Chapter 109: Secretary-General, You Still Claim You Haven

Terrifying flames in the distance eventually took the shape of a human.

He was a burly man clad in a black suit, staring at the pitch-black mist, his face filled with disbelief.

"What kind of power is this... why can it suppress my Mera Mera no Mi? My Mera Mera no Mi is one of the top-tier Logia powers in the world of the Pirate King!"

The burly man was now utterly terrified.

His time in the reincarnation space was not short, and during this period, he had heard fragments of information about the Pirate King world from veterans.

So he knew that in the Pirate King world, there existed a type of Devil Fruit called Logia—extremely powerful, capable of immunity to virtually all forms of damage.

This had become an obsession in his heart.

He spent an immeasurably long time in the reincarnation cycles, enduring life-and-death missions again and again, until he finally exchanged for the Logia Devil Fruit—the Mera Mera no Mi. This was his first mission after obtaining the Mera Mera no Mi.

But he never expected that on his very first mission after gaining the fruit's power,

he would discover that someone in this world could suppress his Mera Mera no Mi.

"Could it be... that all those... veterans lied to me?"

This was his final thought.

The next instant, Su Han lifted his eyes and activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, appearing before the burly man.

He coated his fist with Armament Haki and lunged forward in an instant.

"You're asking for death!"

The burly man's pupils contracted; he growled lowly, clenched his fist, and unleashed a punch wreathed in unimaginable flames toward Su Han.

In an environment where the entire world burned, his Mera Mera no Mi's power was amplified to an unimaginable degree.

His fist was engulfed in flames capable of warping space, colliding with Su Han's pitch-black palm.

The next moment, the Gura Gura no Mi's power activated.

An eerie force surged from the flame-covered fist and spread through the burly man's entire body.

"Mera Mera no Mi! No, it's impossible!"

The power of the Mera Mera no Mi vanished.

Fear and disbelief appeared on the burly man's face; he was trapped in an environment where the entire world burned, with no special barrier—like Luo Si's—protecting him.

Thus, in an instant, he felt an indescribable searing heat; sweat poured from every pore, and his body began to dry out completely.

"It's not yet your time to die."

Su Han's voice was calm; in a flash, he had already returned to the villa.

Then, with a casual flick, he tossed the burly man onto the ground like a dead dog and planted his foot on the man's neck.

The Gura Gura no Mi's power suppressed the Mera Mera no Mi's activation within the burly man.
