Barrette was using his instinct to support his body to move.
All of a sudden, Barrette felt his blurry will become clear.
The pain from all the wounds on his body and the piercing pain in his chest began to fade away like the tide.
His mind began to regain clarity, and his breathing became smoother.
Slowly, the eight-year-old Barrette opened his eyes.
"You, you are…I, why can't I feel any pain?”
What entered his eyes was a slender man who was very tall for him. He carried two scythes on his back and wore scarlet horny armor on his upper body.
"Hiss ~~~"
Barrette suddenly felt something moving under his body. It roared.
Upon closer inspection, it was actually a huge and adorable lizard. He was currently crawling on the lizard's back.
"Your injuries haven't healed, it's just that the pain was endured by Scott!”
Twelfth Chen stared at the little brat in front of him carefully.
Although he was only 8 years old, Barrette's eyes were filled with unwillingness to admit defeat and calmness.
"Scar?"
Barrette didn't understand.
"It's this stupid lizard. He can help you withstand the attack and pain, but…。。。”
"But what?"
Barrette asked.
"But your injuries are already there, especially the bullet that pierced through your chest. You might die! Scott is just helping you suffer!”
Twelfth Chen explained.
Chen Shi 'er was very clear about the mechanism of Scarr.
If he was attacked while riding on Skar, then Skar would naturally bear the brunt of the attack.
This included pain, internal injuries, and external injuries.
All of this was borne by Sigar, who could withstand twice Chen Shier's endurance.
However, if you were injured first and then climbed onto Scarr's body.
In that case, the injuries you suffered will still be yours.
The blood was still flowing, and what was life-threatening was still the same. Scott was just helping to bear the pain.
This was the ability mechanism of 'Cowardly Lizard' Scar.
"Then will I die?"
To Chen the Twelfth's surprise, Barrette wasn't afraid after hearing the explanation. He just looked unwilling.
"It's hard to say. Your body is very strong. Ordinary people would have died long ago from such injuries!”
"But there's a high chance that he will die!"
Chen the Twelfth shook his head uncertainly.
"Can you let me live? In my daze, I heard the words 'power',' freedom', and 'live on'. This isn't an illusion, right?”
Barrette looked at Chen the Twelfth with the last bit of hope.
He had a strange feeling when facing Twelfth Chen.
That was to seize this opportunity. Perhaps he could change his fate.
"It's not an illusion. I said it!"
"But you, who experienced the cruel war, shouldn't be as naive as other children, right?”
Chen the Twelfth smiled.
"There is no such thing as a free lunch! Tell me, what do you want me to do? I don't know much, only fighting!”
The 8-year-old Barrette didn't seem surprised at all.
"Very good!"
Chen the Twelfth nodded. He had thought that communicating with children would be difficult, but he did not expect it to be so simple.
"Become my family, become my partner, become my subordinate, and I will give you everything you want!”
Twelfth Chen added,"
"Of course, this also requires our joint efforts!”
"What about freedom? Will I be free after becoming your subordinate?”
Barrette suddenly sneered at Chen the Twelfth.
"It's family, companions, and subordinates!"
Twelfth Chen retorted and then nodded."
"Yes, there will be freedom. If you really don't want to be with us one day, just say it and I will give you freedom!”
Chen the Twelfth did not believe that he could not keep a child.
He had powerful equipment and powerful subordinates. There was no reason he couldn't keep Barrette.
Especially since Barrette was only eight years old, his thoughts were not set yet.
Barrette didn't have the idea of being strong alone since he was young.
After suffering three desperate betrayals, this thought began to take shape.
When he was 15 years old, he met Roger and challenged him repeatedly. After failing every time, Barrett joined Roger's Pirates.
When he was 17 years old, Barrett was devastated when he learned that Roger was terminally ill.
When Barrette learned of Roger's death at the age of 18, he had the idea of 'protecting his companions' and fell into anxiety and confusion.
See, when he was 18 years old, Barrette still wanted to protect his friends.
Besides, Barrette was only eight years old.
When Chen the Twelfth thought of Barrette, he had absolute confidence that he could make Barrette his family.
This was also the reason Chen the Twelfth had come to Barrette so early.
Barrette's fighting talent was so strong that he could even transform into a Shura Ghost.
Plus, Barrette grew up in the army, so he was very good at fighting and never showed mercy.
The decisive him was the best candidate to inherit the White Tiger.
"Really?"
Barrette was really surprised.
His heart told him that the man in front of him did not seem to be lying.
"Yes!"
Chen the Twelfth answered with certainty, which finally eased Barrette's face.
"Come, eat this!"
Chen the Twelfth suddenly spat out a white devil fruit and gave it to Barrette.
"What is this?"
Barrette hadn't heard of the Demon Fruit yet. He looked at the strange lines on the fruit and was curious.
"This is called the Demon Fruit. Eating it will give you unimaginable power!”
"This is the animal type, cat fruit, magical beast type, white tiger form!”
"After eating it, your life will be saved and you will have the potential to become a peerless expert!”
Chen the Twelfth explained patiently.
"Understood!"
Barrette didn't hesitate. He took the Demon Fruit and ate it.
"Ugh!"
"It tastes so bad!"
Barrette looked disgusted. However, he instantly felt a strong power surging from his body.
At the same time, a gust of wind wrapped Barrette up. He floated up from Scott's back.
"The power of the wind? As expected of the fastest White Tiger!”
Chen Shier looked at Barrette, who was wrapped in the wind, and nodded.
