Batman's Base.

Bruce was recording data from the video.

"Devil Fruits and pirates, that's a dangerous combination."

Bruce Wayne's thoughts mirrored Diana's. To him, pirates were criminals that needed to be apprehended.

He glanced at Sengoku's comments on the screen.

"This man is from the navy; he should have the capability to handle such powerful pirates, right?"

At that moment, in the One Piece world.

Ace was desperately fighting off the vines attacking from all directions.

But rather than fighting, it was more like a frantic escape.

These vines were too difficult to deal with. No matter how much fire he unleashed, he couldn't burn them.

He could only rely on his elemental form to escape everywhere.

"Damn it! How can such terrifying plants exist in this world!"

Ace's expression was grim. When had he ever been forced to run like this?

Not even when facing Whitebeard!

It made him extremely angry.

"I refuse to believe my flames can't destroy you! Great Flame Commandment: Flame Emperor!"

Ace couldn't accept this reality and unleashed a massive amount of fire, spreading around him like a tornado, forcibly pushing the vines back.

"Flame Emperor!"

All the flames gathered above Ace, forming a massive fireball that looked like a sun.

"Luckily, this island is devoid of life, seemingly wiped out by this monster."

Ace thought grimly.

"Whatever you are, disappear!"

Ace released the Flame Emperor, hurling it at the endless carnivorous vines below.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!!!"

When the Flame Emperor hit its target, a massive earthquake ensued, shaking the entire island.

A gigantic pillar of fire shot into the sky, followed by a terrifying explosion.

"Boom!!!"

The explosion caused the island to tremble violently as if it was about to collapse. Flames surged like waves, engulfing the entire island!

The carnivorous vines were heavily damaged by such an attack. The once indestructible vines were now charred and lay powerless on the ground.

Seeing this, the audience was utterly shocked.

Thousand Sunny.

Luffy stared at the screen, dumbfounded. He never expected Ace to be so powerful.

"So that's the true strength of Luffy's brother?"

Sanji was shocked, his cigarette falling from his mouth.

"So strong, as expected of a member of the Whitebeard Pirates."

Zoro felt immense pressure, wiping away his sweat.

Then he thought of something. If Ace was so strong and yet got captured, how powerful must the man who captured him be! Marvel Universe, SHIELD.

"Oh, we shit! What the fuck!"

Nick Fury couldn't stay calm, swearing uncontrollably.

The explosion's power far surpassed that of missiles. The blast that affected the entire island was nearly equivalent to a nuclear explosion! Devil Fruit users were this powerful! Clinton, Natasha, and Hill were equally shocked. How could they possibly fight such power?

Hawkeye and Natasha, who had been proud of their new abilities, now felt like they were playing with toys compared to this terrifying superpower.

If their world had such pirates, how would they fight them!

Private Jet.

Tony Stark couldn't stay calm. The power of the Flame Emperor was beyond his ability to counter!

"Jarvis, help me design a cooling weapon. It must cover a large area and be adaptable to my suit!"

Stark quickly contacted Jarvis, instructing it to start designing.

Such terrifying flames could only be countered by preemptive cooling. The development of cooling weapons had to be expedited.

Though they weren't in the same world, Tony Stark wanted to be prepared for any eventuality!

Bruce Wayne shared the same thought.

He immediately began researching various countermeasures against Ace.

Even if they weren't in the same world, he worried about the possibility of these pirates arriving in his world and wanted to be ready to fight them.

"Lucius, how is the development of the cooling weapon going? Speed it up and make it portable. Don't ask too many questions, just consider it for the fire department." Bruce Wayne made a call to his trusted Lucius to expedite the development of the cooling weapon.

Lucius's thoughts were full of sarcasm.

Equipping the fire department with cooling weapons—what a joke.

Naruto World.

Naruto stared at the explosion on the screen in shock.

"Pervy Sage, could you fight that?"

Naruto asked timidly, feeling he couldn't.

Jiraiya's face twitched. The power of the Flame Emperor far exceeded his understanding of Fire Release. He couldn't face it head-on, only escape.

"Of course, I could."

But in front of his disciple, he had to save face.

This earned him a look of respect from Naruto.

Which made Jiraiya turn away awkwardly.

Tsunade rolled her eyes but watched the screen seriously.

In her understanding, only her grandfather, Hashirama, could possibly counter this.

"Is the pirate world this powerful? They better not appear here."

Tsunade worried about what would happen if such people appeared in their world.

After all, there were these containment objects mysteriously appearing in different worlds.

This thought made Tsunade worried about the future, feeling she couldn't continue to slack off.

On the screen, Ace was on his knees, exhausted and panting. Using that move had drained his strength significantly.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been captured by Teach so easily.

"Is it over?"

Ace looked at the charred vines around him but his expression changed when he saw the still wriggling vines in the distance.

"What a terrifying monster, I have to run."

Reluctantly, Ace decided to flee, realizing he had no other option.

"Ace, where do you think you're going!"

At that moment, Teach suddenly appeared behind Ace.

"Damn!"

Ace had just remembered Teach but was too late, getting punched to the ground by Teach.

"Dark Water!"

Teach grabbed Ace by the neck, nullifying his abilities, leaving him defenseless.

"Caught you again, you never learn. Despite the unexpected situation, it doesn't stop me from taking you!"

Teach looked around. The place was no longer safe; they had to leave quickly.

"Damn it!"

Ace gritted his teeth, feeling helpless at being captured again.

Thousand Sunny.

"Ace!!"

Luffy shouted in panic, punching the screen instinctively.

"Strange, why was Ace captured? He can turn into fire, right?"

Franky sensed something was wrong.

"It's the darkness in Teach's hand."

Robin seemed to understand, voicing her guess.

"Ace! Run!"

Luffy didn't understand much, just hoping Ace could escape, feeling utterly useless.

"Let's go, Ace. Enjoyed your extra bit of freedom?"

Teach lifted Ace, ready to leave.

"Ace!!!!"

At that moment, a powerful yet aged voice echoed across the island.

Hearing this, Teach trembled, fear etched into his bones rising uncontrollably.

"You sure know how to cause trouble! Don't think you can escape from me!"

An old man leaped from the sky, none other than the hero of the marines, Garp!
