"What if I refuse?"

A cold sweat ran down Festa's forehead.

Roy could see that Festa was moved by his own words, but he had an obsession with Roger and still insisted on his own ideas.

"Then forget it."

Roy shrugged.

Festa is just thinking too much, refusing to refuse, what can he do?

He is not a murderous person, and when he met Festa today, it was a coincidence, and he wanted to communicate with Festa on a whim.

Wooing Festa is because he knows that Festa will not succeed, and he wants to persuade him to take a different path - since Festa is not interested in this goal and does not plan to listen to him, then he really does not intend to force Festa to do this.

The moment Festa's head was hit by reality and bled out, he might regret it.

"So be it."

With that, Roy turned to leave.

"Wait!"

A low, distinctly non-Festa voice resounded in the sand.

"Anything else?"

Roy narrowed his eyes, turned to look behind him, and suddenly appeared next to Festa, an inverted triangle-shaped, muscular man.

"I'd like to talk to you." The man said.

"Gladly."

Roy stared at the man for a few seconds and smiled.

This man is the one who has been lurking around, never showing up, but knowing each other, the one Roy is waiting for.

Douglas Barrett.

One Piece, Gore M. D. Roger's former crew member.

This is the guy who even called the crew of Reilly's One Piece who was once on the same ship as him.

It can be seen with the naked eye that when Barrett appeared next to Festa, Festa's face quickly turned white, and it seemed that it was a little difficult to withstand the power that Barrett inadvertently exuded.

Da-da-da-da!

Barrett slowly approached Roy.

Swish!

In an instant, the terrifying momentum moved to Roy's head like the dark clouds in the sky on a rainy day.

At this moment, Roy's hair stood on end.

He felt an indescribable terrifying aura from Barrett, and the air around him became distorted, and he was subconsciously a little nervous.

Immediately, Roy dispelled the momentum influence from Barrett, and said lightly: "What you want to talk to me about shouldn't be about Roger, right?" ”

"No, I'm interested in what you just said."

Barrett was blunt.

He said, "You inspired me, Roy - it is true that the attack on the Draconians will achieve the goal faster than the previous plan of me and Festa. Interested in collaborating? ”

"How to cooperate?" Roy asked.

"I'll help you kill the Draconians, but you have to make sure that I can challenge the Demon Slaying Order."

Barrett's lips twitched.

His mountain-like body stood in front of Roy, and a huge shadow covered Roy, making Roy unable to see the light, but Roy did not panic at all.

"Demon Slayer Order?"

After a moment's silence, he nodded bitterly.

"Deal!"

……

Roy doesn't know much about Barrett, but he knows that just as Festa has an inexplicable obsession with Roger, Barrett also has an unimaginable obsession with the Demon Slayer Order.

This may have something to do with what happened to Barrett when he was younger.

Barrett is known to have been Roger's crew member and joined the Roger Pirates because he wanted to defeat Roger. However, after Ralph Drew's return, he learned that Roger was suffering from a terminal illness with no cure, and was devastated, and after failing to challenge Roger for the last time, he quit Roger's pirates and became a lone traveler.

After Roger's execution, Barrett completely lost his goal and began to go on a rampage, which was regarded as a great threat by the Navy and was pursued by the Navy with all its might.

Eventually, when he was 22 years old, the Navy launched a demon slaying order against him in order to eliminate him.

Barrett's physical strength was gradually depleted by the Demon Slaying Order, and the pirates he had previously defeated also launched a surprise attack, and he was finally defeated and imprisoned in Advance City.

Experiencing defeat again, Barrett re-established his goal as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

Just like when he set his goal as Roger.

Now, in this era when Roger is dead, Barrett can only say that he has surpassed Roger and become "the strongest in the world" by challenging the Demon Slayer Order, who also defeated him.

Then again, the reason why this thing escaped from Advance City was related to the riot in Advance City before the Battle of the Top.

In this respect, Roy was also one of Barrett's benefactors.

It is worth mentioning that in the more than 20 years since he advanced the city, Barrett not only gave birth to the idea of resisting the Demon Slayer Order, but also made up his mind to become "the strongest One Piece in the world beyond Roger", that is, to kill all the strong people in the world, including the "Four Emperors" and the Admiral.

For more than 20 years, he has been exercising non-stop.

Although Hailou Shi suppressed his abilities, it could not destroy his physique.

Those who have adapted to the ability of Hailou Stone are very terrifying.

The effect of weakness becomes infinitely smaller in them.

Except for the inability to use their abilities and their inability to break free from Hailou Stone, they are almost no different from other physical powerhouses.

You must know that as early as more than 20 years ago, the teenage Barrett was already the strongest person on Roger's Pirate ship, except for Roger, even the "Right Wrist of One Piece", the Hades King Reilly, who was at the peak of his combat power at that time, could not defeat Barrett, and could only draw with him.

Now, more than 20 years later, Hades Reilly is old.

But, Barrett is in his prime.

The more than 20 years of being trapped in the city did not polish his edges and corners, but completely polished him into a shining diamond.

After saying the word "deal", Roy looked at Barrett, and many thoughts quickly flashed through his mind.

As a former navy, of course he knows that the navy is equipped with a golden phone bug and a silver phone bug, the golden phone bug is used to notify the demon slaying order, and the silver phone bug is used to receive notifications. Both are in the hands of the Admiral and the Admiral, and the Golden Phone Bug can also be licensed to someone to use.

As far as Roy knew, the people who had used the golden phone bug on this sea, excluding admirals and marshals, included the father and son Spandain and Spandham. Both were former leaders of CP9.

"What are you going to do?" Barrett asked Roy.

"Let me think about it, I have a thought for the time being, but I can't say something yet, and I have to think about it carefully." Roy Road.

The serious communication between the two made Festa on the side stunned and almost petrified.

What?

You're hooking up with each other?

Especially Barrett, about cooperation, didn't we say it first?

You clearly said that you will work with me to destroy all the pirates on this sea and help me usher in a new era!

Obviously I came first, obviously I knew you first......

Festa was aggrieved and depressed, like an abandoned little daughter-in-law.
