Brand, who was inside the armor, was extremely shocked by what happened in front of him.
The red spearhead he stabbed with all his strength was actually blocked by a layer of black on the surface of his temple. Apart from the sound of the clash of gold and steel, he could no longer make any progress.
"What is this?!"
Barrett, who was attacked, turned a blind eye to Brand behind him. Instead, he raised his right fist in front of him and looked at it carefully, mumbling to himself thoughtfully.
"It's unmistakable. Although it's not very obvious, the strength of that woman's punch just now did penetrate my domineering and superficial skin."
This discovery reminded Barrett of the inner-breaking skills of Armed Color Haki.
So does this ability come from the opponent himself, or is it another special ability of the Teigu?
He suddenly regretted that he had struck too hard just now.
If he had known better, he would have withdrawn some of his strength and tried to save the other party's life. Moreover, he quite admired a blond woman like Leonai who had good strength and explosive personality.
"But with her kind of injury, it should... eh?"
But when Barrett's eyes turned to Leonai in the distance again, he was surprised to find that his opponent's right arm had returned to its original state, except that a silver-gray boxing armor was missing.
Looking at her rapidly rosy complexion and her slow movements to get up, it was obvious that her internal injuries had almost recovered.
"It's a bit like the awakening of animal-type ability users, but they don't have the ability to regenerate severed limbs. Maybe it's some kind of physical ability similar to restoring life?"
Barrett secretly guessed.
This return of life can allow people to regenerate their severed limbs, which was personally confirmed by Garp about half a year ago.
Immediately afterwards, Zefa, who also had extremely high attainments in physical skills, became the second Starfish person to master this ability, and Barrett was the third.
That's why I subconsciously thought that Leonai regenerated his right arm in this way.
But what Barrett didn't know was that Leonai's level of physical skills, although he could control nails, hair, blood vessels, etc., was far from what he thought.
Instead, he made use of the secret technique of the Teigu 'The Lion King', 'The Lion is Eternal'.
Its effect is to greatly enhance the self-healing ability of the Teigu user's body after activation. Whether the eyes are poked out, the limbs are cut off, or the internal organs are severely damaged, as long as the person still has breath, he can heal himself in a short time.
Recover quickly within.
Even if the Teigu user loses consciousness due to serious injuries, it will automatically activate to save its master.
how to say?
You have to admit that this Teigu is indeed a good thing, especially for those who are strong in physical skills. It can be regarded as an extra life.
at the same time.
Brand's reaction was also very quick. Although he was very shocked, he still retreated immediately, preparing to hide again, and then find a way to take Leonai and leave.
He has completely realized that he cannot defeat Barrett at all!
But Barrett didn't give Brand this chance. Even though the 'evil haunting' had become transparent, he still quickly turned around and waved his broad palm in the direction of no one.
【boom!】
The extreme brute force turned the entire air into a raging wind and swept the invisible Brand into it, causing him to fall to the ground a hundred meters away involuntarily.
Barrett keenly noticed traces of a depression appearing out of thin air in that place, which then disappeared in an instant and then appeared above Brand.
The next second.
Barrett slammed Brand, who was still invisible, under his feet.
"Ahhhhh"
With a downward force, Brand was forced into unbearable pain. He had to scream and reveal his true body. At the same time, he clasped his big feet with both hands and tried desperately to push them away.
open.
It's obviously impossible to do it just with his own strength.
"Sure enough, although you can become invisible and hide your aura, your true body is still there. Your biggest mistake is that you shouldn't be so close to me~~"
Barrett looked at Brand struggling crazily at his feet and sneered.
"Asshole, let me go, General!!"
At this moment, Leonai, who had fully recovered, rushed forward again.
It's just that her punching power this time, without the magical power of the 'Smashing King', seemed much weaker than before.
【boom!】
Barrett just casually raised his right hand to block it, and then tightly clasped the golden-haired lion's fist with his five fingers, which made Leonai's face change greatly.
Because she found that she couldn't take back her fist at all.
"Hahahaha, that's it. Your ability to penetrate with fist power comes from your previous fist armor. The things in your world are really more interesting than the last!"
Barrett looked at Leonai in front of him and laughed: "But you are such a strong woman. Be my woman, and I will make you ten times stronger than you are now!"
"Ahhhh, dreaming!"
Leonai was absolutely furious. She didn't expect that she would be teased by the other party. What made her most angry was that she couldn't break free from the other party's hand and then punched him hard.
But what she didn't know was that Barrett really fell in love with her, and this was the first time he said such a thing to a woman.
But considering that Barrett is now twenty-four years old, it seems not surprising. He is not asexual or gay.
The current situation on the battlefield is very interesting.
Although the previous wave of overbearing domineering power shocked many people for a while, when they reacted they started fighting crazily again.
It's just that both sides are consciously avoiding the 500-meter radius where Barrett is.
So besides the three of them, there were only tens of thousands of imperial soldiers lying on the ground in a dense mass of fainted bodies, as well as various dangerous species such as giant crabs, giant eagles, flaming rabbits, and fire dragons.
Although it was said to be a fight, in fact, after Ghost Spider and other lieutenant generals and major generals joined the battle, it looked more like a massacre on one side.
The empire's lieutenant generals and major generals who had to come out to fight had suffered a large number of casualties in less than ten minutes.
There is no way, who makes them not talented enough to master Haki as smoothly as Leonai?
certainly.
In fact, even if they mastered Haki, they would not be able to compete with the Ghost Spiders and the others. Unless they had a powerful enough Teigu, coupled with suitable ministerial equipment, they might be able to compete with the major generals of the World Government like Leonai.
"ah"
While Barrett and Leonai were 'chatting', Brand, who had been stepped on by the former, gradually found that breathing was not as uncomfortable as before.
His Teigu 'Demon Haunting' purified itself in order to adapt to Barrett's foot pressure!
But Brand still couldn't get away.
In desperation, he had no choice but to remove his helmet, and then controlled his hair to turn into sharp black thorns and attack Barrett's face.
This is the only thing he can try now.
"snort!"
"You actually reminded me to send you on your way?"
Barrett's eyes burst with murderous intent, and the force on his feet suddenly exploded several times, directly crushing Brand's chest under the armor.
"Uhhhhhh!"
Brand let out a shrill scream, and the 'black thorns' that were less than three centimeters away from Barrett's face instantly softened and turned back into normal hair, drooping down.
Judging from the fact that there was no damage to the surface of the armor, Barrett specifically used the authentic technique of "Armed Color Internal Destruction" in order to preserve the "Evil Haunting" Imperial Equipment.
"General!!!"
Leonai looked at Brand's eyes in disbelief as his eyes started to diverge little by little.
[Crackling——————]
At this moment, a golden bolt of lightning pierced the sky and struck Barrett's huge body hard.
