One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

Whoosh! ! !

The pitch-black shell, like a beam of light, suddenly shot out from Wald's hand, leaving a straight flash in the air, and landed precisely where Barto was.

Under Wald's watchful gaze, the shell swiftly pierced through the leaky barrier.

At such speeds, even a powerful figure like Barto would be unable to withstand the impact of the shells.

Speed ​​is power!

Wald may not understand this statement, nor does he have a similar verbal tic, but he has to admit that it is an extremely true statement.

However, just as the shell was about to hit Barto, the evolved Barto suddenly looked up, revealing a pair of eyes that seemed to be completely swallowed by darkness.

The next moment, the barrier that had been holding together suddenly contracted and then rose rapidly under Barto’s feet, forming a small, new barrier.

Peng! ! !

The rapidly approaching cannonball suddenly struck the new barrier, and the terrifying impact was instantly neutralized by the power of the Barrier Fruit.

In order to catch Barto off guard, Wald deliberately did not use the size-increasing buff, but unexpectedly, even at such a speed, the opponent still managed to withstand it.

"Is...that all there is to it!?"

Just then, Barto's figure suddenly appeared beyond the flames of the explosion, looking at Wald, who was still in mid-air, with a hint of disappointment.

Barto grinned, revealing a creepy smile.

"If this is all you've got, I'll be very disappointed!"

"If I take a weakling like you back, I won't be able to hold my head up in front of others!"

"Aren't you the great pirate who almost rivaled Roger decades ago?! Can't you show me something original?!"

Wald's overall strength is indeed among the top in the world.

However, compared to his powerful Devil Fruit ability, the effect he demonstrated was somewhat disappointing.

It can increase the volume, gravity, and speed of any object by a hundredfold.

If Garp were to eat the Momo-Momo Fruit, the projectiles he throws would destroy an island in no time.

Oh no!

Even without the Momo Fruit, he could destroy an island in no time.

Regardless of how clownish Garp's performance on Beehive Island may have been, the fact that he possessed such immense power without using any Devil Fruits or scientific abilities is enough to prove his extraordinary nature.

If Garp had eaten the Momo-Momo Fruit, the One Piece world would probably have ended long ago.

No matter how strong the walls of the Red Line are, they can't withstand 100 times the power of Garp's Iron Fist.

Therefore, Wald did indeed waste the power of this fruit.

"You...you bastard!!!"

Hearing Barto's undisguised sarcasm, Wald's eyes suddenly turned blood red, and his anger erupted from his body like a tangible flame.

He had never been insulted to this extent in all these years.

Peng.

Wald landed on the ground after leaping up, his gaze immediately falling on Barto.

"Hmph! You ignorant brat! Since you're so impatient, I'll show you... the power that the World Government fears!!!"

Enraged, Wald suddenly addressed his men behind him:

"Go! Bring up my heavy artillery!!!"

In reality, how could Wald not be aware of his own shortcomings?

But he didn't care!

Through years of unremitting efforts, he has reached the edge of the awakening of the Momo Fruit.

Nowadays, he no longer needs to touch objects to affect them using his Devil Fruit powers.

This also led Wald to develop another way to use the Momo Fruit.

That is to combine the power of technology and machinery to make up for the weakness of its own lack of ability.

So in the two years since his release from prison, he has been busy collecting various firearms and weapons around the world to bolster their forces.

In fact, Wald didn't want it to be like this at first.

Thirty years ago, he was arrested by the World Government because of the betrayal of his subordinates.

When he was released from prison, he was filled with anger and just wanted to vent it all out.

Having been frozen for thirty years, time has left no trace on his body or mind.

At this moment, even though he was 78 years old, Wald was still young and vigorous, determined to make a name for himself, overthrow the World Government, and become the true king of the world.

But reality slapped him hard across the face.

He never expected that when he woke up again and learned from his escape from Impel Down that the world's格局 (situation/pattern) was not much different from what it was thirty years ago.

Just as he was preparing to make his mark and use the Devil Fruit power that even the World Government feared to create a new world for himself...

The appearance of a group of pirates has stirred up the world into chaos, forcing many ambitious individuals like him who were preparing to take action to halt their plans and adapt to the new world.

