In One Piece With The Barrier Fruit

The Marine itself is a war machine built by the World Government and Celestial Dragons.

There is no need for hunting dirty jackals like pirates personally when they have their Marine dogs to do it for them.

Do their "noble" selves need to fight these lowly pirates in person?

"You brat, your ambition is so great it's unprecedented. Even Roger can't compare to you!"

"Then I will put my name on the Big Daddy Pirates, and call me again when you are confident of dealing with the World Government."

"And I think Charlotte Linlin and Kaido should be no match for you, so you shouldn't need me to take action against them."

The Red Count squinted his eyes slightly, but was not completely affected by the words of Basire. What he liked most was freedom.

But after listening to Basire's words, he might consider accompanying him to see the true power of the World Government.

After all, he wanted to give it a try against the World Government's strongest people.

He is a loner, but he is also a pirate who loves a good fight, otherwise he would not have had a one-on-one fight with Kong for no reason.

It is not easy for a strong man of his level to decide to run away, so he fought with Kong till the sky fell apart, trying to defeat the Marine no matter what. In the end, he was exhausted and was caught by Garp.

"Bahahaha!! Old man, don't be so lazy. Your haki experience and future assistance are not enough to pay for your freedom plus the value of this vampire fruit."

"But I promise you, I don't need your help to deal with the Yonkōs and other pirates. I will only call you when the powerful people of the World Government or Marine Admirals are dispatched. How about that?"

Basire thought for a moment and released his conditions again. He didn't want to let the Red Count's combat power slip away like this.

After all, he is planning to take action on Egghead Island, and maybe he will really attract old monsters like the Five Elders.

Then the Red Count can be asked to help immediately.

"Fine!"

Redfield thought for a moment and immediately agreed. It seemed that teaching Basire about haki was the right choice.

If he didn't need to deal with the Yonkōs and pirates, then he would hardly need to work for Basire. After all, he had lived for so many years and had never seen the Five Elders of the World Government or God's Knights take action.

As for the Marine Admirals, they did not dare to easily enter the New World to attack the Yonkō pirate groups.

Even if a couple Marine Admirals come, it will be very easy to deal with them with Basire and Bullet.

"Happy cooperation! Old man Redfield!"

Basire smiled like an unscrupulous merchant as he tricked the Red Count.

From the beginning, Basire was aiming for Redfield and Bullet to help deal with the strong people of the World Government. As for dealing with the other Yonkōs?, Basire could do it himself.

Now that he had obtained Bullet's armament training method and the Red Count's advanced haki training methods one after another, he did not continue chatting with the old man and ran back to the room to study and explore these training methods.

The Ark Maxim continued to fly to the remote location of the devil fruit.

The Red Count is now more interested in the vampire fruit than him, so Basire should not spend too much thought on it.

Anyway, he can just take the old man to the island and let him look for it on his own.

A few days later, Ark Proverbs landed in the mist-filled Sleepy Town.

"Mister Redfield, the clue to the vampire fruit is a place with ancient writings. We will also go to the island to help you find it."

Nico Robin had heard that there were ancient writings in Sleepy Town and came to join in the fun to see what was going on.

"That brat Basire is working hard on his haki. He doesn't care about it at all. So please help me find it."

The Red Count looked like an aristocrat, and for the sake of the vampire fruit, he gave up a lot of his previous aloofness as a lone ranger.

"Bahahaha, who said I don't care? I'm here right now!"

When Basire came out of his room, his whole spirit seemed to have undergone earth-shaking changes.

"Your conqueror's haki is even more powerful!"

The Red Count glanced at Basire. This kid's conqueror's haki was already approaching the power he had at his peak. This progress was indeed huge.

He is indeed an ambitious person who has set the world as his goal, which is countless times more ambitious than becoming the Pirate King.

"It's a small improvement, but it's nothing worth mentioning. Now it's better to help you find the vampire fruit quickly."

"I've already thought of new titles for you and Bullet. The unparalleled Ghost Kings of the Big Daddy Pirates, Demon Bullet and Vampire Redfield."

Basire ignored the slightly twitching old face of the Red Count after hearing the lame titles, laughed and jumped off the Ark Maxim to look for the ancient ruins in Sleepy Town.

The legendary vampire fruit should be enshrined in an altar with ancient writings.

'What a pity, the pet raccoon following the Red Count is somewhere, but I don't know where.'

Basire remembered the raccoon named Pato who followed Redfield. It was no less cute than Chopper, but it was actually a pen that "ate" the mythical bake-danuki fruit. By writing on leaves, it can transform them into almost anything, including humans.

As everyone searched around the misty island, they soon found a number of ancient castle ruins.

With Nico Robin's deciphering of the ancient texts and the crowd's use of force to destroy the obstacles, they soon found the legendary vampire fruit.

"Old man, you also know how precious this devil fruit is. If it weren't for you, I would definitely keep it for my own people to use."

Basire held the purple vampire fruit in his hand, smiled and said to the Red Count, you must know how attractive immortality is to anyone.

"I know. I have promised you that as long as the World Government and the Marine Admirals take action, I will fight for you wholeheartedly without any hesitation!"

Redfield stared at the vampire fruit in Basire's hand, his wrinkled face already full of desire.

The opportunity to regain his youth was just around the corner, how could he not be excited!

"Then you will be vampire Redfield from now on."

Basire threw the vampire fruit to Redfield and saw the elegant old man taking the devil fruit in a flash.

Basire felt that he had to find pure gold quickly. He didn't want to see himself or his women grow old.

Only if you experience Redfield's despair of falling into old age can you understand how great youth is. But he doesn't want to experience the feeling of weakness in old age. So he will definitely find pure gold.

Basire took everyone back and left Sleepy Town to find some prey for Redfield so that he could quickly regain his youth.
