivankov, while the pacifists and Momonosuke were also fighting fiercely with Shiki's subordinates and the ferocious beasts.

"Luffy, Ace!!"

Seeing this, the Straw Hat Pirates members quickly dealt with the various miscellaneous opponents in front of them and headed towards this place to reunite with their goofy captain.

"That's enough!!"

The senses transmitted back by Akainu's Observation Haki caused his expression to suddenly turn serious.

~~~~~~~~~

Thank you all for your support! Here's an extra chapter for today. Thank you!!

386 The crucial [transfer]!! A double kill! The best is yet to come!!

He immediately stopped holding back!

"Ming dog!!"

He still chose his fastest and most lethal magma technique.

This is the same move that ripped half of Whitebeard's head off in the original version!

Its five fingers transformed into claws, and it charged fiercely towards Ace's chest!

The timing and angle were just right.

At this moment, Ace had not yet fully recovered from the attack that resulted in the dog biting the red lotus.

His body was covered in burns, and he was still standing there unsteadily.

"There's no escaping it..."

The deep red arm in his eyes was getting closer and closer, growing larger and larger in Ace's pupils.

Ace wanted to do something, but he couldn't do anything.

"Is it over already...?"

"Got it!!!"

A glint suddenly flashed in Akainu's eyes, and the power in his hand increased by another three points!

It looked like this move was about to pierce Ace's chest.

However!

"Blood Prison - Instant Kill!!"

A deep voice suddenly rang in Akainu's ear, followed by a blood-red slash that struck Akainu's arm.

Phew! !

The Armament Haki attached to it tore open a gash in the magma, slashing Akainu's shoulder and leaving a bloody gash.

The attack that caused Akainu's fist to land paused for a moment.

"[Rain] Shiryu!!!"

Without even turning his head to look, Akainu knew who was behind this!

The strong smell of blood and cigars lingered around his nose, automatically bringing to mind the other person's sinister face wearing an airplane cap.

"You were almost invisible on the battlefield, were you waiting for this final moment to strike?!"

"The timing was impeccable, but even if it costs me this shoulder, I will kill [Fire Fist] Ace right here!!"

The thought flashed through his mind, and Akainu, in a fit of rage, completely abandoned any defense.

He focused all his offensive power on this one [Ghost Dog] strike, aiming for Ace with undiminished momentum.

However~~

That slight pause caused by Shiryu was enough to change the entire outcome.

Sometimes, the key to the whole situation lies in this tiny gap.

The opportunity was fleeting, yet it had a profound impact on the sea.

Just as Akainu's attack was about to pierce Ace's chest, and Ace could even feel the scorching heat of the magma...

"Slaughterhouse - Relocation!!"

In a certain direction, Luo gently pointed his finger upwards!

Ace, who was under Akainu's fist, suddenly disappeared and transformed into another figure.

"Um?!"

"Um?!!"

Akainu's pupils suddenly contracted, and the figure that had been suddenly transformed was also caught off guard.
