One Piece: Wudang Baiye, Deputy Captain of the Straw Hats

Like the serialized scripts that sometimes end in the entertainment section of the news agency, when the author can't think of a good ending, he always chooses to end in a funny form.

Former crew member of the Roger Pirates, now one of the founders of the Crusaders, known as the Devil's Heir, Barrett with a bounty of 4.3 billion Bailey.

When he showed his greatness beyond humans, he was killed by a punch.

Such an ending is unacceptable to many people present.

But it turns out that reality is often more outrageous than words.

Because the author of the script needs to consider logic, reality often does not.

——

On the island, Luffy, who put on his straw hat again, slowly walked to the deep pit he smashed out under everyone's gaze, and stood in front of Barrett.

"Ahem..."

Barrett, who didn't have a good place on his body, coughed up blood and looked at Luffy.

"You win, Straw Hat Kid."

"Take this prize too."

Barrett endured the severe pain in his body and took out the eternal pointer engraved with Ralph Drew from his pocket.

It's also outrageous, this thing has not been broken.

Luffy took the eternal pointer and was silent.

"Ahem...,"

Barrett lay quietly in the pit, staring at Luffy the straw hat in front of him, and muttered,

"Is it strong to protect your partner?"

-

Barrett was born in a place called "The War Endlessly".

But he was abandoned by his mother at birth and later picked up and adopted by enemy troops, which was just the beginning of Barrett's tragic life.

He became a war machine cultivated by the enemy country, and at the age of 8 he was sent to the battlefield to complete tasks such as stepping on mines in the first battle, or opening the way with bombs.

Enemy armies have a tradition that the most distinguished person on the battlefield is awarded a medal.

For Barrett, who has only had weapons as companions since childhood, he desperately wanted to get that medal.

Because that may be the only thing that proves his existence.

He began to desperately fight on the battlefield, advancing against the fiercest enemy fire, in search of his own meaning of existence.

But he is not the only one who thinks like this.

When Barrett was about to succeed, he was betrayed by his partner.

Because Barrett is so strong, strong enough to surpass all his partners.

In order to get the medal, he had to die!

Fortunately, Barrett survived his fateful injuries and successfully took revenge on his partner who betrayed him, receiving the medal.

Since then, he has stopped trusting his partner and believes in the strength of being alone.

Five years later, Barrett became the most powerful young soldier on the battlefield, and his strength increased greatly after eating the fruit of the fit.

A year later, Barrett was adopted by his country as a "hero", and his commander became a general because of Barrett's exploits.

The general told him that if he won the war, he would be free.

Barrett nodded again.

In the final battle, Barrett led his army to destroy the enemy country, the army of the country where he was born, and won the war.

But this is just another betrayal.

The general sets a trap and wants to kill him.

As for the reason, Barrett didn't ask.

He simply killed the general, Douglas Gray, with his own hands.

Yes, Douglas Barrett is not actually his name.

Douglas comes from the general's name, which is also the name of his unit.

As for Douglas Barrett, it means the 9th bullet of Douglas's troops.

Barrett's anger destroyed the entire country, and in a sense, he was free.

But he is also wanted by the world government.

15-year-old Barrett is wandering at sea and has never had another life, so he can only constantly search for the battlefield.

Fighting is his only meaning.

The mighty Barrett hasn't lost a single time, because he's the strongest alone.

He can't lose! He must always be the strongest!

Until....

Met Roger.

Barrett sent him a defeat in a challenge, and the successive challenges that followed were the same result.

Eager to become stronger, Barrett joined the Roger Pirates as a challenger, and during this time he constantly challenged Roger, but never won.

Even if only Roger could beat him on the entire ship, he was still training hard.

The only truth that his previous life taught him was that only the strong can survive on the sea.

Two years later, Barrett made a name for himself as a member of Roger's crew and was known as the Devil's Heir.

At the same time, he learns that Roger is terminally ill.

He began to worry that he would not be able to accomplish the goal of surpassing Roger during his lifetime.

At the same time, a thought arose in his heart again: "You must protect your companions."

This should not have been an idea for a person like him, but he actually appeared.

During the battle, he began to become hesitant and began to subconsciously want to protect his partner.

How can it be!

He thinks that such a self has become weaker!

A year later, he defeated Roger for the last time and chose to quit the Roger Pirates.

Another year, he drew with Klockdahl.

Three years later, Karp Sengoku led the Demon Slayer Order fleet to arrest Barrett and imprison him in the advance city of Lv6.

For 20 years, Barrett has never stopped cultivating in the 20 years that he has been locked up in Advance City.

And here he thought about how to surpass Roger's answer:

kill all the strong people, including the four emperors and admirals, only this is the proof of surpassing Roger.

But now he was defeated by Luffy's punch.

-

Barrett has acted all his life, there has been confusion, there has been persistence.

The strength of being alone is still the strength of protecting partners.

Which one is the strongest, he may understand a little.

-

"You used to be Roger's crew."

Luffy's voice sounded, stunned Barrett.

A familiar smile appeared:

"At that time, you must have had a pretty good partner."

Barrett was silent, not knowing how to answer.

But Luffy didn't care, but sat down next to Barrett without disgust, looked at his partner who gradually rushed in his direction, and said with a smile:

"There is no way for a person to survive on the sea."

"For me, if I don't have a partner, I won't be happy even if I get stronger."

Luffy looked at everyone who came to his side.

Always believe in yourself, always think about your partner, and come up with interesting things from time to time.

Solon who doesn't talk much and always likes to drink, but is always the first to rush up at critical moments.

Nami, who does not let herself spend money, but always instructs everyone to sail.

Timid and liar, Usopp who likes to invent.

Meli who carries everyone on their journey.

The dishes made are always the best Yamaji.

Reliable doctor, perfect stock of chopa.

...

The smile on Luffy's face grew brighter:

"It's because of my encounter with everyone that I became who I am today!"
