One Piece: Starting with God Valley, intercepting the Dark-Dark Fruit

Even so, Akainu did not back down in the slightest. He completely disregarded his already battered body and unleashed his magma fists at Rayleigh's face.

Rayleigh wasn't as relaxed as he seemed. The Magma-Magma Fruit's attack power was indeed formidable. Even with Armament Haki protection, being touched by magma would still cause intense burning pain.

Furthermore, most of Akainu's attacks are area-of-effect damage, so the effect of Observation Haki is limited.

Rayleigh blocked Akainu's fist with his sword, red lightning crackling around his body. He roared, wrapping his Conqueror's Haki around his sword, then raised his sword and unleashed a sword aura, sending Akainu flying backward.

Akainu desperately tried to disperse the sword energy, but Rayleigh had already closed in, his blade pointing directly at Akainu's heart.

Just at this critical moment, a golden light flashed, and Akainu couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

Clang!

Rayleigh's sword was blocked by a lightsaber. He frowned as he stared at the suddenly appearing humanoid golden light in front of him.

Akainu opened his eyes, and when he saw the light, a slight smile appeared on his lips. He said...

"Borsalino, you're still as punctual as ever."

As soon as he finished speaking, the light instantly solidified into the shape of Kizaru. However, he was currently wrestling with Rayleigh using his lightsaber, so he couldn't turn around. He simply smiled.

"Sakazuki, you really have to thank me properly this time!"

Rayleigh squinted at Kizaru's chrysanthemum-like face and said,

"Another naturalist?"

Kizaru habitually pouted, and said in a tone that was both effeminate and punctuated,

"Oh~ How scary~ Isn't that Rayleigh, the King of Darkness?!"

As he spoke, Kizaru raised his hand and fired a laser beam. Rayleigh raised an eyebrow, tilted his body to the side to avoid the laser, and kicked Kizaru with his left leg.

Kizaru's foot instantly transformed into photons, and he raised his leg to meet Rayleigh's attack, unleashing a blinding golden light.

However, Kizaru's physical skills were ultimately inferior to Rayleigh's, and the distance of the kick was too short, so he could not make full use of the advantages of the Glint-Glint Fruit. Therefore, he was kicked away by Rayleigh after only a short stalemate.

Kizaru's cool demeanor lasted only three seconds before his body transformed into a golden beam and shot into the forest behind him, causing a violent explosion upon landing.

Upon seeing this, Akainu's face contorted with rage. He turned crimson and threw a punch at Rayleigh in front of him.

"Pluto!!!"

Fueled by rage, Akainu unleashed an extraordinary attack, the Ghost Hound. Rei tried to block it with his sword, but the Ghost Hound deflected the blade and struck him squarely in the chest.

In his haste, Rayleigh hurriedly used Armament Haki to protect his chest. However, since the Demon Dog is Akainu's strongest single-target attack, taking such a solid hit would be devastating, even for Roger, let alone Rayleigh.

The terrifying heat and unparalleled explosive power of the magma caused Rayleigh to groan in pain, and a hissing sound came from his chest as thick black smoke billowed out.

Akainu roared and unleashed another punch, sending Rayleigh flying dozens of meters. When Rayleigh got up again, a charred fist mark could be seen on his chest, emitting a burnt smell.

Rayleigh staggered, clutching his chest with a furrowed brow.

Before he could recover, a golden light shot out from the forest and arrived in front of Rayleigh in the blink of an eye. A long, golden leg kicked Rayleigh in the waist.

boom!

Rayleigh was sent flying backward again, and he finally managed to stop himself by plunging his knife into the ground.

The golden light dissipated where he had just been, revealing Kizaru, his sunglasses half-shattered. He looked at Rayleigh with a forced smile and said...

"Hey! That hurt!"

Chapter 169 The Situation is Urgent

Akainu approached Kizaru and said,

"How did you come?"

Kizaru tilted his head and chuckled.

"It's not just me who came..."

boom!

A massive bear paw-shaped shockwave exploded across the battlefield, causing numerous pirates to bleed from all seven orifices and die instantly.

Bear maintained his pushing posture, his gaze fixed on the flying squirrel and the others who were fighting Barrett.

The situation of the flying squirrel and the others is not optimistic. Fire Mountain and Dalmesio are lying on the ground, and it is unknown whether they are dead or alive.

Barrett is a user of the Fusion Fruit, which allows him to fuse his Armament Haki with Conqueror's Haki to unlock his so-called Devil Form.

In his demon form, he was practically a humanoid Tyrannosaurus Rex. The flying squirrel and the others didn't dare to face his attacks head-on, and the situation was completely one-sided.

Onigumo looked the most disheveled. Barrett had taken seven of his eight knives, leaving him with only one. The blade of that knife had a nick, which he had made when he slashed Barrett's back.

Seeing this, Xiong immediately launched himself forward and appeared directly in front of Barrett.

Barrett was having a blast when a colossal bear suddenly appeared in front of him, leaving him momentarily stunned.

Xiong was not good with words, so he didn't say a word. While Barrett was stunned, he slapped Barrett hard across the face.

