Chapter 203

Attacks unfolded from eight directions.

Even with the Red Earl's unparalleled Observation Haki, he now felt at a loss on how to proceed.

Because the eight attackers' strikes were calculated to seal off every possible escape route.

With no retreat left, the Red Earl could only endure the assault head-on.

And with his aging life force, how long could he possibly endure?

From the very start, this battle was a death sentence for the Red Earl.

Barrett also saw the Red Earl's desperate situation, and his expression turned rather grim.

It wasn't worry for the Red Earl, but rather seeing Luo Xing send all his powerful subordinates to besiege the Red Earl while facing him alone.

Barrett took this as an insult!

"Kid, you're very confident in your strength..."

Barrett spoke in a chilling tone:

"I warned you before, I'm even stronger than back then!"

Luo Xing's face showed no trace of fluctuation; he said calmly:

"Such nonsense need not be spoken again. My time is tight, so please hurry up and die, Mr. Barrett."

As he spoke, he had already raised Yama high and brought it down.

"Purgatory · Asura!"

A black sword wave dozens of meters in size slashed toward Barrett at an unimaginable speed.

This was an attack infused with Conqueror's Haki, moving at peak speed; even Observation Haki that can foresee the future could not dodge it!

Barrett's pupils contracted violently.

He hadn't expected Luo Xing to unleash such a major move right from the start, as if truly intending to kill him as quickly as possible.

Damn it, how dare you underestimate me like this!

Barrett was furious beyond measure.

Arrogant as he was, nothing was less tolerable to him than being looked down upon!

"Break it for me!"

Barrett roared wildly, his arms covered in surging Armament Haki, fiercely clamping down on Luo Xing's incoming black sword wave.

Barrett's physique was monster-level; his strength was immense, and his Haki and other aspects had almost no weaknesses.

Yet he still underestimated Luo Xing's Conqueror's Haki-infused sword technique.

The first time Luo Xing used this move, he actually wounded Golden Lion, and back then his strength was far inferior to what it is now.

Barrett was forced to retreat step by step under the black sword wave, veins bulging on his forehead, clearly exerting every ounce of his strength.

"No good; strength and Haki alone cannot block this. I must use the Fusion Fruit's ability."

Barrett felt deeply humiliated; he couldn't even break this sword wave with his bare hands, and his wild roar just now was like slapping his own face.

With inner fury, Barrett activated the Fusion Fruit's power, immediately drawing the ground beneath his feet and a warship on the nearby sea surface toward him, fusing them into a mechanical giant.

Finally, the black sword wave was completely blocked.

But before he could even catch his breath, he heard Luo Xing's calm voice again:

"Purgatory · King of Hell!"

Clang!

It was a black sword wave ten times larger than the previous one, fully hundreds of meters in size!

Barrett was truly shocked in his heart.

Has that fellow's fusion of sword technique and Conqueror's Haki reached such a terrifying level of mastery?!

Boom!

This time, Barrett had no time to defend; he was struck head-on and blasted away.

The fused mechanical giant shattered; Barrett spat blood, a diagonal scar appeared on his chest, and he rolled onto the ground.

"Cough... cough... spew!"

Barrett spat blood once more, clearly heavily injured.

He struggled to rise from the ground, his face now at its most grim.

175. Lei Li's Unbelievable Feat: Barrett Fused with the Entire Impel Down, a Super Colossus!

Barrett hadn't expected Luo Xing to truly disregard him, unleashing a top-tier move like Conqueror's Haki infusion right from the start.

And each move stronger than the last; barely having exchanged blows, he was already heavily wounded.

Barrett couldn't help but recall the scene from when he challenged Pirate King Luo Jie back then.

Luo Jie was not a Devil Fruit user either; his main cultivation was Haki and sword techniques.

The Luo Jie of those days, just like Luo Xing just now, casually unleashed several sword slashes and easily defeated him.

"Damn it, am I still not as good as Luo Jie!"

"No, impossible! I haven't stopped training for decades; my strength is clearly greater!"

"I am the being standing at the world's peak!"

Bathed in blood, Barrett suddenly erupted with a ghostly mist-like aura all over his body.

His eyes turned crimson, and his entire skin became blood-red.

Gulu-gulu-gulu~~

The ground began to tremble and shake unstably.

The sea surface also began to churn violently, raising massive waves.

Luo Xing frowned slightly, vaguely guessing what Barrett intended to do.

Barrett is a Devil Fruit user of the Merge-Merge Fruit, and he has developed the fruit to its awakened state, allowing him to merge an entire island into himself.

And the size of Impel Down is roughly equivalent to that of an island.

Barrett clearly intends to merge and assimilate the entire Impel Down, transforming into the towering colossus from the "Crazy Action"!

Luo Xing glanced over at Red Count.

Red Count is, after all, elderly, and has not yet eaten the Bat-Bat Fruit, Model: Mythical Zoan; facing the siege of the Eight Great Powers, he soon began to falter.

He would be defeated within a minute or two.

Luo Xing then produced several Shanrenyi Gates and said to the over thousand subordinates he had just subdued behind him:

"Enter one by one. Upon reaching Sabaody, kill both Marines and pirates, but do not disturb the commoners at will."

In fact, there are hardly any commoners in Sabaody to begin with.

It is the mandatory passage for pirates heading to the New World, and also a place where the Celestial Dragons frequently commit atrocities; which commoner wanting to live would insist on residing there?

Except for ordinary elderly men like Silvers Rayleigh.

On the Sabaody Archipelago, there are mostly various bases, taverns, casinos, and so on established by the kings of the underworld.

Such as the slave auction house formerly affiliated with Donquixote Doflamingo.

Since Luo Xing intends to seize Sabaody, he naturally must eliminate all the spies of these factions.

The legion composed of over a thousand criminals has their lives and property entirely in Luo Xing's hands.

Moreover, they had just witnessed Luo Xing killing the World Breaker, Bondy Waldo, with a single sword strike, and severely wounding the Devil's Heir, Barrett, with two strikes; he was overwhelmingly powerful.

They already held Luo Xing in utmost awe and reverence; how would they dare disobey? They obediently walked into the Shanrenyi Gates.

Then.

They were shocked.

Opposite the Shanrenyi Gate was actually the magnificent Sabaody Archipelago!

It was as if they had instantly traveled from hell to paradise!

The criminals felt not only awe but also deep respect, admiration, and worship for Luo Xing!

My Lord Luo Xing, who could invent such a gate capable of instantly crossing spatial distances, is simply a god-like man!

On the Sabaody Archipelago, Silvers Rayleigh and his companion Shakky were also shocked.

The two of them had originally planned to leave Sabaody.

But they suddenly discovered several gates appearing out of nowhere on the ground, from which surged forth individuals with fierce, terrifying, and hideous appearances.

These individuals were also wearing prison uniforms; they seemed to all be criminals from the great prison, Impel Down.

Rayleigh could not help but widen his eyes.

The underwater great prison, Impel Down, known as an impregnable fortress of copper walls and iron gates, how could so many criminals escape all at once?

But immediately after, he suddenly understood.
