Chapter 90: Fighting Fires
"......" Ian didn't know what to say at this time.
Ace's out-of-control fire punch would actually hit the city's storage warehouse, which Ian didn't expect at all.
He thought it was just an ordinary building.
Especially after hearing from these local residents that it was actually food to be paid as a tribute to BIGMOM, Ian felt bad.
BIGMOM likes to eat sweets, and this honey barbecue on Bibiko Island is a wonderful dessert, Ian also ate a lot when he was with Bill before, it is indeed good, so he can figure out why this island can obtain shelter through tribute food, although Ian does not know how to transport food from the first half of the Great Voyage to the new world in the second half, but he thinks that there should be some special way to store food.
And the building that is currently on fire is the hope for peace on this Bibiko Island, and it is with these tribute foods that the people of the island will not be disturbed by pirates.
But now, because of Ace, that building is on fire!
Although Ace didn't mean it, the cause of the fire was caused by him.
Ace, this guy, probably caused a lot of trouble, so after seeing that the warehouse was burned this time, his first reaction was to want to escape.
However, Ian knew the seriousness of the matter, grabbed him by the collar and said, "What are you running?" Follow me to put out the fire! ”
"Why?" Ace was a little puzzled.
Ian shook his head and said, "The matter started because of us, we can walk away, but if the things in the warehouse are burned, the people on this island will be wiped out!" The Four Emperors' BIGMOM can't get the dessert she wants, and she will be angry on this island, and she will ruin this island! ”
"What are the Four Emperors? Isn't it amazing? Ace was stunned for a moment: "Who is BIGMOM?" ”
The members of the Spade Pirates were quite speechless, Ace had been on this island for almost a month, and he hadn't even studied what the pirate flag was on the island?
So they hurriedly explained to Ace, and when Ace heard that even the world government didn't dare to provoke the Four Emperors easily, his eyes immediately widened.
This was the first time that Ace had left the impression of the Four Emperors in his heart.
"That's it!" Ian said with a serious expression: "The inhabitants of the island are innocent, and we can't let them suffer disasters because of us, so we have to go and put out the fire and help them!" ”
Ace nodded, he wanted to run away before, it was because he didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, when he understood, he would naturally take his responsibility.
From this point of view, Ace and Luffy are the same, they are not really pirates.
Ian didn't care about Pixar who was killed by him, although it was a bounty of more than 20 million, but Ian still didn't know where the naval branch on the nearest route was, Pixar was dirty and ugly, and if he took him on the road, it would be too embarrassing, so Ian could only give up for the time being, planning to put out the fire first.
Running all the way with Ace and the members of the Spade Pirates, Ian saw a large number of local residents along the way with panicked faces, and also rushed to put out the fire, whether adults or children, they all had buckets of water in their hands, and they didn't think about whether it would be dangerous to put out the fire.
On the contrary, a large number of pirates have fled!
Yes, escape! The news of the warehouse on fire has spread to the entire Bibi Ko Island, and when they heard that the burning building turned out to be a warehouse for storing tribute food, the pirates immediately keenly felt the seriousness of this matter, once the warehouse was seriously damaged, when the BIGMOM pirates arrived, the island might be over! Out of the principle of self-preservation, the pirates didn't even think about it, and hurried to escape from this place.
They didn't want to run into the Four Emperors' pirates......
Hordes of pirates flock to the harbor, boarding their ships and setting sail out of the harbor, showing no nostalgia for the island that gives them a culinary delight.
The contrast between the locals fighting the fire and the pirates fleeing without looking back is a stark sight that makes Ian shake his head.
At that time, when I watched Ace's flames fly out, I didn't feel anything, and when I actually ran over, Ian found that the location of the building was quite far away, and ran all the way forward, and when Ian passed an alley, he just ran over and suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Ace asked him.
"Wait a minute!" Ian turned around and ran back to the mouth of the alley, and when he passed by here, he seemed to see something in the alley out of the corner of his eye.
When Ian ran in to take a look, he found Roland Gale's body.
