Chapter 76 The Ultimate Flash
Chapter 76 The Ultimate Flash
He wore a bull-horned helmet with broken horns on his head, and his whole body exuded a chill. His skin was an unnatural bluish-white color, as if he had just walked out of an ice cellar.
There were many knowledgeable guys among the serious criminals in the Infinite Hell, but as they looked at each other, few knew where this person came from.
Only Redfield's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had thought of something.
"Why are you so arrogant? I am..." A serious criminal with a red beard said indignantly. He used to be a big pirate who was rampant in the New World, but now few people take him seriously.
"Momo... a hundred times! Booger Cannon!"
The giant man wearing a horned helmet picked his nose, but only a lump of ice chips came out.
He didn't care!
He threw the ice debris directly towards Redbeard.
What made everyone unbelievable the next moment was that this small piece of ice rapidly expanded in the air and eventually turned into an ice cube the size of a table, directly smashing Red Beard into a meat paste.
"World Destroyer...Bondi Waldo!"
Redfield spoke slowly, and after seeing the other party's iconic ability, he was finally able to confirm his identity.
This is a great pirate from an earlier generation than him. The Momo Fruit he possesses can amplify his own speed and volume, as well as the speed and volume of objects he touches, by a hundred times.
In his hands, the most common musket has greater destructive power than the main gun of a naval warship.
If Waldo were to operate the giant cannon, he could easily send the navy's fortress into the sky with one shot.
The navy who discovered Waldo's abilities at that time were horrified!
He did not hesitate to mobilize the CP organization to lead Waldo's crew to rebel, and finally defeated him.
I just didn't expect that after thirty years, Bondi Waldo would look no different than he did back then.
Such a discovery made Redfield a little jealous. After being imprisoned in the Infinite Hell for more than 20 years, he could already feel that his body was far inferior to what it used to be.
This aging body made him extremely distressed. He wanted to restore his youth and continue living!
"Everyone, you may know me or you may not, but it doesn't matter. I believe no one wants to continue to be imprisoned in this dark and hellish place!"
Xilu took the initiative to step forward, and wearing the warden uniform, he attracted countless malicious glances.
However, Xilu seemed unaware of this. Except for the most terrifying monsters, he didn't mind chopping off a few of the remaining monsters to loosen up their muscles before escaping from the Impel Down City.
"Hmm, just say whatever you want to say, Xiliu. Everyone here knows that you are an incorrigible bad guy!"
Katrin Diemey said with a smile.
Apart from those monsters, Crescent Hunter can be considered a top-tier warrior in the Infinite Hell, and doesn't care whether he will offend Shiryu or not.
"Okay, then I'll be frank. I hope you can restrain yourself a little before you flee Impel Down. If you want to kill each other, at least wait until we escape, right?!"
Xiluo spoke very seriously, holding a cigar in his mouth. Originally, he just wanted to escape by himself, but he heard the news of the man's arrival from his old subordinates. The murderous warden of Impel Down had to take the risk and release all the monsters in the infinite hell.
"Can't we just kill everyone and get out?"
Barrett grinned, and for a moment countless hostile and malicious eyes fell on him, but this "descendant of the devil" became more and more excited.
It’s great that I can find so many strong people just after coming out. Kill them all first, and then rush out to kill all the admirals of the navy and the pirate emperor. He is the strongest one who surpasses Roger!
"Shameless talk!"
Redfield snorted coldly. He could feel a deadly threat from Barrett, but if the Red Earl said that this junior could kill him, he would only sneer.
"I just want to get out and blow Marinford up into the sky! Don't get in the way, or I'll blow you up into the sky too!"
Waldo growled in a muffled voice. Having spent thirty years of loneliness in the ice, his hatred for the navy could not be washed away even by all the water in the Grand Line.
"That guy Magellan has been crippled. Who can stop us from leaving now?"
"Hahaha, I'm going to kill Magellan before I leave!"
"That chick! I remember the chick with the glasses, no one is going to compete with me for her!"
