----------
Three days passed in a flash.
Near the entrance of Onigashima, waves surged.
The Spade Pirates braved the wind and waves, quickly sailing towards Onigashima.
"We finally found it, Onigashima!"
Looking at Onigashima ahead, the Spade Pirates were filled with fighting spirit. After searching for three days, they finally found their target.
The Great Pirate with the title of "Strongest Creature" was on the island before them. As long as they defeated him, they would become famous throughout the world!
"Those kidnapped young people must also be on the island!"
"Don't be careless, ahead is hell!"
"Hahahaha, haven't we been like this all the way here!"
The pirates smiled, looking at Captain Ace who was sitting on the bow of the ship, their eyes full of excitement.
"Captain Ace!"
"Let's have a big fight!"
Ace stood up, his fists meeting his palms!
"Bring the ship closer!"
"Oh oh oh!!!"
The pirate ship advanced at full speed, quickly passing through the torii gate at the entrance and sailing into Onigashima. However, the empty port left them a bit confused.
"What's going on, is there no one here?"
The Spade crew jumped off the ship, looking at the empty port square, question marks appearing above their heads.
Is this really the Four Emperor's main base?
Not even a single person could be seen. The defenses were too lax!
Just then, a drunken fellow walked out of the castle, still holding a wine bottle, drinking as he walked.
"Hmm?"
The fellow saw the Spade crew, was confused for less than three seconds, took a gulp of wine, and completely ignored Ace's group.
"Haha, is he drunk?"
"How could anyone come here?"
"Hiccup~~"
The Spade crew looked at each other.
"Hey!"
Ace grabbed the fellow, his gaze fierce as he questioned him.
"Tell me, where is Kaido?!"
"Kaido~ hiccup~~"
The fellow let out a loud burp, the strong smell of alcohol almost making Ace faint, but this also made the fellow realize something.
The person in front of him wasn't an illusion!
"Enemy attack!!!"
A shrill cry echoed through the square.
The Spade crew's expressions changed instantly.
"Ace!"
"Hahaha, let's cause a ruckus!"
Ace threw the fellow aside, flames lighting around him.
"I'll attract attention, you go find the imprisoned hostages!"
"Understood!"
Skull Dome, third floor.
"It's really noisy outside."
Daichi walked out of the banquet hall and looked down at the square, immediately spotting the young man covered in flames.
"Fire Fist" Ace.
He was causing destruction!
Yamato quickly came to Daichi's side, excitedly leaning on the railing and looking down, her eyes sparkling when she saw Ace.
It's the real person!
"Is he Fire Fist?"
"That's right."
Daichi grinned, carrying his greatsword, and leaped down from the third floor!
In the center of the square, Ace, who was in combat, changed his expression and quickly leaped backward repeatedly to create distance.
The next second, a greatsword over two meters long was plunged into the spot where he had been, followed by a massive figure descending from the sky.
"Boom!"
Under the powerful impact, the ground within a dozen meters was completely shattered!
Looking at the burly figure in the smoke, Ace's expression gradually became serious.
This person is strong!
"Who are you? State your name!"
"Shouldn't I be asking that!"
Daichi slowly walked out of the smoke, looking down at Ace.
"State your name, brat!"
"My name is Ace, and I'm here to take Kaido's head."
Ace replied coldly, his fist lighting with scorching flames.
"You are Kaido?"
"..."
Daichi was silent for a few seconds.
Why is this kid like Luffy? He came to Onigashima without even knowing what Kaido looked like. What about his crew? They should have reminded him.
However, this isn't bad either.
He also wanted to fight with all his might.
Daichi laughed heartily.
"Worororo, it's me!"
"..."
Ace's pupils contracted, and his entire body immediately burst into flames.
Full power!
However, Daichi turned and left.
"Let's go somewhere else, I don't want my home to be destroyed."
"..."
Ace hesitated for a moment, then followed Daichi.
Soon, the two arrived at the back mountain.
Daichi threw his greatsword aside, then tore off his coat, revealing muscles even more impressive than a bodybuilding champion's.
Win!!!
Muscles roaring!
"Worororo!!!"
Daichi let out a battle-cry like laugh, his entire body's muscles tensed and used force, charging towards Ace like a rampaging war chariot.
The ground trembled!
"What terrifying physique!"
Ace's eyes subtly changed.
Undoubtedly, that massive physique contained extremely terrifying power. If he were hit head-on, the consequences would be unimaginable.
But he... didn't want to retreat!
"Oh oh oh!!!"
Ace pushed off with his legs, his body shooting towards Daichi like an arrow released from a bowstring.
"Good timing!"
Daichi laughed heartily, clenching his fist, dark Haki wrapping around it.
The moment the distance closed, the two roared and launched their attacks, a burning Fire Fist colliding with a Haki iron fist!
"Boom!"
Flames surged and spread, scorching heatwaves swept out, crushing everything near the two!
"Worororo, refreshing!"
Daichi laughed heartily.
Feeling the scorching heat coming from the surface of his fist, even with Haki defense, he still felt as if he was about to melt.
But the power was a bit lacking!
Along with Groudon, his muscles also grew!
Daichi used force again, small snake-like twisted veins bulging on the surface of his arm, and violent power erupted with it!
"Get back!"
"What?!"
Ace's expression changed drastically, his punching arm bending uncontrollably, followed by a huge iron fist appearing before his eyes.
Can't block it!
At the critical moment, Ace crossed his arms in front of him, and with a "bang," his body flew backward like a meteor!
"Boom!!!"
Flames shot into the sky!
The next moment, Ace leaped out of the flames, rising to a height of over a dozen meters, his right fist completely transformed into the shape of fire.
"Fire Fist!!!"
A massive wave of flames surged down, instantly covering Daichi!
"Boom!"
The earth shattered, and fire soared into the sky!
In just one exchange, the battle entered a fierce stage.
Ace landed on the ground, staring intently at the burning fire. He knew very well that the opponent wouldn't fall so easily.
Soon, a red monster, over five meters tall and twice its previous size, stood in the center of the flames, seemingly completely unaffected by the fire.
Ace's pupils trembled.
"Is this your true form?!"
"Worororo!"
The transformed Daichi looked down at Ace, his greedy eyes as if he had seen a rare treasure, wanting to possess him.
What an unexpected gain!
Daichi slowly raised his right arm, looking at the special patterns on the surface of his shell. The outermost dark patterns had now turned orange-red, and were growing brighter.
Just like gradually heating magma!
Such a characteristic only appears in the strongest primal form, meaning Groudon was absorbing natural energy, and the effect was hundreds or even thousands of times greater than when he had eaten a SMILE fruit before!
Moreover, this natural energy was extremely compatible with Groudon's attributes. The small Groudon inside him was currently cheering excitedly.
And the source of this natural energy...
Logia-type Flame-Flame Fruit!
Daichi stared at Ace, greedily licking the corners of his mouth.
"Worororo, Splendid!!!"
