Chapter 65 The so-called power
'Are these people part of the Navy or the CP?'
Prominent horns emerged from Brett's forehead. While contemplating, his long and robust tail struck the ground, resulting in the solid surface fracturing.
Crack—
Currently, the only people intentionally seeking to create chaos for him while possessing this level of power must be the government.
Although neither the CP nor the Navy holds significant importance at present, they must die here.
Brett rotated his neck, causing the scales that enveloped his body to rub against each other, producing a pleasing rustling sound.
In front of him, an unfamiliar elderly man's eyes widened beneath his thick hair, "What, what is happening? This form! ! "
The fish-man standing before him had transformed into a red dragon-man, his body adorned with red scales and his horns ascending towards the skies.
It possesses a majestic appearance!
"How can this be! ! "
The old man found this hard to believe, suspecting that there might be an issue with his vision. Aside from the differing color, did this form and ability not mirror exactly Kaido's powers?
'This person possesses Kaido's abilities!'
He immediately recollected another detail. This Fishman had emerged from the waterway just moments ago, right? He even swam before surfacing!
'A devil fruit user that can swim!?'
He defied the fundamental laws of the sea.
At that moment, the old man realized that an immense secret was concealed within the fish-man before him.
'Could it be that Hager died because of this?'
"Very well, let me end this..."
The lightning coursing through Brett's body became increasingly radiant, "Marines. "
The anonymous old man was taken aback; 'this Fishman is astute.'
However, he replied, "Marines? I am uncertain about what you are referencing. "
Brett smirked.
Despite his verbal denial, his heart remained quite truthful.
'Yet the Marines. . . what a remarkable notion; they intend to infiltrate Fish-Man Island and secretly capture me?'
Had they possessed immense strength, they might have succeeded today.
Regrettably, in this world, there is no such thing as 'what if.'
"Be cautious! "
The old man warned sternly, "There is something amiss with this fishman! "
They had previously strategized to combat Brett, afterall they are a strong group with a Vice Admiral, Rear Admiral, Commodore and two captains.
"Yes! "
The other three marines nodded in agreement.
"Well then, are you prepared? "
The electricity crackling across Brett's body intensified, making his voice erratic, "I am about to strike. "
Like a fierce gale, akin to thunder, Brett propelled himself forward.
The old man's pupils constricted. 'So fast!'
His clothing tightened against his body, and his muscles expanded. The nameless old man quickly turned around and threw a punch.
He may not excel at observation haki, yet he is far from incompetent.
The pitch-black fist generated an icy gale that produced a sharp sound.
Swish~
However, Brett perceived additional noises.
As if taking a casual stroll, Brett transitioned from high velocity to complete stillness, allowing the dark fist to glide past him.
"What? "
The elderly man's eyes widened in astonishment. 'He is capable of observation haki?'
He had no opportunity for further contemplation before the brilliant lightning fully enveloped him.
"Thunder! "
Massive pillars of lightning ascended into the sky, weaving and twisting as if they were celestial dragons piercing the heavens and the earth.
"What the hell! ! "
One of the other three marines, compelled to retreat by the thunder, gazed at the lightning shooting into the sky and shouted in terror.
Can even a Vice Admiral endure an assault of this magnitude?
Before he could articulate any further thoughts, a tall figure enveloped in lightning appeared before the trio in a flash.
"Bastard! ! Let's strike together! "
One among the three bellowed, suddenly vanishing. When he reappeared, he stood beside Brett, his fingers emanating armament haki as he jabbed towards Brett with one finger.
Simultaneously, another person lunged forth, extending his right leg straight and tearing through the air with a fierce kick.
Thud.
Two soft sounds resonated almost simultaneously, making it impossible to ascertain the sequence.
"What? " Both marines were taken aback simultaneously.
Whether it was the armament haki jab or the powerful whipping kick, neither had any effect when they struck the creature before them.
It was akin to colliding with a massive rock at sea, failing to cause any movement whatsoever!
The force felt incredibly light.
Brett reached out, seizing the hand of the one who had poked him and grasping the leg of the one who had struck, as he sighed inwardly.
The dragon scales bestowed by his abilities, the formidable physique inherited from Kaido's bloodline, and the defensive properties derived from the original diamond fish lineage combined, making him exceptionally resilient at present.
With a casual motion of his hands, the two marines wailed as they were hurled upwards. Simultaneously, the violent thunder coursed through his arms and subsequently to the two marines.
"Release them! "
The final marine charged toward him with a roar.
