One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

Chapter 115 Ronin Natsu

Flames and clouds intertwined and enveloped the town. In the clouds, Rodrick relied on his elementalization and cloud perception abilities to avoid Ace's attacks again and again.

As a user with such a fruit ability, Rodrick is not afraid of Ace's attacks, but the continuous use of elementalization will also consume his little physical strength.

"Mirror Flame"

A large amount of orange flames with a higher temperature than the previous red flames gathered on Ace's right arm, constantly accelerating and rotating. When the flames accumulated to a certain extent, he punched out, and the flames turned into a high wall of mirror-flat flames, towards Rodri. Katsuhira pushed away.

Seeing the wall of fire that was as big as several houses, Roderick did not hide this time.

"lark"

He clasped his hands together in the shape of a gun and pointed forward. A large number of white clouds overflowed from his fingertips and intertwined into a huge skylark. His body further compressed until it became the same size as a wall of fire.

Although Skylark has become smaller in size, its power has not weakened.

The two behemoths collided, and this time Roderick's attack did not collapse at the first touch.

"The natural system is an invincible existence. You'd better let me go as soon as possible to save us from wasting each other's time."

"The frog in the well, who gave you the confidence!"

Just when Roderick was feeling complacent, a figure suddenly appeared behind him.

"Iron Dragon? Broken Star"

Roderick was startled by the sound in his ears, but after a moment, out of confidence in the fruit, he ignored the attack from behind.

The silver-white water pipe was waving, and the black military color covered it. Sabo was floating in the air, leaning forward, and holding the black water pipe high with blue veins on his arms.

The hardness of the weapon, the huge strength of the arm, and the super high speed of movement, all three merged into one, an explosion sounded, and the blow hit Rodrick hard on the back.

Feeling the hard object on his back, Roderick showed an expression of disbelief that such a fruit was actually hit in his body.

"Crack!"

Before he could think about it, the heartbreaking pain spread to his brain, and Sabo's blow directly broke his spine.

"Ugh!!!"

Unlike other places, the pain from a broken spine is far greater than anywhere else.

Amidst the blood-curdling screams, Sabo continued to exert force.

His body bent backwards, and Roderick flew to the other end of the town like a shooting star.

Ace was not dissatisfied at all with Sabo suddenly joining the battle, since he was not armed anyway.

The two brothers looked at each other and disappeared at the same time, chasing Roderick.

Port of Cache Island.

Luffy, who flew to the enemy pirate ship on a cannonball, unleashed his true nature without Ace's suppression.

In the surprised expressions of the soldiers in Nice, Luffy, who transformed into "Tarzan", shuttled among the pirates, slapped him on the left and slapped him on the right, making the pirates suspect that he was a thief.

The town of Cadches.

Natsu, who was walking forward aimlessly, stopped at the entrance of a tavern.

Even if he sensed the fighting happening behind him, he had no interest in helping.

"It seems like that annoying dog is dead." As soon as he pushed open the door of the tavern, Natsu noticed that Moore's aura had disappeared.

Entering the tavern, under the fearful eyes of the boss, Natsu filled up the wine bottle, threw down a few Ten Thousand Dollar Baileys and walked out.

On the street, Natsu, who had just walked out, saw Rodrick flying from a distance, smashing the ground in front of him into a spider web shape.

"Roderick?" Natsu raised his eyebrows and looked at the man on the ground.

Although Roderick can't be said to be very strong, at least few people can defeat him relying on the natural devil fruit. Many of his own strong men who were not weak in the Grand Line were unable to defeat him because of the elementalization of natural energy.

"It seems that we have met a strong person this time," Natsu took a sip of wine and thought again and again, but he still picked up the dead fish-like Roderick and walked forward, murmuring: "Save my life, I saved your life, and we owe each other nothing. "

As soon as he moved his steps, two figures, one red and one blue, appeared in front of Natsu.

The three of them stood facing each other on the street without speaking.

"Why save him!"

Ace did not regard Natsu as some kind-hearted person passing by. What he saw and heard strongly warned him about the power of the slutty man in front of him.

This may be the strongest outsider he has encountered in these years.

"No reason, just to repay his kindness!" Natsu said casually.

"You have repaid your kindness, but who will be responsible for the ordinary people on this island who died tragically because of him, those girls who were bullied, and those soldiers who died trying to protect this island."

Ace said angrily, pointing at the unconscious Roderick on Natsu's shoulder.

Ace has always been gentle. After years of teaching from his sister, this gentleness is no longer limited to relatives.

He raised his head and took a sip of strong wine, and the clear water slid down his chin. Natsu thought of his own experience and sneered, "Be responsible, why should you be responsible? Their deaths can only be blamed on their own bad luck. This world is not Is this it? Everyone’s fate has already been determined.”

Wiping the wine from his lips and short beard, he shook his hand vigorously and put away the gourd of wine. Natsu stared at Ace indifferently, "Don't act so merciful here. There are countless unlucky people in this world, and you are... There are only a few that can be managed.”

"Stop feeling sorry for yourself! A person's life is never determined by some bullshit fate. What really determines their life is their attitude towards the world."

"Two people with very different personalities will never have the same life. Don't impose your misfortunes on others."

The thoughtful Ace could see the problem of the Ronin in front of him at a glance.

"It seems you don't agree with me taking him away!"

Throwing Roderick to the ground, Natsu took off the scarlet sword hanging from his waist.

"You can leave, but he can't!" Ace gave his answer without hesitation.

"Then there's nothing to talk about!"

Without further words, Natsu directly pulled out a bloody long sword from the scarlet scabbard, and at the same time, the smell of blood hit his face.

"Ace!" Sabo frowned and reminded his brother softly.

With the tacit understanding cultivated since childhood, Ace knew what Sabo wanted to say and interrupted directly: "Leave it to me!"

"Be careful!" Sabo said this and stepped aside.

"fire punch!"

The blazing white flames surged out like a flaming beast heading towards Natsu.

Thanks to having eaten the Shao Shao Fruit very early and having An's guidance, Ace's development of the fruit and the purification of the flame temperature were no weaker than those of the original.

"Well done!"

With an angry shout, Natsu threw away the robe covering his upper body, revealing his upper body covered with various scars, the most special of which was a long and narrow scar diagonally slashing down from his left shoulder.

"One sword style? Straight thrust"

There was no dodge or fancy operation. The blood-red sword belt was filled with blood. Natsu held the sword with both hands and let the flames burn him. The sword stabbed Ace straight.

"Fighting for life, this is how Natsu fights."
