The bloody hand Mary of the pirate

"Faster, faster!"

Im kicked Mary on the cheek, instantly stopping Mary from flying at high speed, and then with a sudden force, Mary was completely thrown away.

"Aren't you famous for your speed? Kid, your current speed is still far behind!"

Im scolded coldly.

Mary stabilized her body and held the sword in her hand.

"My face is the body of death, and my blood is the sea of ​​death..."

"Don't even think about it!"

As soon as the words were spoken, Im's body instantly became blurry.苼

The concept of eternity is far more stable than justice, and it is no less famous in terms of popularity. As an eternal elf, the limit of Im's body size after becoming virtual is also quite astonishing.

Crossing hundreds of meters, Mary was knocked away with one punch.

"This ability to infiltrate the world appeared during the war. So, is it an ability related to the soul?"

Im recalled the inherent barrier that instantly collapsed after being hit by his own punch, and roughly figured out a little bit about it.

Mary covered her dizzy head and let out a long breath.

"Too much trouble……"

Im's abilities are very simple, physical skills, explosive rock fruit, and the ability to destroy the soul after becoming an elf.苼

In addition to the fact that it is unclear what the power of the eternal elf is, Mary has been aware of Im's ability almost from the beginning.

There is also information support from Vegapunk.

but……

It's one thing to know, but another thing to be able to win.

Although the categories of abilities are very simple and crude, Im's own hard power is too high.

Mary looked at Im with slightly condensed eyes.

If it weren't for this curse, Mary would be able to fight Im, and she wouldn't be beaten all the time like she is now...

The speed cannot exceed Im's limit of sight, hearing and color, and the strength is far inferior.

Three-Color Haki's development capabilities in every direction are inferior to Im's.

The transformation speed of Elf is not as fast as that of Im, and her concept of justice is far inferior to Im's eternity.

Fruit ability... Most of the Fruit of Life has been destroyed. Although the Fruit of Desire is useful, the conditions have not been met.

For other abilities, almost all of them were roughly crushed when faced with Im's Explosive Rock Fruit...

The situation Mary is in now is simply like Kaido who faced Mary before.

"Go on."

After Im said that, he opened his arms.

Behind him, countless dynamite rock fruits gathered into long swords, floating behind him like a sword disk.

Mary didn't even need to guess to know what kind of fierce attack she would encounter next.

"Although your strength is far from what I think it is, there is one thing I admit..."

Im said calmly: "You are very durable."

"...I really don't know whether I should laugh or cry." Mary smiled bitterly.

"Buzz buzz..."

The dynamite rock swords were all aimed at Mary and began to vibrate.

The buzzing sound in the air became louder and louder, and the sword was about to be shot.

Mary tensed her body. Whether she was attacking hard or dodging, the pressure from Im's attack was too great.

next moment--

"Xuanbihuo!"

It was neither Mary's nor Im's voice.

A strange yet somewhat familiar voice came, and before the two of them could react, the explosive rocks around Im suddenly ignited with blazing white fire.苼

"—!"

Explosive rock is an extremely sensitive explosive material.

"boom!!!"

In an instant, all the dynamite rocks surrounding Yi Mu exploded at once, and Yi Mu, who was unable to respond in time, was instantly submerged in the sea of ​​fire.

Mary immediately looked towards the direction of the sea where the distant sound came from.

A small raft made of small wooden planks floats on the rough sea, as if it will be overturned by the huge waves at any time.

A man's body was burning with white flames, standing proudly in the storm, still pumping his fist.苼

He wore a cowboy hat and a necklace of prayer beads around his neck.

There is also a tattoo of ACE on one arm.

Mary's eyes suddenly opened wide.

"—Portcas D. Ace!?"

"it's me!"

Ace stopped pumping his fists and raised his arms high towards Mary.

"Hey - long time no see Mary Vinicius. You're all right. It seems like you had a hard time fighting."

"You guy..."

Mary covered her head in confusion: "How did you find here... eh? No, shouldn't you be in Mariegioa now?"

