Chapter 429 Lonely Red, Barrett Reappears
"Baloric Redfield? The Lonely Red?"

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

But in this real world, there is indeed such a person, but he is a character from decades ago, and he has already been imprisoned in the promotion city.

He doesn't know much about this Baloric Redfield, who is known as the lonely red and the Red Earl, but he has only seen it a few times in the fan fiction of his previous life, and knows that he will get the animal-type phantom beast after he is released from prison. A bat fruit vampire form, becoming a very powerful character.

It's just that when this guy got the devil fruit and where he found it, he really doesn't know.

The flying squirrel said: "Yes, that's him, the super pirate in the era of Admiral Kong, although not as good as Roger and Whitebeard, but he was also the top pirate at that time, but he has already been imprisoned in the promotion city. , has not appeared for decades, this time he can escape, it should be the last time when the Blackbeard Pirates made a big fuss in the city."

The number of prisoners who escaped from the city last time, apart from the highest level of the navy and the world government, even the generals at the rank of vice admiral, do not know.

The last time Jon went to the city, 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 the city. However, the main reason is that he completely ignored the existence of this person.

"When did you find him?" Jon asked.

The flying squirrel reached: "Five days ago, one of our cruise ships discovered him and was attacked by him. All the people on board were killed. Finally, he left us this information."

"I see."

The Red Earl was also a big pirate with a lot of crimes back then, and his methods were extremely cruel. The navy paid a huge price to catch him, and it is understandable to take revenge on the navy after he came out.

But Jon knew more, and what he was especially concerned about was that besides being a bat fruit capable person, this person, like him, was born with awakened domineering aura, and his domineering aura of knowledge was so powerful that he could read the hearts and memories of others.

Jon himself is a domineering person who is born awakened, knowledgeable, and naturally aware of the horror of this ability, especially the other party has the ability to read other people's hearts and memories. This is an ability that he does not have. If you want to catch such a person, It is really too difficult.

Even Baloric Redfield, who is now old and weak and has not obtained the vampire form of the bat fruit, is not an ordinary lieutenant general who can deal with it. Only a strong general level can 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 hadn't got yet.

This devil fruit is very powerful, and it can restore youth and maintain combat power. Even though it needs to suck blood to take the life of others, in Jon's view, this is not a shortcoming.

Any powerful power needs to pay a certain price, but if you just suck blood, the price is already very small.

He already has a plant fruit himself, so naturally he doesn't need a second devil fruit. He fell in love with this devil fruit because of his wife Gion.

In recent years, after his appearance has not changed much, Gion has complained more than once. He sees it, but there is nothing he can do about it. After all, he can only guarantee his own body and cannot change the body of others.

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

Depriving others of their lives by sucking blood, there are so many wicked people in this world, there is no shortage of blood.

People are selfish. Back then, his father was able to secretly give him the fruit of the spoiled plant for his future, and he could also snatch the bat fruit in vampire form for his wife.

"Flying squirrel, send someone to look for Baloric Redfield. Since he has appeared, we can't let him continue to act recklessly. We must deal with him before he makes a big fuss."

The flying squirrel frowned and said, "It's just an old and weak old guy, is it necessary to take him so seriously?"

Pepperton laughed and said, "At first, in our eyes, Whitebeard was just a frail old guy, but in the end, he almost ruined Marin Vanduo."

Jon said: "Pepperton is right. Although Baloric Redfield is not as good as Whitebeard and Roger, he was also a first-class big pirate back then. If there is any big trouble, I came to the New World ahead of time 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, a certain sea area!
Since the Whitebeard Pirates returned to the New World after the Top War, they have no peace for a moment, and face a steady stream of bad news every day.

A few months have passed since the war on the top, and through the efforts of Marco and others, the Whitebeard Pirates have slowly regained their vitality. Although it cannot be compared with the time when Whitebeard was still there, at least it has gradually 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 sphere of influence is less than half of what it was before, and their strength has also dropped sharply.

The main reason is that the Dingshang War lost a large number of outstanding talents and powerful pirates, and 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 Marco and other captains, and 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 and more courageous. 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-team meeting.

During the top war, the pirate group lost several captains, but after a few months, new captains were promoted, so now the Whitebeard Pirates now have [-] captains, and there are two squadrons because they have no strength. Enough captains have been banned and integrated into other teams.

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

But these affiliated pirates usually stay on their own territory and don't get together with the Whitebeard Pirates. They only go to the Moby Dick when something happens.

The Moby Dick was damaged during the top war, but the Whitebeard Pirates spent a lot of money to repair it in memory of Whitebeard, and now their main ship is still the Moby Dick.

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

Big Mom Pirates!
It has been a while since I have been fighting against the BIG MOM Pirates. Although the two sides have not fought on a large scale, the pressure on the Whitebeard Pirates is still enormous.

