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

Just as the two were fighting, a ship flying the World Government flag arrived at the port of Jalzburg.

A team of CP members from the World Government slowly emerged from the ship's cabin and, led by their liaison, secretly infiltrated the town.

"Buzz~"

An invisible force field instantly contracted and was released with full force onto Barrett. His charging body stopped abruptly, the ground beneath his feet collapsed with a crash, and his knees bent, but he did not fall.

Instead, it roared and, with its amazing willpower and monstrous physique, withstood the tenfold gravity. Although its speed was greatly reduced, it charged towards Roy step by step.

"Good timing!"

Seeing Barrett still charging towards him, Roy unleashed his full Armament Haki, his figure transforming into a meteor as he delivered a powerful punch to meet Barrett's attack.

"Thump~"

Their fists collided, and a terrifying shockwave spread out in a ring, snapping large trees at the edge of the camp in half.

Tesoro used his Flash Shot to block Savi's attack, unleashing his full Armament Haki. Stella, meanwhile, spread her wings and flew into the air.

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, two figures were sent flying backwards.

Roy used his telekinetic power to envelop his entire body and slowly landed on the ground.

Barrett slid for more than ten meters before stopping, stood up, dusted himself off, and grinned with a hearty smile.

"Roy, your ability is really troublesome!"

"You're the one who's like an unbreakable tortoise shell!"

The two exchanged a smile; the fierce battle that could have made anyone's heart race was nothing more than a thoroughly enjoyable warm-up for them.

A real life-or-death struggle is incomparable to this level.

"I'm going back."

"You're welcome anytime."

Roy nodded, not asking any further questions, and simply watched him slowly leave the camp.

Watching the figure disappear into the woods, Tesoro couldn't help but step forward and whisper, "Boss, is Barrett really going to join?"

Roy's gaze was deep: "The final decision is about to begin. Get ready, Tesoro, we'll be leaving here soon."

------

Two days later, the group quietly arrived at Douglas Gray's camp.

In the evening, Barrett, who had just returned from training at the camp in the back mountains, received an order from a team of fully armed soldiers as he approached his residence.

"Barrett, the general summons you. There is an urgent matter to discuss. Please proceed immediately."

Barrett glanced at the soldier delivering the order, and his heart sank. He seemed to have a premonition of something. He took a deep breath and followed the soldier toward the commander's tent.

Barrett entered the tent alone and saw General Gray sitting in the main seat, with several strange figures standing beside him, including a mysterious man wearing a mask.

He could sense from this person that this mysterious person was quite powerful.

Barrett glanced at the group, stepped forward, and saluted General Gray.

"General, Barrett is here to report for duty."

However, Douglas Gray merely glanced at him indifferently without answering, instead addressing the CP members: "It's your turn to fulfill your promise!"

This scene instantly put Barrett on alert, his eyes filled with wariness.

"Douglas Barrett, only 13 years old, possesses superhuman strength and combat talent. He is a war hero of Jarzburg and is known as the Devil's Heir."

"Now, on behalf of the World Government, we invite you to join the CP organization and serve the World Government."

The leader of the CP members coldly read the information in his hand.

"Hey! What's going on with you guys? Didn't we agree to take care of Barrett? Why are you inviting him to join you?"

Upon hearing General Gray's words, Barrett's heart turned completely cold, his eyes instantly turning icy and burning with rage.

He suppressed his anger and looked at Gray in a low voice.

"Why? I've served this country well! You said the war would end soon, and you'd set me free after the victory!!"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I let you leave with the title of hero? I am the leader of this army. How could I allow such an unstable element as you to exist?"

After angrily speaking to Barrett, Douglas Gray turned to the CP members and shouted, "Aren't you going to make a move? Are you not going to fulfill my promise to the World Government?"

Just as Barrett assumed a fighting stance,

With a burst of speed, the CP squad leader appeared in front of General Gray, a short sword sliding out of his sleeve and flashing as it slashed through General Gray's throat.

"Why...?"

The squad leader looked at General Gray, who was lying on the ground clutching his neck, and replied in a calm voice.

"Fool, how could the World Government possibly answer your ridiculous conditions, especially one from someone who betrayed their own sharpest blade?"

After dealing with Gray.

The squad leader looked at Barrett again.

"Douglas Barrett, join or decline?"

"So that's it... the ultimate betrayal? Douglas Gray, and the World Government's lackeys!"

Barrett's expression was icy, his anger surging within him, his hands clenched into fists, Armament Haki involuntarily swirling around him, and he muttered to himself.

A violent burst of Conqueror's Haki erupted from his body, creating a scene of overwhelming power.

The squad leader glanced at Barrett and then ordered, "Looks like you haven't agreed. Move in!"

The six CP members quickly spread out and surrounded Barrett.

The masked CP member who remained behind instantly moved, facing Barrett head-on. A powerful aura locked onto him, clearly indicating that he was a powerful individual proficient in Haki.

The battle erupted instantly.

Barrett let out a low growl and unleashed a powerful punch, his fist coated in Armament Haki, at the cat-faced couple.

His arduous training over the past year has greatly increased his strength, and with his formidable physique, he directly repelled the Cat Face CP.

As soon as he made his move, the CP members surrounding him immediately rushed forward, unleashing a barrage of attacks including finger guns and storm kicks.

Barrett simply took on these ordinary CP members who lacked even a domineering aura, relying on his powerful physique to withstand them head-on.

Just as the Cat Face duo was repelled, Barrett suddenly turned around, his right hand, imbued with Armament Haki, sweeping across and sending two of them flying before they could react. The sound of bones shattering was clearly audible as they crashed through the tent and landed on the ground outside.

"Monster..." The remaining four ordinary CP members turned pale and unconsciously took a half step back.

The cat-faced couple steadied themselves, their faces grim beneath their masks: "As expected of the man known as the heir of the devil, but today you must die here."

Barrett's face was contorted with rage, his eyes practically spitting fire. "You lackeys of the World Government, you cowardly rats hiding your heads and tails, you think you can kill me?"

Before he finished speaking, the ground beneath Barrett's feet suddenly exploded, and he charged towards the Cat Face CP like a bomb. The battle broke out again. Barrett fought against multiple opponents, growing stronger with each battle. His ferocious aura made the CP members breathless.

In an instant, fists clashed in the arena, and the energy surged so far that the walls of the conference room cracked.

"Buzz~"

A sudden force of gravity descended, and everyone in the arena felt as if they had entered a quagmire. The weaker couples were instantly crushed to the ground.

Just then, a lazy voice rang out: "Hey! Barrett, looks like you've gotten yourself into quite a bit of trouble. I've already taken care of the rats outside for you."

Roy, accompanied by Tesoro, Stella, and Savi, appeared at the edge of the battlefield.

Roy had sensed the time was approaching several days ago; his Observation Haki would cover the entire military camp after Barrett left.

Roy had already arrived with several people when the CP members made their move.

Barrett, having forced the cat-faced couple back with a single punch, roared, "Roy! Unleash your power! This is my fight!"
