Pirate's Gas Fruit

Chapter 20 Maude VS Ace Part [-]

Not long after, there was a forest at the foot of a group of light green hills. Maud, whose body was glowing with lavender gas, flew across the forest at high speed, and the shadows passed by like a fleeting shadow very quickly.
Arriving at a clearing in the woods, Maud stopped and turned around to look at Ace, who was chasing after him. His eyes swept away and he couldn't help but be surprised.
The other party is like an elf in the woods. Everywhere is like a foothold for the other party. There is no confusion in the rhythm. He bounces lightly as if he does not need to borrow any power to jump, as if he is more like an animal in the forest.
But when I think about Ace, Sabo, and Luffy growing up in the forest, their spiritual training may have already cultivated themselves to an almost wild intuition, and it makes sense to have super perception.
Ace quickly bounced a few times, held the iron water pipe, jumped into the air, fell and stood in front of Mod.
Ace held the water pipe, looked at Maude's body curiously, and said with a smile, "What's going on with your body? It's like a lavender gas is appearing as if it's about to dissipate!"

"I am a natural gas fruit user. You must have heard of devil fruit users!"

Ace seemed to think of the cute little brother Luffy in Windmill Town when he heard it, and said with a smile,

"Oh, it's really strange to have a Devil Fruit user like Luffy. Apart from Luffy, you are the first Devil Fruit user I've seen. What kind of abilities do natural gas fruit users have?"

Maud felt that Ace's charm was pretty good and explained,
"Devil fruits are divided into superhuman type, animal type, and natural type. The natural type devil fruit ability is a very rare and precious ability, because the person who eats this fruit can ignore physical attacks. In other words, to you now, I am It is an undefeated existence! "

"The three generals of the Navy Headquarters are all natural devil fruit users. Do you understand what I mean?"

Ace's expression froze when he heard about the three admirals of the Navy Headquarters. As the son of Pirate King Gol D. Roger, he would face the Navy Headquarters and the admirals sooner or later.
If the general is a user with natural abilities, now there is a chance to learn about natural devil fruit users.
Ace looked at Maude with a serious expression. This feeling was really strong, but in the blink of an eye he said more confidently,
"A user with natural devil fruit abilities and an undefeated existence. I don't believe there is anyone in this world that I can't defeat. Even if you are now much stronger, you might even be able to defeat me!!"

Maud laughed and said,

"This is only part of my ability. Of course, if you have the ability to let me use all my abilities, you will understand more about the terror of natural ability users!"

Ace nodded, put down his backpack, took off his hat and put it on his backpack under a nearby tree. He needed to go all out to find out the information about natural ability users, because he wanted to become the Pirate King, and it was natural to defeat the Admiral.
Ace walked back a few steps and stood up, looked at Maud and said calmly, "I won't hold back, don't blame me if you die!"

"I can't die, I'm sure of that!" "Okay, let me verify the reason why you are so confident, a natural gas fruit user!"

call out!
Ace, who was holding the iron water pipe, disappeared from sight as soon as he moved. He struck down with a stick from the air and hit Maude directly on the head. Without any hesitation, he saw Maude quickly move towards the sky and block him in front of him.
boom!
The ground trembled, and a shallow crater of several meters appeared at Maud's feet, and a wave of smoke and dust flew in all directions, causing the surrounding woods to sweep in chaos like a strong wind, and the surrounding environment was under the influence of the battle between the two.
"This power is really terrifying!" Mod held the knife and looked at Ace, feeling the power and exclaimed.
You must know that he uses burning gas as power to gain strength, but even so, Ace's power is actually about the same. This strength is simply too terrifying.
Ace missed the target, but quickly changed his moves in mid-air. His right leg and left hand struck Mod's body in a flash. His agility and speed of reaction were extraordinary.
But even so, Mod's extremely fast and light body still allowed Mod to react quickly.
boom!
The two of them were shocked and retreated. Maud, who was holding a long knife, and Ace, who was holding a water pipe, each took a few steps back and stood up again. Ace was still surprised that Maud's increased power had reached such a terrifying level.
"Song of the Wind!"

However, he saw the white-haired Maude flash out of the way, and a storm of blades hit Ace again. Upon seeing this, Ace smiled without retreating and instead went into the water pipe and swept past again.
Crash! After a loud noise, Mod and Ace's weapons were seen colliding together, and the two of them refused to give an inch.
Behind Ace, he saw the wind shadow of the blade flying quickly and hitting the big trees in the distance. With a click, several big trees fell to the ground with a roar. The smoke and dust were thick, and frightened birds were everywhere.
Ace held the water pipe and looked at Maud, but he didn't feel defeated at this moment. Instead, he said more confidently, "I stopped you, but it's not enough for you to defeat me. You are too lacking in actual combat!"

"Your reaction is indeed extraordinary, but I'm not the only one!" Maud said calmly.
The two were once again at a point, but Maud was not distracted at all. He held a knife and fought against the charging Ace. The two men fought fiercely in the woods.
Maude and Ace moved quickly and flashed, and disappeared in place with a sound of collision, and their bodies appeared in mid-air.
As soon as he landed, he quickly chased the opponent away. As a person who has lived and practiced in the woods since childhood, the woods were his home field. With his extreme speed and agility, he wanted to attack Maud unexpectedly.
But the result was beyond his expectation. With every attack, Moder quickly reacted and attacked under the perception of the air.
After the rapid collision and fighting, the two seemed to be fighting equally, but the thick weeds and trees on the ground gradually disappeared and turned into soil, and the big trees continued to fall down one by one.
bump!
After fighting for an unknown amount of time, the forest with a radius of more than ten meters was full of broken branches and leaves, the ground was pitted, and dust was flying everywhere. In the center of the battlefield, Ace was seen holding the iron water pipe and gasping for breath. There is no such thing as a deranged man.
Maude looked at Ace, whose breathing was a little confused, and smiled inwardly. My body is full of air and oxygen.
He can survive for who knows how long without breathing, let alone a fierce battle. This is the horror of natural gas fruit ability users who can covertly lengthen their health bars during battle.
After Ace's breathing calmed down, he said unwillingly,
"Damn it, what's going on with you guy? Your breathing is not chaotic at all. It's impossible with your strength being on par with mine!"

"No, this is your ability. Your ability can control your own breathing!"

In a flash of inspiration, Ace suddenly thought of a lot. He looked at the lavender gas glowing around the edges of his body. If the guy in front of him could control his breathing, he would be a gas fruit capable user.
Ace was still thinking about whether the opponent's ability was related to gas, but he was swept away by Mod and flew into the distance.
"Have you noticed, but Ace, with your terrifying reaction level that is close to awakening Haki, if you weren't subconsciously afraid of natural abilities, you would have hit me long ago!"

"It is precisely because you subconsciously attack from a distance after every attack that I have enough time to react!"

Maude looked at Ace standing quietly holding the iron pipe in the distance, and couldn't help but laugh in her heart. But at the same time, she couldn't help but admire Ace's amazing strength in front of her.
After Ace looked at it carefully, he reflected on his attack and suddenly smiled,

"I know how to defeat you, hahahaha, so do I!"

"Then come here and give it a try!" Maude said with high spirits, opening his left hand secretly, and the air around the woods gradually gathered around his body from all sides, and the increasingly dense gas filled his surroundings.
