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

Chapter 123: Jin, a loyal traitor

"That's really strange, but isn't that what the sea is like? Full of unknowns and wonders!"

Roger said excitedly.

Ross shook his head. It was true that the sea was very beautiful and mysterious, but that was not a good thing.

"Leave this to me, Ross! I also want to see how strange the little ghost named Barrett you mentioned is, especially his ghost aura. Maybe I can have a chance to learn from him!"

Roger agreed without hesitation, thinking that this was no big deal at all.

He had seen Barrett before, a young man with great potential, but he had never had the chance to observe him carefully. This small favor could just satisfy his curiosity.

What is he doing at Barrett's age? He may not even have one tenth of his opponent's strength.

What's more, since ghost energy is an extension of domineering power, it may not be impossible to learn!
Just like the ability to awaken fruits, special domineering is simply the top-level application of the three-color domineering, but it varies from person to person.

But some people are born to be chased and fed by God. The process from domineering awakening to reaching the peak has been going on from the beginning, and it will come naturally with the passage of time and continuous proficiency.

But most people spend their entire lives doing nothing and can only linger on the advanced level of domineering, without even seeing the threshold of awakening.

Even in the original novel, how many people can reach the top level of domineering?

It is a kind of power that ordinary people cannot imagine, just like the awakening of a fruit, and it is completely different from ordinary fruit abilities!

Roger's observation Haki and domineering Haki are both at top condition, only the armament Haki is not complete, and the ghost energy is an opportunity.

As Roger's right-hand man, Rayleigh's top-level use of Observation Haki is to briefly predict the future, and can ignore the effect of "Observation Kill". Jabba has reached the top level in the use of Armament Haki.

Garp also brought his Armament Haki to an insurmountable peak, reaching the same level as Conqueror's Haki Entanglement.

"Thank you, Roger."

Ross said politely. He could see that Roger's attitude was very sincere and attentive, and it was obvious that he took the matter completely to heart.

This puts him at ease, and Barrett's problem should be solved within two months.

Of course, if the problem cannot be solved, Ross still has a backup plan, but it will take a longer time.

Originally, Ross intended to tie Barrett's emotions to Cloud Island, the Nasdaq family, and himself, but now it seems that Mona has completely replaced him.

As time goes by, Barrett will naturally be able to get rid of the interference of ghost energy, but this process may need to continue until he becomes an adult or even longer. This is Ross's backup plan and the plan that has been implemented.

But now, let's go as fast as possible, so that I can concentrate on teaching Barrett Hakim when I come back.

The opponent is now very powerful, and his mastery of domineering is also good, even very high, but before "awakening", it was just a child's play.

Just like when he fought with Kaido, even if he spent ten days and ten nights with Kaido, he would never be able to catch up with himself in the face of absolute observation Haki!

Even Garp was no exception, but he could do nothing to the opponent. In fact, his physical strength and recovery ability were not on the same level as his. If a fight really broke out, he could only keep running.

If I were to accidentally get hit by Garp's full-strength punch, I would either die or fall down.

It's like this for strong physical warriors, they just need to keep stacking meat and attacks, but for fragile mages like us who specialize in using fruit abilities, we have to consider a lot.

"Okay, it's a deal then!"

Roger held out his fist with a smile on his face.

Ross understood, and also stretched out his fist and touched it lightly, smiling:
"Then it's settled."

.........

"It's the captain and his friends! They finally came out. The flowers I've been waiting for are about to wither."

"Oh my! Really, we talked for two or three hours. This is too long. I'm really curious!"

"My observation Haki is completely incomprehensible. I really want to know what they talked about."

"Why don't we just ask the captain and the others directly? Mr. Rayleigh will definitely tell us everything we can know."

The members of Roger's pirate group were chatting in twos and threes, and they were excited to see the nine people finally coming out of the Cloud House.

But they were all very restrained. After all, there were other people here, and it wouldn't be too late to surround them after they left.

"See you tonight!"

"See you tonight."

Ross said calmly, and then left with Garp and his five companions, Tokos, leaving the venue to Roger and his companions.

They agreed to discuss matters related to the secret treasure tonight, around two o'clock in the morning when it was quiet.

This is also something that could cost you your life at any time, so don't be careless!
"Mr. Ross, this calm and unhurried attitude is so cool!"

On the way, Long admired Ross sincerely beside him, just like a little fan who saw his idol dominate the world with his own eyes, which made Cap look disgusted and envious.

