I am brushing up materials in One Piece

After giving the order, Smoker himself immediately turned into a ball of white smoke and flew out.

Different from the slow rising speed of real smoke, Smoker is more like a small smoking rocket that will catch up with the three of Kos in the blink of an eye.

"fire punch!"

Ace stopped immediately and turned around to punch Smoker, who was approaching quickly.

The bursting flames instantly swallowed Smoker, but when the flames dissipated, Smoker was unscathed and only retreated a little distance.

Then he turned into white smoke and rushed over again.

"fire punch!"

Ace repeated his old trick, thinking that even if he couldn't cause any damage, he could still knock Smoker back a certain distance.

It's just that Smoker took the initiative to spread out his body when the fire fist attacked, allowing the fire pillar to pass through his body, and he himself spiraled around the fire pillar like a snake and approached Ace, holding in his hand Then he raised his ten hands and stabbed at Ace.

"careful!"

Kos pulled off the blindfold and then drew his sword and slashed at Smoker's ten hands and reminded Ace,

"These ten hands have sea tower stones, which can ignore your elementalization."

"when--"

The collision between Shang Fang and Smoker's Ten Hands slightly deflected the Ten Hands' attack, and Ace also used this to move aside to avoid the attack.

After seeing that the three Kos stopped running away, Smoker did not continue the pursuit. Instead, he took a few steps back and stood with the pursuing navy.

Smoker didn't pay much attention to Ace, but focused more on Kos, a cunning bastard who he regarded as a habitual liar.

"Where did you know that?"

Smoker's face was particularly gloomy.

The sea tower stone inlaid at the tip of the ten hands is not obvious, and Smog has not used the sea tower stone to deal with ability users in Rogge Town, so in his opinion, it is definitely not easy for Kos to know this secret.

"Because you yourself are a user with natural abilities, so it is naturally impossible for you to carry out meaningless attacks, so I judge that there must be something wrong with the ten hands."

Of course, Cos couldn't say that he had read the script, so he used this statement that sounded reasonable.

"Is that so?"

Smoker nodded. He could accept Kos's statement. Based on his understanding of Kos, it was not impossible.

"You are really a 'smart' guy."

Smoker deliberately emphasized the word "smart", which was obviously not a compliment to Kos.

"Thank you for the compliment!"

Kos responded to Smoker's taunt with a smile, and then said with a playful smile,

"So can you please let us go for the sake of our past friendship?"

"What the hell kind of friendship!"

Smoker scolded Kos with a straight face,

"You're just using us to help you get out of trouble, and don't forget that I said that if you become a pirate, I will never let you go!"

"Speaking of..."

Smoker looked at Bartolomeo who was standing aside and didn't understand what was going on.

"Since when did this guy become so close to you?"

"Who has a good relationship with him?"

Cos didn't want to give him a good look for Bartolomeo who exposed himself.

"The relationship is not good, so I have to apologize. My mother-in-law said that only after a good apology can we become friends."

Bartolomeo bowed to Cos in a standard manner,

"I'm really sorry for dirtying your room and chasing you around."

This made Cos uncontrollable, so he felt a little embarrassed and pushed Bartolomeo into the toilet and drowned - just throw it into the urinal.

"Then, my mother-in-law also said that apologies cannot be just words, they must be proven with concrete actions."

Bartolomeo stood up straight and looked at Smoker and the others, placing the fingers of his hands on his chest in a strange posture.

"Strike the barrier!"

As the transparent barrier rushed towards Smoker and the others, Bartolomeo shouted to the three of Kos:

"Run!"

"I accept your apology."

Kos smiled at Bartolomeo and left with Ace and Deus who wanted to continue fighting.

Smoker and the others were caught off guard and were knocked to pieces by Bartolomeo's barrier.

"asshole!"

The elemental Smoker flew upwards and glared at Bartolomeo, who was grinning with fangs.

No matter what, he flew over and knocked Bartolomeo unconscious with his ten hands, and then kicked Bartolomeo a few more times out of anger before running in the direction where Kos and others left.

After seeing that the three people could no longer be seen, Smoker couldn't help but speed up, but when he used the smoke to move at high speed, a scorching pillar of fire shot out from the side.

"fire punch!"

Although the flames still did not cause harm to Smoker, who turned into smoke, the impact still knocked him against the wall of the building on the side of the street.

Then a figure rushed out from the alley where the pillar of fire shot out, holding a knife and slashing at Smoker's right hand.

Kos cut off Smoker's arm with an Army-Breaking Dragon Strike, leaving a long and deep knife mark on the wall behind.

If someone else did this, Smoker would definitely think that the other person was stupid for actually trying to hurt his elementalized self with a slash without armed Haki, but Smoker didn't think that a cunning bastard like Kos would do anything in vain.

And as he expected, Kos then slashed at the broken palm, cut the palm holding Jushou in half and kicked Jushou.

Smoker immediately realized that Kos wanted to take away the Ten Hands embedded with the Sea Tower Stone to use against him.

"White Fist"

Smoker's left hand flew towards Kosi and hit the left side of Kosi's face, but Kosi did not stop and waved Shang Fang in an attempt to fly away the ten hands in Smoker's hand.

But neither the kick nor Shang Fang's pick took Ten Hands away from Smoker.

Smoker's right hand, which had been chopped into several pieces, quickly recovered and struck at Kos with ten hands waving.

"when--"

Kos barely blocked Smoker's attack, but he took several steps back. At the same time, his hands were numb and there was burning pain on his face.

Before, he only intercepted from the side, but this time he received Smoker's attack directly from the front. This made Kos understand that his muscles were not in vain, and the level gap of more than 20 levels between him and himself was also small. Not a simple number.

"The teacher often says that I rely too much on my own fruit abilities, but there is no way. I don't have the same talent as the other monsters, so I can only rely on this thing to make up for my shortcomings."

Smoker looked at the ten hands in his hand and then at Kos, who was standing still in a panic.

"So it's not that easy for you to take this from me."

"Tsk, miscalculation!"

Kos originally wanted to use a surprise attack to take away the Ten Hands from Smoker, so that he could win. Otherwise, even if Ace would not lose to Smoker, he would probably not be able to win.

However, he did not regret giving up the opportunity to escape and conduct a useless ambush, because after seeing Smoker's pursuit speed, he realized that escape was definitely not an optional way to escape.

Even if they take the opportunity to return to the Gray Pearl, they will definitely be caught up by Smoker before leaving the port, and once the ship is destroyed, they will become turtles in the urn.

In other words, escaping is not only shameful, but also useless. The only way in front of Kos and the others is to defeat Smoker.
