Pirates: Who is the real sun god?

Three months later, Leah Island.

Rumbling--

Silver snakes were dancing wildly in the sky, and countless lightning bolts struck the lightning area on the island. The sound of "crackling" was endless, and deep pits were blown out on the ground, making it uneven.

"Boss, do we really want to use lightning to forge our bodies? I feel like it's a little unreliable. I always feel like I'll be struck to death if I'm not careful."

Jhin looked at the dense lightning in front of him and swallowed his saliva continuously. It was obvious how panicked he was.

Looking at the dense thunder, Barrett also felt panicked. After all, thunder body training was only a method he knew from reading some novels in his previous life, and he didn't know whether it was reliable or not.

But when he thought that this world was originally an extraordinary world, and that he had a strong physique and had eaten the Golden Crow Fruit, he felt unwilling to give up if he did not try.

"Jin, there are no shortcuts to becoming strong."

Barrett suppressed the panic in his heart, took out his halberd, walked to the edge of the minefield, and pointed the halberd at the sky. He planned to try to guide a bolt of lightning to see if it could have the effect of tempering his body. Anyway, with his current physique, a bolt of lightning could not kill him.

boom--

Soon, a bolt of lightning was induced and struck Hei Che. A powerful electric current quickly transmitted into Barrett's body. The electric current "crackled" in his body, stimulating the cells in his body and making him feel comfortable and numb all over.

Barrett could feel that under the stimulation of electric current, he could feel his cells becoming active and his body's strength was slowly increasing.

Jhin behind him was staring at him closely, and if there was anything wrong with Barrett, he would quickly drag him out.

call--

"My guess was indeed correct."

The electric current dissipated, Barrett let out a long sigh, and a smile appeared on his face.

Then, Barrett turned around and said to Jhin, "Jhin, my guess was correct. Lightning can indeed increase the strength of the body. Come and try it."

it is good--

Jhin's obsession with becoming stronger was no less than Barrett's. Without any hesitation, he walked to a place not far from Barrett and followed the same method, drawing a bolt of lightning towards himself.

Barrett put away his halberd and went straight into the minefield. He could feel that the lightning did not cause much damage to him and did not consume much of his physical strength.

However, he also knew his limits and only took a few steps without going deeper.

Not long after, Jhin felt the benefits of being struck by lightning. Seeing Barrett entering the minefield, he followed him into the minefield without hesitation and began to practice with Barrett in peace.

An hour later, Jhin walked out of the minefield with a tired face, glanced at Barrett who was buried in the lightning, and after resting for a while, he flew to the outside, preparing to get some animal meat.

……

Time flies, and before I knew it, two years have passed.

Deep in the minefield, endless electric lights flashed, the electric current crackled, and the silvery-white light was very dazzling.

In the center of the minefield, Barrett and Jhin were constantly expanding inside. The sound of the long swords colliding made a "ding ding" sound, coupled with the roar of thunder, it was as if they were composing a new piece of music.

More than ten minutes later, Barrett and Jhin separated and walked shirtless in the dense thunder and lightning. The lightning struck them without any reaction, just like messengers of thunder.

"Boss, I feel like the lightning here has no effect on me anymore."

After two years of training on Leah Island, Jhin temporarily removed all his disguises. His hair became white and his wings became black. His height also grew to nearly 3.5 meters. His handsome face showed a hint of regret and depression.

"Since it's useless, let's go to the volcano. The volcano can still have a great tempering effect on us."

Barrett nodded. After two years, his height reached about 4.5 meters and his appearance became much more mature. Although he was not as handsome as Jhin, he was stronger. Moreover, under his deliberate control, his figure was well-proportioned and his height was higher than the normal one in the original work. He was no longer big and strong and top-heavy.

"It's a pity that the lightning is a little weak. It would be better if it was stronger."

After walking out of the minefield, Jhin looked back with regret.

“It’s really a pity.”

Barrett pursed his lips. Through the tempering of lightning in the past two years, the physical strength of the two has increased a lot, and their domineering aura has improved by leaps and bounds. Jin's armament Haki has reached the second stage, and his observation Haki has improved by leaps and bounds to the advanced level. His domineering Haki has also reached the intermediate level after occasional sparring with Barrett. As for kendo, he is even close to the peak of a swordsman.

Under Barrett's intentional or unintentional indoctrination, Jhin's devil fruit developed rapidly. The flame was no longer pure red, but red with blue. Jhin's control over the flame was also very high, and the temperature of the flame was almost the same as that of magma. Not only was the temperature high, it also had a certain effect in repairing injuries, gradually approaching the Nanming Lihuo, one of the ten great divine fires in the prehistoric times. Jhin also shamelessly called his own flame the Nanming Lihuo.

