"It's done!"
"I finally reached school level."
At this moment, Ron was extremely excited.
After so much hard work, he finally got his reward.
As his strength reaches the school level, his own power, speed, defense and physical strength are greatly improved.
According to his estimation, this time his overall strength has been enhanced by about ten times, which shows how big the gap is between the colonel level and the lieutenant level.
"Open the panel~"
Taking a deep breath, Ron immediately summoned his own copy panel.
Ron
Age: 14
[Strength: Major (early stage)]
[Devil Fruit; Parahuman Series·Copy Fruit 20%]
[Copied: Animal Series·Bird-Bird Fruit·Mythical Beast·Phoenix Form 20%]
"Okay, okay~"
"Not only has the strength increased, but the development of the fruit has also reached 20%!"
"As long as there is 10% development, I can replicate the fruit ability a second time."
For a moment, Ron's smile widened.
This is the benefit of eating the devil fruit. The initial strength improvement is extremely rapid.
Even if it slows down in the later stages, as long as the ability of the fruit you copy is strong enough, you don't need to worry about potential shackles and the trouble of being unable to break through.
Thinking of this, Ron couldn't help laughing: "Haha~"
"Ron, what are you so happy about?"
At this moment, a surprised voice came from behind.
Following the sound, I saw Ace rubbing his head and walking towards me, looking like he was still drunk.
"Ace~"
When Ron saw the person coming, his eyes suddenly lit up.
The ideas that we had on Partridge Island seem to be able to be realized now.
With the development of the Devil Fruit, his Blue Flame has also been enhanced to a certain extent this time.
The blue flame can be controlled to carry out various battles, but its temperature is still fixed at around 200 degrees Celsius.
Thinking of this, Ron restrained his smile, shrugged and said: "My strength has reached the school level."
"It's just to make yourself happy."
"What?"
"So fast!"
Hearing this, Ace was stunned.
You know, when Ron arrived at the Whitebeard Pirates' base camp to copy the Phoenix Fruit, his strength was only at the soldier level.
Afterwards, he copied the Phoenix Devil Fruit, and after the incident on Partridge Island, his strength reached the lieutenant level.
How long has it been?
It's unbelievable that he has reached the school level in less than three months.
Even if they are at the major level, they are essentially considered to be a good combat force in the ocean.
Even in the New World, those at the major level are considered elite within a pirate group, not just ordinary crew members.
"You are such a monster."
Ace spoke subconsciously, with some complexity in his words.
Even though he was confident in his own abilities, he was even very satisfied with his self-improvement.
But he was still irritated by Ron's situation, and even felt a little sour.
"Good luck!"
Waving his hands, Ron was not proud of anything. He was very aware of his own weakness.
It was Ace instead.
He became lax after joining the Whitebeard Pirates. Before joining, he was comparable to an elite vice admiral, and it is still the same now. Whether it is the development of the fruit or the domineering, there is not much improvement in the training of physical skills.
Thinking of this, Ron said: "I am just using the power of the devil fruit to speed up my training in the early stage."
"On the contrary, Ace, you should work harder."
"After all, Dad has high expectations for you."
Hearing this, Ace nodded.
I have to say that he has indeed been lax during this period of time.
Even though his experience on Partridge Island had allowed him to take time to learn the enhanced version of the Six Styles of the Navy, he essentially did not put in too much effort.
He himself no longer had much desire to become stronger at the moment, but he also did not want to disappoint Whitebeard.
With this thought in mind, Ace spoke up; "Indeed, I should practice hard as well."
"Ron, I'm going to exercise too."
With that, Ace was about to leave.
"Wait a minute~"
Seeing this, Ron became anxious and quickly stopped him, saying, "Ace, I need your help with something."
"Oh? What's the matter?"
Hearing this, Ace was stunned, then looked at Ron in confusion.
After all, he had seen all of Ron's practice during this period. To be honest, whether it was the Flash Step or the Sea Moon Step, they were beyond his reach.
"I want to raise the temperature of the blue flame."
Without further ado, Ron summoned the blue flame of the Phoenix Fruit with a wave of his hand.
His fingers moved, and Qingyan began to change into various forms under his control.
Then, Ron said, "The power of Qingyan is good, but the temperature is too weak."
"A temperature of only 200 degrees is too weak in my opinion. I want to try to see if I can devour the flame condensed by your Flame-Flame Fruit, and use the flame of the Flame-Flame Fruit to increase the temperature of the Blue Flame!"
"oh?"
"It's possible!"
Hearing this, Ai immediately became interested.
Using the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit to raise the temperature of the blue flame was something that even Marco had never done or thought of.
If it can really succeed, the increase in the temperature of the blue flame will definitely increase Ron's strength to a certain extent.
Thinking of this, Ace quickly said: "Then how can I cooperate with you?"
"Simple!"
With a smile on his face, Ace didn't refuse, which made Ron breathe a sigh of relief.
Then, he stretched out his hand and said, "Inject the power of your Flame-Flame Fruit into it."
"I'll try to improve the Qingyan and see if I can increase the temperature."
"good!"
Ace agreed without any further ado.
He stretched out his hand and condensed a ball of fire, which then fell into the Qingyan in Ron's hand without hesitation.
Sizzle——
Sizzle——
In an instant, the scarlet and azure flames began to merge.
As the two flames entangled with each other, one could clearly feel a violent aura spreading.
"not good!"
At this moment, Ron's face changed drastically.
He felt that the green flame in his hand was extremely violent, and he could hardly control it.
For a moment, Ron didn't care about anything else and immediately raised his hand to throw it into the sea.
However, Ron had not yet taken action.
The azure blue flame was suddenly engulfed by the scarlet red flame, and then passed directly into Ron's body through his palm.
"ah..."
With a scream, Ron could clearly feel the flame of the Flame-Flame Fruit burning him.
This also caused his entire face to look somewhat hideous, and severe pain continued to spread from all parts of his body.
"Not good~"
Seeing this, Ace's face changed.
He quickly dissipated the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit, looked at Ron worriedly and said, "Ron, are you okay?"
"Ron, quickly mobilize the blue flame to cover yourself."
"Covering the body with blue flames should be able to slow down the invasion of the power of the Flame-Flame Fruit."
"…"
