One Piece: The Straw Hat Pirates' Max-Level Swordsman

His posture was as straight as a pine tree, yet there was a hint of hesitation that was barely perceptible.

Ace's hands hung slightly at his sides, his fingers moving slightly unconsciously, revealing his inner uneasiness.

Kaido and Buggy stared at him closely, their eyes were like two blazing flames, as if they could see through Ace.

Kaido's huge body exuded a majestic aura, and his eyes were full of eagerness and expectation, as if urging Ace to give an answer as soon as possible.

Buggy bit his lip nervously, his eyes revealing his concern for Yamato and worry about Ace's answer.

The air seemed to freeze at this moment, and time seemed to stop flowing. Everything around them became silent, with only the breathing of the three of them echoing softly in the air.

When Ace heard Kaido's words, he did not answer immediately, but lowered his head slightly and fell into deep thought.

His short black hair fluttered gently in the breeze, covering his eyes, making it impossible to see his expression at the moment.

Ace's brows were furrowed, like two deep ravines, revealing his inner struggle.

The little moments of his time with Yamato kept emerging in his mind, and those scenes flashed before his eyes like a movie.

Those images flashed through his mind like a movie, every frame was so clear that he seemed within reach.

There is laughter, that is their joy after victory, the sun shines on their faces, and their smiles are as bright as blooming flowers.

Their laughter echoed in the air, full of energy and hope.

There were quarrels and heated debates over different viewpoints, and even when their faces were red, they could feel each other's sincerity and persistence.

There is also the care for each other, the helping hand extended in times of trouble, a warm look, and a word of encouragement, all of which are like a fire in winter, warming each other's hearts.

Kaido and Buggy anxiously waited for Ace's answer, their expressions becoming more and more tense.

Kaido's huge body trembled slightly, like a volcano about to erupt.

His brows were furrowed and his eyes were burning with anxiety.

The strong muscles bulged slightly under his clothes, rising and falling with his emotions.

His breathing also became rapid, and every breath seemed to carry a powerful force, as if he could erupt with astonishing anger at any time.

Kaido stared at Ace closely, as if trying to find a clue to the answer from his expression.

Bucky paced around, his hands clenched into fists.

His steps were hurried and flustered, as if venting his inner anxiety.

His eyes were full of anxiety, and he looked at Ace and Kaido from time to time, as if seeking some kind of support.

Bucky kept mumbling something. Although I couldn’t hear the specific content, I could feel his nervousness and worry.

He leaned forward slightly, as if ready to rush forward and urge Ace to give an answer.

The whole scene was filled with a tense atmosphere, as if a storm was about to come.

After a long while, time seemed to become extremely long at this moment.

Ace seemed to slowly come out of a distant thought. He slowly raised his head, and the movement was like a slow motion.

There was a complex emotion in his eyes, including helplessness and guilt.

Ace looked at the anxious expressions of Kaido and Buggy. Their eyes were full of anticipation, as if they were waiting for a crucial answer.

Ace opened his mouth slightly, but paused, as if he was choosing his words.

Finally, he slowly said, "Before in Wano Country, I promised Yamato that I would leave Wano Country just with that excuse."

Ace's voice was not loud, like a feather falling gently, but it echoed in the air.

However, this sentence exploded in Kaido and Buggy's ears like a bombshell.

When Kaido and Buggy heard Ace's words, their bodies shook violently, as if they were struck by lightning.

An expression of shock instantly appeared on their faces, and that expression seemed to be frozen on their faces.

Immediately, veins bulged on their faces, and those protruding veins were like winding earthworms, showing the extreme anger in their hearts.

Kaido's eyes widened, and they were like copper bells, and seemed to be burning with rage.

His eyes were filled with anger and disappointment, as if they could burn everything to ashes.

Kaido's breathing became rapid and his chest heaved violently like a volcano about to erupt.

His hands were clenched into fists, his knuckles turning white from the intensity of the punch, as if he might throw an angry punch at any moment.

Kaido's huge body was like a moving mountain. At this moment, he took a step forward suddenly. The movement was full of power, as if it could tear the air apart.

As he took this step, the ground seemed to tremble slightly under his feet, making a dull sound, as if it was afraid of his anger.

The surrounding dust was shaken up and formed a hazy dust fog.

"What!" Kaido roared, the sound echoing in the air like thunder, making people's eardrums hurt.

The sound seemed to have real power, impacting everything around it.

The leaves rustled and the birds in the distance were startled and flew away.

Kaido's anger erupted uncontrollably like a raging tide.

There was a raging fire in his eyes, as if it could burn everything to ashes.

His fists were clenched tightly, his knuckles turned white from the force, and his fists seemed like a huge hammer that could hit the source of his anger at any time.

Bucky's face also turned red with anger, and his body trembled slightly, like a leaf swaying in the wind.

His eyes were wide and filled with anger.

His breathing became rapid and disordered, and his chest heaved violently.

Bucky clenched his hands into fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, but he didn't feel any pain.

His eyes were filled with disappointment and anger towards Ace, as if Ace's words had shattered some beautiful expectations in his heart.

“Ace, how could you do this!” Buggy shouted loudly, his voice sharp and piercing, like a sharp blade cutting through the air.

Bucky's face flushed red, his eyes gleaming with anger.

His body was shaking slightly with excitement, like a volcano about to erupt.

He waved his hands in the air, as if expressing his strong dissatisfaction.

"How could you treat Yamato like this! She was sincere to you, but you let her down like this!" Buggy's voice was full of disappointment and anger, and his accusations came at Ace like a storm.

They looked as if they would tear Ace to pieces immediately if he didn't give them a satisfactory answer.

Kaido's huge body exudes a strong sense of oppression, and his eyes are like burning flames, which seem to be able to devour Ace in an instant.

His fists were clenched tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, as if he could deliver a fatal blow at any moment.

Buggy gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with anger and determination, as if he was ready to fight Ace to the death.

The air around them seemed to be ignited by their anger, becoming hot and oppressive.

There was a tense atmosphere in the air, as if a storm was about to come.

However, when Ace saw the appearance of Kaido and Buggy, he did not show any fear.
