Chapter 196: Attack and Kill, Unrivaled Defense! (Two-in-One)
The man who suddenly appeared in the square in front of the Dawn branch dormitory was Douglas Barrett, known as the Devil's Heir.
This man was once a crew member on the Pirate King Roger's ship, but later disappeared from the Pirate King Roger's ship for some unknown reason.
Now suddenly appearing in the Dressrosa Navy branch, Borsalino couldn't help but think of many things.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni, who seems to have some kind of close relationship with Roger; the crew of the former Pirate King Roger who suddenly appeared in the heart of the Navy branch; and... him, the Vice Admiral who does not belong to this Navy branch.
Borsalino's brain naturally connected everything that had happened and came to a chilling conclusion:
"Are you one of the people sent by Ji Guoyuan to kill me?"
"What is his relationship with Pirate King Roger?"
Borsalino suddenly asked in a deep voice, looking at the blond young man who emerged from the smoke and dust. His expression was quite grim as he asked this question, even darker and more terrifying than the night itself.
Borsalino, standing in front of the dormitory corridor, caught Douglas Barrett's attention. Hearing the name "Roger" from the other party, Barrett raised his head slightly and looked at Borsalino.
"Where is Captain Roger?"
Douglas Barrett didn't know what Borsalino was talking about. Now he just wanted to know where his captain was.
Ever since he learned that Pirate King Roger was arrested by the navy in Dressrosa, he has been traveling day and night, and finally arrived in Dressrosa tonight.
As soon as he arrived, Douglas Barrett didn't take time to rest and directly attacked the naval base.
His goal was to rescue Roger from the navy.
His relationship with Roger was rather complicated. When he was young, Barrett was feared by his fellow countrymen due to his excessive strength.
After leaving that country, Barrett has been alone.
It wasn't until he met Roger, a man even more powerful than himself, that Barrett finally felt he had found his destiny, and he stayed on Roger's ship for many years. It wasn't until Barrett learned that Roger had a terminal illness and was dying that this young man, who had always admired Roger's strength, left Roger's ship.
Is it because he doesn't like Roger and there is some irreconcilable conflict between him and Roger's crew?
No.
Barrett simply didn't want to accept that outcome.
The man more powerful than himself, the one known as the Pirate King, was actually sick? Dying? Barrett refused to accept this absurd reality.
Barrett felt extremely unhappy every time he saw Roger and felt his increasingly weak aura.
That's why he walked out of Roger's ship.
But in his heart, Roger has always been the person he respects the most.
Roger, even if you have to die, you must not die at the hands of the cowardly navy!
A weak navy. That's what Barrett thinks of the navy.
"Roger?"
“.”
"Who knows?"
Borsalino was slightly surprised by Barrett's question. He felt like he had misunderstood things. The other party didn't seem to know Roger's whereabouts. Could it be that they were sent by Jiguoyuan to kill him?
While feeling puzzled, Borsalino gave a perfunctory reply.
At this time, the noise Barrett made in the port had woken up many sleeping navy soldiers.
Not only the navy, but also the Dressrosa guards stationed at the port heard the horrifying noise, dressed neatly and walked out of the camp. Then they saw the flames rising from the direction of the military port and rushed to the navy branch.
The doors of the dormitories upstairs and downstairs in Borsalino were opened, and some sailors poked their heads out of the doors to check the situation outside.
The dormitory where Borsalino lives is in the same place as other sailors. Because the place is relatively large, all the sailors in the branch now live in single rooms, even Lieutenant General Borsalino is no exception.
At this time, the door of a room on the top floor of the dormitory building was also opened. Ji Guoyuan opened the door, stood in the corridor at the door, lowered his head and looked at the square, watching Barrett who broke into the naval base. His expression was silent, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
However, there was no aura on Yunyi's body, and Barrett's attention was focused on Borsalino.
The reason was very simple. He felt a very powerful aura from Borsalino, and heard the name "Roger" that he had been thinking about from the other party's mouth.
Barrett thought that the wretched-looking navy man upstairs must know something, so he planned to capture him and torture him!
"Don't you want to tell me?"
"Soon, I'll let you speak!"
Barrett grinned, clenched his fists, and lowered his knees slightly. The moment he saw the other man's movements, Borsalino's observation Haki predicted his opponent's next move. His body quickly transformed into tiny dots of golden light, condensing directly towards Barrett's head.
Although he said a lot, Borsalino completed his actions in the blink of an eye.
