Chương 1494: On top of the war (106)

Akainu tried hard not to raise the corners of his mouth, but the contempt that was hard to conceal was still revealed in his eyes and expression. He looked at Ace in a seemingly calm but actually sarcastic tone and spoke slowly.

After hearing these words, Ace did not respond a word, but just took silent steps, approaching Akainu step by step.

As he moved forward, the flames on his body became more and more turbulent, like a lit powder barrel, and the temperature rose steadily. With every step he took, the flames became more violent and ferocious, like a beast out of a cage.

Seeing Ace approaching, Akainu was not afraid at all. Instead, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a disdainful smile, as if he didn't care about Ace's anger at all.

He continued to provoke Ace with harsh words: "Think about it carefully, your so-called 'Fire Fist' Ace, isn't he just a pathetic fellow? You hang out with a bunch of low-ranking little characters all day long, and even let them call that white-bearded old man 'Dad'. It's just a farce of children playing house!"

Akainu sneered and mocked.

"Shut up!"

Ace finally couldn't hold back his anger anymore and shouted angrily. His voice was like the biting cold wind in winter, which made people feel cold.

However, Akainu turned a deaf ear to Ace's scolding and continued as he pleased: "So many years have passed. Even if you have been showing off your might on this sea, what can you do? In the end, you still can't even become the king and dominate the world. You have accomplished nothing! What's even more ridiculous is that in the end you were betrayed by your own son. In order to save a good-for-nothing like you, that stupid old guy actually brought tens of thousands of his men to die in vain.

It is really a hollow, boring and extremely tragic life farce!"

Ace did not pause at all. He clenched his teeth and stared at Akainu. The flames around him danced wildly like a roaring fire dragon, sweeping straight towards Akainu.

"Shut up!"

Ace's eyes widened with anger, veins popped out on his forehead, and he roared again.

These two words seemed to be squeezed out from between teeth, carrying with them endless anger and majesty.

"Ace, don't be fooled, come back soon!"

Marco in the distance was so anxious that his voice became a little hoarse.

His eyes widened, his face full of anxiety, and he wanted to rush over immediately to pull Ace back to safety.

However, Ace seemed not to hear it at this moment. He just lowered his head, his face as gloomy as the sky before a storm.

He clenched his teeth and said nothing, but his clenched fists and slightly trembling body showed that he was suppressing the surging anger in his heart.

"Dad gave us the motivation and courage to live. How can someone like you understand the greatness of Dad?"

Ace raised his head sharply, looked directly at Akainu in front of him, and growled loudly.

As his words rang out, the flames that were originally burning on his body instantly rose again, and the scorching temperature made the surrounding air seem to begin to distort and deform.

"Humph, if a person doesn't follow the right path, he is worthless. You useless pirates are the dregs of society. There is no need for you to continue to exist in this world!"

Akainu smiled coldly and sneered with disdain.

At the same time, he slowly raised his right arm, and in the blink of an eye, the arm turned into rolling magma, emitting a heart-pounding high temperature and terrifying aura.

"Shut up!"

Ace could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. He roared to the sky, and his whole body trembled slightly involuntarily because of extreme anger.

"It's only fitting that Whitebeard died as a loser. An incompetent garbage manager like him is destined to end up with such a tragic ending!"

Akainu completely ignored Ace's scolding and continued chattering on to himself.

"Shut up! Whitebeard is the great pirate who created this era! No one is allowed to insult my father!"

Ace finally couldn't bear it anymore. He suddenly raised his fists, with a determined look in his eyes.

"This era is called—Whitebeard!"

As Ace's roar resounded through the sky, he flashed and rushed towards Akainu like a bolt of lightning, throwing a punch filled with endless grief and power.

At this moment, Akainu swung his right arm without hesitation, and his right fist suddenly punched out with surging power.

At the same time, Ace's eyes widened with anger, and he let out a loud roar, and also attacked with his right fist.

In an instant, two huge fists collided violently in the air, one burning with raging flames and the other flowing with hot magma.

"Humph, whether it's that old fellow Whitebeard or you idiots who are so stupid as to call him dad, they are all losers!"

Akainu stared at Ace, a cruel smile on his face, and sneered coldly.

The boiling magma opened its bloody mouth like a ferocious beast and swallowed the flaming fist without mercy.

The powerful impact force rushed towards Ace like a tidal wave, directly knocking him away.

Ace was in mid-air, hugging his injured right arm tightly, his face distorted by severe pain, and he let out an unbearable howl of pain.

Immediately afterwards, his body fell rapidly like a kite with a broken string, and finally fell heavily on the hard ground, raising a cloud of dust.

With just this one punch, Akainu's terrifying strength made Ace completely lose the power to resist.

At this moment, Ace was lying on the ground, unable to move at all, and there were large and shocking burn marks on his body.

You know, Ace is the user of the Flame-Flame Fruit, but it is really unbelievable that he would be burned to such an extent!

This astonishing scene made the entire Whitebeard Pirates shocked.

They stared with wide eyes at Ace who was lying in front of Akainu, their hearts filled with astonishment and anger.

Akainu looked down at Ace, his eyes full of contempt and disdain: "Do you think you can look down on others just because you have the strongest natural ability of the Devil Fruit? How naive! Your so-called fire is simply vulnerable in front of my magma. My magma can not only burn ordinary flames, even a fire master like you can't compete with it!"

After hearing this, Ace's body began to tremble involuntarily, as if a powerful force was raging in his body, trying to break free and burst out.

However, the pain in his body made it difficult for him to react.
