One Piece: General Xuanming, Defeat the New World

"It's okay, let me do it."

"Barrett is still too much for you."

Carson gently hugged Anna, patted her back, and comforted her softly.

In fact, in Carsent's opinion, Anna may not be as good as Barrett in terms of hard power, but it is impossible for her to be crushed instantly by Barrett's thundering power.

This is also the reason why Carsent did not stop Anna from taking action at the beginning.

But it must be said that Anna's personality is indeed not very (very?) suitable for combat, or it can be said that her combat awareness is almost zero.

Anna had never experienced real fighting before, and she had almost no understanding of combat, such as how to fight, how to kill, how to kill with one blow, how to use and control the body's instinctive reactions, when to exchange injury for life, when to block, etc.

"Maybe I should start practicing with those small pirates whose bounties are 10 or 20 million Baileys. I am a little impatient."

Carsente muttered softly as he sent the frightened Anna back to the warship.

After doing all this, Carsent rose into the air again, and his momentum changed instantly!

"Douglas Barrett, as you expected, here I come!"

"Boom!"

In an instant, the majestic domineering color in Carsent's body burst out instantly, and the blood-red aura instantly covered an area of ​​hundreds of miles. The sky and the earth were scarlet, and everything around was trembling under Carsent's aura.

Above the sky, scarlet domineering lightning kept falling, blood-red thunder shattered everything, and scarlet lightning raged and roared in the void.

The Xuanwu divine beast's pressure like mountains and seas enveloped the sea surface, as if a mountain weighing tens of thousands of tons had fallen, and it was as if one was in a thousand-foot deep sea, with every inch of skin under irresistible pressure.

Below, Barrett's body was trembling slightly. Under this pressure, it seemed as if his soul was about to surrender completely. Endless pressure was pressing on his shoulders, and even moving his fingers seemed extremely difficult.

"Hahahahaha, Lieutenant General Xuanming, that's it!"

Under the heavy pressure, Barrett actually burst into a crazy laugh. The violent laughter made Barrett's already ferocious face twisted into a ball, looking even more terrifying.

"Come on, only someone with this kind of strength is qualified to be challenged by me!"

Barrett grinned madly, and the domineering aura belonging to the evil spirit gushed out from his body, trying to resist Carsent's momentum.

After only a moment of stalemate, blood flowed out of Barrett's mouth and the domineering color was instantly suppressed back into his body.

Barrett, now only eighteen years old, Barrett's courage comes more from the fearlessness of a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger and the ambition to fear nothing. He dares to challenge everything and dares to crush everything.

All of this is, after all, just the belief in Barrett's heart, a belief that has not been supported by facts. In every challenge, every challenge in the past, whether it was Roger or Cap, they were able to suppress Barrett with thundering force.

Even Rayleigh can only tie with Rayleigh when he is relaxed. As long as Rayleigh gets serious, Barrett is still no match for him.

Barrett's momentum is flashy but not practical for a truly strong person. With only willpower but no support from facts, and without absolute self-confidence, no matter how noble and magnificent the will is, its core will eventually dry up.

This kind of momentum can only bully a newbie like Anna who doesn't even know how to use the Conqueror Haki. A truly strong person will be easily defeated with just one poke.

And Carsent's will has been thoroughly confirmed in battles and collisions time and time again. His unrivaled defense and his confidence that defy everything are the spirit of the true "strongest."

Compared with the two, although it cannot be said that there is a huge difference, they are like heaven and earth.

As the outcome of the collision of momentum was decided, Carsent also withdrew his momentum.

"Hahahaha, what a strong will, Lieutenant General Xuanming."

"What kind of ideal do you want to achieve? What kind of goal can carry such a will!"

Barrett casually wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, took a few deep breaths, and then stood up again.

"If you leave now, I can let you go as a token of my gratitude for your kindness to Anna."

"I believe you have already seen the gap between you and me. You can't win."

On the speedboat, Barrett was silent for a moment.

From the clash of wills just now, Barrett already understood the gap between the two, a chasm that was difficult to cross no matter what.

"Two hundred miles ahead, there is an island with a large iron mine. Come to the island and fight me!"

"My devil fruit doesn't work at sea."

Barrett spoke loudly, but his tone became less confident with each word he spoke.

A strong man is a strong man in any environment. Barrett himself felt embarrassed to say this.

"I want to see your greatest strength!"

After he finished speaking, Barrett's gaze became firm again, and he raised his head and looked directly into Carsent's eyes.

"You are not afraid of death?"

"If I can witness a more powerful force, what is there to fear about death?"

"I am a warrior. What's so scary about dying at the hands of a strong man?"

Barrett pounded his fists, his fighting spirit rising again.

"In that case, if you lose, I won't take your life. After the defeat, you will join the navy and become my subordinate."

Carson put forward his own conditions.

"Hahahahaha, above the sea, the winner rules everything. If you can win, then whatever you say goes!!!"

Barrett laughed out loud!

"lead the way!"

The agreement was reached, and Carsent returned to the Shield Eternal on the moon steps.

Choosing to subdue Barrett was also a choice made after careful consideration by Carsen.

Unlike other pirates, identity has no meaning to Douglas Barrett. Barrett chose to join Roger's pirate group only because he admired Roger's power rather than his identity.

Or perhaps it is the worship of power that is in Barrett's bones that is enough to guide him in doing everything.

Barrett doesn't mind following anyone as long as they have the power to crush him.

Whether in terms of ability or physical strength and skills, Barrett has what it takes to become a top fighter.

Judging from his merits and demerits, Barrett had previously mainly wreaked havoc within the New World, mostly challenging and robbing other pirates, and had not engaged in too many looting operations.

Pirates are not protected by the navy.

At the same time, Barrett's existence is equivalent to Carsent planting a nail in the pirates' side in the New World, which may come in handy in the future.

Just like the Seven Warlords of the Sea in the future, they were the agents chosen by the World Government to check and balance the increasingly powerful pirate forces.

However, the hasty selection resulted in the first group of Seven Warlords of the Sea having uneven strengths, and they were completely unable to play their due roles.
