One Piece Flame Emperor Ace

Chapter 20 Corpse Trading
"Auston, don't worry, let's talk about other things first, as long as you join our Hanged Pirates, I can give you the position of deputy captain immediately."

Seeing that Auston didn't respond, Gruss didn't appear to be in a hurry, and soon a crazy smile appeared on his face: "As long as the devil fruit promised by the other party is obtained this time, the two of us can join hands, even if it is a new world, we can break through it." Make a name for yourself!"

When Auston heard this, there was a hint of emotion on his face. The reason why he cooperated with Gruss this time was for the devil fruit promised by the other party.

In the black market, a devil fruit is worth at least [-] million Baileys, and there is no market for it. This price is enough for him to sell.

"Corpse for devil fruit? There is no better deal." Gruss said with a cruel smile, "Five hundred ordinary corpses plus ten strong ones should be enough to exchange for two devil fruits."

When Auston heard this, he couldn't help looking through the window to the ship behind him.

On that ship, except for a few sailors who were manipulating the ship, the rest were piled full of corpses. The corpses included old people and children, and the despair and pain before death still remained on their faces. All stained brown.

All of this speaks of the brutality and bloodiness of the Hanged Pirates.

"Five days later, the people sent by the other party will arrive here." Gross's words brought Auston back to his consciousness, "I heard that it's a big pirate who came back from the New World, hehe, although I don't know why they want the corpse , but there are two devil fruits at hand, what a big deal!"

"Well, I hope there will be no troubles these days."

Auston nodded, stroked his machete, and muttered in a low voice. The recent massacre always gave him a bad feeling.

But when he thought of the devil fruit beckoning to him, Auston put the thought behind him.

Just killed a few people...

……

The great route, the devil's triangle area, a sea area shrouded in thick fog, there is an island floating quietly on the sea surface.

Upon closer inspection, the island turned out to be a huge three-masted sailing ship!

An island-sized sailboat!

In the center of the island, there stands a huge castle in dark tones.

"Hehehehe, Abu Salom, are you ready? Go get those lovely, fresh corpses?" In the center of the main hall in the castle, a huge three-meter-high monster shrouded in shadows, "After all , only the dead are the most reliable, hehehe~"

And in the hall opposite him, there was obviously no one in sight, but a male voice suddenly came out of nowhere: "Yes, my lord, the boat is ready."

"Go, I'll leave it to you! Come back early, I can't wait to see Hobak transform those corpses into powerful warriors!" The huge figure revealed his appearance, with fiery hair, Demonic appearance, mouth full of sharp teeth.

"As ordered!"

A figure was slowly released from the transparent state. It was a man with gorgeous clothes and a terrifying long hair. It was the man named Absalom. He bowed respectfully to the figure in front of him, and walked out backwards. hall.

The hall was also shrouded in shadows again.

……

"Hoo~breath~"

The thick cloth strips covered Ace's eyes, making him unable to perceive everything around him normally. He could only take deep breaths constantly to put himself in an ethereal state.

The surrounding time seems to have slowed down, and the space seems to have frozen.

Ace's mind was blank at first, but now a blurry streak suddenly appeared, striking his head from the left side.

"Flick to the right!"

With a movement of Ace's figure, he took a step sideways to the right, avoiding the blurred trace.

There was a gleam of joy in my heart, and suddenly there was a bang, and my head hurt.

"Ouch~"

Ace took the cloth strip away, rubbed his head, and the opposite was Shatton holding a wooden knife.

"I've told you, don't get emotional ups and downs, try to stay calm, so that you can feel the changes around you!" Shatton waved the wooden knife and criticized.

"Yes, instructor, I won't do it next time!" Ace took a deep breath and replied respectfully.

He just escaped the first stab, which means that Ace finally touched the edge of a little 'knowledge' domineering, but because he was too happy, he broke the ethereal state, and immediately suffered the second stab from Shatton .

Although his head hurts a bit, Ace is very satisfied, because after touching the threshold, as long as he continues to exercise for a period of time, he will soon be able to master the domineering 'color of knowledge'.

"Okay, that's it for today. You go and call the students to the deck, and you will probably arrive at your destination this afternoon!" Shatton threw the wooden knife casually, and inserted it into the weapon rack beside him.

"Okay, then I'll go first." Ace responded, then turned and walked towards the cabin.

When Ace walked away, Shatton couldn't help showing a look of shock on his face.

In just four days, Ace actually touched the threshold of "knowledge color" domineering, that is to say, in about one month, he can initially grasp the "knowledge color" domineering!
It took me a full three months to just touch the threshold!

"Maybe this is a genius." Sarton laughed at himself, but he didn't praise Ace, but pointed out Ace's shortcomings, just because he was afraid of Ace's pride. After all, no matter how good the rough jade is, it must be carefully crafted.

"Only Teacher Zefa is qualified to teach him." Shatton has already made up his mind. After this mission, he must recommend Ace to the second stage of the base.

……

Ace didn't know what Shatton was thinking at this time. On the way to inform his classmates, he was carefully sorting out the gains of the past few days.

Seven days is not a long time, and Ace's swordsmanship in the navy can only be regarded as an introduction, but he has focused on practicing chopping, and anyone who wants to take it hard will regret it.

More importantly, during the practice of swordsmanship, Ace thought of some ways to use fire.

For Ace, the battle some time ago could only be regarded as a rivalry at best, and could not kill anyone, so he never used Zihuo.

And the next battles are all life-threatening battles, and if you are not careful, you will lose your life, so Ace feels that he needs to have some ability to save his life.

And some of the moves of burning fruits in the previous life can be used directly after some changes, so Ace has selected two moves that can be used currently.

[Shenhuo Shiranui]: Condensate the purple flame into two flame spears, throw them at the enemy, penetrate the opponent's body, and the high temperature of the flame will destroy the internal organs of the opponent's body.

[Stacking Flame Slash]: Ace's swordsmanship has just started, and he can't use sword energy, but he has a flash of inspiration, superimposing flames on the sword, can't it imitate sword energy!
Ace has been on the warship for the past few days, so he didn't have the goal to try out the power of these two moves, but he tried it in the dormitory according to his own ideas.

Feeling the blazing flames on the broadsword already distorted the air slightly.

Ace can be sure that he has this hole card, which is enough to compete with ordinary major generals.

In terms of domineering, he has already touched the threshold of "knowledge" and determined the direction of his efforts. Even if there is no special opportunity, only one month is enough for Ace to get started.

As for the high-level use of "knowledge color", listening to the voices of all things, and even foreseeing a glimmer of the future, those are not what Ace can consider now.

Finally, with a thought, Ace called up his own attribute panel.

Attributes:
Physical fitness (school): 7
Spiritual Fire Essence Body Art: The First Level

Refining energy: 64/60
Seeing that the refining energy was full again, Ace chose to strengthen without hesitation.

A warm current swept over every corner of Ace's body, and his attributes changed again.

Attributes:
Physical fitness (school): 8
Spiritual Fire Essence Body Art: The First Level

Refining energy: 4/70
The seven-day exercise, which was more efficient under the guidance of Shatton, made Ace's physique improve again by a small stage, and he was getting closer and closer to the peak of the school level.

"It seems that I will soon be able to reach the physical strength of a major general!"

Thinking of this, Ace couldn't help but get excited, and his footsteps became more brisk, trotting towards the accommodation area of ​​the warship.

"Drake, Ian, and everyone, the deck is assembled!"
