"Whoa!"
Twenty or thirty nautical miles away, the sound of air hissing suddenly rang out, and then a gate of light tore open.
Soon, Kai stepped out of it, and as the soul fire in his eyes swirled, Observation Haki rolled back like a tide.
"It should be around here!"
"Found it!"
Kai muttered to himself, then suddenly turned to look further away.
As his gaze landed, a scorching pillar of fire, with an awe-inspiring posture, shot straight into the sky.
The black lead clouds that were pressing down in the sky were rolled back under this strike, and a large hole was forcibly pierced through them.
Witnessing this scene, Kai didn't stop at all. With a sway of his figure and a surge of magic power, he tore open a teleportation gate again and space-jumped to the island in front of him.
Rumble!
The soaring flames shattered the pressing lead clouds and, in the end, dissipated in the surrounding sky.
On the scorched earth with a radius of ten thousand meters, two panting figures stood facing each other, their clothes more or less scorched black.
However, faced with this situation, the two's energy and spirit were clearly raised to the extreme. Their auras locked onto each other, without the slightest bit of relaxation.
"Fire Fist Ace, if you plan to challenge Pops, you still have to get past me first!"
A fish-man with a deep blue complexion and eyebrows like white clouds spoke first.
The youth facing him was none other than the supernova from the East Blue who had risen suddenly this year, the captain of the Spade Pirates, Fire Fist Ace, with a bounty of 400 million Berries.
"Jinbe, although you're a Shichibukai, our Captain Ace is the number one supernova. You can't stop him at all."
The Spade Pirates crew members, who were standing in the distance watching and cheering, shouted one after another.
Watching the scene that had suddenly become lively, Ace, whose face was full of pockmarks, took off the hat on his head, smiled proudly, and said, "Jinbe, I didn't expect to run into you here."
"Whitebeard is called the strongest man, so I'll take his head and let the world know that I, Fire Fist Ace, am the strongest existence."
"Moreover, my subordinates are all outstanding individuals, one in a hundred. Why don't you join my crew and conquer Whitebeard with me!"
The not-so-loud words, as if infused with demonic sounds, echoed in the surrounding sky, unable to dissipate for a long time.
Hearing this, Jinbe's face couldn't help but sink, and he said, Ace, Pops' benevolence isn't something you can understand.
His recruitment is only for the strong, so I hope you can reconsider, otherwise don't blame me for defeating you and taking you back to Pops for him to deal with.
As the words fell, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became more oppressive.
Since they couldn't reach an agreement, there was only one result left.
However, before they could react, a sudden, unexpected voice came from the sky.
"I say, aren't you tired of talking? I'm tired of watching. If you're not going to fight, then I'll fight."
As the people present's faces changed abruptly, before they could raise their heads.
A huge skeleton covered in a black cloak, with a ghastly white bone, descended from the sky.
On the merchant ship transporting Heavenly Tribute, Kai had remotely seen signs of fire in the distance.
That was why he had temporarily abandoned the experiment and ran over to join in the fun.
However, he hadn't expected that he would really guess right. This was the five-day honeymoon battle between Fire Fist Ace and Jinbe from the original story.
"Who are you? How dare you interfere with our captain's duel?"
"Someone, shoot this troublemaker dead!"
A Spade crew member, who seemed to have a high status, looked at Kai, who had appeared seven or eight meters away from them, and shouted first.
In a counter-move, he took out a musket and violently pulled the trigger.
However, this scene, as it fell into Jinbe's eyes, made his pupils suddenly contract, and he shouted urgently, "Stop! He's not someone you can afford to provoke."
Bang bang bang! Gunshots rang out violently.
Dozens of scorching bullets, like a rain of pear blossoms, struck Kai's body.
However, faced with all of this, Kai seemed to be completely unaware.
The enormous staff in his hand was heavily thrust into the ground.
Dang! A crisp bell sound suddenly rang out.
A huge blue magic circle bloomed around Kai's body.
The next moment, before everyone could react, an indescribable aura descended from the sky.
"Super-Tier Magic - Skyfall!"
Rumble!
The violent beam of light, like a comet, swooped down from the sky.
The speed was so fast that people simply couldn't react.
By the time they regained their senses and hurriedly looked up at the sky, it was already too late.
Bang! A thunderous explosion echoed.
The blue beam of light, with Kai as the center, enveloped the entire deserted island.
Rocks shattered, sand and dust swirled, and the air wave that was brought about directly stirred up waves dozens of meters high, sweeping towards the surroundings.
In an instant, this sea was as if it had entered the apocalypse.
"What is the origin of this madman? Why did he launch a sneak attack as soon as he appeared!"
Amidst the explosive air waves, a flame passage was instantly torn open.
Soon, Ace and Jinbe were seen flashing out from within.
As Logia-type Devil Fruit ability users, as long as it wasn't a special attack method, they wouldn't suffer too much damage.
However, before Ace could recover, a cold voice suddenly rang out from the ruins of the explosion.
"Are you misunderstanding something? I was just clearing the field!"
Kai, in his Bone King form, slowly walked out from the explosive air waves that were stirred up.
At the instant he suddenly raised his head, the soul fire that was flickering in his sunken eyes became even more intense, and he said, "If I don't pull some aggro, how can I make you use your full strength!"
Madman!
This thought flashed through Ace and Jinbe's minds.
Using a big move to clear the field!
Severely injuring those subordinates, thereby arousing their hatred.
This undoubtedly exceeded their expectations.
Thinking that those subordinates had been swallowed by the attack before they could even react, Ace roared in uncontrollable anger.
"Good, very good. Then I'll let you see just how terrifying I am when I get serious."
However, before he could attack, Jinbe had already stopped him, saying with a grave face, Don't underestimate him.
If I remember correctly, he should be the Skeletal Demon, with a bounty of 350 million Berries, whom the Marine Headquarters has labeled as the mastermind of the jailbreak in Impel Down a few days ago.
"350 million?" Ace was stunned at first, then a trace of disdain flashed across his face, and he roared angrily.
"Daring to act wildly in front of me with only 350 million, I'll take your head today."
As the words fell, Ace took the lead in attacking.
Without any fancy moves, he punched towards Kai from a distance.
"Fire Fist!"
Rumble! The muffled sound of the air exploding suddenly rang out.
At the instant the scorching flames detonated on his fist, they transformed into a torrent of power that crashed towards Kai head-on.
