Naruto, the strongest Uchiha from signing in.

"No, I am no match for the Four Emperors now, at least not the strongest one. I am here just to express my gratitude to you. Thank you for saving my brother, Luffy."

The cowboy hat was taken off and Ace bowed slightly. The red-head in front of the campfire looked up with surprise in his eyes.

"Luffy? Are you Luffy's brother? Is he okay?"

"Very good. That was the case before I went to sea. Two years after I went to sea, he would probably also go to sea and leave Windmill Village."

It was not until this moment that Shanks completely let down his guard and laughed while hugging Ben Beckman.

"Brothers, guests have arrived, and we have to have a party now!"

"Oh ho!!!"

“Ahhhhhhhhh…”

"I'm going to eat to my heart's content this time!"

In a blink of an eye, the Red Hair Pirates' banquet was held again. Ace, who was at a loss, was directly pulled to his side by Shanks and raised his glass to drink.

In a trance, Ace finally realized who his brother learned his style from.

"Boy, you are quite amazing. You have made a name for yourself on the sea within less than a year. That's quite impressive!"

"No, compared to the most powerful being in this ocean, I am still far behind..."

To the red-haired man's surprise, Ace shook his head slowly, recalling the horrific battle when he left Wano Country, and the eyes that saw them off at the last moment.

"You are so modest, but excessive modesty can turn into pride. Even though you are the older brother, your personality is totally different from that of your younger brother!"

"It is precisely because I have an ignorant younger brother that I, as an older brother, can't help but have a headache, hahahaha..."

There was a burst of laughter in the cave. Ben Beckman looked at the captain who was grinning foolishly with a helpless look on his face and couldn't help shaking his head slightly.

"Where are you going next? Most so-called pirates are out to make a name for themselves on the sea, or to look for the legendary Raftel..."

At this moment, Ace's eyes sparkled and burned with a raging fighting spirit.

"Now that we've seen the strongest creatures on land, sea and air, as well as that mysterious guy, of course we have to go see Big Mom and the strongest man in the world..."

"I am a pirate!"

Suddenly, a smile flashed in the red-haired man's eyes. He felt that the child next to him looked quite familiar, as if he had seen him before.

"You are going to challenge Whitebeard. That stubborn old man is not someone you can easily mess with. But if you want to do it, just go for it. You are still young and have unlimited talent..."

After a night, the Spade Pirates who stayed at the port set sail again. After watching Ace leave, Lachi Lu turned around and asked.

"Hey, Shanks, is it really okay to let this kid challenge Whitebeard?"

"No problem, Whitebeard won't let him go. This guy doesn't look like a short-lived kid. He is a natural ability user. According to Whitebeard's personality, he will probably tie him up on the ship and treat him as his son. Hahaha!"

There was a hint of cunning in the hearty laughter. Many cadres of the Red Hair Pirates turned their heads and looked at the captain in front of them, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"What a cunning fellow, Captain! You have too little confidence in Ace!"

"But, after all, the opponent is a being that has been active since before the Great Pirate Era. The Captain would probably find it difficult to face Whitebeard..."

"Tsk tsk tsk, maybe the next time I meet little brother Ace, he will have become the captain of the Four Emperors!"

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

New World, near Fishman Island.

"Young man, I advise you to give up this idea and don't try to challenge the king of this sea!"

"Then, as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, what are you thinking of blocking my way, Sea Knight Jinpei?"

Jinbei, a burly tall man with eyebrows and sideburns like a raging wind, raised his eyebrows and shouted loudly, and the sun symbol on his chest was particularly eye-catching.

In front of Ace, a whale fishman wearing a yukata and wooden clogs took a stance, blocking the members of the Spade Pirates.

"To repay you! I will never let you get in front of Whitebeard. If you want to fight, fight me to your heart's content, Fire Fist Ace!"

"Captain! Drive him away. It's not like we haven't defeated the Seven Warlords of the Sea before!"

"Go ahead, Captain!"

"You all step aside, I will do it alone..."

Ace lowered his hat brim, turned into fire and flew to the island, his eyes drooping.

"One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Jinbe, is here. He's a whale fishman, and a rash naval battle would inevitably cause damage to the ships, so..."

"Let's fight it out here, Sea Knight! Enjo Tsuna."

A curtain of fire rose up into the sky, completely isolating the scenes inside and outside the island. Jinbei clenched his fists, and the invisible impact really made Ace's pupils shrink.

"Murloc Karate·Akara Sowa Shoken!"

boom! boom! boom!

The invisible impact shattered the fire curtain, and billowing dust and smoke rose into the sky. Feeling the courage from Jinbei that he had never felt from the Lizard King, Ace twitched the corners of his mouth, and fireflies danced.

"Firefly·Fire Spin!"

"Strike the water..."

Chi Chi Chi!

Sparks flew, wisps of steam dissipated, and both men saw seriousness in each other's eyes.

"Sea Knight Jinbei, you are very strong! But if you want to stop me from challenging Whitebeard with just this ability, it is impossible!"

"It is precisely because you are so strong that we must stop you from appearing in front of Whitebeard, Fire Fist Ace!!!"

At this moment, the five-day and five-night willpower competition officially kicked off.

On the other hand, one huge Moby Dick after another was moving slowly forward, and tall figures sitting on huge seats with various maintenance instruments installed around them were snoring loudly.

But it didn't last long as he woke up from his sleep due to pain and subconsciously took a sip of extremely pure liquor.

"Dad, don't drink during treatment..."

Marco shook his head helplessly, sometimes he wanted the mission of taking care of children as a pirate to end like this, but sometimes he hoped that such days would never end.

"Stop talking so much, Marco. I heard that a little guy wants to challenge me recently?"

As soon as he said this, Marco subconsciously glanced at the crowd. Many cadres, both big and small, and captains of each squad were shaking their heads and looking around.

"It seems... there is such a guy, what's wrong?"

"Since someone has challenged me, how can I just sit there and do nothing? I need to let others see that I am not so old that I can't move!"

His voice was full of energy and extraordinary heroism, and the large naginata beside him flashed a cold light, vaguely bearing witness to the glorious days that had been experienced.

"Young men, let's set sail and teach those young brats a lesson!"

Malco held his forehead with his hand. He knew things would turn out like this, and his eyes couldn't help but look into the distance.

"Really? I'll leave everything up to you, Jinbei. Get rid of that brat before my dad gets here..."

"Well, this seems to be a bit difficult, Marco."
