Pirates: Trainer on the Straw Hat Ship.

Chapter 415 Times Have Changed (asking for monthly votes~)

"The Eternal Pointer of Raftan Road!?"

The moment Barrett revealed the so-called Roger's treasure, the eyes of the whole world seemed to be focused on the inconspicuous treasure chest in his palm.

At the same time, the news about the birth of the final island, Raftel, was quickly spread to the world through Festa’s live broadcast.

"How daring! How dare you display such a treasure so blatantly?"

"Just those two guys!?"

On the navy warship approaching the Celebration Island, Smoker, who had also received the news, widened his eyes in shock and looked solemnly at the island they were about to arrive at.

But at this moment, a calm laugh suddenly came from beside him:

"Haha... With that level of power alone, it's of course impossible!"

"But if they have other means, that may not be the case!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fujitora suddenly raised the cane sword at his waist.

This cane sword was a weapon specially equipped for him as a navy admiral after he joined the navy with the resources of the navy and the world government...

One of the twelve supreme swords.

It's called: Gambler's Fireline!!!
shuh~
As the bright white blade slowly emerged from the scabbard, an invisible wave suddenly gushed out from Fujitora's body.

In the blink of an eye, that power actually spanned the entire island and was injected into all the naval warships surrounding the Celebration Island.

next moment.

Rumble, rumble...

The sea, which was not very calm to begin with, suddenly emitted a low humming sound.

The naval warship covered by Fujitora's fruit power suddenly broke away from the sea and hovered high in the sky.

"General Yixiao, what is this!?"

Smoker, who was standing next to Fujitora, immediately showed a look of surprise.

But at this moment, Barrett, who was fighting in the center of the Celebration Island, spoke again:
"It's almost time!!!"

"Then... let's raise the signal smoke!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Barrett turned his gaze to Luffy again and laughed crazily:

"Kid! Your form should be the awakening of some strange animal-type fruit ability, right!?"

"Ha!" he sneered.

"That's great. I'll let you see my fruit power awaken!!!"

As he spoke, a large area of ​​strange purple waves suddenly emerged from Barrett's body, rushing around like a rushing flood.

"Let's start! Meili, get into the air!"

Seeing this scene, the Straw Hat crew, who had been prepared, hurried to Merry's side and escorted the ship into the sky, avoiding the invasion of that strange power.

But the other pirate ships on the island were not so lucky!

There are thousands of pirates coming to the celebration island for this Pirate Carnival, and naturally there are thousands of pirate ships.

The pirate ships that can sail in such a harsh environment as the New World are naturally all top-notch ships and very valuable.

But under the ability of Barrett's fruit, all the ships docked at the port were covered by his ability, turning into fluid-like forms and converging towards his body.

"What...what is this!?"

Watching their own White Horse disappear without a trace, Cavendish and all the members of the Handsome Pirates seemed to be petrified at that moment, all frozen in place.

There were quite a few pirates in the same situation as them at this time.

However, they were weak and could only watch helplessly as the strange power swallowed up the pirate ship and continued to devour the surroundings.

The buildings in the town, the solid mountains, the trees along the way...

In the blink of an eye, the entire Celebration Island was "swallowed" by Barrett's ability, turning into the most basic matter and rushing towards him, quickly condensing into an even larger and more terrifying steel behemoth.

But at this moment...

"Um!?"

Barrett, who was laughing wildly, was suddenly stunned.

Because the scene he expected where the admiral's power would surge across the sea and swallow all the naval warships did not appear!
That's right!

Barrett has become so powerful that he has developed the ability of his devil fruit to the point where he is not afraid of sea water. Even along a small sea surface, he can still fuse the inorganic objects around him.

But just when his power was about to go out to sea, he unexpectedly saw hundreds of naval warships floating in the air, just avoiding the fluctuation of his power.

It is true that the awakened superhuman can influence the environment.

But it is not possible to have no contact with the medium at all and affect it out of thin air.

"Damn it! Have we been discovered?!"

Barrett cursed inwardly.

