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

Chapter 407 Come, fight, and suffer!
The two men exchanged blows in the air!
boom!
boom!
boom!
The sounds of impacts were continuous.

The impact of the spreading force completely altered the terrain beneath their feet.

The earth caved in, and groundwater gushed out, shimmering like mercury under the moonlight, only to shatter completely in the next instant!

The two men's exaggerated strength instantly brought the surrounding area of ​​several hundred meters into the battlefield!
Zoro, Law, and the others all chose to retreat immediately.

After all, such terrifying destructive power could affect even those in the heart of the battlefield!

"This guy……"

Luo raised his hand to adjust his hat, also discreetly concealing the cold sweat on his forehead:

"Very strong!"

"Maybe he's even better than Chloe, better than Yi Sheng!"

Then, as if remembering something, Luo turned to look at Zoro, a mocking smile playing on his lips:

"Looks like you can finally shed your 'perennial fifth place' title now. But, according to the captain, 'sixth place' isn't a compliment."

"Oh, no."

"After joining the group, you were already number six, so now you're number seven?!"

Zoro's eye twitched, and he glanced sideways at Law:
"how?"

"As Number Nine, do you wish to challenge me!?"

The two placed their hands on the hilts of their swords at the same time, their eyes fixed on each other.

Although Fujitora is strong, the gap in strength between them is too great. Even when they fight, it is almost always one-sided, and it is hard to say that they have a good experience.

However, as swordsmen, Law and Zoro are very close in strength.

In the previous ranking battle, both of them were defeated by Beville, and they have not actually fought each other since.

In addition, more than two months have passed, and both sides have grown considerably, so they naturally crave a worthy opponent.

Zheng——!
The two drew their swords almost simultaneously, and the fighting spirit in the air gradually rose, but just as they were about to reach the critical point, it was blown away by a shock that erupted in the distance!
Gu——!
A frenzied burst of Conqueror's Haki erupted from Barrett, scattering in all directions, causing the surrounding trees to sway wildly and the clothes of Zoro and his companion to flutter.

It was at this very moment.

The two noticed that a figure completely black was blasted away from the core of the battlefield and crashed heavily into the rock wall of the valley.

"real or fake?!"

"Even Captain Akin was suppressed?"

Luo frowned, swallowed hard, and could hardly hide the shock in his eyes.

Zoro, standing to the side, remained completely silent.

They had expectations for Barrett's combat strength. After all, he was a strongman capable of fighting and even gaining the upper hand against Crow. Even under Gawain's command, his combat strength was second only to Gawain himself.

Even Fujitora could only be on par with him at best.

Such combat power is naturally superior to that of Akin, but the battle situation should absolutely not be in this state.

This only proves that Barrett's combat capabilities exceed their expectations!

If we say that the fighting power of Gin, Kuro, and Fujitora is enough to rival that of the Admirals and the Four Emperors,

"This guy... is even stronger than we expected!"

Sanji slowly approached, raising his hand to wipe the dust off his clothes, a hint of caution in his eyes:
"At that moment, I felt like my body was about to fall apart."

"These are the crew members of the Pirate King Roger, beings who are on par with Rayleigh, the Dark King?!"

Luo adjusted his hat, and a smile crept onto his lips beneath the brim, his excitement impossible to conceal.

"If Captain Akin loses, then I'll be next."

"Do you have any objection?"

"No!"

Sanji shook his head, slowly took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and after taking a deep drag, he felt that the soreness all over his body had been relieved a lot.

All that remains is an ever-burning fighting spirit!

"The fight between that guy and me isn't over yet; I haven't been defeated."

Zoro curled his lip:

"Don't be so stubborn, you defeated guy!"

Sanji's expression froze:
"I can still stand up, so what defeat is there? It was just a test between us!"

"No!"

Zoro shook his head, shook the pocket watch in his hand, and laughed:

“I counted the seconds. You’ve been lying on the ground for too long; the time has expired.”

"Come on, this isn't a boxing match."

"Hey Hey hey!"

Luo's expression was one of dissatisfaction:
Don't ignore me!

"asshole!"

The three argued back and forth, each wanting to fight Barrett.

Even though he knew he was probably no match for the monster, he had no intention of backing down; only his fighting spirit was rising within him!
Failure means there's still room for improvement!
These were Gao Wen's original words to them, and they have always inspired everyone.

