Chapter 82 Defeating Ace

"Monster!!!"

Everyone was terrified. That was fire, and extremely hot fire at that. Normal people couldn't withstand being touched by it, yet this guy had actually devoured all of it. Was this guy even human?

Ace was also somewhat terrified at this point.

He is a Logia-type user of the Flame-Flame Fruit, which allows him to transform his entire body into flames and create flames through his body. However, he cannot eat flames.

Lu Li wiped the remaining flames from the corner of his mouth and smiled, saying:

"thanks for treatment!"

Several people in the chat group wore mischievous smiles, just like the expressions on their faces when they saw Lu Li devour the flames during the live stream in the chat group.

We can't just shock them; it's best to let everyone see this kind of thing.

"177"

"you you you……"

Ace was now speaking somewhat incoherently.

"I do not believe!"

"fire punch!!!"

Ace's arm formed another giant flaming fist and shot towards Lu Li.

This time, Lu Li neither dodged nor evaded, nor did he activate his shield.

boom----! !

The fiery fist struck Lu Li squarely.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh————!

But in the blink of an eye, all the flames were consumed by Lu Li.

Ace was completely dumbfounded this time; the opponent had actually swallowed all of his flames.

His own Flame-Flame Fruit had no effect on the opponent.

How is this played?

However, Ace quickly came up with a solution. Since Devil Fruit powers wouldn't work on Lu Li, he would use his fists. He didn't have Devil Fruit powers when he went to sea, but he still managed to get through it all.

Bang!

Flames erupted from Ace's feet as he charged toward Lu Li, his fists swiftly striking at him.

Lu Li easily dodged all of Ace's attacks.

"This is... Observation Haki?"

Then Lu Li threw a punch at Ace, but Ace neither dodged nor avoided it, because he was a Logia-type Devil Fruit user and physical attacks were ineffective against him.

But then.

Bang! !

“Ugh!”

Ace screamed and was sent flying by Lu Li's punch.

Lu Li called out to the white-bearded man, "Old man with the white beard, is this alright?"

"Wait...wait a minute! I haven't lost yet!"

Ace struggled to his feet; he wasn't going to give up so easily.

Whitebeard laughed, "Alright, Ace, you've already lost. Lu Li didn't even use his full strength. Otherwise, do you think you'd still be standing here?"

"..."

Ace wasn't stupid; he clearly knew that Lu Li hadn't used his full strength in their fight.

That feeling made him feel as powerless as when he was fighting not just anyone, but the world's strongest man, Whitebeard.

"Ace... was he really defeated just like that?!"

The Whitebeard Pirates were all very surprised, as Ace was the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Wow! That was an amazing fight!"

Rin Tohsaka clapped her hands excitedly.

"Brother Ace is so strong, but Brother Ace, don't be discouraged. Brother Lu Li is different."

Erica and Kanae agreed, as they were actually quite surprised by Ace's strength.

Even from such a distance, they could clearly feel how terrifying the power of that raging flame was.

If this were the world of Godslayer, Ace's strength would have made him a Godslayer.

If Ace was so powerful, then how powerful must Whitebeard be?

No wonder my father didn't even respect the disobedient gods.

And that flame... is this the power of the Devil Fruit that Uncle was talking about?

Whitebeard glared at Ace and said in a deep voice, "You brat, now you know what it means to be outmatched and have a higher level of understanding."

"You guys are all so arrogant all the time. This time, I'll show you what a real master is."

"And Ace, I told you long ago not to rely too much on the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit. How did it turn out? You were helpless when you encountered someone who completely countered you, right?"

Ace could only obediently lower his head and listen to the reprimand.

The Flame-Flame Fruit is incredibly versatile, and Ace devoted most of his energy to developing its abilities.

He rarely trained in Haki; Whitebeard had repeatedly warned him not to over-rely on Devil Fruit abilities, but his rebellious nature meant he rarely heeded his advice...

As a result, Lu Li panicked when the Flame-Flame Fruit's power became ineffective against him.

When Lu Li heard Whitebeard reprimand Ace, he finally understood why Whitebeard, knowing that the flames would have no effect on him, still made him fight Ace.

So, old man, you're using me to teach Ace a lesson?

He couldn't help but roll his eyes.

But Whitebeard was right. Devil Fruit abilities are indeed powerful, but no one can become a strong person solely based on their Devil Fruit abilities.

As Kaido said, in this world, only Haki is the strongest.

Ace relied too much on his Devil Fruit powers, which ultimately led to him being outmaneuvered by Blackbeard.

Hmm? Blackbeard?

Lu Li suddenly remembered that Blackbeard was still on the Whitebeard Pirates' ship.

