Chapter 209

"May I ask, Mr. Zhongli? Why... did you come to save me?"

"As for that... it is not exactly a secret. I merely received a mission to come and save you."

Hearing the other party's reply,

Ace was completely bewildered.

A mission?

What kind of mission?

And who could possibly hire such a powerhouse?

Could it be someone, perhaps that deadbeat old man of his?

Thinking of the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger,

a trace of suspicion could not help but appear on Ace's face.

Perhaps only that man's former companions possessed such formidable strength.

One minute later.

The dust settled.

Within a two-meter radius centered on Zhongli and the two others, there was no damage at all; conversely, everything nearby had been reduced to a scene of devastation.

The other party still remained completely unscathed.

Seeing this scene,

Akainu's face turned livid in an instant.

"Damn you, to think you dare to mock me..."

This battle

had caused him to lose all face.

Hearing his words, Zhongli shook his head and said, "No... I never mock others; it is simply that your attacks are, to me, somewhat too feeble.

If you wish to fight,

you may use more strength...

I can still take it."

"Pfft..."

Ace couldn't help but burst into laughter.

This gentleman was just too hilarious.

He was clearly looking down on the other party.

Meanwhile, everyone else was dumbfounded.

Someone actually said Admiral Akainu's attacks lacked strength?

What was going on?

Upon hearing this, Kizaru actually looked toward Akainu as well.

Are you slacking off, kid?

I've already been acting enough.

I didn't expect you to be even better at it than me.

Aokiji also looked at Akainu, his eyes full of confusion; it seemed he wasn't part of Garp's faction.

Was he giving face today?

The gazes of the crowd converged.

Akainu felt he had been humiliated.

He leaped high into the air, looked down at the calm man below, and roared, "Who do you think you're looking down on!!! Meteor Volcano..."

Countless fists carrying rolling magma

fell frantically. ===== CHAPTER 211 =====
