One Piece: Invasion of the Heavens

"Whitebeard, suffer death!"

boom!

Ace smashes through the wall and crashes into the Moby-Dick's guardrail.

Margao took the wine bottle and said, "Here we go again, how many times has this happened, won't this kid give up?"

Everyone laughed. Because of Ace, the Whitebeard Pirates have been a lot more lively recently.

That day, the battle between Ace and Jinbe ended in a draw. Of course, if this continues, Jinbei, who has more experience and more balanced strength, is likely to win. But it was Whitebeard who took over the fight.

Ace, who was able to compete with Jinbei, was knocked down by Whitebeard's punch. Then Whitebeard, who was optimistic about him, accepted Ace just as Shitian remembered.

But Ace didn't appreciate it. After getting on the ship, he would assassinate Whitebeard from time to time, although he never succeeded.

Shitian put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up and walked towards Ace.

Margao asked: "What are you going to do?"

Shi Tian waved his hand and said, "As an elder brother, shouldn't I educate my rebellious family members for my father?"

Margao smiled and said: "You guy, you actually call yourself brother!"

Shitian ignored Margao's teasing and came directly to Ace.

Whitebeard's punch that knocked him away was obviously not serious, and it had no other effect except causing him some pain.

Shi Tian looked at him and said, "Boy, when will you be able to see yourself clearly!"

Ace rubbed the chest that was hit, looked at Shi Tian and said, "I don't understand what you are talking about!"

Shi Tian grabbed Ace's clothes, and Ace wanted to hide, but on the one hand, his chest was still in pain, and on the other hand, Shi Tian's outstretched hand was obviously not very fast, but it seemed to have blocked all his escape directions.

In Ace's eyes, grabbing this hand was like the sky falling, and the momentum was simply despairing.

Shitian grabbed Ace's clothes and said to Malgao: "I'll go and enlighten this kid, and I'll be back soon."

With that said, Shi Tian already carried Ace and flew up, disappearing on the other side of the island.

After finding a suitable open space, Shitian casually dropped Ace on the ground.

Ace's mind was still blank until now, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. He stood up and looked at Shi Tian and said, "What exactly do you want to do by bringing me here?"

Shitian took out the Zanpakutō from his waist and said, "I've seen enough of your sad face! Anyway, I'm not good at persuading others, so let me use fighting to make you see yourself clearly."

Ace said warily: "Don't think I'm afraid of you!"

"Don't get me wrong!"

As soon as he spoke, Shitian suddenly appeared in front of Ace, and the knife wrapped around Haki had already been chopped off.

At the critical moment, Ace used the techniques he learned from Sawada Tsunayoshi to push himself out of Tokiten's attack range. But before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Shi Tian followed him again in the next moment.

"Whether you approach rashly, approach cautiously, or don't approach at all, the result is the same. I'm not predicting the future. Your failure is already an established fact. You are now... full of flaws."

After kicking Ace away, Shi Tian said calmly: "Let me tell you what the so-called power is used to describe."

It is said that Aizen is indeed the king of the generation, and when he speaks famous lines, he feels that his popularity is rising sharply.

However, Ace's mood was not so good. He finally knew what kind of power Shitian, the captain of the 16th Division of the Whitebeard Pirates and comparable to the Yonko Shanks, possessed.

No wonder he left Shanks, and when he said he wanted to challenge Whitebeard, Shanks told him so seriously to be careful about this person.

Apart from Whitebeard, this was the first time he encountered such a terrifying opponent.

But now that he's on the sea, Ace won't be afraid of any enemies.

A circle of flames burned around him, and Ace said, "Are you looking down on me? I must defeat you!"

Shi Tian smiled and said: "You talk about defeating me, but you keep such a long distance. But! I want to tell you, keeping a distance only makes sense in an evenly matched battle. The distance between you and me is Pointless."

With that said, Shitian came to Ace in a blink of an eye and put his hand on his chest.

"Look, I can easily touch your heart!"

