Chapter 165: The Power of Friendship
Although Titch didn't show the slightest hint of flinching on his face, he didn't want to come to this troubled water since he heard the name "Galen".
Galen of the Seven Martial Seas is a hot topic in the news recently, and Titch naturally knows about Galen's glorious deeds of "rivaling the Hades King Rayleigh in strength and suspected of being a world noble".
It's not that Titch is afraid of being an enemy of the strong, but he is just worried that getting into such trouble will affect his low-key and lurking camouflage plan, after all, his character in the Whitebeard Pirates has always been "a good old man with mediocre strength but a good personality".
However, his Ace Captain was not only not afraid of the prestige of the Seven Martial Seas Galen, but was aroused by the new Seven Martial Seas, which had a lot to do with his hometown of Goa, and was even more interested.
In order to play the role of a "trustworthy true brother", Titch had no choice but to follow Ace over to do chivalrous deeds.
Fortunately, Ace didn't mean to let Titch step forward to take the lead, and soon stood in front of Titch and shouted to Galen:
"Galen!"
"Let that Frankie go!"
Galen is also shocked by Tichy's appearance as a Justice Partner, but he is completely oblivious to the equally striking Ace.
It wasn't until Ace shouted to him that Galen came back to his senses: "Ace? ”
Ace wasn't surprised why the other party knew him, because he was originally a well-known supernova on the sea in the past two years.
He just emphasized to Galen again, "Let that Frankie go!" ”
"Got Frankie out?"
Galen turned his head to look at Frankie, who was standing beside him, and said to Ace unhurriedly:
"Ask him, have I restricted his personal freedom?"
"No, no."
Frankie stammered in reply, and then said to the younger brothers:
"Don't worry about these things, I've promised to work for Galen!"
"Boss Frankie?!"
The younger brothers were in an uproar.
Although Frankie said this from the bottom of his heart, the tangled Ace in his words could be heard.
He gently lifted the cowboy hat he was wearing, and his eyes became sharp:
"I still don't believe what the pamphlet says."
"Now it seems that you are really a bully and evil person!"
Ace immediately thought of the kingdom of Goa, which was far away in the East China Sea:
His hometown has fallen into the clutches of this evil "Draco", and his younger brother Luffy, who is still in his hometown, is even more worried to Ace.
A flame of anger suddenly rose in the heart of the fiery Fire Fist Ace.
"Haha..."
And Galen, who was preconceived by Ace and labeled as "evil", still showed a disdainful smile unrepentantly, and said in a "extremely mocking" tone:
"Fire Fist Ace?"
"Do you believe that I can make you put down your fist obediently with just one word?"
Ace didn't speak.
"Can't do it? Listen up:"
Galen said to himself, "I am..."
"Muskets!"
Ace suddenly attacked, and as soon as he raised his finger, he shot more than a dozen bullets of flame condensation towards Galen at this moment.
Galen's face froze, and his feet instantly stepped on the ground dozens of times, and he moved sideways for a distance of more than ten meters to avoid these flame bullets.
The ground hit by these flame bullets had already exploded into more than a dozen dazzling sparks, leaving a dense bombardment crater in the burst flames.
As soon as Galen stabilized himself from this sudden attack, he could not wait to continue:
"I am the way..."
"Fire Fist!"
Ace interrupted Galen's speech with a surging flame again.
"Holy!"
Galen cursed angrily, and his entire body was submerged in the storm of flames that rushed in front of him.
The Fire Fist is Ace's signature skill, and with one punch, it can hit a huge ball of fire with a diameter of tens of meters wide, and it looks like a small sun falling to the ground from a distance.
And the high temperature that erupted in an instant made the surrounding air transpirate and distort.
Being engulfed in such a terrifying flame is definitely certain death for ordinary people.
But Ace didn't have the slightest sense of ease, because he knew that his fire fist was definitely not a killer for a master like Galen who could match his father's friend.
Sure enough, after the flames had dissipated...