Because they not only have to face the powerful threat of the BIG MOM pirate group, but also face the intrusion of other pirate forces.

"The BIG MOM Pirates don't seem to want to start a full-scale war with us, but their behavior of constantly harassing us makes us even more troublesome."

The captains all complained that they are not afraid of fighting, but the BIG MOM pirates fight from time to time, and they don't fight desperately. They just restrain them and make 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, Brother Xiaoma has completely lost his idle temperament and replaced it with solemnity and majesty. During this period of time, he has controlled the Pirates, and both psychological and other aspects have undergone qualitative changes. Now He is already a qualified leader.

He said in a deep voice, "I know it won't work, but what can we do? Now the opponent is taking the initiative and we are passive. Unless our strength overwhelms them, it will be difficult to reverse the situation."

As the current mastermind of the pirate group, he is very clear that what they lack now is not the number of pirates, but the top powerhouse who can dominate the sea. His strength is good, but compared to Charlotte Lingling, he is not there. A notch up.

The core of the Four Emperors Pirates is not the huge number of pirates and their sphere of influence, but their captains. Only those with the Four Emperors rank can qualify as the Four Emperors Pirates.

Thinking of this, Marco couldn't help looking at Ace who was silent.

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

As for their Whitebeard Pirates, only Ace is the only pirate who is qualified and has potential. Ace has the potential to become a superpower like their father.

But the problem is, time.

They don't have enough time right now, time is too precious to them, Ace is just their hope, not a lifeline right now.

Bista said: "Although the current situation is not good, it is still within the control range. As long as Big Mom doesn't make a move, we can still hold on, but no one knows that the crazy woman of Big Mom will Will shoot, we have to defend."

Once Charlotte Lingling makes a move, it will be a disaster for their pirate group. Although it will not destroy them, it will definitely expose them to an unprecedented crisis.

At this time, someone said: "If there is really no other way, we can try to give up the Murloc Island. Now we need to shrink the line of defense. If we fight to the death with the BIG MOM Pirates for a Murloc Island, the loss outweighs the gain. .”

As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly fell into a strange silence. Obviously, this question was a taboo.

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

But the Fishman Island is different. The protection fee contributed by the Fishman Island is far more than other sites, and there are also the Sun Pirates and Jinbe there. The Sun Pirates’ Jinbe is their very good friend. , they really couldn't say no.

"No."

Ace was the first to break the silence. He looked at everyone and said firmly, "We can't back down anymore."

Everyone is silent, who doesn't understand this truth?But now it's not about talking, but about strength.

It has been a long time since Ace returned to the Pirates, and he has also recovered from the fiasco of the top war.

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

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

Joz, the captain of the third team, also said in a low voice: "Ace is right, we can't retreat anymore, if the Big Mom Pirates really want to fight, we will fight with them to the end, our Whitebeard Pirates I haven't been afraid of anyone yet, and I can't lose my father's face."

Speaking of Dad, the expressions of all the people present became ugly. Even after a few months, they still couldn't accept the fact that Dad was no longer there.

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

"I……"

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

"Captains, something has happened."

Marco and the others suddenly stood up.

"Is the Big Mom Pirates calling?"

The pirate who reported 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 sentence saying that he asked Captain Ace to wait for him, and he will come soon."

"Looking for Ace?"

Marko and other captains looked at Ace in surprise, but 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?"

"'Devil's Heir' Douglas Barrett!"

Upon hearing this name, Marco and several veteran captains all changed their complexions drastically.

"What? It turned out to be him? Is this guy still alive?"

Seeing the drastic change in the faces of Marco and the others, Ace was even more confused, and asked eagerly, "Marco, Joz, do you know this person?"

Bista said: "Not only do you know, but you have also dealt with him. Speaking of which, this person is also related to your father, Roger. He used to be a crew member of Roger's Pirates."

"His crew?"

Hearing Roger's name, Ace's expression changed.

Vista nodded and said: "Yes, Douglas Barrett is an extremely terrifying pirate. He used to be a crew member of the Roger Pirates, but later left the pirates and wandered alone on the sea. He is very powerful. It’s terrifying, but later I heard that he was killed by the Navy’s Demon Slaughter Order, so why is he still alive now?”

Back then, the Demon Slaying Order was used on Barrett. Except for the navy, no one knew the specific situation. Later, Barrett disappeared, so everyone in the sea thought that Barrett had been wiped out by the navy.

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

Ace asked in confusion: "But I have nothing to do with him, right? Why did he want to find me?"

When Barrett disappeared, he was not yet born, so naturally there was no intersection.

Marco said, "It's probably because of your identity."

Ace gritted his teeth, showing resignation, because of his identity, he suffered too much staring, and even caused his father to die tragically, so he hated his identity very much.
