My code name is Green Bull

"Baroric Redfield? Alone Red?"

Jon looked stunned. Baloric Redfield, the "Aloof Red", was not a character in the anime plot, but a character in the previous game.

However, in this real world, this person does exist, but he is a character from decades ago and has been imprisoned in Impel Down City long ago.

He didn't know much about the aloof Red Baron, known as the Red Earl. He had only seen it a few times in fan fiction in his previous life, and knew that he would get animal fantasy beasts after he was released from prison. Grow the bat fruit vampire form and become a very powerful person.

It's just that he really doesn't know when exactly this guy got the Devil Fruit or where he found it.

Flying Squirrel said: "Yes, that's him. The super pirate in the era of Marshal Kong. Although he was not as good as Roger and Whitebeard, he was also the top pirate at the time. However, he had already been imprisoned in Impel Down City. , has not appeared for decades, and this time he was able to escape, it should be the last time the Blackbeard Pirates made a big fuss in Impel Down City."

How many prisoners escaped from Impel Down City last time was not known except for the top brass of the Navy and the World Government, even the vice-admiral level officers.

The last time Jon went to Impel Down, he paid special attention to a few prisoners, such as Barrett, who also escaped. As for Baloric Redfield, he really didn't pay attention when he was in Impel Down. However, the main reason was that he completely ignored the existence of this person.

"When did you find his trace?" Jon asked.

Flying Squirrel reached: "Five days ago, one of our cruisers discovered him and was attacked by him. All the people on the ship were killed, and finally he left us this information."

"I see."

The Red Earl was also a notorious pirate back then, and his methods were extremely cruel. The navy paid a huge price to catch him. It is understandable that he would seek revenge from the navy after he came out.

But Jon knew more, and what particularly concerned him was that, in addition to being a Bat Fruit ability user, this person was also born with awakened knowledge-color Haki like him, and his Knowledge-color Haki was very powerful and could be read. The hearts and memories of others.

Jon himself is a person who is born with awakening, knowledge, and domineering power. Naturally, he knows how terrifying this ability is, especially when the other party has the ability to read other people's hearts and memories. This is an ability that even he does not have. If he wants to catch such a person, It's really difficult.

Even Baloric Redfield, who is now old and weak and has not obtained the vampire form of the bat fruit, is not something that an ordinary lieutenant general can deal with. He must be a strong man at the level of a general to have a chance to defeat the opponent.

"Bat Fruit Vampire Form, this is a good devil fruit."

Jon's eyes were shining brightly. He didn't care too much about Baloric Redfield. What he cared about was the Devil Fruit that the other party had not yet obtained.

This devil fruit is very powerful, and it can also restore youth and maintain fighting strength. Even though it needs to suck blood to take away the life span of others, this is not a shortcoming in Jon's opinion.

Any powerful power comes at a certain price, but if you just suck blood, the price is already very small.

He already has the plant fruit himself, so naturally he doesn't need a second devil fruit. He is interested in this devil fruit for his wife Gion.

In recent years, after his appearance had not changed much, Gion had complained more than once. He saw it, but there was nothing he could do. After all, he could only protect his own body and could not change other people's bodies.

If you can get the bat fruit and vampire form and let Gion eat it, the effect will definitely be no worse than the plant fruit.

Relying on blood-sucking to take away the lifespan of others, there are so many evil people in this world that there is no shortage of blood.

People are selfish. Back then, his father could secretly give him the trophy plant fruit for his future, and he could also snatch the bat fruit and vampire form for his wife.

"Flying Squirrel, send someone to find Baloric Redfield. Now that he has appeared, we cannot let him continue to act recklessly. We must deal with him before he causes a big problem."

The flying squirrel frowned and said: "He is just an old and weak old guy. Is it necessary to pay so much attention to him?"

Pemberton chuckled at the side and said: "In our eyes, Whitebeard was just an old guy with weak strength at first, but in the end, he almost destroyed Malinfando."

Jon said: "Pepperton is right. Although Baloric Redfield is not as good as Whitebeard and Roger, he was also a first-rate pirate at the time. If he just sat idly by and ignored him, he might become a big pirate." If there is any big trouble, I came to the New World in advance just to solve this kind of thing."

