Chapter 285
The whole town is big, but under the coverage of Lin Tian’s Haki, it didn’t take long to see Luffy who was hunted down by Marine.
Looking at Luffy, who was hunted down by dozens of Marines on the road, Ace patted his head helplessly and said: “This brat has not changed at all from the past. He would cause such a big movement no matter where he goes.”
Lin Tian smiled and said: “If he wasn’t like that, can he be called Luffy?”
“Bah… That’s right, this style is the most suitable for Luffy.” Looking at the silhouette that he hasn’t seen for many years, Ace has a very happy smile on his face.
They scanned the surrounding environment, and through Observation Haki’s induction, they found that many Marines had moved towards Luffy from the side.
Thinking about it, then he said: “Ace, you can bring Luffy out first. I will meet the rest of the people first, and then I will meet the east side of the town.”
Hearing this, Ace slightly nodded, and then turned around to look, the whole moment was blinded, “Hey…Luffy guy, where did that brat go? …Hey, Lin Tian…” Turning around, Lin Tian, who was still standing behind him on the front feet, has no silhouette and disappeared. “Bah, these two are still the same, nothing has changed, just leave me here all alone.”
Under the exposure of Luffy, the entire peaceful town began to panic during many marines chasing a pirate, and the marines yelled from many places.
On the top of the building, Lin Tian quickly jumped on the top of the building with Vivi on his back, ran towards the predetermined gathering direction, supported by Lin Tian for so long, the previous shyness was also reduced a lot.
It’s just the warm feeling coming from underneath the b.u.t.t, which still made Vivi’s heart plop.
Watching the team of Marine soldiers pa.s.sing by, Vivi felt a little helpless, “Luffy is truly… Um… He just acts on instinct, and he can make such a big noise just by having a meal.”
“This style is suitable for our captain. Okay, we’re about to get to the gathering point.”
As Lin Tian’s voice fell, Lin Tian carried Vivi from the top of the building. Gently jumped down and landed in an alley, moved towards a dilapidated wall not far from the side, and walked out of the town at the back.
Seeing Lin Tian’s return, Nami who was observing secretly, hurriedly stretched out her hand and said: “Lin Tian, Vivi, come here quickly.”
His body flashed. Lin Tian hid behind the wall with Vivi on his back, the rest of the people had already arrived, plus Lin Tian and Vivi that came, now there is still one person left.
Sanji clasped his hands and moved forward with excitement, “Vivi, how are you, what did you inquire about?”
Bang!
Nami kicked Sanji away in front of him with an annoyed look, and asked in confusion: “Hey, do you two know what happened? Why do so many Marines suddenly run out?”
After sorting out the things he bought, Usopp suddenly interrupted, saying the news he had just heard, “It seems that some stupid pirate is being hunted by the Marine.”
“Stupid pirate?”
Vivi, who was just about to speak, was immediately embarra.s.sed. She explained: “Well, the one being hunted down is Luffy.”
“What, it’s Luffy, that idiot pirate is him.” everyone looked surprised.
Nami reluctantly slapped her face, very angrily, “Idiot! This guy Luffy really acts by instinct, and he caused such a big disturbance at this juncture.”
At this moment, a loud noise approached. Judging from the sound of footsteps, there should be a lot of people who shouted from time to time.
Everyone raised their heads curiously and looked outside. They saw that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Luffy, being chased by a large group of Marines shouting: “Straw Hat brat, stop!”
Luffy, who was being chased, turned his head and saw the silhouette of everyone immediately. He stopped quickly with a smile on his face, ran towards everyone, and finally found everyone.
“Yo, Zoro, so everyone is here.”
Zoro was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted: “Idiot, quickly lead them away from here!”
They thought that Straw Hat Luffy had changed direction, but after finding that all his accomplices were there, Marine hurriedly chased them, and at the same time called the Marine soldiers on the side to surround the pirates.
Looking at this scene, even Lin Tian couldn’t help but stunned. What happened in the end, didn’t Ace take Luffy away? Why is Luffy here now?
Seeing Marine chasing over, everyone hurriedly sorted out the things they had just bought, turned their backs, and ran towards the direction of Merry.
At this moment, Smoker, who had been chasing Luffy, also ran out of the crowd. The right hand arm turned into smoke, showing a giant claw, grabbing towards Luffy.
Feeling the smoke getting closer and closer behind, Lin Tian gritted his teeth and ran towards the front. When Lin Tian was about to save Luffy, a silhouette appeared in front of him and Lin Tian took back his hand.
Fire Pillar!
A pillar of flame emerged from the side, blocking the Smoker’s white smoke, the collision of smoke and fire, and disappeared in a burst of air.
The sudden emergence of flames surprised everyone. Dumbstruck looked at everything that happened afterwards, looking confused and wondering what happened.
