Whitebeard sent...

Golden Lion Shiki: "The development level of the Devil Fruit is only intermediate? I asked, Fire Fist Ace, what level are your other skills?"

Fire Fist Ace: "Why are you asking this?"

Golden Lion Shiki: "Nothing, I just figured out why you were beaten."

Fire Fist Ace: "..."

Although he wanted to refute, he could not come up with strong evidence. The reason was very simple: his skill level was very low.

While his Mera-mera Fruit development was only intermediate, it was already his best statistic. Skills such as Conqueror's Haki, Taiju, shooting, and swordsmanship were only low-level, and his swordsmanship skills were not even lit.

But this couldn't be entirely his fault; after all, he was too young. He went to sea at the age of seventeen, and his strength was similar to that of Luffy when he first set sail. He was a weak chicken in the Grand Line.

Then luck broke out, and he acquired the Mera-mera Fruit. After realizing the horror of Logia Devil Fruit, he put his main energy on the development of Devil Fruit's ability. A year later, he entered the New World. With the blessing of his terrifying talent, he had the strength of Seven Warlords of the Sea, comparable to the sea hero Jinbei. He was equivalent to Luffy during the Summit War.

Then he joined the Whitebeard Pirates. Ace, who was extremely lacking in love, found a sense of belonging in the Whitebeard Pirates, and found the meaning of his existence. His desire for strength was not so strong.

Through the Whitebeard Pirates, Ace learned about Conqueror's Haki and initially learned how to use it. But under the banner of the Whitebeard Pirates, it was difficult for him to experience life and death battles like before.

In addition, the Whitebeard Pirates were not a place with a strong cultivation atmosphere, and his strength growth rate had slowed down rapidly. During the Summit War period, he was equivalent to a weakened version of Luffy two years later.

After all, when Luffy was on an uninhabited island, he had really assiduous practice, fighting against beasts every day.

Ace's talent was not stronger than Luffy's, and his cultivation strength was also inferior to him, so it was normal for his strength to be weaker than Luffy two years later. With such strength, it was not surprising that he was defeated by Blackbeard and beaten to death by Akainu.

Whitebeard: "Damn Golden Lion, you talk too much!"

Golden Lion Shiki: "Hehe! Whitebeard, you don't seem to care about the lives of your sons! So far, you haven't given Ethan a single red envelope!"

Whitebeard: "I'm thinking. What's your hurry?"

"Ding! Whitebeard sent an exclusive red envelope [Talent - Advanced, Recessive, Explicit] to the group owner Ethan!"

Fisher Tiger: "Does Mr. Newgate's talent also contain both implicit and explicit characteristics? I thought it was just me!"

Pirate King Roger: "Two traits? Really! What's going on? Whitebeard not only has hidden talents like us, but also explicit talents like Charlotte Linlin and Kaido?"

Golden Lion Shiki: "Isn't it? I thought, Whitebeard, that you, like me and the bastard Roger, grew up little by little. I didn't realize that you turned out to be a traitor! I said, are you also a natural monster?"

Whitebeard: "Go away, I'm not an outlier like Linlin and Kaido."

Golden Lion Shiki: "Really? That's weird! By the way, does Fisher Tiger also have a dominant talent?"

Ethan: "I used Charlotte Linlin and Kaido of the Beasts as examples just to illustrate the characteristics of obvious sexual talents, not to say that all explicit talents are the same as them. Fisher Tiger is a merman, and his explicit talent is the ability to survive in the water brought about by his special shape. Whitebeard is 6.66 meters tall, and his dominance is the powerful force brought by the giants."

While speaking, Ethan received Whitebeard's red envelope and suddenly felt a powerful force gushing out of his body. Whatever physique Whitebeard, who is the same age as him but has not cultivated, has, it was superimposed on him.

Whitebeard: "@Ethan, after you get my talent, will you also become a giant?"

Golden Lion Shiki: "Haha, that would be interesting."

Ethan: "You think too much, it's not like that. I just got your talent, not your bloodline. It's like I got the Mera-mera Fruit ability, but I don't have the Devil fruit power, I'm not afraid of the sea or seastone, and a Mera-mera Fruit won't appear on the sea."

Whitebeard: "In that case, can you become a dual fruit person like Teach?"

Ethan: "As long as it is given to me through the chat group, let alone two Devil Fruit abilities, I can handle 100 Devil Fruit abilities."

Whitebeard: "Gurararara, is it? That's really great. You can have a variety of Devil Fruit capabilities. You must let Teach know."

"Ding! Whitebeard sent an exclusive red packet [Shock Fruit Ability - Top] to group owner Ethan!"
