One Piece: Divine Bird Phoenix

Douglas Barrett, a man known as the heir of the devil, is a former member of the Pirate King and possesses a powerful strength that ordinary people cannot reach.

Two years ago, when the Straw Hat Boy was making trouble in Impel Down, he was released by Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach.

At the age of 15, because of the betrayal of the country and the army, he destroyed the entire country in anger and began to wander on the sea.

Barrett, who believes that only by being strong can he gain true freedom, is invincible on the sea and has never been defeated.

Until he met the Pirate King Roger, after many failed challenges, he joined the Roger Pirates as a challenger in order to become the strongest. He became the second strongest person on the ship after Roger at that time, and even the deputy captain Silvers Rayleigh could only tie with him.

When Barrett learned that Roger was suffering from a terminal illness, he was greatly shocked. After several unsuccessful challenges to Roger, he resolutely withdrew from the pirate group and became famous on the sea as a newcomer.

In the end, he was defeated by the Demon Slayer Fleet led by me and Ka and imprisoned in Impel Down.

Looking back at Barrett's life, he can only be described as extremely powerful.

Facing the slightly cool breeze blowing from a thousand meters high, An stopped at the bow of the warship, patiently listening to the explanation of the Warring States, but she didn't feel anything in her heart.

For her, the only threat to this sea was Im, the king of the Celestial Dragons who established the World Government 800 years ago and survived to this day.

Other so-called powerful people are only relative to others.

...

Ama Island.

It's called an island, but it's actually not small at all.

In the center of the bustling town, under the towering stone clock tower, dozens of NEO navy in black uniforms fell to the ground in all directions.

The weapons held tightly in their hands and the bright scarlet between their mouths and noses silently told of their bravery.

At the top of the clock tower, the black pointer moved with time little by little, and the ticking sound rang out again and again, like the chain in the hands of the god of death, lingering in the hearts of the residents of the Windmill Kingdom in the square.

"Stupidity that overestimates one's own capabilities!" Looking at the NEO Navy below, a tall and strong figure jumped to the ground, crushing the hard stone road surface and raising clouds of dust.

In the brown and yellow smoke, a figure slowly walked out, constantly emitting a violent breath, which became more and more intense, as if it was a demon from hell walking into the world.

"It seems that woman has given up on you!" Barrett spoke to several children about 6 or 7 years old in the crowd.

"You are lying, Marshal An will never do this!"

"She must have lost her way!"

"When the navy comes, you will be beaten to a pulp!!"

The parents of several children quickly covered their children's mouths and looked in front of them with fear, fearing that they would anger the other party.

"Since you little ghosts believe her so much, I will give her some more time."

With a swish, Barrett disappeared from the spot and returned to the spire of the ticking bell tower, looking at the crowd below thoughtfully.

He saw all the anger, worry, dissatisfaction and expectation on the faces of those children.

He reached out and touched the yellowed medal on his chest. It was the first honor he had ever received in his life and the real beginning of his life.

The hour hand ticked, and time passed by.

When the short hour hand and the long minute hand intersected and pointed to the number 12 on the dial, a loud bell sounded from inside the tower.

Duang—— Duang—— !

Accompanied by the solemn bell sound, a beautiful streamer that was extremely bright, attracted everyone's attention, was enough to make people remember forever and deeply engraved in their hearts, and appeared in the sky.

Like a gift from the world to people, it dragged a long tail flame, and under the expectant eyes of those children, it became longer, brighter and more reassuring.

Time went back to one minute ago.

Sensing a vicious breath, An stepped on the entire floating warship and bowed it down in the sound of Zhan Guo's endless narration, turning into a colorful light and falling straight to the ground.

"Little ghost, it seems that you have won. This guy is really here." Barrett said with a terrifying smile on his face.

Seeing that his little ancestor was about to speak again, the parents of the child beside him quickly covered their mouths, fearing that the family tree would be cut off from their generation.

Moving his body up and down, making the sound of beans pouring from all joints, Barrett said lightly: "You can leave!"

The white marble bell tower collapsed from top to bottom with this sentence, and a large amount of smoke and dust spread, and the sound of the building collapsing resounded throughout the island.

When the smoke and dust dissipated, Barrett had long disappeared, replaced by the black light under the blue sky that contained a violent breath and kept flying upwards.

"Monkey D. An, let me see how strong you are compared to Roger!!"

