Pirates: Who is the real sun god?

One year later, Leah Island Forest.

"Roar……"

"Roar……"

Barrett walked into the jungle, and countless deafening roars resounded across the entire island.

Barrett narrowed his eyes because he felt a sense of pressure from these roars.

The endless jungle is like a black hole filled with light. Not only is it endless, it also contains countless deadly crises.

"interesting!"

Barrett's lips curled up, a hint of interest appeared on his face, and he was no longer in a hurry to find Jhin. He was ready to try out the results of this year.

During this year, his strength increased again. Through the tempering in the volcano, his Golden Crow Fruit seemed to have reached a bottleneck. After the temperature of the Sun's True Fire reached the same level as the magma, it could no longer be increased. However, after a year of hard training, not only did his physique become much stronger, but even his Armament Haki also became much stronger. Although it still hadn't reached the level of advanced externalization, with the fusion of his own ghost energy, he had reached the limit of intermediate Armament Haki, and the thickness of his Armament Haki was several times that of the same level of Armament Haki.

Moreover, with each volcanic eruption, his observation Haki improved to a higher level. Although he could not catch up with Jin, the gap was not far behind.

As for halberd techniques, he combined the family heritage and the advantages of his own devil fruit to create many powerful moves. According to his estimation, his overall strength is now comparable to that of an elite vice admiral in the navy.

Barrett used his Observation Haki and slowly walked towards the center of the forest. He could sense that the roar that had just brought him pressure came from the center of the forest.

Um--

After walking for a distance, Barrett stopped and looked to the right front with lightning eyes.

It was a giant python, purple-red all over, its body as thick as a bucket. It coiled its body, raised its triangular head and stared at Barrett coldly.

"I don't want you to disrupt my pace." Barrett whispered, slowly pulling out the painted halberd from his back. The armed color domineering quickly wrapped around the painted halberd, and the color of the painted halberd became a little darker.

"Po Jun·Yan Luo."

Barrett swung his halberd and smashed it hard at the python. A black and gold halberd light about three meters long flew towards the python with a scorching temperature.

Roar--

The giant python roared. It didn't expect that the ant in front of it would dare to attack. Its huge body began to move, and it used its snake head to hit the halberd.

puff-

zizi——

The halberd blade collided with the snake's head, but there was no loud impact sound. The giant python didn't even have time to scream before the entire snake's head was split into two and melted directly by the scorching heat of the halberd blade. Only half of the body was left moving on the ground a few times.

Barrett calmly put away his halberd and continued walking towards the center of the forest.

A few minutes later, Barrett arrived at the center of the forest. He held the halberd in both hands and vigilantly used his observation Haki to sense his surroundings.

"over there--"

With the help of his observation Haki, Barrett quickly discovered the aura that was exerting pressure on him.

In the dense forest on the left, a pair of cold eyes were staring at him.

"Roar..." It was deafening and visible to the naked eye. With just one roar, the trees in the dense forest were broken by the air wave, and the grass was blown away, revealing the moist and fresh soil.

A huge figure then appeared.

The ferocious head, heavy leather armor, powerful limbs, terrifying claws and thick tail were extremely similar to the crocodiles he had imagined, except that the one in front of him was more than ten meters tall, as tall as a small mountain.

"Found you." Barrett licked his lips with a hint of excitement on his face.

The aura from the crocodile was exactly the same as what he had sensed before, and now the pressure the crocodile gave him was much greater than before.

"Big guy, let you help me verify the results of my achievements in the past few years!" With a loud roar, Barrett took the lead in attacking with a painted halberd. His body turned into an afterimage and instantly came to the crocodile.

Barrett leaped up and swung his halberd with tremendous force. The golden flame and the armament color merged into one, entwined around the halberd, and smashed heavily into the crocodile.

"Roar--"

The crocodile roared angrily, and a layer of black appeared on its claws, blocking Barrett's halberd.

"Bang" the halberd claws collided, causing a violent collision and generating a powerful air wave. The surrounding area of ​​ten meters was flattened, and the flames attached to the halberd were dispersed. The trees around Barrett turned into charcoal in an instant, and the land under his feet was also melted a little.

"Armament Haki, interesting, interesting."

Seeing that the crocodile had armament color, Barrett was not worried, but seemed extremely happy.

"Roar--"

With a roar, the crocodile seemed to be enraged. It opened its bloody mouth, revealing its sharp teeth, and bit towards Barrett.

"Big guy, you can't eat me like this."

Barrett leaped forward to avoid the crocodile's bloody mouth, and grasped the halberd with both hands, with golden flames quickly wrapping around it.

With a "whoosh" sound, a black and gold flame emerged from the painted halberd, and the painted halberd instantly turned black and gold.

