Chapter 120 Struggle

Dazai Osamu brought Ace to a European-style building on the outskirts of the city and stopped outside.

"Mimic's base is right in there." He leaned against the tree trunk beside him, smiled and looked at Ace, "Waiting for your triumph."

"ah."

Ace walked into the building alone with his fists clenched. As soon as he entered the door, he was greeted by a wave of gunfire.

Ace didn't even try to dodge. After wrapping his body in military Haki, he directly unleashed Conqueror Haki.

The barrage of bullets came to an abrupt halt, and the sound of bodies falling to the ground could be heard continuously from all around.

Mimics are also called "battlefield ghosts". They are soldiers who have been abandoned and betrayed by their own country and beliefs. They were exiled by the homeland for which they had shed their blood, so their blood cooled. They wandered around various countries, but were not accepted by any country.

Perhaps their bodies have been through thousands of trials and tribulations, and they have physical qualities far superior to those of ordinary people, perhaps they have rich combat experience, or perhaps they have strong mental qualities, but now they are already a group of "ghosts" who "died" in obsession. Their beliefs have collapsed, their spirits are exhausted, and they come to a foreign country just to get a death that meets their wishes.

Originally, they should have been more resistant to the invasion of Conqueror's Haki than ordinary people, but at this moment, facing the attack of Ace's Conqueror's Haki, no one could resist. They were even worse than the mafia with varying levels of skills during the Dragon War.

Perhaps because the gunfire outside had stopped, the Mimic leader finally came out from deep inside the house.

Like the other Mimic members, he was wearing a black hooded cape, which had been through so many storms that the hem was already tattered.

When he saw Ace, his eyebrows immediately wrinkled.

"It's not you I'm waiting for," he said.

"Who you are waiting for is none of my business. I am here to beat you up." Ace stared at him sharply.

"I advise you to leave now, otherwise you will have to stay here." Jide replied indifferently.

This "stay" obviously doesn't mean staying as a guest and going home at a certain time. Of course, Ace didn't intend to listen to him. He has never removed his armament domineering from the moment he entered the door until now, and it is obvious that he has made up his mind to have a fight.

"Stop talking nonsense. Since you're willing to attack my students to lure me out, you must be prepared to be beaten to death by me, right?" Ace clenched his right fist with his left hand, and the joints made a crackling sound, and rushed forward.

Mori Ouwai only had time to shout: [Ace! This is my body! You must be careful! Don’t let the boat capsize and kill me! ! ]

Ace didn't respond, and his black fist went straight towards Jide.

In the scene predicted by Jide's supernatural power, a black fist hit his chest directly, causing his chest to collapse completely!

You can't take this punch!

Jide's pupils shrank suddenly, and he immediately avoided the trajectory of the fist, raising his gun and firing several volleys of bullets.

Ace subconsciously tilted his head to avoid the bullet, and the next punch followed closely.

The predicted images kept coming back to his mind, but after a few times, Jide realized something was wrong.

Although Ace's Musashi Haki can directly resist bullets, it is difficult to change the human body's subconscious evasive movements when attacked, and no one can guarantee that the opponent will not use Musashi Haki, especially in the second half of the Grand Line, there are so many people who can use Haki, so even those who have learned Haki will not change this habit, so as to avoid capsizing in the dark.

This habit made Jide realize quickly that Ace made an evasive move almost at the same time as he made a move.

This kind of predictive ability... this is clearly——!!

Jide's eyes lit up little by little.

"Ha! I never thought that besides Oda Sakunosuke, there is another person with similar powers to me! This is really... awesome!"

Ace frowned as he attacked and asked, "You mean Oda? Aren't you targeting me?"

"No, I don't know your ability. We targeted Oda Sakunosuke from the beginning," Kidou said frankly.

Since the person in front of him has replaced Oda Sakunosuke as his current target, he is not reluctant to be honest with him about the relevant matters.

So the ones the enemy actually wanted to attack were not Akutagawa and his group, but Kosuke and his group who were at Akutagawa's house at the time.

Even so, Ace was not in a good mood. After all, it was not a grudge, and it was too much to do such a thing to a child who was only related to him!

"Although I knew there would be scumbags in the army, and some of them were worse than a pirate like me, but every time I saw one I still wanted to beat them up."

Ace didn't argue with them about their attack on the child. This kind of people have completely lost their bottom line. It would be a waste of time to say more. Ace's fist brushed against Jide's shoulder and neck, and the ground behind him, where he used his leverage, cracked and dented.

"Anyway, I'll beat you!"

Ji De raised his hand and fired a few bullets, then changed the magazine.

He was now mainly dodging. He could tell from the fights during this period that his opponent's physical fitness was inferior to his own, whether in muscle strength, physical flexibility or endurance. Forcing a fight was tantamount to committing suicide, which was contrary to his desire to die in battle. He planned to fight a war of attrition and exhaust the opponent's physical strength first.

As the fighting time increased, the body began to feel tired.

Compared to Ji De, who has been in an unstable environment for a long time and has a lot of daily exercise, Mori Ougai, who has been staying in his own small clinic or working in the office for a long time after retiring from the battlefield, is obviously not in as good physical condition as when he was on the battlefield. What's more, Ji De is a combat soldier on the front line, while Mori Ougai is a military doctor in the rear. His physical fitness is definitely not as good as Ji De's.

Mori Ouwai just wanted to sigh.

Precognitive abilities are troublesome. If Kidd concentrates on avoiding them, it will be difficult for Ace to cause effective damage to him with his current means.

