"That's it, Fire Fist Ace!"

Just as he was about to break through the naval encirclement, a burly marine blocked Ace's path.

After seeing the person in front of him clearly, Ace's eyes narrowed slightly.

Today, he is no longer the novice who just went to sea and knew nothing. Just from the style of the cape and the shoulder strap of the guy in front of him, Ace can tell that this is not an ordinary sailor, but a...

.

Vice Admiral!

The current Ace is not the same as he was more than a year later. He knows almost nothing about Haki, and the development of his fruit abilities is far from the level in the original work.

Maybe relying on the convenience of the natural system, it is okay to deal with brigadier generals and major generals, but it is still a bit difficult to deal with the lieutenant general level of the headquarters.

"Listen up, I'll hold him back for a while, and you guys can take the opportunity to rush out!"

"captain!"

"Shut up, you all have to escape before I can give it a try, otherwise I have no chance at all!"

Ace, who had always been laughing and joking, now looked much more serious.

After hearing his words, the other members of the Spade Pirates also fell silent. They all just hated why they were so weak and couldn't do anything except hold them back.

"I understand, Captain, but you must escape!"

"Don't worry, I am a man who wants to become the Pirate King, how could I fall in a place like this?"

At this moment, Ace has not yet met Whitebeard, and what he wants in his heart is still to become the Pirate King, not to help Whitebeard become the Pirate King.

After the voice fell, the fruit ability was activated directly, and a ball of flame appeared instantly, wrapping his right fist inside.

"fire..."

boom......

He was about to use his signature attack, but before he even finished shouting the name of the move, a figure flew from a distance and hit directly between Ace and Holder, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Even Holder was surprised by the sudden change, and the surrounding sailors raised their guns one by one, aiming at the area that could not be seen clearly due to the dust in the sky.

Finally, the dust gradually dissipated, and everyone could gradually see the figures inside, but...

"Hey, Ace, long time no see!"

The cloak of justice fluttered behind him, and he wore the rank of colonel on his shoulders. The straw hat on his head was long gone, replaced by a navy cap.

Ace was immediately stunned.

Luffy?

It is indeed Luffy, but what the hell is this costume?

"Kid, where are you from the navy?"

Just when Ace was in a daze, Holder spoke first. He knew all the naval colonels stationed in the Chambord Islands.

but...

There was absolutely no such person inside, he was absolutely certain of this.

At this moment, a bolt of thunder fell from the sky, landed directly next to Holder, and gradually turned into a human form.

"Lieutenant General Holder, we are affiliated with the Eighteenth Branch of the East China Sea and under the command of Lieutenant General Li Yan, the governor of the East China Sea. We have been ordered to capture Fire Fist Ace and the other members of the Spade Pirates!"

"Asshole, this is our Shampoo Islands matter, why do you, the East China Sea Navy, come to join in the fun?"

Hearing this, Holder immediately became angry.

Navy navies from all over the world come to join in the fun, but they also want to steal their own goals?

If this matter is spread out, will I still have a shameless face in front of other lieutenant generals in the headquarters?

"Lieutenant General Holder, Lieutenant General Li Yan asked me to bring you a message..."

Immediately, Nozhigao came to Holder's side and spoke softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear.

As for Holder, who listened to Nogie's high-pitched words, his application kept changing.

Sometimes I was stunned, sometimes shocked, and sometimes scared.

"Okay, I know this, but can you two take down this guy?"

Although he overheard a secret that shocked everyone and understood the reason why Li Yan wanted to intervene in this matter, he was still very doubtful about whether Nokigao and Luffy could take down Fire Fist Ace.

.

After all, in Holder's eyes, Luffy is a colonel, and Nokigao is just a brigadier general, and these two people still have the rank of Shihai branch, which means that they will have to be demoted by at least two ranks when they are placed in the headquarters.

Therefore, Holder believed that it would be a good choice to capture Ace himself and then hand it over to them. He could also sell Garp a favor, right?

"Don't worry, Lieutenant General Holder, Luffy alone is enough!"

"Okay, it's up to you!"

Hearing what Nokigao said, Holder said angrily, and then stepped back a little, as if he was watching the battle and not ready to intervene.

I'll let you go through hardships and hit a wall first, and then I'll take action.

"Luffy, how did you..."

"Ace, I already know that becoming a pirate is wrong. Now I am a naval officer!"

These words simply subverted Ace's three views.

Is this still his stupid brother who keeps clamoring to be the Pirate King all day long?

"Are you serious?"

"I have promised Li Yan to bring you all to him!"

"Li Yan? I've heard this name before. Is he the new governor of Donghai?"

"That's right, it was because of Brother Li Yan that I realized how wrong my previous thoughts were. At the same time, I also want to stop you from being wrong!"

"Luffy, are you determined to catch me?"

Ace knows Luffy's character best.

This guy is stubborn, and no one can pull him back when he is determined. Although I don’t know how the governor of the East China Sea managed to pull him from the path of pirates to the path of the navy.

But no matter what, at this moment Luffy has already moved towards the navy, and Ace also knows very well that there is no way he can convince Luffy.

"Then let me see how much you have improved after not seeing each other for a year!"

He opened his stance, and the flame that suddenly appeared enveloped his right fist again.

"fire punch!"

"shave!"

As Ace punched out, the fierce flames hit Luffy directly, and the entire ground shook.

However, relying on Shao, Luffy had already avoided Ace's Fire Fist before it landed.

And not only did he avoid it, when the fire fist fell completely, Luffy had already appeared behind Ace.

"Armed colors, rubber bullets!"

"It's useless Luffy, I'm a natural type, any physical attack..."

boom...

Before Ace could say anything, a black fist had already hit his back.

Even though Ace had already begun to elementalize, the expected scene of his fist piercing the flames did not happen. Ace only felt as if he had been punched by Garp, and his whole body was knocked away.

"Why..."

"Can Luffy attack his own body?"

Ace was punched dozens of meters away and a big pit was made on the ground. Ace, who was lying in the pit with a big font, was a little doubtful about his life at this moment.

Is this still the same Luffy who has never been able to defeat him in a fight?

Not far away, Holder, who also saw this scene, had shock written all over his face, and turned to look at Nuo Qigao.

"Are all your colonels in the East China Sea at this level?"

"Roughly the same!"

"how about you?"

"Hmm... I can probably fight three Luffies, right?"

After thinking carefully, Nokigao spoke.

When Holder heard these words, his eyes almost popped out.

As for the speed with which Luffy performed the Shave just now, as well as his accomplishments in armed colors, he is definitely not weaker than the Major General of the headquarters, and can even compete with some of the Lieutenant Generals who are ranked lower in strength in the headquarters.

In the end, you said you could fight three of this level?

What is the situation of the navy in the East China Sea?

Just as Holder's face was filled with shock, Ace slowly stood up from the pit.

"Luffy, although I don't know how you became so strong, don't think it's over like this!"

"I'm not very good at this trick, but don't die!"
