Chapter 278: Random Move
On the west coast where maple and locust trees cover a thousand miles, Gion finally found the hiding Barrett. He immediately drew out the Kinpira from his waist, his eyes shining, and he was eager to try.
Barrett is a battle fanatic who loves fighting by nature, but the kind of battle he loves is one in which the gap between the two sides is not big and he can fight to his heart's content.
To put it another way, even if there is a big gap between the two sides, Barrett can still fight with passion.
Instead of fighting Gion——
Not only can he not win, he can only act as a sandbag and defend himself humbly. Whenever Gion gets hurt, even if it's just a scratch, the Red Earl or Lex will definitely have a thousand weird reasons to beat him up.
Barrett looked at Gion approaching with tears in his eyes:
"Gion-sister, actually I——"
"What are you?"
"I--"
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, Shimosakura Naraku!!~"
The peach-pink flying slash broke through the air with Gion's voice and shot towards Barrett not far away.
Barrett had a look of astonishment on his face, and he stared at the huge blow coming towards him with difficulty. He had to mobilize the domineering energy in his body and passively resist.
Boom! ~——
The dust was stirred, the air was surging, and the sea and sky were shaking.
Today's Gion is undoubtedly an emperor-level combat force. Over the past two years, it has carried out systematic and in-depth development of the Fallen Angel Fruit, completely making up for its last shortcoming - physical fitness, and developing in the direction of a hexagonal warrior.
On the offensive end, Gion is the 23-year-old number one female swordsman in the ocean. You can imagine how powerful her skills are. Any of her strikes can have the power of an emperor.
On the defensive end, she ate the super-powerful mythical beast-fallen angel fruit, and gained the physical strength and recovery ability of the extremely powerful mythical beast, which is almost as good as Charlotte Linlin.
Moreover, behind Gion is the patient guidance of the top kings in various fields of the ocean. His swordsmanship was taught by the Red Earl and Lex, and his physical skills were also learned from the Red Earl. As for domineering, after Gion joined the navy, Zephyr spared no effort to teach Gion domineering in order to repay Lex's kindness of revenge.
In addition, Golden Lion, Rhine and others would occasionally guide Gion.
And what about Barrett?
This year is the end of the Haiyuan calendar year 1494. Barrett is only 17 and a half years old, but he is already a strong man at the admiral level. He stands at the pinnacle that is difficult for the world to look up to, and is qualified to peek into higher mountains - the king level.
There are only a handful of kings in this sea today, and except for Rex, a 25-year-old young man, all of them are legends who have gone through several eras.
Golden lion.
White beard.
Red Earl.
Roger.
Garin-St.
Steel Bone·Air.
And Cap, the king-level floor tile.
They can all be regarded as king-level combat forces, which is very powerful.
The most distinguishing feature of king-level combat power from emperor-level combat power is that it has absolute suppressive power over strong people below the king level.
There is more or less a gap in strength between ordinary admirals and ordinary emperor-level pirates, but it is not obvious in battle.
And once the opponent is a king-level boss, this kind of suppression force will be very strong.
For example, if Sengoku, the only admiral of the current navy, were to fight Shanuo or Roy, the odds would be 50-50, not much different.
However, if Sengoku were to fight against the current peak Golden Lion or peak Whitebeard, it would be very difficult for him, and he would definitely be defeated and killed.
As for letting Warring States and Lex, the god-level players, fight, well, they would be gone after a few moves.
So in Lex's eyes, the Warring States period is just a unit of measurement.
This is why Lex is now confident that he can take charge of the situation in Qinghai, because his strength is impeccable! ~
It is precisely because he has come up step by step from obscurity and experienced the strength of each stage that Lex knows how terrifying his current god-level combat power is.
At some point, Lex and the Red Earl had arrived at Fenghuai Qianli West Coast.
Looking at Gion and Barrett who were fighting in the sea and sky not far away, the Red Earl spoke softly:
"What do you think of this kind of strength?"
