Super Seminary: Blooming All the Way

After Sea Knight Jinbe's unsuccessful attempts to persuade Fire Fist Ace, he had no choice but to give up.

Despite this, he attended the party and eventually left.

During this period, Jinbei's relationship with Ace gradually warmed up, and the two eventually became good friends. During this time, Jinbei even challenged Lucifer, but he was defeated by Lucifer with one punch.

The members of the Spade Pirates were amazed at Lucifer's strength and were even more in awe of him. After all, he was one of the Shichibukai. Although their captain could fight the Shichibukai to a draw, Lucifer told them that Jinbe was a fish-man and could only show his full strength in the sea; and Ace only defeated a Shichibukai who was not fully powerful.

After saying this, Ace looked even more frustrated.

"Cousin!"

Lucifer slapped Ace's shoulder hard, with such force that Ace mistakenly thought he was being attacked.

"Don't you think there's something wrong with the direction of your Flame-Flame Fruit development?"

Ace was very surprised to hear Lucifer say this.

"Is my development of the Flame-Flame Fruit going in the wrong direction?"

Ace couldn't believe it.

"That's right. You just increased the amount of flames, but the actual damage didn't increase significantly. Wouldn't it be better to increase the temperature of the flames to the point where it can burn people to ashes?"

Lucifer gave an example, such as turning flames into plasma, the temperature would be incredibly high, or like the Extremis virus in the movie, it would make any alloy irresistible and could be split apart easily.

“I’ve tried this, but it’s very tiring.”

Ace replied. For him, it was not necessary to enhance the fire damage, and he could deal with a large number of enemies by expanding the range of the fire.

"So, this is why you can't beat Sea Knight Jinbei and your cousin."

Lucifer spoke bluntly. Ace was speechless for a moment after hearing this. Indeed, whether it was Jinbei or Lucifer, it seemed that they did not take his fire ability seriously.

"Imagine if your flames were strong enough to evaporate Jinbei's seawater as soon as it got close to him, then Jinbei would be like a fish to be grilled in front of you."

Lucifer continued.

"Your fire fist is actually quite good. You only need to increase the temperature of the flame. You don't need to throw it out. You can defeat all enemies with close combat alone."

Ace usually uses fire fists to set other people's ships or people on fire. Even facing the ordinary water strike of Seaman Jinbe, he can hit it, but in Lucifer's opinion, it is better to gather the flames on the fist or body like Blue Fist, and engage in close combat. It can also practice physical skills and avoid being trapped in a helpless situation once the ability of the Flame-Flame Fruit is restrained like against Blackbeard.

"No one wants to get into close combat with a ball of fire."

Lucifer believes that, just like the principle of slowly boiling a frog, even if someone can withstand the ultra-high temperature and fight Ace in close combat, their proteins will denature over time.

"Is this really possible?"

Ace was full of doubts.

"My silly brother, of course! What I am teaching you now is how to fight against a strong enemy. If you just insist on following the old ways, you will only be able to deal with the weak."

Lucifer replied calmly.

"What's that name..."

Ace couldn't help but complain, but he was still thinking about how to increase the temperature of the flame and keep the fire fist from being fired.

However, the operation of increasing the temperature of the Flame-Flame Fruit is very difficult. Increasing the amount of flame is easy for Ace, but increasing the temperature is very difficult.

The temperature of a flame determines its color, and flame is essentially a chemical reaction.

At low temperatures, it appears as infrared rays. As the temperature rises, the flame changes from red and orange (about 3000 degrees) to yellow and white (about 4000 degrees), to cyan and blue (5000-6000 degrees), to purple (over 7000 degrees) and finally to invisible ultraviolet rays (tens of thousands of degrees). The color is always changing.

Ace's flame is a normal red or orange color, which is obviously not even as hot as Akainu's magma, so it is determined that its temperature is between candle temperature - about 300 to 350 degrees, of course it may be several hundred degrees.

But it will definitely not exceed 800 degrees, because a flame exceeding this temperature is enough to evaporate seawater in an instant.

The Flame-Flame Fruit does not require fuel. Just as Akainu's magma can melt the iron sword in an instant, it starts at at least two thousand degrees, which is higher than the temperature of magma in reality.

If flames can burn without oxygen, this means that Ace's flames could reach temperatures as high as those produced using chemical fuels.

However, Ace said that raising the temperature would cause his physical strength to be quickly depleted. Could it be that he was using his physical strength as fuel?

"Brother Lucifer, do you think Ace can succeed?"

The members of the Spade Pirates are all very concerned about this issue. They have discovered that their captain seems to be possessed by a demon recently and they have never seen him so devoted to one thing.

"must be able to."

Lucifer said firmly. Ace was now in frustration and naturally wanted to become stronger. Lucifer gave Ace a clear direction for development.

If you think about it carefully, if Blackbeard really escapes in the future, Ace might be able to teach Blackbeard a lesson.

A few days later, the Spade Pirates arrived at Whitebeard's territory and landed on an island.

The people on the island looked at them with great concern after seeing the flag of the Spade Pirates.

"Rest here for a while, then go look for Whitebeard."

Lucifer has become the de facto leader of the Spade Pirates, thanks to his relationship with Ace. Otherwise, even if he is very powerful, Deuce and others will not obey him. Now everyone naturally obeys his orders willingly.
