call...

The wind howled, stirring up a cloud of dust and ruffling the hair of the two people.

Barrett removed the broken earphone and tossed it aside. He raised his hands and clenched his fists, making a cracking sound.

As the gentle breeze blew by, both seemed to have rested enough. Barrett smiled at Kuro and said, "Shall we continue?"

Kuro kicked off the ground, gripped the sword with both hands, making the golden lightning on the blade explode even more intensely, and charged forward at lightning speed, answering Barrett's words with his actions.

Barrett grinned and raised his fist, his blue-black Unifying Aura carrying a swirling, whirlwind-like energy as he threw a punch.

BOOM!!!

The blade clashed with the fist, producing a loud thud that shook the entire island.

Kuro was jolted back by the force, but he used the momentum to float up. Shusui drew a spark on Barrett's fist and slashed straight at his arm.

Barrett raised his other hand, opened it behind his back, and prepared to grab Qiushui's blade.

Buzz!

"Slice the Waves".

The blade gleamed, unleashing a powerful slash that appeared in Barrett's hand. The force of the slash forced Barrett to take two steps back before he forcefully flung it away. At the same time, his pupils contracted, and he delivered a sharp kick to the side, aiming at Kuro who had suddenly leaped from his side.

This kick was aimed at Kuro's lower body; if it had hit, his movement would have been off track.

Left with no other choice, Kuro turned his blade downwards and blocked Barrett's legs with a single strike, creating a shockwave upon impact.

Barrett threw a punch, but only hit a blur. Kuro dodged and appeared in the air from the other side, his golden light enveloping Qiu Shui as he slashed down.

The sky and earth are on the same line.

"Yellow Dragon!"

"Ultimate Giant Cannon!"

Barrett fearlessly threw a punch.

BOOM!!!

The earthquakes are still ongoing.

Watching the battle gradually intensify and noticing the island shaking more violently, the navy men all wore solemn expressions.

"It's incredibly powerful..."

Hancock bit her thumb, her eyes darkening further.

Although I was too proud to admit it, thankfully she came.

Hancock wasn't afraid of this level of strength, but there was no need for her to offend someone like that. She could handle it, but Amazon Lily couldn't.

"Is this his true strength?"

Crocodile said in a deep voice, "It seems he had a lot of tricks up his sleeve at the top."

How much can a person grow in just over two years? Of course, it's limited, which makes Crocodile believe that Kuro held back more than a little bit at the time.

However, in reality, the differences between people cannot be generalized.

Mihawk glanced at Crocodile, smiled slightly, and continued to look at the battlefield, gripping his great black sword even tighter.

That kind of strength made his blood boil.

Compared to their first meeting in the East Blue, this man has grown into a man who is fully capable of challenging his position as the world's greatest swordsman.

He wants to sword fight Kuro!

"Damn it! There's no way I can get involved!"

On the Navy's side, Doberman was yelling in annoyance.

Onigumo remained silent, munching on a cigar, and glanced sideways at the Marines who had been knocked down by Conqueror's Haki, his brows furrowing slightly.

These naval elites are still too weak to intervene in a situation of this intensity.

But it's to be expected; when you collide at sea, you're bound to encounter someone like Barrett.

On the other side, Maynard staggered over, narrowly avoiding falling, before being caught by the flying squirrel and helped to his feet.

"Vice Admiral Flying Squirrel, I'm sorry..." Maynard shook his head, looked towards the battlefield, and asked, "Who will win?"

"have no idea..."

The flying squirrel shook its head and looked over as well, saying solemnly, "It's not time to decide the winner yet, or rather, it's still warming up."

"What?!" Maynard exclaimed in surprise, "This level of combat is just a warm-up?!"

The flying squirrel nodded and said no more.

As elite lieutenant generals, they could see that although everyone had started using Unifying Aura and the intensity of the battle was escalating, in reality, their battle was only just beginning...

Bang!

Bang bang bang!!

laugh!!!

The fighting gradually escalated, and the actions of both sides became increasingly violent, causing the island to tremble from time to time, making Bucky tremble with fear.

He wanted to run, but the island seemed to have its edges raised, and he had no boat; there wasn't a single boat in the surrounding sea.

"or..."

He turned to look at his companions who had already fainted, then glanced at the fierce battle ahead with a twitching eye, swallowed hard, and asked, "Shall I observe for a while longer?"

The sun slowly sets, the moon rises, and the starry sky shines brightly in all directions. On a flat island below the sky, golden lightning and blue-black energy occasionally flash and collide, swirling and almost shooting into the sky, even casting shadows on the moonlight, revealing only a hazy moon.

As the hazy descent began, the sky was once again shrouded in a golden-red hue.

It was getting light.

Pakistani waited from dawn till dusk, and from dusk till dawn again, but still saw no chance to escape, no ships, and no sign of victory or defeat.

when!!

*Smack*

A crisp sound suddenly rang out, bursting the snot bubble that had appeared on Bucky's nose as he dozed off.

"What's wrong? What happened?!"

He raised his head, which had been nodding off in the middle of a nap, and shouted.

At that moment, Kuro slashed Barrett's arm with his sword, and Barrett followed up with a punch. Kuro then flashed to his side, holding his sword high with both hands.
