Chapter 419 Devil's Descendant
Vic couldn't stand Zhiyuan's gaze and could only think of changing the subject. It would be a good opportunity to talk about the enemy that Zhiyuan and Kaji couldn't deal with, so that they could know each other better. It would also be a good topic to talk about while eating.
"This time, the enemy is known as the 'Devil's Heir'. His name is Douglas Barrett. Like you, he is also called a monster!
When he was fourteen or fifteen years old, he was betrayed by his own country and his country was destroyed. He left the country of his birth in despair. Later, he met Roger's pirate group by chance at sea.
The two sides had a conflict for unknown reasons, and after being defeated by Roger, he joined Roger's pirate group, just to become stronger and defeat Roger.
After joining, he challenged Roger several times, but was defeated by Roger every time. At this time, Barrett had no rivals on Roger's ship except for his defeat to Roger and a tie with Pluto Rayleigh! "
Garp spoke slowly while eating, saying that it was already before the war and it was necessary to inform his subordinates of the enemy's information.
"Barrett? Is he still at large?"
Vic was a little surprised and shouted out involuntarily, because in his memory, Barrett should have been imprisoned on the sixth floor of Impel Down long ago!
Because Barrett fought recklessly on the sea, causing huge damage and threats, he should have been defeated by the old man and Sengoku with the Demon Slaying Order and imprisoned in Impel Down at the age of 22!
But Barrett is almost 28 years old now? He is still wreaking havoc on the sea? Why is there such a big deviation here?
Vic wondered if he had come to a parallel world of pirates, but when he thought about the fact that he had traveled to this world, it could be considered a parallel world, separated from the original pirate world, and the future direction might also change!
"No wonder the old man brought the Golden Den Den Mushi that launched the Demon Slayer Order. I thought it was for Golden Lion, but I didn't expect the target was actually Barrett!
Was it because of my appearance that Zhan Guo didn't follow the old man? Or was it because Barrett didn't come out to plunder and destroy the balance of the sea in the previous few years? So the navy didn't target him?
Was it Barrett's own decision that delayed his capture and impelling to Impel Down? But with these extra years of free time, Barrett should have become even more powerful, right? No wonder Gion and Kake couldn't defeat him together, Barrett is indeed a monster!"
Vic thought to himself that Barrett’s talent was indeed good. He did not give up practicing even after being captured and taken to Impel Down, as if he knew he could get out!
Two years after his release, he did something big, which was the Battle for the Perpetual Pointer of Raftel, also known as the Pirate Expo.
With so many supernovas, Shichibukai, vice admirals, CP0, and even admirals stationed on the periphery just in case, he is not afraid at all!
The Armament Haki seems to be endless, and the Conqueror Haki has also reached the point where it can affect real objects, but the impact is so small that it is like a drizzle hitting others.
It's nowhere near as strong as Shanks's, which can crack the side of a ship like a sledgehammer, but it's still enough to crush King Luffy.
At that time, Barrett didn't know how to use the Conqueror's Haki yet, and was defeated with the help of others and Luffy's indomitable will. This battle can be said to be a glorious defeat, but with the admirals of the navy protecting him, it would be difficult for Barrett to escape unscathed even if he defeated everyone on the island!
"Yes! Barrett fought Roger again after learning that Roger had a terminal illness, and left Roger's pirate group after being defeated!
Maybe he feels that he is not strong enough. He has not shown up in all these years. He must be hiding somewhere to practice hard.
The Navy doesn't pay much attention to this kind of semi-reclusive pirate, mainly because we don't have that many high-end military forces. As long as they don't cause trouble, we will turn a blind eye!
I just didn't expect that after he showed up this time, he started to frantically challenge the strong men on the sea. Wherever he went, even the civilians were rarely alive. This department had to pay attention to him!"
Garp continued to introduce that this was also the reason why he had been in a hurry all the way. If he delayed for one more day, tens of thousands of lives might be lost. Fortunately, Gion and Kake had been interfering with Barrett, otherwise the civilian casualties would be even greater.
"Because Kaji and I have been harassing and stopping Barrett from attacking civilians, he has gathered a lot of desperate people to work for him.
The two of us were held back by Barrett alone, and we could only watch his men slaughter civilians without being able to do anything. With your help this time, we will definitely be able to take down Barrett!"
After Garp finished speaking, Gion told him another piece of news with red eyes. Everyone could see the unwilling expression on his face. He must have been very depressed during this period.
After hearing what Garp and Gion said, the atmosphere at the table became much more solemn. The enemy was not only powerful but also a bit crazy. They had not learned the way of doing things from Roger's pirate group at all. They were indeed inferior to Red-Hair Shanks.
This may have a lot to do with Barrett's experience. Unlike Shanks, who has lived on Roger's ship since he was a child and behaves in the same way as Roger.
Barrett was simply conquered by Roger's strength. Without Roger's suppression, he could do anything crazy. Barrett is now out of control, and the navy has no choice but to intervene.
"Barrett is also a superhuman devil fruit user, and his fruit ability has awakened! The powerful domineering power combined with the awakening of the fruit ability is really tricky!
It's best to make a quick decision this time and attack him directly! We can't let him get away with it any longer. If we delay for too long, a large number of civilians will die!"
After a moment of silence at the table, Kaji also revealed an important message.
Other people may not know this information, but Vic had already confirmed that Barrett's fruit had awakened, because when Barrett appeared in the previous life's fanaticism, he was already in the awakened state of the fruit.
Although it has been two years since he left Impel Down, Victor doesn't believe that Barrett ate the devil fruit and developed it to awakening in these two years.
And it is highly unlikely that he awakened within the past two years. Being imprisoned on the sixth floor of Impel Down with seastone handcuffs, he has no way to use and develop his fruit ability.
So he must have developed the fruit to the awakened state before being caught, so Vic had already guessed what Kake said and was mentally prepared.
“Vic! You will be the main attacker this time. You and Barrett should be equally strong. If something unexpected happens and I take action again, the others will clip Barrett’s wings and defeat him completely this time!”
Garp did not decide to besiege Barrett. If Barrett was defeated by siege, everyone present would have contributed, and no matter how great the credit was, it would not make much sense to disperse it.
