Pirate: I am the nephew of Akainu

Chapter 170 The Devil's Gift

Facing the soaring Barrett, Hughes didn't intend to test it, and directly pulled out the cherry ten on his waist, who stipulated that he must touch the flesh.

I have never heard the classic saying that no matter how good your kung fu is, you will be knocked down by a brick.

Since your physique is amazing, then I will slash you with a knife. Hughes can keep in mind that he still has the profession of a swordsman.

"Draw a knife and cut"

Greetingly cut out a sword, as expected, the flaming sword energy was crushed by Barrett.

Hughes now possesses not only Seraphim's fruit ability, but also Thunderbolt, the fruit of thunder, which can just try to integrate thunderbolt into swordsmanship.

"Thunder net!"

A ray of lightning entwined around Ying Shi's sword, cutting out dense thunder and lightning sword energy in an instant.

Thunder and lightning sword energy criss-crossed into a thunder net in the air, covering Barrett who was about to attack Hughes.

Although the dense lightning sword net wrapped Barrett, the actual effect was not significant.

Facing Barrett, who was domineering enough to cover his entire body, these thunderbolt sword qi, which were high in quantity and low in quality, seemed to be massaging Barrett's body.

"Dragon Slash"

Compared with the previous two moves, this move is the ultimate swordsmanship inherited from Longma, which is the real method of Hughes.

With the blessing of the thunderous fruit, a blue-purple thunder dragon roared and fell from the sky.

Facing the moves of the peak swordsmanship, even Barrett did not dare to neglect.

Black and red arrogance spread all over his arms. Barrett's body was already tall and strong. You must know that in the world of Pirates, he can be described as tall and strong, and most of them are more than three meters tall.

Standing in front of the dragon's head with such a body size, he didn't give up much. He saw his two arms moving up and down, tearing open the dragon's mouth that he wanted to close.

With a roar, Barrett actually tore the dragon's mouth open, intending to tear the brontosaurus in half.

However, Hughes' sword is not a show, Thunder Dragon is just to cover the real killing move.

I saw the electric light on the dragon's head burst red, and then the whole dragon's head was painted with bright red flames. It only took a few breaths, and the blue-purple electric dragon turned into a big red blood dragon.

The whole dragon's aura became ferocious, and with a high-pitched dragon cry, Ying Shi, glowing red, slashed out from the dragon's mouth.

Sword moves, sword moves, how can there be no sword, even a ferocious flying dragon will be cut under the sword.

Hughes came out with a sword. This move is the last nightmare of the dragon, and it is the sword of lore.

Longma's dragon-slaying swordsmanship was never created in the form of a dragon, but for the purpose of slaying a dragon.

Speaking of today's fierce battle, Hughes' swordsmanship has improved to a higher level, and things that he couldn't see at the beginning can be integrated now.

"Too bad, Barrett underestimated the enemy, how could this kid go so far in swordsmanship." Redfield said in panic, subconsciously got up and wanted to rush to help, but it was too late.

Blackbeard sneered at the side, and his heart was indeed very serious.

He knew the strength of Hughes very well.But I didn't expect that Hughes' strength would steal so much in just a few months.

Especially the thunder and lightning ability exposed by Hughes, and the far more superb swordsmanship than that day, made Blackbeard both surprised and confused.

Kendo attack is the reason why Blackbeard never fights Hughes in close quarters. He is afraid that Hughes will suddenly injure him with swordsmanship, and dark fruit ability users are most afraid of the irreversible swordsmanship attack.

The group of pirates beside him, who are regarded as companions, are a great threat to Blackbeard.

He didn't dare to get too seriously injured, so as to test the loyalty of his partners.

The long sword bathed in flames slashed at Barrett's chest, and the black and red flames were burning, resisting the sword for Barrett.

However, the long sword only paused for a moment before cutting through the arrogance.

An oblique scar appeared on Barrett's chest. The wound was not very deep, because Barrett grabbed the long sword at the last moment, and the short-term resistance of the arrogance still played a role.

"Harmful"

Hughes sighed, raised his foot and kicked Barrett's chest, and pulled Sakura Ten out with the help of reaction force.

Even after going through so many troubles, it only hurt Barrett, and he had to use stronger sword moves to kill him.

But Flying Dragon Slash is already the pinnacle of swordsmanship, and if you want to go further, you can only attack with the sword method that Ryoma said.

