Chapter Ninety-Eight: Transition
"Ahh Ace was wrapped in the quilt, trembling and shivering.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry Ace!" Aaron kept bowing to Ace, his expression was a little embarrassed, "I was so obsessed with imitating your tricks just now that I didn't notice that you were in front of me...... Sorry Ace! β
"Ahh It's okay, it's okay" Ace waved his hand, he blew his red nose, "It's my own problem, I should have stayed away from you when I saw you kid ignoring me"
"Well, but you kid is really surprising, you actually came up with such a move" Then, Ace looked at Aaron with some surprise, "The trick you used just now is my fire fist, right?" β
"Hmm...," Aaron scratched his head and said a little embarrassed, "I feel like I can use the trick you just used too, so I used it."
"How do you use it? I think you can't turn into a water man, right? Ace said with some curiosity.
"It's just a matter of sucking in water with your fists, and then converting it into your own bodily fluids as much as possible, and then swinging it out when it's at its limit," Aaron explained, scratching his head.
"Can you control the direction of the water fist?" Ace then asked.
"Reluctantly," Aaron said, "but the farther I swing out, the more water I absorb, the more I can't convert..."
"To put it simply, the essence of that move is to spew out the water in your body to attack, right? It's really similar to my Fire Fist," Ace concluded, "and that huge column of water at the end is actually more of ordinary seawater, isn't it?" β
"Well, that's right," Aaron nodded, affirming Ace's statement.
"The whole sea is your home turf," Ace sighed, "Sure enough, Aaron, you're very good." β
"What's the home field?" Nami asked.
"This is one of the characteristics of natural fruits," Ace replied, "When natural fruits enter certain special environments, the fruit's ability will be greatly enhanced, which is called home field advantage." β
"For example, my Burning Fruit will increase its power in fire, and for example, the Sand Crocodile's Fruit will greatly increase its ability in the desert environment. Of course, this is not absolute. After a pause, Ace glanced at everyone and said slowly, "A truly powerful natural ability can forcibly transform the environment that was originally unfavorable to him into an environment that is beneficial to himself, and can even permanently change the environment of a small island!" β
"You meanβ" Usopp's face was a little pale, and he looked at Ace as if he had seen a ghost, "You can turn a small island into a mountain of flames?!" β
"I'm not waiting for that yet," Ace smiled and waved his hand, "at best, I could destroy an island." β
"......" sudden pretending made the Straw Hat Pirates speechless, and only Luffy and Aaron, two idiots, were still shouting and shouting.
This is the so-called invisible pretense, which is the most deadly.
"So that means that above the sea, Aaron's abilities will be infinitely magnified?" After being silent for a while, Sanji remembered Ace's intention to say this just now, and he looked at Aaron with some shock.
"Well, that's right, just like the water fist just now, the whole sea will be Aaron's help!" Ace nodded, affirming Sanji's words.
"There's so much in the sea," Usopp sighed, and then he recalled what Ace had just said, "Wait! You said that the ability of the Rusty Fruit in the desert environment will be greatly enhanced..."
"Hmm," Ace nodded, "So, it's not that easy for you to take down Klockdahl."
ββ¦β¦ I suddenly got a kind of 'sickness that I couldn't get to the island', and I had to stay on the ship, and I would die as soon as I got to the island..." Usopp are you sick? Let me see, let me see! β
"Luffy, if you want to defeat Klockdal now, then you have to bring water, bring a lot of water!" Ignoring Usopp and Chopper, who were playing treasure on the side, Ace looked at Luffy,
"Bring water? Why? Luffy looked at Ace with some confusion.
"Because only water can hit a sand crocodile," Ace said.
"Well, okay, I'll remember!" Luffy nodded.
"But, in that case, Aaron should restrain Crocodall, right?" Nami looked at Ace, "He's comparable to a large storage reservoir!" β
"Water is only capable of materializing Klockdahl, but his abilities are not failing." Ace explained, "That terrible ability to sand and suck out all the water in living things is a very tricky ability. β
"That's the case," Usopp turned a little pale, "how big is this?!" β
"No matter what, I must drive away the sand crocodile and save my country!" After listening to Ace's analysis, Weiwei's face was extremely ugly, she bit her lip, and her eyes were full of stubbornness.
"What are you talking about! It would be nice to knock him away! Luffy said impatiently.
"That's right, it's Luffy, if you say it, it's definitely no problem!" Ace smiled, and then said no more.
