Chapter 785: Terrifying Barrett (2)
"Run, run fast!"
Watching Lillard being beaten half-dead by a single punch, "Dragonfly" Pierce's fear completely spread throughout his body, nearly scaring him witless.
After that, he no longer cared about the Pirate Alliance Army.
Nor did he care about his Pirate Crew's Crewmate.
He didn't even care about the treasure on the ship that caused him immense heartache.
Such a Monster was definitely not someone he could deal with.
If he stayed any longer, he would lose his life.
"How can there be such a Monster?"
Noticing Barrett's gaze turn towards him, Pierce knew he would become the Monster's next target.
His heart instantly leaped into his throat.
Run, that was the only thought in his mind now.
Pierce leaped up towards the Sky, and at the same time, his body rapidly changed.
Soon, Pierce completed his Complete Beastification, transforming into a giant dragonfly tens of meters long, an Ancient Dragonfly.
Two pairs of giant wings, thin as cicada wings yet hard as steel.
Ferocious fangs capable of tearing apart everything.
These were the means Pierce had always been proud of.
But at this moment, they couldn't give him any confidence in combat.
His wings flapped violently up and down.
The giant dragonfly Pierce transformed into rapidly ascended into the Sky like a jet plane.
"Escape? Where can you run to?"
Facing a prey trying to escape, how could Barrett easily let him go?
Stopping him was a very easy thing for Barrett.
His absolute speed meant he could quickly appear before Pierce after punching Lillard away.
Before him, Pierce actually didn't even have the chance to complete his transformation.
However, he didn't do that.
He wanted to end this battle in the most shocking way.
That single punch wasn't enough; the visual impact force was insufficient.
So he allowed Pierce to transform, giving him some time.
In reality, Pierce's actions were always within his expectations.
Beforehand, he had learned about Pierce's intelligence and naturally knew his ability.
Since it was meant to deter the various Factions on Great Sea,
Perhaps there would be opportunities to interact with them in the future.
"Just take this opportunity for this Old Man to say hello to you all," Barrett said with a somewhat excited smile.
Seeing himself getting further and further from the ground, before he could even sigh in relief,
A massive shadow covered him.
Turning to look, Pierce's pupil suddenly contracted.
What kind of giant beast was this?
A massive body exceeding a hundred meters, its appearance was like a gorilla, but its face grew terrifying tusks.
Dark golden fur, extremely developed forearms, and ferocious and sharp giant claws.
Behemoth!
King of Land Battle!
A mythical creature possessing the legend of tearing apart giant dragons appears in the World!
That terrifying gaze like a Demon now carried an incomparably dominance and ferocity.
Pierce realized that this massive creature was what that Monster transformed into just now!
But what use was that?
Terrifying giant claws descended from top to bottom.
Pierce simply couldn't avoid them.
Even with Armament Haki covering his entire body,
It was rendered useless before the claws.
His two pairs of thin wings were easily torn apart, and immediately after, Pierce's body was pierced by the claws.
At this moment, in the hands of the giant beast, he was like a toy.
The massive body descended from the Sky.
Barrett powerfully swung his hand and threw Pierce flying onto the Ice Surface.
With his wings torn and his body pierced through, although still alive, Pierce had no power to resist whatsoever.
If he hadn't held back, that claw wouldn't have been aimed at Pierce's body, but rather his head.
This wasn't a difficult thing for Barrett.
And Barrett's body returned to human form during the descent.
He even deliberately used Moonwalk to reduce the impact force of the descent.
If he hadn't done that, the terrifying impact force would have been enough to completely destroy the Ice Surface created by Esdeath.
Barrett landed steadily on the ground.
At the same time, the giant dragonfly crashed onto the Ice Surface.
Pierce had lost combatant strength and automatically exited the Complete Beastification.
The battle ended.
However, the entire World was silent!
Shock, incomparable shock.
They didn't know what words could describe their feelings at this moment.
Looking at that supremely dominance figure, inadvertently, countless people felt fear arise in their hearts.
Especially in the New World, those Pirates who understood the strength of Lillard and Pierce, their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
They hadn't expected the outcome of this war to be like this.
All of this ended too quickly.
From Barrett's appearance, releasing Conqueror's Haki, resolving Lillard with one punch, then transforming into a terrifying giant beast, leaping hundreds of meters high, and destroying Pierce with one claw.
This series of actions actually took less than half a minute.
Perhaps only a dozen seconds.
A Great Pirate with a bounty of 600 million Beli, a Monster that shook Great Sea.
Before this mysterious Shogun of the Kronos Kingdom, they simply had no power to resist whatsoever.
As weak as a toy.
Instant kill, still an instant kill!
On Great Sea, how many are capable of doing this?
Even those Factions who knew of the terrifying strength of the Kronos Kingdom were still shocked.
Because Barrett was not among those Monsters in their impression.
He was undoubtedly a hidden combatant of the Kronos Kingdom.
It was actually expected that the Kronos Kingdom had hidden combatants.
But, he was too strong!
Especially those true Strongmans could even more clearly see the terror of Barrett.
Not to mention combat skills, solely based on pure speed and strength and Three-Color Haki, he was impeccable.
Furthermore, Barrett's age was very clearly very young!
Although it wasn't clear exactly what Barrett's ability was, it could also be guessed that it was a top-tier Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit.
Even if there was still a gap in combatant strength compared to the gold medalists at the peak of Great Sea, with the advantage of age, it wouldn't take long before it would be bridged.
In other words, this was a future peak combatant strength of Great Sea.
As for those ignorant people who harbored the thought that they would take the opportunity to plunder after the Pirate Alliance Army succeeded, cold sweat poured down, and they completely abandoned this idea.
They certainly didn't want to die.
