justice, yet in mentoring his successors, he’s been a complete failure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether his son Dragon, his grandson the Straw Hat, or his adopted son Ace—the son of Roger—they all ended up opposing him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In a way, that’s a family trait.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barrett nodded, his eyes glinting with coldness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Gao Wen had never ordered him to watch Vegapunk, what had just happened was a slap in the face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found it even harder to accept that his own negligence might cause losses to Gao Wen’s crew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he had made this place his home, he would not let Vegapunk leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Vegapunk’s disappearance is my responsibility—I’ll bring him back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Barrett turned to leave, but paused at the door and warned Gao Wen:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Captain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s Vegapunk’s former comrade, and he appeared here just after Vegapunk joined Britannias—it’s possible this is an inside job.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Pirate domination isn’t a child’s game—it’s a cruel world of survival of the fittest, betrayal, and slaughter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t trust others’ promises too easily.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The moment a contract is made, it waits to be torn apart.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since joining Britannias, Barrett had opened up and come to understand the others—Gao Wen included.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The title of “most righteous in the East Blue” was no lie, nor was his world-shaking power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this man…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Trusted others too easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether toward himself or the newly joined Vegapunk, his trust was nearly absolute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a trait made him a touching companion—but in the pirate world, it seemed dangerously naive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Barrett didn’t dislike this naivety, since he was now Gao Wen’s crewman, he felt obligated to point out Gao Wen’s blind spots and correct his own failures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To become Britannias’s firewall—to eliminate every possible threat!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was Barrett’s self-defined

ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heavy footsteps grew faster, then farther, until they vanished from Gao Wen’s hearing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Keluo frowned:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This guy… overstepped.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Wen didn’t care—he watched Barrett’s retreating back, still uneasy, and told Keluo:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it’s Dragon, whether Barrett can beat him is uncertain, but he won’t stop him—notify Yisheng to prepare to intervene.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If anyone dares to take my people…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoever they are—they’ll die!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning flashed, illuminating Gao Wen and revealing his cold, stern gaze to Keluo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lightning flashed, illuminating Gao Wen’s face, revealing his

been brought here by Dragon the moment he awoke—he wasn’t surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon ignored the awkwardness and asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You really won’t come back with
