One Piece: The Strongest Man on the Surface

Punk Hassad, affiliated to the World Government, was once the government's research base. A team of researchers headed by scientist Vega Punk conducted experiments on Devil Fruits here.

However, two years ago, due to the horrific experiment of scientist M. Caesar Courant, a large amount of poison gas was released on the island. Only a few prisoners survived on the entire island, but their lower bodies all turned into stone-like objects.

Caesar was kicked out of the institute team and the island became an uninhabited island.

Not long ago, a devastating battle broke out here between former Navy Admiral Aokiji and current Navy Marshal Akainu to compete for the position of Marshal.The two fought for ten days and ten nights. Due to the power of the fruit, the island became what Andrew saw in front of him.

Half of it is filled with flames and half is filled with ice and snow.

Completely two extremes.

"What a terrifying ability."

Andrew looked at the island in the distance and murmured.

Now he is basically certain that after the war, the strength of these two people has improved to a certain extent.

Or maybe, when he defeated them, he didn't use all his strength.

"Ok?"

As the distance got closer, Andrew realized something was wrong.

On the coast of Ice and Snow Island, a huge warship was docked, and a figure could be vaguely seen moving on it.

"Who's coming here?"

With doubts, Andrew quickly approached. Since he was acting alone this time, he left the Proverbs in Chambord and asked Reilly to take care of it.

Approaching the shore, the people on the warship seemed to have spotted him, and the searchlight turned instantly, but Andrew just flashed and disappeared into the air.

The observers on the warship were a little strange, but they didn't think much about it. They had no idea that Andrew had secretly hidden at the bottom of the warship.

Through observation, Andrew discovered that this group of people seemed to be from the navy, but they were not as formal as the navy. Listening to their conversation, they seemed to be some kind of G-5 unit.

Andrew did not continue to listen. The top priority was to find Ace and the others as soon as possible. If nothing else happened, the two of them should be on this island now.

As for the samurai...

Several figures appeared in Andrew's mind, and then he ducked away, walked around to the sea of ​​fire at a very fast speed, and landed on the island.

Shortly after he left, a slender man wearing sunglasses walked out of the cabin of the warship.

When the navy officers on the deck saw the man, they all put aside their work to say hello to the man, with a very respectful attitude.

After the man nodded in response, he came to the side of the boat and stared at somewhere on the hull below. After a long time, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Am I too sensitive..."

……

island center,

In a corner of the only well-preserved research institute, Ace was carefully looking around, making sure no one was passing by before slowly retracting his body.

Next to him was Jinbei, who had the same serious look on his face. Judging from the scars all over his body, it was not easy for them to live on this island.

As for Jinbei, he was holding the head of a samurai in his arms. What was strange was that the eyes of the head were still moving.

"The navy has surrounded us outside, and those people from the poison gas troops are also there. It might not be that easy to get out." Ace whispered. This was the first time he had faced the enemy since his battle with Blackbeard before the war. I feel deeply helpless when facing an enemy.

The guy named Caesar can actually extract oxygen from the air, so that his flames can't burn at all. Since there is no moisture on the island, Jinbei can't get close to that guy.

After the battle between the two parties, Ace took advantage of Caesar's carelessness and escaped with Jinbei, but looking at the situation now, they wouldn't be able to escape for long.

Looking at the head in Jinbei's arms, Ace whispered: "Kin'emon, are you okay?"

Kinemon was in tears at this moment. He gritted his teeth and choked out: "Sir Ace, there is no need to sacrifice yourself for me. If necessary, leave me and run for your life. If you die because of me, I will never forgive myself."

Ace shook his head with a smile on his face: "We are in the same class."

Kinemon shed tears again, "But, but Momonosuke-sama, he..."

Ace fell silent after hearing this. They could have left originally, but when they learned that their father's former best friend, Odenoko, had been kidnapped by Caesar for experimentation, he had no choice but to return. As a result, he was now in a dilemma.

"I don't know how that guy Andrew is doing. If he is here, there must be something he can do."

For no reason, Ace thought of Andrew, the man who could come and go with ease among the armies.

"Yes." Jinbei said with emotion.

"The Andrew you two are talking about is..." Kinemon in his arms was about to ask when there was sudden movement outside.

"Xie Ke Ke Ke, you guys, go over there and take a look. Those guys are good test subjects and must not be let go!"

"Yes! Lord Caesar!"

Several black shadows flashed outside, gradually disappearing as the ground shook.

After the sound faded away, Ace stood up.

"It's no longer safe here. We must move. Kin'emon, do you still remember where your body is?"

"I don't remember it, but I can feel it. There is a burning sensation on my skin."

hot?

The two looked at each other, a little helpless.

They are now trapped in the research institute, surrounded by icebergs and filled with research institute staff. It is almost impossible to reach the flame zone.

……

"Why are there so many weird things here?"

Andrew hid behind the iceberg, looking at the "people" passing by in front of him, full of doubts.

These people were so weird. Their upper bodies were human and their lower bodies were some strange animal bodies. They looked like half-orcs, but Andrew didn't feel the slightest breath of Devil Fruit on them.

"There are so many wonders in the world."

After complaining, he returned to the flame area. When he just passed by, he saw some ruins of buildings in the distance. Maybe there would be some clues there.

With the blessing of the Bingbing Fruit ability, Andrew quickly adapted to the high temperature here. What surprised him was that there were many traces of battles left in the ruins here, and there were also many huge claw marks, as if there were some terrifying creatures. It was wreaking havoc here.

After wandering around the ruins, Andrew didn't find anything of value. When he was about to leave, there was a sudden strange noise from the ruins behind him.

Andrew walked cautiously towards the direction of the sound.

suddenly!

With a loud roar, Andrew's eyes were dazzled, and the diamond fruit ability was activated almost instantly.

boom!

A flaming tail whipped him away, knocking down countless building debris along the way, and stopped in front of a stone pillar.

Andrew struggled to get up, and the diamond armor on his body faded away. He was not injured, but the creature in front of him really shocked him.

"This is the flame dragon?!"
