Pirates: There is no prohibition of fishing in Marijoa.

"Eh? I ate a devil fruit? Doesn't that make me a landlubber?"

Ace suddenly reacted, and after he finished speaking, he ran towards the sea at a rapid pace.

Without any hesitation, he broke through the waves and dived into the sea with a score of 9.0.

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay. The fire just now was just an illusion! I #...@%￥!" Before he could finish his words, Ace began to sink.

After the two of them dragged Ace back to the shore with great effort, he was resurrected on the spot within a few seconds.

It seemed that the weakness just now was as fake as the smile of some actors, but it was real.

Ace stretched out his fingers and exerted force again, and his fingertips suddenly swayed and turned into a small flame.

"If that happens, I'll become a landlubber. If I fall into the water, I'll be doomed..."

Staring at his fingertips in a trance, his expression was a little serious.

Ace's worries are completely necessary, considering that this is a world where water accounts for a very high proportion of the area.

He was also someone who aspired to be a pirate, but now that he had eaten a devil fruit, he would be hated by the sea and would no longer be able to swim.

After falling into the sea, you won’t even be able to save yourself and will become extremely powerless and weak.

Jerry patted his chest and comforted him at the right time:

"Relax, you are not alone. Don't forget that you have friends. Besides, even if you become a landlubber, you are still the king."

"Haha, that's right!"

Things have come to this point, Ace doesn't want to dwell on it any more.

Deuce, who was standing by, suddenly jumped up, as if a flash of inspiration had occurred to him, and he shouted:

"Ace! Can you control that flame freely?!"

"Eh? I guess so."

Although he didn't understand why, Ace answered affirmatively.

After eating the devil fruit, the ability will be integrated into oneself, and with individual training and development, the ability can be continuously improved.

"Then we...maybe there is a way to leave!"

"Fire is also a form of energy. Yes, we can leave this ant nest hell!"

Deuce said happily, then he took out a piece of paper and a pen from the small bag he had managed to save, and sketched out a design of a ship.

"The flames drive the gears, the gears drive the blades, and the hull gains power that can ignore wind direction and ocean currents!"

Zeus excitedly spoke of his ideas. Before setting out to sea, he was well-read and had some knowledge of ship design drawings.

"Oh, that's good. Next, let's try to make it."

When Jerry saw Deuce's sketch, he already knew it was feasible. After all, this was the boat that Ace was riding when he was surfing around in the original book.

From the next day, Zeus organized his complete ideas and drew the main components of the ship. Then he followed Jerry to collect materials and started the shipbuilding business in a big way.

Ace tried his best to find free time to practice controlling the power of his fruit, which was a crucial part of Deus's plan.

Of course, thanks to the Flame-Flame Fruit, making a fire became very easy, and there was also some food in some boxes among the things that the giant bird spit out before.

Ace's life experience of growing up in the mountains makes many things edible after being grilled by Jerry.

Busy, a few days later.

The [Vanguard], a small foreign sailboat named by Deuce and built by the joint efforts of three people, was finally completed in the sun, carrying the boys' hope of breaking out of the cage.

"Okay! No problem. Let's have a carnival party before sailing! Let's take out all the food here today!" Ace shouted excitedly.

"Haha! I can finally eat a lot of food!" Jerry agreed and stretched out his claws to the food.

"Hey! That's what we prepared for going out to sea! You can't eat it now!" Deus still stopped him rationally.

"Okay...then we can only use this as a substitute, water instead of wine!"

Jerry picked up three bottles containing the fresh water he had collected earlier and handed them to the two of them.

The three of them raised their water bottles, clinked them together, and drank them all in one gulp.

Excited Ace jumped up, jumped onto the stern of the boat, turned around and called out to the two to get on board quickly.

After Jerry and Deuce carried the food and water they had collected into the small cabin, they sat on the left and right in front of Ace.

"Haha! Set sail!"

Ace's feet were burning with flames, bursting backwards to act as a propulsion force, as if injecting soul into the Charge, and the boat began to slowly accelerate forward.

Pointing his finger forward, Jerry shouted excitedly.

"Wuhu! Go!"

"Let's go! If you want to say goodbye, do it quickly!"

"This island that carries our shared memories will soon disappear below the sea level!"

Ace was extremely happy at this time. He increased the output power of the flame under his feet, and the ship rushed away from the coast like an arrow.

"So fast! It's okay, this sea area can't hold us back anymore!"

Just as Deus was about to cheer for his successful escape, he heard a sharp whistle from the sky.

"Wow!"

The three looked up and saw the strange bird that had escaped before reappear.

This time, it's not just one bird fighting! It's bringing along its accomplices to commit a crime together!

Countless giant birds roared continuously. They quickly flew out from the ant nests that were scattered all over the island like black holes, and in an instant it was like dark clouds covering the sun.

"What? How can there be so many?!"

Zeus was panicked. After all, they had just left the shore and had no way to escape!

"Oh my gosh! Is the cafeteria open for dinner?"

Jerry was also a little nervous, but he didn't show any fear. As a fisherman, although he was a rookie, he still had the basic skills of talking tough.

With his fists wrapped in blazing flames, Ace was full of fighting spirit and ready to attack at any time.

"Hey, do you think you can win at sea?"

"Don't be impulsive, Ace. If you fight here and accidentally fall into the sea, it will be a disaster!" Deus tried to persuade Ace.

"Aren't you still here?"

Ace grinned, not seeming to care at all.

Although a strange bird was approaching, he remained extremely calm and extended a formal invitation to the two people beside him.

"It's rare to meet on an isolated island. Jerry once said that this is fate."

"Then you can take my ship from now on! Let's climb to the top together!"

"I'm surprised that I met such a good partner in a place like this. Let's celebrate our voyage!"

Ace first whispered to himself, then gradually became excited.

"Fire Fist!!!" He roared, like a volcano erupting, shaking all directions!

Endless flames burst out, transforming into a red dragon that soared into the sky! Instantly, it swept away the strange birds in the sky!

He seemed to be announcing to the world: "Fire Fist", start!
