Chapter 522: Burning
Bikasa Village, coast.
Ace looked at the rolling heat waves coming towards him and was extremely surprised. He felt that this wave of fire was almost the same as when he used the Flame-Flame Fruit.
It even seems that the temperature is higher than his. No wonder this person dislikes the Flame-Flame Fruit so much. It turns out that the other party can use fire without the ability of the fruit.
The New World is indeed full of hidden talents. I met such an interesting person before even meeting the Four Emperors.
"Hahaha, so you can use fire, too. But I don't think the Flame-Flame Fruit is necessarily weaker than your fire."
Ace grinned, clenched his fist, gathered strength, and swung it forward fiercely.
"Fire Fist!"
Ace suddenly swung out a
Seeing this scene, Ace's face was full of disbelief.
Xia Yu was also speechless. Using fire to fight fire, it was really amazing that Ace came up with the idea.
Seeing the raging fire approaching him, Ace hurriedly turned into flames and merged into it. In the early days before the appearance of domineering, the natural fruit was one of the most unsolvable fruit abilities.
Because people who have eaten nature-type fruits can ignore general physical attacks and even become immune to natural elements with the same attributes as themselves.
Of course, the premise is that natural elements are really just ordinary elements and not anything else.
For example, the Flame-Flame Fruit, which is related to temperature, cannot withstand the damage of hot magma, which is very strange. Theoretically, there is no upper limit to the temperature of flames, and magma is no match for flames.
However, in this world of pirates, the Magma Fruit can restrain the Flame-Flame Fruit, and no one thinks there is anything wrong with this strange phenomenon.
After Ace turned into flames and merged into the fire wave, before he had time to feel the surrounding flames, a scorching heat suddenly burned his skin, forcing him to jump out of the fire wave.
"It's hot! It's hot! It's burning!"
In an instant, Ace jumped out from the rolling waves of fire, jumping and slapping the flames on his body, while screaming in pain from the burns .
After extinguishing the flames on his body, Ace looked at the gradually dying fire with some lingering fear.
This was the first time he felt the burns of flames since he ate the Flame-Flame Fruit.
But soon, Ace ignored these questions and looked at Xia Yu with fighting spirit: "You are really powerful. I didn't expect you to be able to use such a strong fire attack. I won't be polite next time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ace stepped on his right foot, and circles of spiral flames began to spread out in all directions. Then Ace raised his right hand high, and countless flames condensed.
A flame so hot that it looked like a small sun was formed, and the temperature around it began to gradually rise.
"Great Flame Ring, Flame Emperor."
At this moment, Ace seemed like the sun god holding the sun in his hands.
Seeing this scene, Xia Yu raised his eyebrows slightly. This move was a bit similar to the residue of his fire spell hotbed, both of which involved throwing huge fireballs.
However, the temperature of Ace's Entei is not high, probably only a few hundred degrees. No wonder the Flame-Flame Fruit cannot compare to the Magma Fruit. The temperature of magma is at least thousands of degrees.
The moment Emperor Yan appeared, the faces of the people watching the battle changed, and even a fool could feel the energy contained in it.
But before the spectators could find a place to hide, Xia Yu raised his hand and snapped his fingers lightly. The next moment, the blazing fireball went out with a hiss.
"!!!"
At this moment, everything around them seemed as if someone had pressed the pause button. There was total silence, and the residents and members of the Spade Pirates who were watching the battle were all stunned, with their tongues sticking out of their mouths and their eyes popping out of their sockets.
Ace, who had raised his right hand, also looked up stiffly, then clenched his right hand in disbelief.
But no matter how he sensed, his Yan Emperor had disappeared, and only a wisp of green smoke slowly rose in the palm of his hand.
"Where's my Entei!!"
Ace clapped his hands to his face, and roared with his mouth open in surprise.
"Obviously, your fireball is out."
While Xia Yu was replying, he put the Bai Lei back into the scabbard. Bai Lei was used to kill villains, and Ace didn't need Bai Lei for the time being.
"Did you do this?!"
Hearing what Xia Yu said, Ace suddenly turned his head and shouted at Xia Yu with an exaggerated expression: "How did you extinguish the Flame Emperor? It's amazing!"
Xia Yu: (′-ι_-｀)
How come Ace is the same as Luffy? They are indeed brothers.
