I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

On the other side of the battlefield, Akainu clenched his fists, which once again became hot and red, and a strong smell of sulfur wafted out.

"Big spray------"

"100x damage!"

Just as Akainu was about to make a move, the long sword in Wald's hand suddenly enlarged a hundredfold, transforming into a giant sword the size of a warship. He swung it down with a mighty slash, and the massive sword energy tore a wide crack in the glacier beneath his feet.

"This knife isn't as big as Barrett's... Let me see just how much destructive power Barrett's punch has," Wald chuckled coldly.

"It's in the way..."

Akainu's face darkened, but faced with this attack, he could only change his move on the spot. His fist suddenly swelled up and he punched Wald.

With Barrett's punch, shadows covered a large portion of the battlefield, and the course of the war had quietly shifted.

Not only Whitebeard, but also the Flying Pirates and even the prisoners of Impel Down were using their own methods to try their best to hold off the powerful Marines.

And at the edge of the battlefield area covered by the shadow of the giant fist of the tower.

Teach, who had barely escaped from Akainu's clutches, was now looking up at the tower's giant fist, which was about to fall like a meteorite, his face ashen.

Chapter 549 This sea is a battlefield

Teach had been running frantically to escape Akainu's pursuit, but now he just happened to see the giant fist of the Impel Down Titan's tower coming down from the sky.

Meanwhile, most of the powerful figures in the Navy were temporarily held back by the pirates and were powerless to stop them.

Teach's face turned pale instantly, and he immediately sprinted away, his bulky body bursting with astonishing speed.

However, the giant fist from the tower that fell from the sky was not slow at all. Just after Teach escaped the shadow area, the giant fist fell to the ground like a meteor.

boom!

Amidst the deafening roar, Teach was struck in the back by the shockwave of the giant fist landing. His vision went black, and he was sent flying forward, coughing up blood.

To the astonishment of countless people, the glacier collapsed and shattered into a huge hole at the point where the giant fist landed, and then thick cracks spread rapidly at an alarming speed.

In an instant, the entire glacial battlefield was covered with deep ravines and cracks, and the glacier formed by the pheasant was on the verge of collapse.

But that wasn't all. The giant fist shattered the glacier completely with overwhelming force, and the waves beneath the ice field surged skyward under its immense power.

Amidst the earthquake-like shaking, the cracks in the entire glacial battlefield continued to spread rapidly!

This punch shattered the entire glacier beneath the feet of the navy and pirates, tearing it apart into icebergs and sending towering waves crashing into the sea!

This punch shattered the entire battlefield. The pirates and marines who were fighting fiercely just moments before all changed their expressions drastically and had to temporarily stop fighting to resist or avoid the oncoming waves.

It's important to understand that there are many Devil Fruit users among both the Navy and the pirates. Once the glacier completely shatters and Impel Down becomes Barrett's body, they will have nowhere to stand.

The battle, which had been heating up, was temporarily halted by this punch.

"What terrifying power... Even though it's not the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, I feel like I'm seeing Whitebeard's sea tremors."

Even the golden lion couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Sea of ​​clouds!"

With a wave of his hand, large swaths of clouds surged forth from his hand, eventually floating to the feet of the pirates below, lifting them atop the white clouds and shielding them from the impact of a wave.

Meanwhile, on Sig's side, the bandits had already returned to the armored pirate ship.

"What terrifying power! Of course, even more terrifying is the range of Armament Haki that Barrett possesses..."

Stussy stood beside Sieg and said in a low voice.

Before Sieg could respond, Crocus shook his head.

"Barrett's Armament Haki is indeed extremely powerful, but no matter how much she trains, she probably can't reach that exaggerated level. This is related to her Fusion Fruit ability."

Crocus explained:

“Sigu, as you know, covering the body with Armament Haki and covering other objects with it are two completely different levels of difficulty.”

"After Barrett merged with the Titan, the Impel Down Titan is now essentially Barrett's new body."

"Therefore, Barrett's Armament Haki actually covers her own body, rather than using Haki to wrap around and cover an area as large as Impel Down."

As he spoke, Crocus pointed to the massive warship San Juan Wolf, which had already sunk into the sea in the distance:

"Take that big guy over there for example. Barrett's Armament Haki is the same concept as the San Juan Wolf using Armament Haki to cover its entire body, except that Barrett is much bigger."

“I see, I understand completely now…” Sig nodded.

At that moment, a cold voice came from the side.

"That fused bastard's Armament Haki is indeed very strong, but it's not like there's no way to deal with it."

Crocodile, cigar in mouth, gazed at the Impel Down giants from afar and said coldly:

"My Sand-Sand Fruit ability allows me to absorb moisture from the surrounding environment, thereby destroying buildings... If I could enter Impel Down and use [Erosion Reincarnation] on Barrett's body, that part of her body would break free from Barrett's control, disrupting the flow of Haki within her."

