How can I become the Pirate King if you don’t work hard?.

Chapter 399 Large Bullet
"Smorg!"

Smoker swung his 10-hands with all his might, slamming it down on Barrett's arm.

boom!
A sonic boom erupted in the air, and an invisible force passed through his body, causing the submarine deck beneath Barrett's feet to dent slightly.

But the hand gripping Smoker did not loosen its grip in the slightest.

Clearly, Smoker's full-force attack couldn't even shake the man in front of him.

The gap in strength between them has reached a point that inspires despair.

just.

Barrett's gaze towards Smoker held a hint of admiration:
"amazing!"

The essential difference between the strong and the weak is that the strong wield their swords against the stronger, while the weak wield their knives against the weaker.

At this moment, Smoker was naturally seen as a strongman in his eyes.

"Then let me show you the real difference between us!"

The sound fell to the ground.

Barrett grabbed Smoker and flung him toward the harbor.

The latter swept across the sea in an instant, shot into the port's buildings, smashed several buildings in succession, and then fell silent.

Dust and smoke filled the air.

However, no familiar sounds of panic could be heard from the port.

Barrett looked around.

According to the perception transmitted by Observation Haki, the civilians in this port had already evacuated to a distance of several kilometers.

"Did they receive advance intelligence about me, predict my movements, and thus evacuate the civilians here before I landed?!"

Barrett murmured to himself, momentarily lost in thought.

There was once a naive man who would have done something like that.

But now that man has been publicly executed in front of the whole world, and he also single-handedly created the Age of Exploration!
"Barrett!"

Buena Festa poked his head out of the submarine's hatch and spoke up to remind him:

"It's time to take action!"

"Even though we are somewhat unwilling, we are not yet a match for Knight Gawain."

"This deal is essentially a gamble."

"Wait a moment."

"It's possible to lose everything."

"I see."

Barrett nodded, his expression returning to normal.

a month ago.

After he and Buena Festa devised a plan to seize the world's number one martial arts tournament, he tracked down the person behind the tournament and eventually found Gawain.

The result surprised both of them, but also felt reasonable.

After all, the first martial arts tournament in the East Blue relied on the endorsement of Gawain, who was one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Only powerful beings at the level of Sea Emperors are qualified to plan the entire ocean and are unafraid of the World Government's threats.

However, it was impossible to make Barrett back down, so he simply fought his way to Britannias.

Go and see for yourself how far that man who stood on the shoulders of the white-bearded giant has gone to become the strongest in the world!
"You first submerge the submarine to the open sea. If things go wrong, immediately evacuate Britannias."

"The maximum diving depth of this submarine exceeds 300 meters."

"This depth is sufficient to evade the vast majority of tracking devices."

Buena Festa was taken aback:
"how about you?!"

"Have you ever seen a bet leave the table?!"

Barrett's question had barely faded when the submarine sank, and his body shot towards the distant port like a cannonball!
boom!
Debris flew everywhere, the earth cracked, and dust filled the sky!

Barrett landed steadily in the harbor, a ferocious look appearing on his face.

The thought of his impending adversary made his body begin to heat up.

Imprisoned by the World Government for over twenty years, Barrett's combat power has actually improved, reaching a level where he can truly fight Rayleigh at his peak. At this moment, he unleashes his beast-like fighting spirit without any restraint!

Extremely wild! Extremely agitated!
An invisible fighting spirit rose, and a frenzied Conqueror's Haki swept across the land, while a whirlwind swept away the surrounding dust!
Only Barrett's tall figure stood in the harbor.

Although he was only one person, the sense of oppression he brought far surpassed that of an entire massive fleet!
This is a monster that has truly stepped into the ranks of the strongest, approaching the pinnacle!

Standing atop the city wall, Sabo suppressed his domineering aura, gazing at Barrett from afar, his palms already damp with cold sweat.
"A truly formidable fellow has arrived!"

"The Devil's Heir - Douglas Barrett?!"

"Such frenzied Conqueror's Haki, it seems the rumors are true. This guy really is capable of fighting Rayleigh at his peak, and is qualified to challenge the Buster Call alone!"

