52: Chapter 52 Luffy vs. Ace! The three brothers reunite!Alabasta, in the desert outside the "Rapeseed Flower" port.
The Straw Hat Adventurers and Ace stood in the yellow sand, and the battle between Luffy and Ace was about to break out.
"Zoro, do you think they will get angry?" Usopp asked.
"No, they are sworn brothers after all, so it's about time to stop!But Luffy wants to wake Ace up, and this battle may not be easy." Zoro said helplessly.
"Ace, is there a water pipe?" Luffy and Ace stood facing each other.
"water pipe?"
"Yes, these are the weapons we used when we were sworn brothers!"
"Do you need it?"
"Um."
Then, Luffy and Ace found a long, thin water pipe nearby.
"Are you ready?Luffy, do you want me to show you a few moves?"
"No need, Ace, I will use my physical skills to make you understand that you rely too much on the power of the fruit, and your physical skills are so poor that it's laughable!"
"Good boy, I will let you experience the feeling of being burned!" Ace said harshly.
"Burned?Didn't the captain walk through the lava before?" Ajin murmured.
"Shh, just see through it but don't say it out loud!" Sanji tried to smooth things over.
Ace's whole body was burning with flames: "Get it!Luffy!Fire gun!" Ace shot countless fire bullets from his fingertips, starting the battle.
"Is this the ability of the [Nature-Type Flame-Flame Fruit]?It's so hot!" Chopper felt so hot that his whole body went limp.He immediately used the power of the Kirin Fruit to dispel the heat.
"Be patient, Chopper.It will be over soon." Nami said.
"Your greeting is really direct, Ace!Then, finger gun·barrage!" Luffy let the armed color domineering flow on his fingers and shot out, blocking all of Ace's divine fire·Shiranui, without burning any corner of his clothes.
"Hmm?Luffy, this doesn't seem to be your fruit ability!"
"Of course not.This is the taijutsu that Grandpa Garp taught us when we were little.It seems you've been lazy since you went out to sea."
Luffy then vanished, and Ace couldn't help but frown, having lost sight of him!Without giving Ace time to think, he quickly summoned flames to surround himself and shouted, "Flame Ring: Fire Pillar!"
Luffy flashed to the upper left of Ace, wrapped his Armament Haki around the water pipe, and chopped it down on his head: "Armament Haki: Tile Splitting!"
With the help of the fire pillar's cover, Ace rolled over to avoid the powerful blow.A muffled sound was heard, and a gully was directly split open in the yellow sand on the ground.
A drop of cold sweat dripped down Ace's forehead: "Hey, Luffy, are you trying to kill me?What is this?"
"A goal without power is just a fantasy, Ace.This is just an attack using Armament Haki wrapped around a water pipe." Luffy walked out of the pillar of fire unscathed and walked towards Ace.
".Armament Haki?Is that what Dad mentioned?" Ace felt a pang of fear.
"Fire Fist!" Ace didn't have time to think and immediately used his famous skills.
"Armed: Sweep the Fallen Leaves!" Luffy held the water pipe horizontally and swept across to disperse the incoming fire fist.The flames scattered and caused violent explosions all around, but Luffy still walked out leisurely.
"Haha, Luffy, you are really amazing.This can't do anything to you at all?" Ace sweated coldly on his head.
"I told you that you can't beat Blackbeard like this!" Luffy said in a deep voice.
Ace was speechless, but he would never give in!His entire body was ablaze with flames, and he attacked Luffy with a water pipe in hand: "Firefly Fire Daruma!"
Luffy didn't retreat a single step.His Armament Haki flowed even more violently over the water pipe, and he struck out with a stick: "Armament·Severance!"
The fierce Armament Haki swept away the raging fire, and a stick hit Ace's chest.The severe pain made Ace fall to the ground: "Still fighting, Ace?"
At this time, Sabo finally arrived late.He saw the raging fire exploding in the sky and rushed here directly.He was dumbfounded when he saw the two people holding water pipes in front of him, and couldn't help feeling déjà vu.
"Hey!Sabo, you're here!I'm Luffy, and the one kneeling on the ground is Ace.It's been a long time since we last met!" Luffy smiled at Sabo.
"Long time no see?Wait, what are you talking about?We haven't met before?Luffy.Ace, why do these two names sound so familiar?" Sabo squatted on the ground, holding the water pipe with his head in his hands."Damn it!My head hurts!"
"Sabo!What's wrong with you?" the woman next to Sabo asked worriedly.
"Huh.Huh, Sabo, I'm Ace!Luffy, you and I are sworn brothers!" Ace finally recovered and spoke.
".Three brothers?The three of us?" Sabo's eyes were blurred, and his companions in the Revolutionary Army were comforting him.
"Don't worry, Sabo.We will meet again eventually.You will remember everything eventually, so there's no need to rush." Luffy said gently.
"You, who are you?Why are you doing this!" asked one of Sabo's companions in the Revolutionary Army.
"We have no ill intentions.Didn't we just say that Sabo and I are three sworn brothers?No matter what he becomes, he is our brother and we will not harm him." Luffy said calmly.
"Okay, Ace, shall we continue?" Luffy turned to Ace and said.
"Of course!The winner hasn't been decided yet!Next, I'm going to give it my all!" Ace struggled to get up and said proudly.
"Then, come on!I will take it all and make you realize that your determination is notHow ridiculous it is when you have the strength!" Luffy held the water pipe horizontally and shouted.
Ace also gripped the hose tightly and used all his strength to ignite the flames: "Look!Luffy!Flame Ring: Entei!"
"That.that scene, that water pipe!It looks so familiar, where have I seen it before?" Sabo said in pain, covering his head.His companions in the Revolutionary Army hurriedly took him and the Straw Hat Adventurers away from the battlefield.
The flames shot up into the sky, and slowly condensed into a statue under Luffy's gaze.Luffy did not dodge, but walked straight towards Ace.The Ryusakura Haki flowed through his body, gradually condensing on the water pipe, and he used the move he had learned in the small garden before:
"Spear of Elbaf: Hegemony!"
Then, a deafening roar echoed, and the raging flames and the incredibly powerful Armament Haki collided and tangled.After a long moment, the flames dissipated, but the Haki remained strong, and Ace collapsed to the sand, gasping for breath.
"You won!Luffy, I'm such a disgrace as your brother!You said I can't beat Blackbeard, you must have your considerations!Tell me, what to do!" Ace said excitedly.
Luffy looked at this scene with mixed feelings, and he didn't know where this changed fate would go.
"Ding - Host, please pay attention.The host has drastically changed the future destiny of important characters, and the world will has intervened!In the original world line, Ace must be captured.If Ace is not captured, the top war will not come.If the top war does not come, the important turning point of this world will disappear!" The system made an anxious voice in the mind.
"So, what should we do?" Luffy asked in his mind.
"In this world line, Ace will still be captured under the interference of the world's will.He will serve as the fuse of the top war!Even if you fully strengthen Ace, the convergence of the world will still make the turning point come!Please prepare yourself, host!"
Is that so?Then let's fight back!This time, I won't let Ace die!
Luffy remembered that Sabo was still there, and went towards Sabo following the sound.
Sabo rolled around in the back, holding his head."Ahhhhhhh!My head hurts, that water pipe!Luffy.Ace!Yes!That's right!That's right!They are my brothers, I finally remembered!I won't forget!I shouldn't forget!"
