Pirates: Building a Pirate Family.

Ace stared quietly at the group of enemies in front of him, his eyes were cold and full of murderous intent.

Suddenly, the corners of his mouth slightly lifted up, revealing an extremely evil smile: "Haha, you guys, it seems that there is an ignorant fool who doesn't know the high ground and etiquette!"

Before he finished speaking, Ace stood up suddenly and raised his arms high.

"Musket!"

Following Ace's angry roar, countless bullets formed by blazing flames shot towards Van Oka like raindrops.

Faced with the overwhelming fire suppression, Van Oka did not dare to be negligent at all. He dodged left and right and fled desperately.

The chase continued all the way to the end of the street.

But at this moment, something unexpected happened!

I saw Badgers, like a ferocious beast, suddenly leaping from a house onto the roof.

He lifted the entire house high and smashed it towards Ace with all his strength.

Seeing this, Ace waved his arm calmly.

In an instant, balls of surging flames gathered around him to form a circular wall of fire.

"Fire Ring·Fire Pillar!"

As Ace shouted again, a huge pillar of fire that reached the sky and the earth rose up from his body.

The powerful impact instantly destroyed the house thrown by Badgers. For a moment, broken wood and tiles flew everywhere, hitting Teach and others on the side like a storm.

Teach dodged quickly.

At the same time, he looked back at Van Oka and Badgers.

"Don't act rashly! You are no match for that man, get out of the way!"

Teach's eyes widened and he roared at the top of his lungs.

His ferocious face looked even more terrifying in the light of the fire, like a wild beast about to devour someone.

Hearing Teach's roar, Badgers, who looked extremely embarrassed, lowered his head quickly, looked at Ace in horror, and said quickly: "I'm...I'm sorry!"

His body was trembling slightly, obviously shocked by Ace's method.

At this moment, a loud shout was heard.

"fire punch!"

In an instant, a surging, blazing flame rushed towards all members of the Blackbeard Pirates like a ferocious beast with bared fangs and claws.

The raging fire instantly engulfed everyone, and the entire scene was as bright as day.

"what--!"

As a shrill scream was heard, Blackbeard Teach was not spared.

His huge body was wrapped in flames and he rolled on the ground in pain.

The flames burned his skin mercilessly, causing him to howl in agony.

"captain!"

Seeing this, Badgers shouted anxiously.

Lafayette on the side rushed forward without hesitation, wanting to lend a helping hand.

However, at this time, Teach was completely engulfed in flames, and his entire body turned into a fire man.

"It's hot! It's hot! Help!"

Blackbeard continued to howl, his voice filled with endless pain.

The fire grew bigger and bigger, and it seemed that it would completely devour him.

The crew hurriedly scrambled to put out the fire on the captain.

At this moment, Ace stared coldly at the members of the Blackbeard Pirates.

He jumped lightly and flew down from the roof like an nimble falcon.

After landing, he walked towards Teach who was lying on the ground with steady steps and at a leisurely pace.

At the same time, the flames from the burning houses around him seemed to be attracted by some mysterious force. They continuously gathered around Ace and were all absorbed into his body.

In the blink of an eye, Ace stepped out of the raging sea of ​​fire.

He exuded a powerful aura that made people's heart flutter, like a fire god.

"Shut up, all of you, back off!"

Blackbeard sat up and spoke to the people around him.

Seeing sweat on Blackbeard's face and the pain on his body made Teach feel frightened.

Breathing in big gulps of air.

Then he raised his head and looked at Ace through gritted teeth.

"Thief hahahahahahaha!"

Blackbeard suddenly laughed, then slowly sat up.

Ace just watched quietly.

"I understand, Ace. You are here to kill me, right? Of course, killing a companion is a serious crime. It was indeed me who killed Captain Thatch of the Fourth Division, but there was nothing I could do about it. That guy got the devil fruit I had always dreamed of. The rule on the ship is that if you find it, you can eat it as you wish. I memorized the shapes of the fruits in the illustrated manual and recognized it at a glance as the devil fruit I had always dreamed of. Moreover, I stayed on Whitebeard's ship for decades because I thought that the chance of finding that fruit would be the highest if I stayed there. I once thought that I had bad luck, but that fruit was obtained by my best friend!"

Blackbeard knelt in front of Ace and said this.

"So he killed Thatch and took it away?"

Ace asked with a cold expression?

"Hahaha, it's just a spur of the moment thing!"

Blackbeard lowered his head slightly, and a ferocious smile appeared on his lips. His sparse black beard trembled slightly with his laughter, as if telling of his inner pride and arrogance.

Then he slowly stood up, like a volcano about to erupt, exuding a chilling aura.

"This incredibly powerful ability actually chose me, Ace!"

Blackbeard threw his head back and laughed wildly, his voice resounding through the sky.

“Hahahahahahahahaha… With it, I finally became the most invincible existence in this ocean! Even among the many natural fruits, it is a unique and unrivaled outlier!”

After saying that, he slowly raised his right palm. The movement seemed gentle, but it contained endless power.

In an instant, a black gas as thick as ink gushed out from Blackbeard's right palm, like a giant black dragon rushing straight into the sky.

The black gas spread rapidly, and in the blink of an eye the entire sky was dyed dark, as if doomsday had come.

Seeing this, Ace couldn't help but frown and stare closely at the frightening black air in front of him. The black air seemed to hide countless unknown terrifying forces, which made people feel cold.

"Ace, you should know that your body can control the power of fire, burning fiercely and blazingly hot. But mine is darkness!"

Blackbeard stared at Ace with an arrogant look on his face, with a crazy light flashing in his eyes.

"This darkness will devour all light, including you and your flame!"

Before he finished his words, more black air continuously gushed out of Blackbeard's body, rushing straight into the sky like a flood breaking through a dam, covering the sky and the sun.

far away.

The people in the town were shocked to see the black smoke rising straight up in the distance.
