The Journey of Freedom After the Awakening of the Shadow-Shadow Fruit

A moment later, a giant robot, about twenty meters tall and resembling a Gundam, appeared in front of Kizaru and his two companions who had arrived.

This is a steel robot created by Barrett using his Fusion-Fusion Fruit power to combine himself with the steel warship.

"I'll take care of you all in an instant!"

The robot emitted a mechanical voice, like Barrett's, and swung its massive mechanical fist, slamming it towards the location of Kizaru and his two companions.

A fierce gust of wind swept in, and its speed was surprisingly fast. Kizaru and his two companions quickly jumped away to dodge, avoiding a direct confrontation with the attack.

boom!

Click click!

The ground shook violently, and then a crater a hundred meters deep appeared. At the same time, the surrounding ground cracked with spiderweb-like fissures, as if an earthquake had occurred.

Bang! Boom!

In the ensuing battle, Barrett appeared invincible, and Kizaru and his two companions could only dodging his punches while managing to launch harmless attacks on him.

The entire island trembled instantly!

Barrett's attack power has increased, his speed hasn't decreased, and his Observation Haki has also become very strong.

quickly!

Akainu and Aokiji were bruised and battered, with not a single part of their bodies unscathed.

Only Kizaru, though panting heavily, was completely spotless.

As expected of a user of the Glint-Glint Fruit, his dodging ability is truly impressive; he wasn't attacked by Barrett even once throughout the entire encounter.

Good thing!

Kizaru and his two companions, who were originally on the verge of defeat, were able to hold out against Barrett again after three Marine Headquarters Vice Admirals arrived to provide support.

night!

There was no moon; only countless stars dotted the dark sky.

On Vico Island, the battle has reached a fever pitch.

After suppressing the pirates during the day, all the powerful marines of the rank of admiral and above ganged up on Barrett, trapping him in a sea of ​​people.

At this time, the battlefield had gradually advanced from the high ground towards the port on the south bank.

The massive Gundam Mecha Barrett remained the most dazzling figure in the night, enduring the siege of Akainu and his companions.

At this moment, it's hard to say whether Barrett is strong or weak.

In terms of strength, before top-tier combatants like Garp and Sengoku could even make a move, Barrett was already being held back by more than a dozen naval commanders, led by the future three admirals.

If you say they're weak, well, they are the future three admirals of the Navy, and they are also Logia-type Devil Fruit users. Moreover, the Navy admirals in this special period are all quite strong.

Even so, Barrett actually had the upper hand in the battle. Even if Garp and the others hadn't joined in, given Barrett's terrifying physique, Kizaru and the others would still have been defeated in the end.

It's just a matter of time!

Therefore, Moria didn't know whether to say Barrett was strong or weak.

"but"

"Putting aside their combat strength, their stamina is absolutely terrifying."

Five thousand meters in the air, Moria stood on the back of the Shadow Servant Giant Eagle, looking down at the island below, his eyes gleaming.

It was around 8 p.m. at this time; Moria had arrived here around 2 p.m. during the day.

At that time, Barrett was already using the Fusion-Fusion Fruit ability to transform into a fusion robot and fight.

By now, it's been at least six or seven hours. Fighting for such a long time using the fusion ability continuously, plus constantly using Armament Haki, the stamina consumed must be terrifying.

But I listened for a long time.

"Indeed, just for that terrifying stamina, it's worth the trip."

Moria smiled, quite satisfied with Barrett's physical strength.

boom!

bump!

!

The roar of battle continued unabated, and time slowly passed.

quickly!

It was one o'clock in the morning, the darkest hour of the night.

On the back of the giant eagle, Moria summoned a regular shadow servant to swap places with him.

Viktor was still holding Perona, so they couldn't switch places; otherwise, Perona might accidentally experience the feeling of freefalling from a great height.

Looking at Perona, who was already asleep in Viktor's arms, Moria smiled. He found it somewhat unbelievable that someone as ruthless as him would have Perona as a burden.

