One Piece: I Start with a Married Woman, I Am the Evil Admiral!

Chapter 186 Ace Loses an Arm

Ace showed his indomitable spirit.

At the critical moment, thanks to his exceptional combat awareness and agile skills, Ace successfully avoided Annie's fatal blow.

However, despite all this, he still failed to escape unscathed.

Originally, Ani's gaping maw was aimed at Ace's entire body, but thanks to Ace's timely dodge, Ani only managed to bite one of Ace's arms.

Even so, the impact and tearing force were astonishing. In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and half of Ace's arm was ripped off.

"what……!"

An unbearable, excruciating pain surged through him like a tidal wave, and Ace couldn't help but let out a heart-wrenching roar.

The pain of losing an arm was like being pierced by a thousand arrows, causing Ace to tremble uncontrollably, and his face turned as pale as paper in an instant.

However, true strength never yields to pain easily.

Despite suffering such a severe blow, Ace did not lose his fighting ability.

Instead, he reacted with unimaginable speed. He whirled around and unleashed his power with a backhand—fiery flames suddenly erupted from his only remaining arm.

These flames seemed to possess a life of their own, rapidly converging and intertwining. In the blink of an eye, they transformed into an enormous fiery fist.

This fiery fist burned extremely fiercely, emitting a chillingly high temperature and dazzling light.

Immediately following, a deafening roar erupted: "Boom...!"

Without hesitation, Ace unleashed a devastating counterattack. Its speed and power were simply astonishing.

Sure enough, the enormous fiery fist slammed into Aini's hideous face.

The powerful impact, like a tidal wave, knocked Aini's enormous dragon head to one side. At the same time, Aini's body, losing its balance, crashed to the ground with a thud, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"Huhuhu..."

Ace, suspended in mid-air, clutched his severed arm tightly, his chest heaving violently like a bellows, each breath heavy with pain and groans.

Large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead, soaking his clothes in the blink of an eye. A layer of cold sweat seeped from his forehead, glistening faintly in the sunlight.

However, despite the immense pain his body was enduring, Ace's gaze never left the area below.

His eyes widened, revealing a resolute and determined look, as if he wanted to see through the swirling dust to understand what was happening below.

Unfortunately, the dust swirling in the air acted like a thick curtain, completely obscuring his vision and preventing him from seeing Aini's condition on the ground.

But this was not an insurmountable problem for Ace, since as a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, his forte was unleashing powerful attacks over a wide area.

He took a deep breath, enduring the excruciating pain from his severed arm, and suddenly swung his remaining arm. In an instant, the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit was unleashed, and a dazzling flame suddenly blazed forth.

As Ace waved his arm, the raging flames quickly gathered together, forming a tornado-shaped wall of fire that was a thousand meters high in the blink of an eye.

The wall of flames, like a roaring fire dragon, hurtled toward the spot where Aini had crashed down with overwhelming force, and began to spin and burn wildly.

This move, called "Flame Ring," is one of Ace's signature techniques. Once activated, it will not stop raging unless the enemy is completely reduced to ashes or the flames dissipate on their own. The extremely high temperature it generates is enough to melt mountains and rivers, making its power terrifyingly immense.

"boom……"

A deafening roar resounded, and in the next instant, a figure burst forth from the terrifying flames that seemed to devour everything!

Its speed was so fast, like an arrow released from a bow, that it was already right in front of you in the blink of an eye, catching you off guard and leaving you no time to react!

The figure was none other than Ani, who instantly rushed in front of Ace. Before Ace could even react, Ani's hand had already grabbed Ace's head, gripping it tightly like an iron clamp.

At the same time, a chilling and terrifying aura emanated from Aini.

On his palm, blue electric currents crackled and popped, and a dazzling bolt of lightning appeared out of thin air!

On his body, a layer of jet-black Armament Haki rapidly emerged and expanded outwards, intertwining and entwining with the lightning.

As a result, Ace, who was being held captive by Enni, was unable to use his elemental transformation ability to evade the attack. The powerful Armament Haki completely sealed off the surrounding space, leaving him nowhere to escape.

Therefore, Ace took the hit head-on.

The combined damage from lightning and Armament Haki is extremely terrifying.

"Pfft..."

Ace coughed up a mouthful of blood, the crimson blood arcing through the air before splashing onto the ground.

At the same time, his eyes dimmed instantly, the brilliance he had been displaying vanished without a trace, and he seemed to lose consciousness, his whole body going limp.

At this point, Ace lost his fighting ability.

Looking at Enni, he also appeared somewhat disheveled. His body bore numerous burn marks... If it weren't for the fact that his physique was now even stronger than Kaido's...

I'm afraid they would have already been reduced to ashes by this move.

Is the Flame-Flame Fruit weak?

Weak my ass!

Only by experiencing it firsthand can one truly understand its terror. I was almost roasted alive.

Then he carried Ace toward the Flower Capital. Although Ace had only lost an arm, he could bleed to death if he wasn't treated.

Secondly.

In the City of Flowers, there are still two people.

Kurozumi Orochi and Kurozumi Semimaru: one is the current shogun of Wano Country, a user of the Snake-Snake Fruit (Mythical Zoan type, Yamata no Orochi form), and the other is a user of the Paramecia-type Barrier-Barrier Fruit.

How could a piece of trash like Orochi be allied with Kaido?

Because of the Kurotan family behind him?

Stop messing around!

The combined strength of the entire Black Charcoal Clan is no match for Jack.

But why would Kaido tolerate trash like Kurozumi Orochi?

It's because Kurozumi Semimaru is a Paramecia-type Barrier-Barrier Fruit user, and users of this fruit aren't necessarily very strong.

But it must have the strongest defense.

To date, no one has been able to break through the fruit's defenses.

Perhaps, Whitebeard, who can shatter space itself, could give it a try...
