Shampoo is in fifth gear, and Kizaru is numb

"Straw Hat Boy."

Barrett roared.

His body was very strong, but that didn't mean he was very slow.

From the previous fight with Marco and the other three, it could be seen that his body was very flexible, and his strong muscles didn't affect his speed at all.

In just a moment, the moment the deep pit on the ground appeared, Barrett's strong figure had appeared in front of Luffy and the others.

The huge shadow formed by the strong body completely covered Luffy and the others.

But no one showed a panicked look on their face.

Barrett punched down.

The muscles in his thick arms bulged, and the speed of his punches almost brought a white whirlwind. You can imagine how powerful it is.

Before the fist fell, the terrifying The wind pressure had already made the clothes of the people below rustle.

However, Luffy just calmly looked at Barrett who was falling from the sky, and had no intention of attacking him.

Beside Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Jinbe lowered their heads slightly, their terrifying auras twisted, as if a shadow had covered their faces.

Barrett inexplicably felt a strong sense of crisis.

Boom.

When Barrett's fist was about to hit.

A sturdy figure directly blocked Luffy.

Bang.

A huge and dull sound rang out, and transparent ripples spread outward like ripples in space.

The ground under Luffy's feet, within a hundred meters, instantly cracked. It was caused by the direct impact of a powerful and indescribable force.

"Webbed fingers?"

Barrett saw the thin membrane between the fingers. It was the fishman's hand.

""Jinbei?"

Barrett looked slightly surprised.

The former Shichibukai?

Barrett has been out for so long now, and he has a certain understanding of the powerful combat power of the sea today.

There are only a few of the Four Emperors who are at the level of admirals, and among the Shichibukai, only Hawkeye can be called an admiral.

No matter how you calculate it, Sea Knight Jinbei should not be among them.

But now, the opponent actually blocked his fist directly?

This terrifying power has completely surpassed Diamond Joz.

""Jinbei?"

Compared to Barrett, Jozmarco and the others were completely shocked.

What a joke, that's Jinbei?

He blocked Barrett's heavy attack so easily?

You know, Barrett easily resolved their attack when he faced three of them before, which is definitely the destructive power of the Four Emperors' admirals.

It's not so easy to resist a full-strength attack from such a person.

If it was based on Jinbei's previous combat power, it would definitely not be able to resist.

This is why Marco and the others were so shocked, because they knew Jinbei's strength too well.

But the strength shown by Jinbei now is several times stronger than before.

"Interesting, Sea Knight Jinbei."

After Barrett's brief surprise, he felt a strong sense of excitement.

The excitement of fighting a strong man

""Fall down."

Barrett was still able to burst out with terrifying power in the air.

Jinbei's face changed, and his legs sank directly into the ground.

Without direct contact, it is really hard to imagine how terrible the opponent's attack is.

However, compared to Jinbei's solemnity, after a short fight, Barrett has completely recognized Jinbei's strength. He is very strong, even if he uses all his strength, he can only suppress him.

"Don't be so arrogant, bastard."

Two low roars sounded from the front.

Barrett saw a bright knife light and a kick burning with black flames.

"Two-sword style, Ushiki brave claw"

""Devil's Wind Kick, Skewer SHOOT."

Barrett's face changed, and his relaxed smile disappeared in an instant. He used Jinbei's hand to gain leverage on his fist, and his strong body was incredibly agile.

In an instant, he adjusted his body in the air, and then punched out with a strong armed color domineering.

Boom.

In an instant.

Red lightning exploded in the collision between the two sides, and the surrounding ground was cracked.

Black flames splashed like meteors, and sharp sword waves cut the ground.

Thump thump thump.

Barrett's strong body was bounced away in this collision, fell to the ground, and then stepped heavily on the ground for several steps before barely stabilizing his body.

"Blackfoot, Roronoa, I didn't expect that you two would be so strong."

Barrett looked at his fist with a serious expression.

There were burn marks on his fist, and there were fine knife marks on his arm.

Although it was just a superficial break, for his well-tempered body and armed color domineering, the fact that he could be left with such an injury already showed that he was a very strong man.

Barrett really didn't expect it.

The three people around the Straw Hat Boy, each of them has stronger strength than Marco, the captain of the first team of the Whitebeard Pirates.

Although this strength is not as good as his, it is already at the same level.

This is already very scary.

Even with his strength, he would definitely be defeated if he was besieged by two beings of this level.

