"Very good." Renn praised. Barrett has basically mastered the ancient weapon. Although he may not have assimilated some of the core abilities yet, these basic functions are already very powerful!
"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Rein. Next is the firepower attack mode. Currently, I have mastered two types: one is a wide-area attack, and the other is a concentrated, focused burst attack! This is mainly for large-scale enemies and individually powerful enemies! Of course, the overall energy output is the same, only the method is different!"
As Barrett spoke, he activated his ability, and black cannon barrels popped out from the previously sealed hull!
It doesn't use any kind of shells, but rather it rapidly draws in various elements from the atmosphere!
Lightning, light element, atmosphere, fire element... and so on.
Compress and concentrate this energy within the cannon barrel!
Then, after reaching a terrifying critical value, it suddenly shot down towards the ice field below!
Countless beams of energy shot down from the sky!
But while in mid-air, all the energy beams converged at a single point, condensing into a dazzling super beam of light!
This is a burst-fire attack!!!
Whoosh!! Without any explosion, everything was disintegrated, broken down, and melted upon impact with the super beam!
A crater only about ten meters in diameter appeared, but its depth stretched more than a hundred kilometers into the earth!
Seawater is rushing in like crazy!
Its power is terrifying!
[Red Hair #2: Even the strongest creature would have its body pierced through if hit by this beam of light; there would be no doubt about it!]
Kaido didn't refute it, but stared in horror at the crater that was hundreds of kilometers deep!
This depth was only known to them after Barrett reported it to Rein following the attack.
"Wow, that's amazing!!!" Luffy exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the crater!
The next demonstration of the coverage attack is even simpler: the various energy element beams that were just fired will not converge!
[Aokiji #2: It does seem to be comparable to the power of the ancient weapon used to attack Sabo before. Could it be the same model?]
[Silver Axe #2: What an incredibly desirable weapon! A large part of the World Government's power to rule the world for so long comes from the Ancient Weapons! In other words, being strong on your own isn't enough; unless you can withstand the Ancient Weapons head-on, they will be the most important weapons against the World Government!]
[Whitebeard #2: But then again, while Ancient Weapons are indeed powerful, top-tier fighters, knowing their strength, generally wouldn't choose to withstand them head-on. The best way to eliminate this threat is to eliminate the pilot!]
[Garp #2: Not bad. Mastering this weapon requires a person, and once the person is eliminated, the weapon naturally loses its divine power! Besides, people aren't inanimate objects; they won't just stand there and let you attack them! This might be our way to counter these devastating weapons!]
[Golden Lion #2: The problem is, with people inside the warship, how easy is it to resolve? That's a question!]
[Red-Haired Shanks #2: Rein probably means he wants Luffy to fight Bullet, who wields an Ancient Weapon, to see how it goes. We'll probably know the result soon!]
"Go ahead and look and study as much as you like. When the world government uses these to fight and destroy you someday, you won't be completely helpless!" Renn thought to himself.
This exposure isn't necessarily a bad thing for Rennes!
At least it demonstrated the specific capabilities of the ancient weapons, which the powerful figures of both worlds had witnessed!
With their intelligence, they must be able to come up with many solutions!
The most dangerous time for a weapon is when it is unknown to the world and is launched suddenly!
They didn't even know how to deal with it!
"Damn it, Rein! If you're going to research ancient weapons, fine, but to have so many powerful figures find out about it now will significantly reduce the deterrent effect of ancient weapons if they reappear in the future!" The Five Elders from both worlds knew that Rein couldn't control the video playback.
But her face still couldn't help but look grim!
No weapon or person could withstand the scrutiny of so many powerful individuals!
……
"Are you ready to fight me now?" Barrett asked Luffy.
"Come on!!" Although he had witnessed the power of the Ancient Weapons, which shocked Luffy greatly, it also ignited his competitive spirit!
Perhaps some pirate will acquire this power someday!
Get used to it now, so you won't be so passive when you encounter it again!
“Well then… I’ll begin my attack. Lord Rein, please keep a little distance!” Barrett reminded him.
“Hmm.” Renn nodded, then led everyone to stand in the air further away!
Luffy then launched the first attack. Now that he knew the power of Pluton and the conditions for its activation, he certainly wouldn't give Pluton a chance to build up its power for an attack!
Luffy used Gear Second and Shave to instantly appear above Barrett and punched him!
Boom! Luffy slammed a powerful punch into the energy shield, causing it to shake violently and ripple, but quickly returned to calm!
