"Okay, now that you've made your choice, let's start eating! Make sure you finish it, or you won't be able to fully inherit the ability."

Barrett did not force them. After putting away the other devil fruits, he looked at the kids with a smile, a hint of amusement at the corners of his mouth.

vomit--

Upon hearing this, the children each took a bite of the fruit. In an instant, their faces turned green and they felt extremely bitter. However, under Barrett's gaze, they had to bite the bullet and finish all the fruit.

After a while, the young men sat on the ground dejectedly, feeling that something was missing from their life.

"Actually, just one bite of this thing is enough. I was just joking just now. Who knew you guys really believed it." Looking at the looks on Ji Xiao's faces, Barrett felt refreshed and looked at them with a smile.

Hahaha--

Seeing this, Xingyu laughed out loud unscrupulously.

Daddy——

Uncle Barrett—

The kids were all confused, and then burst into strong resentment, glaring at Barrett angrily.

Xingyue and Yanyue joined in, constantly pulling at Barrett, and the other three were also ready to make a move.

Barrett would naturally not sit still and wait for death. With his adult physique, his father's status as an elder, and his powerful strength, he suppressed the two small towns. Ignoring the resentful expressions of the other little ones, he got all six people out of the treasury, even Xingyu who didn't eat the fruit. Then he locked the treasury and went to find his wife with a smug look on his face.

Only a few people were left gritting their teeth, unable to cry.

----

The next day—

As the navy and heaven mobilized their troops on a large scale, the all-pervasive news agencies instantly discovered the anomaly and quickly spread the news of the war throughout the world.

For a time, the whole world was in uproar again, and the eyes of all forces were focused on the Eastern Region.

"Jie hahaha——"

"Barrett, I heard that the Navy has invested a lot of money this time. Commanded by Zhan Guo, assisted by the CP organization, and with three monsters from the Navy and more than a dozen elite major generals, they will lead 50,000 troops to attack the East Region. Can you handle it? Do you need help? The price is negotiable."

Golden Lion was even more afraid of chaos in the world, so he called Barrett personally early in the morning.

"Old Lion, if you need money, just tell me. We don't need that kind of money. We can still afford to give you 100 million or 200 million."

Barrett was not polite and directly mocked Laman.

"You little brat, I'm Golden Lion, how could I be short of money?" Golden Lion got angry and his voice got louder, and the Den Den Mushi changed its image immediately.

Barrett sneered. The Golden Lion had gone to great lengths to conduct scientific research. He had exploited all that could be exploited in his own territory and from time to time he would go on surprise attacks alone in the four seas just for funds. However, until now, he had not achieved any results in scientific research. He could be said to be the poorest of the Five Emperors.

However, since the Golden Lion came to his door on its own initiative, he would not let go of this opportunity. He would be letting himself down if he didn't let the Golden Lion out to cause more trouble.

So, he smiled sinisterly and said, "Old Lion, instead of coming to help me, you might as well go to Punk Hazard. I heard that the second best scientist in the world is there, and there are many good things there that will help your research.

Also, I heard that Egghead is a secret research institute of the World Government, and Vegapunk is inside it."

"Boy, how do you know all this and why do you think I will go?" Golden Lion said in a deep voice, always feeling that his secrets had been seen through.

"I've been to Punk Hazard and met Caesar Courant, so I naturally know. As for why, don't you know that the fact that you have no money to do scientific research has been spread everywhere?" Barrett sneered unceremoniously.

"Uh--"

"Boy, I have something to do. I'm going to hang up now."

Golden Lion was a little embarrassed and quickly hung up the phone.

"You little brat, pretend with me."

Barrett's mouth curled up, he was in a good mood. Even through the phone, he knew the embarrassment and restlessness of the old lion.

brubru——

As soon as I hung up the phone, the Den Den Mushi rang again.

"Moses Moses, I'm Barrett."

Barrett picked up the Den Den Mushi and answered the call. He was in a good mood and became a little bit mean, unconsciously imitating Kizaru's tone.

"I'm Whitebeard. Little Barrett, you don't look worried at all! And you even have the leisure to imitate that monkey." Whitebeard said in a deep voice.

"Hehe, I just tricked the old lion, and I'm in a good mood. I'm sorry, old man." Hearing this, Barrett smiled awkwardly.

"Hulala-"

Whitebeard laughed heartily and said, "It turns out that I have tricked that fellow Shiki. I should be happy indeed."

"Is there anything I can do for you, old man? Why are you calling me so early?" Barrett didn't dwell on it too much and asked.

"Barrett, I heard that the people coming from the navy this time are not simple and have a strong lineup. Do you need me to let Oden and Marco go over?" Hearing the question, Whitebeard became much more serious, with a hint of worry in his tone.