Their original plan was to gather a large number of pirates and navy to the vicinity of the Celebration Island, and then use the power of the awakened Fusion Fruit to absorb all of their ships and weapons, create the strongest force, and dominate the world!
Unexpectedly...

The navy, which he planned to be fooled, actually took defensive actions one step ahead.

Hundreds of naval warships are far less in number than thousands of pirate ships.

From the perspective of the value of the materials...

There is not much difference between the two, and the navy with hundreds of warships may even be superior!
After all, the scale of the navy's deployment this time is ten times that of the Demon-Slaying Order!
Each battleship is a steel beast on the sea, and the weapons and ammunition it carries are beyond the imagination of ordinary pirates.

The fusion fruit only changes the shape of matter and cannot change its properties.

Now that the plan has been exposed, Barrett's plan has fallen far short of expectations.

But soon, a fierce light flashed in his eyes!
"It doesn't matter! With my current form, I am not afraid of any guy!"

"First kill this Straw Hat Boy in front of you, and then go shoot down those navy warships."

"By then, I will still be the strongest person in the world!!!"

As his thoughts flashed through his mind, Barrett, a steel behemoth that was hundreds of meters tall, suddenly stomped forward, causing the ground to wail.

"Redfield, how long are you going to lie down?!"

"Haven't you had enough of lying down in Impel Down for decades?!"

"idiot!!!"

Suddenly, a figure emerged from the ground, and with a whistling sound, it flew directly into the sky.

When Redfield appeared again, he first glanced at Chihong who had been locking his aura on him, and then looked at Barrett's huge monster with dissatisfaction.

After all, their plans were similar, but Barrett had already completed half of it, while he didn't even have a chance to act.

How could he laugh with such a contrast?

That's right!

Like Barrett, Redfield also has a plan to use this celebration to become a powerful monster.

And his plan just happened to not conflict with Barrett's.

That is……

He sucked the blood of all the pirates and navy on the island, and transformed it into his own power with the power of the vampire fruit!
The stronger the owner of the blood is, the greater the increase he can get through the ability of the fruit.

With the blood of the New World pirates on this island and nearly a hundred pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million, Redfield is confident that he is no weaker than Barrett who has completed his plan.

But now, not only did he fail to suck blood once, but he was also hit inexplicably.

Perhaps because of his age, Redfield is not as impulsive as Barrett.

He originally planned to take advantage of the opportunity of being knocked into the ground to think carefully, and take the chance to launch a sneak attack on several billion-level pirates.

However, the sensation from his Observation Haki told him that as long as he dared to show his head and take action, the same attack would come upon him again.

Thinking of this, Redfield finally suppressed the negative emotions in his heart, took a deep breath, and said calmly:
"Don't forget our plan Barrett!"

"I need you to help me hold back those strong men from the Straw Hat Pirates!" "There's something wrong with that guy called Red! His aura isn't that strong, but he can burst out with a terrifying and strange power!"

"Heh~ I think you, old man, got knocked unconscious!?"

Although he had not reached his ideal state, Barrett, who was equally powerful, snorted but did not reject Redfield's request.

Plans change.

He was really worried whether he could intercept the power of the Navy Admiral in his current form.

So even though he had always been alone, he chose to comply with their cooperation at this time.

"Haven't you two discussed this yet?!"

At this moment, a voice suddenly interrupted the conversation between Barrett and Redfield.

A red figure suddenly appeared between the two of them, and then said with a calm smile:
"If the fight doesn't start soon, the audience will get impatient!"

"Kid!"

Seeing Chihong appear, Barrett roared instantly.

The huge steel monster suddenly stretched out its arms and grabbed Chihong.

But then, another voice suddenly rang out.

"Rubber rubber... White giant!!!"

Huh~! ! !

The pure white flames suddenly infected the entire sky's clouds, as if they were going to cover the world.

Suddenly, a white giant appeared.

It was Luffy who used the power of Nika to transform himself into the same size as Barrett's steel behemoth.

"What!?"

Looking at the huge Luffy who suddenly appeared, Barrett's eyes were fixed with fear.

And his palm that was originally attacking Chihong was directly grasped tightly in Luffy's hand.

