He has lost interest in this battle and is ready to end it directly, but before that...
"Barrett, let me give you one last chance."
Maude slowly raised Qiushui and pointed at Barrett, whose arms were bleeding.
"Opportunity? What do you mean?"
Barrett suppressed the shock in his heart and frowned at Maud, not understanding what the other person meant by this sentence.
Maud looked calm and said calmly: "I will give you a chance to show your strength, and then I will end this battle directly."
"…!"
Barrett's expression changed.
Immediately afterwards, an indescribable anger emerged from the bottom of his heart.
Give the enemy a chance to show off your strength, and then use overwhelming force to directly eliminate the enemy.
This is what he has always done.
Especially during the period of escaping from the deep-sea prison, he used this "combat step" to kill countless people.
But he didn't expect...
One day, such combat steps will fall on you.
The anger welling up from the bottom of his heart showed on Barrett's face.
He wanted to say something to Maud, but after glancing down at his bleeding arm, he said nothing.
In this world, the competition is about fists, not mouths and voices.
It is because the fist is not strong enough that we are despised and humiliated...
The stab wounds and pain on his arm reminded Barrett of a fact at all times.
That is, in a head-on confrontation, his strength and skills are not as good as Mod's.
And the domineering force that could easily tear through his defense just now emphasized this cruel reality.
Looking at countless battles in the past, he has always had only one way to win, and that is to beat the enemy head-on.
Now facing an opponent like Mod.
If he followed his previous fighting style, it would only make him fall faster.
"Abandon speed and use the awakening ability of the Fusion Fruit..."
In just a few breaths, Barrett's thoughts began to change and he quickly adjusted his mentality.
He didn't mind any slights from Maud.
Because in his opinion, Maude is the strongest person in the world today and has the qualifications to despise anyone in the world.
"Showing strength... Hahaha!!!"
Barrett thought about the way he had treated others in the past, and while he was adjusting his mentality, he couldn't help but raise his head and laugh out loud, without the slightest worry that Maud would take advantage of the situation and take away his life with a knife.
Of course, it was impossible for Maud to do such a thing. She just looked at Barrett who suddenly laughed out loud with a calm expression.
After a while.
Barrett slowly stopped laughing and asked: "Maud, how much do you know about my 'ability'?"
"Absolutely clear."
Mod nodded and said calmly: "Your ability can fuse objects outside your body that you touch with your own hands. A more appropriate term is fusion."
"You are right, but the ability after awakening..."
Barrett stared at Mod and grinned: "Even if you don't touch it with your own hands, it can affect things beyond the ability user on a larger scale. And my ability has been awakened. The range of influence alone is enough to cover The entire Shuixianxing Island.”
"oh?"
Maude raised her eyebrows slightly.
In his knowledge, there were not many examples of people with superhuman abilities awakening.
And even if you awaken, there is a certain upper limit to the range that you can "influence".
Take Doflamingo as an example. His awakened Thread Fruit ability can only cover half of the town with his "assimilation ability" at most.
And Barrett can actually cover the entire Water Star Island
You must know that Shuixianxing Island is a very large island. Among the tens of millions of islands in the world, it can be said to be only a handful.
"In other words, you can merge with the entire Shuixian Star Island?"
Maude looked at Barrett with a glimmer of light in her eyes.
He finally had some expectations.
“…”
Barrett was silent for a moment after hearing this, and then said in a low voice: "How can such a thing be done?"
Maud was stunned for a moment, then a little disappointed.
Seeing Maud's disappointed reaction, the corners of Barrett's mouth twitched a few times.
But he finally understood.
Under normal circumstances, I might not even be able to cheer up Maud.
Although very reluctant...
But he would not give up the idea of defeating Mod until the end.
"Let you see it, my all-out attitude!!!"
Barrett ignored the stab wounds on his arms and clenched his fists hard.
Without waiting for Mod's reaction, he tried his best to use the ability after awakening from the Fusion Fruit.
All of a sudden.
A crystalline object flashing with purple light appeared out of thin air under his feet, and it expanded in size in the blink of an eye, sweeping around like a monstrous wave.
Such a majestic momentum and scale made Maude's eyes light up.
This means that Barrett's Devil Fruit ability has reached an extremely high level.
It also means that if he takes away Barrett's experience gains, it is very likely that his ability star will be upgraded to ten stars in one fell swoop.
