Chapter 442 Barrett Awakens
When Rebecca woke up, she found herself back in her own bed, which was the bed Kaji had arranged for her earlier, in the same room with Wendy and Ian.
Rebecca stretched her body and turned her head to see that Wendy and Ian were both sleeping soundly. She did not wake them up and tiptoed out of the room.
When Rebecca finished washing up and walked out of the cabin, she saw two familiar figures appear on the deck. One was Vic, who was sitting cross-legged as always with his eyes closed, exuding a tranquil atmosphere.
Rebecca didn't look at Vic for long, because another figure attracted her more. She knew it was Gion from the back.
But at this time, Gion was not sitting in a wheelchair. Instead, she was standing at the bow, with her elbows resting on the side of the boat, her hands on her cheeks, and looking at the rising sun in the distance. Gion was exuding vitality like the sun, and she was in good health.
Gion had never been injured so badly before. It was not until she sat in a wheelchair for a whole day and was unable to move that she realized how precious it was to be able to move freely. So after being healed by Vic last night, she did not sleep again. She just stood not far from Vic, looking at the stars, clouds and the rising sun.
After Vic healed Gion, he put aside the delusions in his mind and began to practice. Through this battle with Barrett, he found that his development time was too short and his domineering power was still not as good as Barrett's.
Not only is the reserves but also the usage is inferior. Barrett is so difficult to deal with, what about the stronger Emperor of the Sea?
So Vic can't stop his daily domineering practice. This time, Gion was almost beaten to death. Will Rebecca be beaten to death by the sea emperor next time? Even if the medical skills are superb, can they really bring people back to life?
Maybe there is still a chance to save the person when he or she just died, but will others give you this chance? Will they just stand by and watch you save the person?
Although it is fundamental for companions to become stronger themselves, before they become stronger, Vic still has to act as a big umbrella to protect them from wind and rain.
Time passed slowly, and more and more people got up. They were all amazed to see that Gion had no signs of injury.
Several girls were chattering and laughing. Kake almost cried when he saw Gion recovered. He thanked Vic profusely and almost wiped his snot on Vic's clothes, making Vic's face turn black and Gion looked embarrassed. Everyone else was in a very good mood, leaving the last trace of gloom behind on the sea behind the warship.
……
"what!"
"uh-huh!"
At noon, a loud scream accompanied by a strong domineering look spread throughout the entire warship. Many people could not bear it and fainted on the ground with foam at the mouth!
Vic snorted coldly. He knew that Barrett had woken up and started to act up as soon as he woke up. Barrett's devil fruit ability was only restricted by the seastone handcuffs, but seastone had no suppressive effect on domineering.
"I'll go check out the situation! Don't come over here, take care of the person who fainted!"
After saying this, Vic walked towards the temporary prison on the lower level of the cabin with a grim face. Although Gion was no longer in danger, it was because of Vic's superb medical skills that he was saved. If Vic had not developed this new ability, Gion would most likely have died!
What's more, Gion also lost some of his lifespan, which alone is already a great grudge. If Gion failed to rescue Barrett, Vic would have killed him, and I guess Garp would not have stopped him at that time. He is just a pirate, and death is death. Not everyone can use this devil fruit with the power of Barrett.
When Vic arrived outside Barrett's cell, he saw a large man trapped like a dumpling in seastone chains. The seastone handcuffs on his hands were still there, and he was fixed to the ground by four chains pulling him in four directions.
The wound on his chest that was pierced by Vic was simply bandaged by the military doctor. Barnett did not treat him. It was good enough that he was not killed. Why treat him? What a good thing. However, Barrett's vitality was really tenacious. He woke up so quickly and was able to release the domineering aura.
Vic looked at Barrett on the ground, and Barrett also looked at Vic outside the cell door with his eyes slanted. The two looked at each other but no sparks flew.
One is the winner and the other is a prisoner. Barrett admires the strong and has no resentment towards Vic who could defeat him.
Although Vic has hatred for Barrett, the other party is already going to jail, so he doesn't care whether he can escape from prison in the future. He can defeat him now. If he escapes from prison and causes trouble next time, Vic will kill him directly. This time, Vic must send Barrett to Impel Down.
