Barrett, who had just quickly turned over and stood up, subconsciously froze when he heard what Garp said, and his pupils trembled.
"You were betrayed by adults when you were a child, and you were betrayed by friends when you grew up. Now even Roger, the first to truly accept you and the first to defeat you, is gone. You have lost your goal in fighting, and you have lost your direction in life...
....”
"I feel very lonely and confused."
Garp made no move to pursue him, but stood there pitying the child in front of him who was on the point of no return.
It was clear that Barrett once longed for honor, valued his partners, and even had a goal in life after meeting Roger. However, he was ruthlessly destroyed by reality time and time again, forcing him to become what he is now.
A man who only believes in himself, lives only for himself, and is willing to face everything alone.
Now Barrett is a confused monster!
"Ahem, you...you..."
Barrett was shaking all over and was completely stunned. He didn't even bother to wipe the blood he coughed up from his mouth.
He just felt that every word Garp said was harder, heavier, and more painful than the punch just now, and almost every sentence was a punch to his heart.
This is a feeling of something buried deepest being dug out and exposed in front of your eyes.
"Shut up!!!"
Barrett roared hysterically at Garp, and at the same time, he went berserk again, all the power in his body rushed out like a tsunami, and he rushed over with all his strength.
"You know, kid, I really hope that you can meet someone who can accept you positively again."
"But now, you need to calm down first!"
Following Garp's heartfelt words, fists one large and one small, but equally dark and hard, each packed with domineering and power compressed to the extreme, collided head-on in mid-air.
【boom------】
The blue-black air wave and the pure black air wave squeezed each other in the field, but when the pure black air wave pressed over the other side like a mountain, a ball of extremely dazzling light suddenly exploded.
This time, the ground under my feet could no longer hold on. The entire land was pushed hard by high pressure, and it was completely lifted like a wave. Whether it was buildings or corpses, even tree roots were rising from the ground in the wind and waves, and they fell heavily.
In the vast ocean in the distance.
...
Two days later, a call from a telephone bug rang in the deepest part of the Pongol Castle in Mariegioa.
"Lord Im, Douglas Barrett has been personally defeated by Garp and imprisoned into the 'infinite hell' of Impel Down City."
After hearing this, Im was not surprised and calmly replied: "Yes, then just do as you were told before."
"Yes, I will obey your oracle!"
Putting the microphone back on the phone bug's back, Im asked the image phone bug on the other side to connect to the surveillance system of Impel Down City.
Soon, a high-definition virtual image appeared in the void in front of him. The image inside was of Barrett, whose hands and feet were chained, lying on his back on the cold ground. At this time, he was wearing a black and white prison uniform, but his nose was bruised and his face was not bruised.
No image at all.
"This guy is a good prospect."
Im's eyes were also full of talent, but he also knew that the other person's personality was too extreme. If he didn't train him properly, it would be really difficult to use him well, and he would hurt himself if he was not careful.
But fortunately, I am a time traveler and I have some understanding of Barrett's thoughts. In addition, my strength and power are strong enough, so there is no harm in trying to use this peerless double-edged sword.
It's just similar to the Golden Lion Shiji. It definitely can't be used directly at the moment. He must be imprisoned for at least two years to temper his temper. No matter how good a good sword is, it must be made obedient.
At this moment, Barrett in the high-definition projection suddenly spoke.
"who?"
Although he couldn't see the person outside the cell when he was lying on the ground, the presence of Jian Wen Se Haki could still sense the other person's aura, and the aura was very strong.
"I am here on behalf of the Celestial Dragons and the World Government. As for the name, you don't need to know it."
"Huh, Draco? Are those garbage men? They are such pathetic guys." Barrett looked at the dark ceiling and sneered.
But the black shadow outside the cell showed no intention to refute or angrily accuse him, which surprised him.
"The big shot above asked me to ask you, are you willing?"
Barrett frowned and said nothing, dealing with the other party with silence. The dark figure did not pay attention to his attitude and continued to speak.
"You lost the battle to Roger. Roger is dead and there is no possibility of surpassing him. This time you lost the battle to Garp, but he is still alive. You are willing to waste your time in the depths of the sea where the sun never shines.
Are you wasting your talents all the time?"
Barrett's face showed anger. How could he be willing to accept it? How could he be willing to accept it!
"Why, what do you mean, do the Tianlong people want to let me out and then become their dog?"
"Do you still remember your ambition?" Black Shadow asked.
The strongest in the world!
These four characters immediately appeared in Barrett's mind.
“The world government is the supreme power holder on this planet.”
"This place has the best training resources and the largest number of top experts. Don't you want to challenge the admiral yourself, or fight Garp again in the future?"
"This place can even give you the greatest war, so that you will never lack battles. The most important thing is that these are all legal."
"For you, isn't this the best shortcut to becoming the strongest in the world?"
Every word spoken by the black shadow echoed in the cell, and Barrett's pupils swayed subconsciously.
Because he thought it sounded reasonable.
It's just that he has developed a habit of no longer trusting anyone and is only willing to fight alone. It is difficult for him to convince himself to join the World Government and obey the orders of the Celestial Dragons.
"You're hesitating."
"And what you struggle with is that you have to take orders from the Celestial Dragons that you despise, right?"
Barrett continued to remain silent, or he was acquiescing.
"Then what if I tell you that you only need to obey the orders of one person, the one who is truly the strongest man in the world?"
"What, the real strongest in the world!" Barrett was shocked.
"Don't be ridiculous, how could the World Government have such a person? Since Roger's death, the only man in the sea who is qualified to compete for the title of the strongest in the world is the white beard with strange power!"
"Haha, then let me tell you, neither the white beard you are talking about, nor Garp who just defeated you, nor even Roger before is a match for that gentleman, and is far inferior to him. What do you think, are you interested in seeing me?
For a moment?”
The shadow laughed.
"This is impossible!" Barrett, lying on the ground, said through gritted teeth.
"Is it possible? You can see it with your own eyes, but only if you come out of here."
"good!"
"I agreed, let me out. If such a person really exists, I am willing to join the World Government!"
"That's good, but you can't come out yet, because you don't understand the value of freedom now, let alone cherish it all. Let's experience the feeling of living like a year. I will come again in about a year or two.
....”
Silence returned to the cell again, but Barrett's rough breathing persisted for a long time, and his bloodshot eyes were full of unwillingness and anger.
Outside, the shadow just turned around, and a person in a black suit walked over, bowing his head respectfully and asking.
"Sir, can you remove the 'soundproof area'?"
"Um."
Looking around, I saw a layer of lavender halo in the air covering Barrett's cell and the space a few meters outside the door.
