Chapter 316

Why is a man dressed as a clown so strong? His tall figure is like a god in the eyes of Kozuki Momonosuke, more majestic than his father Kozuki Oden, and the innate aura of looking down on the world makes the boy feel submissive.

The clown loosened his hand holding the boy's neck, and Kozuki Momonosuke fell down, but his hostility towards him had completely dissipated, "This is all arranged by fate, and I have found another piece of the puzzle about the world."

The clown had an extremely happy expression on his face after getting two things he wanted at the same time. The domineering aura in his body was not restrained at this moment, and it burst out violently, which was stronger than the aura just now.

The domineering aura derived from the belief in the heart, as the master's state of mind grows, also becomes stronger and fiercer at the same time. Regarding the changes in the clown, not only Kozuki Momonosuke noticed it, but even Douglas Barrett was not comfortable under this domineering aura.

The man who was crowned as the heir of the devil was forced to retreat again and again by a younger junior in today's momentum competition. This was something Douglas Barrett had never imagined. A dead heart that looked down on others once again revived the desire to fight. No one had given him this feeling since Roger's death, not even Edward Newgate, the white-bearded man.

The clown looked down at the boy with an arrogant look, and then said: "I thought the Kozuki clan had died out. I was in the same boat with Kozuki Oden. Although I look down on your father, I won't kill the son of an old friend."

When Momonosuke Kozuki heard that his life was saved, he immediately gave up his dignity and kowtowed to thank him. Unlike his father, this child is flexible and can survive without being a hero. Moreover, he doesn't even have the capital to be a hero now, let alone restore the rule of Wano Country by himself.

Barrett shifted his perspective to look at the kid next to Buggy, but he didn't know Kozuki Oden. When he got off the ship, the samurai hadn't boarded the ship yet, so he couldn't say he had any friendship with Kozuki Oden.

"Is the Kozuki clan so powerful? Why didn't I see anyone with this surname when I was on Roger's ship?"

Then, under the eye signal of Buggy the Clown, Kozuki Momonosuke mustered up the courage to explain to Douglas Barrett in detail the relationship between his father Kozuki Oden and the Pirate King Roger, emphasizing the importance of the Kozuki Samurai on the ship. If the general of Wano Country had not followed the ship to the last battle, Gol D. Roger would never have conquered the Grand Line in his life, and he would not even be able to touch the shadow of the final island, Raftel.

Kozuki Oden and Douglas Barrett are both battle maniacs, and both were defeated by Gol D. Roger, but the former was defeated, and the latter heard that Roger had an incurable disease, so he fought a final duel and was defeated again, and left in disgrace without participating in the journey to conquer the last island.

Perhaps it was fate that brought three people related to Pirate King Roger together at the same time and place in such a scene. This was the result that Buggy the Clown wanted to encounter the most. God still favored him very much.

Since everyone knew each other, there was no need to continue to fight. Now they needed a lively occasion to speak their minds. Buggy the Clown wanted to get something from each of these two people. It was not a gentleman's thing to rob and rob. He was arrogant and hoped that the weak would obediently offer the things.

Then Buggy the Clown took out a Den Den Mushi from his pocket and contacted the people of his own pirate group nearby, asking them to drive the ship over quickly so that they could hold a party to welcome old friends. Pirates who don't like to hold parties are not good pirates.

Originally, Douglas Barrett should have enjoyed this treatment first, but this prisoner who had just been out of prison was not very clear-headed. He didn't appreciate it and didn't give Buggy the Clown face. There was nothing to say about the two of them. Let's see the truth directly. Only the winner can possess everything of the other party.

Barrett is known as the heir of the devil for a reason. When he was young and boarded Roger's pirate ship, he was able to fight Pluto Rayleigh at the age of less than 20. No one on the ship except the captain was his opponent, which was also his capital of arrogance.

At that time, the red-nosed clown Buggy and the red-haired Shanks were just trainee crew members, and they were completely incomparable to Douglas Barrett. Who knew that many years later, not long after he was released from prison, the man knew that these two people turned over a new leaf. One became the Seven Warlords of the Sea and an ally of the Navy, and the other became the Emperor of the Sea and had the title of the Four Emperors..

But when the fight really started, Barrett completely underestimated Buggy the Clown's strength. The two were at the same level in terms of Armament Haki and Observation Haki, but in terms of Domineering Haki and fruit ability development, they were not at the same starting line. Buggy the Clown crushed him unilaterally throughout the whole process.

Douglas Barrett first used Domineering Haki to entangle, and then activated the Devil Fruit awakening in his body. Coupled with his well-trained physical fitness, these last three trump cards were all played, but the opponent could easily deal with every step, like an adult playing with a child, leaving the prisoner with no hope of victory.

Buggy the Clown also knew the Domineering Haki entanglement technique. As for forming a big monster through the combined fruit, Douglas Barrett was simply wasting his energy. Buggy the Clown also used the Devil Fruit awakening to cut the 100-meter black-skinned monster directly into countless small pieces from the front.

As for Barrett's use of Armament Haki to defend his body against the power of the Devil Fruit, he wanted to defeat his opponent in melee combat with his extraordinary physical fitness, but who would have thought that Buggy the Clown would advance the Devil Fruit to the second level? It can only be said that the times have changed.

The release of the Devil Fruit directly split the Armament Haki on Barrett's body. Even the Haki can be split, let alone the flesh and blood body. It directly dealt a heavy blow to Barrett at the cellular level. If he didn't want to save his life, his parts would not be as intact as they are now.

As Buggy the Clown expected, Douglas Barrett is indeed a cheap skin. As long as he is beaten with stronger violence, he will admire this strong man from the bottom of his heart and set a goal for himself to surpass in his heart.

Of course he would not refuse the invitation to the banquet. Not only did he want to eat and drink on the other party's pirate ship, but Barrett also wanted to join the Joker Pirates. This time, his purpose was the same as last time. He wanted to continue to challenge and eventually strengthen his strength little by little and become the master by defeating the captain. However, this time, the target of the challenge was replaced by Buggy the Clown instead of Gol D. Roger.

It is not shameful for the loser to humbly ask for advice from the winner, even if the former is younger than the latter. Barrett just wants to continue to become stronger and surpass himself in the challenge, so he will not care about his face.
