The warship sailed away from Dressrosa, Slo turned on the rudder, and after looking at the permanent pointer in his hand, headed in the direction of Punk Hassad.
"Douglas, Barrett, is a terrible man!"
"He is also the most powerful guy I have encountered since I went to sea."
Crocodile's voice couldn't help but become deeper as he recalled that battle.
Although he was a natural-type Shasha Fruit user, that man was the most difficult opponent he had ever faced.
In that battle, there was no winner between the two. And for some reason, he became famous because of his battle with Barrett.
"It seems that that battle was unforgettable for you!"
Xia Le smiled.
"If we can conquer him, the strength of our team will undoubtedly increase greatly!"
Crocodile took a puff of his cigar, paused, and then spat again.
“No matter what you want to do in the future, you need stronger people in your hands.”
After integrating those broken memories, he gradually realized that his superior, a rear admiral, must have great ambitions hidden in his heart.
Moreover, after spending time together, I was gradually conquered by the unique aura and powerful power of the other person.
Xia Le is undoubtedly very young, almost the same age as him, but he has already reached the level of the world's top powerhouse.
How far will he go in the future?
This was unimaginable and he could only imagine it with his limited imagination.
"You seem to have some idea of what I want to do?"
Xia Le turned around with interest.
"I can't guess, but I think you won't settle down."
Crocodile blew out a puff of smoke and said with a smile.
"Xiaosha, after merging past memories, you have changed like this."
"It really surprised me!"
Xia Le sighed.
Before he lost his memory, Crocodile was undoubtedly a true pirate, with ideals and cold and cruel methods. But after losing his memory, he became just, gentle, and kind.
Now, the two memories merged to create a new Navy Crocodile.
He has his own insistence on justice in his heart, but he is also full of ambitions for the future. If necessary, he can use drastic measures.
Crocodile like this will undoubtedly save a lot of things for Xia Le.
"But now, you need to fulfill your role as a Marine first."
Staring at each other, Xia Le smiled softly.
Hearing this, Crocodile took a puff of his cigar and nodded slowly.
They arrived at Punk Hassad five days later.
Today's Punk Hassad is very different from the original work. It is a deserted island with lush trees and many wild beasts.
From the faint smoke floating in the center of the island, it can be judged that someone is gathering there.
"Xiao Sha, it should be enough for the two of us to go!"
Xia Le spoke out.
Crocodile nodded.
"After all, the purpose of our trip is not to fight."
Xia Le jumped off the bow of the boat, leaving a series of footprints on the sand, and walked towards the island.
Crocodile followed closely behind.
The two of them entered the forest one after the other, and followed the direction pointed by the smoke. Within a moment, they saw a group of silent pirates with a gloomy aura surrounding a bonfire in the jungle.
The man in the center is tall and strong, sitting there quietly, as heavy as an iron tower. The most frightening thing is his ghost-like eyes.
It is Douglas Barrett, known as the devil's descendant.
Sensing someone approaching, Barrett and others all raised their heads.
When they saw the two of them, everyone was startled, followed by a cold look in their eyes.
"Sha, Crocodile!"
"There are rumors at sea that you have become a navy man, and it seems to be true!"
Someone spoke coldly.
The other crew members all looked at Crocodile, but Barrett. When he saw Xia Le, his pupils suddenly shrank, and then a dangerous light flickered out of his eyes.
Then, the corners of his mouth suddenly opened.
"Finally, I see you again!"
"Xia Le!!!"
Following Barrett's words, a violent, terrifying and domineering aura suddenly rose in the air, causing the void to twist, and the leaves in the surrounding forest to rattle.
Crocodile looked solemn, and this aura made him extremely stressed.
But there is no doubt that there is a clear gap between the overbearing look of Xia Le next to him that he once felt.
In terms of domineering aura and courage, there was a big gap between Barrett and this superior.
At this moment, Barrett's eyes were red. Anger and unwillingness were constantly surging out of his heart at this moment, occupying everything in him instantly, making it impossible for his eyes to see anything except Xia Le.
He could never forget that battle, and it even became a nightmare for this period of time.
Since entering the battlefield, Barrett has never experienced such a tragic defeat! Even when he challenged Roger, he was not so embarrassed.
One punch!
With just one punch, his consciousness fell into coma and he lost any fighting ability.
"Buzz!"
In the void, Barrett's overlord color rippled, filling the surroundings of everyone, turning the background into a purple-blue color, and the air became condensed and suffocating.
"I've been waiting for this moment for a long time!"
"The shame of that battle can finally be washed away today."
His seated body slowly stood up. The corners of Barrett's mouth showed a ferocious arc, and his fists clenched loudly.
"call!"
Crocodile blew out a puff of smoke and his expression became solemn and serious.
There is no doubt that Barrett is a formidable opponent.
It seemed that he was stronger than the last time he fought with him.
"I'm curious how you can conquer this."
"devil!"
He thought to himself, and turned his eyes to Xia Le, who was still calm beside him.
Then in the next second, his heart suddenly shook, and his robes were rippled by the violent impact, and a ring of violent aura radiated out at an extremely terrifying speed.
Just in the blink of an eye, the entire island is covered.
The purple-blue background was quickly changed at this moment, turning into black and red. In fact, the surrounding ground, stones, and trees were constantly hearing cracking sounds, and cracks appeared one after another.
Compared to Barrett, the more oppressive and terrifying aura of overlord weighs heavily on everyone's heart.
It can be seen that several pirates around Barrett lost consciousness without saying a word, unable to withstand the pressure of this aura at all.
It was also at this time that Xia Le smiled and spoke.
"Barrett!"
"I'm not here to fight you."
He stretched out his right hand towards the other party.
"I admire you very much!"
"Become my navy!"
Crocodile was stunned by these words, and immediately put his right hand on his forehead.
He couldn't imagine that his superior had come up with this method to subdue an unyielding strong man?
The method is too bad!
Sure enough, the next second, he heard Barrett's angry laughter.
"Want to take me as your subordinate?"
"First defeat me with dignity!"
When Xia Le heard this, he burst out laughing and clenched his hands into fists and touched each other.
"That's so easy!"