But then, Luffy frowned slightly, with obvious doubt in his eyes.

"What's happening here!?"

Luffy opened his mouth curiously, and the next moment, he raised his palm slightly...

I saw that the huge palm that was big enough to cover the sky and the sun was actually lifted up by Luffy.

"So weak..."

Luffy sighed, then suddenly stretched out his arm and actually pushed the huge monster controlled by Barrett backwards. It was extremely strange.

This scene immediately made Barrett, Redfield, as well as Festa and others who were far away in the operations room, scream in shock.

"impossible!!!"

Barrett, who believed in his own strength and ability from beginning to end, had bloodshot eyes.

On the contrary, Chihong was not too surprised to see this.

After all, in the original work, even though he absorbed the steel armor of the navy battleship, it was still broken by Usopp's plants, and his arm was cut off by Lucci's moon step...

What's more, Barrett's plan was only half successful at this time.

Facing the (Nika + Pokémon) Luffy who defeated the Four Emperors, the level of power was huge!

Boom! ! !

The entire celebration island suddenly emitted a deafening buzzing sound.

Luffy just swung his hand and lifted the huge steel beast into the air, then started to spin rapidly.

"Rubber rubber...white over-the-shoulder throw!!!"

boom! ! !
Barrett and his steel armor were thrown to the ground by Luffy, raising a cloud of dust.

At this moment, everyone on the island was stunned again.

The monster that seemed like the end of the world to them turned out to be just like this...

Got knocked down! ?

"Who is the giant anyway?!"

Heldin and five other giant pirates who witnessed the battle between "giants" for the first time huddled in a corner far away from the battlefield, looking at the scene before them as if they were questioning their lives.

As for Cavendish and others, there is no need to describe how they felt.

After seeing the vastness of the world, they no longer have the arrogance and pride they once had. They become like drooping cucumbers, wilting.

After all, they couldn't figure out what kind of training was needed to become as powerful as Luffy and the others.

“Uh…Pfft…”

Barrett, who was hit hard, suddenly coughed up blood.

But this is just the beginning!
Luffy became unhappy when he found that Barrett's strength did not meet his expectations. He grabbed Barrett's steel body and started smashing it like the Hulk swung Loki.

one more time.

Each time, the island will shake violently, as if an earthquake is hitting.

At the same time, it also completely shattered the ambitions of Barrett and others.

"This...how is this possible?!"

Festa stood in front of the desk in the operations room, his hands resting on the table, his head lowered, a look of astonishment.

However, the underground kings who were connecting to him next to him were uttering words of "comfortable" one after another at this moment.

It was Festa who acted so aggressively just now, threatening to kill them all and start a world-class war.

Now they see the battle on the field and only want to say two words:

That's it?

……

……

"Bar...Barrett!?"

at the same time.

Seeing his partner being humiliated in this way, Redfield was stunned on the spot.

But before he could come to his senses, a red figure suddenly appeared behind him, then chuckled and murmured:
"Senior, times have changed!"

boom! ! !
The roar of time that had been condensed long ago attacked Redfield's back again, just like before!

The Time Roar, which could affect the perception of Observation Haki, fell directly on Redfield, knocking him away again.

Redfield's strength is not weak.

But he is still one level behind strong men like Roger.

The reason why he can be on par with Roger and others is probably because he retired very early, long before Roger, Whitebeard, Golden Lion and others grew into their Ultimate Forms.

In addition, Redfield's observation Haki can indeed be regarded as the world's top-notch, so the saying that they are equals is circulating in the world.

But in fact, even if he regained his victory, Redfield's real combat power was at most at the level of a navy admiral.

And after the power of his Observation Haki is blocked by the Roar of Time, his fighting effectiveness will be greatly reduced.

“That’s why I said… everyone is here to relax~”

Looking at Redfield's figure turning into a meteor and flying away, the corners of his red mouth raised slightly, and then his figure flashed and followed closely.

Given the enemy's strength, the battle doesn't need to be taken so seriously.

But he really wants the power of the vampire fruit!!!
