Chapter 39: The Pirate Hunter Returns
Don't Forget to Review!!
The battle between the flames and the smoke intensified.
Tashigi smacked her forehead anxiously and said, "Captain Smoker is fighting a powerful enemy!"
With that, the bespectacled girl waved her arm at the soldiers and ordered, "Hurry over there! Support the captain!"
"Yes!"
The marines rushed off, and Tashigi followed.
After a few steps, she suddenly remembered something and turned back to grab Noir.
Noir was touched by Tashigi's devotion, but did she really think she could control him like that?
With a slight twist, Noir easily escaped Tashigi's grasp, darted onto the roof and disappeared into the distance.
A faint voice drifted back, "I'll check the situation first. You hurry and catch up..."
Tashigi stamped her foot in frustration and yelled, "Hurry up!"
Noir moved quickly and soon found the battlefield where Ace and Smoker were fighting.
At that moment, the two had just separated from their intertwined elements, Smoker shrouded in smoke and Ace with his flaming fist raised.
Smoker's eyes flicked over and immediately spotted the approaching Noir. He said, "East Blue Hunter Noir, are you here to help the pirate Ace?"
Ace shouted excitedly, "Noir! We bought the ship! We can set sail!"
Noir covered his forehead in annoyance. Dude, I'm a hunter!
Yelling like that just proves that I'm with you guys!
Sure enough, Smoker, hearing Ace's words, stared solemnly at Noir and said, "So you joined the pirates.
Noir spread his hands and tried to explain, "Actually, I'm not..."
Noir tried to explain, but Smoker wouldn't listen. His lower body turned to smoke, propelling him forward.
"White Blow!" Smoker raised his jutte, which had a seastone tip, and swung it down hard at Noir's head.
The world is so beautiful, and yet you're so irritable...
Noir helplessly raised his sword to block the attack, used both arms to deflect the jutte, and then twisted his body back to slash down.
"Tornado Flash!"
The rotational force of his body combined with the strength of his arms, channeled into his sword, aimed straight at Smoker's exposed chest.
Like Ace, Smoker believed that a mere pirate hunter couldn't hurt him.
Smoker didn't defend, he continued his attack.
But what he didn't know was that Noir's sword was already imbued with Armament Haki!
It seemed that Noir insulted the Marine because of him and couldn't be a pirate hunter anymore?
That wouldn't do.
Although Ace wanted Noir to be his partner, he wouldn't force him. Ace considered Noir a friend and he wouldn't push him.
He had to help Noir!
Ace looked at Noir and suddenly shouted, "Ah! You bastard! Are you trying to catch me?"
Both Smoker and Noir were stunned.
Noir looked at him in confusion. What was this silly guy doing now?
In the drizzle, Ace's arm turned into flames as he lunged at Noir, pretending to yell, "You won't catch me!
As a fellow user of Flame-Flame Fruit, Noir easily blocked his blow. Taking advantage of the close distance, he whispered, "What are you doing?"
Ace chuckled, "You're a pirate hunter, right? Come and get me."
With that, Ace staggered back a few steps and said "weakly", "East Blue's strongest hunter, indeed".
After his performance, Ace turned and ran with Deuce and Skull, leaving behind, "Help... me..."
Noir covered his face in embarrassment and lethargically ran after them, yelling, "If you have the guts, don't run..."
The marines were stunned.
Tashigi reported seriously to Smoker, "It looks like Noir and Pirate Ace are not in cahoots."
"Not in cahoots, my ass!"
Smoker's veins bulged as he shouted at his naive subordinate.
Such a bad act, no one would believe it!
Even Vice Admiral Garp wouldn't believe it!
Smoker's face turned livid as he roared, "Forget about Noir for now!"
"Quick, capture the pirate Portgas D. Ace!"
