The cool breath flows through the limbs and bones, and the chaotic brain gradually becomes clear.

Luffy opened his eyes, and several familiar faces appeared in front of him.

"Luffy! How are you?"

"Where does it hurt?"

"Are you hungry, do you want to eat?"

The concerned words of his companions brought him back to his senses.

"Everyone…"

He sat up half leaning against Annie's body and took a deep breath.

"Annie, that person?"

He looked at Annie with a confused look on his face.

When he was beaten down by Kaido's stick, he clearly heard the man's panicked shouts.

That voice was extremely familiar.

Annie continued to operate the healing magic, and Luffy's entire body was emitting green light.

"That's my gift to you."

She smiled at Luffy.

"You have to open the gift yourself to get the surprise."

"Don't worry now, let's talk about it after we finish beating Kaido."

Feeling his strength rapidly returning, Luffy nodded.

Solving Kaido is the top priority. Gifts and other things, if it is not the most delicious barbecue in the world, there is not much to look forward to.

The ends of Annie's hair had slowly begun to turn white, and Luffy held her hand down.

"Okay, it's alright."

"Send me up."

The two figures appeared on the dome again.

Ace fell into the rubble covered in blood, with a long crack in his mask. The black costume on his body was in pieces, and the repaired tattoo on his back was looming.

Probably because Yamato joined the battlefield, Kaido's momentum surged at this time, and his murderous intent was even worse than before.

The mace entwined with domineering energy and thunder struck hard at Yamato, as if the person in front of him was not his own child, but a sworn enemy who had been feuding for many years.

The powerful force shook Yamato out of his hand, and he could only face the incoming weapons with his bare hands.

"Boom!"

A muffled sound.

Yamato's hands grew sharp nails, and he crossed his hands in front of him to block.

But the force was too overbearing, and it knocked Yamato's body away, flying towards the outside of the island like a stream of light.

Luffy stared closely at Kaido's movements, his eyes darkening.

"Is that really the case? I understand..."

Annie turned her head to look at Luffy, the corners of her mouth rising uncontrollably.

Luffy is a fighting genius, and no special training can be achieved as quickly as he can learn it personally in battle.

"It's not about using brute force, but putting all the domineering energy that can't be used elsewhere into your fists."

Luffy looked at his fist intently.

"Wrap the domineering domineering energy on it..."

He looked at the fierce Kaido in front of him and said softly: "Annie, I understand."

He turned his head and smiled at Annie, a glimmer of light flashing in his dark eyes.

"Leave everything to me next!"

Luffy raised his fist and rushed towards Kaido, while Annie also hurriedly flew towards Ace who climbed up from the pit.

"How is it? Are you okay?"

"fine"

Seeing Luffy fighting Kaido again, Ace was a little anxious and immediately wanted to join the battlefield.

Anne grabbed his arm.

"Leave it to Luffy!"

"Luffy is no match for him."

Ace was a little anxious.

After fighting Kaido in person, he truly realized how important the "Yonko" on the sea was.

Even after more than two years of training, his strength has been drastically compared to that of Fire Fist Ace, but he can't get even half a cent from Kaido.

Such a powerful existence is more frightening than Akainu two years ago.

How could he let Luffy face such a difficult enemy alone.

"Trust him."

Anne looked at him steadily, her blue eyes full of determination.

"Luffy has grown up."

"He is no longer the child who needs to be protected by his brother."

"He has even grown enough to protect you, Ace."

Ace was dumbfounded.

He raised his eyes to look at the figure who was fighting fiercely with Kaido, his eyes twinkling.

The two overlord-colored auras were fighting together, and the surrounding air seemed to become stagnant.

The fist was wrapped with overlord-colored Haki like a gust of wind, and it hit Kaido in beastman form without any reservation.

Ace chuckled and murmured: "This kid..."

He reached out to take off the mask, but Annie held him down.

"No, now is not the time."

"If Luffy sees your face, he might get some stimulation."

"makes sense."

Annie helped him retreat to the edge of the battlefield, her palms glowing green again.

No one saw that strands of white hair appeared among Annie's head of green hair.

"Yamato, she..."

"Don't worry, her injuries are not as serious as yours."

Annie looked at the numerous wounds on his body and frowned slightly.

Facing a killer like Kaido right after training can easily affect your mentality.

He put his index finger between her eyebrows and carefully smoothed out the twisted word 'Chuan'.

Eswin said: "Why are you always frowning? My injury doesn't matter."

Anne then looked up at him.

"You are much stronger than you were two years ago."

Ace smiled.

"If it's still the same as two years ago, how can I have the face to stand in front of you?"

"Kaido is one of the top combat forces in this sea..."

"Well, then what?"

"You are still young..."

Seeing that she was about to speak but hesitated, Ace had a flash of inspiration, which brought him happiness to his soul.

"Are you worried that I will be hit?"

Annie blinked twice, and Ace understood her silent answer.

"Annie, I'm not a young boy anymore. I won't be able to bear this little setback."

He reached out and rubbed Annie's head, feeling helpless.

"Why do you worry so much about everything?"

Annie slapped his paws away dissatisfied.

"I'm not worried about others. Do you still want me to tell you what your temper is? You're stubborn..."

Annie's voice was very soft, but Ace, who had a strong sense of knowledge, heard it clearly.

"Don't worry, I won't."

"Uncle Reilly taught me a lot. Only now do I understand how stupid I was back then."

His voice deepened, and Annie's expression also dimmed.

"欻~"

A piece of gravel flew between the two of them. Ace turned his head slightly, and the gravel hit the corner of the mask.

The originally cracked mask suddenly shattered, revealing that sunny and soothing smiling face.

Annie pulled Ace and turned around, facing away from the fighting parties.

It was too late to appreciate this handsome face carefully now. She took out a tube of polyjuice potion and urged Ace to drink it.

"Hurry, hurry, it won't be good if Luffy sees you."

Unexpectedly, Ace frowned and protected Annie behind him.

"what happened?"

He closed Annie's palm and said softly: "Give me another mask."

Although Annie didn't understand what he meant, she obediently took out a mask and handed it to him.

Ace took the mask and put it on without saying a word. The domineering energy spread instantly, covering almost the entire dome.

Anne also noticed something different in his expression, held her breath and concentrated, and activated her seeing color.

Got nothing.

Anne looked at him doubtfully.

Ace also shook his head.

He leaned close to Anne's shoulder, and from the side, he seemed to be hugging Anne into his arms.

"I just noticed another strange smell."

He whispered in Annie's ear.

"Only for a moment."