……
The criminals who escaped from prison did not take the current Impel Down City seriously at all. Not to mention that Magellan was seriously injured, even if Magellan was at his peak, he would not be able to stop so many monsters from leaving Impel Down City!
"What a bunch of people! You only know that Magellan has fallen, but you don't know who the navy sent over!"
Xiliu gritted his teeth. If he wasn't really unsure, there would be no need to bother with these idiots.
"Haha, who can the navy send over? Even if it's Ka... even if Marshal Zhan Guo himself comes, there's nothing to be afraid of!"
"Marshal Sengoku? I remember that guy was still an admiral when I was imprisoned, right?"
"What? When did that damn bastard become a general?"
……
Seeing that the topic was becoming more and more off-topic and this group of ignorant prisoners were still bragging, Xilu could not help but cover his forehead. How could he escape from Impel Down with this bunch of insects?
"Shut up! The one coming is General Kizaru! Borsalino!"
As soon as Xiliu's words came out, except for a very small number of "living fossils" who were captured and imprisoned in the Infinite Hell twenty or thirty years ago, the rest of the prisoners shut their mouths unconsciously.
Even Redfield's expression changed slightly, only Barrett showed an excited smile.
"Borsalino! Great! That guy is here too! If I kill him, even Roger will have to admit that I'm better than him!"
Barrett was so excited that his whole body was shaking. He didn't care what Xiliu was saying, and he roared and rushed towards the direction of the passage.
He had to find Borsalino first and kill the monster in a one-on-one situation!
"That idiot! No matter what you're thinking, as long as you defeat Kizaru, we'll have a chance to escape!"
Xiluo cursed inwardly. The devil's descendant could be ranked among the top three monsters in the infinite hell, but this guy's mind is full of killing. Otherwise, if everyone united, they would definitely be able to defeat Borsalino!
"I'll listen to you for now."
Redfield said softly that he hated to form alliances with others, but the Red Earl also knew that he was not only old now, but also had a lack of exercise due to years of imprisonment, and his strength had even declined compared to before.
If we face that monster from the navy in this state, the result will probably not be very good.
"Let me go with you!"
Magellan repeatedly persuaded Borsalino, trying to make him understand what kind of monsters were imprisoned in the Infinite Hell.
Even those damn guys in the Revolutionary Army didn't dare to release the prisoners held in the depths of Infinite Hell.
It would be fine if it was someone else who escaped from prison, but Magellan knew Xiluo's character too well. In order to regain his freedom, Xiluo would definitely not have any scruples.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely release all the prisoners in the Infinite Hell.
"You stay up there quietly. I don't have another dose of Healing Dandelion to save you. Gion, help me stop them and don't let anyone come down to cause trouble."
Borsalino rejected Magellan's request without hesitation. If a hardworking worker like Magellan, who had worked diligently for decades, were to die at the hands of a prisoner who had escaped from prison, not to mention the Marshal of the Warring States Period, even Borsalino would feel heartbroken.
Magellan is considered to be in the first tier below the top powers, but in front of the monsters imprisoned in the Infinite Hell, even the top powers may not be able to protect themselves.
"Yes, I know."
Gion nodded. Although she was a little itchy, she knew it was right to obey Borsalino's orders first.
Seeing Admiral Kizaru heading to the fifth underground floor alone, Magellan subconsciously wanted to follow him, but was stopped by Gion.
"Vice Admiral Gion, we can't let Admiral Kizaru take the risk alone!"
Magellan was very anxious, but Gion blocked the passage and refused to let him pass no matter what.
"This is Borsalino's decision. You can't go unless he lifts the order!"
Gion spoke very seriously. For the navy, the orders of superiors are absolute. Even if Borsalino is not considered as her fiancé, Gion must follow the orders of Admiral Kizaru.
As for the prisoners in the infinite hell that Magellan repeatedly emphasized, to be honest, no one knows how many of those guys were captured by Borsalino!
On the fifth underground floor, Borsalino was walking in an extremely cold hell of ice and snow, surrounded by frozen bodies of prisoners and torn remains of war wolves.