Having said this, the flying squirrel immediately replied with a serious face: "I understand."

"By the way, after you find him, don't act rashly and notify me as soon as possible."

"yes."

New world, somewhere in the sea!

Since the Whitebeard Pirates returned to the new world after the War at the Top, they have not had a moment of peace, and they have to face a steady stream of bad news every day.

A few months have passed since the War on Top. Through the efforts of Marco and others, the Whitebeard Pirates have slowly recovered their strength. Although it cannot be compared with the period when Whitebeard was still there, at least it has gradually recovered. Stabilized the situation.

It's just that they used to be the strongest pirate group in the New World, but now, although their foundation is still there, their scope of influence is less than half of what it was before, and their strength has also been reduced sharply.

The main reason is that the war on top lost a large number of outstanding talents and powerful pirates. In the past few months, they were unable to replenish new combat power, so their strength could not be restored and improved.

The current Whitebeard Pirates are headed by captains such as Marco. There is no real captain or leader, but Marco has the greatest power.

In the past few months, the Whitebeard Pirates have encountered a lot of challenges, but they have persisted and become more courageous with each setback. But recently, they have encountered a lot of trouble.

At this moment, the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates, headed by Marco, gathered together for an intra-group meeting.

During the war, the pirates lost several captains, but after a few months, new captains were promoted, so now the Whitebeard Pirates have fourteen captains, and two divisions due to lack of strength. Enough captains have been banned and integrated into other divisions.

In addition to the high status of the captains of the Whitebeard Pirates, the status of the pirate captains under their command is also not low, especially the captains of the powerful affiliated pirate groups, some of whom can be compared with the captains.

However, these affiliated pirate groups usually guard their own territory and will not gather with the Whitebeard Pirates. They will only go to the Moby Dick when something happens.

The Mobydick was damaged during the War, but the Whitebeard Pirates spent a lot of money to repair it in memory of Whitebeard. Today, their main ship is still the Mobydick.

Today, the captains held a meeting again for one thing.

BIG·MOM Pirates!

It has been a while since the Big Mom Pirates had fought against each other. Although the two sides had not started a large-scale war, the pressure on the Whitebeard Pirates was still huge.

Because they not only have to face the powerful threat of the Big Mom Pirates, but also face the intrusion of other pirate forces.

"It seems that the Big Mom Pirates don't want to start a full-scale war with us, but their behavior of constantly harassing us gives us more headaches."

The captains all complained that they were not afraid of fighting, but the Big Mom Pirates would fight from time to time, not trying hard, but just to contain them, which made them very uncomfortable.

"Marco, we are too passive, we can't continue like this." A new captain couldn't help but said to Marco.

Compared with a few months ago, Xiao Ma has completely lost his carefree temperament, replaced by solemn and majestic. During this time, he has been controlling the pirate group, and has undergone qualitative changes, both psychologically and in other aspects. Now He is already a qualified leader.

He said solemnly: "I know this won't work, but what can I do? Now the other side takes the initiative and we are passive. Unless our strength overwhelms them, it will be difficult to reverse the situation."

As the current leader of the pirate group, he knows very well that what they lack now is not the number of pirates, but the top strong men who can dominate the sea. His strength is good, but compared to Charlotte Lingling, it is not. It's on a new level.

The core of the Yonko Pirates is not the huge number of pirates and their sphere of influence, but their captains. Only those with Yonko level pirates are qualified to be part of the Yonko Pirates.

Thinking of this, Marco couldn't help but look at Ace who was silent at the side.

He knew that his potential had reached its limit, and even if he could still improve, it would be almost impossible to reach the level of Charlotte Lingling and Dad Whitebeard.

As for the Whitebeard Pirates, the only pirate with qualifications and potential right now is Ace. Ace has the potential to become a super strong man like their father.

But the problem is, time.

They don't have enough time now, time is too precious to them, and Ace is just their hope, not their life-saving straw now.

Bista said: "Although the current situation is not good, it is still within control. As long as Big Mom does not take action, we can still hold on. But that crazy woman Big Mom, no one knows whether she will He will take action and we have to guard against him."

