Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

A pirate with 5 million Berries was easily led over with just a rope?

How could he possibly believe it.

"Hmph, trying to fool me? Not so easy!"

Bilu sneered and immediately activated his ability. A stream of silver liquid instantly enveloped Luffy, sealing him inside a giant silver sphere in the blink of an eye.

At Tanaka's prompting, Biru used the same trick again, binding Bartolomeo's hands to a pickaxe head with a silver ball.

They even hypocritically said, "Better safe than sorry; it's always good to be cautious."

Zaya's heart sank. She finally realized that Bilu was not a good person at all.

But it was too late for regrets. Suddenly, the three of them lost their footing and fell straight into the depths of the mine with a cry of "Ah!"

At this critical moment, Bartolomeo suddenly shouted, "Watch me!"

"Rubber Barrier!"

It turned out that he had been careful all along, and when Bilu wrapped his hands in silver water, he secretly applied a barrier to his hands.

The barrier acted like a resilient shield, steadily withstanding the impact of the fall.

"Haha, you didn't expect that, did you!" Bartolomeo laughed triumphantly.

At the bottom of the mine, the three of them saw the long-lost members of the Silver Pirate Alliance.

They were all emaciated, their eyes filled with fear and despair.

According to their account, everything was just as Usopp had predicted. The so-called dream that Bill claimed to have was all a lie, just a way to trick more pirates into working for him.

Those who disobeyed were turned into statues.

As for those with low abilities, they were thrown into the bottom layer to mine.

Just then, Abelon, who was in charge of the bottom layer and was in his cart-pushing form due to the Rolling Fruit, heard the commotion and rushed over.

Abelon looks intimidating and has unique abilities, but his strength is not that great, and his Devil Fruit development is even worse.

Upon seeing Bartolomeo and his companions, they pounced on them with bared teeth and claws.

"You think you can stop me?"

Bartolomeo sneered, quickly forming hand seals and shouting, "Break through the barrier!"

A powerful impact instantly slammed Abelon into the wall.

Upon seeing this, the long-oppressed miners were immediately enraged and rushed forward, beating Abelon to death.

The group carried Luffy, who was wrapped in a silver ball, and ran desperately outside.

As soon as I emerged from the mine, I saw Peseta blocking the entrance like a gatekeeper.

This guy is carrying two huge cannons on his back, and he looks very imposing.

As soon as he saw the crowd, he immediately launched a bomb with a special adhesive that could not be shaken off once it touched something.

At this critical moment, Gambia, clad in the Iron Cloth of the Southern Cross, makes a dazzling appearance.

He stood firmly before Peseta like a war god descending from the heavens.

Seeing this, Peseta's men tried to rush forward and take down Gambia, but Zoro casually chopped them all down like wheat with a single stroke of his sword.

Facing a player like Peseta who lacks even the most imposing presence, Gambia, who had been trained by Van Nistelrooy for three months, had it incredibly easy.

He took a moon step and came up behind Peseta, shouting, "Southern Cross Fist!"

They smashed Peseta's cannon and threw him into the sea as well.

……

Chapter 158 Biru exposes his true nature, Barto's inner universe explodes.

Bilu finally showed up, sitting casually to the side, chewing on a piece of ore with great relish.

But his eyes were fixed intently on the fight between the group.

They looked as if they were watching a spectacular circus performance, showing no intention of intervening or helping.

Peseta's defeat was like the end of a farce; he was like a puppet with its strings cut, beaten without any chance to fight back.

Upon seeing this, Bilu simply waved his hand casually, as if shooing away an annoying fly.

The next second, a large pool of scalding lava fell from the sky, instantly engulfing Peseta.

Poor loyal dog Peseta turned to ashes without even leaving a last word.

"You bastard!"

Upon seeing this, Dezaa's eyes widened instantly, as if they were about to spit fire, and he roared angrily.

Her body trembled violently with rage, ready to charge at Biru and fight him to the death at any moment.

Bartolomeo, however, concealed his anger, appearing remarkably calm on the surface, while his heart was in turmoil.

He recalled what Instructor Fanny had said: "A true strong person is one who can control their emotions."

At this moment, Luffy is still tightly bound by the silver ball, so the heavy responsibility of defeating Bill falls on his shoulders.