[Ace, if you can't deal with him, I'm going to use Alice-chan.]

Of course, Ace didn't want anyone to interfere, so he immediately increased the intensity of his attack, making Jide a little exhausted. However, at this moment——

“Ka——”

Moriogai almost gasped. When Kid grabbed Ace's card shell and counterattacked, Alice immediately appeared and blocked Kid's attack.

Oh, my back hurts.

It's useless. I really shouldn't have let Ace wear his own body to fight against Jide. It's a sin :)

However, Ace's resistance is not to be underestimated. Even though he just sprained his waist, he was able to immediately suppress the pain in his body and continue fighting.

However, his waist injury was still there, and some movements could easily cause limb jams, giving Ji De a chance to catch his breath.

Mori Ogai, who had been calculating the time, suddenly said, "Ace, get ready, it's almost time for us to switch."

He couldn't help but take this matter seriously. After all, a moment of distraction during the exchange might cost him his life!

Ash's eyes suddenly lit up: [I understand! ]

As the evening sunlight shone through the French windows, Mori Ogai began to count the seconds for him: [Ten, nine, eight...]

In the countdown to the last second, Ace had forced him to use up all the bullets in the current magazine, then swept his legs to force him to dodge his attack, and then pushed off the ground hard to step back and create some distance.

In less than two seconds, Jide had already changed the magazine again. Just as Sen Ou was concentrating, he saw that the other party had already raised a gun at him.

At the moment when the bullet was about to be fired, Sen Ouwai was about to dodge in advance, but as soon as he moved, he felt a sharp pain in his waist and his body suddenly stiffened.

It was at this moment of stiffness that the bullet on the opposite side had already been fired, and in the blink of an eye the bullet had enlarged in his pupils.

Suddenly, a hand reached out from the side and grabbed his shoulder and pulled it hard. The bullet narrowly missed his hair and passed in front of his eyes.

Then he was thrown hard again, far away from the center of the battle.

Sen Ouwai painfully supported his old waist which was injured even more by being pulled twice, found a shelter and slowly sat down.

It hurts so much. I’m afraid I’ll have to lie down when I go home today.

He saw that some of the people who were stunned by the Conqueror's Haki were beginning to wake up. Without hesitation, Mori Ogai took out the gun hidden in his arms and coldly shot the man, causing him to fall down again.

——Yes, he did carry a gun, but Ace had never used it before.

After firing this shot, Mori Ougai immediately contacted Guangjin Liulang and asked him to bring the Black Lizard's men over to prepare to clear the area.

After using the body of a superpower, Ace's fighting became even louder, and the entire ground would crack with one punch.

Jide dodged the punch with his eyes flashing, "Is this your original appearance?"

Although he couldn't figure out the situation of his opponent, it was obvious that the person he was fighting now was the same person he had just fought.

Ace didn't answer his question. He grinned and said, "Hey, how long are you going to hide?"

Although Mori Ougai's physical fitness is not good, he has the blessing of military Haki, so his strength is definitely enough. That kind of attack power is enough to destroy the human body with one blow. It is impossible for Jide to be so stubborn as to take it head-on.

When the limbs came into contact, Jide mostly used his ingenuity, but even so, he could feel that his elbows and legs were bruised.

Ace, who has changed into a superpower, doesn't have to worry about Morio's fragile limbs at all. However, in this kind of fighting style where you predict me and I predict you, Kid uses a gun, but it can't break Ace's armed color domineering defense at all. As long as Ace's fists don't bear his force directly, it is difficult to cause fatal injuries. If he hits from behind, it will be a test of physical strength, endurance and mental concentration.

However, this is a strength for both sides. Guide is a soldier who fights day and night during wars, and Ace has a sustained combat capability far beyond that of people in this world. This battle lasted exceptionally long.

The Black Lizard's people had been here for a long time, and there were all kinds of banging noises inside. Guangjin Liulang relied on his special ability to go in alone to take a look, and saw the leader hiding behind the bunker and the other two people fighting back and forth at the other end of the bunker.

All the Mimic members who woke up during this period have been killed by Moriole. Kid is struggling with Ace and has no chance to stop him.

"Chief..."

"Tsk." Sen Ou Wai said weakly, "Go wait outside and come in after they finish fighting."

He is no longer behind the initial cover, he has no extra magazines, the original magazine in his sidearm is empty, and he is now using a gun that he got from the body of a dead Mimic member.

"……yes."

This wait lasted until late at night, and Jide was directly exhausted by Ace. At the last moment, Jide not only couldn't keep up with the physical strength, but also couldn't concentrate mentally. He was hit several times by Ace, and the last punch hit him directly in the heart, and a mouthful of blood mixed with dirty fragments spurted out.

"It's over."

Ace stood beside Kidd who was lying on the ground. Blood was still gushing out of Kidd's mouth, making it difficult for him to speak and breathe.

As if giving up something, Jide's eyes slowly lost focus and he repeated his words: "...It's over."

Ace lowered his eyes and looked at him calmly for a while, then turned and walked towards the outside of the forest.

His shadow was reflected by the moonlight outside the window, completely covering Sen Ou Wai. Sen Ou Wai leaned against the wall, looking up at him without saying a word.

After a while, Ace turned around and squatted in front of him.

Sen Ouwai was silent for a while before he stood up and lay on his back, letting him carry him.

He sighed in his heart, thinking that this matter might not be so easy to deal with.