"I'm still a good person after all!"

After giving himself a "good guy" card, Moria sent his shadow to the high ground of Vico Island below.

There's no one there now; Barrett and his team have moved their battleground to the plains town between the highlands and the southern port.

Now, under the cover of darkness, is the perfect opportunity for him to infiltrate Vico Island.

After all, it's too conspicuous during the day and easily seen by others, so now is the most suitable time.

"Wait here for me!"

After giving instructions to Victor, who was holding Perona, Moria had a sudden thought and switched places with his shadow on the high ground of Vico Island before leaving.

In the ruins of the Highland Palace, Moria stood beside the broken walls, his shadow returning to him.

Looking down through the broken windows at the plains town below.

Yellow light waves!

Red lava!

bluish-white ice!

The attacks from Kizaru and his two companions illuminated the battlefield like lights in the darkness. Moria could see that Barrett's 20-meter-tall body was covered by various attacks.

"The fighting is still intense, and we don't know when it will end."

Moria was very patient, hiding in the darkness, waiting quietly like a person, waiting for Barrett to fall, waiting for the opportunity to seize Barrett.

quickly!

One night passed.

The sun had barely risen when an unexpected event occurred on the battlefield.

Sengoku did not underestimate the strength of Kizaru and others, but he overestimated the strength of the other Marines.

Not everyone is as resilient as Akainu. Just as the sun was rising in the morning, a Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral, unable to withstand the strain, was seized by Barrett and smashed into a pulp with a single punch.

This immediately triggered a chain reaction and became the beginning of the defeat.

Even though Akainu and his two companions tried their best to stop him, Barrett still managed to kill a vice admiral and three rear admirals in the next ten seconds.

"Warring States Period, here I come!"

At this moment, Garp couldn't sit still any longer. He couldn't bear to see the Marines die while training, so he quickly joined the battle.

Although he is far away, this is the peak of his life.

For over a dozen months, Garp pierced the air like a bullet, heading straight for Barrett.

"Garp, you bastard!!"

Watching Garp's departing figure, Sengoku cursed inwardly, "Isn't it normal for people to die in battle?"

Without experiencing brutal battles, how could the three he favored, Kizaru, grow quickly? And if they didn't grow up fast, how could this explosive pirate era be suppressed?

At this point, having one more admiral-level combatant is far more useful than having seven or eight more vice admirals from the Navy Headquarters.

With one more admiral, at least one entity like the John Pirates can be suppressed.

As for the Vice Admirals of the Navy Headquarters, they could be seriously injured or even killed by top-tier powerhouses like Whitebeard in just a few moves. Only the Admirals could stand up to such terrifying powerhouses.

Therefore, given the choice between having one more admiral and losing several vice admirals, Sengoku would undoubtedly choose the former.

However, there's no use thinking about it now. If Garp takes action, it won't serve its purpose of honing skills.

So Sengoku ordered Akainu and the others to withdraw from the battlefield to recuperate, leaving only Garp and Barrett to fight, as a sign of respect for the strong.

"They're finally here, Garp!!!"

Excited by Garp's arrival, Barrett instantly abandoned the chance to kill the other Marines, leaped up and charged toward Garp, raising his massive mechanical fist and unleashing a powerful punch imbued with Armament Haki.

"Barrett, this isn't how you surpass Roger."

Garp's expression was somewhat complicated. He also unleashed a punch imbued with Armament Haki, clashing with Barrett's fist, which was the size of a small car.

Clang!

After a metallic cracking sound, came the crackling of lightning from the clash of their Armament Haki.

Subsequently

Click! Click!

Barrett's massive mechanical fist cracked open like spiderwebs, and then the cracks spread all over his body.

Clang!

Clang!

Garp lived up to his reputation. The combined Gundam robot that Kizaru and the others couldn't harm in the slightest no matter how they attacked was shattered by him with a single punch.

bump!

Amidst the flying fragments of shattered metal, Barrett fell from the sky.

call out!

The moment he landed, Barrett charged toward Garp.
