One Piece: The Discreet Barrett

Chapter 63 O'Hara

After half a month...

West Sea - O'Hara
Qiqin looked at the giant tree on the island not far away in shock and said, "Is that the legendary tree of omniscience?!"

Barrett smiled and nodded, "Yes, the Omniscient Tree!"

Qiqin looked at Barrett curiously and said, "Captain, I remember this is the favorite holy place for archaeologists, don't you also like to study history?"

Barrett nodded and smiled, "That's right, I like studying history!"

Qiqin looked at Barrett in surprise and said, "Really? But I've never seen the captain read a book before."

The corners of Barrett's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this. For some reason, Qiqin's attitude towards him has changed since she came out of Murloc Island.

Sighing, Barrett said in a deep voice, "Let's pretend, there should be intelligence personnel from the World Government on the island."

Qiqin was surprised and said, "World Government?!"

Barrett nodded and said in a deep voice, "This place will be subject to the Demon Slaughter Order soon!"

Qiqin was startled when she heard the words: "Devil Slaughter Order?!"

Zhu Yan, who was at the helm, asked curiously, "Captain, what is the Demon Slaughter Order?"

Barrett frowned and said in a deep voice: "The Demon Slaughter Order is an indiscriminate and destructive attack on the area that sends out the signal, and is used to completely eliminate things and people in an area that threatens the rule of the world government."

After a pause, Barrett continued: "The minimum configuration of the Demon Slaughter Order is ten warships, five lieutenant generals, and the navy's elite combat force, and there are generals to follow in special cases."

Zhu Yan scratched his head in doubt, "Then why did the world government destroy this place?"

Barrett shook his head and said in a deep voice, "Because they touched the bottom line of the world government."

Qiqin stared blankly at Barrett and said in a deep voice, "Captain, are you talking about the blank 100-year history?!"

Barret nodded, looked at Qiqin who suddenly became smarter, and smiled, "That's right!"

Barrett also lamented the madness of these scholars about history. The world government has banned research, and you still commit crimes against the wind. If you don’t destroy who you destroy?

The Evil Wolf did not dock at the pier, but still chose a deserted beach, and only after packing up everything did everyone go ashore.

Barrett looked up at the omniscient tree in the distance and said with a smile, "Let's go to the town and find a place to rest."

The crowd came to the town through the woods. The town is more like a village, with a few houses scattered on both sides of the cobblestone road.

"Snapped!"

"oops!"

Barrett felt his calf being hit by someone and looked down in confusion, only to see a little girl with black hair sitting on the ground in pain, clutching her head.

Barrett squatted down and looked at the little girl with a smile: "It's all right."

Hearing this, the little girl quickly stood up and bowed, "Sorry! I didn't mean it!"

Barrett was taken aback when he heard the words, and then the moment the little girl raised her head, Barrett blurted out: "Robin?!"

The little girl was also taken aback and said, "You...know me?!"

Barrett quickly shook his head and smiled, "No, I have a niece who is very similar to you, and her name is also Robin."

Robin patted her skirt and said with a smile: "That's really fate. If there is a chance, we can meet each other. Goodbye."

After speaking, Robin turned and ran in the direction of the omniscient tree.

Qiqin on the side asked suspiciously: "Captain, do you really know that little girl?"

Barrett shook his head and smiled, "I don't know her, but she really looks like my niece."

Now Barrett's face doesn't blush when he tells a lie, Qiqin casts her eyes at Barrett and doesn't say anything more.

The three of them and one wolf found an inn that looked like a courtyard and lived there. The owner of the inn was an old man in his 60s. His name was Buqi, and he looked very knowledgeable with a pair of glasses.

The old man was also very talkative, and the more he chatted with Barrett, the more excited he became.

Buqi heard Barrett's idea and said excitedly: "Let (Barrett's pseudonym) if your idea can really be realized, what will the world look like? It's really incredible!"

Barrett was already very excited after just chatting about the SH-ism system Buqi. Originally, Barrett wanted to have the opportunity to teach Long a good lesson in the future, but now he has an audience in advance.

After learning about the experience of Barrett and others, Buqi wondered: "Did your ship encounter a shipwreck?"

