One Piece: Adopting Akainu at the beginning, adopted son Barrett

Chapter 122 Is domineering conscious?
"Thank you, Ross. I, Roger, swear on my own surname that you will be my and Roger Pirates' friend forever!"

Roger stood up without hesitation and stretched out his left hand to Ross.

"As long as you don't do anything that makes me angry, we will never be enemies."

Ross also stood up and stretched out his left hand to shake Roger's.

His willingness to befriend Roger's pirate group does not mean he is willing to be friends with them. Ross knows that Roger will definitely do something stupid in the future.

Ross could not convince himself to forgive such a person, let alone make friends with him. He would even take the initiative to prevent the beginning of the Age of Discovery.

Luffy in the future will have to shoulder the fate, and he must be the one who carries the fate and carries the burden for others.

Only this point made Ross feel a little sorry for Cap.

But there is no other way. Someone has to try to save the world, right? All Ross can do is to slightly change the environment of this salvation.

Let him not be as chaotic and unbearable as in the original book.

Of course, it's too early to say this. Who can tell the fate of a thing? Roger's plan may not be limited to this one.

If the execution spread plan fails, Whitebeard, who is good friends with Roger, might help, but the effect will be greatly reduced.

You know, the real initiator of the Age of Evil was Whitebeard in the Battle of Marineford!

The numerous possibilities weighed heavily on the world like a mountain, making Ross feel even more depressed, unfair and sad.

"Letting my friends down will never happen before I die!"

Roger could hear the meaning behind Ross's words, but he still said it.

Both of them are well aware of certain possibilities in the future. One knows the inevitable outcome, and the other knows that the other will not act without a purpose.

Both parties tacitly agreed not to pursue the matter further and shook hands in peace.

"Roger..."

When Roger sat down and prepared to proceed with the final stage of the transaction with Ross, Rayleigh beside him reminded him and gave Roger a look.

The long-standing tacit understanding between the two made Roger understand the meaning instantly.

Rayleigh wanted to know what the secret treasure that Ross mentioned was.

"Rose, leave the last thing to us. We don't need the secret treasure even if we find it. Just consider it a small favor between friends."

Roger said to Ross happily.

He also knew that the last secret treasure was actually what Ross himself wanted, otherwise he would not have expressed it with such an expression.

Moreover, there should be multiple copies of that secret treasure, but it is extremely precious, so he proposed to exchange it with Roger and others.

By then, I should be able to exchange some of them for other things, and that will be enough. Considering the business relationship between them, he will definitely agree.

It's nothing, Ross seems to know him very well.

Roger put his knowledge into practice and used the tactic of advancing in order to retreat. After getting the news, he managed to get something for nothing, and asked Ross to bet on his character and whether he would give the treasure away after getting it.

Of course, Roger is a man of his words, it just depends on whether Ross trusts him or not.

At the same time, Roger was also betting on Ross's character to see if the other party would share the treasure with them after getting it.

Of course, the fewer people who know about the secret treasure, the better. Neither of them will make things awkward or out of proportion. The best choice is for each of them to take what they need.

Ross glanced at Rayleigh. He was worthy of being the ship's first officer and the person who had followed Roger the longest. Just a glance from him could make Roger make the most favorable choice.

Ross nodded and said:
"Okay, after this is done, each of us three will get what we need. This matter is of great importance, so I will only talk to the four of you separately."

Ross glanced at Cap, and it was obvious that the fourth person and the third party was him.

Although Karp has a big mouth, there are some things he absolutely keeps secret. Although his plan is stupid, it is smart enough.

Ross never looked down on anyone.

As for the other four little ones, what they can hear is already the limit. Young people cannot grasp more things, so it is best not to even think about it!

"Ahahaha, I didn't expect there would be a share for me! Ross, you're such a friend!"

Cap put his big hand on Ross's shoulder. He was about two heads taller than Ross and looked like an older brother.

"Of course, Garp. I've helped me so much, how could I let you suffer any loss? You know my nickname within the navy."

Ross smiled and said, his meaning was clear. Then he took out three pages of paper that he had prepared long ago from the inside of his clothes. They were folded neatly and seemed not to be exposed. He handed them to the cloud table and said:
"Here are the things you want, two copies I have made, and two copies I knew about but did not seek."

He has rubbings of both Sky Island's historical text and O'Hara's historical text. He only mentioned four texts, but he is not responsible for whether Roger already knew them.

Roger may have already made a copy of O'Hara's historical text. After all, the passive skill of listening to the voice of all things is really useful and makes him an expert in finding historical texts.

"Okay, Rayleigh will give you the Three Colors Haki Notebook after we finish. I will give you an additional copy of my understanding of Haki tonight. I don't have a backup copy of that yet."

