One Piece: Rise of an Empire

"Deuce, do you think the captain will beat this woman?"

"What are you talking about, our captain is very strong."

On the uninhabited island, Xiner took out her weapon behind her back, a fine iron bastard, which used to be Desi's weapon, but Xiner liked it very much, so Desi, who was controlled by his daughter, gave his old buddy directly to Xiner.

Seeing Xiner take out the weapon, Ace also took out the dagger he boasted on his waist.

The battle was about to start, and Xin'er took the lead in attacking, after all, she was still hungry.

"bump!"

The two weapons collided, and sparks were produced. Xin'er was also a little surprised that they were able to match her own strength.

Ace suddenly pushed hard, and the two separated.

"Yang Yan!"

Ace's arm turned into flames and rushed towards Xin'er. Xin'er opened her eyes and quickly dodged Ace's attack.

"Ability user?" Xin'er stood up again and said to Ace.

"Yeah, I'm an ability user who ate the Shao Shao fruit, you have to be careful."

After Ace finished speaking, he jumped up. At this time, he had put away the dagger, and his hands turned into flames.

"Yan Shanggang!"

A wall of flames appeared behind Xin'er, making her unable to retreat at this moment.

"fire punch!"

Ace's arm once again turned into a powerful flame and rushed towards Xin'er. At this time, Xin'er had no way out, and the huge flame directly engulfed Xin'er.

"Hey, Captain, you are a little too violent, after all, the other party is a beautiful woman." Deus said to Ace standing on the side of the boat.

"No, she is very strong, the flame should not have defeated her."

Ace is also knowledgeable now, she clearly sensed that Xin'er's breath has not disappeared, but has become stronger.

"bump!"

A wolf-like paw rushed out of the encirclement of the flames, and with a roar, the flames were all blown away, and everyone in Ace was also affected by the vibration caused by the roar, and forcibly stabilized their bodies.

At this time, the whole picture of the giant beast has been revealed. Its head is similar to that of a sheep, but it is more domineering, and its claws are like a wolf, but it is more powerful.Colorful clouds exude from its body, and at this time, khaki-colored clouds cover its paws.

It slapped its paws against the ground, and the ground shook again. At this time, the giant beast jumped up, and the clouds covering its paws changed colors, covered with golden clouds, and rushed towards Ace.

A scratch appeared on Ace's chest, and he was thrown away by the giant beast.

Ace got up quickly, because the giant beast attacked again, this time Ace dodged the attack and rolled twice on the ground to see the belly of the giant beast.

"Shen Huo, I don't know fire!"

The two flames directly hit the giant beast's abdomen, and the giant beast roared and attacked Ace. Ace had prepared defenses in advance, but he was still knocked into the air, and the two distanced themselves.

Afterwards, the giant beast gradually became weaker and weaker. After a while, it was about the same height as Xin'er itself, but it did not look like a human. It retained the appearance of a giant beast. The human-beast form, the strongest form of the animal-type devil fruit, was displayed.

Xin'er continued to pick up the fine iron rod, and said to Ace: "You are very strong, but you are not my opponent yet."

Ace smiled and said, "What a strange ability, you also ate a devil fruit?"

Xin'er thought, this guy also told her the name of his devil fruit, so he also said: "Yes, I ate animal-type devil fruit, phantom beast species, and unicorn fruit."

Qilin is a mythical beast in legends, which is why Linlin said that this devil fruit was amazing.

Moreover, it is recognized in this world that the devil fruit of phantom beast species is rarer than natural ones.

Ace nodded, and the flame in his hand exploded again.

"Mirror Fire!"

Seeing the raging fire rushing towards her, Xin'er didn't panic. The water blue cloud light was sucked into her mouth, and the flame hit, Xin'er spit out a large amount of water from her mouth, and the two forces canceled each other out.

"The devil fruit of the phantom beast has such strange abilities. Could it be that these powers come from the fog behind her?" Ace said in a voice that only he could hear.

Ace noticed that there was a colorful mist surrounding Xiner's back. The previous attacks and the water flow were directly related to the fog behind her. He guessed that Xiner's ability should come from here.

"Then let's see if we can attack her back." Ace turned on elementalization, and started turning around Xin'er, looking for Xin'er's flaws.