Barrett nodded and sighed, "Yes, but luckily a passing merchant ship saved us."

Buqi pushed his glasses and said in a deep voice, "I think you are more like pirates."

Everyone was surprised when they heard the words, and the atmosphere suddenly became serious, and then Buqi suddenly smiled and said: "Of course that is impossible. How could a pirate be as educated as Leiter? I'm sorry for making a little joke."

Everyone let out a sigh of relief when they heard the words, and Barrett rolled his eyes. He almost couldn't hold back the old man's overbearing arrogance just now.

Buqi stood up from the rocking chair and said with a smile: "You are all guests, why are you standing up, find a place to sit, I haven't talked so much since my wife left."

Then Buqi looked at the sunset that was slowly falling and said in surprise: "Is it so late already? Let me prepare dinner for you!"

When Qiqin heard the cooking, she excitedly said, "Uncle Buqi, I'll help you too!"

Barrett quickly grabbed Qiqin's little hand and said in a daze, "Qiqin, that, you go to rest, and I'll help Uncle Buqi with the cooking!"

Qiqin stared blankly at Barrett who was holding her hand, and in the next second, Qiqin withdrew her hand like an electric shock and turned away from looking at Barrett.

Confused and embarrassed, Barrett smiled and turned to catch up with Buqi.

In the evening, Barrett finally understood the meaning of not being judged by one's appearance. Although Buqi is 1.7 meters tall and thin and frail, he is fierce when drinking.

Buqi raised his wine glass and laughed loudly: "Old man, I haven't been this happy for a long time, maybe I will talk more, but I am really happy to meet you group of children, old man, hahahaha!"

Putting down the wine glass, Buqi pulled Barrett's sign language and said earnestly: "Rett, you must take good care of the girls when you go abroad, back then..."

Buqi began to talk about his love history when he was young, and at the end he winked at Qiqin and Barrett.

The corners of Barrett's mouth twitched in embarrassment, and Qi Qin didn't know why, after eating something, she returned to her room on the grounds that she was not feeling well.

After drinking for three rounds, Barrett frowned at Buqi who was soundly asleep. Sure enough, once people have feelings, they will have concerns, and many things will be complicated.

Barrett's brows tightened when he thought that this beautiful island would disappear in the slaying of demons in the near future.

In the dim room, Qiqin curled up on the bed with "Han Ci" in her arms, pouted and cursed softly: "Idiot..."

……

The next morning.

Buqi looked at Barrett who was pouring vegetables in the yard and said in a daze, "Ah! Leiter! I'm really bothering you."

Barrett shook his head and said with a smile, "I have nothing to do here, and I'm still idle, why don't I find some work."

Buqi hurriedly stopped Barrett and said, "No, no, there are very few young people with avant-garde thinking like you, how can you do such foul language, go, I will take you to a good place!"

Barrett frowned and looked at the omniscient tree in the distance, and immediately knew where the good place Buqi said was.

Barrett nodded and smiled, "Okay!"

Barrett was wondering how to find a reason to enter the Omniscient Tree. He was really sleepy and someone gave him a pillow.

After everyone cleaned up, Buqi happily led them along the cobblestone path to the Omniscient Tree.

Everyone on the road greeted Buqi, "Master Buqi!"

Buqi also replied with a smile: "Okay!"

Soon everyone came to the tree of omniscience, and as soon as they entered the door, they met two scholars who were arguing. After seeing Buqi, the two scholars stopped their quarrel and greeted Buqi, which shows that Buqi's status is not ordinary.

Qiqin looked up at the bookshelves and said in shock: "It's so high!"

Barrett nodded and smiled: "This is the O'Hara Library, the place with the most books and scholars in the world, a real paradise for scholars!"

Buqi nodded and smiled in front: "That's right!"

"It's you?!"

Barrett heard the sound and looked, and saw little Robin holding a book and looking at everyone in surprise.

Barrett nodded and smiled, "What a coincidence!"

"Robin! Come here!"

Robin stared blankly at the crowd, responded and turned to leave.

"Hahaha!!! Come here, everyone! My research has made a new breakthrough!!!"

　The third one is here, thanks for your support.
