Chapter 1154 Blazing Flames Burn the Sky

Ace didn't even pay attention to the gleaming blade that came at the same time from the opposite side—the blade sliced ​​through the air and split his body in two, half of his severed arm flew down in the air, flames burning at the cut!

At the same time, his fist, wreathed in flames and Conqueror's Haki, struck Roger's head precisely.

The extreme heat of tens of thousands of degrees, coupled with the domineering and unparalleled Conqueror's Haki, caused Roger's head, which was covered with a layer of Armament Haki protection, to melt away in an instant, just like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun, leaving not even a trace of ash!

This seemingly mutually destructive and suicidal fighting style was actually Ace's scheme.

He is a Logia-type Devil Fruit user with the Flame-Flame Fruit ability, and has long since mastered the art of elemental transformation. Just now, he used Observation Haki to predict the trajectory of the blade in advance, allowing him to complete a perfect "trade of injuries" without suffering any damage.

Roger on the other side was nothing more than a summoned puppet without intelligence, only able to fight according to orders. The two were not even on the same level!

"Come again!"

As his words fell, a towering figure, as imposing as a mountain, slowly appeared before him. A broad back, a signature crescent-shaped white beard, and a domineering gaze—it was none other than Ace's adoptive father, Edward Newgate the Whitebeard!

Seeing that Ace was not affected at all by the fact that the enemy was his father, he summoned Whitebeard again!

A determined smile curved the corners of Gillingam's lips.

If your biological father can so readily kill you, what about this adoptive father who treats you like his own child and protects you so fiercely? Can you still be as resolute as you were just now? Don't you want to look at him a few more times?

Looking at the living, breathing "Dad" before him, Ace's flames suddenly froze for a moment.

His clenched fist trembled slightly, and he actually stopped walking.

The real father had already died on the battlefield more than a decade ago in Marineford!

His longing for his father could only be expressed in the yellowed wanted posters and vague fragments of memory.

Now, a figure exactly like the one in his memory stood vividly before him—even knowing it was just a puppet, Ace felt an indescribable pang of sorrow.

He really wanted to take a few more glances!

"So there really is someone I care about? Hahaha!"

Gillingam's maniacal laughter shook the very air. He was certain he had discovered Ace's weakness, and a fierce determination flashed in his eyes. He immediately spurred the white-bearded figure before him, charging towards Ace with a sharp whooshing sound as it cut through the air.

The naginata, accompanied by a fierce gust of wind, came crashing down. Ace dodged it with ghostly movements, and when there was no way to avoid it, he raised his hand to meet it with his fist!

Only a thin layer of Armament Haki clung to his fist, and his strength was perfectly controlled, clearly showing that he was reluctant to use force against that enormous figure.

This Whitebeard is not the complete form that Im summoned. It does not have the terrifying power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to overturn rivers and seas. Even Roger, who appeared before, was not in his complete form!

If it weren't for its incomplete state, Gillingam would be far too overpowered. With just a group of followers who were indulging in the illusion of being strong, and by guiding them during their dreams, he could replicate countless legendary combat powers and truly dominate the world.

Unfortunately, his Devil Fruit ability was far from being developed to that pinnacle.

Seeing that Ace remained steadfast in his defense and only dodged and evaded, Gillingam's eyes were practically overflowing with smugness and excitement.

He recognized this as the perfect opportunity to defeat Ace, and immediately shouted and joined the battle, wielding a uniquely shaped halberd.

Putting aside the strange Dream-Dream Fruit, he is also a powerful expert who is proficient in all three types of Haki. His halberd moves with great force. Even if he only relies on his physical skills and Haki, he is a standard combat force in the Knights of God. Why would he be afraid to fight Ace in close combat?

"Sigh! Is it over?"

Seeing that Gillingam had also joined the battle, Ace knew that his time with his father was over!

Ace sighed softly, his gaze sweeping over Whitebeard's familiar face, and murmured softly.

His reluctance to make a move was never due to mercy, nor was it out of fear of the puppet with his father's body or the sudden attack of Jilinggom!

Even if he were to fight two opponents, he would be absolutely confident of remaining undefeated.

He was only reluctant to part with this brief reunion, wanting to see his father's face and voice a little longer. But since Gillingam was determined to interrupt this reunion, then this battle should also come to an end.

"The Overlord Flame Emperor!"

A deep shout echoed through the sky. Ace narrowly dodged the sweeping naginata, then suddenly exerted force with his feet, his figure shooting out like a streak of crimson lightning. Ignoring the sharpness of the halberd, he forcefully held Gillingam tightly in his arms.

The next second, white flames that distorted the void erupted from his body, so hot they seemed capable of burning everything in the world. They were accompanied by blinding red light and crackling crimson lightning, instantly engulfing the two of them.

"what......"

A piercing scream shattered the sky. The sound was not human; rather, it resembled the mournful cry of a dying owl, hoarse and desperate, sending chills down the spines of those on other battlefields!

No one could imagine the hellish pain that Gillingam, enveloped in white flames, was enduring at that moment.

Many on the battlefield subconsciously stopped fighting, their eyes fixed on the towering, fiery peak, filled with awe; while on the faces of Garp, Rayleigh, Jabba, and others, a hint of relief quietly appeared.

In fact, there is still a big gap in strength between Gillingam and Ace. It was only because several primal demons attacked Ace together that Gillingam was able to hold out until now. Otherwise, he would have been burned to ashes by Ace long ago.

The screams lasted for a full five breaths before suddenly fading into deathly silence!

Within the fiery mountain, a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly shone, silently watching the white-bearded figure gradually turn into specks of light and dissipate in the wind.

Immediately afterwards, a whirlwind rose out of nowhere, swirling with scorching air as it swept past. The majestic fiery mountain visibly contracted and condensed, eventually transforming into a familiar figure that stood silently in place.

"Dad! Rest in peace, and may you never be disturbed again!"

The whirlwind carried the whisper away, disappearing into the vast void. It is unknown whether it will reach that world without war or strife.

......

"If you're so capable, then don't try to hide!"

On another battlefield, an angry female voice rang out; it was Rebecca, Vic's childhood sweetheart.

She was known as the "Witch of Ten Thousand Swords," but at this moment she was being completely outmaneuvered by her opponent, her teeth clenched and her pretty face flushed red.

Her opponent was also a woman, but she was old enough to be her grandmother—she was one of only three strong women in the Knights of God, besides Junzi and Mafi.

Even though she was over a hundred years old, her appearance was still as beautiful as ever, showing no signs of aging. At this moment, she was gracefully dodging Rebecca's flying sword, handling it with unbelievable ease.

"Dodging is also part of the battle. If you can only defeat enemies that can't move, you might as well go back to your hometown and be a wife and mother, instead of making a fool of yourself here!"
