The Great Voyage Begins with the Celestial Dragons

When the other members of LEVEL6 saw Barrett being released, they couldn't help but widen their eyes in astonishment.

This Barrett is quite a remarkable person.

He once served in Roger's pirate crew and is said to be on par with Rayleigh, the Dark King. At that time, Bullet was only 20 years old.

After entering Impel Down, Barrett became one of the few monsters who were still training.

With his hands and feet bound by sea stone shackles, he was unable to use his fruit, so he continued to train his physical skills and almost never gave up on improving.

If it weren't for the insufficient nutrition in the city, which wasted Barrett's growth period, he could definitely have become one of the top figures in the New World.

Even so, Barrett is still one of the top three tough characters in Impel Down.

How could they not be surprised that such people were released and followed in Luther's footsteps?

Only after Luther and Barrett had left did they suddenly erupt into a heated discussion.

Whether Barrett ultimately submits to Luther, or Barrett kills Luther and becomes famous again, it will be a momentous event that shakes the seas.

Inside the elevator, the monitoring Den Den Mushi (snail phone) was functioning normally.

When Magellan and the Commissioner saw Barrett, their expressions changed drastically.

Only when they saw Barrett standing obediently to the side, showing no intention of taking Luther hostage, did they feel a little relieved.

"Chief?"

Magellan looked at the old director, his tone somewhat surprised and uncertain.

"Let that prince go. We only need to report to the Five Elders and will not interfere with anything else."

The old chief shook his head and stopped Magellan from dialing the Den Den Mushi:

"I'll do it. I'm an old man, and I'll take care of everything."

"Chief!"

Magellan's face showed a touch of emotion, and at the old man's insistence, he still gave the Den Den Mushi to the other party.

He understood what the old man meant; they had to report this incident, otherwise the Five Elders would definitely blame them.

But if you tell the Five Elders, no one can say for sure what Luther meant.

The old director did this voluntarily so that he could stay out of it, and wouldn't have to take responsibility if something went wrong. He might even get promoted to director because of it.

At this moment, Magellan had already vowed in his heart that he would not let down the old director's expectations.

Whether for the sake of advancing the city's future or for the old director's retirement, he was prepared to build a deeper relationship with the Kingdom of Gaya and even that prince.

While Luther was communicating with the Five Elders in Impel Down, he arrived at the gate without any hindrance and boarded the Don Quixote.

As soon as they boarded the ship, the cat viper exclaimed in surprise:

"Damn it, Your Highness, why did you bring this silly boy out with you!"

"Big Cat, it's been a long time! You still look as weak as ever!"

Barrett's gaze swept over the cat viper, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Having once been a member of Roger's crew, he never expected that Nekomamushi would be working for Luther.

"Ha, still that annoying tone!"

The cat viper scoffed, but made no mention of a fight.

Clearly, he had been bullied by Barrett quite a bit in the past:

"Your Highness, you must be careful with this person. He is quite strong, but he doesn't know how to control his strength."

He disembarked from Roger's ship relatively early, so he didn't know much about Barrett's subsequent events, only that he had defied the Buster Call and was imprisoned in Impel Down.

His impression of Barrett was still that of a madman who frantically pursued strength and utterly despised the weak.

"Unfortunately, I wasn't very gentle with myself either. Barrett and I will go to Terry Island to relax."

Luther chuckled, gestured to the maids waiting on the ship, and then sat down on the sofa on the deck.

"Wait, Your Highness, you had a lot of high-calorie food brought in. Are you planning to fight this bastard?"

The cat viper's eyes widened, its gaze shifting between Luther and Barrett with a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

After looking around, he even glanced at Barrett with pity.

Clearly, as Luther's helmsman, he was well aware of Luther's capabilities.

In comparison, Barrett's impression of him was still that he was inferior to Kozuki Oden, so how could he possibly be a match for Luther?

On the other side, the maid returned shortly after leaving, carrying plates of cooked meat.

Barrett didn't stand on ceremony and started gnawing on it.

