Chapter 169 Ace's Death

"I'm sorry!" The scorpion man knelt on his knees. "I tricked you here because I wanted your life." He apologized sincerely.

Ace raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I see. In that case, I'll give you a chance to take my head off!!"

"Huh?" The Scorpion Man raised his head in confusion.

"Let's fight." Ace stood up and slowly backed away.

"Ace. Are you serious?" Luffy glanced at the weak-looking Scorpion Man and asked Ace.

Ace smiled and replied, "Luffy. It's okay. Just playing with him. It looks like this old man is well prepared."

"Asshole! Stop looking down on me! I used to be a famous bounty hunter!" The scorpion man stood up proudly and shouted at Ace.

"Yes, yes." Ace answered casually.

The bounty hunter profession is just so-so. It's okay for one person to support a family, but once you have ties, this profession becomes extremely unstable, even more unstable than a pirate.

It has been at least five years since Scorpion Man quit the ranks of bounty hunters. To put it bluntly, he, who was once able to hunt down pirates with bounties of tens of millions, may not even be able to defeat Nami who had just set out to sea.

"Bastard!" The Scorpion Man pulled out a pistol and rushed to Ace. He pointed the pistol at Ace's head and pulled the trigger frantically.

bang bang bang~

Gunshots rang out across the field.

Ace's body turned into an elemental form, and he stood there, allowing the scorpion man to attack him. He looked outside the city of Juba, where a group of people wearing sand-proof clothing were approaching. Although they were trying their best to conceal their identities, Ace quickly determined that they were navy.

He looked at Sanji and signaled with his eyes. Sanji looked at Ace's eyes and unexpectedly understood the content. He walked aside and whispered to Zoro. Zoro looked at Sanji in shock, then looked at Ace, only to find that Ace nodded.

Sanji and Zoro's abnormal behavior soon attracted Usopp's questioning.

"Sanji. Zoro. What happened to you!?"

"Nothing, nothing." Zoro laughed and quietly handed a knife to Sanji.

Sanji got the knife and called to Luffy, "Luffy. Come and help. We're ready to eat barbecue."

"Ah!" Luffy rushed over with a laugh.

"These guys. Alas." Nami looked at the group of people speechlessly.

Vivi carefully noticed the abnormality of Sanji and Zoro, which happened after Sanji noticed Ace's gaze. She took the initiative to ask to help with cooking.

Duoduo said that they had some food sent by their sons and could donate it. Weiwei said that they didn't need it and they could get it from the King's Army.

Sanji, Luffy, and Vivi went to the King's Army to get food. Halfway through the journey, Sanji pulled Usopp up.

Usopp looked at Sanji in confusion: "Hey. Sanji. You don't need me to help with the cooking. There are so many people in the King's Army."

"Shut up, Usopp. There's something important happening to you." Sanji said seriously with a dark face.

"Hey. Sanji. Don't be so scary." Usopp closed his mouth and followed the three people away.

Watching Luffy leave, Ace turned his gaze towards the Scorpion Man and taunted him, "Uncle, is this all you have? Don't you know that I'm the user of the Flame-Flame Fruit?"

"Asshole, I came prepared, don't underestimate me!" The Scorpion Man threw away the pistol in his hand and stepped back. He began to search among the ruins and rocks.

Ace was in no hurry and just stood there waiting for the Scorpion Man's next attack.

Sauron quietly came to the edge of Juba and watched the navy approaching Juba. When the navy entered Juba, it was stopped by a group of the king's army. The navy was blocked 200 meters outside Juba.

"What's wrong, Zoro. Why are you hiding here?" Nami stood behind Zoro, looking at him and asked in confusion.

"Navy. After the previous navy was knocked out by us, another group of navy came." Zoro covered Nami's mouth and whispered, while keeping an eye on the navy outside the city. They were not far from the navy, after all, this stone pestle was also located outside the city.

"No way." Nami was a little scared.

"Don't worry. They are not here for us. They are here for Luffy's brother, Ace. After all, he is the captain of the second division of the Four Emperors Whitebeard. This deserves the navy's high attention." Zoro was hidden in the navy and saw the white mist hunter from Rogue Town.

"That's good. Then, what are you and Sanji going to do?" Nami then remembered that Sanji and Zoro had been plotting together secretly.

Zoro whispered in Nami's ear: "Fake death. Then quietly send him out of the country."

"Is it feasible?" Nami thought about the feasibility of this plan.

"No matter what, it will at least affect the navy's judgment and buy time for Ace to leave the country." Zoro analyzed rationally.

"That makes sense." Nami looked at Ace and said in approval.

While Ace is fighting Scorpion Man. Boa Hancock's room.

Yun Tianxiang lay on Boya Hancock's knees and did not wake up. Boya Hancock gently stroked Yun Tianxiang's hair with one hand. In the corner of the room, Shacklock was tied to a cross. Sonya put on a rubber glove and used Shacklock as a sandbag.

Dangdang~

There was a knock on the door.

Everyone looked at the door in confusion, and Mary opened it.

"Xiaoba?"

When Rayleigh and Xia Qi saw the person coming, they made sounds of surprise.

"Rayleigh. Xia Qi. I'm here to look for Yun Tianxiang." Xiao Ba greeted them with a smile.

"Huh? Are you going to set sail?" Boa Hancock hugged Yun Tianxiang tightly.

"Set sail? Not yet. Because they didn't see Yun Tianxiang, they sent me to find him." Xiao Ba politely took a glass of fruit drink from Xia Qi.

"That's good. Let's spend the night in the Ruins City and I will host a party for you." Boa Hancock loosened her arms around Yun Tianxiang and stroked his hair even more lovingly.

At the same time, she arranged the itinerary for Xiao Ba and others.

"Okay. Party, party." Xiao Ba danced with joy.

Boa Hancock ordered Mary to make arrangements for the banquet.

At this time, Xiao Ba saw Shacklockdall being beaten, and he asked curiously, "Why is this guy here?"

"Xiao Ba. This guy ambushed me and Sonia. Did he attack you as well?" Rayleigh held a pot of wine in his hand and drank it slowly. A hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Feeling Rayleigh's murderous intent, Shakrokdal's body trembled.

"No. Because Yun Tianxiang came to this country with the purpose of defeating this guy. That's why I know this person." Xiao Ba finished his drink, and Xia Qi handed him another bottle.

"Dear, is your goal to defeat him? Sonia. Don't beat him to death." Boa Hancock immediately stopped Sonia's revenge attack and told her to stop.

"I understand, elder sister." Sonia delivered the last punch.

"But, old woman! How hard did you hit me? Why hasn't my dear woken up yet!!!" Boa Hancock glared at Flame Flower.

Huoyanhua leaned on his cane, his eyes wandering: "I didn't use much strength."

Yun Tianxiang fell asleep peacefully: "Hoo~"

"The little guy must have been tired from climbing the tower with you guys." Xia Qi analyzed the reason, "His body is not as strong as yours. His body has been working at a high load."

"Really?" Boa Hancock didn't quite understand, but she would feel at ease as long as he stayed with her.
