Chapter 149: The Possible Culprit
Magellan didn't want Hannibal to carry on today's events, so he took the opportunity to play and stunned him in the elevator.
The antidote works.
In a daze, Hannibal only felt the elevator restart and ascend with him.
Has the prisoner been released?
"Hmm......"
Hannibal opened his eyes vaguely, but did not see the figure of the director, Magellan.
As for the people who took the elevator, in addition to the three government visitors, there was also a man in prison uniform, standing still.
How would you describe the prisoner?
……
Just one word - big!
Hannibal couldn't describe the feeling.
A strong sense of presence erupts, like a battlefield where bullets rain down, which makes people shudder.
This deterrent, even if it is placed on the sixth layer of monsters, is also the best among them!
"Overlord color domineering owner...... Is it? ”
"The World Government has really released an amazing guy......"
"Is the person who can make the world government do this, that [demon], really tricky to this point?"
“……”
Many questions crossed Hannibal's mind.
He actually knew very well that fainting now was the best option, but he still couldn't help but think about it.
“……”
"Heir of the Devil Douglas Barrett."
Standing behind the two guards, the senior government official pulled out a piece of paper and read it out to the other party.
"After the confirmation of the five old stars, you will be directly appointed as one of the Seven Martial Seas under the king, and all previous crimes will be pardoned, and the legal right to plunder will take effect at the same time."
"In addition, as the king of the Seven Martial Seas, you have the power to form a pirate group, but you cannot unite with the illegal pirates, otherwise you will be defined as 'betrayal' by the world government and take back the identity of the Seven Martial Seas of the King......"
At this point, the senior government official suddenly paused.
Because Barrett was leaning over, a pair of oppressive eyes staring at him.
"You're talking about...... Companion? Ally? ”
"Hahahaha, are the idiots on the sixth layer scaring you out?"
Barrett grinned and said in a deep voice:
"On this sea, only its own strength is real."
"I don't need companions, and I'll never make alliances."
"Because I- I'm the strongest."
“……”
The senior government official stood still, his gaze behind his sunglasses meeting Barrett's.
Although he was speechless, a drop of cold sweat had already flowed from his forehead.
……
Douglas Barrett –
Born in the "war-torn country" of the Great Voyage.
When he was a teenager, he grew up on the brutal battlefield as a pioneer sent to death.
By mistake, he ate the "Superhuman Combination Fruit" and became stronger ever since.
And just when the war was about to be won, Barrett was betrayed by his boss and almost put to death.
Enraged, Barrett destroyed his country and army, was hunted down by the world government, and therefore went to sea.
Later, Barrett, who is rumored to be rampant at sea, meets Gore D Roger, and is defeated by Roger several times, and finally joins the Roger Pirates.
The name of the Devil's Heir was born!
After that, Barrett quits the Roger Pirates for unknown reasons and sails the seas alone.
There are also rumors that during this period, Barrett and [Sand Crocodile] Crocodall had a big fight, but the result was not a winner.
And after Roger's death, Barrett began to run unscrupulous, almost turning the entire sea upside down!
In order to deal with Barrett, the navy launched a demon slaying order, and even Karp and Sengoku were dispatched together.
In the end, the Demon Slayer Order greatly consumed Barrett's physical strength, and the pirates who had been defeated by Barrett also took the opportunity to fall into the well, and finally defeated him and was imprisoned in the sixth floor of the Advance City.
But even so, Barrett, who was in prison, still did not give up the exercise of his strength.
He has been cultivating hard for more than ten years in a state of extreme mental concentration, just to be able to surpass Roger one day!
……
The senior government official looked at Barrett in front of him, and his heart trembled slightly.
"Is it more exaggerated than when he was imprisoned?"
“……”
Senior government officials remained silent.
When Barrett saw this scene, he felt bored and simply slapped him.
One of the guards stepped forward half a step forward, took the blow on behalf of the high-ranking government official, and was beaten alive and sent away.
