The gourmet among pirates

Even when dealing with natural Devil Fruit users like Ace, Baird Alves has a lot of experience.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to keep up with the previous generation of "Natural-type Shining Fruit" for a long time, and was eventually taken advantage of by the navy.

As for why those Apocalypse Knights in Perkins don't know, or even know about Armed Haki and Wisdom Haki.

Very simple.

That's because Baird Alves never really regarded any of them as his subordinates from beginning to end.

I just don't want to hand them over.

Perkins and the four Knights of the Apocalypse.

It's just a tool used by Baird Alves to plunder the flesh and blood of all living beings.

Sooner or later, Baird Alves will personally deal with these guys and recover the flesh and blood from them.

It is precisely because of this that Baird Alves could hand over the Haki of knowledge and Haki to the four of them, Perkins.

If we give them such dangerous powers as Armed Haki and Knowledge Haki, wouldn't it cause trouble for Baird Alves himself?

What if those guys really made some achievements in Armed Haki and Wisdom Haki?

If Baird Alves cannot successfully harvest blood from them, wouldn't it be like shooting himself in the foot?

··········

Facing the sharp claws that were tearing through the air and whistling towards him, Ace's pupils shrank, the dead wood on his waist was instantly unsheathed, and he swung the sword horizontally!

Ding!

At the same time as a crisp metallic chime sounded, a shock wave appeared in the air and swayed around.

Click...

Baird Alves waved his huge demonic claws, a look of surprise flashed across his face, as if he was surprised by Ace's power, but soon returned to normal.

"Hell Death Wind!"

call!

The bat wings behind Baird Alvis spread out suddenly and flapped rapidly.

The extremely fast waving bat wings even brought up afterimages in the air.

next moment!

Two gray-black whirlwinds like tornadoes blasted out from the bat wings behind Baird Alves.

He rushed towards Ace who was in a stalemate with Baird Alvis!

"Ok?"

Ace paused, put his hands hard, and shouted: "Pyroblast!"

boom! ! !

Just when those two tornadoes were about to fall on Ace!

Ace's body suddenly paused, then suddenly turned into a huge fireball and exploded instantly!

Exploding fireball!

Two tornadoes collided with each other.

A series of bombings started in mid-air.

And the real Ace.

Taking advantage of the moment of the explosion, he suddenly arrived behind Baird Alves and slashed out with a sword.

The blazing sword light, like the scorching sun, flashed behind Baird Alves.

Under one knife.

The dead wood, filled with a fiery aura, directly cut open Baird Alves's bat wing membrane, which was a hundred times tougher than cowhide, leaving a deep wound on his bronze back. .

Just when Ace wanted to take advantage of the victory and expand the results.

A sneer appeared at the corner of Baird Alves' mouth, whose defense was broken by Ace's sword.

"Death Bind!"

Chi Chi Chi!

I saw black bolts of steel erupting from the wounds opened by Ace on Baird Alves, heading towards Ace's restraints.

Chapter 486 Ace’s Vulcan Form

"hehe!"

"You want to restrain me with just this level of power??"

"Fire Ring·Fire Pillar!"

Raging flames surged out of Ace's body like ocean waves.

In the blink of an eye, the black satin-like chains that bound him were submerged.

Zizizi!

In mid-air, a violent chemical reaction occurred after the fierce flames and the black bolts collided.

It's like pouring a cup of ice water into boiling hot oil and instantly "sparking" a large amount of white smoke.

The moment Ace's flames came into contact with the black chain.

Large swaths of black fog directly evaporated!

There was a violent sizzling sound!

Seeing Ace easily solving his [Death Binding], Baird Alves couldn't help but look a little ugly. He seemed to have recalled some bad memories, and said gloomily:

"Natural devil fruit users...what a troublesome bunch!"

The last natural-type Shining Fruit ability user had caused him to be arrested by the navy; this time, Ace, who ruined his good deeds, was obviously a brat, yet he was so difficult to deal with.

