Ace's Admiration, Gate of Death Opened

Big Mom's voice echoed in everyone's ears.

It sent chills down countless spines.

Especially her children, who knew Big Mom was truly furious this time!

"Prometheus!"

"Zeus!"

As Big Mom's words fell, the thundercloud and sun floating to her left and right, both given form by the Soul-Soul Fruit, immediately transformed.

The aura they gave off became even more terrifying.

"Zero, let me taste just how delicious your soul is!"

"Who knows? Could he be a race even rarer than giants or demons, with some kind of racial talent?"

Everyone was offering their own opinions, but no one got it right.

Up in the sky, Ace watched the scene before him.

His eyes seemed to sparkle with little stars.

He stared at Roya with a face full of admiration.

For the first time, he realized that
