"Dang Dang Dang"

Where the two people's attacks met, black and red thunder exploded, setting off circles of circular air waves that surged and flew in all directions.

The ground cracked, countless gravels were crushed into powder by Qi Jin, and the entire Impel Down City seemed to be shaking due to the battle between the two.

Esdeath and Barrett refused to give in to each other, each blow they exchanged contained the will to kill the other, and both of their faces showed excitement.

"This fighting maniac actually found the same guy." Kuang San curled his lips disdainfully.

"Esdeath seems to have become stronger again." Erza compared herself.

After cleaning the battlefield, the other members all stood outside the battle circle to fight.

Esdeath swung her sword in the air, and the snow-white slashing wave cut through the space and flew toward Barrett's face.

In the midst of lightning and flint, even though Barrett didn't have much time to react, he still tilted his head and dodged, and the slashing wave streaked across Barrett's hard-as-iron cheeks.

A blood line quickly appeared, and blood flowed out, but in an instant it formed ice crystals and hung on the face.

Barrett didn't care about the injury on his face, and immediately launched a counterattack. He used his left fist to hold the ice blade that Esdeath had slashed, and immediately used his right fist to strike Esdeath's lower body.

Esdeath kicked out her left foot and faced Barrett's right fist. However, with one leg supporting the ground, she was unable to resist and flew backwards quickly. Barrett kicked off the ground and chased after her.

"White Ice Crushing Thorn!"

Esdeath, who was flying upside down, focused his gaze, and the ice flowers in the air gathered in an instant, condensing into hundreds of sharp ice spears out of thin air.

As soon as these spears were condensed and formed, they shot out like arrows from the string, with a whistling sound of tearing the air, and stabbed Barrett who was catching up.

"Swish swish"

There was no unnecessary air wave at all, and all the power and domineering energy were concentrated on the tip of the spear, calm and deadly.

Barrett turned a blind eye to the threat in front of him and allowed the ice spears to continuously bombard his body. In the end, the ice spears completely shattered, but Barrett was also slowed down by the ice spears.

Esdeath turned around in a semi-air-conditioned position, bent her knees to accumulate strength the moment her feet touched the wall, then straightened her legs suddenly, and rushed into Barrett's arms with the help of the rebound force, holding the Western sword blade tightly.

Hit him hard on the chest.

A flash of blood appeared, and Barrett flew out in response.

Barrett got up again and looked down at the knife wound on his chest. The clear and intense pain made him feel an indescribable excitement, and the blood in his body gradually began to boil again.

"Very good, that's what makes it interesting!" Barrett grinned, the excitement on his face uncontrollable.

Defeating the strong is of great significance to Barrett, and the stronger the enemy, the more significant the victory will be.

Barrett's desire to fight continued to soar, and the momentum emanating from the inside became stronger.

"Bang"

Barrett kicked the ground suddenly, and the speed with which he unleashed all his strength was beyond imagination, and he seemed to disappear in the eyes of many spectators at the scene.

Barrett instantly rushed in front of Esdeath, turning into a huge dark blue fist that penetrated the space and hit Esdeath's face.

This punch used all Barrett's strength!

Both strength and speed perfectly demonstrated Barrett's top physical strength. The terrifying wind of the fist blew on Esdeath's face first, causing her long blue hair to fly back.

"Well done!"

Esdeath never thought of avoiding Barrett's sharp edge. Red thunder flashed in her pupils, and she slashed at the attacking Barrett with her sword.

Attack against attack!

The snow-shadow-like blade was wrapped in red-white lightning arcs and tore through the surrounding air, heading straight for Barrett's strongest punch.

"boom--"

The fists and knives collided in the air, and the space suddenly became distorted. The domineering energy released by each other clashed fiercely in the distorted space, and then burst out black and red thunder arcs, shooting straight into the sky!

"Boom boom boom"

Countless lightning arcs struck the ceiling of the sixth underground floor, countless large and small rocks fell from above, and a wide crack suddenly appeared on the ceiling.

Out of everyone's sight, cracks appeared on all the floors from the first floor above the sea to the fifth underground floor of Impel Down City, and the surging clouds in the sky also had an irreparable crack.

"Chi"

A blood arrow shot out from Barrett's fist, and the dark blue domineering energy condensed like armor could not prevent Esdeath's slashing attack.

Noticing this scene, Barrett's pupils shrank slightly, which meant that he could not match Esdeath in terms of domineering strength, but the gap was not obvious.

