Chapter 208 Why is the gap between people so big?

"That's about it."

There are many devil fruits in Impel Down, but only these few are powerful. Even if you get the rest, you can only store them in the warehouse.

Moreover, even if he is a Celestial Dragon, if he takes away all the devil fruits here in one go, it is obvious that there will be trouble afterwards.

Bai Mu used his Observation Haki to sense the appearance, size and strength of all the jailers, and turned into lightning, landing in front of Barrett's cell.

"The fusion fruit is good, but I appreciate your ability more."

"He's a soldier with a steadfast character. Ever since Roger fell seriously ill and surrendered himself, he's lost his reference point and has begun operating like a lone wolf."

"Not long after, he was arrested and imprisoned."

"But even in prison, with insufficient food, he still didn't give up and insisted on exercising every day while wearing seastone handcuffs."

"It's such a waste for a man like you to die in silence like this."

"Want to come with me?"

"You want me to be a dog?" Barrett sat up, looked up at the white screen, and sneered, "Do you think you are worthy?"

"Haha...that's too harsh. Didn't you also work as a crew member for Roger? Why can't you do the same for me?"

"You want to be my captain? Haha... Although you are an unprecedented multi-fruit ability user and have the strange ability to steal the fruit abilities of others, you are not worthy of being my captain."

"You think I can't beat you?"

"Haha... Isn't this a matter of course? How could a flower that has been raised in a greenhouse since childhood be my opponent?"

"In other words, as long as I can beat you, you will be willing to go with me?"

"I never said that! Don't misinterpret my words! I'm a pirate, how could I possibly be a subordinate of the Celestial Dragons?"

"Is my identity important? Whether I'm a Celestial Dragon on Mary Geoise or a beggar wandering the streets, what I have to do won't change at all."

"What bullshit are you talking about! If identity doesn't matter, why am I in there and you're out there?"

"Because you're not strong enough. If you could easily break the seastone handcuffs, if you could sink Impel Down Castle with a single punch while wearing them, I would be the one inside."

"Hahaha……"

Barrett laughed unscrupulously, his domineering aura emanating from all directions and rushing over all at once.

In response, Bai Mu also silently released the Conqueror's Haki, and while fighting against him, he tried to comprehend the essence of the Conqueror's Haki.

"So that's how it is. Conqueror's Haki is also an extension of one's own will, similar to sword intent, and belongs to another kind of technique."

"But to be honest, it's different. It's more like soul pressure."

"Everyone's innate physical and mental strength varies, and this is what is known as the Conqueror's Haki talent."

"Regardless of whether one's will is firm or not, the strength of one's mental strength determines the depth of one's domineering color."

"By combining will and mental strength, you can suppress the opponent mentally, rendering them unable to resist. In other words, it's a mental shock."

"However, people with strong mental strength often have stronger will and perseverance than others."

"There are no methods for cultivating spiritual power in this world. Only those who are born with strong spiritual power can master Conqueror's Haki and use it to cultivate spiritual power..."

Bai Mu closed his eyes slightly, and as he analyzed the Domineering Color in his mind, the impact force transformed from his mental power gradually pressed forward, causing Barrett to involuntarily take two steps back.

Feeling his Domineering Haki being pressed back into his body, making it difficult to release, Barrett dragged the seastone shackles on his limbs and struggled forward.

Since one end of the seastone chain is fixed to the wall, the wall will shake with every step forward.

Blood was flowing from his limbs, but he didn't care. He walked to the farthest point and stared at the white screen with his eyes:

"What is your purpose? What do you want me to do?"

"As for the short-term goal, let's become the strongest in the world first." Bai Mu put away his Conqueror's Haki and chuckled. "There are too many enemies on the road ahead, and there are countless battles to fight."

"If you're alone, there will always be times when you feel powerless, so come with me."

"You don't need to do anything else, just accompany me to fight."

"Fight, fight! Until your body can no longer move!"

"As long as there is breath left, keep fighting!"

I have clearly already decided to be alone, not to be with anyone, and to move forward courageously.

But at this moment, Barrett couldn't help but feel a long-lost passion in his heart.

These words are exactly what I have been thinking deep in my heart, and I didn't expect them to be said by others.

"Haha...! Well said! Fight! Fight! Until you can't move anymore! Unlock the chains, give me food, fill my stomach, and then have a good fight with me! If you win, from now on, until you lose to me, I'll obey you!"

"Okay. Magellan, remove his chains."

Magellan was full of hesitation. The other party obviously wanted to subdue Barrett, but was it possible?

Most pirates are treacherous and cunning, and he might take the opportunity to escape.

Furthermore, can they win? Even if they are unprecedented multi-fruit ability users, they are likely to lose due to their lack of combat experience.

"what are you waiting for?"

Bai Mu was slightly startled, and quickly reacted:

"Oh, I remember now. You are poisoned and it is not easy for you to come over. In that case, I will do it myself."

He took out a piece of gold from the storage space, cut it into several pieces, and then lightning burst out in his hand, melting it into a ball of liquid.

Gravity manipulation, flying into the door and the four shackle keys on Barrett's limbs at the same time.

He used his Observation Haki to penetrate into it, and at the same time, he manipulated the golden liquid to transform into five keys through the air.

With a gentle turn, the shackles were unlocked.