"Po Jun - Burning Hell."

Barrett's whole body was burning with flames. He jumped high, holding the halberd in both hands, and chopped at the crocodile's head with the halberd.

Roar--

The crocodile roared, and its entire head turned black, and it pushed hard towards Barrett.

With a "bang", all the flames of the painted halberd burst out, and the tip of the halberd hit the crocodile's head heavily. The black and red flames were shattered and the flames scattered.

Gurgle, Gurgle——

The scorching flames instantly turned the area within dozens of meters into a sea of ​​fire, and the ground into a magma field.

Roar--

The crocodile roared, and its animal instinct made it sense danger. Its four claws were quickly covered with a layer of armor color, turning all black.

dong dong——

The crocodile moved all four of its claws and ran in the lava, trying to escape from here.

"If I let you escape, how will I survive in the future?"

Barrett flashed and stood in front of the crocodile, and a circle of black and gold flames burned on the halberd again.

"Po Jun - Flame Dragon."

Barrett swung dozens of halberds in an instant, and the halberd blades gathered together to form a black and gold flaming dragon that was more than ten meters long, roaring and rushing towards the crocodile.

Roar--

The crocodile roared, and its head quickly turned black, and it rushed towards the black and gold dragon condensed by the sword energy.

bang——

An even stronger impact than before erupted, and a huge heat wave swept across the surrounding area within a hundred meters. Countless trees were affected and ignited with raging fires. A giant dragon circled, and the area within a hundred meters quickly turned into a fire area.

Roar--

The crocodile howled in pain as a gash several meters long was cut on its head. Under the influence of high temperature, no blood flowed out of the wound. Instead, it was directly roasted. A rich aroma of meat quickly filled the forest.

goo-dong-

Smelling the aroma of meat, Barrett swallowed his saliva and looked at the crocodile with greedy eyes.

Roar--

The crocodile roared, and with its front paws wrapped in armament color, it slapped Barrett in anger.

"Big guy, since you dare to extend your claws, then leave them there!"

Barrett smiled grimly, his halberd ignited with black flames, he stepped sideways to avoid the crocodile's claw, and then slashed at the swinging crocodile's claw with a knife.

Nourishes—

Due to the high temperature and the sharpness of the halberd, the crocodile's claw was cut off instantly and fell to the ground with a "bang".

Roar--

The giant crocodile roared in pain, its body twisting continuously, and its huge tail swept wildly, flames flying, countless burning trees and rocks were swept away, and the forest was ignited everywhere. The location of the sea of ​​fire was once again, and everything within hundreds of meters turned into a sea of ​​fire.

"This is a great place, we can't let it be ruined." Barrett murmured.

"Broken Army: Flame Blade."

His figure flashed, and he held the halberd in both hands, and chopped the giant crocodile's neck heavily with the halberd tip. A powerful black and gold halberd light burst out on the giant crocodile's neck.

Roar--

The giant crocodile sensed it and quickly formed Armament Haki on its neck, bursting out with tremendous strength.

"Die to me——"

Barrett's eyes narrowed, and a huge momentum seemed to overturn the world. He increased the strength in his hands, and withstood the crocodile's huge force, pressing down the crocodile's head, forming a huge energy at the crocodile's neck.

With a snap, the painted halberd could not bear the weight and broke along with the giant crocodile's head. The halberd head still had its power and fell heavily to the ground. With a "bang", a piece of the ground collapsed. The violent explosion caused the ground to shake.

"It seems that I must forge weapons after leaving."

Looking at the broken halberd in his hand, a trace of helplessness flashed across Barrett's face. This iron halberd was forged a few years ago, but he never expected that it would be completely broken today.

"How can such a good place be destroyed like this?" Then, Barrett looked at the fire growing more and more fiercely around him, frowned slightly, and then grasped the broken halberd, slashed it around, and the source of the fire was quickly extinguished.

After a few minutes, only traces of a battle were left, collapsed ground, scorched ground, wood and stone, and the corpse of a giant crocodile that exuded an enticing fragrance.

"Boss."

At this moment, Jhin, covered in red and white flames, fell from the sky and landed in front of Barrett.

Looking at the falling figure, Barrett's eyes fixed.

Although Jhin has not grown taller, he exudes a fierce aura compared to a year ago. There are many scars on his naked upper body, the most eye-catching of which is a wound from the left chest to the waist. It is obviously a fatal wound.

However, he did not say much. He could sense that Jhin's aura at this moment was only slightly weaker than his, and was very strong.

"Come on, I'll treat you to barbecue."

Barrett just smiled softly and patted Jhin on the shoulder.

"OK."

Jhin laughed and slowly fell from the air with Barrett.
