Pirates: Who is the real sun god?

One month later, on an unknown island.

The sun is high in the sky and the air is hot.

Huff, huff—

There was another round of intense training on the island, and everyone on the island was doing various training in the water.

Even Barrett and Jhin were no exception. However, as soon as they came into contact with water, their bodies became limp, causing the boys and girls beside them to think that they were acting. Only Delia and Johnson knew that the two had eaten devil fruits and were practicing their resistance to sea water.

Huff, huff—

Barrett gasped for breath and did a push-up with all his might. With a "plop", he fell into the sea. Then he turned over and climbed out of the sea with great effort. His strength recovered quickly.

"Damn, this is too exaggerated." Barrett whispered while looking at the sea.

After becoming a user with special abilities, he had never been in the water until the last time he was knocked into the sea by Whitebeard. He then discovered that users with special abilities could still retain a bit of physical strength after being knocked into the sea. This gave him some ideas, that is, to train in the sea to build up resistance so that if he fell into the sea, he would at least not be completely defenseless.

However, he obviously underestimated the side effects of sea water on people with special abilities. Once he was completely submerged, all his physical strength would disappear. After a month of continuous experiments, he was barely able to retain a little bit of physical strength and struggle to the shore.

When Jhin saw Barrett's training method, he became interested and started training with Barrett. However, he almost ended up in tragedy. Fortunately, Johnson was training next to him and lifted him up several times.

But the two did not gain nothing. They found that by forcibly consuming physical energy in this way, they could increase their physical strength. So they thought about it and started exercising on the beach.

In the evening, after the medicinal bath, everyone sat obediently in the open space on the shore, because they knew that they were about to begin a trial of life and death.

"I think you all know that you will start a trial outside the forest. Only those who survive will be eligible to continue to enjoy the qualification of becoming stronger. Are you ready?"

Barrett walked up to the crowd and looked at them with a smile on his face. After a month of training, the group of people gradually became stronger and looked much better than before.

However, the medicinal herbs brought by Barrett and his crew have been used up. After the trial, he and Jhin will leave to prepare the herbs.

"Ready."

Everyone responded in unison, their voices echoing throughout the entire island.

Barrett said loudly, "Remember, you need to survive in the forest for a week. During this period, you will not get any help and can only rely on yourself. There is only one requirement for you, and that is to survive."

"Yes, my lord."

Everyone responded in unison.

"Jin, is everything arranged?"

Barrett turned to look at Jhin with a very serious expression. The trial that Barrett gave to the group of people was naturally prepared in advance. It only contained ordinary ferocious beasts. With the current strength of this group of people, as long as they were careful and not afraid, they could survive.

If you are timid and don't use your brain, you will be disabled if you don't die.

"Boss, don't worry!" Jhin nodded seriously.

"Everyone."

Barrett turned around, looked at everyone fiercely, and shouted loudly, "I declare the first trial to begin. Remember, you have no way out. I will block your way out."

"set off!"

"Yes, my lord."

Everyone bowed together and walked into the forest in a mighty procession. In less than a moment, the coast became empty.

"Delia, Johnson, I will let Jhin take you to your trial field in a while. It is ten times more dangerous there than they are. If you don't want to, we will take you with us when we leave."

Although Barrett said this to Johnson, he was speaking more to Delia, hoping that Delia would give up when faced with difficulties.

"Boss, I accept the trial," Johnson grinned.

"I accept that, too." Delia nodded in agreement.

"Jin, take them!"

Barrett looked at Delia deeply, then turned and gave an order to Jhin.

"Okay, boss."

Jhin nodded and left with Delia and Johnson.

Looking at the forest in the distance, Barrett's eyes flickered and there was a hint of struggle in them. He knew that many people would die after this group of people went in.

Ho ho ho——

Not long after, the roars of beasts were heard one after another in the mountains and forests, and ashes fell from the sky.

"Everything is arranged?"

Barrett asked softly without looking back, looking at the forest shrouded in darkness.

