Clap, clap, clap..."
Lu Yu's body instantly released terrifying power, directly repelling all the surrounding flames and dust.
At the same time, he clapped his hands and walked out.
"Ace, such an attack should be the basic attack of the Mera Mera no Mi, right?!"
"The toy-like attack methods from before are not suitable for you at all."
"Are there deeper attacks?"
"I want to witness them properly!"
After Lu Yu finished speaking, a powerful force began to appear around his body.
His Rinnegan also began to spin wildly.
The next moment, a skeletal arm appeared behind him, holding a long blade that directly slashed down.
"Fire Fist!"
Ace was already somewhat over-exhausted at this point.
It should be known that the two Emperor Flame attacks just now were very physically demanding.
Now, with Lu Yu's monstrous attack style, Ace didn't dare to underestimate him and directly met it with Fire Fist.
However, the flames were directly cut open by the long blade in the skeleton's hand.
Facing this terrifying attack, Ace had no choice but to retreat.
"Tsukuyomi!"
Lu Yu raised his hand, and instantly a tall figure appeared in front of Ace.
"Boom!"
Before Ace could react, Tsukuyomi's fist had already swung over.
It directly sent Ace flying.
"It's over."
At this moment, the direction Ace was falling was exactly where Lu Yu stood.
Lu Yu horizontally held the Ama no Murakumo in his hand, and black Armament Haki instantly wrapped around it.
"Damn it, you really want to kill me?!"
"Big Brother, no!"
"I was wrong!"
Just as Lu Yu was about to make his move, Ace conceded.
What a joke, what else was there to wait for in such a situation if not to concede?!
Could it be that he had to be severely beaten by Lu Yu before conceding?
At that time, the result would be no different; he would still be the younger brother, and he would still be beaten.
Clearly, this method seemed very unprofitable in Ace's eyes.
"Bang!"
At this moment, Tsukuyomi appeared at Ace's location, directly catching Ace and placing him on the ground.
Then, it stood behind Lu Yu.
"Is this also your ability?"
Looking at Tsukuyomi behind Lu Yu.
Although it was in human form, Ace's Observation Haki could clearly perceive that it should not be a person.
There was also Susanoo on the ship, which had the same aura as Tsukuyomi.
This was also why Ace didn't mention Lu Yu and him fighting together.
"My Guardian Imperial Arm, Tsukuyomi."
"Alright, the battle just now should have explained the problem, right?"
"Regardless of combat power or age, I am the Big Brother!"
"You'd best tell Luffy too, otherwise I'll have to beat him up."
Lu Yu said with a smile.
"Hahaha... that kid Luffy..."
"By the way, if you have such powerful strength, why didn't you show it before?"
"If I had known you were so strong from the beginning, and you came out to sea with me, then we might have been able to defeat Dad!"
Ace also said with a smile.
"No, you should still be Whitebeard's son."
"However, even if you are not on my ship and not one of my crew members,"
"You can still say on the high seas, 'My brother is Lu Yu!'"
"Lu Yu, the Captain of the Dragon Hunting Pirates, is my brother!"
Lu Yu said with a smile.
After hearing Lu Yu's words, Ace couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.
This guy's narcissism was truly a bit too much.
The two laughed and then returned to the Extremely Evil Battleship together.
"Ace, your development direction has a big misconception!"
Just as the two had arrived on the ship, Lu Yu said directly.
This made Luo Erji, who was carrying things and passing by, also stop.
Because all along, Lu Yu had not displayed his Devil Fruit ability.
And it seemed he wasn't a Devil Fruit ability user either.
Because Lu Yu was not afraid of seawater at all.
Therefore, Luo Erji's development was all self-exploration.
And now, Lu Yu seemed to be about to talk about development issues, so Luo Erji also stopped his steps.
"Misconception!?"
"I think it's pretty good; it has greatly improved my strength."
"It's just that I seem to have hit a bottleneck now."
"Several of Emperor Flame's moves simply cannot continue."
"Moreover, they consume too much stamina to support my combat."
Ace said somewhat helplessly.
This was indeed the case; Ace had encountered problems in developing his Devil Fruit.
However, if it were anyone else saying it, Ace would only dismiss it as nonsense.
But when Lu Yu said it, it was different.
After all, Lu Yu had been talking about his Devil Fruit ability since he started fighting him.
He still adhered to his previous viewpoint even now.
This showed that Lu Yu truly knew something about the problems in his Devil Fruit ability's development.
"Your Fruit is the Logia Mera Mera no Mi."
"To put it simply, it's a form of control and enhancement over flames!"
"However, you've spent too much effort on control."
"You haven't done enough in terms of enhancement."
"The power of flames can be expressed in two points: the first is temperature!"
"You must have enough temperature to cause enough damage."
"The second point is scorching, because after having a powerful temperature, scorching is needed to cause damage."
Lu Yu told Ace all of his understanding of the Mera Mera no Mi.
In fact, this was not just Lu Yu's own view, but the view of the vast majority of 'Hai Mi' (One Piece fans).
Lu Yu was fortunate enough to come to this world, so he naturally needed to tell Ace all of these things.
"Temperature and scorching?"
"My Emperor Flame's temperature is already high enough."
"As for scorching, my Fire Dharma can also adhere to the opponent and even cause explosions!"
Ace said somewhat confused.
These things were relatively basic, weren't they?
Moreover, Ace had also thought of this point during his development.
Now that Lu Yu said it, it seemed as if something different had emerged.
"Indeed, you have developed both of these."
"But, more often, you pursue the splendor and aesthetics of your moves."
"It can even be called violent aesthetics, perhaps!"
"But, Ace, have you ever thought about it?"
"In battle, besides aesthetics, you need many other things."
"That is, how to completely kill the enemy you are currently facing."
"At this point, you need to have absolute suppression before you can consider so-called aesthetics."
Lu Yu said slowly.
After all, Ace's experiences on the high seas had been too smooth so far.
Even Whitebeard, after defeating him, valued his ability and wanted him to become his son.
After that, Ace, bearing the identity of Whitebeard's son and the Second Division Captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, began to act on the high seas.
With such an identity, even some beings who could defeat Ace would not want to fight him.
This made Ace a bit overconfident.
That's right, the false sense of security brought by his identity made Ace lose his motivation to move forward.
Ace recalled carefully.
It had been several years since he became the Second Division Captain of the Whitebeard Pirates.
However, his strength... had not improved much.
Not to mention any breakthrough improvements.
