MTL - One Piece: Wudang Baiye, Deputy Captain of the Straw Hats-Chapter 420
"If it's just that, I don't care. It's this guy who surprised me."
Bai Ye pointed at the photo, besides Crocodile, Mihawk and Bucky, the fourth person.
"Douglas Barrett."
When he opened his mouth, his expression was a little dignified: "I used to be the crew member of the One Piece Roger. He is an absolute strong man who is second only to Roger in strength and comparable to Rayleigh, the king of the underworld. He is called—"
"Heir of the devil."
Although Barrett was a figure of the previous era, he had been causing quite a lot of trouble at sea until he was arrested by the navy 23 years ago.
Jinping naturally knew about this person.
Sanji is still young, so it should be clear.
As for why Bai Ye knew, Jin Ping had already gotten used to it.
"oh?"
Hearing this, Sanji was also surprised.
After getting the newspaper, he just glanced at the photos and headlines before calling Bai Ye out without carefully reading the contents.
Seeing Bai Ye's performance now, and contacting what Jinbe said, he finally reacted.
Looking at that photo again, the guy called Barrett is obviously at the top.
"The guy who was as strong as Rayleigh back then, how powerful is he now..."
Looking at Barrett in the photo, who is clearly under 50 years old, Sanji also felt a little pressure.
At this time, Bai Ye finally read the contents of the newspaper and let out a long sigh.
His expectations fell through. Unlike Luffy who single-handedly killed Kaido, this news is not a rumor.
Douglas Barrett was really one of the founders of the Cross Union.
Unlike the original book, the outside world did not misunderstand Bucky as the founder of the Cross Union, but regarded him as the fourth leader of the organization and one of the founders.
It seems that it is because the organizers and funds of the Cross Union were provided by Bucky that it has its current status.
Thinking about it, Hawkeye Mihawk walks alone all year round, besides a group of baboons, there is only the gothic ghost girl, and there is no subordinate at all.
After Crocodile became Shichibukai again, he didn't seem to have any bounty hunter organization anymore. The only one who has been with him for so long is Mr. 1 who escaped from the city of advancement with him.
Not to mention Barrett, what people believe in is the strength of being alone.
In this way, the large number of pirates that Bucky had gathered because of the establishment of Starfire seemed to have become the initial members of the Cross Guild.
No wonder it was named as one of the founders.
As for Barrett, Mihawk and
For the three of Crocodile, their positions were not stated in the newspaper.
After thinking about it, Bai Ye could understand that none of these three people would be willing to be inferior to others, how could it be possible for the other party to sit on his head, most of them were equal.
Thinking about it this way, Bucky is also quite miserable. He was paid by people and money, and in the end he only lost the fourth master.
It is estimated that it will be used by the three of Crocodile. Thinking about Bucky's tragic experience in the original book, now there is another lunatic Barrett.
Bai Ye felt a little sympathetic to him.
But regardless of the status of these four people, what Bai Ye still can't figure out is how these four people got together.
In other words, why did Barrett join this cross union. ωwW.QQXSNEW.net
Judging from the portrayal of Barrett in the theater version, this guy has always wanted to be the strongest after Roger's death, and he is the strongest alone without relying on anyone.
How did such a person get mixed into the Cross Union?
Could it be that the Navy stepped up efforts to encircle and suppress him, so he had to find an organization?
But the recent newspapers have not reported the relevant news, and even Barrett officially appeared in the public eye this time.
Could it be that Crocodile's mouth cannon did it?
Bai Ye thought about it and found it impossible.
Others don't know, but he remembers clearly.
Two years after Roger's death, Barrett, who was wandering the sea again, had a fierce fight with Crocodile, and the outcome was tied.
This is not the Water Margin, the two heroes are not acquainted with each other at every turn.
Crocodile and Barrett are not sworn enemies, nor will they be friends.
Bai Ye pulled his hair in pain, the more he thought about this matter, the more confused he became.
Suddenly, he realized a problem.
Because Barrett's appearance was too surprising, he subconsciously ignored this question.
In the original book, the reason why the Cross Union was established was because the member countries jointly put pressure on the world government at the World Conference and banned the Qiwuhai system.
As a result, Hawkeye and others were wanted by the navy again, which gave Crocodile an opportunity.
However, after Bai Ye helped Xinghuo to establish, the news that the Qiwuhai system has not been abolished has never spread.
The smile in the navy who was dedicated to promoting this matter also joined Xinghuo early.
Bai Ye couldn't help thinking, could there be something unknown happening during this period of time?
Chapter 522 Conversation at the Naval Headquarters
New World, Office of the Admiral of the Naval Headquarters.
With a bang, Sakaski's fist hit the table heavily.
Seeing the news of the establishment of the Cross Union, his face was rather ugly, and his body began to heat up gradually, and the cigar in his mouth was completely burned by the high temperature.
"Ah, it's scary."
