"Thief hahahahaha, I just saw a very interesting guy!"

Blackbeard returned to the harbor and laughed at his crew.

Lafayette kicked his legs habitually.

"Where is that straw hat boy? Captain."

The Blackbeard's goal this trip is to defeat Luffy with a bounty of 100 million Berry to increase his popularity.

"Straw hat boy, I forgot to find a thief hahaha."

Blackbeard smiled at herself, not taking this matter to heart at all.

"It's really a problem for you to be so careless."

Lafayette complained, swaying his crutch and playing with a knife.

"It seems someone is coming..."

Lafayette suddenly became alert and a figure walked out from behind a house not far away.

"Tic, I finally found you."

Ace walked out slowly, pressed down his hat, his face turned cold and said coldly.

"Thief hahaha, it turns out he is the captain!"

The black beard opened his hand and looked at Ace who was coming towards him, with no fear on his face.

It has been a while since he got the Dark Fruit, and he had originally hidden his strength, so he is not afraid of facing Ace now.

So he continued to provocatively say, "Captain, my name is not Ditch now, my name is Blackbeard now!"

"Thief hahahaha!"

Blackbeard spread his hands, not taking Ace at all.

"You are that [Fire Fist] Ace."

Lafayette said lightly, he had heard Blackbeard mention this former captain a lot.

"Ah, please take care of me."

Ace suppressed his inner anger.

"By the way, you are a great captain now."

"Blackbeard Pirates, Captain Tichi."

"Thief hahaha, it's been a long time since we've seen each other. Why did you know I'm here?"

There was no trace of fear on the black beard's face.

"We should stop talking nonsense now."

Ace rubbed his wrists and was ready for the battle.

"You may not understand what is going on now after living for so many years than others."

Blackbeard suddenly calmed down after hearing this.

"So, let me say the last sentence, Ace, do you want to be my partner?"

Blackbeard threw an olive branch to Ace for the last time. In his opinion, Ace, who is much smaller than him, is definitely a subordinate worthy of cultivation.

"Seize this world with me, I have planned the road!"

Blackbeard said sincerely.

"The era of Whitebeard is over, and I will be the one Piece!"

Regardless of whether Ace agreed or not, Blackbeard was ready to tell his plan.

"Shut up Tichi..."

Ace had a gloomy face, and the flames were burning in his hands.

"People like you don't understand the meaning of family!"

"It's impossible for me to be your partner."

Ace said slowly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge rock fell from the sky and smashed it hard towards him.

"Hahahaha, if you don't want to be the captain's subordinate, then go and die!"

Badges rushed towards Ace, holding a dagger in his hand, and slashed hard at Ace's neck.

"It seems that there is an irrespectful guy."

A ball of flame bloomed, like a giant hand shattering and lifting the attacking rock. Badgers approached and the dagger pierced through the air.

Ace did not dodge at all, and the dagger successfully cut a large mouthful of his neck, but there was no trace of blood at the wound, only a faint flame radiated.

Ace hit Bajace's abdomen with a backhand, and flames roared.

"Fire Fist!"

The surging flames exploded and formed a huge fist of flames, pushing Badgers toward Blackbeard and others!

"Bages, don't attack that guy without authorization. You are not his opponent yet!"

Blackbeard shouted, and the next second of the howling fire fist instantly swept all of them. The tail flame shattered the room behind him. Blackbeard could not escape the sudden attack and was knocked away by the Fire Fist.

"Ah! Hot!"

Blackbeard fell to the ground, with flames burning on his body, and kept calling.

Lafayette flashed and quickly appeared beside him.

"How is the Captain!"

"Damn it, it's so hot!"

Blackbeard shouted.

Ace narrowed his eyes and walked slowly towards Blackbeard.

But soon he remembered what Yas said to him: As long as he has the chance, just use the ability of flame to kill him, don't get close to him!

Ace pressed down on the idea of ​​checking nearby, and the flames ignited again.

"Divine Fire·Not Knowing Fire."

His arms quickly turned into flames, and the terrifying temperature twisted the surrounding air slightly, and his hands turned into two rivers of flames and rushed towards the Blackbeard and his group.

Feeling the getting closer and closer, Blackbeard no longer dared to delay and waved his hand away from several subordinates who were beside him who were helping him put out the fire.

"Get out of here, I'm so annoying!"

Blackbeard's teeth were closed tightly, and a black ball suddenly appeared in his hand. The powerful suction force was produced from it. The spiral ripples surged, like a black hole, sucking all the oncoming flames into it!

Only one Mars was left floating outside.

“Ho…ho….”

The black beard bent over and gasped.

While his physical particularity brought him convenience, it also brought him some side effects.

That is, his sensitivity to any harm is much better than that of ordinary people

"You must want to kill me, Ace."

Blackbeard said calmly as he watched Ace slowly walked out of the flames.

"It's no wonder, after all, killing a partner is a felony."

"But I can't do anything about it, who told him to discover the devil fruit I want!"

"I remember all the fruits on the Devil Fruit Picture Book. According to the rules on the ship, whoever discovers the fruit first has the right to eat it. That is the fruit I have always dreamed of!"

Blackbeard continued to chatter.

"Speaking of this, I have been on the Whitebeard's boat for so many years because I have the highest chance of getting this fruit there. If I'm not lucky, it's fine, but that fruit fell into the hands of my friend."

"So you killed Saqi and took away the fruit, right?"

Ace tilted his head slightly and interrupted Blackbeard's words.

Blackbeard stood up straight, and his eyes gradually became fierce.

"This is just a chance, Ace, this ability chose me!"

"Thief hahahaha, now I'm the strongest person!"

Blackbeard smiled enthusiastically.

"Look, this fruit is an alien even in the natural system!"

Blackbeard opened his palms, and the power of darkness was released on him, and a black mist suddenly surged out, as he spread his arms.

The black mist surged, forming a black tornado hovering over his head, emitting an ominous aura.
