Chapter 183 Ace is questioning his existence
Secondly, the terrifying speed displayed by the Marine in front of him was so astonishing that Ace had no time to make an effective response.
Just as he was in shock, he saw Ani raise his thick, powerful thigh high, and then, with lightning speed, unleash a powerful whip kick that lashed straight at Ace with a whistling sound.
At this moment, dodging was clearly a pipe dream. With no other choice, Ace could only hastily cross his arms in front of his chest, trying his best to withstand Annie's thunderous blow.
"Smack..."
With a crisp sound, an unparalleled and powerful force erupted! Ace was sent flying like a kite with a broken string, struck by the powerful whip kick.
"Rumble..."
Ace, who had been thrown out, finally crashed heavily into a towering tree not far away.
In an instant, sawdust flew everywhere, smoke billowed, and flames shot out. Finally, the entire tree burst into flames, a truly awe-inspiring sight.
Ace himself had been blown into flames.
At that moment, an amazing scene unfolded—the flames seemed to come alive, rapidly gathering and contracting, and a moment later, Ace's figure reappeared before everyone.
However, although Ace appeared to be unharmed, his slightly trembling arms said it all. Clearly, that attack had taken a toll on him.
At this moment, Ace's eyes narrowed tightly, revealing a hint of solemnity and vigilance.
He's not stupid at all; on the contrary, he's extremely intelligent. Especially in combat, he possesses powerful intuition and judgment.
Having withstood only one attack from Enni, he immediately assessed the disparity in their strength. Whether in speed or power, he was far inferior to the Marine before him.
If I continue to engage in close-quarters combat, I'll likely be defeated very soon. Therefore, the wisest choice now is to use ranged attacks.
Of course, while attacking, you must also ensure that the opponent cannot get close.
Otherwise, they will be suppressed just the same.
Fortunately, ranged attacks were precisely his forte. Thinking this, Ace took a deep breath, secretly gathering his inner energy, preparing to launch a long-range counterattack…
"fire punch!"
Ace let out a furious roar, and his aura suddenly surged.
In an instant, Ace transformed his arm into a massive, blazing flame of extremely high temperature. Then, with a sudden burst of strength, he extended his flaming arm rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, a giant fist formed from scorching flames appeared before Aini and slammed towards him with unparalleled power.
This move is not only incredibly fast, making it almost impossible to react; it also has an extremely wide coverage area, allowing it to attack a large number of targets in front of it simultaneously; most terrifying of all is its powerful and heart-stopping impact, which seems capable of destroying any obstacle in its path.
This was one of Ace's most reliable and effective moves.
Once, just ten miles away on the sea, Ace used only this move to easily sink five incredibly sturdy ships with a single punch.
This demonstrates just how astonishing and terrifying the power of this "Fire Fist" truly is.
However, Aini remained unusually calm and composed in the face of such a fierce and powerful attack.
He calmly extended his right hand forward, and instantly, an extremely dense black Armament Haki surged forth from his palm like a tidal wave.
The next moment, a jaw-dropping scene unfolded—the originally formless and intangible Armament Haki began to gradually transform into a huge and solid shield.
The shield was jet black, gleaming with a cold metallic luster, and looked indestructible.
After the shield blocked Ani, he was completely protected.
It's worth mentioning that Ani's idea to deal with Ace's attack in this way was actually inspired by Vice Admiral Kongming.
In Kongming's hands, Armament Haki is not just used to enhance one's own defense; it can also be further evolved into longsword attacks.
Since it can evolve into a longsword, it can naturally evolve into various other forms as well. It was for this reason that Aini had a flash of inspiration and created this unique Armament Haki giant shield.
His mastery of Armament Haki was sufficient for him to execute this move.
"Rumble..."
With a deafening roar, Ace's fiery fist, as hot as a volcanic eruption, hurtled towards him!
It must be admitted that the power of this Fire Fist move is terrifying.
When it struck the giant shield that Ani had conjured with Armament Haki, it failed to break through the shield's solid defenses in one fell swoop. However, the surging flames rushed past the sides of the shield like a flood bursting its banks.
In an instant, Aini felt the scorching heat.
Such terrifying temperature made even someone as powerful as Aini feel a chill run down his spine.
His eyebrows involuntarily twitched slightly as he thought to himself: If he didn't possess sufficient strength and almost abnormal physical attributes, there would probably be very few people who could survive under such astonishing heat.
At this moment, an indescribable anger welled up in Aini's heart.
Because he was misled by the sea breeze of his past life, he heard people say that the Flame-Flame Fruit was useless and that even dogs wouldn't bother with it. This greatly made people overlook the terrifying power of the Flame-Flame Fruit.
If you were standing here right now and witnessed the power of that fire fist, you'd probably all shut up.
Look, the raging flames sweeping across both sides of the giant shield did not stop there. They continued to wreak havoc, and wherever they passed, whether it was lush trees, rock as hard as iron, or solid and thick ground, nothing could withstand the devastation of this violent power.
In the blink of an eye, two bottomless trenches appeared on the ground, like wounds torn open in the earth, a shocking sight.
When everything returns to calm.
Around Aini, apart from the spot where he stood, there wasn't a single patch of ground left intact. It was as if the method had just undergone divine punishment...
Ani put away the giant shield made of Armament Haki, and when he looked at Ace again, he couldn't help but mutter, "Alright! I admit I underestimated you. Well then... I'll get serious now."
"hiss...."
When Ace saw that Enni had taken even the Fire Fist so easily, he gasped in surprise.
His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
Some even questioned the meaning of life.
