New world.
Somewhere near the sea surface of the Red Earth Continent.
The seawater suddenly surged, and a huge bubble emerged from the water, wrapping a ship inside. As the hull completely floated to the surface, the bubble also burst into pieces.
"Oh, it's finally out."
On the deck of the ship, a young man wearing a leather hat stretched energetically.
He stretched out a finger to hold his crooked leather hat, and a wisp of flame spilled out from his finger. His identity was self-evident.
The user with the ability to burn the burning fruit, Fire Fist Ace!
"My body is like fire, so I feel uncomfortable even if I'm in water."
"Boss Ace, where should we go next?"
Ace's crew came over, feeling the sea breeze of the new world, and asked Ace.
Ace looked at the sea in the distance, his eyes flickered, and he showed a deep smile, saying: "I want to find the red hair first, and then..."
…
Two months later.
About 12,000 meters in the air.
Rhodes was using all his strength to activate the distorted gravity, pressing it on his body, and continuously tapping the air with his feet to exercise his body in the form of moon steps.
Because the enhancements brought by the talent system are additional bonuses, his own physical fitness can still continue to improve, and it must also be improved.
if not.
Even if he has enough talent points, he cannot point on the distortion fruit to increase the power of distortion, because his body will not be able to bear it.
Ross's twisted gravity is now fully activated. Even if it is not as good as Fujitora in terms of gravity, it is still extremely terrifying. When performing Moon Step under this level of gravity pressure, the body is extremely terrifying.
And this is still 12,000 meters high, where the air is thin!
If those people from CP9 were to come over, under the pressure of gravity, they might not even be able to stand up straight, let alone walk. Performing Moon Step at such a high altitude would be even more impossible.
Puff, puff, puff!
Just when Ross was sweating profusely as he kept using the Moon Step, and his clothes were completely soaked with sweat, the phone bug's voice rang.
Ross raised his foot and stepped hard, and there was a sound like an explosion in the void, leaving a vague aftermath visible to the naked eye.
at the same time.
He restrained the pressure of gravity, stopped his steps, suspended in the air, and took out the phone bug.
"What's up?"
Ross asked in a deep voice.
Exercising at high altitudes is a compulsory course every day, and it is forbidden to disturb him with ordinary trivial matters.
"Fire Fist Ace has entered the nations."
Robin's very brief words came from the other side of the phone.
Ross' expression paused for two seconds, he rubbed his neck, made a clicking sound, and hung up the phone.
Subsequently.
He turned around, headed downwards, raised his foot and stepped hard, causing the air to explode once again with a sonic boom.
The whole person rushed towards Sky Island Bika at an extremely fast speed.
Whoosh!
Like a falling meteor, the distance of two thousand meters was approaching in an instant. At the moment when he was about to land, Ross changed the direction of gravity and raised his feet to release the force.
Finally, he fell into the huge courtyard paved by Shima Yun. The Shima Cloud under his feet was like a drop of water falling into a calm lake, causing ripples.
Go through the courtyard and come to the palace.
Robin was already waiting here, holding a supply of clean clothes.
Ross walked into the bathroom, took off his sweat-soaked clothes, rinsed them briefly, then walked out of the bathroom and took the clothes from Robin's hand.
"Did you start a fight with our people?"
Ross asked Robin while getting dressed.
Robin tilted his head and said, "Well, it seems that he has the intention to challenge you."
"The strength of Fire Fist is not weak. Most people are no match for him. Lafitte has already passed."
Ross buttoned a button and after hearing Robin's report, said calmly: "Lafitte may not be able to beat him."
"You may not win, and you may not lose."
Robin took the black cloak, came to Ross's back and put it on him, and said: "Ame Shiliu is planning to go there."
"Forget it Shiliu."
Ross shook his head and said, "I'll go there myself, he won't be needed."
"OK."
Robin responded neatly, picked up the phone and informed Ame no Shiru.
Shiliu of the Rain, who had just finished cleaning the knife, couldn't help but shake his head when he heard that Ross was going to go there in person, and put the knife down again.
Finally, he found someone who could chop him a few times, but in the end, Ross still wanted to kill him.
But there is no way.
Who makes Rhodes the boss
…
IWC.
Somewhere on a medium-sized island, the original biscuit town.
On the streets of the town, a figure bathed in flames was confronting Lafitte dressed as a magician.
"Boss Ace, that guy is the captain of the Ghost Hand Pirates."
"Devil Sheriff Lafitte!"
Behind Ace, his crew members gave Ace a solemn reminder.
"Captain..."
Ace's hat was burning with flames, a somewhat confident smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Before I deal with your boss, I'll use you to practice my skills."
"Hoo ho ho ho, you are so young."
Lafitte was not angry, but showed a smile, raised his head slightly, and said: "There are many people who challenge our captain, but a large part of them can't even see our captain's face."
It has been some time since the Ghost Hand Pirates became the Four Emperors, and occasionally supernovas who conquered the first half and were high-spirited came to challenge them.
However, most newcomers can't even pass the vice-captain level, and sometimes they can't even meet their captain, let alone challenge Ross.
Because of Ace's reputation as the most powerful supernova in recent years and an undoubtedly powerful newcomer of the generation, all other pirates in the same period will be overwhelmed by Ace.
Coupled with the ability of the natural devil fruit, that's why Lafitte chose to come over in person instead of leaving it to the deputy captains.
"Yeah?"
Ace smiled and said, "But there will always be someone who can break all this."
fire punch!
The moment he finished speaking, Ace's eyes flashed, flames erupted from his right fist, and he swung it towards Lafitte.
A blazing flame swept through the entire street in an instant, bombarding Lafitte mightily.
"As expected of a natural ability..."
Lafitte narrowed his eyes slightly and jumped decisively to the top of a roof, avoiding Ace's frontal attack.
At the same time, he pulled out the pistol from his waist and fired continuously at Ace.
laugh! laugh! laugh!
Three bullets wrapped with armed Haki flew out.
As a user with natural abilities, Ace was almost invincible in the first half, and he often ignored other people's attacks.
But when he arrived in the new world, he had already been exposed to the power of domineering, and he knew that the people in the new world were completely different from his opponents in the first half.
Whoosh!
Ace did not hesitate and decisively chose to dodge.
However, Lafitte's bullets were fired at a tricky angle, and one of them still hit Ace's shoulder, scratching his clothes and leaving a scar on his skin.
“…”
If it were in the first half of the Grand Line, Ace would be surprised to encounter this situation, but in the new world, he would not be surprised.
His face darkened slightly, and his fingers made a pistol gesture.
"Musket!"
Bang bang bang bang bang!
His fingers instantly turned into flames, like a pistol, shooting out streams of flames towards Lafitte.
Lafitte's cloak was shaking and he was holding a mahogany cane. He was like a piece of paper, twisting his body in the flames to avoid them all.
"Is the sight of sex domineering..."
Ace's eyes flickered slightly, but he seemed to have expected it, and there was a slight curve in the corner of his mouth.
Like Luffy and others, he is a rough-and-tumble person, but during the battle, he doesn't know whether it's talent or something, but he can often grasp a lot of details.
"burst!"
As Ace chanted, a slightly different flame suddenly burst out as it passed by Lafitte.
The flames instantly turned into raging flames.
Lafitte's expression changed slightly, and he jumped decisively to avoid the situation. In an instant, he tore off his ignited cloak and threw it onto the street below.
"You can sense my attack, so you're careless?"
Ace let out a hey, waved his arms, and two flames suddenly swung away, just like two flaming sword energy, attacking Lafitte.
