Playing Dirty
Roy took out a bottle of Milky White Potion from the Dream Dimension and threw it at Ace.
Ace, whose momentum had reached its peak, took the small bottle with a blank expression. Fortunately, he could control his flames at will, otherwise the bottle would definitely have been unable to withstand his intense heat and would have exploded.
What do you mean by that?
"Drink it." Roy didn't explain.
Boom!
Without hesitation, Ace uncorked the bottle and poured the liquid into his mouth. He didn't think Roy would need to resort to such despicable tactics when he had the upper hand.
"Tsk tsk, the taste... no, my body..." Ace was surprised to find that a surge of life energy was coursing through his limbs and bones, his previous injuries were instantly healed, and the horrifying round hole on his left shoulder disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he was directly restored to his peak condition.
"This S-2 Potion is quite effective, isn't it?" Roy said with a smile.
"Is this the foundation of the Shichibukai?" Ace was secretly shocked, silently memorizing this potion. The effect of this potion was more than just good; it could completely give someone a second life.
"Why... why did you do this?" Ace took a deep breath.
"This is the most basic respect for the strong," Roy said, changing the subject. "At the same time, it's also to make you realize the gap between us!"
"Then, to show my respect for you, I will definitely do everything in my power to defeat you."
"I couldn't have gotten it."
Flame Ring: Fire Pillar!
The raging flames shot into the sky, tearing apart the Cloud Layer, making it appear as if the entire sky was ablaze from afar.
Facing the towering flames, Roy calmly said, "Flames have no temperature."
Ace frowned, not understanding the meaning behind Roy's words, but that did not affect his next move.
The towering pillar of fire collapsed and transformed into countless firebirds, which sped toward Roy.
To Ace's surprise, Roy didn't make any move, seemingly letting him attack him at will.
Ace was a little unsure of Roy's intentions. Although flames filled the entire sea, he didn't think such a move could cause Roy too much trouble. There was no way he couldn't even dodge it.
In the blink of an eye, Roy was engulfed by the sea of fire, giving Ace a glimmer of hope that perhaps the enemy had really been careless.
"This is... no, how could this be?" Ace hadn't been happy for long before he realized something was wrong. The flames landed on Roy, but they couldn't even cause him the slightest harm. The flames, which were clearly scorching hot, seemed to have lost their heat at this moment.
That's right, it's lost the definition of temperature.
It is important to understand that everything that exists has a temperature, whether it is high or low, but it is impossible for an object to exist without a temperature.
In fact, Ace couldn't even imagine what it meant to have no temperature.
Even Ace, who was not afraid of death, showed surprise for the first time, because the scene before him was beyond his comprehension.
He is inherently a blazing fire; if flames have no temperature, wouldn't that mean he has been stripped of his very reason for existence?
This made him, who had always felt that his existence was a mistake, look somewhat ferocious. "Damn it, why is this happening? Why is my flame without heat?"
Crocodile the Sand and Enel, now reconciled, looked at Ace with pity in their eyes.
"Tsk tsk, the captain's cheating again." Crocodile the Sand shook his head, as if recalling some unpleasant past events.
"Flames naturally have temperature, but dreams have no temperature," Enel remarked.
Dreams are inherently bizarre and fantastical; it's not surprising to see anything inexplicable happen in a dream.
"The captain initially defined me as someone whose weight was infinite, making it impossible for a Sand -Sand-Sand Fruit User me to move even a single grain of sand." Crocodile the Sand was on the verge of tears, recalling the fear of being dominated by Roy. "More importantly, I am sand myself, and in the end, I couldn't even move a single step."
"You're lucky," Enel said irritably. "The captain restricted the existence of elements. Can you imagine how miserable it is for me, a Rumble-Rumble Fruit User, to have to electrocute myself every time I use my ability?"
The two stared at each other speechlessly, almost bursting into tears. This ability was just too overpowered, making the combat experience extremely poor.
The main reason was that the two of them fought each other on the Sky Island without regard for the occasion, almost shattering the Sky Island. Roy was furious and made the two of them suffer the pain of having their abilities restricted for a period of time.
It must be said that the effect was remarkable. After that, even when the two were at odds, they would suppress their anger and fly to the outside of the Sky Island to fight.
"So, how can a flame that doesn't even have heat defeat me?" Roy watched this scene with great interest, wondering if Ace could still unleash his full power under these circumstances.
Ace finally remembered the World Government's definition of Roy: the most mysterious and enigmatic man among the Shichibukai.
Ace forced himself to calm down. "There is no such thing as an unsolvable move in this world. If he can really change the laws of the world, it would not be an exaggeration to call him a god. There must be something I haven't noticed."
"That's it, limits. Everything has its limits. Although I don't know how he limited the temperature of the flames, it's impossible for all the flames to lose their temperature. As long as my flames are intense enough to break this limit, I will definitely be able to break this move." Ace's eyes grew brighter and brighter as he finally found the direction for the battle.
Even Roy was impressed, saying that Ace truly deserved to be considered a protagonist, as he was able to recover from what could be described as a desperate situation so quickly.
Of course, Roy didn't think Ace's struggles would be of any use. Even Enel and Crocodile the Sand, whose Devil Fruits Devil Fruit Awakening, couldn't break the boundary between illusion and reality. For Ace to complete this impossible task now was far too much of a stretch.
Great Flame Ring - Flame Emperor!
Ace knew that ordinary moves would be useless against Roy, so after making up his mind, he ignited all the flames in his body, and the layers of flames swept into the sky, reflecting a brilliant sunset.
"It's still not enough, my power is still not enough!" Ace could sense the huge fireball held high above his head, just like the flames before, without any heat, as if it were a false illusion.
"The flames in my heart are burning fiercely! If the flames have no warmth, then fill them with my heart!" The fireball Ace held high above his head continued to expand.
"What the hell? Could it be Spirit Bomb?" Roy couldn't help but complain.
