Chapter 27 Congratulations, Your Majesty Shichibukai-sama

"What did you say!?"

Barrett's eyes were fixed on Darren, a little unbelievable. He clearly didn't expect that Darren's evaluation of him would reach such a high level!

Unbelievable, at the same time, he straightened his chest subconsciously, and his eyes burst out with blazing light like flames.

Barrett's subconscious actions and reactions made Darren chuckle inwardly.

Barrett is still quite young now, not much older than Doflamingo. Although his physical development is different from ordinary people and his body is strong and burly, to put it bluntly, his mental age is just that of a brat.

Not to mention the tone of the pirate world... Who can listen to these reckless men on this sea!

The most important thing is that these words come from the mouth of Darren, a strong man who has put an end to countless legendary pirates!

Endorsement from Darren!

How high the gold content is!

At this moment, Barrett felt that his whole body was full of power, and even his body couldn't help but tremble slightly with excitement.

"Is not it?"

Darren kept a serious look on his face.

"How old are you, Barrett?"

"Sixteen years old? Seventeen years old? At your age, your strength has reached such a level that you can be a gold medal player on par with Kaido, Whitebeard and the others!"

"If you are given a few more years to grow, who in this ocean can dare to say that they can defeat you?"

Hearing Darren's words, Barrett froze as if he was struck by lightning.

yes!

How old are you!

There is still a long way to go in the future. As long as you give yourself a certain amount of time to grow, no one in this sea can be your opponent!

Darren's words were like thunder exploding in Barrett's heart, dispelling the depression caused by the tragic defeat at Darren's hands, and at the same time cheering him up again, his eyes bursting with endless light.

"But if you are imprisoned in the Impel Down City, all of this will be gone from you."

Darren suddenly changed the topic and his tone became mocking.

"Think about it carefully. You can't beat me now. Even if you are imprisoned in Impel Down City for a few years, the gap between you and me will only get wider and wider."

"You will never have the chance to challenge the throne of "No. 1 in the world", let alone compete for the sea."

"Maybe by then, you won't even be able to beat that guy Crocodile..."

"--enough!!"

Barrett suddenly shouted loudly, interrupting Darren's words with red eyes.

"Shut up, Darren!!"

As if he couldn't accept the scene Darren described for him, he gasped for air and struggled fiercely, making the cold sea-floor stone shackles rattle.

His mood was ups and downs, as if he had set off a huge storm.

The first second Darren raised him to the top, but the next sentence directly knocked him to the bottom.

With Barrett's competitive personality, how could he possibly accept it! ?

Seeing Barrett's reaction, Darren smiled with satisfaction.

The fish has taken the bait.

For a proud brat like Barrett, death is not the most terrifying thing.

What's more terrifying than killing them is not being able to fulfill his lifelong dream, and watching helplessly as his opponents who were weaker than him in the past overtake him.

"Shut up? That's impossible, Barrett... This is the winner's punishment for the loser."

Darren smiled and said:

"But if it were another person, I really wouldn't waste my breath."

"I don't want to lose such a powerful opponent like you."

"So, become a member of the King's Shichibukai."

"As long as you agree to become King Shichibukai, you will regain your freedom. This will not have any impact on you."

"You can continue to challenge more strong people to realize your dreams."

"The most important thing is, don't you want to know how I became stronger? I will tell you this secret."

"You will become stronger and stronger, crushing all opponents with absolute strength, and even challenge Roger again!"

The Vice Admiral's chuckled voice slowly echoed in the gloomy cabin prison, like the devil's whispers, carrying some inexplicable inciting power.

Barrett gritted his teeth and was obviously troubled.

He was shaken.

Darren smiled even deeper and added:

"You don't have to worry about what restrictions you will be subject to after becoming King Shichibukai. I can assure you that except for emergency summons when necessary, the Navy does not have any power to mobilize King Shichibukai for combat."

"Besides, once you become King Shichibukai, you and I will be allies to a certain extent."

He delivered the fatal killing blow.

"When the time comes, you can come and fight with me at any time."

silence.

A deathly silence fell.

Barrett suddenly stopped breathing, lowered his head, and let his long golden hair cover his face.

Darren was not in a hurry, he just smoked quietly and waited patiently.

A full minute,

"So, what's the secret to your becoming stronger?"

Barrett raised his head and asked hoarsely.

Darren smiled with satisfaction.

…

Warship deck.

Porusalino was still lying on the beach chair leisurely basking in the sun. The three lieutenant generals of the headquarters were faithfully performing their duties and observing the situation on the surrounding sea from time to time.

Suddenly, the three lieutenant generals seemed to sense something, and their expressions suddenly looked like they were facing a powerful enemy.

"alert!"

They drew their sabers in unison and stared at the hatch.

The other navies on the ship also reacted immediately, drawing out their weapons one after another, and aimed countless guns at the exit of the cabin at the same time, with extremely vigilant expressions.

boom! !

The wooden door of the cabin was smashed open and shattered into pieces.

A burly figure with a strong aura walked out of the darkness, twisted his neck, walked over and sat down directly next to Porusalino, ignoring the hostile gazes and muzzles of the surrounding navy.

"Relax a little. The person in front of you now is our navy's ally... Lord Douglas Barrett."

Darren walked out of the cabin slowly, smiling relaxedly.

The recruitment was successful! ?

The three lieutenant generals of the headquarters glanced at Barrett, who was sitting there eating meat and drinking wine, looked at each other, and then retreated with the navy soldiers.

Soon after he was full of wine and food, Barrett burped and lit a cigar without ceremony.

"So this is okay?"

He glanced at Darren.

Darren shrugged and smiled:

"What you do next is your freedom."

"...Just don't let others kill you easily, otherwise all my time and energy will be wasted."

"cut!"

Barrett sneered and said with fighting spirit:

"I won't lose again until I kill you, Darren!!"

"I say this, do you agree!?"

The bold words even inspired Barrett's domineering aura, causing a biting wind to blow up in the surrounding void.

Darren lit another cigar and smiled:
