"Burning Fruit" gives Ace the ability to transform into flames.

Theoretically, the temperature of the flame is definitely not only a few hundred degrees Celsius, at least, the flame on the surface of the sun has a high temperature of about 5,500 degrees Celsius.

However, the starting point of the burnt fruit is too low, unlike the magma fruit of the Red Inu, which can be transformed into magma from the moment it is eaten, and it already has a high temperature of more than 1,000 degrees Celsius.

The Burning Fruit, like the Thunder Fruit, is developed by those who need the ability to do it themselves.

Anilu was not able to release 200 million volts of thunder and lightning on the first day of eating the Thunder Fruit.

Now Ace, the flame he can release is only the temperature of an ordinary furnace fire at most.

Not to mention Carl's "Dark Flame", even Qiluno's "Karmic Fire" can also cause effective damage to Ace.

Ace didn't ask questions like "why do you know my name?"

Because his dream is to be famous in the sea, in Ace's opinion, even if the other party is one of the "Four Emperors" standing at the apex of pirates, it is a matter of course that the other party can know his name.

But Carl's sentence "You can't eat the weakest natural Devil Fruit, right?" But it suddenly angered this young man with strong blood.

Ace, who was originally polite, was first burned by Kiruno, and then taunted by Carl and stopped maintaining etiquette.

His right fist turned into a raging flame, and he slammed into Carl, who had just walked out of the captain's room, as if the anger in his heart had been condensed into substance.

"Even if you are the Four Emperors of Pirates, don't underestimate my 'Fire Fist' Ace...... Fire... Fist! ”

The scorching flames erupted above Ace's fist, and the raging flames turned into a flaming dragon, carrying the scorching heat and unstoppable momentum towards Carl on the deck.

"What's going on?"

Ace on the offensive noticed the crew on deck, none of them panicked, and some were even munching on fruit and smiling, as if they were onlookers.

Carl stood motionless, he raised his left hand, the blue rune on his arm lit up, and he actually caught Ace's "Fire Fist" with his bare hands!

"Domineering?!"

Ace was startled, but quickly calmed down again.

When he was in the Chambord Islands, he met a vice admiral of the Admiralty who had mastered the domineering power of the armed color, and Ace's flames could hardly hurt him in battle.

The lieutenant admiral's name was "Doro", and like the ghost spider and the red dog, he belonged to the hawkish generals in the navy.

But fortunately, Ace also awakened his armed domineering spirit in that battle, and in the end, he finally defeated Lieutenant General Dolo in a hard-fought way by relying on fist-to-flesh combat.

So Ace also has a certain understanding of domineering.

If the other party is a "Four Emperors", then it is indeed reasonable for the other party to use the "armed color domineering" to take over their own flames.

But Ace guessed wrong this time, Carl was not using any armed color domineering, but the power of the ghost god of "Saya of Ice Crystals".

The power of the blue ice crystal ghost god surrounded Carl's body, Carl grinned, and the cold ice condensed into substance gushed out in his left hand, turning into a cold ice dragon, devouring Ace's fire dragon in an instant, and even undiminished, biting Ace not far away.

Ace was taken aback and hurriedly jumped to dodge the attack of the "Ice Dragon".

He looked back at Carl angrily, only to find that Karl was waving his hand, as if he had no intention of continuing the fight.

Through this encounter alone, Carl had already judged Ace's current strength - slightly stronger than the average vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters.

If you encounter the level of "Tea Dolphin" and "Peach Rabbit", the current Ace has no chance of winning at all.

After all, Ace has only been at sea for less than a year, and he is not like Luffy Zoro, who is taught by two famous teachers, Reilly and Hawkeye.

His bounty has not yet reached the "550 million Bailey" in the original book.

Ace's strength has improved all by himself.

In fact, there are some details that Karl has long since forgotten.

If it weren't for seeing Saab in the newspaper, Ace's actions would not have been as anxious as they are now.

He was supposed to have traveled in the East China Sea for a year, gathering his companions before heading for the Great Voyage.

