"My name is not Hello, my name is Delia."

The girl was crying loudly, her nose running. She raised her little head slightly and wiped her nose hard on her Barrett's pants.

"I understand. Could you please let go of my hand and stop wiping your nose on my pants?" Barrett frowned, looking dissatisfied.

"Humph--"

Delia glared at Barrett unhappily, wiped her nose vigorously again before letting go of her hand.

"You little brat."

Feeling the stickiness on his pants, Barrett's face turned black and he punched Delia on the head.

"Aw, you idiot, you'll get beaten up."

Delia held her head in her hands and glared at Barrett fiercely.

"Boss, what are you doing?"

Just then, Jhin's voice came from a distance.

"nothing."

Barrett glared at Delia unhappily, waved his hand, and then said to Jhin, "Jhin, go and see if there are any uninhabited islands around. We will drive the ship there, and then wait here for Whitebeard and the others to arrive."

"I know where there are uninhabited islands."

As soon as Barrett finished speaking, Delia raised her head and interrupted him, with a smug expression on her face.

"you know?"

Barrett looked at Delia in confusion.

"About ten nautical miles east of Somon Island, there is an uninhabited island." Delia raised her head like a proud peacock.

"Are you sure?" Barrett confirmed.

"Everyone in our village knows about that island, but there are many ferocious beasts on it and we dare not go up." Delia glared at Barrett with dissatisfaction.

Barrett didn't hesitate and said to Jhin, "Jhin, go and take a look. If it really is there, we will drive the boat there."

"Okay, boss."

Jhin leaped into the air, a pair of wings quickly appeared behind him, and with a flap of his wings, he disappeared into the sky in an instant.

Delia looked in the direction where Jhin disappeared, her mouth wide open, her eyes flashing with shock and envy.

Looking at Delia's expression, Barrett smiled, leaped up, and gently jumped onto the bow of the boat.

"Hey, can you take me up too?" Delia shouted hurriedly when she saw this.

"There are stairs over there."

Barrett replied calmly and walked into the cabin carrying things from the deck.

"Cheapskate."

Delia made a face at the boat and climbed up the stairs to the bow.

A few minutes later, Jhin flew back and told Barrett that there was indeed an uninhabited island there, just as Delia said.

Barrett immediately made a decision to go directly to the uninhabited island and stay there for one night. This decision almost frightened Delia to death, and she cried and shouted to stop him.

-

At night, uninhabited island.

Barrett, Jhin, and Delia were sitting around a bonfire.

"How come you guys are so good at eating?"

Delia was shocked when she saw the two people eating meat non-stop. Their appetite was beyond her expectation.

Barrett glanced at him indifferently, dropped the bone stick, and started practicing with his eyes closed.

"If you want to become a strong person, you must first be able to eat. Only if you can eat can you be able to fight."

Jhin dropped the bone stick and explained with a smile while grilling another piece of meat.

Then he began to use the life return and the iron block to sharpen his fists, and the bones made a "crunching, crunching" sound.

"Don't you feel any pain?"

Delia was horrified when she heard this and stared at Jhin blankly. In her opinion, no one could endure the pain of bone wear and tear.

"It hurts." Jhin nodded.

Then, he smiled and said, "But it's okay to get used to the pain. And if you want to become a strong person, you need more than just this little bit of pain. You also need to be prepared for death."

"Awareness of death?" Delia murmured to herself, turned her head and looked at Barrett who was practicing with his eyes closed, and made a decision in her heart.

-

The next day, evening.

Barrett and Jinn defeated a large number of beasts and prepared to return to Somon Island to wait for the arrival of Whitebeard.

Unexpectedly, Delia held Barrett tightly and refused to let go, insisting on going back with Barrett and the others.

Barrett was causing a huge embarrassment, but Delia wouldn't listen no matter what and just hung on him.

This made Jhin, who was standing by, almost laugh to death. He was so unkind as to carry the dead beast away first, under the pretext of not delaying Barrett from enjoying his rare happiness.

"Delia, we are going there to fight a great battle, not to play. Once a fight breaks out, Somon Island might be sunk directly, so you should wait for us on the ship."

Barrett looked innocent as he looked at Delia hanging on his thigh and looked at her seriously.

