Chapter 126 Barrett causes multiple actions (Ch 126)

Stussy said to Den Den Mushi, “Moshi Moshi, I’m Stussy.”
A voice came from the other end of the phone: “Stucy, now I have a task for you. Find a way to establish a cooperative relationship with the Death God Pirates! Use the cooperative relationship to find out the internal information of the Death God Pirates.”
Stussy frowned and asked, “Why do you do this?”
The Five Elders, Topman Vochuli Saint, gave the order and said, “You don’t need to know the reason, just do as I say.”
Stussy didn’t ask any more questions. The Five Elders were her superiors. As one of the CPOs of the secret members, she only needed to complete the tasks assigned by the Five Elders.
After both parties hung up the phone, Stussy fell into deep thought.
It is not easy to establish a cooperative relationship with the Death Pirates, let alone obtain information from them.
She realized the mission might be tricky, but as an experienced agent, she was confident she could accomplish it.
However, what Stussy didn’t know was that the Five Elders asked her to do this because they were already very wary of Durant.
Durant’s rise and the powerful strength he demonstrated made the Five Elders uneasy. They needed to know more about the Death Pirates in order to better deal with possible threats in the future.
For the Five Elders, this was a risky but necessary move.
They hope that by cooperating with the Death Pirates, they can obtain some key information and take action when necessary.
And Stussy became the best person to carry out this task.
A few days later, a piece of news that shocked the world spread like wildfire to all major forces and around the world.
In the office of Admiral Aokiji at the new Navy Headquarters, the atmosphere was solemn and tense. Kizaru, who was on duty at the Navy Headquarters, stared at the newspaper in his hand with a lewd look on his face, muttering to himself, “How terrible!” His eyes were fixed on the headline of the newspaper, which read: “Douglas Barrett, a crew member of the legendary Pirate King Gol D. Roger, actually holds the permanent record pointer to Raftel!”
This news was like a bomb, instantly causing a huge uproar in the pirate world. Countless pirates began to get ready to grab this precious treasure clue.
Aokiji looked at the chief of staff, Vice Admiral Tsuru, with a heavy face and asked, “Vice Admiral Tsuru, how true do you think this news is?”
Vice Admiral Tsuru pondered for a moment and replied, “Although this possibility cannot be ruled out, based on the information we have so far, the probability of its authenticity should not be high. After all, if Barrett really possessed such a precious thing, it would have been snatched away by the other Four Emperors or powerful pirate groups. However, this possibility cannot be completely ruled out.”
Aokiji frowned, knowing the seriousness of the matter. If the news was true, the entire pirate world would be in turmoil, and it might even threaten the dominance of the Navy Headquarters.
After careful consideration, Aokiji finally made up his mind: “In this case, we can’t take it lightly. I will send Admiral Fujitora to lead an elite fleet to investigate the matter. In any case, we must ensure that this news will not have too much impact on the Navy Headquarters.”
Vice Admiral Tsuru nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with Aokiji’s decision. She knew that in the face of such a major incident, the Navy Headquarters must take decisive action. Only through active response measures can the world’s peace and stability be maintained.
Just as everyone was discussing, there was a slight noise at the door of the office. Then, the door was slowly pushed open, and Sengoku and Garp walked in side by side. They had a faint smile on their faces, and they didn’t seem to care about the tense atmosphere in the room.
After Karp walked into the room, he burst into laughter, and his voice echoed throughout the house: “Haha! What on earth are you little brats discussing? Your expressions are so serious, is the end of the world coming?” His laughter broke the originally solemn atmosphere, and people couldn’t help but feel a little relaxed.
Seeing this, Aokiji stood up and handed the two newspapers he had prepared to Garp and Sengoku. After Sengoku took the newspaper, he frowned slightly and said while reading the newspaper: “Douglas Barrett… is indeed a difficult guy. This guy is a complete fighting maniac who only knows how to speak with his fists. He restrained himself after losing to Roger, but after Roger’s death, he completely lost control again. Now that he has escaped from Impel Down, he will definitely cause a lot of trouble.”
