One Piece: Adopting Akainu at the beginning, adopted son Barrett

Chapter 52: Fly higher as a "ghost"!

"Half-time..."

Barrett stood on a platform that was half the size of the previous one, breathing heavily, and watched quietly as the sea king opposite ate its reward.

Is this guy raised by Ross? Humans can actually raise such a terrifying creature. This thing is even more terrifying than ordinary guns and cannons!
The feeling I had just now was that if I were hit by that guy's tail, I would definitely die!
Barrett's eyes were sharp, and for the first time in a long time, his whole body began to boil with blood, just like when he faced a dozen armed soldiers alone!
He wants to kill it!

"Roar!"

On the other side, the sea king who swallowed the last bit of flesh and blood looked at Barrett.

Although it was inexplicably caught in this place and couldn't get out, and was inexplicably hungry for a day and a night, it seems that as long as it wins this little piece of jerky, it will be able to get food!
Sea kings have no intelligence, so this made him look at Barrett even more ferociously, his mind full of desire for food.

"Roar!"

With a loud roar, he turned and dived into the sea, lurking beneath the water, waiting for his chance.

Not far away, Barrett realized that the rest time was over and another round of fighting would begin!

Looking around, the black shadows gradually surrounded the platform. Barrett calmly observed his surroundings, trying to find the direction of the sea king's attack from the surrounding shadows.

A hunter who has failed once will only become more cautious.

And the prey will also become more cautious!

This is a consciousness that comes from biological instinct, so at this moment both sides are looking for each other's flaws.

Pfft!
it's here!
Hearing the sound of water coming out, Barrett looked back, but all he saw was the tail of a fish serving as bait.

not good!

He quickly turned sideways, and a tiger head with its bloody mouth wide open dangerously pounced past him. The goddess of luck once again favored Barrett.

This time the sea king was unable to turn around and fight back. Its head and tail were both in the water, and the middle of its body was stuck on the platform, trying to leave.

But how could Barrett, who got the chance, give it this chance?

"boom!"

"Click——"

Barrett punched with all his strength and hit the opponent's belly, and a clearly audible sound of a broken bone was heard.

But unfortunately, it was his own hand bones that were broken!
"Roar--"

A low roar of pain came from underwater.

The sea king was not feeling well either. Although he was not knocked away, his gastric juice was churning inside his body. The flesh and blood he had just eaten even rushed straight to his throat. Combined with his current posture, he almost vomited.

Sweat broke out on Barrett's forehead.

No, I can’t fight at all!

The punch he threw with all his strength only caused partial damage to the opponent, while he had lost a body part to fight back.

He can indeed attack with his elbows, legs, feet, knees, etc., but how many times can he hit?
The pain of broken bones was not enough to shake Barrett. What shook him was his own pitiful strength!

"Why do birds fly? Because they have to!"

Barrett thought back to what Ross had said earlier.

At this moment, he is like a bird that cannot fly. In order to deal with strong enemies, he must fly higher and become stronger!

In a trance, Barrett seemed to feel that some changes had taken place in his body.

In the past, he wanted to become stronger and stronger in order to survive! But he was trapped in the midst of gunfire and could not even get enough basic nutrition every day.

Now, he still wants to become stronger and stronger in order to survive!

The difference is that he has seen the wonders of the outside world and the vastness of the ocean. Even a sea beast is enough to take his life easily!
This is not something that can be brought about by running through hail of bullets, but the most primitive wildness that comes only from the fight between wild beasts!
The desire for power is rising in an instant!
His faith became stronger, his determination to become stronger burned fiercely, and the food he swallowed yesterday was quickly digested and converted into the energy Barrett's body needed! In an instant, he could no longer feel the pain of broken bones, but instead felt a powerful force spread throughout his body.

He was different! Very different!
"Next, let's start the second round!"

The tiger-headed sea king is lurking in the sea again. It can feel that its prey has become stronger, but it cannot escape and can only fight it to the death!

Barrett's calm face finally showed a smile, a crazy smile, his eyes became as scary as a "ghost", and his whole body exuded a completely different temperament than before.

If the Barrett used to be only as fierce and cold as a Boy Scout.

Then at this moment he is a crazy and aggressive beast!
"Roar!"

The tiger-headed sea king roared and rushed out of the sea. Its huge body was exposed in front of Barrett. It lowered its head and looked at Barrett coldly.

The hunting games are over, now it's time to fight!
"boom!"

In an instant, the tiger's head fell down, and Barrett held up the huge tiger's head with both hands. The platform under his feet was shaking, and the force of the collision between the two caused the solid white cloud to shake.

"Oh!"

The huge fish tail swung towards Barrett at an incredible angle.

Squint your eyes, then exert force!
"Boom!"

The enormous force pushed the entire head of the sea king down to the left, and the attacking fish tail hit its own owner hard!

"Roar!"

The sea king quickly retracted its body and roared to the sky. The sea surface was turbulent under its roar, and its ferocity completely took over.

I saw it diving into the water and constantly spinning its snake-like body, and a huge whirlpool formed under the platform.

Barrett could only see a black shadow surging like a ring. The huge noise from the vortex interfered with his judgment, and he could not predict the other party's next move at all.

"Whoosh-"

The fish tail suddenly emerged from the whirlpool and appeared in front of Barrett in an instant.

To die!

Barrett, who has entered this state, is extremely sensitive to his surroundings. The whip-like fish tail, which gathers huge kinetic energy, contains unimaginable power.

I can't stop it! My body can't react at all!
A revolving lantern appeared before my eyes, and a brief sound was reviewed in an instant.

Just when Barrett thought he was going to die, a familiar white cloud enveloped his entire body.

"boom----"

Home run!
Barrett in the cloud ball felt convulsed, and the discomfort suddenly accelerated throughout his body. If the food had not been completely digested, he might have vomited all over himself!
When he opened his eyes again, Barrett had already arrived in the sky. At this moment, Ross looked at him coldly without saying a word.

He wanted to say sorry that his mission had failed.

But he still didn't have the strength to speak, his "ghost"-like posture quietly retreated, and the feeling of hunger instantly surged throughout his body.

As expected, he fainted from hunger.

Outside, Ross's originally cold expression became gentle again. He looked at Barrett with self-blame and took him back to Cloud Island quietly.

He would not regret doing this, he just hoped that he could face the new Barrett in his true appearance as soon as possible.
