"Don't you pick it up? That's the power you've been looking for for decades. Ace looked at Blackbeard and spoke.

Of course, Blackbeard wanted to pick up the Dark Fruit, but he didn't dare, he had a feeling now that as long as he dared to bend down, the man in front of him would blow his head out.

"'Fist of Fire' Portkas D. Ace, why are you here! Blackbeard looked at Ace and asked in a deep voice.

"Even if I tell you that I'm passing by, I'm afraid you won't believe it, right?" Ace smiled slightly and said, "So, you just thought I came to trouble you on purpose." ”

Hearing Ace's words, Blackbeard's face became very ugly, he knew very well that he who didn't eat the Dark Fruit was definitely not the opponent of the man in front of him, so he now regretted very much why he didn't eat it directly the moment he got the Dark Fruit, why did he pretend to be forced in front of Thatch.

Reason tells Blackbeard that retreating now is the best option, because he can feel Ace's murderous intent towards him, but he can't bear the Dark Fruit on the side.

Blackbeard glanced at the Dark Fruit on the side, then gritted his teeth and decided to fight it.

Wealth is in danger, anyway, he has already shown his fangs, and he can't get the power of the Dark Fruit, even if he doesn't die today, he will face the pursuit of the Whitebeard Pirates in the future, so it's better to fight.

Give it a go, turn a bicycle into a motorcycle, winning is the pinnacle of life, and losing...... No, I can't lose!

With this realization in mind, Blackbeard suddenly pounced towards the Dark Fruit.

"Flame Razor!"

Just as Blackbeard's hand was about to touch the Darkfruit, a blade of flame suddenly slashed towards his neck, and his head shrank, and the flame razor flashed through his wrist, and the blood splattered, and Blackbeard's right hand remained with the Darkfruit forever.

Blackbeard rolled into the distance, then grabbed his severed wrist and cursed with a contorted face, "Bastard, brute, my hand! ”

"It's a pity that the neck I originally wanted to cut off was dodged by you." Ace kicked Blackbeard's severed palm away, then picked up the dark fruit on the ground, and said with a smile: "Then, I will accept this devil fruit." ”

"You're already a capable person, even if you get this Devil Fruit, you won't be able to get its power." Blackbeard stood up, looked at Ace, and said, "Fire Fist, why don't you give it to me, and then we will take this world together, if?" ”

"Whitebeard is old and sick, and has little strength left, and his time will soon pass." There was no hope of robbery, Blackbeard changed his words to bewitch Ace, and he said excitedly: "I already have a full plan, if you give me the power of darkness, if we join forces, we will be able to easily take over the whole world." ”

"So, let's work together, Fire Fist!"

Blackbeard wasn't lying, he was genuinely inviting Ace to join him, and if Ace could really cooperate with him, then his ambitions would definitely come true faster.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in taking over the world." Ace threw away the dark fruit in his hand and said lightly: "And more than ambition, I want to kill you directly here." ”

"Is that so? Then I'm a big failure today, thief hahaha! Blackbeard burst out laughing, then turned around and shouted, "Poison · Q, it's up to you! ”

"Heavenly Poison Gray Mist!"

Suddenly, a gray mist suddenly rose to the ground, quickly enveloping the figures of everyone around them.

"Ahh ~”

"What is this, it can't even defend against the armed color domineering."

"Run, you'll die if you touch this thing, get out of here quickly!"

The bodies of those who were touched by the gray mist immediately began to fester, and even the armed color domineering could not defend against it, and for a while, a large number of screams came and went.

"Yan Shanggang!"

With a wave of his arms, a large amount of flame erupted from his body, forming a flame barrier to stop the spread of those gray mist.

"Flowing Fire, Flame Wave!"

As soon as Ace grasped the palm of his hand, the surrounding flames suddenly contracted, and then burst suddenly, forming a scorching air flow like a wave of flames, blowing away all those gray mist in an instant.

"Did he run away?" After dispelling the poisonous gray mist, Ace noticed that Blackbeard's figure had disappeared, and even the severed palm had disappeared with him.

"I didn't expect the poison · Q is also here, and this time they really put it together. Ace said with a gloomy face.

Ace came this time, originally thinking that if he had the opportunity, he would kill Blackbeard directly here, but he didn't expect to be run away by him because of carelessness.

"Forget it, Blackbeard, who didn't get the Dark Fruit, is just a lost dog at best." Ace glanced at the Dark Fruit in his hand, put it in his backpack, and then walked over to the dying Thatch.

Ace crouched down, looked at Thatch, who was still a little conscious, and asked softly, "Do you have any last words?" ”

Thatch, who was pierced through the heart, was already out of breath and intake in too much at this time, and he could lose his breath at any time, and he was hopeless.

"Hug ...... Sorry, I give ...... Dad...... Shame on you. After Thatch uttered these words intermittently, he completely lost his breath.

"Alas! ~" Ace looked at Thatch, who had lost his breath, and sighed slightly, but he didn't expect that the captain of the fourth team of the Whitebeard Pirates still couldn't escape his original fate and still died at Blackbeard's hands.

"Captain Thatch!"

At this time, the returning members of the Fourth Team saw the dead Thatch, and they all burst into tears.

"Thank you, Fire Fist, you saved our lives this time." The Dikalban brothers came up to Ace and thanked him.

"It's just the right time." Ace waved his hand, then asked, "What are you going to do next?" Do you want to join my pirates! ”

"We've accepted Captain Thatch's invitation to join the Whitebeard Pirates, and even if Thatch is dead, we'll keep our promise as long as we're alive." Brother Dikalban looked at Ace and said apologetically, "So, I'm sorry, Fire Fist, we can't accept your invitation. ”

"It's okay, you're just keeping your word, you don't have to say sorry to me." Ace shook his head, and then said, "However, I didn't expect this kind of thing, it seems that I am going to meet Whitebeard as well." ”

"We'll go with you." Brother Dikarban immediately said: "We have seen everything that happened here, and we will testify for you." ”

"That's right, we'll tell Daddy the truth about what happened here, and we won't get you in trouble."

"Yes, it's all Titch's traitor's fault, Daddy will definitely kill him and avenge Captain Thatch!"