Once Charlotte Lingling takes action, it will be a disaster for their pirate group. Although it will not destroy them, it will definitely put them in an unprecedented crisis.

At this time, someone said: "If there is really no other way, we can try to abandon Fish-Man Island. Now we need to shrink the defense line. If we fight to the death with the Big Mom Pirates for a Fish-Man Island, it will be too much. .”

As soon as these words came out, the room fell into an eerie silence. It was obvious that this question was a taboo.

For them, they have given up too much territory recently. It's not that they don't want to take it back, but they are really powerless.

But Fish-Man Island is different. The protection fee contributed by Fish-Man Island is far more than other sites, and there are also the Sun Pirates and Jinbe there. Jinbe from the Sun Pirates is a very good friend of them, and the other party personally requested to come to their door. , they really couldn’t refuse.

"no."

Ace was the first to break the silence. He looked at everyone and said firmly: "We can't retreat any longer."

Everyone was silent. Who didn’t understand this? But now it's not just about talking, it's about strength.

It has been a long time since Ace returned to the pirate group, and he has also recovered from the fiasco of the War at the Top.

Except for himself, he was not rejected or resented by anyone else in the pirate group.

This is the unity of the Whitebeard Pirates. Although Ace is half responsible for the Whitebeard Pirates' current situation, everyone has never complained. Maybe some people feel unhappy, but at least Ace is No one showed it in front of Si.

The captain of the third team, Jozi, also said in a loud voice: "Ace is right, we can't retreat anymore. If the Big Mom Pirates really want to fight, we will accompany them to fight to the end. We, the Whitebeard Pirates, I haven’t been afraid of anyone yet, and I can’t lose my father’s face.”

Speaking of dad, the faces of everyone present turned ugly. Even after several months, they still couldn't accept the fact that dad was no longer here.

Marco looked at everyone. In his heart, he was just like Ace, unwilling to retreat, but his reason told him that giving up Fish-Man Island was the best choice, so he wanted to get the answer from other people.

"I……"

Marco was about to speak when suddenly the door to the room was pushed open and the pirate guarding outside ran in.

"Captains, something happened."

Marco and others suddenly stood up.

"Is it the Big Mom Pirates calling?"

The pirate reporting at the door shook his head and said, "No."

Marco frowned: "It's not the Big Mom Pirates, what's going on?"

The pirate replied: "Someone picked our stronghold and left a message, saying that Captain Ace should wait for him and he would be here soon."

"Looking for Ace?"

Marco and other captains looked at Ace in surprise, while Ace looked confused. Who would come to him by picking their stronghold?

Marco asked: "Do you know where the other party came from?"

"According to our people, the other party is very similar to a pirate from more than 20 years ago."

"who?"

"'The Devil's Spawn' Douglas Barrett!"

Upon hearing this name, Marco and other veteran captains' expressions changed drastically.

"What? It's him? Is this guy still alive?"

Ace saw the drastic change in the faces of Marco and others, and felt even more confused. He asked eagerly: "Marco, Joz, do you know this person?"

Bista said: "Not only do I know about him, I have also dealt with him. Speaking of which, this person is also related to your father Roger. He was once a crew member of the Roger Pirates."

"His crew?"

Ace's expression changed when he heard Roger's name.

Bista nodded and said: "Yes, Douglas Barrett is an extremely terrifying pirate. He was once a crew member of the Roger Pirates, but later left the pirate group and wandered the sea alone. He was very powerful. It’s scary, but later I heard that he was killed by the navy’s demon-slaying order, so why is he still alive now?”

When the Demon-Slaying Order was used on Barrett, no one except the navy knew the specific situation. Later, Barrett disappeared, so everyone on the sea thought that Barrett had been eliminated by the navy.

After more than 20 years, Barrett appeared again, and Marco and others were naturally very surprised.

Ace asked in confusion: "But I have nothing to do with him, right? Why is he looking for me?"

When Barrett disappeared, he was not yet born, so naturally there was no interaction with him.

Marco said: "It's most likely because of your identity."

Ace gritted his teeth and showed his unwillingness. Because of his identity, he suffered too many glares and even caused his father to die tragically, so he hated his identity very much.
