The excellent trade war was endless.
Laffitte was now completely transformed into a battlefield, filled with smoke. However, unlike the other battlegrounds, there was only one enemy: the beast whose whole body flashed with cold light and the gun's muzzle constantly spitting fire snakes.
Even though the number of soldiers had the absolute advantage, they were still beaten back. No matter how they attacked, they were unable to cause any damage to the metal beasts.
"Hahahaha! There's no use at all. I am invincible!" Barett laughed loudly as he controlled his arm, flashing with metallic light to hit the ground continuously. Every time it landed, it caused the town to shake, the streets to crack, and the houses to collapse.
"Damn it! This monster, our attacks are useless!"
"Where is the general of the headquarters? This monster is not something we can deal with!"
"Quickly dodge! The attack is coming again!"
"Rumble!"
"Hahahahaha!"
"Whoosh!"
As Barett laughed, a burly figure suddenly flew out from his side and smashed into the ruins beneath his feet. "Eh?" Barett looked down at the figure in ruins in confusion. "Hey, Zuo Mu, what happened to you?" Barett asked curiously when he saw that it was Zuo Mu.
"Cough, cough!" Zuo Zuomu coughed a few times and sent the rocks flying. "I was too careless. I didn't think someone with such strength would be in this country." Zuo Mu replied in embarrassment when he heard Barett's teasing words.
"Oh? Not bad? That's great. I'm already completely tired of dealing with these rookies. Where is he?" Barett immediately became excited after hearing Zuo Zuomu's words.
"Whoosh!"
"BOOM!"
Just as Barett finished speaking, a figure suddenly rushed over from afar and kicked the chest of Barett's metal beast. The terrifying force directly cracked the chest of Barett's metal beast. Powerful inertia erupted. Barett's metal beast was also kicked back several steps and fell to the ground.
"Cough!"
In the control room where Barett was located inside the metal giant, Barett spat out a mouthful of blood. Then, he stared at the person who knocked him down. That person had a head of short golden hair.
His upper body was bare, and he wore a white cloak. He wore green military pants, black leather shoes, and a pair of golden earrings on his ears. He was tall and sturdy and looked at least three meters tall.
The man's lips curled into a disdainful smile as he looked disdainfully at Barett and Sagaki. "Hey, hey, is this all you have? If that's the case, then I'm disappointed." The man picked his ears and said to Barett in a frivolous tone. Barett was instantly enraged when he heard the man's words.
"##"
Veins popped up. Barett's eyes became angry, and an invisible aura exploded. An atmosphere like a wild beast instantly swept across the battlefield and charged at the man. The man's lips curled up as he felt the violent aura. He looked at Barett.
"Oh? He has this kind of aura. It seems that his strength is not bad. Then let me have a good time!" After saying that, the man gathered strength under his feet and rushed towards Barett with a bang.
"Blast - Cannon!"
Flying above Barett's metal beast, the man clenched his fists tightly. An invisible air current covered his fist. Then, as he waved his fist, a terrifying blast shot out and directly rushed toward Barett's control room.
"Yes! Not good!"
Barett exclaimed. His figure flashed, and a black and red light flashed. His figure quickly separated from the metal beast and returned to the ground.
"Rumble!"
"BOOM!"
The terrifying blast hit the chest of the metal beast the moment Barett dodged it. The metal beast that had suffered the explosion's impact and lost the support of Barett's power exploded. There was a loud noise, and dust flew into the sky.
The metal beast's explosion created a violent airflow that blew away the shattered rocks and wood around it. Barett placed his right hand before his face and looked excitedly at the figure before him. His long golden hair danced wildly in the air.
Sasaki's sword was stabbed into the ground. He clenched his fists tightly and used this opportunity to resist the violent airwave. When the smoke wave dissipated, Barett and Sasaki looked at the man simultaneously.
"Oh, it has no effect. However, if this is not the case, how can it be interesting!"
"Boom!"
