Pirates: The Ruler of Flames - The Grand Line of the Flame Emperor

Xiao Yan finished speaking, everyone was shocked.

As if in response to Xiao Yan 's words, the gate of the castle was pushed open, and a very burly man with a devilish, terrifying aura walked in amid the howling wind and snow.

"Click, click"

With the sound of crisp and powerful footsteps, the most dangerous enemy the Sky Pirates had encountered since setting out to sea: Douglas Barrett finally appeared in front of them.

At this moment, no one in the castle dared to breathe. Obviously, everyone was suppressed by the despairing aura emanating from Barrett.

This is a killing machine that seems to have no warm human emotions, only anger, destruction, and destructive emotions. Enelu had already come to Xiao Yan 's side. Tiger, who was also lying on the bed, clenched his fists. Eric, who was taking care of his sister, also held the two swords in his hands. As for Freya, she held each other's hands tightly. Kuleha's body was also very tense at this moment. "So scary"

"What a horrible fellow!"

"Is this guy really human?"

Xiao Yan lying on the hospital bed , his brows were tightly furrowed, and a kind of manic emotion emanated from his whole body, and he uttered questions like the whisper of a devil.

"What's going on?"

Those scarlet eyes made everyone present tremble in their hearts.

At this time, Xiao Yan's calm reply broke the silence in the castle. "Don't get me wrong, I just lost some blood."

when he heard Xiao Yan 's answer. He turned his head and looked at the pale little girl on the other bed. She seemed to understand something and said mockingly, "Is that why you become so weak because of your ridiculous companions?"

"Now, I can kill you easily" "!!!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone became nervous. Enelu, Freya, and Eric subconsciously stood in front of Xiao Yan 's bed. Seeing this, Barrett's mocking smile became even more intense.

"Sure enough, companions only make people weak. You don't think these poor creatures can save you, do you?" As soon as Barrett said this, Enel couldn't help but be angry before Xiao Yan even opened his mouth.

"This is the first time I've been called a poor creature. After all, I'm the deputy captain, and it's really unpleasant to be looked down upon like this. It seems I need to prove myself."

Barrett raised his head, glanced at Enel with the corner of his eye, and said with a mocking smile, "He is just a lucky guy who ate the Thunder Fruit."

"!!!"

This sentence completely ignited the anger in Enel's heart. Just as he was about to take action, he was pulled back by Xiao Yan from behind.

Seeing this, Barrett looked at the two with even more disdain. As for the other members of the Sky Pirates, Barrett simply disdained to look at them. But then, Xiao Yan 's words made Barrett frown deeply.

"Don't be so angry, Enelu. He said you were a poor creature, but he himself is also a poor creature who needs to rely on others for his own existence." "!!!"

As soon as the words came out, the atmosphere in the entire castle changed.

Freya and the others could clearly feel that the devil-like man in front of them, whose originally arrogant aura was obviously stagnant after Xiao Yan said this.

But soon, Barrett resumed his laughter and said.

"Knowing that your death is near, are you planning to gain some advantage in an argument before you die?" "No"

Xiao Yan, lying on the hospital bed , shook his head and continued slowly.

"I was surprised at first. Although we have met before, we don't seem that familiar with each other, and there is no deep hatred that requires you to come and kill me. But now I suddenly understand. You can't find the value of your existence after Roger's death, so you want to prove yourself by killing me."

When these words were spoken, not only were the people present stunned, but even Barrett's expression changed drastically.

Now, everyone was more certain that Xiao Yan might have hit upon the pain in Barrett's heart.

"Is it really okay for you to provoke this guy like this?"

Freya leaned back and asked quietly. And as if responding to Freya's worry.

Suddenly, Barrett laughed out loud as if he had gone crazy.

"Sure enough, my choice was not wrong. It was worth it for me to travel across the entire Grand Line, searching for your traces island by island."

"Only a fellow like you is worthy of being killed by me!"

"As long as I kill you, I can prove to the world that I am right."

"Dreams, companions, ambitions, and successors of will are all meaningless. Only absolute strength is the truth of this world."

At this moment, everyone present had the same thought in their minds as they watched Barrett screaming like crazy. This guy might be just like what Xiao Yan said, he was really a pitiful creature.

But that doesn't prevent him from being a very dangerous and scary guy.

Everyone was already thinking about the next retreat, but Xiao Yan suddenly spoke up. "So, have you chosen a cemetery for me?"

Barrett was stunned at first, but then laughed even more crazily.

"That's right. After all, you are the successor of Roger's will. Even if I kill you, I can't be too casual." "Indeed, I have to choose a good cemetery for you."

"Only this is worthy of our fight."

"It's such a pity. Why didn't I realize at that time that you are such an interesting guy?"

"No wonder Captain Roger and Mr. Rayleigh like you so much. You are just what I like." "Well, see you tomorrow morning. You should be back to your best form tomorrow morning."

Xiao Yan nodded calmly. "Of course."

"That's great. I hope you can let me enjoy the pleasure of fighting tomorrow. Don't die so easily. Otherwise, I will torture your companions one by one and kill them."

After the words fell, Barrett walked out of the castle amidst crazy laughter, and his figure disappeared in the wind and snow. Seeing the disappearance of Barrett's voice, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Freya asked anxiously.

"You're not really going to fight him tomorrow, are you? We still have time to escape now."

Xiao Yan shook his head . "You can't run away!"

"Then can you beat him?" Xiao Yan shook his head again.

"Although this may be a bit of a boost to others' morale and a loss to my own prestige, the chance that I can beat him is less than 10%. This guy's fighting power is definitely at the level of the Warring States period." "!!!"

Everyone was shocked. Zhan Guo was a great general, and 10 and 0 were almost the same.

"What if we two join forces?" Enel proposed his idea.

Xiao Yan still shook his head and said something that puzzled everyone. "I want to fight this battle by myself."