A golden flash lit up directly above Barrett's head. The next second, Borsalino's body condensed and he kicked Barrett directly.
"ju——"
Even when Borsalino attacked, a terrifying whistling sound erupted in the air.
"Oh~ You're really decisive!"
"He works so hard even after get off work. Borsalino will definitely be a good employee in the future."
On the top floor of the Navy dormitory, Ji Guoyuan couldn't help but laugh when he saw Borsalino take the first step.
Meanwhile, in the square, Barrett reacted quickly the moment Borsalino attacked, quickly wrapping his domineering aura around his arms and raising them above his head.
“Boom!!!!”
There was a loud noise.
Borsalino's light-speed kick hit Barrett's arm directly.
At that moment, the bluestone floor of the square cracked directly, and mud splashed out from the gaps between the stone slabs. The horrific vibration spread directly for hundreds of meters. The marines in the navy dormitory could clearly feel the ground shaking.
In the blink of an eye, the cracks on the bluestone slabs spread rapidly in all directions and soon affected the navy dormitory. The foundation shook and cracks appeared on the walls of the dormitory.
“.”
Noticing cracks in the newly renovated dormitory building, Jiguo Yuanyi couldn't help but feel speechless.
"oh--"
“That’s amazing!”
In the square, Borsalino maintained his flying kick posture, with a hint of surprise in his eyes and a lazy sigh from his mouth.
Feeling the terrifying force coming from his arm, Barrett's expression couldn't help but become more serious.
His left hand quickly reached out and grabbed Borsalino's ankle.
“How terrifying!”
"One Piece's crew!"
Borsalino exclaimed in surprise, but his body never stopped moving. He unexpectedly spun in mid-air, quickly withdrawing his right foot while instantly striking Barrett's temple with his left.
In an instant, Barrett's figure disappeared from Borsalino's sight, turning into a shadow and flying towards the street outside the branch.
“Bang!!!”
Barrett's body flew hundreds of meters, penetrated several walls of the naval base, and finally stopped when it was embedded directly in the outer wall of the base. As the dust flew, Barrett's figure quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Did you win?"
“Amazing!”
"The invaders have been defeated!"
The marines in the dormitory cheered upon seeing this. Seeing Barrett being kicked away by Borsalino, Tsugikuni Yoriichi couldn't help but stroke his chin in amazement.
Douglas Barrett, known as the Devil's Heir, was a real headache for the Navy. In the future, he was apprehended by Sengoku and Garp after the Navy used the Demon Slayer Order to severely damage him.
Decades later, the supernovas of King Luffy's generation couldn't even last a single round against Barrett. It was only with the help of Boa Hancock and Sabo that King Luffy finally defeated this former crew member of the Pirate King.
Although Barrett has not yet gone to the underwater prison for "further training", his personal strength has already reached a small peak and is definitely not something that ordinary opponents can withstand.
But now Borsalino was able to kick Barrett away easily, which shows Borsalino's strength at this time.
Borsalino is now in his early thirties, but in the eyes of Yoshikazu Tsugikuni, this guy's strength is at a small peak.
Even if he is weaker than he was more than 20 years later, he is not necessarily much weaker.
"Now, there's something to watch."
"Well, that's what I said, but if I let these two guys fight each other in the base, I'm afraid my newly built Marine Branch will have to be rebuilt."
Just as Tsugikuni Yoshiichiro uttered a sigh, Borsalino in the square had already taken action.
His observation Haki detected that Barrett was not dead, and he quickly captured Barrett's position in the thick smoke and dust.
Borsalino crossed his hands, and golden light shot out directly from his fingertips.
Yasakani no Magatama!
The legendary outlining skill had a clear and definite target at this moment. Countless light spots flew towards the same position in the smoke and dust like an automatically guided machine gun.
Intensive explosions sounded from the other side of the wall. The already thick smoke and dust became several levels higher at this moment, completely obscuring everyone's vision.
"Swish!!!" However, at this moment, a sound of breaking through the air was heard, and a black shadow quickly jumped out from the smoke and dust, and quickly came in front of Borsalino. The huge fist was surrounded by powerful domineering aura, and it smashed directly towards Borsalino's head.
The figure that flew out from the smoke and dust was Barrett who was kicked away by Borsalino.
At this time, Barrett's clothes were full of holes. Through the holes, you could see the burned and slightly red skin, and trickles of blood were flowing from the wounds, but the amount of bleeding from these wounds was not much.
