In One Piece With The Barrier Fruit

Amid much attention, the first World Martial Arts Tournament finally arrived.

Under Basire's announcement, countless strong people started to compete for the title of the strongest in their own fields.

There are swordsmen, boxers, kick skills, marksmanship... even cooking and music competitions.

The title of the most powerful person in the world must be reserved for the final competition.

After all, these world's greatest swordsmen and world's greatest shooters who emerged from their respective decisive battles will also participate in the competition for the title of the world's strongest.

Among so many competitions, the competition for the world's greatest swordsman was the most exciting and fierce.

There were a lot of legendary strong men participating, but there are always some true swordsmen who are fearless.

Supernovas like Zoro and Cavendish have appeared in duels one after another. Even if they know they are probably going to lose, they still have to see the strength of these powerful swordsmen.

However, true strength is not about defeating your opponent with just your passion.

Amid the lively cheers, the final of the world's greatest swordsman competition fell to Mihawk and Shanks.

Zoro defeated Denjiro, defeated Cavendish, but still lost miserably at the hands of Mihawk.

Although Zoro was seriously injured, his determination to reach the peak of swordsmanship became stronger than ever, and he vowed to defeat Mihawk in the next tournament.

Rayleigh defeated several swordsmen. After meeting Shanks, he fought him casually for a while and then left the stage voluntarily.

In the finals, Shanks, who didn't want to fight hard, lost to Mihawk's black sword, allowing Mihawk to regain his position as the world's greatest swordsman in front of the whole world.

The reputation of the Red-Haired Shanks of the original Four Emperors has also declined sharply like Roger the Pirate King. Rayleigh and the remnants of the Pirate King's crew have lost their former glory and have become the remnants of the past era, slowly losing their intimidation factor.

As each competition came to an end, one week later, the most important competition for the best in the world began.

One by one, powerful devil fruit users burst onto the scene.

Under Basire's permission, even strong Marines like Akainu can participate in the battle.

Fujitora and Kuzan, who are not interested in fame and fortune, did not participate, not to mention that they have to maintain order, and Kizaru, who has always done his best to evade troublesome things, certainly did not wish to participate in these tiring fights. Isn't it fun to just watch the show?

On the contrary, the old man Garp also participated. He seemed to want to take advantage of this competition to beat Akainu upright.

But Akainu dismissed this. He was not afraid of Garp's fists at all.

If he really faced Garp, he wouldn't mind opening a few bloody holes in this old man's chest, just like he did to Whitebeard.

And in the last war, Akainu accumulated a lot of anger, and now he urgently needs to release it before he explodes.

Take advantage of this tournament to vent all his anger.

···

Seeing these contestants with so many grievances against each other, Basire showed a smile.

With the registration list in hand, Basire directly used his privileges to select who would fight who.

Looking at Shanks and Rayleigh's names, he decided their opponents with a laugh.

"I just want to see if you guys are really equal!"

Basire also wanted to know what these guys would choose, whether they would fight to the end or surrender.

[Bullet Vs Rayleigh]

[Mihawk Vs Shanks]

[Akainu Vs Garp]

[Luffy Vs Sabo]

[Shiryu Vs Zoro]

···

If Dragon, Redfield, and Kong hadn't declined to participate, Basire would have really wanted to see them all fight again to see what would happen in the end.

Seeing these draws, Dragon, who was watching the battle from the floating island, was also very helpless. He didn't know if he should intervene later.

If Garp really can't beat Akainu and refuses to admit defeat, he is really worried that his father will be beaten to death by Akainu.

After all, Garp is old now and his strength is not as good as before.

As soon as these draws came out, there were sparks in the eyes of these people, especially the two ruthless guys Bullet and Sakazuki, who both looked like they wanted to beat their opponents to death.

Basire wanted to see the battle between Akainu and Garp the most. He just wanted to see if this Marine hero really had the strength to kill Akainu.

This time there is no Sengoku to hold down Garp, so they can fight to their heart's content.

"I hope you don't disappoint me."

Basire smiled calmly. At the same time, he also wanted to see what the sworn brothers, Luffy and Sabo, considered more important: brotherhood or victory.

He also wants to see if Zoro, the guy who used to clamor to cut through his barrier, can cut through Shiryu's diamond defense.

If he can't even cut through diamonds, then he should forget about cutting through his invincible barrier.

Shanks didn't fight seriously against Mihawk in the world's greatest swordsman competition. Will he admit defeat this time?

If he really dares to admit defeat without fighting, then the reputation of the former Yonkō will really fall to the bottom.

Bullet was able to fight Rayleigh equally back then when he was with the Roger Pirates, but now Basire gave him a chance to defeat Rayleigh head-on, gain reputation, and satisfy Bullet's fighting desire and vanity.

···

After drawing lots, Basire laughed and announced the start of the competition.

If you can show your face in this tournament and get a ranking, even if your position is in the tens or hundreds, you can boast in the world.

So there were still many people participating.

Most of these contests were insignificant, but they still attracted the attention of many civilians.

But Basire only focused on the wonderful duels he arranged.

The first match was between Luffy and Sabo.

One who claims to have eaten the Paramecia Rubber Fruit, but is actually the protagonist who has the Mythical Zoan Fruit: Sun God Nika, and the other is the sworn brother of the protagonist in the form of the Mythical Zoan Fruit: Fire God Vulcan.

When the two met, they just continued to reminisce about the past and talk about their dreams. Their expressions and smiles seemed like they wanted to chat until night, but soon they had no choice but to fight amid the boos from the audience.

"We all have reasons why we can't lose, so let's rely on our true abilities, Luffy!"

Sabo shouted with confidence, Luffy was taught by Rayleigh, but he was also taught by powerful men like Kuma and Dragon.

Before Luffy had even heard of Haki, Sabo was already proficient in using two-color Haki, participating in various wars with the Revolutionary Army and liberating those oppressed countries.

When the Summit War broke out, Sabo had just participated in a war to liberate a country. After seeing the news of Fire Fist Ace's death, his lost memory was slowly restored.

Moreover, the flames of Vulcan, the god of fire, are also very powerful against Luffy's Rubber Fruit, so Sabo has to crush and beat Luffy in all aspects like he did when he was a child to show that he's still his big brother.
