Simultaneous traversal: All Abyss difficulty.

Chapter 167: The Flame-Flame Fruit? Even dogs won’t eat it!
Fang Yu was not very surprised that Fire Fist Ace could appear in the Sabaody Archipelago.

When he was escaping from prison, he heard a new prisoner who had been in prison for just a year mention that a supernova had recently appeared in the ocean and had killed an old Seven Warlords of the Sea right after his debut.

At this time, the World Government still did not know Ace's background.

The fact that Ace can be active in the Sabaody Archipelago must mean that he is negotiating with the World Government on the conditions for becoming a Shichibukai.

Or you could take advantage of the buff now and cross the Calm Belt from the Red Earth Continent to the New World.

The atmosphere in the noisy restaurant suddenly became tense.

When the pirates who ate the free meal heard Ace introduce himself, they were stunned at first, and a trace of barely perceptible fear flashed across their faces, but in the blink of an eye, they looked at each other and burst into shrill laughter.

One of them, with a face full of flesh and a hideous scar on his left eye, grinned and deliberately raised his voice to make it spread to every corner of the hotel: "Humph, this brat looks young, but he might have taken advantage of the previous Shichibukai's carelessness and made some sneak attacks to get so famous! If we can take him down, we will be famous, and maybe we can even replace him and become the new Shichibukai!"

These words, full of greed and arrogance, are like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

The eyes of the other pirates who were watching the fun in the hotel suddenly lit up, just like hungry wolves seeing a fat lamb, and they all started to have ideas.

In an instant, the loose crowd quickly surrounded Ace, tables and chairs were knocked to one side and the cups and plates fell to the ground with a clanking sound. The originally spacious aisle was completely blocked, and Ace was trapped in the middle.

You know, which pirate who could set foot on the land of Sabaody Archipelago had not experienced countless storms and fought his way out of the bloody storm on the sea?
None of them are good guys, and their eyes reveal the fierceness of being experienced in the battlefield.

Although Ace had already made a great reputation shortly after going to sea, at this moment, facing this overwhelming mass of enemies like wolves and tigers, even though he was extremely brave, beads of sweat could not help oozing out of his forehead, and the back of his clothes was slightly soaked.

But the innate stubbornness and pride in Ace's bones was like a burning flame that never went out for a moment.

He tilted his head slightly, raised his chin at an unruly angle, and shouted at the group of guys around him who had bad intentions: "If you really want to fight, then go out and fight one-on-one. Don't destroy other people's stores here!"

However, how could these pirates let go of this "opportunity to become famous" and give Ace a chance to fight fairly?

They had already made up their minds to win a quick victory in a group fight, and their tacit understanding was evident when their eyes met.

Just as Ace turned sideways to look for an opportunity to break out, a pirate who had been hiding behind him, thin but vicious, seized this fleeting opportunity, with a fierce light flashing in his eyes, and suddenly drew a knife from behind!

The blade flashed a cold light under the dim light, carrying with it a fierce murderous intent. With a "whoosh", it slashed fiercely towards Ace's back!
"Hmph!" Ace snorted coldly as if he had eyes behind his head, and his aura suddenly changed.

The next second, he clenched his right fist, and a surging flame instantly surged out of his palm. The flame seemed to have life, jumping and rolling wildly, and in an instant it gathered into a roaring pillar of fire.

The pillar of fire, with its high temperature that could burn everything and its momentum that could destroy everything, rushed straight towards the sneak attacking pirates with a "boom" sound, like a cannonball fired from hell.

The pirate didn't even have time to scream before he was engulfed by the pillar of fire. Like a kite with its string cut, he was blown up into the sky! Ace's eyes widened as he shouted, "Fire Fist!"

Ace's "fire fist" exploded among the pirates like a blockbuster bomb. The scorching heat and violent impact force instantly burned the surrounding air, making it sizzle.

The pirate who was washed into the sky screamed miserably in the air, his clothes turned to ashes in an instant, his hair was also singed, and he flew across the sky like a bird on fire, and fell heavily to the ground in the distance, his life or death unknown.

This earth-shattering and soul-stirring move caused the surrounding pirates to fall into panic for a short time. However, the greed and ferocity in their eyes did not dissipate. Instead, it aroused a stronger fighting spirit.

Those who can go out to sea as pirates are not good people!

