Chapter 127 Master Kurorosen
Ace's voyage went exceptionally well; in short... everything went too smoothly for him...
As a young boy, he formed the "Spade Pirates" as soon as he set sail and became the only Supernova of his generation!
He then defeated Hanafuda, the "Lizard King," one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, causing him to be removed from the list of Warlords. He became famous throughout the seas for his youthful arrogance and refused the World Government's invitation to become a Warlord of the Sea, instead heading to the New World.
While wandering in Wano Country, he happened to encounter Kaido and his crew on an expedition, with none of the powerful figures present. He fought a battle with Kaido's daughter, Yamato, to a draw, and in the process, he also smashed the dragon statue that symbolized Kaido's authority.
He came to believe that the Four Emperors were nothing special...
He then encountered Shanks, who was also one of the Four Emperors. After learning about Ace's relationship with Luffy, Shanks held a grand banquet to entertain Ace and Luffy about their experiences in the territories of the two Four Emperors, which made Shanks almost arrogant and disdainful of everyone!
And then...
The battle with Jinbe, the Knight of the Sea, ended in a draw!
Challenging the world's strongest man—Edward Newgate the Whitebeard!
After failing the challenge, he was appreciated by Whitebeard, who invited him to join the Whitebeard Pirates. In just one year, he became the captain of the second division!
The aura of destiny made his journey smooth sailing, and it could be said that it was precisely because things were too easy that he did not have a clear understanding of his own strength, which led to his being killed in the pursuit of Teach.
He was imprisoned in Impel Down, where his identity as Roger's son was discovered, and he was publicly executed, triggering the earth-shattering rescue operation—the Marineford War.
In Chrollo's view, Ace, like Crocodile and Enel, relied too much on his Devil Fruit and did not fully develop his own body, which is why he did not master Armament Haki and Observation Haki!
His Devil Fruit abilities are not as powerful as Sasa and Rumble.
And that is indeed the case.
"Great Flame Ring - Flame Circle"
—
Seeing Kuroro charging at him, Ace immediately created a thousand-meter-high tornado-shaped wall of flames around his body. Waves of fire shockwaves spread outwards, radiating a scorching heat, in an attempt to repel Kuroro.
However, he greatly underestimated Kuroro's abilities.
"A tranquil, dust-free place."
As the Dustless Land was released, an absolutely silent domain formed within a ten-meter radius around Kuroro. Flames entering this domain were instantly extinguished, as if their oxygen supply had been cut off, and not even a trace of light disappeared!
Using this dust-free land, Chrollo carved out an absolutely flame-free zone within Ace's ring of flames, getting close to Ace.
A look of astonishment crossed Ace's face as Kuroro's fist swung towards him, zooming in rapidly in his vision, a faint glint of light flashing from within the fist.
"It's useless! Physical attacks have no effect on me!"
Ace had just finished uttering his threat when, "Bang!"
With a loud bang, Kuroro's iron fist, coated in Armament Haki, sent him flying. His figure flew backward through the forest like a cannonball, crashing into several large trees behind him before slowly landing on the ground, his fate unknown.
Baffa and Jorah, who were secretly observing from the bushes in the distance, both froze in shock.
That's Portgas D. Ace, the second division captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, with a bounty of 550 million!
Was he just punched away like a little chick?
The two stared in utter horror at Kuroro's direction. What kind of monster was that?!
"Pat...pat..."
Kuroko crushed the blackened, charred branches on the ground and slowly walked towards Ace, looking down at him.
"Pottery D. Ace, Second Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates—what brings you here?"
Ace slowly stood up from the ground, blood dripping down his arm onto the ground. Luckily, he had just bent his arm to block the punch in front of his chest; otherwise, it would have been his sternum that was shattered.
Ace's face was contorted with rage.
What's going on today...? All I'm encountering are monsters that can attack me...
spit-
Ace spat out a mouthful of blood onto the ground, blood gushing from his fists again. He stared intently at Chrollo in front of him, the successive blows leaving him no time to think.
He now has only one thought: to defeat the formidable enemy before him.
"We can no longer communicate normally...."
Looking at Ace's expression, Kuroro made a judgment in an instant.
It's a common problem among the kids raised by Garp: they believe that fists can solve everything.
In an instant, Kuroro also made a judgment...
"Since we've met, let's not miss the opportunity."
"Then... I'll hunt you."
Hunting him is equivalent to protecting him; after all, staying with Kuroro is better than dying.
Although that would have unimaginable consequences for the future course of pirate history...
but..
worth!
The returns and risks are balanced!
The main reason is that Kuroro is too short of reputation points!
Hunting Ace would offend Whitebeard... and even the Marines, Garp, and many other figures...
But as Kuroro said, the Phantom Troupe... while not yet fully grown, has maxed out its escape and survival skills!
Door-Door Fruit, Four-Dimensional Apartment, Instant Switch, Float-Float Fruit, and the Rumble that's about to be obtained.
Although they couldn't win, Kuroro didn't believe that anyone in this world could stop them.
Even a white-bearded man couldn't do that!
The bold get rich, the timid starve!
As a key figure in the most crucial plot of the One Piece world, the reputation gained from hunting Ace must be unimaginable!
Moreover, the Flame-Flame Fruit is quite powerful.
Although the powerful figures of the New World in later periods all possessed fire-wielding abilities, the fire from the Flame-Flame Fruit still burned brighter.
"Bonnie, bring me those two little rascals hiding in the bushes."
Kuroro instructed Bonney, "Even a small mosquito is still meat."
Then, with a flash... a shallow pit appeared beneath his feet, a howling wind whipped up his hair, and Kuroro, at incredible speed, once again threw a punch at Ace... "Your development of your Devil Fruit ability is very strong, but perhaps it's because you've had it too easy."
"
"It makes you gradually become too dependent on the fruit and neglect the development of your body itself."
Kuroro looked at Ace, a smirk playing on his lips. "Let me teach you a lesson today~"
"Only domineering spirit can overcome everything 99"
"Crack—boom—thump"
Heavy thuds echoed through the forest, accompanied by bursts of flames that burned almost the entire forest stretching for several kilometers.
However, amidst the scorched earth... Ace is constantly being beaten up.
His face was bruised and swollen, and he was almost unconscious...
Kuroro's Dustless Land, combined with his Armament Haki, was far too effective against him.
However, as the battle continued, traces of blackness began to creep up onto Ace's body as well.
Seeing this, Kuroro was slightly surprised. "As expected of a top genius, he activated Armament Haki so quickly."
"Am I now Kuroro-sensei?"
"But that's all for now..."
99
Kuroro slowly raised his hand, about to deliver the final blow to Ace.
"Just like that, become my prisoner."
Just then, Kuroro's expression changed, and he raised his arm.
The [Compass of Fate] on her arm clearly conveyed Robin's anxious emotions.
Kuroro frowned in thought.
Logically speaking, apart from Enel, there shouldn't be anything on this sky island that could threaten Robin's team, right?
Judging from the emotions expressed by Uvogin and the other three, Enel is clearly on their side!
Who did Robin and his friends encounter?
and many more..
Kuroro suddenly stared at Ace in front of him, a look of realization dawning on his face.
He should have thought of that sooner...
In the original story, Ace was tracking Teach during this period.
Since Ace is here, then... the Blackbeard Pirates are very likely also on this sky island!
As he pondered this, a door appeared in front of Kuroro, and he instantly stepped into it and disappeared.
Machi and the others are no match for the Black Organization; they need to hurry!