Due to its special environment, the Arctic Hell is also the only floor in the Deep Sea Prison that does not have surveillance Den Den Mushi.
"You're so slow. Do you know what speed is of the essence? You're still trying to escape from prison. If it were me... Oh, I don't need to escape from prison, then it's fine..."
I waited for a long time but no one showed up.
Borsalino simply stood guard at the entrance to the fourth underground floor, waiting for the escaped prisoners to come to him on their own accord.
The main body of the deep-sea prison is basically below the sea surface, especially the sixth underground floor which is basically the same as the seabed.
Unless the prisoner is a Devil Fruit user with special abilities, any prisoner who wants to escape must pass through the passage guarded by Borsalino at this time.
'boom! '
The passage blocked by the jailers exploded, and a figure so strong that it was almost inhuman rushed out from the sixth underground floor and launched an astonishing charge straight towards Borsalino.
Even from a long distance, Borsalino could feel that he had been locked on by the other party.
"Only one? No way, do you look down on me so much?"
Borsalino raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the figure rushing towards him with a bit of amusement.
Although he recognized Barrett at first sight, and Barrett was indeed as strong as a monster, it was still a bit too much to think of challenging him alone.
But Barrett doesn't think so. During the twenty years he was imprisoned in Infinite Hell, Barrett was training every moment to make himself stronger.
He is so strong that he far surpasses his past self. No matter whether it is the admiral of the navy or the pirate emperor, everyone is destined to die in his hands!
"Porusalino!"
Barrett's roar almost shattered the ice. With his fists wrapped in dark armed color domineering, he was like a rocket, bombarding towards Borsalino at an astonishing speed.
He has trained himself to an almost inhuman physique, honed his Armament Haki to the pinnacle, and has perfected his physical skills and killing techniques. This is the Barrett of today, a well-deserved descendant of the devil!
One punch!
Just one punch!
Even the admiral of the navy, even Borsalino, could not withstand his punch!
Barrett was roaring and laughing wildly, as if he had already seen the moment when he would surpass Roger.
Then, a fist that looked ordinary but incredibly strong suddenly appeared and hit Barrett at an incredible speed.
'boom! ’
The moment the fist touched his cheek... Barrett's laughing expression began to distort, and before he realized what was happening, he was knocked back by the punch.
'Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang...'
The faster you rush over, the faster you fly back!
Barrett's physique was indeed strong after more than twenty years of training. He smashed dozens of icebergs in a row, dug a trench several meters deep on the ice, and slid for hundreds of meters before stopping.
"It's so scary that it suddenly rushed over..."
Borsalino shook his palms. It had been a long time since he encountered such a strong sandbag. The angle was too good and he accidentally used too much force. He hoped that he would not be hurt by him.
"Impossible... Impossible... How could I possibly lose!"
Barrett lay in the big hole he had crashed into, doubting his life. It took him a long time to come to his senses, and he roared in anger.
The burning anger could be clearly felt even from a distance of several hundred meters.
"Oh, you're pretty tenacious."
Borsalino was a little surprised. He didn't have the evil taste of a certain bald guy who could punch anyone with one punch. The punch he just threw at Barrett's face, not to mention his full strength, was also slightly beyond the upper limit of the attack power of a top-level strong man.
Even if Garp or Whitebeard in their prime came, they might not be able to deliver a stronger blow.
But what Borsalino didn't expect was that Barrett actually took the punch. At least in terms of pure defense, Barrett's twenty years of hard training were not in vain. "I am a man who wants to surpass Roger! How could I fall in a place like this! Roar!"
The deep purple Armament Haki that was fused with the Conqueror's Haki instantly covered Barrett's entire body. Barrett, who had been training in the Infinite Hell for more than 20 years, possessed a huge amount of Armament Haki, and could even release it in large quantities like a tsunami.
Vergo, who was sent to the navy as an undercover agent by Doflamingo using the same method of covering his entire body with Armament Haki, was not even qualified to carry Barrett's shoes.
Barrett, whose whole body was covered with Armament Haki, had greatly improved both his speed and strength. Feeling the power surging from his body, Barrett couldn't help but grin.
