A new month had arrived.
“Ding… The host has received one new Character Card draw opportunity…”
“Congratulations!
You have drawn the character [One Piece — Portgas D.
Ace]…”
“Portgas D.
Ace: Conqueror’s Haki, Logia-type — Flame-Flame Fruit, Mirror Flame, Heat Haze, Fire Fist, Fire Gun…”
“Holy shit!”
“It’s Ace?!”
Yagami Yue was utterly stunned.
His usually cold expression completely broke.
He was genuinely excited!
Damn it!
I’ve been getting garbage for eight straight months, and then suddenly I get something this incredible!
Now Yagami Yue had a dilemma.
Should he replace Misaka?
Or should he replace Zoro?
The two Character Cards each specialized in completely different areas.
After thinking about it for a moment, he quickly came up with a plan.
He would make a trip to Sunagakure.
He could leak some information to them, giving the Sand time to prepare.
That way, he could also use the opportunity to sabotage Konoha’s plans.
Naturally, he needed a new identity for this trip.
He could use Ace’s Character Card to disguise himself as an entirely new person.
Whether he was visiting Sunagakure or carrying out other activities in the future, he could operate under the identity of Ace.
“Shadow Clone Technique!”
Yagami Yue formed the hand seals.
A Shadow Clone appeared beside him.
“Transformation Technique!”
Yagami Yue’s main body transformed into Ace.
A ridiculously handsome man!
Sunny.
Handsome.
Energetic.
His upper body was bare, revealing his perfect physique.
The tattoo reading “ASCE” was visible on his left arm.
On his back was the tattoo of the Whitebeard Pirates.
He wore an orange cowboy hat, with two badges attached to the brim—one depicting a smile and the other a frown.
A skull ornament hung from the hat.
A necklace of red beads rested around his neck.
And, of course, he wore his signature shorts.
A perfect body.
Whoosh!
Flames suddenly erupted from both of his hands.
He looked unbelievably cool.
“From now on, the name Ace will resound throughout the entire shinobi world!”
Yagami Yue revealed a brilliant smile.
He handed his three swords to the Shadow Clone.
Then, as Ace, he quickly left Kikyo City.
…
…
The endless desert stretched as far as the eye could see.
It was enough to make anyone feel despair.
The sound of camel bells echoed across the sand as a caravan traveled toward Sunagakure.
Whoooosh!
Suddenly, a series of howls came from the distance.
A group of mounted bandits charged toward the caravan at full speed, laughing wildly.
The caravan owner’s expression changed dramatically.
“Bandits!”
“Defend yourselves!”
The caravan quickly moved all the wagons carrying their goods to the outer perimeter, forming a defensive line.
Everyone drew their swords and knives, their expressions tense.
The caravan owner quickly jumped down from his wagon and ran toward another carriage.
He respectfully bowed deeply toward the person inside.
“Lord Ace, please help us deal with these bandits…”
Inside the carriage, Yagami Yue was reclining comfortably.
He was enjoying the attentive service of a beautiful songstress.
Her hands were gentle as she massaged him, and her voice was pleasant to listen to.
The songstress was completely captivated by this handsome, charming man overflowing with masculine appeal.
She served him wholeheartedly, practically ready to give him everything she had.
“Bandits?”
Ace frowned slightly.
“Yes, Lord Ace.
Please, you have to help us.
These bandits are extremely vicious.
If you fall into their hands, escaping with your life is almost impossible…”
The caravan owner was practically on the verge of tears.
Whoosh!
The curtain of the carriage was pulled open.
Ace stepped out and stretched lazily, a relaxed smile hanging from the corner of his mouth.
“Your caravan has been taking good care of me.”
“I’ll drive away the bandits for you.”
“That’s fair.”
“Thank you, Lord Ace!”
The caravan owner was overjoyed.
He had personally witnessed Ace’s strength before.
Dealing with this group of bandits would be as easy as slaughtering chickens.
Ace suddenly jumped.
He landed ten meters away, directly blocking the bandits’ path.
The bandits were already only fifty meters away.
One by one, they shouted wildly as they charged forward.
They imagined themselves as terrifying warriors about to slaughter and rob the caravan.
Money.
Beautiful women.
Killing.
What a wonderful life!
Then they saw someone standing directly in front of the caravan.
One man was blocking the entire bandit group’s path.
What an idiot!
He actually dares to block the Hurricane Bandits’ path?
Does he think we’re a joke?
He’s tired of living! New chapters come out on g.com first.
The Hurricane Bandits were a notorious bandit group in the eastern region of the Land of Wind.
They were quite powerful.
Their leader was a chūnin, while seven or eight other members were genin.
Wherever the Hurricane Bandits passed—
Not even grass remained!
“Kill him!”
“Woohoo!”
“Kill!
Kill!
Kill!”
The bandit leader swung his sword forward.
The other bandits became even more excited and charged even faster.
Then they saw—
The entire body of the man in front of them suddenly burst into flames.
“What the hell?!
He’s committing suicide!”
“Damn idiot!
He’s actually playing with fire!”
“What a moron!
Brothers, go around him!
We don’t need to waste time dealing with an idiot!”
“Hahaha!
That idiot thinks setting himself on fire will actually stop us?”
“How naive!”
The bandits laughed wildly as they charged toward the caravan.
Meanwhile, the caravan owner was completely dumbfounded.
What the hell?!
Lord Ace, why are you setting yourself on fire?!
Just as everyone was thinking the same thing—
Yagami Yue moved.
“Mirror Flame!”
A massive amount of fire gathered in both of his hands.
He suddenly thrust them forward.
BOOM!
A gigantic wave of flames, ten meters wide, instantly erupted.
It surged forward like a tsunami.
The enormous wall of fire crashed toward the bandit group.
“I—”
“Save—”
The bandits didn’t even have time to react.
The enormous wave of flames swallowed them whole.
A moment later, the flames disappeared.
So did the bandits.
They had been burned so completely that not even their ashes remained.
Only an empty stretch of desert was left behind.
Everyone in the caravan stood there in stunned silence.
Their eyes were wide.
Completely dumbfounded.
Who am I?
Where am I?
