The Great Voyage Begins with the Celestial Dragons

"It's a very crude technique."

Faced with the overwhelming Conqueror's Haki, Luther simply chuckled and extended his right index finger.

hum! ! !

He didn't release a particularly strong Conqueror's Haki; the amount was probably only one-tenth of Barrett's, but even this small wisp easily blocked Barrett's aura.

The two are in a situation very similar to Luther's encounter with the Red Earl back then.

Luther at that time was like Barrett today, possessing a powerful aura but not knowing how to use it, and could only barely manage a draw with the Red Earl.

He can now confidently say that he is second to none in his mastery of Conqueror's Haki.

And that's not all; his overwhelming power also surpasses everyone else's.

However, he has passed the point of using Conqueror's Haki to intimidate others.

If it's just about Conqueror's Haki, someone like Barrett wouldn't submit.

"Hahahaha, very good! Very good! This is the feeling! Give me the same sense of pressure as Roger!"

Barrett laughed wildly for a while, then suddenly stomped his foot on the ground and lunged at Luther.

He was incredibly fast, reaching Luther's side almost in the blink of an eye.

His fist, as big as a sandbag, instantly coated with Armament Haki and swung towards Luther.

Despite the fierce attack, Luther remained unfazed, simply drawing his black knife slowly and holding it with one hand to block Barrett's fist.

Boom! ! !

The two collided with each other, producing a muffled thud.

The towering waves swept outwards, stirring up a large expanse of sharp earth, before crashing back down with a deafening roar.

Barrett's fierce attack was easily blocked by Luther.

Luther chuckled as he looked at Barrett, still with an indifferent expression.

If his weakness three years ago was his physique, he didn't have those monstrous physical attributes.

After three years of growth, this is no longer his weakness.

The Celestial Dragons' talent is not weak, it can even be said to be extremely strong. With the addition of Luther's own strength and the Devil Fruit's enhancement, the growth of his physique became a natural thing.

Now, apart from being slightly inferior in Armament Haki, he has almost no weaknesses.

"very good!"

Barrett, instead of being surprised by the formidable Luther, was delighted.

Throughout his life, he has been challenging and surpassing the strong, with his goal of becoming number one in the world.

He submitted to Roger, initially only because he couldn't defeat him.

Later, when Roger was diagnosed with a terminal illness, he showed Roger an even more disdainful attitude.

In his view, whether it was Roger, Shiki, or Whitebeard, they were all strong, but none of them had the attitude of a strong person.

The strong are solitary!

The strong are absolute!

Leading a large group of people to play house, what kind of strongman are you!

"drink!!!"

Barrett's face was filled with excitement as he simultaneously coated both fists with Armament Haki and rained down on Luther like a storm.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

A dull thud was heard.

Barrett's powerful punches were easily neutralized by Luther.

Even so, Luther's left hand was still in his pocket, and he didn't move an inch.

He blocked all of his attacks by holding the knife with only one hand.

"Excellent! Superb! This is exactly the feeling I've been waiting for!"

Completely unable to break through Luther's defenses, Barrett laughed maniacally, his fists never ceasing.

This kind of battle, devoid of any motivational quotes and filled with pure, unadulterated combat, is exactly the kind of fight he's always dreamed of!

Roger, that good-for-nothing, kept shouting about dreams and comrades during battle, and in the end, he was plagued by illness and died a miserable death by surrendering himself. He was just a complete weakling!

Barrett kept shouting in his mind, and his punches became faster and faster.

He seemed to want to vent all the resentment he had felt from being imprisoned in the city for so many years.

Do you know?

Luther's sudden words caused Barrett to slow down slightly.

Just when he thought Luther was going to give some grand speech and was somewhat disappointed, he heard a sentence that made him extremely stiff.

"Your fists are too soft; your strength is so weak that it bores me."

Hearing this condescending tone, Barrett immediately became furious.

"asshole!!!"

He admitted that Luther's current demeanor was exactly what he envisioned a strong person to be like.

Even the things the other person said were consistent with his own personality.

He would say something similar if he were facing a weaker person.

In his view, playing against the weak is an extremely boring thing.

but...

If that weak person became him, it would be something he absolutely could not accept!

Chapter 223 The End of the Fruit

boom!!!

Barrett slammed his palm into the ground, activating his Fusion Fruit ability. He absorbed the sharp earth within a radius of tens of meters and integrated it into his body.

In an instant, his size increased several times over, transforming him into a sand giant resembling a colossal fortress.

"It's actually somewhat interesting."

Luther's gaze drifted to Barrett's current figure, and a slight smile of satisfaction appeared on his lips.

To be honest, based on the strength that Barrett just displayed, without Conqueror's Haki or Devil Fruit abilities, he was even less powerful than Crocodile.

Of course, Barrett's attack power is indeed average, and his Devil Fruit ability is too dependent on the terrain.

If Luther remembers correctly, the battle between Barrett and Crocodile seemed to have ended in a draw.

Thinking of this, Luther sighed softly.

Based on his personal experience, Barrett's current strength is about the same as Gion's three years ago.

Such strength, in his eyes now, is merely not bad.

"die!"

Barrett naturally noticed Luther's expression, which was filled with anger. He roared fiercely and approached Luther step by step.

He vowed to become the strongest, and he could not accept such contemptuous looks and attitudes.

He can accept failure, but he cannot tolerate being looked down upon.

He is the true strongman, and only he has the right to treat others in this way!

Boom!Boom!Boom!

The heavy footsteps echoed on the ground, like a giant beast running.

The massive weight of the Earth Giant caused the island to tremble violently.

As Luther approached, the Earth Giant swung its fist, which was larger than a building, and slammed it down hard towards Luther.

Facing this iron fist capable of shattering mountains, Luther stared indifferently, still holding his knife in one hand.

However, compared to before, the blade now gleamed with a faint golden light, with shimmering light flickering within it, as if it had gathered some kind of irresistible power.

As the Iron Fist of the Earth drew near, Luther lightly swung the black knife in his hand.

laugh! ! !

A crisp sound was heard, as if some kind of force had shattered.

Barrett's Earth Giant, like a straw in the wind, suddenly lost its balance and fell forward as if its momentum had not yet subsided.

At this moment, his face was ashen, and his eyes were filled with horror.

At this point, a huge gap had appeared on the right arm of the Earth Giant.

The iron fist that had once been swung vanished into thin air like smoke under Luther's blade, along with the incredibly thick, sharp earthen arm.

By combining with Rui Tu, he could roughly feel the sensation of the black blade colliding with Rui Tu.

It was a kind of burning heat he had never experienced before.

In just a moment, Rui Tu's body seemed to have been burned to ashes.

"Did you know that the typical vaporization temperature of iron is around 2700 degrees Celsius, but for instantaneous vaporization, the temperature needs to be above 3500 degrees Celsius? So..."

Luther chuckled softly, glancing with amusement at Barrett, who had lost an arm of the Sharp Earth.

"Barrett, guess what temperature is needed to melt sharp earth in an instant?"

Upon hearing this seemingly sarcastic question, Barrett's expression turned ugly.

It goes without saying that the temperature that can melt sharp earth in an instant could also evaporate him in a split second.

But he didn't understand what Luther's fruit was that could release such a high temperature.

"Are you curious? Curious about the material of my knife, curious about my fruit."

Luther's smile deepened as he looked at Barrett, who hadn't moved for a long time.
