New world.

Somewhere near the surface of the Red Earth.

Suddenly, the sea swelled, and a huge bubble emerged from the water, encasing a ship inside, and as the hull of the ship fully surfaced, the bubble also snapped and shattered.

"Oh, it's finally out."

On the deck of the ship, a young man in a fur hat stretched out energetically.

He stretched out a finger to hold on to his crooked fur hat, and a wisp of flame overflowed from his finger, and his identity was self-evident.

The one who burns the fruit, Fire Fist Ace!

"The body is fire, and it feels uncomfortable in the water."

"Boss Ace, where are we going next?"

Ace's crew walked over, feeling the sea breeze of the new world, and asked Ace.

Ace looked at the sea in the distance, his eyes flickered, revealing a deep smile, and said, "I want to find the redhead first, and then ......"

……

Two months later.

About 12,000 meters in the air.

Rhodes was exerting the twisted gravity with all his might, pressing on his body, and continuously stomping on the air with both feet, exercising his body in a moon-to-month manner.

Because the enhancements brought by the talent system are all additional bonuses, his own physique can still continue to improve, and it must also be improved.

Otherwise.

Even if he had enough talent points, he wouldn't be able to increase the power of the twist on the twisted fruit, because the flesh would not be able to withstand it.

Rhodes's current distorted gravity is fully activated, even if it is inferior to Fuji Tiger in terms of gravity, it is extremely terrifying, and it can be described as extremely terrifying to perform a moon step under this level of gravity oppression.

And it's still 12,000 kilometers in the air, and the air is thin at an altitude!

Those who replaced CP9 came over, and under the pressure of gravity, I am afraid that they would not even be able to stand up straight, let alone walk, and it is even more fantastic to perform moon steps at such a high altitude.

Puff puff puff!

Just when Rhodes kept using the moon steps, sweating like rain, and his clothes were completely soaked with sweat, the voice of the phone bug rang.

Rhodes raised his foot and stepped hard, and the void exploded with a loud sound from his step, faintly reverberating a layer of aftermath visible to the naked eye.

At the same time.

He restrained the pressure of gravity, stopped the moon step, suspended in the air, and took out the phone bug.

"What's the matter?"

Rhodes asked in a deep voice.

Coming to the high altitude to exercise is a compulsory course every day, and it is forbidden to disturb him in ordinary small things.

"Fire Fist Ace has entered the nations."

Robin's very brief words came from the other side of the phone bug.

Rhodes' expression paused for two seconds, rubbing his neck, making a clicking sound, and hanging up the phone bug.

Subsequently.

He turned around, turned his head down, and slammed his foot up, and the air was once again sonic boom from him.

The whole person rushed towards Sky Island Bika at a very fast speed.

Sou!

Like a meteor falling, the distance of two thousand meters is instantaneous, and at the moment when it is about to land, Rhodes changes the direction of gravity and lifts his feet to unload the force.

Eventually, it landed in a huge courtyard paved with island clouds, and the island clouds under his feet rippled like a drop of water falling into a calm lake.

Walk through the courtyard to the palace.

Robin was already waiting here, a clean suit in his hand.

Rhodes walked into the bathroom, took off his sweat-soaked clothes, rinsed them briefly, and then walked out of the bathroom to take Robin's clothes.

"Did you get into a fight with our people?"

Rhodes asked Robin as he got dressed.

Robin tilted his head and said, "Well, it seems that I was planning to challenge you." ”

"The strength of Fire Fist is not weak, ordinary people are not his opponents, and Lafitte has passed."

Rhodes buttoned a button, heard Robin's report, and said calmly: "Lafitte may not be able to win him." ”

"You may not win, and you may not lose."

Robin took the black cloak, came to Rhodes' back and draped it on, and said, "Hiryu no Rain is planning to go over." ”

"Hiryu forget it."

Rhodes shook his head and said, "I'll go over in person, I don't need him." ”

"Okay."

Robin responded cleanly, picked up the phone, and informed Hiryu of the rain.

Yuno Hiryu, who had just finished wiping the knife, couldn't help but shake his head when he heard that Rhodes was going over in person, and put the knife down again.

Finally, someone who could cut a few times finally came, and it turned out that Rhodes had to grab people's heads.

But it can't be helped.

Who made Rhodes the boss?

……

Universal.

Somewhere medium-sized island, formerly a biscuit town.

On the streets of the town, a figure bathed in flames confronts Lafitte, dressed as a magician.

"Boss Ace, that guy is the captain of the Ghost Hand Pirates."

"Sheriff Lafitte of the Devil!"

In the rear of Ace, the crew under his command reminded Ace solemnly.

"Captain......"

Ace's hat burned with flames, and a somewhat confident smile appeared on his face, "Before dealing with your boss, I'll use you to practice first." ”

"Ho Ho Ho Ho, so young."

Lafitte was not annoyed, 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 the face of our captain." ”

It's been a while since the Ghost Hand Pirates became the Four Emperors, and occasionally there will be supernovas who have conquered the first half of the game and come to challenge.

However, most of the newcomers can't even pass the level of the vice-captain, and sometimes they can't even meet their captain, let alone challenge Rhodes.

Since Ace's reputation is the most powerful supernova in recent years, he is undoubtedly a powerful newcomer of a generation, and all the other pirates in the same period will be crushed by Ace.

Coupled with the ability of the natural Devil Fruit, Lafitte chose to come over in person instead of handing it over to the vice-captains.

"Really?"

Ace smiled and said, "But there will always be someone who can break all this." ”

Fire Fist!

The moment the words fell, Ace's eyes flashed, and the flames of his right fist erupted, swinging out towards Lafitte.

A blazing flame swept through the street in an instant, blasting towards Lafitte.

"It's worthy of the ability of the natural department......"

Lafitte's eyes narrowed slightly, and she leapt decisively to the top of a roof, avoiding Ace's frontal blow.

At the same time, he pulled out the pistol on his waist and fired at Ace in succession.

Laugh at! Laugh at! Laugh at!

Three bullets wrapped around the domineering color of the armed color flew out.

Ace, as a natural ability, was almost invincible in the first half, and many times directly ignored other people's attacks.

But when he arrived in the New World, he had already been exposed to domineering power, and he knew very well that the people of the New World were completely different from the opponents in the first half.

Sou!

Ace did not hesitate and decisively chose to dodge.

However, Lafitte's bullet shot at a tricky angle, and one of them still grazed Ace's shoulder, scuffing his clothes and leaving a scar on his skin.

“……”

If it was in the first half of the Great Voyage, Ace would have been surprised to encounter such a situation, but not in the New World.

His face sank slightly, and his fingers posed as a pistol.

"Muskets!"

Bang bang!

The fingers instantly turned into flames, like pistols, shooting flames at Lafitte.

Lafitte's cloak trembled, holding a mahogany cane, and his whole body was like a piece of paper, twisting his body in the flames, avoiding them all.

"Are you domineering when you see and hear......"

Ace's eyes flashed slightly, but he seemed to have expected it, and a trace of curvature appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He, like Luffy and the others, is a person with rough nerves, but in the process of fighting, he doesn't know if it's talent or what, but he can often grasp a lot of details.

"Boom!"

As Ace read out, a slightly different flame suddenly erupted as it passed past Lafitte.

The flames turned into raging flames in an instant.

Lafitte's face changed slightly, and he jumped decisively, avoided the distance, and in an instant ripped off his lit cloak and threw it into the street below.

"You can sense my attack, so you're careless?"

Ace snorted, and with a wave of his arms, two flames suddenly swung sideways, like two flame sword qi, attacking Lafitte.