"Echo, my universe!"

Bartolomeo took a deep breath and said calmly.

With a strong energy fluctuation, his Scutum Iron Cloth instantly lit up, as if it were covered with a layer of dazzling starlight.

He walked confidently towards Bilu, each step seemingly on the beat of a drum.

Bilu looked at the short-haired, green-haired man, a disdainful sneer appearing on his lips, his eyes seeming to say, "You think you can challenge me?"

In his eyes, if it weren't for Bartolomeo, his childhood sweetheart, Dezaia would have long been part of his harem.

As a user of the Melt-Melt Fruit, Biru instantly activated his Lava Mode.

He quickly rummaged through his body with both hands, as if performing magic, pulling out pools of scalding lava and throwing them at Bartolomeo.

The lava, like burning meteors, roared in with rolling heat waves.

"Is that all you have?"

Bartolomeo's lips curled up slightly, revealing a contemptuous smile, as he calmly created barriers one by one.

These barriers act like loyal guardians, precisely deflecting the lava.

The lava crashed against the barrier, making a hissing sound and scattering sparks, as if a fierce fireworks display was taking place.

As Bartolomeo drew ever closer, Biru could no longer sit still.

He suddenly raised his hands and lunged viciously at Bartolomeo, attempting to melt Bartolomeo's barrier with his melting ability.

"Haha, you think my barrier is so easy to break through?"

Bartolomeo was secretly pleased with himself. His barrier was a product of the rules, a pure energy entity, and Bilu's Melt-Melt Fruit was completely ineffective against it.

"A tribute to the divine fist? Barrier barrier? Meteor Fist!"

Bartolomeo shouted, enveloping his hands in the power of the barrier, which instantly transformed into countless fist shadows.

These fist shadows, carrying specks of starlight, swarmed towards Bilu.

Bilu couldn't even handle an iron block, so he could only frantically try to block with his arms, teetering on the verge of collapse.

With a loud "bang," one of the punches landed heavily on Biru's face.

Bilu flew backwards like a punching bag, tracing a comical arc in the air.

Finally, it fell to the ground with a "thud," raising a cloud of dust.

Just when Bartolomeo thought victory was in sight, the ground suddenly cracked open, and a big-headed doll emerged from it.

It was Tanaka.

Like a nimble groundhog, he grabbed Bartolomeo's feet and yanked him into the ground.

"Trying to ambush me? Not so easy!"

Bartolomeo thought to himself that he had already devised a countermeasure the moment Tanaka made his move.

Instructor Fanny once told him during training that the Barrier-Barrier Fruit, a rule-based ability, is invincible under certain conditions.

Using his fingers to unleash the Barrier-Barrier Fruit's power is a habit of his, not the only way he can unleash the power.

When everyone thinks he's using his abilities with his hands, he's already halfway to victory.

Bartolomeo, having received special training from Van Nistelrooy, had already mastered the technique of using various parts of his body to create a barrier.

Even his hair can become a medium for exerting his abilities.

Sure enough, the instant Tanaka pulled him to the ground, his leg hairs stood on end, forming an invisible barrier that bounced Tanaka back.

Tanaka was like a bounced ball, tumbling through the air a few times before finally crashing to the ground in a sorry state.

Upon seeing this, Tanaka turned pale with fright and scrambled to Bilu's side.

He frantically pulled out a bottle of golden liquid and poured it directly into Biru's mouth.

Bartolomeo watched this scene unfold without intervening.

He thought to himself: If it were Luffy, he would do the same thing, to defeat his opponent fairly and squarely.

At this moment, a surprising scene happened.

Luffy had somehow freed himself from his restraints and instantly appeared in front of Tanaka using Moonwalk.

Before Tanaka could react, a punch imbued with Armament Haki slammed heavily into him.

Tanaka was shoved directly into the wall, leaving only a human-shaped hole.

"Wow, Luffy-senpai is amazing!"

Bartolomeo stared in disbelief, his eyes wide open.

He never expected that Luffy would be able to break free of his restraints in such a short time and launch a brilliant counterattack.

As the mine collapsed, the group began to move towards an open area.

Bartolomeo quickly set up a barrier to protect everyone.

Just then, something even more astonishing happened: the mountain began to melt, and scalding lava splashed everywhere.
