Pirate Death Arrives.

Time always brings many changes.

Especially for a complex and contradictory race like humans.

Even Barrett is no exception!

After escaping from the deserted island, he frantically collected intelligence, whether it was about the Death God Roddy or the core cadres of the Death God Pirates.

All the information related to the Death Pirates was absorbed by Barrett.

The more he understood this, the greater the shock it brought to him.

If he had to say it, he could only describe it in five words: very complicated!

Of course, besides that.

He also paid attention to other forces on the sea, such as the Four Emperors, the Navy, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

have to say.

During the twenty years he was imprisoned, the situation on the sea indeed changed a lot.

The intensity of the event is unprecedented.

It seems to have been since Roger was executed.

Genius pirates and new pirate groups continue to emerge on the sea, and their numbers are increasing.

Especially in recent years, it has reached a peak.

Among them, the most famous is undoubtedly the so-called "supernova".

And it also includes many people from the Death Pirates.

but.

If you want to find someone who can turn the world upside down with his own strength...

It's almost impossible.

Behind those supernovas, there is an entire pirate group supporting them!

Even if the field of vision is expanded a little bit, radiating to the entire ocean.

There is only one person who has that tendency.

And that person was none other than Hawkeye Djordje Mihawk, who had fought with Roddy during the Battle of Marineford!

Hawkeye is definitely the most typical representative of lone wolf!

However, when he was removed from his position as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and when he was targeted by the navy and the world government...

He founded the "Cross Guild" together with Crocodile.

Obviously, even the world's greatest swordsman is still a little afraid of the powerful navy and the world government!

Pirate world.

If we don’t stick together, we will either drift on the sea or be destroyed by other people and forces. It’s that simple!

This has been going on for nearly a month.

Barrett collected a lot of information and thought a lot.

His extreme idea finally began to waver a little.

Of course, it will take some time, or stronger stimulation, for him to truly make up his mind to make changes.

However, Barrett will definitely remember Rody and the Death Pirates in his heart.

In the past, Barrett's target had always been only Roger.

After Roger was executed, he had no choice but to shift his target. The Four Emperors and the Navy were undoubtedly the best alternatives.

And now, Luo Di, the guy who fought him head-on and was not at all inferior, the guy who mastered the devil fruit of the 'world's strongest man' Whitebeard, to be honest, successfully piqued his interest!

Of course, Roger will always be special in Barrett's heart.

Aside from the fact that the other party was the first person to defeat him, it was also because he had been with the other party for three or four years!

During this period, a certain amount of affection will develop.

And that is indeed the case.

After three or four years of getting along, he finally developed some ties to the Roger Pirates.

During the battle, when he saw the crew members of Roger's pirate group being injured, he would often have the subconscious thought that "I must protect my companions."

However, his experiences in his early years made him almost instinctively deny that idea.

He didn't want to experience the feeling of being betrayed again.

Therefore, he simply attributed all the hesitation, despondency, and indecisiveness that appeared during the battle due to the fear of hurting his companions to his own weakness!

Maybe it was to escape.

Or maybe it's to regain my strong self.

Not long after, Barrett left Roger's pirate group and went out to sea again as a rookie pirate!

From this experience, we can see that he is not as extreme as imagined.

His heart wasn't completely sealed.

However, if you want to completely change his ideas, you need a suitable opportunity.

But Luo Di had already seen through this.

That's why he set his sights on Barrett.

Aokiji, Hawkeye and Barrett, these three are the targets chosen by Luo Di.

If you can absorb one, then that’s one.

If all three can be absorbed, that would be great.

This is definitely a huge improvement for the Death Pirates, allowing them to take their status on the sea to a higher level and solidify their position as the Emperor-class pirate group!

However, if none of them are absorbed...

There is nothing we can do about that.

This kind of thing is very particular, after all, it is a matter of mutual consent.

It would be useless to tie them to the Death Pirates if they were unwilling.

Luo Di was still quite open-minded.

If those three top experts don't join, then he can only rely on internal training.

However, it is extremely difficult to combine the awakening of the devil fruit and the three colors of domineering in the same person.

Moreover, it takes a lot of time...

It can be said that it is very troublesome!

all in all.

Internal promotion is indeed a time-consuming and laborious task, and in the end, it may even turn into nothing.

Whether a person's talent is high or low is hidden.

It is impossible to see it with the naked eye.

Perhaps his future cultivation will be smooth sailing.

In a very short period of time, he mastered the Observation Haki, skillfully used the Armament Haki, and was even able to perfectly control the Conqueror Haki.

However, whether one can go one step further and achieve the so-called foresight of the future, entanglement of armed color and entanglement of domineering color, requires an opportunity.

However, this opportunity is not so easy to seize.

Often it's a fine line between life and death!

No matter how talented a person is, he still needs to fight with real weapons.

It is far from enough to work alone behind closed doors, even with the guidance of a famous teacher.

This last step is also the most difficult one to take, and it has blocked countless people.

to be frank.

Barrett is now also stuck.

If you go one step further, you can become a top-level powerhouse who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the emperor-level powerhouses.

After all, his devil fruit has already crossed the huge threshold of awakening.

What is lacking is the level of three-color domineering!

And want to make a breakthrough in the level of domineering.

That would require fighting with a being more powerful than him.

If we force him into a desperate situation and bring about an explosion, perhaps we can achieve a breakthrough and surpass his limit.

just.

To be honest, there are really few people in the pirate world who are stronger than Barrett.

On the navy side, there are only Sengoku, Garp, Aokiji, Kizaru and Akainu.