Ace followed him and walked in, saying, "I remember, this is where I bumped into that porcupine man...... Hey, is this guy dead? ”
"Hmm!" Ian answered, walked over and crouched down, picking up something next to Roland Gale's body.
It was the permanent pointer of Alabastan, the glass of the pointer just now reflected the light, which made Ian notice this dark alley, but Ian didn't expect that what he saw when he came in was Roland Gale, who was unwilling to die with his eyes open.
There were several stingers stuck in his body, which had penetrated his body and were the cause of his death, needless to say, it must have been that Pixar's doing.
Connecting the events before and after, Ian immediately understood why Roland Gale died here.
Roland Gale may have been the first to get the Burnt Fruit, but unfortunately, he didn't become a natural powerhouse, and he lost his life because of it.
This made Ian sigh at the wonder of fate, if Roland Gale had taken a bite out of curiosity when he got the Devil Fruit, maybe there would be no more "Fire Fist Ace" in this world.
It is said that character determines fate, which is still very reasonable, Roland Gale, as a nobleman, did not dare to try because of the strange appearance of the Devil Fruit, so he missed an opportunity to become a strong man, not to mention, and lost his life for it, and Ace, a foodie, didn't care about anything, and after he bumped into someone and picked up the Devil Fruit, he directly took it as a fruit after a meal and ran away...... So I had the last laugh.
This incident tells us that those who pretend to be elegant die on the road of pretending to be elegant, and only foodies are the darlings of fate......
Although he didn't see the specific situation at that time, Ian still deduced the cause and effect of this incident, he picked up the permanent pointer and put it in his pocket, and said to Roland Gale, who was not blind: "Alas, although I hate a nobleman like you, killing Pixar can be regarded as avenging you, and as for your permanent pointer, I also took it, so take it as a reward!" ”
Standing up, Ian said to Ace, "Let's go, hurry up and put out the fire!" ”
Ace nodded, glanced at Roland Gale on the ground, didn't say anything, and ran after Ian with his hat.
The group ran for a while, and finally came to the location of the warehouse.
At this time, the fire in the warehouse was getting bigger and bigger, and the side that was hit by Ace's flames was already completely burning.
Ace's fire fist at that time, when it flew far away and just hit the warehouse, it was only ignited with some flammable materials, but it was very unfortunate that there were a large number of volcanic stones in this warehouse.
Although this is a place to store honey barbecue, in fact, it is also a place to make barbecue, and the residents of Bibiko Island have stored a lot of volcanic stones at the bottom of this warehouse, and then placed various foods with honey sauce on a high place, one is to bake them slowly, and the other is to keep warm, and when the time comes, when the people of the BIGMOM Pirates come to pick up the food, take it out at the most suitable temperature.
When the warehouse caught fire, the temperature of the flames combined with the heat emitted by the volcanic stone suddenly became uncontrollable!
Local residents, waiters, cooks, restaurateurs, and some naval soldiers were among them, all of whom gathered here at this time, lining up in long lines to pass buckets for the people in front to pour the water out, while several water trucks were also spraying water cannons at the burning warehouse, and everyone was working hard to put out the fire, and everyone knew what the burning down of the warehouse meant to the island, so no one dared to slack off.
If this trend continues, they will indeed be able to extinguish the fire, but when they put out the fire, they don't know when it will go, and maybe the fire will be saved and the warehouse will be destroyed.
Seeing this scene, Ian said to Ace: "Ace, try it and see if you can control these flames!" ”
"Me? Manipulate these flames? Ace was a little stunned.
"yes, let's try it!" Ian didn't know if this method would work, he hadn't heard of whether a natural ability could control the same natural energy in the outside world, but it was better to let Ace try it.
If he could control the flames to be transferred or absorbed, the fire would have been extinguished very quickly.
Ian also knew that this was a bit embarrassing for Ace, after all, he had just obtained the ability to burn fruits, and he couldn't even control his own strength, let alone the energy of the outside world.
But Ian can't help it, the only thing he can count on is Ace, after eating the burning fruit, Ace has become a fire man, it can be said that he knows the most about flames, that is, he, who is not on him?