"Shanks and the others went to Marigioa. It doesn't matter if I'm missing there. But I thought you might need my help here, so I came over."

After Ace said this, he crossed his nose with his finger.

"As for how I found this place, do you believe it when I say someone has been talking in my ear?"

"...Listen to the sounds of all things?"

Mary was a little confused, listening to the sounds of all things... Does Ace have this ability in the original work?苼

and many more.

After investigating, Mary suddenly found that Ace's body seemed a little... special?

The flesh and blood body is yes, but... something seems to be missing.

"Let's put this aside for now...Mary, how are you, do you need my help?"

Ace raised the brim of his hat and grinned.

"..."

Before Mary could speak, a sea of ​​fire exploded in the distance.苼

Im's body almost turned into a meteor and fell down, and he appeared in front of Ace in the blink of an eye.

A punch pierced Ace's body, and flames burst out.

"Beware!"

Seeing this, Mary roared without thinking, and then the sea of ​​​​blood condensed into a huge blood knife hundreds of meters long and slashed horizontally along the sea surface.

"do not worry--"

Ace grabbed Im's hand and said he was fine.

Im looked at Ace's elemental body and his face turned slightly cold.苼

The armed domineering force crawled onto his hand, and he roared in a low voice:

"Just relying on elementalization...isn't it a bit too contemptuous?"

After saying that, Im's hand knife sliced ​​Ace's body like thunder.

What happened next made both Im and Mary look in surprise.

Ace's cut body did not have blood and flesh splattering, but flames spurting out.

His manic smile was not affected at all. As soon as Im took out the knife, his body began to heal.

"Is this also elementalization? No, no, elementalization cannot be immune to domineering energy."

Im muttered.

Mary, who was coming from a distance, recalled what Ace had just said about his ability to listen to the sounds of all things, and an incredible idea suddenly flashed through her mind.

"...This guy won't turn into an elf, right?"

But even if Ace is an elf, he is not immune to domineering power. He is obviously made of flesh and blood. To be immune to domineering power, an elf must become insubstantial.

Another question is, why is Ace an elf?

"It seems like I don't have a choice now."

While both of them started brainstorming in their minds, Ace did not stop his actions.苼

His hand turned into white flames and he punched Im.

"fire punch--"

"boom!"

Im's body was instantly submerged in the flames, and the next moment, the overlord's domineering energy exploded, crushing Ace's boat.

The EX-level Overlord Haki can completely push this small boat into the sea, and Devil Fruit users will lose the ability to resist once they enter the sea water.

Of course, the current Ace will not lose his abilities due to sea water.However, over the years, the instinctive rejection of sea water cannot be changed in a short time.

Therefore...

"Xuanbihuo!"

This trick again!

Mary watched Ace's next move attentively.

It was the same move just now. After the sound fell, the explosive rock next to Im suddenly burned without warning.

Mary had not seen any signs of flames burning before this, which puzzled Mary.

"Stab-hoo!"

With the flash of fire in the sky, the overlord-colored domineering energy that was originally spreading towards Ace instantly froze.苼

Then, a blazing white fire burst out, illuminating half of the sky.

"!"

Both Mary and Im showed shocked expressions. Im immediately took back his domineering aura without even thinking about it, while Mary immediately analyzed the ability that Ace showed just now.

Light it up in the air?combustion?flame?

The key is...can you burn something as ethereal as the Overlord's Haki?Rather, it’s a bit surprising that Haki can actually burn, right?

Mary suddenly understood why Im couldn't hit Ace's body just now.

Was Armed Haki burned away before meeting Ace...?

Thinking of this, Mary's eyes lit up.

Seeing that Im's attention was entirely focused on Ace, Mary immediately grabbed the fighter plane, and her blood condensed into a giant blade and struck Im's body fiercely.

"!"

Im protected her body with armor, and was beaten out by Mary like a bowling ball.

As Im was knocked away, Ace waved his hands and jumped into the air.

Even before the fruit was developed into an elf, Ace had already developed the ability to use flames to fly.Speaking of which, most elemental fruit ability users have the ability to fly for a short period of time.

