One Piece: Trainers on the Straw Hat Pirates

Just then, a huge roar suddenly came from the screen.

While the spectators were making a ruckus, Barto had already engaged in battle with Elder Aruru, the last of the giants, on the battlefield.

The loud noise that had just been heard was caused by Aruru swinging his heavy axe at Bato.

The seemingly simple blow contained a violence that was difficult for ordinary people to comprehend. The entire earth trembled violently, and dust billowed into the sky.

But soon, a flippant, mocking voice came from within the dust and mist:

"This is the former captain of the Giant Warrior Pirates who forged the glory and fame of Elbaf!?"

"This power is just too weak!"

"I don't even have the desire to activate Pokémon transformation at all~"

Call ~

A gentle breeze swept by, dispersing the dust that filled the air.

Inside a dark green barrier, Barto was making strange hand gestures, his arms crossed to maintain the Barrier-Barrier Fruit's power.

A tear rolled down his cheek, and he yawned widely, as if he was bored and sleepy after Aruru's attack.

"It's the power of the Barrier-Barrier Fruit!"

Aluru, who was already nearly 100 years old, was not as easily angered as the giants behind him by Barto's few words.

But looking at the barrier in front of Barto, he was caught in a dilemma.

Prior to this, he had gathered information on several important members of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, and naturally knew just how unstoppable Barto's Devil Fruit ability was.

In fact, the moment Barto stepped out of the Straw Hat formation, Aruru knew he was doomed to lose!

no way!

His strength was indeed remarkable, but he was only slightly stronger than the other two, and due to his advanced age, even the physical functions of a giant had declined significantly.

And that giant sword above his head...

To expect him to defeat Bartolomeo, who holds a pivotal position in the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, with his current physique is giving him far too much credit!

but……

We have no choice but to fight!

If we don't fight, Elbaf's glory will truly be ruined here!

Aruru was prepared; he was determined to risk his life to show the spirit of Elbaf.

We must never let the world think that Elbaf, the world's number one superpower that has stood proudly for hundreds of years, is actually nothing special!

"Drink it!!!"

A myriad of thoughts flashed through your mind, Yaru.

He suddenly raised the giant axe in his hand, and his aura surged infinitely.

At this moment, he was no longer the giant elder whose movements had become slow.

A pair of aged, cloudy eyes blazed with boundless fighting spirit and firelight, and the giant axe instantly acquired both Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki.

Sharp, jet-black lightning flashed around Aruru.

"Elbaf Glory, Hegemony!!!"

Boom!!!

In the clear sky, a bolt of lightning seemed to cleave through the void and strike the giant axe in Yaru's hand.

Aruru then brought down his giant axe, unleashing a massive shockwave that charged fiercely towards Bato.

Wherever the impact passed, the earth let out a deafening wail, torn apart by the lightning that scattered around it.

However, if the World Tree and the land of Elbaf truly possess spirits, they should have already grown accustomed to this feeling.

After all, although not much time has passed since this morning, this land has been thoroughly plowed countless times.

The terrifying attack arrived in front of Barto in an instant, and then its momentum expanded again, unleashing even greater power.

however……

boom!!!

It was another violent collision.

Aruru's attack landed on Bato's barrier, and like a hare that was rushing forward suddenly crashing into a tree stump, it came to an abrupt halt and could not move forward an inch.

Within the barrier, Barto let out a maniacal and cruel laugh, mercilessly mocking:

"It's no use! It's no use!"

"An attack of this magnitude, no matter how many times it's repeated, will have absolutely no effect!!!"

The barrier that could ignore any attack from the material world allowed Barto's ambition to swell infinitely.

To defeat him, ordinary attacks won't work!

Even attacks at the level of the Four Emperors can be easily blocked by his Barrier-Barrier Fruit powers.

On land, there is only one way to truly harm Barto: use spatial abilities or a powerful burst of Conqueror's Haki to break down his mental defenses and prevent him from using his Devil Fruit powers.

