The Pinnacle of the Navy! Starting from Being Captured by Garp

East Blue, Cocoyasi Village, Coast

"BOOM!!!"

The flame swallowed them like a tidal wave. On the scorched earth, the charred remains were still sizzling and smoking. Ace slowly retracted his fist, the flames swirling back up his arm, his eyes cold.

Arlong, Hachi, and Kuroobi stared with wide eyes, completely stunned, their hearts filled with shock. Not far away, Kane, Shioyaki, and Pisaro had been turned to ash by a single "Fire Fist," without even a chance to escape.

"Are you kidding me?!" Arlong's eyes were wide, his serrated nose trembling violently, his anger mixed with fear. "A mere... little kid?" He looked at Ace, who was standing in the center of the flames, his gaze cold, and for the first time, a feeling of "crisis" arose in his heart.

A slight smile appeared on Ace's lips, his expression contemptuous. "What's wrong? Is the so-called superior fish-man race scared?"

"You bastard!!" Enraged, Arlong leaped up, gripping his sword with both hands and slashing down. "Shark ON GEARS!!!"

"SWISH!!!" The serrated greatsword, carrying a violent, air-tearing spin, came down on Ace's head.

"Sizzle!!" The blade hit, but only passed through a leaping, scorching flame.

"What?! A fake?!" Arlong's pupils constricted. The next instant, the flame re-formed into a human shape. "You can't even use Haki, and you dare to run wild!" Ace's voice was low. Before he finished speaking, his fist was already filled with scorching flames and slammed hard into Arlong's abdomen.

"BANG!!!!" The scorching explosion was like a cannonball hitting his stomach. The flames erupted from his back. Arlong coughed up blood and was sent flying back, breaking three coconut trees before he crashed to the ground with a "thud."

"Brother Arlong!!" The octopus, Hachi, roared, his six swords coming out, his muscles bulging. "Six-Sword Style: Octopus Pot Slash!" Six slashes of light danced like meteors, sealing off all directions, and came down on Ace's head.

"Hmph!" Ace's eyes turned cold, and his figure once again turned into a flame, instantly dissipating.

"Where is he?!" Hachi was bewildered.

"Behind you!"

Boom! With Ace's cold words, dozens of scorching fire guns exploded behind Hachi. "Fire Gun: Barrage!!"

"BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG!!!" Hachi was sent flying by the flame impact, his six swords scattering, leaving only a charred black shadow tumbling to the ground.

On the other side—

Kuroobi VS Luffy!

"Fish-Man Karate: One Thousand Tile True Punch!!" With a roar, Kuroobi's right fist was enveloped in a stream of water, the impact like a tsunami as it came down on Luffy.

"Bring it on!" Luffy stomped the ground, dust flying from his feet, his muscles bulging, his right fist instantly enveloped in a faint Armament Haki. "Iron Fist: Rock Crusher!!!"

"BANG!!" The two fists collided, and a shockwave swept out, shattering the surrounding sand and stone.

"Crack, crack, crack—" A dangerous sound came from Kuroobi's arm bones. His eyes instantly widened. "H-How... this kid's fist is not human at all!!"

"Again! It's finally my turn to beat someone up!" Luffy grinned excitedly, his figure vanishing with a "swish." "Shave!!" The next second, he appeared behind Kuroobi. "Iron Fist Gatling!!"

"BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG-BANG!!!" The punches were like a rainstorm, the rhythm like a drumbeat. Kuroobi tried his best to defend but was still sent back dozens of steps by the punches, his body already black and blue, blood constantly seeping from the corner of his mouth.

"Fish-Man Karate: Water Shot!!!" With a roar, he shot out a high-pressure water blade, slashing towards the approaching Luffy.

Luffy let out a low shout and pushed off the air with his feet. "Moonwalk!!"

"Swish, swish, swish!!" He jumped three times in mid-air, easily dodging the water blade, then gathered his strength and dove down in a circle. "Tempest Kick: Circling Cut!!!"

"Swoosh!" A sharp, crescent-shaped slash fell. Kuroobi didn't have time to dodge and could only cross his arms to block.

"BOOM!!!" The shockwave swept out in all directions. Kuroobi was slammed hard into the ground, sending sand and stone flying. "Ahhhh!!" The dust settled, revealing his arms shattered, completely losing his ability to fight.

"Grandpa's Fist of Love was not for nothing!"

The villagers were dumbfounded, as if they were watching a surreal dream. "Th-these two kids are..."

"...gods, right?" Genzo muttered to himself, his shattered harpoon long since fallen from his limp grip.

Standing in the flames and dust, Luffy and Ace slowly retracted their fists and turned to look at the terrified Arlong in the distance.

Ace wiped the ash from his hand and said softly, "So this is... your so-called 'inferior race'?"

Luffy scratched his head and added with a grin, "We were trained by Big Brother Roy, you know!"