At the same time, the metal on the Pluto ship suddenly became active!
Barrett extended a hand, with molten metal clinging to his palm, and then struck out at Luffy from a distance!
Boom!! Suddenly, the entire atmosphere became incredibly heavy!
Within a radius of tens of thousands of meters, a special gravitational field was formed!
A powerful force of gravity suddenly acted on Luffy!
It made his body feel incredibly heavy, and he lost control of it, plummeting straight down from the sky!
[Usopp #2: You're kidding, right? If he falls straight into the sea, wouldn't the other Luffy lose instantly? He'd be defeated in one move?!]
"Gear Fourth!" Under immense gravity, Luffy instantly transformed into Gear Fourth Boundman just before falling into the sea! Floating in the air, but still under gravity, he unleashed tremendous force with his legs, dodging and weaving as he charged towards Pluton above!
But the speed is much slower!
At that moment, countless dense beams of energy shot down from inside the Hades ship!
"Gum-Gum King Crow Cannon!!" Terrifying beams of energy filled the sky, and Luffy had no way to escape the terrifying gravitational field in time, so he could only withstand it!
Ryuo's Armament Haki and powerful Conqueror's Haki were used simultaneously!
Boom boom boom!! Luffy's strength is also formidable, with powerful defense and Haki. His scattered attacks are even effective against the Ancient Weapon, Pluton!
We can hold on for now!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh... But the energy beams on the Hades battleship poured out continuously, as if they were free, and they became more and more dense!
Luffy was able to climb a certain distance using Gear Fourth, but after three seconds, he could no longer withstand the continuous beam attacks!
"hateful!!"
"Gum-Gum Giant Spear!!" Luffy, in Gear Fourth, grew even larger and unleashed a colossal fist upwards! Clearing out an area! But it consumed a tremendous amount of energy!
At this moment, the newly fired energy beams converged and condensed into an incredibly terrifying attack!
It slammed down on Luffy in a flash!
"This is bad!!" Luffy's expression changed. This speed is even faster, and all the energy is condensed into one. Although the total energy is the same, the power of one attack and multiple attacks are completely different!
"Gear Fifth!!!" Luffy stared at the beam of light shooting down and entered Gear Fifth form. At the same time, he used his Observation Haki to its fullest extent to predict the future!
The terrifying power shattered the gravity field, and at the critical moment, Luffy dodged the attack by sidestepping!
But I didn't avoid it completely, and my arm got scraped!
[Auntie #2: That little monster who could defeat Kaido was forced into Gear Fifth form in that brief moment!!]
(Please subscribe to the full version!!)
172. Im issues the kill order!! Uta's dream of changing the world begins! (Please subscribe to the full list!)
They had all witnessed Luffy's strength before. Even without Gear 5, his combat power was enough to go toe-to-toe with a Yonko-level powerhouse!
But now, Barrett is wielding Hades, only unleashing the attack power of this ancient weapon, in just a few moves.
This forced Luffy to enter his Awakened Gear 5 state, a state capable of defeating top-tier powerhouses!
[Kaido #2: An Ancient Weapon, a weapon of destruction that people have always sought. It should possess such power! Otherwise, how could the World Government use it as one of its trump cards!]
The other powerful pirates felt a chill run down their spines, suddenly realizing how lucky they were!
Some people have roamed the seas their whole lives, offended the World Government, and even killed Celestial Dragons!
But they have never been targeted by this weapon. If one of the Five Elders were to wield such a weapon and want to kill them, it would be quite easy!
[Whitebeard #2: After all, it's a weapon; the greater the power, the greater the cost!]
The white-bearded man explained everything! Everyone agreed that it made perfect sense!
If it were so easily usable, the world government would probably have used it to establish its authority long ago!
Instead of keeping it as a trump card and holding onto it forever!
In video #1, after Luffy transforms into Gear 5, he dodges the attack, but his arm is grazed and his defenses are broken. Even with Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, plus the ability of the Sun God to weaken the attack, he still can't withstand this blow!
This terrified many powerful individuals!
Luffy then teleported at supersonic speed to the top of the Ancient Weapon.
Since we'll be constantly attacked from below, let's look for opportunities from above!
"Gum-Gum White Thor!!" Gear 5 Luffy caught a terrifying white lightning bolt from afar and hurled it straight at Barrett!
Barrett manipulated Hades into his previously slow but extremely defensive massive form!
Boom! The white lightning struck the Hades shield, causing it to tremble violently, but it still failed to break through!
