The most courageous pirate hunter

The air rippled.

Ace raised his right hand, and rings of flames gathered and spread across the ground, eventually converging in mid-air. This fireball was larger than the previous one.

Lucci did not sit idly by and wait for his death. His right hand began to emit a blazing light, and a sun was rising.

"Great Flame Ring - Flame Emperor".

"Six Styles of Secret Techniques: The Fist of the King".

It vanished in an instant.

The two collided at point-blank range, the world fell silent, and then endless light rose into the sky, transforming into a vast mushroom cloud that swept around the three halos and pushed horizontally.

puff~

Both Ace and Lucci coughed up blood and immediately transformed into streaks of light, flying away and piercing through barren mountains before lying in the rubble, bleeding profusely.

The most central.

A large crater appeared, filled with churning crimson lava.

"interesting."

As he crawled out of the ruins, Lu Qi spat out the blood from his mouth, and crackling sounds came from his body as his broken bones and flesh rapidly healed.

This injury is nothing to him; it will only take him a few more seconds at most.

With the awakened Devil Fruit and the Life Return ability, unless he is instantly killed, he can quickly recover even if he is left with only a breath of life, just like an unkillable cockroach.

However, Lucci was quite surprised.

In just over half a year, the opponent has grown to this level. He truly lives up to his Gol D. Roger bloodline. But if that's all, then he's determined to get the Flame-Flame Fruit.

Chapter 384 [Everyone's Calling for Help]

Puff puff~

Orange-red flames continued to erupt as Ace crawled out of the lava, his hands braced on the ground as he coughed up blood. His face was contorted with rage and veins bulged; he had actually been at a disadvantage in the previous clash.

Sensing the other party's rapid recovery, his eyes were filled with resentment.

“You have inherited your biological father’s talent. In just over half a year, you have grown to this level. If you are given more time, you will definitely be at the top of the pyramid.”

The farthest place.

Lu Qi flew horizontally, three feet off the ground. From a distance, he looked like a humanoid leopard flying upright. Combined with the flashy sparks, high-temperature steam, and dark flame clouds, it looked particularly eerie and terrifying.

As for the point about flying three feet off the ground, it is actually an extension of the Moon Step technique at a high level. Because the feet step on the air so fast that it is invisible to the naked eye, it looks as if the feet are not moving.

Most of the Six Styles masters know this move.

It's not new.

Especially in this era, there is no shortage of geniuses, which means that the ability to fly is no longer the only ability of some bird and beast Devil Fruit users.

of course.

This technique is not capable of long-distance flight.

Those who can fly across the sea are the ones with bird and beast abilities.

“I didn’t want to get involved with that guy before, but now I have to admit that he gave me so much.”

"But now I carry the Whitebeard Pirates on my shoulders!"

Ace stood up.

He stopped avoiding the man and openly admitted it.

Whether it's bloodline, talent, or connections, without that man, he wouldn't have been able to get to this point in such a short time. It's precisely because of these things that he has the ability to protect.

Gol D. Roger was his father, and Edward Newgate was also his father.

"I'm curious, what gave you the right to refuse to pay me in the first place?"

"Is it because the Whitebeard Pirates and the remnants of the Roger Pirates have joined forces, or do they believe that Monarch is incapable of destroying you?"

Lucci stood three meters away from Ace.

His indifferent face revealed no emotion whatsoever.

"You're pushing your luck too far, and besides, the Emperor Organization isn't invincible."

Ace's tone was cold.

Others fear imperial organizations, but he does not.

Neither the Whitebeard Pirates nor the Roger Pirates are afraid.

"Hahaha~"

Lucci laughed wildly, then stopped wasting his breath and disappeared after he finished laughing.

At the same time, Ace disappeared from his spot. Immediately afterwards, a collision sound rang out thirty meters away. Ace punched a large foot. With an explosion on the spot, a flash of fire and a blur appeared in mid-air. The two elbows collided to create distance, and then continued to collide and rise higher.

The more Lucci fought, the more alarmed he became.

He found that the other party could always detect his movements, which was very abnormal.

Although he is not good at Observation Haki, his Observation Haki strength is among the best. Logically speaking, it should be impossible for his opponent to detect his movements every time.

Lucci was very confident in his close-quarters combat skills.

Most people couldn't counter his moves, but Ace could.

Damn it.

As time went by, Lucci's expression grew increasingly grim.

"Six Styles of Profound Techniques - Maximum Wheel - Six Kings Spear".

"Super Fire Fist".

Pop!

A deafening explosion sent everything flying into the air, the immense force shattering everything in its path. Both of them coughed up blood and were sent flying, neither looking unwell. Strictly speaking, Ace was at a disadvantage.

Because he doesn't have Lucci's terrifying regenerative abilities.

He will definitely lose in the end.

"hateful."

The scattered rubble continued to melt, and Ace climbed out of it, looking terrible. He had given it his all, but saw no hope of defeating his opponent.

Look up.

The other party was walking towards them step by step, and both their aura and injuries were recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, even to a frightening degree. Are Zoan-type Devil Fruit users really that scary?

If it were the previous tyrannical king, he would already be riddled with wounds by now.

Unlike Lucci, who seemed completely unaffected, at most spitting out some blood and then wasting a little time before being fine.

How to fight this?

The key issue is that he also lacks the ability to kill his opponent with a single blow.

another side.

The battle between Oolong and Vista has also reached a fever pitch. Both of them are injured and neither has gained an advantage. It seems that it will not be decided for another day or two.

But Vista was in a bit of a hurry.

He realized that Lucci had attacked Ace and hoped that Ace could hold out until reinforcements arrived. Once the reinforcements arrived, not only would the Blackbeard Pirates lose two admirals, but they would also be able to capture the killing weapon and then completely eradicate the Monarch organization, this cancer of the sea.

that's it.

The fighting between the two sides continued.

"Cuckoo~"

On a hilltop.

Hadori watched Lucci and Ace fight, his round little eyes gleaming with intelligence. At his feet, the Great Bear King lay on the ground, barely breathing, too weak to even run away.

"Bulu Bulu~"

Think about it.

Hadori stretched out his wings and rummaged through his suit. When he pulled it out, he was surprised to find a tiny Den Den Mushi. It looked like the Den Den Mushi was not yet an adult and was clearly sleeping with its eyes still half-closed.

That petite figure suits Hadori quite well.

Hadori forcefully woke up the mini Den Den Mushi and skillfully dialed the video call.

Not a moment later.

A lazy, large face appeared.

"Cuckoo~"

"BOSS."

Hadori stretched out his wings and waved hello.
