Chapter 568

While the outside world was in an uproar because of the previous events, the Ninja Guild was as it had always been.

Now, there was less than a week left until the Ninja Guild held its World Assembly!

On this day, a large ship quietly left Alabasta, and its target was the Sabaody Archipelago!

On this same day, a huge ship wrapped in bubbles also left Fish-Man Island, and the direction of its advance was also the Sabaody Archipelago.

In the following period, countries and forces set off one after another, either openly or quietly, and the targets of these forces were surprisingly consistent: all were rushing toward the Sabaody Archipelago.

Without a doubt, Lin Xuan's live-streamed operation to attack Impel Down, and his subsequent raid on the Holy Land, Mary Geoise, had caused some who hadn't made up their minds to suddenly decide to defect to his camp!

At the same time, the World Government soon received the news and quickly dispatched fleets to intercept those going to attend the assembly.

However, in the Ninja Guild, ninjas also left the Sabaody Archipelago in squads one after another, heading to all parts of the world to welcome and protect those coming to attend the World Assembly!

Under the protection of the Ninja Guild's powerhouses, these fleets not only failed to intercept their targets in the end, but instead suffered significant losses.

Especially one fleet that encountered members of the Bai Huzi Pirates on the way, and as a result, was completely wiped out.

Grand Line, a nameless small island.

The island was lush with trees, yet very quiet, far away from all the hustle and bustle, as if everything in the world was isolated from here.

However, on this day, two uninvited guests broke into this place, breaking the peace here.

"Boom!"

A flash of fire erupted, followed by a figure flying backward from a distance and crashing onto the ground.

This was a black-haired, freckled young man, who had suffered not-so-light injuries, looking angrily at the person walking toward him, and said coldly: "Teach, even if I die today, I will kill you here!"

Opposite him was a dark-skinned middle-aged man with a few missing teeth, a rugged appearance, and a burly build.

"Ace, now that I possess the Dark-Dark Fruit ability, I can restrain your ability; you won't be my opponent!" The middle-aged man laughed upon hearing this.

These two were none other than Fire Fist Ace and Blackbeard, Marshall D. Teach.

Although the Summit War had broken out early, the two had eventually met.

Not long ago, Fire Fist Ace had bid farewell to his old man, Bai Huzi, and despite his old man's dissuasion, still chose to pursue Blackbeard.

And because of the two wars, Blackbeard hadn't captured Ace to become a Warlord of the Sea, but he had already gathered a group of not-so-weak helpers around him.

The two sides encountered each other on the sea and soon erupted into a great battle.

However, Ace's side was at a disadvantage in numbers and was eventually defeated; his other companions were killed, and only Ace was chased here by Blackbeard.

The two had been fighting until now, and Ace was already somewhat exhausted. At this moment, he didn't say much more, and flames erupted on his arms.

"Entei: Great Flame Column!"

Scorching flames shot out from his arms, whistling toward Blackbeard opposite him.

Blackbeard opposite laughed, dark matter erupted all over his body, and he reached out his palm toward the flame column, rapidly absorbing it.

Soon, the flames rapidly weakened and were eventually completely absorbed by the dark matter, dissipating completely in the blink of an eye, which caused Ace's expression to change slightly.

"Ace, I said, you are not my opponent!" Blackbeard sneered.

At the same time, he seemed to have lost his patience and intended to finish off Ace as soon as possible, the dark matter on his body erupting again.

"Black Hole!"

A large amount of darkness rapidly eroded the ground, forming a black hole on the ground, beginning to rapidly devour everything around it, and Ace's figure was also sinking rapidly.

However, just at this moment, an impatient voice rang out: "Who gave you permission to be noisy here?"
