One Piece: Starting with the enslavement of Wano Country!

Page 44

"Ok sir."

Ahal and his crew escorted these pirates to mine.

Making the most of everything, isn't that right?

“Mr. Lei Luo…” Jin hesitated, wanting to speak but then stopped.

Lei Luo smiled calmly and said, "Just say what you want to say."

After a moment's hesitation, Jin tentatively asked, "So, my injuries have healed, and I can fight the pirates next?"

Lei Luo smiled and nodded: "Okay, then I'll leave the rest to you."

This thing is a real blood cow; it suffered a near-fatal wound, and it's only been a short time since then, yet it's recovered so well.

In the waters below Wano Country, a pirate ship is anchored, gazing at the towering waterfall.

One of the pirates ran up to a burly man in a black military uniform and asked tremblingly:

"Sir, are we really going to climb this waterfall? I see so many wrecked boats floating..."

Before he could finish speaking, the burly man with the youthful face pressed down on the pirate's head with one hand, crushing it as easily as squeezing a watermelon.

The red and white stains stained the white gloves, and a cruel smile appeared on the burly man's face as he sneered:

"I'll say it again, you just need to do as I say."

Fly rubbing hands: Um... fellow Yanzu fans, could you send me some small gifts?

Chapter 67 A Tragic Life

The pirates on the ship witnessed this scene and swallowed hard.

This person was only fourteen years old, yet he single-handedly destroyed a country with extreme cruelty.

Climbing this waterfall is a life-or-death struggle.

Anyone who dares to disobey will face certain death!

It seemed there was no need for a choice anymore. The helmsman gritted his teeth and steered the pirate ship toward the waterfall.

At the entrance to the White Dance Coast, Jin wiped the "Enma" in his hand, preparing to face today's challenge.

Not far behind, Lei Luo, wearing sunglasses, was comfortably reclining in an old-fashioned chair, rocking back and forth. Seeing Jin's appearance, he couldn't help but chuckle.

This child has suffered.

He has been staying in Wano Country ever since he fought Kin'emon and Ashura Doji during the invasion two years ago.

Kaido went on an expedition without him, and Rairou went to the West Blue without him either.

After guarding the house for so long, we finally got an intruder. Upon closer inspection, it was the Golden Lion!

"It's coming!"

A red light flickered in Lei Luo's eyes, and a faint smile played on his lips as he looked toward the waterfall.

The same is true of Ash.

From the waterfall, a pirate ship leaped out, with a tall figure standing at its bow.

Immediately, the tall figure stomped down and leaped high into the air, sending the pirate ship crashing to the ground.

Lei Luo sat up, squinting as he scrutinized the newcomer.

He wore a black military uniform, had long yellow hair, and was tall and robust, with a youthful yet arrogant face.

Douglas Barrett!

Barrett didn't care about the lives of the pirates. After glancing at Leylo and King, he realized they weren't his targets and shouted, "Where is Kaido? Come out here!"

The next second, a Conqueror's Haki that resembled purgatory erupted from Barrett's body.

The pirates who had miraculously survived and climbed up the waterfall were kicked to the ground by Barrett. Before they could even struggle to get up, they all foamed at the mouth, rolled their eyes back, lost consciousness, and collapsed to the ground.

It was just that the arrogant one had chosen the wrong place. Without even Rayleigh's intervention, a terrifying Conqueror's Haki burst forth from Jin's body, and he crashed into it fiercely.

The two streams of Conqueror's Haki transformed into two semi-transparent curtains in the sky, colliding and pressing against each other, neither giving way.

In the end, neither side could prevail over the other; the sky shattered, turning into starlight that dissipated into the air.

Barrett stared at Jhin, his fighting spirit surging, a smug smirk playing on his lips: "Not bad."

With a flap of its wings, King slowly flew to a spot not far in front of Barrett and said coldly, "You're not bad either, but Wano Country is not a place for you to run wild!"

As he spoke, Jin suddenly drew his sword, the flames behind him vanished in an instant, and he pounced on Barrett like a ghost.

"Well done!"

Barrett roared excitedly, his right fist covered in dark Armament Haki, and he slammed his feet into the ground, transforming into a cannonball that hurtled towards King.

A sword and a fist collided with a deafening roar, the explosive force rippling outwards in a ring shape, blowing up Lei Luo's handsome bangs.

Jhin and Barrett each exerted their strength again, but neither could do anything to the other. Their brows furrowed and then relaxed simultaneously.

The opponent's strength exceeded his expectations.

The fighting spirit of the two was completely ignited, and they retreated rapidly to create distance between them.

Barrett channeled all his power, his fists covered in formidable Armament Haki, and he charged toward King once more with a sinister grin.

Jin held his sword horizontally in front of him, the inky black Armament Haki creeping up the blade, "Enma" radiating a bewitching purple light, defiantly charging forward.

Two figures, their movements blurred into afterimages, clashed fiercely, neither willing to yield to the other.

Each collision was accompanied by a sonic boom that resembled an explosion, and a series of shockwaves.

Lei Luo rested his chin on his hand, watching the two fight with great interest.

Although it was his first time meeting Barrett, he was no stranger to him.

This guy is a formidable figure, almost as powerful as Kaido.

Barrett was born in a country on the Grand Line where war never ends. She was abandoned by her mother at a young age and became an orphan.

He was later adopted by the enemy army and became a child soldier at the age of eight. His main task was to step on landmines and lead the charge on the battlefield.