Hearing this, Karp couldn’t help laughing out loud: “Hahaha, that guy is a lunatic. But in that case, let me do it myself! No matter what trouble you encounter, as long as I’m here, I can solve it.” As he said that, he took out a bag of donuts from his pocket and spoke incoherently while eating.
Aokiji originally planned to send Fujitora to deal with the matter, but when he saw Garp volunteered, he hesitated for a moment, then scratched his head and said helplessly: “Okay! Since Mr. Garp is willing to take action, thank you for your help. I hope this operation can be completed smoothly.” After that, he sighed deeply, as if he had foreseen the chaos that might follow.
“Haha! Just leave it to me! I’m not so old that I can’t fight.” Karp patted his chest and assured.
Sengoku and Tsuru looked at each other and nodded. They were very clear about Garp’s strength. If even he couldn’t solve the problem, then no one in the navy would be able to handle the matter.
“Then I’ll leave it to you, Mr. Garp.” Aokiji said seriously.
“No problem, Aokiji.” Garp laughed heartily.
The matter was settled, and neither Sengoku nor Tsuru had any objections. After all, with Garp’s strength, he could handle any situation.
Kizaru on the side yawned, secretly glad that he didn’t have to carry out this task. For him, he would be lazy if he could, since his salary would not increase anyway.
In Kizaru’s dictionary, there is no word for “diligent”. Only “slacking off” is the way to go.
This is the Shichibukai side.
Hawkeye Mihawk sat in his coffin-shaped boat, drinking red wine and reading the report in the newspaper. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a disdainful smile. “Hmm? Raftel’s permanent record pointer?” He muttered to himself, “It’s really interesting, but I’m not that easy to be fooled.” After that, he threw the newspaper aside and continued to enjoy his wine and solitude.
Bartholomew Kuma, once a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, has now become a slave of the Celestial Dragons. He was secretly transferred to the holy land of Marijoa and lost his freedom and dignity. He has long been numb to this news, with only endless pain and despair in his heart.
Moonlight Moriah is still missing, no one knows where he has gone, and no one cares whether he is alive or dead. He seems to have disappeared from this world, leaving only a mysterious back.
Doflamingo, upon hearing the news, couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “Hahaha! Raftel’s permanent record pointer? How ridiculous! How could such a thing be true?” He said sarcastically, with a cunning gleam in his eyes.
When the newly promoted Shichibukai Clown Buggy heard the news, his eyes lit up. “Wow! The World Expo held by Barrett? And Raftel’s Permanent Record Pointer? That’s the treasure of the legendary Pirate King Roger!” He shouted excitedly, his heart full of greed and expectation.
So, he decided to take part in this event without hesitation and took his men on a journey to find the treasure.
On Trafalgar Law’s side, when he saw the news about Raftel’s Permanent Record Pointer, he couldn’t help but be moved. “Raftel’s Permanent Record Pointer… If we can get it, maybe we can find the legendary One Piece.”
He pondered secretly, with a thoughtful expression on his face. However, he did not make a decision immediately, but fell into deep thought.
The former Shichibukai, Jinbei and Crocodile, were not interested in this at all. They were both experienced pirates and knew that this kind of thing was often just a scam.
“Hmph, Raftel’s permanent record pointer? Stop kidding! How could such a thing appear so easily?” Jinbei said disdainfully. He was skeptical about such things.
Crocodile sneered: “Raftel’s permanent record pointer? Haha, what a naive idea! Who would believe such nonsense?”
The other four emperors, the Red Hair Pirates, the BIGMOM Pirates, and the Beasts Pirates all chose to ignore it. They have their own goals and plans, and don’t care about such unrealistic rumors.
Red-haired Shanks drank leisurely and said with a smile: “Raftel’s Permanent Record Pointer? Let those little guys deal with this kind of thing. We have more important things to do.”
