Rumble! Rumble!

Tread, tread.

The roar of artillery fire, the sound of chaotic footsteps, and the sound of frantic shouts of killing rang in my ears.

A young boy with a gun rushes to the fortress in front of him, and the next moment he is blown up into the sky by a mine buried in their path.

"It's."

Familiar figures ran past him, the uniform that happened to be the uniform of his junior soldier in the bullet unit, and these were his colleagues at the time.

Everyone was fighting for the titular medal, and Barrett himself seemed to run forward uncontrollably, but just as he was about to succeed, he was pushed by the man behind him.

It was the first time he had been betrayed, and the betrayal on the battlefield cost Barrett almost half his life, but he eventually crawled back from hell.

At this moment, his thoughts are not to resent the betrayal of his companions, but to hate his own weakness, as long as he is strong enough that no one dares to betray him, then no one can betray him?

As soon as the screen turned, the medal had already appeared in his hand, and in front of him was the General Gray, who seemed to have just finished the award ceremony.

"By the way, those guys are dead."

He doesn't hold a grudge, but that doesn't mean he won't take revenge, and now there are only the last of his bullet troops left, and those people have all died on the battlefield or at Barrett's own hands.

[Barrett, win this last war for our country, as long as you win, you will be the hero of the country. 】

Looking at the medal in his hand, Barrett did his best in the battle, but his strength caused Gray to be afraid, and unsurprisingly, he was betrayed again.

The picture turned again, and he had come to the sea, and the army, the generals, and the country, all of which had been destroyed in his hands, and he had begun his own voyage.

He rushed into the sea as a tiger descending the mountain, and for a while no one could stop him, which also made Barrett suspicious, lost his goal, and began to destroy aimlessly, until Roger appeared.

He stayed on the ship, challenged Roger from time to time, worked hard to surpass him, and even began to be affected by Roger's environment on the ship, changing his original mind.

If he can stay here, maybe Barrett can come out of the extreme.

But at this moment, Roger fell ill, and he suffered from a disease that could never be cured.

This made Barrett confused again, especially when he saw that Roger could still face everyone with a smile after knowing his death, he became even more puzzled.

There are not many people who know exactly when death will come, and who can still greet death with a smile.

protection

At that moment, he even had the idea of wanting to protect Roger, but in the end, he emptied that thought from his mind and left the Roger Pirates after challenging Roger again.

"Barrett, it looks like you still don't understand the meaning of guarding."

In this moment, Barrett seems to see Roger, and the marquee ends.

Usually there are only two situations for people who are caught in the marquee, either they are ready to sit-ups to open the halo, or they are about to go offline, so they will recall everything in the past in a blink of an eye.

"Fuck off! I'm going to surpass you, Roger, and I'm going to surpass you and become the strongest."

Barrett's heart roared, and Roger's voice finally disappeared from his mind, but his body did not hesitate because of this, and still swung his fist hard.

"Kaido! You are the highest step in front of me, and I am going to step on your corpse to prove that I have surpassed him! ”

"Uh-huh, Roger is long gone! I've failed many times, but now I won't fail, and if I lose to you, that girl will laugh at me for years! ”

Kaido in the past also has his own goals to pursue, and there is also a figure that he wants to surpass, but as he said, those are in the past tense, and they are what Kaido did in the past.

Now he is the leader of this era, he is already at the forefront, he does not want to replicate the old ways of his predecessors, he longs for the treasure of One Piece, but does not want to follow Roger's mysterious ideas.

He wants to use this to create his own era.

"Failure, that kind of thing, let's talk about it when Lao Tzu also wants to retire!"

Kaido can afford to lose, and he is not a person who can't afford to lose, but he can't lose to some people inexplicably, and if he really wants to lose, then what he can accept now is to lose to Yamato.

At least that day, he will have nothing to help the other party, and he can watch the other party use the power to defeat him and achieve his goals.

Rumble!

Rumble!

Barrett's fist hit Kaido's shoulder, the overlord-colored burning, the armed color agitation, Barrett's years of honed skills were all used at this moment.

Kaido could feel as if his bones were cracking, muscle fibers snapping, and behind him, the damage caused by the punches left a cylindrical dent in the island.

Whether it was rock, dirt, or the steel plates caught in it, they were all wiped out by the remaining power of this punch.

But the mace in Kaido's hand had been swung out, and the furious dragon power raged in the sky, and the place where the eight fasts had swept was gone.

