Chapter 600

Barret no longer spoke further to Crocodile.

His gaze had already fixed on the young figure a kilometer away.

"Just a lowly pest…"

"Just lie down nicely for me!"

"This level of battle is not something a creature like you has the right to witness."

"Fall down!"

Barret grinned savagely, his eyes cold and indifferent as he looked upon a mere insect.

Before resuming the unfinished battle with Crocodile from years ago,

he would eliminate every pest around him!

To avoid interference or distraction from these pests.

Then,

he would fight Crocodile without restraint!

Settle victory or defeat!

Decide life or death!

He would crush and shatter Crocodile, this formidable foe, with overwhelming, unstoppable force.

He would not allow any pest to witness this battle.

In his view…

Pests, as mere insects, had no right to watch such a battle.

Not everyone possessed the qualifications to witness his duel with Crocodile.

Among them,

was the young figure now standing over a thousand meters away.

Meanwhile,

the moment Barret's voice fell silent,

in an instant,

he moved.

"Conqueror's Haki—activate!"

Barret was a wielder of Conqueror's Haki, possessing extraordinary innate talent, a prodigy among millions with the potential of a king.

Long ago,

the very moment he joined Luo Jie's pirate crew,

he had already awakened Conqueror's Haki.

Otherwise,

he would never have been called a monster by Luo Jie's crew!

Even as a child, he had awakened Conqueror's Haki, and within a brief time, fully mastered it, able to wield it freely.

Now,

many years had passed.

Barret's mastery of Conqueror's Haki had naturally reached the pinnacle of perfection.

In addition,

the sheer strength of his Conqueror's Haki had reached a terrifyingly fearsome realm.

At this very moment, with a single thought, an unparalleled, earth-shattering Conqueror's Haki erupted violently from Barret's body.

Like a storm-tossed wave…

a surging, immense power burst forth from within Barret.

Like a volcano long pent-up,

at this moment,

it erupted in full glory!

Boom—

Conqueror's Haki, vast as the sky and earth, carried the might to destroy heaven and earth.

Radiating outward from Barret's body as the epicenter, it spread rapidly in all directions.

Spreading inch by inch,

engulfing the entire battlefield!

Faintly,

this earth-shattering Conqueror's Haki formed a dark blue aura, swiftly taking the shape of a semicircle as it surged toward all sides…

Crushing all resistance,

destroying heaven and earth!

Charging with an extremely terrifying, piercing momentum.

Simultaneously,

it sent dust and soil flying wildly.

Smoke and dust rose in swirling tendrils,

sand and gravel swirling about.

Clearly visible,

the strength of this Conqueror's Haki was extraordinarily high!

It is not something someone who has merely awakened Conqueror's Haki can forcibly resist.

And standing beside Barret, the first to feel this Conqueror's Haki was Crocodile.

His expression subtly changed.

"This Conqueror's Haki…"

"Is so terrifying!"

"Barret is indeed an extremely dangerous monster."

Crocodile's heart was filled with wariness.

In an instant,

From Barret's body as the center, a Conqueror's Haki aura like a dark-blue domain surged outward, engulfing a thousand meters.

Wherever it passed…

All living things suffered a terrifying shock.

The weak were instantly crushed and knocked unconscious.

The extremely powerful and terrifying Conqueror's Haki was about to strike the young figure a thousand meters away.

At this moment,

In the region a thousand meters away,

He saw only—

Lu En slowly lifted his head.

He calmly gazed at Barret a thousand meters away.

Barret returned his gaze.

Thus,

Their eyes met.

Lu En couldn't help but laugh.

"Looks like…"

"I'm being treated as a mere minnow?"

"Interesting!"

His laughter grew louder.

He could keenly sense

A peerless, terrifying aura of pressure sweeping toward him at terrifying speed, intent on tearing his body apart and shattering his consciousness.

Undoubtedly,

He was certain.