BIGMOM Charlotte Lingling slammed the table angrily: “What? Raftel’s permanent record pointer? This must be fake! If anyone dares to lie to me, I will twist his head off!”
Kaido sat in his castle, looking out the window at the sea indifferently, and said to himself: “Raftel’s Permanent Record Pointer? Humph, it’s just a bait, I won’t be fooled.”
At this moment, the members of the Straw Hat Pirates who had just entered the New World were sitting together and discussing their next itinerary.
Nami was sitting on the floor, holding a copy of the latest newspaper in her hand, and suddenly shouted excitedly: “Everyone, look! There’s news about Raftel’s permanent record pointer, and the World Expo hosted by Douglas Barrett!” Her eyes were shining, full of anticipation and excitement.
However, Robin on the side frowned and said to Luffy seriously: “Nami, this Expo is not that simple. It is hosted by Douglas Barrett and is directly open to the public. The purpose is obviously to attract more people. By then, a big melee may break out at any time.” There was a hint of worry in her voice.
Hearing this, Sanji immediately agreed: “Robin is right! This Expo is definitely a trap, we’d better be careful.” A hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes.
“I want to participate.” Luffy shouted like a child, with an excited expression on his face, as if he had already seen his victory.
Nami also looked at Luffy hesitantly and asked again: “Luffy, have you really decided to attend the Expo?” She knew that as the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, Luffy had the right to decide the direction of the team, but at the same time he was also worried that such a decision would bring danger.
At this time, the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates also looked at Luffy, waiting for him to make the final decision. The whole ship was filled with a tense and expectant atmosphere.
Straw Hat Luffy looked at everyone firmly and said in a resolute tone: “Friends, I have decided! We are going to participate in this World Expo and meet Douglas Barrett to see how powerful he is!”
Hearing this, Zoro also showed a rare excited smile on his face. He echoed, “Yes, that’s exactly what I want! After a year of hard training, our strength has been improved. Now is the time to test the results!”
So, the Straw Hat Pirates, led by Luffy, decided to embark on a journey to the World Expo hosted by Douglas Barrett.
At the same time, Kalifa came to Luo Chen and asked softly, “Captain Durant, are you looking for me?”
At this time, Durant was enjoying the massage service of two maids. While relaxing his body, he said to Khalifa, “Yes, Khalifa, go and inform Hancock to attend the World Expo held by Douglas Barrett.”
“Yes, Captain.” Kalifa responded respectfully, then turned and left Durant’s room.
Since becoming Durant’s secretary, Khalifa has found that she has less and less time to spend with Durant, but she has no complaints about it.
On the contrary, she is very willing to do anything for Durant, and she will not hesitate to make efforts as long as she can help Durant, even if it is just a little bit. This kind of loyalty and dedication has established a deep trust relationship between her and Durant.
A week later, on the island where the World Expo was held, Douglas Barrett sat calmly on a rock with his eyes closed, as if he was resting.
However, in reality, Barrett’s heart was not as calm as it seemed.
This time, Barrett held the Expo not only to make money or display rare items, but more importantly, he wanted to take this opportunity to attract strong people from all over the world to come and enjoy a hearty battle. For Barrett, fighting is his life, and only by constantly fighting can he prove his value and strength.
This is the real purpose of Barrett’s hosting of the World Expo – to challenge all the strong men in the world and prove to them that he is the strongest. He is eager to compete with those top masters and use his fists to tell the world: “I, Douglas Barrett, am the most powerful!”
In his eyes, the so-called Four Emperors, Admirals and other powerful people were nothing but passing clouds. He firmly believed that his strength was enough to crush everything and become the overlord of the world. Therefore, when he heard someone question whether he was qualified to host the World Expo, he couldn’t help but feel angry.
Barrett believed that as long as he was strong enough, he could defeat any enemy. This World Expo was a great opportunity for him to show his strength. He was looking forward to a thrilling duel with those strong men, shocking the whole world.
