The gourmet among pirates

Take a few steps back.

After losing all his energy, Ace raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"I can't tell. I didn't expect you to be quite strong with such a lean body. But you can't stop me with this!"

"Ittōryu Fierce Tiger!"

Roar!

As Ace swept across with his sword, a flame several meters wide formed a flame curtain, which suddenly bombarded directly forward. At the same time, this flame curtain was also mixed with a blazing red sword energy.

The blazing flames seemed to form a roaring tiger looking up to the sky. The roaring tiger swept through the mountains and forests in an instant under the horrified gaze of the white-robed men.

boom!boom!boom!

Looking at the flaming tiger in mid-air, and the scorching heat that swept over and faintly burned the air, a trace of solemnity flashed in the eyes of the blond young man.

Is this the natural ability to burn fruits?

It’s really an exaggeration!

But facing the flaming tiger roaring proudly in the mountains and forests, the blond young man's face did not reveal the slightest trace of panic or fear.

He grabbed the knight's spear beside him, weighed it with his five fingers, and made a projection motion with the spear.

call out!

The next moment, the blond young man's pupils shrank suddenly and he threw his arms out.

And the heavy knight's spear suddenly turned into a silvery white light, blasting the air and shooting out fiercely.

The blasted air, or a shock wave, exploded above everyone's heads, knocking countless people back, and some collapsed after being directly impacted.

boom! ! !

In mid-air, the knight's spear instantly penetrated the shape of the roaring tiger in the forest.

When the sound!

It hit the core sword energy that Ace slashed out.

next moment!

The blazing red sword energy was blasted by the sonic boom from the rod, and the knight's spear carrying terrifying power was smashed into pieces.

But at the same time, the knight's spear made of unknown materials, after experiencing the high temperature of the flames and the brilliance of the sword energy, also turned into twisted pieces under the final collision. Shoot out.

Although the flames blasted by Ace were exploded by the knight's spear, the hot air waves swept past, but still carried a lot of damage.

Even the golden hair of the blond young man was a little bent and deformed in an instant.

There was even a faint smell of burning protein in the air.

After glancing at his hair, which had become dry and brown in an instant after the heat wave swept over him, the blond young man couldn't help but look ugly.

Don't look at him, but he destroyed Ace's attack with one shot.

But in that confrontation.

There is no doubt that he is the one who is at a disadvantage.

For Ace, it was nothing more than an incomplete slash, but for the blond young man, not only did he lose a knight's spear, but even the only bright hair on his body was destroyed by Ace's flames. Burned.

"You guys are too presumptuous! This is our territory!"

The next moment, the blond young man suddenly pulled out two exquisite and short daggers from his waist, holding one in each hand, and then rushed towards Ace.

call out!

The blond young man holding a dagger burst out at a staggeringly terrifying speed at this moment.

Obviously one moment he was still dozens of meters away from Ace, but the next moment, two exquisite daggers stabbed Ace's back silently.

laugh! !

Facing the blond young man who suddenly appeared behind him, Ace swung his sword with his backhand, and another sword energy burst out with flames. However, the figure of the blond young man turned around in mid-air extremely flexibly, and avoided it again. Then another attack took place.

"An agile opponent?"

Ace's eyes narrowed slightly after seeing the terrifying speed that the blond young man exploded at this moment.

Before coming, Ace had not carefully understood what kind of people these so-called Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse were and what methods they were good at.

After all... He has never been the kind of person who likes to calculate everything and bring everything under his control.

And, let's be honest.

Although Robin's side provided Ace with the information provided by Grand Duke Moscow.

But who knows whether the information provided by Grand Duke Moscow is accurate.

In Ace's impression, few of these so-called royal nobles were reliable.

If they really believed in what they provided, judged the enemy based on the information they provided, and went to fight, it would probably not take long for them to fall into a big trap.

The two daggers of the blond young man suddenly drew two sharp lines in the air, and the point of impact was Ace's heart. However, the blow was stopped by Ace's sword midway.

Ding! !

Although the two daggers of the blond young man were extraordinary, they were obviously not comparable to the famous sword "Deadwood" in Ace's hand.

But at this moment, coupled with the blond young man's huge strength that was completely out of proportion to his body shape, Ace was at a slight disadvantage in this fight.

boom!

Just when the blond young man wanted to take advantage of the victory, a pillar of scorching fire instantly rose from Ace's body and directly blasted the blond young man away.

After blasting away the opponent.

Ace looked at the blond young man who was blown away with a confused expression, a trace of confusion flashing across his face.

At the moment when they just fought.

Ace clearly felt that the strength in his hand seemed to have weakened a bit the moment he fought with the blond young man.

No······

Not weakening!

Instead, it was swallowed by the other party!

Damn it, what the hell is going on!

After being blasted away by the violently rising pillar of fire.

The blond young man looked at the clothes on his body that had been burned through several holes by the hot sparks, and sighed slightly.

This set of clothes is his only intact white robe.

If this suit becomes torn again, he won't even have a perfect set of clothes.

Now, he, the Knight of the Apocalypse, is really going to be worthy of the name "Famine".

Nonsense, I can’t even afford clothes. Isn’t this exactly what it means to be famine-stricken?

Looking up slightly, the blond young man's eyes just met Ace's eyes.

See the confusion and fear in Ace's eyes.

The blond young man, the Famine Knight among the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, sighed in his heart again.

【What a keen guy! Did you notice the abnormality so quickly? 】

As the Famine Knight among the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

Of course, the blond young man possesses more than just strength and speed far beyond ordinary people.

His core power is the power named "Famine"!

Every time, as long as he uses the power named "Famine".

