The Duel of Ice and Fire

The Clash of Ice and Fire

Ye Han was just about to make his move when a voice rang out. "Barrier!" An invisible wall appeared before the ship. Bang! The flames crashed into the barrier, scattering sparks in every direction.

The Barrier Fruit was one of the Devil Fruits Ye Han had acquired and bestowed upon his subordinate. It was a decent Devil Fruit, though it excelled in defense while lacking offense. Its area was also limited by the user's level; within a short period, only a barrier of a fixed size could be created. Anything beyond that was impossible.

"Bartomi."

Once the flames vanished, Bartomi, the Barrier Fruit user, panted heavily. Using his Devil Fruit power at full force consumed an enormous amount of stamina. A barrier of that size had completely drained him. Exhausted, Bartomi said to Ye Han, "Boss, I've let you down. I can only create a barrier this large. I can't help you any further."

"That's already enough."

Apollo raised an eyebrow. "That's quite a good Devil Fruit. I heard you can seize other people's Devil Fruits. Are you planning to cultivate a whole group of Devil Fruit users like this?"

Bang! Bang! Bang!! Just as Apollo spoke, several cannonballs were fired from Ye Han's ship straight at him. Apollo was about to counter with flames, but the cannonballs did not hit him. Instead, they fell into the sea ahead of him.

Boom! Boom!!

The cannonballs exploded underwater, blasting up huge quantities of seawater that surged toward Apollo's ship.

"I see. You intended to use seawater to keep me from using my Devil Fruit power. Unfortunately, it's still useless."

"Sun Flame!" Apollo shouted, and massive flames instantly erupted from his body. The high-temperature fire evaporated all the seawater blasted up by the cannonballs before it
