Chapter 16 Barrett goes berserk

"General of the Warring States Period, are you looking for me?"

Without any delay, Darren put on a brand new military uniform and immediately headed to the Marshal's Mansion.

Pushing open the door of the general's office, he saw Sakaski standing there with an indifferent expression.

Sakaski glanced at Darren, quickly withdrew his gaze, looked at Warring States again, and said in a cold tone:

"General of the Warring States Period, I still stand by my judgment."

"I have been responsible for the mission of annihilating Douglas Barrett from the beginning. If Kaido hadn't suddenly intervened last time, he would have been eliminated by me long ago."

"Furthermore, Lieutenant General Darren has just recovered from his serious injury and needs more time to recuperate. This time, the operation against Douglas Barrett should continue to be carried out by me."

Sakaski's tone was quite strong, and he naturally exuded a compelling iron-blooded aura.

When Darren heard this, he immediately understood what was going on.

I guess Sengoku planned to let him deal with Barrett, but Sakaski got the news out of nowhere and came to ask for help.

But he didn't have too many surprises.

Sakaski's character is like this. He has been brooding since Barrett escaped from the last mission.

His strong self-confidence and attitude towards killing all pirates did not allow Barrett to continue jumping around on the sea.

"Sakaski, you should know that I have always trusted your abilities."

Warring States pinched his temples with a headache and frowned.

"But things are different this time."

"That guy Douglas Barrett is provoked by some unknown source and keeps provoking wars in the waters of the New World."

"Especially in the past half month or so, he has frantically started attacking many countries and islands in the New World, which has seriously caused dissatisfaction among various countries."

"His strength became stronger and stronger, and he once conquered several territories belonging to the Whitebeard Pirates."

"Among them, the five pirate groups of the Whitebeard Pirates in the New World were directly beaten away by him."

"After research and judgment by our headquarters' intelligence department, this guy who disembarked from the Roger Pirates has completely gone berserk on the sea."

Sakaski frowned and said coldly:

"So? Warring States General, I don't understand what this has to do with me."

Warring States shook his head and said in a deep voice with an ordering tone:

"In short, this mission is not suitable for you to carry out."

Sakaski clenched his fists.

He gave Sengoku a deep look, then turned and left without saying a word.

With a bang, the office door was slammed shut, making the corners of Zhan Guo's mouth twitch.

"I'm angry..."

Darren said with interest.

Warring States rolled his eyes, looking a little helpless.

Today's young people are really becoming more and more troublesome, each one more difficult to manage than the last. Forget about that bastard boy Porusalino, I don't have much hope for him anyway.

But now Sakaski's performance is getting stronger and stronger, and he often goes against himself.

This made Warring States a little anxious.

That kid Kuzan is quite good, he is full of energy every day, and he works happily after just a few words.

But he was a step too late, and Garp got the better of him first. Damn it!

After all this time, the most pleasing guy is Darren...

Thinking of this, Sengoku looked at the vice-admiral in front of him with much gentler eyes.

He shook his head and said:

"Don't worry about that guy Sakaski for now. He's like a volcano every day. It will explode anytime and anywhere. People who don't know think someone owes him money."

Warring States sighed, looked at Darren, and said with concern:

"How is your boy recovering?"

Darren smiled and said:

"Thank you to General Warring States for your concern. There are basically no health problems."

"Ah That's good."

Sengoku nodded, his expression becoming serious.

"Originally, I planned to let your boy rest for a few more days, but this time Douglas Barrett's rampage disrupted the original plan... There is really no other way, so I summoned you here in such a hurry."

Darren's eyes moved slightly and he smiled:

"It seems that Barrett's rampage this time has something to do with me?"

Sengoku glanced at him with a strange expression, then took out a video phone bug and placed it on his desk.

"See for yourself."

Darren was startled and opened the phone with some confusion.

A flash of white light suddenly shot out from the phone bug, and the picture was projected on the white curtain.

In the turbulent scene, there is a huge steel giant of war, standing across the earth like a solid wall, tearing the land apart with every punch, and towns are directly blown away.

The flames burned and surged. Hundreds of marines evacuated the fleeing civilians while shooting wildly at the giant, but it had no effect at all.

"Hahahaha!! That's how it feels!! Come more people!!"

"Kill you all!!"

Countless artillery fire suddenly shot out from the surface of the war giant's body, instantly flooding the earth like a violent storm and turning into a sea of ​​fire.

In the ruins of the island, war machines trample everything.

Barrett's crazy grin kept coming, as violent as a devil.

"Darren!! You wait for me!!!"

The picture freezes.

Sengoku looked at Darren meaningfully.

Darren:…

"Ahem..."

After several seconds, Darren finally couldn't resist Seng Guo's weird eyes and said with an innocent face:

"This has nothing to do with me!"

Sengoku rolled his eyes.

"I don't blame you, but Barrett's matter must be dealt with as soon as possible."

"The damage he has caused is too great, and countries have publicly expressed their concerns and dissatisfaction."

Darren wondered:

"Then wouldn't it be nice to let Sakaski handle this?"

Warring States glanced at him and suddenly said:

"But the government had other ideas."

Another idea?

Darren pondered for a moment and quickly reacted.

"Your Majesty the Shichibukai?"

Warring States nodded with a complicated expression and sighed:

"Yes, Barrett himself is quite powerful. This time he has made such a big impact. The government believes that if he can be recruited as the king of the Shichibukai at this time, it will greatly improve the government's reputation. "

"The most important thing is that Douglas Barrett was once a crew member of the Roger Pirates, and the government is very interested in the intelligence he holds about the Roger Pirates."

"Information?" Darren narrowed his eyes. He thought of a lot at this moment.

Clues to ancient weapons, the truth about the world...

However, Warring States did not continue to discuss this topic, clearly not wanting to talk about certain taboos.

"Sakaski is not suitable for recruitment tasks. With his character, he will never hold back."

Sengoku tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

"So boy Darren, I'm going to trouble you again this time."

"Although I don't know what the reason is, that guy Barrett seems to have a special obsession with you. If you are asked to send an invitation to the Shichibukai, he will be more likely to agree."

"What if he refuses?" Darren suddenly asked.

"If he refuses..."

Warring States eyes suddenly turned cold, he clenched his fist and said:

"I approve you to launch the demon-slaying order!"