Delia was silent for a moment, then she raised her head and looked at Barrett with tears on her face, and said pitifully, "Then you must promise not to abandon me and come back safely."

"Don't worry! The ship is still here! We won't abandon you, and we won't die that easily." Barrett rubbed her head and smiled.

"Woo-"

Delia sobbed and reluctantly let go of his hand.

"I go first."

Seeing Delia let go of his hand, Barrett leaped up and fled away from the bow, using his "So Close, So Far" skill to the extreme and disappearing quickly in the air.

"You must come back safely!"

Delia looked worriedly in the direction of Somon Island and prayed silently in her heart.

-

Somon Island, shore.

Hoho——

Jhin crossed his arms across his chest, looking at the newly arrived Barrett with interest, and laughed like a pig.

"What are you laughing at!" Barrett roared in anger, deeply regretting that he had taught this guy all those modern knowledge. As a result, Jhin now knows too much and not only knows how to confront people, but also how to humiliate them.

"If the great cause is not accomplished, how can one have a home?"

Jhin raised his eyebrows, then put his hands behind his back and looked straight ahead, looking like a domineering overlord.

"..."

Barrett was speechless and gnashing with hatred. If he remembered correctly, this action was taken not long after they came out of Alabasta. He single-handedly wiped out a pirate group and said this while standing on the bow of the ship pretending to be cool.

I didn't expect that Jhin actually remembered it and imitated it directly. It would be fine if Delia was really a beauty, but the key is that she is just a little kid.

Ha ha ha ha--

Seeing Barrett being humiliated, Jhin laughed unscrupulously.

Barrett didn't want to talk. He sat on the ground, staring blankly into the distance. Although he didn't object to getting married and having children in this world, he wouldn't be so outrageous as to find some little loli.

"Once things here are over, send her away as soon as possible!"

However, when he thought of Delia's character, Barrett couldn't help but frowned. Barrett had never thought of letting someone as weak as Delia get on board. After all, the aftermath of their fight alone would be enough to turn Delia into ashes.

"Boss, you are angry."

Seeing that Barrett didn't speak for a long time, Jhin thought that he had gone too far and caused Barrett's dissatisfaction.

"No, I was just wondering how strong Whitebeard is."

Barrett shook his head and his expression turned serious.

"I look forward to it too."

Hearing this, a flame flashed in Jin's eyes, and he looked piercing and sharp.

Barrett patted Jin, slowly stood up, and explained with a smile, "Jin, don't think too much, just prepare and stay alert. Whitebeard is a strong man who can fight Captain Roger one-on-one, and his subordinates are not weak either.

The reason I provoked Whitebeard this time was not for the villagers, but mainly because I wanted to see how big the gap is between us and the world's top strong men in a life-and-death battle.

Also, you stay here and watch while I go to the village and get a weapon. Otherwise, when the battle starts, it won’t be a good thing if I don’t have a weapon.”

"Boss, you go! I'll watch here." Jhin looked serious and nodded slightly, then stared at the coastline with anticipation and nervousness in his eyes.

During the five months that he and Barrett had been drifting on the sea, Barrett had told him a lot, including the current top powerhouses, Whitebeard being among them.

Later on Roger's ship, he learned more about powerful men, but Whitebeard's strength was admired by almost everyone. Even his master admitted that he was no match for Whitebeard. The only one on Roger's ship who could fight Whitebeard back and forth was Roger.

That's why he hesitated when he heard that Big Beard was a member of White Beard's crew. To be more precise, he felt fear.

However, after experiencing Barrett's domineering provocation, his fear had turned into a strong desire to fight.

After all, swinging a sword at a strong person is the meaning of challenge.

Barrett chuckled, jumped into the village, then quickly chopped down a big tree, carved a mold, and then collected all the ironware in the village, using his ability to melt it and pour it into the mold.

In an instant, thick black smoke came out of the mold. Barrett quickly poured water on it, and thick steam instantly filled the air.

When the water vapor dissipated, a strange painted halberd took shape.

"Damn, it seems that only professionals can forge this thing."

Seeing the ugly painted halberd, Barrett was filled with black lines on his face. He walked towards the beach while holding the ugly halberd, cursing.
