Chapter 223 A sneak attack?
Chapter 223 A sneak attack?
After Deuce and the others left, Ace briefly repelled Gismonda, and was about to go looking for trouble with Guernica in anger.
Just as he was about to move, he was entangled by Gismonda again. He noticed that Guernica disappeared without a trace under the cover of the navy.
Ace could only vent all his anger on Gismonda in front of him. After all, this spider-head was also one of the culprits in the sneak attack.
Gismonda is not only good at using iron blocks, but also proficient in finger guns. He has practiced the Six Styles for many years and can use many extended skills with ease.
"Finger gun, tail stab!"
Using the characteristics of life return, Gismonda controls strands of hair to transform into fingers, and with the help of his own hands, he can launch dazzling multiple finger gun attacks in the blink of an eye.
The outburst of anger did not make Ace lose his mind, but instead made his mind inexplicably highly concentrated.
Faced with the overwhelming and fierce attack launched by the enemy, Ace's beast instinct and observation Haki were combined like never before.
"Rocket Punch!"
His fists, with the flames erupting from his elbows, created countless afterimages, and each punch accurately hit Gismonda's finger gun.
The bangs were continuous, and if you only listened to the sound, you would even think it was a machine gun firing continuously.
After a long fierce fight, Gismonda was the first to change his tactics. He continued to use his hair to shoot out finger guns, and his ten fingers formed into claws, shooting out countless cold lights in the air. He still wanted to win by quantity.
However, Ace also changed his fighting stance at this moment.
He clenched his fist, stepped forward, and rushed out like lightning.
There was no need for his brain to intervene too much. He moved like a swimming fish, leisurely yet swiftly and efficiently dodging and approaching the enemy in the gaps between attacks that were surging like waves.
"What?" Gismonda was shocked. He gritted his teeth, increased the intensity of his attack, and quietly stepped back, trying to keep Ace in the area where the attack was the strongest.
Unexpectedly, Ace changed his previous dodging action. He quickly lowered his body, suddenly increased his speed and crashed directly into Gismonda's powerful attack.
Before Gismonda could rejoice for even half a second over the enemy's self-destructive action, Ace suddenly looked up and locked his cold gaze on his eyes hidden under the mask.
In a flash, Ace raised his dark elbow and hit Gismonda's claws.
An irresistible force erupted instantly, and Ace's elbow strike, which gathered all his strength, not only knocked away the enemy's claws, but also caused Gismonda to lose balance briefly and stagger back.
As Ace leaped up, he hit Gismonda's chin with his elbow. The powerful attack caused countless cracks to appear on the crimson mask. Gismonda was knocked flying upwards and rolled in the air.
"Flame Ring: Ghost Burn!"
Ace roared in the air, swung his hand, and sprinkled the blazing flames that had condensed on his fist at some point towards the enemy in the air.
"Ah!" Gismonda suffered this fierce blow and was burned by the flames, screaming loudly. His body swayed in the air, looking extremely embarrassed.
When the enemy's slightly dark figure descended from the sky, Ace appeared again like a ghost.
He struck Gismonda in the abdomen with his right elbow, and lifted him up with his left claw as he flew forward.
"Divine Fire·Qin Yueyang!" Ace's left hand exploded instantly as if it was loaded with heavy artillery shells.
"Oh!"
Gismonda's screams were drowned out by the sound of the explosion, and he was blasted into the air once again.
Ace was still furious and had no intention of stopping.
"Go to hell, bastard!" He roared, raising his right hand high to the position facing his forehead, and astonishing heat quickly condensed in his palm, like a volcano about to erupt.
When Gismonda's powerless body fell in front of him, Ace allowed the bullets shot by the navy around him to penetrate his body.
His eyes were cold and he stretched out his hand with all his might. A shocking golden-white flame suddenly rushed towards Gismonda like a raging torrent.
The flames drew a blazing streak in the air, quickly engulfing Gismonda's figure.
"Flame Ring: Great Snake Nagi!"
"Boom! Boom boom!" A huge roar, accompanied by rolling heat waves, burned in all directions.
With Gismonda as the center, huge amounts of fire and astonishingly high temperatures spread out rapidly, and the surrounding forests and land were the first to collapse or catch fire.
At this moment, let alone Munda, even Mundo would be instantly burnt by the scorching temperature that seemed to have surpassed that of ordinary flames.
The navy who were originally firing to interfere around the battlefield were also shocked by this sudden horrific scene. They all avoided the rapidly spreading aftermath of the heat breath, fearing that they would be caught up in this devastating disaster.
However, Ace's angry attack had a wide impact, and many sailors suffered burns of varying degrees because they could not withstand the high temperature.
This sudden situation made Iska feel fortunate that the navy was far enough away from the battlefield where Ace and the other man were fighting, and no one dared to approach rashly, otherwise the consequences would be far more than just burns.
"See if you're still planning a sneak attack?"
Looking at the sailors who were rescuing each other and trying to find ways to put out the fire in the forest, Ace silently pressed down the brim of his hat and turned his gaze to Gion and others not far away.
After exchanging a glance with Marco and Cavendish, Ace nodded and his figure quickly disappeared in the flames.
"It's time for us to leave too." Cavendish and Marco, who were still confronting Gion and the other man, flew away from the battlefield together at high altitude, as if they had made an appointment.
Gion looked at Maynard, who was almost at the end of his strength, and then glanced at the naval forces that had not yet reorganized. He sighed and did not pursue him any further.
"Ha...it seems that your navy and those two unscrupulous people were unable to stop us from escaping."
Jerry took a deep breath and rubbed his chest with a grimace.
He was careless just now and was hit by Aokiji's punch. Fortunately, Jerry leaned sideways at the critical moment and avoided most of the power of the punch.
"Ice Ball!" The flat voice sounded again. Aokiji raised his hand and sent out several extremely cold ice pillars. If hit, the target would be immediately frozen in a huge ice ball.
"Come on!" Jerry complained in a low voice, but his hands and feet did not slow down at all.
While concentrating on maintaining the operation of his Observation Haki, he controlled the moisture in the air to destroy the flying icicles, and secretly accumulated strength, ready to dodge or counterattack at any time.
It has to be said that Aokiji's combat experience and on-the-spot reaction are both top-notch.
After discovering that Jerry had a move that could interrupt and destroy his own abilities, it didn't take Aokiji long to turn the tables.
While maintaining the premise of using domineering power to coordinate punches and kicks, Aokiji would occasionally use various freezing moves to disrupt Jerry's fighting rhythm.
After this, Jerry indeed became a lot more passive. After all, no matter what Aokiji said, the freezing moves, control and lethality of his fruit ability should not be underestimated.
If he was frozen in place accidentally, he might end up defeated, so Jerry must be extremely alert.
If you say that he can use his Observation Haki to predict the future to deal with it, Aokiji obviously knows how to counter it. His moves constantly switch between true and false, with both speed and range. Even if he can predict it, it does not mean that he can fight back without getting hurt.
"Oh!"
Seeing that the opponent had avoided his iron fist again, Aokiji launched another attack without giving up.
As they walked, he calmly said, "Really? You haven't realized yet that you are the main target of our and the World Government's operation this time, have you?"
"Huh!?" Jerry was stunned, with a big question mark popping up on his head.
Then, Jerry reacted and narrowly avoided the attack, and couldn't help but shouting: "Another sneak attack!?"
