Start with Seshomaru form, the strongest ship deputy among all beasts

"Don't be so modest... I'm not as good as you, but your observation Haki seems to be quite extraordinary... What direction are you going in?"

Obviously, reaching the pinnacle of realm is no longer a secret among them.

"The ultimate enhancement of the five senses, I call it 'dynamic vision'!"

"I see... I wonder which one is stronger, Beckman's 'Fatal Lock' or not?"

Beckman, who was walking towards the two of them, heard this and said with a smile:

"Mihawk, you take a rest first. It's our turn next. Jin, do you want to go first or me?"

"random……".

【288】Barrett’s real opponent!

Just as Hawkeye, Beckman, King and Katakuri were fighting each other.

On the other side of the Alliance Island, Barrett and the Red Earl were sitting on the beach, basking in the sun lazily with nothing to do.

Since the two of them were in an alliance, they were not responsible for many matters.

Therefore, apart from daily training, the only task is to form a combat unit with distinct personal style.

It is actually similar to the duties of the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates.

So many years have passed, and the team has been established for many years, so there is basically no need for two people to keep an eye on it.

That’s why it’s so “relaxing”.

This is quite similar to Kaido.

However, Kaido is even more idle than the other two. He is just a hands-off boss and doesn't care about anything.

Apart from drinking, the rest of the daily activities are just boring training.

But he himself enjoys it.

It’s not that Barrett and the Red Earl are not valued by Lin Lei.

It is true that both of them have a more "introverted" personality compared to Beckman, King, Katakuri and others.

Otherwise, the Red Earl would not have been alone on this ocean for so many years.

For the Red Earl, staying in the alliance, apart from keeping his promise, is basically equivalent to staying in the alliance to retire.

Barrett’s situation was similar. Apart from training and leading the team, the thing he looked forward to most was the annual battle with Lin Lei.

only……

"Ugh……"

Barrett sighed softly, picked up a glass of liquor, and drank it down in one gulp under the warm sunshine.

In the Red Earl's glass, there was a glass of red wine. Seeing Barrett's bored look, he smiled and said:

"Why... you still haven't gotten over the fight two months ago?"

"You should be used to it by now."

Perhaps the two of them joined together but were no match for Lin Lei, so they joined at the same time. As a result, they usually have a very good relationship and are very close, like a pair of friends regardless of age.

Barrett heard this, put down his glass and said sullenly:

"How can I not get used to it? But when I think about the gap between me and that guy getting bigger and bigger... I just can't understand it~‖!"

"Obviously, that guy is not as diligent as us in his training on weekdays!"

Two months ago, Barrett fought Lin Lei again.

Although the latter looked very serious and fought until Barrett's physical strength was exhausted, the winner was decided.

But Barrett always had a feeling...

If Linley really wanted to defeat him, he probably wouldn't have to put in much effort!

As the seeing and hearing color becomes stronger, this intuition becomes stronger.

"Do you still remember what Kaido said when we were drinking a few years ago?"

"you are right?"

Barrett frowned and thought.

"The Wano samurai, Kozuki Oden, who was highly regarded by Roger, revealed the prophecy they saw in Raftel before his execution and mentioned a name..."

"Joyboy!"

Barrett remembered.

However, although he was once a member of Roger's pirate group, he chose to leave after learning that Roger was suffering from an incurable disease. Therefore, Kozuki Oden joined after he left.

But he had also paid attention to this name.

"Twenty years later, Joy Boy will go to Wano Country, defeat the Beasts Pirates, and establish Wano Country!"

“According to Kozuki Oden’s meaning, in a dozen years, Joy Boy’s reincarnation will appear in Wano Country, defeat Linley, defeat Kaido, and open up Wano Country!”

“And Linley’s answer at the time was…”

"Who cares about Joey Boy? I'll kill him with my sword!"

"Ha ha……"

Barrett smiled and said, "I believe Roger would not do something without a purpose! But... I can't imagine who in this world can defeat that guy!"

"Maybe Kaido still has a chance...but that guy?"

"Even if that person is Joey Boy himself resurrected!"

"So... you understand what I mean?"

The Red Earl picked up the red wine glass and took a sip.

"Right……"

Barrett smiled silently.

Of course he understood what the Red Earl meant.

Lin Lei is a figure who can compete with the legends in history!

It’s actually no big deal if you can’t compare to others.