A momentary mistake was nothing at all. He would soon make Borsalino understand that in the face of unparalleled violence, even as an admiral of the navy, he was nothing more than a humble weakling and a loser!
It is destined to become an insignificant stepping stone on his road to surpassing Roger!
"It's really scary..."
Borsalino took it a little more seriously. This level of momentum was enough to pose a threat to top powerhouses.
In the final analysis, Conqueror's Haki is the most special of the three colors of Haki. It is not only reflected in the bonus to the combat power of the strong, but more importantly, it is the only Haki that cannot be improved through training.
The fundamental factor that determines the strength of the Conqueror's Haki is the courage of the possessor himself.
In other words, the more you can strengthen your beliefs and the more you believe in your own "arrogance", the stronger your domineering aura will be!
As luck would have it, Barrett just met all the conditions at this moment. His domineering aura had reached its peak, and even the top strong men had to avoid his edge at this moment.
"Combination·Iceberg·Destruction Cannon!"
Barrett shattered the iceberg beside him, and a large amount of ice attached to his arm, turning it into a giant arm.
The armed Haki that was fused with the Conqueror's Haki instantly completed the entanglement, and Barrett, dragging the huge arm, roared and charged towards Borsalino.
The ice surface was crushed into pieces by Barrett's huge arms, and every step he took created dense spider-web-like cracks on the ice surface.
"30%... No, be steady, 40%! Flash Speed Kick!"
Borsalino raised his foot calmly. As an extremely bright light came on, Barrett, who immediately rushed in front of Borsalino, suddenly felt fear from the bottom of his heart.
The Observation Haki is giving a crazy warning. If you are kicked by this kick, you will most likely die!
However, Barrett, with his eyes wide open, showed no fear at all. Barrett, who always believed that he was invincible, let out a deafening roar.
He swung his huge arm and punched hard, attacking Borsalino head-on.
Borsalino vs. Barrett!
Speedy Kick VS Destruction Cannon!
‘Boom! ’
The earth-shaking confrontation caused the entire Impel Down City to shake violently. Fortunately, the main body of the Deep Sea Prison was strong enough, otherwise it would not have been able to withstand the collision between the two monsters.
The ice layer that had been frozen for countless years was as hard as steel, but in the blink of an eye, it was completely flattened by the aftermath of the collision between Borsalino and Barrett.
A huge pit more than ten meters deep and several dozen meters wide was blasted into the ground. Barrett, who was in tatters, flew directly from one end of the fifth underground floor to the other, and was embedded in the wall, unable to move.
"You're amazing. You're not dead yet. I, Borsalino, would like to call you the best when it comes to taking a beating... Well, no, I'll have to find an opportunity to beat Kaido up again. Maybe he's tougher after all..."
Borsalino was amazed, saying that it was good to have more Armament Haki.
Under normal circumstances, Barrett would not be able to withstand the damage, but he blocked it with his massive amount of Armament Haki.
But that's about it. Even if he's a descendant of the devil, he should have reached his limit...
"I...haven't...lost yet...ah!"
What Borsalino didn't expect was...
Barrett, who seemed to him to be beyond redemption, broke free from the wall and stood opposite Borsalino once again.
"Really? Is it necessary to go to this extent? I can't guarantee that I can hold back if I continue to fight."
Borsalino's eyes narrowed slightly. With his keen eyesight, it was not difficult to see that Barrett was about to reach his limit.
Barrett, who was imprisoned in the Infinite Hell, trained for more than twenty years and developed an aura and armed color domineering that even Borsalino was amazed at.
If someone else, even Vice Admiral Garp or Whitebeard in his prime, were to fight against Barrett who had surpassed his limits, the odds would be almost 60-40 or even even equal.
But once this invincible momentum was broken, when Barrett fell into self-doubt...
Even Gion and Magellan could have possibly defeated him.
"Not yet... How could I possibly lose! And that move, as long as I use it, I will definitely win! The ultimate fusion..."
