The most courageous pirate hunter

Just as the Great Bear King was laughing heartily, preparing to unleash his grand ambitions, the entire tavern began to twist and writhe, and a huge face appeared on the roof, looking extremely terrifying.

The laughter stopped abruptly.

The three bear kings' expressions changed drastically, and they almost blurted out, "The wicked king Avaro Pissaro."

"Damn it."

"How could they catch up so quickly?"

"withdraw."

The Great Bear King's entire right arm turned to steel, then glowed crimson with intense heat, turning his entire right arm a deep red, like a red-hot branding iron. This was his unique attack method.

By heating steel, a destructive power far beyond imagination can be achieved.

At this moment, the entire tavern writhed and transformed into a gigantic humanoid tavern monster, raising its arm, formed from the beams and walls, and smashing it down towards the three Great Bear Kings.

Chapter 378 [Fire Fist Ace Stands Up]

"Iron Fist".

Faced with the sudden attack of the Evil King, the Great Bear King did not panic. His entire right arm turned into steel and then burned with Haki as fuel, causing his entire right arm to burn with raging flames, like a red-hot branding iron, which he then blasted towards the Evil King.

boom! ! !

A wave of intense heat swept across the area.

The entire tavern exploded instantly, and the wicked king who was attached to it disappeared. For a moment, only the Great Bear King stood in the sea of ​​fire.

Outside on the street, both Sweet Queen and Skunk looked grim, for before them stood a drunken man carrying a large wine jug, wearing a clown-like hat, with a prominent, large sausage nose.

Basque Chote, a large wine brand.

One of the fleet captains under the command of the Four Emperors, Marshall Teach.

damn it.

Not only was the tyrannical king hunting them down, but also a great wine connoisseur, Basque Jotte.

"Cuckoo~"

Chote gulped down several mouthfuls of strong liquor, let out a burp, staggered a few steps, looked at the pale-faced Sweet Queen and Skunk, and drunkenly said, "If you run again, I'll burn you to death."

"Jote, it would be such a waste to kill such a beauty. The admiral wants the Iron-Steel Fruit. As for this Paste-Paste Fruit, it's completely useless, meow. I'm still missing a maid."

The earth trembled.

The surrounding streets began to crack, and a strangely shaped stone giant rose from the ground, blocking out the sunlight and revealing an extremely sinister smile.

The face attached to it clearly indicates that it is the wicked king.

"Damn it, is this the power of the Island-Island Fruit?"

Sweet Queen and Skunk are under immense pressure.

When they challenged the Blackbeard Pirates again, they had done their research. At the time, they didn't know the abilities of the Evil King and Great Sage Jot. It was only during the battle that the two revealed them to each other.

Among them, the Evil King is a Paramecia-type user of the Island-Island Fruit. As can be seen from the name of this Devil Fruit, he has the ability to control islands.

In some ways, it is similar to Pica's Stone-Stone Fruit.

However, the Evil King can control everything on the island, while the Stone-Stone Fruit can only control stones. The difference is significant, which means that the Evil King is invincible as long as he is on the island.

Unless the island is destroyed.

The ability of Basque Jolt is the Paramecia-type Sake-Sake Fruit, which is related to alcohol. Jolt rarely fights, so his specific abilities are still unknown.

"Just the two of you? Aren't you underestimating me, the Great Bear King?"

The figure flashed.

The Great Bear King appeared before Sweet Queen and Skunk using Shave. His eyes were full of ferocity as he looked at the Evil King and Great Sake Jot. If there were three fleet captains, he might think twice, but if there were only two, he wouldn't back down at all.

As a daring new generation member and one of the best among them, he possesses the Six Powers and two types of Haki, and his Devil Fruit has awakened. No matter how you look at it, there is no reason to be afraid.

So the Great Bear King was still somewhat restless.

He was confident that he could take down the Evil King and the Great Smoker Jot here, making the Blackbeard Pirates pay a price.

"How arrogant, meow."

The wicked king opened his blood-red maw, then raised his enormous arm and smashed it down on the three bear kings like Mount Tai crashing down—simple, violent, and full of oppressive force.

