Paper fruit among pirates

Chapter 299

New World, Faroe Islands,

Under the jurisdiction of the Navy's G-5 branch.

Bang!
Kicked a civilian to the ground with one kick, and scattered the photos in his hand all over the ground.If the Straw Hats were here, they would find that the photos in the hands of this commoner were the children they saved.

Of course, a child of normal size.

The kicker was an admiral wearing a coat, a military cap, and a... very flamboyant tights, and his feet were metal armor.

"How many times has it been said that the children's deaths were 'accidents'! You have been pestered too much!"

"One more time please..."

"Ask the navy to help us find it again,"

"If possible, can you contact Lieutenant General 'White Pigeon' for us? I heard that he is best at—"

(Alternate generals belong to the internal rank of the navy, and the rank of lieutenant general is still external)

"Presumptuous! You are too much!!"

Angry Admiral Overhead Commodore... Yes, his name is 'Overhead', just like his catchphrase.

"These things are facts that have been repeatedly confirmed by Lieutenant General Virgo, the superior of our 'G-5' branch!"

"It's been searched [-] times!"

······The Brigadier General is exaggerating again·····

The G-5 navies behind were speechless. This officer just likes to exaggerate, such as:

"If you continue to quarrel, you will be killed for obstructing official duties, and then this town will be set on fire!"

"Haha, Commodore, that would be too much."

"let's go!"

Faced with such a vicious G-5 Commodore, the parents gathered in this town could only silently wipe away their tears.As ordinary people, let alone going to sea, they have never left this town in their lives.What are you going to do to find your child?
"Even Mr. Virgo, who protected the island from pirates, said it was an accident..."

"How is that possible! Just playing around the house and it turned into a 'shipwreck' death? How do we believe that..."

"Huh, really."

And the brigadier general who left angrily curled his lips. He is also a general who can kill hundreds of millions of pirates by himself. (The two brothers Caribou were swiped in the explosive list.) Then he has this time to help ordinary people find children?What's more:
"You actually want to contact the alternate general of 'White Pigeon', damn it! I wish I could be transferred to that subordinate. I have a lot of credit, sufficient supplies, and I can get promoted and get rich while lying down! It's too comfortable..."

"Commander, don't even think about it. They are all 'Second Generation Hai' in their team. Relying on the prestige of the 'White Pigeon' candidate general, they have all been promoted to major general and lieutenant general. It's simply—"

Makes people envious, jealous and hateful!

Although it is said that the navy respects strength, a higher rank means better equipment, more elite subordinates, more advanced skill learning authority, and even the distribution priority of devil fruit, etc...

Just like the 'six styles', you must be a school officer to apply for study.Iron blocks and finger guns require the rank of brigadier general to obtain the cultivation methods. Not everyone has Karp as a teacher. If you can be a lieutenant, you can start to learn the six styles.Otherwise, the six styles would have flooded the ocean long ago!

All members of Yuebu's aunt's family have the detailed training method of "Yuebu" because they have obtained the refuge of several fallen navy men.Instead of being 'self-taught' like other strong people who can't teach others.

For example, Luffy who can do it with just one look, and Sanji who can go to the sky just by running...
"Forget it, it's a blessing for our G-5 branch to have Lieutenant General Virgo here. Don't complain too much!"

Commodore Overhead knows very well that if he switches to another navy, he may not be able to tolerate the 'rogue' navy of their G-5 branch!The most important thing for a person is contentment.

·····However, these navies did not expect that the two "naval models" in their mouths not only have the identity of pirates, but also will soon stage a spark hitting the earth.

"Hey, oh, oh, all the agents in front of the screen,"

In Punk Hazard's test base, Caesar, who turned himself into smoke, picked up the microphone and began to show his "goods" to underground arms brokers around the new world.after all:
Research is expensive!
Vegapunk has a large funder, the navy, who provides him with a large amount of materials to burn, while wild scientists like Caesar must exchange "commodities" for money.In this world where wars are frequent and strongmen are everywhere, what is more valuable than a more powerful killing weapon?

Sell ​​'human gigantism' to Big Mom, and offer 'artificial devil fruit' to Kaido.And now, Caesar is going to launch a third weapon that falls below the lower limit of human beings.

"Sorry for the hasty experiment, but I guarantee that after seeing the next scene, you will definitely find it worth the money!"

In various countries in the New World, the tyrants wandering in the underground market looked at Caesar talking on the screen, quietly waiting for his next words.

"The poison gas weapon I will show to all kinds is more powerful, perfect, and—"

"Efficient!"

As the screen switched, it changed to the outside scene: the huge jelly-like slime squirmed, chasing the armed personnel of the laboratory, the soldiers of G-5, and even everyone from the Straw Hats all over the ground.

"Today, we are honored to 'invite' the elite of the navy and pirates: the G-5 branch led by 'White Hunter' Smoker, and the 'Straw Hat Pirates' with a total bounty of over 9 million to show you The power of my new weapon!"

········
'It's really a big deal to use the navy as an experiment! '

'Aren't those the Straw Hats who just came back?How did you get involved with the mad scientist Caesar...'