Long Ke had never shown such an expression to his father. Even when he witnessed the battle between him and Roger, he was just in awe and yearning for strength. He also wanted to be worshipped by his son!

During this incident, Ross looked like he had everything under control from beginning to end, and everything was so calm and unhurried, which made Long, who gradually took Ross as his role model, admire him.

He also fantasized that he would have such a demeanor after becoming a leader, solving external threats while chatting and laughing, and even turning enemies into friends and doing business with them, and then showing off in front of like-minded friends!
Long is now at the age when he loves fantasy and has wonderful self-fantasies about all the things he yearns for.

"Hehe, watch carefully and learn well. You will be able to do this sooner or later. When I was your age, I was not as steady as I am now. I am not afraid to tell you that when Whitebeard came to me, I was very nervous."

Ross first encouraged Long, then used his own example to tell the other party not to have too high expectations and fantasies, implicitly criticized the other party with his own shortcomings, and then said:

"Tell me what you learned this time. There's no need to be too specific, just give a brief summary. After all, things are unpredictable, and everyone's experiences are different. You can only truly understand this kind of thing if you experience it yourself."

After the words fell, Long nodded, who was listening attentively. Indeed, he didn't learn much except some superficial things.

If I really have to describe it, when encountering this kind of thing, he can only copy Ross's operations, but to be more specific, he can only fumble around in the dark, and he might be at a loss if there is any difference.

After organizing his words a little, he said:

"The first thing is to stay calm in everything. This is very important. Only when everything is in order can things become less complicated and it is easier to find ways to deal with them. Being calm is not only an attitude, but also a bargaining chip to show others."

"The second is to be fully prepared and have backup plans. You must have adequate preparations and response strategies before all possibilities occur. Otherwise, if you get flustered at the beginning, it will be difficult to calm down."

"The third is to examine the trouble of the matter. For example, if the same type of thing happened this time, the outcome would be different depending on the personality and behavior of the person who came. However, the worst case scenario is that it is best not to have a conflict on your own territory!"

"fourth…………"

Long slowly regained his composure, and on the way he told Ross some of the things he had summarized one by one, sorting them out in order of importance, which attracted Karp's frequent glances.

Is this his son?
This is his son!

Proud, no words needed!

Garp wanted to laugh out loud to vent his inner pride and joy, but looking at Long's calm expression and the words he kept talking, he finally held it back, only his trembling shoulders revealed his inner unrest.

Ross didn't expect that Long could learn so much from it.

Indeed, as a leader, the first and second points mentioned by Long are the most important.

Be calm and be cautious!

These are two great truths forged from countless corpses.

When Long finished his summary slowly, Ross patted him on the shoulder without reservation and praised him sincerely:
"You are a natural born leader, Long. You only need to learn a little bit to learn many things. What you lack now is experience and direction. The teacher cannot help you with these two points. I can only give you some indirect guidance."

"It's an honor to have your guidance. I finally understand why Sakaski is so perfect. He is simply the most perfect marine in the eyes of civilians."

Long flatters Ross both directly and indirectly.

It turned out to be very useful, Ross just nodded happily, with a proud look on his face.

Beside him, Borsalino's eyes revealed envy, but he was not jealous, because this was Long's own choice and effort.

Kuzan looked at the dragon with some admiration. "Leader, what a cool goal and behavior! Just thinking about it makes my blood boil!"

Jin fell into deep thought.

He didn't think as much as Long. After all, he was a barbarian. You couldn't expect a poor kid who couldn't even write to come up with so many twists and turns.

The wisdom of his race and his personal experience enable him to see more deeply, but this does not mean that he can understand many truths.

"It seems that I have to hurry up and learn culture, otherwise I won't be able to convince the people and leaders after I take office."

Jin made up his mind in his heart that he had to be a cultured person. A barbarian leader was bound to destroy the organization, which was not what he wanted.

Jhin never gave up the possibility of rising to the top, expecting the dragon to make a mistake due to momentary unwiseness.

Ross's Observation Haki had been receiving their inner emotions. He looked at Jhin deeply and felt a headache about this loyal traitor.

Ugh……

How nice it would have been if we could have met him before he was caught.

The Lunalia clan is a naturally strong person. Even if he doesn't become my son-in-law, it would be good to leave a seed in the Nasdaq family...

Of course, this is just what Ross thought. He is not that shameless.

　Go to sleep and continue writing at night.

　　After staying up for two days, I developed insomnia. I couldn't fall asleep at all. I started typing at five in the morning, and then my eyelids started to dribble just like when I was in class at school.

　　Hard to stretch...
