Chapter 62 Descendants of the Devil

Walpo's originally happy face suddenly widened with shock.

On the sea, a warship that was fine just now was torn apart by a violent explosion, and flames shot up into the sky. In less than a minute, it completely sank into the sea and disappeared. "What the hell is going on?"

Valpo subconsciously called out the names of his two men, but when no one answered, he remembered that his two men seemed to be on the boat.

Doesn't that mean "Eh!!!"

At this moment, one of the soldiers from the Drum Kingdom who was observing the sea through a telescope shouted in fear. "There is something wrong with the ship. There are people on the sea. What kind of monster is this?"

"You bastard, what are you talking about?"

This incoherent remark made Valpo extremely angry. He ran over, pushed the soldier aside, and moved forward. Instantly, he saw a very strange scene.

On the sea, where the warship had just exploded, a red-skinned monster, half man and half boat, was flying towards the direction of the Drum Kingdom at an incredible speed.

His upper body was a burly man with golden wavy hair down his back, wearing a black military uniform and headphones on his head, but his lower body was a small boat that could only accommodate one person. The two wooden wheels on both sides of the hull were spinning rapidly, providing the boat with incredible power and speed.

Obviously, the one that just destroyed the warship was this half-man, half-ship monster.

"What kind of monster is this?"

Just as Valpo roared in horror, the half-man, half-boat monster seemed to notice this side, and its mouth curled up slightly, revealing a terrifying smile.

Then, purple energy visible to the naked eye separated the people and the boat, and a huge, burly man appeared on the boat.

At this time, a soldier finally recognized the man, but he had no idea at the moment and could only run away.

"It's a monster with a bounty of 1.8 billion berries, the descendant of the devil: Douglas Barrett." "Why would such a monster appear here?"

In an instant, the soldier's voice echoed throughout the garrison.

The soldiers around were stunned at first, but then they reacted and their eyes went blank.

Some of them may not have heard of the name Douglas Barrett, but the bounty of 1.8 billion berries is enough to take away the courage of all soldiers to resist.

Everyone began to subconsciously follow the footsteps of the fleeing soldier, heading outside, shouting in fear as they ran away. Valpo also reacted at this moment.

"One billion and eighty million berries, isn't that more terrifying than the Sky Pirates?"

Valpo immediately took off running, but as soon as he turned around, a huge figure blocked his escape route.

Valpo felt as if he had hit an iron wall and was knocked away.

Valpo did not say what came next.

Because, a huge hand, like a pair of pliers, directly grasped his neck, making him unable to breathe in pain. At the same time, a huge shadow enveloped Walpo.

At this moment, Valpo finally realized that something was wrong.

He raised his head and looked carefully in front of him. In an instant, Valpo's nerves were close to collapse.

The man who appeared in front of Valpo and grabbed his neck tightly was the man he had just seen on the sea, the man named Douglas Barrett.

The man had an excited smile on his face, his eyes glowed red, and he exuded a desperate aura. He grinned and asked Walpo.

"Hey, if I heard you correctly, did you mention the Sky Pirates?"

Valpo didn't even have to think about it and was about to answer, but his neck was trapped and he couldn't make any sound. At this moment, Barrett suddenly laughed even more excitedly.

"really"

With a click, Barrett casually threw the lifeless corpse with its head drooping in his hand aside and turned to look behind him.

"I finally found you, the Sky Pirates."

Enel looked at the man who appeared in front of him like a madman and gave him even more pressure than that of the yellow monkey. He frowned and spoke.

"Come with me, my captain is waiting for you"

"Is it really okay?!"

In the castle of Magnetic Drum Mountain, Freya asked nervously to Xiao Yan , who was lying on the bed and stuffing food into his mouth . The operation was over long ago, and Xiao Yan and Tiger began to recover quickly by eating. Everything seemed to be going well.

But just a few minutes ago, Enilu suddenly appeared and told everyone a shocking news. An acquaintance of Xiao Yan and Enilu appeared in the sea near the Drum Kingdom.

Through the subsequent conversation between Xiao Yan and Enelu, everyone knew who this "acquaintance" was.

, who was once a member of Roger's pirate group, nicknamed "Devil's Heir" and was called the successor of "Ghost", has a bounty that is twice that of Xiao Yan : 1.8 billion berries. His strength is terrifying and he is like a monster.

Moreover, through Enelu's monitoring, this guy actually came for their Sky Pirates. This was obviously not a good thing, especially when Xiao Yan was in a weak state at the moment.

But Xiao Yan was not afraid at all. After learning about this, he asked Enilu to take the initiative to invite that guy over. This made everyone nervous.

"Of course it is related. However, since he has found us, it will not be easy for us to escape." "Escape!?"

Xiao Yan's words attracted the attention of everyone present.

Eric, who was taking care of his sister, didn't know Xiao Yan 's style in the past, but Tiger and Freya knew that their captain Xiao Yan was a very courageous guy. Even when he was confronting Admiral Zhan Guo, he didn't say such dejected words of running away. But now

"Is that guy really that powerful?" "Yeah."

Xiao Yan nodded. Although in the theatrical version, Douglas Barrett still couldn't escape the fate of being beaten up by the protagonist, that was a defeat after fighting one against a hundred.

In that battle, Douglas Barrett's opponents included the Straw Hat Pirates, whose strength had greatly increased two years later, and the eleven supernovas, as well as the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Navy, the Revolutionary Army, and pirates.

Even if he still cannot avoid the fate of defeat in the end, the fact that a person's strength can reach that level is enough to show how terrifying he is.

Now, although Douglas Barrett's strength is not as outrageous as it will be twenty years later, current news reports have described him as someone who can fight on equal terms with One Piece's vice-captain Pluto Rayleigh.

How could such a guy not make people tremble with fear? "But, this makes it more exciting, doesn't it?"
