Chapter 159 The frustrated Barrett
In fact, Sengoku was not very sure about capturing Barrett and sending him to Impel Down.
Yes, as an admiral of the Navy Headquarters, he is a strong man at the top of the pyramid of strength in the sea.
There is no certainty in Buddha's Warring States period.
This operation to capture Barrett was largely to cope with the demands of the World Government.
Of course, this also includes the Navy’s own philosophy of justice and professionalism.
After the Shampoo Islands incident, the World Government and the Celestial Dragon race wanted the Warring States Period to arrest the White Ghost immediately.
After some dealings with Marshal Kong, the Warring States Period changed the target person to Douglas Barrett, the equally powerful descendant of the devil.
The Navy and the World Government spent a lot of manpower, material and energy, and even relied on some of the intelligence and information capabilities from the World Economic News Agency, to finally find the trace of the elusive Barrett.
There's no way around it. Barrett has a submarine that can dive into the deep sea. Coupled with his innate super-armed domineering power, he can almost ignore most dangerous situations on the sea, and his actions are quite impressive. A sense of haunting.
However, Sengoku was not unsure of defeating Barrett, he was not confident of "catching" Barrett.
As a Devil Fruit user, if Barrett loses in battle, he can take the opportunity to merge with his submarine and sneak into the sea water to escape.
However, the Great Buddha Fruit of the Warring States Period does not have this function.
This big Buddha...
It’s airtight, but it’s also not waterproof!
If Barrett escaped by submersing, Sengoku could only stare and do nothing.
As for sending the rest of the navy into the sea to hunt down Barrett...
That was completely a parting gift to Barrett. I really thought the name of the Devil's Descendant was just blown away!
Sengoku believes that if the World Government and the Navy Headquarters really want to capture Barrett, then one of the other two must be dispatched.
That is, choose one of Black-Wrist Zefa and Iron Fist Garp!
Although Barrett is strong, his overall strength at this stage is not as good as that of the admiral, and Sengoku is sure to suppress him in battle;
And once Barrett escapes by diving into the sea, Zefa or Garp, the two incompetent people who have never eaten the fruit, can play a role!
"If I add Garp or Zefa, this configuration..." Sengoku thought silently, "Should we execute the navy's demon-slaying order on Douglas Barrett?"
As for the white ghost who had just fought with Barrett on the other side, this gave Warring States an even greater headache.
White Ghost behaves decently.
But what he had done before had violated the bottom line of the world government. Considering the troublesomeness of the ghost fruit, he would definitely be sent to the Propulsion Castle for the rest of his life.
But the trouble is with that ghost fruit!
Facing the white ghost, Warring States only felt that he had met a weakened version of the Golden Lion Shiji.
He may not be strong, but he can fly!
He may not be able to beat you, but he can fly!
Let me emphasize again, he can fly!
Currently, within the Navy Headquarters, there are only a few high-ranking Navy officials who have mastered the ability to fly - here refers to the real ability to fly, rather than relying on techniques such as moon steps to stay in the air.
Well, down to the personal level.
Only the Navy’s monster vice-admiral, Porusalino, the wielder of the Shining Fruit ability!
But Porusalino was recuperating at the Navy Headquarters at this time, and it was estimated that he would not recover in a year and a half.
Seng Guo was also well aware of how naughty this junior was.
Besides, Porusalino was originally defeated and seriously injured by the White Ghost!
Let Porusalino continue to be responsible for hunting down the white ghost, I'm afraid there will be no return.
That junior has been hurt by the World Government before, and if there is another strongman locking up men this time, he will probably quit!
When it comes to white ghosts, there are no corresponding restrictions in the navy.
And the most bizarre thing is that some time ago, when the Navy Headquarters and the World Government were searching for traces of Barrett all over the world, they were also distracted by trying to find the location information of the White Ghost.
The result...
Can't find it at all!
It's as if the White Ghost is really just a random ghost, wandering over the Grand Route.
Back to business.
At this time, if Barrett stops fighting the White Ghost, it will be really difficult to meet these two top rookie pirates at once!
Just when Sengoku was expecting Barrett to continue fighting with the White Ghost.
Barrett looked at Adrian standing in the distance on top of the evil heart maze, and suddenly became a little discouraged.
If you can't even take down the new pirate White Ghost, how can you catch up with Captain Roger?
Barrett recalled the first time he met the Roger Pirates. As a young and energetic man, he challenged the legendary pirate Roger, but was defeated with a single blow like a three-year-old child.
Since that time, Barrett joined the Roger Pirates. He continued to train himself and surpassed each of his predecessors on the pirate ship. He could clearly feel that he was getting stronger day by day.
But Barrett also discovered that the gap between him and Roger, instead of narrowing, actually widened step by step.
During his days on the Roger Pirates, Barrett constantly challenged Roger, but failed time and time again.
Barrett even publicly swore to the entire crew of the Roger Pirates: "I will one day defeat Gol D. Roger and become the strongest in the world!"
However, when it was learned that Roger was seriously ill and would die soon, the original vow suddenly turned into anxiety and confusion.
After quitting the Roger Pirates, Barrett began to wander aimlessly on the sea, hoping to find a new goal in life.
After the news of Roger's execution spread, Barrett's inner anxiety and confusion, which had been wandering all day, turned into endless rage and desire for destruction, and he began to completely rampage on the sea, constantly venting the emptiness in his heart.
It wasn't until he met the White Ghost today that Barrett realized a problem: It turns out that the latest pirates are already so powerful and difficult to deal with.
Before his death, Roger had successfully climbed the Grand Line and became the Pirate King. Now, Barrett couldn't think of any place where he could [beat] Roger!
If I am overtaken by a new pirate, then who am I?
Seeing that Barrett had remained silent, neither talking nor fighting, Adrian couldn't help but become a little confused.
In his impression, this guy, whose appearance, especially his hairstyle, looked like the legendary Super Saiyan, could not be defeated so easily.
Could it be that because of the timing, although Barrett's strength has not declined at this time, he is already a salty fish who has lost his ideals?
Do you want me to inject ghosts into him?
Pooh!
Inject soul?
