Chapter 265 Ace: Give me some face

Under the orange cowboy hat, there is a face with a confident smile, and the freckles under the eyes are quite representative.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the tattoo on the back of the visitor.

That is the symbol of the Four Emperors - Whitebeard!

"Whitebeard Pirates, Captain of the Second Division, [Fire Fist] Ace!"

Zoro looked at this uninvited guest, and a smile slowly bloomed on his face.

"I thought it was just a boring mission, but I didn't expect to meet a guy like you."

Facing the famous [Fire Fist] Ace, Zoro pulled out all three of his swords and posed in a three-sword style.

"What a pleasant surprise!"

"Whitebeard Pirates!?"

"Captain of the Second Division!!"

"[Fire Fist] Ace!?"

If Tyrant was still a little famous in the first half of the Grand Line, then Whitebeard Edward Newgate's reputation was world-famous.

After the death of Pirate King Roger, although he failed to become the new Pirate King, Whitebeard is definitely the most famous pirate in the world, and no one doubts his title of the world's strongest man.

Whether in the Grand Line or in the Four Seas, Whitebeard's reputation is well-known, and his name alone can make children stop crying.

The onlookers at the scene never thought that they could see so many wonderful stories in one day.

"Ace!"

Luffy, who was blown away by Zoro, struggled to stand up, with a deep mark on his face, but looked at Ace not far away with joy.

"Long time no see, Luffy!"

Ace turned his head slightly and waved his hand to greet Luffy.

"But now is not the time to reminisce!"

After saying that, Ace set his eyes on Zoro, with caution written on his face.

Although he had never seen Zoro before, he had heard a lot about his deeds.

Tyrant Fist Rod, Hawkeye Mihawk, Kaido the Beast, and many sword masters in Wano Country.

All of these famous people are the whetstones for the growth of this [Ghost Sword] Roronoa Zoro. Even as a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, he has heard of them.

Although he has not yet held any position in the Rod Pirates, with his strength, he is conservatively a vice-captain.

Facing such a strong enemy, even he cannot take it lightly.

"Three Swords Style·Extreme·Tiger Hunting!"

Zoro took a stance, and swung three swords at the same time. A terrifying shock wave burst out instantly, accompanied by a violent roar, as if to instantly destroy everything in front of him.

"Fire Fist!!"

Ace lowered his waist and punched out with a single fist. The terrifying flames combined into a huge fist. Almost at the moment he swung his fist, the giant fist of fire blasted out and hit Zoro hard.

Boom boom! !

As the two attacks collided, a violent roar sounded in the square. Under the terrifying power, the timid people did not even dare to watch and left in a hurry. Only the Straw Hat Pirates and Kidd Pirates remained at the scene, as well as the members of the Blackbeard Pirates who were secretly spying on the situation.

"I have no intention of conflicting with [Hegemony], but Luffy is my brother, please give me a face and let me take them away."

After the attack, Ace's face became more serious, and he looked at Zoro to negotiate again.

He is the captain of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates, and is also a person who is highly expected by the families of the Whitebeard Pirates. He must not bring trouble to his family because of a momentary impulse.

Although he is reluctant to admit it, everyone understands that the current Whitebeard father is old!

Today, Hegemony Rod is the man standing at the top of the pirate world.

In the battle in Urukum two years ago, the opponent had already demonstrated his strength.

Although it has been a long time since the other party personally took action to fight, after such a long time, the opponent's strength must be even more terrifying!

Not only in terms of individual strength, the overall strength of the Rod Pirates has long surpassed the Whitebeard Pirates, and the thirteen captains are all very strong.

If possible, Ace really doesn't want to conflict with the other party.

Look at this [Ghost Sword] when fighting Luffy before, he held back, there should be room for communication.

"Tsk!"

Zoro put away his weapon, slightly dissatisfied.

Guessed again.

Before he came, he received relevant information. If he met the captain of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates, he might as well give him a face.

Although the cooperation between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Rod Pirates is not too close, in the past two years, the two sides have some tacit understanding in maintaining the stability of the New World.

"Forget it, I'll give it to you."

Taking off the headscarf tied on his head and tying it on his arm again, Zoro was a little disappointed.

I thought this [Fire Fist]'s personality would explode like a ball of fire, making my first mission more exciting, but I didn't expect it to end with just a tentative fight.

"Thank you!"

Seeing Zoro put away his weapon, Ace couldn't help but smile, and also put away his own stance, then turned his head to look at Luffy and the others.

"Luffy, and Luffy's friends, please wait for a moment."

"Before I take you away, there is one more thing to deal with."

Turning his head, the smile on Ace's face disappeared, replaced by a cold expression.

"I've discovered you. I can smell your disgusting scent from a long distance away, Teach!"

"Hahahaha, you are so merciless when you speak, Captain Ace!"

After his whereabouts were revealed, Tiqi walked out of his hiding place, followed by several companions he had recruited, smiling as he walked.

"Captain, please stop talking about it. This title is used by people who know respect. You are not worthy of calling me such a title!"

"Hahahaha, you are so merciless, Ace, I also want to invite you to join me!"

Teach looked at Ace. He was not too angry because of the other person's words, but his eyes were full of eagerness.

"Father Whitebeard is getting old, you know. Especially in the past two years, when the hegemonic Rhodes has become more and more powerful, Dad Whitebeard just gave in blindly, and now he no longer has the courage of the strongest man in the world. !

The Whitebeard Pirates have long ceased to be considered the strongest pirate group. Not to mention compared to the Hegemony, even the Beasts Pirates have experienced rapid expansion in strength in the past two years.

Come with me, Ace! With our strength, we will definitely be able to surpass Father Whitebeard very soon. Even if he is the hegemon, it is not impossible to surpass——"

"Enough!!"