After speaking, Crocdale glanced at Sieg:

"Sigurd, don't you have an ability similar to the Door-Door Fruit? If you want to deal with that fused bastard, I can lend you a hand."

Sieg felt a slight tremor in his heart, but then chuckled softly:

“Crocodile, you’re using Barrett as our hypothetical enemy? That guy may be reckless and arrogant, but he’s now one of our allies.”

Upon hearing this, Crocdale snorted coldly.

"It seems you don't know that guy well enough."

She raised the golden hook in her hand and pointed it. As the waves roared in, a fat figure flew towards Whitebeard like a cannonball, only to be caught steadily in his hand.

"Teach?"

Whitebeard glanced at Teach's injuries, and finally, anger appeared on his usually expressionless face.

"Barrett, you hurt my son."

Whitebeard spoke in a low voice, but there was a hint of anger in it.

The moment the sound was uttered, the seven- or eight-meter-high waves that were rushing towards them seemed to have crashed into some invisible, solid wall, instantly shattering and then crashing onto the glacier.

"Whitebeard is angry..."

Golden Lion glanced at the commotion on Whitebeard's side and quickly tried to mediate:

"Whitebeard, Barrett's attack had such a wide range that even he couldn't control it. Your son Teach was just accidentally injured..."

Before he could finish speaking, a cold snort came from the direction of Impel Down:

"Whitebeard, when did you start to have the illusion that I am one of your comrades?"

"You are allied with the Golden Lion and Siegfried, not me."

At this, not only Whitebeard, but also Shiki's eyes twitched. He looked up at the Impel Down giants, his gaze gradually turning cold.

Barrett has become far too arrogant.

"Barrett, you've got too big for your britches. Do you mean you're going to take on our pirate alliance and the Navy all by yourself?"

The golden lion roared in a deep voice.

Meanwhile, Barrett, inside Impel Down, looked down at the shattered glacial battlefield below, a wild smile spreading across her face once more.

Is there anything wrong with this?

These words left even the proud Golden Lion speechless.

Golden Lion was extremely arrogant, having once single-handedly stormed the Marine Headquarters. But Barrett's arrogant words at this moment left Golden Lion momentarily stunned.

"This sea is the battlefield!" Barrett's deep voice came from within the Impel Down giants:

"Only by believing in yourself and having the unwavering resolve to survive alone can you become the strongest and possess invincible power!"

Chapter 550 Mocking the Entire Audience

After Barrett's punch landed, the entire glacial battlefield shattered into pieces, waves surged, and icebergs broke into massive chunks that scattered in all directions.

Meanwhile, in one corner of the battlefield, pitch-black flames raged, forming a wall of fire that stood in front of Marine Captain Higuma and his men, burning away the massive chunks of ice that were hurtling through the air.

"Higuma... as expected of the Jinchūriki of the Black Flame Dragon."

"Colonel Xiong saved us that day..."

The sailors around him expressed their gratitude.

With a flash of golden light, the Warring States, transformed into a giant Buddha, struck out with a palm, shattering the seven- or eight-meter-high wave into dust.

But then, he glanced at the sun bear who had just unleashed the jet-black flames, without saying a word.

Higuma, however, felt extremely uncomfortable.

On the battlefield in the present, Higuma has no desire to stand out.

It wasn't just because there were too many strong pirates, but also because Shiki the Golden Lion was present.

It's worth noting that Sig had already been exposed on the Golden Lion's Sky Island, revealing that he and Navy's Higuma were the same person.

If the presence of Sun Bear were to be noticed by Golden Lion on this battlefield, the consequences would be unpredictable.

Fortunately... Shiki had no time to pay attention to Sun Bear at the moment; he was currently engaged in a heated argument with Barrett, the giant from Impel Down.

Marshal Sengoku also witnessed this scene.

"These pirates are truly a rabble. They can even fight amongst themselves on a battlefield like this... They might just start fighting right away... This could be a good opportunity."

After ordering the navy to rest and regroup the surviving navy, he listened attentively.

"Only by believing in yourself and having the unwavering resolve to survive alone can you become the strongest and possess invincible power!"

Barrett's resounding statement made even the Golden Lion laugh in exasperation.

To boast about being invincible in front of these Four Emperors and Admirals... that's just plain idiotic!

The golden lion's face darkened:

"Countless great pirates once roamed this sea. Back when I, Whitebeard, Roger, and the others were conquering the oceans, you were just a nobody on Roger's ship..."

"Hehe...that's because I debuted late." Barrett grinned, retorting sharply:

"Otherwise, Roger wouldn't have been needed; I could have defeated you back then."
