The gourmet among pirates

After counting to one thousand, Barrett simply stretched out his hand and threw the hill above his head away.

"boom!!!"

The earth-shaking noise, accompanied by a deafening roar, resounded throughout the entire Ghost Island.

Even Onigashima shook for several seconds before returning to calm.

·······

Throwing down the weight on his body and finishing warm-up exercises, Barrett took the towel handed to him by Hiyori and wiped the sweat off his body.

He smiled at Kozuki Hiyori and asked, "Why are you here? Is there anything you want to ask of me?"

The 16-year-old Hikaru Kozuki blushed on her beautiful face and said unwillingly, "No, Uncle Barrett thinks I'm the kind of person who only thinks of you when something happens."

Barrett shrugged and ignored the coquettish expressions of Kozuki Hihi and the beautiful girl.

"I don't mean this in a derogatory way. If you have any problems, just come to me. It's better than that idiot Kozuki Oden who is so obsessed with face that he suffers in his life."

"Although Captain Roger disbanded the Roger Pirates due to health reasons and let us go our separate ways, they all exchanged contact information before leaving."

"If Kozuki Oden had made a phone call or sent a message saying that his property had been taken over by the Beasts Pirates, our Roger Pirates would have definitely regrouped and beaten the shit out of that Beasts Kaido."

"Humph, Captain Roger was not dead at that time. The Beasts Pirates dared to ignore the dignity of our Roger Pirates. Is he looking for death?"

At this point, a terrifying murderous look flashed in Barrett's eyes.

Surrounded by boundless murderous aura, Denjiro felt as if he was falling into an abyss. The horrible feeling of suffocation made him subconsciously take a step back.

On the contrary, the seemingly weak Kozuki Hiyori actually withstood this fierce aura and managed to hold on without losing her composure.

Kozuki Hiyori's subconscious action made Barrett's eyes flash with a hint of relief.

At the same time, it also made him even more dissatisfied with Kozuki Oden, that idiot.

I feel like he brought shame to Roger's Pirates.

Barrett has extremely complicated feelings towards Pirate King Roger.

During Barrett's most confused years, it was Roger who helped him get rid of the confusion and find the meaning of life again.

He made a vow that "one day, he will defeat Captain Roger and become the strongest in the world!"

During that period, the powerful and invincible Captain Roger, who could easily defeat him every time, became an alternative belief in Barrett's heart.

That is why Barrett was so incredulous when he learned that Roger announced that he had a terminal illness and would not live long.

After learning of Roger's death, Barrett was very anxious, worried that his oath could not be fulfilled.

This anxiety made him feel confused. He even gradually developed the consciousness that "he must protect his companions", and even began to become less decisive in battle. It was precisely because of this that he was captured by the navy and imprisoned in the city of Impel Down in the following years.

·······

When Barrett was lost in memories of Roger's pirate group because of Kozuki Oden.

Denjiro took a step back, a frightened look flashing across his face, but he still stepped forward, stood in front of Barrett, and gritted his teeth and said:

"Lord Barrett, please take back what I just said. Lord Oden is the greatest man in my eyes. He is not an idiot. You have no idea how much he has contributed to Wano Country."

"In order to save the residents of Wano Country, Lord Oden abandoned his dignity, put down the lava of the Kozuki family, and even sacrificed his life..."

In response to Denjiro's defense, Barrett interrupted with disdain, "What was the result?"

Denjiro: “This…”

Barrett sneered and said, "It's just pedantic. According to what you said, Oden paid so much, but what was the final result?"

"The life and death clan was wiped out? In the end, only a little girl was left, wandering the streets, selling smiles for a living? And those who he saved turned their heads and forgot about him, and instead gave him the title of "Foolish Prince"?"

"Huh? This is simply a disgrace to our Roger Pirates."

"If he had told us at the beginning, whether it was me or Rayleigh and the others, we would have rushed to Wano Country and destroyed the Beasts Pirates to help him vent his anger."

Barrett wasn't exaggerating.

When Roger disbanded the Roger Pirates, they had just landed on Raftel, and Roger had become the recognized Pirate King, famous throughout the world.

Roger's pirate group is also full of strong men.

At that time, Kaido the Beast was just a pirate supernova in the New World, and not one of the Four Emperors of the Pirates in the later period.

There is no need for many. If Kozuki Oden had asked for help, if one or two of the crew members of Roger's pirate group, "Pluto" Rayleigh, Spark Jabba, and Douglas Barrett, had arrived, and added with Kozuki Oden, they would have been able to defeat or even kill Kaido, the Beast.

As for a guy like Kurozumi Orochi, Barrett didn't take him seriously at all.

After scolding Denjiro speechless, Barrett curled his lips in disdain and said to Kozuki Hiyori, "Don't learn from your father's pedantry. If he had been more flexible, your family wouldn't have ended up like this."

"The more I talk about this, the angrier I get. Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore!"

After looking around Kozuki Hiyori for a while, Barrett said under Denjiro's vigilant gaze: "Although Oden is a rigid guy, he is still quite capable. Just now, you did not retreat even a step under my murderous aura. It seems that in this regard, you have inherited some of Oden's talents."

"Although you have been idle for a long time, you have the talent of that guy. As long as you are willing to work hard, you may be able to achieve something in the future."

"You have to know that in this world, strength is respected after all."

Hearing this, Kozuki Hiyori also felt a little moved.

If I had the strength of Uncle Barrett, I wouldn't be so powerless facing Kurozumi Orochi and Kaido.

Thinking of this, Kozuki Hiyori suddenly asked Barrett: "Uncle Barrett, can you teach me martial arts?"

