Pirates: The Fake Marines in the Straw Hat Pirates

On the deck, Ace's entire body turned into jelly and became translucent.

Seeing this, Luffy curiously stretched out his finger and poked the elastic Ace, saying with a smile,"Ace, why do I feel like you look delicious?"..."

Ace:....

Sabo also walked up and touched Ace's body

"It’s so cool and comfortable. I feel like it would be great to hold you while sleeping in the summer!"

"Hello....Sabo, your thoughts are dangerous!"

After saying this, Ace immediately changed back from his slime form.

Although Ace and Sabo have a good relationship, it is also a brotherly relationship, not a gay relationship........

Ace, who had returned to his original form, sighed and said,"This fruit feels so useless!"

At this moment, Ike patted Ace on the shoulder and said,"You are wrong. Slime is a very magical thing!"

"Actually, it is said to be a superhuman type, but I feel that your slime fruit is more like a mythical beast type!"

Hearing this, Ace shrugged and said helplessly,"No matter what type it is, it is useless without combat power!"

"Whether the slime has the fighting power depends on how you develop it!"

At this point, Ike continued to remind him,"Try to integrate the flame of your Flame-Flame Fruit into your slime body."

Ace nodded and began to try to integrate the flame into the slime's body.

Soon Ace turned into a slime again, but this time his body turned a little red.

"this..."

Ace felt the changes in his body with an incredible look on his face.

Ace could feel that his body actually possessed the attribute of fire, and he felt that fire could not harm him anymore.

Seeing Ace turned into a fire slime, Ike smiled, and then said to Nami,"Nami, launch an attribute magic attack on Ace!"

Although Nami didn't know what Ike was going to do, she still obediently condensed a fireball, a water ball, and a lightning ball.

The fireball was instantly absorbed by Ace when it hit the surface of his body, and the water ball burst into steam. Maybe because the ability came from the devil fruit, the water was not absorbed, but...It was still evaporated by the temperature of Ace's body.

As for the last lightning ball, Ace also absorbed it, but after absorbing it, Ace closed his eyes and remained motionless for several minutes.

When Ace opened his eyes again, a snake-like electric light appeared on Ace's body.

"really....The lightning was also absorbed and transformed into his own power!"

Now Ace is the absolute nemesis of the natural fruit ability user. As long as any natural system attacks him, he can absorb it and become immune to the attacks of the natural fruit ability user.....

Ace also discovered the magic and bugs of the Slime Fruit......

Next, Ike began to tell Ace about his understanding of the Slime Fruit and the direction of its development.

Ace listened very carefully, and the more he listened, the more he felt that the Slime Fruit had great potential......

After Ike told Ace everything he could think of, he patted him on the shoulder and said,"Develop the Slime Fruit! It's definitely much better than the Flame-Flame Fruit that even dogs won't eat!"

When Ace heard about the Flame-Flame Fruit that even dogs won't eat, he was speechless....

"I said Ike....The Flame-Flame Fruit is a nature fruit after all...."

Hearing Ace's words, Ike shrugged and said,"Then let me ask you, what is the ability of the Flame-Flame Fruit?"

Ace answered decisively,"Of course it's fire!"

"Then let me ask you again, are there many people on the Grand Line who can use fire to fight without the Flame-Flame Fruit?"

Ike's words immediately left Ace somewhat powerless to refute.

Although there are only a few people who can use fire in the original work,.....Ace, who has been in the New World for a long time, knows many strong people who can manipulate or use fire.

When it comes to playing with fire, Ace feels that he is really not as good as those people.

Seeing Ace silent, Ike continued,"And...Without a catalyst, the temperature of a flame has an upper limit! No matter how much you develop it, you can only make the flame bigger and deformed, but you can't make its temperature continue to rise!"

After listening to Ike's words, Ace suddenly felt that his Flame-Flame Fruit was really lame....

"well..."After sighing, Ace handed the tiger charm back to Ike.

"You can take the Tiger Talisman first! After all, you still need to adapt to the power of the two fruits....It's not too late to return it to me once you've gotten used to it."

"But you have to be careful not to accidentally break it apart by using too much force...."

Hearing what Ike said, Ace nodded and said,"Don't worry, I won't break the spell!"

"I'm not afraid that you'll break it,...If you break the tiger talisman, you will be cracked!"

Although I don't know what cracking means...But Ace nodded solemnly to show that he would be careful........

Ace went to study how to develop the Slime Fruit, and the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates returned to their daily routine until a new island appeared in front of them.

"Is this Lulujia Island?"

After hearing what Ike said, Weiwei asked curiously,"Ike, do you know this island?"

""Yeah!" Ike nodded."I think this will be a good adventure!".....

The Golden Merry soon stopped at the port of Lulujia Island.

Just as everyone got off the ship, a soldier in armor came over.

"Hey! In our Lulujia Island, if you dock your ship, you have to pay port tax."

The soldier carrying the spear didn't speak in a very arrogant tone, with a sense of official business. It was obvious that collecting taxes was normal on this island.

Hearing that money was charged for just docking the ship, Nami, who loved money like her life, was immediately dissatisfied.

"I said...Do we have to pay for just stopping the boat?"

The soldier shrugged and said,"I don't want to charge money! But this is the rule set by the mayor. If you don't pay, I can only arrest you for illegally entering the island!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the soldier clenched the spear on his shoulder.

At this moment, a voice of"Eat, eat, eat!"...A shout rang out, and then Luffy jumped off the boat and ran towards the island."

Seeing someone rushing towards him, the soldier was about to raise his gun to warn, but was knocked away by Luffy.

"Hello...Idiot Luffy, don't eat too much! Leave a way for the residents on the island to live!"

Just after Luffy rushed out, Ike also rushed out.

After passing the soldier who wanted to get up, Ike's Sharingan turned and knocked him out directly.

This island is currently ruled by a pirate.

Pirates are greedy. Being the mayor of an island, they naturally cannot rob at will, but...He found a way to make money more convenient than plundering, which was to collect taxes.

Having a child required tax, eating required tax, buying things required tax, and even walking on the street required tax.....

There are endless reasons for paying taxes, which makes the residents of the island suffer.
