Chapter 159: Captain Luo Jie Said

Among the three types of Haki, the one Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen awakened first and mastered with the greatest proficiency and power was Conqueror's Haki.

Why would that be?

You must know, even a cowardly runaway soldier can awaken Conqueror's Haki, let alone a noble transmigrator.

He possesses the God's Eye View, knowing the plot and characters; he once regarded everyone around him as paper cutouts; he is a transmigrator who knows secrets and has a cheat.

His spirit must naturally be extraordinary.

And Conqueror's Haki is precisely the embodiment of that spirit.

Aside from Conqueror's Haki, Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen has played with Observation Haki until it bloomed into countless forms.

There is ultra-long-range Observation Haki amplified by radio waves, self-awakened Observation Haki precognition, and Observation Haki telepathy and future sight purchased from the Shangcheng.

Precisely because of the existence of Observation Haki future sight, Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen saw Imu's imminent arrival ten seconds in advance.

And he quickly made arrangements.

Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen was seen unleashing an instant-cast Wu Xiang Yi Dao, repelling Garp and Sengoku,

then instantly flashing to Big Mom's side, striking Saint Natsushiro twice consecutively with Wu Xiang Yi Dao, and seizing the First Generation Wado Ichimonji to store it in the System Space.

It is better for the First Generation Wado Ichimonji to be listed on the trading platform to sell for some points than to gather dust in Saint Natsushiro's hands.

"Big Mom, you all withdraw first."

Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen feared not Imu's Black Turn Domination; since half of this battle's objective had been achieved, it was time for the relatively weaker allies to withdraw first.

Big Mom and Yuzhi Xiliu awakened Conqueror's Haki after this battle and would become high-end combat power for the Morning Star Pirates.

Moreover, having already experienced the most peak battle, the Imu who appears next would be too overpowered for them.

Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen's authority as captain was questioned by no one.

Big Mom unhesitatingly reached out to pat Yuzhi Xiliu, while his other hand patted himself, instantly teleporting everyone off the field using the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi ability.

Thus, the Morning Star Pirates were left with only Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen, Mihawk, Shiki, Master Tenghu, and Tie Lei.

And the external aid, Lei Li.

After Big Mom departed, Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen, relying on his speed advantage, instantly flashed combined with instant-cast Wu Xiang Yi Dao to repel enemies and gather his allies together.

"Tie Lei, come over quickly."

Tie Lei had been teasing Zephyr, who suffered from asthma, for a whole day and seemed not yet to have had enough fun; only upon hearing the words did he hop over.

"Why stop fighting?" Shiki was very puzzled: "I was fighting that kid Kizaru to my heart's content..."

Shiki's words stopped halfway, as he already knew why the captain had gathered them.

Above Saint Natsushiro, who had been cut in half, black mist rose up, and in the blink of an eye, the two halves of the body fused back together.

Above Saint Natsushiro's head, a mysterious black shadow appeared, revealing only a pair of crimson eyes, which slowly swept over the crowd that had ceased fighting.

"Barzab."

This sudden turn of events caused the opposing sides, who had just stopped fighting, to strangely split into three groups.

Saint Garling stood silently beside Saint Natsushiro, deliberately lagging behind and maintaining a certain distance.

On the Marine side, Kizaru glanced at the mysterious shadow, quickly picked up the unknown life-or-death Akainu and left, leaving only Sengoku to help Zephyr up and reunite with the master and disciple pair, Garp and Aokiji.

Not far directly in front of Imu.

Standing to Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen's left were Mihawk and Lei Li; to his right were Shiki and Master Tenghu; Tie Lei had shrunk his form and was crouching on Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen's left shoulder.

Although they could not compare to the six experts of God Valley, at least in momentum they did not fall to a lower level.

Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen stepped his left foot onto the rubble, hoisting his sword Mengxiang Yixin onto his right shoulder, his body leaning slightly forward.

"Ah~ my lord Imu has arrived."

