The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

When a person is unlucky, even drinking cold water will get stuck in his teeth. Kozuki Momonosuke had finally boarded a naval supply ship, but who could have thought that he would accidentally enter the scene of a duel between two powerful men. The entire fleet was cut apart by external forces, and the defeated side fell into the ruins of the ship.

The defeated warrior in the sky camera stood up from the ruins with difficulty. He was a tall monster with a scar on his left shoulder that spread across half of his body. The man's originally long light golden hair was cut into a short flat top by his opponent. His ears were still bleeding. The life-and-death battle with an old acquaintance had caused him to be seriously injured.

"I really should give you the title of Devil's Heir. Did Roger know you were so powerful when he was alive?"

Character Notes: Former One Piece crew member - Douglas Barrett, a user of the superhuman fusion fruit ability

The boy who was hiding in the trash can and shivering, when he heard someone mention the former Pirate King Roger, his uneasy heart immediately became active. It would be best if he met Roger's friends, but if he met Roger's enemy Kozuki Momonosuke, he didn't know how he would die.

In a duel between strong men, attention is 100% focused, and the Observation Haki in the body is not for decoration. If an outsider wants to eavesdrop on the secret, it is theoretically impossible to do so, unless the person being eavesdropped deliberately indulges himself and wants the intelligence information to be leaked out.

Obviously Douglas Barrett is not such a person. He will not show mercy to the little mouse hiding in the dark and eavesdropping. "I thought there were no living people on the ship, but it turns out there is a lucky person. Don't hide the little mouse."

The terrifying domineering aura swept through the ruins with a devastating momentum. The trash can where Kozuki Momonosuke was hiding was immediately blown down, and he crawled out of the garbage dump in this reluctant state.

The Devil's Heir's Domineering Haki that could kill ordinary soldiers in seconds made Kozuki Momonosuke very uncomfortable in the blue storm, but it did not put the child into a coma. The Domineering Haki in his body took the initiative to fight against this external momentum, leaving his master a chance to breathe and allowing him to have the ability to talk to the strong.

A little mouse that was hiding was not killed on the spot by the Conqueror's Haki in the first place, and the boy's strong performance under the Haki made the big monster Barrett a little surprised. Could it be that this kid has also awakened the Conqueror's Haki? Judging from his appearance, he is less than ten years old. It is true that you cannot judge a person by his appearance.

"He's a good talent, it's a pity that he met me"

Barrett was in no mood to form his own pirate group. After escaping from the underwater prison, he only wanted to ruin this great pirate era. Moreover, a genius who had not yet grown up did not pose any threat at the moment. Killing a child was as easy as crushing an ant.

Kozuki Momonosuke's face was filled with horror. The murderous devil in front of him was as big as his father's murderer Kaido, the Beast King, and gave him the same feeling of being invincible. How could he encounter such a monster at such a vulnerable stage of his life?

The chance of survival when encountering such a strong enemy is zero. Even if the boy is very unwilling in his heart, he still cannot solve the material problems. The weak have no place in the world of the strong. Whether they will get mercy depends on the other party's mood. How can the defeated Douglas Barrett be in a good mood? Even if he kills a child to vent his anger, what's the big deal.

Under the influence of the superhuman fusion fruit, the surrounding hard metal objects gathered around his body and recombined into a big, black and thick weapon. Barrett planned to give this little guy a quick death.

"No...don't...I don't want to die yet"

When Momonosuke Kozuki felt death was approaching, he subconsciously chose to beg the other party, hoping to gain a man's sympathy with his tears and snot. Unfortunately, pretending to be weak did not work on Douglas Barrett, because what this man despised the most was the weak.

Just when Barrett was about to use his ability to deal with the boy, an even more terrifying man suddenly entered the battlefield. Due to the backlight, when Kozuki Momonosuke looked at the third party, he did not see the other party's face clearly at first, but the tremendous momentum exuded by the other party almost merged with the sun behind him.

The domineering aura that was several times stronger than Douglas Barrett's condensed into a powerful giant storm, comparable to a head-on encounter with a force ten gale. Kozuki Momonosuke could only hold onto something solid beside him with his hands and feet to prevent his small body from being blown away by this terrifying momentum.

The reason why there was no cloud in this area was related to the opponent's domineering aura. Ninety-nine percent of it was blown away by the strong wind formed by the momentum. Under this terrifying domineering aura, Barrett felt that the color on his body had lost its color and turned gray. His two legs were struggling to grasp the ground. If he was forced back a step by the enemy in terms of momentum, it would be more painful than killing him in person.

This powerful man who was comparable to a god as soon as he appeared finally spoke, but the person he asked was not Douglas Barrett, "Boy, what is your relationship with Kozuki Oden, or do you have Kozuki's blood?"

Faced with the questions from such an invincible man, Kozuki Momonosuke was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat. He couldn't even lie at the first moment and instinctively told the truth: "He is my father. I am the son of Kozuki Oden and my name is Kozuki Momonosuke."

The boy broke his promise to his retainer and revealed his last name outside the island. When the boy realized that he had let the secret slip and tried to cover it up, the other party had already left him no chance.

The terrifying strong man came in front of him in an instant, grabbed his neck and lifted Kozuki Momonosuke into the air, and the domineering aura in the opponent's body was output directly to his face. Under the crushing momentum of the strong man, the weak would be discovered immediately if he lied, "Kozuki Oden has been dead for so many years. Your age does not match his. I will give you another chance to organize your words."

Kozuki Momonosuke felt his throat being strongly compressed, and life and death were only a thought away. He experienced again the treatment he received in Oden Castle that night. Kaido, the King of Beasts, also tortured a boy in the same posture.

In front of a strong man who can dominate life and death, you cannot tell any lies and can only tell the most secret truth: "I am the only son of Kozuki Oden, and I am also the legitimate heir to Wano Country. My biological mother sent me to the future so that we were able to survive in Wano Country."

When he heard the boy's explanation for the first time, the aura of this strong man was instantly restrained, and the domineering aura that was originally exuded disappeared completely. Instead, he looked at Kozuki Momonosuke with curiosity, as if he had encountered some rare species. The boy felt a little scared by the other party's gaze.

However, he looked at the other person's face clearly. The man had a signature red nose, brightly painted clown makeup on his face, and wore a red suit that matched the makeup. The other person's arrogant spirit was something that Kozuki Momonosuke had only seen in Whitebeard.