Hearing this, Barrett felt warm in his heart. Compared with the Golden Lion, Whitebeard was much more straightforward. He called Barrett and said that he could mobilize manpower at any time as long as he needed support.

"Old man, no need. I can handle this. If Marco and the others are really bored, why not coat the boat with a film and go to the naval base from the bottom of the sea for a tour and have some fun, and take care of their son at the same time."

Barrett declined the kindness, mainly because he didn't want to owe anyone a favor, and he also joked with Whitebeard.

"Hualala, that's a good idea. I'll go talk to them. Contact me if they need help."

As a result, when Whitebeard heard it, he seemed to take the joke seriously and hung up the phone in a hurry after saying something.

"Damn, it looks like I accidentally fooled another one."

Barrett was also a little confused. He didn't expect that Whitebeard would change so much after the trip to Wano Country, and he was always thinking about the Yin Navy.

In this regard, Barrett could only observe three minutes of silence for the Navy. After all, being constantly remembered by the world's strongest man is not a happy thing.

However, after receiving calls from Whitebeard and Golden Lion in succession, Barrett realized that this war was not as he had discussed with the Five Elders, and guessed that the Five Elders wanted to take this opportunity to destroy him directly.

"Damn, these old bitches."

The more Barrett thought about it, the more he understood. He couldn't help but curse under his breath, then jumped up and flew towards the battlefield.

For three consecutive days, because the World Government wanted to publicize its own background and clear the name of the Celestial Dragons, it asked Morganus to broadcast live to the world. Morganus naturally agreed excitedly, but he still contacted Barrett secretly, hoping to get Barrett's approval. As an old friend, Barrett naturally cooperated.

Morgans's excited publicity and the rapid deployment of live broadcast equipment outside the battlefield filled the entire world with a solemn and crazy atmosphere, making people extremely depressed yet eager to make a move.

Especially in the Eastern Region, nobles of some countries were preparing to flee the Eastern Region with their jewels, but Ares's Blue Dragon Army was no pushover, killing people and causing rivers of blood. The real war had already been stained with blood before it even began.

And that bloody scene constantly strikes everyone's eyes.

At the same time, Jin led dozens of silver-white warships of the Heavenly Court and tens of thousands of soldiers lined up and docked at the entrance of the Eastern Region, on an uninhabited island in front of Rock Island.

Rock Island is an uninhabited island that Barrett accidentally discovered 100 nautical miles before Helios when he was developing the Eastern Region.

Although Rock Island is not big, with an area of ​​only more than 200 square kilometers, it has a special geographical location and has ironwood, a main material for shipbuilding.

Therefore, Barrett decided to build Kamon Island into a shipbuilding base, and asked the Golden Lion for help to move several small uninhabited islands and connect them with Rock Island to form the first line of defense of Helios.

After several years of development, Rock Island has become a military fortress. The shipbuilding industry on the island is extremely developed, and the silver-white warships of the Heavenly Court are manufactured here.

The silver-white warship not only has a solid structure, but also has extraordinary artillery.

When talking about the shipbuilding industry, we have to mention Tom. Since the Five Emperors were confirmed, Fishman Island has someone to rely on. Tom is naturally no longer threatened by the World Government and he called for help.

Jhin went on a solo trip and brought Tom, Iceberg, and most of the company's ship workers directly to the East Region.

Tom directly became the head of the Rock Island Shipyard, and secretly used some weapons in the Pluto drawings on the silver-white battleship. In addition, with the help of Noah's notes found by Barrett and others on the Sky Island a few years ago and the assistance of some scientific researchers, the overall performance of the silver-white battleship was even stronger than that of the navy's warships.

Jhin was wearing scarlet armor, standing majestically on the largest warship in the center of the fleet, looking ahead with sharp eyes, and a domineering red cloak fluttering in the wind.

Johnson and others behind him were all wearing armor and had serious expressions. They stared at the sea level vigilantly, and a murderous atmosphere arose spontaneously.

"If I had known he was so handsome, I should have gone down there myself." Above the Eastern Region, Barrett looked at Jhin commanding thousands of troops with such domineering look, and his heart suddenly ached and he felt a sense of regret.

"Pass the order down, prepare for the third round of artillery fire."

Suddenly, a number of ships appeared on the sea surface. Jin's expression straightened and he immediately gave orders.

"Attention, sergeants. Prepare for three-stage firing."

"Attention, sergeants..."

The messenger ran quickly, passing the message from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred. Soon, the entire Heavenly Army received Jin's order. The commanders of each ship took out their telescopes and looked at the soldier standing on the top of the main ship, holding the two-color flag.

"It finally begins."

Barrett's expression straightened, and he silently released his Observation Haki and attacked the battlefield.

The other people who were paying attention also stopped what they were doing the moment the navy appeared, and fixed their eyes on the screen or the battlefield. The solemn atmosphere made them feel infinitely depressed.
