"I told you, it's useless! Barrier impact!"
The shield suddenly transformed into a vertical barrier at this moment, pushing forward fiercely. Bellamy was taken aback; his fist instantly turned into a spring, propelling his body backwards while he kicked off with both feet, jumping into the air.
"Tch, did I miss?"
Bartolomeo raised his arms upward, and the barrier transformed back into a shield, enveloping him completely.
This guy's speed is too fast and erratic; single-direction defense is useless against him, only all-round defense works.
But Bartolomeo was confident his attacks couldn't break the barrier.
This was absolute defense!
No one could break it!
Bellamy bounced twice in the air, landed again, unwilling to give up, wanting to continue attacking. But at this moment, his pupils shrank, red dots flickered in his eyes, and he instinctively looked back.
"Finished!"
Elizabello II, who had been warming up and throwing punches since before the tournament started, had finally accumulated an hour's worth of power, his body steaming. Dagama quickly retreated, allowing him to face the enemy head-on, and he threw a straight punch with his gloved hand.
Boom!!
The ground was plowed open, a massive shockwave formed a straight line, blasting towards Bellamy and Bartolomeo, also kicking up a huge cloud of smoke.
In the midst of this impact, all the contestants still present on the platform were blown away, falling into the sea.
In front of Elizabello II, no one remained to resist.
"Hehehe, the power of our king's naturally strong body, not even the mighty Four Emperors can withstand this punch!"
"Stop joking!"
As soon as Dagama finished speaking, a voice rang out from above. Bellamy descended from the sky, kicked him in the face with both feet, and simultaneously swung a punch, striking the exhausted Elizabello II, sending both of them flying into the sea.
Bellamy stuck out his tongue, saying viciously, "That kind of power isn't enough to deal with the Four Emperors!"
When that punch was being delivered, Bellamy sensed danger, quickly using Moon Step to leap into the air, evading before the punch was even thrown.
If he really got hit with that kind of power, he couldn't withstand it either.
But as for taking out a Four Emperor with one punch...
It's just bragging!
The Four Emperors he had encountered were all monstrous figures, destroying fortresses was achievable, but only destroying a fortress...
This kind of power, those big shots could easily pull it off.
Moreover, this technique, Bellamy saw clearly, seemed to use external Haki.
After accumulating for so long, gathering all his power in one place, using Haki along with the impact to unleash power.
The time taken was too long, with many flaws.
Dodge it and you've won, no big deal, but...
Bellamy looked ahead and saw Bartolomeo still standing unharmed at the edge of the shattered platform, despite the massive power of the King's Fist, still unable to damage him.
"It's just the two of us left, you can't beat me."
Bartolomeo laughed, "Surrender, that Flame-Flame Fruit is mine, I will definitely offer it to that master!"
Bellamy smirked, "The General Commander told me that the Flame-Flame Fruit is not that important, this is the place to showcase my bravery. Doflamingo once looked down on me, but now I'm not the same, if I fall here, my long-held wish can't be fulfilled, and I'll embarrass Master Sage..."
He glanced at the destroyed platform, crouched down again, compressing into a spring, and as he unleashed wave after wave of impact, he looked up at Bartolomeo with a sinister smile:
"Your barrier is powerful, but... is the place you stand invincible too?"
Thump!
The shadow vanished, and in the air, Bellamy compressed his fists into the springs, with a massive impact shooting down like a cannonball, slamming into the empty space in front of Bartolomeo's barrier.
Boom!!!
The platform's edge shattered into pieces at this moment, forcing the once-confidently smiling Bartolomeo to freeze, instinctively looking down.
The edge of the platform had turned into debris, falling into the sea, leaving nowhere for him to stand. His legs instinctively paddled twice, and then...
He fell into the water.
"You despicable guy!!"
Bartolomeo clung to a rock in the water, floating his upper body at the surface, shouted to Bellamy, "Fight me fairly, what do you call this!"
"Call it victory!"
Bellamy grinned, looking down at him, "As long as I win, that's what matters, strategy is important too!"
Even if the King's Fist couldn't deal with this barrier, Bellamy didn't think he had that kind of power.
But the barrier couldn't be broken...
The place he stood, Bellamy was still able to break.
The Four Techniques of Haki, Hardening, Coiling, External Release, Destruction, he knew them all!
Among these techniques, there's no ranking, only suitable and unsuitable.
When Master Sage trained him before, he said that techniques aren't necessarily better the more advanced they are, they need to match oneself.
With his Haki, external release and destruction don't mean much, his ability type doesn't match external release and destruction either.
He'd rather hone his skills in Coiling, further enhancing his power.
But that doesn't mean he can't use it.
When it comes to people, he can't handle them, but with regular stones, he can easily destroy them.
"Oh! The winner is decided, Bartolomeo unexpectedly fell into the water, the only one standing is 'Hyena' Bellamy!"