"With my current strength... I'm no match for this guy!"

Sabo looked serious, raised his hand to adjust his hat, and then turned to leave.

He still had a mission to complete, and it wasn't an extremely urgent moment, so he couldn't reveal his identity.

Moreover, since Barrett invaded Britannias, there would naturally be strong members of Gawain's group to deal with him.

It's a good opportunity to take a look.

Are the Knights of the Round Table under Gawain's command truly as rumored, each possessing the fighting strength of a Shichibukai?

clatter--!
Sabo took a step forward, but his body stopped abruptly as he felt the ground beneath his feet tremble.

An extremely uneasy feeling arose in Sabo's heart, to the point that he felt a chill run down his spine.

Something...is coming!

Sabo turned his head sharply and saw a scene he would never forget.

A special energy, glowing with a dark purple light, spread from Barrett to the entire port.

All buildings, streets, and even ships and rocks that came into contact with the purplish-black light were instantly assimilated, flowing towards Barrett like a tide.

These diverse substances, under the influence of the fusion fruit, merge and coalesce together.

soon.

A jet-black giant, thousands of meters tall, took shape under the influence of the Fusion Fruit.

Sabo felt his vision suddenly darken. He instinctively looked up, only to see the upper body of the black giant already piercing into the clouds.

It simply stands there and completely blocks out the sunlight, casting a shadow that covers the entire harbor!

Even giants, and even the massive demons of the Yun Kingdom, would appear as insignificant as ants compared to such a height!

"What on earth is this..."

"What the hell!"

Sabo's voice trembled slightly.

If Barrett's domineering presence just now made him realize that Barrett truly possessed the fighting power to rival Hades.

The scene before him made him wonder how the Buster Call launched by the World Government back then managed to defeat the monster before him.

"Is this really something a human being could do?"

"Even for ability users and awakened individuals, this scale and size is simply outrageous!"

……

On the sea in the distance.

Buena Festa stood on the deck, equally shocked by what he saw.

Unlike Sabo's fear, Buena Festa was more excited, excited about his partner's powerful combat strength!
"This is……"

"Barrett, the heir of the devil?!" Only now did Buena Festa realize this.

The power that Barrett displayed at their first meeting was merely the tip of the iceberg.

If Barrett had intended to kill him back then, he would probably have died instantly.

"With such power, even facing Britannias directly, victory might not be impossible!"

For some inexplicable reason, Buena Festa had this feeling.

The feeling intensified even more when witnessing the unimaginable behemoth in the center of the harbor!
Can you do it?!
We can definitely do it!
"Barrett!"

Accompanied by a shout from Buena Festa.

The enormous figure standing in the center of the harbor, blotting out the sky, slowly swung its fist!

"Let's see just how far I can go now!"

"A large bullet!"

call--!
The giant arm, hundreds of meters in diameter and nearly a thousand meters long, can cause buildings below to sway precariously even with just a wave!
Such a single blow would destroy the entire port!
This is truly the power of one man against an entire nation!

Sabo had no doubt about this; his excellent Observation Haki even made him realize the extent of the damage this attack would cause!
The instantaneous impact was enough to sink most of the port, and the aftershocks would spread for tens of kilometers around.

The earth cracked and rivers flowed backward!

Centered on this port, the surrounding terrain will be altered!

At the critical moment.

Sabo turned his head and saw transvestites desperately retreating under the organization of the port guards in the distance, as well as countless civilians with panicked faces.

If Barrett's attack landed, he himself might be able to protect himself, but all the civilians present would perish.

There is absolutely no chance of survival!
"This is... a huge problem!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Sabo took his usual water pipe from behind him, shattered the floor beneath his feet with a single step, and charged toward the black giant's arm.

Destroying it before the attack hits can mitigate most of the impact.

This was Sabo's plan, but unexpectedly, a purple figure was much faster and more urgent than him!
"We can't let you take action against this country so easily!"

"A sound?!"

Sabo's lips curled into a slight smile:
"As expected, given your personality, you absolutely cannot sit idly by at a time like this."

"If we join forces and shatter the giant's arm, we can mitigate most of the impact, giving the civilians here a chance to survive!"