"Hey, ghost, what the hell do you mean? The beating was caused by your people, and now it's because of you that you don't want to fight, are you kidding me? ”

Although Ace stopped attacking, it is not difficult to see from his expression that Ace is not happy now... Very unhappy.

"Trick" is not enough, if you want to say "funny", Carl really wants to tease Ace.

It is now the year 1517 in the Lunar Calendar, Carl is 26 years old, and Ace is 17 years old.

In terms of age, Carl can be said to be Ace's predecessor.

In terms of strength, Ace in front of Carl is just like a more powerful child.

Carl naturally did not have the same solemnity as when facing Whitebeard, Kaido, and the three admirals, but was a little more playful.

"No, why should I fool you? I just saw that you were this year's pirate supernova and wanted to test your strength.

But now, it seems that with your strength, it will be quite difficult to survive freely on the sea of the new world. ”

Carl looked at Ace playfully, and Ace was uncomfortable.

Ace retorted, "I'm just not familiar with your abilities, that's why I suffered in battle." ”

The banter on Karl's face became even stronger: "Then you are really bold, you dare to bring a boatload of companions to the New World to challenge the Four Emperors without understanding the ability of the Four Emperors."

Even if you yourself are not afraid of death and can fight for your life for freedom, have you considered your companions? Aren't you afraid that they will die in the battle between your Spade Pirates and the Four Emperors? ”

Ace was stunned, a little unsure of how to answer Carl's question.

As the Spade Pirates approached the deck of the Shark, Vice Captain Dius said to Ace: "Ace, you don't have to think so much, just do what you want to do, everyone will fully support you." ”

The pirates on the Spade Pirates all shouted in response to the words of the vice-captain Dioce.

The Spade Pirates, like the Straw Hat Pirates, also follow the "Elite Pirates" route, and the companions on the ship are all found by Ace one by one in his adventures one after another.

There are people of all kinds on the ship, there are writers, there are teachers, there are collectors...... And they will also have a lot of things.

It's just that there are too few combatants, and except for Ace himself, no one else can even beat a rear admiral of the Navy Headquarters.

"Everybody......"

Ace looked back at his companion, his heart full of emotion.

His gaze was very gentle, as Vice-Captain Dius said, Ace was as warm as the sun.

Regarding the declaration of the Pirates of Spades, Karl was noncommittal.

Life is not only poetry and distance, but also the reluctance in front of you.

The sea of the New World will not let the Spade Pirates be naïve forever.

However, preaching is the privilege of the male protagonist of Riman, not Carl's hobby, so he changed the topic and said: "Ace, what did you just say you wanted to ask us?" ”

Ace suddenly came to his senses when he heard this, as if he had long forgotten Carl's taunt to him just now: "Mr. Karl, do you know Sabo?" Well, it's the guy in the newspaper. ”

Ace pulls out a cropped newspaper from his shorts pocket, and the photo shows Carl and Whitebeard shaking hands.

"Really, no matter how many times you watch it, it's still so handsome."

Frankie, who came out of nowhere, took the newspaper in Ace's hand and laughed: "This is a man's romance!" ”

The crew of the Spade Pirates stared at Frankie aboard the Shark with wide eyes, as if they had seen some rare species.

They thought that their captain who didn't like to wear shirts was strange enough, but they didn't expect that there would be no pants in the new world.

Well... Sure enough, people from the New World will play.

"Saab, of course I do."

Carl didn't take the newspaper that Ace had cropped, he had already guessed Ace's situation just by glancing at it.

"Are you trying to find me out about Saab's whereabouts?"

"Yes, yes, that's it."

Ace, who didn't have much hope, jumped directly in front of Carl excitedly after hearing the name "Sabo" come out of Carl's mouth, as if he had just won the first place in the competition and was expecting the teacher's praise, his eyes were full of hope.

"Mr. Karl, please tell me where Sabo is, you may not believe him, but he is my brother who was lost many years ago!"

"Hmmm......"

Carl is thinking about whether to tell Ace about Sabo's contact information, after all, Sabo has now lost his memory and joined the revolutionary army, and Ace is just a pirate.

But suddenly, a flash of inspiration crossed Carl's mind, and a bold idea full of bad taste came to his mind uncontrollably.

