All kidding aside, Rocks really asked me to be the captain!

late at night!

The bright moonlight fell on the floating island like a veil, illuminating every corner. It was like a bright lamp, covering the entire island in a silver glow. The island seemed to be endowed with life, trembling slightly with the shining of the moonlight.

Under the moonlight, everything on the island became clearly visible, the lush vegetation looked particularly green under the moonlight, and the leaves shone with a soft glow.

The flowers bloomed more brightly, with a faint silver glow on the petals. The streams on the island gurgled, and the water surface sparkled, like a silver ribbon running through the entire island.

The moonlight also shone into the interior of the island, and through the gaps between the trees, it cast mottled light and shadows on the ground, making the figures of the busy scientist father and daughter particularly clear.

At this time, Barrett, who had all the hidden injuries and pain in his body wiped away, looked at the clouds flying backwards in the sky with a confused look.

He became famous at a young age. He was only 15 years old and had been at sea for less than a week when the Navy Headquarters offered a bounty of million berries for him. He tasted the taste of failure for the first time.

He didn't even see clearly how the man made his move.

Already caught up in a series of combo skills.

He had no ability to resist in front of that man!

Now even the devil fruit ability in his body has been taken away by the opponent!

Lose everything you have again.

A crack also appeared in Barrett's strong heart.

He has never been defeated since he was eight years old.

I have always believed that my strength is at the top level in this ocean!

But this time it was a complete failure!

pat~

Luohou, who had walked over to the side without knowing when, took out a row of gold foil cigars from his pocket, took out one skillfully, put it in his mouth, and then used the ability of the Flame-Flame Fruit to gently release it, and the flame instantly rose. He brought the flame close to the cigarette butt and took a light puff, and wisps of white smoke immediately emerged from the cigarette butt and floated towards Barrett's nose.

"Why...why don't you kill me?"

The young Barrett looked at the person next to him, who was not that much older than him, with some bewilderment.

But the man whose strength was enough to crush him into pieces asked in a confused tone.

"Why not kill you?"

"Because... I want to establish a power that can overthrow the World Government and regain control of the world~"

Luo Hou smiled and casually threw a gold foil cigar of the same model as his own to Barrett.

As for the psychological changes of this young man, it is still easy for Luo Hou to figure it out~

Barrett thought about Luohou's words with some disbelief.

As we all know, in this world, everyone who goes to sea has various dreams without exception.

Some people may be pursuing wealth that they can't spend in their lifetime.

Some people may just want the ultimate power to dominate others.

Or some people will be like him, pursuing the strongest power along the way~

But Barrett had never heard from any of them.

I want to completely overthrow this behemoth in this world that no one can shake!

So for a moment, these words, which can make people's hearts vibrate, lingered in the ears.

Barrett was also a little stunned.

"But....your desire to overthrow them shouldn't have much to do with me, right?"

After being immersed in it for a long time, Barrett turned the question back and looked at Luohou's back with a firm gaze.

At this moment, he has already obtained some answers that he guessed in his heart.

But he still wanted to get to the bottom of everything and get everything clear.

After all, he is only a young man of fifteen or sixteen years old.

But having suffered all kinds of betrayal since childhood, his inner maturity has already surpassed many flowers in the garden.

"Of course this has something to do with you~"

"If you want to achieve something, you naturally need..."

"Some powerful brothers~"

Luo Hou's words fell in a bland voice.

Barrett's entire body shook almost instantly!

In just a few seconds, I experienced countless emotional changes, big and small.

Although he had sworn a solemn oath that he would never trust his partner again.

But how could it be that he had been wandering on the sea for a while and felt deeply lonely without any impact?

When someone really sincerely invites him to join.

Instead of calling him One-Ear because his right ear was broken.

Deep in Barrett's strong heart, he still couldn't help but feel a desire.

Especially a terrifying guy who was powerful enough to crush it like a bug, but was so patient in explaining the reasons to a weakling like him.

So for a moment, even if Barrett wanted to directly reject Luo Hou's invitation, he could only open his mouth but couldn't say a word of rejection.

It seems that the emotional scene has been almost set.

Luo Hou patted Barrett's young but extremely broad shoulders very appropriately and said.

"Carry my name and venture into this vast ocean!"

Barrett's body trembled slightly, but his eyes became more determined.

"Brother Luo! From today on, my life, Douglas Barrett, is in your hands!"

"If Luo Ge tells me to go east, I will never go west! If I tell you to go to the Grand Line, I will never go to the Calm Belt!"

"But Luo Ge...can you return the Fusion Fruit to me? This thing is very precious. One might be sold for hundreds of millions of Baileys~"

After Barrett made some bold statements.

His eyes couldn't help but stare at the parahuman devil fruit on the ground that he had eaten.

Even though that thing tasted bad, it at least brought him a lot of strength.

"Stop talking nonsense! Eating everything will only harm you!"

"Wait a few days to find that guy Kaido, and then let Orleans make you an artificial fruit~"

Luohu directly took away the fusion fruit on the ground, without giving Barrett any chance at all.

This kind of thing may indeed be a very good choice for ordinary people to eat.

But if Barrett, who is already gifted, eats the fusion fruit, it would be a great waste of his terrifying physical talent.

A truly powerful person needs an animal-type mythical beast devil fruit!

Only then can you unleash your ultimate power!

"Kaido? The pirate with a bounty of 30 billion berries?"

"I didn't expect that Luo Ge also knew him? To be honest, I was planning to challenge him this time when I went out to sea~"

Barrett withdrew his gaze reluctantly, and then began to inquire about Kaido's information.

"Know him? I guess so~"

"We haven't seen each other for a few years. I heard from the newspaper that this guy has been doing very well recently~"

"And that guy, like you, also called me Brother Luo~"