So, after a brief pause, the pirates shouted again, waving a variety of weapons, and rushed towards Ace from all directions.

Ace's eyes brightened, and his feet seemed to be rooted in the ground, spreading them apart firmly and taking a solid horse stance.

Then, he swung his left arm violently, and his arm instantly turned into a blazing flame. The flame whistled and twisted, and a thick column of fire shot out from his palm like a fountain. It was one of his special skills - Yangyan.

This pillar of fire was like an indestructible flame shield. Wherever it went, the air was burned and waves of heat appeared.

The moment the pirates' swords touched the pillar of fire, they were melted into molten iron by the high temperature and fell down with a "tick-tick" sound.

Some pirates who attempted to use the power of their fruits to launch a sneak attack launched strange energy attacks, but their attacks were burned by Yangyan and turned into wisps of green smoke and dissipated into the air.

But the pirates were numerous and powerful, and they launched crazy attacks wave after wave, leaving Ace no chance to breathe.

Ace quickly changed his moves while blocking the attacks.

He put the index and middle fingers of both hands together, like two sharp pistols, pointing straight at his opponent.

Ace shouted, "Rifle!"

A series of small flames like bullets shot towards the enemy with a "whoosh". This was the musket skill. The power of each small flame was like that of a real pistol shot. It hit the pirates and exploded instantly, burning their skin and flesh and causing them to wail continuously!
Under Ace's strenuous resistance, five pirates fell one after another, some rolled on the ground covering their wounds burned by fire, and some fainted directly.

"Brothers! Go! He can't have endless energy! Go get him! Go get him!"

The pirates continued to shout frantically.

Suddenly, a voice came!
"It's nothing for a majority to bully a minority."

The pressure seemed to be tangible, making it hard for everyone present to breathe!

A pirate who had just raised his sword high, ready to strike Ace with a knife, suddenly felt as if his body was being pressed down by a mountain. His legs went soft and with a "pop", he fell straight to the ground, his eyes wide open, his face full of fear, but he couldn't move at all.

The pirates looked around in horror, trying to find the source of the pressure. At this time, Fang Yu was the only one standing quietly on the street.

He had an upright posture and stern eyes, like an insurmountable iceberg.

When the pirates saw Fang Yu's face clearly, they were stunned at first, and then their faces turned red with excitement, like a group of hungry wolves seeing a lone fat sheep!
Pirates don't usually go to class.

One of the few things they had to remember was to read the bounty.

This is to avoid not being able to recognize some masters when you meet them and getting humiliated.

At this moment, even if some of them did not recognize Fang Yu, they still remembered this genius pirate who had just become famous after hearing the retellings from their fellow pirates!

"Hahaha, isn't this the 14-year-old boy with a million bounty and a blank experience—Yuma!"

A pirate yelled at the top of his lungs, "It's a bit difficult to take down Ace, but taking care of this guy is as easy as taking care of your wife! Take him down!"

After saying that, they immediately sent out about half of their pirates to rush towards Fang Yu!

"Mental abnormal." Fang Yu commented on these crazy pirates.

The leading pirate had a face full of flesh, and held a giant mace tightly in his hand, raising it high. The spikes on the mace flashed a cold light in the sunlight. He opened his bloodshot eyes wide, as if he was going to smash Fang Yu into a meat paste in the next second.

However, facing this aggressive crowd, Fang Yu remained calm and looked extremely stern, without any fear at all.

Are you kidding? Who have he ever faced?

Scorpion of the Red Sand, Hokuto of the Akatsuki, Magellan, Shiryu of the Rain.
Just this bunch of stinky sweet potatoes and rotten bird eggs?
He was even too lazy to make seals.

Just when the pirates were about to rush to him, Fang Yu took a deep breath, and his whole body shook violently. Then, a layer of black light as deep as the night sky, as if it had life, quickly spread from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. In the blink of an eye, it covered his entire body tightly.

The black light was not static, but like boiling black magma, it slowly flowed and surged, exuding a terrifying sense of oppression - it was the Armament Haki, and it was a powerful Armament Haki that had been cultivated to the intermediate level and could perfectly attach to the entire body!

This scene made those aggressive pirates feel like they were struck by lightning. Their forward steps came to an abrupt halt, and the excitement and greed on their faces were instantly replaced by astonishment.

