Seeing a barrier rushing towards him at a very fast speed, Law, who had just teleported, could only teleport away again. However, as soon as he appeared, his expression suddenly changed again, because another barrier suddenly came in front of him.
"Is this the advanced prediction from Observation Haki?"
Moreover, Law also saw Basire summoning barriers one after another, and he knew that he could not keep avoiding them forever.
At this moment, he could only fight. The sword in his hand, Kikoku, was covered with the cutting power of the Op-Op Fruit and he slashed hard. The sword and the barrier suddenly collided.
However, the cut-off that Law had imagined did not appear. Instead he was knocked back by the barrier and fell to the ground.
He spat out a mouthful of blood and teleported away again, away from the terrifying guy named Big Daddy Basire.
Why?
Why can't his cutting power cut through this transparent barrier that looks like glass?
"Are you confused about why your Op-Op Fruit can't cut my barrier?"
Basire, who seemed to notice Trafalgar Law's shock and wanted to recruit him, stopped attacking and said casually with a smile.
"Simple, because my development of the Barrier Fruit is deeper than your development of the Op-Op Fruit!"
Basire continued, the strength of spears and shields ultimately depends on whose quality is better.
Water jets can cut steel, charcoal can be turned into diamonds, and even fragile glass can be turned into tempered glass and the extremely hard Rupert Drops.
The degree of development of the Devil Fruit is a sign of the power of a person with abilities.
A powerful user can directly break through Haki's defense with his abilities.
Like when Law used the Op-Op Fruit ability to split open the armored defense of Vergo, and Kizaru who can shoot the former Admiral Zephyr, an Armament Haki master, into a sieve.
Of course, the powerful Haki can also directly break a Devil Fruit ability. For example, Law in the future could directly use Haki to expel the disease fruit ability of Doc Q. However, strong Haki such as Kaido and Big Mom can ignore Law's space transfer ability.
···
"Master Basire, how do you know that my ability is the Op-Op Fruit? Is it because of it that you came after me?"
Trafalgar Law was a little shocked to hear that Basire recognized his Devil Fruit ability at a glance, and at the same time looked at this Shichibukai more warily.
Now even the newspapers and wanted posters don't indicate his abilities. So how could Basire know about it?
At first glance, he thought that Basire was a guy with evil intentions.
In fact, Law didn't know whether the World Government discovered his ability or whether it deliberately did not expose his ability.
He had heard Corazon say that the Marine behind him was the current Fleet Admiral, Sengoku the Buddha.
He had also thought about whether Sengoku knew about him. Could this Marine Fleet Admiral be hiding his information?
Or maybe it is that the World Government simply doesn't want the world to know that the Op-Op Fruit ability lies within him.
Maybe they are just waiting until Law has grown up, and then they will personally capture him and force him perform the ageless surgery for the world government dignitaries.
"Of course I know the Op-Op Fruit that has a price of 5 billion beris."
"But don't worry, I don't care about your immortality surgery, because I have other ways to live longer."
"How about it? You join me and I can help you get revenge and take down Doflamingo!"
"Otherwise, your Heart Pirates will be destroyed today, your companions will die, and you will not be able to take revenge."
"And Doflamingo will still live freely in Dressrosa, doing whatever he wants."
Basire said calmly, as if he didn't care about Law's immortality surgery at all. Now that Law hasn't developed the Op-Op Fruit much, he still can't do the immortality surgery.
"How do you know about my hatred with Doflamingo?"
Law was still full of vigilance. During the Op-Op Fruit battle on Minion Island, not many people knew about it.
"Does it matter? I need your allegiance, and you need my strength!"
"I can also promise you that Doflamingo will be solved within three years. After that, you can form a separate team, become a division captain, and do whatever you want to do."
Basire smiled and said, now that the Heart Pirates have been controlled by him and given such generous conditions, if Trafalgar Law still doesn't know how to advance and retreat, then it would be a bit ignorant.
"Three years?"
There was a slight movement on Law's face, as this amount of time was acceptable. His initial plan was to increase his strength and power for two or three years, and to recruit some allies.
Seeing Basire who has Conqueror's Haki said that it would take three years to solve Doflamingo. He really wanted to accept it.
"What do you want from me? Apart from the immortality surgery, I don't have that much value for you to deal with a powerful Shichibukai just to recruit me."
Law was still a little unclear. Now he is completely at a disadvantage and has lost the price for negotiation. So he feels it is not worth Basire's efforts at all.
"You may have underestimated the Op-Op Fruit's other abilities!"
"After joining us, I will help you develop your abilities as long as you work for me!"
Basire smiled softly, this Law really knew the current affairs, he would not be like Eustass Kid who would fight to the death and refuse to surrender.
However, this may also be an important reason why Kid was able to awaken Conqueror's Haki.
"I want to keep the Heart Pirates, can I join you as an affiliated pirate group?"
Law finally expressed this idea. He was a little unwilling to disband the pirate group they established together.
"In the next two years, outside you can be the Heart Pirates, and inside you can be one of the ship's doctors of the Big Daddy Pirates."
"After killing Doflamingo, you will become the heart of the Big Daddy Pirates, but I allow you to keep the pirate flag."
After Basire thought for a moment, he said that because as long as he controls Blackbeard, all the initiative will return to his hands.
Even if it is an Op-Op Fruit user, he can change its owner at any time.
What's more, Law is just one of his backup plans.
However, the potential of Law, a member of the D family, is still very strong. And he is very suitable for the Op-Op Fruit and can even develop it until the point of awakening.
"Then I promise you, I hope you won't break your promise and deal with Doflamingo within three years!"
Law gritted his teeth and could only agree, because he saw that all his crew members had already been captured, and he himself could not defeat Basire, the Shichibukai.
"Hey, if you work hard, you can probably get rid of him in a year or two. Believe me, and believe in yourself too."
"Well, welcome to the Big Daddy Pirates, Surgeon of Death, Trafalgar Law!"
Basire laughed and said, slowly walking towards this new crew member who was full of cooperation and interests.
As for feelings and loyalty, they can be nurtured slowly, or they can just continue to deepen the entanglement of interests and become an inseparable part.
