Cough!
Keke!
Ace was embedded in the stone wall, coughing violently, with blood flowing from his face. With his cough, he kept spitting out a little blood.
He struggled to free himself from the rock wall and fell to the ground, staggering over his body and almost falling, he was barely able to stand.
"How could the gap be so big …"
He looked a little vaguely in Ross's direction, unable to remain calm.
Although Laffitte was a bit tricky, he has the faith to overcome him with his power. However, Laffitte is already the top rank member of Ghost Hand Pirates. Even though Ross is the Captain, he shouldn't be too much better than Laffitte.
But the truth is.
Laffitte and Ross are not on the same level at all, it can even be said Laffitte is two or three levels behind Ross!
"Ace!"
"Are you OK?"
Many of Ace's subordinates came to their senses and rushed to help Ace.
At this time, Ross also slowly walked towards Ace.
"You guys … hurry up and run!��
Ace's eyes regained clarity and he looked at Ross coming over, he pushed away his supporters and shouted at them to run away.
At the same time, he crossed his hands in front of him and took a step forward.
"Enjomo (Flame-Up Net)!"
The fiery flames intertwined, instantly turning into a large net and appeared behind Ace, blocking everyone behind him.
"Captain!"
"Ace, what are you doing ?!"
Heated by the blazing flames, many of Ace's men were panic-stricken.
However, their eyes were blocked by the flames, and they could no longer see Ace, and Ace did not talk to them anymore and stared firmly at Ross coming over.
"Our battle, it's not over yet."
"That is to say, I can't chase after your subordinates until the end of your battle with me, right, you are quite smart and clever."
Ross looked at Ace calmly.
Ace didn't respond. He waved his arms, and the fiery flames shot wildly in all directions.
"Dai Enkai (Great Flame Commandment) …"
The circles of flame swirled and turned into towering pillars of fire, converging towards the sky, and finally turning into a huge fireball, intertwined on the sky.
Flame Emperor!
Ace lifted the bright fireball like the sun with one hand, staring at Ross without flinching.
"…"
Ross glanced at the fireball and could easily determine the power it contained.
Ace is similar to Strawhat Luffy in that both have some of the characteristics of being strong at times and can grow in Battle.
There is something to be said for the power of this move.
"Ahhh!"
The next moment, Ace screamed angrily while ignited all of his power and smashed the huge fireball like a sun at Ross.
Ross stood right where he was, his right hand folded into a clenched fist, and he simply waved.
He did take it a little more seriously.
Bang!
The huge fireball stopped short before coming to Ross' fist.
It was like a mass of mud, stirred by some force, and the whole fireball suddenly spun up and turned into a flame vortex.
Hii!
Under Ross's punch, Ace's Flame Emperor was like a faint flame and collapsed!
The whole street straight ahead seemed to be swept away by some kind of shock, the buildings were smashed to pieces, and the earth was thrown out of a gully that spread out into the sky!
Ace's body flew up high and he fell heavily on the edge of the battlefield.
There wasn't any more movement.
"It's over."
Laffitte watched this scene and stretched his body, he walked to Ross and said:
"He is a Logia user, maybe he is not dead yet, do you want to catch him?"
"How are our people?"
Ross didn't answer, but looked at Laffitte and asked back.
Laffitte said: "There were some injuries but there was no death. That boy held back his power."
"Oh."
Ross slightly nodded and said, "Then ignore him."
"If he plans to stay, report back to me."
After leaving a word, Ross's figure flickered, reached a height of hundreds of meters, and then crossed a black arc, flying into the sky.
…
Inside the Sky Island Palace.
By the time Ross returned, Robin had also received the specific event information.
"The power of Mera Mera no Mi, don't you plan to make him stay?"
When Ross walked into the palace, Robin just happened to hang the Den Den Mushi and asked Ross.
Although they cannot remove Devil Fruit from the user, just like Katakuri but it is also feasible to imprison and slowly transform them.
"We don't need to."
"The Mera Mera no Mi is nothing, I want to see what happens next."
Ross took off his coat and his eyes flickered.
Ace didn't go to Whitebeard and ran over here to challenge him, this change in event surprised him.
What kind of development will happen after he is defeated, it is something that Ross can't predict. Will Ace go to Whitebeard again?
If not, then all the subsequent developments will be off-axis, and he will have to pay attention to future events.
But.
Ross is not very concerned about these things.
With his status and power today, wars and the like are no longer sufficient to be called as key events.
All he has to do is wait, wait for Soru Soru no Mi to appear and take it into his own hands, and then use that fruit to exchange souls with Ope Ope no Mi to execute the Yonkō total extinction plan!
…
After three months.
Fire Fist Ace joined the Whitebeard Pirates.
Slightly unreasonable, but not unexpected.
"He defeated Shichibukai Jinbe then got defeated by Whitebeard and joined the Whitebeard Pirates…"
Listening to what Robin reported to him, Ross rested his chin on one hand.
Ace defeated Jinbe, but it was not unexpected, Ace fought him and he must have grown a bit in terms of power.
However, he still joined the Whitebeard Pirates, which was something that Ross could think of, but he was still slightly surprised.
"Is this the so-called Mysterious Plot Armor?"
With a murmur in his heart, Ross ignored it and set it aside.
At this moment, the Den Den Mushi, which was placed on the documents in the distance sounded.
Robin picked the Den Den Mushi to answer.
However.
After listening to two words, her expression changed slightly.
"Ross, Soru Soru no Mi appeared."
It was such a simple sentence, but Ross, who was still leaning on the back of the sofa and was lying there lazily suddenly opened his eyes the next moment.
In those eyes, there was an unprecedented sharpness, he looked like a hungry sleepy tiger who has smelled his prey for a moment!
"Where?"
There isn't any need to talk more and he just asked the simplest question.
Robin took the Den Den Mushi in one hand and took a deep breath and said slowly:
"Holy Land … Mariejois."
