Pirates Devouring Fruit

"Hmm..." Dawn stretched his body and walked inside, "Anyway, I roughly guessed what it was.

But it should have been open for some time, but it was unexpectedly opened earlier. Was it because the death of Big Mom caused the pirates to become more active, so they chose to seize this opportunity and open the festival earlier? "

"Ha, you mean that guy, right? He looks delicious too." Ouroboros rested on Dawn's shoulder, "I'm really looking forward to it."

"Ah, I'm looking forward to fighting that guy too." Dawn's lazy eyes flashed with a sharpness, "The former crew member of One Piece, that monster-like guy."

Dawn had already learned the news from the Dark Emperor and Tesoro. Compared to the navy, the villains needed to communicate and cooperate with each other, so they could not conceal the intelligence. The speed of obtaining intelligence was always faster than the navy's investigation.

The man and the snake talked as they crossed the training square and finally came to the building where the Navy headquarters was located. They did not enter the marshal's office, but were led by the guards to a meeting room.

In the conference room, Sakaski and Chief of Staff Crane were both there, and Dawn even met two unexpected people.

The current ones are "Chief Inspector" Sengoku and "Rookie Instructor" Garp.

"Hey, Dawn boy, I didn't expect you to have done such a big thing without realizing it, hahahaha, it's really amazing."

When Cap saw Dawn, he walked over with a big laugh, and his slap was as heavy as ever, making Dawn's back thump.

"You're too kind. It just happened to be the right opportunity. My record is far inferior to yours truly." Dawn dodged another slap from Garp without showing any emotion and said modestly.

"Don't be modest, your achievements are obvious to all." Sengoku also seemed very happy, "You seized the opportunity and completely wiped out the Big Mom Pirates, one of the Four Emperors. This is not something that everyone can do."

Seeing that the two retired old guys were about to chat with Dawn, Staff Officer He reluctantly stopped them and said, "You two, I didn't ask you to come here to praise little Dawn, right? Let's get down to business first."

"Look at me, I almost forgot about it because I was so excited." Garp's face also began to become serious, "You know that the Blackbeard Pirates broke into Impel Down and let a lot of criminals go.

It was you who saw through Blackbeard's ambitions and finally suppressed the Blackbeard Pirates, preventing a disaster from happening."

"Ah, I know." Dawn nodded. "At that time, all the criminals in Infinite Hell were released by the other crew. It took me a lot of effort."

"The most terrifying guy among them has escaped from prison." Sengoku said solemnly, "A crew member of One Piece, the man known as the 'Heir of the Devil' - Douglas Barrett!"

Dawn raised an eyebrow, looking a little surprised.

This was not an act; he was truly surprised. However, the reason Dawn was surprised was a little different from what they thought.

In the original work, CP and the Navy seemed to have learned about the "Pirate Expo" in advance, but it was unknown who was manipulating it behind the scenes.

Dawn didn't expect that the navy already knew who was behind the "Pirate Expo"?

As expected, it was because he killed BIG MOM that the "Pirate Expo" was held ahead of schedule, causing the preparations to be hasty and the information to be exposed?

The storm stirred up by my little butterfly wings is getting bigger and bigger~

The next chapter contains mostly information about Barrett, and adds some experiences that were not revealed in the theatrical version.

This is mainly for those who haven't watched the movie, otherwise the omission would be too abrupt. It also serves as a transition to the plot, so those who don't want to watch it can skip it.

Chapter 403 Douglas Barrett! [Mostly supplementary information, feel free to skip if you don’t like it]

Naval Headquarters.

The environment in the meeting room was very simple. Apart from the sofa for visitors, there was a coffee table. At this moment, Dawn and the other four were sitting on different sofas, and the atmosphere was a bit serious.

"The heir of the evil spirit", the crew of One Piece, all the information revealed by the other party must be taken seriously.

Zhan Guo handed a stack to Dawn and began to explain: "Douglas Barrett was born in the military country of the Grand Line, Jarzburg, known as the "Country of Endless War". He is a war orphan.

Soon after joining the army at a young age, he was honored and called a hero, but was later betrayed by the military that had trained him.

