One Piece: Kaido the Beast Playing House

"Kaido!" Barrett yelled and sat up from the bed, but then lay back down because of the pain in his abdomen. Barrett grinned and opened his eyes. What he saw was no longer the sky of the island before, but the familiar sky. wooden ceiling in lounge room.

"Wake up, lie down first. You can't get up now. You have to rest for at least two days. With your physique, if it were anyone else, even if you were lucky enough to survive, your life would be considered useless." The person who spoke was Roger. The ship's doctor on the pirate group is just a ship's doctor, but his medical skills are not very good, or even ordinary. He just luckily read medical books for a few days and rushed to the shelves. At least Barrett can guarantee that he is so neat and tidy. The orderly bandages were definitely not his handiwork.

"Tch, it's like you know more about it." Barrett muttered quietly, and then he heard the door ring, and Roger's familiar laughter also came.

"Are you awake? How are you? Do you know what it means that there are mountains outside the mountains and there are people outside the people?" Roger walked to the hospital bed, smiled and patted Barrett's arm. This is the only place where he can take pictures now. But it still made Barrett grin in pain.

"Okay, just wake up. You should have learned a lesson this time, right?" Roger looked at Barrett and said nothing, and didn't intend to stay any longer. He turned around and prepared to leave. He had been using it for the past two days. Jianwense Baqi monitored Barrett, just to be afraid that he would not be able to think about it after he woke up, but now it seems that although he is a little depressed, there is no big problem, and he can go and catch up on his sleep.

"Roger!" Just as Roger yawned and was about to go out, Barrett suddenly stopped him. Roger was stunned for a moment, but then he smiled and turned to look at Barrett.

"Can we talk alone?" Barrett looked at the ship's doctor, but his words shocked the ship's doctor. How polite? Is this Barrett? Could it be that Kaido has Barrett's twin brother? It's true that Barrett was beaten to death by Kaido and then sent in to pretend to be one, right? With such an unreliable idea, the ship's doctor glanced at Roger. After Roger smiled and nodded, the ship's doctor touched his head and walked out.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Roger asked, leaning against the wall and making a gesture that he thought was cool.

"Roger, have I really never left my country?" Barrett's first question stunned Roger. After Barrett boarded the ship, everyone knew one thing. , don’t mention his motherland in front of Barrett. He may loudly brag about how many people he has killed and successfully revenged, but he will never admit that it is his motherland, but now Barrett has taken the initiative to mention it.

"How do you look at it? If it's physical, you would have left long ago, but if it's mental, yes, you are still there. From your words, deeds, and even your clothes, how can Did that guy Kaido make fun of you? "Roger could guess what Kaido did, after all, Barrett's condition was clearly written on his face.

"That's not sarcasm, what he said is the truth. Indeed, I have never walked out of that battlefield. Whether I am awake or in a dream, I will always be on that battlefield. I am alone, hungry and thirsty, and I will die at any time. , surrounded by enemies, I am surrounded, always inside, never come out, I need strength, because I think that when I have enough strength, I can escape from this battlefield, I am a deserter! ! I was never the strongest soldier! I was just a deserter!" Barrett said as tears flowed from his eyes. This was the first time in his memory that he shed tears. Is there also such a function? Kaido is right, he is just an empty shell, an empty shell named Douglas Barrett, an empty shell of the strongest soldier. The real "bullet" has long been lost on the battlefield, and now What's here is just an empty shell.

This was the reason why Barrett had such a big reaction at that time, because he was seen through. Almost the same childhood experience made Kaido see through Barrett at a glance. Every word Kaido said was like a nail. Barrett's disguise was shattered, his shell was shattered, and the inner falsehood was exposed. His anger was towards Kaido, but not towards Kaido's words, but towards the truth. ,Why? Why are you still on the battlefield since you were a child, and betrayed by your country, but you can still live so realistically! Why you are real!

"You're jealous," Roger suddenly said. Barrett, who was in tears, was stunned and didn't realize what he meant. But then Roger continued, "I said, you're jealous, why can others be so... Relaxing life obviously has the same experience.”

"Yes, I admit it, I'm jealous, I'm jealous of his life, why! Why can he successfully walk off the battlefield, why doesn't he leave anything on the battlefield? Is he that lucky!" Now that he has said it, Ba Leiter didn't hide it, not to mention that Roger was someone he recognized. He was a powerful person and someone who could walk out of the battlefield.

"In fact, Barrett, do you know? No matter how powerful your strength is, it can't help you get out of that battlefield, because it's your heart that's trapped you on the battlefield. No matter how strong your body is, your heart is empty. Do you remember you asked me? Why is my Conqueror's Haki so much stronger than yours? It's very simple, because your Conqueror's Haki is actually fake. Of course, this doesn't mean that your Conqueror's Haki is a disguise. You do have the talent for Conqueror's Haki, but because of the emptiness of your heart, your Conqueror's Haki seems powerful, but it's like a huge bubble that bursts with a poke." Roger said, making a gesture of poking with his hand, and then continued.

"Maybe what I said is a bit empty, let me put it another way. I asked you before, what is your dream, you said to become the strongest, but I saw at the time that it was fake, not what you really think. Now it seems that what you really think is to escape from the battlefield in your heart."

"Yes, I hope to leave, I don't want to be in that situation again, whether I open my eyes or close them, it seems that the battlefield is always around me, the smell of gunpowder is always in my nose, the sound of gunfire and artillery is always in my ears, no matter how delicious the food and wine are, they are all the things I have to eat in order to survive in the battlefield. I am tired of Roger, really, this is too painful." Barrett said, and began to cry again, as if he wanted to shed all the tears of the past ten years, and he couldn't stop it.

"I haven't felt this feeling, so I won't say anything nonsense like I can understand it, I can understand it, but I met a guy, he was a soldier of a country, he was seriously injured in a war, lame a leg, broken an arm, blind an eye, and deaf an ear, but even so he was lucky, because he was the only one in their team who survived, that guy has lived in that war forever since that day, he always sees his comrades waving to him, and then die in front of him, someone drops an orange on the road, he will immediately lie down, and so on. "

"Then what?" Barrett was fascinated, because this is his own symptom, and the reason why he is always angry is the same, because he always regards other people's voices as the sound of an attack.

"Later? He got better. It's amazing, isn't it? One morning, he woke up and suddenly got better. No one figured it out. Later, by chance, I learned the truth. The guy went back to the battlefield. It was still a short 200 meters. He walked over step by step with a lame leg and one eye. He didn't retreat or stop. He walked over step by step with determination. I heard that there were still many unexploded mines buried there, but he walked down 200 meters at night. He fell down countless times, but he still walked down." The person Roger was talking about was actually an old man who was a doorman in a tavern when he went out to sea. The whole story was told to him by the bartender of the tavern. Of course, Roger didn't tell Barrett that the old man did get better, but he got Alzheimer's disease a few years later.

"You mean, let me go to that battlefield again? But is it possible?" Barrett hesitated. He was not sure whether this method was suitable for him.

"How do you know if you don't try? We will help you arrange the battlefield to be more similar, and I am your enemy. This time, you need to survive on your own. No fruit can help you." Roger's face darkened, and he looked at Barrett gloomily.

"Roger, has anyone said that? Your acting is very poor, and your current posture is not handsome at all." Barrett said with a twitch of his mouth.

"How is it possible? I don't know how many girls I have charmed with this trick. Forget it, what do you think? Do you agree with this plan?" Roger's face froze instantly, and he made an international friendly gesture to Barrett and turned back to the previous topic.

"When do we set off?"

"Where do you think we are going now?"
