The sea churned and surged, as if a monstrous current was brewing beneath the surface, ready to surge forth and shatter the entire warship into pieces. (Source: Tianlai Novels www.23TXT. com)
Uya stood quietly on the deck, her gaze lingering on it, as if she could see through the deck and the sea, and into the water where Jinbe was gathering his Jinbe.
However, Uya's gaze remained calm and composed, as if he had foreseen this scene all along.
"I see, well done, Jinbe!"
Ace also sensed the fluctuations of the ocean current and instantly understood Jinbe's thoughts. After a chuckle, he rushed forward without hesitation to block Uya.
Although he would lose his foothold after the warship was destroyed, with Jinbe Fish-Men, by his side, their situation would obviously be more advantageous.
" Great Flame Commandment!!"
Facing Uya, Ace immediately unleashed his ultimate move, because Uya's earlier act of extinguishing his flames had shown him that ordinary attacks would be utterly ineffective against Uya.
Rumble!!
A towering pillar of fire suddenly erupted from Ace's body, the flames engulfing the entire warship's deck and spreading out onto the sea!
The raging pillar of fire expanded, forcing Ain to take a few steps back, while the other marines had already retreated far away.
However, amidst the raging flames, Uya did not retreat a single step, even allowing the flames to spread and sweep over his body.
Strangely, when the golden and scorching flames passed over Uya, they not only failed to burn Uya, but they didn't even cause a single change to Uya clothing!
Uya looked at Ace indifferently, as if he hadn't seen the towering flames at all, or rather, he had completely ignored the raging fire.
"Although eating the Flame-Flame Fruit turned my body into flames, my fire-playing skills aren't very good. The temperature is far inferior to the inextinguishable Flames of Amaterasu."
As soon as Uya, the scorching flames released by Ace suddenly trembled and rippled outwards.
It was less a rippling sensation and more a collapse, even more like a tremor!
Just like the raging flames unleashed by Ace, they trembled and feared before Uya, daring not to infringe upon Uya in the slightest!
This scene made Ace's pupils shrink, and he once again felt Uya's power.
So Ace no longer dared to be presumptuous, and without hesitation, he suddenly raised one hand towards the sky, while the doctor gave a low shout.
" Flame Emperor!!"
A towering flame suddenly surged up, and the pillar of fire abruptly converged above Ace's palm, instantly transforming into a massive fireball, its flames raging to the heavens!
This enormous fireball, held aloft by Ace with one hand, hung in the air as if the sun had descended upon it, causing countless people to feel its terrifying heat.
Even the surrounding seawater began to sizzle, releasing steam into the air under the heat of the flames.
The ordinary sailors had already taken refuge inside the warships, but some still couldn't withstand the temperature. They were all drenched in sweat, staring in horror at Ace, who was engulfed in flames and holding up a Ace.
drink!!
Ace, holding the massive fireball in one hand, suddenly let out a low shout and hurled the Uya at Yu Ye.
The enormous fireball formed from the golden flames resembled a sun crashing down, its power immense, and the surrounding seawater even began to boil.
Uya watched the scorching and enormous fireball crash down, yet his eyes remained calm, as if he were looking down from above, casually flicking his finger.
Silently.
Suddenly, a strange black flame appeared at Uya Uya's fingertip. With a flick of his finger, the black flame was Setsuna thrown into the huge fireball.
It was none other than the inextinguishable Flames of Amaterasu!
The seemingly insignificant black flame, upon falling into the golden fireball, Setsuna underwent a dramatic transformation, much like a spark falling into gasoline, spreading Setsuna.
Buzz!!
Almost instantly, the black flames suddenly swelled, transforming the enormous golden fireball into a sinister black fireball in the blink of an eye!
In that instant, Ace completely lost control of the fireball.
"This... this is impossible!!"
Watching Uya flick a finger and release a tiny black flame that Setsuna engulfed his Flame Emperor, Ace's face finally showed a look of horror and disbelief.