Blackbeard wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Ace's sudden shout.

Ace looked at Tikki with disgust.

"You are really hopeless!"

"Fire Fist!!"

Ace raised his fist, and the terrifying flames rose up on his body, turning into a huge flaming fist, and swung it hard at Teach.

"Ghost Slayer!" Zoro's weapon at his waist was unsheathed, a dark sword flashed by, and Ace's fire fist was cut off instantly.

"[Fire Fist] Ace, I give you face, but that doesn't mean you can ignore the rules we set on Gaya Island."

Zoro stood with a knife in hand and looked at Ace and Blackbeard Teach.

"Gaya Island, any form of fighting is prohibited."

"If anyone violates this, the Rhodes Pirates will be his opponent!"

Ace's expression changed for a while, and finally he lowered his arm and looked at Blackbeard Teach hatefully.

In order to catch the opponent, he chased him all the way from the New World, passing through countless islands along the way, and finally caught the opponent here, but because the opponent was on an island under the control of the hegemon, he could not take action immediately.

"Hahahaha, thief, so majestic, worthy of being the [Hegemony] of the New World!"

Blackbeard laughed and glanced at Ace who was helpless.

"Are you really not considering joining us, Ace! Let's become the Pirate King together and take over the world! I already have a complete plan. As long as I execute it according to my plan, we can soon replace [Hegemony] and become New hegemony!"

Zoro glanced at the ordinary black beard and remembered this guy's arrogance.

"Don't look at me like that, Brother [Ghost Sword], I didn't do anything on this island."

Noticing Sauron's eyes, Blackbeard waved his hands and looked honest and courteous.

Zoro said nothing, but simply grabbed Kidd and Kira, preparing to take them back to Silver Frame City in the new world through the portal.

And with Zoro leaving, things here have finally come to an end.

···

Aboard the Merry.

Because the three main members of the Straw Hat Pirates were all injured just now, they are all now placed on the Merry.

After Chopper's treatment, the three of them were no longer seriously injured. At this time, they were gathering in the restaurant, reviewing what happened before.

"Chopper, do you know that Rhodes?"

When Chopper was finally done, Usopp finally asked the question.

"If they are the same person."

Memories flashed across Chopper's face, remembering the joy he had with Rhodes and the others during that time.

"But why does this so-called Rhodes rarely see news about the other party?"

Nami was a little confused.

She has always had a good habit of reading newspapers. It's hard to say anything else. She still knows a thing or two about the most famous pirates in the world.

The names of the Three Emperors and the Seven Martial Arts were all treasured by her.

However, although he is one of the Seven Warlords under the King, there is very little news about this Rhodes. There is almost no news about him in the newspapers. During the voyage of the Grand Route, there is also very little news about him. .

"That's because the world government controls the flow of information about [Hegemony]."

On the other side, Ace explained.

"In the past two years, you would have seen overwhelming news about [Hegemony]. Oh, by the way, he was still called [Hegemony] at that time."

Thinking of the several confrontations he had with the other party, a trace of complexity flashed across Ace's face.

The two of them went to sea not long ago, so they can be regarded as pirates at the same time.

However, the other party is now regarded as the uncrowned king, but he cannot even protect the family members of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Now, if you want to truly know the news about him, you have to wait until you enter the new world."

"New world?"

Hearing the name from Ace's mouth, Nami's eyes flashed with curiosity.

"The so-called new world refers to the second half of the Grand Line."

Ace briefly explained, and seeing that Luffy and the others were in good condition, he immediately wanted to say goodbye.

The most important goal for him to leave the New World this time is to find Blackbeard and bring him back, or kill him directly.

For a devil fruit, the other party violated the iron rule of the pirate ship - not to kill family members, and as the captain of Blackbeard, he must be responsible for the aftermath of this matter.

"We will talk more when we meet again in the New World, Luffy!"

Ace looked at his grown-up brother. He also had a group of reliable partners and walked on his own path, which made his brother feel very relieved.

"But, I will give you a piece of advice before leaving!"

Ace, who was about to leave, turned his head and looked at Luffy to remind him seriously.

"It is best not to provoke [Hegemony] Rod easily. He is not an enemy you can deal with now.

Once there is a conflict somewhere, their portal technology can arrange personnel for support in the shortest time."

Hearing this, everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates remembered the three-sword swordsman just now.

The other party should be the support personnel.

"Are their supporters all monsters like that?"

The weak trio swallowed their saliva.

They seemed to have provoked Riot Games on the last island.

"That's not the case."

The Straw Hat Pirates breathed a sigh of relief.

"The [Ghost Sword] Roronoa Zoro just now, even in the Lod Pirates, is at least the level of vice-captain."

"Wait, vice-captain?"

Usopp suddenly thought of something and spoke with a slightly trembling voice.

"I want to know how many divisions the Lod Pirates have in total."

"As far as I know, there are thirteen."

Gulp!

The Straw Hat Pirates swallowed their saliva at the same time and looked at each other, all seeing the tension in each other's eyes.

The three-sword style just now suppressed them and the Kidd Pirates by himself.

There are twelve more guys like this in the Lod Pirates?

And above that, there are thirteen stronger captains! ?

What kind of enemies did they provoke!

"In short, try not to conflict with them."

Ace gave a final reminder, then turned around and left, rushing to another port.

Teach and his gang left!

After Ace left, the Straw Hat Pirates looked at each other, then rushed to the deck at the same time, hurriedly hoisting the sails and anchors, preparing to set sail.

They destroyed a Riot Company branch on the last island, and they didn't know if the three-sword swordsman knew about it, but they knew that this was an important base of the other party.

If they don't run now, when will they run!