In his grief, he caused a massacre that destroyed an entire country, and then decided to leave his hometown and go to sea to become a pirate.

He once clashed with the Pirate King Gol D. Roger on the sea, but in the end, for some reason, he became Roger's subordinate and is very powerful. "

Nodding, Dawn listened absentmindedly to Zhan Guo's familiar words.

He had also watched this movie in his previous life, so the general information about the Warring States period at this moment felt to him like a repetition of the real-life version.

However, the information handed to him by Zhan Guo made him very interested, because it recorded the life of Douglas Barrett in detail, which was information not shown in the original book.

Barrett was abandoned by his mother at birth. As an orphan, he was adopted by the army of a hostile country. The badge "GF" on the shoulder of his uniform is the abbreviation of the army of the country that adopted him.

His childhood was not as Zhan Guo described, with the understatement that he "soon became very powerful." In fact, Douglas Barrett was used as a boy soldier after being adopted.

That being said, to put it bluntly, they are cannon fodder without any sympathy, because the main work of these adopted young soldiers is the most dangerous tasks.

For example, there is no need to say much about the danger of a task like being the first to charge into the battlefield. It is very easy to be killed by guns before you even reach the enemy, and you become a complete meat shield and cannon fodder.

In addition, there are human demining tools such as stepping on mines, which are disposable consumables, or carrying bombs to clear a path, which are all tasks for consumable cannon fodder.

When he was young, what Barrett wanted most was the "Medal", which was the honor given by the "Country of Endless War" to the person who made the greatest contributions on the battlefield.

Young Barrett, who has been on the battlefield since childhood, is eager to obtain the "Medal", but the "Medal" is very difficult to obtain and will only be awarded to one person.

Barrett showed great strength when he was young, but when he was about to get the "Medal", he was betrayed by his companions. Not only was he seriously injured, but the "Medal" was also stolen.

The reason his partners betrayed him was simply because Barrett was too powerful, which aroused the jealousy of his companions. From then on, he no longer trusted others, and everything was just for the pursuit of victory.

After becoming the strongest young soldier, Barrett pursued more and more strength. On a battlefield, when his life was hanging by a thread due to hunger and fatigue, he ate the "Fusion Fruit" and became more and more powerful since then.

By the time he was fourteen, Barrett had become a national hero, and victory in the war was in sight.

His army captain Douglas was promoted to "General" because of Barrett's military achievements. He took great care of Barrett and promised to let him leave the battlefield and give him true freedom.

Barrett believed it and wiped out the enemy in the final battle.

But he didn't expect that Douglas betrayed him and wanted to kill him. The angry Barrett directly destroyed his own country and army. He was hunted by the World Government, so he went to sea.

Seeing this, Dawn could only say that General Douglas was really courting death. He was finally about to win the war, but he had to do some weird things. As a result, he was satisfied, but his country was directly destroyed.

It is simply a model of not seeking death.

Thirty years ago, when Barrett was fifteen years old, he met Roger, and his experience after that was meeting Roger. However, no matter how many times he challenged Roger, Barrett lost to Roger. So Barrett vowed: "One day I will defeat you and become the strongest in the world."

In the end, Barrett joined Roger's pirate group as a challenger. At that time, Roger was the only one in the entire pirate group who could defeat him, and even the vice-captain Rayleigh could only tie with him. However, Barrett did not feel proud, but instead intensified his training.

Twenty-eight years ago, when Barrett was seventeen years old, he was called the "devil's heir" on Roger's ship. He was greatly shocked when he learned that Roger was suffering from a terminal illness.

Twenty-seven years ago, when Barrett was eighteen years old, he was worried that his vow could not be fulfilled and he began to doubt Roger's strength.

After Barrett failed in his final challenge to Roger, he quit the pirate group and began to make a name for himself on the sea as a newcomer.

Finally, upon learning of Roger's execution, Barrett believed that he had no chance of defeating him again, and having lost his goal, he began to run wild on the sea.

When he was 22 years old, the Navy launched a Demon Slaying Order against him. When Barrett's physical strength was gradually exhausted by the Demon Slaying Order, the pirates he had defeated before also launched a surprise attack, which eventually led to his defeat and imprisonment in Impel Down.

