At the same time, the two people on the isolated island stood facing each other.
"Lu Yu, I know you must have made significant progress."
"And, you even have a decent Dragon Hunting Pirates."
"But if you think you can easily defeat me, you're still far from it!"
As Ace spoke, a ball of flame directly ignited in his hand.
Although it was just a ball of flame, its temperature was so high that it even distorted the surrounding air.
One can imagine how high the temperature was.
An ordinary person's body simply couldn't withstand such a temperature.
"The power of the Mera Mera no Mi?"
"Ace... let me see how powerful your Fire Fist is."
After Lu Yu finished speaking, he also drew his Ama no Murakumo.
A single slash, as Lu Yu drew his long blade, directly cut down all the surrounding vegetation.
Instantly, the battlefield became much wider.
"A swordsman?!"
"I wonder who is stronger between you and Vista of our Whitebeard Pirates."
"However, you will definitely lose and then come with me to my Dragon Hunting Pirates."
"At that time, we'll know the answer."
After Ace finished speaking, he directly raised his hand, forming a pistol gesture.
"Fire Gun!"
"Du du du..."
Then, he directly released his ability.
Countless flames transformed into bullets, shooting out explosively.
Their speed, power, and penetrating force were all terrifying.
"Rinnegan!"
Lu Yu activated his Rinnegan immediately.
Under the dynamic vision, the trajectories of these flame bullets all entered Lu Yu's eyes.
With the assistance of Observation Haki, Lu Yu immediately straightened his body.
He slowly walked towards Ace.
The flame bullets seemed to deliberately avoid Lu Yu's body, all passing by his sides.
"You... you didn't change your movement path at all?"
"Fire Fist!"
Ace instantly released his Fire Fist.
A powerful flame directly rushed towards Lu Yu.
This was completely different from the size of the Fire Gun.
It was like a train-sized fist, rushing directly over.
Lu Yu's body moved to the side in a peculiar way.
After dodging the Fire Fist, he immediately rushed towards Ace.
"Firefly · Fire Daruma!"
Just as Lu Yu was about to attack Ace, sparks instantly floated up all around.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
Then, a huge explosion sound came, and Lu Yu was also engulfed in dust and smoke.
"Hey, hey, hey, you weren't blown to death by me, were you?"
Ace took a few steps back, then said with a smile.
At the same time, Ace was also shocked.
Although he hadn't experienced Lu Yu's attack yet.
But just based on the movement technique and speed Lu Yu had just displayed.
Ace had already confirmed that Lu Yu was no longer the Lu Yu who needed their protection.
His strength, even if not as good as his, was not far off.
Moreover, if he was slightly careless, there might even be big problems.
At that time, if he lost, it would really be difficult!
"Indeed, your attack is a bit weak!"
"I say, Ace, how have you been developing the Mera Mera no Mi after getting it?!"
"Is this temperature meant to warm me up?!"
"The Mera Mera no Mi needs temperature, burning, scorching, adhesion!"
"What are you developing now?!"
Lu Yu slowly walked out of the dust and smoke.
Let alone being injured, not even a speck of dust clung to him.
During the explosion just now, just as Lu Yu said, it was simply like warming him up.
"I say, Lu Yu, we've just started fighting, isn't it a bit too arrogant for you to say that?!"
"Fire Fist · Great Explosion!"
Ace was completely provoked by Lu Yu's words.
Moreover, since Lu Yu had no problems with his previous attack, he could now unleash his full power.
Without any reservations, he instantly released the advanced version of Fire Fist, Great Explosion!
After a Fire Fist was launched, it instantly exploded just as it was about to reach Lu Yu.
This could block Lu Yu's strange movements.
Of course, the impact and heat of the explosion could also cause great damage to the opponent.
"Ace, when fighting me, your Observation Haki needs to be active at all times!"
"Otherwise, you might be beheaded by me!"
Just as Ace was about to check on Lu Yu's condition, a voice came from behind him.
Then, Lu Yu's long blade slashed out, directly cutting Ace's neck.
Fortunately, when Ace heard Lu Yu's voice, he immediately elementalized.
So, what Lu Yu had just cut was merely flames.
For Ace, it caused no damage at all.
However, that sense of threat made sweat appear on Ace's forehead now.
"Lu Yu, are you serious?!"
"Armament Haki, you really wanted to kill me just now?!"
"If I hadn't elementalized in time, I would have been killed by you right now!"
Ace roared.
Lu Yu, meanwhile, picked his ear.
"Didn't you not die?"
"Alright, let's continue!"
"Ace, I trust your strength very much."
"And, I even warned you, if you can't elementalize immediately in such a situation, you deserve to die!"
Lu Yu said with a smile.
After hearing Lu Yu's words, the expression on Ace's face became somewhat serious.
He had previously thought that Lu Yu was just a little stronger now.
But after truly fighting, Ace found that Lu Yu's power completely exceeded his imagination.
His fighting style, control over his own power, and even his grasp of the opponent.
When did this guy, Lu Yu, become so powerful?!
"Then next, I won't hold back!"
"Get ready to face my wrath!"
After Ace finished speaking, his body instantly transformed into flames, directly shooting towards him.
The surroundings were instantly covered in flames, and even the dirt and stones on the ground began to melt and burn.
It must be said that Ace's development of the Mera Mera no Mi's abilities was indeed not just about flashy attacks.
He also truly developed some of its characteristics.
This current temperature barely met the temperature Lu Yu approved of.
However, if it was only like this, it still posed no threat to Lu Yu.
"Flame Emperor · Cage!"
"Flame Emperor · Kill in the Cage!"
Ace quickly flew into the air, then clasped his hands together, releasing two forms of his strongest attack, Flame Emperor!
"Boom!"
The terrifying explosion instantly blew away all the surrounding large trees.
The shockwave even caused considerable waves in the sea.
"Are these two really brothers?!"
"Why does it feel like when they fight, they're like enemies?!"
Kuina said with some surprise.
The fighting style between these two initially seemed like a sparring match between two brothers.
But from the moment Lu Yu's unwavering slash began, their fight changed.
Now it was even more like they had some life-and-death feud, fighting without any regard for consequences.
"Kuina, I remember you also have that ability called Observation Haki, right?"
"Captain is fine."
"And..."
Najeta didn't continue speaking.
After hearing Najeta's words, Kuina also unleashed her Observation Haki.
At this moment, Lu Yu walked out of the explosion step by step.
Around Lu Yu, there was an invisible shield, enveloping him.
The explosion just now had not affected him in the slightest.
It was even the same as at the very beginning, not even a speck of dust had touched him.
However, at this moment, Lu Yu began to smear some dust and carbon residue from the ground onto his body and face.
What is this all about?!