Barrett grinned and retracted his fist, then swung it out again. He continued to fight with Esdeath, and the tiny wounds on his fist gradually increased.

In the original work, Barrett used countless weapons, houses and hundreds of sailing ships that could sail in the new world as materials to create a behemoth that could overlook everyone on the island.

It is estimated that only the awakened Fusion Fruit can achieve such a feat.

Moreover, coupled with the amount of armed Haki that can cover the whole body... at least Luffy alone cannot defeat Barrett, unless cheating.

He is currently unable to fully utilize the power of the Fusion Fruit in the City of Advancement. To be able to build such a huge prison in the windless zone densely populated by Neptunes, the outer walls of the prison must have been filled with sea tower stones containing a small amount of PYROBROIN.

The attack and defense between the two continued. Barrett threw a punch at Esdeath. Esdeath took it calmly and stabbed Barrett in the heart with his backhand.

Barrett took advantage of the broken steps to retreat, raised his hand to block the Western sword, but the blade left a blood mark on the back of his hand. Barrett, who didn't care, used his other hand to smash Esdeath.

Esdeath moved sideways, out of the way of Barrett's punch, and struck down with his sword.

Barrett used both fists to gradually gain the upper hand in the offensive aspect. Although Esdeath could leave scars on Barrett's body, without exception, these minor injuries could not effectively defeat the opponent.

Esdeath used a flaw, and the piercing Western sword was swung away by Barrett, causing her front door to open wide.

Barrett, who created an offensive opportunity, concentrated all his power and dominance on his right fist.

As a physical expert, you don't need any fancy moves in battle. What you need is the skill of mobilizing your whole body's strength to deliver the strongest blow to the enemy in the blink of an eye.

The fist carrying all the strength of his body went straight to Esdeath's chest. This punch was solid, and Barrett was confident that she would fall to the ground!

Because of the brim of the hat, Barrett couldn't see Esdeath's eyes from a bird's eye view, but he could see the upturned corners of her mouth.

‘Not good…!’ With his combat intuition, Barrett’s heart trembled.

The ten fingers faced each other, and a faint blue light lit up between Esdeath's palms: "Mokobotemo!"

A faint blue light instantly enveloped everyone present, and Barrett's fist-pumping movements gradually slowed down until they stopped.

At this moment, the long river of time is cut out.

Esdeath let out a low sigh and stabbed Barrett's heart with the sword.

The entire blue world regained its color, and everything around it began to move. There was nothing in front of Barrett's fist.

Barrett's eyes moved down, just in time to see the top of Esdeath's head, and he asked slowly: "What did you just... do?"

"Stop time, that's all."

"Pfft!"

The heart ruptured and blood poured into the esophagus. Barrett could not help but cough up a large mouthful of blood, and then the blood continued to flow from the corners of his mouth.

"It's over." Frost began to condense where the sword blade pierced, but Barrett could no longer feel the cold.

"You...won." The evil ghost successor who had gone through countless battles finally lowered his head.

"I know you will not admit defeat or surrender." Esdeath said calmly: "So, death is your destination."

"Black Eyes!"

"Here we come!" Black Eyes prepared to finish the attack before Barrett died, and she raised the eighth room.

"Haha..." Barrett didn't care whether his corpse would be driven by others, and laughed at himself: "I can still fight after death. There is nothing happier than this."

Black Eyed raised the knife with his hand and chopped off Barrett's frozen heart. Lime Jones fell to the ground.

"It's finally over." Kuang San curled his lips and said, "Esdeath, it's already past twelve o'clock."

"There are still more than two hours left for the public execution, so we can make it in time."

"The war between the Navy Headquarters and Whitebeard has begun."

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!" Esdeath walked away after experiencing a fierce battle.

"Wait a minute."

…

The time returned to 12 o'clock at noon, and there were still three hours left before the public execution.

Ace was kneeling on the execution platform, with the dark navy below him. Due to the Dawn Pirates, there were only more than 60,000 elites gathered in the navy headquarters at the moment.

Countless people are sitting in front of the TV, waiting for this war that will affect the world structure.

"There are only three hours left, and Whitebeard hasn't appeared yet..."

"Do you think Whitebeard will come? Even if he is Whitebeard, he is still quite old now..."

"I haven't heard anything about him in years."

"If Whitebeard hadn't come, would the Navy have put up such a big showdown?"

Similar controversies are playing out around the world.

Thirty warships surrounded Marinevando, and the bay was covered with countless heavy artillery.
