Zizi!
The flames on Ace’s body continued to burn.
Ross stood there calmly, without any fluctuations in his complexion, as if not facing a fight and just feeling the sea breeze.
Ace’s momentum continued to rise.
At last.
When the momentum reached its zenith, he shot out.
“Hiken(Fire Fist)!”
The most common and most frequently used trick was used by Ace, a punch was thrown, and a fiery flame swept through.
In an instant, this flame swallowed up the entire street!
But.
In the face of this explosion, Ross just stretched out his white palm and waved it gently.
It was as if the wind had danced, and the blaze of flames had collapsed and annihilated in front of Ross with one wave!
For a time.
Countless people stared!
“Ace’s Fire Fist … has no effect at all!”
Someone murmured in his heart and his heart vibrated violently. Although Ross had been expected to be very strong, he may be the toughest opponent Ace has faced so far.
But he swipes the Fire Fist with a wave of his hand, he is a little stronger than they had expected!
“It has no effect at all. As Expected, If you can be defeated so easily, you will not be a Yonkō (Four Emperors).”
Ace did not feel discouraged. After realizing that Ross was a bit strong, he was even warier of him.
He must win!
“Hibashira(Fire Piller)!”
Ace leaped up and his arms swayed suddenly, and a towering flame spun up, turning into a pillar of fire, and falling down.
The pillar of fire fell down and devoured everything in all directions.
The blazing flame enveloped Ross for a moment, while Laffitte, who was not far away, stepped back to the distance, avoiding the aftermath of the flame.
“It Hit!”
“Somehow it works.”
Many of Ace’s crew members also stepped back to avoid the aftermath, with a touch of excitement in their eyes.
But.
Just as their words fell, a calm voice came out of the flames, without any emotion in it.
“Is that all the power you have?”
Ross walked out of the flames and the blaze of flames scattered around his body, unable to reach even a trace of his clothes.
Ace’s complexion changed slightly, and he couldn’t help but take a deep breath. Ross’s strength was still a little bit beyond his expectation, but along the way, he also encountered many powerful opponents, such as Marine’s Headquarters Vice-Admiral, but he had defeated them all one by one!
“This is just the beginning!”
Ace snorted and his arms began to glow with fiery flames, the flames condensed into a shape of a spear and he threw it suddenly towards Ross.
“Shinka: Shiranui(God Fire: Unknown Fire)!”
While throwing the flame spear, Ace didn’t pause for a moment and rushed over again, his whole body burst into flame and the flame spear was continuously thrown towards Ross continuously.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Each spear fell down like a heavy cannonball and kept exploding in the field.
The tremendous momentum continues to erupt and the flames ignite and burn, forcing the onlookers to retreat.
“Boss Ace …”
The blazing heatwave swept in all directions causing Ace’s crew to cover their faces and stared nervously into the field.
Ace threw fire spears one after another, and his figure wandered around the field, like a magic weapon.
But.
Just as he threw more than twenty fire spears in a row, a fist suddenly emerged from the fire and landed on Ace’s stomach.
The sky was full of flames.
Ace’s figure was severely hit and he flew backward instantly, smashing a building and creating a human-shaped mark on the wall.
The flames dissipated, and Ross’s figure emerged from the flames, slowly retracting his fists.
“Boss Ace!”
“No way.”
The faces of Ace’s crew members changed as it shows a bit of horror. Ace attacked for a long time and it had no effect. Ross just punched Ace like he was swatting a fly!
How could the gap be so big!
Cough!
Ace, whose back had smashed a cobweb of cracks into the cookie wall, coughed up a mouthful of blood, broke free from the wall and jumped down.
“Well, your physics is not bad.”
Ross looked at Ace and spoke quietly.
If someone totally relies on the fruit ability, their physical skill began to get very ordinary, Ace should not have been able to get up from this punch.
Even if there is no fruit ability, Ace is very strong, which can be seen from Ace’s consistently winning against Luffy and Blackbeard’s evaluation of him as he fought against the Blackbeard Pirates.
Ace gasped twice.
“… You are the strongest opponent I have encountered so far!” He took a deep breath and a look of determination and conviction appeared in his eyes.
But he will win!
“Mirror fire!”
Ace’s flame exploded again, rising into a monstrous flame, sweeping away towards Ross.
He knows that general long-range attacks have no effect on Ross, so while performing this trick, he also charged towards Ross under the cover of the mirror fire.
Huh!
Ross waved his hand, and the horrible mirror fire was broken apart by him.
But at this moment, Ace’s fist mixed with flames appeared in front of Ross.
Ross waved.
Boom!
Ace’s fist was blocked and the flame rolled back in Ace’s own direction, unable to invade Ross.
“Ohh, Haki?”
Ross glanced at Ace’s fist slightly with surprise.
Not only did he feel the flame on Ace’s fist, he also felt a hint of Armament Haki on it.
Unconsciously inspired? Self-awakening?
He has to say that the talents of the brothers, Ace and Luffy really make many people jealous.
“Don’t underestimate me!”
Ace roared loudly as his fist mixed with flames and faint Armament Haki and he punched it towards Ross.
Ross looked calm as he began to observe Ace’s potential while waving his arm to parry Ace’s attack, despite Ace’s crazy onslaught, he always blocked all of Ace’s attacks.
“Even if it’s Haki, is it only that level?”
Ross muttered, after blocking Ace for more than twenty consecutive attacks, he punched out with one hand and broke Ace’s defense.
No power of distortion is used.
It was an ordinary punch.
Boom!
The flames froze all over the sky as Ace’s whole body moved, his body bent into a shrimp shape instantly, and the air vaguely rippled.
His figure flew out like a stray bullet.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three buildings were smashed in a row and Ace’s back slammed against a stone wall before stopping, and blood spewed from his mouth.
“Ac … Boss Ace …”
“He is not an opponent at all, how can this happen, but the strength of Ace boss is …”
Many Ace crew members looked at this scene showing a bit of panic, even if they are stupid, they have realized something at this moment and what they have realized is the gap between Ace and Ross.
It’s like sky and earth, an insurmountable gap!
It’s not that Ace is weak, but Ross’s strength … his strength is a bit outrageous!
