Chapter 148 Ace Is Coming!

The so-called destiny is nothing more than the right time and location as everyone often says.

That being the case, in fact, as long as Xiao's own power can override nature and rely on the absolute strength of man to defeat nature, he can completely ignore the manipulation of fate and do what he wants in his heart.

However, at this moment, Xiao was not eager to directly break through the shackles of fate. On the contrary, the existence of fate made him very interested.

Xiao still needs to carry out more tests until he grabs fate by the throat and pulls it out of the water completely.

The more help fate gives to Luffy and his gang, the stronger their power becomes, and there will eventually be a moment when their true identity is revealed.

By then, the omnipresent cyber aura will make it understand who is the real master!

According to the established trajectory of fate, the Straw Hats led by Luffy are destined to defeat Crocodile, defeat the King's Shichibukai, and successfully prevent the war between the Kingdom of Alabasta and the resistance.

It’s just that Xiao believes that the rebels in the original book chose to surrender rather than continue fighting, and there must be some unknown inside story hidden in it. It is by no means as simple as those nonsense claims, just because they learned the truth about Crocodile.

More actually, it was because the rebels knew that they had no chance of winning against Luffy and his gang.

You know, even the leaders of the resistance were easily defeated by Crocodile alone, but Luffy was able to defeat such a powerful enemy.

The fierce battle between his subordinates, which almost destroyed half of the royal capital, is still vivid in my mind. No one with any sense would dare to continue fighting.

Moreover, Cobra has already admitted his mistake, and the new queen Vivi has known the leader of the resistance force, Kosha, since childhood and has become a brother-in-law. The marriage of the two seems to be a foregone conclusion.

Since everyone is one of their own in the end, coupled with the strong force deterrence of the Straw Hats and a series of coincidences such as their clear statement that they will not be held accountable, the reconciliation between the king's army and the rebels has just been facilitated.

However, the situation is completely different now. With the advent of the Black Sun, the resistance army in Alabasta is no longer the old group led by Kosha, but is completely controlled by a group of earthly executors whose mission is to eradicate evil and tyranny in the world.

Only with the Earthly Executor as the main force, the resistance can recruit so many members. Kosha, a person who has not accepted the power of the Black Sun, can only be regarded as the leader of one of the teams at this time.

Xiao was eager to know at this moment, how Luffy would turn the tide and prevent the outbreak of this war in the face of such a predicament.

"Hey~~, Teach, I've been looking for you for a long time."

While Xiao and his subordinates were watching Luffy's group's live broadcast remotely, a familiar and slightly complaining voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

Xiao turned his head in surprise, his eyes falling on the roof not far away.

I saw a handsome man wearing a cowboy hat and shirtless squatting there. The sun shone on his bronzed skin, exuding a unique charm.

Seeing this man, a bright smile immediately appeared on Xiao's face: "Hey~ isn't this Ace...captain?"

He deliberately prolonged his tone, with a hint of joking flashing in his eyes.

However, Ace was not angered by Xiao's teasing. His tone was very calm, even a little indifferent:

"Come on, I'm still called captain. That's a word only used by people who know how to respect others. Don't think of me as a fool!"

Xiao seemed to have anticipated Ace's reaction. He continued to say in a joking tone: "This is etiquette. Isn't this your favorite, Captain Ace? Hahaha~~~"

After saying that, he couldn't help laughing. The laughter reverberated in the air, making the surrounding atmosphere suddenly become more chilling, and the surrounding temperature increased a few degrees again.

"Do guys like you also follow etiquette? You are a brother-killer. You have violated the iron laws of the Whitebeard Pirates. For an evil scum like you, I, the captain, will personally kill you..."

Xiao's words directly raised Ace's temperature by dozens of degrees, and blazing yellow flames ignited on his body.

"...burn it to ashes"

"Fire Fist!!"

Like a volcano erupting, a huge flaming fist with a diameter of tens of meters fell like a meteorite.

The Fire Fist swept towards the Blackbeard Pirates with the power of destroying the world and destroying the earth. The place where it passed was a scorched earth, as if it was going to burn the entire world.

"Dark Water!"

At this critical moment, Xiao shouted softly, and the surging dark power in his body spurted out, converging into a bottomless huge vortex, lying in front of him,

The darkness was like an indestructible shield, firmly resisting Ace's terrifying fire fist that could burn everything.

"Pay your life for Thatch, Teach!"

Ace's angry roar echoed in Xiao's ears.

"Kakaka~~~~"

Red and black lightning loomed over the fire fist, and a deafening explosion suddenly sounded, resounding through the sky.

BOOM——

The shock wave generated by the collision of two powerful forces spread rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, setting off waves of violent winds and huge waves.

The dark water created by Xiao temporarily withstood Ace's fire fist, but it only lasted for a moment before it was overwhelmed and shattered.

In an instant, Ace's fire fist drove straight in, penetrated the dark vortex without any hindrance, and struck Xiao's body with unparalleled power.

The scorching flames raged like wild horses, completely engulfing Xiao in an instant.

The tens of thousands of degrees of high temperature melted everything around in the blink of an eye. The originally turbulent sea was violently steaming under the terrifying high temperature, and water vapor filled the air;

The solid earth could not withstand such a hot temperature, and it melted and flowed, forming rolling lava;

The golden beach became crystal clear under the burning fire, like glass.

At this moment, the port of Alabasta has become a purgatory on earth, with flames and thick smoke everywhere.

The terrified people fled in all directions, fearing that if they were a little slower, they would be ruthlessly swallowed by Ace's flames and turned into a pile of ashes.

The Blackbeard Pirates, who were in the center of purgatory, were completely shrouded in the thick darkness released by Xiao.

The endless black mist emerged from Xiao's body, as thick as ink, trying to extinguish Ace's raging flames.

However, in the face of the menacing dark power, Ace's flames showed amazing tenacity.

They leapt nimbly, baring their fangs and claws, not affected by the darkness at all. Instead, they drove it away one by one, like kings, unruly and never extinguished.