Barrett lay prone on the ice. The ground five floors underground suddenly began to shake violently. Countless icebergs collapsed one after another. The hard ice layer broke apart, as if being pulled by some invisible force, and flew towards Barrett's location.
"Wow! This is really... a big scene!"
Borsalino couldn't help but marvel at the numerous bizarre and gigantic creatures in the Grand Line. Even giants that were more than ten or twenty meters tall were nothing more than tiny creatures in front of those big guys.
From the island-eating goldfish that devours an island in one mouthful, to the super-giant sea king that is 5,000 meters long, to the elephant king that carries the country of Zou on its back and walks in the sea, which is tens of thousands of meters long...
He had seen too many huge monsters, but no matter how many times he saw them, he couldn't help but marvel at them.
"Ice Demon!"
What finally appeared in front of Borsalino was an ice demon god made entirely of solid ice, at least two or three hundred meters tall.
One of its palms is larger than the navy's main battleship, and its tall body stands tall like an iceberg left over from ancient times.
There is no doubt that this big guy can smash any resisting enemy into pulp with just one punch.
"What a stubborn fellow! He has already reached his limit... Well, I'll let you see my full strength... Tsk, I don't know if the Advance City is strong enough. I should hold back a little, 70%... No! 80%!"
Borsalino muttered quietly to himself, but unfortunately Barrett couldn't hear what he was saying.
At this time, Barrett had almost lost consciousness, and was controlling his body entirely with the last bit of his unyielding will and instinct.
More than twenty years of physical training, more than twenty years of honing the armed color domineering, and more than twenty years of tempering the invincible spirit, finally converged into the strongest and final ultimate blow in Barrett's life!
"God's Fist Crush·Shock Wave!"
The moment the Ice Demon slammed towards Borsalino's position, Barrett's body was on the verge of collapse.
But even so, he still stared at Borsalino with the last bit of his energy, wanting to see the naval monster die in his hands with his own eyes.
Even Roger had never defeated the admiral of the navy. If he could kill this admiral, wouldn't that mean he had surpassed Roger?
"The ultimate flash!"
Borsalino raised his right hand, pointed a finger at the Ice Demon, and spoke softly.
Light!
Endless light!
The endless light made the entire Impel Down City completely lose its color. As the light gradually dimmed, the huge Ice Demon began to disintegrate.
A huge hole with a diameter of more than three meters pierced through the Ice Demon, and Barrett, who was hiding behind the ice and protected by two layers of armament domineering, was wiped out from this world.
What is even more terrifying is that above the Ice Demon, if you look straight up, you can actually see a small piece of sky.
Borsalino's attack penetrated the Impel Down from the fifth underground level... and then penetrated the fortresses of the Ice Demon, the fourth underground level, the third underground level, the second underground level, the first underground level, and the first floor, opening a straight passage from the first to the fifth floors in the entire Deep Sea Prison.
“Ah… I think that’s a bit too much…”
Borsalino scratched his hair in distress. It was not always a good thing to increase strength too quickly. In his imagination, this attack would be enough to penetrate the fourth underground floor. It was too exaggerated to directly penetrate the Impel Down City.
Fortunately, no one was hurt by the perception of Observation Haki. No, if someone was hit directly by the previous attack, it would not be a question of whether they were hurt or not. Only a very small number of people would not be wiped out from this world, at least the seriously injured Barrett was not among them.
At this moment, in the fourth level of the scorching hell underground, when the light that seemed to be able to swallow everything gradually disappeared, the consciousness that had almost disappeared under the shock of death was gradually recovered.
"That's... Borsalino?"
Gion was the first to wake up. He looked at the neatly arranged large round hole on the ground, then raised his head to look at the floors above. It seemed like a standard circle carved out of the same mold, and even the small circle was faintly visible in the clouds ten thousand meters in the sky.
It is not difficult to imagine how amazing the power and range of this attack are. Even Gion, who is a candidate for general, has never heard of any attack that can reach such an exaggerated level.
"What happened just now? I seemed to see..."
Magellan, who had just recovered from a serious injury, was a little slower than Gion to come to his senses, and he instinctively asked the first thing he did.
