47. Revolutionaries’ Decision. Half-A-Month later.

│3rd Person POV│

[Grand Line, Baltigo, Revolutionary Army Headquarters…]

"Supernova with a bounty of 300 million! Whitebeard's heir! What an extraordinary kid!"

Inside the Revolutionary Army base, Dragon was looking at the Bounty Poster in his hand.

After watching for a few minutes, he put down the reward order, looked to the side, and said, "Sabo, what do you think of this Ron?"

Hearing this, Sabo frowned.

In the next second, he said, "It should be the Marines' plan to kill with a borrowed knife. Marines don't want to see the birth of a new Whitebeard.

"Even if this Ron does not have his Tremor-Tremor Fruit, there is no doubt about his potential.

"And it's very much possible that the Marines are more apprehensive of him than we think; otherwise, it would be impossible to directly offer a bounty of 300 million Berries.

"You know, according to the information, Ron's strength is only at the Lieutenant Commander level.

Hearing this, Dragon nodded. He had already thought of this. After looking at the reward order with a complicated expression, he continued, "Inform the people in the Revolutionary Army not to mess with Ron if they meet him.

"If possible, sell him some favors. If he needs help, we will help him if we can.

"Whitebeard's heir, if we can get his help, our possibility of developing a revolutionary army in the New World will greatly increase in the future."

"Yes!"

After agreeing, Sabo understood Dragon's thoughts and immediately walked aside to begin delivering orders with the phone bug.

At the same time, powerful factions all over the world have already made their decisions.

It's either cooperation, assassination, or trying to fish in troubled waters.

Unknowingly, Ron has become the center of this attention, becoming the eye of a new storm.

Once this matter detonated, the sea would be in turmoil.

│3rd Person POV│

[Grand Line, New World, Moby Dick, Half-a-month later…]

In more than half a month, under Thatch's guidance and training, Ron's strength had improved by leaps and bounds.

He successfully learned all the remaining techniques of the Enhanced Marine Six Styles.

Although the other four types, except for Moonwalk and Shunpo, were only at the Entry level, they have also greatly improved his strength.

Especially the improvement in physical fitness has made his strength reach the stage of a Marine Commander. Although it was only a single-level improvement, the qualitative change it brought to him was about tenfold.

In addition, under this half-month of non-stop special training, Ron's development of the Copy-Copy Fruit had reached 25%. There was still only 5% left before he could reach 30% development, which would provide him with another Copy slot.

Similarly, in such non-stop battles, Ron also developed a lot of the power of the Phoenix Fruit.

For example, he has basically learned most of Marco's signature moves. He was just unable to unlock the Human-Beast Hybrid Form to fully utilize the fruit's power like Marco.

But even so, according to Thatch's inference, his combat power was now close to that of a Marine Commodore, and even those with the same top-tier Devil Fruit ability within the Captain level were probably no match for him.

"Alright! Here goes notHING!"

With a low roar, dark blue flames burned around Ron.

Immediately afterward, the Blue Flames gathered together at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a piece of armor-like existence that covered and wrapped around Ron's upper body in a short period.

"It's done!"

Seeing this scene, Ron had a big smile on his face.

After standing up from the ground, he took a careful look at his armor.

This special armor, condensed with Blue Flames as its core, had surprisingly strong defensive capabilities.

In addition, Ron had also mixed some Healing Flames with the Blue Flames while creating the armor, allowing it to heal wounds and injuries without him needing to consciously summon Healing Flames for treatment.

Most importantly, the armor could completely envelop his entire body according to his plan. Ron envisioned transforming it into armor that covered his entire body without any obstacles or weight limitations.

However, due to his current strength and control, the armor only covered his upper body and arms.

"What should I call this move? Hmm… How about Blue Flames: Imposter Susanoo?"

"Ron, what are you talking about?"

Ace stepped forward at this time, looking at the flaming armor on Ron's body with a hint of surprise and mostly puzzlement.

As a Logia user, Ace could easily create a similar flame armor on himself, but it lacked defensive power, being just one of the manifestations of flame.

"This is my new move, Blue Flames: Imposter Susanoo!!"

Ron smiled while explaining to Ace, "I integrated it with the Phoenix's Blue Flames and Healing Fire, giving it defensive capabilities.

"I think Susanoo can also accommodate Armament Haki in the future. Once I awaken Armament Haki and coat it over the armor, its defensive capabilities will be even more powerful!"

Ron didn't hide anything when it came to Ace.

In more than half a month, their relationship had improved significantly, reaching the stage of best friends.

Many times, facing Thatch, they had to work together and read each other's intentions frequently to maintain combat effectiveness.

Ron, especially, wanted to change Ace's future, preventing the tragic deaths of Thatch, Ace, and Whitebeard.

"Why 'Imposter Susanoo'?" Ace asked with a perplexed face.

With a small smirk, Ron said, "Well, in my hometown, there was a mangaka who drew a story about ninjas. In that story, there was a character known by the epithet 'The Copy Ninja!'

"He had a special power which was exclusive to a particular Clan only. However, he was better at using the power than almost all the Clan members.

"He had even developed the power to such a stage that he could create a gigantic blue construct around his body that was perfect for defense, offense, and support.

"Some kids back in my hometown referred to him as the Imposter Uchiha. Uchiha is the clan that exclusively had the special power."

"Is that so? You have got to tell me the full story later, alright? Anyways, I don't think my Flare Flare Fruit can accomplish this."

Ace sighed with some envy, "Flare Flare Fruit's power is the natural element of fire and it cannot be solidified in the true sense, let alone being condensed into an armor-like shape.

"However, my Color of Armament has improved vastly in this past half-a-month."

As he spoke, Ace stretched out his hand, and his arm changed at a speed visible to the naked eye and soon, his right hand was fully coated in a layer of jet-black metallic luster.

Astonishingly, Ace's Armament Haki had reached the stage of covering his arms till the elbow, greatly improving his strength compared to at least half a month ago.

A/N: Did you know? In the last chapter, the OG Author had Shanks issue the One Billion Berries on Ron to remove him from the playing field. The OG Author had already decided to make Shanks the villain of this FF.

I didn't like this part as Shanks intention hasn't been made clear in the Canon and I didn't want the major characters personality to be too different from the original.

So, I had someone else put a bounty on Ron in the underworld. Someone who would loved to see more chaos.

What do you guys think of this?

Anyway, time to beg! Power Stones and Review please. Also, don't forget to add this in your library!
