Chapter 115 What happened? The island...the island flew up!

Chapter 115 What happened? The island...the island flew up!

Tina stared intently at the scene of the two fighting before her.

Fire and darkness stood in opposition in the air, vying with each other—

Everything around her had been reduced to ruins by the collision of these two forces. Tina, who had never been to the new world, had never imagined...

So this is what a catastrophic battle between powerful individuals looks like!

She, Baffa, and Jorah had no reason to continue fighting.

Because the entire town of Mogu... had already been reduced to ruins in the battle between Ace and Teach.

There was no longer any underground power in the town for the Don Quixote family to grow.

The town's residents and pirates had already scattered and fled far away from the town.

Now only Tina and these few groups of pirates remain here.

Starting today... Magic Valley Town will disappear from the map and become history.

"Firefly · Fire Dharma"

""

Ace stood up from the ground without pausing and rushed towards Teach at an extremely fast speed. A violent flame gathered in his palm, and an unyielding look appeared in his eyes. He created countless glowing small fireballs between his hands, which floated towards Teach and finally gathered on his opponent.

The next second, a "boom"

Flames soared into the sky, and Teach's agonizing screams echoed from within the flames.

"It hurts, it hurts so much—"

'

But that wasn't all. Ace suddenly leaped high into the air, his hands transforming into two flaming spears, which he thrust fiercely into the smoke.

"Sacred Fire·Shiranui Ichi"

The spear trailed a long, fiery tail, slicing through the sky before plunging fiercely into Teach's body.

"Ah—what is this? A musket?"

Immediately after, Ace landed, crossed his two index fingers to form a cross, and fired a cross-shaped beam of fire from his fingers, aiming at Teach's location. The cross-shaped flames then unleashed "Crossfire - Explosion!"

—

A massive cross-shaped tongue of fire shot out, instantly expanding to nearly a hundred meters in size, almost blotting out the sky and engulfing Teach and everything behind him. "Boom!"

The raging flames devoured everything, crackling and popping incessantly. The buildings behind were burned to a crisp, charred state, then collapsed with a creak and a crash. Trees turned to ash, and the ground became a scorched wasteland, like a scene from hell.

After a series of quick attacks, Ace stopped and looked around, panting.

The next second, his expression turned serious.

Amidst the thick smoke and scorched earth, Teach slowly emerged, a sinister smile still gracing his lips as he dusted himself off.

The flames on his body were gradually swallowed by darkness, and the dissolving insects—

"What a pity, such a powerful attack... anyone else would have died a thousand times over."

Teach opened his arms wide. "This is the power of darkness."

Teach stood in the center, his body still almost completely unharmed.

Before him, Ace was covered in wounds, struggling to his feet, swaying unsteadily.

"It's such a pity that someone as powerful as you has been wasted."

"

With an appreciative expression, Teach slowly spoke, "I'll ask you one last time, Ace... become my partner."

"The whole world will be awestruck by this power!"

Ace was covered in wounds and was clearly at a significant disadvantage; the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit was too much of a counter to him.

But a slow smile crept onto his lips, his face still bearing an air of arrogance. "If I were to submit to power... I wouldn't be a real man."

"Do you understand now... you idiot?"

Ace wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, lowered his hands, and prepared to unleash his power: "Great Flame Ring - Flame Emperor -!"

Countless spiraling pillars of fire erupted from Ace's body, turning the earth into a scorching sea of ​​fire. He spread his arms wide, and heavenly flames gathered in his palms like tornadoes, instantly condensing into a massive fireball that blotted out the sky.

Teach watched this scene with a look of regret in her eyes. "What a pity, Ace."

"Only those who survive deserve to be victors. It seems you don't understand this principle... Ace, 'Die in the darkness.'"

Teach spread his arms, and darkness rose from his body like smoke until it turned half the sky pitch black.

The fireball and the Black Sea faced each other from afar, and everyone on the field watched in horror, waiting for the moment when the two would collide.

However, the next second...

An unexpected event occurred: "Rumble—"

The earth began to tremble, and the violent force instantly sent everyone sprawling. The two players who were gathering their strength were abruptly interrupted, staring blankly at their feet.

Immediately afterwards... all the powerful figures present seemed to sense something, and they all showed expressions of shock.

Looking down from above, one can see that seawater is flowing back into the coastline around Gaya Island, and countless fish are scattering in fright.

Then... the entire island rose from the sea, revealing the seabed beneath the island, and the island... was shooting straight into the sky at an astonishing speed, piercing through the clouds!

The terrifying air pressure instantly made everyone lose their balance. Tina gripped the cloak representing the Navy's justice tightly behind her, half-crouching on the ground, her eyes filled with disbelief. "What... what happened?!"

Behind her, the navy was already blown haphazardly. Buffalo and Jorah of the Don Quixote family were pressed firmly to the ground by the terrifying pressure caused by the ascent, forming two bloated human figures that could not even stand up.

Teach's first mate, Van Oka, braced himself on the ground with a serious expression, struggling to maintain his balance.

Wandering aimlessly somewhere in the town, Doc Q was on horseback, its legs almost broken and embedded in the ground. Doc Q, tongue lolling out, was half-dead, crushed by the air pressure. "What happened? The island...the island is flying!"

Hisoka, standing beside him, used his "Bungee Gum" to anchor himself to the surrounding buildings, tilting his body and struggling to maintain his balance, a look of surprise on his face.

"Is that so?"

At this moment, only two people in the entire town were still maintaining their balance under the air pressure.

Ace and Teach struggled to maintain their standing positions. Their duel had been interrupted by this sudden event, and they looked around in confusion, bewildered, not knowing what had happened.

At this moment, only one person in the town, through everything he saw and his understanding of that person, guessed everything—

That's Bucky!

Burkey, who was almost buried in the ground, realized a disheartening truth after thinking about it. He pressed his face against the ground, revealing an expression that was even more unsightly than crying.

"This ability...this expressiveness...this unsettling style...this incredibly flamboyant entrance—"

"That's it!! Absolutely right!!" Bucky gritted his teeth.

"It's that man—"

—

An image immediately flashed into his mind:

A man with black hair and black eyes, a deep expression, and an elegant posture, with an inverted cross tattooed on his forehead, his figure was like that of a demon.

"It's definitely Kuroro!!"

He complained bitterly, looking utterly miserable, "Why is this ghost so persistent?"
