The person is wearing a straw hat, and starts with the power of words!

41. Ace's iconic scene! The sickly older brother's...

Is it embarrassing for a user of the Mist-Mist Fruit to be choked by their own smoke when using their ability?

Do not!

And there's something even more embarrassing!

Using the Mist-Mist Fruit will allow you to absorb the smoke yourself!

then,

Smoker, who was exchanging firepower with Ace, was shocked to discover that the smoke he was shooting out seemed to have a mind of its own, breaking free from his control and rushing into his mouth and nose, like a heavy addict frantically inhaling.

"Cough, cough, cough—"

The smoke was too thick and plentiful, and he eventually choked.

But this time, holding his breath was useless, because the smoke spontaneously rushed into his mouth and nose, even squeezing out all the air and suffocating him.

Helpless

Smoker could only activate his elemental form, which would prevent him from suffocating, but his elemental body rolled back and surged into his mouth and nose, obscuring his vision and preventing him from seeing his surroundings.

This created a vicious cycle.

Without activating elementalization, one will suffocate.

Activating elementalization will then trap you within your own abilities.

Last time, at least Smoker could use physical techniques, but this time he was even more unsolvable, leaving him standing there as punishment.

That’s very embarrassing!

"Damn it! Demon Slayer, if you have the guts, let me go and let's have a fair fight!" Smoker roared in a fit of impotence.

Sima Di picked at his ear, not even wanting to acknowledge him.

Ace, who was standing to the side, was dumbfounded!

"This... a devil nemesis? A devil fruit user nemesis?" Ace scratched his head.

That's a really strange Devil Fruit ability.

However, Sima Di was a crew member of his younger brother Luffy, so Ace didn't pay much attention to it.

"My brother must have caused you both a lot of trouble, right?" Ace bowed deeply. "Thank you both for your help. Please take good care of Luffy in the future!"

Robin was taken aback by this sudden display of politeness.

Sima Di also found it fascinating.

Since Sabo went missing, Ace has learned Sabo's gentle and polite side.

This is unique to...

[Ding! Congratulations on signing in to the famous scene "Ace's Gentleness!", you have received the sign-in reward "The Mangekyou Sharingan of the Morbid Brother Uchiha Itachi"]

----------

"The Mangekyou Sharingan of the Sickly Brother Uchiha Itachi"

----------

Oh open?

Who would have thought that the polite Ace would also be a memorable scene?

And the rewards are quite generous!

"Seriously, Ace, I'm not a bother at all!" Luffy grumbled. "I'm the captain! I'm the one taking care of them!"

"Judging from your willful words, I can tell you've caused a lot of trouble in the past," Ace said knowingly.

That's why he's Luffy's brother; he understands him so well.

"Let's go," Robin warned. "The Navy is about to surround us."

"Alright, let's meet up first." Emperor Sima pointed to the sky.

【Cherry blossom tree!】

A spark flew from his fingertips, exploding in the air into a dazzling cherry blossom tree firework.

This is the agreed-upon signal to rendezvous with Zoro and the others; it's time for the second team to set off.

As for Vivi and the others...

As a member of this country, Vivi has no right to be bullied by the navy on her own soil.

"Come with me."

Sima Di used telekinesis to fly Luffy, while he himself carried Robin and flew towards the direction where the Going Merry was docked.

Ace also transformed into flames and followed.

As Emperor Sima departed...

The Word of Power that had been applied to Smoker dissipated, the uncontrolled smoke returned to normal, revealing his gloomy face.

"Demon Slayer! I will arrest you myself!" Smoker said through gritted teeth.

to this end,

He has made up his mind to train his physical skills properly and no longer rely too much on his Devil Fruit ability.

—This is something even the Navy's chief instructor, Zephyr, couldn't do, yet a pirate accomplished it.

Sima Di was unaware that he was being targeted by Smoker. At that moment, he landed on the deck of the Going Merry with Sanji, whom he had met along the way, and a large amount of food.

"Thank goodness I ran into you on the way, otherwise most of these ingredients would have had to be thrown away." Sanji said with a jealous look in his eyes, "But please be sure to let me carry Robin! Otherwise, you'll be working too hard."

Ok!

So that's what they've got their eye on.

but......

“You’ll have to ask Robin for his opinion,” Sima Di shrugged.

This woman came to me of her own accord; it wasn't me who initiated it.

Robin chuckled and said, "Although Sanji-kun also feels very safe, Shiba-chan's embrace is even warmer."

Ok!

Is this the difference in treatment between a "simp" and a "male god"?

Sanji, looking dejected, went to put away the ingredients.

"Brother Sima, what is your Devil Fruit ability?" Ace asked curiously.

"The Word-Power Devil Fruit, to some extent, makes one's words become law," Sima Di said casually.

"What a convenient ability," Ace remarked.

Sima Di had been hearing this assessment a lot lately, but hadn't paid much attention to it.

At this time,

Nami and Zoro also arrived, but a large group of Marine soldiers followed behind them, led by "Glasses Girl" Tashigi.

—As the only navigator, Nami naturally had to stay with the ship and the second squad.

not only that,

A large number of ships flying the Baroque Works flag appeared at sea, clearly unaware that Vivi had left the Straw Hat Pirates and had come to silence her.

A pincer attack from both sides, this is getting interesting!

A pincer attack from both sides, this is getting interesting!

There's something good to watch!

Emperor Sima stood with his arms crossed, showing no intention of making a move.

as predicted,

Ace laughed and said, "Luffy, choose one side and let's see who's faster."

"Alright! I'm going!"

Luffy took the lead and charged towards the pursuing Marine camp—he could perform better on land than on the sea.

This surprised Zoro and Nami, who were unaware of the situation!

"Hurry! There's still time to set sail!" Nami shouted.

But Luffy had already swept past the two like the wind, heading straight for Tashigi and the other Marines, and even activated "Gear Second" midway through.
