Chapter 159 Old routine
Gel turned around and saw a hint of envy in Barrett's eyes, so he smiled and asked:
"Do you want it too?"
"Humph!"
Barrett snorted arrogantly and refused to ask for charity from his enemy.
Gel found his look a little funny and was not prepared to negotiate with a pair of pants. Although there had been successful cases of using a pair of underwear to threaten others to get on the ship, how could a real sea man like Barrett be afraid of being naked?
"Okay, stop being stubborn and put them on first, or DD will catch a cold."
Gel threw the same pair of shorts over with a wicked smile on his face.
"Humph! Get out of here right now and don't interfere with our fight. We haven't decided the winner yet, and I haven't lost yet!"
Gel didn't expect that Barrett was so shameless. He put on the shorts as soon as he took them. He was a typical dishonest person. He didn't even say thank you and started blaming himself.
"Hey, Barrett! Come on board my ship and become our partner!"
Gel did not hide his intention but stated it directly.
Barrett was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting the other party to suddenly make such an invitation.
After a while, he came back to his senses and said excitedly:
"What a joke! What nonsense are you talking about! We are enemies now, no! Besides, companions are meant to be betrayed, and such boring things will only affect my ability to improve! I want to be the strongest man in the world, I don't need companions. Anyway, there is no way I will join you!"
"Well, don't get so excited. If you just want to be a lone ranger and don't want companions, then why did you board Roger's pirate ship in the first place?"
Ger asked, pretending to be curious.
"Haha! I joined the Roger Pirates only to challenge Roger and defeat Roger! I didn't consider them as companions!"
Barrett said this with his chin raised proudly, looking as if he had successfully defeated Roger.
Gel looked at him with disdain and said slowly:
"Didn't you say that the strong don't need companions, and that only those without ties can become the strongest? Then why can't you beat Roger, who has many companions and values them very much? Even after being defeated, you chose to stay on his ship to study why a "person with companions" you despise is stronger than you? Aren't you contradicting yourself?"
"That's..because..."
Barrett frowned. He didn't know how to answer. This was the question that he hadn't figured out in his mind. But he heard Gel continue his words and said directly and mercilessly:
"That's because you know in your heart that it's impossible for anyone to survive alone in this ocean! It's just because of some bad experiences in your childhood that you don't dare to trust others easily. In fact, you also want to be as strong as Roger and have a group of trustworthy partners! You refuse to believe that the ideas you have always believed in are wrong. You are just a coward who dares not even admit your mistakes!"
Barrett's pupils trembled when he heard this, and he clenched his fists tightly.
"Wha...what!"
Gel raised his chin proudly. You know, it was because of this line of words that the Straw Hat Boy made Barrett's heart waver and lose the battle at the critical moment. Now that he has used this big move, wouldn't he be immediately moved: chopping off the chicken head, burning yellow paper, and forcing him to become sworn brothers with him?
"Shut up! What are you talking about, you self-righteous bastard!!"
Unexpectedly, the scene that Gel had imagined did not happen. The angry Barrett went berserk and jumped up to punch Gel in the head.
Fortunately, with his stinky brother by his side, Captain Gel retreated a dozen steps without panicking, and Weevil immediately stepped forward to block Barrett's angry fist.
What are you doing?
The rebellious boy gets angry when his secret is told?
Geer's face was full of dissatisfaction.
Why the hell did you get lost in memories when the Son of the Sun shouted this, and you were so moved that you fell to the ground with a beating, and when I shouted this, you wanted to jump up and smash my head? My halo is not worthy of lowering your intelligence?
"Alas! I originally wanted to talk to you properly, but now it seems that you don't have enough experience. Do you really want to spend twenty years in prison? If you spend one year less, you won't be able to understand what I say, right? Then I can only use my fists to teach you a lesson!"
Captain Gul forced himself to find a reasonable excuse for his embarrassment. He put his hands behind his back, like an old man who saw his descendants were useless. He shook his head in sorrow and muttered to himself.
Barrett didn't know why, but he found that he couldn't remain calm whenever he saw the expression on Gel's face. He felt a fear of being completely seen through and having no privacy, and he also had the illusion that he was being treated as a child and being pitied and sympathized by the other party. This feeling made every cell in his body uncomfortable.
"Asshole, are you trying to influence me on purpose? Seeing that you can't beat me fair and square, are you resorting to such despicable means? If you have the guts, come at me too, don't just hide behind and humiliate me with words! I don't need you to fight me in a fair one-on-one."
Gel ignored his rage and continued:
"Hey! Barrett! Do you dare to make a bet with me? If you win, I will let you slaughter me! I will never resist!"
Barrett had no intention of responding to the first half of the sentence, but the second half was so attractive that he couldn't help but ask out of curiosity:
"What kind of bet is this?!"
When you are curious about a man is often the most dangerous time.
Gel secretly revealed a smile of success, but he felt helpless in his heart. He wanted to persuade him through preaching, but he didn't expect that in the end he would have to rely on this face to mock and attract hatred. Being a captain is really not that easy. For the sake of the team, personal sacrifice is really great!
"This bet is very simple. You don't dodge, but take my attack head-on! It only takes one attack. If you can take it, you win. If you can't take it or you dodge, you lose. If you win, you can do whatever you want with my life. If you lose, your life belongs to me. From now on, you must obey my orders!"
Gel looked at him with his nose down and pretended to be arrogant and continued to provoke him:
"It's simple and clear, and it's fair to all. You've got a great advantage. If I lose, you'll definitely kill me, but if you lose, I can guarantee in advance that I won't kill you. I just want you to obey my orders in the future, and you'll still have food, drink, and fights every day. You might even live a hundred times more comfortably than you do now. With these conditions, if I were you, I'd want to just play a fake match, admit defeat, and be kept by someone to enjoy the good life. What do you think? Do you dare?"
Barrett hesitated a little, and Gel continued to press forward!
