Sun Island.

Ace and Sabo were sent back by Bear using his abilities, and soon after, Bear himself appeared on Sun Island.

Ace and Sabo talked to Bear for a long time, but Bear was reluctant to tell Ace and Sabo what deal he had made with the Vegapunk.

And looking at the bear's appearance, he seems to be willing to accept Vegapunk's transformation, even if he is rescued by Ace and Sabo this time, he will definitely go back to continue to complete the deal with Vegapunk after that, which is very disturbing.

Although I don't know what Xiong asks and he must insist on completing the transaction with Vegapunk, but a man like Xiong, once he has made a decision, it is almost impossible to change.

In the end, Ace had no choice but to ask Xiong to promise him not to accept Vegapunk's final transformation for at least two years.

Perhaps because of guilt for refusing Ace's invitation many times, Xiong thought for a moment and agreed to Ace's request.

Next, Sabo and Xiong did not leave Sun Island immediately.

Because Ace personally slaughtered a Celestial Dragon, once this matter is discovered by the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, they will definitely go all out to crusade against Ace.

Sabo and Bear stayed because they wanted to contribute to Ace in the upcoming war.

However, what they didn't expect was that after waiting for a few days, the 'raging storm' expected by the three of them did not appear, and even the news of the killing of the Celestial Dragons did not come out.

In this case, the two Aces couldn't help but think that they were wrong at the time, and the one who was killed was not a Tianlong person, but an impostor?

Sabo and Bear then spent a few more days on Sun Island, a full week after they returned from Mary Joy.

There is still no news from the world government, not to mention the news that the Celestial Dragons were killed, even the fact that Ace made a big fuss in Pangu City, and even blew up Yimu's residence 'Between Flowers', seems to have been covered up by the world government.

Maybe it's because the [World Conscription], which is of great significance to the world government, is still in full swing, or because the [Marshal Dispute] between the Pheasant and the Akainu has entered a white-hot stage, and these things make the World Government have no energy to deal with Ace for the time being.

It could also be for some other reason, in short, although I don't know why the world government covered up these news, but, in any case, things did not go in the worst direction as expected, and it was a good thing for both Ace and the revolutionary army.

Because for Ace, the most lacking thing now is time.

The next day, Sabo and Xiong left Sun Island one after another.

Ace also learned about his lack of ability in the battle between Pangu City and Yimu, so Ace decided that he would not go out to surf around for a long time in the future, and was ready to stay on Sun Island and seriously improve his strength.

Before he could do that, though, he had to meet Whitebeard.

……

On the deck of the Moby Dick, Ace and Whitebeard sat opposite each other, and Marco and Joz were also among the captains.

When Ace told them what had happened to Mary Joa, especially after learning of the existence of 'Imu', both Whitebeard and the captains were surprised.

Then, the captains began to analyze Imu's abilities.

"If, according to what Ace said, there are really people in this world who can use all kinds of Devil Fruit abilities as they want, then this 'Imu' is inevitably too terrifying, is there really that kind of ability in this world that allows people to use various Devil Fruit abilities as they like?"

"Maybe his ability can copy the ability of other people? It's not that this possibility is impossible, doesn't that guy Tiqi have two abilities at the same time? ”

"Indeed, just like Tiqi during the top war, that guy just got the two abilities of [Dark Fruit] and [Piao Fruit], and it has become difficult for even Daddy to deal with, if it weren't for Ace to achieve the means to deal with it, I'm afraid the outcome of the top war will be completely different."

"That's right, the most important thing is that that 'Imu' can also make the opponent of the same ability unable to use the Devil Fruit's ability in front of him within a certain range, which is also dangerous."

Ace had fought with Imu, and he knew very well that Im's ability was by no means as simple as copying other people's abilities, because Ace could feel that when he faced Im, the ability to burn fruit in his body was almost completely silent, and it was a kind of suppression at the root.

If it weren't for the fact that his ability had undergone some kind of mutation, Ace felt that Imu could even easily extract the ability given to him by the Burning Fruit from his body.

Ace suddenly thought of Blackbeard, that guy can use more of other people's abilities, will it have something to do with 'Imu'?

Ace and Whitebeard listened to the captains analyze the abilities of 'Imu', and they still limited the abilities of 'Imu' to the scope of some special Devil Fruit ability, while Whitebeard and Ace thought of another terrible possibility at the same time because of the words that Roger had left.

However, both of them tacitly did not say the guess in their hearts, after all, a guess is always just a guess until it is confirmed.

What if, 'Imu''s abilities really just come from some kind of special Devil Fruit?

"Kulalalala, I didn't expect the world government to hide such a figure." After being surprised, Whitebeard suddenly burst out laughing, and then said a little lonely: "It's a pity, I'm already old, otherwise I really want to go and meet the 'Imu' you said for a while." ”

"Hehe, there's going to be a chance!" Ace smiled and said, "However, the person who defeated that guy at that time must be me!" ”

"Kulalalala, you're confident that it's the best." Seeing Ace's confident appearance, Whitebeard was very pleased.

Whitebeard thought that Ace would suffer some blows because of this defeat, but he didn't expect that this encounter with a strong enemy not only did not hit him, but made him stronger and more determined.

"However, you kid don't run around in the future, stay on your own territory and practice for a while." Whitebeard said to Ace, and then said worriedly: "I have a hunch that the world government will soon make a big move, and when the time comes, the entire era will be turned upside down. ”

"Hehe, I'm planning to do that too." Ace smiled, suddenly thought of something, and suddenly asked Whitebeard: "By the way, uncle, I heard about a person on Fish-Man Island this time, his name is Edward Weibull, I heard that person claims to be your 'son', is this true?" ”

Hearing Ace's words, Whitebeard's face turned dark, and then he yelled at Ace, "Get out!" ”
