From the beginning of the game of power, I became the protagonist

Having said this, Barrett ignored the increasingly ugly expressions of the pirates around him and strode away.

Chapter 276: Ace Who Doesn't Know His Limits (Please Submit Your Own Customization)

Watching Barrett's figure gradually disappear, Ace clenched his fists again and again, but finally suppressed the urge to attack. He turned to look at Chen Hui who had sat down next to him and asked, "Luffy, who is this guy?"

"Why are you so arrogant? You don't even take my dad seriously!"

"His name is Douglas Barrett, a crew member under the late Pirate King, Gol D. Roger. Nicknamed 'Descendant of the Devil', he is a very terrifying guy."

Chen Hui reached out and grabbed another huge skewer of meat, chewing it while answering, "He has only been defeated by the late Pirate King in his life, and he has always regarded this as a lifelong regret."

"So I used this incident as leverage to ask him to help rescue you."

"As for what happened afterwards, you should already know it, so I won't repeat it."

"Why are you coming to me for that bastard's business?" Ace said indignantly, "I have nothing to do with that bastard! The only father I recognize is Whitebeard!"

"Okay, okay, I got it, I got it."

After quickly finishing the nearly full-height skewer of meat, Chen Hui grabbed several large pieces of barbecued meat and devoured them with relish. As he ate, he replied, "Whether you're willing to admit it or not, this guy has already identified you."

"Being able to buy you ten years is the best I can do."

“No more, I can’t do anything.”

After possessing the Straw Hat Kid's exaggerated physique and devouring the barbecued meat several times heavier than himself like a whirlwind, Chen Hui took a sip of fine wine, shrugged with a hint of unsatisfied feeling, and said, "So, in the next few years, you'd better not waste any time and practice diligently."

"That Barrett is not kidding you. If you can't satisfy him by then, he will really kill you."

"Humph!" Ace raised his fist upon hearing that, a blazing flame ignited within him. He sneered with great arrogance, "Even if I were to fight him now, I wouldn't lose!"

"I won't lose a damn thing!"

Chen Hui couldn't stand Ace's arrogant attitude, so he suddenly jumped up and punched him, sending him flying. He shouted in anger, "Do you know how strong that guy is? Twenty years ago, he was able to single-handedly fight against the Demon Slayer!"

"It would even take the combined efforts of Sengoku and Grandpa, plus countless navy and pirates, to take him down!"

"Compared to him now, you are still at least several Blackbeards behind!"

Whenever Chen Hui thought of the scene in the anime where Blackbeard's face changed drastically when he saw Barrett, he felt that Ace now really didn't know his place.

In a nutshell, you deserve a beating!

He still needs to experience more beatings and torture.

Thinking of this, Chen Hui regretted that he had acted too early.

If they could wait until Whitebeard died before rescuing Ace, he would probably now truly understand how cruel this world is.

"Yeah, Ace."

Hearing this, Whitebeard, who had been silent the entire time, finally spoke up, nodding in agreement, "This 'Devil's Descendant' is indeed a formidable figure."

"Even the old man now may not be able to defeat him."

"You must not take this lightly, Ace."

"What? Even your ability, Dad." In Ace's heart, Whitebeard has always been an invincible existence. He felt unbelievable when he heard it.

"What's so strange about that? Don't you think about how old this uncle with white beard is?"

Sitting back down on the ground, Chen Hui reached out and took another piece of barbecue. As he ate, he hummed, "No one can be invincible in their entire life. Everyone will eventually grow old and die."

"If you don't stand up quickly, how can you live your whole life hiding under the uncle's wings?"

"Grow up, Ace!"

Looking at Whitebeard's completely gray hair, Ace suddenly realized something as if he had just woken up from a dream.

The powerful existence who seemed to be like a mountain, always protecting all his children, has really grown old.

Just as Ace was momentarily overcome with grief, trembling and unable to speak, Chen Hui continued in a deep voice, "Barrett isn't a pressing issue right now. After all, there's still about ten years left."

"For you right now, Blackbeard is the biggest and most imminent trouble."

Seeing Ace's fists clenched tightly upon hearing this, and the sudden silence around them, Chen Hui said in a calm voice, "This fellow possesses the power of the Dark Fruit, and has the help and abilities of countless super pirates on the sixth floor of Impel Down. It's unknown how powerful he has become."

