"Ah... so boring!"
The big "G-5" Marking warship was sailing on the sea. Ace was sitting on the bow of the ship bored, tilting his head and looking at the endless sea.
"Major Ace, now is the World Meeting period. According to the experience of previous years, it is impossible for the pirates to be silent at this time..."
The scouts were also very confused. Even though G-5 Branch and two Vice Admiral were in charge, they did not see the pirates being timid. Those who should go to sea still went to sea, and those who should plunder still plundered.
"What kind of big move are they going to make? But World Meeting is making big moves during the period. Are they not afraid of irritating Marines?"
Ace turned in another direction. "If nothing else, if the teacher lets go and kills, even Whitebeard Pirates won't be able to withstand it, right?"
"That's right..."
The scout scratched his head and asked carefully, "But Major Ace, is it okay if we go directly to Thunder God Island like this?"
"Although that is Shichibukai's territory, 'Thunder God' Enel seems to be very cooperative with Marines, but you are here to fight with him..."
"No problem, that guy Enel, I have fought against him before."
Ace straightened up and cheered up:
"At that time we... well, we didn't decide the winner, so now, I feel that I am much stronger than that time. Maybe I will gain some insights if I fight him again."
"Uh... Colonel Ace once had a close match with Shichibukai!"
Although the scouts have some understanding of Ace's strength, they only have a relatively comprehensive understanding now.
"Okay, Major, we will arrive probably in the evening."
"Okay... let me practice for a while first."
Ace sat down, his hands turned into flames, closed his eyes to feel the condition of his body, and further developed the abilities of Flame-Flame Fruit.
"Ace Major! Emergency!"
Ace was awakened by the scout's cry:
"What happened? Did some blind guy finally bump into me?"
"Major Ace! A pirate ship under the command of 'Four Emperors' Whitebeard is found ahead!"
"Whitebeard?"
Ace was stunned for a moment, and then became excited - in G-5 Branch, there were a lot of battles between Ace and Whitebeard's subordinates these days. Most of the rank of major was obtained from Whitebeard.
"Who leads the team?"
"Yes... yes..."
The scout was sweating profusely and struggled to spit out a name:
"First Division Commander, Phoenix Marco!"
"!"
Ace was stunned at first, and then laughed uncontrollably:
"Hahaha! Very good! First Division Commander is more powerful than the other dozen or so Captain!"
"Marco usually stays on the flagship of Whitebeard. I didn't expect that I would be able to meet him when he led the team today. I'm really lucky!"
"Command! The entire ship is on alert and ready for battle!"
"Yes!"
Whitebeard On the flagship of Team 1, Captain Marco was squinting at the warship not far ahead.
"Well... after all, I have met Marines. It would be weird not to meet him!"
During the World Meeting period, most of the Whitebeard Pirates actions were concentrated, and only the Division Commander level characters in the team would lead the team out to sea alone. Therefore, the chance of encountering Marines became smaller, but once encountered, the chance of winning was much greater.
"That is "Fire Fist" Ace, right? Marines's latest super newcomer, Admiral Wright's disciple."
Marco scratched Pineapple Head: "Another monster with terrible talents... How long have you been joining Marines before you can lead a warship on your own?"
"Marco Captain, this "Fire Fist" Ace is very powerful in combat, and that Logia's Flame-Flame Fruit was developed very well by him."
A crew member reminded, "Captain, you haven't gone to sea for a while. The other pirate groups under our command have fought with him a lot, but at that time he was still with other generals."
"In other words, he was recently promoted? Hmm... He seems to be coming directly towards us, and he seems to want to have a fight."
Marco thought for a while and smiled, "If we engage in a battle with him, we will probably suffer a lot of losses. Logia ability users are a group of guys who like to hurt innocent people..."
"But since it's fire... then I might as well go meet him alone!"
Marco's body ignited with golden and green flames:
"Just watch here. The Mariness have been pressing hard recently. If the ship is damaged, it will be too costly to spend more resources on repairing it."
Marco waved his arms, turning into flaming golden and blue wings. With a kick of his feet, he rose into the sky and flew towards the warship!
Zoan·Mythical Zoan·Phoenix Fruit!
"Ah, Captain is also interested. I haven't seen Captain take action for a while."
"Ha, the other party is Logia Flame-Flame Fruit... isn't that the one Satch Captain has always wanted?"
"Well... that's true, but I feel like it would be too wasteful to use Flame-Flame Fruit for cooking."
"Hey! If Marco Captain's flames weren't so special, I'd probably be haunted by Satch Captain!"
"Hahaha!"
"Ha! He actually flew here by himself!"
Everyone on the warship saw a gorgeous figure rising from the flagship of Team Whitebeard from a distance. It was... Marco who transformed into Phoenix Form!
The gorgeous Phoenix flew straight towards the warship, with its golden and green flame wings and long golden flame tail feathers, just like a flying creature from a myth!
"Cavendish If I saw it, I would probably cry with jealousy..."
Ace pressed down on the brim of his hat, assumed a punching posture, and light yellow flames ignited on his right fist:
"It's unreasonable to fly here so arrogantly without saying hello!"
Signaling the sailors to disperse and stay away, Ace grinned and punched out:
"Fire Fist!"
"Boom——"
A rolling heat wave exploded, and a huge pale yellow flaming fist rose into the sky from the bow of the warship and rushed straight towards Phoenix, who was already approaching the warship!
"Shua——"
There was no resistance, and the huge flaming fist completely swallowed up Phoenix in the air. Ace maintained his punching posture and frowned - Fire Fist was hit in the front, and Marco didn't seem to have any reaction!
"Hey! Are young people today so rude when greeting each other?"
The flames dissipated, and Phoenix's form was revealed again—nothing unusual about it.
"The flames were so strong... it scared me!"
"... Who are you lying to?"
Ace's hands turned into two flaming spears, and he threw them heavily at Marco, who had transformed into a human-animal form and was about to land on the warship:
"Divine Fire: Shiranui!"
The flame spear pierced Marco who had just stood firm. Ace stretched his hands forward and released light green flames. Countless small glowing fireballs rushed out from his hands, surrounding Marco tightly.
"Firefly: Fire Daruma!"
"Boom——"
A violent explosion sounded, accompanied by soaring flames. The dual effects of combustion and explosion turned the deck where Marco landed into darkness.
"So... he is such an irritable little guy, 'Fire Fist' Ace!"
When the flames dissipated, Marco's figure reappeared, and he was surrounded by blazing green flames. Some of the areas on his body that were burned black were restored to their original state by the burning of the green flames!
"Um... can you talk properly now?"
Marco looked at Ace who curled his lips and laughed.