"It's been a long time, Ace." Mary looked at Ace who was approaching and clapped softly, "The last time we met was during the war on the top, right? Compared to that time, you...seem to be a lot stronger Ah."

"Of course, I am the one who wants to seek revenge from you. You have progressed too fast. If you don't work harder, you will never see hope in this life."

Ace first suppressed his smile and said to Mary seriously.

Then he sighed and relaxed.

"But before settling our grudges... let's get rid of this guy first."

Ace turned to look at Im in the distance and bumped his fists.

"Speaking of which, Shanks and the others should have arrived at Mariejoia by now, right? Ha, maybe they have already won the battle."

"So, we can't do any errands here."

"I advise you to restrain yourself a little bit..."

Mary looked at the inexplicably confident big boy in front of her with some speechlessness.

Im has not used her full strength until now, and Mary can detect this.There was nothing wrong with Mary's previous thoughts. Lovedru was indeed a battlefield that benefited one's side.

Im seems to have been suppressing his own power to avoid affecting Rafdru.

And Mary also knew that Im was most likely going for the Lunaria Stone.

But suppressing one's own strength does not mean that the opponent is really that weak. If the opponent is forced into a hurry, no one will have an easy time.

So...

"Ace, can you burn the toxin?"

Mary suddenly asked.

"Huh? Toxin?" Ace was stunned for a moment, "Can't you burn this thing? Your fire is hotter than mine. Killing the poison doesn't take a minute?"

"No, it's not... I don't care about that kind of poison at all."

Mary shook her head and then explained: "Let me give you an example..."

She raised the dusk in her hand.

"Can you burn away the poison in this knife?"

"..."

Looking at the familiar black knife, Ace was silent for a moment.

Then, he nodded.

The poison on this knife has always been one of the shadows in Ace's heart.

Ace could only watch Whitebeard fall with this kind of poison that even Marco couldn't eliminate.

Now he has the ability to burn abstract objects.This poison is almost like a curse...

"You can give it a try!"

After hearing Ace's affirmative answer, Mary narrowed her eyes.

She opened her arms and faced Ace.

"Then if you can, burn the curse out of my body."

"—"

Ace frowned: "Are you serious? I have never tried to burn such a thing before."

"And...you believe me?"

Mary met Ace's doubtful gaze and grinned.苼

"I hate pirates. But I still trust idiots like you."

"..."

Ace crossed his arms, shook his head, and then couldn't help laughing.

“Can’t you guys say something nice?”

"sieve!"

A crimson spear cut through the sea of ​​blood and stabbed the two of them.Ace and Mary started at the same time, and a blood gun and a musket hit the spear of Explosive Rock one after another.

The shock wave of the explosion knocked the two men upside down.苼

"It seems like it's still a bit troublesome..."

Ace looked at Im who was quick to finish and said: "Before that, we have to get rid of this guy first..."

"Snapped!"

"Eh?"

Mary's hand patted Ace's shoulder.

"My body rotates like day and night..."

A series of spells were spoken quickly. This series of spells was much shorter than the set of spells used by Demon King Buwu.苼

Moreover, the spell used was completely different from the previous one, and Im didn't realize anything, so he didn't stop it immediately.

The next moment, a white light flashed, and the bodies of Ace and Mary disappeared into the air at the same time.

Im's body suddenly stopped in the middle of his rush.

"……Disappeared?"

On the distant Rafdru Tower, An and Lilia stood on the high platform with some uneasiness, looking anxiously at the flickering battle on the sea in the distance.

It was difficult for them to help in a battle of this level, and Mary had no intention of letting them participate in this battle, which kept the battlefield far away from the beginning.

Just as the two of them were nervously watching the battle in the distance, there was a sudden roar behind them as a giant object fell to the ground.苼

Both of them looked back in shock, only to see a metal dome emitting heat hitting the steel frame of the high tower above their platform.

The next moment, a foot violently kicked the shell of the dome, and a limp figure crawled out of the dome, sticking out its tongue half-deadly.

"Ah... we're finally here."

"Lan Hai, I'm back..."