"However, just a mere flame wants to deal with me, dream!"

"Laws: Plunder!"

I saw the huge devil's claw deep in Baird Alves, grabbing at the top of Ace's head!

It was as if he had grabbed something invisible, and then pulled hard towards himself.

"Crack!"

While Baird Alves was grabbing and pulling something with his devil.

In the flames.

Ace, who had burned the black chain that restrained him, was about to use his strength to strike a powerful fire fist at Baird Alves when he suddenly heard a sound like a line breaking.

Followed by.

A sudden and rapidly rising sense of panic appeared in his heart.

It was as if something important was leaving him!

next second!

Ace's premonition... came true!

I saw the flames flying around Ace, as if they all suddenly rebelled, and instantly surged towards Ace.

The scorching high-temperature flames instantly ignited the hair on Ace's body and burned his clothes.

and began to burn his skin.

If it weren't for Ace, who is an esper, he would have developed the Burning Fruit to an extremely deep level.

And after years of training and circulation.

It makes his body have an indescribably strong resistance to high temperatures and flames.

This raging flame easily ignited his hair and clothes.

It can burn him in an instant.

It would be like this now, after igniting the clothes Ace was wearing, it only slightly burned Ace's skin red, with a stinging sensation caused by the burning.

But even so, Ace was so shocked that he froze on the spot.

"How can it be!"

"Why does my flame attack myself?"

I am a natural-type person with the ability to burn stupid fruit!

Why did the flames he used suddenly lose control and burn him!

He is obviously the master of these flames.

When Ace was stunned, Baird Alves would not be stunned.

Baird Alves held Ace's ability tightly in his right hand, causing Ace to lose control of the flames.

Baird Alves' body turned into a ball of smoke and dissipated in front of Ace.

Then he drifted into the wind and looked at the circle of flames surrounding Ace.

Bang! !

With a loud noise, a cloud of mist flashing with black light surrounded Ace.

Before Ace could fully recover, a sharp claw flashing with a cold light grabbed Ace's head.

Look from afar.

Those huge demonic claws seemed to have scratched Ace's head and exploded.

"Damn thief, even if you want to rob me of my ability!"

"Six thousand degrees Celsius·The God of Fire is coming!"

At this moment, with a roar, Ace's body burst into flames again with a "boom".

boom! ! !

I saw a golden red flame surging out from Ace's body.

A terrifying temperature that was even more intense than before suddenly spread!

The dark red flames, wrapped in a monstrous heat, suddenly swept across all directions with Ace as the center!

"Ok?"

Baird Alves, who had finally used [Devil's Law] to rob Ace of his control over flames, his expression hidden behind the black mist suddenly changed, and his figure retreated without hesitation.

But even so.

His hair, which looked like it was woven by thousands of venomous snakes, was also twisted by the scorching high temperature. It seemed that the thousands of snake hairs couldn't bear the high temperature and squirmed crazily.

Even his lips and the bronze skin on his body were almost dry and cracked under the heat wave.

It wasn't until he was a hundred meters away that Baird Alves clenched his right hand tightly, feeling that he had not lost the control over the flames in the palm of his right hand, and roared with an ugly face:

"This is impossible. I have obviously robbed you of your ability. Why, you can still use such a powerful flame!"

"Humph!"

At the center of the flame!

Ace, who was wrapped in dark red flames and lifted up, slowly floated into the air. He snorted coldly and said with disdain:

"You alone want to take away my fire ability, dream!"

"What you took away was nothing more than the control of the flames that I had released outside my body before. How could a guy like you take away the absolute core of the power of the Burning Fruit!!!"

Ace wasn't talking nonsense.

After the initial panic.

Ace then discovered that what Baird Alves had taken away was just the control of the flames he had just released from his body.

In other words, the only thing that Baird Alves can control and attack with him is the flame that Ace just used [Fire Ring·Fire Pillar].