Des once told Xin'er that elementalization is invincible in front of people without arrogance, but in front of people with armed and knowledgeable arrogance, elementalization just makes it easier to hit him.

On Xin'er's fine iron rod, the weapon color is covered, and the golden mist and earthy yellow mist are also naturally entwined on it.Quickly ran in front of the flame, and gave a heavy blow directly to the flame.

Ace was directly hit by Xiner for a few meters. He knelt on the ground, spitting out blood, and looked at Xiner solemnly. This was the strongest enemy he had encountered since sailing.

But Ace didn't think he would lose, he wanted to challenge the man who is now at the top, how could he be defeated here.

Afterwards, the two continued to confront each other, and Xin'er, who had the upper hand, was also shocked by how this guy would fight more and more fiercely. She, who had the upper hand, was now only on par with Ace.

"fire punch!"

Ace's flame successfully hit her back, and the colorful mist that had gathered was scattered by the flame.

"Damn it, he actually discovered the flaw." Xin'er stood up and said, looking at Ace who was out of breath.

Qilin has the power of the five elements, but this power does not exist in her own body, but is hidden in the spiritual mist produced by herself. The five colors of spiritual mist represent the power of five attributes.

Xin'er's speed of creating spiritual mist is not very fast now, so her spiritual mist being dispersed means that she can't use the power of the five elements in a short period of time.

Although the power of the five elements is lost, the physical strength of the phantom beast devil fruit is also very strong, plus the qi and domineering that Xiner has been training, her fighting power is still not weak today.

The two didn't stop, and continued to fight. The two fought fiercely for a day and a night. The fighting between the two had completely destroyed the original environment of the island.

The originally densely forested island turned into a deserted island after being baptized by flames.

Xin'er was lying on the ground panting, and Ace also sat down, both of them suddenly burst into laughter.

An evenly matched opponent is the rarest thing to come by.

Especially Xin'er, who has been living in Daxia. As a princess, no one will fight her with all her strength, and she will never enjoy this kind of hearty battle.

And Ace satisfies her. She has challenged many people in Daxia, and she has challenged almost all the masters of Daxia, but those people treat her like a child and will not deal with her with all their strength. This is the same as an insult to her.

As for why she knew that those people let go, it was because she had challenged Qier before, and Qier did not release the water in that battle. Xiner, who had used all her strength, was defeated by Qier in three moves, covered with wounds. Xiner felt that if it was a life-and-death battle, Qier could kill her in the second move.

She also heard that after Kiel beat her, her dad had a fight with Kiel on the grounds of coaching, and Kiel was carried out.

For this matter, Uncle Levi drank wine at her house for a month, and every time my father apologized and said that he had hit hard.

That's why Xin'er never finds anyone to challenge her anymore, which is one of the reasons why she grew up.

"Hahahaha, it was a great fight, do you want to join our Spade Pirates?"

Seeing that she was sitting beside her at this time, Xin'er also endured the pain and sat up and said: "I don't want to join your little Spade Pirates. I want to defeat the strongest person in the world and become the strongest!"

Ace didn't seem to hear Xiner's refusal, and continued: "Then I will give you the position of deputy captain. After all, you can't beat me in the pirate group."

Xin'er looked angry, what's the matter with this guy, didn't you hear that I refused?
"I didn't agree to join you, and I didn't lose to you, but I fought you before I was full."

"Why don't you join us, my goal is also the apex man, and follow us to give you meat."

At this time, Ace waved his hands to his crew, and after a while, the food was brought up.

"Eat something first, I know you are hungry too."

Xin'er was a little embarrassed, and took a look at Ace. After all, this battle really couldn't be counted as her victory, and the other party gave her something to eat.

But Xin'er was not polite, picked up a piece of meat and ate it, and asked Ace: "You want to challenge the world's strongest man?"

Ace took a sip of his drink and said, "Yeah, I'm going to go beyond that apex."

"Are you kidding me? Do you know how strong the Four Emperors are? Not to mention the strongest Whitebeard."

"Hahahaha, what about you? Didn't you also say that you want to be the strongest? And we are also very strong."

The two continued to chat for a while, and Xiner was also infected by Ace's self-confidence, and the strength of the high-level people in Daxia was also forgotten by Xiner.
