East China Sea, Xiluobu Village.

"Thank you all for your generosity, I'm very grateful!" The two Ace brothers got on the boat and bowed politely to say goodbye to everyone.

In order to thank them for repelling the fishmen, the wealthy family in the village specially entertained the two of them and provided them with supplies.

"Hey, Usopp!"

After getting along for a day, Luffy had become friends with this long-nosed boy.

"We have made an appointment. When I go to sea, you must be my companion!" Luffy grinned and showed his white teeth, looking forward to the future of going to sea.

Usopp also had a happy smile on his face, and he kept the future agreement in mind.

"I know, you must come to me when the time comes!"

The process of establishing friendship between two people who are very similar in age and personality is extremely simple, but it is also profound beyond words.

Luffy, who followed Ace to the sea, realized that his own strength was shallow after experiencing several battles.

He also made up his mind that after dealing with Hody, he would return to Windmill Village to strengthen his training and wait for the arrival of 17 years old.

The boat left the shore and gradually drifted into the distance.

"Hey Luffy!" Usopp panted and chased after him.

Ace looked at the young man in front of him in surprise, who was holding a large bag of things in his hand.

"I...I want to come with you too!"

"Going to sea is no child's play." Ace frowned.

"You are going to deal with that fish-man pirate group, please let me help!"

"Hey Usopp, don't mess around!" the villager who followed heard this and hurriedly scolded him.

Although they occasionally get annoyed with this deceitful kid, they know that he is not a bad-hearted person.

In their opinion, going against those fishmen was no different than sending him to death, so naturally they were unwilling to let him go to sea.

Usopp put his hands on his hips and said loudly: "Now is a major event that affects the entire East China Sea. How can the great Captain Usopp not participate!"

Luffy laughed loudly when he heard this, "That's right. As the scheduled crew member of the future Pirate King, how can you be afraid!"

"You guy." Ace sighed helplessly, not knowing what to do with this arrogant younger brother.

"Goodbye everyone, I'll be back once I've dealt with the Fish-Man Pirates!" Usopp waved to everyone and climbed onto the boat while dripping water.

"Captain, you have to be careful!" Onion and the other three waved goodbye worriedly.

"Don't worry, goodbye!"

Amid everyone's farewells, the boat drifted away.

………………

Shuangyue Village is located somewhere in the East China Sea. Due to its remote location, few people know about it.

As the most famous place in the village, Isshin Dojo is bustling with activity almost every day.

A middle-aged man wearing round glasses is teaching his disciples how to swing the sword. He is none other than the master of the Isshin Dojo, Frosty Koushiro.

"Master! Master!"

A quick voice sounded, and a young man came in a hurry.

"What's so frustrating?"

The young man pointed outside and panted: "Senior Brother Sauron, he...he went to sea!"

Koushiro raised his eyebrows when he heard this, but was not too surprised.

Not long ago, the fish-man pirates invaded Shuangyue Village and plundered everywhere.

Sauron led his disciples to participate in the battle. After repelling a group of murlocs, he was defeated by the murloc leader due to lack of physical strength.

In the end, it was Koushiro who took action to suppress the riot.

Sauron was unable to calm down after the incident and began to exercise frantically. He who originally focused on practicing swords also had thoughts of going to sea.

Koushiro saw everything in his eyes and chose to support his apprentice's thoughts. Zoro's departure to sea was also expected by him.

After all, you have to go out to sea and gain experience to grow.

On the vast sea, there is a small boat like a flat boat, and a green-haired boy is looking at the sky with his arms on his head.

After experiencing what happened last time, Sauron had doubts about his own strength, and he also understood the truth that only constant challenges can lead to improvement.

The boat drifted aimlessly on the sea, slowly heading towards the place guided by the sea.

………………

Cocoa Village.

The blue-haired Nuo Qigao was hanging clothes to dry, and he was already accustomed to the fishmen passing by.

Recently, Hodi has increased the protection fee collection. The villagers are helpless but do not dare to resist.

The notoriety of the New Fishman Pirates spread almost throughout the East China Sea. With their overwhelming strength, they occupied various regions in a short period of time and became the well-deserved overlord of the East China Sea.

Smoker guards Rogge Town. While strengthening the defense, he also has to keep an eye on the Fish-Man Pirates, which seems a bit inadequate.

Nowadays, Cocosia Village has basically become an entertainment venue for fishmen, and the villagers only dare to come out for activities at night.

Nokigao was about to enter the house when there was noise in the distance.

Nami just got off the boat and entered the village, and saw many fishmen surrounding her.

"Little Nami is back, it's been really hard~" The words were full of sarcasm, and the fishman took pleasure in it.

Nami ignored the other party's ridicule and lowered her head as she passed by him.

A fishman stopped her and whispered: "Boss Aaron is calling you."

Nami frowned, then turned to smile, "I only know Boss Hody."

"You!" The person who came was none other than the former evil dragon cadre. Seeing Nami's attitude, he felt angry.

"What a powerful guy." The tall figure walked over, it was Aaron.

Nowadays, Aaron is responsible for guarding Cocosia Village. Hodi completely treats him as an ordinary fishman and drives him. He has long been unhappy in his heart.

"This is not a suitable place for talking. Come with me." Aaron said calmly.

"Sorry, I still have something to talk to Captain Hody." Nami said and left.

Aaron grabbed her arm and said in a low voice, "Don't think that I don't dare to kill you!"

"He and I are of the same race. What do you think will happen if you kill a human?" Aaron bent down and narrowed his eyes, staring at the girl closely. "You'd better be obedient, otherwise I'll let you accompany that woman!"

Nami's pupils shrank, and an uncontrollable anger surged in her heart.

"Snapped--"

A crisp voice resounded throughout the audience, and a faint red mark appeared on Aaron's face.

After a brief silence, laughter erupted all around.

"Hahaha, how funny!"

"It's so pitiful to be slapped in the face by a human, Boss Aaron~"

The Fishman Pirates didn't care what his seniority was, they all started to ridicule him when they saw this.

Aaron's heart boiled with anger, and he slapped the girl away.

A fruit rolled to the ground, but Aaron ignored it and crawled straight towards Nami who fell to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Nokigao hurriedly ran over to protect the girl, "Don't mess around, Nami is protected by Hody now..."

Before she could finish her words, she was slapped to the ground by Aaron.

While Aaron was furious, Noqigao also mentioned Hody, which made him even more furious.

"I am going to kill you!"

Despair flashed in Noki's eyes, but Nami lowered her head and remained silent.

Aaron grabbed the fruit on the ground and watched it for a moment, then slammed it on Nami's head.

Blood oozed from the girl's forehead, and the fruit looked extremely bright after being stained with red blood.

Aaron slapped the girl on the face again and grabbed her head hard.

There was blood flowing from the corners of Nami's nose and mouth, but she didn't show much expression. She just picked up the bloody fruit tremblingly and was about to feed it into her mouth.

"If you want to eat before you die, then eat quickly!" Aaron violently pressed the fruit into her mouth, and blood flowed out.

"No!" Noqigao slapped Aaron anxiously, but it couldn't cause any harm to him.

"Die!" A long's veins popped out on his forehead and he punched the girl's head.

"Whoosh-"

A flame ignited, burning the air around it.

………………

PS: After reading this, you should all know what kind of fruit this is. The original work does not indicate how Ace obtained the burning fruit.

According to the official novel, Ace obtained it when he met Deus on an isolated island.

This book is arranged to be left behind by Roger. Is it reasonable for a pirate king to leave a natural devil fruit?