Presumably, Shanks in the original timeline used this method to break through Barto's barrier ability.

However, Bartolomeo, who joined the Straw Hat Pirates much earlier, is no longer the same person he was in the anime timeline.

As his Pokémon template level increased, his mental resistance naturally improved significantly.

While he might not be able to contend with a powerhouse like Shanks who has honed Haki to its extreme, the Conqueror's Haki of ordinary Yonko level beings would have no effect on him.

At least……

There's absolutely no way that Aruru's Conqueror's Haki could make him lose his mind!

boom!!!

Before Aruru's attack could completely subside, a huge axe descended from the sky and slammed into Bato's side.

"Ok?"

Barto, sensing the whistling sound beside him, knew that the giant axe's flight path did not overlap with his, but he still vigilantly used his barrier power to form a square cube, firmly protecting himself.

To prevent Aruru from attacking him from the side or rear.

Sure enough, just as Barto's attention was drawn to the giant axe, Aruru suddenly appeared in front of him, taking advantage of the momentum of the attack.

Just as Barto was wondering what Aruru was going to do, a giant hand suddenly stretched out to the ground and dug a huge hole in the ground, lifting Barto, who was wrapped in the barrier ability, up in one fell swoop.

"Old man, what are you doing?!"

The sudden turn of events surprised Barto slightly.

Just as he was wondering, Yaru clenched her hand, held Bato tightly in her palm, and then shook it rapidly.

"Elbaf Glory - The Great Wheel!!!"

Bang Bang Bang Bang...

Amidst the violent shaking, Barto's body collided with the barrier.

He quickly reduced the size of the barrier, tightly wrapping his body to minimize any bumps or knocks.

This was something he hadn't expected; he hadn't anticipated that the usually bold and unrestrained Aruru would choose to attack him in such a playful way.

However, it was also Bartolomeo's fault for having little experience fighting giants.

What ordinary strongman could shake a living person like a toy like a giant?

But Barto's counterattack came very quickly!

After stabilizing himself, he immediately manipulated the barrier to form a sphere full of spikes.

This caused countless scratches to be left on his palm every time he shook it.

Unfortunately, Aruru, being a giant, didn't care about this minor injury at all, and didn't even bother to use Armament Haki.

His calloused hands have been honed over three hundred years; how could they possibly be scratched by a mere thorn?

This also made Barto, who was in a state of severe weightlessness, realize...

He truly underestimated these giants.

"I had no choice, you forced me to this!"

A mysterious light of evolution emanated from Bato, its bright white glow even emanating from Aruru's tightly closed hands.

Although the light of evolution flashed by in an instant, Aruru noticed it precisely, and at the same time, he became extremely vigilant.

But at that moment, a furious roar suddenly erupted from his palm:

"You bastard!!! Is this shaking never going to stop!!!"

Chapter 515 Aruru's Determination

Roar! ! !

It was just an ordinary roar, but to Aruru, it felt like a heavy hammer slamming into his brain.

Dark-type move: Roar!

The sound waves, imbued with evil energy, struck Aruru's soul directly, causing his body to stagger.

Just then, in its Pokémon form, Barto jumped down through the gap in Aruru's palm, its figure flashing in the air a few times, quickly widening the distance between itself and Aruru.

"Whoo~"

Aruru clutched his slightly dizzy head, watching Bato's figure gradually recede into the distance, but he couldn't catch up even a step.

"What is that...?"

As a giant, Aruru knew nothing about the Pokémon moves used by Buto, and could not understand why a simple roar could have such a serious effect on him.

But when Aruru raised his head again, he was shocked to see a half-demon formed from a transparent barrier, sharpening its claws and staring at him with empty eyes.

And among the demons was none other than Bartolomeo, who once again struck the pose of the Barrier-Barrier Fruit!

After transforming into a Pokémon, his expression became even more ferocious than before, indistinguishable from the barrier demon that now surrounded his body.