Polusalino, who was sitting opposite Sakalski, spoke casually, as if he was used to everything in front of him.
"Don't act like it's none of your business, Polusalino."
Sakaski glanced at the wretched man in front of him, and said angrily:
"If you weren't lazy, how could the mission fail."
"The three Qiwuhai defected, and now they have established a new organization. Don't you think there are not enough crimes in this sea?!"
"They're still bringing in criminals from the previous era."
Hearing this, Polusalino had to put down the nail clippers in his hand and raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
Showing a seemingly wronged, but actually more wretched expression, he said:
"Ah, I'm not lazy."
"Seraphim dispatched to capture Qiwuhai. This plan was made by Wu Laoxing himself. I was only there to supervise the battle, and was not asked to act."
Polusalino went on to say with reason:
"Besides, I only participated in the task of arresting Crocodile. You should also know how much his strength has improved since he came out of the city."
Although Sakaski did not speak, he also knew what Polusalino meant.
Crocodile, the pirate who was once defeated by Luffy who just went to sea, now seems to have been reborn, and his strength has far exceeded the Navy's prediction.
Among all the pirates who have been Qibuhai, they can be ranked in the top three.
"Not to mention, Barrett was there too."
There was a trace of solemnity in Polusalino's eyes.
"The man who was arrested by the Warring States Marshal and Lieutenant General Karp himself under the command of the Demon Slaying Order was terrifying. I was almost killed."
Regarding this statement, Sakalski would not listen to Polusalino's nonsense.
Of course he knew Barrett's strength. He had been imprisoned in the advancing city for more than 20 years. Not only did he not die, but he honed his own strength to the peak state. Naturally, his strength should not be underestimated.
But this guy is exaggerating when it comes to killing Polusalino.
According to the news report, this guy just had a relationship with Ba
Leiter fought a few moves briefly, and ordered the fleet to retreat forcefully.
Not even a big move.
Just fish hard.
As for the arrest tasks of the other two Qibuhai, there are also reasons for each.
Hawkeye Mihawk is the easiest.
Seraphim s. Eagle never hit anyone, the same as s. Crocodile.
It's ridiculous to think about it. Seraphim, developed under the leadership of Vegapunk, claims to be powerful enough to rival the main body, but it turns out that its performance when facing the deity is not the case at all.
If it wasn't for cp0's recovery in time, the s Eagle, which cost a lot of money to build, was almost hacked by Mihawk.
Although the Science Corps gave an explanation, the current Seraph is only the first machine, and has not been debugged yet.
After collecting enough data for this mission, a real humanoid machine will soon be developed.
As for Bucky, it's a bit ridiculous.
When Seraphim and the navy fleet arrived at Kale Bali Island, the Baji base, they found that there was not even a single living person on the island.
The Bucky Pirates seemed to disappear overnight, and this mission also failed directly.
It was also because of this incident that the World Government thoroughly investigated the personnel involved in this mission.
It's a pity that nothing was gained, just some navy and cp agents were hastily executed.
—
After thinking about it, Sakaski finally did not accuse Polusalino.
Because he also knew that the main reason for the failure of this mission was not him.
On the contrary, what makes him nervous is the attitude of the world government.
In the past, all missions at sea were dominated by the navy.
But this time is different, the navy has become a subsidiary, that is, a complete tool man, and the real leader is cp0 who controls Seraph.
Even the admiral of the navy, Huang Yuan, was only given the title of supervising the war, and theoretically speaking, he had no real power at all.
This is why Polusalino had to forcefully order the fleet to retreat before.
Because cp0 at the time was going to let everyone in the navy hold Barrett with their lives, so that Polusalino and Seraphim could quickly take Crocodile.
It was also because Polusalino did not obey the command that the world government almost launched a complete attack on the navy.
Polusalino is now staying at the Navy Headquarters, which also means avoiding trouble.
In fact, Sakaski also has some approval for cp0's approach. If he can sacrifice the navy fleet to get
It is not unacceptable to be a criminal pirate.
But he himself will never just let his subordinates rush, but will be at the forefront.
He is not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and only wants to complete tasks and get rewards.
This is why Sakaski accused the orangutan of being lazy.
Of course, it would be useless to think about it now, and he would not really punish Polusalino.
What should be considered now is the vision of the world government.
This mission has already become obvious that Wulaoxing no longer trusts the Navy.
In other words, after the mass production of the pacifists and the success of the Seraphim project, the navy is no longer the only force for the world government to rule the sea.
This is the most unacceptable thing for Sakalski.
Since joining the navy, he has aimed to eradicate evil.
It's just that until he became an admiral, the navy has been constrained by factions.
Not to mention the stupidity of the Tianlong people above the world government, the navy has been unable to eliminate all evils.
Now that he has finally become the admiral of the navy, the entire navy has also been completely twisted into one rope in his iron-blood purge.