However, this adaptation completely disconnected them from the world.

In just two short years, look at what these pirates have done!

He single-handedly stormed into Mary Geoise and, despite being a pirate, spearheaded a movement to liberate slaves.

Easily defeat the Four Emperors Charlotte Linlin, occupy the World of Warcraft, subdue the king of the underworld, and build an astonishing force;

They joined forces with the Beast Pirates and Whitebeard Pirates, two of the Four Emperors' pirate crews, to fight against the World Government's highest fighting force. The third-ranking member of the pirate crew killed Marine Admiral Akainu, the fourth-ranking member fought against Marine Admiral Aokiji, and the first and second-ranking members even faced the Five Elders, the most powerful beings in the world.

Defeat Kaido, recruit legendary pirates, and become the Lord of the Sea;

They broke into Mary Geoise again, killed a large number of Celestial Dragons, and completely destroyed Mary Geoise.

Developing a virtual world, Pokémon World has become a global phenomenon...

Major events sprang up like mushrooms after rain in the two years following Wald's release from prison.

For a moment, Wald, who felt as if he had been reborn, felt that his awakening was a mistake.

Over the past two years, he has been keeping up with this ever-changing world, and in addition to gathering his former partners, he has also made a lot of efforts and paid a heavy price.

However, even under these circumstances, these old guys still failed to catch the train to the new world.

Wald was already somewhat disheartened and was thinking of occupying an island in the New World, hiding for a while, and making long-term plans.

Soon, the Straw Hat Pirates obtained complete information about them and even dispatched Bartolomeo, a powerful figure with a pivotal position in the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, to pursue them.

Having just dismissed a group of World Government members, Wald felt that he was desperately trying to escape the vortex, but was still being pulled into danger by the terrifying vortex.

Kara kara kara kara...

With the sound of tracks squeezing, the members of the long-prepared World Pirates quickly carried up the heavy cannons they had purchased.

In fact, these heavy cannons were originally produced by the Straw Hat Pirates' military industry. However, after the finished products were purchased, they were modified by the ship's mechanics according to World's needs.

Each heavy cannon possesses the power to destroy a naval warship.

With the power of his Devil Fruit, destroying an island would be an easy task.

A Buster Call that can be activated by one person.

This is the real reason why the World Government is wary of the power of this fruit.

Click!

After aiming the dark, deep muzzles of the cannons at Bartolomeo and the Forward Luffy-senpai, Wald immediately ordered them to be fired.

After practicing for a long time, the pirates took their time and lit the fuses on the cannons in turn.

boom!!!--

A thunderous roar of artillery fire suddenly erupted.

Wald was prepared, and just before the cannons were fired, he activated his Devil Fruit ability to amplify the power of the cannons.

Boom!!!

One after another, the shells fired from the barrel were like the iron fists of the gods, gathering again in the sky and crashing down on Barto.

"Arrogant brat, let's see what you'll use to block this time!?"

The fine rain, formed from the seawater, continued to erode the power of Barto's barrier.

At that moment, Wald seemed to see himself completely annihilating the entire Barto Pirates!

Although they will inevitably face relentless pursuit from the Straw Hat Pirates...

But what about him!

No matter how many of them come, Wald is confident that they will not leave alive!

Unless it's the Straw Hat Pirates themselves coming, he can only accept his bad luck.

To die at the hands of such a powerful figure is a fitting end to his illustrious life.

Unlike the Great Pirate Era created by Roger, almost every strongman of the previous era possessed their own pride, and their ambitions were mostly focused on overthrowing the World Government.

The victor is king, the loser is villain.

They have long considered themselves a force on par with the World Government.

Unlike today, where everyone is chasing after the so-called treasure of the Pirate King.

The start of the Great Pirate Era may have made things more exciting, attracting more people to embark on this path of no return.

However, the emergence of the Great Pirate Era also restricted people's ambitions.

After all, their lifelong pursuit was nothing more than to be a hero publicly beheaded by the navy.

That's the limit; how much more can it inspire in a person?

Chapter 489 The spear pierces, then slips out.

Looking at the massive cannonballs that blotted out the sun and hurtled towards their ships at incredible speed...
