One Piece: The user of the Nen-Nen Fruit, who overturned the sea.

A country where war never ends.

As one of the more powerful nations in the first half of the Grand Line, hundreds of years ago, for reasons unknown, this nation suddenly split into three smaller countries overnight.

The leaders of these small countries all want recognition from the World Government to make themselves the legitimate rulers of their nations. As a result, these countries have been at war for hundreds of years. People have collectively referred to the countries on this island as the "Nation of Endless War." The Barrett that Roy is looking for is in the Kingdom of Jarzburg.

After five days of sailing, a huge island appeared on the horizon.

Roy stopped wielding his long sword and looked at the island that appeared in the distance.

The island was shrouded in a hazy cloud of smoke. From high above, flames could be seen rising from all over the island, and the booming of cannons could be heard from time to time. The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder and rust.

"Roy, is that the land of endless war?" Stella folded her wings, landed back on the deck, and dusted herself off. "This place looks really unfriendly."

"The island of endless war, a place where war has raged for years, has long been a pawn in the conspiracy of the world government. Various countries are vying for power here, and arms dealers in the underworld are making a fortune on this island. The Barrett we are looking for is also on this island."

Tesoro also stopped his cultivation, stretched his body, and moved closer to the two.

"Boss, should we go straight to Barrett?"

Roy calmly replied as he watched the island draw closer, "No rush. Let's get on the island first, find out what's going on, and find a place where we can rest for a long time."

After all, he still doesn't know if Barrett has been betrayed and has started to distrust others.

The ship approached the island.

"Tesoro, Stella, let's do some simple camouflage first. We'll be staying on this island for quite some time, so we need to avoid being discovered by the Navy and the World Government too early, which would affect our plans."

"Yes, boss!"

Stella steered the "White Dove" into a secluded natural harbor on the edge of the island and hid the ship.

After hiding the ship, Roy, along with Stella and Tesoro, set foot on this land known as the "Land of Endless War".

As we made our way toward Jarzburg, the dark red ground seemed to be soaked in blood, and there were dilapidated houses and weapons and shell casings abandoned after the war everywhere.

At this time, Barrett, who had already earned the title of hero in the Jarzburg army, was undergoing frantic training in the training ground.

Barrett, who was betrayed by his comrades in the previous battle and returned to the military camp alone with serious injuries, couldn't understand why his former comrades would betray him. Unable to get an answer, he grew increasingly angry, and helplessly, he could only vent his anger on his daily training.

At that moment, he was unaware that a young man who wanted to change his future had already set foot on this land and was coming toward him.

"Stay close to me, Tesoro, Stella!"

By this time, Roy and his two companions had traversed the chaotic ruins and arrived at the town of Jarzburg. Looking at the streets riddled with bomb craters, the war-torn country truly lived up to its name.

Walking down the street, you see signs of battle everywhere, and the buildings are in ruins.

"Boss, these people here are too reckless. There's fighting everywhere. We've been attacked several times along the way."

"Bang!"

Just as Tezzolo finished speaking, a gunshot rang out from a dark corner of the alley, the bullet striking Roy, the leader.

"Damn it, here we go again."

The sight of the bullet stopping in front of Roy startled Tesoro, who was making sarcastic remarks. He was then angered. No one would be indifferent to being attacked repeatedly for no reason.

"Don't be angry, Tesoro!"

As they were talking, a figure emerged from the alley and stopped in front of the three. Roy deactivated his ability, and a thin boy in tattered clothes nervously pointed a gun at Roy.

"How did you make me fly? And hand over your money."

Despite being nervous, Tesoro and Stella were momentarily stunned by the fierce look in the boy's eyes as he threatened them with a gun.

They never expected that the one who fired the shot would be such a child, and they never expected that after being captured by Roy, he would not only not run away, but would continue to threaten them with a gun.

"Little guy, we have plenty of money, but why should I give it to you?" Roy teased.

"Hey, I'm pointing a gun at you. I don't know how you did it, but I wouldn't miss at this close range. Hand over the money or I'll kill you!"

"Oh! Really!"

Before he could finish speaking, the boy's spear slipped from his hand.

"Now, the gun is in my hands?"

Looking at his empty hands, the boy paused, then turned to run away. However, under Roy's Observation Haki, how could he leave so easily? He was frozen in place as soon as he took a step.

"Hey kid, tell me your name, and why did you attack us?"

Seeing that he was being controlled by an invisible force again, the boy resignedly said, "My name is Savi. As for why I attacked you, there's no reason. I was just hungry and randomly picked someone to attack."

"Just because you're hungry, you attack people randomly? Are you crazy, you brat?" Stella frowned in disbelief.

"It's not that I'm crazy, it's just that I'm used to it."

Roy looked at the kid in front of him, his voice indifferent.

"Here, killing is the norm."

"Alright kid, now answer a few questions for me, and I'll let you go. If your answers satisfy me, I'll give you a large sum of money."

"Really? You'll even give me money?"

Hearing that the brat Savi dared to doubt his boss, Tesoro could no longer hold back and rolled up his sleeves, ready to go forward and beat the kid up.

"Kid, answer whatever my boss asks. If you utter another word, I'll let you taste my fist."

Seeing Tesoro threaten him, Savi showed no panic whatsoever, instead curling his lip in disdain. This angered Tesoro, who grabbed Savi's collar, and just as his fist was about to fall, Roy stopped him.

"Tch, just ask me whatever questions you have. I might not be able to answer them all."

Seeing Roy stop his punch, Savi straightened his collar and said defiantly.

"Savi, do you know where we can rest around here? We need a quiet place."

"If you want to rest, you can go to the town center, where General Douglas Gray's army is stationed. It will be relatively safer there. There are also many hotels and taverns nearby, which ordinary civilians don't usually go."

Savi pointed in a direction, then hesitated before saying, "However, the cost of living there is very high, and if you don't have money, you'll be arrested by the army."

"Haha~ We have plenty of money," Tesoro said happily, pushing Savi forward as he heard that they finally had a safe place to stay. "Let's go. Kid, take us there quickly."

On the way to the hotel, Roy didn't pay much attention to the hotel's safety, but the surname 'Douglas' aroused his curiosity, after all, Barrett's full name is Douglas Barrett.
