Chapter 428: Invincible
Brett's fist had already sunk deep into the golden Buddha's massive palm.
After his Haki shattered, Sengoku's defenseless palm began melting—first skin, then flesh, then bone.
Combined with Brett's all-out punch, Sengoku's palm had a massive hole punched straight through. The Buseiryu's formidable waves even spread up Sengoku's arm.
Flames transformed into waves at this moment. This time—super waves mixed from thunder, flames, and Haki!
The golden Buddha's right arm fractured. Blood spurted forth.
Cracks spread all the way to his shoulder and right chest. The golden Buddha seemed ready to shatter.
"AHHHHH!!"
Sengoku screamed. His massive body spun like a top, then flew backward.
"Too strong!!"
Skull turned aside. The massive golden Buddha flew past before his eyes, crashing directly into the rear base building.
"That's the Fleet Admiral!"
Right—the Fleet Admiral!
Critically injured and removed from battle in one move?!
Ryokugyu immediately sucked in a sharp breath.
"This isn't funny, Brett-san!"
Brett couldn't pursue. Light gathered behind him. Kizaru wielding a light-sword slashed toward his lower back.
However, Brett heard everything extremely clearly.
Whether the future or the sound of Kizaru's attack—all these movements couldn't escape Brett's ears.
The instant Kizaru swung his sword, Brett vanished from his position again. Amid flying dust, Brett had instantly appeared before Ryokugyu.
"Is this speed even legal?!"
Ryokugyu screamed in panic. But his fists hadn't forgotten to clench tight. After wrapping them in Haki, they crashed down toward Brett like twin hammers.
Yet Brett still heard very clearly. He merely shifted slightly as Ryokugyu's attack arrived—already perfectly evading the Admiral's strike.
His reaction ability had also reached world-shocking standards.
"How disgraceful! Just a moment's lapse led to this situation!"
Fujitora also lamented loudly. He swung his staff-sword. "Hell's Journey!!"
The ground beneath Brett's feet instantly shattered and collapsed. His body became abnormally heavy, beginning to fall.
Fujitora was manipulating gravity.
"Excellent! Control him like that!"
Kizaru reformed behind Brett again. He was light—such gravity couldn't bend him. "Light-Speed Kick!"
Simultaneously, Ryokugyu also shouted. "Just stay still!"
From cracks in the ground, countless branches and vines suddenly erupted—directly wrapping Brett in the middle.
"This is bad!"
On the precarious execution platform, Ace couldn't help crying out.
Brett—who'd held overwhelming advantage moments ago—had already fallen into dire straits in an eyeblink!
However—
The next moment, flames and lightning erupted simultaneously. Whether Kizaru, Ryokugyu, the vines, or Fujitora—all were instantly engulfed.
A massive fire pillar became twisted in violent winds. Incredibly brilliant lightning resembled long dragons appearing and disappearing within flames.
Dazzling light instantly burst from flames, then condensed Kizaru's form high above. "Whew~ Almost thought I'd melt! This terrifying heat is truly scary~"
After Kizaru came Fujitora. The fire pillar broke open a gap. A purple figure shot out. Unlike Kizaru who could elegantly elementalize and escape, flames still clung to Fujitora's body.
Fortunately he possessed gravity manipulation ability. Purple halos rippled—flames spreading on him were all repelled.
Flames gradually dissipated. The truly terrifying heat finally slowly receded, revealing Brett's appearance in the center. The black flame armor wrapping his body had vanished with the earlier flame eruption. Only electrical light still leaped across his body radiating dense heat.
Beneath his feet lay a massive crater. The ground had melted then evaporated—flames had burned a deep pit into existence.
Before him, on the half-molten ground, a sapling suddenly grew—then this sapling grew into Ryokugyu's form.
"That was close!"
Ryokugyu wiped sweat from his forehead, couldn't help saying. "Thought I'd become firewood!"
He paused, then shouted hoarsely. "Can't do it, Issho-san, Borsalino-san! This guy's ability completely counters me! Can't fight him at all!"
He'd eaten the natural-type Woods-Woods Fruit—a plant-man. Plants naturally feared fire, right?
And Brett's flames were terrifyingly powerful!
"Though I'd long heard of Brett-san's strength, actually witnessing it still makes me sigh. This is probably true world's strongest."
Fujitora sighed. His Justice coat had already flown who-knows-where. His purple kimono had become tattered. "But no choice. Can only steel ourselves and charge forward, right?"
"Yes, no second option now~"
Kizaru snapped his fingers. In the sky, numerous light spheres began condensing again.
"Then let me change the battlefield!!"
Ryokugyu roared, hands smashing the ground again.
Then instantly, countless plants erupted from the ground—directly transforming the entire plaza into primeval forest.
This should be Awakening, right?
Countless trees and vines swept toward Brett.
Brett simply began breathing fire.
Flames again coiled around his body—again clothing him in flame armor.
Then the trees and vines had already begun burning to nothing.
"Starting with you."
Brett shot forward. He directly crashed through the forest. Target: Ryokugyu!
"Don't forget about me~"
Accompanying a leisurely voice, countless light beams fell from the sky.
Brett began dodging.
The beams fell astonishingly fast.
But no matter—as long as he could see the future, this meant nothing.
Brett's massive body shuttled through the light rain like a fly—easily evading Kizaru's attacks.
When truly unable to dodge due to size, electrical light leaping from his body had already directly detonated the light.
"Fierce Tiger!"
Purple sword waves also spanned the forest, approaching.
Brett instantly retreated—evading the gravity slash while spinning. The next instant he'd already pounced directly before Fujitora.
"So you're targeting this old man?"
Fujitora gripped his blade. Gravity coiled around it. He merely slashed horizontally.
Brett felt like what approached wasn't a blade—but a mountain peak.
However—
"Too slow."
Brett already possessed the world's strongest reflexes. Plus foresight—he needed absolutely no reaction or thinking time. Even as Fujitora swung, he'd already dodged with a deflection.
Purple sword waves swept the entire field.
Brett closed in. Fujitora couldn't retract his blade in time.
"I said don't ignore me!"
Kizaru reformed behind Brett again. Raising his light-sword, he slashed.
However fast Brett moved, such time sufficed for Kizaru to react.
However, Brett's lips curved upward.
"Electric Current Push—Secret Art—King—Arabesque Brick Fist!"
Brett's body violently trembled.
Then—with his body as center—360-degree spherical shockwaves began expanding.
Flames, thunder, Haki—all transformed into waves.
Astonishing impact instantly engulfed both Kizaru and Fujitora.
