The Devil Fruit Ability Was Just Too Unfair

"Um?"

As if noticing something, Xi Yan, who was deep in thought, looked surprised and said, "This is... Bartolomeo?"

Xi Yan was somewhat surprised to see Bartolomeo emerge from the smoke and dust.

This guy wasn't killed by that last attack?

It seems that the barrier's defensive capabilities are greater than he imagined.

That's true. If he hadn't used his barrier to block the attack, this entire area would have been blasted away.

Hehe, that's a really interesting Devil Fruit ability.

"Unbelievable! Bartolomeo actually blocked King Elizabello II's attack!" The commentator exclaimed in shock, looking at the unharmed Bartolomeo. "How did he do that?"

That's an attack that can even breach a fortress!

How did he do that?

"Hehehe~"

Bartolomeo grinned and said, "I'm Barrier Man ate the Barrier Fruit, so... it's not surprising that I can block this kind of attack."

"Hateful..."

Elizabello, who was breathing heavily, looked extremely pale.

He was truly out of ideas.

"It seems you're not up to the task," Bartolomeo said slowly, raising a finger. "Then let me see you off!"

"Barrier Impact!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the massive barrier rushed towards Elizabello.

"Bump!"

With a single blow, he was sent flying backward, his Byakugan rolling back as he lost consciousness.

"I... King Elizabello II has been defeated!" the announcer shouted through gritted teeth. "Bartolomeo has won in Block B!"

"Damn it..."

Why did that bastard win?!

Why this bastard of all people?!

The host was extremely annoyed.

Unfortunately, no matter how unhappy he was, he couldn't change anything.

"Hehehehe~"

"Did you hear that? I'm the winner!" Bartolomeo laughed, looking around and saying, "You bastards, go to hell!"

"Hehehehe!"

Bartolomeo ignored the mocking remarks around him and laughed even harder.

Today, he must win the championship!

"I didn't expect this guy to win," Luffy said in surprise.

He thought the King who threw the heavy punch would be the winner, but it turned out to be this Barrier-Barrier Devil Fruit User.

"That's what makes Devil Fruit abilities so overpowered," Xi Yan said with a chuckle. "Without strong Haki, there's no way to defeat such abilities."

Luffy nodded in understanding.

Without Haki, it's indeed impossible to target Devil Fruit User.

Then, he darted over to Xi Yan's side, looked around, and said, "That uncle and Cabbage are gone, right?"

"Cabbage?"

Xi Yan was taken aback. What kind of strange nickname was this?

Are you referring to Cavendish?

"It's that guy with the sword from earlier," Luffy explained. "His hair looks like Cabbage."

Xi Yan:...

So, how exactly does Luffy, that bastard, remember people?

After shaking his head speechlessly, Xi Yan said, "They're not here anymore."

"Alright then," Luffy said with a sigh of relief.

He didn't want to continue being chased by those two guys.

Then, Luffy jumped out of the window and said, "Let's get out of here first."

Although he didn't know if those two people would come back to find him, leaving first was definitely the right thing to do.

Seeing that Luffy had said so, Xi Yan didn't say anything more, but just glanced at the arena outside and followed.

Soon, the two arrived at the entrance to the arena.

"It hurts so much..."

"Help me... help me!"

"My leg is broken!"

The surrounding wounded were screaming incessantly, each one sounding more agonizing than the last.

"Will they be able to get medical treatment?" Luffy asked curiously.

"I don't know about that," Xi Yan said, shaking his head.

Who Knows this place has any rules about providing medical treatment?

If they have [something], that's fine; if they don't... it's questionable whether these guys can even leave Dressrosa alive.

Just then, two staff members carried Bellamy on a stretcher from a distance, which immediately caught Luffy's attention.

"Bellamy?"

"It's you..."

Bellamy struggled to open his eyes upon hearing Luffy's voice, then asked, "Why... why are you cheering for me?"

Upon hearing this, the two staff members stopped in their tracks, clearly intending to let Bellamy finish speaking.

"Bellamy..."

"Answer me," Bellamy said, panting, "Why are you cheering for me?"