"My flames, actually..."
He clearly saw that the eerie black flames directly used his flames as fuel, or rather, his flames were actually ignited by the black flames!
The flames actually ignited! It's unbelievable!
"Although I don't particularly enjoy playing with fire, you're still a long way off when it comes to it."
Uya reached out and grabbed at the air, and the enormous black fireball suddenly shrank. Under Uya's control, it instantly converged towards the center, finally transforming into a black flame only the size of a fist, which hovered in Uya's hand.
Uya glanced at Ace indifferently, then casually flicked his finger, and the black fireball suddenly emitted a wisp of flame, like a sword burning with black flames, shooting straight towards Ace.
" Cross Fire!!"
Ace saw the black flames shooting towards him, his eyes still showing a hint of disbelief. He gritted his teeth, crossed his index fingers in front of him, and a cross of flames suddenly shot out.
The cross-shaped flames and Flames of Amaterasu collided suddenly, but it was like gasoline meeting a raging fire. The Flames of Amaterasu and spread in Setsuna, landing on Ace's body.
The Setsuna the black flames touched Ace's body, they spread directly towards him, and Ace was completely unable to stop them!
"Damn it! What kind of fire is this?!"
Ace was utterly horrified. This was the first time he had ever encountered a flame that he couldn't control at all, and that this flame could even ignite his own fire!
Moreover, it was only the moment Ace came into contact with Fire of Amaterasu that he truly felt the terror of this black flame. The power contained within it made him feel a hellish horror almost instantly!
"Turn it off!!"
Ace frantically mobilized his power, trying to resist the erosion of Flames of Amaterasu, but instead, the Flames of Amaterasu instantly enveloped his entire body.
Although he is in Elementalization state and can negate damage, Flames of Amaterasu can even burn his own flames, making it nearly impossible to completely negate the damage from Flames of Amaterasu!
Fire Fist Ace, who was originally wrapped in golden flames, is now engulfed in jet-black flames, as if he has been cursed by hell!
However, Ace was, after all, the second division commander of Whitebeard's army, and he was exceptionally talented. At this final moment, he desperately unleashed his own flames, not to fight against Fire of Amaterasu, but to throw out a portion of his flames along with Fire of Amaterasu.
Buzz!!!
The black Fire of Amaterasu, instantly enveloped in golden flames, scattered in all directions. Most of it landed directly on the sea, while the small portion that fell towards the warships was extinguished by Uya's wave of his hand.
From the moment Flame Emperor Yan was consumed by Fire of Amaterasu to the moment Ace was set ablaze by Fire of Amaterasu, only a few breaths had passed. Yet, the events that unfolded in those few breaths left the navy on the warship, and even Uya's adjutant, Ain, speechless with astonishment.
Thump!!
Ace, who threw out part of his flames along with Fire of Amaterasu, was not unharmed. He collapsed to his knees on the deck of the warship, his hands bracing against the deck as he gasped for breath.
There was still a hint of disbelief in his gaze as he looked at Uya.
If Uya defeated him using swordsmanship or other power, he wouldn't be surprised. Although he was a bit like Luffy, reckless, he wasn't stupid, and he was well aware of the gap between him and Uya.
But the thought of giving up never crossed his mind; no matter how strong the enemy was, he would not give up.
However, to Ace's near disbelief, Uya defeated him not by any other means, but by using what Ace was best at: fire!
Having eaten the Flame-Flame Fruit, Ace, a fire-man, was actually defeated by fire—something Ace had never imagined!
At this moment, Ace could no longer even stand. He was breathing heavily, and his gaze inadvertently fell on the surface of the sea. Once again, his eyes widened, and he was even a little shocked.
He was shocked to see that the strange black flames he had desperately thrown out earlier were now burning on the surface of the sea!
This flame can even ignite the ocean! (To be continued.)