Barrett had a huge gap in the upper half of his body, as if it had been swallowed up by something.

However, his strong vitality made his life not pass, and he still mobilized the remaining strength in his body and tried his best to throw a punch at Kaido.

This punch seems to be very weak, and when it hits Kaido, it has long lost its previous strength, even if Kaido doesn't do anything, this punch won't have any effect.

But the momentum of the previous punch seems to be still there.

A large amount of blood flowed from the place where Kaido had been hit in the left shoulder earlier, and it quickly flowed all over his arm.

"It's not bad, the enemy who can make me see blood, the last one is the old man with Whitebeard."

"Heh, look like you Locks apprentice. Ahead of me to catch up with Roger's man. Could it be you? ”

"Roger? I think I'm already ahead of him. ”

"You're really. Arrogant."

Barrett's voice gradually weakened, and the domineering aura wrapped around his body had also dissipated, and as his breath was exhausted, his huge body finally stopped moving.

"There are too many differences in personality, otherwise, Lao Tzu can recruit you to try, but if you agree to my solicitation, I will look down on you."

Looking at Barrett, Kaido also put away his weapon, and with the sunset on the horizon, Kaido's battle also came to an end.

The battle of Bubble Island lasted a total of three days and two nights, three people participated in the battle, one person quit halfway, and the final winner - Hundred Beast Kaido.

Kaido had wanted to dispose of Barrett's body, but in the process found some shards of glass, and a sign with letters written on it next to the broken pointer, which seemed to mark Ralph Drew.

"This thing is. The eternal pointer of the final island? Forget it, if you destroy it, you will destroy it, and it will be much less fun to use this thing. ”

Kaido wasn't enjoying the process in the eyes of a normal person, but the battles that took place with the others in the process of seizing the text of the signpost, and it was obvious that there were more battles to be experienced that way.

Looking at Barrett, Kaido seemed to think that it was not appropriate to leave so directly, and swung a stick at the ground.

A crack cracked in the ground, and Barrett's body slid down.

On Nine Snake Island, Shanks sighed, not knowing what he was sighing for.

"It's all over."

"It's over?"

"Yes, this battle is over, and there should only be one left of those two monsters now."

Rubbing Uta's hair, Shanks reaffirmed his perception, and one of the two fierce auras had completely disappeared.

Barrett is very special, he is more of a passerby of Roger's pirates than a partner, and he doesn't have a deep friendship with Roger's crew.

Coupled with Barrett's previous behavior, Shanks's favorability towards him has returned to zero, but he doesn't feel anything, he is more worried about the future situation.

"Really? It looks like Governor Kaido has won. ”

Olga sat up and patted the sand on her body, and by this time she had already seen the dragon shadow flying in the sky.

"Little ones! Pack up and get ready to go back to Ghost Island! ”

After receiving the order, the men on the Shadow Fox began to clean up the mess on the beach, mainly things like tables, chairs, and benches.

Kaido took a bit of time, the first day they were still watching, the second day they relaxed, with Shanks' humanoid shield in front of them to block the aftermath, and the rest of the people also held a small and small makeshift banquet.

"Speaking of which, the fight has been won, shouldn't you set off a firework or something?"

"I'm sorry, Sister Olga, there is no reserve of such materials on the island, and some dispensable things were thrown away by us before Nine Snake Island was transported from its original location."

"It's okay, just change the way, it's more environmentally friendly."

With a snap of his fingers, a black wave escaped from Olga's feet, and many illusions were generated, and Ann on the other side also picked up a few pieces of drawing paper and activated his abilities on the painting on it.

She is already a phantom fruit powerhouse, as long as it is drawn on paper, she can be cast as a phantom, when Kaido came here, what he saw was a false scene of gongs and drums.

"Congratulations on your victory! Governor Kaido! ”

"Hmmm, isn't that something to be taken for granted? How could I lose here. ”

The scar on Barrett's shoulder has been recovered by special means, and now Kaido doesn't look injured except for a lot of physical exertion.

And Kaido also noticed the redhead.

"You disrespectful of the fight came here."

"Hahaha, I'm really not interested in that kind of thing, besides, aren't you also having a good time fighting with him, that's enough."

"Cut, I don't want to pay attention to you now, the concert is over, you should go back to your ship, right? I'm not interested in flying with you. ”

Seeing that he had just finished fighting, and there were many people here, Kaido had no intention of continuing to fight Shanks, but instead gave an eviction order.

