Lord of the Stars of the Grand Line

What's more, countless boulders are constantly falling and crashing down on the island, making matters even worse!

Almost instantly, Beehive Island was split in two, completely divided in two!

That's not all. The half that split off was the most severely affected. Most of the impact from the clash between Luo Feng and Barrett was released onto that half of the island.

After separating from the main body of Beehive Island, the other half of the island could no longer float safely on the sea, and a terrifying tremor comparable to a magnitude 10 earthquake occurred in an instant!

Separated from the main body, this half of Beehive Island, without the support of seabed plates, is essentially a rootless peninsula!

After losing the support of the seabed plate, the impact that had previously surged down and penetrated into the island was instantly unleashed, causing a terrifying earthquake to occur on this half-island floating in the sea!

In an instant, this half of the island was completely shattered, becoming pieces of rock that were swallowed up by the surging waves, carrying countless pirate corpses, and sank completely into the sea...

"Captain! Captain!"

"Are you alright? Are you okay?"

"Hold on, Captain, I'm coming to heal you!"

Just then, a noisy sound came from the other half of the undamaged main body of the Beehive Island, it was Godfall and his gang!

They had witnessed the entire battle, but the commotion was too terrifying. When Luo Feng and Barrett unleashed their final attack, Crocodile quickly transformed into his elemental form, taking his crew with him and fleeing the scene of the conflict.

After seeing Luo Feng blasted away, they rushed back and, using their Observation Haki, finally detected their captain's extremely weak aura...

"No need yet. This battle is not completely over. How can I accept treatment?"

Seeing his anxious and worried companions rushing over, Luo Fengqiang smiled and then slowly shook his head, signaling Luo to stop.

At this moment, he was exhausted and didn't even want to move a finger. He lay sprawled on an open ground, staring at the dark sky.

Feeling his strength and energy completely depleted, Luo Feng gave a bitter laugh to himself, thinking, "I really shouldn't have been so reckless; I almost messed things up..."

The power consumption of awakening a Devil Fruit is terrifying, especially when one's stamina is already almost depleted. Forcing oneself to use the newly awakened Devil Fruit power and unleashing several attacks in a row is something only he could pull off.

Luo Feng said he almost killed himself!

"Ah...this..."

Upon hearing this, Luo stopped what he was doing and frowned slightly.

Logically, he couldn't disobey the captain's orders, but seeing the trickle of blood still oozing from Luo Feng's lips, he was worried, fearing that Luo Feng might have suffered some hidden injury.

"Forget it, Traman, let's listen to the captain. He has his reasons."

Just then, Zoro stepped forward, patted Law on the shoulder, and gestured to him.

Zoro clearly understood Luo Feng's feelings at that moment, because he himself was a similar person and would make the same choice as Luo Feng in this situation.

　群0中　苍“好吧。五九8灵8七转4三三8”

Upon hearing this, Luo nodded helplessly, then sat down to the side, standing not far from Luo Feng, ready to help him at any time.

"Hehe, no need to look like that, I'm fine, nothing's wrong."

Seeing the worry on the girls' faces, Luo Feng smiled slyly. Ignoring his own injuries, he forcefully reached out and grabbed the girls' small hands in his own...

He's reached the point where he can barely move his fingers, but in front of a group of girls, he can still do such outrageous (shameless) things. No wonder he's such a pervert!

Most importantly, Robin, Vivi, and Nami were one thing, since they were already his women, but under these circumstances, Luo Feng shamelessly dragged Nochiko and Violet over as well...

Violet was fine, very generous. Anyway, she had been taken advantage of by this old lecher long before Dressrosa.

On the contrary, Nochigo, the beautiful cook, blushed and seemed flustered and at a loss, but in the end she did not resist...

There's nothing we can do; the injured are the ones in charge!

Even Nami, who is always annoyed by Luo Feng's lecherous behavior, only glared at him subtly and didn't say anything more.

For the girls, Luo Feng's safety was truly their top priority.

It's just a cheap deal, right? Go ahead and take advantage! We can settle the score later if necessary!

'Crackling sound'

Just then, a loud noise came from not far away, which made the group of Godfall instantly tense up and turn around to look!

"It's that guy's scent."

What Crocodile 143 was referring to was, of course, Barrett.

At the same time, the five combatants immediately entered combat mode, ready to take action at any moment!

Sure enough, after a few minutes, the sound grew louder and louder. Finally, from a pile of rocks in the distance, a large hand suddenly broke through a crack in the rocks and grabbed a rock!

The next moment, Barrett's familiar figure crawled out from underground and reappeared in front of everyone!

"Hahahaha, Luo Feng, you're still alive? What, do you want me to finish you off myself?"

Barrett was covered in blood, his hair completely soaked, looking like he had just returned from hell. He stared at Luo Feng lying on the ground with icy eyes.

Immediately, the Godfall crew all walked up to Luo Feng. The sand on Crocodile's body began to swirl around the Divine Ship. Zoro's three swords were already drawn, and Bartolomeo crossed his arms, ready to release a barrier at any moment to protect Luo Feng!

Although they all knew perfectly well that they were no match for the person who could fight their captain to this extent.

But that didn't deter them; they couldn't let Barrett attack their captain at this time!

"Alright, don't be so nervous, come back."

Just then, Luo Feng's somewhat weak voice came from behind.

"Barrett, just let it fall. Nobody's laughing at you. Stop pretending to be cool. Aren't you tired?"

Chapter 322 The Post-War Tranquility

Luo Feng's words stunned everyone present, including his own partner and even Barrett.

