With the arrival of everyone, the originally spacious and bright room suddenly became quite crowded.
The sofa placed in the room can only seat six or seven people.
At this time, Tezzolo took action.
With just a wave of his hand, golden chairs were created.
Everyone took their seats one after another and looked at Lei Li.
Lei Li didn't expect so many people to come in all at once, and was a little helpless.
"I'll make tea."
Jia Ya stood up and left, adding before leaving: "We'll start again when I come back."
Rayleigh smiled bitterly.
Perona, who had just sat down, thought for a while and ran to help Jia Ya.
After a while, Jaya and Perona brought cups of fragrant black tea.
Everyone took the black tea from their hands and looked at Rayleigh again.
Lei Li was almost ready now and said.
"Let's start with when Barrett started challenging Captain Roger."
"At that time, we undoubtedly recognized Barrett's strength..."
As the soothing and powerful voice sounded, Reilly began to talk about Barrett's past.
Everyone in the room, including Maud, listened quietly to Reilly's statement.
Time passes minute by minute.
From Rayleigh's statement, Mod and everyone else knew about Barrett's past when he was in the Roger Pirates.
Barrett, who joined the Roger Pirates at a young age, soon began to challenge the main forces of the Roger Pirates in turn.
It wasn't until Jabba was able to defeat him that he turned to challenge Roger.
However, Barrett challenged Roger countless times, but all ended in failure.
Even on the day he decided to quit the Roger Pirates three years later and challenged Roger for the last time, he still failed to defeat him.
Barrett, who failed the challenge, left the ship under the watchful eyes of Rayleigh and the crew of the Roger Pirates.
Reilly hasn't seen Barrett since.
But Rayleigh knew very well that this man who joined the Roger Pirates at the age of fifteen and quickly rose to the position of the main crew member within the same year would still be on the road to becoming stronger.
The following years.
Reilly heard a lot about Barrett.
At that time, Roger single-handedly started the era of great pirates.
Barrett, who lost his challenge goal, began to run rampant on the sea.
In the early days of the Great Pirate Age, Barrett turned the entire sea upside down by himself.
But that period was when the navy was eager to curb the era of great pirates.
Barrett's rampage naturally attracted the attention of the Navy.
Beings like this who dance the most happily are often the best targets to scare the monkeys.
According to what Reilly learned.
At that time, Barrett, who was crazy about fighting, attacked a famous pirate alliance alone.
At that time, Barrett was already 22 years old. His strength was different from what it had been in the past. He single-handedly defeated the great pirate alliance, which even the Navy Headquarters had a headache for.
But just when the battle was coming to an end, the demon-slaying fleet dispatched by the navy, including Sengoku and Garp, took advantage of the situation and launched an attack on Barrett.
Barrett, who had just experienced a fierce battle, had no idea of retreating at all. He was still alone and fearlessly faced the Demon-Slaying Order fleet led by Sengoku and Garp.
It was an extremely heroic showdown.
Even though the Demon-Slaying Order fleet included Garp and Sengoku, two top naval powerhouses who were at their peak, as well as the combat power of ten warships, they were unable to defeat Barrett in a head-on duel.
In the end, Barrett was unable to survive alone. The demon-slaying fleet was exhausted by the numerically superior number. In addition, the pirates he had defeated before also launched a surprise attack on him...
This monster that turned the entire sea upside down after Roger's death fell like this.
From beginning to end, this monster-like man never thought about escaping.
Later, Rayleigh saw Barrett again when he was in the Chambord Islands.
"He still hasn't changed at all. He lives alone and only believes in his own strength."
Mentioning the battle that took place on the Shampoo Islands, Rayleigh's eyes were full of solemnity.
It was also that sudden battle that led to him, Thor, and Jabba being caught by the navy and thrown into a deep-sea prison, which led to what happened next.
After listening to Reilly's account of Barrett's past, everyone present looked solemn without exception.
"Although I already know about Barrett's powerful deeds in the past, it's hard to believe... that he defeated Uncle Rayleigh all by himself."
Mod frowned. After Reilly's narration, he had a general understanding of Barrett's strength.
In terms of strength alone, he is probably above the Four Emperors.
Speaking of which, these top experts are all physically monsters.
Reilly looked at Maud, and when he was about to speak, Jabba sitting beside him took over.
"Barrett... knows how to win quickly in battle."
“…”
After hearing Jabba's words, Rayleigh turned to look at Jabba and said nothing.