'He is likely the strongest of the three.' Brett thought to himself.
Brett announced, "Hot breath. "
The searing flames coalesced into a pillar of fire, radiating a brilliant golden hue. In an instant, it erupted violently, striking the advancing marine and completely engulfing him, sending him flying away.
"aaaAAHH ! "
Screaming, the flames fully enveloped the marine's form, as he tumbled on the ground, yet the flames showed no signs of extinguishing. Instead, they spread across the ground, igniting it until it began to melt.
The cries were fleeting, as the marine ceased his movements and were merely engulfed in flames.
"You bastard! ! "
A shout emanated from the rear.
Brett's body rose promptly to evade the oncoming attack from behind.
The elder's hair and beard had entirely vanished.
What remained was a bald head and a short, bristly beard.
The previous appearance was indeed a facade. His actual age appeared to be significantly younger, perhaps in his fifties.
'Yet, his identity remained unknown to me.'
Brett overpowered the two marines he had seized. and threw them.
Vice Admiral Balian, preparing to leap into the air to chase after Brett, clenched his teeth and reached to secure his two subordinates.
'We have underestimated him greatly. His power surpasses what he has displayed!'
Brett took a deep breath, summoning a strong gust of wind around him.
"Breath of Thunder and Fire! ! "
Lightning intertwined with flames, manifesting as a destructive beam that descended.
Concurrently, a massive tornado formed, mingling with the flames and expanding instantly, transforming into an enormous thunder and fire tornado that engulfed the surroundings and rapidly consuing the marines he threw.
The thunder and fire tornado wreaked havoc, illuminating the night sky of this coral forest.
Brett descended gently onto the ground.
His abilities was consistently advancing with enhanced proficiency and the growth of his own strength.
His power had grown significantly since the time he defeated Hager.
Before the thunder and fire tornado vanished, a figure emerged from within it.
"You bastard! ! "
The man, shrouded in darkness and enveloped in armament haki, bellowed, with some areas of his body even ignited by flames.
"Bring it on."
Brett assumed a position, with his arms enveloped in armament haki.
With a flash, Balian vanished and reappeared before Brett. His fists unleashed a relentless flurry, transforming into a storm that directly targeted Brett.
Brett remained entirely focused, his vision sharpened to the maximum, as he strained to perceive the sounds emanating from his enemy.
"I heard. "
Brett chuckled and then raised his fist.
The fist that was surrounded by Thunder swiftly transformed into a multitude of meteors!
Bump, bump, bump! !
The noise of intense impacts was incessant.
Balian's eyes opened wide. 'He's meeting my every strike.'
"Too slow. "
Brett beamed as clouds emanated from him and surged toward Balian.
'Does he really possess Kaido's abilities?'
Balian retreated and struck Brett's cloud with two punches.
However, in the next instant, Balian sensed his legs being constrained and his body being forced downward.
He looked down in astonishment.
It was the tail.
Brett's tail was wrapped around his right ankle.
"Got you."
Brett smirked.
Thunder boldly approached once more.
"Ugh! ! "
Balian, engulfed by lightning, even enveloped with armament haki, he could not suppress his scream.
This time, escape was not even a possibility.
"Hot breath! ! "
Flames coalesced into a pillar, erupted upon Balian's body, and then blazed fiercely. Simultaneously, Brett's tail ascended, crashing Balian into the ground, creating an enormous hole and causing thick fissures to spread.
Boom—
The thunder ceased momentarily, and Brett tightened his fists, while even more brilliant lightning coursed along his arms.
Haki enhances the body, indicating it can endure a greater intensity of thunder transformation.
"You bastard! ! "
Balian, launched from the hole with his body ablaze, roared in fury.
Regrettably, after enduring multiple attacks of thunder and fire, his body had weakened significantly.
Fingergun - siege gun!
The muscles throughout his body were tensed to the utmost limit, executing his most powerful strike!
Brett grinned slightly.
"Electrical current- Shockwave punch! "
As the electricity surged suddenly, Brett punched the air, generating a massive shockwave, as if the air had split apart.
Bump!
Click.
"Grhh! ! "
The sounds of fist impacts, dislocated bones, and muffled cries of agony occurred almost simultaneously.
Balian's wrist became dislocated, rendering it impossible for him to tighten his grip.
His expression was vacant, and his armament haki was evidently diminished.
Nevertheless, Brett's onslaught persisted.
"Let's end it. Electric current push - Giant Shark Hundred Split Fist! "
The last sight Balian beheld was a multitude of fists filling the sky.
