The gourmet among pirates

Although these white-robed men were all dressed in neat white robes, under the white robes, the withered, thin, starving figures made Ace's eyes widen.

He seemed to be wondering why these guys in front of him, who looked like they had never had enough to eat, were blocking him.

Moreover, they are all so thin, why are they still wearing that white robe?

Have money to buy that flashy white robe.

Can't we spend the money to eat something good?

"coming······"

From behind the crowd of white-robed men, a deep voice rolled in like thunder.

After hearing this sound, for some reason, people felt hungry in their stomachs.

Even Ace and his crew, who had just finished their feast, were no exception.

"Damn it, why do I feel hungry? Didn't I just eat?"

"Hey, do you have this feeling too? I thought I was the only one who felt this way. This feeling almost made me so hungry that I went back to the restaurant where I had lunch to argue with the owner of the restaurant."

When Ace also heard this voice, his face immediately darkened.

Ace, who was a Devil Fruit user himself, obviously judged the owner of the voice more.

no doubt.

The owner of the voice in front of me is basically one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, the Famine Knight among the four great knights of the apocalypse.

Only this Famine Knight has the terrifying ability to make people hungry just by making a sound.

Just as Ace and others entered the foot of the mountain.

Behind the man in white robe, a skinny, blond young man with no body left separated the crowd in front of him and walked out.

Quietly looking at their hair, the two hundred or so people who automatically stood in two rows and took out their weapons said:

"Strangers, I'm sorry, but Moonlight Monastery will not accept any outside visitors this week. If you have nothing else to do, please go back!"

Ace shook his head and said, "That won't do! We came here to visit the Moonlight Saint. We won't leave until we see the Moonlight Saint."

The tall, but skinny blond young man heard this and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm very sorry, but the Saint is busy right now, I won't let you go up. If you don't listen, I can only drive you out by force."

"You're pretty arrogant to drive us out."

Looking at the blond young man who was blocking his way, Ace shook his head, drew out his famous sword, Deadwood, pointed it at the Famine Knight and said, "You are quite arrogant, but you think you can stop me even if you fight. You underestimate me!"

"hehe!"

Just like Ace was not convinced by his statement, Famine Knight was also not convinced by Ace's statement.

"Since you are so stubborn, don't blame me for being rude."

After saying that, the blond man pulled out a knight's spear from his waist and swept the gun directly towards Ace's chest.

"Huh, good time!"

Ace raised his eyes, turned sideways slightly, and avoided the shot with an iron bridge. At the same time, the famous sword in his hand followed the body of the knight's gun and slashed towards the hands holding the gun of the hungry knight.

The blond man's eyes flashed when he saw this, and without trying to defend himself, he simply held the gun with both hands and shook it violently.

Violent vibrations shook along the gun body and quickly towards the front half of the spear.

After following the tail of the gun and reaching the tip, the vibration force on the knight's gun multiplied countless times, causing the tip of the knight's gun to twist and shake rapidly like a crazy python. stand up.

hum!

Under this violent shock, Ace's sword passed along the barrel of the knight's gun and was directly knocked away by the force of the shock.

Every inch is stronger.

Under the huge power of the Hungry Knight, the shock force of this spear was increased by unknown times through the amplification of the spear. Even Ace was caught off guard and was so shocked that he almost lost his grip on the weapon. Almost knocked out.

･････････

Typos, please post first and correct later.

Chapter 477 Ace's Growth

Take several steps back.

After losing all his energy, Ace raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"I can't tell. I didn't expect you to be quite strong with such a lean body. But you can't stop me with this!"

"Ittōryu Fierce Tiger!"

Roar!

As Ace swept across with his sword, a flame several meters wide formed a flame curtain, which suddenly bombarded directly forward. At the same time, this flame curtain was also mixed with a blazing red sword energy.

The blazing flames seemed to form a roaring tiger looking up to the sky. The roaring tiger swept through the mountains and forests in an instant under the horrified gaze of the white-robed men.

boom! boom! boom!

Looking at the flaming tiger in mid-air, and the scorching heat that swept over and faintly burned the air, a trace of solemnity flashed in the eyes of the blond young man.

Is this the natural ability to burn fruits?

It’s really an exaggeration!

But facing the flaming tiger roaring proudly in the mountains and forests, the blond young man's face did not reveal the slightest trace of panic or fear.

He grabbed the knight's spear beside him, weighed it with his five fingers, and made a projection motion with the spear.

call out!

The next moment, the blond young man's pupils shrank suddenly and he threw his arms out.

And the heavy knight's spear suddenly turned into a silvery white light, blasting the air and shooting out fiercely.

