Ten stars.

The highest in the world.

Neither strength nor power are comparable to the previous nine and a half stars.

Maud, who was promoted to ten stars, easily broke Barrett's domineeringness with just one knife.

The person who was most surprised was Maud himself.

He didn't expect that the domineering power of being promoted to ten stars would be so powerful.

You must know

Before taking away Charlotte Lingling's experience, his domineering aura could only suppress Barrett at most.

Instead of breaking the defense with just one knife like now.

It smells a bit crushing.

Maud retracted his knife and watched Barret retreat and stretched the distance.

As long as he wanted, he could approach Barrett in an instant, and then continue to swing his sword to attack Barrett.

But he didn't do that, but stood there and sighed.

This battle.

Maud didn't feel much pressure at all, so he hoped that Barrett and Charlotte Lingling could join forces, but unfortunately things went against their wishes.

Now that the domineering aura has been promoted to ten stars, there is no difficulty at all.

Maud suddenly lost interest in the battle.

In his opinion, Barrett now is nothing more than a bunch of experience that he can take away at any time.

The obvious combat intensity cannot allow him to transform the experience gains accumulated in the Hunter's Notes.

He had lost interest in this battle and was ready to end the battle directly, but before that...

"Barrett, I'll give you a chance at the end."

Maud slowly raised Qiu Shui and pointed at Barrett, whose arms were bleeding.

"Opportunity? What does it mean?"

Barrett forced his heart to shake and frowned at Mod, not understanding the meaning of the other party's words.

Mod looked calm and said calmly: "Give you a chance to show your strength, and I will end this battle directly after that."

“…!”

Barrett's face changed.

Immediately afterwards, an unspeakable anger emerged from the bottom of my heart.

Give the enemy a chance to show its strength to the fullest, and then directly deal with the enemy with overwhelming force.

This is what he has always done.

Especially during the period when he escaped from the Deep Sea Prison, he used this "fighting step" to kill countless people.

But he didn't expect...

One day, such a battle step will fall on oneself.

The anger that emerged from the bottom of his heart was revealed on Barrett's face.

He wanted to say something to Maud, but after looking down at his bloody arm, he said nothing after all.

This world is compared to fists, not mouths and voices.

It is because the fist is not hard enough that it is despised and humiliated...

The knife wounds and pain on the arm always reminded Barrett of a fact.

That is, in a head-on confrontation, his strength and skills are not as good as Maud.

And the domineering aura that could easily tear apart his defense just now emphasized this cruel reality.

Looking at countless battles in the past, he has never had one way to win, that is, to defeat the enemy head-on.

Now facing an opponent like Maud.

If he follows the previous fighting style, it will only make him fall faster.

"Give up speed and use the awakening ability of the fusion fruit..."

With just a few breaths, Barrett's thoughts turned and he quickly adjusted his mindset.

He would not mind any kind of contempt from Maud.

Because in his opinion, Maud is the strongest person in the world today and has the qualification to despise anyone in the world.

"Display strength...hahaha!!!"

Barrett thought about his previous behavior towards others. When he adjusted his mentality, he couldn't help but raise his head and laugh out loud, not worried that Mod would take advantage of the situation and take his life away.

Of course, Mod could not do such a thing, but looked at Barrett who suddenly burst out laughing.

After a moment.

Barrett slowly curled his laughter and asked, "Maud, how much do you know about my 'capacity'?"

“It’s roughly clear.”

Maud nodded and said calmly: "Your ability can integrate external things you touch with your own hands. To be more appropriate, it is a combination."

"You are right, but your ability after awakening..."

Barret stared at Maud and grinned: "Even if you don't touch it with your own hands, you can affect things outside the abilities on a larger scale. My abilities have been awakened. Just talking about the influence range is enough to cover the entire Shuixian Xingdao."

"oh?"

Mode raised his eyebrows slightly.

In his cognition, there are not many examples of the awakening of the superhuman ability.

And even if you awaken, the range of "influence" can be limited.

Take Doflamingo as an example. His awakened line fruit ability can only cover half of the town at most "assimilation ability".

And Barrett can actually cover the entire Shuixian Xingdao?

You should know that Shuixian Xingdao is a super large island, and among the tens of millions of islands in the world, it is one of the few.

"In other words, can you merge with the entire Shuixian Xingdao?"

Maud looked at Barrett, and a glimmer of light appeared in his eyes.

He finally looked forward to it.

“…”

Barrett was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then said in a silence: "How can that kind of thing be done?"

Mode was stunned for a moment, then a little disappointed.

Looking at Maud's disappointed reaction, Barrett's mouth twitched a few times.

But he finally understood.

Under normal circumstances, I am afraid I can't even help Mode entertain.

Although I was unwilling to accept it...

But he would not give up on the idea of ​​defeating Maud until the end.

"Let you see it well, my attitude of doing everything I can!!!"

Barrett ignored the knife wound on his arm and clenched his fists hard.

Without waiting for Mode to react, he tried his best to use the ability of the fusion fruit after awakening.

In an instant.

A crystal object flashing with purple light appeared under his feet, and in a blink of an eye it expanded, sweeping around like a surging wave.

Such a vast momentum and scale made Maud's eyes lit up.

This means that Barrett's devil fruit ability has reached an extremely high level.

It also means that if he takes Barrett's experience, he will likely be promoted to ten stars in one fell swoop.

The crystallized thing like a surging wave soon came to Maud.

Mode was unmoved and watched the surging wave of crystal objects.

However, the wave of crystal objects shining with purple light took the initiative to avoid Mo De and swept towards the distance.

"Is Barrett's ability..."

The Mod Pirates outside the battle circle and the Hawkeye who were fighting all noticed the wave of crystal objects coming from Barrett.

They keenly noticed that this wave of crystals was constantly expanding in the process of surging.