Ace's pupils narrowed and he hurriedly waved his fist to hit Shi Tian in front of him.

The flames exploded, and Ace quickly retreated with the force of the impact.

Tokiten swung his Zanpakuto, and the sword pressure directly cut away all the flames and smoke caused by the explosion.

"You also have to think about me. If you want to step on ants without being crushed to death, it's difficult to control the power!"

Ace's face was full of anger: "Asshole, how much you look down on me!"

"fire punch!"

This time the fire fist was much bigger than before, and it could be seen that Ace was really angered by Shi Tian. This is exactly the purpose of Shitian.

It is only in the most angry situations that a person's innermost will is revealed.

"The wave is my shield, and the thunder is my blade, Pisces!"

The knife in Shitian's hand split into two and turned into two strange-shaped knives connected by a rope.

Pointing a knife at Ace's fire fist, the giant flame fist hit the tip of the knife and disappeared into the air as if it had been absorbed.

On the rope connecting the two knives, five signs lit up one after another. Shitian then pointed another knife at Ace.

Flames spurted out from the blade, directly attacking the horrified Ace.

Ace, who was hit by the flames, flew out directly. For those with natural devil fruit abilities, in addition to their Haki, energy attacks can also touch their physical bodies.

Even if Ace himself can turn into flames, he will still take damage if he is hit by the flames.

That was Ace's own full blow, not to mention that the Pisces Li in Shitian's hand did more than just return the opponent's energy attack.

The five brands on the knife are used to deal with the intensity and direction of the absorbed energy, so the flames returned by Shitian are more concentrated and stronger.

Ace, who survived the fire attack, stood there, his arm that blocked the fire attack already showing burns.

But Shitian did not take the opportunity to pursue him, and the Zanpakutō in his hand returned to its unreleased state.

"You also feel the confusion in your own flame! Ace, how long are you going to persist in things that don't matter? You can't become stronger like this."

Ace looked at Shi Tian and said, "What do you know about me?"

Shi Tian frowned and said: "I don't need to know too much, fighting can explain everything. If you still don't understand, I can only let you see what a truly powerful flame looks like!"

"Everything in the world is turned into ashes, and the blades flow like fire."

Ace felt the scorching flames on Tokiten's blade, and suddenly thought of Sawada Tsunayoshi, who also used flames.

Although it feels like one person's flame is gentle and inclusive of all things, another person is as blazing as the sun. But the flames of these two people also contain unshakable will and consciousness.

……

On the Moby Dick, Margao looked at the flames rising into the sky on the other side of the island and couldn't help but joked: "That guy Shitian is so ruthless!"

Just as he was sighing, the fire went out, and not long after, Shitian returned to the ship carrying the embarrassed Ace.

That night, no one knew what Ace said when he took the initiative to find Whitebeard. They only knew that Ace began to integrate into the Whitebeard Pirates the next day, and only then did he truly become a new family member.

Shitian pulled Ace and introduced everyone on the ship to him.

"These are some cadres from our 16th Division. They are the same Shinigami as me. They are three interesting guys!"

"How about it, Eri is cute! She is my proud little sister!"

"Margao, you are already familiar with me. Let me introduce you to the other captains."

……

Soon, Shi Tian pulled Ace to a fat man who was described as sloppy.

"His name is Teach. Don't look at him like this. There is no reward, but if there is a fight, I may not be his opponent!"

Ace showed a surprised expression and said: "So there is such a strong person in the pirate group! How rude!"

As he spoke, he bowed to Teach.

Tiqi felt embarrassed in his heart, but he had to help Ace up and said: "No, Captain Shitian is too humble!"

How could Shi Tian let him go and said, "I'm not exaggerating. Have you seen the red-haired guy? The scars on the red-haired face were left by Tiqi!"

Ace looked at Tikki in surprise, while Tikki was embarrassed. This is different from his low-key strategy!

Shi Tian was smiling on the side, this way Ace would not rashly fight against Teach!

Although Shitian is well prepared to face war, it is better to reduce the risk!
