Chapter 723
"It's not quite clear. The battle is engulfed in flames, but based on the previous attacks, it seems that the one Chen Fan has the upper hand."
"Alright! Ignore them, let them fight. It would be best if Chen Fan could take down Ace."
Meanwhile, Red-Haired arrived at Whitebeard's ship once again for a visit. Whitebeard, despite having tubes inserted into his body, still exuded Haki, looking down at Shanks sitting on the deck and saying, "Red-Haired! What are you doing here again?"
"I advise you to summon Ace back as soon as possible. This guy Chen Fan seems to have no scruples at all. If Ace really angers him, Ace will be in danger," Red-Haired said to Whitebeard, taking a sip of his drink.
"Hahaha...! Red-Haired! Where did the once Haki you, 353, go? You're just a brat! A brat who just entered the Grand Line, he's only lucky. Besides, my children have all grown up and naturally have to make their own decisions. I support Ace's choice." Whitebeard laughed loudly, then drank a large bowl of sake;
The nurse beside him said, "Captain, you can't drink anymore; it will harm your health."
"How could drinking what you like harm your health!" the Whitebeard man said.
"If that's really what you think, then I won't say anything. The World Government is certainly very happy to see this outcome. But I can only tell you that this man Chen Fan is no ordinary person. One of your traitorous sons, Blackbeard, has already died at his hands. If you don't want another son to die at his hands, then don't have anything to do with him anymore!" Red-Haired said to Whitebeard.
Whitebeard narrowed his eyes as he looked at Red-Haired and said, "I, Whitebeard, have roamed the Grand Line for so many years, I'm not even afraid of the World Government, why would I be afraid of a newcomer like him? Guards!"
Soon a crew member came over. "Pops! What can I do for you?"
"Send a notification to that guy named Chen Fan, telling him that I, Whitebeard, am waiting for him in the New World!"
Chapter 208 Defeating Ace
(Chapter 208 Defeating Ace)
Regardless of what happened in the New World, the battle here was already one-sided. Ace had been trying his best to hurt Chen Fan, using all his moves and even hiding in the fire to find an opportunity to ambush Chen Fan. Unfortunately, the movement of the flames was no different from watching Chen Fan in person.
"Whoosh...!" Chen Fan kicked a ball of flame. "Bang...! Aa ...
Ace struggled to his feet and looked at Chen Fan. He was used to everything going smoothly for him. Back then, he caused a ruckus in the New World and made a name for himself, known as Fire Fist Ace. Most importantly, he also became the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates.
But Chen Fan wasn't buying it at all. Whitebeard, wasn't he just known as the Strongest Man in the world? Back in Fairy Tail, Chen Fan Chen Fan also known as the Strongest Man. Chen Fan felt that sooner or later Chen Fan would meet Whitebeard, and then who knew who would be the strongest?
"That's enough, isn't it? Your strength is not bad, but you're still far inferior to me. Just faint peacefully, don't worry, you won't die. You've just lost the power of your Devil Fruit. With Whitebeard's influence, what's so difficult about getting another one?" Chen Fan said to Ace. It was almost time to end the battle. Chen Fan had also learned a bit about the fruit. The power of the Flame-Flame Fruit should be able to be improved. The greatest destructive power of fire is its temperature, and the temperature created by Ace's fruit wasn't high enough.
Ace chuckled and said, "You make it sound so easy. As the Second Division Captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, how could I possibly hand over Devil Fruit to you so easily!" Ace shouted at the end, his flames intensifying, and a large patch of fire appeared around him.
"Great Flame Commandment! Flame Emperor!"
Ace unleashed flames from his entire body, then concentrated them all into his hand, creating a massive fireball that resembled the sun. This was Ace's most powerful attack, Flame Emperor.
"I didn't intend to use this move, but I didn't expect you to be so powerful. If you can withstand this attack, you can take my Devil Fruit!" Ace said, then hurled the giant fireball at Chen Fan.
Chen Fan looked at the Heat, enormous fireball, then quickly rushed forward and kicked it.
"...!" The sound of superpowers activating rang out;
Chen Fan lifted this enormous fireball directly into the sky;
"Boom...!!" A sound like a bomb exploding rang out in the air, a dazzling light flashed across the sky, and flames fell like raindrops;
Ace stared blankly at the rain of fire falling from the sky, his face filled with disbelief. His most powerful attack hadn't even managed to inflict the slightest damage on this man.
"Thump...!" He knelt on the ground, then collapsed to the floor, unconscious. Chen Fan had extracted Ace's Devil Fruit as payment. If Chen Fan hadn't dealt with Blackbeard, Ace's fate might have been sealed. Chen Fan had changed Ace's destiny, almost causing Chen Fan to kneel. It wouldn't be right not to collect some interest. Besides, Chen Fan had some other plans, which was why Chen Fan hadn't consumed the Darkness Fruit.
Chen Fan defeated Ace, and the spies who had been secretly reporting the news to the World Government. They heard that Chen Fan hadn't killed Ace, which meant that he hadn't gone all out. They ordered the spies to kill Ace after Chen Fan left, so that Chen Fan's relationship with Whitebeard would completely collapse, and killing Whitebeard's Second Division Captain would also be a great joy.
Just as they were thinking this, a large bird formed of blue flames suddenly flew over from the sky. It was Marco the Phoenix, the Captain of the First Division of the Whitebeard Pirates. Chen Fan had some impression of him, mainly because his Devil Fruit and strength were impressive.