"But Ace, why are you here? Aren't you a crew member of the Whitebeard Pirates? Could it be that the Whitebeard Pirates are here? As he spoke, Aaron couldn't help but turn his head from side to side, "Where is it?" Where are the Whitebeard Pirates? β
"How is that possible, Aaron, you are such an idiot!" Ace laughed and scolded, and then his expression gradually became a little serious, "I'm here to hunt down a person, that guy's name is Blackbeard"
"Blackbeard?"
"He was originally a member of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates, that is, my subordinate, but he committed an unforgivable crime on the pirate ship, he killed his companion and escaped from the ship, so as the captain, I must find him and deal with him," Ace said, "I came to this country because I received information that I had seen him haunt Yuba. β
"Hmm... Isn't Aaron's conch a straightforward question? Usopp looked back at Aaron, "Aaron, can you ask with your conch?" β
"Oh oh good!" Aaron nodded immediately, and then he put his hand in his arms.
"What conch? Aaron, have you awakened any new abilities? Ace asked, puzzled.
"Sort of... Aaron scratched his head, then took out the magic conch from his arms and pulled the conch's lead away, "The magic conch tells me, where is Blackbeard?" β
"Drop! Now in Leviathan! There was silence for a while, and the conch mouth slowly emitted a mechanical electronic sound.
"In..." Aaron looked up and was about to speak, but the conch he was holding in his hand suddenly sent an indescribable feeling towards him, which made him feel a little trance,
"I didn't expect to have such an amazing ability... Positioning? I don't know if it's Ace's first exclamation, "Well, since Blackbeard isn't in this country, it's time for us to separate." β
"Is this leaving? Ace. Luffy asked, looking at Ace.
"Well, let's go," Ace said, standing up, "I hope that the next time we meet, you'll be at the pinnacle of pirates." Luffy! β
"Ahh That's rightfully so."
β¦β¦β¦
Alabastan, rain land.
In a room at the Casino Rain Feast
"Don't be kidding~~" A bewitching shemale kept spinning around the room, dancing a bewitching ballet, "When the hell are you going to make me wait?!" β
"Mr.2, can't you just be quiet and wait?" A beautiful woman staring at her fluffy curls expresses her displeasure.
"That's right! You stupid pig! The noise makes my back hurt! An old lady who looked like a mole kept babbling at Mr. 2.
Across from her, a boy who looked like a ball was snoring and sleeping soundly.
Baroque Workshops, Chief Conductor, Together!
"Huh. Everyone doesn't seem to be getting along very well," and then the magnetic voice suddenly remembered, a tall beautiful woman slowly walked out of the door, and she looked at everyone with a smile, "However, there was no need for that." β
It is the assistant of the owner of the Baroque workshop who has not appeared in a long time.
Miss. Sunday, Nicole Robin!
Robin smirked perfectly, "It's hard for everyone to come here from thousands of miles away."
"Where is this? Miss. Sunday. A bald tough guy with a tough guy turned his head and asked.
"No wonder... You were brought in through the back door by Binch, right? Robin said, "I think you all know this city."
"The legendary fantasy city where you can get rich overnight by gambling, the casino city, the rain land!" The smile on Robin's face remained unchanged, "And where we are is in the center of the city, the largest casino in the city, in a room of the rain banquet..."
"......" Everyone looked at Robin in silence and motioned for her to continue.
"Of course, before I get into the main topic, let me introduce you to the boss you haven't met yet," Robin said.
At the dining table, the flame of the candle suddenly tilted to the side for some reason, and then, as if sensing something, everyone turned their heads to look at the chair at the end of the table.
On the empty chair, a sneering man draped in a big hat, with a hook in his left hand, and a scar on his face that spanned the entire face, sat on it.
ββ¦ The hero of Alabastan, the sand crocodile of one of the Seven Martial Seas, Klockdahl! Robin said the man's name lightly.
βοΌοΌοΌβ The conductors were all stunned.
"The boss turned out to be... Alligator?! Mr.2 looked at the man sitting in the main seat in shock, and his jaw could not be closed.
"What a... "Why? The pirates of the Seven Martial Seas will...""Are you our boss?" β
With Mr.2's shock, everyone seemed to open the conversation, and the killers who should have been calm began to make noise like an aunt bargaining in the vegetable market.
For a moment, it was like a bazaar.
When the sand crocodile saw this scene, he first sneered, and then, like a whisper under the Nine Shadows, a cold and hoarse voice slowly came out of his mouth: "You guys, are you not convinced?"
In an instant, everyone felt as if they had been choked.
Silent.
