Fire Fist Ace (3)

"Hehe, Ace, you can't escape. I will definitely defeat you." Fanxin surfaced, chuckled, and said.

"You're a tough nut to crack, kid!" Fire Fist Ace said.

"Of course, otherwise, how could I dare to attack Celestial Dragons? It's precisely because of my exceptional escape skills that I dare to do something so outrageous!" Fanxin Xin chuckled and said, "You only have two choices. First, you can admit defeat and I'll stop now. Second, I can defeat you and then I'll stop. The choice is yours!"

"Heh, I won't admit defeat. You only have one option: to beat me," Fire Fist Ace said.

"Is that so? In that case, there's nothing more to say between us." Fanxin grinned and said.

"Come on!" Fire Fist Ace chuckled and immediately activated his ability, propelling the ship forward at high speed.

He didn't fight Fanxin, not because he was running away, but because he was choosing to avoid danger. He was currently at a disadvantage, and a deadly fight with Fanxin would be disastrous for him. He needed to find a place where he could fight more effectively, and then he could truly launch a counterattack.

"As you wish." Fanxin Xin nodded, then immediately sank into the sea and began the pursuit.

Fire Fist Ace charged forward, his eyes scanning the surroundings, searching for a suitable spot.

Ace's ship was incredibly fast, and despite Fanxin's best efforts to catch up, he could only manage to keep up. Attacking was impossible, as Ace was constantly changing position. Every time Fan Xin launched Diamond Spikes attack, Ace managed to dodge it in time. His attacks missed every single time. Fanxin couldn't help but sigh; indeed, Ace was a renowned pirate, and dealing with him was quite difficult.

After chasing for more than two hours, Ace spotted several warships not far ahead of him.

Ace grinned and rushed forward. He was going to the warship to fight Fanxin.

The marines on the warship spotted Ace charging towards them and immediately reported the news to their commander. Soon after, the marines sprang into action and began firing on Ace.

However, Ace simply smiled at the marines' fierce attack, not paying much attention.

Because those attacks were useless against him. He didn't even need to dodge; he just stood there and let the marines attack him, and they couldn't kill him.

"Fire Fist Ace is Logia; physical attacks are useless against him. Switch to Prison Bullets immediately!" a captain shouted.

Under his reprimand, everyone sprang into action and began switching weapons. They took out Prison Bullets from the warehouse and started attacking Fire Fist Ace.

This time, Ace was no longer calm, because the Prison Bullets contained Seastone. If he were hit, he would immediately become weak and powerless. At that point, even a weak marine could easily take him down.

Meanwhile, deep underwater, Fanxin are still pursuing them, which is a huge problem.

Without further hesitation, he immediately set the boat aside and jumped onto the warship.

He landed on the deck very quickly.

When the marines saw Ace board the warship, cold sweat dripped down their foreheads. This man was none other than Fire Fist Ace, a name that resonated far and wide, not only because he was on Whitebeard's ship, but also because of his formidable strength.

His strength was entirely earned through his own abilities. That's why they are so afraid of him.

"Fire Fist Ace, why are you here?" A naval captain pushed through the crowd and stood in front of the marines. He looked at Ace and shouted.

He was tall with long hair and a mustache; the two tufts of hair were so long they reached below his chin. In his hand he held a large knife, gleaming coldly and incredibly sharp, clearly one he sharpened frequently. Otherwise, the knife would never have been so sharp.

He was Pound, the commander of this warship. He was on a mission to pursue other pirates. He never expected to run into Fire Fist Ace.

His expression turned serious, sensing some trouble, because Fire Fist Ace was a renowned pirate, highly regarded by Whitebeard, and his strength was definitely not to be underestimated.

"I'm here to take care of some business, but I've run into a bit of trouble. You guys should leave the warship for now; I need to borrow your warship," Fire Fist Ace said.

He didn't want to fight the navy because he was worried about destroying the ship. He needed the ship as a battlefield; if it was destroyed, he would have to find another one.

"Are you kidding me? This is our warship!" the marines said angrily.

This warship belongs to them, yet Ace came over and told them to get lost. Anyone would be upset to hear that.

Although Fire Fist Ace was incredibly powerful, they absolutely could not tolerate him. They glared at Fire Fist Ace, ready to strike at any moment.

"Hmm, are you sure you're not getting off the ship?" Ace asked coldly.

"No way!" the marines said in unison.

"I see. It seems I have no choice but to take action," Ace said with a helpless expression.

Having said that, he no longer hesitated and began his attack on the marines. He used his Pistol skill and then began attacking the stamina-resistant marines.

The marines didn't sit idly by and immediately retaliated with Prison Bullets.

Seeing so many Prison Bullets coming towards him, Ace immediately leaped into the air to dodge.

All those Prison Bullets missed their mark. The marines were furious and kept firing.

However, Ace wasn't going to give them any chance. He immediately unleashed his signature technique Fire Fist. He threw a punch, and a fist formed from flames flew out of his hand, heading straight for the marines.

A moment later, under his fist attack, the marines were all blasted away, and the rear half of the warship was severely damaged. Fortunately, the warship was large enough that even with part of it destroyed, there was still enough for him to fight Fanxin. Otherwise, he would have been devastated.

Many marines were thrown into the sea, and some were burned to death. The navy suffered heavy losses under his punch.

Seeing his men defeated, Pound was furious. He immediately grabbed his greatsword and charged forward, ready to attack Ace.

Upon reaching Ace's side, Pound no longer hesitated, gripping his sword with both hands and slashing at Ace's head.

Ace didn't just stand there and let Pound attack him, because Pound was a colonel, and his strength was bound to be considerable. If the opponent had Haki, then standing there would be tantamount to suicide. Therefore, instead of standing there dumbfounded, he launched a counterattack.
