Pirate: This general is a bit drifting!

"cut."

Although his ability was seen through, Ximu didn't care.

Throwing away the bandage in his hand.

Looking at the burning man in front of him, Ximu sighed.

Now, after losing Hailou Shi Jushou, he is indeed a little helpless against Ace.

Looking at the Ten-Shou Hailou Stone in Ace's hand, Ximu rolled his eyes and already had a calculation in his mind.

Try to find a way to snatch the ten hands that originally belonged to Smoker.

Sensing the meaning in Ximu's eyes, Ace subconsciously clenched his hands, but still did not forget to laugh.

"It seems that your navy's craftsmanship also includes such fraudulent and defective products."

Looking at the ten hands in his hand, Ace winked and said, "But that's right. How can the colonel's weapon be the same as the ensign's weapon?"

Hearing this, the corners of Ximu's mouth twitched.

This was the first time in his naval career that he was laughed at by pirates.

ah!

Ximu shouted softly, not intending to continue talking to Ace, and then started to move his hands.

The Seven-Star Sword flew in his hand.

Ace's face became increasingly ugly, and he lost even half of his high spirits.

His strength was draining away at an unusually fast rate.

In just a short period of time, more than half of his physical strength had been consumed.

Looking at the Seven-Star Sword emitting black light in Ximu's hand, Ace understood.

It's the sword that did it.

"It seems that this demon sword that has been circulated on Aska Island for thousands of years has really been conquered by you."

Ace was filled with emotion in his heart. He thought Ximu would give the sword back to the people of Aska Island to seal it.

Now it seems that this demon sword was actually taken by Ximu as his own.

Ximu said nothing and continued to use black energy to activate the Seven Star Sword. Black energy filled the surroundings of the battlefield.

This black energy was silently absorbing Ace's physical strength, and was transformed into the power of the blood moon in the Seven Star Sword.

Ace punched out, and the flames covered Ximu like a violent storm.

Seeing his close-to-the-cheek move hitting Ximu firmly, Ace's face finally showed joy.

He thought Ximu was defeated by him.

But the joy on his face only appeared for a moment and then faded.

among the flames.

Ximu walked out slowly.

The traces burned by the flames on the body are restored at a speed visible to the naked eye under the influence of the blood moon.

Just a few breaths.

Ximu looked as if he had never been hit by flames.

Stepping out of the flames, Ximu grabbed Jushou directly from Ace's palm.

Ace suddenly discovered that most of his physical strength had been lost. He was so weak that he watched helplessly as Ximu took away the Hailou Stone Jushou from his hand.

The next moment, Ace felt a pain on his shoulder and fell to the ground.

Ten hands were pressing on his shoulders.

Under the suppression of Hailou Stone, Ace can no longer become elemental.

An even more weak and powerless feeling surged into my heart, and it was impossible to stand up now.

But in the next second, Ace's eyes widened, and his joy returned to his brows.

The ten hands taken away by Ximu actually shattered to pieces again.

Looking at the sea floor stone that had turned into pieces again, Ximu sighed.

"Perhaps the navy's weapon craftsmanship is not as bad as you said. Is there a possibility that my black energy can restrain Hailou Stone?"

When his black energy flowed through Jushou, Ximu suddenly discovered it.

The black energy that touches the Hailou Stone appears particularly active.

The originally extremely inert Hailou Stone also became active. The mysterious energy in the Hailou Stone jumped and merged with Ximu's black energy.

The sea floor stone that lost its element of the sea suddenly became fragile.

The fragile sea floor stone turned into fragments on the ground with a few waves of Xi Mu.

Looking at the fragments of sea floor stone on the ground, Ximu bent down and picked it up. This time he did not feel the weakness of touching the sea.

These fragments have turned into ordinary black stones.

Throwing away the fragments, Ximu walked up to Ace.

Looking at Ace standing up again, Ximu slowly inserted the Seven Star Sword on the ground in front of Ace.

Ace, who had just stood up, suddenly felt that his energy loss was accelerating.

His physical strength was being integrated into the long black sword in front of him at a steady rate.

Finally, it seemed that my physical strength had reached its limit.

Ace staggered a few steps and fell heavily to the ground.

He looked at Ace who was lying on the ground, too weak to stand up at all.

Ximu sighed.

"I think your vice-captain is right. Now it seems that you are indeed no match for me."

Upon hearing this, Ace gritted his teeth and said nothing.

"However, I don't intend to arrest you now."

Ximu held the sword with both hands and looked down at Ace, a large shadow beneath him covering Ace.

"what?!"

Ace's eyes widened, unable to believe what he just said from Nishiki's mouth.

He did not expect that Ximu, a marine, would actually choose to let him go after defeating him.

"Do you know what you're doing?"

"Of course I know."

Ximu pulled out the Seven-Star Sword stuck on the ground, turned around and walked towards the island, saying without looking back as he walked.

"Last time, you saved me from Saka. If I let you go this time, we will be settled."

Ximu paused here and then continued.

"Don't think that I will let you go. I will give you three days to escape. After three days, I will continue to pursue you."

"Do you know what you are doing? You will regret it." Ace shouted.

"I never regret anything, Gol D. Ace."

Upon hearing the name, Ace's face suddenly froze.

"What are you talking about? My name is Portcas D. Ace, not Gol D. Ace!" Ace roared with great anger.

"Are you still denying your identity now? As the posthumous son of the Pirate King, aren't you going to sea just to surpass Roger?"

Having said this, Ximu turned around.

"I, Ximu, have something to tell you today, and I hope you can remember it."

"what?"

"You, Ace, will never become the Pirate King."

"Damn it!" Upon hearing this, Ace staggered to his feet and wanted to punch Ximu in the face.

Ximu turned aside to avoid the punch, and the weak Ace fell to the ground again.

Kneeling next to him, Ximu looked at Ace who was struggling to stand up again and said.

"Why do you still want to attack me? I just told a fact."

Looking at Ace lying on the ground gnashing his teeth, Ximu sighed and continued.

"If you think what I said is wrong, you can stand up, find your crew, find your pirate ship, and embark on the Great Line to become the Pirate King. Can you defeat me just by lying here? Have you become the Pirate King?"

"Face the reality, you are a bit weak now and are no match for me."

After hearing this, Ace gritted his teeth and stood up again, but this time he did not attack Ximu.

He said nothing, his whole body was shaking weakly, but he still managed to walk towards the seaside.

On the beach, the Stormtrooper is parked there.

Ace was shaking all over, panting heavily, and moved step by step towards the boat on the beach.

Under the boat, his crew members had already rushed over.

Behind.

Nishiki's loud laughter sounded.

"Yes, run away."

"Just run away."

"My stupid Ace, let me see if you can become the Pirate King."
