You Want to Join the Seven Deadly Sins Too?

[Master, you might find this morning's news interesting.]

"Another World Military Draft?"

[No, it's about a certain pirate.]

As soon as he finished speaking, a scene flashed into Dimon's mind.

It was a breakfast shop in Lawless Area, where customers were eating breakfast while flipping through the morning's newspapers.

"Isn't it still World Military Draft?"

The front page headlines were still about World Military Draft, and Morgans wasn't going to let such a hot topic slip by.

[In the back corner.]

After Ain's reminder, Dimon patiently continued reading.

Finally, in a small corner of the newspaper, I found a piece of news about a certain pirate.

Supernovas Ace of Spades attacks the Selly Kingdom.

What would normally be a front-page story has been relegated to a small corner of the newspaper due to the World Military Draft boom.

Dimon glanced at it and finished reading.

"Speaking of which, it's been a while since I've heard from Ace."

The last time they met was back in the East Blue, when Dimon made a special trip for the Flame-Flame Fruit.

How is he doing now?

Dimon doesn't watch the news often, but Ain does every day, so he answered the question fluently.

[Ace founded the Spade Pirates and, after entering the Grand Line, made rapid progress, now Supernovas with a bounty of 255 million.]

[The bounty of 255 million is the latest, because he attacked a royal ship; the real motive wasn't mentioned in the news.]

As expected of the Pirate King's son, even without the Flame-Flame Fruit, he easily became a Pirate Supernovas.

Dimon smiled and said, "His current title is Spade?"

[Yes, Ace is now Paramecia -type Devil Fruit User, specializing in using Spade playing cards as a means of attack, hence his nickname "Spade."]

Is that so...?

I thought it was "Spade" from the Spade Pirates.

Dimon paused, "Ace ate the fruit?"

[That was news from last month. The first time his bounty exceeded 100 million was because he defeated a Marine Vice Admiral.]

Master, do you think Ace shouldn't have eaten the Devil Fruit?

"No..."

Dimon was speechless. Whether Ace ate a Devil Fruit or not was unimportant; what mattered was why he never encountered one.

He painstakingly stole all the Devil Fruits from the Seven Deadly Sins.

They're either extorting the Four Emperors or taking on the Marine Headquarters...

Aside from Mammon and Ain at the beginning, every Devil Fruit I acquired afterward was a struggle.

Of course, he works behind the scenes, so he doesn't have to endure much hardship.

"Speaking of which, the Selly Kingdom, I remember it's quite close to the Sabaody Archipelago, isn't it?"

[Yes, Master. The news is from three days ago. Based on the average speed of a pirate ship, the Spade Pirates should be arriving at Sabaody Archipelago soon.]

Starting from Reverse Mountain, the entrance to the Grand Line, seven magnetic routes can be identified based on the distribution of magnetic forces.

No matter which route they take, they will eventually meet in the Sabaody Archipelago.

To be precise, it wasn't a meeting, but rather a forced trip to the Sabaody Archipelago.

If you follow the Log Pose pointer, the pirate ship will sail all the way to the Red Line, and then you'll see the pointer pointing to the seabed.

At this point, we must find a way to coat the ship; otherwise, we cannot continue.

The Sabaody Archipelago is where the coating was applied.

Sabaody Archipelago, offshore.

The Striker.

This is a two-masted sailing ship, with a large black sail on the foremast bearing the pirate flag of the Spade Pirates.

On deck, Deuce lowered his binoculars and shouted excitedly:

"Ace! We can see the Sabaody Archipelago! But I have bad news, do you want to hear it?"

Where? Where is the Sabaody Archipelago?

Ace rushed out of the cabin excitedly, snatched the binoculars from Deuce's hand, and while observing the sea ahead and eating his food, asked indistinctly:

"What bad news?"

"There are several warships nearby. If we get too close, we might be attacked."

Upon hearing Deuce's words, Ace indeed spotted three Marine warships patrolling nearby through his binoculars.

"I heard that the Sabaody Archipelago is divided into lawless and Lawless Area. That should be a naval-controlled area, right? We'll land from the other side."

The Striker immediately turned around, and under the helmsman's control, the ship quickly headed towards the other side of the island.

Area 11.

As the ship gradually approached the shore, Ace and his companions witnessed a horrifying scene.

Just as a large, coated pirate ship was about to sink into the sea, a jet-black slash suddenly swept across from the island.

The slash instantly split the ship in two, and the pirates on board screamed as the ship slowly sank, broken into two pieces.

The man dressed as the captain looked angrily at the shore and roared:

"Who is it!? Damn it! We're just about to set off for Fish-Man Island! Who is this bastard?!"