Changing reality with incredible will, incomprehensible kendo rules.

It's a pity that Hughes's current level of swordsmanship is still a long way from being able to perform kendo attacks.

If he wanted to kill Barrett, he had to find another way, and Barrett was still not immune to the fruit ability.

As long as the battle continues, Hughes thinks he has a better chance of winning.

It's not that Hughes can't continue fighting with Barrett, but for some reason, Hughes always feels faintly flustered, telling himself to rush back to Marin Fendo immediately.

At his level, especially after Waldo had just tempered his arrogance, Hughes paid special attention to this kind of hidden perception, and he was determined to end the battle as soon as possible.

I just glanced at Blackbeard and the many pirates off the field.

Even if Barrett was killed, it would not be an easy task to solve them.

Besides, when Barrett's life is in danger, these pirates will definitely rush to help Barrett before Hughes dies.

As for the one-on-one that Barrett said, just listen to it as a joke, and take the pirates' words seriously.

Looking at the injuries on his body, Barrett revealed an expression of excitement on his face.

For a long, long time, he hadn't experienced such a battle, and he felt that the blood in his body was burning.

"Unexpectedly, your swordsmanship has reached such a level."

Barrett closed the wound on his chest, and under the pressure of his strong chest muscles, the wound turned into a line of blood.

"I was careless, but it won't happen anymore. The wound made me stronger." Barrett came to the ground, reached out and inserted his hand into the ruins, and the walls that fell off from the deep sea prison began to change.

In the eyes of Hughes, this change process is similar to that of Transformers. After multiple combinations and transformations, a rock arm similar to Kidd's magnetic arm, but much more beautiful, appeared in Barrett's hand.

"That's about it. It's a decent weapon." Barrett tried to swing it a few times, and the speed of the rock arm was not much slower than Barrett's normal speed, which really didn't conform to physics.

After a brief difference, Hughes remembered that before Barrett changed the material structure of the cannonball, it was obvious that he also changed the material structure of the rock. His development of the fruit was not much inferior to that of the body technique.

Could this be the descendant of the devil? A man who is strong to the bone.

"The move just now is useless. Unless there is a stronger slash, it is impossible to hurt me." Barrett said very confidently.

Hughes naturally wouldn't believe what Barrett said, so he had to try it himself.

"Three Absolute Cuts of Instant Shadows!"

It is also the peak swordsmanship's instant three cuts, Hughes intends to use this as a stepping stone, and wants to test the strength of the rock arm.

After adding the ability of the thunder fruit, Hughes's slash is faster than before.

The three streams of thunder and lightning sword energy merged into one in the air, turning into a black-purple plasma line.

The terrifying plasma line sliced ​​downwards, and even the air was slightly distorted wherever it passed.

This is due to the high thermal current of lightning, which evaporates the moisture in the air and causes visual disturbance.

"What do you think I relied on to survive the demon-slaying order? I, who believe in power, would give up the devil fruit." Barrett swung his rock arm and smashed the plasma thin line.

There was not much movement when the two collided, and the plasma thin line cut the rock wall very calmly, but the speed was very slow and the stamina was not enough.

It only sank by a third, and the thin plasma line disappeared, which made Hughes feel cold, and the effect was really bad.

That was the strongest slash that Hughes could use, and he couldn't even cut off the rock armguard. I couldn't imagine how amazing the defensive power of Barrett, who was completely covered, would be.

"It's that kind of black-red gaseous flame. His stone arms are connected by that kind of gaseous flame. The internal structure is very similar to a honeycomb." Redfield said.

Redfield has been observing the battle above, whether Hughes or Barrett, these are opponents that Redfield needs to be vigilant about.

In the deep sea prison, Laidfield could live in peace with Barrett and Blackbeard, but when they got out of here, they needed to be vigilant when they met.

There is only one Pirate King. It is impossible for Pirates to have a so-called alliance. They are competitors.

What Barrett fears Laidfield the most so far is not his superb physical skills, but this kind of black and red arrogance of unknown origin. The actual combat feedback of this strange energy is really good.

In fact, without Redfield's reminder, Hughes also discovered the nest-shaped structure of the stone arm.

After the plasma cut into the stone skin, the black and red gas flames filling the slits of the stone arms acted as a good buffer, just like the very famous non-Newtonian fluid.

