Lafitte frowned slightly, and chose to retreat under the power of Ace.

He has no large-scale attack methods, and Ace's fire can cause damage to him, so he doesn't want to fight Ace in close combat.

But if you fight long-rangely, the natural ability of burning fruits can undoubtedly gain the upper hand.

"sharp……"

Many Ace's crew members who were watching not far away looked as if Rhodes was showing great power, and their eyes were filled with excitement.

"The Four Emperors Pirates seem to be nothing special."

"Yes, the captain who made countless people frightened, was also in a very embarrassing way in front of Boss Ace."

Since I had met Red Hair with Ace before and had a banquet with the Red Hair Pirates, everyone had almost no fear of the Four Emperors.

Now, seeing Ace showing off his might and forcing Lafitte to keep avoiding, they all smiled.

However.

Lafitte, who kept avoiding Ace's attack, looked very calm.

He just didn't want to fight with Ace, he was not powerless to resist, nor was he being pushed to a disadvantage.

Whoosh!

After seizing a glimmer of opportunity, Lafite approached Ace and punched her, and her fist instantly attached to the armed and domineering color, dark and hardened.

Ace was not afraid and swung a fire fist towards Lafitte.

boom!

The blazing flames exploded in the field.

Lafitte quickly retreated backwards in the flames, not wanting to be burned to the clothes by the flames.

Ace kept swinging his fist, and the flames churned violently in the sky. With a low shout, he continued to sweep towards Lafitte.

Armed color and domineeringness are also different from strength to strength.

Lafitte's armed color is not strong, he is better at seeing and hearing color. He is somewhat inferior to those with natural devil fruit ability, and is also burned fruit.

"Have you only used physical strength to consume it?"

Lafitte avoided the flames sweeping by Ace, continued to climb over and retreat, shook his head slightly in his heart.

Since his armed attack faces Ace's Fire Fist and is weaker in terms of attack, he can only find opportunities based on his domineering aura of seeing and hearing, or try to consume his physical strength.

However, the physical strength of those with natural devil fruit abilities is very abnormal, or their ability to use is very low, far lower than those with superhuman abilities.

However.

After forcing Lafitte to retreat, Ace did not continue to attack, but instead looked at Lafitte from afar.

"Why, aren't you going to do something?"

He raised his head, with flames burning on his arms, and said, "If you don't think you can win me, you'd better shout out your boss as soon as possible."

When Lafitte heard this, his face darkened, showing a heart-pounding and gloomy expression.

No matter how crazy he said, he could still be a child, but he could not say that he had not heard such words as asking Rhodes to come out.

Can't deal with Fire Fist, call Rhodes out?

joke!

What did you think of him as?

"I can't pretend that I didn't hear it."

A look on Lafitte's face was a ferocious, but evil, heart-wrenching expression.

However.

Just as he was about to take action, he suddenly noticed something and turned his head to look at the sky behind him.

I saw a black shadow breaking through the sky at an extremely fast speed, like a meteor, falling towards the island.

At the same time.

Ace also noticed the appearance of the black shadow, and looked up at the sky, with a strange color flashing in his eyes.

"What is that?"

The many crew members behind him also subconsciously looked into the sky and saw the falling black shadow.

One second...two seconds...three seconds...

The black shadow was getting closer and closer, and when it was about to reach the sky above the town, it disappeared strangely, like a black flash.

"Absent?"

Ace couldn't help but frown as he watched the black shadow disappear from his sight suddenly.

Many other crew members also showed inexplicable expressions. Look at me, and I look at you, but I can't see clearly how the black shadow suddenly disappeared.

And just when they strangely retracted their gaze and looked back in Lafitte's direction, their gazes were all stopped.

Only see.

A figure appeared next to Lafitte at some point.

"I didn't notice it at all..."

Ace looked at the figure, and a trace of solemn alertness appeared in his eyes.

He had no idea how the black shadow appeared!

As everyone's breathing paused slightly and his face changed, Lafitte restrained his previous evil expression and saluted respectfully at the visitor.

"Lord Rhodes."

"I didn't expect you to come here in person."

Rhodes!

There is no need for too many words, just this word makes many Ace's crew members breathe.

The strongest man in the world, the captain of the Ghost Hand Pirates... The Ghost Hand Rhodz!

Although they had all seen Rhodes's bounty order, no one expected that this person, who was called the most dangerous existence in the world, looked no different from that of ordinary people.

This made them think of red hair.

When they were having a banquet with the red-haired crew, they were all suspicious that this guy was really the Four Emperors who ruled the New World?!

Wearing clogs and shorts, with a slapped beard and loose buttons of the shirt, without any image.

If compared with red hair, it seems that Rhodes is still like that, and he can be a little domineering.

"Are you... a ghost hand?"

Looking at Rhodes' figure, Ace spoke with a smile on his face.

Since he went to sea, he had never encountered any defeat along the way. The first half of the great route swept across almost like a destruction.

The world government tried to attract him by using the location of the Seven Warlords Sea, but he directly refused and didn't care at all.

After visiting Red Hair, he had only one goal.

Win the strongest person on this sea!

And now.

He finally came to Rhodes, or Rhodes appeared in front of him!

"That's right."

"Don't you want to see me? I'm here."

Rhodes turned around and faced Ace, looking at him briefly, no difference from what he remembered.

Ace took a breath, and a surging fighting spirit appeared in his eyes, and said:

"The strongest... let's compete!"

"Boss Ace..."

Seeing Ace challenged Rhodes directly, many of his crew members swallowed. Although Rhodes looked no different from ordinary people, his reputation was there!

However, they followed Ace all the way and never saw Ace losing anyone. The senior cadre of the Ghost Hand Pirates and captain Lafitte, who was also completely suppressed by Ace just now.

Maybe...

Ace can defeat Rhodes!

As newcomers who have just entered the new world, they have not truly experienced the power of the new world.

In their eyes, as long as they win against Rhodes, they will reach the peak of this sea.

Although this is true, the real Four Emperors, the real new world, actually only saw the tip of the iceberg.

"It's too early to compete with me."

Rhodz looked at Ace with his hands on his back and said calmly: "You are too anxious."
