One Piece: The Discreet Barrett

Chapter 40 I, Barrett, Want to Be a Four Emperors

Barrett, who was bound into a mummy, stood up with difficulty and said helplessly, "Qiqin, which island is the closest to us?"

Qiqin opened the nautical chart, put the compass on the chart, looked left and right, and said in a daze, "The nearest to us, Captain, is a small island with no name."

Barrett sighed and said lightly, "Let's go there to rest first!"

Barrett suddenly missed the days of being a blacksmith in Rogue Town, although it was very boring, it was very ordinary, not to mention being a large mummy on the deck.

When Roger was executed, Ben Song also wanted to join in the fun, but was knocked out by Barrett and stayed in the knife shop, otherwise he would end up like those civilians in the square. Some people fell asleep and never woke up again.

Sighing, Barrett decided to visit Rogue Town again in the future. The most important thing now is to recover from his injuries.

……

Unknowingly, Barrett and his party have been floating in the sea for three or four days.

During this period, I met many Lengtou Qinghai pirates. Of course, these Lengtou Qinghai pirates became Qiqin's souls.

Barrett had to marvel at the level of insanity that Roger's words caused.

Compared with the madness of the sea, Barrett pays more attention to Qiqin's state. At this time, Qiqin is already in a critical state, and as long as there is an opportunity, she can break through and become a swordsman at the level of cutting iron.

Qiqin, who was sitting cross-legged on the deck, suddenly opened her eyes and said in a deep voice, "Captain, is there any steel..."

Barrett frowned when he heard this, pulled out a steel bar from the system space and threw it into the air.

"Crack!"

"ceng!"

Qiqin instantly stood up, drew her saber and slashed out.

"Boom..."

Barrett frowned looking at the steel bar that fell on the ground, and murmured, "Is it only cut in half?"

Qiqin squatted halfway on the deck and sighed deeply as she looked at the smooth cut in the middle of the steel bar that was only half separated.

Barrett looked at Qiqin who was sighing and smiled lightly: "Qiqin, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, you are very close to that realm!"

After listening to Barrett's words, Qiqin nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, Captain, I understand."

While speaking, Qiqin looked at the "Han Ci" in her hand and murmured: "Captain, I really want to become stronger, so strong that I can fight side by side with the captain! Next time it's my turn to protect the captain!"

Barrett was taken aback when he heard the words, and smiled relievedly at Qiqin's firm eyes, what kind of gift did he give God in his previous life to meet such a big baby in this life.

"Gull Gull Gull!"

Discordant voices broke this warm scene.

Rek, who was bathed in light on the deck, shook his ears twice and stood up abruptly, then leaped into the air with a charged jump.

"gull!"

With a scream, Lake pushed a newspaper delivery gull on the deck. Seeing the screaming and struggling newspaper delivery gull under the wolf's claws, Lake couldn't help licking the wolf's mouth with his saliva-stained tongue.

Under the sunlight, it could be clearly seen that Lake had already started to swallow, and the newspaper delivery gull was terrified. Looking at Barrett and Qiqin who were not far away, they screamed crazily.

Seeing this, Qiqin stepped forward and laughed, "Lake! Let it go!"

Lake glanced at Qiqin and twitched her mouth a few times, finally letting go of the newspaper delivery gull.

The frightened newspaper gull screams and flies away after being released.

Just when the newspaper delivery gull stood up and was about to spread its wings to soar, a cold long knife was pressed against the newspaper delivery gull's neck.

"gull?!"

The newspaper delivery gull trembled and turned to look at Qiqin whose eyes were glowing red, startled, this is just out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's den!

Qiqin smiled and stared at the newspaper delivery gull and said, "Don't be in a hurry, please bring some recent newspapers."

The newspaper delivery gull swallowed humanly, took out a few newspapers from the small bag he was carrying, and handed them to Qiqin.

Qiqin took the newspaper and put the [-] Baileys in the newspaper delivery gull's bag. The newspaper delivery gull just wanted to make a few gestures to show that the money was not enough, but when he saw Lake with green eyes shining green, he turned around in fright and flew away.

Qiqin looked at the newspaper delivery gull flying away, waved her hands and said with a smile: "Goodbye!"