【World-weary novel transfer station 99 2 85 9 3 87 】

With the added power of the Domineering aura, Barrett was naturally not sent on a "trip" by Kuma, but the impact of the Paw-Paw Fruit was not easy to bear. A loud "smack" resounded across the battlefield, and Barrett was spun around several times on the spot.

The flying squirrel and the others, who had been chased and beaten for half a day, almost cried with excitement upon seeing this. Their clothes were tattered and their exposed skin was red and swollen, clearly indicating that Barrett had given them a severe beating.

However, Barrett was someone who could go toe-to-toe with Rayleigh as soon as he boarded the ship, and now his strength is no less than Rayleigh's. He was just careless just now.

(Barrett's talent is indeed outrageous, which is also a consequence of the movie version.)

Barrett, after receiving such a resounding slap, was actually pleased rather than angry, and said...

"Not bad, finally someone decent has arrived!"

The bear's expression gradually turned serious. He opened his palms, revealing two rather adorable-looking paw pads. Barrett grinned wickedly.

"Bartholomew Kuma, I know you. Your Devil Fruit ability is very interesting."

The bear didn't respond and raised its hand again to slap Barrett's back. Barrett snorted and seven black knives suddenly appeared on his back, pressing against the bear's paw pads.

These swords were stolen from Onigumo and fused into his body using the Fusion Fruit.

Seeing his attack blocked, Xiong immediately withdrew his hand to prepare for the next wave of attacks, but Barrett put all the black knives back into his body, and a black blade emerged from each of his fists.

He leaped forward, throwing both fists at the bear's chest. The bear immediately tried to block with its paws, but it was no match for Barrett's speed. Barrett's fist struck first, and the blade on his fist pierced the bear's chest.

Fortunately, the bear was large enough that it was not injured in any vital areas.

He slapped Barrett back, then slapped himself, sending a red bubble popping out of his body.

Then, the bear took a deep breath, and with its hands creating afterimages, pushed a large number of bear paw-shaped bubbles toward Barrett.

These bubbles are compressed air. Barrett used his powerful fists to disperse all the incoming bubbles, but there was a red bubble mixed in with them. Barrett thought this bubble was just a little more powerful, so he punched it.

However, when his fist struck the red bubble, he felt nothing; the red bubble simply melted into his fist.

Barrett's expression changed, and then his body trembled violently. He felt an intense pain in his chest. At that moment, the flying squirrel and the others appeared above him, raising their weapons and slashing at him.

But they still underestimated Barrett's endurance. He roared, and his deep purple skin gleamed with a metallic sheen. The attacks from the flying squirrel and the others only left a few light-colored marks on him.

The lead flying squirrel stared wide-eyed and shouted in disbelief.

"impossible!"

The next second, Barrett grabbed his ankle and flung him away. Bear rushed forward and caught the flying squirrel.

The remaining Onigumo and the others were not so lucky. When Barrett got serious, he was unstoppable. He almost pulled Onigumo's hair out, and Domoman, Stokerberry and the others were beaten so badly that their eyes rolled back and they completely lost their ability to fight.

After dealing with the others, Barrett charged at the bear again. The bear released Onigumo and used the paw pads in its hands to block Barrett's barrage of punches.

Even with the powerful physique of the Bakania tribe and the top-tier Paramecia-type Paw-Paw Fruit, Kuma could only passively defend against Barrett's attacks and found it difficult to launch an effective offensive.

Barrett became increasingly excited as he fought, constantly absorbing the weapons of the surrounding naval soldiers, and his size gradually increased until he became a steel giant even taller than a bear.

The flying squirrel lay on the ground, struggling to lift his head for a glance. He wanted to go up and help, but he could barely move, let alone take up his sword and fight.

The main forces of the Navy all have their own adversaries, but the pirates obviously have more main forces. People like Jabba simply don't have any opponents who can match them.

Ordinary naval officers and soldiers are mostly no match for them. Once they are free to deal with the situation, the other main naval forces will face an even more dangerous situation.

Kaji was beaten black and blue by Jozu and Thatch's combined attack. A little distance away, Ginny and Gion were back to back, surrounded by members of the Whitebeard Pirates led by Vista.

Both women were slightly out of breath, and Gion had a deep, bone-revealing knife wound on her right arm, which was now stained red with blood.

Ginny looked at the knife wound on Gion's arm and felt extremely guilty.

Just now, when she was exchanging gunfire with Izo, Vista suddenly rushed over. If Gion hadn't grabbed her and dodged, she would probably be in grave danger.

The knife wound on Gion's arm was left from this.

Gion noticed Ginny's gaze, forced a smile, and said,

"Ginny, why are you staring at my arm? This little injury is nothing."

Gion spoke lightly, but her trembling arm couldn't lie; she was badly injured.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the pirates charged forward again.

Giger had been keeping an eye on Ginny, and when he saw the two women in danger, he wanted to go and help them, but Whitebeard had gone completely mad. If he went, Whitebeard would soon follow, so he needed someone else to hold Whitebeard off temporarily.
