"You said you want to see dad too?"
Igor's words caught Ace off guard, and he immediately revealed a gratified smile like Igor.
Six years ago, Igor had single-handedly destroyed the Heavenly Dragon Guards to avenge Sabot. He was terrifyingly powerful.
In this age of great voyages, chasing fame was every man's dream. The most powerful of the Four Sovereigns of the Sea was his father.
If Igor could stay in the White Beard Pirates, it would be like adding wings to a tiger. Wouldn't he be one step closer to the title of king?
"Haha, after we enter father's territory, I'll bring you to see him!”
Ace took a few seconds to react and immediately sent out the invitation with a big smile.
The two of them grew up together and understood each other's temperament. Just thinking about being able to rush to the top of the world together was exciting!
"I believe that he will definitely like you!”
Ace stared deeply at Igor. He could already imagine the scene of his father meeting Igor.
Just as the two of them were immersed in the joy of being on the same boat, the sound of artillery suddenly rang out not far away.
Then, deafening explosions came from all directions. The small boat was hit by the huge waves and shook left and right.
"Not good, the target is us. I'll go up and take a look!”
Ace quickly ran out of the door and returned to the door after a while. He looked at Igor with a frown.
"It's the navy!"
Upon hearing this, Igor immediately stopped smiling. He quickly jumped off the bed and ran to the deck with Ace.
From the deck, they could see more than ten warships lined up in a line.
The flagship was as big as an iceberg. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the flag of the fleet. It was the navy headquarters!
"The navy has mobilized so many people. Could it be that they're here to start a war with father?？”
Ace looked at the navy that was advancing like a mountain range in shock. He sighed at the size of this fleet. It was comparable to White Beard's fleet.
However, he did not provoke the navy this time. Why would they be so angry that they sent so many troops to pursue him?
"Their target is me."
Igor's words immediately solved Ace's question, but he saw that the other party seemed to be even more curious, so he continued.
"I killed five Heavenly Dragon people with my own hands and escaped from Marychoa.”
Igor told him everything he had done. Although his tone was light, the content was shocking.
" What did you say?!"
Every word fell on Ace's head like rolling thunder. He looked at Igor in disbelief.
Six years ago, Igor's strength was enough to destroy a team of guards escorting the Heavenly Dragon Tribe.
He didn't expect that he would be able to charge into the sacred land and kill five Skydragon people, and still be able to escape unscathed.
It was no wonder that the navy headquarters would launch such a large-scale pursuit and pour their thunderous fury on his small boat.
"In that case, I can only protect you!”
Ace expressed his stance and smiled at Igor. Then, he turned to look at the navy fleet with determination.
At this moment, the naval fleet's second round of artillery fire had already sounded, and the flames on the sea surface flickered like stars.
Countless cannonballs were like a large net, covering the sky as they flew towards the small boat.
Seeing the dense cannonballs flying towards him without any blind spots, Ace bent down and half-squatted, retracting his arms to gather strength.
"Fire Fist!"
Ace roared and punched out. The wind from his punch gradually turned into burning flames.
Starting from the small boat, the flames spread rapidly in a conical trajectory, forming a huge pillar of fire.
A pillar of fire soared into the sky, and countless cannonballs flying towards the boat were instantly drowned by the waves of flames, exploding in mid-air.
"It's the ability to burn fruits!"
The high-temperature flames swept past, and an open sea surface instantly opened up in front of Igor. Explosions sounded one after another on both sides.
The pillar of fire, which had swallowed countless cannonballs, charged toward the fleet in the distance, engulfing a few warships.
When the flames dissipated, the three battleships were completely annihilated. They turned into a pile of mutilated corpses that floated on the water.
Putting down his burning arm, Ace stood up straight and turned to look at Igor with a smile.
"With me here, I will never let them hurt you!”
Igor looked at Ace's confident smile and was inexplicably touched. It was as if he was looking at his brother who had protected him when he was young and defeated wild beasts.
Indeed, for Ace, his belief in survival was to protect his cherished family.
Unfortunately, his stubborn personality, which refused to lower his head, also caused him to die in battle in the plot, leaving everyone with endless regret.
"Who said I need protection? Don't underestimate me!”
Seeing Ace's determined expression, Igor couldn't help but smile. He tore off the gauze wrapped around his right arm.
He aimed the terrifying cut on his shoulder at the warship in the distance and closed his eyes to feel the life in the surroundings.
It was Igor's first time trying to absorb life from a few hundred meters away, so he wasn't confident.
However, in front of his brothers who had grown up from a young age, he definitely could not let the other party underestimate him.
Sweat trickled down his forehead, and the faint sound of flesh growing slowly came from his shoulder.
"Drink!"
Along with Igor's low growl, bundles of muscle tissue suddenly emerged from the incision and coiled around each other.
It rustled and formed into the shape of an arm. The skin gradually appeared, and finally, a new arm grew out.
"How is it?"
Clenching his fists, he proudly looked at Ace, who was stunned on the spot, and then turned to look at the navy.
Igor's smile suddenly disappeared as he locked his eyes on one spot. His brows were knitted together, and his expression became solemn.
Ace followed his gaze and saw a person standing majestically at the bow of the flagship.
Dressed in a dark red suit and a large commander's coat, he looked down at the two of them with a serious expression.
"General Sakasugi!"