Having been imprisoned in Impel Down for so long, eating meat is indeed a very good way to recover.

"Big Cat, are you questioning my abilities?"

As he ate, he couldn't help but glance at Luther with slightly narrowed eyes.

Barrett was truly surprised that Cat Viper, knowing his own strength, still believed Luther would win.

It seems he was looked down upon!

"No, you are very strong. But some people, like Captain Roger, are born to stand above the heavens."

The cat viper skillfully started the boat and let out a sigh.

Even if Barrett's opponent were Gion, he believed that Barrett could hold out for a while, but would eventually be defeated because he could not use Conqueror's Haki and his recovery ability was not as good as Gion's.

But Barrett had absolutely no chance of winning against Luther.

Seemingly thinking of something terrifying, a hint of unease flickered in the cat viper's eyes, and he subconsciously glanced at Luther's waist.

At this moment, Luther had more than just a knife hanging from his waist.

Besides Ace, Luther also had a pure black knife hanging from his waist that looked to be made of a special material.

In the eyes of the cat viper, this knife may not be the sharpest, but in Luther's hands, no one could withstand it.

“Terry Island is located not far from Impel Down, not outside the Gates of Justice, and still within the World Government’s absolute control over the seas. This island is somewhat special, as it is entirely composed of sharp earth,” Luther said calmly.

Sharp earth is a mineral that looks like soil but is actually metallic. It is extremely hard and almost indestructible.

However, because it is like sand and gravel, it is extremely difficult to forge and utilize, so it has been temporarily abandoned by the World Government.

Barrett, however, understood Luther's other meaning.

It should be noted that his fruit is a fusion fruit capable of combining all things, which would undoubtedly give him an absolute advantage on such a battlefield.

Even so, neither Luther nor Cat Viper believed he could win, which made Barrett grin and mutter softly:

"interesting..."

Chapter 222 The Showdown on Terry Island

Impel Down is not far from Tri Island.

At the speed of the Don Quixote, they soon arrived at Terry Island.

Instead, it took some time to wait for Barrett to recover.

Through some indirect means, Barrett was made to be cautious.

He remained cautious and apprehensive towards truly powerful individuals.

About two hours later, as the sun was about to set, Barrett finally put down the bone he had just finished eating.

"That's it!"

He slowly stood up, his gaze fixed intently on Luther:

"Judging from your actions alone, you are far superior to those weaklings. If you lose, I will let you die with dignity."

"That's how it should be."

Luther chuckled, drew Ace from his waist, and tossed it toward the cat viper.

"What do you mean!?"

Barrett's expression hardened slightly upon seeing this.

Judging from Luther's performance in Level 6, although he has Devil Fruit abilities, he is more skilled in swordsmanship.

Don't look down on someone who discards their supreme grade sword before a sword fight begins.

"You should know that sword is called Ace, right?"

Luther chuckled softly and strolled toward the island:

“That was Roger’s sword, a symbol of power in my hands. What you are about to see is my sword as a swordsman.”

"A swordsman's sword..."

Barrett's expression hardened slightly, and he leaped directly onto the island.

As he passed Luther, he gave him a serious look at the black knife at his waist.

That was definitely not the legendary black sword of the great swordsman; he was absolutely certain of that.

If that's the case, it must be forged from special materials, but we don't know what special abilities it has.

Tri Island is not large, only about 4 square kilometers, and is a deserted island that can be seen from one end to the other.

Seeing that the two sides were about to stand still, the Cat Viper on the other side immediately steered the Don Quixote away, as if it were afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

The two stood several hundred meters apart, each on one side of the island.

The moment their eyes met across the distance, Conqueror's Haki suddenly erupted.

boom!!!

"drink!!!"

Barrett let out a roar, and his dark purple Conqueror's Haki spread outwards without any blind spots.

He didn't understand any Conqueror's Haki techniques; Roger hadn't taught him any of them, and he only knew how to use them roughly.

Even so, the sharp earth on the island surged outwards like sand waves under the influence of this domineering aura.
