Boom, boom...! These sparks exploded around Chen Fan's body like bombs.
Ace spoke into the sea of explosions, "So what if you took that attack?! You can't reflect it now, can you?!"
But Chen Fan's calm voice soon came from within the flames. "Reflect? Ah! You mean that thing from earlier? Well, I suppose it counts as reflection."
Ace stared at Chen Fan in disbelief. "How is that possible? Why are flame attacks ineffective against you?!"
"Just assume I ate the Reflect-Reflect Fruit. I want you to accept your defeat wholeheartedly. Do you want to surrender? It'll hurt less this way." Chen Fan smiled and spread his hands at Ace.