The crystallized thing like a huge wave soon came to Maude.
Maud remained unmoved and looked at the surging wave of crystals.
But the wave of crystalline objects glowing with purple light took the initiative to avoid Mord and swept away into the distance.
"What is Barrett's ability..."
The Mord Pirates outside the battle circle, as well as the Hawkeyes who were fighting, all noticed the wave of crystals coming from Barrett.
They keenly noticed that this wave of crystals was continuously expanding in size as it surged.
Waves of crystals rushed past their eyes, heading in all directions.
Along the way, the many weapons scattered around the corpses of the Charlotte family members were all absorbed by this wave of crystals.
Not only that, this wave of crystals also targeted the weapons in the hands of tens of thousands of pirates on the island.
With his ability alone, Barrett couldn't use his ability to take away the weapons of Mod and the others, but he could still take away the weapons of the tens of thousands of pirates on the island.
but.
Barrett's ultimate target is hundreds of ships along the coast!
If you look down from a high altitude at this moment, you will see the wave of Barrett's abilities, like a rapidly multiplying virus, rushing to every corner of Shuixian Star Island at extremely fast speeds.
This scene was captured by a camera phone installed high up.
"The scope of this 'influence' is too outrageous..."
On the navy warship, a lieutenant general watched the wave of abilities sweeping across the island in the live broadcast, his face full of shock...
Chapter 497: The probability of resisting a punch is 0%
The huge scale of the awakening of abilities shocked most of the naval generals in the warship cabin.
They have been hunting down pirates and criminals for many years, and have gone through countless battles, but this is the first time they have seen an awakening ability of such an outrageous scale and scope.
"Hmm~~~Everyone is a complete monster~~~"
Kizaru was slightly surprised as he looked at the wave of crystals that quickly spread to the entire Water Star Island in the live broadcast.
Such a scale and scope, as well as the speed of erosion, cannot be achieved even by Aoki Pheasant, who has the strongest field control ability.
but.
From the perspective of lethality, it is simply that the thunder is louder than the raindrops.
Or-
This wave of crystals itself will not cause harm to the "living body".
Therefore, although it seems to be a powerful force, it actually only takes away the weapons in everyone's hands and does not pose a direct threat.
despite this…
Kizaru would never forget the description of Barrett's abilities in the intelligence.
"The combined fruit~~~"
Staring at the countless weapons caught in the wave of crystals, Kizaru thought of the pirate ships anchored along the coast.
It is really hard to imagine what tricks Barrett would use these things to do. Fortunately, our own army was not in a hurry to go to Shuixian Star Island.
Otherwise, in the face of Barrett's tsunami-like awakening ability, dozens of expensive warships would definitely not be able to escape.
Kizaru was a little lucky.
The naval generals who witnessed this scene through the live broadcast mostly had the same idea.
"Before entering Shuixian Star Island, we must at least confirm that Barrett is not capable of fighting!"
The naval generals looked solemnly at the huge crystals sweeping toward the coastline like a tsunami in the live broadcast.
This catastrophic scene shocked even the well-informed naval generals, let alone civilians around the world.
After seeing the abilities displayed by Barrett, they all turned pale and trembled with fear.
Shuixianxing Island.
The tsunami-like crystals swept away countless weapons on the island, and then pressed against the numerous pirate ships anchored along the coast.
The pirates who were responsible for staying on the ship abandoned the ship and jumped into the sea without even having time to think when they saw the overwhelming wave of crystals.
Poof, poof—
There were a lot of splashes on the sea.
The pirates who jumped into the sea carefully emerged from the sea after recovering.
What came into view was the rapidly receding wave of crystals, while the ships originally moored on the sea were nowhere to be seen.
"what happened?!!"
The pirates who emerged from the bottom of the sea looked at the empty sea in shock or blankly.
In just a few seconds...
How could such a big ship disappear out of thin air
The hundreds of ships along the coast all became Barrett's materials in just a few seconds.
Only a dozen ships anchored slightly further offshore escaped the disaster.
Among them is the Hades of the Mord Pirates.
"That's Barrett's ability!!!"
On the deck of the Hades, Bucky the Clown, who was responsible for staying here, was gaping at the wave of crystals doing whatever they wanted on the island.
"But… "
Bucky opened his mouth wide and couldn't say another word.