With Shanks' ability, even one arm was enough to swim back to his Red Foss.

"Coincidentally, I actually want to go back to Wano Country with you this time."

"Follow me back to the land of peace? Redhead, do you know what you mean by that? ”

Kaido's eyes were focused on Shanks again.

It is not a casual visit for a sea emperor to go to the base camp of another sea emperor, and this usually only happens when war is declared and alliances are formed.

Even if nothing happened, the meeting of the two sea emperors would be enough to shake the nerves of the navy and the world government.

"Of course I know, or are you worried about me coming into your base camp and doing something bad?"

"Well, of course not, I appreciate your courage, but don't run away this time."

Kaido acquiesced to the redhead's idea, and then unleashed a cloud of flames, lifting the island of Nine Snakes up again, heading towards its intended position.

"Damn, these madmen"

Some time after Kaido left, Klokdal reappeared, intending to gamble on his luck, but only to see a part of the missing island, and the eternal pointer he wanted was naturally gone.

"Erosion reincarnation."

Seemingly reluctant to believe it, Klockdahl unleashed his abilities on the ground, trying to search for something valuable in the soil, but under the baptism of his yellow sand, only a few fragments were brought out by the grains of sand.

The shortcut to the Great Treasure was gone again, and Klockdahl had no choice but to leave here in anger, and he had to stop by to see where Bucky had died.

"Report, the battle is over, we saw Kaido leave here with the island, and did not notice any trace of Barrett, who himself has disappeared."

In addition to the CP0 who has already died, there are other CP0s in the vicinity, but they do not carry out the mission of sending them to death, but are responsible for observing the situation.

The disappearance can only be said to be a scene, after all, no matter how much a person thinks, it is impossible to disappear into thin air in the battle with Kaido, let alone a person of Barrett's type.

The reason for the disappearance of such people can basically only be death, and they are not sure because they did not see it with their own eyes, so there is a little leeway in the report.

"Red-haired Shanks left with Kaido for an unknown purpose, and during the time that Kaido and Barrett were fighting, Redhead had been on the island of the Nine Snakes.

At the same time, based on the traces left behind by the battlefield, it is speculated that the so-called eternal pointer to Ralphdrew has also been destroyed. ”

Messages were sent out of CP0's mouth one after another, and it was not until it was determined that there was no new news that CP0 left the place and headed for the warship of the navy not far away.

There were only nine of the 10 warships that originally carried out the demon slaying order at this time, and there were still many pirates imprisoned on them, as for the sunken ship

It wasn't the loss of the navy in the face of the pirate onslaught, but the impact of Shanks opening the way for people, and the long-distance avoidance directly caused a warship to disappear into the sea.

"Yes, understood, Marshal Sakasky, and we'll go back."

On the group of warships, the flying squirrel is receiving orders from the Akainu.

It is impossible for a large force to break into the position where Kaido and Barrett are fighting, but a small reconnaissance can still do it.

It's just that this reconnaissance has to be done by a navy at the level of a vice admiral, and ordinary navies are not capable of setting foot on that battlefield.

Barrett was defeated, and Kaido retained his position as the strongest creature, and the news soon came back.

"Losses. We lost one warship. ”

"Didn't you stay away from the battlefield, how could you still lose?"

Sakasky of the Navy Headquarters frowned when he heard the flying squirrel's report, he originally just asked casually, but he didn't expect it to be really unexpected.

The missions carried out by the Demon Slayer Order are all large warships, which are already expensive, comparable to the cost of war machines like pacifists.

Although this cost is insignificant in the size of the world government and navy, it is still a huge amount of money.

Even if the money is fine, it will take time to build a warship, and the cost of this will be huge.

The current navy has frequent missions and is already operating at full capacity, and the absence of a large warship has not yet achieved results, which will have a great impact on both now and in the future.

"It was an unknown attack that we had dealt with a large number of pirates, and the pirates who escaped from the Expo were either eliminated or arrested by us.

But in the middle of the way, a slash suddenly came from that direction, and a warship happened to be on that path.

I felt the powerful deterrent power of the slash, less like a missed attack, more like a warning.

If you block it."

The flying squirrel didn't finish speaking, but the meaning was clear.

Even if that attack was far away, Shanks's divine evasion was enough to open up a path.

