The sudden burst of laughter from a distance suddenly brought the tense atmosphere to a halt.

Under the gazes of several people, a middle-aged navy man with a plump figure and a cloak of justice walked out of the shadows.

"Fire Fist Ace, you are more ignorant than I thought."

Looking at the middle-aged navy approaching, Ace and Seti showed an unusually tacit understanding at this moment.

The two of them glanced at the middle-aged navy man, curled their lips together, and let out a disdainful sneer.

After scoffing, he looked at the other party in surprise, as if he didn't expect that the other party would have the same reaction as him.

"Lieutenant General Doro?!"

Just as the two looked at each other, Iska, who was originally nervous, suddenly became excited.

She first named the other person's name, and then said to Ace:

"Ace, this is Lieutenant General Doro who saved me back then."

After saying this, Iska turned to Doro and said:

"Lieutenant General, please help me persuade Ace."

"advise?"

Doro, who came forward, glanced at Iska and suddenly showed a sarcastic smile. He picked up the invitation from the ground and tore it in half:

"Why should I advise such a trash pirate?"

Now it was Iska's turn to be messy in the wind, and she stammered:

"Didn't you tell me yesterday that I would bring Ace here? You will personally help me persuade Ace to join the Shichibukai."

Douluo couldn't help laughing when he heard this:

"I'm really curious about one thing. How did you manage to become a major with a brain like yours?"

These words made Iska's face suddenly turn pale.

"asshole!"

Ace on the side couldn't help but cursed when he saw this, then stared at Doro and said:

"Quickly apologize to Iska!"

"Apologise?" Doro shrugged and said angrily: "I'm very busy, but I don't have time to do such meaningless things."

While talking, Doro took off his navy cloak, revealing the huge fuel tank on his back and the jet-like things wrapped around his arms.

He looked at Ace, showed a twisted smile and said:

"I've always been curious about which one is stronger, your flame or mine, so now, come and answer my questions, Fire Fist!"

While speaking, Doro fiercely pressed the button in his hand. As the button was pressed, raging flames immediately shot out from the spray guns in Doro's hands.

The flames not only blocked Ace's escape route instantly, but also set the surrounding houses on fire.

Seeing this situation, Seti's expression suddenly changed. According to his perception, there were still people living in the surrounding houses!

Thinking of this, he quickly turned to baby-5 and Hua Luo and said:

“Let’s evacuate the surrounding people first, and we’ll talk about other things later.”

Baby-5 and Valor obediently dispersed to evacuate the crowd, while Seti used his shaver and rushed into the ignited house in a flash.

Seeing Seti rushing into the house without hesitation, ignoring the sea of ​​fire, Ace's eyes flashed with shock and admiration.

Originally planning to fight back, he gritted his teeth and gave up his previous idea. He withstood Doro's flames and walked step by step to the house where Seti rushed in. He blocked Doro's flames with his elemental body and left Seti with the fire.

There is a way out to escape.

Ace had just obtained the Burning Fruit less than half a year ago, and he was not yet proficient in controlling the Burning Fruit. In this situation, he could only do so much.

Seti, who rushed out of the house with three children in his arms, looked up and saw Ace in front of him, using himself to help him find a way out.

Looking at Ace who was gritting his teeth, Seti opened his mouth, but didn't say much. He just hugged the three children and left, saying dissatisfiedly to Doro:

"Catch pirates and catch pirates. Pay attention to me, you guy. There are still residential buildings around."

Iska on the side also nodded and agreed:

"Yes, Lieutenant General Doluo, there are still people living in the surrounding houses."

Doro glanced at Seti and said:

"What a despicable thing, how dare you talk to me like this!"

Then he turned back to Iska and said:

"I am a navy, and my mission is to capture pirates. Other things have nothing to do with me. If I let the pirates escape, it will only bring misfortune to more people."

When Seti heard this, he gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, but thinking that the other party was a colleague and that he did this to catch the pirates, he frowned, took a deep breath, and finally suppressed the desire to take action.

.

Iska glanced at Seti, who looked unhappy and whispered:

"Lieutenant General Doro said this because he didn't know your identity. Mr. Seti, please don't take it to heart."

After saying this, he turned back to Doluo and said:

"But the people around are innocent. Besides, Mr. Seti is the commodore of the Navy Headquarters. Lieutenant General Doro, you shouldn't say that to him!"

Doro raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard that Seti was a brigadier general, but after the surprise, he still looked bossy and said:

"I am a lieutenant general, and my military rank is higher than all of you, so you only need to follow my orders."

Having said this, he seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said to Seti:

"Oh, by the way, for the sake of my colleagues, I would like to remind you to call your men back quickly and ask them to leave this place. Otherwise, I will not be responsible for anything that happens."

After hearing this, Seti's expression couldn't help but change:

"Did you..."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud banging sound in his ears.

I saw the flames spouted by Doro spread to a certain fixed position, and suddenly triggered a violent explosion. The intensity of the fire increased several times in an instant. For a time, a hundred meters radius with Ace and Doro as the center turned into a sea of ​​flames.

.

Seeing the sudden formation of the sea of ​​​​fire, Seti couldn't help but cursed:

"What the hell are you doing!"

Doro looked at Seti and said calmly:

"The opponent is a natural-type Burning Fruit user, so I naturally have to be fully prepared."

Seti pointed at the sea of ​​fire around him and said loudly:

"What you call complete preparations is to let all the people here be buried with Ace?"

After hearing this, Doro didn't even hesitate and said in a matter-of-fact tone:

"Is there anything wrong? These rubbish will only bring shame to Shampoo. It's better to die together with that kid now, so that they can still get some good reputation.

They should really thank me, because I helped these maggots find a little bit of value in living!"

Iska looked at Doro who had a taken-for-granted look, and subconsciously looked down at the scar on her right hand. At this moment, she suddenly understood something, and she suddenly choked and said:

"Seventeen years ago, you were also responsible for the fire in Kapono Town, Nanhai, right?"

After Doluo thought for a while, his eyes couldn't help but light up:

"So that's where it is. That's right. It was precisely because of that fire that killed all the pirates that I was promoted to the Grand Line because of my merits!"

As soon as Doluo finished speaking, he felt a black shadow flash before his eyes, and then a voice of suppressed anger sounded:
Chapter completed!
