One Piece: Fire Emperor Arrives

In the sky above the Grand Line, 10,000 meters away, there is a magical place called Sky Island.

The sky island is located at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and the air is thin. It is difficult for normal people to breathe after getting up there. However, after adapting, physical strength will improve quickly if you exercise in this environment. More importantly, at an altitude of 10,000 meters, The temperature increase of the Shashao Fruit will reach the maximum bonus every day.

If Ace can practice on an empty island for a year, his physique, dominance, and fruit abilities will be greatly improved.

Sky Island, for Ace at this stage, can be said to be the most ideal holy land for spiritual practice.

"It would be the most ideal way to trick Rayleigh into flying to the sky to teach me how to practice domineering." Ace pressed the hat on his head, thinking about how he could trick Rayleigh into flying to the sky after meeting him. Dao taught him how to practice.

…

Half a month later, the flame temperature of Ace's burning fruit increased to 640 degrees, and his physical fitness also improved a lot. After all, hanging in the sun at an altitude of 3,000 meters for an hour every day can be regarded as a kind of strenuous training for physical ability.

After half a month of sailing, the Spade Pirates' ship finally arrived at the coast of the Shampoo Islands.

The Chambord Islands are a rare playground on the Grand Line. As soon as the ship docked, a group of 'animals' who had been waiting on the ship for nearly a month couldn't wait to rush in to restaurants, casinos, bars, happy streets and other places. .

After a while, only Ace and a few members of the Spade Pirates were left on the ship.

"Gambi, Wores, you guys should go play together and watch those bastards while I go to meet someone." Ace said to the people around him.

"Who are you going to see without us accompanying you?" Gambi asked.

"No, I can just go by myself." Ace waved his hand and said with a smile, "If nothing else happens, he should become my master."

"Master?" When Gumby and the others heard Ace's words, they all showed puzzled expressions, but they didn't say anything. They just asked, "Okay, how long are we going to stay here?"

"It depends on the situation. If everything goes well, it can be done in a day or two." Ace thought for a while and said.

He was really not sure. After all, that guy Rayleigh often went out, and after losing a bet, he would do things like deliberately being auctioned off as goods, and then robbing the person who bought him. He was very sinister. Ace wasn't sure when he would be found.

"Wait for me here. No matter if I find someone or not, I will come here to meet you." Ace said.

"Okay." Several people nodded, and then left in different directions.

"Let's go to Xia Qi's bar first. I remember it seems to be in Area 13. Let's go there first." Ace jumped off the boat, checked the direction, and walked towards Area 13.

When Ace came to 'Xia Qi's Blackmail Bar', Xia Qi was dealing with several pirates who wanted to have a meal at the bar.

That group of pirates was not weak, and the captain's bounty was over 50 million, but it was still not enough in front of a retired big pirate like Xia Qi. A dozen pirates were eliminated by Xia Qi in two or three strokes, and he also paid Extort all the property from these pirates.

Well, the style fits the name of the ‘Ripoff’ bar very well.

After cleaning up the gang of pirates, Xia Qi simply threw them out of the bar. At that moment, Ace walked in. Xia Qi immediately showed a professional smile and said, "Brother, do you want a drink?"

"Let's have a glass of rum." Ace pulled out a chair at the bar, sat on it, then put the hat on his back, looked at Xia Qi, and said with a smile, "I'm here to find someone."

Xia Qi looked at Ace, poured him a glass of rum, then took out a cigarette and lit it. After taking a sip, she said slowly: "The natural person with the ability to burn fruits, the supernova kid with a bounty of over 100 million. Brother, it only took half a year to break into the new world as a super newcomer, why are you here?"

"Has it already exceeded 100 million?" Ace asked softly.

"Yes, your bounty increased from 55 million to 155 million seven days ago." Xia Qi took out a reward order, placed it in front of Ace, and said, "After eating the Shao Shao fruit, I defeated You have become a potential rear admiral in the navy, and you have clearly made a name for yourself in the new world, why do you want to come back to the Chambord Islands?"

After defeating Vergo, Ace's bounty increased directly by 100 million, and now the bounty is 155 million.

Although Ace has not done anything big at this time, his super natural ability, such as defeating Vergo and eating the Sha Shao Fruit, is enough to attract the attention of the world government.

Being noticed by the World Government means that his identity may be exposed at any time, and he will face an endless pursuit unless he follows his original trajectory and joins Whitebeard.

There are only two choices before him now. If he doesn't want to be a son, he must speed up and become stronger, and at least become strong enough to talk to the four emperors on an equal footing.

"Time is getting increasingly urgent." Ace whispered, then looked at Xia Qi and smiled: "Senior Xia Qi, I'm here to see senior Rayleigh. Is he here?"

Hearing Ace's words, Xia Qi glanced at him, her expression became serious, and said, "I actually know that old man. Are you here to seek revenge? Or repay a favor?"

Rayleigh's seclusion in the Chambord Islands is not a secret to the big forces at sea. In the absence of conflict, no one will rashly provoke this 'legend', not even the World Government, but like Ace It would be interesting for rookie pirates to know that Rayleigh is hiding here.

Rayleigh had been living in seclusion on the Shampoo Islands for twenty years. During this period, it was not that no one came to see him. Except for old friends like Shanks, the others came either to seek revenge or to repay a favor, so Xia Qi I wasn't surprised that Ace came to Rayleigh, I was just a little interested in his purpose.

"Friendly reminder, if it's for repaying a favor, please prepare more Baileys. If it's for revenge, it's still too late for you to escape." Xia Qi took a puff of cigarette and said slowly: "Although I haven't done anything for a long time, the old man is Very strong, well... you are probably a million times stronger now."

"You misunderstood, I'm not here to cause trouble." Ace shook his head with a wry smile and said, "You know my last name, right?"

"Yeah, I know." Xia Qi clicked on the reward order on the table and said, "It says, Portcas D. Ace, a very rare surname."

"Why, does your last name have something to do with the old man?"

"No, no." Ace waved his hand quickly and said, "The surname Portcas has nothing to do with Senior Rayleigh, because it is my mother's surname."

"Although subconsciously I don't want to mention this name, but now, I can't care so much." Ace smiled bitterly and said: "Portcas is my mother's surname, and my father's name is Roger. .”

"Gol D. Roger."