Carl was a whole head taller than Ace, he looked down at Ace's eyes full of expectation, and after a long time, he suddenly grinned and stretched out his right hand to Ace: "Ace, be my son!" ”

"Poof......

Even Luo, who has always been calm, couldn't help but squirt out the watermelon he had just chewed in his mouth after hearing Carl's words.

Isn't this the classic line of that Whitebeard, what the hell is he Carl doing today?

“…… Carry my name and roam freely on the seas of the New World! ”

“……”

Ace obviously didn't expect the "ghost" in front of him to suddenly come up with such a sentence.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't tell himself about Sabo's whereabouts, he says so...... Is it insulting yourself?

"Unforgivable, unforgivable......"

Ace's body couldn't help but tremble.

What he hated most in his life was the father who abandoned him and his mother, named "Gore Brown". D. Roger's "bastard."

The word "father" is the name of his Portcas. D. Ace's taboo.

Ace was originally an unruly man, how could he stand such an insult.

“…… Bastard, look down on people less! I'll kill you! Mirror Fire ......"

Ace roared hysterically.

Boom!

There was a muffled sound, and Ace was hit in the chest by Carl and flew upside down.

Karl stepped on Ace's waist, controlled Ace's movements, and said quietly: "There was once a captain and a princess who did not hesitate to bow down to the guards of a medical kingdom in order to treat their companions.

Can't you be Sabo's brother and do something for Sabo?

Besides, it's good for you and your companions to join us, at least from now on, your companions will definitely not have to worry about safety anymore. ”

The captain and princess Carl was talking about were naturally Luffy and Vivi, and the sick companion was Nami, the thief cat.

"It can't be!" Ace bared his teeth and growled, not knowing if it was because of pain or anger.

"Is it because of age?"

Carl coughed and persuaded: "Actually, you may not believe it, don't look at me like this, in fact, I am in my forties......

…… Little ghost, do you want to know the secret of my eternal youth? ”

"I'm not interested in knowing that kind of thing!"

Ace and Carl confronted each other.

The Spade Pirates' co-captain Dius also jumped onto the Shark, and there was no one on Carl's side to stop Dius's movements.

"Your Excellency the Ghost God!"

There was a hint of nervousness in Dioce's voice: "Ace was very polite to you and your companions at the beginning, and everyone saw this, it was your companion who provoked Ace first, and Ace fought back."

As a Four Emperors, you bully a rookie pirate like you do today for no reason, isn't that against your image? ”

"Hehe, are you reasoning with me?"

Carl looked at Dius, the overlord was slightly domineering, and the cold sweat immediately soaked Dius's back.

"In this sea of the New World, only the fist is the last word!

But what...... Luckily for you, I am indeed a reasonable person. Since the matter started because of me, then I will not pursue it. ”

Carl gets up, and Dius picks up the injured Ace.

Carl looked at Ace, who was glaring at him, and said with a smile: "I will give you a word before parting, for some reasons, I can't help you contact Sabo now."

But as long as you can try to survive, it won't be long before you can definitely meet Saab. ”

……

Four months later, the New World, the domain of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Behind him, Ace, who was seriously injured, was a raging sea of fire, and in front of him was a tall figure with his back to the sun.

The unruly Ace finally challenged Whitebeard, but the result was as fate would have failed.

Ace, who was half-kneeling on the ground, looked up tiredly, and he saw Whitebeard stretching out his right hand towards him, as if he was about to pull himself to his feet.

He didn't continue to attack himself?

Ace, who was physically and mentally exhausted, seemed to feel a trace of care in Whitebeard's body.

Looking at the tall figure, Ace, who had already given up resistance, stretched out his hand.

"Ace, be my son, bear my name, and roam freely on the sea of the New World!"

Ace: "......"

Whitebeard: "......"

Ace was stunned, and so was Whitebeard.

Whitebeard didn't know why Ace's hand froze in place.

Ace's blood surged up for a while, and he was resurrected on the spot as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.

Ace: "I'm going to...!! ”

Whitebeard: "??? ”