"gull!"

Lake watched the newspaper delivery gull fly away with his beak, helplessly twitched his beak twice and lay down on the deck to bask in the light again.

Qiqin came to Barrett with a newspaper and smiled excitedly: "Captain! This time I took four newspapers and gave it two copies hahaha!"

Barrett smiled and said, "What a calculating little rich woman!"

Upon hearing this, Qiqin raised her head and laughed, "Of course! Although you have money, you can't spend it recklessly!"

Barrett smiled and took the two newspapers handed over by Qiqin, but was taken aback for a moment.

The first newspaper's hot headline section was a big picture of him.

The villain—Douglas Barrett, a former member of the Roger Pirates, once killed government officials in Saraasi, and now he is making a big fuss in the execution ground. He has committed a heinous crime. He was intercepted by the navy and escaped after being seriously injured. A reward of 30 billion Baileys is offered!
The corners of Barrett's mouth twitched slightly as he looked at the eye-catching big characters, which directly described Barrett as a heinous person. The bounty hunters and pirates take their own heads, "shrimp and pig heart" (no mistake!!!) The world government is ruthless enough!
For the next one, Barrett frowned when he saw the upright Sengoku in the newspaper, "The new admiral of the Navy—Sengoku." He didn't expect that Sengoku would take over so soon.

Then Barrett looked at the subtitle below, Naval Nova?
Looking down, there are three people: red dog, green pheasant, and yellow monkey.

"Pfft!"

Barrett almost laughed out loud looking at the yellow ape's face. He thought that the middle-aged yellow ape was funny enough, but he didn't expect the young yellow ape to be more fun.

When Qiqin heard Barrett's laughter, she looked up at Barrett and said, "What's wrong with the captain?!"

Barrett smiled and handed the newspaper in her hand to Qiqin. Qiqin was taken aback when she saw the yellow ape in the photo, and then laughed along with Barrett.

Qiqin wiped away the tears from her eyes and said with a smile: "Captain, he's too old to be beaten!"

"hiss"

Barrett hastily took a deep breath and stopped laughing. He laughed too much and pulled the wound a little bit.

Sighing, Barrett took the remaining two newspapers from Qiqin's hand and read them carefully.

"His Majesty Shichibukai's proposal!"

The seven big characters suddenly appeared in Barrett's eyes, and Barrett frowned and said, "Did you make the proposal so soon?"

Barrett originally thought that the "Seven Warriors of the King" would appear in a few years, but he didn't expect that there would be a proposal so soon.

Fortunately, it is still in the proposal stage, and there is no real implementation, otherwise Barrett would want to be a fool. After all, having the amulet of "King Shichibukai" can save a lot of trouble.

However, considering the current relationship between Barrett and the World Government, don't even think about killing the members of the CP organization many times and discrediting the World Government, making yourself the "King Qiwuhai"?It would be good if he didn't activate the Demon Slaughter Order to destroy himself.

Qiqin stood next to Barrett and asked in doubt: "Captain, are your Majesty Shichibukai very powerful?"

Barrett smiled and said, "It's just seven more powerful pirates."

Qiqin was stunned when she heard the words: "Pirates?!"

Barret nodded and smiled, "Yes, Shichibukai are all pirates, but they all say that they are legal pirates and will not be wanted by the navy, but the policy of Shichibukai is still on paper. It has not been implemented, but I am curious how the owner of this newspaper knows this information."

Qiqin stuck out her tongue when she heard Wangxia Qiwuhai's treatment and said excitedly: "Captain, should we fight? After all, you are so powerful, Captain!"

Barrett laughed directly when he heard the words, and thought to himself, silly girl, you captain, I also want to fight, but unfortunately there is no platform. Wu Hai?To lure wolves into the house?

Barrett waved his hands and smiled, "No, this one is too small, if you want to fight, you have to fight for a big one!"

Qiqin looked at Barrett suspiciously and said in surprise: "Captain, is there anyone better than this? Be the Pirate King?!"

Even Lake, who was basking in the light upright, pricked up his wolf ears and listened carefully.

Barrett stared at the distant sea with deep eyes and smiled, "If you want to be one of us, let's be one of the Four Emperors!"