'Interesting, if this poisonous gas is really so powerful, it would be a good choice to equip some. '

'I'm afraid that Caesar will be self-defeating--'

All kinds of conversations reverberate in the underground world. Compared with the "comfort" in the first half of the great route, the kings, lords, and mayors in the second half are much more concerned about the replacement of war weapons.after all:
Even if you are a master, you still have the possibility of being overwhelmed by various high-tech weapons!
What's more, in the war, most of them are ordinary people of flesh and blood who are attacking cities and territories.Even if it is used to deter hostile forces, it is very necessary. If you don't have a little hole card, you can't get along in the new world.

"Hey, what are these ghost things that explode when you cut them?"

After Sauron cut a 'little slime' with a flying slash, the opponent exploded cleanly.The Straw Hats didn't dare to underestimate these wriggling things. Of course, they were afraid to say:

"How about I freeze them all?"

Nami suggested,

"I can create a 'separation zone' with poison-resistant plants,"

Usopp raised his hand too.

"It would be even better if we could test out the weaknesses of these 'slimes'."

They... no, its weakness is water.

Of course, Roman isn't going to spoil it either.On the one hand, the Straw Hats can handle this kind of thing, on the other hand:
"Wow, these jellies are coming together!"

Luffy looked excitedly at the giant purple slime that merged into several stories tall, and turned his head to look at Roman with great interest.

"I've decided, I want to raise it! The name is Xiaoruan—"

"Roman, quickly find a way to catch it!"

··········
"Sorry, there's no way our ship can hold something that big. But:"

With a move from Roman, a group of slimes the size of a human head was wrapped in white paper, and then covered with a layer of solid ice!
"Maybe we're trying to raise a small..."

While the few people were chatting, a huge 'candy' was thrown from the nearby laboratory base, and then submerged into the body of the huge purple slime.

coming!

"Hey, oh, oh~~ eat, eat, my dear pet."

Behind Monet's complaint that "it can't hear what you're saying", Caesar watched the huge purple slime swallow the "candy", revealing a few:
Fruits with circles of patterns!
Artificial devil fruit.

These Caesar carefully selected 'artificial poisonous devil fruit'.

Although it is only a semi-finished product, it will produce various unknown mutations while endowing users with highly toxic abilities, so it has no practical value at all, but what if it is originally used to feed a guy who can only function after death?

For creatures that have eaten devil fruit, this artificial fruit can also kill the eater.

"Then, see you in the next life!"

Boom~~~
The huge slime that had just digested these artificial devil fruits swelled, collapsed, and decomposed instantly!Turned into a blast of poisonous gas, - it was killed by its own master.

That's right!This huge slime is also a 'devil fruit capable user', and its main body is a gel-like poisonous gas-H2S gas bomb that eats the 'salamander fruit-hexagonal dinosaur type' through high technology.

Since the devil fruit has endowed it with life, it of course also inherited the fatal weakness of not being able to eat two devil fruits.so:
"This huge monster just died like this?"

"Turn into smoke... no, it's poisonous gas!"

As the huge slime suddenly disintegrated and spread, this kind of problematic thing made everyone run away subconsciously, and a laboratory guard who was engulfed in poisonous gas turned into:

"statue!?"

"That person... became stiff!"

"What is this, 'Master'! Help us..."

In an instant, the people around were shocked!They have all seen poisonous gas before, but this terrifying poisonous gas is simply challenging the lower limit of human beings. A living person instantly turns into a gray-white statue or something——

"Hey, oh, oh, everyone."

In the laboratory base, Caesar is triumphantly introducing his 'new product' to the tyrants all over the new world.

"No matter how deadly ordinary poisonous gas is, it will be carried away by those with strong physiques."

The gap between human physiques in this world is simply the difference between a baby and an Ultraman.Ordinary people are still flesh and blood, and they will die if they fall; but even if the strong are seriously injured and dying, they can soak in the oil pan for a few hours.

The same poisonous gas, which is instantly fatal to ordinary people, is no more than a tickle in the throat in front of the monsters of the great route... no, even the soldiers.so:
"So, in the new mixed toxin I developed this time, I added something like a 'protein coagulant'. It can make any creature covered by the poisonous gas—note, it's any!"

"They will all become stiff in an instant, and then die silently in the follow-up poison gas attack! Hey, oh, oh~~~"

Terrible laughter spread throughout the base—even through the entire island through a phone bug that quietly appeared in the corner of the room at unknown times.

"Hey~~ Domination, war, stealing the country!"

Caesar's voice was full of sinister allure, like the whisper of a demon.

"You can also make your mortal enemy into a 'statue', and admire his painful and pleading figure forever. There are many functions, so buy it quickly~~"

------

"I'm not going to catch that Caesar,"

In front of the base, watching those subordinates abandoned by Caesar turn into statues of blood and tears one by one.Luffy pressed the straw hat seriously.

"I'm going to kill him!—Romain,"

"you say,"

The white knight next to him nodded.

"I listen."

"Save everyone here!"

'Here' includes the Straw Hats, the G-5 Navy, and:
A subordinate who was abandoned by Caesar.

"can."

On the other side, 'Roman' and 'Nami' wearing admiral's coats flew to the Sunshine Melly. When the two of them landed on the deck, the look in their eyes disappeared immediately, and they turned into two innocent 'White Knight' puppet.

much easier,

Among the white knights "paddling" on the battlefield, Roman, who withdrew his long-distance energy to maintain the two puppets, moved his neck.

brush brush --

On the side, after a few saber flashes, the steel gate of the laboratory, which was able to resist the bombardment, was torn apart by Sauron.

"Those who don't want to die, go in."
