Pirates from island owner to king

"I saw the confusion in Barrett's heart. Like me, he hopes to join the Peace Island Kingdom, but he still can't let go of his persistent pursuit of power in the past."

Ryder didn't doubt Whitebeard's statement that Barrett was just a minor nuisance.

Know your own situation.

In fact, he knew that his past fame was, to a certain extent, due to the World Government's deliberate flattery, so he could be ranked alongside the Whitebeard Pirates and the Roger Pirates.

The real situation is that his strength is indeed at the top of the sea.

However, it has not reached the ceiling level. Compared with Roger himself and Whitebeard himself, there is still some gap in terms of strength.

It can be said that it is a sub-ceiling level of strength.

A single person can be compared with the Whitebeard Pirates or the Roger Pirates, but this is just a deliberate boast by the World Government.

The purpose is to make them pirates kill each other.

At that time, the World Government almost completely controlled the voice channels of the sea. Knowing that it was impossible to explain, Ryder did not stand up to explain.

Of course, it was also because he had some expectations at the time.

I hope that one day I can reach the same level as the world government touts.

However, reality let him know that this would be very difficult.

As a result, when he tried to prove himself, he was defeated by the navy and imprisoned in Impel Down.

Although if he wanted to escape, there was a high chance that he could escape.

Over the years in Impel Down, Ryder also understood the gap between himself, Whitebeard, and Roger.

The main difference lies in the will.

Being born with the ability to hear people's thoughts is both a gift and a pressure.

The human heart is like hell.

On the sea, after seeing too much darkness in people's hearts, he failed to hone a strong and fearless will, and instead felt world-weary.

Understanding is one thing, doing it is another.

After coming out of Impel Down City, he could feel that he was starting to get older.

Not only has he failed to return to his peak, his strength has also declined.

In comparison, Whitebeard, who can be regarded as the same era, not only maintained his peak, but also went further and reached a height that even Roger had not reached.

Such a white beard made him envious.

What made him even more envious was that Barrett, who had reached the top level and was on the same level as Whitebeard and Roger, was indeed just a little trouble in front of Whitebeard.

"The fact that he is here today shows that he is ready to make a break with the past."

Whitebeard understood what Ryder was talking about, and he also knew about Barrett's experience.

Barrett, who knew the past, was lost in the pursuit of power because of his childhood experiences.

This made him think of himself and many people.

Many of them have experienced war since childhood, and unlike children born in the Peace Island Kingdom today, they can enjoy peace.

At this moment, Barrett also drove a submarine and came to the Moby Dick.

From a distance, Barrett looked at Whitebeard.

Everyone on the deck also looked at Barrett.

They have realized that Barrett will probably be their new companion from now on.

Most of them are familiar with Barrett.

It is also clear that this is a monster.

"After I went to sea, Roger gave me my first taste of failure. In order to surpass Roger, I joined Roger's pirate group."

Barrett didn't look at anyone else. He only had a white beard in his eyes, and a strong fighting will began to overflow from him.

It gives people the feeling of being as terrifying as a domineering color.

Whitebeard looked at him with interest and did not interrupt what he was saying.

"If the invitation from a few years ago still counts, plus a piece of pure gold, as long as you defeat me, I can join the Peace Island Kingdom."

No one present felt that Barrett was arrogant or too demanding.

Because he has this strength and potential.

Even though the Peace Island Kingdom is already very powerful now, it will undoubtedly become even more powerful if Barrett joins.

They are not worried that the addition of Barrett will create competition with them.

Over the years, Wang Hai often said, make many friends and make few enemies. This truth has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Of course they hope that the Peace Island Kingdom can become more and more powerful.

Even, one day, the world government can be disintegrated without having to do it yourself.

"Kulala, there is nothing wrong with pure gold. If you want to taste it but fail, I can also help."

Whitebeard responded with a laugh, and then stood up, but did not go to pick up the supreme sharp knife Cong Yunqie placed aside.

"Start preparing the banquet, Marco. The battle will be over soon."

Then, Whitebeard said something else.

Although Whitebeard seemed to have no intention of taking full action, Barrett did not feel looked down upon and became angry.

He disappeared from everyone's sight like a teleport, and when he reappeared, he came directly to Whitebeard.

The fists wrapped in armed colors were like cannonballs, and they were about to come into close contact with Whitebeard's head in the next second.

However, Whitebeard just stretched out a hand, wrapped his armed-colored palm, and directly received Barrett's fist.

Afterwards, Whitebeard didn't even retreat at all.

Seeing this scene, Marco and the others, who could barely see clearly, were not surprised at all.

But Ryder and Barrett themselves were extremely shocked.

Everyone who was watching the battle from a distance, as well as everyone who was watching the battle live through these people, were extremely shocked.

Those who didn’t know better thought that Barrett and Whitebeard were not serious.

Because the battle between the two was so fast that people couldn't react and couldn't keep up with their eyes, but there didn't seem to be any earth-shattering movement that could destroy everything.

However, some powerful people with more vision and strength were truly shocked.

They were extremely certain that Barrett's punch could even directly blow up a battleship or a hill.

However, he was easily taken over by Whitebeard.

What's even more terrifying is that after Whitebeard received it, he completely neutralized the terrifying power contained in this punch without causing any huge movement.

In fact, no damage was done to Moby Dick.

Most of them didn't know how Whitebeard did this.

Only Marco and others who witnessed the fight between the two at close range on the deck knew the specific situation.

Ryder saw it too.

When Whitebeard received the punch, an invisible wave spread towards Whitebeard's feet and spread into the sea without causing any damage to the ship.

Moreover, it continued to amplify in the sea, and was eventually absorbed by the vast sea, causing some inconspicuous fluctuations in the nearby sea water.

This is incredible.

He realized that this was Whitebeard's control of his own power and the development of his Shock Fruit ability, which had reached an astonishing height.

Barrett was also shocked, with a look of disbelief on his face that he was unable to throw a second punch.
