Chapter 220

He urgently said to Ace:

"Ace, run away quickly! Do not fall into Akainu's trap!"

Ace gritted his teeth, his face full of unwillingness and anger.

How could he tolerate that hateful Akainu speaking of Father like that?

He got up, unwilling to leave just like that.

With this delay, Ma Erke finally could not withstand Akainu's magma and was knocked flying.

Akainu fought with increasing ferocity, continuing to charge at Fire Fist Ace, while saying:

"You who inherited Luo Jie's bloodline, yet your strength is such trash! This must be due to Bai Huzi, huh? He is indeed a complete failure!"

Ace's eyes turned completely red from the provocation, and he roared hoarsely:

"You bastard, do not speak of Father like that! I will kill you!"

Ace was completely clouded by anger, ignoring all阻拦 from the other Whitebeard Pirates captains, determined to fight Akainu head-on.

But he was no match for Akainu, and soon found himself in grave peril.

Akainu struck with extreme ruthlessness, every move lethal; Fire Fist Ace nearly died several times!

Seeing this situation, Bai Huzi could no longer remain calm.

He dragged his heavily injured, heavy body toward Ace.

Hero Karp remained torn between choosing justice or family, and did not stop him.

But Sengoku, standing on the execution platform and seeing the entire scene, would not allow Bai Huzi to act freely.

Sengoku, transformed into a golden Buddha, leaped into the high sky and slammed his palm toward Bai Huzi.

A terrifying shockwave gathered in his palm.

"Bai Huzi, whether it is you or Luo Jie's son, today you are both finished!"

With the Navy Fleet Admiral Sengoku personally intervening, Bai Huzi had no choice but to stop.

A transparent vibration wave covered his fist, colliding with the shockwave in Sengoku's palm.

Boom!

The air shattered, and fierce winds surged wildly.

With Sengoku holding Bai Huzi back, Akainu had no more worries.

Akainu held nothing back, unleashing his full strength completely.

Using the awakened ability of the Magma-Magma Fruit, he turned the ground beneath Fire Fist Ace into magma.

Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent was caught off guard, a Dog Tooth Red Lotus bit down on Ace's shoulder, completely fixing him in place.

Then, a scorching magma fist pierced straight through Fire Fist Ace's chest, emerging directly from his back.

Fire Fist Ace's eyes widened, as if he could not believe he was about to die.

He dazedly looked down, staring at the magma arm piercing his chest.

The intense heat of the magma melted even his heart inside his body.

He was not a monster like Bai Huzi, who could still move after being struck by Akainu's Hell Hound.

Nor was he the Drought Jack, whose defense was invincible and who could bathe in magma.

He had nothing particularly outstanding; he ate the Burn-Burn Fruit that anyone could use to spit fire, and he did not inherit his father Luo Jie's talent in Haki.

He might seem very powerful before ordinary people, but in the eyes of top-tier experts, he was completely insignificant.

Even with Bai Huzi's help, the distance between him and the position of Pirate King remained a hundred thousand miles.

Akainu coldly withdrew his fist.

Fire Fist Ace's body fell to the ground, then was swallowed by the magma on the ground, burned to nothing, leaving not even ash behind.

The entire scene instantly fell into dead silence.

The Whitebeard Pirates' eyes nearly burst from their sockets.

They could not believe that Ace, whom they had struggled so hard to rescue, had died just like that?

Bai Huzi, who was currently fighting Sengoku, felt his heart wrench in pain, his old eyes blurring.

For Bai Huzi, the most painful thing in the world was for the white-haired to bury the black-haired.

Alongside the grief, an unprecedented terrifying killing intent erupted from Bai Huzi!

Sabaody Archipelago.

Luo Xing felt nothing at all regarding the death of Fire Fist Ace.

What he cared about more was that the world's strongest man, Bai Huzi, was finally about to unleash his power!

Jinbe behind him wore an expression of deep sorrow.

Jinbe did not blame Luo Xing; on the contrary, he was very grateful to Luo Xing.

Because the Moria that Luo Xing ordered rescued Ace from the execution platform.

It was Ace himself who fell for Akainu's Provocation Tactic, ignoring warnings from Ma Erke and others, leading to his death.

Jinbe looked toward Bai Huzi with renewed worry.

Bai Huzi had previously been struck by one Hell Hound from Akainu, leaving a bloody, gaping hole in his chest.

Anyone else would have died long ago with such injuries, yet Bai Huzi could still wield power that shocked the world.

But how much longer could Bai Huzi endure?

At this moment, the raging anger and killing intent surging from him were probably the last Dragging the Weight of this strongest man!

At the same time.

Behind the Navy Headquarters building.

Moria was hiding there and had not left Marineford.

He also bore another task: to keep watch over Blackbeard.

"My lord Luo Xing said Blackbeard would sneak up from behind Marineford. I wonder if that's true?"

Moria was somewhat suspicious.

After all, Luo Xing was no worm in Blackbeard's belly; how could he predict Blackbeard's movements so precisely?

Yet very soon,

Moria was utterly awestruck by Luo Xing's foresight.

For the figures of the Blackbeard Pirates had already appeared on the sea.

The Blackbeard Pirates currently numbered only five members.

Blackbeard, Jozu, Lafitte, Doc Q, and Van Augur.

Originally, Blackbeard had planned to subdue the criminals of the Sixth Floor of the City to double his ranks, but he was cut off by the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing.

Blackbeard was extremely furious yet helpless.

This Summit War was clearly his doing; it was the grand stage he had prepared to make his name known to the world.

At first, everything had gone so smoothly, as if Heaven itself were aiding him.

But ever since he encountered the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing, he had been plagued by constant bad luck.

Every time he met Luo Xing, nothing went right for him, and he always ended up fleeing first.

How could Blackbeard, proud and ambitious, who sought to replace Whitebeard and become one of the new Four Emperors, endure such humiliation?

He had already decided that once he obtained Whitebeard's Gura Gura no Mi ability, he would settle the score with the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing!

Fired up, Blackbeard rushed nonstop from Impel Down to Marineford.

And after taking a long detour, he deliberately landed behind Marineford.

Standing on the shore, Blackbeard let out a cackling laugh to his four subordinates:

"Hehehe, we've finally arrived!"

"The Whitebeard Pirates and the Navy must be mutually exhausted by now. It's time for me to reap the rewards!"

"Once I possess the abilities of both the Yami Yami no Mi and the Gura Gura no Mi, then Kaido of the Beasts, the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing, and all others will become my defeated foes!"

"The future belongs to me, Blackbeard!"

Blackbeard was very excited, very agitated.

As long as he could seize Whitebeard's Gura Gura no Mi, all the setbacks he suffered from Luo Xing before could be made up for.

But just as Blackbeard was lost in his arrogance,

a mocking voice suddenly sounded behind him:

"Hey, hey, little Blackie, you dare say my lord Luo Xing will be your defeated foe? That the future is your era?"

"Has your brain been squeezed by a door? What grand dreams are you dreaming in broad daylight!"
