General Lanlin of One Piece

"Damn it! Get away from me! You monster!"

Seeing Totemjika suddenly blocking the way, Beckman and Aokiji were both furious and attacked together without stopping.

The long sword wrapped in domineering color and the icy air blasted out from the left and right, bombarding Totemjika all over the place.

Totemjika had a grim smile on his face and swung his arms down, showing no fear of Beckman and Aokiji who were attacking at the same time.

The high-pitched and piercing demonic music turned into tangible notes surrounding its body, like a domineering armor, blocking all the cold waves from Aokiji. The huge scaled hand that stretched out rapidly smashed into Beckman's domineering slash. Amid the deafening explosion, Beckman groaned and was actually knocked away by Totemjika.

But at the same time, Yixiao and Shanks also moved.

Shanks, whose body was severely burned by the lightning from Enel, flashed and in the blink of an eye, he rushed to the center of countless tentacles and slashed down vertically at Barrett's body.

With a swish, Griffin, who was shrouded in domineering color, cut Barrett's disgusting body open with one knife without any hindrance, revealing the inside of the body that was stuck together by countless flesh granulations.

"Luffy!"

With the lock of observation Haki, Shanks chopped left and right, and soon found Luffy who was swallowed deep inside the countless wriggling flesh buds.

He quickly reached out, grabbed Luffy's right arm, and pulled him out of the flesh buds that were rolling and squirming like maggots.

There was a crisp sound of "pop", and the force pulling Shanks' hand suddenly loosened.

The next moment, his eyes suddenly widened, and he stared blankly at Luffy in his hands. His body felt like it was suddenly in an ice cave, and he felt cold all over!

He saw that Luffy, whom he rescued, was only left with the upper body, and the lower half of the body was torn apart by him when he pulled it just now!

The normal flesh and blood of the broken body part turned into the same dark red flesh granulations that were wriggling and twisting like those on Barrett's body. They extended from the wound on Luffy's broken body, like countless floating red worms, making people's scalp tingle and their whole body cold.

"Barrett, Barrett!!"

"What the hell did you do to Luffy, you bastard?!"

"make him……"

"give me back!!"

At this moment, countless chaotic emotions were surging in Shanks' heart. His calmness was thrown out of the window, and a trace of panic appeared on his face.

He closed his eyes and pulled Luffy, whose life or death was unknown, behind him. The thick and domineering armor on his body turned into substance, wrapping Luffy for protection. He reached out again and drew his sword, slashing at Barrett's body.

The magnificent blade light slashed down wildly, countless granulations were cut and severed, and corrosive pus splashed out from the broken granulations, splashing onto Shanks' body, corroding his domineering armor, staining his body, and corroding his body, which was already burned by electric shock, into shocking blood holes.

But Shanks ignored it and continued swinging like a madman.

"Give Luffy's body back to me!!"

Amid the sound of chopping, he finally saw Luffy's lower body.

No, that's not right.

That can no longer be considered Luffy's body.

Because Luffy's lower body has been assimilated into Barrett's body, turning into a strange flesh and blood composed of countless wriggling flesh buds, which are sticking and gluing to the surrounding flesh walls and buds, and are gradually integrating into Barrett's strange body and becoming one with him.

"Merge with me... and become one!"

"Shanks."

Deep inside the squirming flesh, there was a sudden split, revealing Barrett's cold and ruthless square face.

He looked at Shanks, who was in shock, anger, panic and collapse. His eyes suddenly widened, revealing a dazzling red light.

"Pfft!"

Two red lights flashed in his eyes.

Shanks groaned, his body flew backwards, and two bloody holes appeared on his chest, running through it from front to back.

Before he could fly far, a dozen tentacles on Barrett's abnormal body entangled with each other and turned into a giant arm, which opened in the air. Black gas swirled in the palm of his hand, and a huge suction force exploded, pulling Shanks who was flying backwards back.

"Dark Water!"

At the same time, dozens of tentacles glued together and turned into another giant arm. The fist was buzzing with shock waves, and it punched Shanks on the head.

"Air shock!"

"Boom!"

A clear depression exploded in the air, and the domineering armor on Shanks' body collapsed. His body fell like a meteorite, smashing into the ground where black air was surging, and then he was pulled by the endless black air towards the depths of the dark space.

"Dark acupoint!"

Shanks struggled hard and roared continuously, but he was unable to break free from the black air and tentacles around him, and was swallowed up bit by bit by the endless darkness.

"Gravity Blade! Slay the Dragon!"

A smile's roar sounded at the right time, and the next moment, an invisible gravity field came crashing down, pressing Barrett, who had grown countless tentacles, to the ground, and countless flesh buds exploded.

The dark space filled with black energy was also blasted open by the gravity field, allowing Shanks to break free and escape.

However, Luffy, who was pulled out by him, was caught back by Barrett's tentacles again and stuffed deep into the torn flesh.

"Don't worry about me! Save Luffy!" Shanks waved at Ichimi who wanted to come and rescue him, and shouted hoarsely.

"give it to me!"

He smiled and waved at Luffy who was about to be swallowed by Barrett's body.

"A hundred times gravity field! Star shooting!"

Luffy's upper body was imprisoned by the invisible gravity, as if it was being tightly grasped by an invisible giant hand, and the countless tentacles on Barrett's body were snatching food from his mouth.