"This guy is a traitor who killed his companions. As long as the Whitebeard Pirates exist, he will never be able to wash away the bad reputation on his body, so he will definitely do everything he can to destroy this pirate group."

"Especially you, Ace. Putting aside the previous grudges, your ability alone is enough to make him salivate."

"Don't forget, this is the strongest natural system."

Ace trembled all over when he heard this, and a raging fire burst out of his body unconsciously. He shouted with a ferocious face: "Then let him come! This time I must kill him with my own hands!"

"There's no point in talking big, Ace."

Moving sideways to avoid the surging flames, Chen Hui shook his head and said, "If using his mouth alone could solve the problem, Blackbeard would have died at least hundreds of times."

Seeing Ace's suddenly deflated and frustrated look, Chen Hui said calmly, "So your top priority right now is to improve your strength as quickly as possible, at least to be able to use all three colors of domineering aura with ease."

"After all, although the 'Darkness Fruit' can restrain other fruit abilities, it cannot restrain Haki."

"If you can improve your Haki as quickly as possible, then your chances of winning against Blackbeard will be much greater."

"Let's take a step back and say, even if we still can't win, we should still have no problem protecting ourselves."

Having said this, Chen Hui took another huge piece of barbecue and started to chew on it. As he ate, he said, "And this is why I promised Zhan Guo to let you hide for a year."

"You'd better take advantage of this year to hone your Haki and stop relying solely on your fruit abilities."

"The facts prove that even the so-called strongest natural system is not invincible."

"Ace, your brother is right." Hearing this, 'Phoenix' Marco came forward, put his arm around Ace's shoulders and advised: "For the next year, find an island and practice hard."

"This will be a huge help not only to you but also to our entire pirate group."

Although out of emotion, Ace still wanted to find Blackbeard as soon as possible to avenge the previous attack.

But after listening to Chen Hui's words, Ace also realized that the gap in strength between himself and Blackbeard could not be made up by passion alone.

Just as Chen Hui reminded him before, now that he no longer has to worry about being used as a token of allegiance, if he is defeated by the other party again, not only will he not be able to seek justice for himself and the pirate group, he won't even be able to keep his fruit ability.

When Ace thought about the powerful ability of the 'Flame-Flame Fruit', which might one day be used against his companions and relatives, he couldn't help but feel a chill, and no longer had any hope.

Just when Ace finally made up his mind to spend the next year practicing the three-color domineering, a commotion suddenly came from the seaside outside the banquet.

Next, an ordinary pirate from the pirate group ran over in a panic and reported to Whitebeard and the other high-ranking officials, "Father! A navy ship has arrived on the sea!"

Chapter 277: The Empress Arrives, Her Beauty Comparable to Weapons of Mass Destruction (Please Customize)

"warship?"

"One ship?"

As soon as these words were spoken, not only Whitebeard, but all the cadres and senior executives present were immediately stunned.

No, how can the navy be so powerful that they dare to come here alone?

Just as everyone was looking at each other, completely confused about what was going on, waves of incredulous gasps suddenly came from far away.

Next, under the gazes of countless pirates, a towering beauty with long hair draped over her shoulders, a figure so tall that her legs were all from the neck down, approached with a proud and unconcerned gait, oblivious to the surroundings.

Boa Hancock, the Pirate Queen, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Glancing at the pirates around her, both men and women were fascinated and intoxicated. Boa Hancock's stunning face revealed a hint of annoyance. She said in a cold voice, "What an embarrassing bunch of rude people! How dare you look at me? You should just turn to stone."

As she spoke, the Pirate Queen actually formed a circle with her hands, intending to activate the power of the 'Sweet-Sweet Fruit'.

"Pirate Queen, what are you doing here?!"

Whitebeard naturally couldn't bear to watch his children being turned into stone by the Pirate Empress, so he immediately swung the supreme sword in his hand, Murakumo Kirei, emitting a very slight vibration, which not only interrupted Boa Hancock's ability, but also awakened all the pirates from their intoxication.

It has to be said that Boa Hancock's peerless beauty, enhanced by the 'Sweet-Sweet Fruit', can almost be regarded as a weapon of mass destruction.

That is truly an indiscriminate killing capability covering almost all ages and races, regardless of gender, age or status.

