One Piece: Arrival on Sky Island at the beginning

"!!!"

The face of Valpo, who was originally happy, suddenly stared out of surprise.

On the sea surface, I saw a warship that was fine just now. At this moment, following a violent explosion, it fell apart and flames shot into the sky. In less than a minute, it completely sank into the sea and disappeared.

"What... what... is going on... Jace... Chromamon..."

Valpo subconsciously called out the names of his two men, but after calling out no one answered, he remembered that his two men seemed to be on the ship.

Doesn't that mean...

"Eh!!!"

At this moment, one of the soldiers from the surrounding Magnetic Drum Kingdom, who was observing the sea with a telescope, shouted in horror.

"There is a ship... No, there are people on the sea... What kind of monster is this..."

"You bastard, what are you talking about?"

These inconsistent words made Valpo extremely angry. He ran over, pushed the soldier away, and stepped forward himself.

Instantly, he saw a very strange scene.

On the sea, where the warship exploded just now, a red-skinned monster that was half man and half ship was really hurtling towards the Drum Kingdom at an incredible speed.

His upper body is that of a burly man with golden waves on his back, wearing a black military uniform and headphones on his head, but his lower body is a small boat that can only accommodate one person, with two people on both sides of the boat. The wooden wheels rotate rapidly, providing the ship with incredible power and speed.

Obviously, it was this half-man, half-ship monster that had just destroyed the warship.

but...

"What kind of monster is this..."

And just when Valpo roared in fear, the half-man, half-ship monster seemed to have noticed this, and the corner of his mouth twisted slightly, revealing a terrifying smile.

Then, visible to the naked eye, purple energy separated the man from the boat, and a huge, burly man appeared on the boat.

At this time, a soldier finally recognized the man, but because of this, he had no idea at the moment except to escape...

"Run...Run..."

"It's the monster with a bounty of one billion and eighty million berries, the descendant of the devil: Douglas Barrett..."

"...Why...such a monster would appear here..."

In an instant, the soldier's voice echoed throughout the entire station.

The soldiers around him were stunned for a moment, but then they realized what was happening and their eyes were completely blank.

"One billion and eighty million berries..."

Some of them may not have heard of Douglas Barrett's name, but the bounty of one billion and eighty million berries is enough to take away the courage of all soldiers to resist.

Everyone began to subconsciously follow the footsteps of the escaping soldier, heading outside, roaring in terror as they ran away.

Valpo also reacted at this moment.

"One billion and eighty million berries, isn't that more terrifying than the Sky Pirates..."

Valpo ran away in an instant, but as soon as he turned around, a huge figure blocked his escape.

Valpo felt as if he had hit an iron city wall, and his whole body was knocked away.

"Asshole... who is..."

Valpo's next words were not spoken.

Because, a huge hand, like a pliers, directly embedded in his neck, making him unable to breathe in pain, and at the same time, a huge shadow enveloped Valpo's entire body.

At this moment, Valbo finally realized something was wrong.

He raised his head and looked carefully in front of him. In an instant, Valpo's entire nerves were close to collapse.

"Devil...devil..."

The man who appeared in front of Valpo, clutching his neck, was the man he had just seen, Douglas Barrett, on the sea.

The man he saw had an excited smile on his face, his eyes were glowing red, and he exuded an aura of despair. He grinned and asked Valpo.

"Hey, I heard you right, did you mention the Sky Pirates..."

Valpo wanted to answer without even thinking, but his neck was stuck at the moment and he couldn't make any sound at all.

At this moment, Barrett suddenly laughed even more excitedly.

"really......"

With a click, Barrett casually threw the lifeless body aside with his head hanging down in his hands, and turned to look behind him.

"Finally I found you...the Sky Pirates..."

And Enelu looked at the man in front of him who looked like a lunatic and put even more pressure on him than the yellow monkey. He frowned and said.

"Come with me, my captain is waiting for you..."

"It really doesn't matter!?"

In the castle of Cigu Mountain, Freya nervously asked Ye Mu who was stuffing things into his mouth on the hospital bed.

The operation was over long ago. Ye Mu and Tiger also began to eat and recover quickly. Everything seemed to be going well.

But just a few minutes ago, Enel suddenly appeared and told everyone a shocking news.

An 'acquaintance' of Ye Mu and Enilu appeared in the sea near the Drum Kingdom.

Through the subsequent conversation between Ye Mu and Enilu, everyone also knew who this 'acquaintance' was.

He was once a member of the Roger Pirates, nicknamed "The Devil's Descendant", and was known as the successor of "Ghost". The bounty on his head was twice that of Ye Mu: one billion and eighty million berries, and he was as terrifying as a monster. Same Douglas Barrett.

Moreover, through Enel's monitoring, this guy actually came for their Sky Pirates.

This is obviously not a good thing, especially when Ye Mu is in a weak state at the moment.

But instead of being afraid, Ye Mu asked Anilu to take the initiative to invite the guy over after learning about this.

This made everyone nervous.

"Of course it does matter, but now that we have been found by him, it will not be that easy to escape."

"Escape!?"

These two words in Ye Mu's words attracted the attention of everyone present.

Eric, who was taking care of his sister, didn't know Ye Mu's style in the past, but both Tiger and Freya knew that their captain Ye Mu was a brave guy, even when he was confronting Admiral Sengoku. At that time, I didn’t say such dejected words to run away, but now...

"Is that guy really that powerful?"

"Ah."

Ye Mu nodded. Although in the theater version, Douglas Barrett still could not avoid the fate of being beaten by the protagonist, but it was a defeat with one enemy against a hundred queens.

In that battle, Douglas Barrett's opponents included the Shichibukai, the Navy, the Revolutionary Army, and the Pirates, in addition to the Straw Hat Pirates and the eleven-man Supernova, which had greatly increased in strength two years later.

Even if the fate of defeat is inevitable in the end, the fact that a person's power can reach that level of power is enough to show how terrifying he is.

Now, although Douglas Barrett's strength is not as ridiculous as it would be twenty years later, current news reports have described him as being on a par with One Piece's vice-captain Pluto Rayleigh. .

How could such a guy not make people tremble with fear...

"But this makes it more exciting, isn't it..."