It is hard to imagine that a pirate group with only ten people would have so many monsters.

With his strength, he couldn't even touch the Straw Hat Boy and was repelled.

"Interesting, you are worthy of being the man who has won the straw hat of Captain Roger and the recognition of the monster Whitebeard. Although I have not seen your strength, I can see it from the crew alone."

Barrett grinned.

"I am becoming more and more interested in you, Straw Hat Luffy."

Having just been repelled, facing the terrifying strength of the Straw Hat Pirates, he was not afraid at all, but became more eager to fight.

"What a tough monster."

Sanji shook his ankle slightly.

Only when they really fight can they feel how terrifying the opponent is.

Barrett's terrifying strength and physical fitness are beyond the physical fitness of even him who has broken through the limit. It is definitely beyond the physical fitness of the admiral level.

And his physical skills are also very strong. Unlike the three admirals who rely on the top natural fruit, Barrett, a physical skill expert, becomes more terrifying after reaching a certain level.

Especially in a one-on-one fight.

"That Armament Haki is very troublesome."

Zoro also looked at Barrett with a serious look.

The opponent did not use the Conqueror's Haki just now, but the strength of the Armament Haki made people doubt whether it could be practiced by humans.

Zoro's own Armament Haki is already very strong, even Luffy is on par with him.

But compared with Barrett in front of him, Zoro clearly felt the gap.

It is conceivable how powerful Barrett's Armament Haki is.

"Hey, Barrett, why are you attacking us? Aren't you a partner of Uncle Rayleigh and Shanks?"

Luffy didn't attack Barrett directly at this moment.

A big reason for this was that during the time at the top, Barrett confronted the navy with them, and later they retreated together.

In addition, due to his friendship with Shanks and Rayleigh,

Luffy never regarded Barrett as an enemy.

Therefore, he was very puzzled by Barrett's attack on them.

"Partner? What is that?"

Barrett raised his eyebrows and said,"Partners only make people weak. If you have concerns in your heart, the speed and strength of your punches will be greatly affected."

"Captain Roger and monsters like Whitebeard died because of their so-called partners and family. With their strength, they would become even more powerful without these ties." (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

"My goal is to be the strongest, the strongest beyond everything. I will not be bound by anything. The only goal and meaning of my existence till now is to fight. Only fighting can make me feel my definite existence."

"So, come on, Straw Hat Boy."

Barrett laughed wildly.

Zoro, Jinbei, and Sanji looked at him. Behind him, the auras of Marco, Fire Fist Ace, and Diamond Joz could not be ignored.

Barrett felt the powerful aura coming from the surroundings, and the smile on his face faded slightly.

In this state, these strong men around him definitely have the power to kill him.

Although he likes to challenge the strong, he is not a reckless fool.

This kind of battle that will not help him become stronger and will only lead to his death is not what he wants.

Thinking of this.

Barrett instantly stepped on a huge hemispherical pit on the ground, and his whole body, with the help of this terrifying recoil force, disappeared in the encirclement in an instant.

Appeared on the steel submarine on the seashore.

Zoro, Sanji and Jinbei did not make a move to stop him.

It was not because Barrett was too fast and they didn't have time, but because their captain did not say that he wanted to start a war.

"There are too many interference factors in this battle. Come to Wano Country, Straw Hat Boy, and have a real fight. I'll wait for you in Wano Country."

Barrett stood on the steel submarine and grinned.

A purple light emanated from his body, which allowed him to directly integrate into the steel submarine.

"What kind of ability is that?"

Sanji held a cigarette in his mouth and looked at the purple light on Barrett's body with a serious look in his eyes.

He is so powerful in physical skills, physique, and domineering, but he is also a devil fruit user? How exaggerated is his true strength?

"What do you mean, Luffy?

Zoro looked at Luffy who had been silent all the time and asked.

"This time, we must be going to fight."

Jinbei said with a serious face.

There was still a possibility of negotiation before, but looking at Barrett's crazy look,

I am afraid that even if the historical text of the road sign is useless to him, he will use it to demand a fight with Luffy.

This kind of madman who lives for fighting is so troublesome.

"That uncle, his heart is not what he said."

Luffy, who had been silent all this time, raised his head and looked at the place where the submarine disappeared. His tone was low and full of inexplicable meaning:"He is in pain and confusion in his heart."

"Pain? Confused?"

Sanji couldn't imagine that these two words could be associated with the monster that just suddenly collapsed.