They're basically cannon fodder.

But Barrett managed to survive time and time again from the brink of death thanks to his powerful physique.

On the battlefield, the person who makes the greatest contribution can receive a "medal," which is what Barrett longs for, because he has heard that receiving a "medal" can allow him to leave the battlefield and gain freedom.

Barrett fought desperately for this cause, but just as he was about to win the medal, he was betrayed by his comrades. Not only was the medal taken away, but he was also seriously injured and on the verge of death.

Since then, Barrett has trusted no one and focused solely on his own victories.

During a war, due to hunger and exhaustion, Barrett ate the Fusion Fruit.

Later, Barrett became a formidable fighter on the battlefield, and by the age of 14, he was already a national hero.

However, this aroused the jealousy of his superior, the unit commander, who betrayed Barrett during a battle and wanted to kill him.

Enraged, Barrett destroyed an entire army and nation, and was subsequently hunted by the World Government and Navy, forcing him to go to sea.

At fifteen, which is next year, Barrett will meet the Roger Pirates.

He first fought Rayleigh to a draw, then was defeated by Roger and joined Roger's Pirates as a challenger.

Lei Luo, however, thought it was fake news.

Roger completely overwhelmed Barrett; the gap between Roger and Rayleigh wasn't that terrifying.

Rayleigh was probably just teasing the kids. Roger, that old scoundrel, just like when he fought Oden, immediately used "Divine Evasion."

After Roger was executed, Barrett went on a rampage across the sea, causing chaos and ultimately prompting the Navy to issue a Buster Call.

Legendary duo kings Sengoku and Garp joined forces to send the 22-year-old Barrett to Impel Down.

What a glorious yet tragic life.

Lei Luo rubbed his chin, somewhat puzzled, wondering why Barrett had come to Wano Country.

What Lei Luo didn't know was that Barrett really wanted to find the Roger Pirates.

He no longer trusts his so-called partners; he only believes in his own strength, and he wants to become the strongest in the world.

Roger is currently the person with the highest bounty, and Barrett wants to challenge him.

Unfortunately, Roger only had a wrecked ship and was traveling all over the world, so Barrett couldn't find him at all.

The second target was Whitebeard, but again, they didn't find him.

Although the Whitebeard Pirates do have their own territory, they usually stay on the "Moby Dick".

Just then, a newspaper announcing the Beasts Pirates' victory over Golden Lion floated into his view.

The Beasts Pirates have a fixed territory.

Barrett then hijacked a pirate crew and came to Wano Country to challenge Kaido.

S: Don't worry, everyone, I checked it out. Barrett is 45 years old. 31 years ago, he was 14 years old, which was exactly when he destroyed a country and went to sea. That's right.

Chapter 68 A 50/50 split?

Jhin and Barrett are still fighting.

One is the Lunaria clan, revered as "gods," and the other is a demon descendant who stepped on landmines on the battlefield at the age of eight.

King is now sixteen years old, and Barrett is now fourteen years old. They have both awakened Conqueror's Haki and are both young and impetuous.

Their attacks intertwined like a storm, distorting the surrounding air.

The "Enma" of Jin, glowing with a bewitching purple light, collided with Barrett's powerful Armament Haki, unleashing a deafening sound.

Suddenly, Jin flashed behind Barrett, his "Enma" blade burning with brilliant flames, and stabbed it fiercely into Barrett's back.

Barrett reacted extremely quickly, turning around abruptly and crossing his arms to block the attack. The immense impact caused him to stumble back slightly.

Barrett didn't seem to care; instead, he grinned, his eyes filled with intense fighting spirit.

"Kid, you're pretty strong."

Jin coldly retorted, "You look younger than me."

"Well, that kind of thing doesn't matter anymore." Barrett clapped his fists together and charged towards Jhin again.

Jin's eyes sharpened, and wielding "Yama," he charged forward...

The two fought back and forth, and the battle became more and more intense.

Lei Luo yawned. He didn't know how long the two of them had been fighting, but they were both so tired from watching.

Is my brother Jin really going to live up to the title of "50/50"?

The Lunaria race's racial advantage—the flames on their backs never going out—already puts them in an invincible position from the start.

But defeating Barrett will be quite difficult.

This is a monster who went to the battlefield to clear landmines at the age of eight and has experienced countless wars. His physique is terrifying, coupled with his powerful Armament Haki.

Under normal circumstances, unless you encounter a few truly exceptional individuals, it's really impossible for an average person to defeat Barrett.

After another violent collision, the two separated.

Barrett didn't charge at Jhin again, but instead bent down and touched the ground with his palm.

Jin looked on in confusion, wondering what was going on now.

Lei Luo became interested and sat up straight.

Is the Fusion Fruit about to activate?

The ground began to tremble violently, and the soil beneath Barrett's feet transformed into a strange purple fluid that converged around him.

Under Barrett's manipulation, the purple fluid was pieced together, embedded, and merged into one with it. In the blink of an eye, a sandstone formation hundreds of meters high stood before them.

"Look, this is my power, the power of the Paramecia-type Fusion Fruit!" The giant spread his arms wide, showing off triumphantly.

But when Barrett looked at Jhin, he could only see two words in his disdainful eyes.

Actually, Lei Luo's eyes were similar.

Lei Luo knew that Barrett was still young and his Devil Fruit development was still average, far from being as terrifying as in the movie where, after the Devil Fruit awakened, it could fuse into an entire island.
