One Piece: Adopting Akainu at the beginning, adopted son Barrett

Chapter 178 Fight!
"Yohohohoho~ Yohohohoho~"

"Let me get you that, Binx's fine wine!"

"Riding the wind and waves, free and easy, the waves are surging and the tides are surging~"

Sitting alone in a boat in the lonely tunnel, Redfield hummed his favorite song.

He had heard it on a group of pirates, a group of pure musicians and adventurers. He went out to sea just to find them and hear the song from their mouths.

Just like when we were in the small town.

However, he had been searching for them for a long time but had not seen any trace of them, and he had also asked around but had not found any news.

Even some legendary pirates on the sea don't know the whereabouts of this group of pirates.

A group of dirty little tails were hanging behind his boat, but Redfield ignored them and continued to hum a song leisurely while driving in the tunnel.

He could have returned to the Four Seas through the Calm Belt, but he thought it was too troublesome. Coincidentally, he also heard from Newgate about this passage that even the great pirate Rocks did not dare to take.

For some unknown reason, he was inexplicably determined to force his way through the only passage in the red earth continent.

So far, it seems to be going quite smoothly, even a little boring.

The guys guarding this side are mostly just miscellaneous soldiers, and none of them can even withstand a blow from his sword.

The most important thing is that their hearts are extremely dirty and ugly, the kind of dirty and ugly that makes Redfield feel deeply disgusted.

Fortunately, his special ability has a range, otherwise the entire ocean current would be stained with blood and the smell of blood would linger for a long time.

"Ah! Finally, a guy of importance has arrived, the current Admiral of the Navy, Sora Cyborg!"

Suddenly, the boat stopped strangely. Redfield opened his eyes and looked up at the man with his hands on the rock wall.

And a thin layer of mist covering him.

Two voices lingered in Redfield's ears: the mist and the Admiral's inner thoughts:
"This is Redfield. Seeing is believing. You should be able to hear me, right? I can also feel your emotions right now. Surprise? Pleasure?
Although I also want to talk to you more, I'm sorry, I don't like your personality and abilities, so sooner or later we will become enemies, like now."

This was the voice of the cloud. Redfield knew that it was a person with special abilities, but...

How did he know about my special ability? I have never revealed it to the outside world!
And soon, the cloud seemed to use some special technique to block his mind from being peeped!
Redfield was quite surprised and delighted.

How many years had it been? How many years had it been? He had finally met the first person who had made him curious! At the same time, he was overwhelmed with joy that he could not peek into someone else's heart for the first time!

However, Kong's voice interrupted Redfield's thoughts, making his mood worse in an instant.

He is a rather egocentric guy and really hates being interrupted!

"Whoosh!"

Without any communication, Redfield was instantly covered with armed color, raised his hand and swung a flying sword to slash forward.

A huge chopping wave swept across the rock wall inside the Red Earth Continent, and the blow that could split the sea only left a shallow mark on it.

This is the power of the Red Earth Continent!

Unlike the vast ocean, which is ever-flowing and endless, the red soil continent is "very small" in size, but its hardness is far beyond imagination.

Even the precious tree Adam is not even one tenth as hard as its interior!

This is also the reason why for hundreds of years only the world government has the ability to open a channel through it. This channel represents the deterrent power of this centuries-old antique.

"What a fierce flying slash! Even Shiki's slashing attack is only this powerful. The monsters in the sea are really coming one after another!"

Kong dodged the slash with ease, but said nothing, feeling deeply moved.

But he never expected that his inner thoughts would be exposed in front of Redfield!
"Cyborg Punch!"

Kong did not sit still and wait for death. He only called the wrong name but did not give the wrong nickname. Cowering is not the style of steel!
He loosened his grip on the rock wall.

In the hundred-meter-high hole, his figure slid down rapidly, and the Moon Step, one of the Six Styles of the Navy, was activated, allowing him to stay in mid-air.

The armament color was not covered but released instead, invisible armor was cast around the body, and Kong rushed towards Redfield with a pair of iron fists.

"Whoosh-"

A huge airflow emerged around him, his fists tore through the air, and the sound of wind was heard in the closed passage.

"Ding!"

Redfield raised his umbrella to block the attack, causing a sound of metal clashing.

"That's interesting. This texture and sense of power give me the same feeling as that bitch Charlotte Lingling!"

"Ting~"

Sparks flew, and Redfield used a powerful jolt to push himself and Sora away, and while the two of them were putting some distance between them, he did not forget to comment.

So arrogant!

This was the first impression Redfield gave Sora.