As the flame dissipated, a flame-filled silhouette slowly emerged. It was Ace who hadn’t lost where.
And Luffy looked at the silhouette that emerged from behind, that familiar back figure, the whole person was shocked. He did not expect it! Luffy didn’t expect Ace to appear before his eyes.
Retracting the hands braving the flames, Ace said solemnly: “Your ability is smoke, and mine is fire. There is no difference between victory and defeat. Let’s stop.”
Zoro was surprised, “It turns out that he’s also a Devil Fruit Ability User…”
“Who is he and how did he suddenly appear? And he saved us…” Usopp asked puzzledly.
Slowly returning from surprise, Luffy still couldn’t believe what he saw before him. He was sweating and trembling.
“Ace!”
Hearing the sound coming from behind, Ace turned around, with a happy smile on his face, “Luffy, you haven’t changed at all.”
Looking at this familiar face, Luffy finally believed everything he saw before him, showing an excited smile and shouting happily.
“Ace, it’s Ace, Lin Tian, it’s Ace!”
Lin Tian gently nodded, without saying much, the kind of joy in Luffy’s heart, he can realize that the two have gone to sea one after another, but they have not met in three years.
“Ace, you actually ate a Devil Fruit!” Luffy asked in surprise.
“Well, yes, I ate Mera Mera no Mi (Flame-Flame Fruit).” He turned around and looked at the ever increasing Marines, “Hey, Luffy, Lin Tian, you go first, I’ll block them and meet you later.”
Hearing this, Lin Tian and Luffy didn’t stay any longer. They turned around and ran behind with everyone moved towards.
Faced with the Fire Fist Ace that appeared in front of him, Smoker was extremely cautious. In New World, Smoker had heard a lot of rumors about it.
This kind of Great pirate, even if New World is great and famous, will appear here, making Smoker very strange, and why would he help Straw Hat brat?
“I don’t understand you, why would you help Straw Hat Luffy, is it because of Lin Tian?” Smoker asked puzzled.
Retracting the flames from his body, Ace smiled and said, “Of course not, but my younger brother is being chased by you. I, the big brother, can’t just sit idly by.”
Behind him, looking at Lin Tian and Luffy who turned and ran, Nami asked puzzledly: “Luffy, Lin Tian, who was the man just now, do you know him?”
“Hey, he is my big brother.”
“What? Big brother?”
After Ace said his ident.i.ty, countless flames suddenly appeared all over his body, and the blazing flames blinked. The room has flooded the entire street.
The orange-yellow light illuminates the entire street, and the hot temperature from it makes many Marine sweat all over, staring at the man in front of them.
Looking at Ace in the wall of fire, Smoker smoked the cigar in his mouth, his hands turned into smoke, “Since you won’t let go, then I have to make a pa.s.sage.”
“White Snake.”
Suddenly stretched out both hands, two pillars of smoke emerged from both hands, each turning into a smart white snake, with its mouth wide open, attacked towards Fire Fist Ace.
Flames and smoke belong to the substances in the gas. The collision between the two sides is not so loud, just a m.u.f.fled sound. The air waves generated by the collision blow away all the flames and smoke, and the two sides are not hurt at all.
Seeing this, Smoker merged his hands and ejected a more powerful column of white mist, moving towards the Ace in the flame again to attack.
It’s not Ace’s character not to fight back. His hands are slowly closed. The wall of flames that fills the street slowly gathers between his hands. So many flames are compressed into everything, as if they are about to turn into liquid.
The hands suddenly pushed forward, and a flame column was also sprayed, which turned into a fire dragon, and the white mist column turned into a giant white snake.
The two sides did not collide, but the flexible entanglers rose into the air together, and the fusion of fire and smoke, like a spiral column, rose into the sky, revealing over the entire town.
“I said, one of us is a fire and the other is a smoke, and we are invincible, so I will go one step ahead, bye.”
Luffy and the others couldn’t help but stop and look behind, just to see that scene.
“It was a battle between fire and smoke. Both of them ate Devil Fruit.” Sanji put down the smoke and looked at the entangled fire and smoke in the sky.
Nami still couldn’t believe what Luffy said just now, and once again confirmed: “Hey, Luffy, is he really your big brother.”
“I’m not surprised that you have a brother,” Zoro asked aloud, “It’s just that Lin Tian and you lived together when we were young, so don’t you all know each other, then Lin Tian…”
“Well, his name is Ace. We have known each other since childhood, but he arrived at Grand Line three years earlier than Luffy. He’s a powerful pirate.”
What!
The battle between fire and smoke also came to an end after Ace left. As Ace said, without using other powers, fire and smoke can’t tell the difference between victory and defeat.