"It's arranged." Jin's voice was dull. Seeing this group of boys and girls, he seemed to remember his childhood.

"Only by breaking the shackles can you truly control your own destiny." Barrett whispered.

Then, Barrett turned around and looked at Jhin, changing the subject, "Jhin, you keep an eye on this place, I'm going to the Calm Belt to see if there are other suitable islands.

I have a plan next. Once it is implemented, this place will definitely be discovered. We need to prepare for the rainy day and find a place to stay in advance. "

"Boss, what's the plan?" Jhin asked.

"I'm not sure yet. I'll tell you when I'm sure." Barrett responded.

"Then boss, I'll go check it out, you stay here and watch." Jhin said.

"That's fine, but you have to remember to be more discreet."

Barrett nodded. Jhin's speed was about the same as his, but his endurance was much stronger than his. He could fly for several days in a row without getting tired.

"Then Boss, I'll leave first."

As Jhin spoke, a pair of red wings stretched out from his back. He flew into the sky, and disappeared into the horizon with a flap of his wings.

Barrett withdrew his gaze and looked towards the forest with worry in his eyes.

"Forget it, let's go and take a look!"

After hesitating for a moment, Barrett jumped and flew into the forest.

He might be able to be indifferent to other people, but he couldn't turn a blind eye to Delia and Johnson and watch them die in front of him.

roar-

In the forest, all kinds of wild beasts danced wildly and roamed freely in the forest.

“So many people died.”

Barrett turned on his Observation Haki and investigated carefully. He soon discovered that dozens of boys and girls who had entered the forest had died.

"Hey--"

Barrett sighed quietly but did not make any move. He had just checked and found that the animals in the forest were not strong. With the current physical fitness of these people, as long as they did not seek death and used their brains, they could survive these seven days.

Barrett didn't stop for long. He jumped up and used his observation Haki to detect Delia's location while flying.

Soon, on the right side of the forest, he discovered a breath whose strength was about the same as Delia's.

Barrett turned and flew towards Delia at high speed.

A moment later, Barrett found Delia and discovered that she was fighting a tiger. She was covered with wounds, and the tiger was also chopped by her.

Barrett landed on a tree and looked carefully.

"ah--"

Delia let out a delicate cry, and in a flash, she appeared behind the tiger and chopped it hard with her long sword.

Roar--

The tiger seemed to sense something and swept its tail heavily towards Delia.

clang--

Delia immediately retracted her long sword and blocked it in front of her. Under the tiger's huge force, Delia was swept several meters away, but she was not injured.

call out--

Delia flashed again, this time appearing at the tiger's waist. She swung her long sword swiftly and slashed the tiger's waist, leaving a wound and bleeding.

Roar--

The tiger felt pain, turned around suddenly, and bit Delia.

Seeing this scene, Barrett clenched a branch in his hand, ready to shoot at any time.

Delia was not panicked at all and dodged at high speed.

Then, he quickly moved to the other side of the tiger and slashed the same wound on the tiger with the long knife.

Roar--

The tiger was bleeding profusely. In severe pain, it roared to the sky and pounced on Delia.

Delia moved quickly to avoid the tiger's attack. The tiger chased her relentlessly, but Delia did not confront it head-on and kept dodging.

After a while, the tiger was exhausted, staggered a few times, and fell to the ground.

Delia did not approach immediately, but waited for a long time. Seeing that the tiger did not move, she approached the tiger cautiously and gave it another blow.

"This girl——"

Watching Delia's series of operations, Barrett couldn't help but smile. He left quietly, flying over the forest, looking for Johnson.

Compared to Delia's cautious and agile behavior, Johnson was extremely violent. He fought the giant bear head-on with his fists, and the fight was extremely bloody.

Barrett took a few looks and saw that Johnson was not in danger, so he flew to the outskirts of the forest. Using his sight and hearing skills, he found that the number of people outside had not decreased, so he left the forest.
