Chapter 8 Devil Fruits Fully Activated!

The waves on the coast are surging and turbulent.

"what--!"

Apollo and Dragon were in a fierce battle, but the fight was interrupted by several screams in the night sky.

Both of them pushed the other away from them, and then they distanced themselves and looked towards the source of the scream.

Apollo looked at the figure falling from the sky in the center of the island and couldn't help laughing: "You don't have anyone who can do such a thing, Garp's son."

"Lake must have dealt with the crows and is slaughtering your men wantonly on the island, haha."

Dorag remained calm and activated his ability to blow a figure into the air. He controlled the wind element to bring the figure in front of him.

After discovering that it was a pirate, the corners of his mouth began to rise: "Haha, maybe, I just recruited a very capable new soldier a few days ago."

Looking at the pirates in Dragon's hands, the pirates under his command, Apollo's smile suddenly disappeared.

"What's going on? Shouldn't Lake be slaughtering those damn navy people on the island? He just mastered the Armament Color, it shouldn't be possible for him to be defeated by the crows, right?" Apollo thought to himself, having a bad feeling in his heart.

With a plop, pirates one after another in the air were knocked back to the place where they were.

When Apollo saw that they were all his men, his expression became more and more serious. He took out Den Den Mushi and contacted his partners on the island.

The Dorag in front of him did not stop and also wanted to know the situation on the island.

Bulu Bulu——Bulu Bulu——

After Apollo dialed the number with the Den Den Mushi in his hand, another voice connected to the Den Den Mushi in his hand was heard in front of the nearby dock entrance.

On the dark street, Arthur was walking towards the two men with the Den Den Mushi that he had connected to in his right hand and a pirate with a fist mark on his face in his other hand.

"Lake?" Seeing this, the first name Apollo thought of was his subordinate, but the difference between that figure and his subordinate was too great.

"I have always believed that only by remaining kind can the world be less hostile to me when I step into this world in the future." Arthur came to the coast where the two were and spoke calmly.

When Dorag saw that it was Arthur, he was overjoyed and asked, "Arthur, what's the situation on the island?"

On the other hand, the moment Apollo saw the familiar Den Den Mushi in his hand, the veins on his forehead quickly became red and bloodshot:

"Why are you holding Lake's Den Den Mushi, you little navy brat!"

"Um...you mean the muscular pirate vice-captain who was nearly four meters tall? I beat that guy to pieces. But he still had a breath left." As he said that, Arthur threw the Den Den Mushi in his hand into the air and threw it to Apollo.

Apollo had just received the Den Den Mushi and checked to see that it was indeed from his subordinate Lake, when another pirate was thrown by Arthur from the dock stairs to the ground in front of him.

"I knocked out almost all of your men." Arthur, with his gun on his back, took out a bounty from his backpack and read it slowly:

"Beast Apollo, bounty of 3 million, it's you, right?"

"Arthur! Don't be careless!" Seeing Arthur talking to Apollo in a leisurely manner, Dorag became a little worried.

Only he, who had fought with Apollo for such a long time, understood that the opponent's ease seemed to be as if he had some strength that he had not yet used.

Arthur, who had already become serious, didn't care at all. He was so excited that he was trembling all over and his will to fight was high.

Coupled with the tragic rescue experience in the town, he was eager to end the battle and then devote himself wholeheartedly to the practice of the Six Styles.

"Every second we delay, one more person will die. The situation on the island has become one-sided in favor of the navy. Colonel Dorag, now we just need to defeat this guy to end this battle, right?"

Arthur felt that since he had chosen to join the navy and learn the Six Styles, then as a soldier he should protect civilians and the people.

At the same time, this battle made it clear how many innocent casualties would be caused by Sakaski's large-scale bombing of the island.

He didn't like Sakaski before he traveled through time, and now he hated him even more.

"Storm Kick!" Arthur kicked towards Apollo. He was even taller than Lake who he had just fought against. It could be felt that his strength was not on the same level as Lake's before they even started fighting.

"So... you defeated Lake?" Apollo's face darkened, and facing Arthur's kick, he simply punched it and smashed it in the air in front of him.

"That's right..." Arthur lowered his voice and looked at him.

He was somewhat shocked that the other party had easily broken his Storm Kick that was enough to injure the vice-captain of the pirates just now.

Apollo appeared in front of the protagonist almost instantly, his eyes revealing a cold murderous intent.

Just like his name, Beast, he is terrifying.

Apollo punched out with the force of thunder. The power of this punch was so great that the surrounding air was exploded, forming a powerful air wave that swung towards Arthur's face.

"Holy shit!" Arthur's eyes widened, trying his best to dodge.

However, Apollo's speed was beyond his imagination, so he could only clench his fists and punch him with all his strength.

With a loud bang, the two fists collided. In less than a few seconds, Arthur's power was directly broken by Apollo's domineering power and his own strength.

“With his domineering aura and strength even greater than mine, I can’t even defeat this guy!” At this moment, Arthur’s whole world seemed to freeze.

Only Apollo's mighty fist hardened by the armed color domineering was frozen in front of him.

The next second, the soft wind reached Arthur before Apollo's fist, and in a very short time condensed into a wind wall that was enough to reduce the damage.

With a bang, Apollo's fist broke through the wind wall and hit Arthur hard, and he said jokingly: "This is a thank you gift to you for my men, kid!"

Arthur spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body was knocked into the ground on the coast by a huge fist.

Suddenly, a violent hurricane attacked Apollo's body like thousands of blades.

"Knowing Haki doesn't necessarily mean you can defeat me. Although I know Haki now, Apollo, the power of the fruit alone is enough to defeat you!"

After Dragon learned about the situation on the island, he saw Arthur, who had just been recruited to the warship, being injured. He used all his strength to activate his devil fruit ability.

A terrifying tornado soon appeared on the sea near Lionheart Island. As if controlled, the natural storm transformed into several giant oriental dragons and rushed towards Apollo.

"Garp's damn son!"

The strong storm caused the ships docked at the nearby archipelago to shake violently, and the masts of many pirate ships were blown off on the spot.

"Call the wind and summon the rain...! The power of the fruit on you was originally ours, damn Garp!" Apollo was shocked by the storm of doomsday created in an instant by Dragon's ability.

At this moment, even if Apollo's body was wrapped in domineering aura, he could not withstand the heavy blow to his whole body. He could only use all his strength to activate the passive defense of domineering aura and try to find a breakthrough point to get in front of Dragon.

"Damn it! Garp's son!" Apollo roared in pain as his body was hit hard by the elemental wind dragon:

"You've used up so much energy to activate your ability. Aren't you afraid that the civilians on the nearby islands will get hurt?"

In theory, Haki can restrain the power of devil fruits, but that is just theory.

In actual combat, if your Haki is not strong enough and has not been fully cultivated, you will most likely be restrained by the Devil Fruit.

"You are an evil pirate who only cares about enjoying the pleasure of slaughter. Stop saying nice things to me! Your era is over, remnants of the Rocks Pirates." Dragon used all his abilities and became extremely serious.

Many wind dragons appeared around, roaring over the sea, shocking everyone on the nearby islands.

The waves piled up several feet high and rushed towards the surrounding islands like a flood.

Such a terrifying move is no less terrifying than the meteor volcano that launched a devastating bombardment on the island by Sakaski.