Roger gladly accepted the paper Ross handed over and agreed to pay him at a certain time. As for the uncopied note, it was a way to practice "God Avoidance", a kind of swordsmanship with domineering color entanglement. Anyway, it was not a rare thing, so he gave it to him.

After all, the conditions for practicing "Shenbi" are quite harsh. Even if everyone in the entire ocean knew about it, there would probably be only a handful of people who could master it.

Then, Roger said:
"Is it convenient for me to ask you about that little favor now? If it's convenient, I'll go and prepare it tonight and start the next day."

"It's not a big deal, it's just that this little guy is giving me a bit of a headache. His name is Barrett, and he's currently my..."

Ross suddenly paused as he was speaking, not knowing how to describe his position on Barrett, but then he said as if resigned to his fate:

"If nothing unexpected happens, he should be my son-in-law, the kind that marries into my wife's family."

Ross doesn't know how his future daughter Mona will feel about Barrett.

Is she a friend? Is she a good friend? Is she a big sister? Or is she a lover?
He didn't know, but Barrett's feelings towards all things on Cloud Island now might only be on par with that little Mona.

On the way here, they met Mona and Barrett who were playing around. Ross was able to draw a conclusion after using his observation Haki to sense their thoughts.

But this seems to be the best choice. Barrett is absolutely worthy of Mona. His own value has evened out the meaning of "equally matched".

But specifically, it depends on Mona's personal choice. Ross respects all choices of his children, and he will not interfere too much as long as they are not lower than his inner moral "excellence" line.

It's "excellent" rather than "passing".

In this sea, the moral standards of the previous life can no longer be used for measurement, but can only be used as a reference. Ross has his own set of standards.

"son in law?"

"Bring-in-law!"

The remaining four old guys didn't say anything yet, but Long and Kuzan screamed instead.

Borsalino, who was pretending to be asleep, woke up instantly. Only Jhin looked confused. Forgive him for being a barbarian who knew nothing.

Likewise, Cap's eyes were quite interesting, but he didn't make any excessive noise to irritate Rose's nerves.

He could clearly hear the resentment in Ross's words. It was totally unreasonable, a kind of resentment that had nowhere to vent.

If you offend him at this time, you will have to bear the consequences yourself.

Garp couldn't help but look at his son and Kuzan.

Kuzan is fine, as he is only seventeen years old and is not old enough to enter the elite training camp. But Long is in a miserable situation, as he will definitely be made trouble for himself.

Facts proved that Karp's guess was correct. Ross turned his head to look at Long, and a "well" character was clearly visible on his forehead, which scared Long so much that he immediately closed his mouth.

"It's normal. You'll know when you have a daughter."

Borsalino patted Long's shoulder and whispered in his ear.

"how do you know?"

Long leaned close to Borsalino's ear to ask, but was met with an indifferent look and the other party's attitude of dozing off again.

You are such an idiot who doesn't know how to read people's expressions. You will be in trouble later!
After taking a breath, Ross continued:
"That little guy has a power called ghost energy, which is a special form of domineering. I would like to ask Roger to help me observe him. He should be a potential manifestation of domineering color, but I'm not sure."

Ghostly aura is a special posture of armed color, and it may also be a natural prototype of domineering color entanglement, which is a mixed form of domineering color and armed color.

Sauron in the original work is an example.

His special move "Asura" series is performed by relying on ghost energy. That kind of momentum is definitely a manifestation of domineering color, but there is a difference.

The damage to things is far greater than that of ordinary Domineering Haki, and is more like the manifestation of Domineering Haki entanglement.

"As for the specific requirements, I want you to help me determine whether there is any ghost energy in his body... consciousness! Then try to help him awaken the Conqueror's Haki, that's all."

Ross finished his words and waited for Roger's answer.

Roger nodded to indicate that it was okay, but he was a little confused. Would domineering spirit develop its own consciousness?
Without hesitation, he asked:

"Can Haki also generate consciousness?"

Others present also pricked up their ears with great curiosity and seriousness. After all, domineering is one of the mainstream systems today.

Ross shook his head and expressed his inner thoughts:

"I don't know, but my observation Haki is also special, so I can sense something. It seems that the ghost energy of that little guy Barrett has self-awareness, which constantly interferes with his heart, making him give up himself and continue to pursue powerful strength!"

Ross really didn't know, but he guessed that this was probably due to the special ghost energy.

After all, any extra power comes at a price!

Zoro's demonic energy awakened late and was suppressed by his own consciousness.

Barrett awakened early, at around the age of twelve regardless of interference or not. His own willpower had not yet reached the point where it could suppress the evil spirit.