Then they saw the huge hole that went through most of Impel Down. Magellan, who had been stationed in Impel Down for decades, was completely stunned.
Apart from the craftsmen who built Impel Down eight hundred years ago, no one knew more about Impel Down than Magellan.
That is why Magellan could not understand how it was possible for anyone in this world to break through Impel Down!
"Perhaps this is the Admiral of the Navy!"
Gion was stunned for a long time, but she was not discouraged by it. Instead, it strengthened her belief.
She wants to become stronger!
Become ten times stronger than now!
Only in this way can I catch up with Borsalino, and not be like now, where I can only look up at his back!
"..."
The corners of Magellan's mouth twitched. This must be a joke. If all the admirals of the navy had such strength, the Four Emperors would have been playing mahjong in infinite hell long ago.
The jailers who gradually came to their senses learned that this was Admiral Kizaru's "masterpiece" and could not help but exclaimed "The Navy Admiral is invincible."
He was even more confident in Borsalino, who was going to suppress the Infinite Hell alone. He had never seen a navy admiral who could break through the Impel Down City. What kind of rotten fish and shrimp were the prisoners of the Infinite Hell?
The sixth underground level at this moment is an infinite hell.
The prisoners who escaped from prison finally reached a consensus under the intimidation of several big guys. They would first join forces to escape from Impel Down City. Any other ideas would be discussed after leaving the Deep Sea Prison.
"That guy should be fighting with the admiral. When the noise above stops, we will charge up together!"
By this time, Xiliu had made up his mind and no longer cared about Borsalino's strength.
He just didn't believe that even if so many monsters imprisoned in the infinite hell joined forces, they would still be no match for that navy monster!
Even though Douglas Barrett is already a dead man in Shiryu's eyes, he is still a great pirate who can dominate the sea!
Even if I'm no match for Borsalino, I can at least consume some of that navy monster's energy, right?
When Barrett had almost exhausted Borsalino's strength, he would rush forward with the serious criminals...
"There seems to be no movement?"
Crescent Hunter Katrin Diemey looked up at the passage. She hadn't heard any movement since Douglas Barrett rushed up there.
Whether it is Douglas Barrett, the descendant of the devil, or Borsalino, the general of Kizaru, they are all real monsters. Even the Impel Down City was shaken several times because of their fighting.
But now it has been a long time and there is still no movement. Even if there is a super thick layer between the fifth and sixth underground floors, it should not be so severe that even their observation Haki cannot sense any movement.
"Hey hey hey, finally...Hiccup...is the fight about to start?"
The big barrel Basque Choate spoke with his tongue sticking out and his face flushed.
This guy just came out of the cell, and he found several bottles of wine from some corner and got himself drunk.
A prisoner wanted to ask him for some wine, but he hit him to death with a wine jug.
"There's really no movement! Get ready to charge!"
Xilu's face looked a little ugly. He had originally hoped that Barrett could fight Borsalino to a draw. At the very least, he wanted Borsalino to use all his strength to defeat him.
But now, such a short time has passed and there has been no movement from Barrett. Some prisoners are still fantasizing that Barrett has defeated Borsalino, but only Shiliu has never had any expectations for Barrett from beginning to end.
Before Shiryu became the warden of Impel Down, he had seen many pirates sent to Impel Down by Borsalino.
No matter how powerful the pirates were, they would be vulnerable in front of Borsalino at that time.
In fact, in the current Infinite Hell, at least 30% of the prisoners were sent in by Borsalino. Otherwise, with Shiliu's eloquence, even with Red Earl Redfield standing behind him, it would be impossible for him to easily convince so many unruly guys.
"I have an ominous premonition..."
Redfield changed out of his prison uniform and was leaning on his umbrella, looking solemnly at the direction of the fifth underground floor. The last time he felt this way was when he fought with the then Admiral of the Navy, Cybernetic Kong. He finally defeated Cybernetic Kong and was exhausted when he saw Garp arriving.
Only Redfield, who possesses the super-strong observation Haki, could vaguely sense that something was wrong, but most of the escaped prisoners were already impatient by this time.