"Ah, the world government is still so boring......"
Barrett is also not interested in doing anything, and just wants to meet the [demon] in the mouth of the high-ranking official as soon as possible!
"I really want to see who is worthy of the name 'strong' in this boring era?"
Click!
When the elevator reaches the first floor, the door opens.
Basking in the sunshine he hadn't seen for a long time, Barrett strode out.
Target: The City of Seven Waters!
……
Holy Land, Mary Joa.
Conference room.
The five old stars gathered together to discuss the many events that were happening in the capital of seven waters at this moment.
"Can the [Devil's Heir] pose a threat to the [Demon]?"
"The same person who has fought against the 'Demon Slaying Order', which is stronger or weaker?"
"In my opinion, in terms of the stability of the style alone, [the Devil] is easier to deal with than the [Devil's Heir]."
"Agreed."
"But what [the demon] is pursuing is too terrifying, and we must not let him continue!"
"So, even if the Capital of the Seven Waters is destroyed, we have to find a way to make the [Demon] stop forever......"
“……”
After some deliberation, the eyes of the five old stars turned to the side.
A man with purple curly hair with a black nose was standing there.
He is none other than Spandain's son, Spandam, and the culprit who framed Tom the fish-man to death in a possible future.
If all goes well, Spandam will head to the City of the Seven Waters in about a year to try to search for the blueprints of Hades from Tom's studio.
However, the butterfly's wings are already flapping.
Due to Spandain's poor performance on the Alabastani side, his son Spendam is no longer trusted.
His proposed plan to "search for ancient weapons" was rejected, and the Five Old Stars turned to the matters related to the capital of the seven waters themselves.
"As for you, Spendham."
One of the five old stars waved his hand casually, "Go to the city and make up for your father's mistakes......
The man named "Spendham" disappeared into the sea before he could show his ambitions.
……
The City of Seven Waters, Tom's Studio.
The crowd is still repairing.
Klockdahl was a little impatient, and was about to get up to test Tom, but Tom stood up first.
He casually made an excuse and branched out the navy, including Zefa.
Then, Lindsay, Crocodall, Robin, and Uta, plus Tom's studio iceberg and Flam, were brought to the secret room downstairs.
……
"Four."
Tom sat on the crate, looking up at the two large and two small ones in front of him.
"I can probably guess your purpose."
"A manly man, you should repay your kindness, but I can't give you the answer to what you are pursuing."
"But—"
Tom's words changed sharply, and he said in a deep voice:
"I have a resounding clue here, maybe it will meet your needs!"
"Oh?"
When Klockdahl heard this, he became a little interested, and motioned for Tom to continue.
"There is a question about the source of this riot, that is, the real murderer behind the grave!"
Tom said in a deep voice:
"Even if you get what you want, but without her help, it won't work."
That thing, i.e., the blueprints of Hades.
"'She' is the only person in the world who can use that kind of thing, and since the world government has begun to search for that kind of thing in a hurry, it means that 'she' has probably been controlled by the world government!"
"You have to be careful of 'her', 'she' has definitely made some moves, and has even reached some kind of agreement with the world government!"
Tom's face sank, and he said slowly:
"She is the only remnant of O'Hara, the only person in the world who can read the text of history - Nicole Robin, [Son of the Devil]!"
After that, there was silence.
Iceberg: "?! ”
Flam: "!! ”
Lindsay: "......"
Klockdahl: "......"
Uta: "......"
Nicole Robin: "......"
……
After a brief silence, Flam was the first to speak, angrily:
"It must be that damn guy who has taken refuge in the World Government and given the World Government the confidence to attack Mr. Tom!"
"What a remnant of O'Hara, what a spineless!"
Flamp said:
"Damn bastard, if I see her, I'll let her taste Uncle Ben's super-class rockets and bury her in the ground!"
“……”
Listening to Flamem's words, several bruises erupted on Robin's forehead.