Arlong gritted his teeth, his body trembling slightly, and for the first time, the thought of "running away" entered his mind...

Arlong struggled to his feet, looking at his defeated subordinates, fear finally appearing in his eyes. "Who... who are you people?!"

Ace and Luffy stood side-by-side, flames and Haki swirling around them.

Ace chuckled lightly. "Marine Headquarters, Ace."

Luffy stood with his hands on his hips and laughed. "I'm Luffy, the man who will become the Fleet Admiral!"

"That way, I can order grandpa around, hahaha!!!"

Arlong: "...??!" "The Marines nowadays, are even the little brats this terrifying?!"

Just as Ace and Luffy were preparing to finish off Arlong—

"Stop!! If you move again, I'll kill her!!!" A shrill scream broke the silence of the battlefield.

Chew's figure shot out from behind the ruins, his hands tightly gripping the neck of a villager. It was the village doctor, Dr. Nako, whose carotid artery was being pressed by his sharp nails, a trickle of blood seeping from his neck. "Ugh..." Dr. Nako struggled in terror.

Luffy stopped abruptly, his body tense, his fists cracking. "You cowardly bastard... taking a hostage!"

Chew laughed wildly. "Hahaha! You two kids are strong... but still too green!" His eyes were bloodshot, his face a mask of madness and a savage grin. "Go on! You're so strong, aren't you?"

Arlong staggered to his feet, his chest scorched black, blood still dripping from the corner of his mouth, but he smiled with a sinister venom. "Kid... this is battle. Reality is not a game you play."

"Hachi!" Arlong gritted his teeth and shouted, "Don't just stand there, grab the rest of the villagers!"

Hachi hesitated for a moment but still walked towards the villagers step by step. The situation was suddenly reversed, and the villagers' faces were filled with despair. Dr. Nako was being held tightly, his face pale. "Kids... run, you have to run..."

"Come on! Hit me!!" Just as Chew was gloating and about to say some "victory speech"—

"Tss!"

A sound so light it was almost inaudible. No one noticed. A tiny, dark red spark of light quietly drifted from Ace's fingertip and silently flew to the side of Chew's temple. It was a firefly of flame, smaller than a little finger.

The moment the flame firefly touched Chew's head.

"BOOM!!!"

The scorching white, high-temperature flame seemed to tear the air apart in an instant. An instantaneous high-temperature combustion of over 3000 degrees. Chew didn't even have time to scream "Ah." His head was precisely detonated, his entire head carbonized in an instant, and then it exploded into a cloud of black ash that drifted away in the sea breeze. His body, having lost its support, slowly fell to the ground, collapsing like a headless scarecrow.

"!!!"

The villagers were dumbfounded. A few of the old men even fell directly to the ground. Dr. Nako lay瘫 on the sand, staring blankly at the sky, as if he had just been snatched back from the hands of death. Hachi and Arlong were completely frozen, their faces pale, their eyes trembling violently, fear for the first time occupying their minds.

Ace retracted the faint flame remaining on his fingertip and looked at them lightly, his tone as cold as if it came from the depths of a winter sea. "Big Brother Roy taught us from the very beginning..."

"Against pirates, you must always be twelve-tenths vigilant. Don't believe a single word a pirate says."

"What's that now..." Luffy scratched his head, a confused look on his face. "Did he say that?"

"BANG!!" Ace punched him on the head, sparks flying. "You bastard! You weren't listening in class at all!"

"Hehe..." Luffy rubbed his head and grinned foolishly. "Can we fight now?"

Ace didn't answer but walked towards Arlong step by step, a flame quietly wrapping around his right arm, so white-hot it almost distorted the air.

Arlong forced himself to stand straight and roared through gritted teeth, "Stop!! Our captain is a 'Shichibukai'!! Our Fish-Man Island is backed by big shots!!!"

"D-Don't mess with us!!" Hachi also trembled and rushed forward, his hands clasped together as he shouted, "Our captain is Jinbe, who just became a Shichibukai!!"

"A Shichibukai?" Ace was slightly taken aback, then a confused smile appeared on his face. "What's that?"

The next second—

"BOOM!!!!"

The flame-wrapped fist hit Arlong square in the chest. The white-hot flame erupted like a flash flood, raging as it blew Arlong's entire chest open.

"Uwaaahhhh!" Arlong screamed to the sky, his voice full of despair and pain, but it only lasted for half a second before his entire body was silently burned away in the flames.

"Thud!"

Arlong's body fell stiffly to the ground, his scorched armor shattering, his chest a black, collapsed mess, leaving only a wisp of ash to drift away with the wind. The air was so quiet you could almost hear the seagulls stop their cries.

Hachi fell to his knees with a "thud." Kuroobi was also lying on his back in a daze, his lips trembling. "Monster..."

Ace turned to look at them and said coldly, "Stop pretending to be a superior race."

"The blood of pirates is nothing to be proud of."
