Chapter 863 Rejection
Vic showed up after the battle between the two, which surprised Ace and Barrett. They thought they were still very strong now, but Vic was still able to approach them quietly without being discovered. This kind of strength is really intimidating!
And they hadn't made any progress for some time, and they thought they had reached the limit of human beings, but Vic's appearance woke them up and they realized that they hadn't even touched the edge of human limits!
In fact, both of them are very strong now, and the only thing they lack from being a top powerhouse like Kaido is the ability to foresee the future. After Barrett learned Ryuo, he is not much different from Kaido. After all, he is old enough, and he has never stopped practicing domineering even in Impel Down. He has considerable reserves of domineering, and is not afraid of Kaido at all.
And Ace has Vic's pure gold spirit gathering array to help him, and his domineering power has increased beyond words. Two years is equivalent to twenty years for others. Even Barrett has discovered that something is wrong with Ace!
Ace has a deep understanding of this. Otherwise, with the amount of Armament Haki Ace has at his age, how could he possibly fight Barrett on equal terms? At most, he could hold on for a while and then wither. But now, Ace can face Akainu calmly!
"Mr. Vick! You're here!"
"Two years have passed so quickly! I am still too stupid. The Flame-Flame Fruit just can't be awakened!"
Ace was still very excited to see Vic, as if he was showing off his achievements to his parents. But then he felt a little melancholy because the Flame-Flame Fruit had not yet awakened!
He originally thought it didn't matter, as there weren't many people who could awaken their fruit abilities. But Barrett had awakened right in front of him, and he couldn't stand it. What was wrong with him, Ace the Fire Fist? Just thinking about it was one thing, but being able to do it was another!
Barrett on the other side curled his lips after hearing what Ace said. You are stupid? Then how can I live? I am a genius certified by Pirate King Roger. Am I proud?
Didn't I just end up in a draw with a rookie like you? If you say that, it will make the words of One Piece seem meaningless. Doesn't One Piece have any face?
If Vic knew what Barrett was thinking, he would definitely tell him that Pirate King Roger is Ace's biological father, and his son is just an ordinary person. Are you satisfied?
"It is more difficult to awaken natural abilities. You haven't awakened yet, which means your destiny hasn't arrived yet. Don't take it too seriously. Keep a normal mind and appreciate the nature of heaven and earth. When you see a different world, that means your destiny has arrived!"
Among the fruit abilities, the parahuman type is the easiest to awaken, and has the most awakened people. The second is the animal type, which is a battle between humanity and animality. If you win, you are awakened, and if you lose, you are a monster like Jailermon!
The natural system is the most difficult to awaken, and the number of awakenings is the least. It may also be because natural system abilities are more scarce, but it is also true that awakening is more difficult. This is not Ace's fault for not having good talent, so Vic told Ace not to be impatient. More haste makes waste. The more you want to do something, the easier it is to go astray!
"Barrett! You've been fighting for so long, go and rest first. I have something to tell Ace."
"it is good!"
With Barrett's previous temper, he would have rushed up to fight the moment he saw Vic. He has been fighting, growing and becoming stronger here for two years. He has been holding back for a long time. He is looking forward to the challenge that Vic promised, but the way Vic appeared before directly intimidated him, so he is very well behaved now. He will save the opportunity to challenge for another chance in the future!
So some people don't really have a bad temper, but you don't use the right method. Barrett is a good example. Who wants to try his good temper? If the current Barrett is released to do a fanatic action, it will definitely be very exciting! Many people can see Barrett's good temper!
"Ace! You should know that when we left this island, not long after that, Blackbeard led his men to attack Marco and his men!
This should have been planned by Blackbeard a long time ago. One thing leads to another, and you are one of them, or even the first one! When I received the intelligence and rushed over, the battle was already over..."
Vic had a look of regret on his face, as if he had missed out, which made Ace turn pale and blame himself. If Blackbeard's plan was really a chain reaction, then he must be the one who triggered the chain reaction!
It can be said that everything was caused by him. How could Ace feel at peace? If the entire Whitebeard Pirates were destroyed because of him, how would he deal with it in the future? All he could do was to seek revenge on Blackbeard. As for other things, he had no intention of thinking about them anymore!
"He...they! How are they?"
Although he had already confirmed the result in his heart, Ace still retained a glimmer of hope, hoping for a miracle to happen!
"When I arrived, Joz was already dead, and the others were seriously injured and unconscious. Luckily, Blackbeard saw that it was me and ran away, otherwise they would all be in danger! Tsk tsk! What good luck!
You know a little about my medical skills. I saved Joz who just died, so you don't have to look at me like your brother has died."
"Mr. Vick! Can you finish your sentence in one go next time? You almost scared me to death!"
Ace covered his chest and let out a long breath. His chest was really stuffy and stuffy just now. The key was that Vic's expression was too pointed and directly misled his thinking. He really couldn't stand Vic's bad taste. That would kill the whole family! This was also used as a joke. This was too exciting!
"Hahaha! I just wanted to tease you. But the story isn't over yet. Blackbeard attacked Marco and the others because he has set his eyes on your father's territory. He is never a man who gives up easily!
Someone who can endure for decades just for a Dark-Dark Fruit will never stop taking action against Marco and the others just because of me. It’s impossible for me to arrive in time every time!
So Marco hung my pirate flag on all the islands in your territory without my permission. You should understand what I mean.
"You killed me first and asked me later, which caught me off guard. It also made me bear the title of the Four Emperors. Now that you have achieved success in your training, I should return the land to you. You will be the ones to protect it from now on!"
In the past two years, Vic's only contribution was to prevent Blackbeard from overstepping the line. As for those pirates who caused trouble on their territory, they were all dealt with by Marco and his men.
The Four Emperors-level forces live in peace with him. Big Mom is afraid of being beaten and dares not to do anything. Kaido recognizes Wick's strength and does not want to do anything. As for Red Hair, they have a good relationship and are unwilling to do anything. Therefore, Wick has never contributed anything. He got the title of the Four Emperors for nothing. He feels unworthy of this territory and does not want to participate in the battle for the great treasure in the future.
"Mr. Vic! Since your pirate flag has been hoisted over that territory, you should continue to protect it. Marco and the others should think so too!
If I want territory, I will fight for it myself. Before that, I want to seek revenge on Teach. This will never change!"
Ace thought for a moment and rejected Vic's proposal. He had his own ambitions. If he wanted a territory, he could just fight for it himself. Blackbeard was what he couldn't let go of the most. Wasn't it for this that he had been training so hard in the past two years? Revenge was the first priority, and the rest could be discussed after revenge.