"Arrogant? No, I'm just stating a fact. The feeling of my sword hitting your fist is the same as it was when it hit that woman. You're strong, and this is a compliment!"

Redfield saw through Kong's inner thoughts and said elegantly while standing on the boat that was blown dozens of meters away by the impact of the fight, quietly admiring Kong Dao's expression. Since there was already a guy on the other side who knew his abilities, there was no need for him to hide them. Revealing them openly would only make the enemy more restrained.

On the opposite side, Sora's face was filled with horror.

How did he know what I was thinking!
I had clearly been keeping a poker face the whole time, not showing any emotion or words on my face!
This is so weird!
"Rose, what's going on?"

Sora whispered without hesitation, clinging to the rock wall with both hands, and watching Redfield with a vigilant look.

He admitted that he was a little panicked. This ability made him think of Ross and Yixiao's special observation Haki.

Compared to Redfield and Roger, they both don't care about the leakage of their abilities.

"It's possible. After all, I know of no less than three special abilities of Observation Haki. This sea is so magical. Can't your Armament Haki also cover the bone level?"

Ross' words rang in Sora's ears, causing Redfield to be interested from afar.

It was the first time he saw a natural ability user using his fruit ability in this way. It was so creative!

It seems to be making its own original sound through the sound of the element itself!
On the other hand, Kong Xin understood and his evaluation of Redfield rose to a higher level.

The special ability of observation to see into other people's inner thoughts?

It’s incredible!

Doesn't this mean that I can predict the enemy's next move in advance without using my observation Haki? No, that doesn't count.

After all, the battle situation is ever-changing, and the physical masters rely more on the instincts of their bodies rather than their thoughts.

The stronger a person is, the more obsessed they become with their instincts.

Give the battle to your body, not your thoughts!

The Observation Haki can also deceive each other! This is also the basic theory of "Observation Killing" mentioned by Ross, which relies on the underlying logic of "deceiving the Observation Haki".

"Kill by sight and hearing?"

Not far away, Redfield asked in confusion and cast a questioning look at the layer of mist surrounding Sora.

He was familiar with the deception of Observation Haki, and he was an expert in this area. When he fought with Charlotte Linlin, he used this technique and prevented her from touching him even once. That was definitely the easiest opponent he had ever defeated.

But this trick is not effective when used against Newgate, Ski and Roger.

But what is "jianwensha"? Is it an advanced technique of jianwensha deception?

"Rose, is that the name? Nasdaq Ross, I've heard of you. I plan to visit Cloud Island when I return to the voyage to see if you are as the rumors say.

Now I am even more curious about you! I wonder if you are willing to share with me the so-called "seeing and hearing killing"?

Redfield politely bent down thirty degrees, took off his hat, and held an umbrella with one hand, like a perfect gentleman.

"Steel Star Crusher!"

What responded to him was Kong's pair of iron fists.

The pitch-black Armament Haki no longer radiated outward but wrapped around him, even penetrating deeply into Sora's muscles and bones, covering his entire body with Armament Haki.

The huge impact no longer felt like the previous temptation.

"boom!"

The fist hit Redfield's umbrella with a loud bang, a hurricane surged in the hole, and an invisible shock wave was fired behind him like a cannon, rushing straight to the entrance in the distance.

“Boom-bang!”

A dull sound rippled, and a huge air cannon was fired from one end of the passage, followed by a strong wind gushing out. The wind blades cut the sea surface wantonly, and the cannonballs shot straight into the distant sea.

“Whoosh~ Boom!”

There was a loud bang when the air cannon hit the sea surface, and the huge waves it created spread far away like a huge tsunami.

In the tunnel, Redfield, who had taken the blow head-on, had blood oozing from the corner of his mouth.

"You are as strong as Newgate, but he uses the power of vibration to penetrate my body, while you simply use the power to penetrate. You are a really strong opponent!"

He commented slowly in front of Sora.

Without waiting for Kong to throw another punch, Redfield took the initiative to retreat this time, allowing Kong's fist to hit the air with a bang.

"It seems that I have to show some real skills. No wonder Newgate said that even Rocks didn't dare to force his way through this waterway. Kong, I recognize your strength!"

"Who needs a pirate's approval? Go to hell! Cyborg Meteor Hammer!"

"As grumpy as Shiki, Mr. Marshal. Wind Chime Thousand Strike Umbrella!"

Redfield gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his slightly damaged internal organs recovered instantly under the powerful vitality.

Holding up the umbrella, he made a standard rapier starting gesture, then stabbed at the attacking Sora with a thousand strikes.
