People are sailing, monster hunters are fighting in groups

In the Blue Wolf on the sea not far away, Jin Oga held a wine flask in his hand and happily poured two sips of wine into his mouth.

"Captain Jin Oga, do you really not need to help?" Vice Captain Budios stood beside Jin Oga, holding a telescope and looking at the two people fighting on the shore, and asked uneasily.

On the deck outside, all members of the Fourth Division of the Beast Pirates were lying on the fence, watching the fight between Barrett and Crocodile.

Listening to Budios' words, Jin Oga rolled his eyes fiercely.

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's not easy for someone to help me take a shift today. Can't you let me take a break?"

Help? What a joke!

Crocodile should help me!

Do you know how long I haven't enjoyed a quiet life?

Do you know how I spent this week?

Normally at this time, can I drink this little wine leisurely here?

You guy, don't ruin my good things!

Thinking about the "tragic experience" in recent days, Jin Oga's tears were about to flow into the wine jug in his hand!

Barrett is a famous martial arts fanatic in the Beasts Pirates. When he was in the Beasts Academy, he often liked to go to Elbat and Kaido to seek abuse.

This guy has a high level of comprehension, strong physical fitness, and is one of the best among the interns. Therefore, he has obtained a lot of credits in the Beasts Academy.

The credits in the Beasts Academy can be exchanged for a lot of good things, weapons, martial arts, and even animal-type devil fruits, and Barrett used most of the credits to exchange for recovery medicine...

Being beaten, taking drugs, and resting before challenging...

This is a method that Jin taught him to become stronger quickly. Barrett personally tested it and found that it is indeed very useful!

So he relied on his status as an intern and began to frequently extend his "claws of asking for knowledge" to the captains of various squads.

As graduation approached, he turned his attention to the 4th Division to which he was temporarily assigned...

In the week after joining the team, all members of the 4th Division were trained by Barrett.

Of course, the one who trained the most was the captain of the division, Kingoga.

Originally, Kingoga was happy that a talented young man had joined his division, and was ready to make an effort to keep Barrett in the 4th Division, but now...

You should leave!

"But the opponent is a natural devil fruit user after all, and he looks quite strong. If Barrett loses..." Budios said hesitantly.

"Very strong?"

Kingoga showed a trace of disdain on his face. "He's just a natural type. With his crude melee ability and half-baked domineering, how could he possibly beat Barrett!"

"Captain, the other party is a newcomer with a bounty of 50 million Baileys. It is said that not long ago, an independent pirate group under our command tried to "clean up" this place, but it seems that it was driven away by this guy named Crocodile..." Budios said again.

"Were our independent captains defeated by this guy?"

"Yes, it's the group of people that Kaido boss has recently recruited... I have to say that these guys are really mixed now..."

"Indeed, when I accepted Kaido boss's solicitation, I reluctantly agreed after three requests and three refusal..."

The two were bragging and drinking here, while on the other side of the island, the contest between Barrett and Crocodile also passed a short trial period.

After this short fight, Barrett immediately discovered the tricky side of the natural type devil fruit.

Aside from the large-scale damage that can be dealt at will, the skill of "elementization" alone is a headache.

Elementization can be used actively or passively.

When used passively, the moment the ability user's body is attacked, it will turn into a flowing element, causing the attack to miss.

With this ability, if you don't have the information about the ability's restraint and don't have domineering power, the natural system is basically invincible when facing any enemy.

Of course, elementization is not without countermeasures.

Observation Haki can capture the trajectory of the flow of elements, and Armament Haki can "grab" these flowing elements.

Therefore, when facing an opponent who has mastered the power of domineering power, the ability of elementization is not so useful.

Active elementization uses your own observation Haki to predict the opponent's observation Haki. As long as your observation Haki is strong enough and your reaction speed is fast enough, you can also be immune to the opponent's attack.

But obviously, Crocodile, who now has slight scars on his body, has not reached that level, and has not yet gained the upper hand in the "nesting doll game" of "I predicted your prediction".

SameSimilarly, Barrett also discovered that Crocodile seemed to have a very big shortcoming in close combat.

Come to think of it, the most comfortable way for natural ability users to fight is to use themselves as a mobile turret. Even if the enemy is close, they have the skill of elementalization to dodge.

Therefore, if you don't train deliberately, it's not surprising that close combat becomes a shortcoming.

And let alone Crocodile, didn't a certain admiral of the navy in the future often get scolded by his teacher for this kind of thing!

"Desert Sword!"

Accompanied by Crocodile's low shout, his arm suddenly turned into a sharp blade composed of a large amount of yellow sand.

The next second, the ground was cut by the sharp blade, and the gushing yellow sand swept towards Barrett.

"Slash?"

Barrett raised his right hand, and the rich armed color domineering aura directly blocked the manic sandstorm power.

"This weak attack... break it!"

As Barrett roared, he took a step forward!

Then, relying on the defensive power of Armament Haki, Barrett withstood the power of the 'Desert Sword' and rushed towards Crocodile like a bulldozer.

"You..."

A trace of anger flashed in Crocodile's eyes, and he squatted down and pressed his right hand on the ground.

In an instant, with him as the center, the ground within a few dozen meters of the port of Hanion Island began to dry and crack, and finally turned into a desert.

As soon as Barrett stepped on the desert, he immediately felt something was wrong.

There seemed to be a suction force on the gravel below that kept pulling his feet.

"Is this quicksand?"

Barrett made a prompt decision and immediately stepped on the air, pulling out his feet that were stuck in the gravel, and then punched Crocodile.

"Fist Gun·Crossbow!"

Seeing Barrett escape so easily, Crocodile frowned and raised his hands instantly.

Suddenly, the endless yellow sand under his feet immediately formed a curtain in front of Crocodile, blocking all of Barrett's fierce fists.
