Naruto, the strongest Uchiha from signing in.

Hanafza, the Lizard King, has been acting as an arms dealer for Kaido, the King of Beasts, for many years.

But all along, even Kaido and his three disasters were unaware that part of the materials for studying bloodline factors were intercepted by Hanafza to pursue his own ambitions.

Hanafza, who was obsessed with ancient species, especially ancient lizard species, actually figured out something by relying on the remains of ancient Lizard Fruit species he obtained and some research data leaked by Vegapunk.

He even regarded this research result as the capital for conquering the world and overthrowing the world government.

A huge black iron meteorite fell from the sky, and Ace, whose body was spread out like a flame, flew into the air, with beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

"Oh? You're a kid from the outer sea, but you were able to dodge this move. You're taking advantage of the devil fruit, after all, it's a natural type..."

"But, in front of me who has transformed into the ancient lizard king, your struggle is meaningless!"

"fire punch!"

call!call!call!

The raging fire wave came again, but was blocked by Hanafza, who was wearing the Haki of Armament and wielding the chain hammer with great force.

"It's useless, useless, useless, useless! How long can you last in the sky, little devil!"

Purple-black mist emanated from the mouth of the hideous lizard. Whenever it touched the remains of the lizard underground, the poisonous mist became more and more intense.

In the blink of an eye, the entire island was completely shrouded in poisonous fog. Only the members of the Spade Pirates who managed to escape from the island and the surviving islanders stayed away from the coast and were safe and sound.

"Captain, if we really can't get any better, we should retreat immediately. We are no match for that monster and we can't defeat it!"

"Humph, you want to escape? Now that you know my plan, don't even think about escaping from here!"

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

The corpses of Hanafza's men who had failed to transform into lizards were thrown by him like boulders and directly towards the pirate ship in the distance.

"Hey, Hanafza, what are you doing to my lovely crew? Your opponent now is me! Mirror Flame!"

The metal all over his body was surrounded by flames, and a towering wall of fire rose into the sky, burning the man-made "poison gas bomb" that wanted to attack directly in the distance.

"Boy, although the natural system can dominate in Paradise, this is a new world. Your elementalization is meaningless in front of me..."

"As for you, how much physical strength do you have left to maintain the elemental transformation? With your ability, maybe I can recreate the fire lizards living in the red earth continent, hahahaha!"

As he spoke, Hanafza, who had already regarded Ace as a trophy, laughed out loud. After seeing the Spade Pirates' ship gradually disappearing into the distance, Ace lowered his eyes.

"Indeed, my physical strength is not enough to sustain a protracted battle. Then the outcome will be decided in one move. Are you ready to face your death? Lizard King..."

"Just try it if you can, kid!"

With thick light-colored hair scattered wildly, Hanafza swung the sickle in his hand into a full moon, with wisps of poisonous gas wrapped around the sickle.

"Lizard Poison Scythe!"

The chain stretched madly, constantly changing its attack trajectory as the fingers moved, and its target was always locked on Ace in the sky.

"Don't try to dodge, you can't dodge!"

"Who would hide? Since I can't stand on an island full of poisonous gas, I will burn all the poisonous gas into ashes. How can I lose here before my brother goes out to sea? Yan Jie·Yan Di!"

Spiral flames shot up into the sky, keeping pace with the dark sun shrouded in poisonous gas in the sky.

"Let the Flame Emperor turn to ashes, Lizard King."

A bright sun descended from the sky, and the exploding flames burned everything and filled the entire field.

In a distant laboratory, countless flammable and explosive raw materials were mixed into the flames, and the secondary explosion splashed countless flames, causing the already blazing fire to not dissipate for a long time.

The flames faded, and billowing heat waves filled the air. Standing in the sea of ​​fire, Ace lightly dusted his cowboy hat.

"I don't care if you want to conquer the world or not, but my brother and I have made a pact to stand tall among the strongest pirates and meet again. I can't let you stand in my way."

"Captain! Captain! The captain won, the captain defeated the Seven Warlords of the Sea!"

At this moment, Hanafza, who was lying on the ground, opened his eyes, and madness flashed in his golden vertical pupils.

"Little brat... don't be complacent, Kaido the Beast, the real monster will not let you go, because... you have completely destroyed half of his sales. The Four Emperors... the majesty of the Four Emperors cannot be insulted!"

"Oh, the Four Emperors? In other words, if I can defeat the Four Emperors, I can stand at the top of this world, right?"

At this moment, Hanafza's smile was strange, even a little instigative.

"Go ahead and give it a try if you're brave enough, kid. Kaido the King of Beasts is in Wano Country. As long as you can defeat him, you can become the emperor of the sea, provided you can do it..."

Blah blah blah!

The sickle was like a hook, and Hanafza sneered as he jumped into the sea with all his strength.

"I'll wait for you in hell, Fire Fist Ace."

Watching Hanafza jumping into the sea, Ace looked solemn.

"I will defeat Kaido myself and make him go to hell to see you, Lizard King."

"Captain, Captain, are you okay?"

"Ah, let's set off immediately, our destination is Wano Country, and we're going to challenge the Four Emperors next, brothers!"

The Spade Pirates crew: "Eeheeeheeeh!!!"

...............................

Time goes back to the present, inside the Admiral's office.

"Fire Fist, Portgas D. Ace, another guy with a D in his name, who defeated Hanafza, saving us a lot of effort."

Zhan Guo muttered softly, his eyes subconsciously glancing at Garp who was pretending to sleep with his face covered by a newspaper beside him.

"Fortunately, this guy's name is not Monkey D. Ace, otherwise I would have thought it was your credit again, Garp..."

The expression hidden under the newspaper was slightly awkward. Strictly speaking, he had actually taught Ace for a period of time and even treated him like his own grandson.

"Marshal Sengoku, the question now is what to do with the next selection of Shichibukai? Should we submit an application to them?"

An obvious look of embarrassment appeared on Huoshaoshan's face, and he had to change the subject as quickly as possible to the selection of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"D, then follow the usual practice and submit your application to Portgas D. Ace. If he refuses, then the existing bounty will be increased by 100 million berries."

After finalizing the matter, Huoshaoshan left quickly. Before he left, a hurried figure rushed into the office.

"Master Marshal Sengoku, something terrible has happened. All the surveillance equipment that CP9 has placed on Uchiha Kagetsu's ship has failed, and we have completely lost our ability to determine the other party's position!"

"What did you say!"