Then, Bai Mu took out ten roast ducks wrapped in oil paper from the storage space, and waved his hand to call the box of fruit over.

"This food should be enough, right?"

"enough."

A hint of surprise flashed in Barrett's eyes. He threw away the shackles, sat on the ground, held the roast duck in one hand and the fruit in the other, and began to eat with big mouthfuls.

"It's still hot. What kind of ability is this?"

"Well, the outside world has already developed a technology that allows objects to consume devil fruits. The user of the Castle Fruit can transform their body into a castle, storing a large amount of supplies. I use a similar principle."

"That's very convenient."

Barrett stopped talking and just ate as fast as he could.

After a few minutes, the food in front of me was cleared away.

He stood up slowly, digesting and absorbing the food he had eaten in an instant as his life returned.

The next second, his shriveled skin and muscles swelled up, and the aura emanating from his body became more powerful.

"Come on! Beat me!"

"it is good."

As soon as the words fell, the two rushed towards each other at the same time.

The black fists covered in the armament colors of both sides turned into countless afterimages and collided with each other. The wind from the fists caused the cells behind them to continuously collide, making loud noises.

The domineering color is wrapped around his arms, and every attack will cause a huge impact on the spirits of both parties.

There's no fighting technique involved, it's just a contest of strength and speed.

During the fight, a few black scales appeared on Bai Mu's body. The rubber properties absorbed Barrett's punch force while adding strength to his own fist.

The multiplier of the Momo Fruit's blessing continued to increase, ten times, twenty times, thirty times...

As he became more familiar with the abilities of many fruits, more insights came to his mind. Bai Mu swung his fists faster and stronger, and soon completely suppressed Barrett.

While blocking Barrett's fists, more fists landed on him, forcing his body to retreat continuously until he soon hit the wall.

"I see! I understand! The sword's spirit is also the fist's spirit, and the fist is the sword!"

With the help of sword power, the punch covered with black scales smashed the rock wall behind, and the huge force penetrated more than a dozen walls in one breath.

Noticing the numerous scars on Barrett's body and his red, swollen and weak hands, Bai Mu stopped at the right time.

"Let's stop here. It's really unfair for you not to be able to use the power of the fruit."

Barrett remained silent. Whenever he tried to use his fruit ability to absorb the rocks under his feet to form armor, he would be beaten back by the opponent's fist.

The opponent's body is like seastone. Although you won't lose strength the moment it comes into contact with it, you won't be able to use the power of the fruit at all.

But even so, losing is losing.

Ultimately, it’s because my body is not strong enough.

"What kind of ability is this? Did you use this ability to take away the fruit abilities of those people just now?"

"The Nature-type Dark-Dark Fruit is the nemesis of those with special abilities. Anyone touched by me will temporarily lose the ability of the fruit."

"No wonder I lost this time. From now on, when I'm sure I have a chance of winning, I will challenge you again, Captain."

"it is good."

He actually conquered Barrett!

Gion stared at the white screen, feeling confused for a moment.

The Dark-Dark Fruit, the Thunder Fruit, the Momo Fruit, and those black scales should be mythical beasts, and there may be more.

Such a monster is actually a celestial dragon of noble birth. Could it be that he saved the world in his previous life?

Why is the gap between people so big?

I have practiced very hard over the years and have never slacked off for a moment, but why can't I even beat a celestial dragon who is only 18 years old?

Is it because of the devil fruit ability?

But even if he can eat a lot of devil fruits, there is no way to cheat in the training of domineering and physical strength, right?

Before this, Gion had never looked down upon those above the Holy Land.

Even though she had heard that there were differences between the Celestial Dragons and that there were many powerful Celestial Dragons in the Holy Land, she had never taken it seriously.

If I had such a background, practiced since childhood, and ate a top-notch devil fruit, I would definitely not be worse than them.

But at this moment, I felt inexplicably confused and at a loss.

Chapter 209 The future will definitely not let you down

"Brother Mu, where are we going next?"

Seeing Baimu coming back, Tifa hurried to greet him.

"I haven't decided yet. In that case, let's discuss it together."

Bai Mu waved his right hand, and the tables and chairs in the corner of the deck moved over at the same time.

There are six chairs around a round table.

"Shinano, Tifa, Toki, Olvia, and Barret, please take a seat. We will have a meeting to discuss the location of the base camp."

Barrett, who had absolutely no interest in women, sat down across from the white curtain, picked up the drink handed to him by the maid, drank it all, and casually asked:

"What base camp? Compared to this, I want a training room, and I need someone to bring me food. I didn't have enough to eat in the cell before, so I couldn't practice to my heart's content."

"There's no rush for this. Let me first explain what I'm going to do next."

Bai Mu paused, then immediately expressed his previous thoughts:

"I've always felt that bounty hunters in this world are all scattered and there's no unified organization."

"Because the bounty is difficult to divide, large-scale operations are rare. They are usually carried out by a single person or a team of two or three people."

"Many people who just want to go out to sea for adventure have no choice but to become pirates after being wanted."

"Thus, the difference between pirates and pirates also arises."

"Some people become pirates for the adventure, while others become pirates to live a lawless life."

"Due to social trends, many people who initially just wanted to take risks were also contaminated by the sewage and gradually became villains who committed all kinds of evil."