Just speaking of the pressure.

Barrett is simply a real monster. Among all the people Sanji has fought so far, only Barrett gave him this terrifying and suffocating pressure.

Even Kizaru couldn't give him this feeling. Moreover

, this was the feeling he had when facing Barrett after his breakthrough. It is conceivable how terrifying the other party is.

Such a person, with a body that has been tempered a thousand times, every punch is the condensation of pure fighting will. Such a person dares to move towards the goal of being the strongest in the world. His courage and will must be unimaginably firm.

"The successor of the ghost, Douglas Barrett, I know this person.

Marco flew down from the sky and said with a serious face.

"He was born in the Land of Endless War and was hailed as a hero. Later, he boarded Roger's ship. Because of his terrifying talent and strength, he fought a tie with the then Pluto Rayleigh when he was fifteen years old."

"At the age of seventeen, he was called the Demon Heir by the people on the sea because of his powerful strength. Everyone thought that he had inherited Roger's demonic strength."

"But a year later, for some reason, he got off Roger's ship and became famous on the sea. After Roger's death, he made a big fuss on the sea and was summoned by the warship led by the warship of the then Sengoku hero Garp to kill him. After that, he disappeared."

"It was during the war at the top that we learned that he had been imprisoned on the sixth floor of Impel Prison for so many years. Looking at his current terrifying strength, it is hard to imagine how hard he had practiced in prison."

Marco's explanation gave Luffy and the others a deeper understanding of Barrett, a man as fierce as a ghost.

This is a pursuit of power, to the point of perversion.

The sixth floor of Impel Prison is a place where it is good to be alive. Barrett can actually improve his strength in it. This will is so strong that it makes people feel terrified.

"My feeling is not wrong. I will fight him in Wano Country."

Luffy said seriously without a smirk.

He had never felt that kind of pain and confusion before. It was like he was the only one left in the world. He didn't know why he was fighting, why he was punching, but he was fighting for the sake of fighting, punching for the sake of punching, and becoming strong for the sake of becoming strong.

"I will let him know how powerful it is to have a partner. He should have had a partner, but he chose to abandon him in the end."

Luffy thought of Uncle Rayleigh.

The uncle who helped him a lot, looked at Barrett with regret.

He didn't understand at the time, but now he knows why Uncle Rayleigh looked at Barrett with such regretful and even pitiful eyes.

The people in Roger's pirate group also wanted to pull Barrett back, but unfortunately for various reasons, they failed to retain Barrett and did not dispel the confusion in Barrett's heart.

Luffy decided to help Rayleigh do what he had not done but wanted to do.

As for how to do it.

Of course, it is to beat him up to wake him up.

In the deep sea.

A submarine that looks like a whale is sailing in the dark water.

Barrett sat in the narrow cockpit, and the smile on his face had long disappeared.

""Partners?"

Barrett muttered in a low voice.

The Zoro, Jinbei, and Sanji in front of the Straw Hat Boy just now reminded him of his past.

"Hey, Barrett, you're challenging the captain again. Haha, you're such a stubborn guy."

"Barrett, eat quickly. After you are full, beat the captain hard. You definitely have the potential."

"You may be the only one who can inherit the position of captain in the future, Barrett."

"Did you train hard today as well? Barrett."

A series of familiar voices seemed to ring in his ears, and scenes of laughter and joy emerged in his mind.

The happy time was just like yesterday. Those were the happiest three years of his life.

Since he was born, he had spent most of the more than forty years in blood and fire, blood and betrayal. There was only fighting and the meaning of existence as a cold weapon. In the more than forty years, there were not many happy times worth remembering.

Only the three years on Roger's ship were full of vivid colors in his dim gray memory.

He once had a partner.

Such a When did the memory end?

Yes, it was when Captain Roger got an incurable disease.

He was going to die.

He was so strong, but he still lost to the disease.

No, it was not the disease, he lost to his concern and his partners.

I don't need any concerns, I don't need any feelings, it is enough for me to be the strongest, I don't need any partners, even the disease can't defeat me.

Barrett's eyes suddenly opened, full of madness.

All the warm and beautiful pictures were forcibly suppressed in his heart, and the crazy smile like a mask reappeared on his face.

"Captain Roger, I will become the strongest in the world."

Barrett said calmly and lowly in the dark deep sea, in the cockpit where he was the only one.

There was no madness, only deep loneliness and determination.