The blasted air, or a shock wave, exploded above everyone's heads, knocking countless people back, and some collapsed after being directly impacted.

boom! ! !

In mid-air, the knight's spear instantly penetrated the shape of the roaring tiger in the forest.

A bang!

It hit the core sword energy that Ace slashed out.

next moment!

The blazing red sword energy was blasted by the sonic boom from the rod, and the knight's spear carrying terrifying power was smashed into pieces.

But at the same time, the knight's spear made of unknown materials, after experiencing the high temperature of the flames and the brilliance of the sword energy, also turned into twisted pieces under the final collision. Shoot out.

Although the flames blasted by Ace were exploded by the knight's spear, the hot air waves swept past, but still carried a lot of damage.

Even the golden hair of the blond young man was a little bent and deformed in an instant.

There was even a faint smell of burning protein in the air.

After glancing at his hair, which had become dry and brown in an instant after the heat wave swept over him, the blond young man couldn't help but look ugly.

Don't look at him, but he destroyed Ace's attack with one shot.

But in that confrontation.

There is no doubt that he is the one who is at a disadvantage.

For Ace, it was at most an incomplete slash, but for the blond young man, he not only lost a knight's lance, but even the only bright hair on his body was burned by Ace's flames.

"You guys are too presumptuous! This is our territory!"

The next moment, the blond young man suddenly pulled out two exquisite and short daggers from his waist, holding one in each hand, and then rushed towards Ace.

call out!

The blond young man holding a dagger burst out at a staggeringly terrifying speed at this moment.

Obviously one moment he was still dozens of meters away from Ace, but the next moment, two exquisite daggers stabbed Ace's back silently.

laugh! !

Facing the blond young man who suddenly appeared behind him, Ace swung his sword with his backhand, and another sword energy burst out with flames. However, the figure of the blond young man turned around in mid-air extremely flexibly, and avoided it again. Then another attack took place.

"An agile opponent?"

Ace's eyes narrowed slightly after seeing the terrifying speed that the blond young man exploded at this moment.

Before coming, Ace had not carefully understood what kind of people these so-called Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were and what methods they were good at.

After all... He has never been the kind of person who likes to calculate everything and bring everything under his control.

And, let’s be honest.

Although Robin's side provided Ace with the information provided by Grand Duke Moscow.

But who knows whether the information provided by Grand Duke Moscow is accurate.

In Ace's impression, few of these so-called royal nobles were reliable.

If they really believed in what they provided, judged the enemy based on the information they provided, and went to fight, it would probably not take long for them to fall into a big trap.

The two daggers of the blond young man suddenly drew two sharp lines in the air, and the point of impact was Ace's heart. However, the blow was stopped by Ace's sword midway.

Ding! !

Although the two daggers of the blond young man were extraordinary, they were obviously not comparable to the famous sword "Deadwood" in Ace's hand.

But at this moment, coupled with the blond young man's huge strength that was completely out of proportion to his body shape, Ace was at a slight disadvantage in this fight.

boom!

Just when the blond young man wanted to take advantage of the victory, a pillar of scorching fire instantly rose from Ace's body and directly blasted the blond young man away.

After blasting away the opponent.

Ace looked at the blond young man who was blown away with a confused expression, a trace of confusion flashing across his face.

At the moment when they just fought.

Ace clearly felt that the strength in his hand seemed to have weakened a bit the moment he fought with the blond young man.

No······

Not weakening!

Instead, it was swallowed by the other party!

Damn it, what the hell is going on!

After being blasted away by the violently rising pillar of fire.

The blond young man looked at the clothes on his body that had been burned through several holes by the hot sparks, and sighed slightly.

This set of clothes is his only intact white robe.

If this suit becomes torn again, he won't even have a perfect set of clothes.

Now, he, the Knight of the Apocalypse, is really going to be worthy of the name "Famine".

Nonsense, I can’t even afford clothes. Isn’t this exactly what it means to be famine-stricken?

Looking up slightly, the blond young man's eyes just met Ace's eyes.

See the confusion and fear in Ace's eyes.

The blond young man, the Famine Knight among the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, sighed in his heart again.

【What a keen guy! Did you notice the abnormality so quickly? 】

As the Famine Knight among the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Of course, the blond young man possesses more than just strength and speed far beyond ordinary people.

His core power is the power named "Famine"!

Every time, as long as he uses the power named "Famine".

With him as the center of the circle, an invisible "famine" field will be formed within a radius of 100 meters. For any living being, in this "famine" field, the speed of hunger will be accelerated countless times. The longer it stays in this "famine" field, , the faster you become hungry, and even your body will quickly become weak.

Every second he stayed, except for the blond young man and some people he specially protected.