"Me? I'll teach you."

Barrett shook his head: "You can let me fight, but I can't teach anyone."

"Is that so?" said Kozuki Hiyori with a disappointed look on his face.

Looking at Hiwa Kozuki's disappointed expression, Barrett comforted him:

"There's no need to show that expression. Everyone's physique is different, and different directions are suitable for them. I'm good at Taijutsu, but this path may not be suitable for you. Your parents are both powerful swordsmen, and Oden is even a great swordsman. You, who inherited their blood, are actually more suitable for kendo."

"Kendo?"

After muttering to herself, Kozuki Hiyori couldn't help but think of the two famous swords left by Kozuki Oden.

"Ame-no-Habe-slash", one of the twenty-one great swords, and the mysterious "Yanma".

[Is all this destined? ]

"call!"

After exhaling a breath of foul air, the confusion in Kozuki Hiyori's eyes slowly disappeared.

He bowed respectfully to Barrett and said, "Thank you, Uncle Barrett. I know what to do now."

Having made a decision in her heart, Kozuki Hiyori seemed to feel a lot more relaxed.

"By the way, I almost forgot about the real thing."

Chapter 306

"By the way, I almost forgot about the real thing."

Hiyori Kozuki waved to Denjiro, then took a mahogany box from Denjiro and handed it to Barrett.

"Uncle Barrett, these are the black gold gloves that I ordered the top craftsmen of Wano to tailor-make for you last time."

"This pair of black gold gloves is made entirely of extremely flexible black gold from outer space. The outside of the gloves is also inlaid with some tiny seastone particles, which can cause huge damage to Devil Fruit users."

"The inside of the black gold gloves has gathered the command of dozens of master craftsmen and adopted ninety-nine and eighty-one processes to completely isolate the impact of the sea-floor stone inlaid on the outside on the user of the gloves."

"In order to ensure the comfort of the gloves, craftsmen also embedded wear-resistant and non-slip black shark skin on the inside of the gloves."

"Uncle Barrett, you can try it and see if you like it."

Barrett looked at the pure black gloves handed to him by Hiyori Kozuki, and felt a hint of interest in his heart.

Seafloor stone gloves?

interesting! !

After stroking the cold gloves, Barrett directly pushed off the cowhide gloves on his hands and put on the black gold gloves carefully forged by Kozukihi and Mingren.

what!

The black gold gloves look like they perfectly fit the shape of your hand, and fit perfectly, making them extremely comfortable to put on.

There was a hint of surprise in Barrett's eyes.

After turning around and looking at Kozuki Hiyori.

【This girl... is thoughtful. 】

After taking another look at the black and gold gloves.

Barrett quickly felt the difference in the glove.

First of all, just like what Hiyori Kozuki said.

Before putting on this glove, Barrett could still feel the seastone particles on it, showing restraint on himself.

But after putting on these gloves, that faint sense of restraint disappeared.

[How is this done? Is it a special process of Wano craftsmen? 】

[Interesting, it can actually completely block the influence of seastone on Devil Fruit users, etc... In addition to this, this pair of gloves seems to have other abilities. ]

After keenly sensing a slight difference through his powerful intuition, Barrett tried to add an armament aura to the black and gold gloves.

next moment.

Barrett straightened up in shock.

"This is·······"

"Ahhh!!!" Hiyori Kozuki tilted her head and looked at Barrett and said, "I wanted to give Uncle Barrett a surprise, but I didn't expect Uncle Barrett to discover the real difference of the black and gold gloves so quickly."

"So, my perception is correct. This black gold glove can actually increase the domineering power of using this weapon."

"Of course!"

Hiyori Kozuki nodded and said: "Tengai Black Gold is the most precious metal discovered by the craftsmen of Wano. Father's original sword 'Enma' was made of Tengai Black Gold. This metal can naturally increase the user's strength. 'Flowing Sakura' (i.e. armed domineering), every time it is born, it will attract a large number of powerful people to pursue it."

"However, this kind of metal can greatly increase the user's armed color Haki. At the same time, it will also release the user's 'Liu Ying' (i.e., armed color Haki) without authorization. If ordinary people do not have enough control over power and lack of mental ability, If you are determined, you will be sucked into the outer black gold. But I believe that after Uncle Barrett gets familiar with it, he will definitely be able to control this metal like father."

If one does not have enough control over the power and is not mentally strong enough, one will actually be attacked by this metal???

Interesting, really interesting.

Barrett became even more interested in this metal.

Doesn't Barrett think that he is the kind of incompetent person who is bitten back by the glove?

"Humph!"

He clenched his fist fiercely, controlled the armed domineering energy in his body, and surged towards the black gold gloves.

This time, the extremely condensed armed domination directly dyed Barrett's gloved fists black.

Barrett stopped after inputting the armed Haki that used to be enough to arm one fist.

At this time, a strong suction force came from the glove, constantly pulling at the armed domineering energy in Barrett's body, as if trying to pull it out of the body.

But who is Barrett?

Ten years of boring training have long ago allowed Barrett to master his armed domineering power.

The suction force coming from the black gold glove was completely helpless. Barret didn't say anything, but it was easily suppressed by his will.

Seeing that he could not absorb more armed domineering energy, the gloves, which were carefully crafted by dozens of craftsmen, were a little reluctant, but they finally calmed down.

Immediately afterwards, the armed domineering force that Barrett output just now flowed into the black gold gloves, and then quickly flowed out again.

Enhanced by the black gold gloves, the dark armed domineering force spread along Barrett's wrist and up to half of his arm before stopping.

Looking at the small half of the arm covered by the armed color domineering.
