Chapter 724
Marco landed beside Ace and checked Ace's breathing. He found that Ace's breathing was steady and he was not in any danger. However, the Devil Fruit that Chen Fan was holding was clearly the Flame-Flame Fruit that Ace possessed.
Chen Fan glanced at Marco with a faint smile and said, "What? Do you want the Devil Fruit I have too? I already have two Logia Devil Fruit. One is the Darkness Fruit that Blackbeard gave me, and the other is this Flame-Flame Fruit. I'm also quite interested in your Mythical Zoan fruit. How about you make a bet with me, like Ace did? If you defeat me, you can take both Logia Devil Fruit. If I defeat you, I'll take your Devil Fruit, how about that?"
Marco looked at Chen Fan's smiling face, took a deep breath to calm himself down, and understood what had happened from Chen Fan's words. Ace had tried to steal the Devil Fruit others had worked so hard to obtain, but ended up losing his own Devil Fruit in the process. It was already merciful of Chen Fan not to kill Ace.
Marco shook his head at Chen Fan and said, "No, I was just responsible for bringing Ace back. To prevent anyone else from plotting against him, since Ace lost the bet, the Devil Fruit naturally belongs to you. However, this feud is now in the making, and we will welcome you to the New World." After saying that, his body transformed into a Phoenix and left with Ace.
He hadn't initially resisted taking the Devil Fruit from Chen Fan, but when he saw the fleeting greed in Chen Fan's eyes, he quickly regained his composure. Whitebeard wasn't mindless; Blackbeard's ability to leave a wound on Red-Haired's face was merely average. Chen Fan's ability to defeat Blackbeard meant he was incredibly strong. Regardless of the outcome of Ace's fight against Chen Fan, he would definitely suffer some injury. If he were captured by the Marines (Qian Nuo Zhao), it would be disastrous. Therefore, he sent Marco the Phoenix to provide backup.
Unfortunately, he arrived too late. Chen Fan had already extracted the Devil Fruit. For Ace's safety, he decided to take Ace back to the Whitebeard Pirates first.
The news that Chen Fan had defeated Fire Fist Ace and extracted Ace's Flame-Flame Fruit spread throughout the world in an instant, shocking the world once again, and at the same time, fueling greed.
Chen Fan currently possesses two of the strongest Logia Devil Fruit, meaning that defeating Chen Fan would grant the two most powerful Logia Devil Fruit.
Afterwards, the New World newspapers carried Whitebeard's words, which shook the world. But thinking about it, it makes sense. When has the Whitebeard Pirates ever suffered a loss? The 2nd Division commander was defeated by an outsider. They certainly wouldn't let it go. If Chen Fan enters the New World, there's bound to be a good show to watch.
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.
Marco landed beside Ace and checked Ace's breathing. He found that Ace's breathing was steady and he was not in any danger. However, the Devil Fruit that Chen Fan was holding was clearly the Flame-Flame Fruit that Ace possessed.
Chen Fan glanced at Marco with a faint smile and said, "What? Do you want the Devil Fruit I have too? I already have two Logia Devil Fruit. One is the Darkness Fruit that Blackbeard gave me, and the other is this Flame-Flame Fruit. I'm also quite interested in your Mythical Zoan fruit. How about you make a bet with me, like Ace did? If you defeat me, you can take both Logia Devil Fruit. If I defeat you, I'll take your Devil Fruit, how about that?"