It can be said that except for a very small number of top-level strong people who stand at the top of the world and have extremely strong minds, almost no one can resist this level of rare beauty.

Such an unparalleled beauty that could make everyone willingly sink into her love has far exceeded the normal range and is almost like a curse.

'Sweet Fruit', it's so scary.

No wonder Blackbeard was determined to obtain the power of this fruit even at the cost of his men's lives.

Seeing Whitebeard raging, he immediately stood up with his sword in hand, ready to attack. Chen Hui hurried forward and stopped him, explaining, "Uncle Whitebeard, I'm sorry, but this Miss Empress should be looking for me."

"Luffy!"

As soon as she saw the familiar figure in the straw hat, Hancock's powerful aura, which was over two meters tall, disappeared without a trace. She turned into a little woman and said in a delicate voice, "You...are you okay?"

"It's okay, I'm fine." Facing the gossipy looks of the crowd, Chen Hui stepped forward, took Hancock's hand, brought her to Ace, and introduced her, "Ace, thank her properly."

"If it weren't for Hancock's help, I wouldn't have been able to sneak into Impel Down so smoothly."

"Oh, it was that time." Ace suddenly realized and immediately recalled the scene when the Pirate Queen suddenly came to see him when they were advancing into the city.

Ace was a little puzzled at first. After all, he had no relationship with this Shichibukai at all, so why did he come all the way to see him?

Now that I think about it, I was just a cover. The real purpose of this Pirate Queen was to cover Luffy's sneaking in.

But, coming back to the point, what is the relationship between the two of them?

Why is the Pirate Queen willing to take such a big risk for Luffy?

After asking this question with an ambiguous look on his face, Chen Hui responded with a slight smile, then swung his fist again, knocking Ace, who looked like he was enjoying the show, out.

I have to say, it feels really good to solve everything with fists.

No wonder Garp beat up Luffy when they had a disagreement.

Next, not bothering to pay attention to the crowd watching the fun, Chen Hui pulled Hancock to a secluded spot on the side and asked with a bit of amusement, "Did you come here just to make sure I'm okay?"

"Yes." Seeing the smile on Chen Hui's face, Hancock's eyes seemed to sparkle with stars. Her face flushed red as she replied, "I saw you leaving with Whitebeard and his group. I was a little worried, so I asked Salome to follow you."

"I'm so glad you made it out of Impel Down safely, Luffy."

"It's all thanks to your help." Chen Hui smiled calmly and said, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to enter Push City so easily, let alone have the chance to gain such a great reward inside."

"Thank you so much for this time, Hancock."

[Again... calling my name again.]

[Could this be a marriage proposal?]

Seeing Hancock's frail and weak appearance, as if she was about to faint at any moment, Chen Hui, who understood her feelings, sighed secretly and suddenly asked as if something suddenly occurred to him, "Speaking of which, Hancock, was that navy ship on the sea that you were on board?"

"Hmm? Yeah, yes." Hancock was slightly stunned when she heard that, and then immediately gave an affirmative answer.

"Then...won't the navy discover your relationship with me?" Chen Hui asked worriedly, "You are still one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and your relationship with me cannot be exposed."

"It doesn't matter." Hancock smiled gracefully and said, "I have turned all the sailors on the ship into stone."

"They won't know anything."

It’s really simple and crude, the Pirate Empress.

Shaking his head with some emotion, Chen Hui thought for a moment, then turned and walked to Whitebeard and said, "Although it's a bit hasty, Uncle Whitebeard, I may have to leave first."

"What?!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and then they saw Ace asked in surprise: "Luffy, aren't you going to the New World with us?"

"No." Chen Hui shook his head and said, "Didn't I just say that? My companions have been blown away in all directions by the Tyrant Bear. I have to go and find them all."

"Besides, our pirate ships are still in the Sabaody Archipelago. We definitely can't give them up."

"So, I have to leave."

After hearing this, Ace didn't know what to say.

After all, for pirates like them who belong to the lawful camp, nothing is more important than their companions.

Therefore, after figuring this out, Ace stopped trying to persuade him to stay and instead offered his blessing: "In that case, I wish you to find all your companions soon and enter the new world together."

"I'll be waiting for you there, Luffy."

"Then you must practice hard, Ace." Chen Hui smiled faintly and said, "Don't wait until I enter the new world to find that you have been killed by someone."
