The waves surrounding the island surged upwards the instant Kuro clenched his fist, converging at the highest point and completely sealing off the island.

At this moment, the highest wave transformed into the head of a roaring, majestic lion, and the sound of the waves was its roar as it surged directly downwards.

Islands are its prey.

"Run!!"

The pirates screamed in despair and fled in panic.

But how can one escape the vast ocean?

In the world of the ocean, tsunamis are natural disasters!

Moreover, this is not just a simple natural disaster. Kuro added a twisting element to it. If you look closely, you will find that these waves are also generating whirlpools in some places.

This twisting motion could even shred an island.

Those pirates were just one of the targets; the real target... was Barrett!

"Let me show you what a tsunami feels like!" Kuro's face twisted into a ferocious grin.

"Hahaha, that's exactly right!!"

Barrett was not angry but delighted; this was exactly what he wanted!

More than 20 years ago, this man used his abilities to make Roger suffer. Although it is not clear why he is still so young, it doesn't matter. In this world where Roger and Whitebeard are dead, the first person he has to defeat is Clow!

Defeat him, kill him, then defeat all the strong in this world and become the strongest in the world.

The Golden Lion is the first, but it won't be the last!

"Since you're using your abilities..."

Barrett grinned, revealing his white teeth, clenched his fist, and slammed it into the ground.

Bang!

He smashed a crack in the ground, which continued to widen until the land around him exploded, and a steel submarine emerged from it.

The submarine rose from there, allowing Barrett to step onto the ground, and he laughed, "My ship, the Catapult, has collected all sorts of steel and weapons over the past two years. Come on!"

A purple object, resembling a mosaic pattern, burst forth from his body, spreading towards the submarine and quickly surrounding it.

Barrett laughed: "I'm a 'fusion person' who ate the 'fusion fruit', I can fuse with anything and transform, like this, armor fusion!!"

The purple mosaic enveloped him, and after a wriggling motion, it transformed into a robot with enormous hands!

"It's not over yet!"

Barrett's voice came from inside the robot, and a large amount of purple mosaic rushed out of his body, surging towards the ground like seawater.

"Ability users occasionally awaken their powers, and this is the power I gained after awakening. The entire island will be my reliance for fusion!!"

This speed was much faster than the descent of the Kuro Tsunami; in an instant, it had already swallowed up the nearby islands and houses.

"I was prepared for this move, otherwise why do you think I didn't just smash the island down?"

Kuro simply said something in response, and then dragged his finger upwards.

Boom!!

At that moment, all the ships docked at the island's sea route took off, along with the forests and houses, flying away to avoid being captured by Barrett's mosaic.

That's why he didn't let those lieutenant generals sail over, for fear that Barrett would suck up all the warships.

Kuro scraped off a layer of the island's soil.

This island is connected to the continental shelf below, and it would be too troublesome to force it to float, plus there wouldn't be enough time. Just scraping off a layer of the ground would suffice.

Trees, houses, boats—anything on the island that wasn't part of the land—were all floated up by Kuro and condensed into a ball. Meanwhile, the tsunami that was crashing down inexplicably created a large hole in the sky, allowing that ball of things to fly away.

The mosaic could only collapse to the ground and writhe frantically.

Rumble!

After the mosaic slapped, it began to shrink, forming a skeleton of mud and stone around the robot. The skeleton was then enveloped by the lines formed by the mosaic, gradually transforming into a gigantic stone giant.

At this moment, the island had become a flat plain. Under the effect of the Fusion Fruit's power, the island fragments that had fallen earlier were also coming together, and the island's ground was also coalescing, forcibly covering the original three-way sea route.

A once thriving natural trading island has been transformed into a desolate wasteland.

It is common for the strong to alter the weather and landscape.

"Roar!!"

The giant roared at the sky, stretching out his enormous arm. Blue lines, like patterns, covered his entire body, extending all the way to his right fist, where he punched the lion tsunami that had just landed.

Impressive!

Such a large body, yet it still exudes an aura of dominance!

"This level of domineering presence..."

Kuro's eyelids twitched. "He really is a pervert!"

boom!!!

The seawater overflowed and submerged the island, swallowing up all the pirates who remained.

The power of the Fusion Fruit is useless against humans.

Similarly, Kuro was busy clearing the land and didn't pay any attention to the pirates.

But this tsunami basically flooded everything. Now the ground is flat, and there's nowhere to hide.

However, the lion cub falling from the sky was directly blasted apart by a powerful punch, scattering into a torrential downpour, while the seawater pouring onto the island only reached his calves.

The churning of the seawater proved less effective against the overwhelming defense.

"Lucil Kuro!"

The giant turned to look at Kuro, raised his fist again, and lines appeared on his arm as he was about to throw a punch at him.

At that moment, Kuro, who was hovering in the air and had activated the Den Den Mushi on his wrist, shouted, "Cass, Wilbur, where the hell is your laser cannon?!"

Just then, as the seawater mass was broken up, the Golden Lion was revealed in the sky. At this moment, the bow of the Golden Lion was drooping, and the lion head on the bow opened its mouth, from which beams of yellow light shot out.

On deck, Cass pounded his chest and roared, "Accelerate, ten times!!"

Similarly, inside the control room, Wilbur's forehead veins bulged as he touched the laser cannon, "Enlarge it, tenfold!!"

"emission!!!"

The two shouted in unison.

boom!!!

A massive beam of light, as large as a pillar of heaven, shot straight toward the towering giant.

Laser cannon!

They've been preparing since just now.

Or rather, from the moment Kuro sensed the location of the Golden Lion, he used his ability to make the Golden Lion take off and remain in the sky on standby.

Kuro didn't expect that a mere tsunami could take down Barrett.

This guy is only in his forties this year, probably about the same age as Kuzan, and his talent surpasses that of Kuzan and the others. This kind of existence is at its peak. If the sea could be wiped out, then Kuro would have achieved true world peace long ago.

Consume first.

Every little bit helps.

The laser cannon is quite powerful; it can destroy an island with a single shot.

Magnify it tenfold...

"You'll get what's coming to you!" Kuro's eyes were filled with malice.