"It seems that there is no possibility for me to leave the alliance in this lifetime!"

“That’s not bad.”

The Red Earl said unconcernedly, “I believe that before long… we will be able to witness history! Linley’s steps will never stop in the New World! A war with the World Government for world domination is bound to happen. I believe you cannot fail to see this fact.”

"Indeed."

Barrett nodded: "This is really something worth looking forward to. After all... the grudge with the navy has not been settled yet!"

"You are different from me."

The Red Earl smiled and said, “As you get older, even if you obtain a devil fruit in vampire form, your strength will have reached its limit after awakening.”

"On the contrary, although you have made rapid progress in the past few years, you still have a huge ceiling for your growth."

“And now, what you need is no longer a battle with a huge gap between you and Lin Lei, but a contest with a real gap of equal strength.”

“Lin Lei can’t give you this fight, and neither can I…”

"Kaidou and Linlin are stronger than me, so there's nothing I can do to give it to you!"

"Among allies, the only one who can fight you is probably Beckman!"

"But... he has only just entered our class, and there is still some gap between you and him."

"what do you mean……"

Barrett reacted immediately:

"Hawkeye!?"

"good."

The Red Earl nodded slightly.

"You also know that my Observation Haki has some unique features. Although he did not show his edge in the banquets these days, it can be seen... He is stronger than Beckman. I believe he will be your best opponent at this stage!"

"If this is the case……"

Hearing this, Barrett's eyes suddenly lit up.

Since joining the then dual alliance and the current alliance, his strength has improved rapidly.

Under Linley’s guidance, he not only mastered the entanglement of Conqueror’s Haki, but also took a step forward into the pinnacle of Armament Haki.

And he was still following Lin Lei’s path… (That’s right)…

Armament color·Extreme compression!

Because this is the path that suits him best!

The reason is simple, it is because the "amount" of his Armament Haki is too amazing, far beyond that of ordinary people!

Therefore, in the original work, even if it is only a high-level Armament Haki, and even not entangled by Conqueror Haki, one can firmly enter the Admiral Emperor level by relying on the awakening of the fruit and the alternative development of Armament Haki (Devil Form).

And now that he has comprehended the entanglement of Conqueror's Haki and his realm of Armament Haki has reached a higher level, his strength is not inferior to that of the one who came out of Impel Down in the original novel!

But you have to know that in the original book, he had been practicing hard in Pushing Forward City for more than 20 years, and had accumulated more than 20 years of experience.

It’s only been six years now…

Moreover, he was only one step away from reaching the pinnacle of Armament Haki!

Just as the Red Earl said, we urgently need a strong man of equal strength to fight a life-and-death battle, break the limits in desperate situations, and achieve the pinnacle of success!

And now, this person appeared...

Hawkeye! .

【289】Open the card!

"Accepted!"

On the training ground, Hawkeye sheathed his sword and nodded slightly to Beckman.

But judging from his slightly panting expression at this moment, it seems that this battle was not easy to win.

"Now you are truly ahead of us."

Beckman sighed sincerely.

As Katakuri and King were defeated one after another, Hawkeye took a short rest and then fought with him.

Perhaps he had already prepared himself mentally, so Hawkeye had a particularly difficult time in this battle.

After all, Hawkeye is not like Katakuri, who was able to defeat him because of restraint.

You can use elemental killing right from the start to directly destroy his Soul-Soul Fruit ability, and then use the Mochi-Mochi Fruit ability to restrict his movements.

All Hawkeye showed were his swordsmanship and sword strikes.

This is completely different from Jhin's passive ability to take a beating and "escape in a panic".

Hawkeye fought hard from the beginning to the end, and finally broke up his elements, forcing him to fight in close combat at a much faster speed.

It goes without saying what it means for a gunman to be approached.

As expected, he lost 100 in the end!

And he was defeated fairly!

The only thing to be thankful for is that the Hawkeyes' win was not easy.

"The Soul-Soul Fruit is only a replica, but combined with your gun skills, even I will be defeated if I'm not careful."

Hawkeye glanced around the bumpy ground of the training ground with lingering fear.

The vast majority of traces of various elemental destruction were caused by Beckman.

If he hadn't mastered "dynamic vision", he would have been seriously injured if he was not careful.

Not everyone can remain safe and sound under this kind of "bombardment"!

"Compared to your swordsmanship, this is nothing."
