I, Akainu, am absolutely righteous

The country of Jaltsburg

was originally a country of endless wars.

The war ended, and after Barrett had once again eliminated the commander, the enemy army was scattered like a tidal wave.

Barrett marched with his army and finally broke through the enemy capital.

The self-reliant King Vonwa Ray surrendered, and the country finally had peace after decades of war.

Barrett walked with his army to the streets of his country's capital, already surrounded by water.

All sorts of flowers and gifts were thrown on Barrett's body, and countless young girls were crazy about it.

He was a hero of the country, and the story of him running after a group of people alone has reached the capital, and everyone knows that the end of this war was mainly because of Barrett.

At the age of fourteen, Barrett had never seen such a frenzied crowd, he had always spent time on the battlefield, and he could not understand the people's desire for peace.

Now, the country is at peace, thanks to their national hero, Barrett.

"Barrett, Barrett. "

......

The continuous sound reached Barrett's ears, and it made the young man feel a glimmer of joy.

Freedom, I am about to be free.

After a difficult walk through the crowded streets, the cheers from behind were still endless.

"Congratulations, Barrett, you are a hero to our nation. "

You deserve this medal.

Douglas, as his commander, personally put on Barrett's medal, which symbolizes the nation's highest honor.

The cheers from below the stage rose again.

His ordination ended quickly, as it was followed by the King's promotion of Douglas to general.

The ceremony was tedious and lengthy, but Douglas was excited.

As the commander of the country's army, he has the strongest army, not to mention now defeating another country and bringing peace.

The excitement in my heart is also overflowing.

"The victory in this war is first and foremost thanks to our national hero, Barrett, but I have bad news for you. The

crowd below all held their breath.

"Next, he will leave our country to pursue his freedom.

Douglas thought that if he said this, the people below would feel a little dissatisfied with Barrett.

As a result, all the people still shouted loudly.

"This is what Barrett deserves.

"He brought us peace.

"I wish him all the best on his journey. "

......

It's a pity that Barrett was not there at this time, because when he was awarded, he left the phenomenon directly and went back to his house to pack his things.

"Damn!"

all the ceremonies were over, and Trust General Douglas was in his office.

Douglas angrily slapped the table, and he was alone.

"I didn't expect this kid's prestige to be so high now.

Douglas, who felt troubled, paced around the office repeatedly, and although he was very happy about the victory in this war, he did not expect Barrett to receive such high support.

If you continue like this, sooner or later you will be replaced by him!

It's no wonder that Douglas thinks so, the country has been like this for the past few decades.

Even he himself gained his status by creating his own boss, but most of the subsequent rise in status was due to Barrett's military exploits.

It's just that Barrett is not the kind of person who is keen on promotion, all he wants is everyone to respect him and constantly improve his strength.

There is really no one in the country who can beat Barrett right now.

As the person who picked up Barrett, Douglas also knew that he was the only person Barrett trusted.

But it was this that kept Douglas at ease with Barrett.

He's so powerful that he's basically obedient to himself now, but that's only for war.

Some time ago, when he told himself he wanted to leave, Douglas knew he was about to lose control of Barrett.

He's no longer the reckless man who only knows how to fight, he can think.

The more I thought about it, the more irritated I felt.

What if one day Barrett is bought by someone else, with his prestige, it is easy to replace himself as a general.

Even if he was only fourteen years old now, what about another ten or twenty years?

Douglas couldn't believe it, and was furious at the thought of the day he was about to face.

This must not be allowed to happen.

Douglas made up his mind to get rid of Barrett.

Even if he earned so much military merit for himself, he couldn't deny whether he would betray him.

This is also the fact that Douglas's thinking as a warlord has not yet changed, and he has been in the midst of betrayal and anti-betrayal, so that Douglas's thinking is still the view of eliminating all threats.

He had been able to tolerate Barrett for the time being when there was another threat from an enemy nation, but now that unease spread throughout his body once the external threat was lifted.

Kill him, you must kill him.

Douglas, who had made up his mind, immediately went into action.

When Barrett can't be in China, most people can't beat him, and if he leaks in China, his position will be unstable.

It had to be after Barrett left, and he had to ship out of here.

Pregnant.

He's a Devil Fruit powerhouse, and as long as he sinks on the ship, no one will know.

And I went missing at sea, and everyone would think that Barrett didn't want to go home when he was out sailing, and people at home wouldn't suspect me.

That's it.

The plan was perfect, and the first step failed.

In the corner of the office, dozens of ants quietly observed Douglas's behavior and talked to themselves.

"I see, it's a simple task. Crane

, who was hiding in the distance, eavesdropped through ants and saw Douglas alone.

But how did Mr. Akainu know?

Anyway, he must have his own way, I just need to complete my mission.

Like this, Klein stayed there for a few more ants, and the rest were disconnected.

Communication is still more physically demanding than commanding.

Of course, Barrett, who was about to leave these things, was completely unaware.

His childhood and experiences in the army left him with so many betrayals that he now hardly trusts anyone.

Douglas, the only one who can be grudgingly trusted, is also a man who has been taking advantage of him.

Barrett always knew that Douglas was using him to earn military merit for himself, but Barrett didn't care.

He felt that he could no longer improve in this country, and he needed to go out and explore.

Tomorrow, he will leave the country where he has been fighting for years.