Facing this attack, the Great Bear King snorted coldly, his thick, powerful feet stomping heavily on the ground. In an instant, the area within a radius of several hundred meters began to turn into steel, and a steel pillar rose from the ground, wrapped in domineering aura, and thus directly confronted the stone giant possessed by the Evil King.

The powerful collision kicked up a cloud of sand, and Sweet Queen and Skunk retreated one after another, as did Jot.

"That's why I hate Devil Fruit Awakeners the most, meow."

Seeing that the Great Bear King had firmly blocked his attack, the Evil King was very displeased.

But I have to admit that this new generation is quite skilled. He might not be able to defeat him by himself. Damn it, it's all the Hunter King's fault. If it weren't for the Hunter King, these new generation members wouldn't have grown so terrifying.

Meanwhile, Jotte also made a move against Sweet Queen and Skunk.

at the same time.

Not far from Iiji Island, a pirate ship was rapidly approaching the island. Judging from the pirate flag it was flying, it was the Whitebeard Pirates.

“Ace, this time when we reclaimed Iijima, our father told us to use peaceful means as much as possible. The island didn’t fare well under the rule of the Blackbeard Pirates.”

on the deck.

Vista adjusted his top hat and spoke to the man next to him who was eating watermelon.

Compared to the Ace of the past, the current Ace appears more composed and reserved. His aura can now be perfectly concealed, and there is a faint sense of etherealness about him.

Like the gentle spring breeze that nature provides.

Also.

Ace is already recognized as Whitebeard's successor, and can even be considered the vice-captain. He is just waiting for Whitebeard to pass away or step down, and then he will become the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Don't worry, I know."

Ace chopped off half a watermelon and gave it to Vista, grinning from ear to ear.

She remains as carefree as ever, but her inner strength has grown immensely.

Just as Vista took the watermelon, Ace's expression froze. He stood up and looked in the direction of Iijima, his gaze gradually turning gloomy and filled with murderous intent.

"what happened?"

Bista was somewhat taken aback.

"Iijisha Island has been invaded; it still feels familiar."

"Speed ​​ahead."

Ace heard the sound in the wind, and the closer it got, the clearer it became. Since escaping Monarch, he had been training diligently under the tutelage of Rayleigh, Jabba, and others.

Both Devil Fruits and the three types of Haki have received a comprehensive upgrade.

He even easily mastered the Conqueror's Haki Entanglement technique, but his greatest progress was in the special ability to hear the voice of all things, a power belonging to that man.

When he mastered the ability to hear the voices of all things, he felt the world was different.

The clarity and activity were unprecedented; whether it was plants and animals, stones and rivers, or white clouds and gentle breezes, each had its own unique voice.

That feeling is amazing.

It's like talking to an elf.

"A familiar scent?"

Vista was somewhat taken aback, because there was no sign of Iijima here at all, and he couldn't detect anything even when he used his Observation Haki. Yet Ace not only sensed Iijima, but could also feel the presence of the enemies above.

He was not jealous.

On the contrary, I'm happy for Ace. With such powerful Observation Haki, Ace will be able to advance and retreat with confidence in any battle in the future, which will greatly enhance his combat power and survivability.

No wonder he's a descendant of Gol D. Roger.

Like father, like son.

In just over half a year, they were able to catch up with others who had been ahead of them for several years.

"The Tyrant King and the Great Wine Jotte, Teach's men."

Ace closed his eyes, carefully sensed the situation, and then opened them to accurately state that the Whitebeard Pirates and the Blackbeard Pirates had been engaged in small-scale battles from time to time over the past six months.

Ace improved so much because he practiced in real combat under the protection of Rayleigh and others, including using members of the Blackbeard Pirates as practice targets.

Otherwise, progress wouldn't have been so rapid.

Therefore, he was particularly sensitive to the presence of the Blackbeard Pirates. Moreover, Ace had sworn in his heart that he would make Teach pay the price, and things like killing his comrades and betraying his father were unforgivable.

Are there only two people?

"There's an unfamiliar aura, but it's certain they're not members of the Blackbeard Pirates."

Ace also sensed the presence of the Great Bear King, but he didn't know who it was.

"Just to be on the safe side, let's inform Marco and the others that we'll go to the island first."
