131: Chapter 131 Ace: Luffy, how come you can use fire too?"Having a girlfriend really lets you do whatever you want.If you're not happy about it, then keep it to yourself.Anyway, you can't beat me.If you really can't, find one yourself.Don't be a third wheel here," Luffy retorted without even turning his head.Upon hearing this, Ace's smile froze.Flames erupted from his hands as he smugly said.
"Hey Luffy, it's really windy today, I couldn't hear what you said.Why don't you say it again?"
Luffy rolled his eyes, put Nami down, and walked straight to Ace's side.He grabbed Ace's flaming hand and, to Ace's astonishment, extinguished the flames.
"Don't forget, I can use Haki.Don't think that eating a Devil Fruit will make you stronger than me."
"(ˉ▽￣～) Tch~~, I thought I could surpass you just because I ate the Flame-Flame Fruit," Ace said with a displeased look, but then the two brothers hugged each other tightly again.
"Long time no see, Ace/Luffy."
"Oh right, this is my girlfriend, her name is Nami.Come here, Nami, this is my brother Ace," Luffy said proudly, pulling Nami who was standing behind him.
"Y-you.hello, I'm Nami, nice to meet you," Nami said, fidgeting nervously with her hands.
"Haha, don't be so nervous.By the way, how's my brother?Did he cause you any trouble?" Ace laughed heartily.
"No, no, Luffy is very good to me and hasn't caused me any trouble at all," Nami was infected by Ace's hearty laughter and started chatting with him with a relaxed expression.It was then that Ace noticed the scar on Luffy's chest and asked in surprise.
"Luffy, you're injured?Who's so powerful that they could hurt you?"
"I may be awesome, but I'm not invincible.I was just careless this time.The next time I meet him, it will be his death day.By the way, Ace, what are you doing here?" Luffy asked knowingly.
"My subordinate, Marshall D.Teach, killed his own comrades for a Devil Fruit called the Dark-Dark Fruit.Now he has escaped from the ship, and I am here to arrest him.However, I heard that a straw-hatted pirate in Drum Kingdom killed the former king there.I guessed it was you, but when I got there you were already gone.The locals said you went to Alabasta, so I rushed here." When Ace mentioned Blackbeard, his originally sunny face was instantly filled with murderous intent.
"Are you sure you can handle it?I've heard that the Dark-Dark Fruit has the most vicious power, possessing the infinite gravity of a black hole, and the ability to attract Devil Fruit users from a distance, as well as temporarily disable them by touching them with your hands, regardless of their Devil Fruit type.If you use your Devil Fruit power against him, you'll probably have a hard time winning.Why don't you stay here with me for a while, and I'll give you a good lesson, so I don't have to go and rescue you if you get captured?" Luffy said casually, trying to see if he could persuade Ace.Unfortunately, Ace's mind was now made up.
Ace smiled confidently, his entire body enveloped in flames, and said with a hint of smugness, "Don't underestimate me, Luffy.I'm a fire-man who ate the Flame-Flame Fruit.I.Holy crap."
Before Ace could finish speaking, a flame appeared out of thin air in Luffy's hand.When Luffy's flame approached Ace's flame, Ace clearly felt his flame being devoured by Luffy's.
"Luffy, how come you can use fire too?" Ace swallowed hard, asking in confusion.