During the more than 20 years in Impel Down, Barrett was determined to become "the strongest pirate king in the world surpassing Roger", that is, to kill all the strong people in the world including the "Four Emperors" and the admirals of the navy.

Seeing this, Dawn couldn't help but sigh at this guy's perversion. If he hadn't been pursuing personal strength, but had invited partners along the way like Red Hair did, he would probably have been able to sit on the throne of the Four Emperors after so many years.

After all, he was a guy who could compete with Rayleigh at the age of fifteen. No one on the Pirate King's ship could beat him except Roger. It was like he was cheating.

Compare it to Dawn himself when he was fifteen.

Emmmmm...

Although his strength is quite good, it is extremely difficult to fight against Rayleigh on equal terms.

Fortunately, the development of my fruit ability is of the type that can be exerted in the late stage. The more I grow, the faster my strength increases.

And in the later stages, when their strength began to grow slowly or even stagnated, Dawn's strength became stronger and stronger.

"What a great opponent." Dawn sighed inwardly as he looked at the information in front of him.

Then, Dawn grinned, looked at the four people around him and said, "Leave this guy to me. I really want to fight him."

"Do you want to take action?" Zhan Guo frowned and said, "It is totally unnecessary to fight alone. The risk is too great."

Dawn chuckled and said, "I would also like to try what the Pirate King can do."

Garp was startled when he heard the words, and then laughed loudly: "Alright, if it's you, maybe one person is enough to defeat him head-on. After all, you are an out-and-out monster!"

Chapter 404: Pirate Expo, Open!

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

Wow! !

At this moment, above a sea somewhere in the New World, the sky was covered with dark clouds, but what fell from the sky was not heavy rain but dense hail.

A small boat was sailing steadily in the sea, not affected by the huge hail at all.

Hailstones as big as hills fell over the boat with the potential energy of falling from the sky, but before they could get close to the boat, a huge wind blade shot out directly, chopping the hailstones into countless neat small squares, which fell onto the sea with a splash.

Ouroboros lazily lay on the roof of the ship, heading towards the island of "Pirate World" mentioned in the intelligence.

The meeting was originally to discuss how to encircle and annihilate the enemy, but Dawn showed great interest in fighting him, so the navy simply made preparations for both situations.

It would be better if Dawn could defeat the opponent. In this way, the navy would have less trouble and could directly arrest the pirates gathered for the "Pirate Expo".

If not, the enemy's strength will inevitably be consumed. The army will be led by Sakaski personally to stop the enemy.

The reason why Dawn wanted to challenge his opponent was that he was wondering if he would have a chance to "negotiate terms" with Barrett and make him willing to work for him?

As Garp said in the movie, Barrett was betrayed by adults and friends as a child. His lonely experience made him unable to trust others and he has been fighting alone.

After defeating him, the man who accepted him was Roger.

Just when Barrett inherited Roger's power and even fought to surpass Roger, Roger died.

So his fists lost direction and began to aimlessly destroy everything around him, turning into a dazed monster.

In this case, Dawn prepared to defeat him head-on, then break his self-righteous ideas, make him confused, and then give him a goal so that he would be willing to be driven by Dawn.

This is exactly what Dwayne is good at. In his plans over the years, many powerful enemies have been caught by Dwayne in what they desired and he successfully turned enemies into friends.

To put it simply, it is to defeat them first, giving them the "despair" of being unable to fulfill their wishes, and then use verbal attacks to make them see hope and willingly join in.

Coupled with the constraints of the contract, the door of the car will be welded shut once you get in, so there is no way you can get out!

Aren’t Shiryu of the Rain and Bondi Walder the best examples? Two villains with completely different goals, but now they are willing to be driven by Dawn.

For the sake of revenge, Bondi Wald is now loyal to the Thunder God Pirates. The reason is that he sees the possibility of revenge, a revenge that is far more likely to be accomplished than himself.

And Rain Shiryu is also satisfied with her current life, especially when she defeated War BIG MOM.

As for Barrett, Dawn also hopes to subdue this strong man.

But as to whether it will succeed, it all depends on human efforts.
