Chapter 359 - Ace Appears

"Boom...!!"

"Bang...!"

"Kill!!"

"Damnable revolutionary army, today is the day you die!"

"Don't be so arrogant, Marine!!"

On the battlefield, the fighting shook the sky!

The ice surface was stained red with blood, with broken limbs and arms, and flesh and blood flying everywhere. 

The whole area has turned into a meat-grinding ground!

Sengoku continued to frown while his Observation Haki observed everything around him. 

The tsunami just now made him unable to feel at ease.

"Is it Whitebeard? Or Dragon's devil fruit ability?!"

Sengoku looked at Dragon, who also didn't take action, but he still didn't let go of his guard!

No one knew that at this time, behind Marine Plaza, a group of people wearing Marine cloaks were approaching the square in a cautious manner.

On the battlefield, the revolutionary army, led by two commanders and other cadres, approached the execution platform slowly.

"Get out of the way~"

Morley, from the giant tribe, held a giant harpoon and pushed up the glacier in front of him like jelly. 

All the Marines along the way were knocked away or buried by ice.

"Bang!"

A cyan figure appeared in front of Morley, and the extremely cold breath hit her face, making her shiver.

"Marine Admiral, I'm not afraid of you!"

Morley raised the harpoon high, covered it with Armament Haki, and smashed it towards Aokiji!

"Ice Block Phalanx!"

Aokiji shot five ice spears from both hands, slamming into Morley's wrist and shoulder. 

But before the ice spears could land, Morley knocked it away in just a few moves.

"Ice Block: Pheasant Peck!"

Aokiji took advantage of the victory to attack; he gathered the ice on his right arm, and then he released a massive wave of ice in the shape of a pheasant in a single blast, freezing everything it went!

Just then, a fiery red figure descended from the sky!

"That is-"

Sengoku and others all looked over, and their expressions turned pale when they discovered the person's appearance!

"Fire Pillar!"

The blazing pillar of fire fell and collided directly with Aokiji's ice pheasant; then, the next moment, a thick water vapor rose up and enveloped the battlefield!

"Captain of the Second Division of the Whitebeard Pirates, Fire Fist Ace!"

Aokiji looked solemn and stared at the man coming out of the steam!

"Are the Whitebeard Pirates going to intervene in this war?"

"Don't get me wrong." Ace waved his hand and smiled lightly: "It has nothing to do with the Whitebeard Pirates; it's just that I want to save Luffy!"

"Why!" Aokiji asked in confusion after watching for a while.

"Luffy..." Ace looked up at the execution platform and said in a serious and doting tone.

"He's my little brother!"

"Nani!?"

Ace's words shocked not only the Marines but also the Revolutionary Army and the people of the four seas!

Ace is also Dragon's son?!

"Ace!!"

Luffy, on the execution platform, shouted with anxious eyes and worry.

"Wait for me, Luffy!" Ace shouted back loudly.

"Uuuuu!!" Luffy burst into tears and cried uncontrollably. He didn't expect that even Ace would come.

"No matter what your relationship is..."

Aokiji suddenly rushed towards Ace, and the extremely cold wave spurted out: "Now that you are here, stay here! Ice Time Capsule."

"Explosive Flame Blade!!"

Dozens of flaming blades swept out, and the blazing fire and Aokiji's ice formed a realm like two heavens of ice and fire, making people afraid to approach!

(A/N: After experiencing the despair with the Beasts Pirates, Ace is much stronger than in the anime and has the strength of the veteran Vice-Admiral!)

"Since you're Luffy's brother, let's defeat the enemy together and move forward!"

Belo Betty's encouraging voice came out, and Ace suddenly felt his muscles bulge, and more vigorous power surged out of his body!

"Flame fist!"

Ace turned over and jumped; his right arm was wrapped in flames, and he shot out a dense column of fire toward Aokiji, making the flames around even more violently than usual!

"Extremely cold!"

Aokiji's face was stern, and there was ice everywhere on his body. Facing the dense column of fire, he stretched out one hand, and a strong, cold wave burst out.

"Kakaka!"

The huge flaming fist was frozen at a speed visible to the naked eye and fell to the frozen ground.

"As expected of Admiral! Even flames can be frozen!" Ace thought solemnly.

"Don't be distracted~."

A cold voice came from behind Ace.

The cold breath made Ace's hair stand on end and his pupils to shrank.

"Ice Ball!"

At this critical moment, Ace had no time to turn around, and he could only let the fierce flames envelop his whole body and burn fiercely.

Ace was frozen into a thick ice ball, but the red flames were still burning inside the ice ball.

"Ka, ka ka.."

Cracks appeared on the ice ball and kept spreading.

Suddenly, flames burst out from the ice ball and shot straight into the sky, while Ace jumped out with his whole body covered in flames!

"Aokiji!" Ace's eyes were full of solemnity; Admiral was indeed as strong as a monster!

"He is no match for Aokiji; go and help him!" Dragon said calmly as he observed the battlefield.

"Good!"

Lindbergh, the commander of the south army, flew out with the help of the propeller he was carrying.

"Admiral, try this new weapon!"

Lindbergh took out another shorter firearm and fired at Aokiji, and a long snake-like flame roared out.

"Snort!!"

Aokiji gave up his attack on Ace, stepped back, and charged at Lindbergh.

Lindbergh was in mid-air with a propeller on his back, and Ace was on the ground. The two stood opposite to Aokiji as they teamed up to fight!
