One Piece: Establishing a Pirate Family

This filled Charlotte with a mix of excitement, trepidation, and a sliver of anticipation.

It cannot be explained in words.

Charlotte didn't take what the Golden Lion said to heart at all!

Stepping onto the deck, the sunlight bathed Charlotte, instantly lifting her spirits.

I have no emotional reaction to my defeat.

It's too early for me to fight against Marine Admiral Kong; my strength and Haki haven't reached their peak yet.

In this battle, Charlotte realized his weaknesses: speed and strength.

Especially in close combat, he couldn't keep up with the pace of the aerial battle.

They were suppressed from the very beginning and had no way to counterattack.

Even though his Observation Haki had given him a warning, it was still difficult to keep up with the speed.

This left Charlotte completely helpless.

He was beaten so badly he couldn't even muster a tantrum.

In particular, the opponent's Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki are both top-notch, and even his Observation Haki is not bad. His physique is worthy of his nickname, Steel Bone.

It can be said that they are suppressing them in every aspect.

I was able to persevere for a day thanks to my strong recovery ability and swordsmanship.

It's nothing compared to the previous Zephyr.

In his previous battle with Zephyr, he was able to fight Zephyr to a draw by relying on his Observation Haki and speed, although there was some exaggeration in that.

But the match ended in a draw.

"Sigh! I still need to practice more!"

Charlotte murmured as she looked at the boundless sea.

Just imagine how powerful Rocks must have been to drive the Navy out of the New World.

Charlotte stopped thinking about it; one day she would be able to stand at the top of the world just like them.

Charlotte never lost her indomitable spirit.

Losing isn't scary; what's scary is not being able to get back up after losing once. That's what's truly terrifying.

In the world of One Piece, many powerful figures have fallen because they couldn't get back up and lost confidence.

Such people are pathetic; they are destined to be eliminated by the world.

Charlotte shook her head. Why think so much? What does all this have to do with me? I don't want to think about it anymore!

How much longer until we reach our destination?

Charlotte stood by the helm and looked at the navigator, asking a question.

"Boss! It should be within an hour or two!"

The navigator said, carefully studying the nautical chart.

Charlotte also glanced at the islands pointed out by the navigator on the nautical chart with great interest.

Then his lips twitched.

There are five or six kingdoms on this tiny island; no wonder it's known for its endless wars.

Which website do we need to log in to?

Charlotte looked at the sea chart and asked.

"It's a place called Jarzburg, the only deep-water port that can accommodate every passing merchant ship!"

As a navigator, he had obviously gathered all the intelligence.

Jalzburg?

Charlotte didn't understand why the name felt familiar! But he quickly remembered that there was a very famous person from the Kingdom of Endless War in later generations.

Douglas Barrett, the Devil's Descendant.

This was arrested by the Navy through a Buster Call, along with Vice Admiral Garp and the future Admiral Sengoku.

This is quite an explosive existence even in the world of One Piece.

It seems that the only time Shiki could be dealt with by these two working together was when he single-handedly attacked the Marine Headquarters.

Thinking about this, Charlotte couldn't help but become interested in Douglas Barrett and wanted to recruit him.

Moreover, considering the timeline, Barrett was only about seven or eight years old at this time, making him very easy to subdue.

Thinking of this, Charlotte couldn't help but get excited.

Barrett!

If he grows up, he will definitely become a great help to me, with absolute royal-level strength.

Chapter 110 Douglas Barrett

Charlotte recalled the introduction of Bullet in One Piece.

Douglas Barrett, known as "the Devil's Heir," was a hero hailed as the "successor to the devil."

In the unit where Barrett was a child, all the boy soldiers were called "Bullets," and they were all numbered; he was number 9.

His unit commander's name was Douglas, so he was known as "the 9th bullet of Douglas's unit," which is how Douglas Barrett got his name.

Barrett was a soldier who went to the battlefield at a young age. He was extremely powerful and was hailed as a "hero".

Later, due to the kingdom's betrayal, Barrett went into exile overseas.

He later met Roger and boarded his ship, becoming a valuable asset in that era. At that time, he was comparable to the first mate, Rayleigh, but Barrett did not feel proud. Instead, he intensified his training.

Its overwhelming strength is even approaching that of the Pirate King.

He was extremely powerful; even Roger's crewmates called him a "monster."

But Roger was devastated after he fell ill.

After Gol D. Roger was executed.

Barrett went astray and became paranoid, destroying islands and turning the sea upside down in the New World, until he was arrested by Vice Admiral Garp and Admiral Sengoku with the Navy's Buster Call.

He was eventually taken to Impel Down Level 6.

He later escaped from prison during the riots caused by Blackbeard, and was later known as "the worst prison breaker in history".

After emerging, he teamed up with Festa to attack the "Pirate Expo".

Barrett only believes in his own strength, and from childhood to later years he has only pursued power.

They wear all their emotions on their sleeves.

They believed that weak people could not survive on this vast ocean.

Having suffered repeated betrayals, he could no longer trust anyone, so he believed that as long as he became the strongest, he would not need to rely on anyone.

They only believe in their own strength, thinking they can surpass everyone and obtain everything by themselves.

Furthermore, Barrett grew up in the military from a young age and possesses exceptional combat skills. Even while in the large prison, he never neglected his daily high-intensity basic training.

His strength, speed, skill, and physical prowess are all impeccable.

Possesses Paramecia-type Fusion Fruit

The ability to arrange and combine all objects to create a single entity. The ability to fuse inorganic matter with one's own body. Furthermore, not only can it fuse with the body, but it can also combine inorganic matter and rearrange it to create new weapons. For example, it can create submarines or weapons from scrap metal and rubble.

Having grown up on the battlefield, Barrett used this ability to create an inexhaustible supply of weapons.

Moreover, he is one of the few users whose Devil Fruit abilities have awakened.

It can use the power of the Fusion Fruit over a very large area, engulfing everything around it.

Therefore, he can collect a large number of weapons and rubble, and even in environments where resources are scarce, he can use the power of the Fusion Fruit to create an unlimited number of weapons.

To create weapons of unimaginable size or armor that can cover oneself.

It can be said that Barrett's life was very tragic, which made him even more eager for Charlotte to change his miserable life.

Okay! Charlotte is craving the power that Barrett possesses.

Such powerful strength will definitely be of great help to him in the future.

Charlotte was still confident that she could trick seven or eight-year-old Barrett into joining the crew.

Charlotte also believes she can change his future.

Barrett would have been his greatest asset had he not experienced those pains and betrayals.

Even Charlotte already had a plan in mind.

After all, Barrett was an orphan, and perhaps he could bind himself to him with familial affection.

This inspiration for Charlotte came from Elena telling him that she had taken Panis as her sister.

Charlotte could either take Barrett as her younger brother or make him her first mate. Thinking of this, Charlotte longed for Barrett even more.
