Chapter 679: Decisive Battle on Isolated Island

Chapter 679: Decisive Battle on Isolated Island

Vic naturally knew what Ace was thinking. He was suddenly filled with the power of a powerful fruit and was floating up in the air. He wanted to vent his anger for the previous grievance.

It was because of this change that Vic wanted to wake him up, to let him know that there are always people better than you and that he should not be arrogant in any battle, otherwise he would become the villain.

After saying this, Vic ignored Ace and his companions and just sat cross-legged on the deck of the pirate ship with his eyes closed.

When the pirate group was having dinner, they didn't know whether they should wake up Wake. They didn't know what the relationship was between their captain Ace and Wake, and they were afraid of Wake's status as a Shichibukai.

Although they are all from the East China Sea, the information on the Grand Line is not as blocked as imagined. Zoro has always known the identity of Mihawk, the world's greatest swordsman and one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Ace really wants to ask Vic to come for dinner, but after looking at Vic's back, he hesitated for a long time and still didn't do it.

A day later, an island finally appeared in the sight of the pirate ship. When it was still far away from the island, Vic opened his eyes. Without greeting the people on the ship, in the horrified eyes of all the crew members, Vic walked towards the island step by step.

Vic was walking very fast in the air, but he didn't feel hurried at all. It was very natural. He took one step at a time and soon entered the island in front and disappeared into the lush woods.

Ace can also fly with the help of the Flame-Flame Fruit, but his method is still far different from Vic's. Vic flies in a way that they find difficult to understand.

Ace's pupils shrank as he watched Wick's departing back. Although he had known Wick for many years, he had never seen Wick actually take action. Every time Wick appeared next to him and Luffy, he suddenly appeared in their sight!

Or when the two of them were playing and suddenly looked up, the man was standing there with his back to them as if he had always been there.

Or the man's back entered their field of vision when the two were tracking their prey. They also tried to escape, but before they could take a step, the scene in front of them had changed and they entered another world!

Or the man's back was always blocking their way in all the directions they fled in panic, and they could never get rid of him, so in the end they could only let Vic do whatever he wanted.

Ace didn't know how Vic did it, but he had never seen Vic take action. But now he is not afraid of any attack, even if Vic is elusive.

So this is the reason why Ace dared to resist Vic, but now Vic used methods at will that he didn't understand, which made his previous invincible confidence seem to have a crack.

When Ace and others went to the island to find Vic, Ace saw the familiar figure with the fluttering cloak again. This has always been the thing that Ace disliked about Vic, as if everyone could only look up to him.

This is the mentality of those young men who have just gone out to sea, because they have never been beaten. In the original work, Ace continued in this state until he met Whitebeard.

He tried everything to do but couldn't do anything to Whitebeard, he was almost on the verge of collapse, and finally joined Whitebeard's pirate group. The man who almost made him collapse became his biggest backer, but the effect of this beating could not last long, and Ace eventually fell into Blackbeard's hands.

"Go ahead!"

Vic held the hilt of the sword and turned around and said lightly, the expectation in his eyes faded. Vic would not let Ace follow the old path in the original work. Even if he really joined the Whitebeard Pirates, Vic would defeat the god in his mind - Whitebeard - in front of him.

Ace's starting point when he goes out to sea is now much higher than in the original work. Now it depends on how high Ace can bounce back after being hit.

"fire punch!"

Ace didn't say much. He punched Vic from a long distance. His fist turned into a ball of red flame and expanded rapidly towards Vic.

Vic didn't even try to dodge. The flames went straight through his chest without leaving any sparks on him. Instead, they burned the bushes behind Vic to ashes. Even the ground was reflected with a crystal-like glow. This was because the gravel on the ground had been crystallized by the high temperature.

"Huh? How is that possible?"

"Musket!"

Seeing that Vic had no damage at all, Ace's face turned a little ugly. The fire that had always been invincible in the past had no effect at all.

Ace has basically lived in a secluded mountain area since he grew up, and doesn't care about anything about the outside world. It hasn't been long since he went out to sea, and there hasn't been any news about Vic in the newspapers for a long time.

Therefore, Ace would never take the initiative to understand Vic, and he didn't know that Vic was a natural ability user. Just like the battle between Ace and Smoker in Alabasta later, neither of them could do anything to the other.

Ace's attack on Vic would be fruitless, but he has not yet realized that Vic is also a user of nature abilities. Vic used his Observation Haki to foresee the future and dodged the moment the flames approached him by turning into an element. With Ace's current strength, he couldn't see the problem with just one move.

Ace made a pistol shooting gesture with both hands and aimed at Vic, shaking continuously. In front of the two fingers pointing at Vic, balls of flame shot out rapidly, several points faster than the flame of the fire fist just now. Balls of flame shot towards all parts of Vic's body.

He didn't see clearly how Vic dodged the fire fist, so he used the continuous attack method of musket as a test.

However, the continuous attacks still did not make Vic move at all, and the flames seemed to turn the corner, passed Vic and flew behind him.

The flame was so powerful that it burned all the grass and trees it touched, but Vic was spotless, and the black cloak on his back was shaken by the gusts of air created by the flame.

Ace had sweat on his forehead and used many of his newly developed moves to attack Vic, but to no avail. He couldn't figure out the reason.

Ace's companions were all watching the fight, their jaws nearly dropped to the ground. The previously invincible captain couldn't even let that Shichibukai dodge, and the opponent didn't even move the entire time!

Vic just stood there with a faint smile on his face, but it seemed like a silent mockery of their captain. Ace was trying his best to attack, but the other party was indifferent. The two of them formed a sharp contrast between movement and stillness.

"Are you also a natural ability user?"

Vic no longer used the ability to foresee the future to avoid the incoming flames. The collision between flames and lightning finally made Ace realize something.

Although the elemental properties of the Flame-Flame Fruit and the Thunder-Thunder Fruit are somewhat different, the elemental attributes are still the same. Considering his own invincibility and Vic's invincibility just now, he is definitely a user of nature-type abilities!

No wonder all the attacks had no effect. If that were the case, it would make sense. The fear I felt just now was also relieved a lot.

"Mr. Vic! If you have the guts, don't use elementalization!"

Ace knew that the natural element was invincible. If Vic continued to transform into an element, there would be no point in fighting and no one would be able to determine the winner.

How could he know that he was the only one who was helpless? If Vic attacked, he would not be able to withstand a single move. However, he still wanted to fight with Vic.
