Sailing: Weapon Fruit, I Rub The Flow Blade With My Hands

The old man was in a mess, but he was still alive.

Rosen looked at Douglas Barrett, who was lying in the ruins and begging for death. He didn't say anything, but his eyes glowed red.

The Observation Haki spread out, constantly reading the other party's emotions and thoughts.

Yes.

As the time of Qi body source flow cultivation continued to lengthen, the various abilities of the Observation Haki infant were gradually stimulated.

For example, he didn't have the innate top-level Observation Haki, but with the cultivation of Observation Haki by Qi body source flow, he gradually possessed the various abilities of the top-level Observation Haki.

For example, reading inner thoughts.

Although he could not read the vast memory in the deepest part of other people's brains as freely as Redfield, through Douglas Barrett's thinking, all his current thoughts and emotions were read by Rosen and presented in the form of pictures and sounds.

As the Devil's Heir came to the end of his life, he followed the other party's thoughts with his observation Haki, traveled through time, and came to the country where wars have never stopped for decades.

Abandoned by his mother at birth, he was adopted by the enemy's military.

He became a boy soldier at the age of 8, took the lead on the battlefield, stepped on landmines, and was completely treated as a mine rat.

He was active on the battlefield for a longer time, and won the medal that only the most meritorious soldiers could have with his powerful combat power. In the end, he was betrayed by his companions, suffered a near-death injury, and the medal symbolizing glory and status was also taken away.

At the age of 13, he killed all the boy soldiers who betrayed and harmed him. With his own strength, he became a military hero on the battlefield and ate the fusion fruit.

At the age of 14, he became a national hero. When he was about to be free, he was betrayed by the general who adopted him and even put to death. In anger, he destroyed the Endless War Country and all the armies, and then went to sea and was hunted by the World Government.

At the age of 15, he wandered on the sea and met Gol D. Roger. He challenged and failed, and was determined to pursue the strongest, but he fought again and again.

At the age of 17, he was hailed as the heir of the devil, but Gol D. Roger suffered from a terminal illness.

At the age of 18, in order to pursue the strongest, he left Roger Pirates.

At the age of 21, Gol D. Roger was executed and lost the goal of pursuing the strongest. Confused and anxious, he went berserk.

At the age of 22, he challenged Garp and the Demon Slayer Order headed by Sengoku, and the pirates who were defeated before, and finally ran out of strength. He was defeated and imprisoned in Impel Prison.

From then on, with darkness and loneliness as his companions, he started an 8-year prisoner career at LV6, but he still trained silently.

Suddenly.

After reviewing his life, Douglas Barrett had one thought after another in his mind.

"I got the medal symbolizing the glory of a soldier, but was betrayed by my companions."

"I became a hero of the country, but was betrayed by my adopted and only trusted boss."

"I want to pursue the strongest, but I have to face the ending of Roger's death."

He murmured in his heart:

"Why?"

"I just want a home, or even a goal."

"The Grand Line is so big, can't even such a request satisfy me?"

Douglas Barrett's eyes gradually became scattered, and a complex expression appeared on his face.

Home?

He wanted it, but lost it.

Companions?

He had it, but betrayed it, no longer believed it, and dared not believe it.

Boss?

He also had it, but in return he was stabbed in the back.

Finally.

The devil's heir was even humble enough to only ask for a goal that he could pursue.

Whether he succeeds or not, he doesn't care at all.

He just enjoys the process of chasing and that the goal can always exist.

What can he do?

The strongest man in the past, actually suffered from a terminal illness, chose to surrender, and was publicly executed.

A heart, empty.

Seemingly having powerful strength, but actually having nothing.

"Just a destination."

"Just a goal."

"Is that so?"

Rosen took a deep look at Douglas Barrett, and the red light in his eyes slowly dissipated.

If it was any other prisoner of Impel LV6, he would not even be interested in using his observation Haki to perceive, and would just kill him at will.

Only Douglas Barrett was an exception.

It was not because of the ability of the Devil's Heir, nor because the other party brought him a hearty battle, but simply because this man was different from other pirates.

Even.

Rosen could not find any trace of pirates in Douglas Barrett.

Self-discipline.

Exercise.

Be determined.

Never give up.

Not greedy, not lustful, not power-hungry, firmly implement yourself.

From personality to style, it is completely a military style.

Perhaps it is because Douglas Barrett was born a soldier. Even after going to sea, he was wanted by the World Government and became a pirate, but he still did not have the breath of a pirate, but was full of a strong military style.

Because of this.

He could not fit in the Roger Pirates, which were all pirates.

Because the entire pirate group advocates freedom, laxity, no scruples, and even unscrupulousness.

He also could not fit in the new world full of pirates.

Because the main theme of the new world is pirates.

But it is Douglas Barrett's military style that is deeply rooted in his bones, which makes Rosen, who is also a navy, look at him differently.

Thinking of this.

The Susano armor on the body of the powerful black rope Tianjue Mingwang slowly dissipated.

Then.

The Black Rope Heavenly Punishment King, who looked like a black-armored martial god, also disappeared.

"Are you still not going to do it?"

"Do you think I am not worthy of dying under the sword of your powerful suit, the Black Rope Heavenly Punishment King?"

"Rosen."

After Douglas Barrett reviewed his life, he found that Rosen did not do it, but instead released the posture of the powerful suit, the Black Rope Heavenly Punishment King. His face turned cold in an instant, and he roared at Rosen.

"Let me ask you something, Barrett."

"If you were allowed to choose again."

"Do you want to be a pirate or a soldier?"

Rosen ignored Douglas Barrett's roar.

"What kind of bullshit question is that?"

"When did I become a pirate?"

"It was your World Government that wanted me and forcibly defined me as a pirate. Do I have to surrender to the betrayal and siege of the Endless War Country?"

"Even if I joined the Roger Pirates later, I only joined as a challenger, just to challenge Roger anytime and anywhere."

Douglas Barrett couldn't help but sneer when he heard this.

"Don't you regard the crew of the Roger Pirates as your companions?"

Rosen looked Douglas Barrett in the eyes.

"Who would take those weaklings with a lax style as partners?"

"They are obviously weak, but they don't know how to improve. They are lazy all day long and only know how to pursue treasures and freedom."

"It's just nonsense."

Douglas Barrett saw Rosen looking straight at him:

"There was such a moment."

"At that time, I destroyed the Endless War Country and stayed on the ship of Roger's pirate group for a long time. In addition, I learned that Roger was terminally ill. I did have a brief consciousness of protecting the crew."

"But later I understood that it was because of anxiety. I was afraid that Roger, who was terminally ill, would drag his sick body to protect the people on the ship, which would accelerate his death."

"I didn't want to protect the people on the ship, but I didn't want Roger to die so quickly and then lose my goal, or I wanted to prove one thing, that is, Roger died and I couldn't defeat him in the challenge, so I could only surpass him in the way of the captain."

"In other words, everything comes from my goal, which is to pursue the strongest."

The corners of his mouth moved, and then he sighed rarely.

For the first time.

The Devil's Heir revealed his true feelings to a person.

Perhaps it was because he thought he was going to die soon.

It could also be because Rosen gradually acquired a military aura, mixed with the king's domineering aura, which was quite similar to himself, so Douglas Barrett chose to reveal his true feelings.