But if you think about it carefully, there is no problem. Ace has just arrived in the new world and has not had time to be beaten by the new world. It is the time for him to show off.
Only after joining the Whitebeard Pirates and training for two years will he gradually become more mature.
"Hahaha, you are so powerful. You actually extinguished my strongest move. I admit defeat."
Ace scratched his head and laughed: "But I won't admit defeat. When I figure out how to keep the flame from going out, I will challenge you again."
"well……"
Seeing the heartless Ace, Xia Yu sighed softly, stepped forward, and as Ace tilted his head and looked at him in confusion, Xia Yu suddenly punched him.
"Idiot! Do you know what the consequences of throwing that fireball you just threw will be?"
With a bang, a big bump emitting smoke appeared on Ace's head.
“It hurts!!”
Ace, who had suffered a critical blow to the head, covered his head tightly and squatted down, grimacing in pain: "Why does it hurt so much? It hurts more than the old man's fist!"
After more than ten seconds of rest, Ace forced himself to stand up and looked at Xia Yu with a distorted face: "Why did you hit me? And why does your fist hurt so much?"
Xia Yu didn't reply, but just silently raised his fist again.
Seeing Xia Yu's unfriendly eyes, Ace took a breath and stepped back: "What do you want to do? Don't come over here, if you come over here, I will not be polite!"
Xia Yu: “…”
Suddenly I understand how hard it is to be Luffy's companion.
"Answer my question, idiot!"
"question?"
Ace rubbed his head and frowned, recalling Xia Yu's question. What would be the consequences if he had thrown Yan Di out just now?
While thinking about this question, Ace turned his head and looked around. The residents and his companions were also looking at him.
After thinking carefully for a few seconds, Ace suddenly looked up and suddenly realized.
His Yan Emperor is very powerful. Even if Xia Yu will not be injured, the people watching the battle will definitely be affected. Maybe his companions are far away and will not be injured, but it is hard to say about those residents.
Thinking of this, Ace bowed solemnly to the residents.
" I'm very sorry. I didn't think it through. If I had used Entei here just now, you would definitely have been hurt. I won't do it again next time."
After Sabo's death, in order to establish the image of a good brother to Luffy, he learned etiquette from Makino.
He learned everything from Makino, including how to greet others, apologize immediately after doing something wrong, and wipe the dishes after eating.
Ace's polite attitude made the residents feel a little overwhelmed. This was the first time they had received an apology from a pirate.
You know, they just stole the food and water of this pirate group, and even tied up these pirates.
What's more, the pirates they had met before were all members of the Beasts Pirates. Those members were all arrogant and domineering and never took them seriously. Faced with Ace's apology, they were a little at a loss.
"Okay, I hope you can understand this. If you don't realize this, I will beat you up again."
Xia Yu patted Ace's shoulder, and Ace straightened up with a smile.
Xia Yu didn't dislike Ace, who was able to notice his mistakes. In his opinion, Ace was also the type of pirate like Red Hair who could act smart.
According to the nine-square grid of camps, most pirates are chaotic evil, but people like Ace and Luffy should be classified as chaotic neutral.
They are absolute individualists who neither deliberately maintain and obey order nor deliberately violate and destroy order.
This type of person values their own freedom but does not work hard to protect the freedom of others.
This is also one of the reasons why some people in the world of One Piece aspire to become pirates, because there has always been a mainstream view circulating on this ocean that pirates are the freest people on the ocean.
In pursuit of freedom, they naturally choose to become pirates.
However, even after becoming pirates, they are more like adventurers because they neither plunder nor destroy.
But in the process, they will indirectly cause damage, just like Luffy causing chaos in Impel Down and releasing many pirates.
This is one of the reasons why they are classified as chaotic.
The residents around were relieved to see Xia Yu helped them out of the predicament. Otherwise, they would not know what to do seeing Ace bowing and apologizing to them.
At this moment, Ah Yu, who was holding the pudding, suddenly came over and held the pudding high up: "Big brother, this is your pudding."
"Yeah, that's good."
Xia Yu rubbed A Yu's little head and said with a smile: "As a thank you for helping me protect the pudding, this plate of pudding is for you."
"Really?"
Ah Yu's eyes widened and her mouth couldn't help drooling. When she was holding the pudding just now, she had imagined more than once what the texture and taste of the pudding would be like. She never thought that she could actually eat the pudding.
