Chapter 1290 Laser Attack
"Boom!" Accompanied by a loud bang, the laser shot towards Barrett like a meteor, instantly hitting his body and exploding violently.
In an instant, a thick smoke rose into the sky, like a thick veil, tightly covering Barrett, making it impossible to see his figure.
Yellow Monkey and his companion quickly pushed away the wooden board pressing on them and escaped from the smoke. Their eyes met, and they could see the astonishment and vigilance on each other's faces.
In the cab, the fisherman was trembling all over, his eyes wide open, looking at Kizaru and the other man in horror. His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and he couldn't make a sound.
"Pirate?" Kizaru frowned slightly, his eyes like two cold lightning bolts, shooting straight at the fisherman. He slowly raised his right hand, his fingertips flashing with frightening lasers, obviously ready to put the fisherman to death.
However, just as Kizaru was about to take action, Yixiao beside him suddenly stretched out his hand and stopped him.
"No, he is a kind person." Yixiao's voice was calm and gentle, in sharp contrast to Kizaru's coldness.
Hearing this, Kizaru frowned even more, but he still stopped what he was doing. The laser flashing on his fingertips also slowly disappeared, as if it was dispelled by Yixiao's words.
However, Kizaru didn't say anything more. He just looked at the fisherman coldly, then ignored him and turned his attention back to the area that was still shrouded in smoke.
At this moment, the smoke was suddenly torn apart by a powerful force, and Barrett's figure flashed out from it like a ghost.
The laser had shot a huge hole in his originally intact coat, revealing his dark skin. However, this did not affect his aura at all, but made him look even more powerful and fierce.
"You two did a great job." Barrett raised his lips slightly, revealing a faint smile. His voice was low and magnetic, as if it could penetrate people's souls.
As he spoke, Barrett stepped forward, and every step seemed to be stepping on people's hearts, making people feel an invisible pressure. As he approached, his aura began to rise like a volcano about to erupt.
"Whoo~"
Just as Barrett was concentrating on observing the surrounding environment, suddenly a low and suppressed breathing sound sounded in his ears without warning.
The sound was like a demon from hell, making people shudder.
Barrett's nerves tensed up instantly, and his expression became extremely solemn in an instant, as if he had encountered an extremely terrifying enemy.
"Kakaka!"
Immediately afterwards, a biting cold suddenly erupted on the pirate ship like a volcanic eruption.
The cold air came with great force, and wherever it passed, whether it was steel or wood, it was instantly frozen, forming a thick layer of ice.
Barrett's body was not spared either. In the blink of an eye, he was covered by the cold air. His entire body was tightly wrapped in ice, and only his head could barely move.
"Aokiji, you're here too."
Although his body was frozen, Barrett's mind remained clear.
When he saw Aokiji standing not far away, he couldn't help but feel surprised.
He never expected that Aokiji would appear here.
Moreover, judging from the current situation, these guys seemed to be well prepared and were specifically ambushing him here.
"Barrett, the newly built Impel Down City is waiting for you to return."
Aokiji said expressionlessly, his voice was cold and ruthless, just like the chilling air, making people shudder.
"Oh? With the tsunami so severe now, can you still find the gate to Impel Down?"
The corners of Barrett's mouth rose slightly, revealing a disdainful smile.
Although his body was frozen, his strength was not greatly affected.
He just exerted a little force, and the originally hard ice began to crack.
With a "bang" and a roar from Barrett, the ice wrapped around his body exploded instantly, and the broken ice fragments shot everywhere like bullets.
At this time, Barrett finally got rid of his restraints and regained his freedom.
However, before he could catch his breath, he found himself surrounded by Aokiji, Kizaru and Fujitora.
………………
"Hu~~"
A cool sea breeze blew gently, accompanied by a long sigh from the sea.
This sea breeze seems to carry the breath of the sea, making people feel peaceful and relaxed.
However, in this moment of silence, the fierce fighting in the distance suddenly stopped without any warning.
Whether they were navy or pirates, they all seemed to be under a spell. They stopped what they were doing and turned to look at the fishing boat where Barrett and his men were.
At the outermost bow of the pirate ship, Crocodile stood leisurely at the stern with a cigar in his mouth. The smoke slowly came out of his mouth, forming white clouds.
A barely perceptible smile appeared on Crocodile's face. He seemed to be very interested in what was happening in front of him and had no intention of leaving in a hurry.
Instead, he looked more like an audience ready to enjoy a wonderful drama, patiently waiting for the plot to develop.
"Boss..." The subordinate standing next to Crocodile spoke hesitantly.
"Don't leave in a hurry," Crocodile waved his hand and interrupted his men, "Let me finish the show." His voice was low and calm, revealing a kind of confidence.
After saying this, Crocodile took another deep puff of his cigar and slowly exhaled the smoke. The smoke spread in the air, like a layer of gauze, covering his figure and making him look even more mysterious.
However, beneath his seemingly calm appearance, he was calculating rapidly inside.
He thought to himself that if Barrett could hold on in this battle, then he could reap the benefits; but if Barrett could not hold on, he would have to decisively support him, after all, Barrett was still of use to him.
"This favor should be able to offset a devil fruit," Crocodile muttered to himself, as if he was mentally weighing whether this deal was worth it.
Suddenly, on the originally peaceful pirate ship, the four figures began to move like ghosts!