"What are you crazy about? I'm sending you to Impel Down to jail now. If you keep quiet, everyone will suffer less."
Vic is telling Barrett that he can't make any trouble as long as I'm around. Another way of threatening him is that if you make trouble, I'm going to deal with you.
"Hahaha! I can't cause any trouble even if I'm tied up so tightly. I just woke up and saw that I was tied up, so I wanted to vent my anger. I'm going to spend the rest of my life in Impel Down, so it's not too much to vent a little, right?"
Barrett didn't care and had no awareness of being a prisoner, which was similar to Doflamingo's state when he was imprisoned.
The great pirates don't seem to care much about going to jail, maybe it's because they have already gambled their lives on it, and they are not afraid of death so why would they be afraid of going to jail? They have already put life and death aside and have realized that those who are afraid of death cannot become great pirates.
"Let me make a request to you. If you agree, I will have the kitchen deliver meals to you every day, the same as what we eat. Then you can stay in the cell peacefully, and I won't do anything to you. Let's go to Push City peacefully?"
Vic came to Barrett to warn him not to cause trouble, because he was not the only prisoner here, Barrett's men were also imprisoned here. If Barrett joined forces with these people to cause trouble, Vic would have to work hard again.
Then he remembered that Barrett also had some value, so he could use him. Some food was no problem, and he could complete a deal that was good for both of us, but might not be so good for everyone.
"Oh! Tell me."
Barrett did not refuse directly. He could not beat Vic in a head-on fight, and now he was injured and had seastone on his body. Even if he made trouble, he would be suppressed. He would not do that. It would be nice to be able to live in peace and eat and drink well and go to Push City. It depends on whether Vic's request is too excessive. He would rather die than comply with any abnormal request.
"It's very simple. Just release your Conqueror's Haki twice a day, morning and evening. Just release it for two minutes. It won't cause any loss to you."
Vic said calmly, this requirement is not high, as long as you don't cause trouble, just release the domineering color every day to hone the people on the warship. It is indeed very simple for Barrett, and it does not do anything to humiliate him. On the contrary, it can enhance his ferocity.
"Hahaha! I promised, tell the person who delivers the meal not to be late!"
Barrett naturally knew Vic's purpose, but he didn't care. He had already controlled his domineering color to the point where he could use it at will.
He admired Vic for caring so much about his subordinates. He had also been brave enough to protect his subordinates until he was betrayed by his boss. The turning point of his fate also started from that time.
"I have a question. Why are you only looking for people to challenge on the sea now? Do you feel that you are not strong enough? Where were you during that time? Of course, you can choose not to answer."
This was the question that Vic had when he heard Barrett's name. It was also very different from the original plot and had nothing to do with his appearance. Even the butterfly effect would hardly have an impact on it.
In the original novel, Barrett was arrested and imprisoned six years ago, but Vic had only traveled here for more than a year six years ago. During that time, he had not even left Lep Island. How could he have affected Barrett who was far away in the New World? This was what Vic was very curious about.
"You have three questions, but I can tell you that they are not very important secrets.
When I was a teenager, I left the war-torn country that betrayed me and sailed alone on the sea in confusion!
One day I met a mysterious strong man. He saw my confusion and told me that the stronger I am, the fewer worries I will have and the freer I will be. When you become the strongest person in the world, your worries will drop to the lowest point.
I asked him how to become the strongest, and he only said one thing to me: keep fighting with stronger people, and when I defeat the strongest, I will be the strongest.
So I challenged people who were stronger than me everywhere, I got the devil fruit, learned domineering, and awakened the domineering color!
Until I met Captain Roger, his strength made me look up to him and excited, so Captain Roger became my goal. After being defeated by him, I decided to join his pirate group and challenge myself while becoming stronger!
Until I quit, I was no match for him. I couldn’t even beat Captain Roger who was terminally ill. I felt that I would never be able to surpass Captain Roger in this life, so I became a little discouraged and quit the Pirate Group! ......"
