Flame-Flame Fruit Awakening

Even so, they still dominated Ace.

The difference in quality is too great.

It was so large it was despair-inducing... For example, Ace at this moment, looking at Moke on the ground, felt completely unwell.

Moke was a little younger than him.

If this strength is truly despair-inducing!

Previously, he had always believed that his Pops was the most powerful person in the world.

Although the title of the World's Strongest person later fell to Moke, he was never satisfied... He felt that it was because his Pops was old, and old injuries and illnesses had greatly reduced his strength.

That's why Moke took away the title.

But now... it has to be said that Moke's strength has reached a level that is beyond his reach.

If Pops, Hawkeye, and Red-Hair are considered to be at the same level of Emperor Level powerhouses, then this guy in front of us is already a being who surpasses even Emperor Level powerhouses.

However, he was still unwilling to give up.

The Pops, and the entire Whitebeard Pirates, were already his home and his family... He absolutely would not allow anyone to defeat the Whitebeard Pirates.

Because that foreshadows the disbandment of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Does he still have a home?

Absolutely, absolutely not!

"Great Flame Commandment - Will-o'-the-Wisp!~"

Ace finally used his strongest move, which was also his last trump card.

He used his power to create numerous rings of flame, which then formed a colossal fire dragon. This fire dragon was even larger than the dragon bodies of Moke and Kaido after their transformations.

Its form was over a thousand meters tall, hovering in the sky, looking down at the ground. It was as if a dragon god in the heavens was looking down upon all living beings...

Moke's eyes flickered slightly upon seeing this.

This dragon was not only larger than the previous Flame Emperor in size, but it also made a leap forward in quality.

It's no longer just plain white.

Instead, it was white with a hint of gold.

Moke looked at the dragon and even saw a hint of emotion in its eyes.

"Holy crap..."

Moke was stunned, thinking to himself, "Could Ace have developed the Flame-Flame Fruit to the Awakening level? He actually gave the flames 'life'..."

Most importantly, this flame has reached the highest level in the mortal realm!

Look, the space around this fiery dragon is distorted.

"Sail..."

Marco, who had been calm and composed when facing Flame Emperor, was now anxious.

Jozu and Vista exchanged a glance, both of them breaking out in a cold sweat. They had seen this move before, only three years ago... but back then, the dragon wasn't this big.

There was no gold color either.

Longan fruit is not as lively.

Although its power was terrifying, even stronger than the Flame Emperor, it was only marginally stronger... Back then, when they faced this attack, they were confident they could survive. But now, facing it again, they no longer had that confidence.

For the past three years, neither of them has been playing around.

The overall strength displayed by the Moke Pirates, in particular, put them under unprecedented pressure, which is why they have been training desperately for the past three years.

Their own strength has definitely improved to a higher level.

However, the gap between him and Ace is widening... Indeed, his Pops's judgment was correct.

They looked at Moke again.

If it weren't for this guy's appearance, Ace would have followed his Pops's arrangements and become the next captain of the Whitebeard Pirates. At that time, the Whitebeard Pirates would have dominated the New World for another era.

But now...

Ace remained motionless in the air, and Moke didn't move either.

Marco, meanwhile, led a group of people away into the distance, until they were more than a kilometer away...

Ace then said to Moke, "If you take this move, I'll admit defeat!"

Moke chuckled upon hearing this, "With my spatial abilities, I can easily teleport away your attack. It won't harm me at all... However, to convince you, I'll show you a portion of my mid-to-high level strength."

"Um?"

Ace's eye twitched, even though he knew that Moke hadn't used his full strength yet.

However, listening to Moke's words was truly heartbreaking.

"Go..."

It hurt, but Ace didn't hesitate for a second. With a wave of his hand, the fiery dragon in the air lashed out with its tail, charging directly at Moke on the ground.

Moke raised his hand.

A Space Barrier appeared before them, blocking Moke behind it.

"Rumble..."

The next second, Ace's fiery dragon slammed into the Space Barrier. The impact was so terrifying that Moke had never seen anything like it before. In just one moment, cracks appeared in his Space Barrier.

Moke's pupils contracted slightly.

This is the first ability besides Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit that can shatter space.

Even the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, known as the most destructive Logia Fruit, is something Enel cannot accomplish yet.

If it was just speculation before, he is now absolutely certain. Ace's Flame-Flame Fruit has definitely reached the Awakening level. Otherwise, it would definitely be stronger than the Rumble-Rumble Fruit in terms of destructive power.

"Click click..."

Most importantly, this enormous fire dragon's power goes far beyond what's already shown... and it continues to exert its force.

The Space Barrier in front of Moke could no longer withstand the pressure. Spatial Rift spread rapidly and soon covered the entire Space Barrier.

Upon seeing this, Moke's eye twitched involuntarily.

He knew Ace's attack was incredibly powerful, but he hadn't expected it to be this terrifying. Indeed, once any ability reaches the Awakening level, its power increases dramatically.

Moreover, it's the Flame-Flame Fruit, Logia Fruit with considerable power.

At this point, he dared not be careless.

The Space Barrier before us is about to collapse under the immense attack of the flames. If we afford to be careless again... we might suffer a humiliating defeat... Although we wouldn't be seriously injured, we'd lose face big time.

Thinking about this...

Moke's Armament Haki surged forth, wrapping around his hands and transforming into a shield twice his height, forming a second line of defense.

Moreover, the shield is flame-colored, even though it was made using the Ryuo.

This is definitely Moke's strongest defense.

There is none other than that.

Anyone whose Haki isn't as strong as his will find it harder than climbing to heaven to break through this defense.

The next second, the Space Barrier shattered completely. The enormous fire dragon slammed straight into his Armament Haki shield.

"Rumble..."

Flames flew everywhere, but they did not budge the Armament Haki shield in the slightest.

"How is that possible?"

Ace's eyes widened in disbelief at the sight.
