After dismissing his barrier, Bartolomeo gave Morantesi a cold look and taunted, "Let me see what you're really capable of!"
"Whatever tricks you have, bring them out now."
"Once you're dead, you won't get another chance!"
Morantesi snorted in return. "You want to kill me? You?"
"I'd like to see what a guy who only knows how to hide in his shell can do!"
The moment he finished speaking, Bartolomeo charged straight at him.
As the wielder of the Barrier-Barrier Fruit, his defensive abilities were incredibly powerful.
But that didn't mean defense was all Bartolomeo had to offer.
On the contrary, he had been training in all kinds of offensive techniques, hoping to one day become a powerhouse equally skilled in attack and defense.
Bartolomeo moved incredibly fast, closing the distance in the blink of an eye.
He clenched his right fist, instantly coating it in Armament Haki!
"Inch Punch!"
With a sharp cry, Bartolomeo drove his fist toward Morantesi's chest.
Seeing this, Morantesi refused to back down.
He instantly transformed into his massive Silver Bear Form again.
In this form, his strength wasn't the only thing that increased.
More importantly, Morantesi's defensive abilities also improved tremendously.
A moment later, Bartolomeo's fist struck Morantesi's silver bear body...
Chapter 877
Neither Bartolomeo nor Morantesi was someone to be trifled with.
After trading taunts, they quickly plunged into battle.
Bartolomeo stormed up to Morantesi with the force of a thunderbolt.
His fist, coated in Armament Haki, struck Morantesi squarely.
Even though Morantesi had already transformed into his Silver Bear Form, it did him no good!
A scream rang out!
"Aah!"
An instant later, Morantesi's silver bear body went flying backward!
A clear, visible dent remained where Bartolomeo had struck him.
It was enough to show just how powerful Bartolomeo's punch had been.