They looked at each other, their eyes full of fear and regret, and at the same time, a voice rang out in their hearts: Oh no! We underestimated you!
In this world where pirates are rampant, bounty is an important criterion for measuring a pirate's strength.

The pirates are well aware that if they obtain a high bounty by relying on the power of the fruit, there is a certain element of luck, or it may be due to the powerful characteristics of the fruit itself. Such pirates may have weaknesses and can be taken advantage of.

But Fang Yu in front of him, at a young age, had a bounty of 300 million, but what he showed was not the power of the fruit, but the solid middle-level armed color domineering tempered through countless life-and-death battles.
What does this mean? This means that he must be a tough guy who has been fighting in cruel battles since he was a child, and has fought bloody battles all the way! Every bit of his strength is accumulated with blood, sweat and pain, without any water. How can those who are lucky and want to pick up the leaks easily shake him!

After a brief moment of shock, the pirates began to retreat and were ready to attack Ace.

Fang Yu didn't have the patience to continue wasting time with these pirates. Just when the stalemate continued, a cold light flashed in his eyes and he suddenly exerted force with his feet!

With a "whoosh" sound, he disappeared from the spot in an instant like a flash of lightning!
This is exactly the "Shave" among the Six Styles of the Navy!
In the blink of an eye, Fang Yu appeared among the pirates like a ghost. In his hand, he was tightly holding a strange, 20-centimeter-long feather. On the feather, the deep and abyss-like armed color domineering aura was entwined and flowing!
His figure was as fast as lightning as he shuttled between the pirates. Every time he waved his feathers, it brought up a black light and shadow. His seemingly light movements were accompanied by many screams!

"Puchi——" "Puchi——", one after another creepy muffled sounds rang out. Wherever the feathers passed, bloody holes were instantly created on the pirates' chests, arms, and backs, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

The pirates opened their eyes wide with fear, and before they could even scream, they collapsed to the ground, twitching in pain.

With the three-magatama Sharingan and his own observation Haki, Fang Yu seemed to have eyes at the back of his head. He could predict every danger in advance and avoid the pirates' crazy counterattacks by a hair's breadth each time, making fun of them without any chance of fighting back.

On the other side, Ace also completely controlled the battlefield.

His whole body was surrounded by flames, and the powerful force of the Flame-Flame Fruit was pushed to the extreme by him.

As his hands danced, huge waves of fire roared out and swept towards the surrounding pirates in a fan shape. Wherever they went, tables, chairs and benches were instantly reduced to ashes. The pirates were burned to the point of screaming and howling like ghosts and wolves, and fled in all directions, with their formation shattered to pieces.

However, such a large-scale attack, although powerful, was inevitably extremely exhausting, and the efficiency of clearing the enemy was far lower than that of Fang Yu's side.

Fang Yu was like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, quickly harvesting enemies among the pirates. His movements were so fast that they could not be seen clearly, and his efficiency was astonishingly high.

Before long, the pirates around him were lying on the ground in a mess, unable to resist.

Fang Yu turned around and landed steadily to the side, glancing coldly at the remaining pirates who were still resisting. A powerful pressure emanated from him, like a materialized rope, tightly binding the necks of these pirates.

"Pay your money!" Fang Yu's voice was low, but it echoed in everyone's ears like a loud bell, leaving no room for doubt.

The pirates were so frightened that their legs went weak. They tremblingly took out Bailey from their arms and threw it on the ground, with pleading looks on their faces.

"Just throw it on the ground!?"

Red dots suddenly appeared in Fang Yu's eyes! The terrifying domineering aura was only slightly leaked, and these pirates couldn't stand it. They looked like eunuchs who were about to feel the Nine Clans Elimination Game. They quickly picked up Bailey on the ground, half-knelt, and held it to Fang Yu.
At this moment, Ace was just breathing heavily, supporting his knees with his hands, and stopped his attack.
He looked at the mess on the ground, then at Fang Yu, who was calm and collected, taking money from the fallen pirates one by one, his eyes full of surprise and admiration.

Although these pirates tried their best, they couldn't touch his body.
Ace said: "Hello, thank you for your help."

"You're welcome." Fang Yu remained calm and continued, "They are paying for their lives, so you have to pay protection money. If you don't accept it, you don't have to pay."

Ace suddenly laughed heartily, "I never thought that I would be robbed one day. Well, OK! Go to my boat and I'll give it to you."
