I am brushing up materials in One Piece

"Ace, slow down, slow down!"

Seeing that the Charger was about to hit the pirate ship in front, Kos shouted. But soon he realized that he had asked the wrong person, so he looked at Deus and asked,

"Where's the brake?"

"There is no such thing, but the steering is still possible."

Deus reached out and pulled an operating lever at the rear of the Charger. The Charger, which was originally moving straight forward, immediately began to deflect to the right. After drifting on the sea surface and almost capsizing, the Charger completed a nearly right-angle turn.

The three people on the Charger and all the pirates on the pirate ship couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Pirates, suffer death!"

Led by a burly navy man holding a hatchet, more than a dozen naval soldiers jumped from the navy warship onto the pirate ship.

It seems that because they were completely focused on dealing with the pirates, the Navy did not notice the Charger, which gave them an advantage in the boarding battle.

Several pirates were chopped to the ground by the burly axe-wielding navy soldier before they could recover from the joy of surviving the disaster.

"I am Monka, the man who destroyed the Black Cat Pirates."

Standing among the fallen pirates, a naval soldier who called himself Monka loudly announced.

"I just want to live a stable life, why do you all stand in my way!"

Crowe, who was originally nervous because of the Stormtrooper that almost collided with him, was completely angered. He pushed up his glasses in a weird way and then turned into an afterimage and flew out.

The naval soldiers who rushed onto the pirate ship were not just fishes. According to Kos's rating standards, they were all level ten or above, and among them, the sturdy Mengka was level 18.

But after Crowe rushed over, they all fell down like wheat being cut before they could even defend themselves. After falling to the ground, several bloody scars appeared side by side on their chests.

Mengka saw a black figure flashing before his eyes. When he subconsciously swung the hatchet in his hand to attack, he only hit the afterimage, and then he felt a chill in his chest.

"puff--"

The bright red blood spurted out from the wound on Mengka's chest like no money, staining most of the deck of the pirate ship red. But he did not fall down like his colleagues. Even though his brain had begun to become muddled due to lack of blood, he still held himself together and did not fall. At the same time, he opened his eyes wide and glared at the pirates around him to prevent them from letting them go. Approach his fallen colleagues.

"boring."

When Crowe saw that Mengka hadn't fallen down, he just felt that this guy was wasting his time, so he stepped forward and wanted to hit him with a last hit.

The right finger blade was raised high and then lowered towards Mengka. This time Crowe aimed at his throat.

But as soon as Crowe's hand fell, it was blocked by something with a strong impact - it was a burning flame.

Crow's finger blade's glove burned immediately after being hit by the flames, so he had to immediately take off the finger blade and throw it on the deck.

At the same time, Crowe looked warily towards the direction of the flames, and saw a man wearing a strange hat squatting on the side of the pirate ship on the left side, with a red rosary-like necklace hanging on his chest.

That was of course Ace. He looked past the pirates and looked at Mengka who stood stubbornly, "Hey, big man, aren't you tired? Take a rest!"

Although Mengka didn't know Ace, he subconsciously felt that this somewhat weird man could be trusted.

"Thank you."

As soon as he finished thanking Ace, Mengka fell on his back with a "plop".

"Give me some face and don't hit me, okay?"

Facing the gazes of all the pirates, Ace smiled and spoke.

It's just that what he ate was the Shaoshao Fruit after all, not the Face Fruit, and Crowe was not the kind of decent person who would give face to others, so what responded to him was not the order to stop fighting but Crowe's finger blade.

Originally, Crowe was still a little wary of Ace, a Devil Fruit user, but after seeing his performance after his appearance, Crowe felt that Ace might have something wrong with his brain, so he planned to strike first to gain the upper hand first.

Almost teleporting, Crowe arrived in front of Ace and swung out the finger blades of his left hand one after another, neatly dividing Ace into dozens of pieces.

"Well done Captain Crowe!"

"He came on the scene so arrogantly. I thought how powerful that brat was?"

"Thankfully I was almost scared just now."

……

The pirates began to cheer, but only Crowe knew that he had not hurt Ace at all. Every attack he made was like cutting solidified lard with a high-temperature blade, which was definitely not the feedback of cutting into the human body.

And when he took a closer look, he found that his finger blade had turned red and was no longer far away from melting.

Looking at Ace again, his body that had been divided into dozens of pieces burned and gathered together again. Not to mention whether there were any scars on his body, even his clothes and hat were not damaged at all.

"Damn it!"

After realizing that his attack couldn't hurt Ace at all, Crowe stepped back and distanced himself.

At this time, the other pirates were also shocked when they saw Ace's body being demobilized.

"Recovered!?"

"what's the situation?"

"His body was like, like on fire."

……

"Like high."

Crowe called to his subordinates while paying careful attention to Ace's every move.

As a member who had been following Crowe for a while, Zangao immediately understood what Crowe meant, and he took out the hypnotic ring from his arms.

"Brother, look here."

Jango greeted Ace with a smile, and Ace really looked at Jango, and then his attention was attracted by the hypnotic ring swinging left and right in his hand.

"One, two, oops!"

Just when Zangao was about to say the hypnotic suggestion, a black scabbard was thrown into his face, interrupting his hypnosis.

Seeing that Ace was about to be hypnotized but was interrupted, Crowe looked angrily towards the direction where the scabbard came from and found a man with black hair and black clothes climbing out of the pirate ship on the side of the ship next to Ace. Come up.

"Just do whatever others ask you to do. I'm afraid you are not lacking in brains. What if you were hypnotized by the other person and jumped into the sea just now?"

After Kosi got on the boat, he lectured Ace angrily.

But there was no sign of remorse on Ace's face. He just smiled lightly and said, "Isn't it you and Deus?"

"It's now!"

Crowe understood that his opportunity had come. The conversation between the two just now made him understand in an instant that Ace was the kind of kid who trusted and valued his companions. In other words, as long as he controlled Ace's companions, he controlled Ace.

So Crowe rushed towards Kos without hesitation. Although it was a bit risky for Ace to be on the side, it was better than having no chance of winning.

but……

"fire punch!"

The bursting flames engulfed Crowe, and he fell covered in black smoke before he could get close to Kos.

"If you want to hurt my companions, you will never allow it!"

Ace, whose fists were burning with flames, looked at Crowe on the ground with a serious look on his face and said.
