"Wind can also extinguish fire."
In Logia-type battles, aside from Haki and Seastone, another restrictive thod exists—the counteraction of elental attributes. Enel’s lightning can’t hit so rubber man, Crocodile’s sand fears water, and fla can be pierced by magma.
Iscariot’s Wind Blade can also harm the body of fla; wind can fuel fire, but it can extinguish flas too. When the wind is strong enough, the fla can be directly blown out.
The Scizor, moving at high speed, generates internal heat, and its insect wings are powerful cooling fans. Iscariot now uses this ability, compressing the wind through the gaps in the carapace to form the Wind Blade that can harm the fla’s body.
This thod speeds up her cooling process, extending the duration of battle.
Even if her attack lacks Haki, it can still injure Ace’s body.
The rapidly flowing air blade approaches Ace’s neck, leaving a scarlet streak there.
"Rookies nowadays are increasingly troubleso every year. I advise you to surrender; although Rami’s poison can be cured, if ti drags on, there will be side effects."
Whether it’s lethal toxins or anesthetics, they are microorganisms within Rami’s body, forming a delicate balance under her control.
But upon entering the enemy’s body, no problem arises initially. Over ti, a new variant may erge, and even Rami doesn’t know.
But, of course, this ti span is still quite long, barely an hour has passed, so Iscariot’s words are more of a bluff.
Though Hundred Beasts lack Logia-type users, large-scale elental attacks have been frequent in past training.
Everyone on the Sea has different fighting styles, but they generally fall into several broad categories. At Hundred Beasts, whether it’s body techniques or elents, they have top-ranked experts. These newcors have gone through substantial training.
Fire Fist Ace is famous for his Fire Fist, yet he’s never used it, and his shown prowess differs from other Logia-type abilities, as if sothing is restraining him.
Just then, a string of cannon fire sounds; the surrounding Navy starts attacking them.
The Navy catching pirates is typical, but the reason for these Navy’s presence here is sowhat unusual.
Even when landing in illicit zones, news of pirates landing on the Shampodi Islands isn’t hidden from the local garrison, though initially, they took no action.
Since the Great Pirate Era began, Shampodi’s garrison mission gradually shifted from safeguarding the island to protecting the World Governnt and World Nobility, even spawning the illicit zone as a buffer.
The Shampodi Islands lie under Marinfanto’s nose, where an Admiral can quickly arrive. If they cleared this place, Shampodi would be like the G-1 Branch instead of this chaotic state.
But World Governnt policies led to this current situation.
Pirates passing through, as long as they cause no major disturbances, had the Navy on Shampodi effectively turning a blind eye.
They rushed here now because of the slum gangs.
Iscariot’s people showed no rcy towards them; these people bullied the weak but feared the strong, reporting to the Navy instead of acting.
Normally, Shampodi’s Navy wouldn’t mobilize due to such matters; at least the current commanding officers wouldn’t choose so. As long as World Governnt Nobles were unhard, they consistently let pirates exist within the illicit zones.
Yet their promotions required military rit, and no way was better for the Navy to accrue rit than catching pirates. Rather than direct conflict, they preferred benefiting after pirates clashed among themselves.
As long as they capture pirates, no one cares how, it’s considered an effortlessly achieved rit.
Even with external assistance, the upper ranks would emphasize the Navy’s achievent.
Thus, upon hearing about a clash between Hundred Beasts’ squad and this year’s Super Rookies, they wasted no ti surrounding the area.
Whether it’s mutual injury or a one-sided triumph, for them, it’s an opportunity.
Engaging Sea Emperor’s subordinates isn’t easy, but it doesn’t an the Navy is entirely timid. If they get a chance, they’ll choose to arrest, and the resultant issues aren’t their concern.
Even if a larger conflict ensues, that’s the upper managent’s problem; they continue to receive tangible military rits.
But this ti, the Navy’s leader was sowhat hasty. Seeing both parties equally matched, he wanted to capture them all—be it the Super Rookie or the Hundred Beasts mbers, either would be considered an exceptional achievent for him, perhaps even earning a transfer away from this dreadful location.
The Navy has benevolent mbers concerned about civilians, but this officer clearly isn’t among them. With the slum not worrying him about affecting nobility, he directly ordered cannon fire.
...
The widespread cannon fire affected not only Iscariot and Ace but also Iscariot’s subordinates, the children they led away, and those who originally lived here.
"Fire Fist!"
After completely transforming into fla and flashing aside, Ace’s arm also transforms into fla, extending toward the distance, the massive flaming fist streaking across the sky, intercepting the Navy’s fired shells mid-air.
Under the fla’s impact and scorching, the shells are detonated in the sky, sparing the ordinary people below from harm.
"I say, we are all pirates, let’s temporarily ceasefire and deal with these Navy first, shall we?"
"You’re quite daring."
The minimal requirent for New World pirates’ officers is mastering Haki; though Supre King is talent-based, Armant and Observation Haki can be trained to be quite proficient.
Facing opponents without Haki, they can seemingly predict the future. Ace’s Fire Fist lies within Iscariot’s perception range, and because she sensed its attack direction, she didn’t stop him.
When she told him he was daring, it was because of this. Ace currently doesn’t have Observation Haki, and upon choosing to thwart the shells, he abandoned defense.
Even if he fully transford into fla, she could grasp his physical form just now. Without Armant Haki, her Wind Blade also could significantly harm his body.
Naturally, she heard the cannonade but didn’t care, as those following her are also New World’s elite—not overly strong, but possessing basic Haki knowledge, they’re capable of slicing or kicking away shells without issue, so she remained focused.
Unexpectedly, Ace acted first.
Considering this, this pirate seems sowhat different.
