In One Piece With The Barrier Fruit

Bullet looked at Basire who was a bit shorter than him, but there was no smile on his face because he didn't have much energy left.

He had squandered all the energy and Haki he had regained from eating so much in the past two days.

Originally, with the stock of Armament Haki in his peak period, he could cover a giant monster of over a thousand meters, but now he can't even cover one of three hundred meters.

"Basire, this is my final blow!"

Bullet also knew that he could not defeat him now, but in order to save a little bit of reputation, he planned to squander his last strength at once and use his strongest blow.

"I originally wanted to have a decisive battle with you, but I didn't expect it to end like this."

Basire said a little disappointed, thinking that Bullet could give him a little pressure and help him hone his barrier fruit ability.

But unfortunately, the opponent was about to fall before he even exerted any force.

"Hmph! When I recover, I will have a good fight with you!"

'Ultimate Faust!'

Bullet snorted coldly, used all the armament haki to cover the giant arm, and punched Basire's barrier giant with all his strength.

"Then let's end today like this!"

Basire also controlled the huge barrier Susanoo, swung his right fist out at a high speed and sent a punch.

Boom~!

The two people's charged fists erupted with ear-piercing explosions, and the huge concussive sound waves spread in circles. The entire island was collapsing, and the Ark Maxim and Groseade were once again shaken back by the strong wind and sound waves that spread hundreds of meters.

The two were in a tight stalemate for several seconds before Bullet's large golem form began to fall apart. The mechanic arm disintegrated under the attack of Basire's barrier arm and its pieces fell to the ground.

Bullet rushed out from among the broken golem and jumped onto the torn island. He was breathing heavily, but his eyes on Basire became more and more determined.

Before becoming the strongest in the world, first he needs to defeat Basire!

"If you don't have any energy left, would you like me to give you a ride?"

Basire exited the barrier Susanoo form, jumped down next to Bullet, and said something casually, while the island was rapidly collapsing and slowly sinking into the sea.

"Let them sail down to pick us up, and I will teach you the original demon body-building method!"

Even if Bullet is completely out of strength now, he doesn't want to be carried back by Basire. This is the dignity that belongs to a strong man.

"All right."

Basire looked at Bullet, smiled and said, he waved his hand to the Ark Maxim so they would come down quickly to pick them up.

Before the island sank completely, Bullet jumped on the Ark Maxim which almost landed on the sea.

The battle officially ended, and everyone returned to Hachinosu.

After Bullet handed over the demon body-building method to Basire, he continued to eat a lot to restore his body's strength.

The Red Count knew that he could not defeat Basire right now, so he was too lazy to fight him. Instead, he urged Basire to set off quickly to find the vampire fruit.

He could no longer bear his decaying body.

He is about the same age as Whitebeard, but he was imprisoned in Impel Down for more than twenty years, always in a state of hunger, and never had enough food, so his body declined quickly.

After all, he is a pure physical fighter, and seastone has little power over him.

Not only did the guarda in Impel Down not give him enough food to prevent him from restoring his strength, they even tortured him to keep him in a weak state. What's worse, they would even poison him once in a while just to make sure he couldn't recover.

Bullet is a devil fruit user, so he has almost no chance of breaking free after they placed seastone on his hands, feet and neck. So the guards at Impel Down weren't as strict and violent with him as they were with Redfield.

For the past 21 years, Bullet has been able to barely maintain his training in Impel Down. Now he just needs to recover his physical strength and all those years of training will show their results.

Basire obtained Bullet's demon body-building method and couldn't wait to start studying it. Now he can already infuse his attacks with conqueror's haki, and his observation haki has also reached the level of foreseeing the future.

For his armament haki he has only practiced Wano's emission technique.

Armament haki emission is just a sophisticated technique. It is a clever way to release the armament haki.

Seeing Bullet's tsunami-like armament haki spreading out, Basire knew that his training was not at all complete yet.

Bullet's use of armament haki is already more terrifying than the third stage of conqueror's haki. Wherever the armament haki tsunami hits, even the rocks are crushed.

The first stage of conqueror's haki is just awakening and cannot be controlled at will. It usually shocks everyone indiscriminately.

The second stage is to stun certain weak people in a targeted manner.

The third stage is that it can affect matter, not only stunning the weak, but also cracking the earth and walls.

The fourth stage is to force Logia users to exit elementalization, and the scope of influence is enough to cover an island.

For example, Red-haired Shanks can shock Admiral Greenbull who's on the island out of elementalization from the coast. Garp can also prevent Aokiji from elementalizing.

The fifth stage is actually Conqueror's infusion, which greatly enhances one's attack power and is also great at suppressing devil fruit users.

Most of the time, a fight between someone who can use conqueror's haki infusion against someone who can't is just a matter of one move.

That's why the deterrent power of Yonkōs is so high.

Of course, conqueror's infusion doesn't make someone invincible. Armament haki and devil fruits that have been trained to their peak can also allow someone to compete against those people.

There is no much distinction between those powers. Their strength always depends of their users.

Conqueror haki users appear and disappear all the time. And it is not uncommon for a devil fruit user to kill a master of armament haki in some strange way.

Basire studied Bullet's demon body-building method. This guy is really talented. In order to become stronger, he dares to try anything. He actually thought of fusing his armament haki into his muscles. This is really crazy.

If you are not careful, your muscles will melt in minutes. Normally, armament haki only wraps around the skin for a reason.

Basire now feels that the theories of forging bones, strengthening muscles, and toughening skin are all feasible.

Because now he has seen the snake lord's black bones, Bullet's haki infused muscles, and the normal use of skin hardening.

Basire felt that his attainments in armament haki would soon reach an earth-shaking level.

In the future, he will not only train conqueror's haki to the peak, but also develop all his four devil fruit abilities to awakening.

This is the only way for him to fight against the thousand-year-old Immortal.