It was unexpected to meet Barrett in the Shampoo Islands at that time.
And it was also unexpected that Barrett would attack them if they disagreed.
What I didn't expect was that Barrett, who was far more powerful than before, would attack Thor very decisively after the battle started.
After all, he is also a member of the Roger Pirates, and he knows what trouble Thor, as a top sniper, will cause him in battle.
So as Jabba said, Barrett is not only powerful, but also knows how to win the battle as quickly as possible.
His choice to attack Saul first has achieved remarkable results.
Of course, this is also because Thor lost a leg.
His mobility is not as good as before, and he cannot escape Barrett's pursuit, which even affects Rayleigh and Jabba who are eager to protect him.
It can be said-
The battle was over from the moment Barrett chose to attack Thor first.
Even if Garp enters the scene later, it will not help.
After all, Garp, who lost an arm, lost the capital to compete with Barrett in terms of physical skills.
Coupled with the fact that Garp and Rayleigh had no tacit cooperation at all and could not exert the 1+2 effect, and Barrett had the advantage in physical strength and domineering stock, the outcome of this encounter was no longer in doubt. .
In the end, Barrett used his absolute strength to defeat these old men in one fell swoop.
Jabba took over Rayleigh's words and briefly described the general situation of the battle.
In just a few words, Barrett's strength is fully demonstrated.
What is a real monster
Referring to men like Barrett.
If Mod had seen the plot of Barrett's appearance before traveling to the Hunter World, maybe he wouldn't be so surprised.
Not to mention anything else, the fact that Barrett's weaponry can be as large as a tsunami and can completely cover the body of a giant thousands of meters high is the ultimate goal that Mod is pursuing.
Put the weapon color outside, and then cover it on the shadow tide within a range of several thousand meters.
Maud is still far from achieving this.
But Barrett has been able to do it easily.
Mod, who had a clearer understanding of Barrett's strength, had a slightly solemn look in his eyes.
Although Barrett may be even more powerful than the current Yonko, he will not back down.
Because he wants to avenge Thor and send Barrett to hell.
"Daglass Barrett..."
Mod looked at Rayleigh and Jabba and said calmly: "I already understand how powerful he is, but he is only a person after all."
“…”
Rayleigh and Jabba met Maud's gaze and nodded in unison.
No matter it's the past, the present, or even the future.
Barrett is always alone.
More than two decades ago, the Navy overwhelmed Barrett with numerical superiority.
Now more than twenty years later.
If Barrett doesn't learn his lesson, his fate will be the same as it was more than 20 years ago.
"His failure is doomed."
Maud put down his hand, sat up straight, and said: "But... I want to experience his power personally."
"Um?"
Rayleigh and Jabba were shocked when they heard this.
Xia Qi, who was sitting next to Reilly, also looked surprised and asked subconsciously: "Little Maud, you don't want to challenge Barrett to a duel, do you?"
"I want to try."
Maud looked serious.
He had previously tried to fight Kaido and Charlotte Lingling on his own. Although he couldn't see any chance of winning, he could see the possibility in the future.
That possibility, like a target, hung on the top of the mountain he needed to look up to.
He wanted to climb that mountain, and he didn't mind another mountain called Barrett.
Only by crossing these mountains can we truly reach the top.
"It's too random, and you have so many powerful companions, there is no need to take risks."
Xia Qi frowned and couldn't help but try to persuade Maude as an outsider.
In her opinion, today's Barrett, just like her former captain Cross, cannot be defeated alone.
Besides, there are many strong men in the Mord Pirates now. If they join together, even if Barrett is extremely powerful, he will still be defeated.
So she felt that there was no need for Maud to risk a duel with Barrett.
"Aunt Xia."
Mod looked at Xia Qi and said seriously: "It is precisely because I have so many powerful companions that I can make such a decision."
“…”
Xia Qi was speechless.
Everyone sitting around Maude showed a hint of smile.
Yes.
No matter what Mord wants to do, they will become Mord's strongest backing.
"If that guy is really that strong, then I will have to compete with him!"
Cavendish, who was still wrapped with a thick layer of gauze on his body and head, looked eager to try.
The white-horse prince who caught Mod's hegemonic and barrier-breaking strike head-on seemed to have figured out the gap between him and the top powerhouse.
And his current goal is to try to shorten these gaps.
No matter how difficult the journey was, he had to work his way up to where Maude was.
