Somewhere in the windless zone of the first half of the Great Voyage sits the famous daughter country, Amazon Lili, and today, as usual, once again ushered in the triumph of the Nine Snake Pirates.

"Snake Princess, welcome back safely!" At the entrance of the Nine Snakes Island, there were two rows of national protectors standing neatly, and they looked particularly sassy with thin snakes around their waists.

"Hmm." The empress was obviously a little absent-minded, and looked at the guards beside her, "How is that person?" ”

"Yes, Serpent-sama." Hearing a trace of worry in the empress's words, the female warrior was a little puzzled, but since it was the empress's order, she naturally couldn't disobey it. "The sisters put the man in the water tank, and it's okay for the time being, just throw him into the lake in the middle of the island, just ······"

"Just what?" Seeing her subordinates spitting and spitting, the empress was a little impatient.

"You insist on bringing the man to the island, if Granny New knows······"

"Don't put that person's name in front of the concubine!" The empress's domineering instantly suppressed the other party and couldn't move, "It's just the last emperor who once gave up the country, you have to remember that now the concubine is the emperor of the nine snakes!" ”

"Yes······ Yes. The guard was already sweating profusely, and the empress's anger was beyond her means.

"Hmph." The Empress brushed her sleeves away, ignoring the guard who was still kneeling in place.

And at this moment, on the Golden Noah parked in the port of Nine Snake Island, all the people surrounded Ace who was immersed in the water tank, although he was still weak now, but he finally got rid of the pain that hurt his bone marrow for the time being, and his mind was a little clear.

It's a big game this time······ Ace looked at his current state, and he had no other expression other than a wry smile.

"Well, Mr. Ace, are you feeling okay now?" The mermaid girl named Lingling asked with concern, from the moment they were brought to the entire island by the Nine Snake Pirates, they already knew the ins and outs of the matter, and they were very grateful to Ace and his gang for this.

"Feelings? How could it be good······" For those with Devil Fruit abilities, the sea water was their nightmare, but now it has become Ace's life-saving talisman.

It's ironic, Ace, who is immersed in the water all over his body, can't even exert the slightest strength, but if he comes out of the water, it is estimated that he will immediately fall into the water in pain······

"Ace, what's wrong with you? Why did it suddenly become like this, and how did your flame turn purple? As soon as she saw Ace wake up, Yuna immediately asked with concern.

Seeing that everyone looked puzzled, Ace shook his head "forcefully" and said weakly, "I don't know what this is all about, but at that moment, the body seemed to be forcibly distorted by some force, and the whole person couldn't use his strength, and his mind was even more messy, as if he had lost the ability to think." ”

"How could it be ······" Yuna muttered distractedly, she didn't even know the reason, so how to treat it now? Morgan stroked his tightly bandaged right hand and looked at Grace, who gave him a determined look.

"Let the concubine tell you." Just when everyone fell silent, the empress arrived, and she who had changed her clothes looked even more amorous, "Your body has two different qi conflicting, although I don't know what's going on, but now, it's really endangering your life." ”

"Two ······ Different gas? Everyone was said by the empress, and they all frowned, but Ace had some understanding, after all, in his impression, this kind of thing had happened a lot, although some were perfectly solved, and some died violently······

The empress quietly stepped aside, picked up Qiushui leaning against the wall, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Domineering is indispensable, but your other qi is very similar to the feeling on this knife." ”

"It's ghostly!" Brooke immediately shouted loudly, "I should have thought that only ghosts would be so domineering." ”

"Is that why······ Ace, throw the knife away, it's too dangerous to go on like this! Yuna was already saying to Ace with a pleading look, after all, a demon knife like Qiushui, which even harms its owner, is too hurtful, and no one can predict when this time bomb will explode.

"No······" Even though he was weak, Ace tried his best to sit up straight, "This should be Qiushui's test to see if I am qualified to be its master······ Hmph, since they have all been written by the autumn water, it is too spineless to give up halfway! ”

"My life is gone, what kind of backbone are I talking about!" The anxious Anilu walked towards the empress, wanting to take the autumn water away, "Since you don't want to, then let me throw it away!" ”

The empress's eyes were horizontal, and she jumped back, "It's better for the parties to decide this kind of thing······ Besides, do you really think that just throw the knife away and you'll be fine? ”

"What do you mean?" When the empress said this, Anilu, who was originally ready to rob her, suddenly stopped, after all, she had already had an experience before, and the empress in front of them was not the kind of woman who had no purpose.