When Barrett saw the news about the war on the top, he was particularly sensitive to the news about the daughter of Pirate King Roger. In addition, the strength shown by the other party in the war on the top greatly aroused his interest.

Of course, the most important thing is Barrett's complex emotions towards Roger, which is a complex emotion towards a group called partners.

An naturally heard Barrett's voice, but there was no big change on his face. He had only one thought in his mind, which was to vent the anger hidden in his heart caused by the death of Whitebeard.

Her body was as straight as an arrow, and An clenched her fists. She did not use Phoenix Fire or domineering. She wanted to vent the suppressed anger in her heart in the most primitive and violent way.

In the sky, Soros controlled the floating battleship to descend. Everyone on the deck was concentrating on watching the two rays of light in the sky, which were constantly approaching, looking forward to what kind of sparks they would create.

"Barrett seems to have become stronger again!"

"Yes, he is really a devilish figure!"

Sengoku and Garp released their observation Haki and gave their own evaluations.

"Drag, who do you think will win?" He asked with a smile and closed his eyes.

Liudao's eyes fell on Dragon, waiting for the answer.

Among the seven people here, only he had seen the battle between An and Pit Saint with his own eyes.

"An will definitely win. Although Barrett is very strong, it is far from enough."

This analysis is not unreasonable. Barrett is not Pit Saint. He has the strongest animal-type devil fruit with the strongest resistance to blows.

As expected, when several people turned their eyes back, they saw the dazzling black light in the sky swallowed up instantly, without even a trace of struggle.

Then, a black figure, like an eagle that lost its hegemony in the sky, dragged its body longer and longer, and fell straight to the earth.

The strong wind blew on everyone's faces, which made their eyes hurt a little and also caused a lot of waves in their hearts.

Seeing is believing, hearing is false.

What you see is always more shocking than what you hear.

"Barrett, that guy, was actually knocked away by An!"

Compared with the little change in the hearts of Zhan Guo and others, Barrett suddenly felt a ridiculous feeling of self-denial in his heart.

I am not as good as her!

Just like he was able to defeat countless strong men and tie with Rayleigh, known as the Pluto, but in Roger's hands, he was like a fledgling boy, letting the other party manipulate him.

Enduring the excruciating pain, Barrett restored the finger that was dislocated in the collision just now, as if all this was nothing.

Mars hit the earth, and Barrett's burly body continued to move forward underground, breaking through different soil structures along the way, and continued to sink into the sea behind him.

The surface ground was like a bomb with a high dose of gunpowder that exploded from the inside. Endless shock waves destroyed the island, and the ground within a radius of about 1 kilometer cracked and decomposed under this force.

Billowing smoke and dust flew up to the sky, and the flat ground evolved into pieces of soil of different sizes, sinking and bulging in various postures, interweaving a messy scene. Even among these fragments, there were many hard granite stones.

However, even with such a big commotion, the residents of the island were not affected. As early as when he punched, An had already calculated the landing place.

Wow——!

Looking up at the rapidly descending fiery red light in the sky, and then at the earth-shaking changes not far away, the child who had just talked to Barrett was amazed and his eyes were wide open, revealing an envious expression.

"I have decided that I must join the NEO Navy in the future and become as strong as Marshal An!" A cute little girl in a flowery dress said with her arms folded across her chest and a firm look.

Finding that the other party was in the limelight, other children also expressed their dreams.

"I want to be a great man like Mr. Yixiao and safeguard the security of the country!"

"I want to be a scientist like Dr. Oak and invent many machines that are useful to ordinary people!"

"..."

The children expressed their dreams one after another, which was so dazzling in contrast to the doomsday-like destruction in front of them.

The blooming of every beautiful flower is inseparable from the nourishment of sunshine and rain, and the establishment of every dream is inseparable from faith and worship.

These children can also have such dreams, which is inseparable from the propaganda results of the Windmill Kingdom day after day.

Songs, movies, books, newspapers, activities...

Since the establishment of the Windmill Kingdom, Heath and others have spared no effort to publicize the heroic deeds that have made outstanding contributions to the Windmill Kingdom.

In a subtle way, the seeds of justice are planted in the hearts of these next generations.

At this time, pairs of warm hands stroked the heads of these children, and several gentle voices sounded.

"What a great dream, I couldn't compare to you when I was a child!"

The soft voice fell into the ears, and these children raised their heads and looked up. Behind them, countless figures appeared, and then behind them were hundreds of NEO navy.