Beville stood to the side, watching the three bickering with a calm expression, his eyes also filled with barely concealed fervor.

After two years of arduous training, who wouldn't yearn to spar with a strong opponent?
After the initial shock, all that remained in everyone's body was the will to fight!

This scene left Barrett, who was watching from a distance, stunned.

He had fought countless pirates, but even the most powerful figures who had once dominated their regions would lose the slightest desire to fight after witnessing the overwhelming disparity between them.

He had seen similar scenes before.

But that was a long time ago, and there were many belligerent members in Roger's pirate crew.

Rayleigh, Jabba, and the like, though lacking in spiritual practice, are all extremely confident and arrogant individuals!
But what Barrett never expected was that there were so many people like this under Knight Gawain's command!
What's wrong with these guys?!
Unable to perceive the difference in skill between them, this was a battle destined to end in defeat...

Suddenly.

Barrett saw his own reflection in the crowd.

Back then, his attitude of challenging that man time and time again on Roger's ship was remarkably similar to that of the men under Gawain's command.
Somehow.

Barrett asked:
"What do you want?!"

The only response he received was a roar of fury from the crowd:

"The strongest!"

"Then let's go together!"

Barrett grinned maliciously, his Conqueror's Haki blazing as it swept across the entire valley!

Endless purplish-black energy spread outwards from Barrett, assimilating countless stones and rocks, shaping them into a colossal giant over forty meters tall!

Medium-sized bullet!

Compared to large bullets that emphasize extreme destructive power, medium-sized bullets are much smaller, but they are more flexible and can be operated with greater precision!
In a way, this is Barrett's true combat form!
Its destructive power is far less than that of a large bullet, but its overall combat capability is far superior!
"Roar!"

Barrett roared to the sky, an invisible pressure pressing down on the surroundings like a mountain, yet it could not shake the unwavering fighting spirit in everyone's eyes!

In the distance. Whoosh—!
Akin stood up from the ruins, twisted his neck, and his shattered bone armor instantly healed. He then turned his gaze to Barrett, who was in the center of the battlefield.

"interesting!"

"I haven't felt this excited in a long time!"

"Armed - Six Heavenly Demon Kings!"

Kakakaka—!
A Jin's already ferocious bone armor suddenly expanded!
The Armament Haki flowing around him became more solid, almost condensing into a layer of visible black smoke on his body surface, slowly drifting and distorting the air!

"Come again!"

At this moment, everyone took action!

Zoro drew his longsword, Sanji was engulfed in flames, Law unleashed a room space large enough to cover the entire valley, and Bevel raised his hand to open a door in the air, turning the earth upside down!
The six-day demon king, Arkin, with overwhelming power, pressed down on Barrett against the odds!
Facing a lineup of one legendary player and four Gold-ranked players alone, even Barrett felt considerable pressure at this moment.

laugh!laugh!laugh!
An invisible sword aura swept past, and the medium-sized bullet was instantly dismembered by Luo's slash!
"This cutting ability that defies the laws of physics... the Op-Op Fruit?"

Barrett felt his hair stand on end.

The power of the Op-Op Fruit had already caused a sensation throughout the world even before Roger's time.

There are rumors.

Rocks, who roamed the seas and even stormed Mary Geoise, was the previous user of the Op-Op Fruit!
"Another remarkable guy!"

"First, there was the cyborg who ignored injuries that would render an ordinary person unable to fight, and forcefully smashed his own bones back to their original form; then there was the user of the Op-Op Fruit ability who could cut through anything..."

"Both of them are qualified to reach the summit!"

"Based solely on the combat strength displayed so far, the power under Knight Gawain's command is virtually invincible in this era!"

Just how many surprises is this guy hiding?

between words.

Barrett clenched his fist, and purple energy surged forth, instantly reassembling the shattered medium-sized bullet. This time, the Armament Haki wrapped around his fists was even more abundant and stronger!
The medium-sized bullet threw a punch, sending the powerful Akin flying over a kilometer away.

At that moment, Bevel's slash arrived, but it couldn't break through Barrett's Armament Haki, only creating a spark on the latter's body.

Even the invincible Door-Door Fruit couldn't open a door on Barrett!
Clearly, there was a qualitative difference between Bevel's domineering presence and Barrett's. Realizing this, Bevel's tone became serious:
"Zoron!"

"This guy's Armament Haki is harder than we imagined. Stop holding back and use the real thing!"

