#114 - Chapter 114: Fusion Fruit
Even after awakening Conqueror's Haki, Jin was still at a disadvantage in the fierce battle against Barrett.
The brutality of this battle far exceeded all his previous experiences.
Every step he took felt like walking on the edge of a knife, and every breath was like brushing shoulders with death.
"Hahahaha, merely dodging won't defeat me!!"
"Face your fear, boy!!!"
On the battlefield, Barrett's laughter was like the screech of a night owl, particularly chilling in the dark night before dawn.
Every movement of his carried unparalleled brute force, and with every punch, the air seemed to be torn apart, forming terrifying currents of air that rushed towards Jin.
"......"
Jin gritted his teeth, and although he intended to launch a counterattack, his inner strength was being consumed rapidly in the confrontation with Barrett.
His body was already covered in wounds, his clothes tattered, and every dodge and counterattack became exceptionally difficult.
"Is that all you've got? Haha, what a disappointment!" Barrett's voice, carried by the wind of the battlefield, reached Jin's ears, each word piercing his pride like a needle.
However, in this tense atmosphere.
Jin's eyes suddenly became exceptionally deep, and his heart remained absolutely calm.
Even when facing a powerful enemy like Barrett, even when at a disadvantage in strength, he never had the slightest thought of giving up.
"No, this won't be my limit," he muttered to himself, as if lighting a lamp in his heart, pointing him in the right direction.
In the ensuing battle, Jin began to try to use his awakened Conqueror's Haki, but after all, he had only just awakened it, and was far from being able to use it freely.
Although it was still difficult, under Barrett's immense pressure, he constantly broke through his own limits, seeking an opportunity to turn the tables.
......
But in this moment of crisis, a strange change quietly occurred.
Countless tiny cyan light spots initially flickered on Jin's skin, and then these light spots gradually spread out, turning into patches of cyan scales like coral in the depths of the ocean.
They slowly crawled over Jin's arms, extending to his entire body, each scale seeming to contain extraordinary power.
Barrett witnessed this scene, and a hint of doubt and vigilance flashed in his fierce eyes, causing his body to pause involuntarily.
But soon, his rough voice sounded again, full of fighting spirit and arrogance.
"Hahahahaha, a Devil Fruit user, good!"
Barrett's laughter was even more domineering, his rolling voice echoing across the battlefield, carrying oppression that struck everyone's hearts time and time again.
Jin's body underwent miraculous changes, but his eyes remained firm and powerful.
The cyan scales shone in the sunlight, and he was not moved by Barrett's mockery.
His figure moved through the battlefield like a dragon, and cyan light shot from his eyes.
With one step, the ground trembled slightly, he gathered his strength, leaped up, and launched an attack on Barrett.
At the same time, a flash of ferocity also appeared in Barrett's eyes.
His Devil Fruit ability gave him a strange connection to the surrounding natural elements.
Everything around him, whether it was hard stone, quicksand, or broken wood, all gathered at his will.
They surrounded him, merging into his body, and instantly condensed into an indestructible natural armor.
He threw a punch, and the powerful force seemed to solidify the air.
The two attacks occurred almost simultaneously, like two colliding meteorites.
Jin's cyan dragon power and Barrett's combined power armor clashed violently.
Instantly, explosions rang out, dust flew, and the surrounding air was compressed to the extreme, as if it would explode in the next second.
The cyan dragon shadow intertwined and collided with Barrett's chaotic power.
The battle became even more thrilling.
Every roar of a fist, every echo of a foot landing, made the earth and air groan.
Above the vast and boundless sea, two powerful forces were colliding violently, stirring up layers of huge waves, as if to tear apart the heavens and earth themselves.
At this moment, whether it was the Navy representing justice or the pirates pursuing freedom, their eyes were drawn to this earth-shattering battle, and their shock was beyond words.
The surrounding spectators stood in the distance, staring at this devastating duel, their eyes filled not only with shock, but also with an unspeakable awe.
As the battle continued, the intense shock waves impacted their senses time and time again, as if each collision was heavily pounding on their hearts, making them tremble with fear.
A young spectator gripped the railing beside him tightly, his face showing an incredible expression.
"Is... is this really the power of humans? It's like a battle from mythology!"
His voice trembled slightly with shock, and he had never imagined that the battle before him would be so shocking.
On the Navy warship, the soldiers gripped their weapons tightly, their gazes, a mixture of worry and anticipation, pierced through the waves, staring at the battle taking place in the distance.
"This... this really surpasses our understanding... what kind of power can create such a scene?"
His voice seemed insignificant in the thunderous collision, but the soldiers beside him could hear it, and their hearts were equally filled with shock.
And on a pirate ship in the distance, the rugged pirates gathered in a circle, observing the terrifying battle through telescopes.
"I've lived for so many years, and this is the first time I've seen such a battle, what monsters are those two guys?"
They stood on the edge of the battlefield, with different thoughts in their hearts, but at this moment they could not resist the shock brought by the power that was strong enough to change the world.
As wanderers on the sea, they had seen countless storms and experienced all kinds of life-and-death struggles, but the scale and intensity of the battle before them was something they had never seen in their lives.
The air was filled with electric sparks, and the surrounding rocks even began to melt slightly, reflecting the hideous shadows of the two dueling.
The tense and fierce battle was suddenly interrupted by a roar, like thunder piercing through dark clouds, it was the sound of a power that was enough to shake one's mind and soul arriving.
Everyone's gaze focused on the new figure in an instant, and they saw a burly figure rushing into the battlefield quickly.
He was like a moving mountain, and every step he took left deep footprints on the ground.
Everyone watched nervously, holding their breath, and time seemed to freeze at this moment.
This suddenly appearing burly figure took a deep breath, and then rushed towards Barrett without hesitation.
His movements were simple and direct, without any unnecessary frills.
At the moment when everyone's eyes widened, his fist slammed **** on Barrett's hard body made of his ability.
A deafening collision sound came from the air, and at that moment, time seemed to stand still.
Barrett's body, as if struck by a heavy hammer, was suddenly sent flying backwards under this violent punch, and the whistling sound of breaking through the air during the process shocked all the spectators.
Then, a cloud of dust flew up, and Barrett regrouped, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
"After dealing with the small fry, the old one comes......"