"This is so embarrassing..."

"I haven't changed at all..."

"No, you've changed, Bellamy," Luffy said.

He could see the change in the other person; otherwise, he wouldn't have said those things.

Bellamy's heart trembled violently upon hearing Luffy's words, and he was deeply shocked.

After a moment of silence, Bellamy suddenly laughed.

It was a smile of relief.

"You're the one who truly changed," Bellamy said. "Your domineering Haki far exceeded my expectations, making me feel utterly ashamed."

After saying that, Bellamy paused, then closed her eyes and said, "My pride is almost gone, Straw Hat."

"So..."

At this point, Bellamy seemed to want to say something, but in the end he shut his mouth and raised his hand to signal the staff to take him away.

This time, Luffy didn't say anything. He just looked up and watched the other person leave, seemingly lost in thought.

A moment later, he turned to look at Xi Yan and said, "Now it's my turn."

"It won't be that fast."

Listening to the host's voice, Xi Yan said, "They at least need to repair the arena before they can continue the match."

How long this process will take is unknown, so there's no rush.

Then, Xi Yan patted Luffy's arm and said, "Let's go, let's go check on your opponents first."

"Profound!"

Luffy nodded and strode away with Xi Yan.

Meanwhile, in the tunnel behind them, Bartolomeo was trembling as he looked at the spot where the others had just been.

"Straw... Straw Hat?"

Bellamy, that bastard, mentioned the Straw Hat again... Does that mean the Straw Hat Pirates are in Dressrosa?

No... it's right here in this Colosseum?

Thinking of this, Bartolomeo's body began to tremble with excitement.

At that moment, he became even more determined in his decision.

Meanwhile, on the other side...

After waiting for a while, Luo and his group successfully boarded the bridge leading to Green Bit.

"This Iron Bridge looks very sturdy, there shouldn't be any problems, right?" Usopp said.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

"I think so too," Caesar said. "That way, we won't have to be afraid of those Fighting Fish."

Although he didn't know what Fighting Fish was like, he felt that those guys shouldn't be able to destroy the bridge, otherwise it would have been destroyed long ago.

Just then, Luo seemed to sense something and immediately stopped.

"Have they arrived...?"

Upon hearing this, both Usopp and Caesar shuddered.

Nicole Robin asked curiously, "What's here?"

Is it Doflamingo or Fighting Fish?

This time Luo didn't answer, but simply turned and glanced at the sea.

It was this action that made Nicole Robin understand his meaning.

Fighting Fish is here!

"Hey, look at the sea!"

Caesar was dumbfounded when he saw the enormous dorsal fin that had suddenly appeared.

Such a big dorsal fin?

Just how big is this fish?

Just as he was pondering this matter, the Fighting Fish suddenly burst out of the water, easily leaping over the bridge and flying to the other side.

"It's... it's appeared!"

"It's Fighting Fish!!!"

Usopp and Caesar were terrified when they saw the enormous Fighting Fish, which was almost the size of a ship.

No wonder that person said these Fighting Fish could capsize a boat; now it seems it really is true.

"Is that Fighting Fish?" Nico Robin looked at the reflection falling into the water with some surprise and said, "I really thought it was a fish."

With this size, it looks almost indistinguishable from a sea monster.

"Isn't this just a fish?" Luo said casually.

"Hey, that can't be called a fish anymore!" Usopp exclaimed excitedly, "That's a sea monster!"

"That's right, it's a sea monster!"

Caesar's expression was also somewhat agitated, clearly showing great fear of these ferocious-looking Fighting Fish.

"Hey, Luo, you'd better protect me!"

Luo ignored him, simply gazing calmly at the dark shadows on the sea, seemingly lost in thought.

"Hey, here we go again!"

"And there's more than one!"

Usopp was startled and took a step back, then noticed the sturdy iron bars beside him.

"Oh right, this thing was built to deal with Fighting Fish," Usopp said, his eyes lighting up. "It's so sturdy, it should be able to stop them."

As if it had heard Usopp's words, a Fighting Fish suddenly emerged from the sea and rushed towards the group at an extremely fast speed.

