Chapter 130 Who Do You Want to Surpass? (5-star review required)
Ignoring Atesan's shock, Barrett lowered his lips, the smile on his face gradually faded, and he asked seriously:
"Say that again? Who did you just say you wanted to surpass?"
Artesan already felt a little guilty, but some people would still remain stubborn even if they were burned to ashes.
"I, I said I'm the man who will surpass Pirate King Roger! What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
A cold light flashed in Barrett's eyes.
"Boom!"
Dirk, who was standing nearby, was startled. He only heard a loud noise and didn't see clearly what happened. The next second, Artesan, who was still standing and shouting, disappeared, and a human-shaped hole appeared out of thin air on the wall on the right side of the tavern.
"A piece of trash like you isn't even worthy of mentioning that man's name!"
Barrett didn't look at him again. A real man never looks back at the explosion. He was 100% sure that the other party was dead and even Jesus couldn't make him sit up. Barrett continued to pick up the wine on the table and drank it.
Roger, why would a strong man like you choose to die in such a humiliating way at the hands of the navy?
Being strong is the most important thing. Look at the pirates you created. They are just trash! Even if there are hundreds of millions of pirates without faith and strength, what good can they do? It turns out that the best ending is for you to die in my hands!
Barrett thought to himself.
Pirate King Roger, the man who defeated him countless times, was the goal he wanted to surpass all his life, but in the end he failed to defeat Roger when he was at the peak of his strength. Instead, even when Roger was suffering from a terminal illness and his strength was not as good as before, he still could not defeat Roger, which made Barrett feel very frustrated.
So Barrett decided to leave. He didn't want to see Roger gradually weakening. Such a Roger would be meaningless to defeat. He wanted to keep the strongest Roger in his memory, become the strongest in the world as soon as possible, and do things that Roger couldn't do, in order to prove that he was stronger than the peak Roger!
I drank a lot faster because I had something on my mind, and when I came to my senses, the bottle was empty again.
"Boss, keep bringing the wine!"
"Ah, good guest, coming right up."
It took the boss a while to come back to his senses, seeing this ruthless man easily kill the pirate with a bounty of tens of millions. He didn't even see how he killed him, but he knew very well what he needed to do most now.
"Enjoy your meal, sir!"
The boss enthusiastically brought a box of fine wine that he had collected for more than ten years and placed it on the bar, and said politely.
"That guy just now said he was a big pirate with a bounty, right?"
The boss did not dare to neglect and quickly answered:
"Yes, sir, he is King Kong Atesan, with a bounty of 4500 million berries!"
"Oh, then his head will be your payment for the wine!"
Barrett said nonchalantly.
"Ah this...thank you sir!"
The tavern owner was ecstatic. That was more than 40 million heads. It seemed like he was really lucky. It wasn't in vain that he stepped on shit this morning!
After saying that, Barrett walked over to the side and found a wooden box to sit on. The chair next to the bar could not support his big butt.
"Squeak!"
The wooden box let out a painful wail as it endured pressure that it shouldn't have to endure at its age.
Picking up a newspaper scattered on the ground at random, Barrett sat down leisurely, drinking whiskey and reading the newspaper.
Dirk was completely ignored. He wanted to escape but knew he couldn't. Having been in the New World for several years, he knew very well that in front of these real monsters, his strength was no different from that of his minions. It was all a matter of one punch and no one could resist much. So he didn't dare to move at all. He stayed where he was honestly, not even daring to sit down.
The tavern fell into a strange silence.
After a long while, Barrett grinned and said disdainfully:
"Haha, this is ridiculous! A man who killed a few small fish and shrimps dares to use the title of "God"! Is this the nightmare of pirates?
I want to see how powerful you are! You, a bounty hunter, dare to think of stopping Roger from causing a wave of pirates with his death? The only one who can surpass Captain Roger is me! I am the strongest in the world!"
"Hey, over there!"
Barrett put down the newspaper and shouted to Dirk next to him.
"Ah! Yes! Sir, what do you want?"
Feeling Barrett's gaze on him, Dirk shuddered all over. With the previous experience of Artesan, the reckless man, in order to survive, Dirk naturally switched his identity and became a lackey in seconds.
"Haha, find a way to help me find this guy, or lure him here, can you do it?"
"Gudong!"
Dirk swallowed and thought to himself, how could I say no in this situation?
"No problem! Absolutely no problem! Don't worry, sir. I promise to complete the mission. To be honest, I was also very angry after seeing this report. A mere bounty hunter dares to be so high-profile. He simply doesn't take us pirates seriously! There is no need for you to take action yourself to deal with such small characters. I can get rid of them!"
Dirk said confidently, eager to prove his worth.
"Don't do anything unnecessary! Just tell me when you find it or try to lure it here. Got it?"
Barrett asked in a somewhat unhappy tone.
"Understand, understand! I understand, sir!"
Dirk stammered in reply, he felt like he was walking on a tightrope, and his life would be in danger if Barrett frowned.
"Wake up your men and do your job quickly. You can also try to escape directly, provided that you can."
Barrett gave a meaningful smile.
He has seen too much betrayal and is used to it.
Dirk looked at the playful expression on Barrett's face, as if he was expecting him to escape, and he quickly said he didn't dare.
"I will wait here for your good news. I hope you won't make me wait too long. My patience is not very good!"
"Yes, sir! I promise to complete the task and I will not let you down!"
"Go."
Barrett continued drinking.
The tavern owner's face fell, it turned out that the 4500 million was not so easy to get. It seemed that the big Buddha would have to live in his small temple for a while, and he would have to be carefully served with good wine and delicious food every day, and he would have to live in fear all day long and could not sleep well.
"Hey!"
The boss sighed. He had no right to refuse and could only take things one step at a time.
