One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

Chapter 40 Conquering the Black Tiger Bandits

The book continues from the previous chapter.

Luffy looked at the boy who grabbed his fist and asked,

"Ah, are you here to help me?"

Hill, who had been brewing for a long time, suddenly broke his guard when he heard Luffy's words, "Are you here to help me?"

He shouted to Luffy, "Idiot, you can't even see that. How could I be here to help you!"

Luffy retracted his fist, tilted his head and picked his nose, and said, "Ah! So you're not here to help me, so what are you here for?"

Seeing Luffy's actions, Hill was furious again, and shouted to Luffy again: "You can't even tell, I am your enemy!"

"Ah, you are actually an enemy. Then I will beat you away."

Without waiting for Hill to say anything, Luffy took action directly.

The arm lengthened, and the fist moved towards Hill.

"Hey! Hey! Don't do a sneak attack." Although he said this, his fist directly touched Luffy's fist.

Then the two got into a fight.

……

On the other side, after Luffy and Hill fought, Sabo and Ace were not to be outdone and took action one after another.

In Heath's eyes, Ace's figure flashed, and in a moment, he appeared on Heath's right side and punched hard.

So fast! Heath saw Ace's movements, then turned his body and punched Ace, the wind of the punch was surging.

Feeling Heath's power, Ace said: "Not bad power, but far worse than my sister."

"elder sister?"

Ignoring Heath's question, Ace looked around and asked, "You three should be the leaders of this bandit group!"

Hearing Ace's question, Heath did not answer.

Seeing that Heath didn't want to answer, Ace retracted his fist and swept across the water pipe.

Feeling the danger at close range, Heath retracted his thoughts and jumped back to avoid the blow.

On the other hand, it was different on Sabo's side. Sabo took the water pipe provided by An and was extremely flexible. He hit Hilun back with one attack after another, leaving no room for him to fight back.

Naturally, Heath also noticed the scene on Hillen's side.

Heath, who had dodged the attack just now, did not rush to attack, but asked Ace: "Why are you causing trouble for the Black Tiger Mountain Bandits?"

"do not know."

"Sister just said that we can capture the three of you alive."

"But I still advise you to surrender. My sister is countless times stronger than us."

While talking. Ace struck again, slashing the water pipe from above, aiming directly at Heath's head.

Listening to Ace's description of his sister, Heath's heart sank, "Even the kid in front of me is so strong, so based on his description, how strong must his sister be."

boom! Heath blocked Ace's water pipe with one hand and spoke again, "Why did you catch the three of us?"

"Who knows?"

Ace said to Heath, "But this is the first time my sister has given me a task. I can't fail."

After Ace said this, he increased the force and hit Heath's waist with the water pipe again.

boom! This time Heath didn't block. He was directly knocked out by Ace.

Heath fell to the ground and stirred up puffs of smoke.

"Brother Heath! x2"

Hill and Heron on both sides shouted worriedly.

If you have time to worry about others, it's better to take care of yourself. Sabo spun the water pipe and knocked Hillen to the ground with one blow.

Just when Hirun was about to stand up and resist, Sabo pressed the water pipe against Hirun's throat. Feeling the strength of the water pipe at his throat, Hirun gave up resistance and lay back on the ground.

"Saab VS Shiren, Sabo wins!"

Sabo of Hirun was about to help Luffy when he heard Luffy shout, "Sabo can defeat him without your help."

Feeling Luffy's determination, Sabo sat cross-legged next to Hiren and began to watch the battle.

"Saab has already finished the fight, and it seems I won't delay any longer."

Ace looked directly at Heath and said in a solemn tone: "Show your true strength, and I won't take it seriously next."

After saying nothing, Ace used all his strength and hit Heath hard with the water pipe.

After hearing what Ace said, Heath didn't want to offend the sister Ace said, but others had already spoken, and he no longer hid it.

boom!

Heath grabbed Ace's water pipe with both hands, and then threw Ace away with force.