It is impossible to cut hard, the rebound of the flame is very strong, so it can only be done step by step and slowly deepen.

But the thing about sword moves is to pay attention to a quick word, how can there be a sword move that is slowly polished, I think it is an old lady grinding a needle.

"What the hell is your black and red arrogance? It can't really be the legendary ghost aura." Hughes asked curiously.

As a contemporary socialist three-good youth, Hughes does not believe in ghosts and gods, and the world of One Piece is very scientific.

No matter how outrageous things are, they can be attributed to devil fruits. There are all kinds of strange devil fruits, but there is no ghost talk.

Therefore, Hughes is very curious about this kind of alien domineering, and wants to know what this kind of thing is, and whether he can learn it. After all, this thing is really practical.

"Ghost aura?" Barrett chuckled, "It's not bad to say it's ghost aura. It's true that it's not a product of the living, but it's wrong to say it's a gift from the devil."

"It's not so much a gift from the devil, but rather it's the devil's approval. This is the power that can only be obtained by crawling out of hell."

Barrett did not hide the origin of the black and red arrogance. If anyone wants this kind of power, then go for it. Even he doesn't want to experience it.

"I was originally a soldier, a fighter who fought for the country. I felt that I would protect this country all my life until I died." Barrett said with self-deprecation: "But I didn't expect that I would be betrayed by this country. Betrayed by my fellow soldiers."

"Did you know that the reason they betrayed me was because I was too powerful, which made them fearful and made them insurmountable." During the speech, the incision on Barrett's rocky arm had healed.

"I killed them all, destroyed my country, and it became what it is now." Barrett's other normal arm stretched forward, and a black-red flame condensed in the palm, how coquettish and sinful it was color.

"It's all gone, and it appeared. This is the devil's recognition of me, and I have become the same as them." Barrett crushed the arrogance in his palm, which is both strength and curse.

Hughes took a deep breath, and Redfield was also very surprised, only Blackbeard was very excited about it.

If, as Barrett said, this kind of power is really an ominous thing, even if it is very powerful, Hughes plans to stay away from it.

The price is too high. For Hughes, what is the meaning of its existence for this kind of abandoning everything to gain power.

Strength is not used to protect the precious things. If it is only for the sake of becoming stronger, what is the meaning of this kind of powerful existence? Hughes looked at Barrett with some pity.

His heart was already dead, the moment this arrogance called ghost aura appeared, his heart was dead.

"Are you still planning to hide it now?" Barrett said to Hughes, "As a dual-fruit ability user, your strength should not be limited to this level."

Barrett said excitedly, "A monster like you is a very rare beast."

Although Hughes did not hide the fact that he is a double-fruit ability user, he did not expect to be discovered so quickly.

Even Blackbeard, who had fought against him before, didn't think about it from the side of the dual fruit ability user, and he didn't expect Barrett to be able to see it.

Hughes asked curiously, "How did you see that?"

This is considered to be an acknowledgment of his identity as a dual-fruit ability user, and the black thieves on the ground were in an uproar. This was the first time they had heard of a double-fruit ability user.

Only Blackbeard's face was uncertain. He was wondering why Hughes could become a double-fruit ability user, and whether his situation was the same as his own.

Thinking of this, Blackbeard thought of meeting Hughes for the first time, and he knew that he had taken the dark fruit.

Could it be that he even knew his own plan.

Blackbeard looked up at Hughes, making no secret of the murderous intent in his heart, his plan could not go wrong.

"Hey, I'm a warrior who fights all the year round, and countless races have died at my hands." Barrett said proudly, "I've seen races that mastered flames, but I've never seen a race that mastered thunder."

"Besides, the taste of the fruit ability is very easy to distinguish. I am not one of those wastes."

"Use all your strength. Is there any opponent in this place that makes you afraid, or do you think that I am not enough now?"

After Barrett finished speaking, he roared, and the walls of the deep sea prison began to fall off, and they all gathered towards Barrett's body.

Adsorption deformation, and then polymerization transformation, the process is very fast, as if growing out of thin air.

It's not that Hughes didn't think about blocking it during the period, but the sword energy he cut out could at most crush stones, and the number of stones in the deep sea prison is an astronomical number.

In the end, a stone giant who was smaller than the San Juan wolf and full of mechanical beauty appeared in front of Hughes.