With him as the center of the circle, an invisible "famine" field will be formed within a radius of 100 meters. For any living being, in this "famine" field, the speed of hunger will be accelerated countless times. The longer it stays in this "famine" field, , the faster you become hungry, and even your body will quickly become weak.

Every second he stayed, except for the blond young man and some people he specially protected.

Those who are hostile to him will soon be filled with hunger and become weak.

Because in this "famine" realm, even the fat in their bodies will be burned silently.

Often it doesn't take long.

Those who oppose the blond young man in the "famine" field will become skinny and starving ghosts.

This······

This is the origin of the "Famine" knight's reputation.

Even more terrifying.

Every opponent who fights against him will be silently swallowed up by his "famine" field during the constant collision with him.

While weakening the opponent, the power weakened by the "famine" field is also silently turning into resources, prompting the blond youth to grow rapidly.

only.

In the past, those opponents who opposed the "Famine" Knight often reacted only after fighting him for a long time.

But by then, it was already too late.

But like Ace, who quickly realized something was wrong as soon as Pu fought, the "Famine" knight was the first to encounter him.

This alone is enough to illustrate Ace's keen perception.

You must know that the "famine" field of the "famine" knight will not only weaken the opponent's mental thinking, but also weaken the opponent's mental thinking. Otherwise, there will not be so many people who will be tricked when fighting against him.

"But, so what if you find out? Can you dodge my attack?"

After showing an ugly smile to Ace, the blond young man suddenly stopped at his feet, and suddenly showed his speed twice as fast as before, and flashed behind Ace.

The dagger stabbed directly into Ace's back.

The extreme speed even brought out phantoms in the air, which remained in the retinas of those watching the battle.

What a great speed!

With his back to the blond young man, Ace's ground suddenly collapsed, and his body suddenly turned into an afterimage, instantly avoiding the blond young man's attack.

"shave!"

These two years have not been in vain for Ace.

As his swordsmanship became more and more refined and he became more proficient in using the natural-type Burning Fruit ability, Ace also mastered the Sixth Form of the Navy, which greatly improved his physical strength.

what!

Seeing Ace disappear in front of him instantly, causing the dagger to miss, a look of shock flashed across the Famine Knight's face.

Obviously he didn't expect that while possessing such powerful swordsmanship and devil fruit abilities.

At such a young age, Ace can actually still possess such speed.

Under a sudden outbreak.

Ace who used "Shaving" was even faster than when he used his full strength.

Shocked in his heart, the blond young man's eyes truly showed seriousness.

Originally, he wanted to use his speed to entangle Ace, and then rely on the power of the "Famine" field to weaken Ace step by step until he truly killed Ace.

But who would have thought that Ace could burst out even faster than him in vain.

It's really troublesome now.

I hope this guy doesn’t discover the boundaries of the “famine” field!

Otherwise, with his natural-type Burning Fruit and his swordsmanship that is enough to deliver flying slashes, the Famine Knight really has no confidence that he can deal with Ace.

After using "Shaving" to instantly jump dozens of meters and avoid the attack of the Hungry Knight, Ace felt a little more relaxed.

Although I don't know what kind of weird ability the guy in front of me uses to swallow my own power, it seems that as long as I don't come into direct contact with this guy, the weird swallowing power will not be strong.

If that's the case, it's not like there's no chance.

That guy is fast, but he's not slow either!

As long as he no longer had direct contact with the opponent and no longer had his "strength" devoured by the opponent, Ace would be confident to defeat the "Famine" knight in front of him.

Thinking of this, Ace said to the blond young man: "Will you swallow my power silently? Famine Knight, you really have a weird ability! But as long as you are dealt with, your ability will be useless no matter how weird it is. !”

After Ace finished speaking, an afterimage passed by and disappeared in place with a "swish". But where he was originally, the blond young man was holding a dagger in both hands, slashing through the air.

Zheng! ! !

The next moment, a raging flame, wrapped in a sharp edge, slashed down at the blond young man in mid-air, as if it was going to split the blond young man in half.

"not good!"

Under the biting edge, the blond young man was horrified. Fortunately, he was a speed expert after all. Even though Ace's slash was as fast as thunder, he could barely react. While dodging, he held daggers in both hands and successfully struck. In an "X" shape, he parried in front of himself, in front of the sword energy that Ace slashed.

Ding! !

After the silver-white sword energy landed on the dagger of the blond young man, it made a crisp sound of gold and iron, as if two metal weapons were violently colliding.

But this time, it was not Ace who was blasted away, but the blond young man.

The blow hit the air, and the blond young man, whose old strength was exhausted and new strength was not regenerated, was unable to resist Ace's lightning strike in mid-air.

The tiger's mouth was numb from the shock, and he flew out.

After knocking the blond young man away, Ace did not stop. Instead, he took advantage of the victory and launched another offensive.

All of a sudden, scorching flames, unexpected Lan Kou, and silver-white sword energy slashes... all kinds of means that far exceeded attacks were used continuously and alternately.

In a few breaths, the foothills at the foot of Moonlight Monastery were destroyed to pieces.

The Hungry Knight, on the other hand, was retreating steadily under Ace's constant attacks, and could only hide here and there in embarrassment. This Apocalypse Knight, who had made a name for himself in several nearby sea areas and caused headaches for even the Grand Duke of the country, Already being suppressed by Ace.

···········

"Is this the famous 'Fire Sword' Ace in the East China Sea? He is really a terrifying guy! Not only does he have terrifying Devil Fruit abilities, but his strength and speed are all so tricky. Sure enough, each of these famous guys... Easy to deal with!”

Halfway up the mountain, Samda, who had a scar on his face, looked at the Famine Knight who was completely at a disadvantage after just a few confrontations with Ace, and his face couldn't help but twitch in an ugly way.
