The battlefield was silent as they looked at Ace in the middle of a world of flames. The flames gently licked his skin, and Ace felt a warmth he couldn't explain in words alone.
It was like being encased in warm water when you bathed, but also like being showered with boiling water. Ace felt confused.
"A-ace is freed!"
"The son of the pirate king is free!"
The marine soldiers looked at Ace with fear, his fire fist still replaying in their minds like a constant reminder that he could kill them without raising a finger.
Boom!
The ground started shaking as Senogku threw the rubble off his body. His shirt was gone, and only his cloak of justice remained on his shoulders.
His body gleamed a dark light as he walked out of the rubble with only some skin burns. Sengoku managed to protect his body while looking into the future.
Sengoku narrowed his eyes as he looked at the soldiers around him, losing their morale. He knew this could no longer continue. It must end in their victory.
"Everyone! Don't worry. He might have managed to escape due to the Strawhat, but he won't leave this island!" Sengoku shouted to the Marines.
The marines looked at Sengoku in shock, and they felt their fighting spirit come back as he did not gain any noticeable injuries from Ace's attack.
"GU RA RA RA RA! Sengoku, don't be so sure." Whitebeard looked at Ace with worry. Sengoku stood beside him. Akainu was walking towards him, and Aokiji was holding Whitebeard back.
Kizaru was also watching over the battlefield, and Whitebeard knows that no matter how prideful and confident of his strength he is. He knows that Ace can't leave without him staying behind.
Ace would never be able to leave unless he stayed behind and fought the admirals to create a chance for Ace and the crew to escape. Whitebeard grinned and chuckled.
Boom!
Whitebeard jumped down from the Moby Dick, and a swirl of wind appeared around him and the ice. Everyone's attention from Ace was instantly diverted to him.
Crack!
Whitebeard surrounded the blade of his Murakumogiri and slashed the air with his full strength. The island started shaking as a massive vibrating slash was sent towards Sengoku.
"Whitebeard!..." Sengoku felt the threat from the slash and knew he was distracted and could not dodge the attack. Before the lash could hit him, a golden glow appeared on his body.
Boom!
The island started shaking as the slash collided with a golden palm covered in armament haki. A massive explosion erupted, throwing Ace and Luffy away from the explosion.
Ace's lower half turned into propellers of flames as he spun in the air and grabbed Luffy by the leg. His body was flying through the air towards the Moby Dick.
"I can't let you escape~," Kizaru appeared behind Ace, and Ace turned around with shock and regret. His haki is progressing fast, but he is nowhere near future sight yet.
Boom!
"Argh!" Ace coughed out blood as he was kicked in the chest. Kizaru's glowing foot, covered in haki, slammed into his torso, sending him flying faster.
Boom!
Whitebeard jumped into the air and caught the falling Ace and Luffy in his palm. He placed the two on the ground and turned to Kizaru. He jumped towards him with his blade ready.
"Oh, no~ I have to try," Kizaru said as he finally paid some attention to the battle. A ball of light condensed in his hand, and Kizaru shaped it into a sword.
Boom!
Murakumogiri and Kizaru clashed with a resounding explosion of force and will. The clouds in the sky vanished into nothing and condensed into rain.
Pew*
The sky turned even darker when it started raining. Ace watched as Kizaru and Whitebeard clashed. Whitebeard groaned as he pushed Kizaru back slightly.
His body is better than Kizaru's, but not much. Kizaru turned into photons and appeared behind Whitebeard before kicking him in the back.
Whitebeard groaned before swinging his arm in a back punch. Kizaru dodged and fired a point-blank explosion that Whitebeard managed to block with haki.
"Fire Fist!" A fist made from dark red flames and surrounded by red lightning shot at Kizaru. Ace grinned as he felt the heat and explosiveness of his fruit increase.
"Ohhh~" Kizaru turned to look at the fist, and a beam of light shot forward, piercing through the flames before exploding. Ace watched with narrowed eyes.
"Damn it... The thing I have is hax, and I am still out haxed." Ace was not worried. Through the use of his Devil Fruit, he had already found a flame to increase the power of his flames.
Ace did not use the flame fruit to its full potential. He did not go down the path of heat and compression. He went down the path of size. Increasing the size of his attacks but not in power.
Suddenly, Ace felt a bunch of ice spears shoot towards him. Luffy was behind him, in gear 2.
"Luffy, you should go now. I can handle the rest." Ace said as he turned to Luffy, who immediately refused. But Ace did not care for his permission and grabbed him.
"See you later." With that said, Ace picked Luffy and threw him towards the end of the island, where Boa Hancock was. Boa turned around, and her eyes opened wide.
Boom!
Luffy's face hit Oa's chest, and they fell onto the floor in a naughty pose. Luffy had his face in her chest while Boa's knee was pressing it to Luffy.
"L-Luffy-sama! A-Are you okay?" Boa asked without caring about Luffy's face being between her boobs. Luffy groaned as he stood up and looked at Ace.
Ace turned around, and his body formed holes that spears of ice passed through by a hhair's breadth The ice spears missed, but Aokiji was not only a one-trick pony.
"Blue Pheasant!" A massive bird flew at Ace, and wherever it passed, into a world of ice. Ace clenched his fist and closed his eyes in concentration.
How can he create fuel? HisDevil Fruitt allows him to create and control flame. But what is the fuel that he uses to create his flames?
The simple answer is stamina. No one uses Haki as an energy system to use Devil Fruit powers. They use stamina for the Devil Fruits.
Taking a deep breath, Ace started pumping his stamina into his fist, and when the flames increased in size, he started compressing them into the palm of his hand.
PHOOOO!!!
Flames lit up in Ace's fist, and the fire crackled harshly and unscrupulously as Ace pumped more stamina into the flames. He then covered his hand in Conqueror's haki.
Boom!
The ground under Ace slumped into a crater as a lightning bolt shot into the sky like a beam. Opening his eyes, Ace smirked before launching himself at Aokiji.
"Fire Fist!" A massive orange light washed over the island, and everyone started screaming as the skin on their bodies was burning from the heat. Ace groaned as he felt the stamina drain.
Boom!
The fire fist shouted out at the size of a normal fist, but Aokiji knew that was not the case. The ground under the flying fist burned into charcoal before reaching Aokiji.
"Ice... Age!"