Such a familiar scene made Imu inexplicably recall Rocks from eighteen years ago in God Valley; it seemed he stood in exactly this posture.

"My lord Imu, should I call you the King of Sewer Rats, or the King of the World?"

As soon as the words fell, Imu's fur stood on end.

Just now, only the posture resembled Rocks; "King of Sewer Rats" was entirely a phrase Rocks used to describe Him.

Is Barzab Rocks?

Imu's abnormal reaction made Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen cover his stomach and laugh loudly.

"My lord Imu."

"Did I imitate well?"

"Captain Luo Jie said: You and Rocks faced each other back then and talked about many things."

When he retires later, Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen plans to write a book titled "Captain Luo Jie Said," recording advanced revolutionary experiences and observations from traveling the seas.

He would not miss any opportunity to mess with Captain Luo Jie.

This conversation left Aokiji and Zephyr instantly stunned in place, not knowing what to think anymore.

From what Barzab said, and from Saint Garling's positioning, it was not hard to see that this mysterious my lord Imu was the true ruler of the World Government.

The twenty kings who established the World Government eight hundred years ago... had someone finally sat upon the specially set-up Empty Throne?

Luo Jie really knew quite a few secrets.

Garp and Sengoku also remained silent.

Imu's crimson eyes flickered constantly, as if weighing in his heart whether it was necessary to recruit Barzab or to execute him on the spot to leave no future trouble.

Although Barzab knew the secrets of God Valley, he was not of the D. clan.

Nineteen years old, with immense room for growth.

His speech and conduct still used the honorific "you," and he had once helped the World Government retrieve the Elbaf national treasure—the Mythical Zoan: Noah Ark form.

At the same time, he had been to Laugh Tale, and gathered many high-end combat powers around him.

If not for the public execution of Luo Jie's son by the Marines, they should still be in the Honeymoon Period with the World Government at this time.

Satan, that good-for-nothing, already has a path to death.

"State your conditions..."

Discovering that Imu was attempting to recruit Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen, Saint Natsuro hurriedly reported that the other party had consumed two Devil Fruits.

"Davy Jones?" Imu's tone changed.

You good-for-nothing Satan! You didn't even investigate such a crucial clue clearly, yet you claim Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen has no connection to the D. family?

"Hey, hey, hey." Saint Saint Saiwen interrupted.

In the pirate world, it seems everyone is a king of imagination.

To connect this to Davy Jones... could the secret of Blackbeard consuming two Devil Fruits really be related to the special constitution of the Davy family?

"Imu, my lord."

"I am Barzab Saint Saint Saiwen, known by no other name. I have no relation to the Davy family."

Saint Saint Saiwen pointed at that face which resembled ten thousand readers.

"Just thinking about it makes it impossible. Could Rocks have sired a son as handsome as me?"

Imu nodded thoughtfully.

Indeed, it doesn't look like it. The Davy family has always been known for a wild appearance, whereas Barzab is handsome and refined.

Immensely powerful, willing to align with the World Government, consumed two Devil Fruits...

He is indeed worth recruiting.

With Harald and Barzab, the World Government's rule will become even more solid; what can Joy Boy use to win the eight-hundred-year pact?

Even if Barzab harbors a great secret, offering generous conditions will surely corrupt him; if he cannot be corrupted, it is merely that the conditions were insufficient.

"I grant you immortality."

"The name of the God's descendant."

Upon hearing this, Saint Saint Saiwen wordlessly pouted.

To him, immortality was not a reward at all, but clearly a slave contract; even if he signed the most basic shallow sea contract, he would henceforth become Imu's cauldron.

With Senzu Beans, why would one need immortality?

The name of the Celestial Dragon is still somewhat useful; at least in the future, when traveling to the Holy Land Mary Geoise, one could call upon an Admiral of the Marines for escort.

"Imu, my lord, give me something practical."

"Have them withdraw; let us talk slowly."

"How about that?"