Soon, Lu Li's gaze swept across the area and spotted Blackbeard.

Should we tell Whitebeard that Blackbeard will betray us in the future?

After thinking about it, I decided against it. Even if something hadn't happened yet, Whitebeard would still have gone easy on me in the end, even if it did happen later.

Why should I become the bad guy?

Soon, the banquet resumed, this time not on the ship, but on the island. The island was more spacious, and they could even light a fire and barbecue, making it more relaxed and comfortable.

"Deputy Commander, let me toast you."

Ace approached Lu Li, raised his glass, and said, "Although I lost this fight, I accept the defeat wholeheartedly."

"No, that was just a joke from my father. I can't be the vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates. I don't even know when I'll be back here again."

"You brat, what are you saying? I, Whitebeard, am a man of my word. When have I ever joked about anything? Just because you're the vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates doesn't mean you're the vice-captain. No matter where you are, you're still the vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates. Or are you looking down on my Whitebeard Pirates?"

The white-bearded man glared at him, as if to say, "If you don't agree, it means you're looking down on me."

Marco, standing nearby, chuckled and said, "Today is Dad's 70th birthday, so just say yes."

Lu Li sighed helplessly, "Sigh! Fine!"

Chapter 83 Kaido of the Beasts

Upon hearing Lu Li's agreement, the white-bearded man broke into a bright smile.

"Gurarararar!! That's more like it!"

"And you brat, what's with that expression? I'm one of the Four Emperors of the New World, the vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates. Countless people want this position but can't get it, and you're still not happy?"

Lu Li was naturally unwilling. Perhaps the position of vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates was something that many people could only dream of but never achieve.

But for him, it's just a hassle.

Lu Li wore a wry smile.

This made Marco a little curious. Lu Li was indeed very strong, but it shouldn't be enough for his father to praise him so highly.

You have to understand, Dad isn't just anyone; he's known as the strongest man in the world.

Looking across the entire world, who wouldn't tremble at the mere mention of Whitebeard's name?

He also realized that Lu Li didn't seem to care much about the position of vice-captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, and wondered what the boy's true identity was.

It's simply illogical that someone with such immense strength is completely unknown in the world.

It's worth noting that 'Fire Fist' Ace, who was defeated by Lu Li, was also a renowned new generation pirate before becoming the 03rd Division Commander of the Whitebeard Pirates.

However, he had never heard of Lu Li's name before, and he was very curious about how his father knew these people.

As his father has gotten older and his health has gradually declined over the years, his father has been by his side almost 24 hours a day. He is certain that his father has never had any contact with outsiders.

However, it is clearly inappropriate to ask these questions now.

Whitebeard happily drank and ate meat.

He did have his own ulterior motives in making Lu Li the second-in-command of the Whitebeard Pirates.

He knows his own body; he never knows when he might be gone.

What he was most worried about were his sons.

His sons have enjoyed honors over the years because of him, but they have also borne risks.

While they were still alive, the World Government, the other Four Emperors, and some other major powers dared not take action against them.

Once I die, those guys will pounce on me like jackals and devour the Whitebeard Pirates completely.

Therefore, he needs a guarantee.

And this guarantee is Lu Li.

Lu Li was the most monstrous child he had ever seen. He was so young yet already possessed such strength. What would he be like when he grew up?

If he makes a name for himself in this world, Lu Li won't even need to show his face anymore, and his sons will be able to ensure his safety.

At that moment, a naval warship was anchored at sea in the distance from the island.

"Even at a time like this, Whitebeard is still concerned about making a show of himself."

Garp ate his donut with dissatisfaction. To be honest, he didn't pay much attention at first, but seeing this display of wealth, he couldn't help but feel a little envious.

"Mr. Garp, should I go...?"

Aokiji was also somewhat displeased. A group of pirates were so arrogantly celebrating their birthday in front of him, a Marine Admiral. This was simply disrespectful to the Marines. Even if they couldn't defeat Whitebeard, ruining his birthday banquet would be a good thing.

"Let them be. Whitebeard is not so easy to deal with. If he were, the World Government would have dealt with him long ago. The title of 'the strongest man in the world' is not just for show."

suddenly!

"Plop plop! Plop plop!"

The Den Den Mushi suddenly rang, and Garp answered it.

The Den Den Mushi's head transformed into the likeness of Sengoku from the Navy.

"What happened during the Warring States period?"

Sengoku said with a grim expression, "Garp! An informant reports that Kaido is heading towards Whitebeard's location! You and Aokiji need to be extra careful! Report back immediately if anything happens!"

"what?!"

Garp grinned upon hearing this: "That bastard Kaido, what's he doing causing trouble at a time like this?"