This made Barrett despise it for a long time, but after two years of being struck by lightning, Barrett himself had stabilized his Armament Haki at the peak of the second stage, and was only one step away from being able to release it. His Conqueror Haki had even reached the advanced peak, and his Observation Haki was relatively poor, having only reached the intermediate level.

He is also very extraordinary in the development of devil fruits. He uses the Golden Crow in his previous life's memory as a magic board, and keeps sharpening it in the thunder. His speed is now on par with Jhin, and the temperature of the flame is also increasing rapidly. Although it still has not reached the temperature of magma, it is not much different. Moreover, his flame is purer, and it is golden when it appears. Now it has even integrated the power of thunder, making it more domineering, and faintly has some meaning of the Sun's True Fire. Naturally, he also shamelessly calls it the Sun's True Flame.

For this reason, Jhin would naturally not give up the opportunity to despise.

"Let's go! Let's go to the volcano."

Barrett patted Cinder and walked towards the volcano.

Jhin withdrew his gaze and quickly followed Barrett.

The two chatted along the way and it didn't take much time for them to reach the foot of the volcano.

"Boss, are you sure you want to enter the volcano to practice?"

Jin looked at the volcano emitting black smoke, his face looking extremely serious.

"Yes!" Barrett nodded. "Not only me, but you too. If we want to increase the temperature of the flames, entering the volcano to practice is the best option at the moment."

Barrett patted Jin with a smile on his face and said, "Don't worry! With our current strength, there won't be any problem training in there. Instead of worrying about it, you might as well get some beast meat so that you can recover from your injuries."

"That's true." Jin smiled and said, "Then you go and practice first, Boss. I'll go get some beast meat and play with my old friends in the forest to see how strong you are. After all, fighting can sharpen yourself."

"Indeed, although there is great terror between life and death, there is also great fortune."

Barrett nodded in agreement. What Jhin said was indeed right. In addition to hard training, one also needs to go through countless life and death battles. Only in this way can one become a truly strong man.

"Then boss, be careful. I'll bring food over later."

After Jin finished speaking, he flew up into the sky without any reluctance and headed towards the forest of Leah Island.

"It's time for me to do my life and death test."

Barrett took a deep breath, a puff of black smoke came out from under his feet, and he strode towards the crater with big strides.

Barrett looked down at the interior of the volcano. The magma inside was bubbling with a "gurgling" sound, coloring the bottom of the mountain red. The scorching heat continued to bake the rock walls inside. From time to time, rocks fell into the magma and were melted directly with a "gurgling" sound.

Barrett stepped on the moon steps, avoided the thick smoke, and slowly descended to the bottom of the volcano. Then a heat wave hit him. Even though his fire resistance was greatly enhanced, he still felt a burning sensation.

Barrett clenched his fist and put his hand directly into the lava. After a moment, a burning sensation came from his arm, causing him to feel a slight pain.

A few minutes later, Barrett took out his arm and carefully sensed the temperature just now, but after a long time, the temperature he could control still did not increase.

"Damn, if you're not crazy, you can't live."

Looking at the rolling magma, Barrett gritted his teeth, took off the painted halberd and placed it on a stone platform, wrapped himself with the Sun's True Flame, and walked directly into the magma.

"Gurgle, gurgle." The magma seemed to be attracted by something and kept surging towards Barrett. Barrett's whole body was quickly wrapped up and sank quickly, leaving only his head outside.

Hiss, hiss——

The burning sensation of the magma made Barrett feel very painful. He kept gasping for breath, and his physical strength was quickly consumed as he used his abilities. But he could also feel that in the intersection and resistance with the magma, he could clearly feel that his development of the Golden Crow Fruit was slowly improving, and his physical strength and the temperature of the flames were slowly getting stronger.

Although the improvement was not significant, he felt relieved. At least there was still room for improvement.

Huhu——

A few minutes later, Barrett jumped onto the stone platform, breathing heavily. In just a few minutes, his physical strength was almost exhausted, and his whole body was burned red by the magma.

"It seems that we can only take it slowly."

After pausing for a moment, Barrett picked up the red painted halberd and flew out of the crater.

At night, Jhin arrived as promised, and after Barrett came, he jumped into the volcano.

Barrett used his life return to recover some of his strength, then flew towards the forest with his halberd.

In the following time, Barrett and Jin did this every day, and the time they stayed in the magma became longer and longer. The development of their fruits became more and more profound, and their combat skills also improved rapidly.

Half a year later, the temperature of Cinder's flames reached the same level as the magma. There was no point staying in the volcano any longer, so he simply gave up the tempering of the volcano, entered the center of the forest, and began an endless battle.

Barrett, on the contrary, did not fight again. Instead, he focused on increasing the temperature of his own flames and stayed in the volcano to practice.
