One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House.

Chapter 351 Conversation with Barrett

Barrett took Robin to find Olbia and asked her to take Robin to change clothes. He walked leisurely towards the main hall of Onigashima. The scholars were still preparing, but he didn't need so many unnecessary steps. No matter how he dressed up, he would still look the same. They were all acquaintances, so there was no need.

When Barrett arrived at the main hall, the first thing he saw was two little guys leaning against the door and looking out.

[Yamato, the daughter of Kaido and Lily, and the other one should be the Kozuki Hiyori from that year, right? Time flies so fast, three or four years have passed in a short while. ]

Barrett lamented the ruthlessness of time in his heart, then stepped into the main hall. Sitting at the first seat were Kaido and Lily, while Jin was standing aside, reporting to Lily on the recent work situation. Barrett could see the smile of helplessness on Lily's face.

"Hey! You're here! Barrett! Long time no see, woo-woo-woo-woo!"

Kaido said with a laugh as he looked at Barrett who came in.

"Long time no see! Captain Kaido! The beasts have become even bigger."

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person, not to mention that Barrett and Kaido have no hatred. Kaido has also helped Barrett to get over his heart knot. In response to Kaido's greeting, Barrett responded politely.

"Wow, you have really changed a lot, Barrett. You didn't have such a peaceful aura in the past."

Kaido looked at Barrett with satisfaction. He knew that although Barrett seemed not as powerful as he used to be, and did not have that daunting aura, this did not mean that Barrett had become weaker. On the contrary, being able to control his aura freely, to be able to retract and release it freely, and to restrain his breath, was another manifestation of strength. It is not that making others afraid of you is the strongest, but making others unable to see through you is the highest realm.

"Hey, after going through so much with Captain Roger and the others, I have to grow up. If I continue to be the same as before, I'm afraid Captain Roger will crawl out of the ground and beat me up if he finds out."

Barrett sat directly in a seat next to him, scratched his head and said with a smile.

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, you probably wish that old guy would crawl out of the ground and beat you up, but if he really crawls out, I'm afraid he won't be your opponent, right?"

Kaido now appreciates Barrett more and more. This open-minded character, coupled with Barrett's inherently powerful strength and the vision of experiencing the scenery at the end of the world with Roger, Barrett's future is limitless. The only thing that can barely be regarded as a restraint on him is the devil fruit. The power of the fusion fruit is very strong, but it is somewhat useless for Barrett. The fusion fruit is good at large-scale combat and is very suitable for a soldier.

However, when it comes to top-notch battles between king and king, or general and general, it's a little bit lacking. The huge body after the fusion fruit not only increases the consumption of its own domineering aura, but also turns itself into a huge target. For people of the same strength, Barrett's state after fusion is actually easier to fight than before fusion.

"That depends on whether it's Captain Roger in his prime or Captain Roger who is suffering from illness."

Barrett did not shy away from this and said directly that because of the change in his mentality, Barrett no longer had any aversion to Roger's illness. To him now, birth, aging, sickness and death are the laws of the world. No one can be invincible forever. All you need to do is remember the brilliance of the peak.

"Yeah, I didn't expect that what finally knocked Roger down wasn't the waves, but the sudden illness. This is a pity, but fortunately, he saw the scenery he wanted to see before the illness completely knocked him down, although it might not have made him happy."

Lily had finished listening to Jin's report. While she approved of Jin's honest practice of repeatedly confirming each document more than three times, she felt that this kid still didn't understand the essence of management. After comforting him, she joined Barrett and Kaido's discussion. "I don't know what Captain Roger saw there, because Captain Roger was the only one who successfully entered that place at that time. We were just waiting outside, and Kozuki Oden seemed to have found something somewhere, but he didn't tell us, and we didn't force him. As for his later choice, you probably know it better than me. I don't like Kozuki Oden. He is too weak. Weakness is not a mistake, but when a person is in a high position and has great strength, he is still so weak, that is an obvious mistake. I never think highly of him."