And behind the little girl who first said the dream was An who had just beaten the enemy away.

"Marshal An!"

"General Yixiao!"

"General Dorag!"

"..."

The great figures who had only been seen in movies and newspapers appeared in front of them, and the residents of the town present were all ruddy and excited.

With a sweet smile, An asked softly, "What's your name?"

The little girl who was determined to become An blushed at first, and then summoned up the courage to shout out loud.

"My name is Violet, Violet Julia!!"

Laughing and talking, An gently patted the little girl's head and said, "If you can get into the Kingdom People's College, you can come to Divanstin to find me."

After comforting the little girl, An said to the back, "These civilians are left to you."

Leaving a word, he disappeared again.

"I will definitely pass the exam, Marshal sister!!" the little girl shouted loudly, as if she had made up her mind.

"Well, I'll wait for you!"

A melodious voice came from afar.

Organizing the residents to evacuate, Zhan Guo looked at the prosperous town in front of him.

Walls covered with various posters, clean and tidy beautiful streets, tree-lined parks...

All this made Zhan Guo seem to live in a dream. This kind of scene should have appeared in the Holy Land of Marijoa, Marinford, and the Sabaody Archipelago, these important islands.

But in the Windmill Kingdom, a small island far away from the border and geographically remote can also have such a living environment, which really surprised him.

"Surprised, right, Zhan Guo!"

"I was also very resistant to being arranged here at the beginning, but after a deep understanding of everything in this country, I found that this is the place where justice should protect."

Zeffa was not surprised by Zhan Guo's performance.

Before Zhan Guo continued to speak, Zefa asked another question.

"But I'm curious, how could a guy like Barrett not kill these NEO navy? I remember he was not like this before. Anyone who dared to hinder him would die in his hands."

Glancing at the small town navy being carried away from the corner of his eye, Zhan Guo thought about everything about Barrett in his mind, and then said.

"Behind the paranoid people, there are always unknown secrets."

On the battlefield on the other side of the island, Barrett, who crawled out of the ground, looked excited, with an excited expression on his face.

"That's right! That's right! That's how Roger defeated me again and again." Under Barrett's crazy voice, there was a trace of fear and a ray of joy.

Fear that he could not defeat his opponent, joy that he saw the shadow of Roger in the opponent.

"Come on!!"

"Monkey D. An, defeat me like your father, like Roger did back then!"

He tore the new military uniform in front of him, revealing his chest that looked like it was chopped by a knife and an axe. His muscles were knotted, as if they could provide endless power.

A large amount of dirt and dust flew up from behind him. With one step, Barrett's muscles swelled. He did not use the armed color or the power of the fruit, purely for the pursuit of inner pleasure.

"Roger is Roger, I am me, don't confuse me with the man who abandoned his wife and children!!"

The cold voice sounded at the moment the two met, and a smooth and round thigh was pulled out like lightning, and with a sharp sound of breaking the wind, it hit the other's exposed chest.

Once in contact, An's other thigh touched the ground, and his toes crushed the ground under his feet. The foot that was attached to Barrett's chest burst out with terrifying power, whipping out like a whip.

Bang!

Barrett, who was running at full speed, was hit hard. He was like a kite with a broken string. His abdomen contracted rapidly inwards, and his body was like a raging sea, thrown high in the direction from which he came.

"Listen to me--"

Retracting the action, like a gust of wind, An leaned down, flat on his face, and chased the flying man.

Passing over Barrett's flying body, An stretched out one hand and pressed down, his feet slid on the soft ground, plowing two long dents.

Dust was flying in the air, and the black cloak with the word "Zhu" fluttered upward diagonally. The girl looked solemn.

"--My name is Monkey D. An, and I have nothing to do with Roger, that bastard!!!"

The ground under his feet was dark, and a big pit was exploded. The sand and soil that flew up with great force rose up. Between the small stones and the tender green grass, An appeared below Barrett.

The calf and thigh were close together, the knee was at a 45-degree angle, and a fierce knee strike hit the opponent's back directly.

Boom!

…

(Let me explain here. Barrett initially believed that power brings freedom, but he did not dislike his partners. It was not until he joined Roger's pirate group that he began to think about protecting his companions because he learned that Roger had a terminal illness and was worried that he would not be able to fulfill his oath. However, he began to become weak in the process and resolutely left. It was not until the Demon Slayer Order incident that he was betrayed by the pirates under his command that he began to think that his companions were a burden.)