At this moment, Luo Feng was still lying on that open ground. He didn't even glance at Barrett, let alone sit up. His eyes were fixed on the sky, looking at the faintly visible stars, as if his attention was not on Barrett at all.

"What, still putting on airs? If you really want to kill me now, go ahead and try. I'll lie here and let you kill me without fighting back."

"But in your current state, even getting here would be a struggle for you, wouldn't it? Hahaha..."

Luo Feng still didn't look at the other person, but his laughter was quite frivolous, with a teasing tone, which made Barrett's face immediately darken.

After a long pause, Barrett asked in a deep voice, "I underestimated you. You were able to see through my current state. So, now that you've figured it out, aren't you going to send them to kill me?"

Upon hearing this, Crocodile and his group of Godfall finally realized what was happening and breathed a sigh of relief.

No wonder Luo Feng was so calm and collected. It turns out that Barrett is no better off than his own captain. They're both at their last gasp and just stubbornly holding on!

Indeed, this is true. Barrett's current situation is similar to Luo Feng's, or even worse.

The reason he forced himself to crawl out of the pile of rubble was simple: if he had remained trapped underground, he might have been crushed to death before he could recover his strength!

These are all boulders. How big is a bullet? If it's pressing down on an exhausted and severely injured person, and they don't try to get out, what's the difference between that and waiting to die?

In life-or-death situations, people can unleash extra potential. It was this mental strength that enabled Barrett to clear away the pile of rocks and reappear before everyone.

But that doesn't mean he has much energy left. He's already at his limit. Just like Luo Feng said, at this point, he might not even be able to get to their side. He'd probably be lying on the ground before he could take two steps...

To put it bluntly, Barrett's actions just now were merely a deliberate attempt to intimidate him. Given his current condition, any one of the five combatants from the Godfall group could easily subdue him.

That's why he deliberately put on this arrogant posture, trying to intimidate the other party.

However, how could such a petty trick possibly fool Luo Feng...?

The two fought for nearly a day and were well aware of each other's abilities. Moreover, Luo Feng possessed extraordinary perception and was able to guess Barrett's thoughts from the very beginning.

"If I wanted to kill you, why would I wait until now? My ship's doctor can treat me anytime. Is it that difficult to kill you?"

"Besides, what kind of person do you take me, Luo Feng, for?"

"This is a battle between the two of us, and I hope it will start and end fairly."

"Alright, I'm not going to waste my breath on you. Do whatever you want, just don't bother me!"

Luo Feng waved his hand impatiently, then ignored Barrett. He extended his index finger and gently touched the star-studded sky. A faint ray of starlight, almost imperceptible, fell silently from the horizon, enveloping him...

"Hahaha... What an unpredictable and unlikable brat!"

"It's a promise, so don't regret it. Just one last reminder: my regenerative abilities are unlike anyone else's. Once I've fully recovered, I'll still kill you!"

Barrett remained defiant, wiping the blood from his face and uttering a few more harsh words.

However, Luo Feng ignored him this time. Seeing this, Barrett finally relaxed his tense nerves. The sudden relaxation made him weak all over, and extreme fatigue immediately struck him. He collapsed on the spot!

Hearing their conversation, Crocodile showed no surprise and led his men to step back, no longer blocking their path.

The others did the same, returning to their original positions, except for Cyrus, who had only recently boarded the ship, and was completely bewildered.

"First mate, are you sure you don't want to make a move now? That guy himself said that once he recovers, he'll cause trouble for you again."

Upon hearing this, Crocodile's expression turned strange. He couldn't believe which idiot would ask such a question. Shouldn't he give him a good beating?

Crocodile turned around and realized it was Cyrus who had asked the question. His expression softened. He was a newcomer, after all; he didn't know him well enough to be forgiven…

"Hehehe, don't worry, Cyrus, you'll see soon enough that on this starry night, no one's recovery ability can rival that of the captain!"

Upon hearing this, Cyrus seemed to understand but not quite. He scratched his head sheepishly, gave an awkward smile, and said no more.

And so, Beehive Island, which had been 'lively' all day, fell silent for a time, with everyone resting in place and recovering the energy they had expended during the day.

Of the hundreds or even thousands of pirates who originally landed on the island, only the Godfall crew and Barrett remain. To say that less than one-tenth survives would be an understatement...

So many people died that even Beehive Island was reduced to half its original size. The remaining half, along with most of the corpses and blood, sank into the boundless sea, becoming food for the sea fish.

At this moment, Beehive Island was eerily silent. The only sound was the distant waves crashing against the shore; nothing else could be heard.

It was as if nothing had happened, a stark contrast to the terrible battle that had followed.

Twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and everyone was still recovering.

There was no way around it; the daytime exertion was simply too great. Not only Barrett and Luo Feng, but the entire Shenyun crew was also nearly exhausted. You have to understand, they were the ones who dealt with those hundreds or even thousands of pirates!

Among them were hundreds of great pirates and more than ten supreme leaders. Even the five combatants were exhausted.

But just as everyone was calming their breathing, a pair of eyes suddenly opened, gleaming with a cold light, and looked at Barrett not far away...

'Da da da...'

On Beehive Island, a series of footsteps, neither hurried nor slow, rang in everyone's ears.

As pirates on the high seas, they are extremely vigilant. Even when they are exhausted, they remain alert and will not put themselves in danger.

Upon hearing the sudden footsteps, all members of the Godfall group, including the major combatants, opened their eyes immediately.

However, upon seeing that figure, the group breathed a sigh of relief, completely put their minds at ease, and resumed their rest.