When Borsalino attacked, Barrett used Armament Haki to protect his body.
Borsalino's attack worked, but not completely.
Although it did not cause any fatal injuries to Barrett, the pain from the wound made Barrett very ferocious.
As Barrett's fist whistled, Borsalino's figure turned into golden light and disappeared on the spot.
When Borsalino appeared again, he was already behind Barrett. Borsalino showed a half-smile on his face, and quickly raised his right index finger, pointing at Barrett's vest.
The next moment, a laser shot out directly from Borsalino's fingertips and hit Barrett.
"boom!!!"
The laser bombarded Barrett, but instead of penetrating him directly as others imagined, it caused a violent explosion.
The flames shot up into the sky, directly illuminating the entire square.
Borsalino's figure also flashed and flew out of the explosion range.
Looking at the masterpiece he created, Borsalino curled the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing an obscene smile.
"Bang!!!"
However.
Borsalino's smile did not last for a second. A black shadow flew out from the explosion, and with a copy of the "Thunder Plow Hot Knife", its thick forearm hit Borsalino in the face.
"ju——" After a whistling sound, Borsalino's figure turned into a golden light and disappeared from the spot in an instant, directly crashing into the distant wall, and there was no movement.
Barrett fell back to the ground and looked at the direction where Borsalino flew out, revealing a hideous smile.
There was a bloody hole about two or three centimeters deep on his vest, with blood flowing out of it. Feeling the pain in his back, Barrett's smile faded and he walked towards Borsalino.
Until now, Barrett still hasn't forgotten his purpose.
He came just to take Roger away!
And now, he wants to know Roger's whereabouts.
"The timely elementalization reduced the damage caused by the opponent."
"The application of the fruit's ability is truly outstanding!"
"That Kuzan guy seems a little immature compared to this guy."
"Borsalino, you are indeed a man who will become a navy admiral in the future."
Ji Guoyuan put his hands on the railing, looked in the direction where Borsalino flew out, and said softly.
While he was speaking, Borsalino, who was blasted into the wall by Barrett, quickly stood up, walked out of the hole in the wall, and reappeared in everyone's sight.
Compared to the future Admiral Kizaru who was kicked off the line for a long time by Xiao Ma Ge, the current Borsalino seems to be working much harder when fighting against the enemy.
Jiguo Yuanyi didn't know what Borsalino's mentality was right now. In fact, he worked so hard for a purpose.
Barrett wants to capture Borsalino and ask him about Roger's whereabouts.
Borsalino also wanted to catch Barrett and find out from Barrett what the relationship between Tsugakuni Yoshiichi and Roger was.
Borsalino has never forgotten the task assigned by General Zhan Guo.
"Um?!"
Looking at Barrett approaching him, Borsalino touched his nose and wiped away some of the blood. When thinking about his purpose, Borsalino suddenly remembered something and looked towards the direction of the Navy dormitory.
His eyes quickly caught the figure of Yuichiro Tsugikoku who was standing on the top floor watching the show.
"Did you notice that?"
"In that case, it would be rude to continue watching without helping."
Sensing Borsalino's gaze, Ji Guoyuan jumped lightly and stepped directly on the railing. Then he tilted his upper body downward and fell rapidly towards the ground.
“Bang!!”
In mid-air, Ji Guoyuan casually took off the scabbard. The moment he landed, Ji Guoyuan kicked the ground with his feet, suddenly changed direction, and flew directly towards Barrett.
"call out!!!!"
A terrifying sonic whistle came from behind him. Barrett turned around quickly and saw a red-haired boy suddenly approaching him.
In the blink of an eye, Tsugikoshi Yoshiichirō had arrived in front of Barrett, and the long sword in his hand slashed directly towards Barrett's neck.
"It's you!"
Barrett turned around and let out a low cry. He wrapped his left arm with powerful Armament Haki and subconsciously raised it to block.
Thunder roared, and the red blade slashed down quickly.
In an instant, blood splattered, and Tsugokuni Yoshiichi's long sword directly penetrated Barrett's arm. After advancing several centimeters, the momentum of the slash weakened and it was stuck directly in the center of Barrett's arm bone.
Seeing this scene, Ji Guoyuan's expression froze slightly.
He suddenly understood why Kozuki Oden was able to take Roger's God's attack with his chest and avoid death; and why Luffy was able to take Gai's Thunder Bagua with his head.
The reason is very simple, because the strong ones are not only strong in attack, but also in defense!