The shock wave beneath his feet exploded. Borrowing the force of the impact, the man charged toward Barett and arrived in front of him immediately. His clenched fist flashed with a transparent light as he punched at Barett.
Seeing the man arrive in front of him in the blink of an eye, Barett did not panic. His clenched fist was quickly covered with black colored Busoshoku as he met the man's fist.
"Assault - Spear!"
"Armed - Fusion - Fist Stone!"
A black and red light flashed, and Barrett's arm merged with the stone in the blink of an eye. The black light collided with the man's fist.
Boom -
Their fists collided and created a violent air current. The powerful force penetrated the ground and caused the ground beneath them to collapse.
After the two of them attacked, they retreated at the same time. Barett looked at the man with an excited expression. The corners of his mouth curled up, and he laughed loudly.
"Hahaha! Not bad! You brat, you can fight with me without being at a disadvantage! What's your name?"
"Hehe, I am the chief of the Royal Guards of the kingdom. Chris Aluda, you can also call me Golden Hoop Ireya."
Ireya smiled as he answered Barett. He briefly introduced himself. "Golden Hoop Ireya? Alright, I will remember you! Then let's continue our battle!" Barett laughed loudly. Then, he waved his fist that had fused with gravel and charged at the other party.
"Heh, what an impatient little devil." Ireya chuckled and stomped on the ground. With the shockwave, he charged toward Barett, and they soon began to fight. In the distance, after listening to Ireya's self-introduction, Sasaki was a little surprised.
"Golden Ring Ireya, Isn't that a pirate who was given a bounty of 130 million Bailey five years ago, the captain of the Golden Ring Pirates? How could he be in this country and become the chief guard of this country?" Zuo Mu was rather curious about the sudden appearance of the Golden Hoop, Ireya.
However, Zuo Mu smiled indifferently when he saw that Barett and his opponent were attacking each other and seemed to have the upper hand. "Although Ireya is very strong, he is still inferior to Barett. He is truly worthy of being called a monster-like man."
Looking at the battle between Barett and Golden Hoop Ireya, Zuo Mu turned his head to look at Locke's war. Looking at the young man who was younger than Barrett and had beaten Locke, the strongest warrior of the kingdom, to the point where he couldn't fight back at all, Sagaki was even more determined in his heart.
After all, as the strongest warrior of the kingdom, even compared to the pirates on the sea who had a bounty of more than a hundred million, he couldn't fight back against Locke. This was enough to see how strong Locke was.
Instead of watching the two battlefields leisurely, Sasaki picked up the sword on the ground and slowly walked to the soldiers. "The two bosses are fighting hard. I can't watch idly here while reading, can I?"
Locke's figure flashed, easily dodging the fist sent at him. The long sword in his hand cut through his sturdy body extremely fast, leaving a deep cut. At this time, Odge was covered in sword wounds all over his body, his entire body covered in blood, looking extremely miserable.
Moreover, as the battle with Locke became longer, his body felt heavier, as if a house was pressing down on his body. "Hu, hu, hu!" When the attack missed, another wound appeared on Rexton's chest. His chest was violently fluctuating, and he was constantly gasping for breath. The battle with Locke made him feel desperate.
Not far away, the chicken-crowned general was in a sorry state. His initially decent military uniform was already tattered, and his face was covered in blood as he lay on the ground.
There was no movement, and he did not know whether he was dead or alive. Locke looked at Rexton calmly. "The last time we met, I was easily defeated by you. I didn't expect that when we met again, you wouldn't even be able to touch my body."
"Hu, hu, I must say, your talent is firm. In just three years, I have been no match for you!" E Jiate said with difficulty. The pressure on him was getting stronger and stronger, almost entirely pressing him to the ground. Looking at the problematic Odge, Locke had no interest in continuing with him.
Locke raised his sword and laid it on the top of his head. A purple light flashed, and then the entire Laffitte City shook. The rubble in the city flew up into the sky under an invisible force, condensing continuously. "Planet Earth Explosion!"
