Chapter 184
Chapter 184
On the island, hundreds of Whitebeard Pirates, led by Ace and Thatch, proceeded carefully.
Perhaps everyone didn’t understand Ace’s order before they reached the beach.
Looking at the beach, there are black traces everywhere. There are bloodstains on the beach that have not disappeared and bullets glowing with golden-yellow rays of light…everything shows that the battle has just happened here.
Although the Marines cleaned the battlefield after the battle, they only cleaned up the corpses. No one took a problem removing the traces on the ground, saying that everyone was exhausted.
Strolling across the beach, looking at the traces of the battle on the ground, Thatch said: “From the traces on the beach, it seems that there were a lot of people in this battle, at least thousands of people.”
“En!” Ace scanned the marks under his eyes and asked puzzledly: “Apart from us, is there anyone else who has hatred with these pirates?”
Thatch shook his head, “I don’t know. No matter what, I think our mission will fail again.” Suddenly, Thatch’s conversation turned, and he said with a heavy tone: “If it is a fight between pirates, this is nothing. I’m more afraid we will run into the Marines if it is so…”
“Looking at the traces on the beach, the battle hasn’t been over for long. Those people should be there and find them. Anyway, this is the task that the old man gave us, and it is related to the prestige of our Whitebeard Pirates. We can’t fail.”
Ace, like Luffy, is a person who doesn’t like to go straight to the subject. He hates to use his brain the most, and he doesn’t even bother to think. He speeds up and moves towards the sand dune.
“Hey, Ace, I think…”
Thatch wanted to stop Ace, but he thought it was better to be careful. If it were Marine, it would be a little troublesome. But Ace had already gone far, where he could hear Thatch’s words, but in desperation, Thatch had to lead the others to follow.
Ace walked the sand dunes first but stayed there all the time, motionless.
When Thatch saw the situation behind him, a trace of puzzlement appeared on his face. He hurriedly speeded up his pace, climbed up the sand dune, and then stood there with a motionless expression on his face.
At the entrance is the hurried forest of Yumu. Still, only above, several huge cracks divide the whole forest into several pieces on the ground.
Due to the backflow of seawater, these cracks are filled with seawater, which looks like a gurgling stream. But many broken branches and leaves are floating in the stream, and by the side of the stream, many big trees are lying on it, half of the thick rhizomes are exposed.
Some cracks lead directly to the sand dunes under their feet, all of which show that powerful forces cause these cracks, and the ground could not bear them.
The pirates who followed behind screamed in shock, with a hint of fear in their tone: “How could it be that the whole island was actually split…?”
Thatch watched this scene and said in surprise: “Who is it that has such a battle strength, who almost broke the whole island into a few pieces? Is it the rest of the Four Emperors?”
“I don’t know if it’s the Four Emperors, but the silhouette is there. You can see if you look at it.”
Ace stared closely at the forest in front of him. Through the gap between the trees, he could see that the entire forest had been almost flattened and replaced by a clearing.
A pile of fire could be seen faintly burning in the open space, and there was a figure standing beside it, hands kept moving.
After speaking, Ace stepped directly, with a calm expression on his face, and moved towards there. Thatch also found the silhouette and quickly followed Ace, reminding him from behind.
“Hey, Ace, be careful. That person must have destroyed this small island, and his battle strength is clearly very strong. Now I don’t know if it is a friend or an enemy, but it is better to be careful.”
Ace slightly nodded, but his steps did not slow down but became a little bit faster. He passed through those trees instantly and came to the flat ground where countless big trees were crushed in the middle. Thatch followed closely, and those pirates behind also hurriedly followed.
Seeing behind the silhouette, the white Marine justice cloak, Thatch suddenly felt a swelling in his heart. The worst conjecture in his heart was realized. He didn’t expect that it would really be a marine.
Instinctively, Thatch was going to hold Ace because sometimes he likes to mess around. But currently, the Marine is on the opposite side.
And judging from the situation on this island, this Marine battle strength is very strong. Although they could only see his back, and his identity is not clear. For a Marine with such battle strength, the number of marines can be counted on one’s fingers.
Thatch thought about this but didn’t notice that Ace smiled with joy.
Suddenly, the Marine threw something at them, and Ace reached out to catch it accurately. Immediately, there was a smell, and it turned out that this was a delicious barbecue.
Thatch hurriedly said in a low voice, “Ace wait, we’d better take a look first…”
Ace did not hesitate, took a bite, chewed. A delicious and memorable smile appeared on his face, and he finished the barbecue in a few bites.
Another piece of barbecue flew over. Ace did not bite immediately this time but laughed.