The ship simply could not withstand such an attack, and even the sea was cracked by the aftermath of the attack, and it could not be closed for a long time.

"Warning. Heh, a bunch of lawless guys, it's getting crazier."

Akainu's tone was slow, but the flying squirrel could hear the anger in his heart.

The Navy was threatened by pirates, which was an insult to them.

"Sorry, Marshal Sakasky, that situation . I don't think we should fight. ”

"I know, I didn't blame you, I made you judge the situation for yourself."

Far away, even if Akainu is a marshal, he knows that he can't give orders indiscriminately.

Vice admirals are experienced veterans, and there must be an experienced general in a fleet.

The individual combat power of this kind of lieutenant general can only be at the bottom of the group of lieutenant generals, but his command ability is among the best.

These people know the specific situation of the front better than the marshal who is far behind, and after the grand strategy is formulated, it is all up to them to improvise.

If everything has to be reported, the staff is too busy to come over and not say anything, and when the order comes, the fighters will be gone.

The reason for his anger is that as a navy, he is threatened by pirates, and he has nothing to do about it.

Even if Akainu is not on the battlefield, the description of the flying squirrel makes Akainu understand that it is a blow with the color of an overlord.

Shock is only the most basic use of the overlord color, even if it is a person who has just awakened the domineering power of the overlord color, it can also deter others and make them faint.

Winding is the advanced use of overlord color, even in the new world where overlord colors are frequent, there are very few people who master overlord color winding.

In the flying squirrel, the only person who can use this trick is Kaido, the redhead, Barrett, let the flying squirrel lead the team to face a monster that can dominate, that is not called a mission, that is to send death.

As long as he is a marshal, he will not give such an order, unless he is an undercover agent sent by pirates or the revolutionary army.

"Let's get the team back, there are other tasks ahead."

"Yes."

"Kaido he won, and judging from CP0's report, that Barrett guy is also missing."

"Missing, don't lie to yourself about this kind of thing, will that monster disappear out of thin air?

Either he's dead, or he's in league with Kaido. ”

Nasjuro and Stan are discussing the message they just received from CP0.

However, Stan disagrees with Nashiro's idea.

Barrett is a capable person, and the surrounding CP0s did not see him fly off the island, and there was no trace of him on the island.

In that case, Barrett can't just swim away.

"I know, it's just a matter of livening up the atmosphere between us."

"Liven up the atmosphere? These are not the words that should come out of your mouth, Nashuro Saint. ”

“.”

The five-man conference hall fell silent suddenly, but it was quickly broken again.

"That's it."

"This thing? Wasn't Barrett originally a dead man? As said before, the permanent pointer was snatched by Kaido.

As for Barrett, there is no need to break our previous conclusions. ”

Not only Barrett, but the entire sixth layer of fugitives, the world government has not announced any of them.

I don't want to cause panic, and I don't want to lose my so-called face, there are many political factors in this.

But on the whole, the outside world doesn't know about Barrett at all.

"Also, that guy's threat level is high enough, and he doesn't need to increase his record to show his threat level, so let's do it."

The original purpose of announcing that a pirate defeated such and such an opponent was to show the world how harmful he was, so that outsiders would know that this person was terrifying.

If you ignore him, you will also be unlucky, so if you find the other party, you must contact the navy in time.

On the sea, it is not enough to rely on the eyes of the navy, the people of various islands and countries are the best eyes.

But now Kaido has reached the top in terms of both threat and popularity.

The world government does not need to use this way to declare how dangerous the world Kaido is.

Those opponents in the past were enough.

Now Kaido's victory will only increase the arrogance of the pirates, and Kaido's defeat is even more worthy of publicity.

"That thing. How about highlighting the fact that the Navy arrested a large number of pirates at the Expo? ”

"Let's do it, didn't the Navy have an operation around there in the first place? Do just that that organizer. Who else is there besides Barrett? ”

"I don't remember, it seems to be a celebration. The captain of the pirates? I can't remember his name. ”

"Then forget it, it doesn't matter who the name is, the people below will arrange it."

"That's right, just do what we discussed, I hope it won't cause too much trouble, this sea is chaotic enough."

Festa would never have thought that he was nothing compared to Roger.

Gore S. D. Roger's name can be remembered by the five old stars. And try to hide his name as much as possible.

And the name Festa does not matter. It's not worth mentioning at all.