The Red Earl's question seemed simple and straightforward, but he was actually asking Lex another question - that is, how strong are you now?
Yes, even the Red Earl today is no longer clear about the strength of his only disciple.
Therefore, through the evaluation of Gion or Barrett, two standard emperor-level fighters, the Red Earl may be able to see Lex's current height.
Lex was naturally well aware of his master's question, so he revealed a little:
"As for Gion, with the Fallen Angel Fruit, he will surely reach his peak in twenty years, and his combat power will be no less than that of his uncle. As for Barrett, he is expected to reach the level of Rocks."
After a pause, Lex began to reveal his own strength. He did not say it directly, but stated it from another angle:
"However, even the so-called Rocks, the super king-level combat power that I once defined, is only a slightly noteworthy existence in this sea, not to mention that it is only a flash in the pan."
Hearing this, the Red Earl stopped paying attention to the battle between Gion and Barrett not far away, and instead focused on Lex beside him. His heart was shaken, and he whispered:
"Are you at a height now, so high that even Rocks can look down on you?"
After 1491, the year when Lex, Red Earl and Barrett went to the moon for secret training, the Red Earl never really fought with Lex again, so he has not yet witnessed Lex's current attainments.
In the eyes of the Red Earl, a simple sea legend, Rocks is the strongest man he has ever seen in his life. He can almost fight one against two, and even when seriously injured, he is still able to suppress the combined forces of Roger and Garp. The Red Earl knows that he cannot do it.
Lex sneered and did not directly answer the Red Earl. Instead, he disappeared on the spot with a flash of blue light.
The next moment, Lex appeared out of thin air beside Gion and Barrett who were fighting in the sky above the west coast, and smiled heartily:
"You two, join forces to fight me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lex took action without giving Gion and Barrett any chance to refuse!
Although he said he was brazen, he actually didn't even draw his sword. He just waved his hand lightly, and a dimensional slash with the force of space mixed with the armed color domineering was swung out at a very fast speed!
The speed was so fast that even the Red Earl on the ground had his pupils shrink.
I haven't seen Lex take action for a few years, but he has reached the point where I have to look up to him!
Is it really so unreasonable to be talented?
Do not!
This is no longer a talent. People like Barrett and Enel can still be called talented, but people like Rex who have no bottlenecks, make rapid progress, and reach the top of gods far ahead of others are just hanging on the wall!
In Gion, Barrett used all his best moves and tried his best to block Lex's casual attack.
Gion's Fallen Angel Fruit not only comes with the overbearing angel flame, but also has a unique conceptual ability in the world - time and space freeze!
Therefore, Gion transformed into a fallen angel orc, his eyes looking straight ahead, and his ability to freeze time and space was activated to the extreme.
But the next moment-
Bang! ——~
Lex's slashing almost never stopped, and instantly blew Gion and Barrett into the sky.
Perhaps Gion's space-time freeze really froze the slash for a moment, but in front of the armament domineering of Rex's divine domain, that moment was almost negligible.
The Red Earl watched Lex easily blow away Gion and Barrett, two emperor-level fighters, with a sharp gaze, and asked directly to Luska who appeared at the west coast at some point:
"Luca, 800 years ago, could the strongest person be as good as Lex?"
As an ancient sea king with a long lifespan, Luska was naturally well-informed. After a brief thought, he answered directly:
"I remember that when Joey Boy was at his peak, he could knock away the so-called emperor-level fighter with a single blow of his domineering color. He seemed to be about the same as Lex now. It was too long ago, but that's probably it."
"What about Im?"
"Him? Reid, I'm telling you the truth. In terms of fighting power alone, Lex is no less powerful than Nerona Im. That guy can't even beat Joey Boy in a fight. He's really weak."
"Hmm~"
The Red Earl smiled knowingly. At this moment, he was more proud of his disciple than ever before.