"learn!"

Zheng——!
As Zoro drew his Muramasa sword, an invisible killing intent emanated from his body, forming a nearly tangible layer of crimson energy!
His eyes also turned bloodshot at that moment!
The twin swords in his hands spun slowly, and an extremely powerful will flowed in the air, becoming increasingly frenzied.

At this moment, Zoro was like a demon emerging from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood!

"You guy..."

Barrett sensed Zoro's difference and was slightly taken aback.

He sensed a familiar aura emanating from Zoro—the aura of a king!
Does this man also have the qualities of a king?
"Do you want to be king?!"

Zoro's gaze remained unwavering, and his movements suddenly quickened. It was at this moment that he delivered his answer:

"That kind of thing doesn't matter, what I want is to be the strongest!"

"Nine mountains and eight seas form one world; gathering a thousand worlds creates a 'small thousand worlds.' This world multiplied by three, without exception, is the essence of the Three-Sword Style..."

"One Great Thousand Worlds!"

The demon sword Muramasa slashed forward, sweeping across the surrounding area in an instant.

Within a radius of several kilometers, the affected forests, rivers, and mountains were cut in half, and even the cliffs surrounding the valley were bombarded and cracked on the spot.

Dust and smoke filled the air, completely altering the terrain.

The medium-sized bullet located at the center of the attack was sliced ​​open on the spot by Zoro's slash, and even the central Bullet was exposed to the air.

Crash-!
The rock beneath Kuro's feet collapsed, and he leaped into the air, manipulating the air currents to levitate. He looked at Zoro, who had made the move, unable to hide his surprise:
"Perhaps he himself is unaware that he has awakened Conqueror's Haki?!"

"I thought Beville would be the next to reach the Legendary level, but now it seems Zoro will beat him to it."

"but."

Kro looked around and saw only a scene of chaos:
"This valley is no longer usable; we need to find a new place for cultivation."

High in the sky.

Barrett looked at the figure slowly falling into the distance, his admiration almost undisguised:
"amazing!"

He spared no praise.

After all, the last man who ignored his own Armament Haki and cut open Bullet was named Gawain.

The synonym of invincibility.

Although the difficulty levels differ, Zoro's ability to achieve this level is already something to be proud of.

"But...it's not enough!"

"Far from enough!"

"Let me see your limits!"

Barrett roared, and the bullet that had been cut apart was reassembled, becoming even more oppressive as Barrett's fighting spirit rose!

He maintained a defensive posture to see just how far the elite Knights of the Round Table could go.

The result far exceeded his expectations!

Each and every one of them has the potential to reach the top of the legends; such a lineup would have surpassed even Rocks thirty years ago.

"Qi!"

Zoro's expression was solemn:

"Is it pointless to merely damage the outer armor without harming the main body?!"

"but……"

"To be able to make a few more cuts, that's...exciting!"

He no longer suppressed Muramasa's instincts, but even actively awakened them.

In two years, Zoro has completely tamed Muramasa and is no longer at risk of being controlled by the sword!
This change has further propelled Zoro's swordsmanship to a higher level, and in terms of combat power alone, he has completely surpassed his level during the Wano Country period!
Even the next level is just one step away!
Sanji stood at a distance, watching Zoro's retreating figure, a faint smile playing on his lips:

"Has it come to this? Only then are they worthy of being my opponent!"

Sanji raised his hand and took the cigarette butt from his mouth.

The crimson flames around his body suddenly rose dozens of meters high, only to be compressed back into his body in an instant.

During this process, the color of the flames kept changing, from red to yellow, from yellow to blue, and finally, when it was completely attached to Sanji's leg, it had turned purple!
This is the hottest of all flames!
He had developed Germa 66's bloodline factor to its fullest extent, and the power hidden within this body was now fully revealed.

What Judge sees as a failure is approaching the pinnacle of this sea in a way he never imagined.

boom--!
Sanji stomped his foot heavily, leaped high into the air, and crashed down on Barrett like a dark purple meteor.

The extreme heat on its legs melted the bullet's outer shell into liquid, instantly bringing it close to the Barrett body located in the center of the medium-sized bullet.

"This guy……"

One second the latter was marveling at Zoro's talent, and the next second he saw Sanji melting the bullet shell all the way and crashing into the control room!

Barrett completely lost control of his expression on the spot!