The next moment...

"Clang!"

"Varied...?!"

Seeing the iron railing easily deformed by the Fighting Fish, Usopp was so frightened that snot came out of his nose.

"Hey, the iron railings can't hold up at all!"

Nicole Robin's expression also turned serious. Looking at the deformed bridge, she asked, "Can we really reach the Green Bit safely?"

If a single Fighting Fish possesses such terrifying power, what about a whole group?

What would happen if that group below launched a coordinated attack?

As if she had thought of something, Nico Robin's gaze became even more serious.

"Don't worry, they'll figure something out," Law said, pointing to Usopp and Caesar.

Usopp:???

What do you mean by saying that the two of them will figure out a solution?

"You should handle this, Shichibukai!" Usopp roared, opening his shark-like mouth.

"No, I cannot fight right now," Luo said calmly.

"Ha?"

Usopp looked at Law with a puzzled expression. What did he mean by "he can't fight yet"?

What nonsense is this guy spouting?

Ignoring Usopp's reaction, Law pointed to the approaching fighting Fighting Fish and said, "It's coming."

"Damn it, you just wait!"

Usopp knew this wasn't the time to argue with Law, so he decisively drew his weapon.

"Ultimate Move - Green Star!"

"Skull Explosion Grass!"

"Whoosh~"

"Boom!!"

Looking at the giant Fighting Fish that he had blasted away, a smile immediately appeared on Usopp's face.

"Hahaha, see that? This is my..."

"Here we go again!"

"Um?"

Upon hearing Caesar's roar, Usopp instinctively turned around and glanced back, then his expression turned to one of terror.

At this distance... there's no time to use weapons.

The next moment, numerous arms appeared on the bridge, clearly Nico Robin activating her Devil Fruit power.

"Myriad Purple Flowers: Giant Tree - Palm Strike!"

"Bump!"

A giant hand slammed down, sending the enormous fighting Fighting Fish flying with a single blow.

Feeling the texture of her hand, Nico Robin frowned and said, "That's really sturdy."

Is this Fighting Fish?

That's really scary.

"Well done, everyone," Luo said with a smile.

"Is this the time to talk about this?" Usopp quickly started running forward, saying, "Let's get out of here quickly."

There's no point in staying and fighting against this number of enemies, so it's better to rush over quickly.

The others understood this as well, so they quickly followed Usopp and rushed forward.

"Damn it, here it comes again."

"Ultimate Kill - Tenfold Explosive Star!"

"Whoosh~"

The explosive projectile rapidly expanded after being launched, growing tenfold in the blink of an eye, before slamming into the charging Fighting Fish.

"Boom!!"

With a single blow, the Fighting Fish was blasted away.

"Um?"

Sensing the change behind him, Law glanced at Usopp in surprise. What kind of ability did this guy have to make bombs grow bigger?

"Long Nose leader, what kind of ability do you have?"

"Ah, I'm Momo Man ate the More-More Fruit," Usopp grinned. "I can freely amplify inorganic matter."

Luo:...

Upon hearing Usopp's words, Law stumbled and nearly fell to the ground.

What did he hear?

More-More Fruit?

Is it the Devil Fruit of World Destroyer World?

Wait, why did this Devil Fruit end up in the Straw Hat Crew's hands?

That's a legendary Devil Fruit!

'What kind of incredible luck did the Straw Hat Pirates have?'

For a moment, Luo didn't know what to say.

"Wait, isn't your Straw Hat Pirates a little too lucky?" Caesar asked Usopp in surprise.

Let's see what the Straw Hat Pirates have!

Not only are there Ship Spirit and Logia Devil Fruit User, but now a legendary Devil Fruit has appeared...

No, what kind of luck do they have?

"Hahaha, we're just that lucky!" Usopp said, raising his head.

Although they didn't know what happened, the Straw Hat Pirates were indeed much luckier than expected.

This can be seen from the number of Devil Fruit User.

"Hey, stop spacing out, here we go again!" Nico Robin shouted.

What are you waiting for at a time like this?!