However, what Heath didn't expect was that Ace did not fall to the ground, but turned into a ball of flame in the air and landed safely.

"How can it be."

Seeing Heath's surprised expression, Ace explained: "I am a fireman who ate the burning fruit. Normal attacks have no effect on me."

After saying that, he motioned for Heath to come again.

Heath was not polite and punched Ace again.

boom!

Heath punched through Ace's body, and the punched area turned into blazing flames.

how so! Devil fruits shouldn't be this strong!

Now it's my turn, "Crossfire", this move was obtained by Ace based on Masno's movements.

The two index fingers were crossed, and the scorching flames gathered into a cross.

"I surrender!" Feeling the power of the flames, Heath yelled and immediately gave up the resistance and lay down with Hillen.

Thinking about the strength of the three Aces, Heath believed that the other party's efforts to catch him must not be to kill him.

Seeing this scene, Ace didn't mind. Anyway, his sister only needed to be captured alive.

"Ace VS Heath, Ace wins!"

Then the four of them watched the battle between Luffy and Ciel.

Compared to the battle between Ace and Sabo, Luffy's battle was much more difficult. Whether it was Devil Fruit or personal abilities, Luffy needed a lot of time to grow.

I saw Luffy and Ciel panting, sweat dripping from their foreheads, and bruises all over their bodies.

The difference is that Luffy's body is burning with green flames.

"Come again!"

Luffy yelled at Ciel.

"Damn it, what the hell is this kid? How come he's been hit so many times and yet he acts like he's fine?"

"And what is the green flame on his body? Every time I feel that this kid is about to fall, this flame will appear, and then this kid will become lively and vigorous again."

However, Luffy didn't care what Ciel thought and used all his strength to use the move again.

"Guomo Guomono? Gatling."

The rubber fist kept striking out, turning into afterimages.

Hill, feeling that his physical strength was running low, could only respond with punches.

"Wood big wood big wood big..."

For a moment, fists and shadows collided.

Luffy gritted his teeth, took a step forward, and increased the speed of his swing.

Feeling that his physical strength was exhausted, Hill secretly thought something bad!

The fist hit Hill's body, and the fist hit Hill like a storm. The last punch fell and Hill fell to the ground.

"Luffy VS Ciel, Luffy wins!"

After defeating Hill, Luffy shouted: "Ace, Sabo saw that Sabo did it without me!!"

Ace and Sabo nodded lovingly.

Suddenly Luffy felt exhausted, his body softened, and he fell into a soft embrace.

"Sister x2"

Seeing Ann's appearance, Ace and Sabo hurried over.

The performance of the three of them throughout the whole process was admired by An Dian. Except for being too reckless, the three of them did a good job.

"You did a great job this time and leave the rest to me!"

Handing Luffy to Ace, Ann strode towards Heath.

call!

The strong wind roared in the mountain forest, and the green leaves made a soft rustling sound.

Heath shook his body and stood up from the ground, staring at Ann with eyes full of curiosity...

"freeze!"

Ice blue flames burned blazingly. An waved his arm, and the ice flames quickly spread around.

In an instant, Heath's expression changed drastically, and the entire mountain instantly turned into a huge ice sculpture.

Staring down, the running momentum surged out of his body and pressed toward Heath.

An, wrapped in the phoenix flames, issued the command "Submit to me" with a majestic voice.

Heath, who had never seen such a formation before, was covered in cold sweat.

Feeling the strong aura emanating from An's body, he knelt down to express his surrender after holding on for a moment.

Looking at Heath kneeling on the ground in front of him, An regained his strong momentum and stretched out his hand to signal Heath to get up and follow her.

Feeling the unprecedented pressure disappear, Heath took two deep breaths, dusted himself off and followed.

"This is your first time, so you have to leave a good influence on the boss."

……

The two of them drifted away until they completely disappeared from everyone's eyes.

As for what Ann and Heath talked about...

Only the eternal mountains know it.
