Ace Was Finally Rescued (2)

"Damn it!"

"That Sakazuki!"

Garp clenched his fists tightly. From the look of it, he truly wanted to make a move.

Given Garp's strength, if he stepped in now, he could still help the two brothers, Luffy and Ace, block Sakazuki's attack.

However.

Sengoku, standing beside him, saw through Garp's intentions and calmly said, "Garp, mind your position!"

At Sengoku's words.

Garp, who had been ready to act, made no further movements. He could only grit his teeth and watch, his furious eyes already bloodshot as his entire body trembled nonstop.

All of a sudden.

Sakazuki's magma fist shot toward the two brothers, Ace and Luffy.

"Ace!"

"Luffy!"

Everyone cried out in panic.

Yet.

In that instant.

Boom...

A blazing mass of flames erupted, swallowing Sakazuki's magma fist in endless, scorching fire.

"Hm?"

"What's going on?"

Even Sakazuki himself was somewhat surprised.

The very next second.

A passage suddenly opened within those scorching flames. Before anyone could see what was happening inside, a pillar of fire soared into the sky and slammed straight toward Sakazuki's face.

However.

Sakazuki was a Marine Admiral!

And he possessed the power of the Logia Devil Fruit, the Magma-Magma Fruit. A fire attack of this level was easily avoided as he transformed into magma, unable to inflict any damage on him at all.

Even so.

Sakazuki had indeed dodged that fire attack by transforming his body into magma, but he was also forced back several steps.

The blazing fireball was still expanding. Though it might not cause Sakazuki much harm, it was better to retreat a few steps and assess the situation just in case.

Very soon.

A confident voice came from within the flames.

"Luffy!"

"You're always like this, you reckless brat! You never listen to me!"

That was right!

It was Fire