With a smile and a roar, he exerted the power of the Juju Fruit to its fullest extent and pulled Luffy out from the depths of the piled and surging flesh buds.

However, his action seemed to anger Barrett.

Countless flesh buds on Barrett's body split to both sides, turning into a ferocious mouth. With a roar, the storm-like domineering aura swept across the eight directions, stunning hundreds of thousands of people around him.

But a being of Yixiao's level would obviously not be affected by his domineering nature.

But with this roar, the thousands of tentacles on Barrett's body became manic at this moment, and gave up attacking Kizaru, Zephyr, and Shanks. They all gathered together, stuck to each other, and turned into a huge mouth with a diameter of over a thousand meters, swallowing the smile in front of them in one gulp.

With a "boom!", Luffy was rescued, but he was unable to extricate himself in time and was swallowed by the big mouth.

"Smile! Luffy!"

Shanks' voice became hoarse, and he shook off the surrounding darkness and rushed over here.

Immediately afterwards, there was another loud bang.

The sky-devouring mouth that had just closed suddenly exploded, and countless flesh and blood splattered everywhere. A blood-stained smile flew out of it and was thrown far away.

But Luffy, who was rescued by him, disappeared!

"He is mine, and no one can take him away."

From deep within the churning flesh, Barrett's face emerged, and he uttered a voice without any emotion.

The disappeared Luffy was embedded in the back of his head, dragged by countless flesh buds, and sank into his body little by little.

Luffy's body was changing rapidly, his skin and flesh dissolving, collapsing, and being assimilated into the same dark red granulation flesh as the surrounding area.

The surrounding adhesions of granulation tissue kept piling up on his body, or drilling into his body, and even into his head and facial features!

Shanks could feel that Luffy's life force, instead of weakening further, suddenly increased strangely!

It seemed that as the granulations on Barrett's body penetrated into Luffy's body, his vitality was recovering rapidly, and it seemed that his injuries would heal at any time.

However, there was no joy on Shanks' face, but instead it was full of anxiety and anger.

Because he knew that Luffy's condition was not that he was recovering, but that he was being parasitized, assimilated, and... fused by the monster Barrett!

Once Barrett completely devours Luffy, Luffy will definitely become Blackbeard, like Ryder, with his body and soul controlled by the monster Barrett.

By then, it is unknown whether Luffy can return to normal.

He absolutely couldn't see that ending happen before his eyes.

"Barrett! You lunatic! Let Luffy go!!"

He roared and rushed again with Yixiao, trying to rescue Luffy.

But at this moment, Beckman, who was fighting with Totumjika not far behind him, suddenly shouted at Shanks.

"Shanks! Kill Luffy!"

"What?" Yixiao, who was trying hard to control the gravity field to confine Barrett, was stunned.

Shanks, Aokiji, Kizaru, and Zephyr were also stunned.

Aokiji thought he had heard it wrong. While releasing a large amount of cold wave to freeze Totemjika, he turned to look at Beckman, but heard Beckman shouting again.

"Kill Luffy! Quick!"

Aokiji's expression turned cold, and he stopped attacking Totemjika and turned to look at Beckman.

"Beckman, what are you... talking about?"

"If you don't want to see Barrett swallow Luffy and assimilate him, there seems to be only one way now. Kill Luffy before he succeeds!"

Beckman screamed: "Luffy's ability is the Rubber Fruit, which can evolve into the legendary Animal-type Human-Human Fruit Mythical Beast, the Sun God Nika form. And the Sun God Nika is immortal! As long as his heart beats again and plays the drum of liberation, he will be resurrected again and become the Sun God!"

"But these are just legends recorded in ancient history. We have never confirmed its authenticity. And Luffy's rubber fruit ability has not reached the level of awakening..." Shanks understood what Beckman meant, but he was hesitant.

He didn't dare to gamble, he didn't dare to take Luffy's life, his eight hundred years of fate, and the future of this world.

"There's no time! Go for it!"

"Noisy bugs!"

Beckman screamed and was slapped by Totumjika. His body broke and bleed spurted out. He flew backwards from Aokiji's front.

Aokiji did not go to rescue him, but just stood there, watching from afar Luffy, who had only half of his upper body and a head left and was about to be completely swallowed by Barrett.

Shanks' right hand, which was holding the Griffin long sword, was shaking.

Want to bet?

If the bet is lost, does the world have to wait another eight hundred years?

The will inherited from Roger will end in this era.

"Luffy……"

He stared blankly at Luffy, who was left with only a head, his eyes closed, his face gradually turning red, but his eyes, ears, mouth and nose had been penetrated by countless dark red granulations. He shook his wrist and suddenly swung the knife!

"sorry!"

The next moment, a magnificent blade light burst out from his long sword, tearing apart the entangled tentacles in front of him, cutting through the darkness, shattering Barrett's face, and cutting on Luffy's remaining head!

"laugh!"

The sword pierced into the bone, cutting through the flesh, but Luffy's head did not separate from his neck.

At the critical moment, what hit his head was not the blade of Griffin's long knife, but the back of the knife!

The slash turned into a hammer blow, the corner of Shanks' eye was cracked, tears of blood flowed, and he smashed Luffy's forehead with a sad and angry knife.