"No!"

Zheng——!
Fujitora pulled out the black fuse, his tone resolute and unwavering, radiating absolute confidence:
"Here... I alone am sufficient!"

"You step back, step back as far as you can!"

"Never act impulsively in your life. The giants created by Barrett are beyond human capability to rival!"

Sabo hurriedly tried to dissuade him, but Fujitora had already sped away.

He stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Fujitora, only to see Fujitora slash horizontally at the dark giant in the distance!

"Gravity Blade - Reverse Journey!"

The purple blade energy arrived first, sweeping across the entire battlefield, yet it was like a gentle breeze brushing away dust, failing to sever anything tangible.

As Sabo was puzzled, he was astonished to find that countless pebbles were slowly drifting into the sky from the distant earth.

Even the colossal giant created by Barrett's Fusion Fruit instantly lost its weight.

The power of the punch coming down from above was mostly neutralized by Fujitora's Gravity Fruit. Before it even touched the ground, the black giant had already floated up!

The punch that could have sunk the port did not land, and the people around who witnessed this scene couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Sabo stood there, staring blankly at the figure calmly holding a knife in the distance, momentarily lost in thought.

"He was a power user his entire life, and an extremely powerful one at that!"

Sabo gazed into the distance.

Countless town ruins, as well as the pitch-black giants created by Barrett, floated in mid-air.

Like countless dense dark clouds, they covered the sky!
Sabo's heart pounded, and something suddenly occurred to him:

"After the destruction of the Neo Navy, he probably has nowhere to go now. Given his personality, he would never be willing to fade into obscurity."

"I could feel the passion in his heart."

"Justice and faith continue to burn!"

"If we can invite him to join the revolutionary army, our strength will be replenished, and we will have a greater chance of dealing with future changes!"

"We might even be able to use this opportunity to truly overthrow the rule of the World Government!"

Thinking of this.

Sabo made up his mind.

After this battle, no matter the outcome, Fujitora must join the Revolutionary Army!
"He would surely not refuse a lifetime commitment, would he?!"

……

at the same time.

Inside the giant bullet, Barrett felt weightlessness and was utterly shocked:

"This ability to make objects float instantly... the Float-Float Fruit?!"

"wrong!"

"If the Float-Float Fruit is in our hands, then this guy's ability is definitely a Paramecia-type Gravity Fruit."

"Manipulating gravity, it's rumored that it can even pull meteorites down from space. Even among the vast array of Paramecia-type Devil Fruits, it ranks among the top in terms of power!"

"interesting!"

"Then how would you deal with it?"

Barrett suddenly gripped the control lever tightly, and a massive amount of Armament Haki gushed out from his body like a floodgate being opened.

Completely cover the massive bullet that is thousands of meters high, from the inside out!

"Um?!"

Fujitora's expression changed, and he subconsciously looked up at the sky.

He is blind and can only see a faint light.

As can be seen from the perception transmitted back by audible and visible Haki, the almost infinite Armament Haki completely covered the pitch-black giant!

That amount of Armament Haki... Is this guy even human?!
Mr. Gawain, even just considering the amount of Armament Haki, perhaps you couldn't achieve this level?

While inwardly marveling, Fujitora's expression suddenly turned serious:
"Saab!"

"escape!"

Sabo, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, was stunned for a moment, and then saw the enormous, exaggeratedly large creature plummeting down from the sky.

Even before they get close, the immense air pressure is enough to crush everything below!
The air was filled with the sounds of buildings breaking and twisting under the weight, sending chills down Sabo's spine!
"Is there really nothing we can do about that monster?!"

"what."

Fujitora was unwilling, but he was helpless.

The pitch-black giant was completely covered in Armament Haki, and it was Armament Haki with an intensity strong enough to counteract the power of the Gravity Fruit!

Both in terms of quality and quantity, they are monstrous!
The two were at their wits' end.

In the distant harbor, a semi-transparent portal quietly opened.

Gawain stepped out, glanced at Fujitora and Sabo, then looked up at the falling giant, his eyes narrowing slightly:

"Well, we've found a good target."