“Four years, since that time, I’ve never eaten such a delicious barbecue! Lin Tian! Your barbecue is still so delicious.”
“Hahaha…”
There was also a burst of laughter. Lin Tian turned around, looked at Ace, and said happily: “Of course! Ace, it has been four years, and we finally met again on the Grand Line.”
“Yes, it’s been four years.” Ace sighed.
“What!”
There was a scream of exclamation, whether it was pirates who happened to arrive or the Marines who were hiding in the dark. They were all stunned by this sentence.
‘This man is actually the Captain Fire Fist Ace of Whitebeard’s second division?’
‘The new star who had rejected the Maritment many times, and Vice Admiral Lin Tian and Fire Fist Ace know each other?’
‘Killing God Lin Tian, Marine’s strongest genius, and still Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral, this man is actually here.’
‘Captain Ace and Marine’s strongest genius Lin Tian are friends?’
Except for Lin Tian and Ace, everyone was shocked. It was because this short conversation revealed a big secret that would surely shock the world enough to make the entire New World shaken.
In addition to the shock, everyone is still curious about how Vice Admiral Lin Tian met Fire Fist Ace. From their conversation, they met four years ago. How old were they at that time?
The exclamation has revealed the location of the Marine. Since many Marines have been discovered, they have emerged directly from all directions, enclosing all pirates.
As a member of Whitebeard Pirates, everyone is an elite member of pirates. After being shocked, they immediately reacted, took up their weapons, confronted the Marines, and faced the Marine of many people without any panic.
But Lin Tian and Ace saw this scene, but they didn’t have much attention, just looked at each other like this, and finally, Lin Tian spoke first.
“Four years is really a long time. Ace, you’ve changed a lot, and I almost can’t recognize you.”
Looking at the changes in Heaven and Earth turning upside down in the same four years. Lin Tian exclaimed.
Compared with the past, Ace has not only changed a lot in appearance but also in clothing.
An orange cowboy hat with two badges of “smile” and “sad” on the brim. There is also a skull and crossbones brand, a red bead necklace on the neck, and his signature shorts, with a dagger on his left waist.
Back in Windmill Village, Ace was like a brat who liked to make trouble, but now he has the imposing manner and mature mind that a powerhouse should have.
But the relationship between Lin Tian and Ace, and Luffy is better than brothers. Even if they haven’t seen each other for many years and changed a lot, the relationship between the two is still there, and as long as they meet, they can feel the deep bond between them.
Ace echoed: “Yes! Not only me, Lin Tian, you’ve also changed a lot, compared with the years before, we have all changed a lot, but your barbecue is still the same as before.”
Lin Tian, corner of the mouth raised, said with a smile: “Obviously, it is more than okay. My barbecue skills are improving.”
“Really?” Ace said in disbelief, “Why do I feel that your skills are a little weaker? Is it because you are too busy after becoming a Vice Admiral to exercise your skills”
Lin Tian disagreed at the time, “How is it possible, you don’t know, am I the kind of person who can sit in the office and deal with documents? Compared to the office, I still like fighting on the sea.”
“Fight! Fight!…” Ace muttered in a low voice. In this case, these two words have different meanings for the two of them.
“Lin Tian! Do you know what I want to say?” Ace shouted.
“Of course, I understand.”
“Lin Tian! Remember when we parted. Did I say what two things I would do when I arrived at the Grand Line?”
Lin Tian laughed loudly and replied: “Of course, I remember. The first thing is to become the Pirate King, and the second thing is to beat me!”
Hearing this, Ace calmed down instead, staring at Lin Tian closely, his eyes flashing thick fighting intent, and he spoke. “Since I entered the Grand Line, I’ve heard your legend from time to time. You were promoted to Captain in two years and the blood of countless pirates in your hands. You were called the ‘Killing God’. During the Sabaody Archipelago incident, you fought against Dark King Rayleigh and did not let down the wind… In the Grand Line, countless pirates will be very scared when talking about your name. Today, you, known as the Marine’s strongest genius, dare not agree to the challenge of this pirate?”
“Why not! I’ve always remembered our duel. Since the first day of entering the Grand Line again two years ago, I’ve been following your information. Still, unfortunately, we have passed by many times.” Lin Tian’s imposing manner is not weak at all.
Lin Tian laughed loudly.
Their eyes were also fixed on each other; the eyes full of fighting intent on both sides collided in the sky, flashing one after another spark.
This is an imposing manner of confrontation. The two have not yet clashed, but the invincible imposing manner of the two sides has already started the confrontation.
At the moment of the confrontation, many Marines and pirates fell in one piece.
“Conqueror’s Haki! This is a collision between the Conqueror’s Haki.”