Galen's hard-to-see face was revealed.
Ace's face suddenly showed a look of horror and inexplicability, and even Tiqi, who was observing from the sidelines, was moved:
They had thought that this fist of fire might not be able to help each other, but they had never thought that Galen would be able to face the hot flames without being harmed.
Not only was he unscathed, Galen didn't even have the blue silk scarf tied to his armor burned by Ace's flames, and he didn't even show a little polite burnt black in shame.
"Mirror Flame!"
In the face of this strange scene, Ace immediately chose to suppress his opponent with a more powerful flame.
He swung his right arm at Galen, and then swung a large cloud of flames that devoured the heavens and the earth, and then flooded Galen like a tsunami.
Unlike the previous orange-red flames, this time's firestorm took on a dazzling golden yellow, far warmer and more lethal than before.
But Galen still didn't dodge.
The flames engulfed everything, including Galen's figure.
Ace couldn't see Galen's situation at the moment, so he could only try his best to maintain the output of the flames.
But at this moment, in the cloud of flames that could burn everything, a large sword suddenly reached out intact.
Ace's expression froze suddenly.
In this dazzling flame, no one could see the brilliant golden light that lingered on the sword's body.
But Ace really felt the power of this golden light:
The moment the great sword touched his body, the flames released from his hand came to an abrupt halt.
The flame that was originally like an arm was inexplicably disappearing at the moment, making Ace feel an indescribable sense of emptiness.
But Ace is the one who has risen to the captain of Whitebeard's second team with his hard core strength, and even if his proud fruit ability is sealed, he will not be defeated without a fight.
His legs burst out with formidable strength, and he retreated dozens of meters back again and again.
After pulling away from a safe distance, Ace covered the sword wound cut by Galen between his waist and abdomen with a frightened face, and said in shock:
"Where's my fruit power?!"
Galen replied indifferently, "I sealed it." ”
Ace's expression was even more surprised:
"Y-What kind of fruit power are you?"
Galen didn't answer, but glanced at Ace, who had already fallen into the disadvantage, with some displeasure:
"Leave this alone..."
"Can we talk properly now?"
Ace hesitated for a moment, but finally did not act rashly.
But there was a sudden loud wheezing sound of a beast roaring.
Galen and Ace followed the prestige in confusion, only to see that Titch, who was still smiling at the beginning, was now distorted, his eyes were red, and he was panting like a cow.
He clenched his fists tightly, and the thick hairs on his body stood up in extreme rage.
Even though Galen had only made a slight move and only fought Ace for two rounds...
But after seeing Galen's ability, Titch couldn't calm down:
Cannot be elementalized, but can absorb the damage of the opponent's attack intact;
Close quarters can seal the enemy's Devil Fruit ability...
There was only one Devil Fruit with these effects—the one he had been waiting for for decades to find—the Nature-Based Dark Fruit.
And now, such a unique ability has appeared in another person.
"Y-you..."
Titch's emotions were completely out of control, the good old man's disguise was completely torn by him, and anger and irritability were completely written on his face:
"You have to die!!"
Galen's face was stunned for a moment, and he was hit by a pitch-black fist like a battering ram.
This powerful punch almost tore the entire space apart, and the air that was squeezed at high speed set off an extremely terrifying storm around it.
Almost unavoidable, Galen only had time to turn on the damage reduction and shield before he met Titch's angry punch head-on.
The dull sound of collision resounded through the sky, and Galen's body bounced out like a cannonball, and set off dozens of meters of dirt waves on the beach by the sea.
"Ti, Tichy, he..."
Ace was dumbfounded: "It's so strong?" ”
Titch has never shown his true strength in the Whitebeard Pirates, otherwise it would not be difficult to get into the position of captain of a team.
Seeing the terrifying power that Titch burst out of his rage, Ace couldn't help but ...
Moved to tears:
"In order to protect me, the captain, Tiqi can burst out with such a powerful strength!"
"Is this the power of friendship?"
