Pirate: This general is a bit drifting!

fire punch!

Punch down.

Smoker now has two options.

Either let go of the hands holding the pirate ship and protect yourself from this fire attack.

Either continue to pull the pirate ship and choose to accept this fire attack abruptly. A fist with a fire is not an ordinary physical attack.

Suddenly, even the smoke will be burned by the flames.

Smoker didn't hesitate at all, and still held the pirate ship tightly with both hands, causing the pirate ship to sail backwards towards the dock.

next moment.

The flames instantly penetrated his whole body.

But Smoker's hand still didn't let go, and he continued to pull the pirate ship towards the dock.

The flames dissipated.

His body has become scarred and the traces of flames can be clearly seen.

Although it looks a little dingy, it's actually nothing serious.

After all, Ace at this time has not yet mastered Armament Haki. The fire attack can only injure Smoker at most, but it will never kill him instantly.

"what!!!"

Smoker let out an angry roar and exerted force with his arms. The pirate ship had parked back on the dock again.

Withdrawing his arms, Smoker limply fell to the ground.

To be honest, it is really difficult for a naval captain to forcefully pull a pirate ship sailing on the sea back to the shore.

But he did it anyway.

But this was too much of a drain on his energy.

Smoker put his hands on the ground, breathing heavily.

"Ximu, it's up to you now. Give me some time and be sure to hold them back!"

Smoker looked at Ximu with eyes full of expectation.

"The honor of Rogge Town rests on your shoulders. Don't let the pirates escape."

"Give me half an hour. After half an hour, I can regain my strength and participate in the battle."

Ximu was stunned.

What's going on? How come I became the hope of the whole town in the blink of an eye?

He followed me just to see if there was a chance to pick up another fight between the two of you, but he never thought about asking me to go into battle myself.

Seeing Ace slowly landing on the dock after wielding a fire fist, the corner of Ximu's mouth twitched.

"Half an hour? Don't worry, Colonel Smoker, I will never let the pirate in front of me escape!"

In any case, Nishiki, as a just and fearless navy, would never back down in front of pirates.

With that said, Ximu pulled out the standard saber hanging on his waist.

The blade was wrapped with black energy, and it walked step by step in front of Ace.

"Hey, are you going to stop me too?"

Ace still has a good impression of Ximu: "You know, you can't hit me."

Ximu nodded, looked back at the burning on Smoker's body, and already had a vague guess in his heart.

"But those with natural abilities are not invincible."

Ace nodded and took out the ten hands of sea tower stone that he carried on his back.

"Is that what you're talking about? Your navy is really powerful. It can actually make such a powerful weapon. I feel weak and weak when I touch it, as if my whole body was immersed in sea water."

But Ximu nodded first and then shook his head.

He assumed a thrusting stance, and the black energy on the blade became even more intense.

Ace's heart tightened inexplicably, and he clasped his ten hands tightly, becoming cautious.

Ximu's attack really did not disappoint Ace.

Black energy and energy blast!

With one strike of the sword, the sky and the earth were eclipsed.

On the entire dock, there was only a pure black sword energy.

This is Westwood's attack.

The perfect combination of fruit ability and swordsmanship.

The sword energy passed through Ace's body extremely quickly, and even though he was ready, he still didn't have time to dodge.

puff~

A large mouthful of blood spurted out of Ace's mouth, and there was an obvious stab wound on his chest.

"How is this possible? How could you hit me?"

Ace's eyes were full of disbelief.

After staggering two steps, Ace regained his balance, but the doubt in his eyes did not fade away at all.

Ximu had no intention of becoming the Riddler, so he pointed at Smoker who was recovering his strength and said.

"You taught me this. Ordinary physical attacks are of course ineffective against natural ability users like you, but it's different if you add energy attacks."

Looking at the rich black energy exuding from the blade, Ximu said in a deep voice.

"In other words, the entities of you natural ability users can be captured by energy, and the burning on Colonel Smoker's body is proof."

"That's it." Ace suddenly realized.

Seeing the black energy emanating from Ximu, Ace has completely regarded Ximu as an opponent of the same level.

"It seems that your ability is not simple. I didn't expect that this black energy is actually a kind of energy."

Hearing this, Ximu smiled secretly in his heart.

He really couldn't attack Ace originally, but the fight between Ace and Smoker was too fierce.

After picking up the energy shock wave skill, his black energy has energy properties, so he can capture some of the entities that attack Ace.

But if you want to be able to truly threaten those with natural abilities, you still need to rely on armed Haki.

Feeling that the attack just now had consumed nearly one-third of the black energy in his body, Ximu felt secretly bitter in his heart.

He can use the same trick twice.

I just don't know if Ace will fall twice with the same move.

But on the surface, Ximu didn't show any timidity.

Ace looked at Ximu with a solemn expression, put his hands behind his back again, and said in an extremely serious tone.

"In this case, I will use my strongest attack. As the first person to hurt me since I went to sea, you must be careful."

Ace's hands were wrapped around his chest, countless flames swirling and condensing in them, and finally he raised them high.

A majestic fireball suddenly took shape.

"Emperor Yan Great Yan Ring!"

Ace took a step forward, raised the fireball hand and waved it hard towards Ximu, and the boundless flames pressed towards Ximu.

Looking at the huge fireball in front of him, Ximu showed no fear on his face. The black energy in his body surged crazily, preparing to take on this attack.

But before he could get into his stance, he heard Smoker's voice behind him.

"Step back, Ximu, you have done a good job, leave the rest to me."

Ximu suddenly realized that half a quarter of an hour had passed. Smoker's physical strength had recovered a lot and he could rejoin the battle.

Looking at the huge fireball in front of him, Smoker's face did not change at all. The smoke in his body spurted out, forming a wide barrier in front of everyone.

After an unknown amount of time, the smoke dissipated and the fireball was wiped out without a trace.

At the dock, Ace had already boarded the pirate ship and set out on the route to the Upside Down Mountain.

Ace's pirate ship, the Stormtrooper, was ready to spray flames, and the entire ship disappeared into the sea like an arrow.

Smoker wanted to extend his smoke arm again to hold the pirate ship, but this time, his smoke arm was too late to catch up with the pirate ship's speed.

Ace's voice could be faintly heard on the distant sea.

"Goodbye Rogue Town."

"I have already said that it is impossible to stop me here."

"I will become the Pirate King!"