Barrett has fully understood what happened in Wano Country during the past few days on the island. To be honest, when he was in Roger's pirate group, Barrett looked down on Kozuki Oden. Although this guy was indeed capable, his personality was a mess. He had no EQ, no IQ, and even poor looks. I don't know how Kozuki Toki fell in love with such a guy. Although it was heard that this guy was a maverick in Wano Country, in the eyes of outsiders, this guy was nothing but a mentally ill person.

If they didn't want to go to the final island and needed this guy's help in translating the historical text, Barrett would have kicked him off the boat long ago. He kept yelling at him all day long without even knowing how to weigh himself. No one knew what was wrong with Whitebeard that he actually became brothers with him.

After learning about the situation in Wano Country from King, Barrett slapped his head. How could this idiot, faced with all the choices, choose the wrong one without hesitation and go all the way to the end? His subordinates are also idiots. Didn't they know to remind him?

"The final island, Raftel? Maybe we will go there once if we have the chance, but that is after we achieve our goal. Before that, I don't plan to go there. I'm afraid I won't get any benefits and will become a target of the World Government."

Kaido didn't care about what Barrett said about Kozuki Oden. Why would he talk about such a depressing thing on such a happy day? Instead, he expressed his opinion on what Barrett said about the final island.

"That's true for you. After all, you are a big family with a lot of money, unlike Roger's pirate group which only has a few dozen people on one ship. Once you get there, the World Government will not allow you to continue to exist. At that time, you will have no choice but to fight head-on. Now, the Beasts should not have the strength to face the World Government directly, right?"

Barrett nodded and agreed with Kaido's consideration. As they both came from the military, Barrett could understand the strategic significance of Kaido's thinking. When one's own strength is not enough, it is not a shame to temporarily avoid the enemy's edge and show weakness to the enemy. On the contrary, it is a wise move.

"Not yet. After all, the World Government has existed in this world for eight hundred years, so it still has some foundation. It is impossible for the Hundred Beasts to catch up with it in less than twenty years, even with the other Four Emperors. What we can do now is to make the World Government afraid of us and understand that destroying us is not worth the loss. At the same time, we will not take the initiative to provoke the World Government's nerves, so as to develop steadily."

Lily explained to Barrett that they were not afraid of these things getting out. Not to mention that almost anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was happening, Barrett's position alone confirmed that he would not talk nonsense about such things.

"It's a smart move, but you can also be a little bolder, because I have discovered one thing, that is, the world government can't tolerate only two things. One is people with D as their middle name, and the other is the disappearance of the hundred years eight hundred years ago. As long as you don't touch these two points, as long as you grasp the right degree, you should be able to go further. Of course, this is just my personal speculation and it cannot be confirmed." Barrett thought for a while and said.

"Wu la la la la, we know about this matter. Barrett, Goldo Roger and Man Hai's arrest of historians have exposed the bottom line of the World Government's behavior. We are now constantly testing how much the World Government can tolerate before this absolute bottom line. At least for now, they don't care much about the Four Emperors controlling the New World. We are now preparing to test their new bottom line."

Kaido smiled with satisfaction. Barrett's idea coincided with theirs. However, no matter what, Baishou was a wealthy and powerful family. Although he knew the other party's absolute bottom line, he could not just go for it. He needed to test it step by step.

"Brother Kaido, the scholars are here and they are just outside the door." Just when a few people were about to chat, Jhin walked in and said.

"Ha! Our guests have arrived, let's invite them in, woo-lah-lah-lah!"

Kaido said with a big laugh.

I'd like to clarify that the previous New Year extra chapter is not actually a complete extra chapter. It was originally planned to be released after the Robin section was finished, but because of my control error in the Imperial Fist, it had to be released early. After the Robin section is finished, the New Year extra chapter will be skipped and the new year will be directly entered.
