"My other self, how could you do this? You must have seen that General Kizaru wasn't using his full power earlier, right?"
As the flames engulfed Kizaru, the kindhearted Ace tried to reason with his other self. "Why fight? Why don't we just run away?"
Under his mask, the evilhearted Ace's expression was one of disdain. He ignored his kindhearted counterpart, his focus locked on the spot where Kizaru had vanished. He knew the Fire Dragon Emperor's flame he'd just unleashed hadn't done much damage.
And he was right. From the heart of the inferno, particles of light began to converge, slowly forming Kizaru's familiar shape. The Admiral's yellow-striped suit, however, was now singed and tattered, leaving him looking a little worse for wear.
"Brother Ace, you really gave me a fright just now!" Kizaru quipped.
The evilhearted Ace, a man of few words, didn't give Kizaru a chance to continue his taunts. He blurred into an afterimage, charging forward once more, creating a clone of himself made of fire and smoke as he went.
While the evilhearted Ace was in a ferocious battle, the kindhearted Ace could only watch from below, praying that no one would die.
The evilhearted Ace fought without a shred of mercy. The full, unified Ace was powerful but always held back. The evilhearted Ace, however, had no such reservations. His only goal was to kill his enemy. As a result, he completely overwhelmed Kizaru.
Kizaru was at a disadvantage not just because of the evilhearted Ace's merciless assault, but also because the kindhearted Ace was watching from below. He still didn't understand the situation with the two Aces and had to keep a part of his mind focused on the kindhearted Ace. He knew a surprise attack from him would be a disaster.
"Aokiji, Aokiji, where are you?" Kizaru muttered, desperately wishing his fellow Admiral would appear.
Suddenly, a massive explosion erupted from a Marine warship in the distance. Kizaru glanced over and saw Ace's clone, standing on the sea, mercilessly targeting the Marine soldiers who had been thrown overboard. As soon as a soldier was hit by the clone's fire fist, they'd sink beneath the waves, their bodies completely incinerated.
As for Blackbeard, Laffitte had carried him into the air. He couldn't believe how ruthless Ace was. In his memory, Ace, despite his hot-headed and impulsive nature, was never this cruel. He always left an escape for others. That's why Blackbeard had always considered him naive.
"Hahahaha... is this the real you, Ace?!" Blackbeard laughed wildly, then told Laffitte, "Get me out of here. Ace... he's too dangerous!"
Meanwhile, when Kizaru saw the clone attacking his men, he grew furious. Despite his lazy nature, he had his limits. If so many of his subordinates were killed, his year-end bonus would be gone for sure, and that guy Akainu would never let him hear the end of it. He tried to rush to their rescue, but the kindhearted Ace moved first.
"Damn... I forgot about the other one!" Kizaru cursed.
What happened next surprised Kizaru even more. The kindhearted Ace didn't attack him, but instead turned on the evilhearted Ace's clone. In a single blow, the kindhearted Ace destroyed the fiery doppelganger.
"My other self, how could you do that? These Marine soldiers are just bystanders!" he yelled. "How will you ever face Grandpa after this?"
Just as the evilhearted Ace was about to punch his counterpart to knock some sense into him, a wave of cold air swept over them. A cold wind blew, and General Aokiji arrived.
Seeing him, Kizaru finally let out a sigh of relief.
"Is Ace really that strong? You look like you've been through a lot," Aokiji said, a frown on his face as he noticed the burn marks on Kizaru's suit.
"Haha... you'll find out after you fight him. He's terrifying!" Kizaru replied.
Seeing Aokiji's arrival, the evilhearted Ace decided it was time to retreat. He flew to his goodhearted self and grabbed him, planning their escape. He had developed his Devil Fruit power enough to fly, so carrying the kindhearted Ace with him was no problem.
Seeing this, Kizaru and Aokiji gave chase using their Moonwalk ability. Kizaru was genuinely pursuing them, while Aokiji was also scanning the area for Blackbeard, hoping for an opportunity to "accidentally" take him out. But Blackbeard and Lafitte were already thousands of meters away, and Aokiji realized that a discreet attack was no longer possible.
"How am I supposed to let Ace go now?" Aokiji thought to himself, frustrated.
Just then, a disagreement broke out between the two Aces flying through the air.
"My other self, please let me go! I'll buy you time while you escape!" the kindhearted Ace pleaded. "After you get away, tell Father Whitebeard not to try to save me! I don't want anyone to die because of me."
The evilhearted Ace was left speechless.
"Idiot! If you die, I'll suffer too!" he retorted. "But if I take you with me, we'll never escape!"
As he spoke, the kindhearted Ace suddenly erupted in a powerful orange-red flame, breaking free from his counterpart's grasp. "I'll buy you time! You go on ahead!" he yelled, rushing toward Kizaru and Aokiji.
The evilhearted Ace initially planned to join the fight, thinking two against two was better than one against two. But after a moment's thought, he gave up the idea. He glanced at Blackbeard and said to himself, "So, you want to be the Pirate King? Then I'll make sure your dream is completely shattered!" With that, the evilhearted Ace flew away.
The kindhearted Ace, now fighting Kizaru and Aokiji, saw his other self fly off. He was then captured without resistance. Despite his powerful fighting ability, his will to fight was incredibly weak.
Kizaru and Aokiji were confused by how easily they had captured him. Nevertheless, they took him into custody.
With their warship destroyed, Aokiji, Kizaru, and the remaining Marines were forced to wait for backup on a nearby desert island. They approached the captured Ace.
"Ace... who was that one who flew away?" Aokiji asked.
With his shackles removed, Ace smiled gently. "That... was my other self. He's very dangerous. You must be careful if you ever meet him again!"
Aokiji and Kizaru stared at each other, utterly bewildered.
But after a detailed explanation from Ace, the two Admirals finally understood. A magical item had split Ace's good and evil sides. They had captured the good, and the evil had escaped. No one knew what the evilhearted Ace would do next.
"What a pain..." Aokiji sighed, scratching his messy hair, then shot a pointed look at Blackbeard.
Blackbeard shuddered under his gaze.
