One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

The flames and clouds intertwined, covering the town. In the clouds, Roderick relied on the elementalization and the perception of the clouds to avoid Ace's attacks again and again.

As a user of the Cloud-Cloud Fruit, Roderick was certainly not afraid of Ace's attacks, but the sustainable use of elementalization would also consume his already limited physical strength.

"Mirror Flame"

A large amount of orange flames with a higher temperature than the previous red flames gathered on Ace's right arm, and continued to accelerate the rotation and flow. When the flames accumulated to a certain extent, a punch was thrown, and the flames turned into a high wall of flames as smooth as a mirror, pushing towards Roderick.

Looking at the wall of fire that was as big as several houses, Roderick did not dodge this time.

"Skylark"

Put your hands together, like a gun, pointing forward, a large amount of white clouds overflowed from your fingertips, interweaving into a huge skylark, and the body was further compressed until it became the same size as the wall of fire.

Although the skylark became smaller, its power did not weaken.

The two behemoths collided, and this time Roderick's attack did not collapse at the touch of a button.

"Nature is invincible, you'd better let me go as soon as possible, so that we don't waste each other's time."

"Frog in the well, who gave you the confidence!"

Just when Roderick was complacent, a figure suddenly appeared behind him.

"Iron Dragon Star Crusher"

The voice in his ear startled Roderick, but after a moment, out of confidence in the Yunyun Fruit, he ignored the attack behind him.

The silver-white water pipe was waving, and the black Armament Color covered it. Sabo floated in the air, leaning forward, and his two arms were bulging with veins, holding the black water pipe high.

The hardness of the Armament Color, the huge strength of the arms, and the super high movement speed, the three combined into one, and the explosion sounded, and this blow hit Roderick's back hard.

Feeling the hard object on his back, Roderick showed an incredible expression, and his Yunyun Fruit was actually hit in the body.

"Crack!"

Before thinking too much, the piercing pain spread to the brain, and Sabo's blow directly broke his spine.

"Uh!!!"

Unlike other places, the pain caused by a broken spine is far greater than other places.

Sabo continued to exert his strength amidst the creepy screams.

His body bent in the opposite direction, and Roderick flew to the other end of the town like a meteor.

Ace was not dissatisfied with Sabo's sudden joining of the battle, since he did not have the Armament Haki anyway.

The two brothers looked at each other, disappeared at the same time, and chased Roderick.

Port of Kachis Island.

Luffy, who flew to the enemy pirate ship on a cannonball, released his nature to his heart's content without Ace's suppression.

In the surprised expressions of Nice's soldiers, Luffy, who turned into "Tarzan", shuttled among the pirates, with a slap on the left and a big dick on the right, making the pirates doubt their lives.

Kachis Town.

Natsu, who was moving forward aimlessly, stopped at the door of a tavern.

Even if he sensed the battle behind him, he had no interest in helping.

"It seems that annoying dog is dead," Natsu found that Moore's breath disappeared as soon as he opened the door of the tavern.

Walking into the tavern, in the boss's terrified eyes, Natsu filled the wine jug, threw down a few 10,000-yuan Baileys and walked out.

On the street, Natsu, who had just walked out, saw Roderick flying from a distance and smashing the ground in front of him into a spider web.

"Roderick?" Natsu raised his eyebrows and looked at the man on the ground.

Although Roderick was not very strong, at least few people could defeat him with the natural devil fruit. Many of his strong men who were not weak in the Grand Line could not do anything to him because of the natural elementalization.

"It seems that I have met a strong man this time," after drinking a sip of wine and thinking again and again, Natsu still carried Roderick, who was like a dead fish, forward and muttered: You save my life, I save your life, and we will never owe each other anything from now on. "

Just as he moved his feet and had not walked out, two figures, one red and one blue, appeared in front of Natsu.

The three did not speak, standing on the street and confronting each other.

"Why save him! "

Ace didn't think of Natsu as a kind-hearted person passing by. His observation color strongly warned him of the strength of the playboy in front of him.

This might be the strongest outsider he had met in these years.

"No reason, just repaying his kindness!" Natsu said casually.

"You have repaid the kindness, but who will be responsible for the ordinary people on this island who died tragically because of him, those bullied girls, and those soldiers who died to protect this island?"

Ace pointed at Roderick who was unconscious on Natsu's shoulder and said angrily.

Ace has always been gentle. After years of being taught by his sister, this gentleness is no longer limited to relatives.

Tilting his head back and taking a sip of strong liquor, the clear water slid down his chin. Natsu thought of his own experience and sneered, "Responsible, what responsibility, their death can only be blamed on their own bad luck, isn't this the world? Everyone's fate has long been determined. "

Wipe the wine off his lips and short beard, shake his hands vigorously, put away the wine gourd, and stare at Ace indifferently, "Don't put on a compassionate look here, there are countless unlucky people in this world, how many of them can you care about. "

"Stop complaining about yourself! A person's life is never determined by some shitty fate. What really determines their life is their attitude towards the world. "

"Two people with very different personalities will never have the same life. Don't impose your misfortunes on others."

The thoughtful Ace could see the problem of the Ronin in front of him at a glance.

"It seems you don't agree with me taking him away!"

Throwing Roderick to the ground, Natsu took off the scarlet sword hanging from his waist.

"You can leave, but he can't!" Ace gave his answer without hesitation.

"Then there's nothing to talk about!"

Without further words, Natsu directly pulled out a bloody long sword from the scarlet scabbard, and at the same time, the smell of blood hit his face.

"Ace!" Sabo frowned and reminded his brother softly.

With the tacit understanding cultivated since childhood, Ace knew what Sabo wanted to say and interrupted directly: "Leave it to me!"

"Be careful!" Sabo said this and stepped aside.

"Fire Fist!"

The blazing white flames surged out like a flaming beast heading towards Natsu.

Thanks to eating the Shashao Fruit very early and having An's guidance, Ace's development of the fruit and flame temperature purification at this time were no weaker than the original.

"Well done!"

With an angry shout, Natsu threw away the robe covering his upper body, revealing his upper body covered with various scars, the most special of which was a long and narrow scar diagonally slashing down from his left shoulder.

"One-sword style·straight thrust"

There was no dodge or fancy operation. The blood-red sword belt was filled with blood. Natsu held the sword in both hands and let the flames burn him. The sword stabbed Ace straight.

"Fighting for life, this is how Natsu fights."
