Pirate collector, obtains the Conqueror's Haki talent at the beginning

The sun was shining brightly, and the sky was full of fog.

On the island under the scorching sun.

The strong wind blew up the yellow sand, covering the sky.

Crocodile stood on the top of the sand dune, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, overlooking the desert in front of him.

In the distance, a figure gradually became clear and gradually approached.

The man was tall and strong, with eyes as sharp as an eagle, Douglas Barrett.

"Haha, Barrett, I want to see if you, the so-called 'heir of the ghost', can survive in my sand."

Crocodile sneered, waved his right hand, and the sand gathered at his fingertips to form a sand wave, "Desert Sword!"

In an instant, the sand wave turned into a huge sword and slashed towards Barrett swiftly.

Barrett was not in a hurry, crossing his hands in front of his chest, and his muscles suddenly swelled.

"Devil form!"

By integrating his own domineering aura into his body, his speed and strength were greatly improved, just like "the devil from hell".

The pitch-black giant fist blasted out.

Meeting the sand knife, the strong airflow collided together, and a violent shock wave broke out.

The sand sword collapsed and turned into countless sand grains, flying around.

Barrett raised the corner of his mouth and sneered: "That's all?"

Crocodile snorted coldly, his figure flashed, and he instantly appeared behind Barrett, and the sand and dust swirled around him, "Desert Diamond Sword!"

Crocodile's hands instantly turned into four huge sand blades, attacking Barrett like lightning.

Barrett felt the threat behind him, turned around suddenly, and his fists burst out with powerful force to meet the attack.

The fists with armed color domineering aura instantly shattered the sand blades.

The fists of the two men collided in the air, making a dull roar, and the air was filled with sparks and dust.

A powerful shock wave spread around them.

"Desert Sunflower!"

After jumping away, Crocodile attacked again, controlling the flow of the sand dunes, and quickly flowed towards Barrett, intending to swallow him alive.

Barrett was covered with domineering aura, and rushed into the sand dunes without showing any weakness, "Devil·Crazy Fist!"

His fists swung out like a storm, and each punch brought a strong airflow, breaking up Crocodile's sand dunes.

Crocodile retreated quickly, and after reaching a certain position, he threw out a small sandstorm, "Sand Storm".

The surrounding sand was gathered crazily, and a sandstorm took shape. The sandstorm became bigger and bigger, attacking Barrett.

Barrett shouted and punched the ground, "Devil·Heavy Hammer!"

A strong shock wave spread from under Barrett's feet, shattering the sandstorm.

"You're more difficult than I thought."

A trace of fear flashed in Crocodile's eyes.

"Aren't you going to use your fusion fruit yet?"

Barrett moved his shoulders and smiled, "I just warmed up!"

"Bold!"

The two rushed towards each other again, punching and kicking, and the fierce battle was in full swing.

Crocodile's sand flew in the air, constantly changing its form, attacking Barrett, and Barrett relied on his unparalleled strength and speed to counterattack Crocodile's attacks again and again.

"Shalon!" Crocodile clasped his hands together, and a huge shalon tornado was generated between the two, violently rolling towards Barrett.

Barrett remained calm, stomped his feet on the ground, raised his fists above his head, and rushed out like a cannonball, "Devil·Impact!"

Barrett's fist directly penetrated the shalon tornado and went straight to Crocodile's chest.

Crocodile dodged Barrett's fatal blow, but a large cut was still made on his body, and blood stained the sand red.

"Damn it, you've completely pissed me off! Barrett!" Crocodile licked the blood on his lips and waved his hands, "Erosion Samsara!"

The ground suddenly collapsed, forming a huge sand pit. Barrett stomped on the sand and tried to jump out of the sand pit, but the sand was like a living thing, tightly wrapped around his feet.

"Domineering Haki!"

Barrett roared, and his muscles burst out with amazing power, and the domineering Haki gushed out of his body.

A black and red sound wave ripped out, shaking the sand wrapped around his body into pieces, and then hit Crocodile directly.

"Puff——"

Crocodile spit out a mouthful of blood, no longer able to support his body, and fell on his back on the ground.

"Guhahaha."

"I didn't expect you to be so strong. I heard you lost your target. Guha ...."

"I didn't expect you to be so strong. I heard you lost your target. Gu

Not enough, I have to become stronger. "

"With that kid's talent, he will soon catch up with me! Ten years of war, I am really nervous and looking forward to it! Kahahaha"

Barrett found a place to sit next to Crocodile.

"Roger? Or Whitebeard?"

"Neither, that is a real monster!"

"A new monster has been born? !"

"Well, he will definitely set off a huge wave in the future."

"Who is it?"

"You will naturally meet him in the future. When you are shocked by his talent and your jaw is dragging on the ground, there is no doubt that it is him."

"Stronger than your talent?"

"A hundred times stronger."

"Impossible, have you been deceived, Barrett?"

"Seeing is believing Crocodile, I am looking forward to your expression when you see him that day, I really want to take a picture of you at that time. "

Barrett patted Crocodile's shoulder, imagining the scene when he saw Yi Chen's talent in person, his eyes bulged, snot flew, and his chin dragged on the ground.

"Kahahaha, so interesting!"

"Crocodile, do you want to get on my boat? You're good."

"Hehe..."

Crocodile showed an expression of unwillingness to surrender on his face.

"Forget it, let that kid find you later. I'm really not good at verbal disputes. "

Although he was confident in his own strength, at the moment of the collision of the Conqueror's Haki.

Barrett had already sensed that it was only a matter of time before he lost.

The outcome of the battle ten years later was unpredictable, but as time went on, the probability of his defeat would increase.

If that kid's talent had no upper limit, the worst case scenario was that he would be crushed one day.

Therefore, since he was still young, he might as well trust his partner again.

Since he had the strength to crush him, why did he betray him?

All the premises were based on being stronger than himself.

Barrett clenched his fists and thought about where he would go to become stronger next.

Should I go to the Navy Headquarters and make a scene?

Forget it, that kid must be there. What if he misunderstood me and started a duel in advance?

Looking down at the sand crocodile who was still vomiting blood, his eyes lit up.

"Old Sand, where are you going later?"

"? ? ? "

"What do you want to do? Give up, I won't go with you. ”

“It’s just on the way, let’s go.”

Barrett picked up the sand crocodile and put it on his shoulder.

“I’m on your way!”

“Where are we going?”

“Looking for Whitebeard.”

“Not bad, a good opponent, let’s go.”

The wind and sand dispersed, the sun shone into the island, and only the sound of waves witnessed the fierce battle just now.

In this way, the future king of the desert got on the pirate ship in a daze.

…

Marinford.

“Roger’s monitoring ship has lost contact for a day.”

“Whitebeard’s monitoring ship has been attacked!”

“Contact confirmed!”

“Marshal, Roger and Whitebeard have made contact!”

The gears of history began to turn, Kozuki Oden boarded Roger’s ship, and Roger was only one step away from the final island.