"Sorry, you're blocking my friend's parking."

Dimon twirled his sword, slowly Jijue Sword, before glancing at the smaller pirate ship and greeting it with a light laugh.

"Yo, Sassy Buridana, Ace."

Chapter 180 You also want to join the Seven Deadly Sins?

The man standing on the shore, cleaving a pirate ship in two with a single stroke...

Ace rubbed his eyes and exchanged a glance with Deuce, both seeing shock in each other's eyes.

The sniper, Mihal, was a tall, thin man wearing a black top hat. Upon seeing this, he couldn't help but laugh:

"Ace, is that someone we know? He looks like a pretty skilled swordsman."

"He's an acquaintance... or rather, my savior." Ace waved at Dimon, his face beaming.

"Hey! Mr. Zoro! Long time no see!"

Dimon simply smiled and didn't shout from a distance.

Observing the people on Ace's ship, according to my Observation Haki, there were a total of 20 auras, including Ace himself, and their composition was complex.

There were Longarm Tribe swordsmen, Fish-Man Race boys, and even a large lynx sleeping on the deck.

Soon, the coated ship, which had been cut in two by Dimon, sank completely to the bottom of the sea, making it convenient for Ace's ship to dock.

Before the ship had even come to a complete stop, Ace couldn't wait and jumped off the side of the ship, landing right in front of Dimon.

"Mr. Zoro, what are you doing in this...?"

Before he could finish speaking, the former pirate captain had already climbed ashore from the sea. He drew his sword and angrily slashed at Dimon.

"You bastard, die!"

With his back to the man, Ace flipped his right palm as the man made his move, and a puff of white smoke appeared between his index and middle fingers, revealing a playing card.

He flicked his wrist backward, and the playing card struck the pirate captain precisely on the forehead, embedding itself in his skull.

The next instant, the pirate captain, with a fierce expression, fell straight backward.

Upon seeing this, Dimon couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He had seen the Paramecia- Poker-Poker Fruit in the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia, but he didn't have a deep impression of what kind of ability it was.

"It's been a while, and your strength has improved considerably. That was Armament Haki just now, wasn't it?"

"That's right, I learned it from a Marine Vice Admiral I fought a while ago."

Ace grinned, his eyes blazing with fierce fighting spirit.

He recalled their first meeting, during which they had a friendly sparring session, but he was no match for them then.

Things are different now!

Upon seeing his expression, Dimon understood what Ace was thinking, and a slight smile crept onto his lips.

"Thinking you've mastered Armament Haki and made it all the way to the end of the first half of the Grand Line, do you think you can defeat me?"

"Let's fight, Mr. Zoro!"

Let me show you how naive your thinking is.

Boom!

Dimon's gaze sharpened, and a burst of crimson lightning flashed from the corner of his eye.

The Conqueror's Haki shot out like a crimson streak towards Ace, who was not far away.

Faced with the impact of this Conqueror's Haki, Ace instantly felt his consciousness sinking, as if a heavy mountain was pressing down on him.

"What... what kind of power is this?!"

The crimson snake coiled around Ace like a venomous serpent, Ace was shocked to find that he could not move at all.

No, it's not just that I can't move.

His vision blurred, and Dimon appeared as a double image. In his view, the person standing not far away seemed like a terrifying, man-eating monster, opening its abyssal maw towards him, ready to devour him at any moment.

With a thud.

Unable to withstand the mental impact of Conqueror's Haki, Ace's knees buckled, and he half-knelt on the ground.

"Hahoo... Hahoo..."

Ace was panting heavily, his forehead covered in sweat.

At this moment, the remaining members of the Spade Pirates disembarked and came to their captain's side.

Deuce knew the situation but said nothing. The rest of the group looked serious, and one of the more boisterous pirates shouted at Dimon:

What did you do to Ace?

"I'm fine, don't worry!"

Ace felt the pressure suddenly disappear and immediately raised his hand to stop the crew.

Dimon couldn't help but laugh, "Being obedient now? You're still a thousand years too early to think you can beat me."

What was that just now?

Ace calmed his rapid breathing, stood up and asked, feeling that this power was somewhat familiar.

I occasionally experienced this special power when I was young.

"The Conqueror's Haki Haki of a conqueror."

Dimon explained kindly, "Now that you've mastered Armament Haki, you should also know that Haki is divided into three types: Observation Haki, Armament Haki, and Conqueror's Haki."

"Conqueror's Haki? I think I also have that power, but I used it by chance, and I haven't been able to use it since."

Ace's eyes lit up, and he quickly recovered from the disappointment of "the second defeat," asking questions with great interest.

He had already Awakening his Conqueror's Haki when he was 10 years old.
