Sea level.

Two warships side by side.

The sea train is sandwiched in the middle, connected by hook locks, and floats steadily on the sea.

Among them, civilians are landing on the refugee ship in an orderly manner with the help of the navy.

And the commanders of the two fleets, Zefa and Karp, were standing on the bow of the sea train, looking in the direction of the capital of the seven waters.

Among them, Karp's sleeves were rolled up, and the muscles that were exerting force were gradually soothing.

"Wow!"

Karp twisted his shoulders and grinned:

"Hahahaha, the old man lost it quite accurately!"

Uta's Goge Fruit does not currently have the ability to fly at high speeds over long distances.

So just now, the person who threw it vigorously with a sixteenth note was actually Karp.

"That 'Nicole Robin', in order to support the return to the capital of the seven waters, actually took the initiative to show up to seek help from the navy?"

Karp shielded the sun with his palms, narrowed his eyes and said:

"Do you think the old man will definitely help?"

"Or do those two imps think that they have to go back to the capital of the Seven Waters anyway?"

“……”

Listening to Karp's doubts, Zefa on the side grinned, and suddenly said:

"Or maybe they have become fearless because they have relied on something in their hearts?"

"Anyway, that's what it's all about!"

Karp raised an eyebrow, always feeling extra refreshed inside.

But on the other hand, when Karp and Zefa looked at the capital of the seven waters and saw the battle line spread by the two "monsters", their originally refreshing hearts unconsciously became turbid.

They overheard Barrett's conversation with Lindsay.

Thoughtfully.

"The desire to become perfect is the strongest, and the disgust is the strongest and perfect?"

Zefa pulled a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket and lit one for himself.

"Douglas Barrett, and, Aven Lindsay, there is a fundamental difference in what they are after!"

“……”

Karp rubbed his nose.

He recalls several encounters with the Roger Pirates many years ago, including a confrontation with Barrett.

"Heir of the Devil Douglas Barrett."

Karp said slowly:

"For this man, whether it is the navy or the pirates, there is basically a consensus-"

"He's a 'monster' chasing Roger's undead."

"Sacrificing his life to chase Roger's back, trying his best to overtake him, and finally becoming a blank shell!"

“……”

Karp said, and there was no sound for the time being.

Zefa waited for a moment, then asked:

"So, what about Aven Lindsay?"

In the next moment, whether it was Karp or Zefa, a layer of gloom couldn't help but appear on their faces.

Obviously, they all already have the answer in their hearts.

"[Demon] Aven Lindsay."

Caputh thought about it and finally shook his head.

"In the old man's opinion, what he is looking for is much more distorted than Barrett!"

"He doesn't have a goal, he's just simply 'moving forward'!"

Zefa couldn't help but nodded, "yes......"

Karp continued:

"Forever moving forward, there is no possibility of stopping!"

"He is like a lone traveler, facing the unknown storm ahead, step by step."

"I don't care about the bruises all over my body, but I forget the many pains along the way."

“……”

After a pause, Karp thought a lot, but finally had to admit:

"That's a path we would never want to take!"

"What kind of expression would Evan Lindsay have in the face of such a terrible journey?"

"What kind of 'monster' will such a terrible journey turn Aven Lindsay into?"

“……”

As he spoke, Aven Lindsay had briefly plundered some of the power of the three Devil Fruit Abilities, converging them into a giant fist.

He threw a punch and slammed it into the chest of the large bullet.

Rumble!

The large bullet shattered, and Barrett's body was shot down to the ground.

Seeing this scene, Zefamo rubbed his chin, and Karp couldn't help but hold his hands on his chest.

"Hmm-"

"Hmm-"

The two old friends tilted their heads and pulled out a slow, long note.

They struggled for a long time, and then laughed out loud in relief, and said helplessly:

"In short, the Warring States are worried!"

……

The capital of the seven waters, on the island.

The large bullet lost its body at the core, and the fruit power dissipated, gradually cracking and disintegrating.

Boom Boom Boom......

Large and small pieces fell, smashed on the ground, stirring up a thick cloud of smoke.

"Hmm......"

Uta manipulated the big hand of the piano keys and "swished" twice, pushing away the dust around him.

After doing all this, Uta's physical strength was once again squeezed to the limit, and he collapsed.

Not far from her, Nicole Robin and Crocodale were prostrate on the ground.

Although the two of them still have some physical strength left, there is not much left.

"Uta ......"

Robin reluctantly activated his Blossom Fruit ability and spawned several arms, lifting Uta's body and protecting him underneath him.

And Klockdahl, who was beside her, used all his strength to support his body with his arms.

"Tsk......"

Feeling the feeling of powerlessness, and recalling the situation when the fruit was out of control, Klockdahl gritted his teeth and said:

"What exactly did primitive man do!?"

Crocodall is well aware of [Demon's] ability to learn, and combined with him and Douglas Barrett, it is not difficult to come up with a conjecture.

"Phantom Beast Seed Fruit Ability Awakening?!"

The so-called "awakening" is a higher level of Devil Fruit's ability, and there are still many mysteries.

For example, Barrett's Superhuman Fusion Fruit can greatly affect the surrounding area after awakening, and then create a large bullet the size of half an island.

And the Devil Fruit Awakening of the animal system, in Klockdahl's intelligence, should be biased towards the improvement of "physical strength" and "resilience".

"Could it be that there will be a change in the phantom beast species?"

“……”

But whatever the answer, the feeling of the fruit being out of control was so terrifying that Klockdahl didn't want to experience it a second time!

Fortunately, when Klockdahl looked up at the front, he found that the primitive man at this time did not have the strength to "awaken" again.

Aven Lindsay's stamina is on the verge of limit!

"With the physical strength of the animal system, can you only awaken for a short time? Or is it because you haven't fully awakened? ”

Klockdahl fell into deep thought.

At the same time, the other side.

Another large, burly figure rose from the rubble and ran towards Evan Lindsey step by step.

It was Douglas Barrett!

It's the same as in Lindsay.

After a long battle, Barrett no longer has the physical strength to activate the Merge Fruit ability, let alone regather the large bullet.

At this point, whether it is Barrett or Lindsay, there is only one choice left for them -

Forward!

Keep moving forward!

"Hahahaha!"

Barrett grinned at the corners of his mouth and threw a punch at Lindsay in front of him.

Lindsay also raised his hand and punched to meet it.

The two fists collided together, and the air around them trembled.

It was a fist that had nothing to do with fruit ability, or even about domineering, but it was just as exciting!

That's pure power!

……

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble! Rumble......

The two threw punch after punch and slammed into each other.

The speed of these fists changes from slow to fast until they are invisible to the naked eye.

Pick out the afterimage!

But after a period of time, it changed from fast to slow, and began to gradually slow and heavy.

Physical strength bottomed out.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble......

With the wave of his fist, blood splattered out, staining their faces red.

Rumble!

"Hey, [Demon]!"

A heavy punch fell, and Barrett grinned and sneered:

"How long are we going to fight?"

Lindsay caught Barrett's punch with his face, spat out half a mouthful of blood, and grinned:

"I don't even know what's at the end of the sea, don't ask me!"
