The Power of Listening

Blood splattered as Sengoku grabbed one spear, but another spear tore through flesh and blood and was driven straight into the ground, its tip still trembling.
Burning intense heat caused Sengoku to feel a sharp pain in his hand, and he swung his spear at Ace.
Turning his head slightly, accompanied by a wisp of black hair, Ace looked at Sengoku, three feet off the ground, as flames gathered and slowly burned around him.
"Puff puff"
Ripples spread across the atmosphere, the ground began to melt, and half of Ace's body turned into flames.
Enraged, the giant Buddha radiated blinding golden light, and the surrounding ground began to crack, forming ravines.
"It seems Whitebeard has taught you a lot over the years, which is why you've grown to such a high level in such a short time."
The wrathful aura of King Kong vanished, Sengoku calmly looked at Ace, a superior aura different from Conqueror's Haki swooping down upon him.
"Crack!"
Black and red lightning bolts struck down, the sky churned and clouds surged, and an aura of domineering king emanated from Ace, rivaling Sengoku's oppressive presence.
"Of course, I am Whitebeard's son."
Extremely arrogant, Ace let out a cruel laugh, crossed his arms, and countless green flame-shaped fireflies surrounded Sengoku.
"Firefly · Hidaruma"
Unmoved, Sengoku snorted coldly, and a golden halo bloomed beneath his feet, eventually forming a lotus flower that suddenly blossomed.
"Boom boom boom"
A series of explosions and raging flames engulfed Sengoku, who vanished in the inferno.
Suddenly, Ace smiled and dodged to the right without thinking. At the same time, a Shockwave tore through the ground and spread to destroy houses.
A gust of air swept by, and Sengoku appeared behind Ace without anyone noticing, his right hand raised high, gathering terrifying power.
With a single palm strike, the mountains crumbled and the earth split, but Ace still vanished first.
With a grim expression, Sengoku watched Ace materialize in the distance before vanishing from his spot once more.
Unlike its enormous, bloated body, the speed at which the Sengoku transformed into Buddha not only did not decrease but actually increased significantly.
With his left hand flipped down, Sengoku pressed down again.
As the flames subsided and the bottom shells were pried open, Ace disappeared prematurely once again.
Explosions continued, and the surrounding ravines kept collapsing. After attacking five or six times, Sengoku finally stopped and looked at Ace with a grim expression.
Flames materialized around Ace, Ace revealed a wide grin.
"You not only Awakening Roger's power, but you also mastered it."
With a fierce glare and a cold look in his eyes, the murderous intent in Sengoku's heart grew increasingly intense.
The smile vanished, and anger flashed in Ace's eyes. "Don't mention that person to me. I am me, and he is him. My Pops has always been Whitebeard."
"Stop deceiving yourself. Whitebeard doesn't possess the power to Voice of All Things; whether you admit it or not, you carry the most evil blood in the world—the blood of Gol D. Roger."
The Buddha began to compress, and the golden light on Sengoku's body began to disappear, replaced by an iron body, as if his whole body was being poured with golden sand and glaze. His fists were enveloped in a golden aura, and a halo of light formed behind his head, exuding a sense of holiness.
"The Warrior Buddha"
An overwhelming sense of power spread, and the earth beneath the feet of the Sengoku began to tear apart.
"Shut up."
Flames pressed against him, Ace completely vanished, becoming a human torch. Lava churned around him, and the temperature rose once more.
"Call out"
Transforming into streaks of light, one red and one gold collided; a fighting Buddha and a fiery figure, their elbows generating massive storms that ripped up the surrounding ground, creating a meteor shower that rained down in all directions.
With a fierce expression, the fire man opened his mouth and shot out a pillar of fire, which struck the Buddha squarely in the face.
As he plummeted downwards, the pillar of fire continued to extend and push horizontally, the Buddha's feet sinking deep into the ground as he swayed back and forth; his anger still burning, the Buddha crossed his arms to block in front of him, a halo of light spinning behind his head, then he pushed the pillar of fire aside, letting it graze past him and shoot towards the distant ruins.
A terrifying explosion swept through, and a chasm turned to liquid, sizzling and flowing.
Rushing forward, the Buddha punched the fire-man in the chin, the sound of bones cracking clearly audible. Flames coalesced, accompanied by blood, and a spear carried the Buddha flying, pinning him firmly to the ground.
It crashed down, and the fireman rolled on the ground, unable to hold back his cough of blood.
He got up, his fiery eyes fixed on the viewer, filled with rage.
"Calm down, calm down."
The flames flickered, then gradually subsided.
Pulling out the flaming spear, the Buddha's chest, which had been pierced, quickly recovered, and there was no sign of injury.
"What a pity."
Sengoku sighed, sensing the calm amidst the raging flames. He hadn't expected his opponent to regain his composure so quickly.
The ground cracked open, and the two, who were walking close to the ground, collided again.
Ace ducked to avoid the Buddha's sweeping attack with a knee strike, while simultaneously punching the Buddha in the chest with his right fist.
With a downward push of his left hand, a golden Shockwave and a ring of pressure emanated from the two of them.
Sand and stones flew everywhere, and the scalding liquid on the ground continued to sink. The two people rose into the air, and powerful Shockwave radiated continuously, even scattering the Thundercloud in the sky.
"Fire Fist."
"The Buddha's Impact"
A massive surge of energy erupted, and the two simultaneously coughed up blood, crashing to the ground and leaving a chasm at its end.
"Flame Command - Mirror Flame."
With a roar, the endless flames receded, and the fire man surged forth, creating a sea of fire in his path.
Cracks appeared beneath his feet. Sengoku stood up, looking at the sea of fire rushing towards him, his hands clasped together in a sacred gesture.
With his golden left hand pointing downwards and his right hand pointing upwards, the Buddha, enraged, vanished in the blink of an eye as boundless golden light spread, reappearing before the sea of fire.
"The Buddha's Fury"
The sound was suffocating; everyone watching the live stream felt a sharp pain in their eyes, followed by a deafening roar like an avalanche.
"Puff"
Scalding blood gushed out, and the fire man was blasted apart, turning into a streak of light that smashed a barren mountain before collapsing into the rubble.
At the same time, the Buddha shot forward, leaving a ravine of turmoil behind, his face covered in blood as he fell at the end.
"Incredible, absolutely incredible! I never imagined Fleet Admiral could be so powerful."
"Of course. Before Sengoku became Fleet Admiral, he was Marine Admiral who was on par with naval heroes and Black Arm Zephyr. The title 'Buddha Sengoku' is no joke."
"Zoan, Mythical Zoan, Human- Human-Human Fruit, Buddha Form"
"Compared to Buddha Sengoku, I admire Fire Fist Ace more; he was able to fight to this extent."
On the scene, Luffy knocked away a Rear Admiral, and gritted his teeth as he watched the devastation unfold.
"Ace."
Filled with fighting spirit and sensing Ace's power, Luffy secretly made up his mind.
Neither Sabo nor Ace have changed; they are still as powerful as ever. I must become stronger, otherwise I won't be able to protect anything.
Unnaturally, Luffy's eyes dimmed, because Chopper and Franky were dead.
"Luffy."
While Luffy, several Marines attempted a sneak attack, but Zoro, Usopp, and Robin arrived in time to handle the situation.
The three of them had just received help from the Revolutionary Army, and after taking some recovery medicine and resting for a while, their strength had recovered somewhat.
Of course, these recovery medicines are also domestically produced.
However, this recovery agent is only effective for the weak; it has no effect on stronger individuals.