"The concubine body has already said that the ghost qi that invaded his body has now become mixed with domineering, and he can't force it out of his body if he wants to, this knife is just an introduction." Salome curled up in a ball, and the empress sat down.

"But, why are the people who had autumn water before all right, but Ace is ······?"

"Hmph, that's the key." The empress flicked the hem of her skirt, and the guard behind her immediately served the tea in her hand respectfully, "Who told him to be smart, but he wants to use his domineering as a combustible, and now the flames in his body are almost closely related to domineering, but the arrival of this ghost qi has broken this balance." ”

The flame that was originally fueled by pure domineering was mixed with ghost qi in the middle, to put it bluntly, in the eyes of domineering, ghost qi is impurity. It's like forcibly mixing oxygen and hydrogen together, and the end result is an explosion!

"In that case, it would be nice to separate the two······ But how? Doda scratched his head, and his face was abrupt.

The empress glared at him and said dissatisfiedly, "The concubine body said it at the beginning, but now the two in his body are entangled, and they can't be separated at all." ”

"What then? Do you just watch the captain wait for death? Anilu looked at the Empress, and it seemed to him that only the woman standing in front of him had a way.

"The concubine doesn't mean that she can't be saved······" The empress looked at Ace with a complicated face, "There is a way, but ······"

"But what?" Now it is a matter of human life, and the empress's attitude is very annoying.

"There is only one way to heal your captain······ That is, let the concubine use the domineering energy of the overlord color to disperse all the domineering and ghost qi in his whole body and expel it from the body, but the consequence of doing so is ······ Domineering is all lost! The empress hesitated a little and said the countermeasures she had come up with, as the emperor of the domineering paradise Nine Snake Island, she understood the importance of domineering to a person better than anyone else, and no one wanted her domineering spirit to dissipate after years of penance.

"Domineering······ Total loss !! When this sentence came out of the empress's mouth, everyone froze in place and looked at Ace in disbelief.

"The concubine has said the method, and it is your choice whether to use it or not." The empress's beautiful face was full of sadness, and she didn't want to see the fall of a supernova.

"Ace ······" Yuna looked at the other party worriedly, after all, either choice was extremely cruel to him.

"Let me be alone for a while······

······

That night, Ace was taken to the central lake of Nine Snake Island, and let the waterfall on the mountain wash his body, and his arrogant and presumptuous figure on weekdays seemed so lonely in this quiet night.

Caressing the chrysanthemum in his hand, Ace couldn't help but smile bitterly, remembering that after he got Hatsune, he had the ability to "listen to the sound of all things", and now Qiushui brought himself a ghost, although his ability has been improved again, but this price is too expensive······ I still remember the despair of my right hand and chest that seemed to be torn apart by countless claws, and my whole body was about to collapse when the two qi in my body were violently discharged······

"Qiushui, Qiushui, you are really good, you actually gave me such a problem!" In fact, Ace also knew that this was entirely the reason why his domineering strength was not enough, if his domineering strength could be strong enough to be at the same level as the empress, this kind of ghost spirit would have been dispelled by his domineering spirit long ago.

"No matter what, now, I'm going to ······ See you! ”

Placing the two knives side by side on his knees, Ace entered a meditative state, and after a long time, Ace's eyes were bright, just like the previous galaxy, this is his consciousness space.

"Brother-in-law······"

The only thing that can be so clingy is Hatsune······ After receiving a warm hug from the other party, the steam on Ace's head gushed out.

"It's been a long time, it's lonely to be alone." Ace said apologetically, although Hatsune is just a sword spirit, she is still just a cardamom girl, and it is too cruel to live in such an empty consciousness space all day long.

"Uh-huh······" Hatsune shook her head and said happily, "Hatsune is not lonely, because there is a master who accompanies Hatsune at any time!" ”

"Is it······" Gently stroking the other party's hair, Ace felt an inexplicable relief, probably only when facing Hatsune could make him so relaxed.

"And ······"

"And?"

"Hatsune has a new sister, so happy to say ······"

New sisters? It won't be ······

Before Ace could stop his thoughts, a figure had already come to him and Hatsune's side.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time, master."

The body is slender, the complexion is slightly pale, and there are double ponytails of different lengths on the left and right, a black trench coat, and a blue flame that can't stop beating in his left eye······
