One Piece: Trying 200 times harder, but being too overbearing.

In previous communications, Loya had no intention of asking him to take action; limiting Doflamingo here would be the greatest help he could offer.

That kid has a lot of bad habits, but he has a clear understanding of himself and is good at using his environment to his advantage. If he really reaches a dead end, he will never be stubborn.

That's what it should be.

However, the situation is terrible!

Its domineering aura contains a strong will.

By sensing the domineering aura of a target, one can roughly judge the target's mental state.

Zefa could sense that Loya and his two companions were completely outmatched; this powerful enemy was beyond their capabilities.

But what he couldn't understand was why Loya was fighting so desperately, and even Smoker and Tina were burning themselves out in the battle.

If the three of them retreat, they should be able to escape from the enemy!

"Loya, Smoker, Tina"

Zefa closed his eyes and silently recited his disciple's name in his heart.

People who grow up in a warm environment cannot transform themselves. These veterans have overcome countless adversities to achieve what they have today.

"Once you get through this, the future will be in your hands!"

-

Thunder Island, the center of the battlefield.

Loya, Smoker, Tina.

The three lay on the ground covered in blood, struggling to even get up. If it weren't for the invisible barrier protecting them, they would have already lost their lives.

In his fully enchanted state, Vergo reached his peak in both strength and defense, completely overwhelming them.

Impeccable!

Barto stood in front of the three, his fingers interlaced to form a bowl-shaped barrier to protect them. He was so frightened by the approaching monster, Vergo, that he almost burst into tears.

"Boss Loya, get up!"

"Vergo is coming!"

Although the barrier is invincible, he is not capable of dealing with the monsters in front of him. His abilities are focused on defense, and attack is not his forte.

Moreover, after joining the navy, his knowledge increased rapidly, and he gradually realized that his abilities had many weaknesses, making him only suitable for dealing with some reckless fools.

Clearly, this enemy is not stupid.

"Barto, give me a little more time."

Loya rolled over and lay sprawled on the ground, panting heavily, trying to calm Barto down.

"Don't be afraid, you're our ace!"

"trump card?!"

Barto's eyes lit up, and he instantly felt confident that he had succeeded. That's right, the barrier was invincible. Even if the opponent was a monster, it would be impossible for them to harm those inside the barrier.

Barto looked at Vergo and grinned wildly: "Hehehe, with me, the super ace, you won't be able to kill the boss!"

"."

Vergo's face was covered in blood, and his breathing became increasingly rapid. He had exhausted a lot of energy in the fight and had also suffered serious injuries. The three kids were much more difficult to deal with than he had expected.

In particular, Loya had mastered the internal destruction of Haki, and every blow he received could injure him. Seventy percent of the injuries on his body were caused by Loya.

Loya's Haki and its raw, internal destructive power are insufficient to defeat him. Whether it's the strength of his Haki or his mastery of it, he is superior to Loya.

But this only made him more terrified. Loya's growth rate was too fast. If he couldn't kill Loya this time, the next time they met, that kid might really surpass him!

Looking at the glass-like object in front of him, Vergo gripped the bamboo stick with both hands, then placed it behind his back to gather strength.

Barto's eyes widened instantly!

"Oh no, that's the move!"

That's exactly what happened to Boss Loya and the others – they were blasted away by that attack!

"Ghost Bamboo!"

The bamboo sticks pounded violently against the barrier!

"Bang!!!"

A powerful shockwave spread outwards along the barrier!

When the smoke cleared, the barrier was completely intact, and the four people hiding inside were unharmed.

Barto immediately felt relieved and laughed loudly: "Hehehe, it's useless, it's useless! My barrier is invincible!"

"."

Vergo's gaze darkened.

what happened?

He had just applied a powerful aura to the bamboo stick, but it didn't shatter the barrier or penetrate it to harm the inside.

Barto looked smug. He didn't really understand the nature of his barrier, but so far there had been no attacks that broke through it.

According to Boss Loya's speculation, his barrier is not simply a defensive material, but more likely has the ability to isolate all attacks.

"Gulu gulu~~"

The sound of someone drinking water came from behind me.

Loya had already gotten up and poured a bottle of nutrient solution into his mouth to replenish his strength. The effect was very limited, but it was still of some use.

"Barto, open a door for me!"

"Eh?"

Barto paused, staring at the three men who had stood up behind him. He swallowed hard. Were these three guys immortal?!

"But."

"It's okay, we can't win if we stay inside the barrier."

Loya stared intently at Vergo.

Barto's barrier has a fatal weakness: the ground!

Given Vergo's combat experience, it was only a matter of time before he realized this, as his opponent also possessed the power to destroy the earth.

Even if the barrier is transformed into a sphere, it's still just a tortoise shell. They are recovering their strength, and Vergo is also recovering his strength.

Barto's ability to buy them a brief respite has been crucial; the real battle is about to begin.

"Barto, the defense is yours!"

"But boss, I can't even see that guy's movements clearly!"

Barto was anxious.

He also tried to attack Vergo, but his eyesight couldn't keep up at all. Even if the other party stopped moving, he could avoid his barrier attack in advance by using his Observation Haki.

"trust yourself!"

Loya took a deep breath.

“After fighting for so long, Vergo is also very exhausted. That guy’s movements are much slower than at the beginning. Observe carefully, your barrier should be able to block his attacks. You are our ace!”

"Ace, I'm the ace!"

Barto spews smoke from his nostrils.

As soon as the fingers parted, the barrier opened into two doors.

"Let's go, boss!"

Loya looked at his companions on either side: "Smoker, Tina, were you able to do what I asked you to do earlier?"

"Of course I can do this little thing. Who do you think we are!"

Smoker and Tina were panting heavily. In their current physical condition, they even had difficulty standing, let alone fighting Vergo. However, they could still provide support from the rear.

"Let's go, this is the final battle, let's take down Vergo!"

Loya resolutely stepped out of the barrier and stood before Vergo.

Vergo calmly said, "If you hide inside that rooster-headed man's ability, you might be able to survive."

"That's a real pity. I didn't come to this island to survive. I came here to kill you."

Loya took a deep breath, extending his will to every part of his body—his heart, lungs, muscles, blood, and all his organs were working at an accelerated pace!

"Life Returns - Martial Arts Ignite the Body!"

Drain all the strength from your body!

"Moonstep!"

Loya used Moonwalk to fly into the air and roared at Vergo below!

"Virgo!"

"Have you lost your mind, choosing to engage me in aerial combat? In terms of the Six Styles, I am far superior to you."