"Really? Eat now."
"Thank you, big brother!"
A Yu hurriedly bowed to express her gratitude, and excitedly ran towards Tenguyama Feiche holding the pudding.
Seeing this scene, Xia Yu couldn't help but smile. Polite children are cute. There is no harm without comparison. The naughty child deserves to die.
"pudding……"
"Um?"
Hearing the mumbling beside him, Xia Yu turned his head in confusion. Ace widened his eyes and said unreasonably: "I want to eat too!"
(ー`′ー)
Face?
It is true that people who have no shame are invincible.
Seeing that Xia Yu was unmoved, Ace put his arm around Xia Yu's neck and said with a smile: "No fight, no acquaintance. To celebrate our acquaintance, let's have a party!"
"I'm going to get the hidden supplies hidden on the ship, and you bring out some more desserts, and we can have a party together!"
"...I say, we don't know each other yet, do you know my name?" Xia Yu put on a dead fish eye and couldn't help but complain.
"That's not a problem. My name is Ace, Portgas D. Ace. What's yours?"
Facing Ace's eager gaze, Xia Yu sighed slightly: "I'm afraid of you. My name is Xia Yu, my last name is Xia Yu."
"Xia Yu?"
Ace scratched his head and replied, "What a strange name. Are you from the Flower Kingdom? I heard that people from the Flower Kingdom all have names like this."
Xia Yu pushed Ace's big face away and told the truth: "No, I am not from this world."
"Hahaha, if you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. I'm from the East China Sea, and I just came to the New World not long ago."
Ace didn't care. He waved his hand and used fire to burn the ropes that bound his pirate members. After all the members were freed, Ace shouted.
"Hey! Let's have a party and take down all the supplies hidden on the ship. Since we're treating everyone to a meal, we must make sure everyone enjoys it!"
Having said that, the supplies hidden on Ace's pirate ship were still not taken out, because when Ace shouted to start the banquet, Xia Yu directly took out a large amount of food and desserts.
In the eyes of others, Xia Yu just conjured up a lot of food out of thin air.
This move shocked everyone so much that they were stunned. They all stared at Xia Yu as if he were a monster. It was not until Ace grinned foolishly and stuffed the dessert into his mouth frantically that the others reacted and joined the team that started eating.
A sudden banquet began just like that.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, there was still a lot of food left. Xia Yu didn't care and simply waved and gave it to the villagers of Bianli Village, which earned him the gratitude of all the villagers.
The Spade Pirates also integrated into the villagers at this time, and their friendly attitude gradually made the villagers let down their guard.
Just as the crew of the Spade Pirates were preparing to push the stranded pirate ship back into the sea with the villagers, Ace suddenly found Xia Yu.
"Hey, Xia Yu, do you want to join my pirate group? My pirate group is the best pirate group in the world!"
"Dream on."
Xia Yu rolled his eyes and reminded him, "Don't be a pirate. Soon, the Great Pirate Era will be over. Even if you don't want to be a pirate, you can be an adventurer and become the freest person on this ocean."
"ah?"
Hearing this, Ace was stunned: "The era of great pirates is coming to an end? This is impossible. How can the era of pirates end? The Pirate King hasn't even appeared yet."
Xia Yu shook his head: "Who said that a new Pirate King must appear to declare the end of the Pirate Era? Let me tell you, I am one of the people who came to end the Pirate Era."
"this……"
Seeing that what Xia Yu said seemed to be true, although Ace did not believe that the pirate era would end, he seemed to have realized that perhaps in the near future, the sea would be turbulent again.
Just at this moment, a terrifying scene that could not be ignored suddenly came from the place where the sea and sky meet in the distance.
Suddenly, at the end of the originally calm sea, there were huge waves, followed by the terrifying sword energy that connected the sky and the earth. Although it was far away, one could clearly see the sword energy that seemed to tear everything apart.
“What is that!!”
Ace's eyes widened and his pupils trembled slightly. Even though the sword energy was not directed at this side, his skin could still feel a slight sting.
"Tsk, don't you know how to be low-key?"
Xia Yu looked at the sword energy, shook his head and said to himself: "Forget it, since Kaido hasn't come back, let's start with Kurozumi Orochi."
